Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 143 The second day of the Lunar New Year (check in over 300, more updates will be added)
Wanxian was wearing court clothes and sitting in the back room of Changchun Palace, yawning.

Bu Guiren sat aside and said, "Are you tired? This is what happens in the first month. It will feel better after the fifteenth day of the first month."

Wanxian nodded slightly and said, "When that day comes, I will have to sleep well for a few days." After saying that, Wanxian yawned again.

"However, Sister Bu. Although I am tired these days, I am still happy and happy. When I was at home before, I had never been so lively during the first month." Wanxian continued.

"In this case, you will be very busy in the future." After An Bin put on her court clothes, she walked up to Wanxian and said.

Wanxian smiled at An Bin.

"Let's go, it's almost time." An Bi said to Wanxian.

Qiaoguo and Yunxia quickly helped Wanxian up.The Bugui people also stood up to see him off.

"I heard that after the banquet was over yesterday, the imperial concubine arranged for the servants to tidy up Chengqian Palace, which caused a lot of trouble all night long." Bu Guiren said as he walked away.

"Of course she has to be careful. This is the first time that she is the protagonist. It is still a big event for the congratulatory wife. How can she not be excited?" An Bin also said.

Wanxian followed An Bin and listened to the gossip between An Bin and Bu Guiren.

After everyone walked to the entrance of the main hall, An Bin said to Lord Bu: "Okay, I and Wanxian are leaving. Changchun Palace, please take more care of us. It's cold outside, so don't send us out of the palace."

Bu Guiren smiled and made a blessing ceremony to An Bin and Wan Xian.

The servants below quickly tied the cloaks of An Bin and Wanxian.

An Bin took Wanxian out of the main hall and walked outside the palace gate of Changchun Palace.The two of them got into the warm sedan chairs one by one, and walked to Chengqian Palace one after the other.

After Wanxian got off the warm sedan, she walked to An Bing's side and entered the Chengqian Palace with Wanxian.

The decoration of Chengqian Palace was better than that of the previous few days. When you walked into the main hall, the layout and furnishings inside were also three points more luxurious than before.

An Bin and Wanxian were invited into the main hall by Wu Liuzi, the eunuch in charge of Chengqian Palace.

After An Bin and Wanxian took off their cloaks, they sat down to rest.An Bin sat in the sixth place on the left, and Wanxian sat in the ninth place on the left.

The original imperial concubine's throne above is now two thrones side by side, which are the seats of the imperial concubine and the crown princess respectively.

The maids quickly served tea and snacks to An Bin and Wanxian.

While waiting, the other concubines also came one after another.Until the end, the Crown Princess also came to Chengqian Palace.

"The Crown Princess has arrived." The eunuch at the door sang the report.

All the concubines stood up quickly to greet the Crown Princess.I saw the Crown Princess walking into the main hall door wearing this apricot-yellow court dress.Seeing that all the concubines were standing, he said quickly: "Concubines, please don't be too polite and please sit down." After saying this, the Crown Princess sat down on the right side of the head.Now that the crown prince has been restored to power, he has become more and more aggressive in his actions, making the crown prince more and more frightened and more polite to the concubines in the harem.

"The imperial concubine has arrived." All the concubines quickly stood up and saluted, and even the crown prince stood up and gave a slight Wanfu salute.

"I, my concubine, will pay my regards to the noble concubine."

"Everyone, get up. It's really hard for all the sisters and the princess. Why have you come to Chengqian Palace in this palace so early?" Concubine Tong Jia sat on her throne with high spirits.Just looking at the princess on the right, she felt a little uncomfortable after all.If she were an imperial concubine, even the crown princess would have to sit under her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wanxian said along with the concubines.After saying that, Yunxia helped Wanxian up.After Wanxian sat down in her seat, she carefully looked at Concubine Tong Jia and the Crown Princess above her.The shapes of their court robes are similar, except that one is golden yellow and the other is apricot yellow.If you look from a distance, you won't be able to tell who is the imperial concubine and who is the crown princess.

"Your Majesty, the time has come. All the wives are waiting outside the palace gate." Wu Liuzi walked to the center of the main hall and said.

"Then please invite Madam Gaoming to come in." Concubine Tong Jia gave the order.

Wu Liuzi hurriedly shouted at the door of the main hall: "Please give me an audience with Madam Gaoming."

As soon as these words were said, the court wives of third rank and above came neatly into the palace.

The leader was none other than Concubine Tong Jia's first-rate mother-in-law, Mrs. Tong Jia.

A futon has been placed in the center of the main hall for the ladies to pay their respects and greetings.

According to the rules, the court attire of Manchu women and Han women are different, but they are both azurite.And even the self-identification is different. Only the Manchus of Manchu origin can call themselves slaves in front of their masters, while the ministers of Han origin can only call themselves ministers or concubines. "This servant would like to express my greetings to the imperial concubine, to the crown prince, and to the empresses of all the palaces. I wish all the empresses good health and happiness."

"I would like to express my greetings to the noble concubine, to the crown prince, and to the empresses of all the palaces."

A group of court wives knelt on the futon and kowtowed while shouting.

"Get up quickly. You are all the court ladies, and your gentlemen are all ministers of the court. You don't have to be so polite. Please give me a seat." Concubine Tong Jia smiled and looked at her aunt and the court ladies kneeling on the futon. Somewhat arrogant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After the ladies stood up, they sat on the right side and behind the left and right sides according to their rank.

After all the wives sat down, the imperial concubine quickly began to say hello politely according to the rank of imperial concubines.

The concubines also began to talk to the wives who were familiar with them.

Wanxian touched the purse in her arms in boredom.I don’t know anyone here, so it’s boring.

"Empress Shubin. Empress Shubin." Wanxian suddenly heard someone calling her from behind and turned around quickly.

At Qiaoguo's signal, he saw a middle-aged woman wearing Manchu uniform sitting behind the concubine, looking at him.In order not to be embarrassed, Wanxian could only nodded slightly with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the fateful woman thought that Wanxian recognized her, so she quickly said to the fateful woman next door.So the two exchanged places, and the married woman sat behind Wanxian.

"Concubine Shu also knows this servant." Sozoluo said kindly.

Wanxian turned around and asked curiously: "Who is Madam?"

"Ms. Shubin, this servant is a descendant of Xitala Liman, the second-rank minister of Sanzhi. Your cousin Guarjia Miaoxian is my daughter-in-law." Sozoro said anxiously.

"Sister Miaoxian." Wanxian became excited when she heard the name and said.

"Yes, empress. When my daughter-in-law heard that my servant was entering the palace today, she specially asked me to say hello to you." Seeing Shubin's reaction, Sodroro knew that he had made the right move.

"I'm fine, fine. How is sister Miaoxian? How is Dachun? How is Lingling?" Wanxian became more and more excited as she spoke.

Originally, Wan Xiangui was the most favored and youngest concubine, and she was very eye-catching.This excitement is even more eye-catching now.

Concubine Tong Jia, who was talking to her aunt-in-law, said: "Why are you so excited, concubine Shu?"

When Concubine Tong Jia spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Wanxian.Wanxian stood up quickly and said, "To the noble concubine, I am a little excited to meet my relatives."

"Oh, I remember. Your mother's family sent a message a few days ago, saying that your grandmother was injured and could not come to the palace to congratulate her." In order to run her errands better, Concubine Tong Jia sent all the waiting people into the palace yesterday. Gong Chaohe knew a thing or two about his imperial edict.

"Reporting to the imperial concubine, this is my concubine's sister's mother-in-law. All the concubines would like to ask about my sister's current situation." Wanxian said truthfully.

"That's it. Whose wife is she from? Let me have a look." Concubine Tong Jia said.

Sozoro quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said, "My servant Sozoro has met the noble concubine. My husband is the second-rank minister Xitala Liman."

"Get up, madam, you're welcome." Concubine Tong Jia said with satisfaction as she looked at Sozoluo who was bowing respectfully below.

"Shu Bin is still young after all. When she meets a relative at home, she can't help but lose her temper. Your Majesty, since Shu Bin is curious. Why don't you give me a favor and let Mrs. Sodraro talk to Shu Bin." Concubine Yi started to speak. road.Concubine Yi thought that if she helped Shubin like this, if something really happened in the future, Shubin would definitely not stand idly by.

"Then let's do it. It's still early around the clock. Shuconcubine, just take Mrs. Sodroro to your dormitory to talk about it. When the time comes, I will send someone to remind you." Concubine Tong Jia spoke.

Wanxian was naturally very happy, but she still glanced at An Bing. When An Bing nodded, Wanxian hurriedly bowed and thanked her. "Thank you, Your Majesty the Concubine."

"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty." Sozhuoluo also quickly knelt on the ground to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, go ahead. That's right." Concubine Tong Jia nodded.

"By the way, Xiao Wuzi, go to the Qianqing Palace in person and report this matter to Lord Long Live. Let Lord Long Live know." Concubine Tong Jia thought for a while and said.

"Come on, I'll make the arrangements right now." Wu Liuzi quickly and respectfully replied.
