The Ministry of Rites agreed that the new emperor's year name was Chaorong.

On the summer day of the first year of Chaorong, the palace flag ordered the marquis to be the marriage envoy, and the queen made the phoenix enter the palace of Rongjun and welcome me into the palace.

At the same time, I was pulled up from the warm quilt by Guan Ju and Pu Jia. Seeing that I was dark and green right now, the two girls were also energetic, and without saying anything, they pressed me into the bathtub, which was almost half asleep.

I choked on a big mouthful of water, fluttered to my feet, and screamed in my hoarse early morning voice, "I'm going to die!" What are you doing... If you want to kill me, you can't do it! ”

Guan Juwei screamed and slapped me on the back again and again: "Bah, it's a good day to enter the palace, saying such unlucky words will bring bad luck!" ”

I was forced to make a symbolic spit into the barrel, my mind still distant. Pu Jia was afraid that I would get up this morning with edema, so she only gave me a bowl of barley and red bean porridge last night and hurriedly put me to bed. However, I was so excited that I could sleep anywhere, and my eyes were wide like brass bells, until I didn't know when I finally couldn't hold it anymore and lost consciousness.

And it should be less than an hour before I was dragged out of bed by Guan Ju and Pu Jia when I fell asleep......

"Fortunately, hot water was prepared in the middle of the night, and it was not so swollen after soaking." Pu Jia picked my cheeks, and looked at it carefully, her movements were rude like never before, "But why are these eyes so green, girl, did you run out to duel with someone last night-Guan Ju, quickly bring the pearl powder!" ”

"It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, can he still marry me..."I was still sleepy, looking at the battle of Pu Jia rolling up her sleeves, but I was also a little timid, and said timidly: "What time is this, shouldn't you be in a hurry to put on makeup, let's eat something, okay?" ”

"My girl, when are you still thinking about eating!" Guan Ju pointed to the dark day outside the window when the sun had not risen, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet again and again, "The embroidered clothes made by the priest room for the girl according to Zhaoyi's position have been changed several times, and the emperor is not satisfied, and finally it was agreed that the little eunuch should be sent over earlier on the wedding day. This emperor is also... How can the embroidered clothes for the wedding be delivered on the same day? ”

"Xu is the emperor's ingenuity, I want to surprise our girl." Pu Jia said, and the hand that fluttered the incense powder for me did not stop, "Didn't the emperor send ten grandmothers to the house to teach the rules and serve and freshen up, you go and call them all up, come and see if my makeup is in order." ”

Guan Ju ran out with a cigarette, I opened my eyes and smiled and stroked Pu Jia's serious face, "You are a thoughtful person, why bother asking Guan Ju to find those mothers-in-law from the palace?" I have been in the room every day for the past two days, and I am afraid of them......"

"Forget about the days on the side, today is not a single point of rules. Even if you walk a meal, an eye makeup, or a single hair, you can't go wrong! Pu Jia still frowned, "You haven't listened to the gossip of the grandmothers, how many ministers of the court and the central government have been offended by Your Majesty in order to welcome the girl into the palace these days......"

I was puzzled: "The palace banner welcomed me into the palace, and it was not the queen's Zhongfu Palace, what is the matter with the ministers?" ”

"The girl doesn't know that the emperor loves you, insists on holding a grand wedding, and even ordered the marquis of Li, who is the marriage envoy, to take you to the imperial tomb in the back mountain to see the ancestors of the Zhuchun family. Unless the emperor and queen get married, there can be no such regulations when ordinary concubines enter the palace. ”

"To the back mountain? I haven't heard of another such one. ”

"Not only that, not to mention the royal marriage, even ordinary people also have the custom of matchmaking and six ceremonies, but the emperor is eager to welcome you into the palace, regardless of the fact that the emperor's mourning period has not passed, and the Ministry of Rites is forced to choose a recent day, and the customs are all exempted. That's it, the excerpts of the old ministers of the Ministry of Rites have already piled up in the Xuangong Palace! ”

"It's... Nobody told me. ”

"What's more, since the emperor ascended the throne, many ministers have wanted to stuff their school-age daughters into the harem, but the emperor has rejected them one by one. Isn't this a more serious matter, you say, than offending the ministers of the Ministry of Rites? ”

I was stunned for a long time before moistening my eyes: "What does he have if he accepts those girls, and he has me in his heart, so why bother doing these things for me......"

"The emperor will naturally do everything for the sake of the girl. The slave maid is afraid of ruining the emperor's mind, so she is so cautious, for fear that something will go wrong today. ”

I was caught off guard and scratched Pu Jia's waist: "Okay, you little girl, before you enter the palace with me, your heart has begun to turn towards the emperor!" It's good for me to read this sentence to him, and I can't wait for him to ask for some rewards! ”

Before he could talk about the rules that had been repeated countless times by them, a clear shout came from outside the courtyard.

"Is Niang Niang here?"

When Guan Jujia heard the sound, she hurriedly put on a cloak for me and helped me to the bottom of the porch. But I saw that the person who came was a small eunuch with a delicate face, not tall, with a fair complexion, although he was quite young, but he led a group of palace people behind him, and he looked very well-behaved.

The little eunuch's name was Lomon, and I had met him before. Don't look at his young age, but now he is the chief eunuch of the Xuangong Palace, and he follows the palace banner to serve closely. Five days ago, he went to Taopinlou with his will and informed me to return to the palace of Rongjun immediately and wait for the wedding gift five days later.

"I've seen Grandpa Luo," I blessed Fudao, "Palace... There are few people around the emperor to serve, why did the father-in-law come out of the palace? ”

Lomont smiled modestly and joyfully, and when he saw that I asked a question, he didn't answer, but only said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty has a will." ”

When everyone in the room heard this, they hurriedly walked out of the room and knelt down with me behind me. Lomont was meticulous, and waited until everyone knelt down and bowed their heads, before he unfolded the holy decree without hesitation, and said loudly:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Lihou Yinu even returned to the firefly, and I married in a small time, pure and straightforward sex, restrained and gentle, beautiful and good-looking, and Zhao Jiade. Today, he inherits the mandate of heaven, and he is the imperial concubine, entering the Yao Palace at night, involving all the affairs of the six palaces, and the position is attached to the queen, accompanied by me, and he is here. ”

Everyone seemed to be stunned, but it was Lomont who coughed softly, and everyone suddenly came back to their senses and fell down in unison.

"Concubines obey the holy commandment."

Gong Wan did not confer on me as Zhaoyi according to the wishes of the marquis and the courtiers, but... Did you seal the imperial concubine?

"Congratulations to the imperial concubine!" When Luo Meng waited for Guan Ju to receive the holy decree, Fang smiled again and bowed to me again and again: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent them from obstructing it, specially saved this decree to the end. Even the embroidered clothes made by the imperial concubine were sewn by the order of the division room overnight. Your Majesty's intentions, I hope Niangniang understands it! ”

I burst into tears, and I just nodded my head over the silk, but I didn't know what to say.

"Our mother is so happy that she is confused, my father-in-law forgive me." Guan Ju supported me on one wall and smiled at Lomon, "There is freshly brewed hot tea in the house, and my father-in-law has worked hard to announce his decree, come in and drink a drink!" ”

"Miss Xie's kindness, this room was sent to the embroidered clothes, and the slave had to personally send the mother's book treasure to Yeyao Palace. The palace is busy with banquets, and there is no one around Your Majesty to take care of it, so I have to go back quickly. Luo Meng smiled softly at Guan Ju, "After entering the palace, everyone will serve the master together, but I'm afraid that we can't drink a cup of tea together?" ”

The two of them laughed a few more words, and Guan Ju sent Luo Meng out of the house. Pu Jia and I returned to the room, and the grandmothers carefully unfolded the embroidered clothes that they had just received, and the bright luster of the gold and silver threads instantly illuminated the whole room.

It is the grandmother who has been in the palace for many years, and when she saw the brocade robe of the eight-treasure satin embroidered phoenix wearing peony at this moment, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly like me and look dumbfounded - the palace flag, this special wedding dress for me is too luxurious, the agate tourmaline is adorned with countless beads, and the golden silk phoenix embroidered on the silver thread white peony is dazzling, and it is a pattern that cannot be used by the queen.

Seeing that the grandmothers gradually came back to their senses, Pu Jia looked at the phoenix a little sideways, and hurriedly said to me: "Your Majesty favors the mother alone, and there are no other women in the palace except the imperial concubine." Niangniang, you are now attached to the same position, and in the future, you can never want your mother to honor the world, so that you can set an example for Your Majesty as a woman in the world! ”

I immediately understood, smiled and nodded. And the grandmothers listened to Pu Jia's words, even though there were thousands of rules of etiquette, they had to swallow it back when they came to their mouths, all of them lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and carefully put on the embroidered clothes for me, without the slightest contempt posture these days.

The national style is simple and rough, and this dress is so heavy and cumbersome. The last shawl was draped, and the outside was already bright. Karju is located in the north, although it is only the beginning of summer in April, the sun is very hot and humid when the sun comes out. Pu Jia had already prepared, and when she saw the sweat on my forehead oozing thinly, she asked someone to bring in the ice she had prepared earlier.

"This dress is really amazing, to say the least, it weighs ten pounds." I fanned myself again and again, looked at the gilded phoenix crown that I hadn't yet put on, and said desperately, "If I wear that piece of gold again, how can I stand up, how can I walk into the palace......"

"Niangniang forgot, before entering the palace, the Hou Ye will take you to the Houshan Imperial Mausoleum." Pu Jia is meticulous on weekdays, and the effect is really good when she jokes, "But the slave maid has never seen this style of clothes, I think His Majesty specially asked the priest to make such a strange set of clothes in order to set off his relationship with you." ”

"Miss Pujia doesn't know, this is the style of the Southern Desert. Since the first emperor, Dacheng has paid attention to the Central Plains etiquette culture, and now the masters in the palace have also made such complicated auspicious clothes. ”

Mama tightened the 100-turn wishful knot on my back, and it was finally tied. Seeing that I was a little suffocated, I smiled apologetically: "The emperor treats each other with such grand etiquette, which shows the deep affection for the mother!" ”

I smiled a little awkwardly, and I didn't know what to say, but I saw Guan Ju push the door in, still with a smile on his face, standing beside me.

"Yo... I sent a trip to Grandpa Luo, and I was in a good mood. I teased, "It's been so long since this trip, dare you go to drink tea with others?" ”
