After all the ups and downs, there is a past day. Soon after Xu Xun's title was decided, the imperial court also ushered in a series of canonization ceremonies. Of course, the beginning is none other than the queen's canonization ceremony. This is also a national-level ceremony, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire imperial court and even the harem, except for the Queen Mother, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Li and Emperor Wen's Imperial Concubine, have to move because of the queen's canonization ceremony.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't say much, they were already busy, chickens and dogs jumping, and even the celebrant and the big eunuchs of Taichang Temple were rarely in a hurry. A few days ago, I started to be busy in the Fengtian Hall - although these three halls are not usually used a few times, they are still very inseparable when there are major national events. In particular, the Fengtian Hall is a large-scale ceremony to be held here.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Xun and the harem concubines to look at the excitement, they were also given tufted dresses, and everyone mobilized to rectify the size and comb the hair accessories - they had just moved, and many things had to be rummaged through. If the grandmothers in the palace are not very shrewd and capable, there will be a bit of a headache at this time. And the waste is that because they haven't been registered yet, they are still at the level of the prince's talent, and the princess's dress has not yet been issued. When it was time for the canonization ceremony, it was necessary to make a few sets of dresses that were in line with the status of the imperial concubine.

Anyway, the royal family is not short of money, and the celebrant wants them to abide by the etiquette system, and Xu Xun and the others have nothing to say. Everyone was busy changing clothes, so they went to rehearse in front of Kunning Palace to rehearse the standing position and so on, although the second day was the canonization ceremony, but at this time the throne and the book had already been set up in Kunning Palace. The foreign woman has to enter the palace to rehearse the process.

On the morning of the second day, the queen got up very early to go out to Fengtian Hall to accept the canonization and the congratulations of the hundred officials, Xu Xun and the others could get up and dress up calmly, and when the queen returned to Kunning Palace, the palace congratulated her again, and they were finished on this day, and they were about to stand for an hour.

As for the queen and the emperor, it was not so easy, after the emperor had passed the queen in the morning, he had to go out in the evening to be congratulated by hundreds of officials, and then the two of them fasted together for three days, and on the third day, even Xu Xun and others joined in. Then everyone ran to the temple to salute again-the queen's temple ceremony, and this time the ceremonial solemnity was no worse than the canonization. In particular, the number of kneeling and offering incense has also increased a lot.

These things are all tossed, and after I go back, I will accompany the queen to pay homage to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and everyone will have a banquet in the palace, and the queen will be crowned with a ceremony for more than seven days before it comes to an end. In this way, although only Beijing officials are mobilized, the degree of cumbersomeness of the etiquette is not inferior to the emperor's enthronement ceremony. This also reflects the hostile status of the queen and the emperor - the queen 'Xiaojun', when there is a major event in the dynasty, the emperor cannot govern, and there is no queen mother in the palace, the courtiers can smoothly accept the queen's supervision of the country, but they will not pay more attention to the concubines, no matter how special her status is and how noble her identity is. Participating in politics, the harem has always been a privilege that only belongs to the queen.

After finishing the queen's canonization, the next princess's canonization ceremony is relatively simpler. At least Xu Xun only needs to participate in his own scene, but the little concubines who have just entered the palace are more pitiful, as the only women left in the palace, they still have to participate in every imperial concubine canonization ceremony with the prince and princess.

According to the chronological order of the canonization edict, the canonization ceremony is also arranged in the order of Sun Guifei, He Huifei, and Xu Zhuangfei. Xu Xun Yong'an Palace has been busy making clothes and jewelry for Xu Xun, a little free Xu Xun also hurried to the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine of the Confucian Temple to ask for peace to speak, besides, there are a few little concubines who are also assigned to live under the jurisdiction of Yong'an Palace, Xu Xun also has to express his concern and so on, she has no leisure to care about other people's imperial concubines. Therefore, after two or three days had passed since Sun Guifei's canonization ceremony, she heard that in addition to the golden book, there was also a golden seal on Sun Guifei's canonization.

Although the difference between the queen and the imperial concubine's dress is not very obvious, it is nothing more than that the queen has an extra Zhai dress, which is also a dragon crown, but the number of pages in the book is different, and the big difference is that the queen can use the treasure seal, but the imperial concubine can only use the seal. Therefore, at the queen's canonization ceremony, there are not only books, but also treasure cases, and there is only one case on the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine. Although seals can be collectively referred to as one thing, they are two completely different in terms of ritual system. Anyone can have it, but the treasure can only be used by the emperor's husband and wife, just as far as the harem is concerned, the treasure of the queen mother, the treasure of the emperor, and the treasure of the queen all have the effect of ordering the six palaces, and the seal of the concubine can manage the area of their own palace.

Although this thing is still mostly symbolic, there is no greeting in advance, and there is no explanation afterwards, but the appearance of Jinbao is already an extremely obvious signal for these people in the palace who are full of machine springs: if necessary, the concubine can also use Jinbao to order the six palaces.

In this way, apart from the slight differences in ceremonial clothing, what are the differences between the concubines?

Xu Xun often went to Kunning Palace to talk to the queen, but after the news came out, he didn't dare to go over: this matter, Qingning Palace was calm and there was no opposition, so it can be seen that the queen mother and the old man also had a tacit attitude. The queen will definitely not say anything, but what is the feeling in her heart, so who can't think of it? At this time, is it better to mention this matter or not? Whether you mention it or not, it's all in vain.

She didn't want to go to Changning Palace to say hello to Sun Yunu - Xu Xun felt that this matter was too boring, and people felt that it was not a taste to listen to it, and she didn't want to mix with those low-level concubines to take advantage of this excitement.

"Zhao Zhaorong and Wu Jieyu are the first batch to go past." Mama Sun is very concerned about people's movements, "Cao Baolin and Jiao Zhaoyi have passed the second day, but Li Meiren, Wang Meiren, Wu Meiren, and Liu Meiren have not passed until now." ”

Zhao Zhaorong, Wu Jieyu, Cao Baolin, and Jiao Zhaoyi are the four celebrities who were selected seriously in this draft, as for the four beauties, Li Meiren and Wang Meiren used to serve the emperor Yu Qiandi Qing'er and Zi'er. Wu Meiren and Liu Meiren are not on the book, and their treatment is lower.

If you want to talk about talent and other qualities, after all, the draft is one out of ten thousand, and it is better than these four beauties from the palace girl. But the four beauties took advantage of their seniority, and they all had backgrounds and backgrounds in the palace, and they had already been accepted. Li Meiren, Wang Meiren and even Mr. Emperor Enlightenment...... Speaking of which, it is more confident than the four people who have not slept in it. Especially Liu Meiren, how can she take care of the old master's mood, at least she has to wait for Concubine He Hui to be canonized, go to the old master and then go to Changning Palace. Xu Xun heard this, but smiled, her regret about this matter is that she was in Nanjing at the time, and she failed to win a reputation for Hua'er, as for things like not to compete with others and be jealous, it is not the style of at all. As a more cautious person, the queen and the concubine don't want to offend on both sides, and this kind of thinking is understandable.

Mama Li was a little whispering, "It's okay for others, Zhao Zhaorong should also wait." ”

Four people plus four beauties, a total of eight low-level concubines, Sun Guifei Changning Palace is in charge of a lot, Wu Jieyu, Cao Baolin, and Wu Meiren are now living under her. Concubine He Hui took care of Jiao Zhaoyi and her own maidservant Liu Meiren, Xu Xun, here is Zhao Zhaorong, Li Meiren, Wang Meiren, in terms of grade, it is one step worse than Changning Palace, but the two beauties are acquaintances, and they can talk a little. Li Meiren and Wang Meiren didn't go to pay homage to Sun Guifei, maybe it was also to wait for Xu Xun's canonization ceremony. In comparison, Zhao Zhaorong's attitude is a bit eager for quick success, and even Cao Baolin is a little calmer than her.

Xu Xun didn't deny that she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't bother to care about these, she just sighed, "It's strange to say that there are more women than dramas, but we only have a dozen people?" That's all there is to it. If she loves to go, let her go, is it possible that because she has passed, we still have to embarrass her? ”

Mama Li stopped talking - Xu Xun wants to be a concubine, the treatment must change, and there are also people in Yong'an Palace, and the grandmothers are also pretending to have something in their hearts, whether they can be credited as today in the future depends on their performance. Therefore, several grandmothers are now paying more and more attention, for fear that they will not speak smoothly.

"Try this jacket." She took her clothes off the bench. "The embroidery girls are also hard, they can't sleep well for a while, and there are too many clothes to rush. The dress is okay, the casual dress is just careless. ”

Xu Xun didn't bother to pay attention to the outside affairs anymore, and she began to perform her main task again: to act as a hanger.

The canonization ceremony of Concubine He Hui was peaceful, and it was the same as before, it was a gold-plated silver book, and it was a gold seal. Anyway, the internal and external women behaved as ceremonies, and I didn't hear of anything happening. After her canonization ceremony was completed, it was Xu Xun's canonization ceremony. The night before, the emperor also came to look at Xu Xun and said with a smile, "It's cold, I said there that day, the queen said, make your dress bigger, and wear a few more clothes under your dress, so as not to catch a cold." ”

He took it for granted, and there were strict rules on what to wear on the canonization ceremony. Xu Xun just can't wear less if she wants, let alone wear more, but she can't bear to hit the emperor, because Wen Yan said with a smile, "I have also prepared a long time ago, and I want to wear two more knee pads, so that my knees are more comfortable when I kneel." ”

"It's not, your sister Hu has been kneeling for a long time, and she coughs when she comes back." The emperor said, "I have been sick again these days, and tomorrow I will be worshiped by you, and I will have to get up and change my clothes." ”

On the day of the queen's canonization, the weather was particularly cold, and the queen got up early, and she wore the few pieces stipulated in the etiquette system. Xu Xun said with a smile, "Her canonization is troublesome, and she has to kneel for a long time, but I am simple, and my clothes are not so heavy, so I won't get sick." ”

While speaking, he couldn't help but show a happy look, as if he didn't have to be the queen and suffer so much trouble to be canonized, as if he was very happy, the emperor saw it, couldn't help but flick it on her forehead, and said with a smile, "It's really stupid." ”

Suddenly remembered it again, so he snapped his fingers and counted Xu Xun, "Because there have been a lot of things in the past few years, and you don't, you haven't taken much money and things a few times, you see that there are few decent decorations in your palace." Think about what is still missing, take the opportunity of the concubine to reward you. ”

Xu looked around the house, looking at the grandson Jieyu when he appreciated the colorful plate, the blue and white vase, Wang Jin sent the hibiscus stone bonsai, the grandson once sent a jade interstitial, Sun Guifei came to play a while ago and brought the red sandalwood pen mountain...... I was a little speechless for a while, so I had to prevaricate the emperor and said, "I have enough of these things, but I don't have enough people - I don't want to exceed the population, just send a few more clever eunuchs and palace maids to call me." ”

Several grandmothers suddenly pricked up their ears, how sensitive the emperor is, how can he not notice it? glanced at them, and then looked at Xu Xun, who didn't know anything, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This girl, even if she is a concubine, does not make people worry. When something happens, it's reliable, and when it's okay, you start to be stupid......

As soon as he thought about this, Xu Xun added, "Now that I have to manage more people, the grandmothers are also a little too busy - I am reluctant to let them out to take care of things, this is all to keep to serve me!" ”

Seeing her talking and smiling, even the emperor couldn't figure out whether Xu Xun said this intentionally or unintentionally.

He really pondered for a while, looked at Xu Xun, and couldn't help laughing again. - My own woman, and I don't know how to calculate myself, whether I have it intentionally or unintentionally, does it matter?

"Yes, now that you are a concubine after all, there are people below who depend on you for food." The emperor thought about it, and also felt that there must be someone to help Xu Xun take care of things, otherwise, Xu Xun usually thought that one thing was one play, and it was okay to take care of things occasionally, but she was tired and panicked when she had to work hard for a long time. "Then this matter will be on the eldest brother, I will definitely pick a few kind people for you to help."

Xu Xun laughed—but his face collapsed again. "Big brother, you can't eat here tonight."

Generally, staying to eat is to spend the night, Xu Xun served the emperor tonight, and it is inevitable that his physical strength will be poor tomorrow, and it will be more difficult to support the canonization ceremony.

It was precisely because Xu Xun was not very good at patting sycophants that this sentence made the emperor very happy, and he hahadaxiao twisted Xu Xun's face. "Silly, do I have to do that if I stay? I'm still eating with you today—let's talk too, and talk to our little followers, and my heart is very open and comfortable. ”

Xu Xun was still a little reluctant, "...... Well, you can't go back......"

She didn't say that it was okay, but the emperor pondered it, and as a result, although he didn't give Xu Xun to the Fa, he also let her play chess again that night, and then he was willing to fall asleep with her.

#

The next morning, Xu Xun was also called up early in the morning. No one cares about the emperor on the bed, a room of people dressed up around Xu Xun, first let her bathe, and then change into a new white underwear, wearing a green edge woven gold cloud dragon jacket, red edge woven gold cloud phoenix skirt, plus a layer of cross-collared narrow sleeves light-colored collar pink gold embroidered phoenix gown, and then a layer of blue-bottomed Luan phoenix cloud pattern bow clothes, and a big red silk coat, which is considered to be all the clothes.

Then began to wear ornaments, dark cyan silk silk Xia hung a phoenix jade pendant, first tied a layer of red line Luo Da belt on the waist, and hung white jade cloud-like silk under the belt, jade flower color ribbon, and then a layer of jade leather belt, with Qingqi, depicting gold cloud phoenix pattern, ten pieces of jade, three pieces of gold nailed into a leather belt, just this belt has more than four catties. Then put on the blue thread socks, painted gold cloud and phoenix pattern green Qi shoes, and the toe inlaid with three pearls - so far, Xu Xun's clothes are finished.

The next thing is the heavy Zhai crown, the imperial concubine Zhai crown is probably about the same size as the crown princess's phoenix crown, but the Zhai bird is used instead of the phoenix bird, and its beauty is naturally needless to say, and the weight is needless to say. Just the golden hairpin, the golden phoenix, and the jewelry Tianhua have a catty, and these things are just used to fix the phoenix crown. The whole phoenix crown is decorated with all kinds of clouds, pearls, stamens, beads, birds, etc., at least five catties...... After taking another Yugu Kei, even if her outfit is completely completed, her whole person is basically crushed and tied up and can't move.

Xu Xun now understood that the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress were powerful, and they were wearing this dress for a day - what about her, after wearing this dress, it was difficult to move around without being supported by others, and she only stood for a while, and her neck was almost broken......

Not to mention the cold - she began to sweat after walking a few steps, so she only drank a sip of water in the morning, and after eating an egg, she didn't dare to eat anything. Finally waited for the hour, and the group took her out and waited for the emperor in the palace.

Although he rested in Yong'an Palace last night, the emperor had to go to the Huagai Hall to take a turn, and he had already been taken away to freshen up and dress up, and dress up like a doll, but he didn't have to wear a grand crown like a canonized queen, and a leather dress was enough. After pretending to be in the Huagai Palace, she sent a person wearing red internal history to Yong'an Palace to canonize her. Xu Xun greeted him out of the palace gate with the support of the left and right, and then came back to salute.

After standing for so long and walking these few steps, Xu Xun was already sore at this time, and she knelt down and saluted several times with the help of her mothers. Xu Xun could take nearly an hour to remove her makeup, comb her hair, and dress up in two hours—but don't worry, that doesn't mean the whole thing can end like this.

About the next morning, Xu Xun and the emperor were about to be fully armed again and went to Fengtian Temple to pay their respects together. After kneeling down, the emperor can play in the Heavenly Temple. Xu Xun himself wanted to go back to the Yong'an Palace to ascend to the palace, open all the doors of the main hall, and while blowing the cold wind, he accepted the worship of the internal and external wives and her relatives on the throne.

After the worship, the snot was blown out, and before she had time to say a few more words to her mother's family, she had to go to the two palaces. First go to Qingning Palace to salute the Queen Mother, and then go to Kunning Palace to salute the Empress. The two palaces are wearing Yanju clothes, and the main hall is waiting, and after worshipping like this, the whole thing is completely over. Whether it is nominally or in terms of etiquette, Prince Xu has officially become Concubine Xu Zhuang.

Then, Concubine Xu Zhuang also lived up to expectations and followed in the footsteps of the queen, Sun Guifei, and He Huifei, and fell ill and fell into bed smoothly......

In the middle of winter, can you toss for two days from dawn to dark, can you not get sick? This piece of clothing, it is a winter wind and cold, summer heat stroke, spring and autumn can still be pressed out of the disease, the so-called canonization ceremony, is completely pure physical work!

Concubine Xu Zhuang fell on the bed and bit her handkerchief, and thought resentfully while sneezing: It turns out that the imperial concubine is honored, and it is not without a price!

However, although the canonization ceremony was a little hard, it was not without benefits to becoming an imperial concubine, which made Xu Xun surprised and delighted the first benefit, and it was also rumored that he had reached Yong'an Palace.
