Chapter 1076: The Crowning and Wedding (3)

For a moment, the people in the room were in a mess. Some put a phoenix crown on Caiwei, some put a shawl on her, some stuffed apples into her hands, and some put makeup on her face. They were busy and happy...

Outside the gate, Mu Zhongqing, who had just heard that the new emperor was coming to welcome the bride, and his colleagues who came to see him off were waiting outside the gate, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

At this time, although Mu Zhongqing felt the loss and reluctance of marrying his daughter, he was also a little happy that the emperor valued his daughter so much!

The colleagues in the Hanlin Academy looked at the father-in-law in awe, wondering how great the future of this father-in-law would be?

Just as they were guessing, a team of eunuchs came over panting and clapped their hands, which reminded everyone that the emperor was coming. Everyone immediately stood up and prepared to welcome him. Zhang Bo was sent inside again to urge the queen to come out quickly.

After a while, a sound of drums and music came faintly. It was vaguely identifiable that it was the song "Feng Qiu Huang" used by the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty to marry their queens. In the melodious music, there was also the heavy and sonorous sound of horse hooves.

It turned out that the new emperor was personally welcoming the bride. In order to ensure the personal safety of the new emperor, the Ministry of War sent 8,000 cavalrymen to accompany him. The 8,000 cavalrymen surrounded the city with copper walls and iron walls, and the emperor's dragon chariot was guarded by the new emperor's wedding team. They came to the Mu family together.

"Your Highness, long live the emperor!"

At the door, Mu Zhongqing led his colleagues who came to see the bride to kneel down and pay homage to the new emperor.

"My dear ministers!"

A clear voice came from the dragon chariot. Nangong Yi, wearing a bright red wedding gown, sat behind the pearl curtain, staring at the door of the gate without blinking.

At this time, Caiwei had dressed up. At the urging of the eunuch, she was supported by Huanqiu and Chunliu and walked out slowly.

Behind her, four maids and eunuchs and palace maids sent by the palace followed closely. The ladies who came to see her off followed the eunuchs and palace maids, and went out all the way...

Outside the palace gate, the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" had been played. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies held the imperial edict and waited for the queen to come out. After Caiwei came out, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies immediately unfolded the imperial edict and shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived, Mu Caiwei accepts the edict!"

Immediately, a palace maid brought a cushion, and Caiwei knelt down in the direction of the dragon chariot, and everyone knelt down with her.

"Your servant Mu Caiwei accepts the decree!"

Although Caiwei disliked the ancient ritual of kneeling at every turn, she could not refuse this ceremony of enthronement, and she could not make any mistakes. Even if she hated the ritual of kneeling in her heart, she had to pretend to be virtuous, gentle and respectful at this moment.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: I believe that the Way originates from Heaven and Earth, and that the beginning of the journey must rely on the success of the Earth. The transformation of the family and the state, and the external governance of the country are always dependent on the internal duties. Since it is in accordance with the will and is a match, it is appropriate to take the right position and occupy the dignity. I ask you, the Mu family, to be gentle and kind, gentle and kind, and have all the six virtues, and have long been known for your virtue. You have spread the four teachings in the palace and are worthy of being the mother of the world. I have been ordered by the Empress Dowager to use the imperial seal to establish you as the Empress, and you are one with me. You will inherit the ancestral temple, be the mother of the country, and rule the six palaces. As long as the country does not change, the six palaces will never accept concubines. I respect you..."

According to the rules, after the eunuch reads the imperial edict, everyone should kowtow to thank him and shout: "Long live, long live, long live!"

However, there was silence at the gate of the Mu Mansion. Everyone was completely stunned. What? Did I hear it right just now? The emperor seemed to say, "As long as the country does not change, the six palaces will never accept concubines." How is this possible?

Looking around the Great Jin State, there was no emperor who only married one woman in his whole life. Not to mention the emperor, even in ordinary wealthy families, which man did not have three wives and four concubines? It was truly unheard of for someone to only stay with one woman for his whole life. Unless the family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat, even if it was a peasant family, they would still think about marrying concubines if they had enough rice.
