After staying in Sixiang City for a while, Qi Xingyun returned to the capital palace with a group of people waiting.
As a result, the marriage to Princess Daxia was also put on the agenda.
The whole concubine thing went smoothly enough, and Queen Zhao and the others accepted this fact.
There is no way, it is very common for the emperor to take a concubine, not to mention that this time the concubine is married to Daxia, so there is no chance of being careless, and there is no way for them to be petty.
But on the way to the wedding, Qi Xingyun kept asking Eunuch Wang Yun whether Jiang Wulang's wife had entered the city.
Jiang Wulang's incident in Tongtianhe always affected his heart and always made him worried.
A wedding is a very tiring thing. The preparations started in the morning and continued until the evening when the palace became quieter.
Qi Xingyun also found some breathing space and sneaked into the main hall.
The artists who entered the palace also showed off their various unique skills. Everyone in the palace put on bright red clothes, and everything looked festive. Even the lanterns were covered with a red curtain.
Qi Xingyun's feeling for Li Yuanshuang is that she is a very beautiful woman, nothing more.
Moreover, there was a deal behind Li Yuanshuang's entry into the palace. Li Yuanshuang was the guarantee of Daxia's surrender.
Qi Xingyun was extremely calm throughout the wedding process, and even sneaked away.
He took a break to deal with more important matters.
Jiang Wulang's Zhazi was very solid and he did not make any false reports. He stared at the Kanyu map and frowned in thought.
Qi Xingyun stretched hard and said to Eunuch Wang Yun: "Send these papers to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War will spread them to all armies to prepare for the spring offensive."
"Give me General Luo's letter."
Luo Fengtang would also write a letter and send it to him every once in a while. Qi Xingyun would read it carefully every time.
After repeated confirmations, Qi Xingyun finally determined the deployment and strategies of each army and sent them to the generals.
Eunuch Wang Yun picked up a few Daozi and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Your Majesty has to go to Li Cairen's place. We can't delay it any longer."
"Why don't you read the general's notes tomorrow?"
The emperor's wedding is naturally different from ordinary people.
The first thing Qi Xingyun did when he woke up in the morning was to go to the ancestral temple, the Confucian Temple, and the Wu Temple to perform sacrifices.
Eunuch Wang Yun and Zhang Tingyu prepared the wedding for Qi Xingyun, mainly focusing on three things: accepting the wedding, accepting the wedding, and announcing the date.
Naji brought Li Yuanshuang's birthday and horoscopes for divination.
Recruitment is the etiquette of giving betrothal gifts. All marriages in the Ming Dynasty require betrothal gifts, and the emperor is no exception. This aspect is mainly supervised by the father-in-law Wang Yun.
The reporting period is to leave the selected auspicious day to the emperor for decision. Of course, this day is whatever the emperor likes.
When everything is determined, the internal funds begin to prepare the throne, plan, plan, lubo, and caiyu.
The Minister of Internal Affairs accepted the gifts from various officials and placed them on the platform of Daqing Hall to show the congratulations of the ministers.
Qi Xingyun removed this step because it was too troublesome.
Qi Xingyun ordered the officials to give a thumbs up to each person to settle the matter.
The preparation work was so tedious, and the wedding ceremony was even more tedious, which made Qi Xingyun's mentality explode.
He woke up before dawn in the morning, and even when he was lazy and ran to the main hall, it was still not over yet.
"I will put on my crown clothes and go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. Then I will put on my wedding clothes and go to Yanfu Palace to have a wedding ceremony. Then we will have dinner. After eating and drinking, I and Li Yuanshuang will change into ordinary clothes and go to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices. Finally, we will have to take a bath. A gift?" Qi Xingyun felt a headache when he looked at Zha Zi.
"This is the last step to get to the bridal chamber. Can't we skip some steps?" Qi Xingyun asked with a frown.
Eunuch Wang Yun said in horror: "Your Majesty, you must not save anything! These are all etiquette. If we skip them, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will make His Majesty angry again."
Can meticulous etiquette demonstrate royal majesty? Why doesn't he believe it so much?
If the traitors can be wiped out, does it really matter whether the wedding is well-mannered or not?
The majesty of the royal family can still be measured by its civil and military skills.
Qi Xingyun continued to go through the process. Just the bridal chamber process took nearly two hours!
When everything was settled, Qi Xingyun lay on the bed and didn't want to move. This day's wedding had really exhausted him.
"Your Majesty, I am still a concubine. Please have mercy on me." Li Yuanshuang hid under the quilt and said in a very low voice.
Li Yuanshuang's answer was bursts of snoring.
The emperor of Daqi finished the day's rituals and dealt with a lot of papers. After finally finishing the hypnotic wedding ceremony, he fell asleep.
Li Yuanshuang touched his face and pinched his waist in surprise. He always felt that something was wrong. His Majesty fell asleep like this? !
Qi Xingyun did fall asleep, he was very tired.
Li Yuanshuang looked at Qi Xingyun in his sleep under the moonlight, feeling a little obsessed. Is this the man she wants to follow for the rest of her life? A man who fell asleep during the wedding night.
However, Qi Xingyun did not sleep peacefully. He dreamed that the war with the rebels was not going well, and he was shot in the head with an arrow.
He also dreamed of a group of innocent ghosts chasing him, asking for his life.
Li Yuanshuang felt a little unconsciously distressed when she saw Qi Xingyun's brows furrowed from time to time. The emperor seemed to be working really hard.
Qi Xingyun had not slept soundly. He suddenly woke up and sat up, breathing heavily.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Li Yuanshuang must not be able to sleep. She looked at Qi Xingyun sitting in the bed curtain and asked in surprise.
"Eunuch Wang Yun!" Qi Xingyun gasped and shouted loudly: "Go and call Zhang Tingyu to the main hall!"
When I wake up from my usual dreams, I don’t remember anything, just an emotion.
But when he woke up from this dream today, he still remembered the terrible and ferocious faces of those innocent souls behind him.
He knew what it was, but he had no time to deal with it because he had to decide on the spring offensive strategy against the rebels and prepare for a wedding.
"Eunuch Wang Yun, send the general's papers to Wende Hall. I want to see them now." Qi Xingyun said while getting dressed.
Eunuch Wang Yun hurriedly walked in and said, "Master Zhang has sent someone to fetch him. The general's papers arrived last night and have been placed in the palace."
Qi Xingyun nodded, put on his regular clothes, and prepared to go to the main hall.
"Your Majesty, it's only the fourth watch today." Li Yuanshuang asked timidly.
Qi Xingyun turned around and said to Li Yuanshuang with a smile: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues, I will feel uneasy. I will come back tomorrow."
Li Yuanshuang's tears were welling up in her eyes. She timidly lifted a corner of the bed curtain and said, "Your Majesty, you won't lie."
Which woman enjoys this treatment when she gets married?
My husband left to deal with official documents on the way to the wedding. He was so tired that he fell asleep when he hit the pillow. He woke up from his sleep and left the bridal chamber at the fourth watch?
All of this happened so fast and so outrageously that Li Yuanshuang was a little unexpected.
She always felt that she was beautiful enough to tie up Qi Xingyun's kidney.
How can I imagine that His Majesty is just pretending to be the best in the world?
Li Yuanshuang felt that it was really difficult to be the emperor's concubine. His Majesty had never even looked at her.
Qi Xingyun nodded and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, Li Cairen, you can rest assured."
