On the night of the 30th, the Manchu and Mongolian princes and old ministers had gathered in the palace to wait for the ceremony. At 0:00 on the 1st, Puyi came to the Qianqing Palace wearing a robe and jacket. He appointed Zai Zhen and Zhaoxu as chief and deputy envoys, and sent eight people including the royal bodyguard Heng Yong to accompany him. At the same time, he ordered four royal ministers, Mongolian Prince Nayantu, Mongolian Prince Gongsanorbu, Zaize and Puxin, to take care of everything in the Qianqing Palace. At 1 o'clock, Puyi sent someone to put a Ruyi handle into the Fengyu, and then set out with Zai Zhen's escort. This phoenix sedan chair is much larger than an ordinary sedan chair and requires 16 people to carry it. The top of the sedan chair is coated with gold, and there is a large golden phoenix in the center with a small gold crown on the back of the phoenix; there are nine small gold pians around it, all holding long yellow silk tasks in their mouths. The sedan enclosure has a goose-yellow satin bottom, embroidered with blue phoenix and red double happiness characters. The embroidery is extremely delicate. Married the guard of honor and walked out of Shenwu Gate, singing 100 pairs of drums and horns. The military, police and constitutional agencies sent more than 2000 cavalry and infantry to strengthen their prestige and protection. Martial law was imposed on Yingqin Street, and there were people on both sides of the road. Visitors from the Beiyang government and foreign personnel can only pass through if they are issued a copper badge. At about 3 o'clock, the queen ascended the carriage with graceful appearance, guided by eight royal guards holding Tibetan incense, and escorted by the original guard of honor. They passed through the Donghua Gate and welcomed the queen into the Qianqing Palace. Empress Wanrong stepped down from the carriage, Puyi took off her veil, walked onto the wedding bed together, and ate "posthumous cakes". An official outside the window recited the congratulatory message loudly in Manchu. There is also a "wedding banquet" in the palace, including pig and sheep forks, gold and silver wine, gold and silver meals, etc. The Puyi couple only sat down and left. Later, Xinhou had to sit southeast and eat "longevity noodles" with Puyi. The ceremony on the first day of the wedding ended. On the morning of the 3rd, a "congratulatory letter" was held. Since envoys from various countries stationed in Beijing repeatedly requested through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government to go to the palace to congratulate Pu Yi, a reception hall was established, with Zhuang Shidun and Liang Dunyan serving as the chief guests. Two large mat sheds were temporarily erected outside the Jingyun Gate, and Beijing Hotel ordered sumptuous cold food, cakes and French champagne. In addition, more than 100 two-person palanades were prepared for them to ride back and forth. Outside the Qianqing Palace, just like New Year's Day, static whips and various musical instruments are displayed, and a large archway is built with colorful silk hanging on it. At 10 a.m., a large number of envoys stationed in China came to Dongnuan Pavilion and bowed to Pu Yi, who was wearing a dragon robe and a pearl crown, and Wan Rong, who was wearing a cheongsam and combed her hair. The Pu Yi couple just nodded slightly to show their gratitude. After receiving foreign envoys, Puyi took his seat again and received Huang Kaiwen, the special envoy of President Li Yuanhong. Huang Kaiwen left late and met with more than 40 civil and military officials of the Beiyang government and representatives of warlords from various provinces. In addition, there are also Zhang Jinghui, representative of Zhang Zuolin, and representatives of Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and others. After the ceremony, they were invited to dinner and a theater. Then the whip was sounded and music was played, and the Manchu princes and former ministers bowed three times to Puyi.
