The eighth day of May.
Auspicious days of the zodiac.
The wedding of King Yan.
After going through a series of cumbersome etiquette such as accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, collecting taxes, requesting dates, and registering.
Xu Yi finally ushered in her wedding day.
Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning.)
The night was still thick, and Xu Yi opened his eyes from the bed.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he didn't have time to stand up.
Zhao Shou's excited voice came from outside the bedroom: "Six, it's Yin time."
Xu Yi stood up slowly and rubbed his cheeks, which were still slightly sleepy, with both hands.
When he woke up a little, he picked up a black robe and put it on his body.
Then he got off the bed.
"Six, the water is ready." When he opened the bedroom door, he saw Zhao Shou's excited smile.
"Okay." Xu Yi agreed, and then ordered: "Let those palace ladies come in."
"Yes." Zhao Shou agreed, and then quickly ran towards the front yard.
After what happened last time, Xu Yi had already strictly ordered the remaining maids to step even half a step into the backyard.
If you step on it, you will be killed without mercy.
Xu Yi didn't think about replacing all the remaining dozen maids.
The reason for the delay is simply that the time has not come.
First, those maids and servants belong to Emperor Zhengde. To expel them without making any mistakes is tantamount to going against Emperor Zhengde.
Because some palace maids and servants had tit-for-tat with Emperor Zhengde in advance, it was purely out of their minds.
Secondly, if the huge Prince Yan's palace didn't have a few maids and servants, it would be a bit too covert.
Even if a replacement is to be made, a certain number of maids and servants must be present in Prince Yan's Mansion before the fault can be found and replaced.
The maids and servants in the tooth shop in Chang'an City were probably infiltrated long before the frame-up broke out.
Even if Xu Yi wanted to find maids and servants to fill the shoes of the King of Yan, he would only find suitable candidates on the road to becoming a feudal lord or in the land of Yan.
After a while, Xu Yi finished washing and took out the Jiuzhao Jiuzhang Prince Qinglong Mianfu from his bedroom.
As soon as the palace maids arrived, they put on the green dragon crown dress, which symbolized the identity of the prince, under the service of all the palace ladies.
"Sixth, the chariot has been prepared, and the Minister of Rites Zuo, Guanglu Temple Zuo Shaoqing and the Prince's honor guard have also arrived outside the mansion." When Xu Yi walked out of the room, Zhao Shou hurriedly reported.
Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, then nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yi walked straight out of the house.
The main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion was opened slowly, and Xu Yi paused on the steps of the main entrance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Loud noises accompanied by sparks exploded outside the main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion.
When the sound of firecrackers resounded through the streets, Xu Yi slowly walked through the window and walked towards the vehicle.
After a while, the prince's guard of honor moved forward slowly on the morning dew.
The purpose of this trip is not the Wang family compound where Princess Yan lives.
But the Ancestral Temple.
The prince's ceremonial procession slowly advanced and finally arrived at the ancestral hall as the morning sun was blooming.
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Guanglu Temple and other officials, as well as dozens of princes and princes in the capital, had been waiting for a long time.
On the chariot side, the Ministry of Rites led the ceremonial officer to step forward, bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Please lower down the chariot from the King of Yan's palace."

Hearing this, Xu Yi straightened his clothes slightly and then stepped out of the carriage.
"We pay our respects to His Highness King Yan." Everyone saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said: "No courtesy."
When everything was ready, Xu Yi was led by the ceremonial officer, presided over by the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, and witnessed by dozens of clan princes.
This tedious ceremony began.
By the time the ceremony was over, the sun was already rising.
"The ceremony is over! King Yan moves to Zichen Palace!" The Minister of Rites stood outside the Ancestral Temple and recited the ceremony loudly.
After saying this, Xu Yi slowly walked out of the Ancestral Temple under the guidance of the ceremony officer.
"Your Majesty, King Yan, please raise the chariot!" The chariot leader once again raised his hands and saluted.
One descends, one comes, one comes, completing the etiquette.
Wait for Xu Yi to ride on the chariot to Taipei
Outside the temple.
The prince's ceremony has been waiting for a long time.
As the wheels turned slowly, the prince's honor guard instantly became lively.
Inside the carriage.
Xu Yi slowly raised his right hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
There was a tired look on his face.
Since entering May.
First, he fights the people behind the frame-up.
Later, he was entangled in all kinds of cumbersome etiquette.
There really is no stopping for a moment.
This is especially true for today's personal welcome gift.
The real welcome actually starts around dusk.
But as an emperor and as a Yan, he must perform a series of complicated etiquette at the right time.
I was busy with a series of matters such as offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple and applying for admission to the palace, and it was almost dusk.
Of course, the etiquette of King Yan is complicated, and the etiquette of Princess Yan is no less generous.
The canonization ceremony alone made Wang Qiujin exhausted physically and mentally.
Well, all this will be a thing of the past.
As long as they are greeted and married, the two of them are considered a married couple.
As for the subsequent court ceremony, toilet gift ceremony, temple visit ceremony, and return ceremony, we can only wait until the future.
After all the etiquette is completed, it is time for the couple to officially embark on the road to becoming a feudal lord.
Thinking about it, Xu Yi suddenly felt relaxed for no reason.
...
...
It's approaching dusk.
A series of complicated etiquette finally came to an end.
Xu Yi slowly walked out of Chengtianmen under the leadership of the ceremony officer.
"Your Majesty, King Yan, please raise the chariot!" the ceremonial officer at the Chengtian Gate of the imperial palace said loudly with his hands raised.
When Xu Yi walked into the chariot compartment, the ceremonial officer said loudly again: "In front of the guard of honor, Wang Sheng, behind the goose guard, pass by and play music!"
As soon as the words fell, the guard of honor moved in front, and the chariot followed closely. The ceremonial officers holding wild geese and other etiquette persons followed slowly behind the chariot.
Next, eight large sedan chairs, ceremony officials from the Ministry of Rites, young princes of the clan, female officials in the palace, etc. followed slowly.
The entire welcoming team numbered nearly a thousand and stretched for four to five miles.
Royal musicians played all the way to fully enhance the joy of welcoming the bride.
The wedding procession moved along Zhuque Street.
There were countless people joining in the fun along the way.
The chariot walks slowly among countless human fireworks.
The attendants who followed closely behind the chariot almost all held a cloth bag embroidered with the Chinese character "Happiness" in red.
The cloth pockets are full of wrapped candies and pastries.
The carriages were not moving, and the hands of the people who were attending to the ceremony kept throwing candies and pastries towards the left and right sides.

Xu Yi opened the back of the carriage and looked quietly at the people watching on both sides.
Looking at it, the corners of Xu Yi's mouth gradually showed a smile that was no different from the faces of ordinary people.
The wedding team slowly arrived at the Wang Family Courtyard amidst bursts of ritual music and the laughter of the people.
"Please, King Yan, surrender the chariot." The ceremonial officer paused and stood on the left side of the chariot, bowing his hands and saluting loudly.
After finishing his words, Xu Yi opened the car and slowly walked out of the car.
: "Is this His Highness King Yan? He is truly a talented person."
: "Isn't this nonsense? Isn't the prince a talented person?"
: "The Wang family's ancestral graves are filled with smoke. We can become in-laws with Your Majesty."
: "Who says it's not the case? It would be great if my daughter had such a good life."
For a moment, the neighbors standing around at the main entrance of the Wang Family Courtyard exchanged words with envy in their eyes.
There was inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred in his words.
From the corner of Xu Yi's eyes, he glanced at the neighbors on the left and right sides of the Wang family compound.
Then he didn't care at all, straightened his clothes slightly, silently adjusted his slightly restless inner clothes, and quietly waited for the next step.
The Minister of Rites, who was located behind the chariot, led the officer in charge and walked slowly behind Xu Yi.
After everyone was in their seats, the etiquette officer guided everyone into the Wang family courtyard.
"The ceremony is over." In the Wang family courtyard, the ceremony official stopped and turned to face Xu Yi with a deep breath.
Then he silently retreated to the end of the line.
At the same time, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and took over the position of the ceremonial officer.
"The King of Yan is enforcing the etiquette of welcoming you!" the Minister of Etiquette said loudly toward the main room of the Wang family.
In the central hall of the main house of the Wang family.
Wang Wenqing lives on the upper left side of the central hall, the Grand Master's chair, and the wife of the Wang family sits on the right of the Grand Master's chair.
After hearing this, the two of them stood up together and saluted slowly facing the wedding procession.
The ceremony is over.
Xu Yi walked into the Wang family hall under the guidance of the Minister of Rites.
Behind him, the person holding the goose brought the goose in and placed it on the eucalyptus slip between Wang Wenqing and the wife of the Wang family.
"The King of Yan pays four obeisances." The Minister of Rites stood on one side of the central hall and said loudly.
After hearing this, Xu Yi went forward and bowed four times to Wang Wenqing, the wife of the Wang family, and the wild goose in the middle.
"Li, lead the concubine out of the house." The Minister of Rites said loudly again.
As soon as the words fell, eight female palace officials led Wang Qiujin, who was wearing a red gift and a red silk hijab, out of the house slowly.
"The king and I will perform four bows together." The Minister of Rites said loudly.
After the words fell, Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin took half a step forward and saluted slowly.
"Etiquette, play music." After four bows, the Minister of Rites said loudly again.
The royal musicians immediately played the joyful music.
With bursts of festive musical instruments, Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin walked out of the Wang family compound side by side, holding a red silk.
"Happy." The Minister of Rites said loudly.
Waiting for the sound of musical instruments, the Minister of Rites continued: "Please invite King Yan to ascend, and please invite Princess Yan to ascend the sedan chair."
After Xu Yi walked into the carriage, Wang Qiujin walked into the eight-carriage phoenix sedan.
The Minister of Rites once again said loudly: "Etiquette, play music."
Waves of joy resounded through the streets again, and the chariot and sedan chair slowly walked towards the Prince Yan's Mansion amidst the sound of joy.
When I arrived, hundreds of people were added to the welcoming team.
….

There are more than a thousand before and after, the former is the prince's gift, and the latter is the royal dowry.
The procession stretches for more than ten people, corresponding to the eight phoenix sedan chairs and the ten-mile red makeup.
Dusk is getting deeper.
The welcoming team finally arrived in front of the main gate of Prince Yan's Mansion after knocking all the way.
As soon as the welcoming team arrived, bursts of firecrackers sounded in front of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Compared to the Wang family, the Prince Yan's residence was really crowded at this time.
There are countless members of the clan, civil and military officials, Imperial Academy supervisors, and the daughters of their families.
As for Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and others, they had already become managers at this time, busy with greetings.
Another round of complicated etiquette.
After the complicated etiquette was over, Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin walked to the middle hall of Prince Yan's mansion holding red silk.
In the middle hall of Prince Yan's palace, Xu, the host of the wedding, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the two of them walking slowly together holding a red silk.
A heartfelt smile instantly bloomed on his face.
"Okay, okay." Xu Zhen looked at Er with a smile on his face and just said hello repeatedly.
It seems that I have forgotten the next process.
Fortunately, the Minister of Rites immediately noticed it and glanced at the left minister of the Ministry of Rites next to Xu Zhen.
Even if you marry into an ordinary wealthy family, there are many details and rituals.
Are you even talking about the royal family?
The left minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded slightly, and then gently tugged at the hem of Xu Zhen's sleeve: "Prince Jin's Palace, the good time has arrived."
Hearing the mention from the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Zhen came to his senses instantly.
He cleared his throat subtly, and then formally presided over a series of rituals such as worship.
Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin were already a little numb after going through the tedious etiquette for a whole day.
Fortunately, the process of worshiping and waiting is relatively simple.
After a while, the worship ceremony officially ended.
Following etiquette, the two were immediately sent into the cave, where a series of complicated reasons were waiting for them.
The full hall of guests entered the banquet under the leadership of Zhao Shou, Yang Xian'an and a group of Honglu Temple officials.
In the bridal chamber.
"King Yan has his wish." The female official in the palace said loudly, holding a mahogany tray.
The mahogany tray quietly held a jade Ruyi.
Xu Yi reached out and picked up Yuru, and slowly opened the red hijab on Wang Qiujin's head.
along with
The red hijab was slowly lifted, and a beautiful face with a hint of blush appeared in front of Xu Yi's eyes.
Wang Qiujin is already a first-class beauty, but today she dressed up carefully because she was older.
Nowadays, it is even more beautiful.
For a moment, the jade Ruyi in Xu Yi's hand paused on Wang Qiujin's head.
The person who had been gradually numbed by the cumbersome etiquette suddenly came to life the moment he lifted off the red hijab.
Unconsciously, Xu Yi's cheeks also had a hint of red.
In the final analysis, although he has been together for two lifetimes, this is still the first time that he has finally settled down with a woman and held hands together.
Seeing the shock on Xu Yi's face, Wang Qiujin was stunned. She lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks that were already blushing instantly became rosier.
"King Yan, you wish." The female official in the palace seemed to have seen many similar situations before, and reminded her with a slight smile.
Xu Yi came back to his senses, coughed slightly, made up his mind, and then completely picked up the red hijab and returned the jade Ruyi to its original position.
"Your Majesty, please take your place." The female official in the palace said loudly.
Wang Qiujin didn't care about being ashamed after hearing this, and slowly stood up and stood opposite Xu Yi.
"Praise."
Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin bowed to each other.
"Praise again."
The two saluted each other again.
"The King pays his respects again."
Xu Yi bowed to Wang Qiujin again.
"Concubine, please pay homage."
Wang Qiujin picked up a piece, blushed and raised the kuaizi close to Xu Yi's lips.
Xu Yi smiled, then opened his mouth and ate the piece of meat.
"Wang Jiabai."
After the two of them had fed each of them, the female official in the palace said loudly: "The ceremony is completed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid holding a mahogany tray replaced the palace maid who was holding the prison ceremony.
The new maid held a mahogany tray with a jug of wine and two bottles of wine on it.
The so-called gourd is actually a gourd cut in two to make a wine vessel.
Under the auspices of the palace female official, Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin drank glasses of wine with each other.
"The marriage ceremony is completed!" After the two of them drank together, the female official in the palace said loudly again.
The emperor who came out of Zongzheng Temple through the ages.
