Chapter 189 Marry a virtuous wife!

While the main hall was bustling with activity, preparing to welcome the bride, the Ancestral Temple was quiet and sacred.

One of today's protagonists, Zhu Houzhao, was kneeling on a futon in formal attire, quietly reciting the Filial Piety Sutra.

Beside him, Zhu Youtang, who had been promoted to the Supreme Emperor, softly explained some words.

Although Lao Zhu and others were there, it was a bit too much to come to the Ancestral Temple.

But Lao Zhu didn't care. He even went to the Ancestral Temple to have a look in person and expressed that he was very satisfied.

"Zhao'er, you will be an adult after you get married. Don't act like a child again."

"This child has followed you from scratch for thousands of years. I don't want you to be like me, loving only one person in your life. I also hope you won't wrong this child."

"This child's mother is no longer alive, and the country has been handed over to you. You will be her only support from now on. We old Zhu family men are not the kind of people who want to burn bridges when crossing rivers."

"If your child trusts you so much, we must let her know that her trust is not wrong."

"In the future, if dad hears that you want to change the queen, or if you have wronged this child, dad will be the first to forgive you, you know?"

Zhu Houzhao listened carefully to his father's serious explanation, and finally nodded solemnly.

"Squeak!"

The closed door of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was pushed open, and Dahuang stepped in.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the sedan chair has arrived!"

Zhu Youtang nodded, faced the ancestors behind him, kowtowed.

"My ancestors, today I, Ding Houzhao, the son of the Zhu family, married a wife and had a baby..."

After explaining to the ancestors the reason for coming today, Zhu Youtang asked Zhu Houzhao to kowtow incense, the father and son left the Ancestral Temple and went to the main hall to prepare.

The main hall is ready.

Outside the main hall, officials regardless of dynasty, Wen Dong and Wu Xi stood on both sides.

Others stood on both sides of the hall, waiting quietly to watch the ceremony.

As a witness to the wedding, the First Emperor saw Zhu Houzhao and the others walking in, whispered a few words to Lao Zhu next to him, walked to the microphone specially prepared for him next to him, and announced with a smile:
"The auspicious time has arrived and the wedding ceremony begins!"

woo woo woo...

After the First Emperor finished speaking, dozens of strong men raised large horns tied with red silk and puffed their cheeks and started blowing.

The drum music that had been prepared long ago started playing solemn music.

"Crunch... crunch..."

Door after door slowly opened from Fengtian Palace to Zhengyang Gate outside the imperial city.

The gate of the imperial city was wide open, and the sedan chair passed through the main entrance. Only the queen and the crown princess had such treatment in the palace.

It's like when a certain demon queen persecuted a certain queen, the queen said, I brought you in from the front door, you are not qualified to do anything.

But the Demon Queen was so angry that although her status was extremely noble, she could not get rid of her junior status, and it became a lifelong pain in the Demon Queen's heart.

"Ta Tata..."

There was a sound of footsteps, Xu Da stepped in, saluted Zhu Houzhao who was sitting in the seat, and said: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to come back to receive the bride. The daughter of the flower is waiting outside the palace."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, saluted to Lao Zhu, his father and others, and strode down the steps.

Zhu Houzhao promised Cai Die that he would marry her in person.

Zhu Houzhao originally planned to go there in person, but was rejected by several elders and ministers.

Later, after discussion, the two parties decided that when they arrived at the main entrance of the palace, Zhu Houzhao went to welcome the bride.

This not only fulfilled the promise, but also did not lose the status of the emperor. It also showed that the emperor valued the queen.

Under the salute of the guards all the way, Zhu Houzhao arrived at Zhengyang Gate.

"See Your Majesty!"

Countless people who came to watch the ceremony burst into deafening cheers when they saw the emperor walking out in person.

Cai Die, who was sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly felt her heart beating nervously.Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved around, causing another round of cheers in an instant.

Walking to the sedan, Zhu Houzhao took over Zhu Xiongying's horse. With Zhu Xiongying smiling and winking, he got on the horse and led the sedan to welcome the bride to the palace.

The suspended live camera captured this scene, transmitted it to thousands of households, and preserved it forever.

On the Ming side of the New World, they had often seen Zhu Houzhao's appearance on various devices, so they were not too excited.

As for the local Ming Dynasty people, looking at Zhu Houzhao on the projection screen, they were all amazed, sighing that the emperor turned out to look exactly like them.

The wedding team, with blessings and cheers from low-level officials on both sides, slowly walked towards the interior of the palace.

As we walked further inside, the size of the team slowly decreased. By the time they reached the main hall, only the guard of honor and the sedan chair team were left.

"I'm coming……"

Zhu Xiongying, who ran back early, ignored his father's glare and cheered loudly.

"A big day should be lively. If there are rigid rules, how can there be joy?"

Lao Zhu patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhu Biao quickly nodded in agreement.

After getting off his horse, Zhu Houzhao stood and waited.

On the other side of the sedan chair, several ladies of Gaoming helped Cai Die out, came to Zhu Houzhao's side, and handed the big red flower into their hands.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the colorful butterfly covered with a red hijab, holding the other end of the big red flower tightly with her white and tender hands, with a happy smile on her face.

The rules of the emperor's marriage are very complicated. Under the singing ceremony of the First Emperor, the two people respectfully bowed to heaven and earth.

As the First Emperor called out the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao and Cai Die officially became a legal couple.

Under the cheers of countless people, Zhu Houzhao led Cai Die to the side hall next to him to complete the next ceremony.

Of course, instead of rushing to the wedding ceremony, the couple will have to accept the worship of civil and military ministers and watch a military parade specially prepared by the military.

If you want a bridal chamber, you have to wait.

The emperor naturally did not behave like making trouble in the bridal chamber, but Zhu Xiongying and others naturally wanted to watch the excitement and couldn't stop it.

They also included the First Emperor's son, Fusu and others.

They are about the same age as Zhu Houzhao, and their father makes them closer to Zhu Houzhao.

When Zhu Houzhao took Cai Die to the side hall to hold the following ceremony, these guys followed him noisily.

When Lao Zhu and others saw it, they just smiled and did not stop him.

A group of guys entered the side hall noisily and stood outside the door of the inner room, stretching their heads to look in.

"Hurry up, lift your hijab!"

"It's not that urgent. There are other rituals. Lifting the hijab seems to be the last one."

"No, the last one is to enter the bridal chamber."

"Nonsense, the last ceremony is to drink Hexin wine."

Before Zhu Houzhao could do anything, the guys watching the fun at the door started arguing among themselves.

What Zhu Houzhao heard was a black line. He turned and shouted at these guys: "Shut up if you want to watch. If you make more noise, I will kick you out."

"Hahaha……"

"Shut up, shut up..."

After glaring at these guys, Zhu Houzhao continued with the next ceremony under the guidance of Li Niang.

There are hair cutting and wrapping, and some messy rituals.

After working hard for more than half an hour, we finally got to the hijab-lifting part that the guys outside were most looking forward to.

Zhu Houzhao held a jade Ruyi in his hand. Under the expectant gaze of the guys outside with their toes raised, he lifted the dragon and phoenix hijab, revealing Cai Die with a shy expression below.
