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

Chapter 966 Birthday (22)
Qingchen hurriedly knelt down at the bottom of the steps, Fuquan took out the imperial decree that had been prepared, took a step forward, stood high on the steps and read aloud: "Following the emperor's decree of Chengyun, since ancient times, emperors, prudent, simple and virtuous, prepared the palace, and Assist in internal affairs. Today's side concubine, Mu's family, is soft and beautiful, gentle and kind, and makes Fan Kezhao and Shuyi plain. Filial piety is as good as Chenghuan, and kindness is evident in the arrest. The harmony of harmony and admiration, and the restraint of courtesy. Respect In the festival of the late night, I am slack in diligence. I respect the empress dowager's benevolent order, and I will only follow the benevolent training, and seal her as an imperial concubine with a book seal. I respect this."

Qingchen raised his hands above his head, took the imperial decree handed over by Fuquan, and respectfully said: "My concubine, thank the Lord for your kindness."

Afterwards, the emperor took the gold seal and gold book from the ceremony officer and handed it to her in person. Fuquan said loudly from the side: "Because today is the emperor's Christmas, I hereby grant the decree of grace first, and then choose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to the Taimiao. All the officials congratulate you on entering the ceremony."

It was only now that Qingchen realized that the emperor had already prepared for it, even the golden seal had already been made, so how could he make a temporary decision?

Helplessly sighed, the matter is over, everything is up to him.Yun Lan handed over the gold book and gold seal behind her, and walked up Danchi hand in hand with the emperor, turned around and saw more than half of the officials prostrate on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, imperial concubine, thousand years, thousand years... ..."

Qingchen's stern gaze swept across the crowd, and finally settled on those other group of people whose bodies were stiff and unyielding, kneeling straight there, refusing to kneel down and worship.And Qin Tianxu and Lin Qingshan, the two pillars of the imperial court, after a short period of shock, have reached a tacit agreement to pretend to be deaf and dumb and refuse to worship.Behind the two of them, some people are timid and hesitant, while some are firm and always follow their decision.

A flash of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Jun's eyes, and he became gentle again in an instant. He didn't care about the disrespect of these people, took Qingchen to his seat, and said with a peaceful smile: "Everyone, let's live in peace."

There was a rustle of clothes in the hall, and then there was no movement again.

As the Empress Dowager's elder brother, the Emperor's uncle, and the head of the important ministers, Qin Tianxu came out and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is the same as the deputy empress, and she has come to establish herself in the country. Although I have this title, there is no virtuous person who can With this honor, Jin Feng..."

"Lord Qin, didn't you hear the imperial decree just now? This is not what I meant, but what the Queen Mother meant. If Lord Qin has any dissatisfaction, go and protest with the Queen Mother. I just obeyed the Queen Mother Yi's decree to entrust the Jin Dynasty. That's all."

The emperor ignored Qin Tianxu's livid face, and continued: "Since entering the palace, the imperial concubine has been loved by the empress dowager. Before that, he intended to promote concubine Chen as an imperial concubine. Didn't Lord Qin know about it? Now the empress dowager is seriously ill, and the imperial concubine Even day and night, she dared not slack off, serving in front of the bed personally, never daring to be halfhearted. The Empress Dowager is grateful for her filial piety, and hereby makes an exception to issue a decree for the Jin Dynasty. How can I be disobedient and disobey her old man's will? I know that my uncle and Lord Lin are here What are you worried about, but the imperial concubine is humble and gentle, and the empress appreciates her very much, she will definitely become the right-hand man of the central palace in the future, sharing the empress' worries, the two adults can rest assured."

Lin Qingshan was not as excited as Qin Tianxu. Although his face was not good-looking, he still asked calmly: "The emperor said that he was following the Queen Mother's order. If so, then he should inform the front and rear palaces in advance to discuss this matter together. But why didn't the Empress mention this matter before? It's a big deal to be named an imperial concubine, how could you make such a hasty decision?"

Before Lin Qingshan finished speaking, there was a voice of second opinion behind him, "Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiao Jun's face sank and he said nothing.

At this time Mu Jingzhi came out and said: "Lord Lin, the imperial decree has been issued, do you still want to force the emperor to take it back? Since the emperor said that it was the empress dowager's order, would he still lie? And the conferment of the harem is the emperor's own. There is really no need to talk about family matters, you and I, all you need to do is follow the holy will and congratulate the empress."

The corners of Qingchen's mouth raised slightly. Now that she is in the court, at least the Mu family will definitely protect her interests. Since Mu Jingzhi opened her mouth, there will be people who will agree with her later. Qingchen has already seen that when she knelt just now, The emperor's power is equal to that of the Qin and Lin families, so in this war of words, the emperor may not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Sure enough, I saw Xue Tao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, come out and said gently: "Your Majesty, the canonization of the imperial concubine is different from the establishment of the empress. The establishment of the empress is a major national event, so it must be carefully considered. If the empress dowager can take on this important task, then no one else can blame her. The empress dowager has lived in the harem for a long time, so she is very clear about the empress's character. Since the old man thinks it is appropriate to give such a great grace, and the emperor agrees, the ministers and others have no objection. "

Fu Guang, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, also came out to agree: "I think Master Xue's words are very reasonable. Both the Empress Dowager and the Central Palace agree with this matter. It is enough to see that the empress is so virtuous that the sun and the moon can shine. It is the blessing of the middle palace, the minister agrees with the emperor's decision and has no objection."

After Fu Guang, a large group of people came out to second the proposal, but a considerable number of people insisted that this matter should be considered carefully before making a decision.

There were endless quarrels in the court hall, Qingchen sat quietly on the phoenix chair of the imperial concubine, and watched with cold eyes that these people were trying their best to fight for their own interest groups regardless of their image. , It turned out to be such a face.

Turning his head to look at the emperor, he saw Xiao Jun's expression was as frosty as a cage, and his eyes were cold and frightening.

Qingchen stayed with him so quietly for an unknown how long, when the emperor got up, held her hand, left everyone and walked away.

And the ministers in the hall, still unconscious at the moment, were still arguing endlessly, until someone found out that the emperor was gone, and the noise gradually quieted down, and then saw Fuquan take out another imperial edict and read aloud: "The empress dowager There is a decree, the concubine Mu's family is respectful and Shuhui, and her filial piety becomes..."

After reading the imperial decree, Fuquan raised his head high, walked in front of Qin Tianxu expressionlessly and said, "Master Qin, this is the imperial decree from the empress dowager, please take a look, it is covered with the phoenix seal of the empress dowager."

Qin Tianxu was surprised to take the one that was not yet the future, and to distinguish the authenticity, Lin Qingshan snatched it away. Fuquan snorted softly, turned around and left quickly to chase the emperor.

On that edict, there is indeed a phoenix seal affixed by the empress dowager. Perhaps no one except the emperor and empress dowager knows how this edict came about.

After serving the emperor for breakfast, Xiao Jun was going to meet the envoys from various countries, so Qing Chen took Yun Lan to Yongshou Palace.

Today she was canonized as an imperial concubine, Qingchen believed that the Empress Dowager must have known about this before.Even if the emperor is hiding it from anyone, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from his ancestors.
