Chapter Seventy-Two: A Trench
A day later, the second princess also held a full moon ceremony, this time in addition to some women in the harem, there were also some wives and ceremonial officials of the previous dynasty, even the queen mother did not participate in this ceremony, it can be seen how big the difference between a princess and a brother is!
What followed was the fifth day of the sixth month, and this day was the first birthday ceremony of Baocheng's birth.
They know that when the fifth elder brother was full moon, just because the eldest elder brother pinched the second elder brother's cheek, the second elder brother beat the eldest elder brother, and now when they see that fat little cheek, they can't help but feel a little rare, but those boys in their family are not as good-looking as the second elder brother at all.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but compare, look at this eyebrow, look at this eyebrow, look at this eye, it is the facial features of others, they can't help but feel spirited, especially when they see the peerless Guo Guiren, they feel that the second elder brother is worthy of being born by Guo Niangniang, and he looks good.
Then, they saw the concubine Niu Co Lu next to them, because the day Qin Tianjian checked was the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and today was the fifth day of the first month of June, so Niu Co Lu Ruyue and Sang Zi were still in their previous positions, but everyone knew that they should be promoted immediately.
In a lot drawing ceremony, Bao Cheng took away everything on the table, and finally reluctantly looked at the jade pendants and other things hanging on everyone's waists, and then returned to his mother's arms to seek comfort.
When Kangxi left, he couldn't help but look at the mother and son who wanted silver for death, and in the end, he left directly with everyone, and couldn't help but think in his heart, when he was free, he must teach them well, lest they teach their fifth elder brother badly.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, Qin Tianjian prepared the ceremony earlier, and when she and Ruyue appeared in the costumes that belonged to their positions, the ceremony was held slowly, and when the holy decree was handed down, Sang Zi was named Concubine Yi, and Niu Colu Ruyue was named Concubine Wenxi, and later, it was the bow of the wives and the end of the ceremony, which was relieved.
Sang Zi, who had been tired for a long time, directly asked people to prepare bathing items, and when her body was soaked in water, she felt a lot better. Zhiqin and Zhihua around her, slowly serving her, just when she was about to fall asleep, she was woken up by them in a daze, and returned to bed and got up.
Early in the morning of the seventh day of June
"The concubine to the imperial concubine Niangniang (sister) to say goodbye, I wish Niangniang (sister) a long life and good health!"
The crowd saluted in unison.
"Sisters, get up!" said that, the imperial concubine sat on the chair with a smile, and the grandmother beside her had already prepared a cup of tea for her and delivered it to her.
"Slaves and maids (concubines), Xie Huang Guifei Niangniang (sister). ”
As he spoke, the crowd saluted again, and then they found a seat and sat down.
On the upper seat of the main hall, there are two positions, the east side sits the imperial concubine, the west side sits Niu Colu Ruyue (now the concubine), and the east side has four chairs, now only Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and Chang Guiren are seated, leaving an empty seat empty there.
On the four chairs on the west side, Sang Zi is still sitting at the top, and the remaining three chairs are sitting Shu Guiren, An Guiren, and Yan Guiren, as for the other women, they are not qualified to sit down, so everyone is standing there in a row according to their rank.
Seeing that her western seat was sitting by Concubine Wen (Niu Colu Ruyue), the imperial concubine was angry, but she had no choice, that is, when Empress Hesheri was alive, Niu Colu and Guifei could sit there, not to mention, she was only an imperial concubine now, and the other party was also a concubine, but she was a little taller than her.
The imperial concubine, who was in an unhappy mood, was not willing to make others happy, so she took a sip of tea and said with a slight sigh: "I remember that when Sister Niu Colu was alive, she sat in that position, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days, and it was Sister Wen's turn to sit." As he spoke, he sighed.
Concubine Wen's hand trembled, and the teacup in her hand overflowed slightly, only to see her looking straight at the imperial concubine: "Sister Tong seems to have said something wrong, when Queen Hesheri was alive in the past, my sister was just the emperor's concubine Tong, and now, my sister has begun to take care of the entire harem for the emperor, so it can be seen that the bitterness is coming." ”
This sentence is ruthless enough, directly pointing out the previous position of the imperial concubine, and even more ironic that she is only taking care of the harem now, which means that you are just a person chosen by the emperor at random, what is there to be proud of?
The imperial concubine was suffocated and almost choked herself, why didn't she find out that Niu Colu used to maintain the little sister everywhere, and she had such a sharp side, could it be that she had covered it up too well before? Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning, it seems that Empress Niu Colu is dead, and she didn't forget to find a hostile person for herself.
Sister Wen laughed, my sister has been serving the emperor for so many years, if Sister Wen doesn't understand anything, just for Sister Wen's sake of calling the palace a sister, the palace must know everything and say everything. The imperial concubine smiled, not noticing anything wrong with her words.
Concubine Wen sneered, took a sip of fragrant tea, and looked at the imperial concubine Tong: "If Sister Tong has a heart, she might as well teach the maids around her, lest a pregnant woman come out one day, think about it, Sister Tong likes to serve the emperor with the servants the most." ”
The imperial concubine's face began to crack, and even her breathing became rough, the thing she regretted the most in her life was to let the slave around her become pregnant with the imperial heir, but although she regretted it again, the fact had already been caused, and now that this matter was brought up again, she didn't mention how uncomfortable it was.
Sang Zi continued to taste the tea in her hand, and couldn't help but applaud Ruyue's counterattack in her heart, she didn't expect that the death of Queen Niu Colu would have such a big blow to Ruyue, originally, what she didn't like the most was these twists and turns, and now she began to refute it.
Obviously a good thing, but she felt that there would never be a return to the past between the two, perhaps because everyone had to make compromises after going through too much.
Whether it was the people who were sitting or the palace people who were standing, they all knew the smell of gunpowder between the imperial concubine and the concubine, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only keep silent, and when the meeting was dismissed, the imperial concubine said some words and let people leave.
When everyone left, Sang Zi looked at Ruyue, who was already called Concubine Wen, and the two stood in place and looked at each other, only four or five steps apart, but no one spoke first.
Later, Sang Zi bowed and left first, the melancholy in his heart was beyond words, and he could only hope that the two would not be enemies in the future.
