"It's no big deal. You can recover after a while." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
"That's good!" The emperor nodded.
He didn't need the Queen Mother to tell him that Concubine De had had a miscarriage.
He asked on purpose.
"You kid... If you had cared a little bit about Jing Yun before, she wouldn't have..." The Queen Mother wanted to say that Concubine De wouldn't have had an affair with King Wei.
You know, Concubine De has been very fond of the emperor since she was young. Even if she knew that the emperor was in poor health and would not live for a few years, she still clamored to enter the palace and marry him, even if she would become a widow in the future.
The Queen Mother only had one child, King Wei, and she loved Concubine De, who had always been in the palace to accompany her since childhood.
At first, she did not agree with her niece becoming a concubine to the emperor, but she was willing to die in order to accompany the emperor in the palace, so the queen mother agreed to her.
Who would have thought that so many changes would happen later.
What an injustice!
"My body has been disabled for a long time, so I won't delay cousin Jingyun!" The emperor said and sighed: "When cousin Jingyun wanted to enter the palace, I tried my best to stop her. Later, my mother decreed that she should be made a concubine and welcome her. After entering the palace, in fact, with cousin Jing Yun's temperament, the palace is not suitable for her. She should find a husband who treats her wholeheartedly and live a peaceful life. "
The Queen Mother thought so at the beginning. She even planned to make her niece the princess and choose a marriage for her. Unfortunately, she didn't appreciate it and jumped into the fire pit. Who can blame her?
"You don't want to delay Jing Yun, but you want to delay Meng Shu. What's the reason?" the queen mother suddenly asked.
The emperor coughed slightly when he heard the words, and changed the subject with a smile: "My mother has been very energetic these days, and she looks very young. It can be seen that Bai Yuanze still has some abilities."
"Of course!" The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Bai Yuanze is not only excellent in medical skills, but also powerful in alchemy. The Ai family ate the elixirs he refined. Now they eat well and sleep well. Not only are their qi and blood nourished extremely well, He is also much younger. The doctors from the imperial hospital checked Aijia’s pulse and said that Aijia is getting healthier. "
The Queen Mother suddenly frowned as she spoke: "It's just that Emperor, you don't trust Bai Yuanze and refuse to use the elixir he refined. If you take the longevity elixir he refined for you, it might have miraculous effects."
The emperor shook his head when he heard this: "Thank you, Queen Mother. I have taken a lot of pills in the past few years, but they are of no use, so I won't take them anymore."
The Queen Mother no longer tried to persuade him.
Anyway, the emperor has already taken the Guiyuan Pill.
Bai Yuanze also asked the emperor to have a safe pulse yesterday, saying that with the emperor's current condition, he should be at his peak in three months.
But then again, it's quite difficult for him to be in such a broken body.
The Queen Mother remembered clearly that the Emperor took the Guiyuan Pill in early September.
She originally thought that the emperor would last for three months at most before returning to the west.
As a result, the Western month passed and the man was still alive and well.
Bai Yuanze said that all this was due to the exercises that the emperor had previously practiced to strengthen and recuperate the body.
Whenever the Queen Mother thought of this, she was full of resentment towards the late Emperor.
He clearly knew that the emperor was not born between the two of them, but still asked him to practice the royal secret technique. Wasn't this trying to undermine her?
Of course, if the late emperor had listened to her and deposed the crown prince ten years ago and established King Wei as the crown prince, then all of this would not have happened.
"What is the Queen Mother thinking about?" The emperor asked with a smile when he saw that the Queen Mother was a little dazed.
"Nothing!" The Queen Mother waved her hand and said to the maid beside her: "Send someone to invite King Wei!"
The Queen Mother did not want King Wei to stay with Concubine De for too long and cause criticism.
"Yes!" The palace maid responded and hurried away.
……
After the beginning of spring, Meng Shu felt that time passed very quickly.
She had just made an appointment with the three sisters in the house to stay in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing for a few days to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery. Not long after returning to the capital, her wedding day was approaching.
The emperor has not come to the British government these days.
Because Meng Shu's eldest brother told the emperor that according to folk rules, men and women cannot meet each other seven days before the wedding. Otherwise, it will be unlucky and the future life may not go smoothly.
Although the emperor felt that Meng Yanxing said this because he did not want him to pester Meng Shu, but... he would rather believe it than not.
Since there are such rules among the people, he will follow the customs.
On the sixth day of March, Meng Shu was woken up by the maid next to him before dawn.
After a simple breakfast, she began to wash up, change clothes, and put on makeup.
In folk weddings, although the bride wakes up very early, she leaves the palace in the afternoon.
Because the auspicious time for a wedding is at dusk, so... usually the worship service is held around the You hour.
In winter, when it gets dark earlier, the time for worship will naturally be earlier. In spring, when it gets dark later, the auspicious time for worship will naturally be later.
But it was different in the palace.
When the emperor canonizes the queen, he must hold a ceremony to establish the queen.
It is different from getting married in a private church.
Meng Shu not only had to enter the palace early today to accompany the emperor to worship heaven and ancestors, but also to accept the congratulations from all the civil and military officials.
She had to kneel down outside the Qian'an Hall to receive the official decree of establishing the queen, and receive the queen's golden book. Only in this way could the ceremony be completed.
There is no etiquette for two people to worship heaven and earth together.
The emperor is the emperor, he is the emperor, and he is naturally different from ordinary people.
Meng Shu had already memorized everything she needed to do today. The nuns had rehearsed it several times with her in the past two days, so she knew all the etiquette rules by heart.
The queen's wedding auspicious dress was very heavy, and her crown was even heavier. Even though Meng Shu was strong and strong, the emperor found a chance to let Meng Shu rest for a while, but she still felt very tired, especially her neck, which was stiff, sore and uncomfortable. Incredible.
The emperor was not much better.
The auspicious clothes he wore for today's wedding and the golden crown on his head were also very heavy, but slightly better than Meng Shu's.
This made Meng Shu sigh.
Without good health, it is quite difficult to be a good emperor and queen.
No wonder not many emperors in the past dynasties lived long.
As for the queen? There are also a lot of people who are dying at a young age.
It seems that after entering the palace, she must not slack off, and she must practice her martial arts when she should.
At Shen Shi, Meng Shu and the emperor completed most of the process and entered the Qian'an Hall together.
The emperor sat high on the dragon throne.
Meng Shu knelt down to receive the imperial edict, gold book, and gold treasure.
The emperor felt sorry for his daughter-in-law. As soon as Meng Shu got the things, he reached out and helped her up.
When the civil and military officials of the court saw this, many people's eyes widened, but immediately after being prompted by the etiquette officer, they knelt down to congratulate the emperor and empress on their wedding, and gave Meng Shu three kneels and nine kowtows.
According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, only when the emperor ascends the throne and marries the empress, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty need to perform such a grand ceremony.
After the ceremony was completed, the emperor and Meng Shu both returned to Fengyi Palace.
Fengyi Palace is not only the queen's bedroom, but also the wedding room for the emperor and empress' wedding.
