Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 1173 Qin Zheng Returns (1)
The music of the emperor ascending the throne resounded throughout the palace.

Shihua, Shimo, Shilan, Shiwan, Pinqing, Pinzhu, Pinxuan, and Pinyan faced the Queen's big red phoenix robe, although they were amazed and praised the beauty, but everyone was careful, on such a day , In the music playing all over the palace, there is no feeling of festiveness at all.

After Qin Yu left, Empress Dowager Feng Jia came to the bedroom.

This is the first time the Queen Mother came here to see Xie Fanghua since Xie Fanghua entered the palace.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, and she was wearing the Empress Dowager's dress. After entering the inner hall, she saw the empress's auspicious dress on the table. Xie Fanghua stood in front of the window and looked out of the window. She had a slender figure and held it tight. She smiled, " The emperor is already holding the grand ceremony, why hasn't Miss Fanghua changed her clothes?"

Xie Fanghua turned her head, looked at the queen mother, and smiled faintly, "The emperor told me that there is no rush."

The queen mother came over and held her hand, very kindly, with joy in her eyes, "Today is the big day for the emperor's ascension to the throne and the establishment of the empress. Although he said that he is not in a hurry, he can't delay. We should prepare early, so that we After the enthronement ceremony is over, you will be crowned empress. I was so nervous back then, but I changed into the emerald clothes early on."

Xie Fanghua smiled and said, "There can be no delay, the Queen Mother can rest assured."

The queen mother looked at her, "Although we women are not allowed to visit the enthronement ceremony, we don't have to just stay in the palace." After saying that, she smiled, "Change your clothes, and I will take you to the Phoenix Terrace in the Forbidden Garden. From there, you can see the whole palace, and you can see the emperor's enthronement ceremony."

"Phoenix Terrace?" Xie Fanghua looked at the Queen Mother.

"It's Phoenix Terrace, in the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace." The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled, "The imperial mausoleum is far away from the capital, so successive dynasties have set up a Buddhist hall for spiritual seats in the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace to serve as the imperial temple. Usually, it is closed , people are not allowed to enter without permission, I went secretly back then. Now there is no need to go here. In this harem, no one dares to stop us except the emperor."

Xie Fanghua thought for a while, and said, "Since it is the ancestral hall in the palace, it should not disturb the tranquility."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The ancestral hall is in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Garden, and the Phoenix Terrace is the outer viewing platform. We will not hinder the quietness of our ancestors."

Xie Fanghua saw that the Queen Mother was very interested, and nodded, "That's fine."

Seeing that she agreed, the queen mother was very happy, and quickly asked Si Hua and others to change Xie Fanghua into a queen's formal attire.

Shi Hua and others carefully helped Xie Fanghua take a bath, freshen up and change clothes.

After tidying up, before going out, Koizumi came here in a hurry. When he saw the queen mother, he was immediately happy, "The emperor really guessed it correctly, saying that the queen mother will definitely come to take Miss Fanghua to the Phoenix Terrace of the Forbidden Garden to watch the ceremony. The servant came to ask, but now it seems that there is no need to ask."

The queen mother laughed when she heard the words, "He was so busy with the enthronement ceremony that he still cared about me taking Miss Fanghua to the Phoenix Terrace?" After saying that, she smiled and said, "Yes, we are going. What orders does the emperor have? ?”

Koizumi smiled and said, "The emperor ordered the servant to say that if the two of you go to the Phoenix Terrace to watch the ceremony, let the servant send someone to clean up the Phoenix Terrace first. The ceremony will take a long time, so that the two of you will not be uncomfortable watching the ceremony."

"It's really thoughtful." The queen mother smiled and waved her hands, "Okay, let's get ready! We'll go there later."

Koizumi responded and ran out immediately.

"Although the Forbidden Garden has been cleaned by people, it has been eroded by wind and rain for many years. It's nothing more than a view, but it's really not comfortable. It's because the emperor cared about you and arranged in advance. Now we can really watch the emperor's enthronement ceremony in comfort. "The queen mother said to Xie Fanghua with a smile.

Xie Fanghua smiled and didn't answer.

The Empress Dowager took Xie Fanghua out of the room, and a group of court ladies and eunuchs walked towards the forbidden garden of the imperial palace.

When the two came to the Forbidden Garden of the Imperial Palace, Koizumi had followed Qin Yu's order first, opened the door of the Forbidden Garden, ordered people to clean the inside, and arranged for them to be arranged.

Especially on the Phoenix Terrace, there are tents with fragrant phoenix tails, beauty chairs, tables and chairs, refreshments, and fruit plates.

Koizumi saw the two coming, and greeted them respectfully, "Everything is ready, the emperor said, the servants don't need to go to serve, just serve the Queen Mother and Miss Fanghua here."

"I don't need you here, let's go to the front, in case the emperor doesn't have a close waiter, and others may not be able to handle it well, and it won't be easy to use." The queen mother waved her hand.

Koizumi nodded and took orders to go to the front hall.

The Queen Mother and Xie Fanghua went to the Phoenix Terrace together.

The Phoenix Terrace has a hundred steps, which is one section higher than the Lingque Terrace.

When the queen mother walked halfway, she glanced down and shook her body. Xie Fanghua immediately reached out to support her. Seeing that she was covered in sweat and her face was a little pale, she asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

The queen mother shook her head, "Are you really old? Back then, I climbed up in one breath, afraid of being discovered. After watching for a while, I quickly climbed down again. I am waiting for the emperor to be the queen. Now it is 20 years old. , After all, it’s too late, and I’m only halfway there, and I’m dizzy.”

"Otherwise, don't go up, it is indeed a bit high." Xie Fanghua said.

The queen mother shook her head, "No, Yu'er's accession to the throne is a big deal. I have to see it with my own eyes. For so many years, our mother and son have fought each other in the palace. His, but he is still worried, fearing that something will happen. Now that he is finally looking forward to it, how can he not see it with his own eyes?"

"Then I'll support you, be careful." Xie Fanghua said.

The Queen Mother nodded, let Xie Fanghua support her, and walked up to the Phoenix Terrace step by step.

The Phoenix Terrace is not only tens of feet high, but also has a very favorable geographical location. Standing on it, one can indeed have a panoramic view of the entire imperial palace.

The enthronement ceremony is going on, musicians play music, and all officials enter the hall to congratulate one by one.

Outside the Golden Luan Hall, there is a grand scene.

The enthronement of an emperor is a major event, and the ostentation prepared by the Ministry of Rites is naturally extremely spectacular.

The queen mother wiped off her sweat and looked towards the direction of the Jinluan Hall with a gratified smile on her face.

Half an hour later, all the officials entered the Golden Luan Hall together with the new emperor.

The Empress Dowager retracted her eyes and said with a smile, "I can't see the situation in the palace anymore, but it will take at most an hour. After the ceremony, it's time to seal the Empress Dowager."

Xie Fanghua nodded.

The Empress Dowager said, "Let's go down. When you turn around, you can rest for a while so that you can go to the front hall."

Xie Fanghua looked away from the front, and said to the Queen Mother, "I think you are tired, let someone help you back to the palace to rest. The scenery here is very beautiful, I will sit for a while, anyway, it is still early, I will go later front hall."

The queen mother thought for a while, "That's fine, I'm old and useless, you can stay here for a while, but don't miss the auspicious time."

Xie Fanghua nodded.
