The wedding and crowning ceremony are on the same day, so the entire palace is incredibly busy.
The crowning ceremony is complicated, with a plethora of rituals to undergo before the grand ceremony begins, followed by sacrifices to heaven and basking in the reverent gaze of the populace.
The whole process takes nearly a day, and Lu Hualiang also needs to hold a wedding for Xia Weibao, making time extremely tight.
The Ministry of Rites eliminated the excess and directly held the wedding in the Golden Luán Hall, then began the crowning process.
Early in the morning, Xia Weibao was dragged out of bed, hardly able to open her eyes due to exhaustion.
Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she was half-asleep, her head nodding as if it might fall.
The palace maid quickly supported her and helped her dress and apply makeup.
The imperial wedding was such a grand occasion, the makeup elaborate and exquisite, hair adorned with the beaded crown, and head crowned with the phoenix crown.
