After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Chapter 573: Queen's Crowning Ceremony

After the morning court session that day, He Yuanyao and Qi Linglang both walked up to Shi Wanyue and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so silent and don't reveal anything?"

"You didn't say anything either. You're so tight-lipped." He Yuanyao said in a low voice.

"Don't ask me about this." Shi Wanyue said that Wen Zhimiao wanted to give them a scare.

"Forget it, it's your turn now." He Yuanyao said with a smile.

Shi Guanchao was waiting for Shi Wanyue not far away. Shi Wanyue said a few words to them, then said goodbye and left.

Wen Zhimiao returned to Zhangtai Palace happily. Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were waiting for her and Yun Jiuzhao to have dinner.

The earlier she left, the earlier she came back.

"Are you happy?" Su Qingluo asked when he saw her.

Wen Zhimiao chuckled: "Happy."

"Okay, stop being silly and change your clothes to eat." After all, court robes are heavy and inconvenient for daily movements, and eating in them is even more troublesome.

Not long after, Yun Jiuzhao also came back. She came back after changing her clothes. It was more troublesome for Wen Zhimiao to change her clothes, so the two of them came back at almost the same time.

The wedding date of June next year is still a long time away, but in the eyes of those who are preparing for it, it is not too long either.

After all, there is still a lot of planning and preparation to do. This time, more than just the Huyan Kingdom will come to Emperor Tianqi's wedding. Beirong, Huyan and many small countries to the west will also come to congratulate.

After all, today's Tianqi has indeed restored the Central Plains Dynasty's status as the Celestial Empire.

After confirming the wedding date, Wen Zhimiao also had a serious discussion with Shi Wanyue about the topic of offspring.

This is indeed a rather troublesome problem.

"If there is a suitable opportunity, I would prefer to have a child of my own, but if not, I can only adopt one from the Su family and see how it goes. There is no need to rush." ​​Shi Wanyue comforted Wen Zhimiao.

"I'm not in a hurry. It's not that I don't want those guys to urge me to take a concubine. It's annoying to hear that."

Just thinking about having one more man in the palace, and interfering with her and Shi Wanyue, made her feel extremely disgusted.

"You can delay it as long as you can. Do you want to take care of the baby so early?" Shi Wanyue said with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao thought about it and it made sense. It didn't sound very nice to take care of a baby at such a young age.

"Sister, you are right. I will listen to you." Wen Zhimiao nodded obediently.

Shi Wanyue leaned over and kissed her: "After all, when you were young, the emperor also avoided you."

She didn't tell the whole story, but it was not appropriate to let Wen Zhimiao give up the idea of ​​having a child too soon.

Ever since the wedding date was set, Wen Zhimiao has been looking forward to that day every day.

But as the day drew closer, she became nervous again.

When the wedding date was first set, it was said to be next June. At that time, Wen Zhimiao felt that every day was so long.

But seeing that there was only half a month left, she became nervous again.

The wedding gown was made in accordance with the traditional style of Apocalypse, but Yunzhou added a little of his own ingenuity by embroidering two golden figures on the belt and some other playful decorations, making the wedding gown look a little more interesting while still being solemn.

The red wedding gown was embroidered with delicate dragon and phoenix patterns, so as not to lose its royal style. In addition, Wen Zhimiao's wedding gown had moon patterns on it, while Shi Wanyue's had water patterns on it.

The crown is not something Yunzhou can decide. After all, this kind of thing needs to be recorded, including the workmanship, materials, etc.

If you want to be light, you can't be too luxurious, but if you want to be light, you can't be too luxurious, but you can't be too inappropriate for your status.

All Yunzhou could do was to find a way to reduce the time they had to wear them.

After the formal ceremony, they were asked to change into lighter clothes.

The clothes were made before, but some accessories were not finished when I tried them on for the first time, and there were also some places that needed some modifications. It was only today that the modifications were completely completed.

Shi Wanyue was also called into the palace by Yunzhou to try on clothes together.

She has now handed over all the work on hand and the position in the Censorate. Logically, she should not be very busy, but the wedding date is approaching and Jiang Yiyu has many things to ask her. Shi Wanyue often feels that she does not have much time every day and always just does something casually.

Wen Zhimiao was even more so. She was already nervous, and there were a lot of things going on in the recent period. When there was only a month left before the wedding, those guys had some understanding and didn't bother her with too many things.

Thinking about trying on the clothes later, Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but imagine how Shi Wanyue would look like wearing the clothes.

They tried on clothes twice in total, but Yun Zhou didn't let them look at each other each time, so Wen Zhimiao could only imagine.

The two met at the door, and Shi Wanyue smiled at her gently.

Wen Zhimiao looked at her pitifully: "Sister, I want to see it~"

Shi Wanyue looked at her and said softly, "I can't decide this."

But it wasn't just Wen Zhimiao who wanted to see it, Shi Wanyue also wanted to see it, but there was nothing she could do since Yun Zhou really didn't want her to.

Yun Jiuzhao laughed and said, "Mother won't let you watch it. Isn't it because she's afraid that you'll get tired of it by the time of your wedding?"

"No way." Wen Zhimiao retorted in a low voice: "I never get tired of watching it no matter how many times I watch it."

She would always say such things directly, which made Shi Wanyue happy but also a little shy.

"Okay, go quickly." Yun Jiuzhao said to her with a smile: "You will see it eventually, why rush?"

Wen Zhimiao knew that there was nothing he could do and so he obediently went into his fitting room.

She changed her clothes with the help of her maid, and this time they fit her just right.

Wen Zhimiao looked at herself in the mirror and turned around. From the design of the clothes, she could feel that Yun Zhou had indeed put a lot of thought into it.

It takes a lot of effort to supervise the making of just this one piece of clothing.

After Wen Zhimiao put it on, Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo came in and took a look.

She was already delicate, and in this wedding dress, she looked even more brilliant.

Yun Zhou became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

"That's it. Very good. Take it off and wear it another day."

"Oh." Wen Zhimiao took off her clothes obediently and did not dare to say much to Yun Zhou. She thought about how she was very busy when she helped them plan the wedding and had to keep an eye on many things.

Yun Zhou will have to keep an eye on more things this time than she does, after all, there are many envoys from vassal states coming this time.

When she tried on the clothes and went out, Shi Wanyue was already waiting for her outside.

Yun Zhou just visited Shi Wanyue first and then came to Wen Zhimiao's room.

"Okay, we're done trying, everything is fine. You two can have fun by yourselves, I have something else to do." After saying that, Yun Zhou pulled Su Qingluo away.

Yun Jiuzhao also said to Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue: "It's rare to have some free time. Have a good rest. You will be busy in a few days."

The normal ceremony of crowning the queen is a relatively long process. The process for Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo was simpler at the beginning because Yun Zhou really had no maternal family, so many things were omitted. But Wen Zhimiao naturally had to go through the entire process this time.

Ten days before the wedding, the emperor issued an edict, appointing Princess Yun Jiuzhao as the chief envoy and the Minister of the Imperial Clan as the deputy envoy, holding twelve pairs of phoenix feathers, a "double-headed phoenix" with a wingspan of two feet and one inch, and holding in their beaks golden geese holding intertwined branches, black and red silk, a jade scepter and other ceremonial objects to go to the prime minister's residence to perform the ceremony of accepting the bride price and asking for the bride price.

Afterwards, on the auspicious day set by Wen Tiantai, the Ministry of Rites would bring the betrothal gifts of gold, silks and satins, as well as a specially made gilded box with the "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl" pattern containing the Empress's imperial seal (a twelve-page golden book with a golden turtle button) to the Prime Minister's residence to announce the date of the marriage.

After all these were done, the wedding date was getting closer.

The day of enthronement was approaching, but Wen Zhimiao couldn’t sleep the night before yesterday.

Finally, he carried a pot of wine and went to find Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou pitifully.

Just as Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou lay down, they heard someone calling out in their hearts: [Mother~Mother, please don't sleep anymore. Come out and accompany me. Come drink with me. You can also bring Zhou Zhou with you.]

I didn't want to pay attention to her, but Wen Zhimiao kept making noise outside.

Su Qingluo really regretted telling her that he could hear her thoughts. In the past, she would just make noises unconsciously, but now, she could directly convey messages through the air.

"She's outside." Su Qingluo looked at Yun Zhou lying down. She didn't want to say it, but Wen Zhimiao was really noisy, so Su Qingluo still told Yun Zhou.

"what?"

"What's making so much noise so late at night?" Yun Zhou had been very busy these days and was really sleepy now.

"Please let us go out and keep her company."

Yun Zhou said to Su Qingluo mercilessly: "You go and accompany her, I'm really tired."

She has been running around every day recently to confirm the links. Although Su Qingluo will also run with her, she is much stronger than Yun Zhou in terms of physical strength.

"Okay." Su Qingluo also felt sorry for her, so he lowered his head and kissed her: "Then you go to sleep."

"If not, just call Jiuzhao along." Yunzhou was already confused.

"Okay, you go to sleep. It's okay. I'll go find her." Su Qingluo helped her pull the quilt next to her over her.

"She just feels a little unreal." Yun Zhou's voice became smaller and smaller.

Su Qingluo lowered her head and kissed her again: "Well, go to sleep."

It's not cold anymore, so Su Qingluo put on her coat and went out. If it were winter, she probably wouldn't bother with Wen Zhimiao.

As soon as she went out, she saw Wen Zhimiao waiting for her there pitifully.

"It's late at night, we should all go to bed." Su Qingluo looked at her unhappily: "Zhou Zhou is too tired and sleepy."

"She's sleeping. It's okay for you to accompany me, mother." Wen Zhimiao said in a low voice.

"Are you still going to do it?" Su Qingluo knocked her head.

"No~" Wen Zhimiao shook his head obediently: "Mom is the best~"

"Don't give me that." Su Qingluo's eyes fell on the wine in her hand: "You're still drinking at the enthronement ceremony tomorrow? Can you get up? You can't drink that much."

"I can drink a lot better now!" Wen Zhimiao said unconvinced.

"Okay, I know how much you can drink." Su Qingluo walked to the table in the yard and sat down: "Why don't you go find Jiu Zhao?"

"I've been called. I'll be here in a minute." Wen Zhimiao answered honestly.

"You're quite good at making people suffer." Su Qingluo took the wine and poured a glass: "Why are you so nervous about the enthronement ceremony?"

"I feel nervous and unreal. Besides, I haven't seen her for a few days. What a crappy custom." Wen Zhimiao muttered in dissatisfaction.

Su Qingluo laughed: "Customs may not be good, but since they have become customs, sometimes they are also a kind of ritual."

"And the blank period before marriage is not necessarily a bad thing."

"I know." Wen Zhimiao whispered, "It's just a little bit of nervousness."

If there was no one to talk to, Wen Zhimiao could get through it on her own, but since there were people around her, she still wanted to talk to them.

Su Qingluo didn't say she shouldn't, she just smiled and said, "Then drink two cups and sleep well, just make sure you don't get up tomorrow."

Soon Yun Jiuzhao also came over. The moonlight tonight was quite nice.

"Are you so nervous?" Yun Jiuzhao asked her with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao smiled shyly: "A little bit."

"It's normal. I heard that many people feel the same way. After all, starting a family means something different."

The three of them chatted casually, and after drinking the jar of wine, Wen Zhimiao felt much better.

After Wen Zhimiao and Yun Jiuzhao left, Su Qingluo returned to her room, washed up, and went to bed again.

Yun Zhou felt that it was time to get on the bed, and hugged her in a daze. Every time Su Qingluo saw that she was obviously asleep, she would instinctively come over and hug her, and she would feel indescribably soft-hearted.

He kissed Yun Zhou's forehead and said, "Go to sleep."

"You drink." Yun Zhou muttered softly.

"She didn't bring much. Is the smell very strong?" Su Qingluo asked softly.

But Yun Zhou had fallen asleep again. Su Qingluo chuckled, lay down and hugged her waist.

Because the next day was the enthronement ceremony, the retired emperor Su Qingluo and the empress dowager Yun Zhou were both there, so they had to attend as well and got up very early.

Wen Zhimiao drank some wine in the evening and went to bed early, but woke up early the next day.

Of course, now that I'm awake, it's a good time to wash and change clothes. Today is the enthronement ceremony, and I'm not wearing wedding clothes but the emperor's crown clothes.

The dark black crown and the tassels on her head covered her face, and when she had a stern face, it was really frightening.

As soon as the time came, Wen Zhimiao set off for the Taiji Hall.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou met her at the door. Yun Zhou looked at Wen Zhimiao and said softly, "Congratulations."

A smile finally broke out on Wen Zhimiao's stern face: "Thank you."

When they arrived outside the Taiji Hall, Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou entered the hall first. Wen Zhimiao got off the sedan chair and walked towards the palace gate.

From a distance, Wen Zhimiao saw Shi Wanyue wearing the same black robe, which symbolized the crown of Empress Tianqi.

Wen Zhimiao walked over step by step and stopped in front of Shi Wanyue.

The two looked at each other, and then Shi Wanyue extended her hand to her.

This is against the rules, but in feudal dynasties the emperor himself is the biggest rule.

Besides, although Wen Zhimiao's behavior was not against the rules, it was not too excessive. Thinking about her relationship with Shi Wanyue, it was understandable.

After all, compared to these ministers, the emperor is still young, and young people naturally have their own insolence.

As soon as Wen Zhimiao held Shi Wanyue's hand, a perceptive palace maid immediately blew her whip, followed by three whip sounds and the sound of a phoenix flute.

The phoenix flies up to nine thousand miles.

Shi Guanchao led the ministers to pay tribute to the emperor and empress.

Today is the enthronement ceremony, and Shi Wanyue is the king today.

Accompanied by the sounds of ritual music, Wen Zhimiao took Master Wanyue's hand and walked into the Tai Chi Hall step by step.

The ministers stood in order, and He Yuanyao and others were among the officials, looking at the two of them, with smiles unconsciously on their faces.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were still at the top. Wen Zhimiao, holding Shi Wanyue's hand, first bowed to the two of them, and then announced the edict to confer the title of queen.

"The Way of Heaven supports life, the Meaning of Kun complements virtue. I have received the favor of Heaven and inherited the great foundation of the saints...Now Master is the moon, gentle and bright, and has a good example. He can stabilize the country and govern the country...You should protect the ancestral temple with me..."

After reading the imperial edict, Shi Wanyue took it and bowed three times to the emperor. Then Wen Zhimiao walked over and hung a sword on Shi Wanyue's waist: "This sword is called the Cuojin Sword. If one day I make an unforgivable mistake, the queen can use this sword. Today, I invite my mother, the queen mother, and all the ministers to be witnesses."

Shi Wanyue looked at Wen Zhimiao with some surprise in her eyes.

Wen Zhimiao smiled at her gently: "Please supervise me, Queen."

"Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the queen."

After the enthronement ceremony, a banquet was held in the palace and there was also jubilation outside the city.

Today is the day of the enthronement ceremony, which is more solemn than festive, so envoys from other countries are not eligible to attend.

They can only come and join us when we celebrate with the whole world tomorrow.

At the banquet, Wen Zhimiao held Shi Wanyue's hand and sat in the main seat. This time it was truly legitimate.

Wen Zhimiao held Shi Wanyue's hand most of the time, as if he was afraid that he was dreaming.

Shi Wanyue interlocked her fingers and whispered, "No, you fool."

Wen Zhimiao looked at her with such sticky eyes that Yun Zhou couldn't bear it anymore.
