Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

437、The Lord and the Empress

Wen Xi pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Did I come at...not the right time?" Wen Xi regretted entrusting her son to Jing Yi to take care of her. Sure enough, most men in this world don't pay much attention to hygiene... I still remember the first time Jingyi appeared in front of her, he was full of mud and dirty, presumably that was his essence!Fortunately, Wen Xi thought he was a gentle and personable gentleman!

Jingyi's face turned red and white, and hurriedly picked up the Huayang Jin thrown in the corner, combed the Taoist priest's hair three times, five times and two times, and swept away the food on the ground with a sweep of his sleeves, "Sit inside ——" Only then did he notice that he had a huge bare foot, and Jingyi hurriedly covered it with a Taoist robe in embarrassment, but unfortunately the foot was too big, covering the instep and unable to cover the toes.

Entering the bedroom, Xiao Shiba fell asleep in it.Fortunately, the bedroom is clean, uh... But what is that greasy mark on her son's mouth... Think about it with your toes, Xiao Shiba also ate roast chicken for dinner!

Wen Xi suddenly thought of a key question: "Aren't Taoists monks? Can monks also eat meat?"

Jing looked normal, and said: "Why not? Don't you know that there is a Taoist priest called Huoju Taoist? Not only can he eat meat, but he can also marry a wife and have children!"

If the last sentence "marry a wife and have children" is meaningful, Wen Xi just pretends that he didn't hear it.Seeing that her son was doing well, she felt relieved.Seeing that her son was fast asleep, Wen Xi didn't wake him up, and turned to tuck in the corner of the quilt.

When Wen Xi turned around, Jing Yi had found the shoes from nowhere and put them on.Then he said to Wen Xi in a serious manner: "Yinyou is much better now, he is awake for two hours every day, and his appetite is also very good at night."

Wen Xi absolutely believes in the fact that she has a good appetite.She took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped Yin Yu's greasy mouth.

When Jing saw that Wen Xi was only listening silently, she hurriedly said, "Your wife came here two days ago."

Wen Xi was taken aback for a moment, "Hi'er is here?" But Wen Xi remembered that her mistress is a Buddhist believer, so why would she come to a Taoist temple?

"No. It's your eldest daughter-in-law." Jing Yi corrected.

Oh, that's Guarjia Yilan. This Taoist temple was built with the funds of her natal family, so it's normal to come to worship often.What's more, she is pregnant now, and she is looking forward to having a son.

Wen Xi took out a chubby, fluffy white ball from her bosom and put it beside Yinyu's pillow. This little thing was Yinyu's favorite pet snow ball.It was a snow mastiff, only three months old, which was presented by the eunuch of the kennel to please Yinzhen, but it was still too young, so Yinzhen sneaked away to Mulan and left it in elder brother's house.Today Wen Xi brought Snowball too.

Seeing Yinzhu sleeping soundly, Wen Xi felt relieved.Take out a sapphire auspicious cloud pattern box from the sleeve.Put it aside on the Eight Immortals table, push it to Jingyi, and then opened the lid of the box.

"This is—" Before seeing what was inside, Jingyi felt the overflowing aura and the cold air, and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air: "Snow lotus?——No, thousand-year-old snow lotus!" After being surprised, he looked up at Wen Wen. Xi: "What do you mean?!"

Wen Xi smiled and said, "I've thought about it, but I don't have anything to thank you for." I'm afraid that ordinary things like gold, silver and jewelry won't catch your eye.Thinking about it, only the medicinal materials in the space can be obtained.

Jingyi's complexion changed, and his tone was not as gentle as before.With a bit of anger: "I didn't save Yinxuan just to trick you!" Then he pushed the jade box back to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi's tone was gentle, but with the meaning of not being able to refuse: "You keep it! I thought, this thing will be useful to you!" Last time Jingyi won a bet with Kangxi that the year of the snow lotus was not as good as this one, she was not used to it Being favored by others, not to mention saving her own son's life, Wen Xi would not be able to blame herself if she didn't come up with something decent, but she also knew Jing Yi's stubbornness, so she said, "Take it as Yin Yu's apprenticeship ceremony." , is it all right?"

Jing felt a little helpless: "You said it was a teacher's ceremony, so I can't refuse. It's just that the thousand-year-old snow lotus is extremely precious, and I'm afraid I can't find a second one in the world. It's just..." Jing Yi I looked at Wen Xiyi, "Although I am surprised, why you recovered so quickly and reached the peak of Jindan, but at this time, you may break through at any time, and you need a lot of elixir, so you still take this thing Let's go back."

Wen Xi hurriedly asked: "You mean to attack the Nascent Soul, as long as you have enough elixir?"

Jing nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "That's true, it sounds simple, but it is not easy to prepare enough elixir!"

Wen Xi laughed immediately, so she felt at ease. The snow lotus, ganoderma, and ginseng in the space were all in pieces, and she said with a smile: "Don't forget, my husband is the emperor, and I have plenty of elixir in the world. You just take it." Down!"

Seeing that Wen Xi's appearance does not seem to be fake, Jing Yi couldn't help but wonder, there are less and less elixir items, even the emperor can't find too many, right?Could it be that he has been in seclusion for too long and doesn't understand the world anymore?

In the middle of the night, Wen Xi couldn't come out for too long, so after saying a few words, she bid farewell to Jing Yi and slipped back to the palace.

In the twelfth lunar month, the sky is getting colder, and the northern country is covered with snow.

Wen Xi was warming up the fire in her own palace, but she received Kangxi's imperial decree to be announced to the world: the Ministry of Rites, the Empress Dowager's benevolent order, the imperial concubine Niu Hulu's family, filial piety, and Shuyi's plain writing.Ju Yu's sons are extremely kind and diligent.She should be established as a queen to show favor and praise.Qin this, the former Jiuqing ministers, repeatedly set up a book to invite the middle palace.I have little thinking in my heart, and I have not allowed to procrastinate.Today, I only follow the benevolent order and make the imperial concubine the queen.The ceremony should be held, and Erbu will discuss and hear about it.

This is an imperial decree for the establishment of the empress, intended to order the Ministry of Rites to organize the ceremony for the establishment of the empress, and it was not issued to Wen Xi, so it was not a formal edict to seal the empress.In the eyes of others, Kangxi's decree may be like a single stone stirring up thousands of waves. Before the slightest rumor was revealed, it was just like the crown prince was abolished, the elder brother was banned, and the eighth and fourteenth elder brothers were imprisoned in the clan's mansion. When the government and the opposition were in turmoil, an imperial decree ordering the Ministry of Rites to organize the post-sealing ceremony was enough to surprise countless people.

Establishing an empress is no better than conferring a concubine, just decree and canonize her, but empress empress is countless times more cumbersome than this.The next day, Kangxi sent officials to offer sacrifices to Tiandi and Taimiao.And the ceremony for setting up the empress is scheduled for the fifth auspicious day in early February next year. Although the canonization ceremony has not been formally performed, Wen Xi's identity is already a certainty.

The queen's auspicious clothes, court clothes, court crowns, court beads, etc. were then respectfully sent to Chengqian Palace.It's just that Wen Xi can't wear these clothes yet, and she still wears the imperial concubine's court clothes to kowtow to the Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Not only Wen Xi came late, but also the concubines came too early.

Wen Xi saluted as usual, "My concubine pays her respects to the queen mother, and may the queen mother be blessed forever!"

The Empress Dowager looks at Wen Xi with complex eyes now. The beginning of Kangxi's decree is "By the Empress Dowager's Mercy", which means that the empress dowager's decree comes from the Empress Dowager, but in fact Kangxi only informed the Empress Dowager in advance as a courtesy, but It's just "informing", the queen mother can't bear the consequences of falling out with Kangxi.

The Empress Dowager tried her best to show a gentle smile, and said to Nanny Ji beside her, "Go and help the Empress up."

The left and right concubines immediately looked at me and at you, with different expressions on their faces.Concubine Hui is now ten years old because of her son's affairs, and she has long been unable to take care of other things. Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi turned pale. Calling the imperial concubine "Queen", obviously they have to change their title.

Although Concubine Cheng was surprised, she was more surprised. Wen Xi's status was higher, which was only good for her, and she was already worthy of becoming the first concubine under the new empress.Concubine Wang and Concubine Yi's expressions were similar, but Concubine Wang's expression was even uglier. Her son is still locked up in the clan mansion!Concubine Shen was rather complacent, Concubine Ding was a wooden person who looked at her nose, nose, nose, and heart without making a show of expression.The concubine Liang's strangle marks on her neck have not disappeared, so she never came.

Nanny Ji politely helped Wen Xi up, and Wen Xi said with a smile, "Thank you, Empress Empress!" Since the Queen Mother called her "Empress", Wen Xi naturally had to change her name to Empress Empress.

Concubine Cheng took the lead and concubine Shen knelt down to salute: "Concubine (concubine) pay respects to the master and empress!"

Although the imperial concubine is the deputy queen, she is still a concubine, so the officially canonized concubine does not need to kneel and bow, only when meeting the queen.And the title "Master and Empress" is also exclusive to the empress, because the emperor is the "master" of the world, and the empress is naturally the "Master and Empress".

Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi also knelt down, and the concubines Wang and Yi did not dare to be special, and bowed obediently: "Master and empress, all blessings!"

Wen Xi accepted it with a smile, "Sisters, you are welcome." Although most of the concubines are older than her, but no one dares to be the queen's "elder sister", so Wen Xi asked her to call her so, and she probably wouldn't If anyone had any objections, he glanced around and said calmly: "Everyone came very early, but I am lazy, let's get down!"

The queen mother said seriously: "Although the canonization ceremony has not been performed, since the emperor has issued an order to the Ministry of Rites, it should be done according to the etiquette!"

Concubines naturally understand the etiquette mentioned by the Empress Dowager, if there is a lord in the middle palace, the concubines should go to pay respects to the Empress first, and then the Empress will lead them to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects.It's just because Kangxi's decree was so sudden today that the concubines haven't reacted yet!

The concubines who had just got up had to kneel down again, and said in unison: "Concubines (concubines) remember the Queen Mother's teachings!"

Wen Xi smiled and said: "What the emperor said is that it's just that if it's cold today, there's no need to greet you every day, just once every five days." According to the rules, it is natural to greet every day, but Wen Xi has been lazy these years I'm used to it, but I can't be diligent.

"Follow the order of the master and empress!"

Wen Xi sized up these concubines who were obedient and more cat-like, and sure enough, it was different when she was one level higher. She didn't have such a high prestige as an imperial concubine. Once the prestige was established, the benefits would naturally have to be given, Wen Xi smiled kindly Said: "The harem has not been sealed for many years, and the sisters have not moved their positions for many years. I just took this opportunity to mention this matter to the emperor, so that everyone can enjoy it together."

For a moment, the eyes of the concubines turned red, eager to try. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
