Chapter 23: Chinese New Year's Eve Ceremony

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the weather turned out to be warm, and the windrobe prepared in advance was not used.

Qingchi stood under the eaves, looking at the melting ice and snow, and was stunned.

"Boss, why are you still here in a daze, today is not enough for you to be busy?" A man's clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Why are you here again, didn't you say okay, don't come to the palace when you're fine." Qingchi saw that it was Hua Shao, and deliberately made an estranged look.

"Naturally, there is something, can I not come on such a day?"

Kiyochi looked around, "Nijo Division has a case to handle?" ”

Hua Shao made a silent gesture, "Shhh ”

After a few turns, the two disappeared behind the rockery, leaving only the parrot on the porch, chirping there, as if shouting the chief manager, the chief manager.

In the Qiyun Palace, Concubine Shu had already finished her makeup, and because of the good weather, she put aside the fur fur she had prepared earlier.

"It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to wear this fur fur."

The palace maid next to her joked, "If the concubine wants to wear it, we can just play a fan next to us." ”

"How can there be such rules, if the Queen Mother sees it, I don't know how to say that I, a countryman, have no knowledge."

The palace maid with slender eyebrows sneered when she heard this, Concubine Shu has a good temper and often jokes with everyone, but it is indeed a bit inappropriate to say such things today.

At this time, Yu Xi came to visit, saw the fur fur resting on the side, and also stepped forward and said: "If the concubine likes it, I will accompany the concubine to the Fengming Mountain another day."

The terrain in the mountains is high, and the snow has not disappeared here, so it's just right to wear this fur. ”

"Yuxi is here, you see that the weather is really strange this year, and it will be warm like this at this time."

"If you go back to the concubine, when the Enjiang River floods in the summer, you know that this year is not so peaceful.

However, please relax your heart, after this year's festival, God will definitely bless us in the Great Zhou, and next year will be smooth and rainy. ”

Concubine Shu smiled, "It's still Yuxi who is sensible, if the emperor sees you, he will definitely like it." ”

Yu Xi smiled gently, and walked towards the main hall with Concubine Shu in her arms.

Before Concubine Shu got up, she glanced at the fur again, and said that spring was coming so soon.

The ceremony of the Chinese New Year's Eve is very solemn, and last year there was a shortage of soldiers, and this year it will all be made up.

The Queen Mother set an example first, and Shoukang Palace did a full rehearsal the day before, and the concubines who were recommended had never seen such a scene.

Fortunately, there was a prior guidance and training, which looked thoughtful and solemn.

The emperor was very satisfied with it, and admired the queen mother in his heart, the woman of the family is indeed outstanding in demeanor, and against the backdrop of these young concubines, she is not inferior.

He casually praised Jing Yun next to him, "The Queen Mother is indeed thoughtful." ”

Jing Yun arched his hand upward, showing his respect for the Queen Mother, and seconded: "The Queen Mother is an astrological family, and she has been familiar with various ceremonies since she was a child, and she also helped the first emperor prepare Si Tiantai.

Since then, Qin Tianjian has become a royal soothsayer. ”

Ji Fansheng thought to himself, Empress Dowager Jiang was not only from a family of astrology, but also prepared Si Tiantai, this is really the first time I have heard of this.

"Oh, Qin Tianjian, isn't that Bai Heng a relative of her clan?"

Jing Yun waved his hand lightly, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, the Queen Mother's surname is Jiang." However, Bai Heng is not an outsider, his uncle Bai Chun and the Queen Mother are brothers and sisters. ”

"Oh, this astrology family is really mysterious, so Master Jiang can also use the art of stargazing?" The emperor remembered the Jiang scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

"Bachelor Jiang? That old Dongbai in Hanlin Academy? He doesn't understand, but his knowledge is the best. ”

At this time, I listened to the celebrant and sang a congratulatory speech.

The emperor then stepped forward to burn incense and pray, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and made a great bow.

The Queen Mother nodded frequently on the side, and Concubine Shu was overjoyed to see that her son was now also experienced in the demeanor of a big man, and her smile made the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes increase.

After the ceremony, the emperor issued an edict to canonize the beauty.

Compared with the solemnity of the Chinese New Year's Eve celebration, the ceremony of canonizing the beauty is much more sparse. However, a few ceremonial officials read out the holy decree, and the beauties of each palace took the edict and thanked them and went back.

Although the beauties of each palace have not been summoned alone, they have been blessed by heaven, and they are all grateful.

Only Yuji looked at the edict and was a little unhappy.

Shuyuan, who is also a female official of the fifth grade in the harem, is neither high nor low, and is worthy of her family background. But before he was called, he was given the title, which shows that the emperor really didn't care much about the harem.

Only one Lu Cairen was passed on to the emperor, saying that he wanted to relieve his boredom after dinner, and called Lu Cairen to play the pipa.

Everyone else went back to the palace separately, but this Lu Cairen happily went back to dress up for a long time, and then hugged her pipa and went to the Guande Palace.

After a meal, I saw that Lu Cairen came back in disgrace, and the color on his face was very gray.

I don't know how I touched the mold, but I wasn't left to sleep. Lu Cairen was originally happy to think that he had taken the lead, but he didn't expect to wait for such humiliation.

Other beauties watched this scene, some laughed out loud, some pretended to be kind and comforting, and some were narrow-minded and specially picked ugly words to provoke. In short, they relied on their good family background, and their relatives were all big officials in the court, so they had fun wantonly.

Lu Cairen ignored everyone and went back to his Chaoxian Pavilion.

This Lu Cairen is the daughter of a six-rank petty official, and in terms of family background, she is really very small in the palace. She also knew that her father, the official of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government, was still bought after careful study, and she didn't dare to publicize her family background.

But Lu Cairen has a specialty, that is, standing in the crowd is particularly eye-catching, and she is not a beautiful beauty alone, but it is very strange, as long as she stands with other people, people can only notice her.

Moreover, she plays the pipa well and can also play the guzheng, and the emperor had heard her piano sound long before the summons.

When the emperor stopped, Qing Chi also listened to it for a while, only to feel that the wonderful sound was in his ears, which was really a rare enjoyment.

At that time, Jing Yun was also accompanying him, and the emperor looked at him and asked, "Jing Yun, what do you think of the sound of this piano?" ”

"Ah, Your Majesty can like it, and you don't need to ask your subordinates what they mean." Jingyun seemed to be absent-minded, and just replied casually.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly woke up, "Yes, yes, you don't need to ask your subordinates." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the Hall of Virtue."

The emperor did not stay that day, but wrote down the name of Lu Cairen of Chaoxian Pavilion.

At the end of the canonization today, I saw her beautiful figure in the crowd, and immediately called for luck.

But when Lu Cairen came with the pipa, he suddenly became a little excited.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, where is Ruoshui at this time?

He had thousands of questions in his heart, but he didn't even have a person to talk to.
