Chapter 1150 His Consideration
Although there was a rule that one could not eat before drinking the wedding wine on the wedding day, Shen Qingqian was already hungry. After arriving at Qifeng Palace, she asked someone to bring some cakes.
"Your Majesty, these are all prepared by the Emperor." The head palace maid Hong Yuan said with a smile.
The deeds of the Queen have spread throughout the palace. The servants are very curious about her and are extremely happy to be chosen to take care of her daily life.
Shen Qingqian looked up and saw eight small plates on the table, each containing six index finger-sized pastries.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Ze was so considerate. He knew that she shouldn't make any big movements today and could only eat a little to fill her stomach, so he asked someone to make such a small pastry that was easy to eat in one bite.
Shen Qingqian felt sweet in her heart and gained a little more confidence in her future life.
She only tasted one of each cake and didn't dare to eat any more. She also only dared to drink a little bit of water in small sips.
She was wearing the heavy court dress of the queen and needed someone to support her when walking. Shen Qingqian didn't want to go to the toilet because of eating and drinking too much in this situation. That would be a disaster.
A banquet was also prepared in the palace at noon, but apart from offering blessings, no officials dared to drink, for fear of making a fool of themselves during the sacrifice to heaven.
After Sheng Ze hurriedly finished his lunch, he sent someone to deliver a message to Shen Qingqian.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is afraid that you will be tired, so he asked me to change you into a light undershirt." Hong Yuan came in with a soft and light undershirt, her heart full of envy.
She was an old lady who had been in the palace since the time of the previous emperor. She was supposed to leave the palace this year, but because she had never made any mistakes and had good qualifications, she was kept by Shengze.
Hong Yuan has seen three emperors over the years. Although the previous emperor respected and favored the empress, there were still other concubines in the harem; there is no need to say more about the previous emperor Sheng Zhan, whose personality was changeable and he never favored any one concubine; now this emperor is so caring towards the empress, which is rare and enviable.
Shen Qingqian had long wanted to change out of the dozen or so layers of clothes she was wearing, and upon hearing this, she immediately asked Hong Yuan for help.
The weather was unusual, so she didn't dare to be careless. She tied a few thermal insulation bands on her undershirt to keep warm, and then put on the outer coat of her court dress.
Without more than ten layers of restraints, Shen Qingqian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Not long after noon, someone came to invite Shen Qingqian to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to offer sacrifices to the gods and heaven with Sheng Ze.
Shen Qingqian cheered up and went over.
The following process was very boring and she had to be careful not to fall asleep.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods and heaven was held at the imperial mausoleum, which took three hours to go back and forth from the imperial palace.
Everything went smoothly after that. When Shen Qingqian returned to the palace again, it was already the end of the Xu hour.
"Six, that's not right," Shen Wen followed Shen Qingqian into the palace as a dowry, and for a while she was not used to changing her words, "Empress, I will help you wash up first."
The wedding of the emperor and empress of the Jin Dynasty was different from that of ordinary people. The process of removing the veil was after changing into light wedding clothes.
Shen Qingqian was eager to take a bath, so she immediately went to the bathhouse behind the bedroom.
Today was the wedding day, and Shen Qingqian was carried directly to Longqian Palace.
There is a bathtub in the bedroom of Longqian Palace. Hot water is brought in from the small kitchen. A skilled craftsman made something similar to a modern faucet. As long as you ask in advance, hot water can be available at any time.
The bathtub was already filled with water. Shen Qingqian was not used to being served, so she sent Hong Yuan and the others out.
The moment she soaked in the hot water, she moaned in comfort.
Sheng Ze hurried back and heard such a voice as soon as he entered the house. His eyes suddenly became deeper, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and even his breathing and footsteps became heavier unconsciously.
