1. When the emperor and the queen held a wedding ceremony, the emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe and the queen wore a dragon and phoenix robe and entered the bridal chamber of Kunning Palace (Shunzhi in Yu Wei Palace). After the queen used the children's cakes, she changed into eight robes of dragons and phoenixes. Empress Dowager Cixi married her and entered the wedding banquet.
2. The specific process:
(1) The 27th day of the first month is the wedding day of the emperor as stipulated in the imperial edict of Cixi. At a quarter of an hour on the third day, the Queen boarded Fengyu from the eaves of the main hall of the mansion. After a quarter of an hour on East Chang 'an Avenue, a quarter of an hour on the first day of ugliness to the East Chang 'an Archway, a quarter of an hour on the second day to Gan Qing Gate, and a quarter of an hour on the third day to Gan Qing Palace, the Queen came down. Fujin received apples and handed vases, the queen received vases, and Sifujin helped. The Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs preset a brazier in Gan Qing Palace, and the Armed Forces College preset a saddle on the threshold of Kunning Palace.
(2) The queen should cross the brazier when cleaning the palace. When she left the clean palace and arrived at Kunning Palace, she had to cross the saddle with two apples on the threshold to enter the bridal chamber. The custom of crossing saddle is the same as the sound of "An", which is regarded as a representative of praying for peace. At the beginning of entering the bridal chamber, the queen should first "sit in the tent ceremony" with the emperor, and then perform the ceremony of tying the knot. This ceremony has been the traditional etiquette of all ethnic groups since ancient times. It was held in the bridal chamber, and the wedding of the Qing emperor was held in Kunning Palace. At this time, the queen should freshen up, put on the dragon and phoenix robe she wore at home, dress Rapunzel as a "double-headed" daughter-in-law, and then put on the royal dress and gown.
(3) When the Empress of the Qing Dynasty got married, the female officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs respectfully entered the banquet table, laid mattresses under the bed edge of Longfeng Xi, sat opposite each other, and respectfully entered the emperor and empress to make cups for the wedding banquet. The queen is on the left and the emperor is on the right, drinking and eating. When Empress Dowager Cixi was eating, there were married guards and couples singing greetings in Manchu under the eaves outside Kunning Palace. On the night of the wedding, the empress dowager will eat longevity noodles, and the emperor will hold a big court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to receive congratulations from his relatives, issue letters and hold a grand banquet. At this point, the whole wedding ceremony is over.
