Chapter 590 Wedding Ceremony

The courtiers soon lost interest in Song Nan's matter of becoming the president. Recently, their eyes have focused on another thing, which is a major event in the Zhengde Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, which is the wedding ceremony of Zhengde.

Adhering to the rules of the queen's election from the people, the vigorous draft was carried out for several months, and by the end of October, the dust was basically settled. Ten women selected by thousands of women were determined to enter the harem as concubines, and the ministers of the court argued about who was the queen's choice. In fact, everyone knows Tao, the dispute is not about who is more suitable to be the queen. If the person she supports becomes the queen, the queen will naturally regard her confidant in the future; everyone is fighting for the future.

The embassy editor Xia Ru never thought that this glory would fall on the Xia family. The Xia family has been poor for several lifetimes. Although their ancestors are all scholars, they have never been more than five-grade officials. In their own life, they are just a six-grade editors. His wife is unsuccessible. She has been married for more than ten days and gave birth to a daughter. Compared with his ancestors, Xia Ru has a sense of frustration. However, it was her daughter who was silent all day, who was suddenly selected on the screen and became the appointed queen. Xia Ru almost vomited blood with excitement.

As for the process of how the Xia women became the queen, many people are also a little puzzled. Among the ten women selected, Miss Xia was not outstanding. In fact, when she participated in the selection, she was almost brushed down several times, but every time she reported the list of elimination, the director of ceremony, Zhang Yong, would order Xia With the addition of his name, he went all the way through the barrier and came to the end.

However, the final decision was the emperor's own choice, and no one could say anything. It is said that at that time, in the Qianqing Palace hall, the emperor and Princess Corning had a lot of questions to ask these girls. Only this Miss Xia answered decently and generously, which suddenly captured the emperor's heart.

Song Nan knows the inside story than anyone else. The reason why Xia became the queen was not that Zhang Yong was ordered by Kang Ning. In fact, the emperor didn't take it seriously when he chose it. He just respected Kang Ning's opinion and casually turned away to Miss Xia. I went there, and I didn't even look at Miss Xia.

When Song Nan sneaked into Shouning Palace to meet with the princess, when the two were wrapped in bed after making out, Kang Ning said that he was still indignant about this scene and worried about the emperor. In the future, it would be bad for Miss Xia. After that, Song Nan also secretly met the Xia woman and immediately understood why Zhengde was not interested in her.

This Xia girl is not angry, her breasts are flat, and her buttocks are not plump enough. Although her temperament is noble and her whole body is delicate, it is not the type that Zhengde likes. Zhengde likes the type of * with bones, big breasts and fat buttocks, and coquettish and crazy. Miss Xia is completely unmatched. For Zhengde, the so-called marriage of a queen is just one thing that must be done to comply with the opinions of the ministers, and it is not taken seriously at all.

In any case, after the queen's selection is finalized, it is the preparation before the wedding; the vassal kings from all over the world also rushed to the capital one after another, and many officials in other places also rushed to the capital one after another. When the emperor got married, they all came to celebrate and watch the ceremony; the capital also suddenly became lively.

In fact, the grand wedding of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is also roughly similar to the wedding ceremony performed by the people. It also has to go through the steps of acceptance, naming, Naji, acceptance, notification period, and welcoming. However, the difference is that many things do not need to be done by the emperor in person, but by close ministers and nobles to salute.

November 18 is the day of acceptance and naming set by Qin Tianjian. When he got up early in the morning, the ministers went to the Qianqing Palace to watch the ceremony. Under the guidance of the officials of Hongyu Temple, even Yang Tinhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and a group of princes and nobles should stand respectfully in the designated area. These officials of the Ceremonial Department of Hongyu Temple, Qintianjian, are usually unpopular at all, but by this time, they are a man with five hands and six fingers, showing their faces.

Two large tables are placed in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, covered with apricot satin tablecloths, "festions" on one table, and "ask for names" edicts on the other table. The gold and silver utensils and clothing gifts to be sent to Qian Shangshu's family are also displayed full of tables in broad daylight.

Song Nan stood in the ranks of ordinary ministers and watched the bustle. Song Nan saw this scene of the emperor's wedding for the first time in two lives, so it was also very novel. Soon after, Qin Tianjian shouted, "The auspicious time has come." After the curtains on both sides of the hall, the silk bamboo suddenly sounded. With the music, Zhengde walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace surrounded by a group of Jinyi Wei Dahan Generals and all the eunuchs of the inner court. After ascending to the seat, the princes and ministers saluted and worshipped.

Hongyu Templeqing stood on Danbi on the east side, holding the imperial edict and began to read it. After a lot of nonsense, he began to select tens of millions of Xia Ru's house to accept the ceremony. The first and second angels determined today will be responsible for all the matters related to the Xia family during the emperor's wedding, and also represent the emperor's identity.

"Your Excellency, at the suggestion of the emperor, the position of the angel is Prince Ning, who originated from the Beijing viewing ceremony, and the two deputy envoys are held by Xu, the Duke of Dingguo and Song Nan, Yongguan Hou Songnan respectively. Do you have any objections?" Hongnan's words fell, and even Songnan himself was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would call himself to be the deputy angel.

Immediately, there was a humane: "It is extremely appropriate for Prince Ning to be the official, and it is also appropriate for the deputy angel to choose the Duke of Zheng Guo, but the identity of the Marquis of Song is not suitable. He is the commander of Jinyiwei. During the emperor's wedding, he must be responsible for the public security inside and outside the city with the Beijing camp. Why is the ready-made British father-in-law Zhang? No?"

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "The British public is sick in bed and can't get up. He has been folded and thanked."

"That's not Song Nan's turn. Isn't the little father-in-law Zhang Lun the best candidate? Besides, there are many princes present, and the princes are also suitable.

Zhengde said unhappily, "It's just an angel who salutes on my behalf. Is there so much attention to it? I'm really about to be annoyed by you. I've been tossing around for a while. If I continue to make trouble, it's okay for me to hold this big wedding.

The ministers rolled their eyes on the ground. At this time, they actually said such words. The emperor was playing with the wedding.

Song Nan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed. This angel's position can be done by others. The emperor doesn't have to worry about this little thing; young master, the prince here is competent."

Zhengde frowned and said, "I think you are suitable. Can't I ask you to be an angel? However, there are so many objections again; I'm also puzzled. It's my big marriage, not your big wedding. What are you doing? This is my private business, isn't it?"

"The emperor's marriage is not only a private matter, but also a major event for the ministers and people in the world. The emperor's words are different." An old minister who still couldn't figure out the situation stalked himself.

Zhengde's face turned pale and was about to get up and leave his seat. At this time, one of them came out and said, "Your Excellency, Lord Song is very suitable. Why do you think it's not suitable? Lord Song is decent, and he is my important minister of the Ming Dynasty. Which one can't be the angel's position? You are also a fuss. As long as the emperor is happy, you can do it. However, you are not interested. Although I am far away in Jiangxi, I have heard that some people in the court are just nosy. Today is a teacher.

About 30 people spoke, with faces like crown jade, long jade standing, wearing golden python robes, wearing purple gold crowns on their heads, and a dignified and calm appearance. This is Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning.

This sentence was not light, which was equivalent to scolding him face to face. Song Nan immediately had a little good impression on Prince Ning. After what he said, everyone really felt that it was a big deal, but it was just a messenger of the emperor's wedding. What's the point of opposing it in order to oppose it?

Yang Tinghe came out with a smile and said, "What Prince Ning said is that Lord Song is naturally competent. It's getting late. The emperor asked for a decree to appoint the three angels to go to Xiafu to perform etiquette. Don't miss the good time."

Zhengde turned angry and turned into joy. At present, he ordered the man to read it, appoint the position of chief and deputy angel, and grant the imperial edict staff to the three angels. After that, the ministers bowed and Zhengde retreated to the hall.

The civil and military officials buzzed and talked about leaving the Qianqing Palace. Song Nan, Zhu Chenhao and Xu Guangzuo stayed. Zhu Chenhao ordered loudly: "Immediately sort out the honor guard and carry the gifts, play the drums, and go out of the palace to Xiafu."

A group of guards and eunuchs and handymen immediately became busy. Soon after, the vast red and green team blew out the palace gate and went to Nanxunfang, where Xiafu was located. Zhu Chenhao, Song Nan and Xu Guangzuo rode a tall horse with sticks and imperial edicts in front of the team. Along the way, firecrackers shook the sky, and the people on both sides of the street surrounded a sea of people to watch.
