Chapter 320: Drunk them all after the wedding(1/2)
As an emperor, the wedding process is extremely complicated, and the whole process is divided into several stages.
The first is to receive gifts. The royal family prepares gifts. At the same time, they are conferred by the emperor at the court. They are sent to each house along with gold books, gold treasures, cloth, silk and satin, etc. The envoys Liu Wei and Liu Yuan serve as the chief and deputy envoys go to give gifts and deliver them.
Gold book.
And this also completed the first process, and then there were separate banquets to entertain several families inside and outside the palace.
The day before the official registration, Zhou Yu still had to pray to heaven and earth and kneel down to worship his ancestors. This matter alone took Zhou Yu a whole day, kneeling and kowtowing incense.
A solemn wedding is indeed what it should be, but when all the understanding is complicated to the extreme, it will make people feel tortured.
Moreover, there are still four women entering the palace together. Although the situation is not as exaggerated as four times more, it still creates a lot of trouble.
But this is the only one. If more people are to be conferred as concubines in the future, such a grand event will never happen again.
On the contrary, Zhou Yu didn't feel so tired on the day of the wedding, but it was the most luxurious day since he came to this world. He first accepted the kneeling of the officials in the morning, and then accepted the kneeling again with Yu Shiyi, and knelt down continuously.
Many times, Zhou Yu looked at the ups and downs of the ministers and felt tired for them.
After the relevant procedures were completed, the concubines were taken into the harem first, leaving only Zhou Yu and Queen Shiyi to carry out the next step.
By the time Zhou Yu gave a banquet to the officials and they could finally escape, the sun had already set in the west.
Dragging myself tiredly, I took a sedan chair to the Zhengde Hall, the queen's palace. When I walked into the hall, I saw Shiyi sitting on a dragon bed and a phoenix on a bed. She was graceful and luxurious, with a phoenix crown and a garland. It was so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes away from it once you saw it.
What does it mean to be an ancient beauty? What Zhou Yu sees now is a real classical beauty, but the current situation looks a bit funny.
Not caring about the image, Kao Shiyi tilted his head and leaned on the bedpost with his eyes closed and a tired look on his face. He was holding a well-behaved white cat in his arms and had no idea about Zhou Yu's arrival.
There were many maids standing in the palace, and a table full of delicacies. When he saw Zhou Yu approaching, he was about to kneel down and salute, but Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Okay, don't disturb the queen.
"
Zhou Yu looked at Yu Shiyi who was still resting with his eyes closed, turned around and whispered: "Chang Shi Zhao."
"The old slave is here."
"Go and send the three concubines over,"
Zhao Teng was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, this is not good, this is the queen's bedroom, it is not polite."
"Where do you think I am? I am that kind of person?" Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Teng and said, "Since we are married, we are a family, and a family must know each other. What's wrong with having a meal together?"
Zhao Teng hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty must be tired. He will rest at the queen's place tonight. The other concubines don't have to worry."
"Go." Zhou Yu shook his head gently and said, "Which of these concubines is not the proud daughter of heaven at home? Although today's wedding is not as good as the queen's, I can't bear to have them stay alone in the palace. If there is any resentment in my heart, I don't know what will happen.
There are so many troubles happening in this harem, today I just want to have a meal with them in peace, and I don’t need you to serve them, so get out of here.”
Zhao Teng was helpless: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after, three women with the same Feng Guangxia and luxurious clothes were sent to the Xuanzang Hall by the two palace maids, each wearing a red hijab.
Several people were wearing red ponchos and couldn't see what was in front of them. They didn't know what was going on. Zhao Teng was not a talkative person. He would do whatever Zhou Yu said and would not explain even a single sentence. Zhao Teng just went one after another.
I went to inform them to move the fight, but now I don’t know where I am, and I feel confused.
I thought too much that I was favored by the emperor. On such an important day, the queen didn't care and instead chose me to come and sleep with her. I didn't know how proud I was.
Zhou Yu sat next to Yu Shiyi at this moment. When the three concubines were helped to sit on the round table, Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked all the maids in the palace to leave.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet. There were three concubines who didn't know what was going on, a queen who was still dozing, and Zhou Yu, the emperor who was looking at the four girls in boredom.
Seeing the three people sitting obediently, Zhou Yu chuckled and scratched the little face of Nao Shiyi next to him. Perhaps because he felt that his face was being scratched, Nao Shiyi slowly opened his eyes and saw the smiling face.
My own Zhou Yu.
The startled Jian Shiyi hurriedly wanted to stand up and greet her, but Zhou Yu quickly pressed his fingers on Jiao Shiyi's lips, signaling Jiao Shiyi to look towards where the three concubines were sitting.
At this sight, Shi Yi's eyes widened, with a confused look on his face and a look of disbelief on his face. His round eyes seemed to be asking Zhou Yu what was going on.
Zhou Yu blinked at Kao Shiyi, took Kao Shiyi's hand, stood up, and walked to the table filled with delicacies for her to sit down.
Only then did they cough slightly to create some movement, and then Zhou Yu and Yan Shiyi saw the three concubines sitting upright and their bodies trembled slightly.
"Ahem, I am going to lift your head now. From now on, you are not allowed to speak or make any sound. No matter what surprises you see, please keep your mouth shut."
The three concubines nodded slightly after hearing Zhou Yu's words. Zhou Yu picked up the scale and smiled at Yang Shiyi, and also moved the scale in the direction of Yang Shiyi. As a result, Yang Shiyi quickly waved his hand and shook his head.
I also understood that Zhou Yu wanted to tease these three people, so he covered his mouth and eyes with laughter.
Ji Shiyi had been in contact with Zhou Yu for a long time, so how could he not know Zhou Yu's rogue side? If he wasn't a rogue, he wouldn't have often asked her to enter the palace, bullied her, and slept on her lap. Even though he was the emperor, sometimes he was not upright.
Shape, like to keep pets and like to sleep.
Kao Shiyi didn't want Zhou Yu to force him, so he directly picked up the scale and lifted off the red hijab on the head of the concubine closest to him.
Zhou Yu looked at the concubine whose hijab was lifted. She was a beautiful girl with some foreign characteristics. Her skin was like snow, her nose was high and her red lips were flaming. There was only one person with such characteristics, Taiyuan, who was from Qihu.
Wang Jinrong’s daughter, Jin Zhener.
Unexpectedly, he was the first one to lift the lid of this domineering and ambitious little pepper.
The red hijab was lifted, and Jin Zhen'er's closed eyes and eyebrows were trembling. She slowly opened her eyes with a nervous and shy face, and looked at the two people in front of her vaguely, and then saw two more people who had not opened their eyes.
The bride with a hijab is extremely confused inside.
"Shh."
Zhou Yu made a slight gesture, smiled at Jin Zhen'er, and then used the scale beam to lift the heads of the other two people. Suddenly, the hall became full of people staring at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
It became a little embarrassing.
Zhou Yu felt amused when he saw how many people were staring at each other, but it wasn't just because of Zhou Yu's own bad taste that he did so.
Seeing that several people were silent, Zhou Yu also knew that it was almost time to break the silence.
"Perhaps it was a bit too polite for me to call you all here today. I might have frightened you."
In front of 'outsiders', Jian Shiyi still seems a bit like a queen. After all, she has been trained as a queen since she was a child. She is simple in nature but not stupid. She knows what to do and what to say when.
When Zhou Yu's words fell, Ji Shiyi also spoke softly with his own waxy voice: "Don't mind me, sisters. Your Majesty never likes the lifelessness in the palace. He is also worried that the sisters are getting married today and can only stay alone."
The palace center couldn't bear it, so he asked some sisters to come over."
Jin Zhen'er and the other three girls shook their heads quickly. Jin Zhen'er had a more outgoing personality. She shook her head slightly and said, "I don't dare. Today is the wedding of His Majesty and the Queen. Thank you for thinking about me, but I really don't want to worry about you."
If you should appear here, I'm afraid it will disturb His Majesty and the Queen's big day."
Piao Shiyi looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu said: "Today is not only the wedding between me and the queen, but also a happy day for you. The queen and I have known each other for many years and are not anxious about such a day. On the contrary, you are also in your respective homes.
They are all the proud daughters of heaven. After marrying into the palace and becoming the imperial concubine, I can only stay in the palace empty-handed on the first day. I feel really sorry."
"So I asked someone to send you here. I thought that if we all have dinner together today, I and the Queen would like to welcome you to become a part of this family."
Zhou Yu didn't care, he just picked up the jug and poured wine for several people. When they saw this, the few people immediately wanted to take the jug from Zhou Yu's hand without bothering.
But Zhou Yu disagreed: "Today there are only family members, no emperor and no queen. As your husband, I think it is natural and harmless to pour wine for your wife. I will make a note of it for the time being. Let's drink a cup of reunion wine together."
Harmony and happiness.”
Among the four girls, in addition to Jian Shiyi, the queen who had already been determined, and Jin Zhen'er, who seemed destined to enter the palace, the other two were daughters of the clan. Although they were clan members, they were actually distantly related.
The remaining one is the legitimate daughter of a prominent family in the west, surnamed Li, and like Jin Zhen'er, they all entered the palace as concubines.
Among the four, Jiao Shiyi did not feel restrained because he had known Zhou Yu for a long time. Although Jin Zhen'er was a Qihu person with a more rough and direct style, she still seemed a little cautious in front of Zhou Yu at this time, not to mention others.
Two people.
They each raised the wine glass with both hands, covered their faces with their hands and tilted their heads slightly before drinking.
After Jin Zhen'er put down the wine glass, she quickly took the jug and said, "I will pour wine for Your Majesty."
Zhou Yu glanced at Jin Zhen'er, smiled and said nothing, nodded and said to several people: "You are entering the palace today. I have specially prepared some gifts for you. Someone will deliver them to your respective palaces by then.
.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yu asked: "Before you entered the palace, did the nuns tell you what you should pay attention to?"
Concubine Li nodded lightly: "I told you."
The other two people also nodded.
Zhou Yu said: "That's all I've said, but I still want to remind you that there are many rules in the palace. Some innocuous things don't matter, but there are some things you know you shouldn't do, so don't do them, and don't go to places you shouldn't go.
You guys should also move around each other more often."
"I don't like the mess in the harem and I don't like intrigues. Since you have entered the palace and married me, we are a family. A family can only do what a family should do. Don't do unnecessary things or compete for favors.
There is no need and I won’t care. From now on, the queen will be in charge of the affairs of the harem, and the queen’s son will definitely be the prince, so don’t have too many thoughts in your mind."
"The queen will also tell you some taboo things, but you don't need to be on guard all the time in the palace. It doesn't matter if you are more free. I also know that when there are more people, there will be more right and wrong, but I still hope that everyone
To be able to live in harmony and love each other.”
Several people quickly said: "I know this."
Zhou Yu smiled: "Oh, okay, don't be so nervous. I didn't call you here to lecture you, I just reminded you. That's all for today. I will remind you of something important later. Eat first.
A few of us also drank some wine and chatted casually."
Zhou Yu also knew that the women in front of him were definitely more reserved. It was hard to say how many of them had remembered what he said. Jin Zhen'er was the more ambitious one. All he could say was that
