Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 498
It has been a long time since Xiguo had a situation where the emperor and empress were in the same dynasty.

The first morning court after the national mourning.

Emperor Xi Tang Xi brought Empress Shenyou to represent his position.

Baiguan saw the seat above, which was originally a huge Xihuangrong, leaning on it alone, dozing off most of the time like a decoration.

Later, when the new emperor came to the throne, although he always pretended to be calm, his immature expression and stiff hands and feet still made people feel that he could be bullied and weak.

Xiguo did not have a monarchy system before.

Only later, when the imperial power gradually weakened, did this new system come into being.

For a long time, the four gentlemen ruled the country, and the emperor was just a display.

Now there are only three of the four gentlemen left, but the new emperor is still immature, the emperor died again, and the queen mother Gui went to guard the tomb.

All the courtiers didn't need to think about it, they just felt that the Yin family might still dominate the situation in the future.

The Empress Dowager Gui went to guard the mausoleum, and the words she said before leaving made it difficult for everyone to mention the matter of abolishing the Empress. After all, no one can bear the responsibility of forcing the Empress Dowager to death.

Of the three reasons for the abolition, the first two are far-fetched, natural disasters and the death of the Supreme Emperor, even if it is hard to blame the empress, there will be more than one princess.

Only the third item can be regarded as a problem for ordinary people.

Let alone the royal family.

It's just that at this time, the emperor and empress keep their filial piety, so pregnancy is naturally impossible.

If during this period, a famous doctor is invited to recuperate the body, it will be fine in the future.

In short, this time the turmoil of the abolition of the empress is over, and the tough attitude of the empress dowager Gui expresses the attitude of the royal family.

All the courtiers did not dare to persecute him too hard.

It is said that Emperor Xi has always been in name only, but after so many years, he has not been replaced by anyone, so he must still have a trump card.

It's just that there are still some courtiers who are thoughtful, thinking that they can always be concubines instead of empresses. Now there is still Concubine Xu in the palace, but it is a pity that Concubine Xu gave birth to a daughter back then. If it was a son, what would happen to Emperor Xi now.

All the ministers have different thoughts.

Some people looked at the face-to-face boy who was in the same position in the row.

Xiguo's official uniforms are gorgeous, using the best fabrics.

The inner layer is woolen cloth, which is warm in winter and fits next to the body. The outer layer is made of silk, with delicate and beautiful patterns.

So the last time Empress Dowager Gui said that everyone's clothes belonged to the Lu family, and she was right.

The people of Xiguo have always worshiped those who are good at businessmen, and Yin Jun's position as the number one is also because he is invincible in business.

Before the funeral that day, the young man was very busy, but no one remembered him.

There are some vague impressions, but not very deep, faint, hard to remember.

It was not until the Empress Dowager Gui mentioned this person that all the courtiers went to look for him.

Take a look, that is to say, the handsome young man, of course, is completely incomparable with the beauty of Queen Shenyou, and he is not very similar.

It is heard that the four brothers and sisters of the Lu family are all adopted by Concubine Luo and have no blood relationship.

It has to be said that Luo Fei has a good eye, or is good at educating children. The four adopted sons, except for the elder brother, the other three are very famous.

But in front of him, the young man in Xiguo's official robe has a calm demeanor, not dazzling at all, not nervous at all, not at all flustered like entering the court for the first time.

The dark blue official's body is full of flowers and a little red.

Being able to wear dark blue is already a high level.

When you first enter the officialdom, you usually wear black. Although black is also very gorgeous, the distinction between different colors still represents the level.

I don't know how many years it will take to replace the black official uniform with blue.

But some people are dressed in blue clothes as soon as they come.

There was no smile on the young man's face, he was very calm, neither happy nor arrogant.

It's like coming to the court thousands of times.

It won't make people feel too enthusiastic, and it won't make people feel uncomfortable.

The court meeting of Xiguo people feels more relaxed.

The empress hadn't appeared yet, and their chat became more and more heated.

From the pork shop on the street to the icebergs in Jingguo, from the icebergs in Jingguo to the wild climate, from the wild climate to the prices in Shenguo, when you want to talk about the prices in Shenguo, the clock rang .

The emperor and empress arrived.

A little later than usual.

Xi Guo's court meeting was originally later than Shen Guo's, so there was no need for officials to get up in the middle of the night and rush to the palace.

You just need to get up at dawn and come over early after eating.

When everyone heard the bell, they finally calmed down and didn't say anything more. Anyway, it's the same as talking again later, and there is no rush.

Emperor Xi walked forward.

Everyone first saw Emperor Xi's appearance, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, but his eyes were still a little red and swollen.

In terms of pure filial piety, Emperor Xi is still recognized by all officials.

Xiguo recommends officials, one of which is filial piety.

Emperor Xi walked a few steps, stopped, but turned around, waiting for his queen.

Then walk side by side.

The new queen, all the ministers met on the day when the queen was established, and at the funeral.

When she stood up, she wore a phoenix crown and a grand phoenix robe dress, which was very gorgeous, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could vaguely see her peerless beauty.

During the funeral, the plain sackcloth also caught everyone's attention, but the funeral was inconvenient, and all the officials had their own thoughts, so it was not easy to stare at her.

Today, the new queen is wearing a normal court dress, a phoenix robe.

It was not as complicated and grand as the day after Lihou, but it was more formal than the funeral.

The pale golden phoenix robe, with phoenix birds flying on it, the robe reaches to the feet.

Legend has it that Empress Xin likes to wear boots, and even kicked Shen Guo's censor.

Someone quietly looked at the feet, but they couldn't see what was being worn underneath.

Women in Xiguo like to have small feet, and their feet are a hidden part of their bodies. Their robes are a little too long, and they even wear floor-length robes on formal occasions.

The skirts of ordinary people will be relatively short, so it is convenient to do things.

Looking at the length of a woman's skirt is sometimes one of the criteria for judging the quality of the other party.

Basically, the longer the skirt, the better the condition.

The new skirt covers the feet, and the shoes inside cannot be seen. Whether it is big feet or not, it cannot be seen.

But the new queen is tall.

When they walked side by side with Emperor Xi, they were almost the same height, but the new queen was even taller when viewed alone.

Emperor Xi sat on the dragon chair, with a chair next to him.

The shape is similar, but the pattern on it is a phoenix.

Both chairs are large.

After Emperor Xi sat on it, he turned to look at Brother Yu beside him. Although the chairs were side by side, there was a distance between the two of them because the chair was too big.

He moved his buttocks, leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, just pretend that all the servants are melons."

The faces of the three gentlemen standing in the front twitched.

Back then, Emperor Xi was very rich. In order to make it easier for the emperor to speak, so that the people below could hear it without too much effort, he specially hired a very powerful carpenter to make equipment similar to the sound amplification effect.

Sitting on the dragon chair and speaking, it will be a little louder.

Shenyou smiled and nodded.

She was not nervous. In her opinion, this court meeting was the same as the enlarged version of the former Baigu Village.

She was still a little bean, and she couldn't even sit still, so she was carried to the top to listen to the meeting.

Naturally, I won't be nervous now.

I just feel fat and nervous.

Holding the chair with one hand, the legs covered by the front decoration were actually shaking all the time.

Shenyou also moved towards him, and the hand under the big sleeve grabbed his hand.

Feel the sweat in his palms.

Yes, Emperor Xi is very fat and nervous.

The father, queen, and queen are no longer around.

What if the courtiers talk about abolishing the queen?What if you say something that he can't accept?
He turned his head to look at Shenyou, and saw that Shenyou was sitting very quietly and steadily, just like when he was studying in Shen Xuegong.

It's just that it's women's clothes at the moment, with long hair and shawls, neat and cute.

It's a pity that the sun can't shine here, if it can, you should be able to see the shadow of Brother Yu's eyelashes covering his face.

Brother Yu pinched the palm of his hand.

Emperor Xi finally regained his senses and turned to look at the court.

Hundreds of officials gathered together, and Brother Lu was among them.

At least there is a figure he is familiar with.

Shi Daban announced the beginning of the court meeting, and all the officials presented the memorials to be reported. If there was no major matter to be dealt with at the court, they usually went through the process and waited for the memorials to come out before discussing.

But just when everyone thought they were about to retire, Emperor Xi suddenly announced an imperial decree.

"Yin Xiong, the youngest son of the Yin family in Xiguo, is loyal, filial and brave. He performed well in the battle of Huiyuan Town. He is specially bestowed with the position of scholar-bureaucrat."

A scholar-bureaucrat is not considered a real job, but his status is honorable, and he can start a school, and the gentlemen in the past all served as scholar-officials first.

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the meaning of Emperor Xi's doing was, was it to compromise with Lord Yin in order not to abolish him?
Could it be that in the future, the Yin family will produce two gentlemen at the same time?
