Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2336 Seven Volumes 36 I am willing, can you control it (Bi)
On the [-]th day of September, Luanjia was stationed at the Salbarhada camp.

Early in the morning, the emperor went to the empress dowager to greet her, and served her breakfast in person.

This is just breakfast, and the emperor also gave the Mongolian princes a banquet.

It has always been the custom for the emperor to pay his respects to the empress dowager, even on the way of the siege, every two or three days.But today is special because the emperor not only came to pay his respects, but also served a meal, and at the same time gave a banquet to the Mongolian prince.

The empress dowager couldn't help but raised her eyes and stared at the emperor, "What's wrong with the emperor today? In the early morning, he began to give a banquet to the Mongolian prince? I remember that the emperor will continue to walk around the schedule today when the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to play. right?"

The emperor smiled faintly, "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and my son is supposed to serve the emperor's mother. As for the banquet for the Mongolian prince in the early morning... Hehe, it is my son who is happy today."

"Emperor Niang is right. In today's schedule, my son still has to go for a walk. It's just that the walk will not delay my son's early morning banquet for Queen Empress, nor will it delay the banquet of the Mongolian princes...after eating Just go."

Although the empress dowager travels with the emperor, the empress dowager is not in the same place as the emperor.The Nala family must follow the rules of the Manchurian daughter-in-law, serving her mother-in-law all the way, eating and lodging in the empress dowager's line. together.

Today it was so easy to see the emperor again, but Nala's heart was sour now.She filled a small bowl of rice porridge for the empress dowager and fed it to the empress dowager.

On this grassland, there is no shortage of meat, but rice gold is more expensive.So every day when the Empress Dowager eats meals, when Nala serves the meals in person, she does not personally serve the side dishes, but she personally serves the rice porridge.

The empress dowager took the rice porridge and nodded at her with a smile, "If you don't go to the grassland, you won't know how delicious the rice porridge is."

Then Nala smiled and glanced at the emperor, "...Today is indeed a special day. Not only Chongyang, but also the birth of the imperial concubine Ling. No wonder the emperor is so happy today. feast."
.
Nala's words successfully made the rice porridge in the empress dowager's mouth change from sweet to taste.

On Chongyang Day, the ninth day of September, the son gave a special banquet to the Mongolian princes because of his filial piety.This statement made the old lady very happy.But if the reason is not pure, and Ling Guifei's birthday is added, even the old lady will feel a little bit uncomfortable.

The emperor squinted at Nala, hurriedly walked over and said to the empress dowager with a smile, "It's a coincidence that the Qianqiu of the imperial concubine happens to be a day that symbolizes the longevity of the elderly. With her by her side, the empress dowager will surely Longevity, happiness and longevity.”

Only then did the Empress Dowager calm down a bit, and she raised her eyes to stare at the Emperor, "I couldn't help but chatter with you a few more words: It's already September, and you're still taking Imperial Concubine Ling with you all the way! Huizi is no better than a summer resort, and it is on the grassland at this time, even in the camp, there is no shortage of anything, but after all, it is not as safe as the palace."

"When do you plan to send her back to Beijing? If you delay it any longer, it will snow in this paddock. By then, it will be cold and the road will be slippery. How can you tell her to walk?"

The emperor nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Ernie. My son has already made arrangements."
.
The emperor didn't say much, and had breakfast with the empress dowager and the Mongolian princes, so he led the ministers to surround them again.

Wanxi also just finished her breakfast, it's time to get up and change clothes.

Early this morning, the palace supervisor came back to talk and reported today's schedule roughly: He said that in the afternoon, when the emperor came back from the siege, he would be escorted by the empress dowager, and the monarch and his ministers had fun together, enjoying the circus together.

Since it is such a joyous gathering, the concubines in the harem will naturally wear eight dragon robes (yes, the auspicious clothes for concubines are also called "dragon robes", and the concubines above are also five-clawed dragons~ the ranks are really low , can be called boa robes, flower clothes.)
Wanxi is a noble concubine, and the color of the dragon robe should be the same as that of a concubine, all in golden yellow.The concubine's dragon robe is made of fragrance.

Wanxi put on her dragon robe, stood in front of the mirror, and smiled helplessly.

——Because she is pregnant with a child, her belly is getting bigger now, so the original dragon robe can no longer be fastened with buttons.

Wanxi sighed, "I was in the palace in August, and the emperor's Longevity Festival was just missed. I was thinking, it will be August at that time, and according to the stomach at that time, it will be enough I used it. But I didn’t expect that in just this month, this stomach can still grow~”

In fact, Wanxi didn't expect that at this time, the emperor hadn't let her go back to the palace yet.

Wanxi caressed her stomach and took another photo from the left, frowning and smiling again, "Oh, my baby this time, shouldn't it be a chubby boy?"

Yang Shi was the first to smile and clap her hands, "It's good to be fat! Just add another big fat boy to the emperor this time!"

Wanxi looked back at her mother, then smiled, "But what should I do with the clothes today?"

Dragon robes are all woven in the south of the Yangtze River, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The eight dragon robes used for major ceremonies are also away from home, and there is no replacement.

Mrs. Yang came over and looked around, "It's okay. We might as well add an extra edge to the left and right openings. Even if we are worried about showing it, it's easy to handle. It's cold now, so let's go out." A single sharp hair, it will be covered up."

Wanxi also nodded with a smile, "That's all I can do for now. I just have to work hard. Is the hour still enough?"

When going out, even the dozens of women who are doing work under her can't bring all of them with her. Even if the emperor brought her more than ten people out, she might not be able to catch up with the urgent work.

Yang nodded and smiled, "Don't worry. I will definitely be able to get out."

Wanxi then took off her dragon robe and handed it to Yang, waiting for Yang to take a group of sewing women to widen it.At this juncture, Gao Yu, the head of the Palace Supervisor, came to pay his respects with a smile.

Wanxi hurriedly invited him in, and saw that he was holding a large red lacquer plate with his own hands, and it was covered with a bright red brocade with fringed corners.

Gao Yu knelt down to greet Wanxi first, and then congratulated Wanxi on Qianqiu's birthday.

At this time, Yurui is not here, and Yuchan's status is not enough, so Yuqin walked over to take it with a smile, and said jokingly, "I guess, it must be a gift from the emperor to Concubine Ling."

Gao Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Master Qing's guess is naturally reasonable~"

Yuqin raised her eyebrows, turned around and turned around, "Oh, what's the matter, Master Gao is beating around the bush and saying that I guessed wrong?"

Gao Yu hurriedly fell to his knees, "Oh, Concubine Qing is forgiving, how dare this old slave."

Yuqin held the tray, raised her eyebrows slightly, "Originally, this was a gift from the emperor to Concubine Ling, and I shouldn't have read it. But now that you've been acting like this, my curiosity has been aroused instead. Ouch, Don't just kneel down and apologize, you should sneak in and let me in. Otherwise, if someone orders the imperial concubine later, she won't open it in front of my face, so I want to break my head Can't guess?"

Wanxi was already laughing, and hurriedly ordered Yuchan, but she still saw Yuse when she turned her head, so she quickly nodded, "Yuse, go over and stop your sister. The servants are not at this moment." You have the guts, don't tell your sister to continue to embarrass Gao Ye."

Gao Yu knew that Concubine Qing's master was not serious, it was because today was Concubine Ling's birthday, so Concubine Qing was making jokes, just to make fun of it.

Gao Yu also smiled apologetically, "This is the emperor's wish for Ling Guifei's master, and this old slave would never dare to say it. However, Qing Concubine's heart is naturally like a mirror, and the emperor only gave Ling Guifei's master Yes, when is it not the most rare and most needed by the noble concubine and master?"

Wanxi's heart moved slightly, and she hurriedly turned her head to think, what could be the rarest and most needed thing at this moment?
Gao Yu didn't say much, just nodded towards Wanxi with a smile, and left.

Wanxi hurriedly asked Yuchan to send a pair of big purses to Gao Yu, and a pair of small purses to the little eunuch who followed Gao Yu.

Gao Yu and the two went away happily, Wanxi stared at the tray on the table, somehow, her heart became inexplicably nervous.

Wanxi's expression could not be concealed from Yuqin, and Yuqin was happy. She turned her head and said to Qingguang and Yuse, "Come on, let me see, let's go. You are my master, you don't want to open the door in front of us." hijab 'go~~"

Wanxi raised her eyes and glanced at Yuse, and the women beside Concubine Ying and others.

Both Yuqin and Concubine Ying agreed, and each arranged errands for the women under her command and sent them out.

Then Wanxi blushed and said, "I'm afraid that if you open it, the sisters will laugh at me again. You have to promise me that you will never laugh at me, so I will open it for you to see."

Yuqin, Concubine Ying and the others couldn't bear to be curious, so they swore and made a vow.

Only then did Wanxi take a deep breath, and slowly lifted off the red burden...

When the objects on the tray came into view, even Yuqin exclaimed, "Oh, the bright yellow female dragon robe!"
.
Yuchan's hands and feet were nimble, and she didn't wait to watch, just hearing this, she hurried to the tent door to inform Liu Zhu'er, and told Liu Zhu'er to hurry and invite Mrs. Yang back.

The emperor has already bestowed a new dragon robe to the master, so Mrs. Yang naturally doesn't need to cheer it up with her own hands.

After Yuchan came back from the door, Yuqin and Concubine Ying had already supported Wanxi to stand up, stood in front of the mirror, and put the new bright yellow dragon robe on her body...

In the mirror, Wanxi looked at herself like this, her eye circles couldn't help it, a little red.

Although she was happy in her heart, she still couldn't help muttering, "What is the emperor doing? I am only in the position of noble concubine, why did the emperor give you a bright yellow dragon robe? Isn't this against the rules? "

Yuqin looked up and down Wanxi's noble demeanor in bright yellow, and couldn't help smiling with tears in her eyes.Hearing what Wanxi said, she let out an "ah" and said, "Why can't you wear it? The rules in this palace are set by the emperor; since it was given by the emperor, and the emperor told you to wear it, then you should naturally wear it. "

"Anyone who doesn't like it, the one who has the guts to talk to the emperor. You, just wear your clothes firmly!"

At this moment, Mrs. Yang has also returned, and when she entered the tent and saw her daughter wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.Just stood there at the door, forgetting to come over.

Wanxi hurriedly stretched out her hand, "Ene..."

Yang came over with tears in her eyes and hugged her daughter, "How dare I think about it. Oh, Jiuer, how dare I think about it?"

Mrs. Yang herself is a Fujin who is in charge of the internal affairs. Since the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, she has served as a female official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and participated in too many harem canonization ceremonies.Therefore, she knows all the rules in the harem, written and unwritten.

Even from the first day her daughter entered the palace, she knew in her heart that if a woman surnamed Han was under the leadership of the internal supervisor, even if she gave birth to a prince in the palace, she could only be granted the position of concubine.What's more, her daughter has been in the palace for more than ten years without any movement... But ah, it is strange to say that the daughter was first conferred as a nobleman, and she was concubine within a month;
To this day, she is a noble concubine.She is the only second person under the empress in this harem... Such a situation, even to this day, when Yang Shi sometimes thinks back, it still feels like a dream.

But no matter what, the daughter should be at the top by now.How could she have imagined that her daughter would be alive today!
"What are you talking about?" Yang hugged her daughter, and couldn't help but look up and down.

Yuqin sighed softly, wrapped her arms around Yang's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Are you crying with joy? That's Wanxi who has been hiding it from you and didn't dare to tell you that the emperor took her through many years ago. The Daqing Gate in Shengjing! Walk through the Daqing Gate in the middle of the night, my aunt, you should understand this truth best!"

"In the middle of the night" is because Manchu weddings and funerals are all at night.Even the emperor's big wedding, to welcome the empress into the palace, has to be carried in through the Daqing Gate, and it should also be carried out at night at that time.Therefore, it is an act of sincerity only if it is really the Daqing Gate that is left in the middle of the night.

The emperor was still a prince when he got married, and had not yet ascended the throne.Therefore, even though Empress Xiaoxian was the emperor's first wife and concubine, she was not carried into the palace from the Daqing Gate in the middle of the night in a big sedan chair.

Yang was even more stunned.

Yuqin leaned against Yang's ear, and sighed softly, "She is so jealous! What is she wearing bright yellow today? Just wait, she will be more annoying in the future Things are coming later!"
.
After noon, the emperor came back from the siege.

Entering Wanxi's tent, seeing that Wanxi was still not wearing the bright yellow dragon robe, she raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong? Is this size too small? I measured it according to the size of a water tank." .”

Wanxi was amused, she patted her belly and said, "Did you hear that? Mommy, I just said that you might be a little chubby boy, but it's good for you, Ama, who just treats you like a small water tank."

The emperor laughed, came over and hugged Wanxi gently, and put his palm on Wanxi's stomach.

"Don't think so much, my master quietly ordered Jiangnan weaving to prepare it half a year ago. I couldn't predict the size of your belly at that time, so I had to estimate it bigger. My master has hidden his thoughts for half a year. , the purpose is to celebrate your birthday today."

"Jiu'er, just put it on obediently, don't think about anything."

Wanxi pouted lightly, "...But how can a slave wear bright yellow? If he really wears it like this, wouldn't the front and rear palaces be criticized like a boil?"

The emperor snorted lightly, grabbed Wanxi's hand, and held it warmly.

"What are you afraid of, Master?"
.
Originally, as a noble concubine, if you celebrate Qianqiu's birthday in the palace, there should be a corresponding banquet:
"Every time you meet a noble concubine, the noble concubine and concubines will hold a banquet together in the palace. The palace supervisor Yu first asks for an order to prepare for it. At that time, the palace supervisor invites the concubines to lead the nobles and others to dress up and gather together.

In the imperial concubine's palace, the palace supervisor invites the imperial concubine to be seated in a splendid dress.

The concubines lead the nobles and the others to sit down one by one and eat.After the promise of the banquet, the fruit will be entered.The palace jailed wine.

The concubine led the nobles and others to kowtow at this seat.

The promised banquet is over.The concubine leads the nobles to kowtow at this seat, the palace supervisor opens the banquet, and the noble concubine sits up and returns to the harem.

The palace supervisor asked the concubine to lead the nobles to return to the palace. "

It's just that she's in the paddock at this moment, and Wanxi's pregnancy is in this month, so the banquet ceremony should naturally be kept simple.It's just that Wanxi is still fully dressed, doing her part, and going to the three palaces of the empress dowager, emperor, and empress to salute.

The emperor is fine, he is right in front of him anyway; the empress Nala is with the empress dowager, Wanxi still insists on going to pay her respects first.

The emperor also nodded, "Alright. Master will accompany you on this trip."

Wanxi raised her eyes with a smile, and nodded slightly.

It is conceivable how shocked the Empress Dowager and Nala family would be when they saw her wearing the bright yellow dragon robe.Therefore, instead of letting them see it later when you are watching the circus, it is better to go to them in advance and let them see it.When it's time to lose your temper, you will be quiet when watching the circus later.

The circus later will be the biggest celebration for the imperial court to completely suppress the Zhunbu and Huibu this year.Wanxi didn't want to cause any more unhappiness because of such a small matter of her own.
.
The big camp where the emperor Xingji was located was already in full swing for the feast, and the emperor personally accompanied Wanxi to the empress dowager's camp.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager and Nala Shi were also shocked when they saw Wanxi coming wearing eight dragon robes embroidered with bright yellow satin.

The empress dowager was better, but Nalashi couldn't accept it anyway.

After saluting, Nala first scolded Wanxi, "Concubine Ling, what happened to you today! Even if you are pregnant with a child, you shouldn't be so confused! The bright yellow dragon robe, only the emperor Only the empress dowager, the emperor, and me, the empress of the palace, wear it. You are arrogating today!"

Wanxi didn't speak, just tilted her head and looked at the emperor.

The emperor bowed his head and smiled faintly.

"Who said that? Why did the queen forget that when I first came to the throne, Huixian and Xiaoxian wore bright yellow dragon robes. At that time, Huixian was a noble concubine, and now Ling Guifei is also a noble concubine; Clothes. Where did the presumption come from?"

Nala was stunned, this past event opened up an old scar in her heart, making her shiver with pain.

At that time, she was the side Fujin who was appointed by the late emperor to marry, and Gao Yunsi was only a maidservant, so in terms of status, she should naturally be in front of Gao Yunsi!But the emperor ascended the throne and made Gao Yunsi the noble concubine, but only made her the fourth concubine.

In the same hidden residence next to Fujin, Gao Yunsi was able to wear bright yellow for Empress Xiaoxian and be worshiped by Princess Fujin, but she didn't!She can only wear the golden color of a concubine.

Now the emperor wants to bring up that incident in front of her eyes!Call her back again, the days when she was subdued in this harem for so many years!
She couldn't help but raise her head with hatred, stared at the emperor closely, and sneered, "That's what you said, but why did the emperor forget that when the concubine and Chunhui entered the concubine, the emperor also said that the concubine was the first concubine?" It is different from the noble concubine who was enfeoffed; the imperial concubine who was enfeoffed for the first time can enjoy it, but the imperial concubine who is enfeoffed has to be degraded."

"Concubine Ling is also a noble concubine. Neither the concubine nor Chunhui wore bright yellow dragon robes, so why should they wear them when they come to Concubine Ling?"

After Nala's words, Wanxi couldn't help lowering her head and pursing her lips into a smile.

Wanxi glanced at Yuchan who was supporting her, and smiled with a wink.

She also really admired Nala's, since she doesn't want to mention the things of the past year, but now Nala's himself is talking about the things of the past again.Isn't that right, when Nalashi and the imperial concubine Chunhui entered the imperial concubine together, he thought that he had finally equaled the position with the imperial concubine Huixian, but the emperor issued an order at that time to call the imperial concubine Jinfeng You are not allowed to enjoy the treatment of the first imperial concubine.

The emperor's intention of saying those words, whose face is he hitting?Could it be that Nala thought that the emperor only hit the pure noble concubine at that time, and later the noble concubine Jia went with her?
This can really be said, "When you become a queen, you forget the pain".

The emperor also laughed, "The empress has a good memory. I am really relieved to know that the empress has not forgotten the past."

Nala's eyes narrowed, "What does the emperor mean today? Even if the imperial concubine is pregnant with an heir, even if it is the imperial concubine's birthday today, there is no reason for her to wear bright yellow!"

The emperor shrugged slightly, "Empress, as my middle palace, besides knowing these palace rules, shouldn't you also understand my temperament? I will ask you, what kind of clothes do I wear every New Year's Eve?" ?”

Nala was shocked.

New Year's Eve is a big day, and the emperor should wear a bright yellow dragon robe as usual.However, since the 19th year of Qianlong, the emperor has worn a "fragrant black silk dragon robe with black fox face" every New Year's Eve.

The fragrance color is the color of a concubine's clothes as usual, but the emperor will wear this color in time for the New Year's Eve!It's not that the emperor wants to demean himself, it's just because the emperor likes this color!
What about the color of clothes, whether the bright yellow is noble or not, to the emperor, all of them are nothing more than a pile of trouble.If the emperor likes to praise you, then bright yellow is noble; if the emperor doesn't care about promoting you, what's the use of wearing bright yellow every day you see the sky?

Nala was so choked that he couldn't speak, he stared at the emperor, gasping for breath.

The emperor laughed, "The queen can't answer? Oh, yes, on the night of the New Year's Eve, it is said that I should watch the new year with the queen. But in fact, I haven't been with the queen for many years. The queen I haven’t seen it, I can’t remember it, and of course there are.”

The emperor patted Nala's hand lightly with a smile, "Oh, what I wear on New Year's Eve is a fragrance. I thought, since I already wear fragrance, I should give it to you today." Empress, you should wear fragrant colors to attend the banquet!"

("Four Things Picture" is obvious. Ming Huang is not only worn by the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine already wears it~ The difference in color is even more obvious in the version of "Forbidden City" magazine that has not been color-graded on the Internet. for clarity)
