The queen is alluring

Chapter 37

Although the Empress Dowager is in the middle palace, she has no real power. Coupled with the eternal admonition that her relatives should not interfere in politics, so that when the late emperor was alive, she never attended all the grand occasions. I have never carried this jade phoenix belt again.

Yun Qing looked at the shining phoenix belt, but her eyes were still peaceful. She lowered her head slowly and said softly: "Thank you, Queen Mother"

"Wan'er, your life is better than that of the Ai family." The queen mother looked at the phoenix belt obsessively, with a sad expression on her face, as if recalling the scene when she entered the palace, she said lightly: "Back then, the Ai family Entering the palace to celebrate happiness, because the late emperor was weak and sick all the year round, so even the canonization ceremony was extremely simple, and the harem advocated frugality, so the Ai family had never touched these things a few times in their life, but now it’s okay, why do you Empress, the emperor is still young, and this is the emperor's first big wedding..."

"Wan'er doesn't care whether the wedding is expensive or not." Yun Qing followed the Queen Mother's words and said flatteringly.However, it is also true.

The queen mother wanted to use these to spy on where her heart was and where her intentions were.

It's a pity that if the queen mother's spying is foolproof, then her defense will be impeccable.

The queen mother was slightly stunned, she stared at Yun Qing suspiciously, and when she saw her indifferent expression, her eyes sank, it seemed that today's hard work was superfluous.

This little queen, from the day she entered the palace, she could see that she was unusual, but she couldn't figure out whether her indifference and desolation was 'not caring' or 'not caring'.If she 'doesn't care', then everything is easy to talk about and everyone is happy. If she 'doesn't care' about being the queen, but has other plans, then...

"You went to court in the morning, and watched these with Ai's family. I'm tired after thinking about it. Let's go to rest." The queen mother knew that she couldn't find anything today, so she didn't plan to continue this scene, so she said lightly .

The play is over, it's time to leave.The corner of Yun Qing's lips curled up into a sneer, then he bowed respectfully and said, "The Empress Dowager also take care of her health, Wan'er will leave."

After the events of Yan Meiren and Liu Meiren in the imperial palace, the world has been turned upside down, and now the matter of the little empress’s early courtship against all the ministers has blown across the entire Jinling City like the wind. Immediately, the people of the entire Xuanye Kingdom were erupting in amazement. And there was unprecedented tranquility in the harem.

The name of the little queen, Leng Wan'er, sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and was widely recited by everyone in Xuanye Kingdom.

The princes from all walks of life who rushed to Jinling to attend the little emperor's wedding were also slightly suspicious and shocked. Many people even stepped through the gate of Jianzhang Palace to see the demeanor of the six-year-old queen. She was rejected by the queen mother for various reasons.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was July 28th, and the palace was even more busy. The pavilions, pavilions, ten-step hall, and five-step corridors were all luxuriously arranged. Red silk and satin tie flowers were hung on the floating dragon stone pillars carved with red gold. , Rows of lanterns dance in the wind like flames, and at dusk, the whole palace is lit up, bright and charming.

The Empress Dowager personally delineated Chenxi Palace and Lingxiao Palace as the empress' wedding halls, so three days before the wedding, hundreds of feet long red carpets had been laid inside and outside the two palaces, and the dragon and phoenix totems on them were lifelike.

The bright red happy characters on the panes and beams and pillars are particularly eye-catching. Pairs of big red dragon and phoenix candles with the thickness of a child's arm were brought in from outside the palace and placed inside and outside the hall. Stacked, phoenix-tailed gold hooks hang on the four walls, a piece of gold.

A bed made of mahogany inlaid with ivory consumes tens of thousands of catties of gold to cast carved dragon pillars, red curtains hang around, bright yellow tent flags hang down on both sides, white jade dragons and phoenixes hang on the top of the curtain, and white jade carved auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes inside and outside The screen is separated by a frame inlaid with red gold beasts, and the hibiscus couch and phoenix chair made of golden nanmu are arranged on both sides of the outer hall, showing the prosperity, prosperity and splendor everywhere.

In the past few days, Yun Qing lived in seclusion, and those trying on the wedding dress and teaching the etiquette of the canonization hall had occupied all her time.

Because there can be no mistake in accepting congratulations from hundreds of officials and princes from the four directions at the canonization ceremony, so even the maid who served Yun Qing on weekdays has changed from a girl in the [-]th or [-]th year to a girl in her thirties who has some qualifications and meets the scene. Mammy.

The etiquette instructors handpicked by the Empress Dowager are Wu Yisi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Yanping, Minister of Rites. Although these two are awed by Yun Qing's wisdom and foresight in the court, they are still strict and dedicated in teaching, and dare not be slack or sloppy.

On July 29, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree offering rewards for meritorious service.

The gold ingot of Dragon and Phoenix Double Happiness cast by Leng Zhongwanliang, the head of the state.

In the cold war of the country's uncle, there were twenty horses that Bei Bohou paid tribute to.

Because the second wife was disabled, the third wife was canonized as the first-rank wife, and rewarded with a thousand pieces of silk, satin and cloth, a hundred pieces of gold beads, three plates of jade, two buckets of pearls, and countless rouge and gouache;

From the maidservant to the concubine, housekeeper, family general, etc., all the people in the prime minister's mansion rewarded 50 taels of gold ingots and a piece of red silk as a blessing.

On July 31, Wen Yankai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Yisi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Tong Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, performed three worships and nine kowtows in front of the main hall of the Jianzhang Palace, welcoming the dragon chariot carrying the treasure book and the queen's golden phoenix seal. Ten steps down the white jade steps of the Jinluan Hall, covered with hundreds of feet of red silk, waiting for tomorrow's emperor to unseal.

But this last night, how many people will be sleepless?
In the Hanzhang Hall in the backyard of Jianzhang Palace, the curtains swayed slightly in the night wind, the curtains danced, and the white jade tassels made a crisp sound.

Yun Qing was sitting in front of the mirror in the inner hall, her heavy and cumbersome court clothes and phoenix crown had been removed, the last ceremony of teaching the canonization ceremony today was over, but her petite figure had been made by these golden twisted threads Fengpao was so tired that his neck ached.

Changing into the usual bright red casual attire, Yun Qing stepped out of the inner hall, Wu Yisi and Wang Yanping had packed up, kowtowed on the mats outside the main hall and prepared to leave.

"The two adults have worked hard these few days, and I am very grateful." Yun Qing looked at the calm and introverted Wu Yisi and the thin and shrewd Wang Yanping, and said lightly.

"The queen's words are serious. The ministers should do their duty and dare not take credit." Wu Yisi said calmly, then kowtowed and got up, and before leaving, he said: "Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, and I ask the queen to take care of your body. go to bed earlier”

The two days of teaching, because of the scorching heat and scorching heat, were indeed very hard work.But it also made Wu Yisi see that this little queen is more different, because of such rigorous training, even the many nuns sent by the queen mother sometimes fainted from exhaustion, but this body is not enough, The petite and emaciated queen was able to persevere with her spine, and she did it unexpectedly well.
