Chapter 331 Ceremony

Jiang Changning moved into Qiyuan Palace on July 20th. Neither she nor Emperor Xuanzhi was in a hurry to move there, but the Queen Mother didn't think so.

She hinted to Jiang Changning several times that Tiancheng Palace was where the emperor lived, and as a queen, it was in line with the rules to live in Qiyuan Palace.

Jiang Changning doesn't care about moving, just move.

As for the Empress Dowager, she asked her to advise Emperor Xuanzhi to sit with other people in the harem more often, so as to avoid the rain and dew.

Sorry, she has tinnitus and can't hear.

Although the Queen Mother was annoyed by Jiang Changning's behavior of pretending to be deaf, she could not force Jiang Changning too hard.

She could only tell Emperor Xuanzhi: "The state affairs have been decided. You should draft some people to enter the palace and add more grandchildren to the palace."

"Mother, my son has just ascended the throne. It is not appropriate to be drafted at this time. It will make people mistakenly think that my son is addicted to women and is a king who is harming the country." Emperor Xuanzhi said.

"Well, then let's wait for some time before choosing." The Queen Mother still cares about her son's reputation.

Emperor Xuanzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Listen to your mother."

After sitting down, all the civil and military officials below knelt down and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live my queen, and my queen, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Emperor Xuanzhi said: "I have heard that the position of the universe and the power of love can overwhelm it. I am your concubine Jiang. You will always be blessed with Tianlu, and you will be blessed with great success. I am so grateful."

The couple climbed onto the high platform where there were dragon chairs and phoenix chairs. The chair with the dragon head carved on it was on the left, and the chair with the carved phoenix head on the right.

Relaxed, Jiang Changning took a deep breath, took the tea sent by Shucui, and drank it in one gulp, "Prepare some water, I want to take a bath."

Temporarily giving up the Queen Mother's idea of ​​allowing the draft to be drafted, Emperor Xuanzhi coaxed the Queen Mother a few more words and then left to go to Qinzheng Hall to review the memorial.

Amidst the continuous music, Jiang Changning got down from the phoenix chariot and walked step by step towards the man waiting for her on the jade steps. His excitement calmed down inexplicably.

Then, Emperor Xuanzhi handed the queen's treasure book, seals and other items one by one to Jiang Changning, "From today on, you are my queen, and you will share this thousands of miles of land with me."

His movements were very gentle, but Jiang Changning still woke up, "Did I wake you up? It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

The queen's court clothes are much heavier than those of the princess, and she will have to wear them for at least two hours today.

"Just don't feel tired after a while." Emperor Xuanzhi said with a smile.

As Emperor Xuanzhi announced: "All those who are exiled will be reduced by sixty miles, all those who are serving sentences will be reduced by one year, and the execution of all prisoners on death row will be postponed for one month!"

After the ceremony, there was a banquet for the queen. An hour later, Jiang Changning, who was laughing so hard that his facial muscles almost cramped, was finally able to leave the banquet and return to Qiyuan Palace.

Jiang Changning stretched out his hand and pinched his neck, "No, it's fine."

When a new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will be granted amnesty, but Emperor Xuanzhi said this in the ceremony, obviously to make Jiang Changning famous.

After bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, Jiang Changning let out a sigh of relief. Seeing how respectful the officials were, her conferential ceremony was probably of the highest standard.

"I can't sleep. I feel so excited when I think about today's conferment ceremony." Jiang Changning said excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Changning bowed slightly.

Jiang Changning thought of the mountains of good things in the Qiyuan Palace warehouse and frowned. Is the treasury empty?

"Quick, quick, help me take off the phoenix crown, my neck is about to break." Jiang Changning said eagerly as soon as he entered the palace.

This phoenix crown is really too heavy!

When Jiang Changning learned that Emperor Xuanzhi arranged this, he also said: "This is not good."

"Queen, we will see you soon."

Shun Zhaoyi and Zhao Concubine had separate ceremonies, while the other people's promotion ceremonies were held collectively, and they were as perfunctory as they wanted.

When will this lengthy ceremony end?

"Today is the grand ceremony for enthroning the queen. It is also my time to ascend the throne. The whole country will celebrate together, all the people will rejoice together, and I will grant amnesty to the whole world to bring blessings to the queen." Emperor Xuanzhi said.

The bright yellow phoenix chariot was parked outside Qiyuan Palace. The breeze blew by, and the auspicious clouds and golden bells hanging around the canopy made a crisp sound.

After approving for a while, Chang Youzhong came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Qintian Supervisor is here to see you."

Jiang Changning would not ask Emperor Xuanzhi whether it was yes or no.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, at Mao Shizheng, Emperor Xuanzhi got up to go to court.

Emperor Xuanzhi said with a bitter face: "My queen, the treasury is empty, so save what you can."

With their ten fingers intertwined, Emperor Xuanzhi led her to the jade steps, and the ceremony officer loudly said: "We worship God and start playing in the heaven."

By the time these people finished paying homage, it was already an hour later. Jiang Changning was sitting so stiff that his whole body felt numb.

The people below immediately shouted long live the emperor, and said that the emperor and queen are kind and will bless the world.

Fangju and others quickly helped her take off the phoenix crown.

Jiang Changning raised the corners of his lips and put his hand in his palm.

The autumn sunshine is still hot and brilliant, pouring on the glazed tiles, making it dazzling.

Emperor Xuanzhi looked at his wife walking over with a smile. When there were still three jade steps left, he took three steps down, and in Jiang Changning's surprised eyes, he extended his hand to her.

Fortunately, after sealing her off once, she would die if she had to come back a few more times.

Jiang Changning looked at himself in the bronze mirror and whispered: "If you want to wear the emperor's crown, you must bear its weight; if you want to hold the rose, you must bear its injury."

The date for the ceremony was set, and the Ministry of Rites became busy again.

"I won't mind it." Jiang Changning got up and washed up, had a simple breakfast with Emperor Xuanzhi, and sent Emperor Xuanzhi out.

The ceremony for the conferment of the queen was extremely grand, but the ceremony for the other concubines in the harem the next day was much simpler.

The moment the phoenix crown was put on, Jiang Changning felt as if he was being dwarfed by three points.

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" Fang Ju asked.

Well, the emperor said that the treasury is empty. Of course, the queen must listen to him as to what she can do.

With the help of the palace maid, Jiang Changning got on the phoenix chariot and headed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The phoenix robes were layered one after another, covering her back with sweat.

On this day, the couple went to Ciren Palace to have lunch with the Queen Mother.

Jiang Changning arched his eyebrows and said with a smile, "See you later."

"Get up, play music." the ceremony official said in a loud voice.

Under the service of the palace ladies, Jiang Changning put on a complicated and luxurious phoenix robe, and put on a phoenix crown that symbolized identity and status.

The music sounded again, solemn and solemn.

The Qintian Supervisor reported: "The tenth day of August is the most auspicious day in the past six months. The purple is bright, the stars are bright, and the phoenix bird has its head held high. It is the most suitable day to hold the Queen's Conferment Ceremony."

When the music stops, the officials worship each other individually according to their rank, and then the married women do it again.

"Let him come in." Emperor Xuanzhi said.

The Queen Mother talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival, "We have just held a few grand ceremonies, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also tired, so there will be no big feast on the Mid-Autumn Festival. We will bring Yin Yao and Mi'er into the palace, and let's enjoy the moon together. What do you think?"

"

Jiang Changning's eyes lit up. What the Queen Mother said was exactly what she thought, but it still depends on Emperor Xuanzhi's intention.

Emperor Xuanzhi was a little surprised by what the Queen Mother said. After all, the Queen Mother was very pompous.

Although he didn’t know why the Queen Mother didn’t want to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Emperor Xuanzhi still obeyed and said: “Listen to the Queen Mother.”
