Chapter 16 The Ceremony of Sealing Concubines
It's approaching the end of April, and in the past two months, the green head cards of rookies who have entered the palace have naturally been hung up. The pattern of the harem has also been set, but there are only a few people who are the most favored, Concubine He, Wen Jieyu, Chu Xuan and others. Chu Xuan also "lived up to expectations" and squeezed into the most favored ranks, which is staggering. And Yi Guifei is on the second line, just as Concubine He thinks, the emperor is just trying to be fresh.
Concubine He, Wen Jieyu, and Chu Xuan each occupied seven or eight days in the past two months, and they knew that the emperor was not a person who was obsessed with women. After deducting the days of staying alone in the Changxin Temple, there are only thirty days left. Then deduct the first and fifteenth days of each month to go to the Fengyi Palace, and get seven or eight days each, which is really unbelievable. After deducting these, what was left was only a few days, which was not enough for the remaining concubines.
Therefore, various methods emerge in an endless stream, and Chu Xuan doesn't think it's lively on weekdays. Today a flower dances, tomorrow a pavilion plays the piano. Chu Xuan, she didn't know that the concubines were so versatile.
Now Chu Xuan has also become a beauty, don't ask her why she is favored, because she adheres to a truth "Uncle loves Lori, and teenagers love mature women". Today's emperor is only seventeen, even if he is too precocious, I am afraid that he will not be in the ranks of uncles.
As for why the emperor just respects the queen like a guest? I'm afraid that the queen is too mature, so mature that it is difficult for Gu Jun to regard her as a woman who needs to rely on herself, but as a person to respect.
This Wen Jieyu is also a rookie who entered the palace this time, and she is also the second person who entered the palace this time with Concubine Lin. Although this Wen Jieyu is not as mature as Chu Xuan, she has characteristics. If you live like an ice beauty, you won't need to use ice cubes in the summer, but you can wear a few more pieces in winter.
Concubine Lin's canonization ceremony is also imminent, and the Internal Affairs Office seems to be orderly, which shows that although the queen is not enlightened enough in terms of men, things are still handled well. How well the Ministry of Rites prepared was not something she should worry about.
However, according to the budget of the household department, Concubine Lin's canonization ceremony may have to be simplified, after all, the treasury is not so rich. For Concubine Lin, even if the ceremony is simplified, it is extremely happy. When the concubines in the palace mocked her, they all grabbed her and still hadn't done the ceremony. Now she is finally the emperor's rightful concubine. Chu Xuan's cheap hooves have been favored for so long, but he can only watch with his eyes in disdain.
Chu Xuan didn't react to Concubine Lin's ceremony to hold a concubine ceremony, and Concubine Lin had already put up a concubine position in the harem. I've been used to it for a long time, how do you want her to react? What she wanted to hug was the emperor's thigh, not Lin Juan's.
Although there is no reaction, the face that should be given still has to be given. After all, this is a concubine ceremony, not a mess.
Chu Xuan wore a green and pinched flower square brocade palace dress, and in the makeup, he picked and chose the cloud-foot pearl tendrils that the emperor rewarded a few days ago, and paired with the pearl earrings on his ears, it looked a lot fresher.
To be honest, Chu Xuan is relatively idle today. After all, it wasn't her canonization, and she just needed to go over and say hello at the last pilgrimage.
The music began, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair in a crown robe, and the music stopped. And all the ceremonies were set under the dragon chair, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites held gold books and gold treasures on the case, and a group of officials also carried out the ceremony of sealing the concubine in an orderly manner. Li Quanzhong sang the decree of Fengtian: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said: I only have the merit of Qiankun Dehe, the merit of Shilong Huayu, the merit of honoring the title, the merit of real capital and praise, and the tin is given to the light of the words." Consult Erlin's family, Pi Zhao Shuhui, Heng Huang has rules, bow and be cautious, be chaste and bow, be virtuous and courteous, and ask Shu in Xuan Palace; Bow cautiously, the name of the tree is in the pepper. Adhering to the order of the Queen Mother, she was sealed as Concubine Lin. Erqi Mao is gentle and respectful, Kezan is diligent, humble and humble, and he is prosperous and prosperous. Greatly. ”
After singing, Concubine Lin stepped up the steps with the holy decree, stood behind the emperor and queen, and stood side by side with Concubine He.
The hundreds of officials under the stairs sang salutes, and the concubines on the stairs also sang salutes one after another.
After tinkering for a long time, the ceremony was finally completed, and Concubine Lin was finally a righteous concubine, and she could be regarded as raising her eyebrows.
According to the old practice, Gu Jun should stay in Mingguang Palace for three nights. So in the past three mornings, Chu Xuan looked at Concubine Lin with a look of spring in her eyes, and she felt a little cold. Seeing Concubine Lin's gloomy face a lot, it was really shocking that she suddenly changed so much.
But after these three days, it was the first day of the fifth month. There was no accident, the emperor stayed in the Fengyi Palace. Concubine Lin's continuous favor in the past three days can be regarded as interrupted.
The queen is also very busy for a while, just after Concubine Lin's canonization ceremony, followed by the Dragon Boat Festival. The queen is also weak, so the two of them just sleep under the quilt.
What surprised Chu Xuan was that after Concubine Lin had passed the canonization ceremony. The emperor didn't come to Mingguang Palace just for Concubine Lin, he turned over Chu Xuan's sign on the second day of the fifth month.
However, it is not easy to forget and forget, but she is one of Gu Jun's favorite concubines in the past two months. Naturally, there is a place to enter his eyes, so this is unexpected and reasonable.
Concubine Lin has a little temperament in everything, and even getting along with Gu Jun is also such a temperament. Although it is a lot more convergent, it is often revealed in inadvertent details. Maybe Gu Jun would coax her patiently at first, but the more she got later, the more impatient she became. This has nothing to do with good or bad character, Gu Jun, as the master of the world, has always been coaxed by others, how can he coax others. At first, it is novel, and then you will be impatient with these things.
Therefore, the strategy formulated by Chu Xuan is indeed useful. After all, being mature, unpretentious, and occasionally relying on him is what men think is a good couple.
Chu Xuan chose a place in Gu Jun's arms where he felt comfortable, and lay still in Gu Jun's arms, his right index finger wrapped around the green silk, looking lazy.
And Gu Jun held Chu Xuan's waist with one hand and her right hand with the other. The best thing about Chu Xuan's whole body is probably her emotional intelligence, with the strategy she formulated, Gu Jun thinks that the person in her arms is like a cat, if she leaves, saying that she doesn't care, she will come over from time to time and scratch a paw on your heart, it doesn't hurt, but it makes people throb. said she cared, but she didn't care so much, you give it to her, and if you don't give it, you will pull it down. It's all casual.
In fact, Chu Xuan is indeed like this. It's just that Chu Xuan deliberately didn't leave her publicity to him. After all, the image in Gu Jun's heart has not yet been positioned, if Zhang Yang thinks it is good, it can be classified as acting recklessly, and if he thinks it is bad, he is arrogant. She doesn't have that much self-confidence to be sure that Gu Jun is thinking on the bright side.
