The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1172 Competing for the rear position (29)
Probably because of the hurry to leave just now, Concubine Jing's breath was a little unsteady, and she said worriedly: "I heard that a girl died in Concubine Yi's palace, and Doctor Gu was involved. The emperor sent a summons, probably because he wanted concubines to come After finding out about this matter, I just don’t know what’s going on with Imperial Physician Gu now? Did the empress come out of the imperial study?”

In front of outsiders, Concubine Jing always politely called her imperial concubine. Although she was unfamiliar on the surface, she couldn't hide the concern in her eyes. Qingchen nodded and said, "Sister, go, doctor Gu is fine. After going to the emperor, I will naturally explain it to you. The troubles caused by those people, but I want my sister to clean up the mess, thank you for your hard work."

Concubine Jing said gently: "What did you say, it's okay for the concubine to work harder. Anyway, in the end, she has to bear the troubles of whoever makes the trouble. For those who have to dig her own grave, the concubine will help her seal it." The grave is fine too."

This is not the place to talk, Qingchen urged with a knowing smile: "I understand, the emperor is still waiting for my sister, my sister should go first, don't make him wait too long, if there is anything, let's talk about it later."

Concubine Jing respectfully blessed the body again, "The concubine sent off the empress respectfully, and the concubine resigned."

Qingchen put down the curtain, got up again in the sedan chair and went back to the palace.

At dusk, Concubine Jing sent someone to send a message to Qing Chen, saying that she did not find the guard with the wound on her hand. Qing Chen already guessed that it was probably the work of a dark man raised by the Ning Mansion who sneaked into the palace. Maybe she would never leave the palace, so she ordered Yunlan to tell Shu Xuan to protect Gu Yunfeng secretly outside the palace.

In mid-October, the emperor ordered to drive back to the palace, and at the same time set the date for the Queen's Sealing Ceremony.

Due to the tight schedule, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already started preparations three months ago, but after returning from the palace, everything has to be dealt with again. Concubine Jing is very busy, except for coming to Duanyang Palace to return to important matters , it is even more difficult to set foot on.

On the day of the Queen's Sealing Ceremony, Qingchen got up to take a bath and change clothes from Maoshi. Behind the three screens, Dianyi, Dianyi, Dianxi and other close maids Shi filed in. Wrapped in cotton towels, and a variety of bath products.The six aunts and aunts folded their sleeves and stood silently by the side.The room was very quiet, only the sound of water splashing in the bathtub painted with red sandalwood and golden dragons and phoenixes could be heard, and the fragrance was overflowing in the transpiration of the water mist.This kind of fighting power shows the queen's dignity and unparalleled.

The ceremonial mother in charge of the hairpin tied up her cloud-like blue silk thinly, and each wore a nine-tailed ruby ​​and phoenix east pearl hairpin on the left and right, supplemented by a red gold hairpin with a lotus leaf and auspicious cloud pattern full of ponds, symbolizing the centuries-old marriage between the emperor and empress.Four golden unicorn and phoenix pattern Ruyi hairpins, and two golden silk peony hairpins inlaid with jewels, tied up with the last strand of blue silk, and solemnly put the dragon, phoenix, and east bead crown on her head.

Her skin is snow-covered, her eyebrows are even and deep, her cheeks are smudged like peach blossoms, and she feels a little heavy when she is wrapped in seven layers of complicated court clothes, but she will also take the burden of motherhood from now on.

At three quarters of the hour, the queen came out of the Duanyang Palace surrounded by the crowd. The complicated court clothes were dragged all the way, the pearls and jades were heavy, the pearl tassels hung down from the phoenix crown, and the flowers were swaying and swaying.

As soon as the golden-threaded phoenix turned back and the pearl stepped out of the threshold, Qingchen, amidst the cloud-like retinue and dazzling guard of honor, saw at a glance the sixteen bright yellow queen's phoenix chariot, with decorations on both sides of the car roof. The carving of the red gold phoenix spreading its wings shines brightly in the bright autumn sun.Pearl Ruyi tassels hang from the four corners of the phoenix chariot, and the car curtains are woven with gold threads, and various auspicious and wishful patterns are outlined with silver threads. When the breeze comes, the car curtains shake gently and shine brightly in the sun.

The two masters of ceremonies raised the curtain of the sedan chair, and Qingchen supported Yun Lan's hand, and sat in the sedan chair dignifiedly.

The emperor's chariot canopy, the emperor's dragon chariot is in front, the queen's phoenix chariot is behind, the king's flag is fluttering, and the servants are like clouds. Under the protection of three thousand imperial guards, they are heading for the Taimiao.

It wasn't the first time Qingchen came to the Taimiao to be conferred, but the mood at that time was completely incomparable with today's. He couldn't tell how excited he was, but was more emotional.

When they arrived at the Tai Temple, the phoenix chariot stopped under the main hall, and the two masters of ceremonies respectfully bent over and raised the sedan chair curtain, and helped her get off the phoenix chariot.When Qingchen saw the Taimiao today, it seemed to be more indescribably majestic than when she was a concubine.The dragon is on the vermilion beams, the phoenix is ​​soaring to the clouds, and the majestic and towering palace city is as if it is in the sky.

The emperor went to the main hall to worship his ancestors, and Qingchen waited for the auspicious time in the side hall.

At Sishi, the drums and music outside the hall were loud, and Madam Si Li took her out of the side hall, and went to the main hall to perform the empress canonization ceremony.

Stepping out of the threshold, he saw 36 court ladies in front, each holding whisks, incense balls, and Ruyi leading the way. Apart from Yun Lan and Jin Xiu, there were four palace ladies accompanying him, and 36 attendants followed behind him.

The 99 steps soared into the sky. Qingchen walked towards Yunlan holding Yunlan's hand. Looking up, he couldn't see the face of the emperor clearly. He could only see the circles embroidered with fine gold thread on his black twelve-chapter dragon-patterned crown robe. The dragon cloud pattern shines brightly in the sun.

Xiao Jun looked at her condescendingly, seeing her graceful and dignified, holding the maid's hand, and slowly climbing up the steps, there seemed to be strange emotions flashing across the deep eyes of the emperor.

Finally, the day came. What he had always wanted to give to her in his heart was finally going to be handed over to her.

He remembered that when he was a child, she was around him, calling his name so crisply, her eyes were so bright, and on her baby-fat face, she had a sweet smile and was spotless, not at all suspicious and treacherous like the women in the palace.Every time I saw her smile, it seemed to heal all the pain he suffered.

I remembered when I first entered the palace, that yellow-haired girl with clean clothes and disheveled hair, who looked like a frightened deer, looked at him with such vigilant eyes, and refused to go to bed even if she died.

Thinking of her simple clothes like a maid in the imperial garden, kneeling on the ground, being punished and having to swallow her anger, she looked so pitiful.

Thinking of her almost dying on the steps in front of her when she became a concubine, thinking of her pain of losing her child, how she left the palace in pain...

Thinking of her grand ceremonies and sacrifices, the innocence of a young girl has faded away, and she has begun to have the elegance and elegance of a concubine.

Thinking of the time when the palace changed, she fought desperately with Xiao Hong, and almost crashed to death on the golden nanmu coffin...

Thinking of when she returned to the palace, although her eyes were not as clear as before, she was still filled with tears of gratitude...

Over the years, the little things we have walked hand in hand flashed in the emperor's mind. So many setbacks and sufferings, so many narrow escapes, it was all because of each other's belief that each other persisted, so they endured strong Come on, now the world belongs to him, and the position beside him can only be hers.
