Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Chapter 15: The Imperial Concubine Enters the Palace

Two days later, it was the day when Yi'ermu entered the palace.Song'er vividly described the situation at that time, "It's just a small blue sedan chair, which looks like the sedan chair in the draft. Madam rewarded her with a nun, but Yi Changzai didn't know good from bad, and only carried My personal maids, Chuizhu and Yingluo, have entered the palace. Those below the rank of concubine are not allowed to bring dowry, and the attendants can only bring two. It is even more shabby than those girls from small families who get married. In the whole house, only a few aunts and a few concubine girls from the third room went to see her off, and they left quietly before dawn."

Should Wen Xi feel lucky that she is a noble concubine?

The days go by fast and fast, and slow and slow.Wen Xi sat on the soft couch, embroidered two stitches when she had nothing to do, and was planning to embroider a round fan, but no matter whether Wen Xi or Ga Luo were average embroiderers, they could only embroider simple patterns like orchids and butterflies.It is also embroidered and dismantled, dismantled and embroidered.Meier felt distressed, and took advantage of Wen Xi's nap time to embroider the round fan. The embroidery work was not at the same level as Wen Xi's half-baby.

Wen Xi looked at the embroidery patterns on it, the orchids were embroidered with distinct stems and leaves, and there were five or six shades of green on a small orchid leaf, and the butterfly was more lifelike, as if it was about to fly out of the fan.Wen Xi exclaimed in admiration: "Die Lian Hua, Hua Lian Die, no wonder the wet nurse wants you to be his daughter-in-law."

Mei Er quickly lowered her head, "Ge Ge made fun of the servant again!"

"In the future, if you can be married to a decent family, it will be regarded as a fruitful achievement. You are only fourteen this year, and when you are 16, I will promise you to Du He," Wen Xi said, shaking a newly-made round fan in his hand: "You have seen what Du He looks like, so you know the basics. Although he is not handsome, he is filial and loyal. I will support you in the palace in the future. Forgive him and he will not dare to bully you."

"Ge Ge's words are getting more and more outrageous, slaves don't want to marry!" Mei'er blushed and ran out quickly.

The days passed quickly, July 27th in the [-]th year of Kangxi.

Erniang Shushu felt that Luo Shi was full of tears, holding on to her warm hands, "Nurse Ping understands spices, Qinglan understands medical skills, there are many tricks in the palace, please remember, you must be careful! Don't imitate Er Niang, Er Niang spent the first half of her life thinking too much about men before she got to this point. The emperor has six palaces, so he can never be your lover!"

Wen Xi nodded: "My daughter knows!"

"You are only 15 years old, not a suitable age for childbearing. Listen to Er Niang's advice, don't rush to have a baby. Er Niang specially prepared contraceptive pills for you. If you listen to Er Niang's words, you will see it after you are favored." Take a bite."

"You are the daughter of the Niu Hulu family, and you will be the highest-ranking concubine when you enter the palace. You need to be careful of Concubine Tong. She has already laid her own foundation in the palace for several years. With your status, those concubines with low status I don’t dare to offend you, what needs to be careful is backstabbing. You don’t need to pay attention to Yiermu, he’s just a clown!”

"After you enter the palace, it's okay to be favored, but it's okay not to be favored. In order to win over the Niuhulu clan, the emperor will at least treat you kindly."

"Besides, Erniang didn't prepare a beautiful maid for you, so you don't want to send the maid around you to the emperor's bed. Concubine Tong recommended Wu Yashi back then, and she almost beat the dog with meat buns!"

·····

Talking on and on until late at night, Shu Shu felt that Luo Shi had exhausted his whole life experience.

The next day, the 20th day of July in the [-]th year of Kangxi, was in Xinyou, an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Wen Xi was taken care of by Songer Zhuer to get up early in the morning to freshen up, her face was covered with layers of pearl powder and rouge, while Madam Wu helped Wen Xi comb her hair and put on the concubine crown.The noble concubine faces the crown, the same as the imperial concubine, with smoked mink in winter and green velvet in summer.On the top three floors, there are one Dongzhu each, all inherited from the golden phoenix, decorated with three Dongzhu, seventeen pearls each, and one large pearl on top.Zhu Wei is adorned with seven gold phoenixes, nine east pearls and 21 pearls.Later gold Zhai one, decorated with a cat's eye stone, sixteen pearls, Zhai tail hanging beads, all pearls 190, two in three lines, one lapis lazuli knot with gold title in the middle, decorated with east pearls, four pearls each, and coral at the end.There are two yellow ribbons hanging from the collar behind the crown, and the end is decorated with gems.The green satin belt is made of gold, and twelve golden clouds are engraved, decorated with one oriental pearl, with coral in between.The red piece of gold is tied with a turquoise knot with a gold title at the back, and the beads hang down. There are four out of two hundred pearls, three in three rows, two lapis lazuli knots with a gold title in the middle, each decorated with east beads and six pearls, and coral at the end. .There are three earrings on the left and right, and each has two second-class oriental pearls with golden dragon titles.The collar is made of engraved gold, decorated with seven east pearls, with coral in the middle, two bright yellow ribbons hanging from both ends, coral in the middle, and two corals in the end.There are three discs of Chaozhu, one of Mipo, and two of Coral.The imperial concubine's dragon coat is made of azurite, embroidered with five claws and eight groups of golden dragons, one front and rear dragons on both shoulders, four dragons on the lapel, eight treasures standing on the lower panel, and two dragons on the sleeve ends.The dragon robe is bright yellow in color, the leaders are all stone blue, embroidered with golden dragon nine, interspersed with five-color clouds, and the text of blessing and longevity is suitable, and the lower panel is made of eight treasures standing in water.There is one dragon at the front and back of the collar, and one dragon at the left and right sides and at the cross-front.There is a plate of auspicious clothes and pearls, and the treasures are at your disposal, and the sash is bright yellow.

There is also a heavy dress. The imperial concubine's dress is golden yellow, second only to the bright yellow of the empress and imperial concubine. There are two standing dragons at the front and back of the embroidered text, and the bottom is full of folds. Wanfu Wanshou.Golden yellow is slightly darker than bright yellow, but it is also a useful color, and ordinary people can't touch it.

Different from folk marriages, yellow is the honor for concubines and concubines.The eight-person sedan chair is red, decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, canopy and red umbrella, and is supported by the imperial guards. However, the imperial concubine is only a side room, and can only use magenta, which is slightly lighter than the red color, while the concubine enters the palace.If the concubine enters the palace at once, there is no need to be red.However, few people have ever used such a red sedan chair.Even if Rong Concubine, Hui Concubine, Yi Concubine and others entered the palace, they were all below the rank of concubine, so they did not enter the palace in a red sedan chair.Even though Concubine Tong entered the palace in a magenta dragon and phoenix sedan chair, it was the time of the San Francisco Rebellion and financial shortages, so the imperial concubine's ceremony could only be kept simple.

Ten miles of red makeup, the total dowry is 160, which is only [-] sets less than when Empress Xiaozhao entered the palace as a noble concubine.

Although the imperial concubine is noble, she is still not the main family, and cannot enter through the main entrance of the Forbidden City, and she is not inferior to a low-ranking lady, so she walked through the Donghua Gate, and was carried into the Chengqian Palace from the Donghua Gate.

The main bedroom of Chengqian Palace.

Nanny Wu and Nanny Ma supported Wen Xi to sit upright on the Xita, and Nanny Wu smiled and said, "This Chengqian Palace is more magnificent than before, it must have been rebuilt to welcome the empress into the palace. .”

Mother Ma agreed: "Chengqian Palace is one of the best palaces in the palace. The only one comparable is Concubine Tong's Jingren Palace, but there is also a concubine Dong who lives in the side hall, and there are several I always promise my little master. Only Chengqian Palace is where the master lives alone." Concubine Tong and concubine Dong lived in Jingren Palace, concubine Ma Jia lived in Yanxi Palace, concubine Hui Nala and concubine Heding Wan The Liuha family lived in Zhongcui Palace, the Depin Wuya family and Anpin Li family lived in Yonghe Palace, and the newly named Xuan concubine Borjit lived in Jingyang Palace, the most remote of the West Sixth Palaces. Qian Palace and West Six Palaces already have the main seats; among the East Six Palaces, the Yi concubine Guo Luoluo lives in Yikun Palace, Shen concubine Hesheli (former Xi concubine) lives in Xianfu Palace, Cheng concubine Dai Jia Living in Changchun Palace.

Wen Xi said: "There is no one else now, maybe there will be none in the future." I remember that Kangxi had many concubines, and the number of concubines and concubines once exceeded the quota of four concubines and six concubines set by him, and the nobles often promised something. There are countless.

Mammy Wu was originally the one who served Emperor Shunzhi's mourning concubine Borjit during the reign of the first emperor, and was later transferred to serve Concubine Zhao who had just entered the palace. Mammy Ma was also an old person who served Empress Xiaozhao back then.Having been with Wen Xi for more than ten years, he is naturally a trustworthy old man.

Concubines are usually sent to the Qianqing Palace to change their clothes in the side hall, rolled up in the quilt and sent to the emperor's bed. However, Kangxi will show some face and come in person for those with higher status.

"Master, let's have something to eat first," Song'er held up a pile of pea yellow, "You haven't eaten for most of the day."

In fact, Wen Xi sneaked out a few fruits from the space to eat when she was sitting in the sedan chair, but the fruit was a lot of water, so she couldn't fill her stomach after all, and she was already very hungry.Quickly ate a few pieces of snacks, Zhu'er had a sharp eye and quickly served a cup of tea. The pea yellow looks good, but the taste is very ordinary, and it is a bit dry, which is easy to choke.

"Master, Eunuch Xi is here to report to Eunuch Liang, the emperor is already on his way, please be ready to meet him." Just after eating snacks, a little eunuch outside came to report.

Wen Xi was only greeted by the ministers outside the hall. (The next chapter will roll the sheets, Ho Ho Ho~~~~)
