The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 291 Yide
On the other side, in Yikun Palace, Wanyu and Concubine Yi are sitting in the bedroom and chatting.

At that time, Concubine Yi learned early in the morning that Liang Jiugong brought people to Chengqian Palace to announce the decree. Instead of feeling displeased, she took it calmly and talked and laughed happily with Wanyu.

"Now that I have established myself as a concubine, I am on an equal footing with my elder sister. I can no longer play childish temper, and I need to be more prudent in doing things."

Wan Lai loosened her neck lazily, took a grape and peeled it and ate it. She said it was sweet and didn't answer Yi Concubine's words.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Yi shook her head helplessly and said with a smile: "After all, you are not serious, and I don't know what the emperor likes about you."

"The emperor is of one heart and one mind with us. Naturally, if you look at Elder Sister, you will look at me."

Just as I was chatting, San Shun let out a solemn voice outside the hall, saying that it was Liang Jiugong who came to worship with all the people. Concubine Yi was wondering why he had come to Yikun Palace at this moment. She was still suspicious, but she saw Liang Jiugong bent down and entered the room alone. , Seeing Concubine Yi, she knelt down straight and said, "My servant please concubine Yi."

Who is Liang Jiugong? He has been serving the emperor since he was young, and he just nods his head and beats his concubines when he sees his concubines on weekdays. Apart from facing the emperor, empress and the two empress dowagers, where is the reason to bow down?

"Eunuch Liang, what are you doing? Please get up." Concubine Yi hurriedly ordered Liang Jiugong to get up, and then asked, "Has the imperial decree of Chengqian Palace been passed down?"

Liang Jiugong nodded, Wanyu immediately looked at Concubine Yi, and said with a smile, "Look, it's time for us to say goodbye to Rong Yue."

Liang Jiugong smiled cryptically, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, you two, we'd better wait for the servant to announce the imperial decree to Yikun Palace before going."

As he said, he pulled out the imperial decree with bright yellow wind dragon and phoenix pattern from his sleeve and placed it on the top. Only when Concubine Yi and Wanyu knelt down together did he slowly roll up the imperial decree.

Concubine Yi was full of doubts, but she heard Liang Jiugong proclaiming the decree in a solemn voice: "I only follow the law of the universe, and internal governance is the foundation of human relations. Teaching the family and the country, and rituals are the foundation of kingship. Zi Shude inherits the virtues. It is appropriate to rectify the name And Dun Dian. Zier concubine Niu Hulu family. She is the daughter of Gong Nibilong. Zhongxiang family. Yuxiu famous family. Sexuality is gentle and Zhuang. Duxian etiquette. Roujia model, Feng Zhaoling is famous in the court. Yongsu Hold the body and allow the mother's ceremonies at home and abroad. I hereby honor the empress dowager's benevolent order. I use the book Baolier as the queen. Erqi is sincere and filial to honor the imperial concubine. Respect and thrift is the imperial concubine. Respect the ancestors, and Hongkai Yiye Zhixiang .Yi praise Zhen Gong, Mao wrote the rule of Yonghe. Qin Zai."

The hall was as quiet as if there was no one there, Concubine Yi only felt the world spinning for a while, something buzzing in her mind almost exploded.

Queen?Lier as the queen?

This was originally what I was looking forward to the most, but I had no hope for a long time ago, but it suddenly fell on me like this, I don't know how it feels in my heart.

Wannai felt sad, seeing that Concubine Yi was still in a daze, and wanted to laugh that she was overjoyed, but she shed tears before she could open her mouth, tightly clutching Concubine Yi's hand, her words choked up: "Elder sister, what's wrong with you?" One day, we are finally looking forward to it.”

Because of joy, Wan Lai held Concubine Yi's hand indifferently. It was because of such real pain that she pulled Concubine Yi's soul back and realized that this was not a dream.

She looked back at Wanyu's teary eyes, and she also had tears flickering: "How could it be me? Why me?"

Seeing that the two masters were still kneeling, Liang Jiugong hurriedly said: "Empress, please hurry up and take over the decree. After the decree is announced, if you kneel again, you will kill the servant."

Hearing Liang Jiugong calling himself Empress Empress, Yide's ears were stuffed with thin cotton, and the subsequent voice could no longer be heard clearly.

Wanlao supported Yide to get up, Liang Jiugong immediately waved his whip and called out 'Xing' loudly.

Outside the house, the eunuchs who had been waiting early in the morning filed in and said: "Brother with the emblem, may the empress be blessed and safe."

The ceremonial officer held the gift book and read it respectfully: "From the emperor, there are thirty pairs of constant armor, 200 taels of gold, 6000 taels of platinum, one gold tea pot, two silver tea pots, two round silver basins, six hundred pieces of satin, One thousand pieces of cloth. Another dowry gift was sent to the empress's mother's house at the same auspicious time. The gift said: thirty saddle horses, twenty pairs of armor, ten pairs of armor, a golden tea pot, a round silver basin, and a hundred satin Two hundred horses and two hundred pieces of cloth. I gave my stepfather a mink court dress, a mink fur coat, a dress from time to time, complete with a crown, belt and boots. The stepmother, a court dress from python satin, a skirt, and a dress from time to time. "①
Yide watched the dazzling array of big weddings, and quietly held Wanyu's hand. There were beads of damp sweat soaking in the fingertips of the two of them. Wanyu concentrated on her, as if she had infinite emotion.

After tossing around for half a day, the Yikun palace was filled with gifts, Liang Jiugong finally smiled and said: "The empress is overjoyed, the canonization ceremony is scheduled for August 22, it is an auspicious day for you and the imperial concubine to be canonized together."

"Imperial Concubine?" Wan Lai was suspicious, and then happily said: "Eldest Sister, Elder Sister Rong Yue is a noble concubine!"

Yide nodded and said: "It's really good news." Then, he took two ingots of gold ingots from the ceremony and pressed them in Liang Jiugong's hands: "Eunuch Liang has worked hard."

Liang Jiugongdui smiled and held the ingot in his arms, bowed and took everyone away with blessings.

At that time, as soon as the man left the palace, Wan Yu and the palace servants knelt down to Concubine Yi and said in unison: "May the queen be blessed and safe!"

Yide was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over to help Wanyu stand up, and said angrily: "Where is there such a joke about looking at my sister like this?"

"Where is the joke? The emperor thinks highly of the elder sister and thinks of the friendship with the elder sister for many years from the bottom of his heart. Even if the previous dynasty strongly recommends Rong Yue as the empress, the emperor rejects all opinions and chooses the elder sister as the empress?"

"Really?" Yi Deyou wasn't confident, he couldn't help stroking the pigeon-colored finger on his thumb: "The emperor really values ​​the friendship with me?"

She was like a child who suddenly received the great news, she was overjoyed and left with infinite emotion.

"To tell you the truth, I was delighted just now, but for some reason, my heart is gripped by such a good thing, and I can't stop beating non-stop, feeling that something bad is about to happen. "

"What did elder sister say?" Wanyu squinted her eyes, and raised her eyebrows at Yide: "I look at elder sister because I am nervous after the canonization ceremony?" She moved closer to Yide, whispering in her ear You Feng said: "The elder sister will be carried to the Kunning Palace by eight sedan chairs, and wear wedding clothes with the emperor, choose a hipa, and drink a quilt. At this point, the elder sister is the emperor's official wife! All these years of infatuation, At last, he was not let down. Why does the emperor care about what Eldest Sister asked for? Why does such a friendship make Eldest Sister feel a lot of anxiety?"

Thinking of the troubles in the future, Yide couldn't help but blush.

She and Wan Lai held their fingers tightly together, as if they were strolling in the courtyard of the mansion when they were young, as if everything seemed like yesterday.

Afterwards the concubines in the palace congratulated him, but Yide didn't see anything except Rongyue.

The bleakness of autumn unfolded slowly like a curtain, and since the day when the imperial decree was proclaimed, the sky has always been gray and cloudless, but it does not match the jubilant scene of this palace.

　Note ①: According to historical records, when Emperor Kangxi canonized Empress Xiaozhao, these were the gifts.
