A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 8 Forbidden Court (8)
Today, the golden book of phoenix seal is awarded, which is recorded in Dianmo, the mother of the world. (2)
She fell into restlessness and couldn't sleep well at night.The next day when the rain stopped and the first ray of sunlight shone into her garden, she was surprised to learn that today's imperial edict had been promulgated.

Standing on the platform in front of the pavilion, she watched the people from the Privy Council enter the Yifeng Pavilion, leading the crowd to kneel at the steps, kowtow, and accept the order.Arong Nahan said, "Why did you go there? What about us? What about our princess?"

Yun Hua squinted his eyes, feeling lost in his heart, which meant that he had to make great efforts to get close to Yin Chongyuan.

Everyone was melancholy, when they saw Shizhao hurried over from the corridor.His boss was active, and he quietly went to Yifeng Pavilion to inquire about the news. Manhua wanted to ask who Chi Yingjin was, but he quickly compared his hands, "The second order of the government has been issued..." Before he could say anything After that, a few people turned out from the middle road, and the leader held the imperial decree high and came to Xiangluan Pavilion in a hurry.

Yun Hua went down the steps, Shu Xiu knelt down to receive the decree, the person bowed low, the blood rushed to the eardrums, and waves of sound crashed against the shore.Success or failure lies in this, I hope it will be as expected, but there is also the possibility of sending it back to Sui country.If you really go back, then the planning for a while will be in vain.

She took a breath and calmed down.We've reached this point, let's see the good fortune!
Du Chengzhi has a clear throat, just listen to him read aloud word by word: "The Li family of Dasui, who is famous for Jiaowei, is the crown of the harem. Quiet and upright, and become the way of Suyong; with all respect and prudence, the author The beauty of Xie De. Today, the golden book and phoenix seal are awarded, and it is recorded in Dianmo, and the mother honors the world."

In just a few dozen words, I finished reading it quickly.Yun Hua was still a little dazed, but quickly regained his composure, and bowed his head deeply, "The concubine accepts the decree, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Helping her up from left and right, they both delivered the imperial edict and the queen's seal according to the decree. They took two steps back and bowed down, "The minister and the queen greet each other, and I wish the queen a long life of happiness."

Meng Hua felt like dreaming, many concubines in the palace came from all directions, bowing in front of the small Xiangluan Pavilion.She looked at the people crawling all over the ground, and couldn't express what she felt.It stands to reason that the goal she has been pursuing so hard has been achieved, and she should feel happy, but why can't she be happy, and she even feels an inexplicable sense of loss.However, with so many people watching, she had to pretend to be a spring breeze, to be reserved but not arrogant, which was in line with her demeanor of a big Yue queen.

She asked everyone to excuse me, said a few polite words, and sent everyone away.Going back to the cabinet to redress, the servant brought the Queen's Yiyi clothes, the canonization came suddenly, I hadn't prepared in advance, now I have to dress up and go to the Queen Mother's Palace to salute and thank you.

Chunwo held Yiyi's clothes in her hands, the cuffs and skirts were covered with Cuidi decorations, she looked down, with tears in her eyes.Yun Hua saw it in the mirror, turned around and leaned against her chest, and said softly: "Mother, I have become the queen of Da Yue, don't worry about me."

There are too many meanings in this sentence. Others don't understand it, but Chunwo knows it in his heart.She is saying goodbye to the innocence of the past, she wants to avenge her childhood sweetheart, and the mission entrusted to her by Queen Mother Guo of Suiguo and Emperor Jian, she is destined to be a queen different from others.If there is no canonization, there may still be hope for recovery.But now it's settled, like a butterfly nailed to a wall, even if it doesn't die, it can only struggle in that position.

There are very strict regulations on the queen's dress. She wears a green gauze middle single, a dark green waistband covering her knees, and green socks and blue skirts underneath.When the maid hung the white jade pendant and the ribbon ring for her, everyone who entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs came forward to salute and respectfully said: "According to the ancestral system, the saint will move to Qingning Palace from now on. The ministers and others have made preparations. Turning back, that is to lead the sage into the golden hall and ascend to his seat."

She nodded, and put on the nine-dragon and four-phoenix crown, the layered gold ornaments and temples were quite heavy.He stood up, straightened his spine, and stepped out from Xiangluan Pavilion.

The Baoci Palace was full of ostentation, and the conferment of the emperor was a major event that attracted the attention of the whole country, and it was also a rare happy event in this forbidden court.The female officials in front of the Empress Dowager wore flower crowns, and they were all dressed up grandly.Welcome the saint into the hall, and lead her away from the golden silk brocade blanket.A multi-treasure square mat was placed in front of the Empress Dowager's seat, and Minhua knelt down to worship her, and the Empress Dowager came down to hold her in person.Because I have been looking forward to it for many years, with a heart of gratitude, I held her hands and pulled her to sit down, and said with all my heart: "The officials are stubborn in some things. It’s considered complete. I can’t remember how many times, I often repent in front of the late emperor’s spirit. The officials are unwilling to be lucky, and there is no emperor’s heir. After I die, I will have no face to see my ancestors. My heart. Since you and the official family are husband and wife, you should put the family, country and world as the most important thing. You are a person who has read sage books. When I entered the palace that day, when I asked about the number of steps, you were able to talk freely. I was very happy. Congratulations. The empress is the mother of the country, and she has a broad vision, so as not to humiliate the officials, you are the best candidate."

Zihua bowed his head humbly: "I would like to follow your mother's teachings. It's just that I have been in the palace for the past few days, and I only saw the official family once that day. The official's temperament is unknown to Zi Hua. I am afraid that the service will not be good and I will annoy the official family."

The Empress Dowager said comfortingly: "Even though the Empress is a monarch and minister, they are also a husband and wife. It is right to be in awe, but it is not right to be afraid and shrink back. You can be bold and cautious. Although the officials are unsmiling, they have a very good heart. He named you Empress, Naturally, I have a high regard for you. If a woman has the means, she can turn a hundred refined steels into soft fingers, and you are beautiful and dignified, why can't she win his heart. I have ordered Si Tianjian to choose an auspicious day for you After getting married, a woman's life is like a flowering process. The most beautiful day should be the day of the big wedding. You prepare well, no matter how cold the official family is, you will never disappoint the beautiful woman. You and the imperial concubine are both good children. I can see that, You are more respectful than her, so the officials are more interested in you. I am getting older, and I look forward to having the emperor's grandson as soon as possible, and you are in command of the harem, everything depends on you."

Yun Hua said, "I will try my best to assist the officials, but I am young, if there is something not thoughtful, I hope my mother will point me out."

The queen mother smiled and said: "You are a smart person, even without me, you can provoke the entire forbidden court." After saying that, she looked around, slightly raised her hand, and sent everyone out.

The huge palace was suddenly empty, and Yun Hua didn't know what her intentions were, so he asked hesitantly, "Is there anything you want to say to my concubine?"

The Empress Dowager said: "The official residence is in the Funing Palace, not far from your Qingning Palace. After you get married, you can often come and go..." In fact, it is not a small embarrassment for the Empress Dowager to care about her son's affairs.But it's helpless, if things go on like this, I'm afraid that the lifeline of Da Yue will be cut off, so I have to say some words to my face.

Yunhua blushed in an awkward manner, "Your Majesty means..."

"Officials focus on government affairs and don't pay attention to their own bodies. They can push back on the matter of getting lucky in the harem. I have persuaded him many times, but I was afraid that he would get bored by talking too much, so I had to let him go. Now You are his empress, and it is a great fortune for the empress to harmonize the qin and se. So you..." The queen mother tucked her nose, trying to put on a dignified appearance, but her face was always embarrassed, and she said angrily, "You can try to get close to him , he is also a body of flesh and blood, with such a beautiful queen in front of him, I don't believe that he can really enter meditation."

The queen mother expressed her wish tactfully. To put it bluntly, she hoped that Manghua would take the initiative, and even seduce her with color.Although she also had this plan, she felt ashamed when she heard others say it.She lowered her head and murmured, "I'm afraid of causing criticism. If it spreads to the previous court and the admonishers give me the title of Demon Queen, what should I do?"

She understood right away, she was indeed a transparent person.The Empress Dowager was overwhelmed, and waved her hands in an all-encompassing posture: "Don't be afraid, as long as you do what your mother said, who dares to criticize, tell him to just find the old man, and the old man come to reason with him."

The queen's canon has been established, and the next step is to prepare for the big wedding.Si Tianjian fixed the date, the second day of the sixth lunar month, and after a moment of trance, it was already close at hand.

For the sake of marriage, the big ceremony was done in the palace, which saved a lot of tedious etiquette for marriage.However, although the ceremony was slightly shortened, the process of dressing up was extremely lengthy.Bathing with fragrant soup, making powder, ordering noodles, and painting oblique red, tossing from the afternoon to the evening.

She patiently sat on the mat and let them tease her, and asked Brother Fo, "Does Sui Guo know about the big wedding today?"

Foge said, "Your Majesty has long sent envoys to congratulate you, and there were invitations sent to the inner court earlier, the princess forgot?"

She said oh, "I was probably too nervous, and I forgot all about it."

Ah Rong licked her hair for her, applied layer after layer of hair oil, looked at the person in the mirror and said with a smile: "I read a book before, it said that a woman's life is to live for the wedding day, no matter what the princess Married to the emperor of the Yue Kingdom, all women in the world envy you. So be happy, after all, the empress only gets married once in her life."

Speaking of this, she became more and more sentimental, no matter whether she was false or fake, it was true to visit the hall, to drink a cup of wine, and maybe to share the same bed, that was also true.She has always had a big idea, and it was her own choice to put herself in such a situation, and she really has nothing to complain about.

Aunt Jin saw that she was not happy, and said in a low voice: "There is one more thing to tell the princess. We found Mr. Cui, and Mr. Cui said that he would go to the forbidden court as soon as possible and get closer to the princess so that he can relieve her worries."

Yun Hua turned around in surprise, "The forbidden court is full of yellow gates, how did he enter the palace?"
