Chapter 61 (Begging Long Live Lord to flip my sign every night.)

In short, it was a win-win situation. The Empress Dowager preserved the status of the three concubines. In exchange, Yixing also smoothly promoted the position of concubine.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, she has gone too smoothly. Although she was temporarily treated in Shangyi Bureau due to Concubine Gong's interference, she later met Doctor Xia and has risen to this day.

In February, he entered the palace to participate in the talent show, and in June, he agreed. In that month, he was in the concubine and in July, he had never had a precedent since the founding of the country. Of course, everything depends on the emperor. This is an emperor with feelings, but he was seen when he was doing indecent things, so he was stubborn as a chaste and fierce woman.

Sometimes Yi Xing is also very glad, but fortunately he broke him and formed this bad relationship. If someone else was replaced, he would probably be thinking about promoting someone else's throne, and this good thing would not be his turn. Anyway, he entered the palace, and all his goals were to move towards the highest position as much as possible. As long as the emperor's obsession was not eliminated for a day, she would have the chance to rise straight. However, if he could be kind one day and pardon her elder brother and niece in one go, she would be happy to give up everything in the palace and return to the people.

The people from the cabinet came with the edict, and they were still in accordance with the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, saying that Chunpin was simple and gentle, and was promoted to Chunpin Concubine. All matters should be taken, and each of the officials reported the formalities.

The last sentence in this edict shows that the title of the title is not as simple as when he was awarded a concubine earlier. He must go through a very serious ceremony to make it appear legitimate.

The Yongshou Palace was waiting for the Imperial Heavenly Prison to see the good days, and finally it was scheduled to be held on the second day of the seventh month. Early that morning, Hanzhen and Yinzhu dressed up for their aunt and were enfeoffed to wear auspicious clothes. The clothes sent by the Sizhiku also changed from the fragrance of the concubine to the golden yellow of the concubine.

Yin Zhu surrounded her and put on the gold coral contract. While bowing to tidy up the hanging ribbons behind her, she murmured: "I followed my master, which has opened my eyes. Really, most of the daughters in the palace don't have the chance to serve the masters for a day when they leave the palace. But I am fine, I have experienced the poverty of agreeing and have seen the wealth of the concubine. Even if I go back in the future, it will be enough for me to brag for the rest of my life."

This is the truth. One person has achieved enlightenment and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and has been verified in this harem surrounded by high walls.

Who took her Jiao Yinzhu seriously? All the more experienced palace maids could use her. Here and there, they were doing the most tiring work and eating the worst food. Now that they are stepping out, who dares not call her "aunt"? Others have to endure three or five years to reach the realm, and she followed her aunt and grandma to do it in half a year. Sanya, who was at home, didn't love her uncle and didn't love her, now she is struggling. This is the distance from the Forbidden City. If she is just under the wall, she must go upstairs and howl.

Hanzhen is more beautiful than Yinzhu. She doesn't feel that emotion. She just carefully reminds the things to pay attention to when returning to the book, and then puts a blue crown on her aunt.

Everything was done and I pushed the person to the big bronze mirror all over my body. Although my aunt looked young, she really had the demeanor of being the harem.

Yixing felt very beautiful. He straightened his waist and touched the court beads on his chest that looked like a tied body. His temperament looked really grand, but it was really hot.

It is a matter of hard work to be granted during the Great Heroes, especially the ceremony of enfeoffment was held in the Palace of Supreme Harmony. If I had known that I would have suffered this way, it would have been more than two months since I was delayed.

Unfortunately, the auspicious time had been decided, so she had to bite the bullet and put on her shoulders. The group of people walked through the back right door, the middle right door, and went straight to the front of the Dan Palace of Taihe Palace. This court uniform was really heavy. Yixing reached the top step by step, feeling like a hard shell was covered with a heavy crown, and his neck seemed to be almost pounded short.

After finally entering the hall gate, the ritual case and incense case were set up in the center of this vast palace. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites were the chief and deputy envoys. After going back and forth, the treasures were placed on the ritual case.

The female official sang a ceremony and led the newly promoted Concubine Chun to perform six bows, three kneelings and three kowtows. Yi Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the drama of the previous dynasty's enthronement was over.

As for the etiquette of returning to the harem, it was not as complicated as the previous dynasty. The Empress Dowager rose to the seat in the main hall of Cining Palace. Yixing paid a prayer according to the previous etiquette. The Empress Dowager gave her a skeleton jade, saying, "I will be ranked as the fourth concubine from now on. In the future, I must be more cautious and be better for the talent."

Yixingdao is, "I thank the Queen Mother Lafayette for the grace of the grace."

The Empress Dowager nodded and asked someone to help her up. "Now the queen position is hanging in the air. Just go back and go to the Ganqing Palace to pay tribute. It's a hot day, so hot that you can't help but get over!"

Yixing was right, and then he left Cining Palace and returned to the shoulder carriage, heading all the way toward the Ganqing Palace.

Because of the title of concubines today, the emperor promoted the throne in the Ganqing Palace. The female official in the imperial court led the old lady into the hall. The emperor sat upright at the head, with a solemn face, and looked like the dignity of the emperor.

Yi Xing knelt on the mattress, and performed the grand ceremony of three kneeling and nine kowtows. The emperor said aloud and said seriously: "Although the Empress Dowager and I both recognized your promotion, compared with the concubines in the harem, you will definitely attract criticism. Be careful not to be arrogant and impetuous, and not to rely on favor to cause trouble. The Empress Dowager always fulfills his filial piety and is united with me to add a royal heir to the country as soon as possible."

Yi Xing below was dizzy and thought, but he came back to his senses. What was the emperor saying? It was natural to say that the word "The Emperor's Secret" was from the mouth of the empress dowager. There was no one who personally told him. He was "to be one with me". He was so shameless.

She glanced at herself strangely, and then the emperor realized that she seemed to have accidentally spoken out of her heart, which was a little embarrassed for a moment. But in this situation, she could not take back the words of blurting out, so she pretended to be calm and cleared her throat, and said in a low voice: "The courtesy has been completed. Thank you for your hard work today, go back and rest."

Yi Xing thanked her for her kindness, stood up and became blessed again. Just as she was about to leave the Zhengda Guangming Palace, she suddenly heard the emperor whisper, but in such a majestic tone, and threw a sentence like an extra reward: "I will have dinner in your palace today."

There is something like this? Yixing thought, isn’t she promoted to the throne today? It would be fine if he didn’t have any rewards, but he would have to go to her for a meal?

Of course, even though he complains in his heart, he would not be able to refuse flatly. He said, "The Lord of Long Sui comes to Yongshou Palace to eat to reward the servants' faces, and the servants cannot ask for it. However, the chef in the small kitchen is ordinary, and he is afraid that the hospitality is not good, so please forgive me."

The emperor said: "I don't care. They are all cooks in my palace. They are not much less skilled, I know."

Alas, if the emperor had half of the kindness of the Emperor of the Imperial Doctor Xia, he would not have been able to say anything. Yixing muttered, and had no choice but to laugh, pretend to be flattered, and happily went back to prepare.

The emperor sighed relaxedly. Just because he had this important matter today, he had done all the government affairs overnight. He had nothing to do for the first half of the day, so he waited for the Zhongshang Yongshou Palace to have dinner. After all, he was idle for the rest of the day. It would be better to have a nap with her. Although the two of them couldn't do anything, they could talk and fight.

The waiting time was too long, so she couldn't walk forward and followed her back, so she walked around several times in the hall and looked at the Western clock. It only took a quarter of an hour.

After all, Huai'en was an old man in front of the emperor. Seeing that Emperor Long Sui was like this, he mentioned his own opinion, "Today is the happy day for Concubine Chun to be officially enthroned. The master's master climbed to the gate of Yongshou Palace and had to have dinner at the Empress, but have you prepared a gift?"

The emperor hesitated, "Are you going to prepare a gift for a meal?"

Huaien smiled and said naturally, "For example, among the people, people get married and have a birthday, and relatives and friends visit each other for dinner, and it is not easy to have a hand. Although you are rewarded by the Empress, the Empress set up her own family. You should prepare for it when you pass by her palace. It is not a big deal. When you see you bring something, the Empress must be kind to you. This way, there is beauty in two ways, so why not do it?"

When the emperor heard this, he said very well. He was born in the imperial family and had few opportunities to get along with others. Naturally, he didn't understand the common customs of the people. Since he could bring some gifts to the old lady's good face, why would he hesitate? So he ordered Huai'en to prepare. After thinking about it, he said, "I'd better choose it yourself. Find a few things that are acceptable and send them to the Ganqing Palace."

Huai'en responded, and ran to the Sizhiku in person with a big sun. When he entered the door, sweat flowed down the brim of the hat. Yao Xiaoba saw that someone came and hurried out from the desk. While beating Qian'er, he went forward to pick up his cold hat and smiled, "What wind did you blow today? It blows the chief manager."

The eunuch beside him put on a towel and came. Huai'en took it over and wiped it. He turned around and sat in the official hat chair and said, "There is a ceremony for the concubine Chun who is enthroned. Long Sui Ye wants to give the concubine's jewelry. I am afraid that the people below will not do it properly, so I have to go there. Go and take out a few sets of the tops. I want to take them back and invite Long Sui Ye to choose them."

Yao Xiaoba yelled, "You have to choose this in person?"

"What do you think?" Huai'en took a sip of the herbal tea ceremony, "The holy family of the Concubine Chun is so grand that the things you want must be the best."

Yao Xiaoba responded and turned around and sent someone to pick up the jewelry. He looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. He said to Huai'en, "Master General, let me ask you about something. The current Empress Chun is the former queen's aunt. You can't be wrong, right?"

Huaien said yes, "How many old ladies can the Shang family have? That's right."

This time, Yao Xiaoba rubbed his hands and stammered: "I have to ask you for something... I'm going to tell you that when Concubine Chun was the daughter of the little palace in Shangyi Bureau, she went to the Sizhikuan to get the flowers. I made things difficult for her once. Now she has been promoted and I don't know whether to remember the grudges of the past. Look, I don't have any bad intentions, but sometimes I don't know how to recognize Mount Tai. If Concubine Chun wants to get along with me in the future, you have to pull me a hand because we have been carrying a broom together since we were young."

Huai'en looked back at him in surprise, "Do you still have this knot?" and shook his head as he said, "You... I've said many times that don't bully the young man, you just don't listen. But Concubine Chun is not such a stingy person. Maybe she has forgotten you long ago. You should keep your heart in your stomach first, and no big deal will happen."

Yao Xiaoba repeatedly said yes, and the man below brought the jewelry box. He bent over and delivered it to Huai'en, and repeatedly entrusted it several times before he sent the person out of the hospital.

Huai'en hurried back to the Ganqing Palace, and ordered the palace maids to line up with jewelry boxes, opened the lid, and said with a sigh: "They are all the latest styles of the Sizhiku, please take a look."

The emperor looked at the women's jewelry in a box at a time. They saw that there were many kinds of jewelry, such as shaking hairpins and jadeite, which made his mind hurt. Finally, he walked away with his hands behind his back and frowned and said, "I can't pick up the good or bad either, I can take them all."

Huai'en said, he hurriedly packed it one by one again. Seeing that it was almost done, he served the emperor out of Fengcai Gate and headed straight to Yongshou Palace.

The Emperor was coming to have a free meal in Yongshou Palace, so he had to make extensive arrangements.

Yixing stood in front of the hall gate and assigned, "Move that elm wine table to the west, it will be cooler there..."

When he turned around, he saw that the emperor had arrived at the palace gate. He was walking in front, followed by several eunuchs holding boxes. Originally, Yixing didn't welcome him very much, but because he was given the gift, he had to cheer up and support him.

"It's so hot outside, Long live the sun..." He took two steps forward to express his gratitude, turned his head and ordered Yin Zhu, "Prepare jasmine herbal tea."

The emperor also said a few good words according to Huai'en's advice, "Today is your happy day. I will congratulate you. I have prepared some small things to you and hope you can accept it with a smile."

The old aunt looked at the boxes and smiled like flowers. She said, "How can you be so embarrassed?" and welcomed the person into the Western Sensei room.

"Long live for a while, and the banquet will start after speaking." Yi Xing presented him with great affection and asked someone to put the box into the dormitory.

"Hey, the sky is getting hotter." She started to say nothing, "I would have known how good it would have been to hold the enthronement ceremony in a while."

The emperor sat upright and pressed his knees and said, "I'm in a hurry to do it because I'm going to Chengde in two days. This trip was originally scheduled last year, but unfortunately, the war in Mobei has been frequent this year and has been delayed until today. Now the dilemma has been resolved, and I just happened to accompany the Queen Mo to escape the summer heat. I'll stay for at least two or three months. If you don't get your business done, you have to wait until you return to Beijing. I'm afraid you will be impatient."

When Yixing heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened, "Want to go to Chengde? Chengde from the Eight Temples?"

The emperor glanced at her, knew what she was thinking, and said indifferently: "Although the palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the rules are as strict as in the palace. Concubines are not allowed to go out for no reason. Don't try the law with your body."

Yixing explained clearly, "I am just a little happy." He paused and asked, "Long live, can you take your family with me when you go there?"

She was still thinking about the old lady at home. After being deposed, it was said that she had been practicing in the eight temples. The eldest brother in the family had a mess, and the two brothers were all in other places to do errands. One was a long way to go, and the other was also implicated. No one cared about this niece. The old lady saw the world and talked about her wishes, but she only regretted that the court was supervising and could not rush to Chengde. This time, since she was so arrogant that she could escape the summer heat, if she could bring the old lady with her and let her see her wishes, she would feel the old lady's heart.

The emperor was very dissatisfied with her words, "Take your family? Who are your family members? When you enter the palace, you are all other people's family members, and you can still take care of your family members?"

Yixing is not very helpful now. "I have entered the palace, do you want any relatives in the family? The family I mentioned naturally refers to my nirvana."

The emperor said no, "There is no precedent for concubines to take care of their families, and the rules cannot be broken." Of course, being too tough will inevitably hurt your feelings. He also took a step back and said, "That's it. In order to celebrate your promotion, I plan to reward you with a 500 taels of silver for the sake of a family. Chengde will not go, after all, it is embarrassing to see the empress dowager. This generation is messy, and no one can call you at that time."

Speaking of seniority, it is indeed very chaotic. My aunt and nephew have entered the palace one after another. Now the emperor has 80% doubts about himself and cannot tell what kind of generation he is. Yixing is not such a mess. He is preparing to be as respectful as possible in his attitude towards the emperor. After all, there are many misunderstandings between the two. Although she had been attracted to Doctor Xia, she later revealed her true form and fed the dog with this relationship. When facing the emperor, it is more appropriate to keep her duties.

She said, "You are too polite. If you don't let me take it, don't take it. Why should I give you money?"

The emperor nodded after hearing this, "It will be possible if you don't reward..."

The smile on her face immediately bloomed even brighter, "But if you don't accept it, you seem ignorant of being polite. That servant will give you the Lord Long Live."

So if you talk to her, you have to turn a few more turns. If you respond according to her wishes, you may have to mess up everything.

After the emperor had this understanding, he immediately felt refreshed and could see through the confused way forward. Therefore, when the old aunt said that lunch was almost ready, the emperor said that he was not hungry yet, so he would sit for a while and say a few heartwarming words.

Yixing was busy with enthronement in the morning. He used two bites of breakfast and was not full. He pointed at Zhongshang for a good meal. But the emperor was not in a hurry, so she had to endure hunger and sit by the side to accompany her.

"Then long live, what kind of heartwarming words do you want to hear? A slave can write it up." As a result, the emperor rolled his eyes.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Today, I pardoned the imperial concubines and the others according to the Queen Mother's wishes. This time I go back to Chengde, do you think they should be with me?"

Yi Xing was absent-minded, "Since you have forgiven me, what's the reason for not following the escort?"

The emperor pondered for a while and nodded slowly, "Although the Empress Dowager and I both moved to Chengde, there are many trivial matters in the palace, and there are also concubines who stay in the capital to take care of them, so let them stay." After a pause, he asked again, "In your opinion, how should they deal with their green-headed cards? Should they stay or go?"

When he asked these words, his eyes looked at her as if her opinions were very important. Yixing suddenly felt that the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders, and thought carefully: "The restoration of the position means that the Emperor has not been blamed. Since the golden words are spoken, he must not regret it. The emperor should follow the original rules and let their green-headed cards come back to the front of the emperor, so that the empress dowager can live up to the painstaking efforts."

This passage is finally very clear about the righteousness. Isn’t the imperial family the most fond of high-sounding? However, just when Yixing firmly believed that the emperor would fall down, he glanced at her with a little shy look, "I know, and I will never turn their green heads into the future, so that they will know that they are unforgivable to violate the power of heaven. If this matter is so easy to turn over this article, then the concubines will be fearless in the future. Everyone can set traps and tricks. Over time, will this harem be out of order!"

Yixing was stunned and looked at him in a daze and said, "What do you say and what are you refuting? Why are you asking me for?"

The emperor seemed to have not heard of it, and slowly turned his finger on his hand and said, "I won't say much to you. I'll ask you another thing, do you think I should turn your brand every night and create the illusion of your pet in the pepper room?"

This time, Yixing didn't even think about it and made a quick decision to say, "After all, it's the first time I've made a mistake. I thought I should make a mistake to the end. You haven't turned the brand for several months. To be honest, I think you must have something to do with it. Since that's the case, please turn my brand every night. I'm so confused for the master and don't lie."

Another paragraph of words that took into account the overall situation was more thorough than before. Sure enough, the emperor narrowed his eyes, "Are you serious?"

Yixing said firmly, "After a word from my aunt, it's hard to pursue."

The old emperor sarcastically pulled the corner of his mouth, "You are indeed a woman who is greedy for fame."

Yixing nodded. Anyway, she didn't want to be flipped by him. It would be too boring to really draw the Bird Cards every night. She had suspected that the emperor had an affair with Doctor Xia, but later she found out that they were the same person. So why didn't the emperor flip the cards, it became incredible. Maybe he had any hidden secrets.

I thought she would do the opposite this time, and he would probably refute it again, but who knew that she was completely wrong.
