Chapter 31: The Canonization Ceremony
Hearing this, I took the lead, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in Fenglan Hall knelt down. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info small silver unfolded the holy decree, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: the king of Dunmu nine clans, concord Wanbang, thick people in the national style, the test of the sister in Yixiang, the imperial sister Roujia is qualitative, graceful and elegant, inheriting the destiny of the phoenix; ”
I received the decree and thanked him, and I only felt extraordinarily heavy in my hand when I took the decree, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I looked up at the sky in all directions, whether it was in the previous life or rebirth, some lives could not be escaped.
"The hour is not early, according to the customs of Fengchi, it is time for the canonization ceremony, the princess will go to the Fengyang Palace with the slaves!"
Except for Su'er and Pei'er, the palace maids and eunuchs around me all stayed in Fenglan Palace.
As the sun began to sink in the west, a few clouds hung lazily in the blue sky, and occasionally a few tired birds flew by, and after dusk, the night was ready to move.
Fengchi from the ancestors to expand the territory, the kings of the past dynasties ascended the throne, the concubines and princesses canonization ceremony is set at dusk, the Fengchi royal family believes that dusk is the junction of day and night, yellow is a symbol of the king's identity, forbidden to the red yellow clothes. Even things related to red and yellow were expressly forbidden, especially during the reign of Emperor Injong. And after dusk, night came, and everything was gloomy. The royal family of Fengchi believes that in the dark night, only the pearl can compete with the sun and the moon, and the kings of the past dynasties believe that it is the pearl, the most dazzling in the dark, can save energy overnight, and the same source as the sun when the morning sun is born, endlessly, through the ages.
I sighed in my heart, when I was thirteen years old, it was also the same situation now, and in the same Fengyang Palace, my father personally canonized the title of the first princess. Later, the fate has changed, and now, I have changed my identity and started again, and I don't know what kind of situation will be waiting for me.
Unconsciously, he had arrived outside the Fengyang Palace, and the sound of ritual music came into his ears from the hall. Looking at the Fengyang Palace, I remembered the dream I had just now, and that huge golden phoenix appeared here......
My thoughts wandered, only to hear Xiao Yinzi tear open his throat and shout: "Princess Changfeng has arrived!"
I straightened my body and slowly approached the main hall, the red carpet was spread all the way to the threshold, the civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and the imperial brother sat majestically on the main seat in a bright yellow dragon robe, and everyone's eyes moved with me. I walked to the middle, knelt down and bowed, and the eunuch announced loudly, "The canonization ceremony begins, sound the trumpet!"
After finishing speaking, the three attendants held the rhino horn trumpet, and the horn sounded three times, and went straight to the top of the sky.
After the horn sounded, the eunuch began to read the canonization decree, I knelt on the ground, my head was almost buried in my hands and arms, my eyes touched the flowing phoenix bracelet, and I remembered what the golden phoenix said in the dream, and I thought about Fenglin, the twentieth month of the month and the rescue...... What does it mean, and what does it mean? Does it call my master, does it ask me to save it? The twentieth day of the lunar month can be understood as a date, but what is Fenglin? I was startled by my own thoughts, and then I thought about it, but it was just a dream, and it was a bit absurd.
When I came back to my senses, I only heard the eunuch finish the last sentence: "Don't forget the precepts of the public words, and canonize as the princess of Changfeng, admire this!"
"Thank you, Emperor Longen. "I was still kneeling, my feet tingling slightly.
"Please ask the emperor to give Princess Changfeng the princess seal and add the crown of Jiuyi. After the eunuch finished speaking, all the ministers sighed, and I was so shocked that I almost threw myself on the ground. The royal brother actually gave the crown of Jiuyi, whether the concubine or the princess of the harem, they were crowned on the day of canonization, according to different grades from one Yi to Jiuyi, generally the concubines below the four Yi princesses did not have the canonization ceremony, and above the four Yi, they were crowned by the emperor on the day of canonization, which has shown that the status is noble. The princess's and the concubine's will be distinguished in style, and the princess's canonization is generally not out of the cabinet, so the crown shall not be inlaid with jade and jadeite, and it is generally inlaid with gemstones.
And the princess canonization, since the founding of the country, there has never been a Jiuyi, in the previous life, I was only the first princess of Qiyi. Jiuyi, but she can be compared to the queen! Brother Huang, this is just nonsense!
"Your Majesty, this Jiuyi Crown must not be!" Xie Wenyuan stood up, although I couldn't look up, but I remember his voice firmly, and said to the imperial brother with disdain and disgust: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, Fengchi has never had a precedent for sealing the princess of Jiuyi, not to mention that she is still a folk princess without a trace of royal blood, and she is comparable to the queen, doesn't it make the world laugh at her?" Your Majesty, please think twice!"
This time, although I was very unhappy with Xie Wenyuan's words, I still agreed with his statement, after all, the tree is too big, and it is too ostentatious and troublesome.
"Xie Aiqing, why not? Regardless of whether Princess Changfeng is my righteous sister, just by virtue of the phoenix life figure identified by the eyes of the flowing phoenix bracelet, this Princess Jiuyi, she, what point should she not deserve?" The imperial brother's tone was very cold, with an unquestionable color, I dare to conclude that if anyone dares to say more at this time, with the temperament of the imperial brother, he will definitely be furious. Although the imperial brother said that he was indifferent, he couldn't give up half of the things he decided.
As soon as the imperial brother said it, Xie Wenyuan had no choice but to give up and sigh reluctantly. But I felt a cold gaze shining directly at me, my body trembled slightly, it seems that the beam between me and Xie Wenyuan is getting bigger and bigger.
Xie Wenyuan became cannon fodder first, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to hit the muzzle of the gun without incident, just seal it, just seal it, it's just a folk princess with no background power, everyone has their own ghosts, and they don't say much.
The royal brother walked down from the dragon chair, walked in front of me before I raised my head, straightened up, a palace maid stood behind the imperial brother with a Jiuyi crown, the imperial brother took the Jiuyi crown, the crown is the size of two palms, the whole body is red gold, delicate hollow carving, inlaid with a large ruby in the middle, a pair of larks are lifelike, the mouth of the finch falls with tassels, and the eyebrows are lowered. On both sides, four larks are inlaid with wings, each of which has an emerald gemstone.
The imperial brother put the Jiuyi crown on my head and fixed it, and I only felt that my head sank, and my head was almost crushed to the ground. After wearing the Jiuyi crown and receiving the princess seal, the eunuch shouted to bow and bow, wearing the heavy Jiuyi crown, and I felt a grief in my heart.
"Bow down!"
I worship, my head feels like I can't lift it up when I go down to the ground, woo woo woo...... I struggled to straighten up.
"Prostrate again!"
Again, I prostrated myself with grief.
"Three prostrations!"
"Licheng!"
Three bows and three bows. I only felt that my neck was going to be broken, and my feet were kneeling and I was about to lose consciousness, however, it was not over, the master of Fu'an Temple chanted and prayed for blessings, and the entire canonization ceremony was completed two-thirds, and I heard that I was like losing half my life, I wondered, how did I survive when I was canonized as the first princess in my previous life, I really admired myself.
After reciting the scriptures in Fu'an Temple, I was helped up by Su'er, a pair of feet as if they were not their own, they didn't listen to the call at all, and they barely stood firm by Su'er.
The next step is to accept the canonization ceremony of civil and military officials to be truly completed, but then it is followed by the canonization palace banquet, and I just hope that time will pass quickly.
