Chapter 517 Banquet Disturbance 1
Hu Qingmei is charming and charming, with a variety of styles, with her beautiful appearance, graceful figure, and excellent dancing skills, she has won the emperor's favor.Since she entered the palace, the emperor seldom visited other concubines and stayed in Huachen Palace almost every night.

On the second day after Hu Qingmei entered the palace, she was named a beauty; on the ninth day of entering the palace, she was named Zhaoyi; after 21 days in the palace, she was promoted from Zhaoyi to Xianfei.Now that Hu Qingmei has only been in the palace for more than half a year, the emperor has made Hu Qingmei the imperial concubine.

Before that, Nanyue Kingdom did not have the title of imperial concubine, only noble concubine.The position of noble concubine is already very high, it is below the queen and above all concubines.In order to please Hu Qingmei, the emperor deliberately added the word "imperial" before "imperial concubine".

The emperor advertised this widely to let the people in the world know that he loves Hu Qingmei infinitely.

Canonization as an imperial concubine is not a major national event, but a matter of the harem, and the concubine canonization ceremony has never been really held in Nanyue Kingdom.In order to flatter, Yuan Qingpu contacted many ministers and jointly wrote a proposal, requesting a grand and enthusiastic canonization ceremony.

This is exactly what the emperor wanted.

He ordered Yousi to choose an auspicious day and prepare a book of ceremonies.

For the sake of solemnity, the emperor appointed Dongfang Fan, a political advisor, to concurrently serve as the envoy of the Imperial Concubine's Book of Etiquette. He and Yuan Qingpu formed a preparatory team. Note".

The auspicious day chosen by Si Tianjian finally arrived.

The day before conferring the imperial concubine, the emperor sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to offer sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth and the Ancestral Temple, and went to the Fengxian Hall to salute in person.

The next day, Luan Yiwei Chen tried to drive Lubo outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and displayed the imperial concubine's ceremony under the palace steps and outside the palace gate; the music department under the Ministry of Rites hung musical instruments outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then the Ministry of Rites and officials set up The festival case is located in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony facing south, the book case is located in the left-west direction, the jade case is in the right-east direction, and the two dragon pavilions are located inside the cabinet gate.

The internal supervisor set Dan Bile in the palace gate, and the festival table was in the middle of the palace, both facing south. The treasure table was set on both sides of the palace gate (east-west direction), and the imperial concubine worshiped in front of the incense table.

When the auspicious time came, the officials of the Ministry of Rites placed the gold book, gold treasure, book inscription, and treasure inscription in the Dragon Pavilion.
In a solemn atmosphere, the imperial concubine came in full phoenix, stopped at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, knelt down and saluted in front of the festival case, record case, and jade case respectively, listened to the officials of the Ministry of Rites recite the texts, and received gold books and gold treasures.After a set of cumbersome ceremonies that are difficult to describe in detail, the imperial concubine accepted the letter of congratulations and congratulations from the wives inside and outside, and then thanked the emperor and empress, and all the officials expressed their congratulations.

The grand and solemn appointment ceremony has just come to an end.
