Seeing that Zhu Yijun was staring at her, Empress Wang felt that her heart was beating faster, and her face was even redder. But she was also secretly relieved. It seemed that the emperor was still very satisfied with her.
After becoming the empress, Wang Xijie received countless education, among which how to be doted on by the emperor was the most important.
"Let me serve Your Majesty to bed!" Although Empress Wang was shy, she still had to do what she had to do.
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt a headache. But he also knew that he had to pass this test tonight. Speaking of which, he was really a little tempted. Under the light, Empress Wang looked really charming.
Seeing Empress Wang spread the white cloth, Zhu Yijun could only shake his head. This thing should be recorded in the daily notes.
After getting on the bed, Zhu Yijun reached out and held Empress Wang in his arms. At this moment, Zhu Yijun could clearly feel that Empress Wang's body was stiff and trembling. Zhu Yijun reached out and stroked Empress Wang's back.
"We will be husband and wife in the future, and we want to support each other for the rest of our lives."
Zhu Yijun said softly, "Although I am the emperor and you are the empress, in fact, we are husband and wife. It is no different from ordinary families."
"I know." Empress Wang buried her head in Zhu Yijun's arms and said timidly.
After a while, Empress Wang's body also softened, and then she said, "Your Majesty, I am ready."
Hearing this, Zhu Yijun understood, so he turned over and pressed Empress Wang under his body.
This matter had to be done. If the emperor did not consummate with the empress on their wedding night, the empress would not be able to be a person in the future.
"Don't let her get pregnant first!" Zhu Yijun made up his mind, and did not struggle or hesitate.
It was a quiet night.
The next morning, Zhu Yijun woke up very early with a pair of big dark circles under his eyes.
Yesterday's wedding was tiring enough, and the consummation process at night was even more so. Zhu Yijun himself was embarrassed, it was too tiring.
He could have stayed in bed, but Zhu Yijun had a lot of things to do today. He had to get up!
Empress Wang had also woken up. She changed her clothes with Liu Seol's help. From time to time, she would sneak a peek at Zhu Yijun with a blushing face.
Although yesterday was a grand wedding, the aftermath was not over yet. Today, they still had to worship the ancestors with the Empress.
They went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to pay their respects.
Then, Zhu Yijun would go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and announce the success of the wedding.
The Empress led her two concubines to kowtow to her husband. The Empress Dowager went to their respective chambers to present gifts to the newlyweds and held a banquet to congratulate them.
Then the Emperor would go to the Imperial Palace to receive the congratulations of the nobles and ministers.
Finally, a banquet would be held to entertain the Empress' family and gifts would be given.
Zhu Yijun first brought Empress Wang to the Palace of Benevolence and Celebration. Because Zhu Yijun had been careful last night, Empress Wang was able to walk without any problems. At the Palace of Benevolence and Celebration, they greeted Empress Dowager Chen and then went to the Palace of Benevolence and Peace to greet Queen Dowager Li.
After eating breakfast at the Palace of Benevolence and Peace, Zhu Yijun brought Empress Wang to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The two concubines were already waiting there. Under Empress Wang's lead, the three of them greeted Zhu Yijun together and the ceremony was finally over.
Zhu Yijun still had to go to the Imperial Palace to give a banquet to the ministers, just like a common wedding banquet.
The wedding banquet was arranged for lunch, and the ministers did not stand on ceremony. This was the Emperor's wedding banquet, and they might not be able to attend it even once in their lives.
It was fine to eat a little more elegantly, but this was not just eating, there were also all kinds of etiquettes, it was very complicated.
At the same time, Zhu Yijun still had to give rewards to the bride's family, so there was no need for Zhu Yijun to worry about these things.
Zhang Hong was wearing a red robe, holding the imperial edict in his hands and reading it, his expression was very joyous.
There was no need to talk about the rewards, there was a lot of gold, a thousand mu of land, silk and satin, jade and antiques.
Empress Wang's father, Wang Wei, was conferred the title of Count Yongnian, and his eldest son, Yinyin, the Imperial Bodyguard, read it for a long time.
After the banquet, Zhu Yijun did not return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but went to the Palace of Heavenly Peace.
Zhu Yijun wanted to express to the people in the palace that he liked Empress Wang a lot and doted on him a lot.
Whether it was from the perspective of legitimacy or the stability of the harem, he had to spend more energy on Empress Wang.
The Empress was the mother of the country, so as long as her position was solid, the harem would not be chaotic.
In history, the Wanli Emperor launched a war for the foundation of the country, but why did he not abolish Empress Wang?
In fact, if he really wanted to change the Crown Prince, abolishing the Empress was the best way. As long as Imperial Consort Zheng was conferred the title of Empress, her son would naturally be the Crown Prince.
As for whether the Wanli Emperor really wanted to change the Crown Prince, Zhu Yijun had always been reserved.
In Zhu Yijun's view, that war for the foundation of the country was more like a movement launched by the Wanli Emperor to seize power.
When Zhu Yijun came to the Palace of Heavenly Peace, Empress Wang did not expect it. When she heard that Zhu Yijun had come, she ran out in surprise to welcome him.
For Empress Wang, she came to the palace at the age of thirteen, in an unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people, she did not feel safe at all.
It was different when her husband was by her side. After all, the two of them were husband and wife in name, and there were times when they were husband and wife.
Seeing that Empress Wang was about to salute, Zhu Yijun walked over with a smile. He reached out to hold Empress Wang's hand and said, "We are husband and wife. There is no need to do this." After saying that, he did not let go of Empress Wang's hand and walked into the Palace of Heavenly Peace while holding her hand.
Empress Wang blushed and let Zhu Yijun hold her hand. She lowered her head and followed behind Zhu Yijun.
After entering the Palace of Heavenly Peace, Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "I am hungry. Is there anything to eat?
By the time we started eating at the wedding banquet, all the food had gone cold. I thought I could have a big meal, but I came back hungry. "
"I can't even eat my fill at my own wedding banquet. What is this? I can only come to the Empress for a meal."
Seeing that Zhu Yijun's words were funny, and he even winked at her, Empress Wang suddenly felt her heart beat wildly, but she was also very happy in her heart. She hurriedly ordered Liu Se, "Hurry up and prepare the food."
Seeing that Liu Seol turned around and left, Zhu Yijun smiled. Liu Seol was indeed very smart.
She did not move when he spoke, and only went when Empress Wang ordered her to. She found the right position.
"Sit, I want to talk to you!"
Zhu Yijun pulled Empress Wang to sit down and said. Originally, he wanted to pull Empress Wang onto his lap, but thinking of the meaning of this position in this era, he could only give up.
Pulling a woman to sit on his lap was very frivolous in this era. This was mostly done in brothels.
"Liu Seol has been by my side for many years. I was afraid that you would not be used to living in the palace, so I sent her to serve you. You can ask her to do anything." Although Zhu Yijun did not let Empress Wang sit on his lap, he still held her hand.
