Mrs. Cheng received the will from the palace and prepared to pack her dress and enter the palace to say goodbye.

The Taifu knew that his wife entered the palace to embroider a wedding dress for the emperor, and he was also happy in his heart.

Since he saw the emperor at the New Year's feast, he always thought of the first emperor. If the first emperor is still there, he must be gratified.

Unexpectedly, not long after the emperor recovered, he made a marriage contract.

Thinking about the court situation over the years, he sighed with some emotion, stroked his beard and said: "Emperor Ji has been sick and weak all these years, you have to embroider a few stitches for her, and give her a good fortune." ”

"I see. Emperor Ji can be regarded as having studied the Four Books and Five Classics under your knees, and I know that you feel sorry for that child. When I enter the palace this time, I will definitely embroider two stitches for her and bring blessings to her. ”

Mrs. Cheng responded to this and said with a smile.

She also experienced strong winds and waves when she was young, and now that she is old, she has no ambitions, and she just wants to watch her juniors and Hemeimei.

On the selected day, Mrs. Cheng put on a dress and crown and entered the Daming Palace.

According to the etiquette system, she first went to the Zichen Hall to greet the emperor.

Then, he followed the maid to the Qingsi Palace.

"Girl, please wait a minute, before seeing the emperor, let's go and say hello to the queen first."

When Mrs. Cheng saw the maid and took her straight to the Qingsi Palace, she called the maid and said with a smile.

The maid replied with a smile: "The queen's mother is not in good health, and now she is closed and does not receive the wife." The affairs of the harem have always been handled by Concubine Chen. Niangniang happens to be in Qingsi Hall now, so Madame will come directly to Qingsi Palace, and save a lot of travel. ”

Receiving the wife is an honor that only a queen has.

Mrs. Cheng went through two dynasties, and when she heard these words, she immediately understood in her heart, and then smiled softly, and then raised her feet and entered the Qingsi Palace.

The Shanggong Bureau has just sent a wedding dress over, which is very luxurious, and the gold and silver threads are embroidered into flowers, grasses, fish, birds, mountains and rivers, decorated with various colored pearls, which reflect the bright light in the sun.

Concubine Chen looked at the wedding dress and couldn't help but admire: "This gold and silver thread is split and opened, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the effect is very good, you see, how delicate." ”

She said as she brushed her fingers over the embroidery on her wedding dress.

Shen Yan followed her gaze, nodded as well, and said, "It's really good, although I'm not proficient in female red, I also think it's exquisite." ”

"What an outsider says is the most pertinent."

Concubine Chen blinked and teased.

At this time, Xin'er and Mrs. Cheng just came to the Qingsi Palace.

As soon as she came in, Shen Yan put away her smile and got up.

Mrs. Cheng is the first lady of the first emperor's personal title, and her qualifications are all on the top, even if Shen Yan is a king, she can't sit on the seat and receive her salute directly.

"The courtiers have seen Concubine Chen, and they have seen the emperor."

Her hair is black and white, she combs her hair in a bun, wears a glazed jade crown, has a soft smile on her face, and the temperament of the years precipitated by her body is reassuring.

"Mrs. Cheng doesn't have to be polite, hurry up, Xiaoxing, prepare refreshments for Mrs. Cheng."

Shen Yan stepped forward to support Mrs. Cheng and said to Xiaoxing.

After the three of them were settled, Concubine Chen said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mrs. Cheng has more demeanor than before." ”

"The courtier's face is getting old, and it's rare that Concubine Chen still remembers it for so many years."

Mrs. Cheng put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile.

She left traces of time on her face, but she still couldn't hide her inner tenderness, and when she smiled, it made people feel as soft as a spring breeze.

"Lu Siji, bring the wedding dress to Mrs. Cheng to see."

Lu Si got Concubine Chen's order, took the wedding dress held by the female Shi behind him, and walked to Mrs. Cheng to salute.

Mrs. Cheng bowed to the two superiors, and then got up and stood up.

She looked at the wedding dress in front of her, nodded with a light smile, and said, "This wedding dress, if the courtiers are not mistaken, it is an alternative one for the emperor's wedding." ”

Shen Yan was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Cheng, waiting for the following.

"According to the etiquette system, there will be many sets of dresses for the emperor's wedding, for the emperor to choose. The courtiers also used to embroider the queen's wedding dress, so they had seen the paper patterns of other alternative wedding dresses. ”

Mrs. Cheng patiently explained.

How can the emperor's wedding dress be used in the queen's ceremony?

Concubine Chen looked at Lu Siji, her eyes were flat and cold, and she was slightly reproachful.

Lu Sizhi looked at Concubine Chen and hurriedly explained: "The minister was originally looking for the paper pattern of the wedding dress of the emperor of the previous dynasty in the treasury, thinking of learning one or two. When I saw the paper pattern of this wedding dress, I thought it was good, so I used it. The minister has changed the sun, moon and stars. ”

The sun, moon and stars symbolize imperial power, and only the emperor's dress can be used.

She's lazy, but she's a bit measured.

Concubine Chen's eyes were faint, and she just smiled and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Mrs. Cheng really has a good memory, how many years ago did the emperor's wedding, do you still remember the paper pattern of this alternative wedding dress." ”

"This wedding dress embroidered all things, the sun, moon and stars, and decorated with treasures, and was skillfully drawn by the Zhong Si system at that time, although it was only an alternative in the end, and it was difficult for the courtiers to forget it after seeing it."

Zhong Si system, which is the later Zhong Shang Palace, Zhong Cui, has now been expelled from the palace and was banned by Wang Huanzhi.

After listening to the words of several people, Shen Yan blew a puff of tea cigarette and said lightly: "I am very satisfied with this wedding dress." As for using the paper pattern that was selected for the queen's wedding, I think as long as he is the emperor's brother, he will definitely agree. ”

The paper pattern of the emperor's wedding dress is designed in accordance with the queen's regulations, even if the Lu Si system has changed some of the parts that are out of order, but the whole is still very gorgeous.

Shen Yan knew, but he didn't plan to abandon it.

Mrs. Cheng thought of the things in the palace, and only felt that the emperor's life was very different from the past, she couldn't say more, so she just smiled and said, "The emperor is right." ”

"Which piece does the emperor want the courtiers to embroider?"

She asked, pointing to the wedding dress in Lu Si's hand.

Concubine Chen smiled at this time and said, "There is still a petal left on this wedding dress that has not been embroidered, so it will bother Mrs. Cheng." ”

"It is a blessing for a courtier to be able to embroider a wedding dress for the emperor."

Mrs. Cheng said solemnly to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at the three people in front of him, and obviously felt Mrs. Cheng's indifference to Concubine Chen.

If it was on others, Concubine Chen's violent temper would have been sneering and sneering a hundred times, but now she obediently followed Mrs. Cheng's words.

"There is labor."

Shen Yan nodded with a smile and said.

After the three of them drank tea, Lu Siji led Mrs. Cheng to the Si Maker's room, prepared silk threads, and embroidered the last petal on the wedding dress for the emperor.

When Mrs. Cheng left, Shen Yan looked at Concubine Chen beside her and teased, "How did I not know that you saw Mrs. Cheng so well-behaved." ”

"She is a first-class lady, and she is of the same rank as my concubine. If it weren't for the difference between the monarch and the minister, it wouldn't be certain who saluted whom. ”

Concubine Chen said lightly, not caring about Shen Yan's ridicule at all.

"Queen, you are still scared, will you be afraid of Mrs. Cheng?"

Shen Yan seemed to hear some joke, the corners of his mouth curled, and he couldn't help but tease.

Concubine Chen looked at her gloating appearance, snorted coldly, and said with a little weakness: "I'm giving you face, after all, I want Mrs. Cheng to embroider a wedding dress for you." ”
