Queen is fearless

Chapter 91 fainted

"Your Majesty, who is this?" In Fengyang Palace, Jiang Xiuyi sat on a chair with a puzzled expression on his face.

Concubine Dong had just left before a cup of tea, and the empress handed over the New Year's Eve banquet to Concubine Dong and her.

Originally, the empress wanted to keep the two of them for dinner in Fengyang Palace. Concubine Dong claimed that she had something to do in the palace, so she left first, leaving only Jiang Xiuyi who was confused.

"You're so smart, didn't you think of it?" After taking a sip of tea, Gu Jinzhi looked at Jiang Xiuyi with a smile.

"My concubine doesn't understand, Concubine Dong...is quite ambitious. The empress gave her authority, and I'm afraid it will give her a lot of opportunities."

Jiang Xiuyi felt that it was expected that the Empress asked her to help her manage the New Year's Eve palace banquet. She really couldn't figure it out adding a Concubine Dong.

"While my palace gave her authority, why didn't she also give her restrictions?"

"My time in the harem is not as good as yours. In the past, the New Year's Eve palace banquet was organized like this, and I didn't know it. With the help of Concubine Dong, I can save a lot of 'strength'."

The tone of the word "strength" was deliberately emphasized. Gu Jinzhi's words can be regarded as a pun.

With the reminder, Jiang Xiuyi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized.

As she said, Concubine Dong is quite ambitious, and entrusting her with authority may allow her to accomplish many things.

However, no matter what she did, these things would only be under the eyes of the empress, so she couldn't make any troubles.

Furthermore, because she is also in charge of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, if something happens at the palace banquet, she, the person in charge, cannot escape responsibility.
Therefore, even if she wanted to do something wrong, she had to keep her hands and feet away.

Not only that, but she also had to think of ways to prevent accidents from happening.

After this incident, no matter whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they will ask about it. As one of the persons in charge, Concubine Dong, if the palace banquet is well organized, it will leave a good impression on her with the emperor and the queen mother.

No wonder the empress said that while giving authority, she also gave restrictions.

Seeing Jiang Xiuyi's clear face, Gu Jinzhi understood that she had figured it out, and it was easy to talk to a transparent person.

Here, Gu Jinzhi chatted with Jiang Xiuyi about matters related to the palace banquet.

On the other side, Concubine Dong, who was heading back to Yichun Palace, was also talking about this matter.

Like Jiang Xiuyi, Zhuzhu also couldn't see the matter clearly, and only after Tourmai called her did she understand.

"Empress, it's really a good plan." Sitting in the soft sedan, Concubine Dong snorted coldly, and she could hear the voices of Tourmaline and Pearl.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are slaves and pearls in everything, and you will never be allowed to spend too much energy."

Although Lin was in charge of the New Year's Eve palace banquets in previous years, not all of them were entrusted to her.

After all, there is Concubine Dong who is of the same rank as her.

Therefore, Concubine Dong knew everything about the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and could easily arrange everything.

What's more, there is Dianzhong Sheng, they manage every year, and they are even clearer. Concubine Dong only needs to order everything, let Tourmaline and Pearl run errands, and don't have to worry about anything else.

"No, I have to handle it myself." Concubine Dong said with a sneer after hearing Bixi's words.

The queen wanted to restrict her, it was a dream, she really underestimated herself!
Even if she doesn't make trouble at the palace banquet, she still has a way to make things difficult for the queen.

Just wait and see, who is better at chess...

Laqi Laba, my jaw froze, and after entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather became colder and colder.

Fortunately, the previous heavy snow did not continue to fall, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

It's the Chinese New Year, and the palace is very lively. Most of the things are arranged by Concubine Dong and Jiang Xiuyi. To be precise, Concubine Dong arranges it herself, and Jiang Xiuyi can't intervene if she wants to.

As a queen, Gu Jinzhi has many things to do, so after handing over the palace banquet to Concubine Dong and Jiang Xiuyi, she began to busy herself with her own affairs.

This is the first New Year she spent in the palace after she became a queen.

Although I have acted in a lot of ancient costume dramas before, and there are many rules in them, but if I really want to compare it with the serious ancient times, it is really far behind.

"Oh my mother, why is it so heavy?" Putting on a full set of auspicious clothes, Gu Jinzhi almost didn't sit on the ground. She took a few deep breaths and deeply suspected that someone had sewn bricks onto the auspicious clothes. .

When she was filming, she had acted as a queen, and she also wore the queen's auspicious costumes. Their crew was already a very conscientious production crew, and she felt that the auspicious costumes were very heavy at that time.

But she didn't expect that the real empress costume would be several times heavier than the prop costume.

Thinking that she would wear this Queen's auspicious costume, accompany the emperor to sacrifice to the sky, and then go back to the main hall of Fengyang Palace to accept the worship of the royal family and court wives, she felt that she was going to die.

Qingluan and Ziyuan stood aside, covering their mouths and giggling, although sometimes, the empress's words are very funny, but she has never been so funny like now.

"You tell me that this is not true..." Standing stiff in the hall, Gu Jin looked at Qingluan and Ziyuan expectantly.

"Your Majesty, on the first day of the new year, you have to wear this set of auspicious clothes, and go to worship with the emperor. After returning to the palace, you will be in the main hall of Fengyang Palace..."

Qingluan opened his mouth, wanting to explain the process, but Gu Jinzhi quickly waved his hands, "Tell me, how long did it take?"

From the looks of it, she must be dressed. She really wanted to know, how long would this torture last?
"From morning to night, it probably takes at least seven or eight hours."

Qingluan snapped her fingers and counted carefully, Gu Jinzhi's face turned pale, "Seven or eight hours? Why is it so long?"

"Look, go to pay homage and accept worship. After these two tasks, it will be the afternoon. You have to wear this suit and go to Yanqing Palace with the emperor. The envoys from various dependent countries will bring gifts to the emperor and you to pay New Year's greetings. "

As early as two months ago, Qingluan figured out the whole process. After all, this is a major event, and no mistakes can be made.

"I said, can't I just change my clothes and accept the pilgrimage? It's really not possible, can I change my clothes and go to Yanqing Palace?"

Tentatively opening his mouth, Gu Jinzhi knew that the possibility was unlikely, but when he thought about wearing such heavy clothes for more than ten hours...

"No, it has always been like this, and it must be the same when you come here, Madam, you'd better get used to it as soon as possible."

"My maidservant heard that the previous ladies had to wear them every day half a month in advance to get used to the auspicious clothes. Otherwise, on the first day of the new year, they would basically not be able to bear it!"

The queen's auspicious clothes are divided into several sets, only the ones worn for the big wedding and the first day of the new year are the heaviest and most gorgeous.

All queens are like this, it is impossible to change the rules when they come to Gu Jinzhi.

"Half a month earlier?" She felt that she wanted to pass out now...

However, before she fainted, Hongxiu quickly walked in from outside the hall, "I want to tell you, my servant, I heard that Concubine Dong has fainted!"
