The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 150
Zhenghe Palace has always been the sleeping palace of Luoshui emperors. I don't know how many generations of emperors were born here, and I don't know how many generations of emperors died here.

During the mourning period, Chang Wei lived in the Zhai Palace, and made a trip to Zhenghe Palace in the middle.Both inside and outside the palace have been tidied up, resplendent and resplendent, and there is no trace of the blood and death that once happened here.

Chang Ji looked at the entrance of the hall for a while, then turned around and came out, ordering people to seal the Zhenghe Palace.She chose to live in the Zhengjing Hall behind Shanghe Palace.

Although the Zhengjing Palace is not as magnificent as the Zhenghe Palace, it is the closest to the Shanghe Palace where the court meeting is held, and it is convenient for early morning worship.Moreover, there are two inner and outer halls in the Zhengjing Hall, and the front can handle political affairs. The inner hall is divided into a cool hall and a warm hall.It's just that the later emperor built the Zhenghe Palace for pleasure.

Chang Ji has always been greedy for coolness, and now he lives in the coolness hall.When she got up in the morning, Tan Qing helped her wash and change her clothes.The Chief Director of the Shangyi Bureau led a group of maids, who brought a dozen or so newly made women's costumes and filed in.

After arriving behind Chang'an, the Chief Secretary knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, this is a new dress made by the Shangyi Bureau according to His Majesty's figure. Your Majesty can see if you like it."

The court ladies all knelt down and lifted the clothes above their heads, asking the elders to look at them and choose them.

Because there has never been a female emperor in Luoshui, the emperor's regular clothes are all men's style.

He neither dared to copy the original ornate badges to women's clothes, nor did he dare to send men's regular clothes directly.

The chief minister thought hard about this, and it was a coincidence that when he went to the library to search for reference books that day, he met Shen She who was wandering in the palace.

Shen She heard his difficulties, rolled his eyes, and gave him an idea: "What's the problem, you use the best fabrics, the most gorgeous patterns, and the most expensive gold, silver and precious stones on the empress." On His Majesty's clothes. Use the best, and there will be no mistakes."

When the director heard it, he suddenly realized.

So at this time, Chang Wei turned his head and saw a dozen or so clothes, all of which were feather clothes, neon clothes, gold thread and silver thread, with gold and jade jewels hanging on them, the golden light was shining and dazzling.If you put it on and stand under the sun, you will be blinded by the flash from ten feet away.

Chang Ji: "This...are clothes for people to wear?"

The director could be mistaken, and hurriedly said: "If your majesty thinks it's not good, I will go and do it again. It's just that Luoshui has never had it..."

At this point, the Chief Secretary hurriedly stopped talking and knelt down: "I... I am stupid, I don't know what to do to be in line with the etiquette, please Your Majesty to decide."

Chang Ji knew his difficulties, thought for a while and said: "I heard that the Empress Dowager has always been frugal, and starting from me today, the clothes and food in the palace are all frugal, and there is no need to be extravagant. My regular clothes are made according to the usual style. , As for the dresses, I will wear whatever the emperor wears in the past. It has nothing to do with men and women. These are too extravagant, take them back to my private treasury, I have other uses."

The director hurriedly responded and led the people away.

Tan Qing dressed her in the mirror and said: "Your Majesty saves the expenses in the palace, but for the food and salary of Shenshan Mansion?"

Chang Ji said: "The financial power of Luoshui is still in the hands of the Cangyu family. I can't raise money, I can only save money. At present, I can only get money first to support the reconstruction of Shenshan Mansion, so that the people of Shenshan can be stable. Come down and resume production, I have tightened my belt here, and I can barely support myself. Besides, the palace has always been extravagant, which has attracted dignitaries from all walks of life to follow suit, so we should also rectify politics."

Tan Qing said with a smile: "With His Majesty taking the lead, who would dare to wear gold and silver. The head of the Shangyi Bureau is also ridiculous. There is no way to make clothes like this with gold and silver."

Chang Ji said: "He is an old man in the palace, how could he not know it in his heart. Most likely he was tricked by someone, and he himself probably wanted to take this opportunity to show his loyalty."

Tan Qing said: "Since the Chief Secretary took the initiative to show his loyalty to His Majesty, and the Shang Palace of the Shangyi Bureau is still vacant, His Majesty might as well reward him, so that he can understand that His Majesty knows his loyalty. Others will know what to do when they see it." How did you do it?"

Chang Ji nodded and said: "Now you are in charge of palace affairs, you can handle these matters at your own discretion."

Just as he was talking, Hong Liaozi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zuo Xiang is seeking to see you outside."

Chang Wei said, "Send her to come in."

Hong Liaozi went away for a while, and then led Nie Chuanzhen in.

Nie Chuanzhen held a few copybooks in his hand, bowed to Chang Ji and said, "I heard that His Majesty is practicing calligraphy recently, so I decided to choose a few copybooks. Your Majesty can see if you like them."

Chang Ji has been blind for so many years. Although he can memorize books backwards and recognize characters by the order of strokes, he has never picked up a pen to write, and it will not take a day to practice it.

Since her eyesight recovered, she has not had a peaceful life, and now she can calm down and practice calligraphy.She is going to ascend the throne soon, and she must be able to write well when reviewing memorials in the future.

While she was in mourning, she practiced as soon as she had time.I don't know when Nie Chuanzhen noticed it, and specially found a copybook for her.

Chang Wei said: "Master Zuo has a heart."

She took the copybook and flipped through it, there were quite a few works by famous masters, she came across a beautiful, full and elegant lower script and couldn't help but look at it for a while and said: "This is the work of a master, the brushwork is steady, unique, so beautiful. "

Nie Chuanzhen said with a smile: "This is my usual graffiti, Your Majesty laughed at it."

Chang Ji couldn't help praising: "I didn't expect Zuo Xiang's calligraphy to be so good."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Your Majesty is absurd."

Chang Wei carefully looked at her copybook, and she looked at Chang Ji with a joyful smile in her eyes.

Chang Wei inadvertently raised his head to meet her eyes, and she avoided her eyes without any trace and said: "Your Majesty will soon ascend the throne, and the marriage contract I made with Prince Nanzhao may be used as an excuse by someone who has a heart. Managed to break off the engagement?"

Chang Ji said: "As for the marriage contract, Prince Nanzhao will have someone to talk about it."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Concubine Shu has already returned to the capital, does Your Majesty want to see her?"

Concubine Shu is Concubine Shu Yang Tuying. Duan Zhi has passed away, and Chang Wei is about to succeed the throne, so she is called the concubine.

Chang Ji thought for a moment and said, "No hurry, it won't be too late to see you after the enthronement ceremony."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "There is one more thing. It is always necessary for a new emperor to grant amnesty when he ascends the throne. I have drawn up a list of pardons. Your Majesty, please have a look."

She took out a memorial from her sleeve, and presented it to Chang Wei respectfully.

Chang Wei was taking it over to look at it, Tan Qing said: "Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast."

The breakfast was placed in the Suixin Pavilion of the Xipian Hall in the front hall. Chang Ji looked at the list and said: "The Zuo Prime Minister came here early in the morning and hasn't eaten the breakfast yet. Let's have breakfast with me. Now all the affairs of the government depend on the Zuo Prime Minister. I have something to discuss with you."

She took the list to the Suixin Pavilion, where she sat at the top of the hall, and Nie Chuanzhen sat at the bottom.
