Then I came here.

"There's Father-in-law Lao Li." Qian Yan glanced at Aunt Qin.

Aunt Qin rewarded Li Zhong with silver taels and the eunuchs and palace maids who carried the canonization rewards.

After Li Zhong received the reward, he instructed the eunuchs to count the rewards, and left with the eunuchs.

After Li Zhong and the others left, the minions of the Tilting Pear Hall gathered one after another, knelt in the hall and said to the head of the court: "Congratulations to Niangniang for being promoted to the concubine position." ”

He said with a faint "um", "After you count the things you have rewarded and put them in the warehouse, go down and receive the reward." ”

"Thank you, concubine." The minions rejoiced and began to count the gifts in the courtyard.

Qian Yan just sat at the top of the hall, looking at the minions in the courtyard, and their faces were all smiling with joy.

At this moment, the mood of the face is average.

It's not good, it's not bad, it's not much different from usual.

The only thing that felt happy was that the emperor promoted her to a concubine, and her position in the harem was more stable.

Remember the URL

There is another point worth being happy about, that is, if the concubine is born, she can raise the imperial heir by herself.

At the same time, Concubine Wen of Wenhua Hall was copying Buddhist scriptures in the dormitory.

She already believed in Buddhism, and since the death of Jiang Cairen and Emperor Xiaoshu's concubine, she copied Buddhist scriptures in the harem and prayed for the harem.

"Niangniang, the emperor has raised the positions of Concubine Rou, Concubine Jing, and Jiang Meiren to a higher level this time." The palace maid reported the news she had just heard to Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen's hand that was copying scriptures paused slightly.

Soon, however, she was copying the scriptures as usual.

said lightly: "As early as when Concubine Shu died, the palace knew that Concubine Rou would become a concubine sooner or later." ”

？？？ The palace maid asked a little puzzled: "Didn't the emperor promote Concubine Rou because Jiang Cairen and Emperor Xiaoshu died one after another, and the atmosphere in the palace was too sad, and he wanted to sweep away the sadness and bad luck?" ”

"Besides, it's not just Concubine Rou who has been promoted, but Concubine Jing and Jiang Meiren have also been promoted."

Concubine Wen smiled lightly, on the surface, the emperor wanted to drive away the bad luck and make the harem festive.

But she knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Wen Guifei: "You don't want to think about it, before Emperor Xiaoshu gave birth to the emperor's first son after ascending the throne, the emperor didn't give the promotion, and the position was only given when he died, why is this?" ”

The palace maid pondered slightly, "Of course, it is so that Concubine Shu can balance each other with you during her lifetime......"

Speaking of this, the palace maid seemed to know something terrible, and her eyes widened.

Now that Concubine Shu is dead, Concubine Wen is alone, and no one can check and balance, so the emperor immediately promoted Concubine Rou to concubine.

In this way, there are two more concubines in the harem who contain each other.

Concubine Wen nodded and said softly, "In addition, Concubine Rou's father is a cabinet minister, as early as when the emperor was still a prince, her father vigorously supported and suppressed those ministers who supported others. ”

"Now there is another position to promote the imperial concubine, of course the emperor sold his favor and gave this position to Concubine Rou."

The emperor and Concubine Rou's father have the grace of knowing the monarch and the minister.

Just like the emperor and her father also have the grace of acquaintance.

But on the other hand, the emperor guarded against Concubine Rou's father and daughter, as well as her and her father.

Palace maid: "It's still the mother's unique opinion." ”

Concubine Wen Guifei saw that the personal palace maid was enlightened, so she talked about Concubine Jing again.

"And that Jing Concubine, since her father and brother went to the Dongdan Kingdom, she has frequently won the emperor's favor."

"Do you really think that she Jing Concubine has been in the palace for so long, and suddenly she fell into the eyes of the emperor? It wasn't that her father and brother had made meritorious contributions in the previous dynasty, and Concubine Jing raised the third prince again, so she was promoted. ”

The palace maid nodded suddenly in realization, "What about Jiang Meiren?" Isn't it because of her meritorious service in managing the Tilting Medical Pavilion, so the emperor promoted her to the position? ”

Wen Guifei: "Sort of, but it's not all. Jiang Meiren had already started to manage the Tilt Medical Pavilion in the middle of last year, and not long after the school opened, it had achieved good results and increased the healing degree of Beilin. ”

"If the emperor had given her a promotion because of this alone, why wait until now?"

Palace maid: "Is there any other reason?" ”

Concubine Wen thought about it slightly, "Didn't Jiang Cairen just die, there is only Jiang Meiren in Xizi Country, the princess who married, the emperor can't treat her well, and it can be regarded as giving face to Xizi Country." Just like the year before last, Jiang Qianyan was demoted from the position of queen to a talented person, and then jumped off the building to seek death, at that time, Jiang Cairen was still a concubine, wasn't he also promoted from a concubine to a concubine? ”

At the end, she added, "Of course, Jiang Meiren's management of the Tilting Medical Pavilion has more or less played a role." ”

The emperor has never promoted the harem concubines for no reason.

Once promoted, there is a good reason for it.

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder the emperor even thinks about the title, and directly uses the "tilt" in her name as the title. The palace maid smiled.

Hearing this, Concubine Wen, who didn't care about it, was slightly stunned.

She looked up and asked the palace maid, "What did you say?" The emperor actually used 'tilt' as the title of Jiang Meiren? ”

"yes." The palace maid returned.

Concubine Wen's eyes turned slightly, and she muttered: "'Tilt', admiration, admiration, and city." Although it is not a formal word, it gives people a subtle sense of admiration and love, and it reads gently, and the metaphor is as intriguing as three days around the beam. ”

"In addition, she took the word 'tilt' in Jiang Meiren's name and used her own name as a title, just for this reason, she is the only one in this harem!"

Speaking of this, Concubine Wen was stunned.

After a long time, she said: "You go and prepare three congratulatory gifts, and send them to Concubine Rou, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Tilt respectively according to their positions." ”

After speaking, she waved her hand and motioned for the palace maid to step back.

------

On the 16th day of February, it was the day of the canonization of Yanyan, Rou Guifei, and Jing Concubine.

The ancients paid great attention to the sense of ceremony, and the canonization ceremony was also one of the etiquettes of the northern court.

Since there are three concubines on this day, a canonization ceremony needs to be held.

Yes, according to the position, the female officials of the Ministry of Rites first went to Concubine Rou, and then to Concubine Jing.

In the end, it's the turn of the face.

In the harem, only when the queen and the imperial concubine are canonized, they need the worship of the princes and ministers.

A few positions are not high, so there are not so many complicated forms.

However, Concubine Rou is also a concubine in the end.

Therefore, her canonization gift has been held for the longest time.

After the female official finished the canonization ceremony of Concubine Rou, she went to Concubine Jing again.

When the female official of the Ministry of Etiquette arrived at the time of Qianyan, Tianyan was already wearing a jujube red auspicious dress and sitting in the hall.

And in the middle of the hall is an incense table.

When she heard Xiao Guizi singing the newspaper, she took Xiao Lian's hand and walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the gate of the Tilting Pear Palace.

Tilting Yan stood on the right side of the entrance of the Tilting Pear Hall in auspicious clothes.

When the ceremonial officer saw the face, she said, "Kneel!" ”

As she said, she knelt in place.

The female officer said "book" again.

Immediately afterward, she heard the female officer reading the book.

"The female official of the Ministry of Rites holds the festival, canonizes the beauty Jiang, and is a concubine. The book says. I only rely on things to do. Must choose the quality of Roujia......

The Jiang family and Jiuxian Mujiao are taught by the Meiren of Shier. Chieftain for women. Etiquette is a sect. Rin was careful and stern. Diligence and diligence......

Zun Nei is gentle and respectful to the Empress Dowager's benevolence. Canonized Er as a concubine. Chin Jai ......"

After announcing the book, the female official Zuo awarded the book to Tanyan.

After taking it, he handed it over to the right female officer.

After kneeling down on the right, the female officer said in a loud voice: "Salute!" ”

So, he bowed six times, knelt down three times and bowed three times.

After the ceremony, he rewarded the female officials of the Ministry of Rites with silver and sent them to the right side of the door.

And after the female officials left from the Tilting Pear Palace, they returned to the Longxuan Hall to resume their lives.

That night, the emperor stayed at the highest-ranking concubine according to the rules.

The next day, according to the rules, the newly canonized concubines need to go to the queen mother, emperor, and empress to greet the empress dowager, emperor, and empress.

But now that there is no queen in the middle palace, it is omitted to ask the queen to salute.

Instead, he went to the Queen Mother first, and then went to the Emperor to say goodbye.

Similarly, when Concubine Rou and Concubine Jing finished asking for peace, they went to the Chengfu Palace.

Now that she is a concubine, she does not have to walk in the palace, but can take the chariot carried by six people as a substitute.

When I arrived at the Chengfu Palace, before I got down, I saw Mama Ding standing at the door with her servants looking forward to it.

He helped Xiaolian's subordinates.

Mama Ding said happily: "Congratulations to the queen mother on her promotion to the concubine position, the queen mother is waiting for you in the hall, and go in." ”

Qian Yan nodded to Mama Ding, entered the hall, and bowed six times, three times and three times to the Queen Mother.

"Get up, good boy." The Queen Mother walked down from above and personally helped her face.

She also took Qian Yan's hand, tightened and tightened, and looked at Qian Yan with a pair of eyes kindly, "Good boy, you really didn't disappoint the mourning family." ”

"Thanks to my aunt's care." Smile back.

"No, no, no, it's your own work." The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand gently, "If you want to continue like this, it's best to give birth to a grandson for the mourning family, it just so happens that you have been promoted to the concubine position now, and your status has risen, and you can raise the imperial heir by yourself." ”

"As for the emperor's side, the mourning family will find a time to have a good chat with him and ask him to withdraw your shunzi soup, okay?"

As for whether the emperor listens to her or not, that's the emperor's business.

But she always wanted to remind the emperor.

Her beauty is so good, she can't be childless, she must have a few more lovely grandchildren!

Qian Yan didn't expect the Queen Mother to suddenly mention this stubble, especially since there was a group of minions around.

It made her very embarrassed, and her face turned red.

However, the Queen Mother was shy when she saw it, and she didn't know what to make up in her head, and she smiled with a very satisfied smile on her face.

The Queen Mother didn't wait for Yan Yan to say anything, so she said: "Okay, this matter is settled, the time is almost up, you go to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

A black man with a question mark face???

She didn't say anything!

The Queen Mother saw that she was stunned in place, and couldn't help urging her, "Go to Longxuan Palace, what are you doing here?" ”
