Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 492 Remember the He Family's Grace
The grand wedding of Emperor Wanli, the whole country celebrates together!

Shuntian Mansion sent government servants a long time ago to force all households and shops in the capital to hang at least five red silk ribbons one foot wide and six feet long.

Shuntian Mansion even posted a notice: Anyone who buys firecrackers for firecrackers and sets them off on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month will be subsidized by half of the money from the treasury.

In doing so, Shuntian Mansion is obviously suspected of forcing apportionment.But the New Deal has been implemented for six years, and the Ming Dynasty has become rich and strong.People's lives are getting better day by day.Which commoner would not want to celebrate the emperor's wedding day as a festival?
The folks are so strong, so it goes without saying in the palace!All the eunuchs and maids put on red clothes representing festive occasions.The red palace lanterns hung high.Although it was midwinter, the gardeners of the Inner Palace Supervisor used ingenious means to decorate the palace with countless bright red rose flowers.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, at night, Yongshou Palace.

In front of Emperor Wanli, there were thousands of congratulatory memorials from officials.Each memorial is a red cover, tied with a red string.

Emperor Wanli stared blankly at the hill of memorials.There was no trace of joy that a bridegroom official should have.

Although Emperor Wanli was the Son of Heaven, he was still a boy of sixteen or seventeen.Sixteen or seventeen years old is the age of rebellion.In the eyes of teenagers at this age, anything their parents choose for them must be bad.

Zhang Jing said to Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, let's go to bed early. Before dawn tomorrow, you will go to the Taimiao to pay homage to your ancestors. The wedding ceremony will be held in the morning and the queen canonization ceremony will be held in the afternoon. In the evening Banquet the ministers."

Emperor Wanli raised his head: "You said, after my wedding, will Mr. Zhang and his mother return the power that belongs to me to me?"

Zhang Jing sighed: "Alas. According to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, the emperor can govern after his marriage. But Empress Dowager Li and Mr. Zhang have no intention of letting you govern after marriage. It is always a good thing to say. At least, you have the qualifications to be in charge of the government. In the future, it will be justifiable to take over Mr. Zhang's power."

Emperor Wanli suddenly asked Zhang Jing: "Have you seen Sister Wang Xi?"

Zhang Jing nodded: "I've seen it once. I went to Kunning Palace on business a month and a half ago, and it happened that a few empress candidates were chatting with Empress Dowager Li in Kunning Palace."

Emperor Wanli asked: "What does she look like?"

Naturally, Zhang Jing couldn't speak well of Sister Wang Xi.Who doesn't know that behind Sister Wang Xi stands He Liu, and behind He Liu stands Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng?Feng, Zhang, and He are all enemies in Zhang Jing's eyes.

Zhang Jing can't say that Wang Xi's sister is not good.After all, he was just a servant of Emperor Wanli.As for Sister Wang Xi, she will become Emperor Wanli's bedside person tomorrow.Although Zhang Jing has not read a few books, he also knows the truth that estrangement cannot be close.

Seeing Zhang Jing's silence, Emperor Wanli said angrily, "I'm asking you something! What does Sister Wang Xi look like?"

Zhang Jing said perfunctorily: "Sister Wang Xi is thirteen years old. Although she is a beauty, she has never grown up. She has a childish face."

Emperor Wanli sighed: "Oh. I don't know what the queen mother thinks, let a 13-year-old girl be the mother of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Jing was amused: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you not the same as the emperor of Ming Dynasty at the age of ten?

It's dawn, in Sister Wang Xi's bedroom.

Bai Xiaoyan knelt down on her knees and helped Sister Wang Xi comb her wedding bun.Then he inserted the green phoenix hairpin into the bun.In the end, Bai Xiaoyan held the Queen's crown of six dragons and three phoenixes in both hands, and put it on Sister Wang Xi's head.

After washing and dressing up, Sister Wang Xi only waited for an hour before the phoenix chariot from the palace came to pick her up.

Bai Xiaoyan kowtowed on the ground and said: "Empress Empress, this slave and servant will leave."

Sister Wang Xi is obviously not used to being called "Empress Empress", let alone Bai Xiaoyan's respectful attitude.

Sister Wang Xi said: "Sixth Aunt, you don't have to do this."

Bai Xiaoyan put her head on the ground and replied: "I want to report to the empress. From the moment you put on the green phoenix hairpin and the six dragons and three phoenixes gift crown. You are the mother of the Ming Dynasty! In front of the mother, I am just a lowly slave. "

Sister Wang Xi sighed: "Oh, that's fine. You step back first."

Bai Xiaoyan bowed her body according to the etiquette in the palace, and retreated to the door with her back facing the door in small steps.When she reached the door, she turned and left.

After Bai Xiaoyan left, Wang Ba walked into his daughter's bedroom.

After Wang Ba saw his daughter, he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times: "My lord, Uncle Yongnian, Wang Wei, I pay my respects to the empress, Qiansui, Qianqian."

Sister Wang Xi hurriedly said, "Father, what are you doing?"

Wang Ba knelt down and replied: "I'm going to the empress. The mother of the Ming Dynasty has only one father. That is the first emperor! I'm just your slave!"

Sister Wang Xi's eyes were filled with tears.She said angrily: "Father, there are only you and my father and daughter in the bedroom! You really don't have to be like this! Get up quickly."

Wang Ba didn't get up.He knelt and said, "Before the empress enters the palace, I have a few words to tell you."

Sister Wang Xi said: "Father, no, Uncle Yongnian, please tell me."

Wang Badao: "After the empress enters the palace, she must respect the queen mothers of the two palaces, and treat the subjects of the world with charity and benevolence."

Sister Wang Xi's tears welled up in her eyes.She cried and nodded: "I remember what Uncle Yongnian said."

Wang Ba said again: "The empress, He Liu's family has shown great kindness to the Wang family. Please treat the He family well from now on, the empress."

Sister Wang Xi certainly knew in her heart that she was able to become the mother of the Ming Dynasty, all thanks to the help of her sixth uncle and sixth aunt.If it weren't for them, where would he be able to wear the six dragons and three phoenix crowns?
Sister Wang Xi nodded: "Uncle Six, no, He Liu's family. For me, oh no, I have a great kindness for this palace! Naturally, this palace will not treat the He family badly in the future."

Wang Ba nodded in relief: "Empress Empress, there is nothing to do, I will leave."

Sister Wang Xi told her father in a sad tone: "Oh, Uncle Yongnian, please step down."
