Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 132 Happy (with more flowers)
Wanxian then put the letter written by Long live Lord into her sleeve.Then she told Yun Xia and others: "I'm going to have a rest. Call me again during lunch." After saying that, Wan Xian went back to the east room and got on the bed.

After Yunxia and Qiaoguo put down the bed curtains, Wanxian secretly took out the letter from her sleeve and watched the Lord Long Live express his heartfelt feelings to her in the sunlight outside.

Wanxian shyly looked at the love words on the letter.I thought with embarrassment in my heart that if Long Live Lord were in front of me now, I would definitely throw myself into Long Live Lord's arms and kiss Long Live Lord properly.Wanxian happily rolled over on the bed several times before falling asleep in a daze.Maybe she got up too early in the morning and the court clothes she wore were too heavy, so Wanxian fell asleep straight until [-]:[-] noon.

After Wanxian woke up, Yunxia and Qiaoguo, who were guarding outside the bed, heard the noise and quickly raised the bed curtain.

"Mother, are you ready?" Yunxia asked.

Wanxian yawned and said, "What time is it? Did An Bin say anything?"

Qiaoguo quickly helped Wanxian up and said, "It's already four-quarter noon to get back to the empress. Aunt Yun sent someone to tell her a long time ago. She said that Concubine An was also tired and was taking a rest. Let's have lunch. Just use it for your own use."

"Okay, then prepare something light. I'm afraid the banquet in the evening will be very greasy." Wanxian sat on the edge of the bed and watched Yunxia serve her and put on her shoes.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you just fell asleep. Hou Jia agreed, and Concubine Qi Jia and Concubine Zhang came into the palace, saying that they wanted to kowtow to the Empress to thank her. She thanked the Empress for rewarding them with so many things. The servant said that the Empress has already Now rest, please don't be polite, three young masters." Qiao Guo said as she handed Wan Xian her middle coat.

"Let them have a good rest. It's not easy for them. If I hadn't been favored by Lord Long Live, my life might have been the same as theirs." Wanxian said.

"How can the young masters compare with you, my queen? Your blessings are profound. Your luck lies behind you." Yunxia said a wisecrack to Wanxian.

"Hey, where's the wet nurse?" Wanxian asked after getting dressed, walking to the edge of the heated bed.

"Replying to your Majesty, Grandma Gu went to the kitchen. I was thinking of preparing some snacks for you to use when you wake up." Qiaoguo poured a cup of tea and presented it to Wanxian.

Wanxian took the tea, drank several sips, and asked, "By the way, where is the bracelet that the Queen Mother gave me?" Wanxian was completely fascinated by the court clothes she was wearing and the letter from Long Live Lord.When I woke up now, I remembered the jade bracelet that the Empress Dowager had given me in the Ningshou Palace in the morning.

"I carefully placed it in the jewelry box, and I went to get it." Qiaoguo quickly walked to the dressing table, took out a wooden box, and handed it to Wanxian.

Wanxian took the wooden box and opened it.Lying quietly inside was an extremely fine jasper bracelet.After Wanxian looked at it for a long time, she ordered: "Put it away carefully. Wear it again later."

"Yes, I will collect it carefully." Qiaoguo immediately placed the wooden box in front of the dressing table.

At this moment, Nanny Yun and Nanny Gu came into the east room together.Aunt Yun paid her respects to Wanxian and said, "I would like to express my regards to Empress Shu. I am here to express my gratitude to you. Empress Shu, our empress likes the items you sent us very much. Let me come and thank you for your kindness."

"Aunty Yun, please get up quickly. You don't have to be polite when you call Concubine An. This is what you should do. Concubine An takes care of me like this." Wanxian said kindly.

"By the way, Madam Shu, tonight's New Year's Eve banquet is the reunion night for the Long Live Lord and his concubines. According to the rules, all concubines can participate, regardless of rank. For today's dinner, Madam, you should wear auspicious clothes." Grandma Yun came as soon as she arrived. The second reason for thanking An Bin is to remind Wanxian what to wear for today's dinner.

"Okay, thank you, mama, for informing me. Nanny, go down and get ready." Wanxian said, half lying on the heated kang.

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Nanny Gu immediately went down to prepare.

……

Within three moments, Wanxian stood up and put on the auspicious clothes.

Wanxian had also worn an azure-colored auspicious suit before, but it was still the auspicious suit she wore when she was a noble.

The auspicious clothes of concubines consist of dragon robes and dragon coats, and they also wear auspicious clothes crowns on their heads.Therefore, after being promoted to the concubine position, you can truly have a place in the harem.

The concubine's dragon robe is of fragrant color, embroidered with nine golden dragons, with five-color clouds in between, and colorful blessings and longevity. The lower part has eight treasures standing on the water.There is one dragon on the front and back of the collar, one dragon on the left and right and where the lapels meet, two dragons on the left and right where the sleeves meet, and open trains on the left and right.What he wears outside is a dragon coat, which is azurite color.The embroidered text is eight groups of five-clawed golden dragons, one dragon on the front and one shoulder, and four groups of rows of dragons are embroidered on the lapel.The lower part has eight treasures standing on water, and two dragons on each sleeve.

Jifu crowns are lighter in weight than court crowns, with smoked mink eaves and red wefts.It is not embellished with gold, only an agate is embellished on the top.

After Wanxian packed up everything, she sighed: "This outfit is much lighter than the court dress."

"Since Empress Shu is ready, why not go to the front hall. If Empress An is ready, we can go to Qianqing Palace early." Aunt Yun said after helping Wanxian get everything done. "Okay, let's go." Wanxian nodded, picked up the hand warmer and walked to the front hall.

When Wanxian arrived at the front hall, Bu Guiren, Hou Jiayi, Qi Jia and Zhang were all sitting on the chairs.As soon as they saw Wanxian, the three concubines quickly saluted and said hello.

However, Bu Guiren pulled Wanxian affectionately and said, "I accepted the gift you sent me today. I like it very much. Thank you very much for thinking carefully about me."

Wanxian said affectionately: "It's not worth it, as long as you like it."

"I like it very much. Look, I've already put on the silk bracelet you gave me." Bu Guiren really liked it. As he spoke, he pulled up his azure sleeves to reveal the silk bracelet.The cloth nobles are wearing noble-grade auspicious clothes today, embroidered with crane patterns.

However, the patterns on the concubines were just ordinary flowers, and they were all wearing the same clothes.

Wanxian nodded to the three concubines and then ignored them. They were just acquaintances with each other.

After Concubine An came out, everyone walked to the palace gate together.The concubines below the nobles do not have warm sedan chairs, but they do have them during the New Year.The concubines and the young masters did not dare to move around, so they prepared a mule cart to avoid freezing the young masters.

This time, there is no need to go to Chengqian Palace to meet the noble concubine first.All you have to do is go to the Qianqing Palace and wait for the dinner to begin.

When the group from Changchun Palace arrived behind Fengcai Gate, the side door of Hongde Hall, the side hall of Qianqing Palace, a group of people were waiting to get off the sedan and the mule cart.Start walking towards the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

The entrance to the main hall of Qianqing Palace has already been decorated with lanterns.The servants in the main hall have already prepared the seats.There are two seats in the middle, for the Long Live Lord and the Queen Mother.Each of the hostesses has one seat, and there are two rows in the east and west, each with five seats.The rest of the nobles and young masters sat on the Eight Immortals table next to the two rows of the main seat.

Concubine Cheng had already arrived with the young masters in her palace.Cheng Bin sat on the fourth seat on the west side, with Wanxian's seat below her.After the few people greeted each other, they sat down separately.

Wanxian sat on the table and touched the stove in boredom.

"My slave, I would like to pay my respects to Empress Shu." Zhao Sanxi thought about what his master had told her and hurriedly came forward to pay his respects to Empress Shu.

"It's Eunuch Zhao." As soon as Wanxian heard the voice, she knew it was an acquaintance and said.

"Yes, your Majesty. I have something to report, please move my Majesty." Zhao Sanxi said respectfully.

"Okay." Wanxian said, stood up, and was led by Zhao Sanxi to the Xinuan Pavilion.

Concubine An, who was on the opposite side, and Concubine Cheng, who was standing next to Wanxian, looked at this scene and sighed in their hearts: "After all, concubine Shu is lucky."

Wanxian was supported by Aunt Yun and Nanny Gu and followed Zhao Sanxi into the Xinuan Pavilion.

After Zhao Sanxi invited Wanxian to sit on the warm bed, he quickly replied: "Reply to Empress Shu. Long Live Master asked the servant to send a message to the empress, saying that the matter assigned by the empress has been completed. The empress cannot see anyone she does not want to see. .”

"It's true. But what happened?" After listening to Zhao Sanxi's words, Wanxian knew what it meant and asked happily.

Nanny Yun and Nanny Gu, who were waiting on the side, watched helplessly as Empress Shu and Eunuch Zhao played riddles.

"I would like to report to Empress Shu, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report this morning. It is said that the wife of Guarjia Mansion accidentally fell when she got up early in the morning, and I am afraid she will not be able to recover for another three months." Zhao Sanxi knew that Empress Shu was thinking. What are you listening to, he said quickly.

"It turns out that this is what happened, and I know about it. Nanny, hurry up and give Eunuch Zhao a red envelope. Thank you for telling me this news. I am very happy for the Chinese New Year." Wanxian laughed out loud with joy.

"Yes, I'll give it to you right now." Nanny Gu quickly took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Sanxi.

Many thanks to Lingling Changle for the flower gift.I am also very grateful to everyone who sent flowers and collected this article.Thanks.
