Chapter 375
A few days later, the Empress Conferment Ceremony was held on the same day as Nian Yaoyue's Concubine Conferment Ceremony.

The second day was the canonization ceremony for the concubines in the harem.

The canonization ceremony involved kneeling and worshiping. Nian Yaoyue was pregnant with the fourth master's first son after he ascended the throne, so he was naturally regarded as the object of protection, so the fourth master specially avoided these red tapes.

She was only allowed to stay in Yikun Palace to accept the etiquette of princesses and concubines ordering wives to salute.

Apart from the queen, she is the only concubine in the harem who has this honor.

Those court wives Zong Ji with status are all discerning people.

The other concubines could be ignored, but almost all of them treated Nian Guifei with respect and humility to the bottom of their hearts.

After working in Yikun Palace for a whole day, Nian Yaoyue changed out of the thick imperial concubine's auspicious clothes.

Today, after the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, the Respect Room began to send the concubines' green cards to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to turn over the cards for Fourth Master.

Everyone is looking forward to whose green card the Long Live Lord will be the first to turn over.

In Yikun Palace, Nian Yaoyue had asked people to lock the palace gate ahead of time, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

She knew fourth master well, tonight fourth master would only stay overnight in the Zhongcui Palace where the empress was.

She doesn't want to be treated as a living target, even though she is now No.1 in the harem.

Sure enough, after a while, Jinyu came to report that Lord Long Live had gone to the Queen's Palace.

Nian Yaoyue just smiled indifferently and asked Jinyu to turn off the lights.

Early the next morning, Nian Yao was woken up by Jin Yu before dawn.

The rules in the harem are more complicated than those in the palace.

The lives of concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty were very rigid. There were extremely strict rules on what they could do and what they could not do, and what time to do what.

Want to sleep in?That is simply impossible!
At this time, it was just dawn, around five o'clock, Nian Yaoyue was already sitting sleepily in front of the dressing table.

Like a rag doll, let Jinyu and Nanny Lan dress up.

The makeup of the concubines can't be painted casually, and there are strict requirements for who uses what decorations according to the different levels.

It's not like the later generations, as long as you have money, you can use whatever you want.

The next step is to dress and go out. In the Forbidden City, wearing the wrong clothes will really kill you! !
No matter what level you are, you can only wear clothes of the style and color of this level, and once you exceed it, you will be a dead end.

Nian Yaoyue wore an elegant and clean lotus-colored flag dress today, and combed her hair elegantly.

Because she was pregnant, she sat on her shoulders proudly and rushed to Ningshou Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

The fourth master originally didn't let her get up early to pay her respects, but now Yixian is in charge of the sixth palace, Nian Yaoyue can't let Yixian's majesty be swept away.

She is the head of all the concubines, so naturally she must follow the lead of the queen.

The daily morning wake-up time starts at six in the morning. First, the empress leads the harem concubines to greet the empress dowager and sit with Xiao Cheng.

At this time, Empress Yixian led a group of concubines to Ningshou Palace where Wu Yashi lived.

Seeing all the concubines including the empress knelt in front of Wu Yashi, only Nian Yaoyue stood out from the crowd and stood upright.

She smiled slightly, and slowly knelt down behind Yixian.

Seeing Nianshi prostrate in front of her, Wu Yashi's livid face suddenly softened a little.

She began to talk about some old things to remind everyone in the harem, from women to women's training, and to talk about women's biographies.Just don't let people get up.

Nian Yaoyue knew that Wu Yashi was trying to trick her on purpose, and gave her a bad blow.

She also had a smile on her face, kneeling patiently and obediently. After all, she was her own mother-in-law, and she would not be lazy in any of the duties that a daughter-in-law should do.

Wu Yashi wanted to take advantage of Nianshi's fault with that bastard to show her off, but finally found that Nianshi was very quiet.

In order not to leave behind the reputation of being a wicked mother-in-law who treats concubines harshly, the Wu Ya family can only make people get up.

The more she saw Nian's pretending to be gentle and virtuous, the angrier she became.Simply out of sight.

"Queen! From now on, you can just come and pay your respects to the Ai family. The Ai family likes to be quiet, and people will be dazzled by the sight of so many people, and you will have a severe headache."

"My daughter-in-law obeys the emperor's edict~"

Yixian groaned in her heart, if she, the empress, could also be spared the courtesy of paying her respects to the empress dowager, it would be great!

After greeting the empress dowager, the empress led the concubines back to the central palace, led by the highest-ranking concubines in the harem, to greet the empress.

Waking up in the morning is an extremely serious matter, and the empress dowager and empress who are greeting each other need to sit upright and serious.

Therefore, there is no such thing as whispering or anything. At most, after the greetings are over, the concubine who has a good relationship with the queen can stay and say a few words.

It was time for breakfast after the others had finished paying their respects, and when it came to eating, Nian Yaoyue really wanted to blow up the imperial dining room! !
The raw materials for the meals of the concubines, such as several catties of rice, pork, chickens, and even Chinese cabbage, are all fixed throughout the year. The imperial chef is even more emotionally operated on the assembly line, and the taste can be imagined.

So before she entered the palace, she was trying to expand the small kitchen, and she must bring some of her favorite Jiangnan chefs!

After breakfast is free time.

But because the concubines are not allowed to leave the palace, they can only wander around in this palace, which is not big or small, and many places are not allowed to go.

Therefore, for these concubines, they can only spend the day by painting, writing, listening to operas, etc.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to go to sleep, and it was time to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

After the routine greetings, the concubines obediently waited in their bedroom for the emperor to turn over his cards.

Those who found the sign were naturally overjoyed, while those who didn't find it could only go to bed early.

In this way, the concubines ended their daily lives, and followed this process the next day, repeating it again and again.

Although the days are leisurely, such days are predictable. What will happen next every day is very clear, and there are no surprises at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of life without worrying about food and clothing may be very leisurely and contented, but this kind of life can only be short-term.

When a person repeats the same boring life for one month, two months, one year, two years or even ten years, 20 years.

No matter how normal a person is, he will feel that this is a kind of torture, a kind of mental torture.

After dinner, the eunuch in the respect room came to inform that Lord Long Live had flipped her sign today.

At the beginning of the year, Yao was still very happy, but when he saw the big blanket in the hands of the eunuch in the respect room, he suddenly couldn't laugh.

She doesn't want to be a zongzi!
"Can't I walk to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in my clothes to serve the Lord Long Live?"

Zhou Fuhai, the Chief Eunuch of the Respect Room, is the empress dowager's confidant, at this time bowed his waist and shook his head respectfully: "Back to the imperial concubine, except for the empress, the rest of the concubines must follow the ancestor's rules~"

The empress dowager has already explained that Nian is the only one in the harem who is the most arrogant and domineering, so he must learn the rules.

In this harem, the empress dowager is the most honorable and most powerful master.

"Go and remove Ben Gong's green card!!"
