Chapter 8 Chapter Four: The Great Wedding of the Son of Heaven

On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Liu Che was intoxicated, and he hugged Gillian tightly.Because Gillian is truly a loving couple to him, without Gillian mother and son, it would be impossible for him, the tenth prince, to be the son. "The eldest princess is here." The Queen Mother was talking with Emperor Wu Liu Che, who had just ascended the throne, when she heard the voice and rushed out of the house.The eldest princess got down from the sedan chair with Gillian, who was dressed like a fairy. "Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." The Eldest Princess and Gillian saluted together.

"Sister, please get up quickly." The Queen Mother supported the eldest princess with both hands. The eldest princess looked at Liu Che, and saw that he had just turned sixteen and was already handsome and mighty, she was very happy. When Gillian saw Liu Che, her cheeks flushed and she hurriedly lowered her head. When Liu Che saw Gillian, who was full of coquettishness and coquettishness, he stared at her intently. Ever since the two had vowed to hide their beauty in the golden house, they were both embarrassed to meet each other. The eldest princess and the queen mother saw it, and they looked at each other and smiled.

The eldest princess took advantage of the situation and said: "Queen Mother, I see, let's quickly fulfill the love between the dragon and the phoenix, and marry the emperor as soon as possible, so that the emperor can govern himself!" Big marriage and personal governance, both of these words speak to the hearts of the Queen Mother and Liu Che. The Queen Mother cannot live without the influence of the eldest princess. The queen mother immediately agreed: "I also want to let them get married early, and make Gillian a queen, that is, the queen mother..." "I'm with the Empress Dowager."

Liu Che took Gillian's hand and happily ran to the garden... They rushed to the pavilion, Liu Che pulled Gillian up, and Gillian snuggled into Liu Che's arms. They looked down at the majestic palace, panting heavily with excitement. Liu Che looked at A-Jiao and said, "A-Jiao, you are the symbol of prosperity and wealth. I like glory and wealth. I want to make you a queen." "Che, really?" "Of course it's true. Now that I'm the Son of Heaven, what I say can still be false." "Che, do you only like me?" "Of course, I only love you."

"Then...those Sannomiya Sixth Courtyard..." "I don't want Sangong and Sixth Court, I just want you." "Toru, you are... so kind. Can you swear?" "Of course." Liu Che looked up at the blue sky, "If I break my oath, I will be struck dead by lightning." "Ah! Don't talk nonsense." Gillian quickly covered Liu Che's mouth with her hand. The two hug each other tightly... The Empress Dowager Dou in Changle Palace was talking with Prime Minister Dou Ying. The Empress Dowager said: "Dou Ying, although the emperor has ascended the throne, he is young after all. You are the prime minister, so you have to pay more attention to everything. The most important thing is to let him listen to us. Does he have any hobbies recently?"

"The empress dowager, the emperor has been looking at Confucius recently, saying that there is something to be done." "No, let him learn from Huang Lao, tell him to recite. We must have no desires and no actions. You see, since Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, we have no desires and no actions. Isn't it good, everyone is well-clothed." "Yes. Empress Dowager Shengming... Oh, and also, he seems to be very interested in Dong Zhongshu's book, and said he would summon him." "Dong Zhongshu, is that the Confucian scholar who read "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan"? That man is very knowledgeable, but he opposes Huang Lao and cannot let the emperor get close to him."

"Nephew understands." While the two were talking, the eldest princess came in, "Mother, the child has something to ask the mother." "What are you asking me for? Tell me, when will the queen mother not agree to you?" Seeing that Dou Ying was there, the eldest princess said, "It just so happens that the prime minister is also here. Let's discuss it. I think the emperor is not young anymore. It's time for him to be conferred the title of empress, and it's time for him to fulfill his vow of hiding the beauty in the golden house." Empress Dowager Dou smiled and said, "What should I ask for? Only A-Jiao is worthy of the empress. Besides, asking A-Jiao to tie up the emperor will give him peace of mind, lest he have to do anything."

"Ah, queen mother, you agree, my good queen mother. How about you, prime minister?" The eldest princess stared at the prime minister and asked. Dou Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Then let the Empress Dowager set an auspicious date!" The Empress Dowager said: "Marriage is a day of great joy, let Taishi Company Ma Tan occupy an auspicious day!" "Yes. I'll send someone to look for him right away." Dou Ying said. Queen Dowager Dou snorted, thinking, all this is for my precious daughter, otherwise... .On the day of the emperor's wedding, the Weiyang Palace was newly decorated. The front and back of the hall were covered with red carpets, colorful flags, red lanterns, and flowers were placed.Chang'an Avenue was full of joy, flowers were placed in front of every house, and people put on costumes.

The drums sounded, and the bride's phoenix chariot set off from Changle Palace. Under the protection of the royal guards, it followed the guard of honor and the drums, and passed through the bustling Chang'an Street to Weiyang Palace. The streets were crowded with watching people. Emperor Wu Liu Che and all civil and military officials were waiting in front of the main hall. When the auspicious time came, the drums and music were played, and the bride's phoenix chariot entered the palace from the main gate. The bride, wearing a phoenix crown and a xiapei, was helped off the phoenix chariot.Wearing a crown and a royal robe, Emperor Wu held a big red hydrangea on his chest, and led the bride up the nine steps slowly amidst the sound of firecrackers... After reaching the steps, the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live , long live!"

"Young lady, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!" In the middle of the stage sits the Empress Dowager Dou, next to the Queen Mother, and next to the Queen Mother sits the Eldest Princess. The waiter shouted: "Bow to heaven and earth!" The bride and groom kowtow to heaven and earth. "Second obeisance to the high hall!" The groom and the bride kowtow to the Empress Dowager Dou, the Queen Mother and the eldest princess. "Husband and wife pay their respects." After kowtowing to each other, the groom and the bride sit on both sides of the Empress Dowager Dou, the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess respectively.

"Certificate. Perform the Queen's Canonization Ceremony." Prime Minister Dou Ying read out the book: The prime minister handed the book to Chen Ajiao, and after receiving it, Chen Ajiao kowtowed to Emperor Wu with the support of the servants, and then knelt and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Dou, the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess.Then sit down. All the ministers shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" "Young lady, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!" The servant announced the emperor's will: amnesty for the world, and a three-day palace banquet. At dusk, red candles were shining brightly in the bridal chamber, and Gillian was waiting for Emperor Wu to return from a banquet.A-Jiao found that there were no maids in the palace, and they were all servants. She felt very comforted, and felt deeply that Emperor Wu loved her exclusively. She sat there sweetly, waiting for Emperor Wu to come and take off her hijab. Emperor Wu was finally helped in by two servants, followed by the eldest princess and the queen mother. "The groom uncovers the bride's red hijab." said the eldest princess. Emperor Wu, who was half drunk, blushed and blushed even more after hearing what the eldest princess said. He excitedly lifted off the bride's red kerchief, revealing Gillian's blushing face. Everyone praised: "The bride is so beautiful!" .” Under the auspices of the eldest princess, the bride and groom drank a cup of wine and ate hen cakes. The eldest princess herself was more impatient than her daughter Gillian, so she announced: "Okay, okay, it's getting late, let the bride and groom make out. Let's all get out!" "Yeah, let's all get out!" After the people left, only the two of them were left in the bridal chamber. Liu Che stared blankly at Gillian. Gillian was indeed beautiful today, wearing the most precious phoenix crown in the world, the most magnificent robe of pearls and jade in the world, and the most precious embroidered shoes in the world.Seeing Liu Che staring at her, A-Jiao couldn't help but blushed and lowered her head. She said softly, "Che, you really keep your word." "What credit." "The golden house hides the beauty." "You are not joking." "Really?" Gillian stepped forward and snuggled into Liu Che's arms. "You are already a queen, can you still have fakes?" "Forever queen?" "Of course forever, but I have to give birth to a few princes." Gillian pressed her face to Liu Che affectionately. Liu Che was intoxicated, he hugged Gillian tightly, because Gillian was really a loving couple to him, without Gillian mother and daughter he could not be the emperor, he would love Gillian forever.
