Chapter 43: I Am the Last (1)

?

When I really put on the crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, and put on the queen's robe, I really knew how heavy the responsibility of the queen was!

In the mirror, I was shrouded in gold and red, my face was white and white, I couldn't see my true self, I only felt that I was a dummy piled up by these clothes and jewelry, I was dressed up like a wood carving, the phoenix crown pressed my neck pain, and when the outermost layer of robes was added, I didn't even dare to sigh.

'Spring' looked at me with a smile on the side, a complete stranger to me.

"Niangniang, the auspicious time is coming. Someone reminded in a low voice.

I bowed slightly, turned around, and followed.

It's just that I didn't expect that my envoy was Huo Qing, who stood outside the 'door', respectfully presented the luan ribbon, and invited me to board the car and go to the Xuanzheng Hall to receive the canonization.

After the canonization ceremony, because I am the successor, I cannot accept the worship of hundreds of officials in Hanyuan Square, and must walk to the Chenghuan Hall to be bowed by the clan relatives and the internal and external orders of the 'women'.

The ground is covered with red satin, and along the red satin, not far away is the Chenghuan Palace.

The morning sun is mild and brilliant, I lowered my eyes, supported by two 'female' officials left and right to walk slowly on the red satin, feeling the 'yin' shadow in front, I raised my head, Chenghuan Hall was impressively in front of me, and not far from it, it was the emperor's bedroom Zichen Palace.

I stopped, a smile on my lips.

Qiheng said to me last night: "In the future, you don't have to look at people's faces anymore!"

Somehow, since entering the palace, the careful appearance has jumped in my mind, I really don't have to look at the 'color' of people's faces, the former queen has to look at the 'color' of Zheng Guifei's face when she is there, and I, the successor, have long been incompatible with her.

". "'Spring' looked at me worriedly.

I gave her a reassuring look and kept walking.

When I received the prostration, I didn't have to do anything, I just sat down and gave the reward at the prompting of Shang Yi.

The first to bow is not the second prince, but the eldest princess who has been married to the former queen, and the horse came to congratulate, her face is very solemn, but the sincerity of kneeling is not enough!

The second prince didn't look at my face from beginning to end when he bowed, and his gaze seemed to have been at my feet.

After the princesses and princes, it is the 'woman' in the harem, the concubine is the first, she is arrogant, there is not even a trace of respect, there is no charter in a sloppy manner, the celebrant looks at her with an embarrassed face, I smiled, I had expected it to be like this, I didn't make a sound, and still gave the reward.

The celebrant breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sing, after the 'woman' in the harem, there are the ministers and the 'women' in the foreign order.

When King Langya walked into the hall, I froze.

He was dressed in a purple robe with a 'jade' belt, and his skin was better than snow, and his face was handsome, but his eyes were indifferent, his expression was rigid, and even his movements were stiffer than usual.

My heart was heavy and painful, and I didn't dare to look at him, and when he got up, I turned my head sideways to signal the reward to Shangyi on the side.

The princess of Langya County was full of smiles, and saluted me happily, and I rewarded her with a golden hairpin and bead 'flowers' with an expressionless face.

The foreign 'women' were all smiling, but I was already tired, and I was dazzled by their court clothes, and the injuries on the soles of my feet seemed to be painful, and there was an impatient look on my face, and I was really afraid that something unpleasant would happen to me if I sat down like this again.

The phoenix crown on my head seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and I pinched my palm to endure it.

Finally, when the greetings of the foreign 'woman' were over, I immediately got up and went into the temple to change into my regular clothes.

After changing into regular clothes, you have to go to Qinghui Pavilion to attend a family banquet.

was changing clothes, and the people in the palace around him knelt on the ground, I knew that it was Qiheng who came, but I really didn't even have the strength to turn around.

"I'm tired!"

"yes, I'm tired. "I'm going to bow down, and he's going to pay homage to the ancestral temple, and it's not easy for everyone.

He smiled and said, "I'll wait for you outside!"

The palace 'women' have sped up the speed of changing clothes!!How can the emperor wait for a long time.

Came to Qinghui Pavilion with Qiheng, it stands to reason that the emperor and queen are the last to arrive, and we should all be together when we arrive, and after taking a seat, I saw that the first seat was empty.

"What about the concubine. Qi Heng's expression was displeased.

The second prince hurriedly came out and said, "The concubine is unwell, so go back to the palace to rest first!"

Qi Heng frowned and said: "It's still this temper, even if you are unwell and ask to retire in the future, you have to say it in advance!"

The second prince looked at each other and said in a low voice: "Yes." After a pause, he said: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the mother concubine remembered that the sixth brother was here, and the sixth brother used to love zongzi!"

I glanced over slightly, and Qi Heng really couldn't bear to show his face, so he smiled a little and said, "Then later, let someone offer some zongzi that the sixth prince liked before his death, in front of his tablet!"

Qiheng nodded, let the second prince get up and sit down, and as soon as he got up, I sighed faintly: "It's a pity that the twelve princes of this palace didn't live to eat zongzi." "The second prince's body slammed, and I sneered in my heart, I used the dead to compete for favor, and I owe you to do it.

Qi Heng frowned again and said, "Today is a day of great joy, don't say this anymore, let's have a banquet." I sat side by side with him, and he pinched my fingers under the table, either as a relief or as a warning.

I know that this meal is destined to be unpleasant, and I don't bother to talk to those indifferent people anymore, they will always be the same face, always hiding their hearts and trying not to let others see through, but I am not qualified to despise them, because I am also one of them.

During the banquet, Concubine Ya frequently toasted me and Qiheng, and we were overwhelmed, but she herself got drunk first.

"Your Majesty, you can ask your concubines to sing and dance for you, whether you are happy or not today, you must be very happy, hehe...... I—I'm really ...... I'm happy for you too. Concubine Ya's cheeks flushed, and she staggered out with a wine glass, disrupting the dancing girls, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Rong's dance is good, it should be regarded as a wedding gift for you and the queen!"

I cast a warning look at her and said, "You're drunk!"

Concubine Ya shook off the hand of the palace 'girl' who was holding her, and said loudly: "I'm not drunk!"

I ignored her and said to Qiheng: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ya is drunk, let people send her back to the palace!"

Qi Heng bowed his head, and immediately two eunuchs stepped forward and took Concubine Ya out, Concubine Ya shouted loudly as she walked: "Does the emperor not like the concubines, the emperor, the emperor, the concubines dance to show you well, does the emperor really dislike me!"

Her voice faded away, and no one answered her.

Looking at the dancing girl who was at a loss on the ground, I said with a smile: "What are you still doing in a daze, keep dancing, the palace and the emperor are not happy yet, what do you think, the emperor." I looked at Qiheng

Qi Heng looked back at me, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and there was a playful smile in his eyes, and he said, "Yes, go on!"
