Chapter 42: The Queen is not easy

?

In the evening, Qi Heng came to my palace for dinner, and when he was serving him tea, Jiang Shouquan came in and asked, "Your Majesty, can you still bring in the fold for review as before!"

Qi Heng stared at him coldly, Jiang Shouquan trembled, his 'legs' were weak, and I smiled: "Gonggong Jiang is really confused, how can there be a reason not to sleep at night, and he can't go down!"

Jiang Shouquan sweated and said busily: "Yes, yes, the slave is confused, the slave is confused." "Hurriedly withdrew, let people carry the fold back to the Yanying Palace.

I smiled at Qi Heng and said, "The old people who are used to serving also have bad moments, but the emperor is generous and doesn't care about them!"

Qi Heng took a sip of tea, his face softened, and said: "He is old and confused, next time he will be a bad person, go home to retire!"

Jiang Shouquan bowed down at the 'door', and listened to the emperor say next time, he hurriedly knelt down and said that he would not dare next time, I smiled and said nothing, and next time it was good, Jiang Shouquan was also an understanding person, and raised his head to cast a 'excited' glance at me.

Qiheng discussed tea with me, I have a light taste of tea silver needles and blue snails 'spring', he is used to drinking strong tea, speaking of Hangzhou, said: "Qi Min came back from Hangzhou a few days ago, brought me some water from the Tiger Spring, I soaked in Longjing, and it really lived up to its reputation!"

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did the king of Langya go to Hangzhou, but the concubine doesn't know!"

He glanced at me and said, "He is a foreign minister, and now he has moved out of the palace and lived in the palace.

I nodded, fell silent, and for a moment the room fell into a dullness, and I had no intention of catching a glimpse of him looking at me, and hurriedly smiled at him, and said, "The king of the county is really stingy, bringing such good water only knows how to honor the eldest brother, but he doesn't know how to honor my sister-in-law!"

He smiled and said, "I didn't bring much, and there are so many people in the harem, if I just bring it to you, it's nothing, but there will be a chance in the future." Before I could speak, he asked, "Which palace do you like?"

I looked at him suspiciously, and he said lightly: "Oh, the queen wants to have her own bedroom, so ask!"

I was stunned for a while, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, have you really decided?"

He lowered his head to drink his tea and said "um".

I sighed in my heart, he really had a conclusion, I would not be stupid enough to refuse him in person, and asked jokingly: "Didn't the abolished queen live in the Zichen Palace with the emperor, why is it the turn of the concubines to open another palace!"

He didn't say much, but said: "The queen should have her own bedroom!"

"In that case, let's not stick anywhere. I said nonchalantly.

He suddenly smiled, rubbed the tea lid with his thumb and fingertips, looked at me with a smile, and said, "Sleep!"

After a good night's sleep, I woke up in the morning and felt sore, but he was 'refreshed', looking at me from the mirror while dressing and saying, "You can sleep a little longer, you don't have to get up early in the future!"

I smiled tiredly, how could I not have to get up early, but felt that I would be more tired than before, I had to dress up every day, sit down seriously and accept the morning and dusk, ignore him, and turn around and go to sleep.

He paid attention to it in his heart, and began to remove thorns on the road back for me, and for several days, he belittled several 'protégés' of Zhongshu Ling with large and small crimes, and promoted several 'protégés' who recommended me as my father in the same way.

Zhongshu Ling said that he was sick, and the emperor had a cold face at that time, and said: "Since you are sick, let's take care of your illness." Then he called the Imperial Physician Ling to go to the consultation, and the Imperial Physician Ling came back and said that Zhongshu Ling was seriously ill, and he would not be able to get better for two or three months, and the emperor said: "It will take so long, then this period of time will be temporarily replaced by Zhongshu 'Waiter' Lang!"

Wei Yongyan, the 'waiter' of the Chinese book, was overjoyed, and knocked on Long En in the hall, he had been suppressed by the Zhongshu Order, and now he finally exhaled and raised his eyebrows.

I heard that Zhongshu Ling was so angry at home that he vomited blood and was really sick.

There is also that wonderful person Wei Yongyan, said that it was my blessing, just got the first day of the copper seal, he drafted a decree after the establishment of the will, the emperor approved on the spot, Wei Yongyan felt that the emperor attached great importance to himself, personally held the holy decree to go to the 'door' province, and the concubine's father saw the holy decree and immediately approved, from the 'door' to Shangshu Province, faster, and waited until the holy decree was announced, it took just four days.

This matter was decided in this way, and the people of the Taishi Bureau divined it, and felt that the Dragon Boat Festival was just right to carry out the canonization ceremony, but the days were too hasty, and the people of the Sixth Bureau were only afraid that they would have to rush day and night to get rid of the ritual system used for canonization.

And what I am busy dealing with is the flattery of the people in the harem, in the past, only the concubines and concubines often came to the Yaoguang Palace, and now from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to bed at night, there are people who come to visit, I am very annoyed, fortunately at this time, the aunts who taught me the etiquette of the queen came, sent the people who visited, and began to learn the etiquette of the queen.

The old aunt with a deep tense face with vertical lines at the corners of her mouth looked at the golden hairpin on my head and shook her head: "No, I want to add more, add more!"

My neck can't stand up straight, but just as I was about to lower my head, the old aunt would say something to stop me: "Niangniang can't bow her head, Niangniang will be the queen in the future, what is the queen, she is the middle palace, she is in the same car with the emperor, she is the model of the harem, and she is the mother of the country!"

As long as I did something wrong, even if I showed half an impatient expression, she would repeat this passage.

'Spring' couldn't bear to look at it, and whispered to comfort me: "Don't worry, Niangniang, you don't have to wear such a heavy phoenix crown after the canonization ceremony!"

I couldn't move, I could only smile at her kindly.

The old aunt was 'lust' to 'spring' and said: "You will be the noblest palace around Niangniang in the future, above the six bureaus, for the four grades of 'female' officials, why do you not know the importance of it, in the future, Niangniang will dominate the harem, and the affairs of the six bureaus will pass through you to reach Niangniang's hands, it seems that you also have to accept the teaching, Aunt Sun, this girl will be 'handed over' to you!"

In front of them, even the 'spring' equinox has become a "girl", but thinking that they are the ones who have 'served' the queen mother, I can't say anything, I can only smile bitterly.

She was originally the most powerful person around me, and she had never been given a 'color' on her face, but the situation we will face in the future will only be more dangerous, if you don't study hard now, you will be embarrassed in the future, how to get through it.

Think of it as grinding.

I took a deep breath and followed the instructions to raise my head, 'straighten' my chest, and tuck my abdomen......

During the day, I learned etiquette, and at night I had to recite what I needed to say on the day of the canonization, and I could only sleep for two or three hours a day, and I could not meet the emperor.

A few days later, my aunt saw my tired face, frowned, and said, "Niangniang's temperament is too bad, go and invite someone from the Shangshi Bureau to come, I want to open a meal list for Niangniang to replenish her body!"

She will too, I can't help but be speechless, and began to eat according to her diet list every day, and the fatigue of the body is slowly reduced, and the mood has calmed down.

Now, I can't help but be impressed by her.

In addition to these, I also have to arrange the affairs of moving the palace, and my dormitory is arranged in the largest and most glorious Chenghuan Hall next to the Zichen Palace.

"Chenghuan Hall was lived by Empress Wende, Empress Wende advocated frugality, and the original Chenghuan Hall was also very simple, but after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he rested again, and it was what it looks like today. Teaching my aunt said briefly, then glanced at me, and said, "Chenghuan Hall has been immortal since Empress Wende, the empress of Emperor Taizong, and the empress of the first emperor have never stayed, and the former empress needless to say, Niangniang is a blessed person!"

I smiled and said, "Aunt Chengwan has made a good statement!"

Aunt Wan nodded and said, "Niangniang has become a bit of a queen, I hope Niangniang will make persistent efforts!"

I smiled bitterly again, but she immediately frowned: "The slave really shouldn't praise the mother!"

I couldn't laugh or cry.

On the evening of the third day of the fifth lunar month, the Shangfu Bureau sent the golden crown, the Sui Fu robe, Zhai Zhang and the beaded shoes, etc., to try them on under the guidance of Aunt Wan, one layer, two layers, three layers, four layers, and five layers...... I was a little out of breath, but fortunately, Aunt Wan said that it would be the end of it, and the new clothes would be worn on that day.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, tried on the beaded shoes, and didn't feel anything when I put my feet in, but when I stood up, I suddenly felt a tingling pain in the soles of my feet, and fell to the ground with an exclamation.

Everyone was stunned, and the people in the Shangfu Bureau were even more shocked, kneeling on the ground and not daring to say anything.

Aunt Wan fell silent and looked at me, is this testing my way of doing things?

I called for the 'spring equinox' and said only one word: "Check." "I'm also testing the 'spring' equinox to see if she can be qualified for the position of the most powerful 'female' official around me.

'Spring' not only checked, but also quietly checked, the second day at noon gave me a name, I glanced at it, and said: "Send it to Gong Zhengji first, and when the auspicious day passes, the rod will be killed!"

Whether the person was intentional or unintentional, she had to die.

My first step as a queen started with her.

Aunt Wan bowed her head lightly on the side and said to me: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day, the slave maid can no longer serve the mother, the slave and the maid have been in the palace for decades, and there are countless people, the mother can be described as a great blessing, and the better is still to come!"

I smiled: "Thank you Aunt Jiyan, Gu Yu, look at the reward, send my aunt out!"

Gu Yu was like 'being amnestied', and sent a few people out like a plague.

Before going to bed at night, Qiheng came.

I took it calmly, and he helped me up, looked me up and down, and said, "Rest well tonight, tomorrow will be very tired!"

"Yes, please go back and rest early!"

His fingers gently ran over my eyebrows, cheeks, and jaw, and said something to me, and I couldn't help but smile.

I know that after tonight, I will no longer be Ji Fuyu, no longer Arao, but Queen Ji.
