(11) Rewards and punishments
Yue Kang shook off the dust below, and smiled at Song Mier: "This half of the ritual is the princess of the previous dynasty, the queen of our founding Changle who married our ancestor. The remaining wedding dress is not well preserved due to its age, and only this phoenix crown accessory can be handed down to this day. β
As soon as Yue Kang's words spoke, the concubines below suddenly became one. If you just had doubts about why the Queen Mother only gave half of the ceremony, now I heard that this is the Empress Changle's, what half of the ceremony, even if it is only a hairpin, it is enough to be happy for a long time, if you wear a few more things, even if it is the emperor of the dynasty, if you want to cut off your head, you have to see if you can take off the accessories respectfully.
This is going to talk about who Queen Changle is. If it is said that it is the original queen of the founding emperor, even if there is a complete set of queen rituals left behind, I am afraid that it is just a holy relic carefully and properly preserved by later generations, and it will not reach the point where the emperor sometimes has to give in three points, just because this Empress Changle is not only the original queen of Emperor Gaozu, but also the only one in Emperor Gaozu's harem, and because she also has a well-known name compared to Empress Changle, Emperor Changle - at least half of the foundation of the current Great Dynasty was laid down by her alone.
Changle Emperor Xie Fan is the last princess of the former dynasty Li State, when the Beiyi broke the country, the heroes rose together, Changle Princess Xie Fan as a woman who did not understand government affairs and military affairs, but in the group of heroes and disputes to kill their own blood, destroy Beiyi, control the heroes, and lose the land, and finally in the war and chaos and now the Gaozu Emperor Shen Ci of the Great Calendar Dynasty met and cherished, jointly built the Great Calendar Dynasty, and Gaozu Emperor jointly took charge of the government, named Changle Queen, is actually the dark emperor Changle, during the reign of the great emperor, hard work, now the law of the Great Calendar Dynasty is strict, thriving, At least half of it is her merit.
This queen ritual is when Emperor Gaozu married Empress Changle to the two of them love things, things in distress, things to avoid evil and good fortune, four treasures based on the country's strength, the queen of Changle married Emperor Gaozu on the day of the call to the world, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Changle jointly ascended the throne to govern, so this queen ceremony, it has become one of the founding treasures, and it is the ceremony of the founding Emperor Changle, so the future generations of emperors see that they hold this ceremony, but also have to give three points, to say the efficacy, probably in the "jade seal" and under the jade plaque of "such as my personal visit", above the "Iron Coupon Danshu".
The three young attendants at the bottom were still respectfully holding the plates, and the concubines sitting there were all saying congratulations and praise to Song Mier in unison, and they were envious and jealous in their hearts. Then there was a commotion for a while, and when everyone had admired the phoenix crown, and the time of the morning province was almost up, everyone had different thoughts and scattered with different faces.
Bai Yun and Lang Yue also walked at the back with the concubines, Cui Yin had already been carried by a few young servants and went back to Huayang Palace first, Bai Yun slowly walked behind, digesting today's information nervously, and I don't know how much of a temper the concubine will have after hearing it, I have to persuade a little, how to say that the queen also called the imperial doctor, no matter what, I have to bear it.
was walking, suddenly heard someone behind him shouting himself, walking behind several concubines have stopped to see what happened, Bai Yun turned his head, it was the queen palace eunuch Dexiu and the young attendant Yuncong and others, carrying a large piece, Dexiu feet a little faster, raised the hand that did not take the dust and shouted: "The two of Huayang Palace, the objects that the queen mother gave to the concubine Niangniang, you two forgot to move away." β
With this roar, several high-ranking concubines who walked in front also stopped, and turned their heads to see Dexiu commanding the young attendants to put the objects they were carrying in front of Baiyun and Langyue. This object has to be carried by three young attendants at the same time, and it is a little difficult to look at, two delicate little girls, where can they carry it. Lang Yue was about to cry when she saw this battle, De Xiu stood aside and said with a smile: "Two, this is a special gift from our queen mother to the concubine Niangniang, the original preparation was not this one, but the concubine Niangniang presented the best Hetian Jade Guanyin up, half as a gift and half as a return gift, and the queen mother ordered someone to change it to this one." As he spoke, he pulled down the red silk on his head, and there was a small coaxing sound among the concubines who were watching around, and it was actually a child-tall deep-sea red coral tree. If the Hetian Jade Guanyin taken out by the noble concubine is a rare product in the court, then the red coral in front of her is a fairy product that is difficult to find in the world. After all, although Hetian jade is expensive, it is not impossible to be excavated and mined, and this red coral tree is born in the deep sea, carved by water and wind in the stormy waves, it is not easy to go to sea, let alone dive into the deep sea to pick corals of this size, not to mention that this coral is strong and bright, uniform color, tight texture, look closely, even the pores and impurities are very few.
But Yun Cong was still fanning the flames on the side: "Bai Yun and Langyue two sisters, this coral tree has some weight, but you don't have to worry about breaking it, this kind of red coral of this quality, we still have a lot of private vaults, if it is really bumped on the road, where are you afraid that the concubine will be blamed, the sisters just come to Yun Cong to change a good one." β
The implication is that your Hetian jade is not rare for our mother, and it will be rewarded when it changes hands, because our family has something more valuable than your Hetian jade. You look at this thing rarely, but we still don't care, because we still have a lot of it.
If this is said by Dexiu, it is a provocation, and it can be said from the mouth of Yun Cong, who is only eleven, like a naΓ―ve child simply telling the truth.
The onlookers and concubines, who had not yet gotten rid of the complicated envy at the beginning, saw this coral, and began to be jealous of the concubine again, and sent a Hetian jade for a coral tree, this deal is really cost-effective. But I feel that the queen favors one over the other, after all, the gifts that each concubine receives by herself are also sent to her heart, but the love for the concubine is complicated, if she is the concubine, this coral tree, together with the Hetian jade, may be her own. Suddenly, Song Mier invisibly pulled a lot of hatred for our concubine Niangniang.
Not to mention how Bai Yun and Lang Yue finally moved such a big red coral tree to Huayang Palace, just that this morning was saved, and the mutual communication between the concubines was enhanced a lot.
For example, on the pavilion by the Qingbo Pool, there are two groups of people gathered, and it is Qian Guiji and others who returned to the palace in the morning.
Standing were Akane Guiji, Rou Guiji, and their maids.
Kneeling were Duan Zhaoyi and He Zhaoyi, as well as the palace people they followed.
Qian Guiji was supported by the maid, and looked condescendingly at He Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi who were kneeling on the ground: "He Zhaoyi, what kind of product is Zhaoyi?" β
"Zheng Sipin."
"What kind of product is that Guiji?"
"From the third product."
Rou Guiji on the side persuaded Qian Guiji in a slow voice: "Ah Qian, forget it, they have been kneeling for a long time, we have more than one thing is better than one less." β
"Forget it, I want to forget it, do you ask them if these two Zhaoyi who are four grades are willing to count?" Qian Guiji kicked the fan that He Zhaoyi had landed at her feet with contempt.
"He Mengjie, Duan Zhaoyi, it turns out that you also know that you are just a small four-grade Zhaoyi. Although my Rosie is not of a high grade, but it is a coincidence that she is two levels higher than you, and knowing that her grade is low, she should learn how to talk to concubines who are higher than you! β
He Zhaoyi knelt on the ground with his shoulders crossed, although it was July, but there was no sun in the pavilion, and the lake on the side brought a burst of shade and moisture, only kneeling for a short while, He Zhaoyi's hands and feet were cold, and his knees were stiff. Duan Zhaoyi, who was beside him, never said anything, pursed his lips tightly, his hair was a little messy in the pull just now, with a resolute expression, but there was a trace of beauty.
Qian Guiji, who was carefully observing them above, noticed Duan Zhaoyi's expression, became more and more angry, her eyes turned between He Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi for a moment, she hooked her lips and smiled, and turned her head to whisper to the voice of the two people kneeling on the ground: "Qingwan, I finally know why this Zhaoyi is going to speak against me." β
Rou Guiji also cooperated, and when she heard it, she asked, "Why?" β
Qian Guiji sneered: "Look, I don't think that He Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi stand separately, the two of them have their own beauty, but when they are together, they immediately distinguish themselves from each other, you see Duan Zhaoyi is so beautiful and willing to hold grievances for her sisters, if Your Majesty knows about the affairs of the queen's palace today, she may look at us Duan Zhaoyi differently." β
"Sister Meng Jie, my sister advises you to say a word, this depends on people, you can't look at the surface, some people help you, just to help herself. Look, why else would you kneel here when you have been wronged? And some people are kneeling now, but they have made a good impression in front of the queen? If she robs your favor in the future, don't blame my sister for not reminding you! β
He Zhaoyi's body trembled, but her eyes were fixed on her own fan at Qian Guiji's feet.
Duan Zhaoyi's eyes swept He Mengjie from the corner of her eyes, her eyes showing concern.
Rosie carefully studied the expressions of the two of them, felt very satisfied, turned her head and ordered her maid to stare at the two of them for another half an hour, and then walked away with Rou Guiji.
Here, He Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi were reprimanded by Qian Guiji, kneeling in the pavilion, and on the other side, Liu Shuxing was sitting in the dark, with a glimmer of light, not seeing half of the anger, and was casually playing with the red coral tree next to the bed with a smile.
The person standing next to him lowered his voice and was very puzzled: "Master, the Queen Mother gave Emperor Changle the queen's wedding dress to the queen today, obviously beating you, and the queen used the topic to play again, using the imperial doctor and the red coral tree to suppress you, why do you look more and more confident?" β
Liu Shuxing raised his eyebrows, smiled and said coldly: "Let me ask you, what is the appearance of this high-profile woman in this palace now?" β
"Look? I'm afraid the master is not talking about it......" the man in the shadows muttered.
Liu Shuxing was not in a hurry, waiting slowly for the other party to speak.
