Chapter 958: Concubine Ceremony
Xiaoxiao's face also showed a sentimental smile, and said: "Queen Mother, in fact, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to, but I really can't restrain it, since the day Xiaoxiao met His Majesty, I have already had him in my heart, in the past two years, Xiaoxiao has insisted step by step, and finally came to this day, watching the sisters around me find happiness one by one, Xiaoxiao's heart, I can't hold on anymore, Queen Mother, please." β
Concubine Luohe stood up helplessly, helped up Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Okay, don't kneel, sit up, and slowly tell the queen mother, everything is decided by the queen mother." β
His face slowly blushed, and the initial courage turned into shyness at this time, he sat on the chair, lowered his head, and said softly: "As Your Majesty's royal sister, one day, I want to get married, but Xiaoxiao doesn't want to, I don't want to leave the palace, I don't want to leave Your Majesty, I just want to see him every day, I will feel at ease, I will be calm, I start to smile and I don't know, what is this feeling, or Sister Yu told me that this is the taste of falling in love with someone." β
"The concubine ceremony is about to be crowned, and if I missed this time, Xiaoxiao was afraid that there would be no chance, so I came to ask the Queen Mother with a thick face to fulfill it."
Concubine Luohe looked at Xiaoxiao, indeed, from the youth of the first sight, in the past two years, Xiaoxiao has grown, beautiful and pure face, floating dimples, full of charm, but no one would have thought that she would fall in love with the emperor.
"Xiaoxiao, this is your life's event, if you decide, there is no way to turn back, especially the matter of the Wang family, and it will not give you a chance to regret it, you have really decided to embark on this road?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, Xiaoxiao has already thought very clearly, this is my choice."
Concubine Luohe said: "Okay, since you are obsessed and do not regret your mistakes, then the Queen Mother will give you this opportunity." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, slowly stroked Xiaoxiao's face, and said, "Xiaoxiao has grown up now and has become a great beauty, it's really cheap Qingshan's kid." β
Smile and cover his mouth, snickering, looking shy.
Xiaoxiao went back to prepare for tomorrow's concubine ceremony, and after leaving the queen mother's palace, on the side of the palace hall, two figures slowly walked out, it was Sifu who was holding the jade god with a big belly.
Yushen said with a smile: "Mom, what's the matter, I didn't guess wrong, Xiaoxiao This girl is really bold, she dares to come to you." β
Concubine Luohe said with some complaints: "It's not that you encouraged her, what a pure little girl, but now she has also been taken away." β
Sifu also smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as you're happy, in fact, I can also see that something is wrong with Xiaoxiao, especially after Siyue was named the imperial concubine, she is alone, every time she has a big party, she is always alone, she can't blend in, and she looks at her husband's eyes, and it is getting more and more wrong." β
"But this girl has the name of a princess, if she is a concubine, what if her name is not right?" Concubine Luohe said with some worry: "The matter of sealing the concubine, before millions of emperors, can't hide it. β
Sifu said: "Now my mother can make an edict, abolish the princess's name, and wait for tomorrow to canonize the title of the imperial concubine, I am letting people spread it out, laughing Princess is virtuous and loyal, considerate and caring, very emperor's heart, the queen mother is the mother of the emperor, and the future generations are ****, this reason is reasonable, I believe no one will object." β
The jade god also said: "Sifu is right, Xiaoxiao has been walking in Dragon City in the past two years, and has dealt with a lot of people's grievances, and has won the hearts of the people, if she can become an imperial concubine, I believe many people will approve." β
"That's all there is to it."
Xiaoxiao's matter is a temporary birth, so it also needs to be dealt with in time, although the Queen Mother, the Jade God, and Sifu all know about it, but no one tells the emperor that this kind of thing is a good thing, and it is not bad to give a surprise.
Besides, there are so many women in the harem, why not have one more smile?
The two daughters have another world experience with Liu Qingshan, of course they know the importance of Xiaoxiao to Liu Qingshan, Xiaoxiao is equivalent to Liu Xinrou's cute little sister, and her man's sister controls her personality, Xiaoxiao will not become an imperial concubine, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to marry in the future.
Sealing the concubine is a big deal, the next morning, the entire Dragon City is boiling early, although now in this season, the cold invades, but the cold wind can't blow away everyone's enthusiasm fluctuations.
The sun had not yet come out, and the streets in front of the Great Emperor's Palace were already crowded with dense people.
The reason why these people came here so early is to occupy a good position, and they can see with their own eyes the ministers of the court, as well as the imperial concubine, the emperor and the queen mother, as the most sacred existence of the empire, the emperor is the most admirable.
There are still three days left in spring, but at the beginning of today's ceremony, the people of Dragon City have already put on brand new clothes, as festive as spring, blessings for the emperor, blessings for the emperors and concubines who are concubines today, and blessings for the empire.
The ceremony of sealing the concubine is carried out on the altar in front of the imperial palace, which is whenever there is a major festival in the empire, the fixed place of holding, here is not only large, empty, the most important, the terrain is the best and suitable, ninety-nine steps, symbolizing the number of ninety-nine, the middle of the steps is inlaid with white jade dragon carving, it is even more powerful and solemn, everyone walks here, will be solemn, quiet.
On such a day, of course, Liu Qingshan will not dodge, and passed the early dynasty early, under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Qingshan personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to the altar, a column of civil officials, a column of military attachΓ©s, down along the altar, arranged according to the rank and rank, each in a team.
Above the court, regardless of the size of the official position, they can express their opinions and argue endlessly, but here, except for the ceremonial official who presided over the ceremony, no one dared to speak, yes, this is the home of the emperor, the will of heaven, communicate with the sky, except for the emperor, no one dares to do it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor has a decree, abolish the name of spring, the first day of spring every year, for the dragon festival, the whole country celebrates, promote the power of the dragon, and inscribe the spirit of the dragon-----" Before the ceremony began, there was an imperial decree, which had been discussed with the cabinet for a long time, and even spread among the high-level of the empire.
However, as a citizen of the Shenlong Empire, as the inheritance of the dragon, it is just right to change the spring day to the Shenlong Festival, and no one will object.
This imperial decree has been held by a guard in both hands, and he walked briskly to the palace gate, this is the letter to the emperor of the body, of course, it needs to be posted at the palace gate, so that everyone can pass the copy, and it will also be transmitted to all parts of the empire, so that all officials and officials know the emperor's will, I believe that in the spring three days later, no one will call it again, and the new name of the Dragon Festival will spread throughout the entire Great 6 with the strength of the empire.
"The concubine ceremony starts now, His Majesty the Emperor is immortal, passed down from generation to generation, all officials, kneel down three times."
Two long columns of officials, one step at a time, quickly knelt down together, and Liu Qingshan took the hand of the Luohe Divine Concubine, steadily climbed the steps, behind the two, the honor guard is also a long line, there are female officials, palace maids, and even personal female guards, this represents the power of the royal family of the Shenlong Empire, even if on weekdays, Liu Qingshan and Luohe Divine Concubine do not care, but in this case, the momentum needs to be the most sufficient.
"Meet Your Majesty, meet the Queen Mother Chitose!"
The sound was magnificent, and then the rhythm sounded, and the melodious bell sounded almost throughout the entire Dragon City.
On the high platform, two wide chairs, one of course is the dragon chair, which is the emperor's seat, and the other, slightly smaller, is placed on the side, which is the seat of the queen mother.
The two sat down, the rhythm stopped, and the ceremonial official began to read aloud the Book of Confessions, some of the words, Liu Qingshan didn't understand too much, but the emperors in the audience were yearning for each other, and they felt that the emperor was really powerful on the stage.
After the confession, it is what everyone is looking forward to the most, the list of concubines, from large to small, in order.
With the announcement of the ceremonial official, one by one, the pretty and lovely imperial concubines appeared in front of everyone.
If it is another ceremony, the queen mother may not need to appear, but the imperial concubine is the wife of the emperor, and the queen mother, as a mother, of course has the right to intervene, which is also the responsibility of the emperor's mother.
The general harem affairs are presided over by the queen mother, which belongs to the emperor's family affairs and is handled internally.
However, the Luohe Divine Concubine delegated power and handed it over to the Jade Gods, which is both a kind of trust and a kind of exercise, no matter what, the affairs in the imperial palace will be handed over to the women sooner or later.
"------ canonized the female jade god of the elf clan and is the palace master of the North Palace."
With the name of the jade god sounding for the first time, the moment of extreme glory came, although the jade god held his stomach, but with the help of the two palace maids, he walked from the right side, walked in front of Liu Qingshan and Luohe Divine Concubine, and bowed gently.
"See Beigong Niangniang." The officials knelt down again and bowed their heads in worship.
One queen and four palaces, eighteen imperial concubines, thirty-six concubines, these are all famous women, as for talented women and princesses, they are all among the palace maids, Luohe Divine Concubine felt that the quota was not enough, and added seventy-two imperial concubines in the back, which was regarded as giving the daughters of the families who served for the emperor's cultivation a title and enjoyed the treatment of concubines.
Now that the emperor has no queen, the lord of the four palaces is only the jade god, and he is the best.
But today, the second palace master appeared.
"----- canonize Yu Yan of the Hundred Flowers Clan as the Palace Master of the West Palace."
"See Nishinomiya Niangniang." Yu Yan walked on the steps, looking at the courtiers and the people of the empire at her feet, a kind of excitement surged in her heart, she didn't expect that after entering the palace for a few days, she would get the special favor of the queen mother, and was named one of the four palaces.
In fact, Concubine Luohe did this because of Hua Yan's dedication, so that Liu Qingshan completed the success of cultivating the mortal body, but Hua Yan's heart was undecided, and her love and hate were difficult to understand, so she could only put all this credit on Yu Yan's body, and according to the previous promise, she was given the position of palace master.
What kind of person is the jade god, sharing joys and sorrows with Liu Qingshan, how much to pay, compared to it, Yu Yan has only been in the palace for two months, if it weren't for the last Hua Yan to sleep, let the emperor complete the biggest legend on the Yanyang Big 6 and achieve the real body, I am afraid that Yu Yan will stay in the palace for a few more years, and she may not be able to become the palace master.
The four palace masters, there are few people and many people, who are staring at it?
And in addition to the Jade God, there is also Sifu who also has such qualifications, and the other three imperial concubines who are pregnant with the dragon vein also have such qualifications, Mrs. Qianqian, Mingyue, and Hu Meier.
But it's a pity, after thinking about it, Concubine Luohe still gave up.
The three of them have their own disadvantages, Mrs. Qianqian entered the palace as a widow, although the character and appearance are good, but just by virtue of the woman's identity, she cannot be the palace master, not to mention Mingyue, she is a demon clan, although she has been washed by the dragon blood pool, the blood is exhausted, but before the demon country is extinct, she has no chance.
The last fox Mei'er is an orc, although Liu Qingshan is constantly improving the status of the orc, but it is not a day's work, so for the time being, she is not suitable.
