Chapter 144: The Ceremony After the Seal
The post-closure ceremony was held as scheduled.
Early in the morning, when Ye Lingxi woke up with excitement, Xingchen had already sent the repaired queen's court dress to Ye Lingxi's room.
Ye Lingxi carefully checked it again, although there were still small thread flaws, but there were no major problems overall.
This time, Ye Lingxi didn't dare to modify the court clothes by herself, she carefully changed into the court clothes, and then took the special queen sedan chair to the Taihe Palace.
The major canonization ceremonies of Jun'an Kingdom are held in the Taihe Palace, and the tablets of the kings of the Jun'an Kingdom are placed on the high platform in the center of the main hall for future generations to bow down and pay respects.
There are dozens of steps in the main hall, which is enough to make the people in the high places form a natural deterrent to the people on the ground, Yuwen Yin has already stood in the high place, and the civil and military officials have already been waiting in the main hall, just waiting for Ye Lingxi to come and then read the holy decree.
Although Ye Lingxi is usually nervous and ignores the rules of the palace, she is still very good at the stage on critical occasions.
A few days ago, the old lady who was in charge of teaching etiquette and rules had already told Ye Lingxi all the precautions.
For example, when going up the steps, you should be very cautious, walk slowly and at a uniform pace, step by step, and the steps are the most noble tablets, and you must always maintain a solemn and respectful attitude to avoid being found out by someone with a heart and cure her for the crime of disrespect.
For another example, after climbing the last step, Ye Lingxi had to wait until Yu Wenyin stretched out her hand to her before she could put her hand into Yu Wenyin's hand, and under the guidance of Yu Wenyin, she slowly turned around and faced the civil and military officials.
For example, after the decree is read, the civil and military officials will kneel down to worship the emperor and the queen. At this time, the queen mother needs to wait for the emperor to say "flat", and immediately follow up with a sentence of "flat", so as to avoid the civil and military officials falling into the embarrassing situation of "not getting up, not being up".
……
The rules are cumbersome, Ye Lingxi cheered up the spirit of twelve, step by step towards the happiness she thought she had.
Yu Wenyin looked at Ye Lingxi in a red court dress, with a gentle smile on his serious face, so beautiful that it was thrilling, and such beauty, from now on, will only bloom for him alone.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenyin was in a good mood. Jiangshan, he wants it, beauty, he wants it too!
When Ye Lingxi walked up the last step, Yu Wenyin stretched out her left hand in front of her.
Ye Lingxi looked at the emaciated hand in front of him, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his hand, ready to put it in Yu Wenyin's hand.
However, just as Ye Lingxi's hand was about to touch Yu Wenyin's hand, Ye Lingxi's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. The pain, like a pinprick prick, pierced straight into her heart.
Instinctively, Ye Lingxi withdrew the hand that was about to be placed in Yu Wenyin's hand, and instead stroked it towards his chest.
The pain in the heart comes irrepressible dizziness.
Although Ye Lingxi was very eager to insist on standing firmly, however, the physical discomfort would not change because of her psychological condition, and her body fell backwards uncontrollably, Yu Wenyin hurriedly took a step forward and stopped Ye Lingxi to prevent her from falling straight down the steps.
"What's wrong with Xi'er?"
Ye Lingxi tried hard to keep his eyes open so as not to lose consciousness, and what he saw was Yu Wenyin's worried eyes.
"I'm fine...... Sorry ......"
Ye Lingxi's heart was sullen, just now, she suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if if once she put her hand in Yu Wenyin's palm, she would lose one of the most important things.
The queen's body was unwell and she couldn't stand steadily...... There has never been such a change in the post-sealing ceremony of the past dynasties, and the civil and military officials stood in the main hall, no one dared to speak first, and they all waited for Yu Wenyin's arrangement.
Yuwen Yin was anxious to complete the post-sealing ceremony, so he stopped and picked up Ye Lingxi, and decided to complete the post-sealing ceremony immediately while Ye Lingxi was still awake.
"The queen is now pregnant with my imperial heir, and she is unwell, and I am helpless to hold the queen to complete the post-sealing ceremony. I believe that the ancestors of the Yuwen clan will definitely understand me, after all, what is in the queen's belly is the descendants of the Yuwen family. ”
Yu Wenyin's words made the civil and military officials unable to refute, the imperial heir is very important, and the body of the queen mother is indeed the most important. The rules are set by people, and people's lives are at stake, so they can't help but think about the queen.
When the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, the civil and military officials bowed in unison, and the emperor and the queen announced "flat" respectively, and the ceremony was completed.
The matter of Jun Anguo's post-sealing ceremony naturally spread in Jun Anguo's capital.
At this time, Chu Yunxi was restless in an inn not far from the palace, he couldn't enter the palace, he didn't know Ye Lingxi's condition, and he was very puzzled by the development of things.
He regretted it very much now, he followed Ye Lingxi that day and saw her approaching the palace of Jun Anguo, he should have appeared in time to stop Ye Lingxi and ask clearly!
It is rumored that the queen mother is beautiful and fragrant, and she is already pregnant with the imperial heir. Chu Yunxi is basically sure that the queen of Jun Anguo this time must be Ye Lingxi.
However, how could Ye Lingxi become the queen of Jun Anguo?! The child in her belly, most likely the heir of Tianhe Kingdom, how could she suddenly become the imperial heir of Jun Anguo?!
In the palace, after the end of the post-sealing ceremony, Yuwen Yin pretended to be nervous and returned to Xingliu Palace with Ye Lingxi in his arms.
In fact, Yu Wenyin's heart wished that there would be some accident in Ye Lingxi's stomach, so that the evil seed would be stillborn as soon as possible!
After Ye Lingxi left the Taihe Palace, the pain in her heart and the dizziness in her brain were quickly relieved, as if the reason for her discomfort was the same as the Sealing Ceremony itself.
Yu Wenyin sent Ye Lingxi back to Xingliu Palace, and after instructing the imperial doctor to treat him wholeheartedly, he left Xingliu Palace under the pretext of handling government affairs.
When Yu Wenyin left, Ye Lingxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so embarrassing today...... If it weren't for the child in her belly as an excuse to protect her, maybe she would have been impeached to death by the ministers of the court's good deeds......
The results of the imperial doctor's examination were that Ye Lingxi's body did not have any problems at all, the fetus was stable, good for life and maintenance, and he gave birth to the imperial heir smoothly, so there must be no problems.
Ye Lingxi had already known about this result, she herself was the apprentice of the divine doctor, and of course her own body knew best. Today's inexplicable situation, even she herself can't find a reason.
Shaking his head, Ye Lingxi decided to put this matter behind him, and the next harem battle was the main event. It is not an easy task to give birth to a baby smoothly in the palace!
After Yu Wenyin returned to the imperial study, he immediately called a confidant palace maid, who was an inconspicuous palace maid he had rewarded Ye Lingxi, named Rou Ying, who was doing some sprinkling and sweeping work in the Xingliu Palace recently.
"You have a way to get the queen to ...... as soon as possible Accidental slippery tires. ”
Rou Ying was kneeling on the ground with her head down, and when she heard Yu Wenyin's words, she raised her head in surprise. She never expected that the task assigned to her by Yuwenyin would be to frame Ye Lingxi's slippery tire.
The queen who is extremely gentle to her subordinates, kind, and aura...... How sad would she be if she slipped the tire......
What is the emperor's attitude towards the queen's mother, Rou Ying is becoming more and more incomprehensible......
"The queen understands poison, don't use those tricks of the Thousand Poison Gate, don't arouse her suspicion."
After a short period of stunned, Rou Ying hurriedly recovered her expressionless appearance, and she firmly remembered the rules of the Thousand Poison Gate. No matter how unreasonable the master's commands may be, they must be carried out without question.
"My subordinates understand."
"Remember, as soon as possible. Let's go down. ”
Yu Wenyin once again emphasized "as soon as possible", which shows how eager he was to kill the child in Ye Lingxi's belly.
Ye Lingxi, who was concentrating on raising a fetus in the Xingliu Palace, would not know that at this time, her belly was not only remembered by the women of the harem, but also privately sentenced to death by her trusted husband.
Although Rou Ying has not been serving in the Thousand Poison Gate and entering the palace for a long time in the past, she is very clever and has heard a lot of rumors, so she also understands the women's battles in the harem. Without poisoning, if you want to make Ye Lingxi accidentally slip the tire, the best way is to use the hands of those stupid women in the harem.
In this case, the queen mother will not be suspicious of her.
A sinister plan gradually took shape in Rouying's mind.
The Empress likes to hang out in the palace, which is something that everyone in the Xingliu Palace knows. However, the queen did not like many people to follow, and every time she went out, she only took the stars and four palace maids, which is also known to everyone.
Rou Ying was assigned to the work of sprinkling and sweeping, and she had no chance to hang out with Ye Lingxi. The first step she did was to secretly poison a palace maid who went out with the queen's mother, causing her to have continuous diarrhea. After a few days, I became weak to follow the queen mother.
Then, Rou Ying "recommended herself" in front of the queen's mother.
After getting along for a period of time, Rou Ying has figured out Ye Lingxi's temperament, straightforward, not pretentious, and doesn't like palace maids who are too timid.
So, Rou Ying deliberately messed up a flower pot in front of Ye Lingxi, and admitted her mistake without being humble or arrogant, not at all as panicked as ordinary palace maids after doing something wrong.
Sure enough, Ye Lingxi took the bait, and she directly clicked on Rouying to follow closely.
The second step that Rou Ying did was to find out the route of Ye Lingxi's wandering in the palace, and then, inadvertently, reveal it to the other concubines in the harem.
There are many unique attractions in the palace of Jun'anguo, such as rockeries, pavilions, etc., many of which need to go up some steps, and if Ye Lingxi can "accidentally" fall from the steps, it is very likely to cause the consequences of slippery tires.
As a last resort, Rouying didn't want to take action herself.
First, Rou Ying's move will definitely arouse the suspicion of the queen, after all, she was rewarded by the emperor to the queen.
Second, Rou Ying was a little ruthless towards Ye Lingxi. Although the door rules of the Thousand Poisons Gate are strict, after some days of getting along, Rou Ying likes Ye Lingxi, the queen mother, in her heart.
Therefore, the best situation is that there are concubines who can't bear it and take the initiative to send them to the door.
After waiting patiently for a few days, Rou Ying's opportunity came.
