Because of this heavy snowfall, some provinces in the south were affected by snowstorms, and the people had no harvest, which was unbearable. The emperor has been busy with political affairs www.biquge.info the pen & fun & pavilion, and summoned many ministers to discuss matters in the Yangxin Palace, and he didn't sleep all night. Naturally, the eunuchs in the respectful room will not remind the emperor to turn over the sign to summon the concubines at this juncture, so as not to be scolded.

However, the canonization ceremony of Concubine Shu and Concubine De was chosen by Qin Tian and reported to the Queen Mother. So when I asked for peace today, the Queen Mother ordered this matter.

The preparations for the canonization ceremony are a bit complicated, one is to let the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to make the gold book Jinbao, but also to let the Shangfu Bureau send embroidery girls to tailor several maids, the third is to let the head of the internal affairs department to prepare the incense case, Luan Yi, etc. required on the day of canonization, and the fourth is to arrange the palace maids and eunuchs on duty on the day before giving up. And all of us concubines, the masters above the concubine seat sit, and the little masters below the concubine position are standing, watching quietly on both sides.

On that day, the emperor ascended the throne in a hurry, and only performed the canonization ceremony of the queen's mother. The canonization ceremony of Concubine Niangniang, Concubine De Niangniang, Concubine Jin Niangniang, and Jing Concubine Niangniang has not been carried out. This time, to canonize four concubines at the same time, people are naturally a little nervous.

The Queen Mother also divided the matter accordingly. The queen is responsible for the cutting of clothes, the lady is responsible for the preparation of all items, and the concubine De is responsible for arranging for the internal affairs office to adjust the manpower of the palace maids and eunuchs on that day. Concubine Jin didn't make arrangements because she had to take care of the eldest princess Yihua.

Originally, the Queen Mother also wanted to arrange something to do for Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing took the Queen Mother's hand and said: "Niangniang~ The sisters have a division of labor, so let the concubine be lazy, is it good?

The Queen Mother listened to it, and smiled dotingly as if she was doting on her daughter: "You girl, you will play tricks." Everyone else is busy, but you have to be idle? That's not possible, let the mourners think about it...... How about punishing you to make some delicious snacks every day, to honor your sisters, and to let the mourning family also taste some light?"

"Where are you touching the light of your sisters...... It's the sisters who have touched your light, and as soon as you open your mouth, the concubines will have to be idle for many days. Hey—" Saying that, Concubine Jing Niangniang pretended to be angry, pouting, very cute.

The Queen Mother was not angry, she just pointed her finger on her forehead and knocked it twice, and said with a smile: "You are no big or small, relying on the mourning family to spoil you, and you are getting more and more nonsense." ”

After arranging the canonization ceremony, the Queen Mother said to a few of us: "You few, I'm afraid I haven't seen this canonization ceremony yet." If you follow the rules, you will not be able to attend the ceremony. But now that the harem is empty and the emperor has few concubines, the mourning family has allowed a few of you to go to watch the ceremony. ”

Naturally, I knelt down with Rou Guiren, Li Guiren, and Lin to thank you. At the same time, I also secretly thought in my heart: Only the master Niangniang above the concubine position must go through a serious canonization ceremony, and only with a golden book and gold treasure can she be regarded as a serious concubine recorded in the genealogy.

In the days that followed. The harem is visibly busy. Even the pace of the little palace maids walking on the road accelerated significantly, and the little palace maids and little eunuchs were also talking about the side sealing ceremony when they were idle after dinner.

In the middle of the month, the emperor made another decree, and the south was affected by the disaster, and the canonization ceremony was handled simply. The Queen Mother said that the items that should be purchased are almost ready, after all, it is the first time to canonize the concubine after ascending the throne, and there are civil ministers and military generals, so it should not be too simple. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to agree.

Today is the 15th day, which is the auspicious day chosen by the Qin Heavenly Prison. The sky was cloudless and clear. The sun is shining, and even in winter, I feel warm. Today's canonization ceremony for the concubine will be held. Because it was canonized by several concubines together, there was no place for the place of worship in the palace of the concubines, but in the Cining Palace of the Queen Mother.

As early as a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry had already delivered the prepared gold book to the cabinet. Yesterday, at the request of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor ordered the scholar Ke An to serve as the canonization envoy, and the Ministry of Rites to serve as the deputy envoy, Jiang Yunxun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, only to the Taimiao and Fengxian Palace.

Before dawn today, the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites first set up the festival case and the book case and the treasure case in the Taihe Palace, and set up a pavilion outside the cabinet door, and first placed the gold book and gold treasure in it. Then a ceremonial guard was arranged, and the pavilion was carried to His Royal Highness, so that the officials of the Ministry of Rites placed the festivals, books, and treasures on the three cases set up in the palace.

After dawn, the university scholar Xu Zheng wore court clothes, stood on the east side of the festival, and the canonization envoy Ke An and the deputy envoy Jiang Yunxun stood in the position slightly below Xu Zheng, and the auspicious time came, the university scholar went out from the middle door of the Taihe Hall to award the festival to the envoy, and the envoy placed the book and treasure in the pavilion again, and was carried to the Cining Palace by Luan Yiwei respectively.

And the Neiluan guard of honor also set up the honor guard of the ladies at the gate of Cining Palace early, and the eunuchs of each palace also set up the festival case and the incense case in the palace, and the position in the middle is placed in the east of the book case, and the west side is placed in the treasure case.

The canonization envoy stood on the west side of the door, and awarded the festival to the inner supervisor of the palace, and the captain of the Neiluan honor guard carried the pavilion to the palace gate, and then the inner supervisor of the palace carried the golden book and gold treasure to the Cining Palace with the festival. The ladies wore ceremonial dresses and waited in the palace gate, and the golden book and gold treasure were placed on the case that had been prepared long ago.

The female official led the ladies to kneel down on the north side of the worship seat, and they were arranged in a row, with Concubine Shu and Concubine De kneeling side by side, Concubine Jin behind the two of them, and finally Concubine Jing.

Then the female official read out the book and treasure, and then awarded the golden book and gold treasure to the concubines. After receiving the golden book and golden treasure, the maids supported them to perform six su, three kneels and three bows. After the ceremony, the inner supervisor of the palace left the Cining Palace with the festival, and re-awarded the festival to the canonization envoy, and the canonization envoy returned to the left gate of the Taihe Hall to resume his life.

This whole process is very important, and there must be no mistakes. From early in the morning, whether it was the masters or the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all ready to go, preoccupied, just afraid that something would go wrong and cause trouble.

This set of etiquette was completed, and the Queen Mother was invited to the main seat, and the Queen Mother did six su three kneeling and three bows, and the Queen Mother gave instructions to all the mothers, and we also knelt on the side.

The Queen Mother said: "You are all concubines in the emperor's harem, so naturally you want to help each other, unite and love each other." It is your blessing to extend the heirs for the emperor together. After the canonization ceremony, they are all serious masters, and they must abide by women's morality and put morality first. ”

All the ladies said yes, and then canonized the ceremony. According to the rules, on the second day, the concubines and concubines had to go to the emperor and the empress respectively to salute, and after receiving the training, the canonization ceremony was completely over.
