Chapter 218: Precarious
Cheng Yiyao combed a more formal peony bun today, with a golden silk purple jade head, this purple jade is the dowry of the Duchess of the year A pair of purple jade heads, the Duchess of the Republic of China once used one of the steps to shake Cheng Yiyao's head of a pair of twelve purple jade hairpins, and now this head is Cheng Yiyao's before she got married, the Duchess of Guo asked people to change, which is considered to be an addition to Cheng Yiyao.
Purple jade is rare, such a whole head of purple jade is even more rare, the purple jade hairpin that the Duchess played at the beginning, Cheng Yiqi was red for a long time, and finally the Duchess gave her to Cheng Yiyao, and gave Cheng Yiqi a pair of jasper hairpins, although it is also very rare, but it is worse than the scarce purple jade.
This purple jade head face is paired with a long skirt of ice silk purple peony falling to the ground, which looks a little childish, and has a touch of mature woman's charm.
"The young lady's outfit is almost dazzling when she looks at the slave maid!" An Qi finally cleaned up the headdress for Cheng Yiyao, and after making sure that there was no problem, he looked at Cheng Yiyao and exclaimed.
"Are you boasting about your craft?" Cheng Yiyao raised her eyebrows.
Hearing this, An Qi pouted and said, "Does the young lady have to say that you are naturally beautiful?" ”
"Yao'er is naturally beautiful!" Situ You's faint words came from the door, and at this time he had just finished dressing and walked over, just when he heard An Qi say this.
Such a reverie was uttered in such a serious and cold tone, which was unspeakably weird, but he felt that he should have been like this, and his words were just ordinary sentences.
"Sixth Young Master!" An Xiao hurriedly saluted.
The man was dressed in moon-white and tied his hair neatly. It's a normal dress, but there is an indescribable elegance and grace when worn on Situ You, even if you are used to seeing Situ You's appearance. Cheng Yiyao is sometimes shaken by his temperament.
Situ You nodded lightly and walked towards Cheng Yiyao: "I don't want you to go out!" Sighing softly, at this moment his eyes can only accommodate the person in front of him, and no one else can let him be moved.
"What do you say?" Cheng Yiyao came back to her senses, if she didn't have to maintain her image, she really wanted to glance at the man opposite, "Let's go." Don't let your grandmother and mother wait for us! ”
"What I'm saying couldn't be more serious!" Don't say that she will be seen by a man like this, even if it is a woman, she doesn't want them to see it, not to mention that there is a Xuanyuan Chenggu who has never given up.
"Let's go!" Cheng Yiyao couldn't help but blush. Although I was a little shy, I felt good when I was praised by my husband.
After breakfast, the two of them greeted Mrs. Situ and Zhai, and everyone in the house gathered in the flower hall at this time and was ready to go.
Mrs. Situ and Zhai, as the mother and wife of Master Congyipin, have a destiny. Dressed in court clothes. Wearing a dragon and phoenix crown, he looks very solemn.
Looking at the old lady Situ with her head held high and looking majestic, she was still crooked on the couch yesterday, her face was sallow, but at this time she was covered by the thick rouge on her face.
Cheng Yiyao couldn't help but wonder, this old lady wouldn't just want to wear this fateful court dress in front of all the old ladies to show her status!
Situ Mansion and his entourage just after the morning set off to the Qingchu Garden under the mountain, the Qingchu Garden is divided into the south gate and the north gate, the south gate towards the direction of Qinglu Mountain is the gate for everyone on the mountain to enter and exit. The north gate is located at the junction of the inner garden and the outer garden of the early Qing Dynasty.
The birthday of the Queen Mother will begin at the right time, and everyone must arrive at the inner garden of the early Qing Dynasty before that. The Queen Mother will arrive at the early Qing Dynasty at the right time, and then sit on the phoenix all the way from the south gate to the Chu Zheng Courtyard in the center of the inner garden.
Being able to come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is said to be the grace of the emperor to everyone, but in fact, it is just to build momentum for the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony, and they can only see a figure looming in the phoenix from a distance, and they can't see what the Queen Mother looks like, and then it is just a bigger banquet for everyone.
The Empress Dowager will not stay in the early twilight courtyard where the female dependents are located, and will go directly to the first main courtyard of the twelve courtyards in the early Qing Dynasty, where she will receive the birthday congratulations of the civil and military officials, and the first celebration will be held in the first courtyard at noon.
The hundred officials would have lunch and leave Qinglu Mountain with the holy car before Shen Shi, and the dinner would be held in the Qingduyuan Temple.
The Queen Mother and the current saint are only maintaining this superficial calm, perhaps in some ways, even the superficial calm has cracked in recent years, which can be glimpsed from this.
When the emperor died, the saint was young, and the queen mother controlled the court, she has always lived a luxurious life and paid attention to pomp, so many years of the annual birthday can be called grand, the whole life is even more luxurious to the extreme.
Since the Holy Father's pro-government, it has intensified, even when the treasury is tight, she can't delay her birthday, Dayong has always ruled the world with filial piety, and the Holy One is not the Queen Mother's parent, and he can't be criticized, every year, but the grievances are deepening.
A few years ago, the saint would also show a deep mother-son relationship with the queen mother, but these years have just come to go too long, the day before yesterday, and left on the same day, saying that the court cannot be delayed, but it is not difficult to see that the relationship between the queen mother and the saint has reached a precarious point.
In the final analysis, it is because the Queen Mother has a son of her own, and the Holy One did not grow up beside the Queen Mother, and the two have no feelings.
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the death of the first emperor, the throne should have belonged to her son, but now it was snatched away by others, how many years have he been occupying it, it's time to return the position, and in today's saint after all, he is rightfully inheriting the throne, how can he tolerate someone who has been coveting his position.
In this way, the relationship between the two can be imagined, the queen mother's actions have become bigger and bigger over the years, almost undisguised, and a group of courtiers have gathered around her, and these years have been spreading rumors among the people that the prince is the right son of heaven, and now it is almost to the limit of his patience.
Whether it is Cheng Yiyao or the ladies and ladies of the various provinces, it is very rare to have the opportunity to participate in the dinner, especially such a grand dinner, after all, the journey back to the house at night is not very safe, for the sake of their own reputation and in order not to cause some unnecessary trouble, the banquet in each house will basically be during the day, even if there is a dinner party, it is between several familiar families, and they will not go back in the evening.
Nowadays, everyone lives in Qinglu, and such a grand dinner is held every year on the Queen Mother's birthday, which is also a rare event, and it has almost become a practice in the past years. (To be continued......)
