For several days, Liuli was busy outside, sometimes going to the Rouge Pavilion to see the newly made lipstick, sometimes going to the restaurant to see the progress of the decoration, and sometimes in Feihongju, helping to improve the dishes.

The opening dates of Fei Hung Ju and the new Rouge Pavilion have been set, one on the fifth day of February and the other on the tenth day of February.

And according to the day of their departure, it is estimated that it will be time to go to Beijing, even if they can't catch up with the opening of Feihongju, they can still participate in the Rouge Pavilion in time.

Liuli is beautiful, and she is looking forward to receiving her big sister and participating in the opening ceremony together.

Unexpectedly, before this, someone came to the palace, and there was also the will, Zhao Mingxu's holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zhenyuan's sister Song, gentle and virtuous, temperamental and soft, canonized as a concubine, titled 'Qing', given to live in Biluozhai, entered on the fifth day of the first month of February, and admired this."

"The people's daughter takes the order, thank you Lord Longen."

Ace hasn't come back yet, everyone in the Xiao Mansion who received the order was dumbfounded, and they had never heard of a lady who was canonized as a concubine, and this canonized was still the new Miss Xiao Mansion who had just been found today and didn't live for a few days?

From this point of view, this young lady believes that her ancestors are fake, and it is true to raise her identity through the name of Xiao Mansion, and then think about the people who are waiting around her, this is obviously a play sung by the commander of her own family with the emperor.

The old housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion was the first to react, beckoning the eunuch who announced the decree to go to the front hall to drink tea, and also prepare the silver for the reward.

Liuli took the will, and went back to her room, she didn't expect the will to come so quickly, while the dust settled, there was a little loss, and the fifth day of the second month was going to enter the palace, then she must not be able to participate in the opening ceremony of Feihongju, I only hope that my sister can arrive before this, and meet with herself.

Zhiya and Zhitao received their will, and they were only excited, this is a concubine, their girl is really a blockbuster.

Taking out the silver, Liuli said to Zhi Tao: "Don't be stupid, take this and send it quietly to Steward Xiao, and wait for the father-in-law who will make some announcements." ”

Zhi Tao then remembered, don't look at the scenery on the surface of this Xiao Great Commander's Mansion, in fact, there is really something ...... inside Shabby.

Although the Xiao Mansion is a first-class prince's mansion, but it has been in decay for so many years, and the family background is long gone, and Ace's little silver salary to take care of the Xiao Mansion is already a little weak, if it is not for Zhao Mingxu's private reward, I am afraid that he will not even be able to maintain the basic face.

With the two of them acting, Liuli naturally has no reason to ask Ace to break the fee.

Zhi Tao took the silver and agreed happily: "Hey, the slave will send it." ”

After leaving the palace in the past few days and seeing the girl's skills, she realized why the girl was so generous in the palace, originally they thought it was rewarded by His Majesty, but now they know that it was all earned by their girls themselves.

Watching Zhi Tao go out with the silver, Zhiya was uneasy: "Concubine, Your Majesty directly sealed your concubine position and gave you the title, girl, the slave is really, really happy!" ”

The title was set a long time ago, Liuli was not surprised, but directly sealed the concubine, which made her a little surprised: "I didn't expect him to plan like this, but will it be a little too high-profile?" ”

"What are the girls afraid of, there is Your Majesty", Zhiya accepted it the fastest, "In the future in the palace, except for the Queen Mother, you are the biggest, you no longer have to hide from that concubine, and when you meet in the future, she will also give the girl a salute." ”

Liuli was a little helpless, she avoided Shushen, not because she was afraid of giving her a salute, but monogamy or something, she couldn't understand it.

At noon, Ace finally came back from the palace, and Liuli couldn't wait to ask about the current situation: "Why is it so fast, and it is canonized when you say it." ”

Ah Ce smiled: "This is also thanks to Lord Jia Yuanjia." ”

These days, Jia Yuan's wife often walks around the Zhongshun Palace, and Jia Yuan has not contacted the courtiers to persuade His Majesty to expand the harem, using high-sounding reasons such as extending the heirs and continuing the royal century-old foundation.

Some families have school-age female dependents, and those who follow Jia Yuan with the same thoughts naturally agree; Some were really persuaded by these great truths and urged the emperor to draft the queen.

For a time, the courtiers played, and Zhao Mingxu used the royal private affairs as an excuse to prevaricate every time.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, if you are an ordinary person, marrying a wife and having children is naturally a private matter, but Your Majesty is responsible for the society of the country, and only by extending the heirs can there be successors, and the minister is willing to ask Your Majesty to think twice." Jia Yuan's words fell, and the ministers echoed: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

It's all about coaxing, Zhao Mingxu secretly said in his heart, after so many days of seesawing, it is estimated that he is about to reach the limit. On his face, he was quite impatient: "All Aiqing are fine, staring at the little thing in my harem all day long." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also thinking about the emperor, and I also ask Your Majesty to listen to the advice of the ministers, enrich the harem as soon as possible, and make the queen the right way, Your Majesty." Jia Yuan said sincerely.

"Is it because I don't choose the harem, you won't give up?" Zhao Mingxu asked compassionately.

"Your Majesty is begged to think twice." The ministers shouted.

"Okay, since you are so anxious to give me a queen", Zhao Mingxu said as if he had broken the jar, "Ace, didn't you just find a sister a few days ago?" Approaching the palace tomorrow, how about being crowned queen? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and Jia Yuan was even more confused, they were so energetic these days, Commander Xiao didn't even make a sound, why did His Majesty suddenly point the finger at him?

Wrong! Where is this spearhead, it's clearly a big pie.

"Your Majesty, this ...... Is it too hasty to just stand up like this? Jia Yuan said tremblingly.

"Didn't you persuade me as soon as possible?" Zhao Mingxu rebelled against the first army.

"The minister did persuade the emperor as soon as possible, but it is not a trivial matter after the establishment, and His Majesty still needs to be carefully selected one by one." Jia Yuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said.

"According to Taifu's intentions, how should I choose?" Zhao Mingxu asked.

"This ......" Jia Yuan turned to the Ministry of Rites and said, "Lord Li, you are the Ministry of Rites, and the specific selection must be clearer." ”

Li Xuewen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, scolded in his heart, but replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the etiquette system, women of appropriate age from each family should be selected, and they should be selected from the family background, virtue, and appearance. ”

"If it is a woman with the right age, family background, virtue, and appearance, who will be the queen, is it up to me?" Zhao Mingxu then asked.

"It is all up to Your Majesty's Divine Judgment." Li Xuewen said respectfully.

"Okay", Zhao Mingxu nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Ah Ce and said, "Commander Xiao, I don't know how old your little sister is?" How does it look? Can you allow someone? ”

A Ce said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the little sister is eighteen years old, and her appearance is not first-class, but she is also beautiful and outstanding, and she has never been married to others." ”

"That being the case, it is in line with what Master Li said, and there is nothing wrong with canonizing it later." Zhao Mingxu said, looking at this posture, it actually has the meaning of immediately preparing the purpose.

Jia Yuan was anxious, did he have to cheapen others after his hard work for several days: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Zhao Mingxu took a good time, "Taifu thinks that the young lady of the Grand Commander's Mansion has a lack of family background?" ”

"Naturally not, the Grand Commander's Mansion is a first-class family." Jia Yuan also knew that he was a little reckless in what he said, but if he didn't speak at this time, he was afraid that the queen's throne would really fall into the hands of others.

At this time, he didn't care to think about it, why Commander Xiao sang and harmonized with the emperor and made such a deed. I had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, it is a major matter of the country after the establishment, how can it be decided with just a few words, and it should be ......."

"So, Taifu doesn't believe what Commander Xiao said, and thinks that Ah Ce deceived me?!" Zhao Mingxu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted, "Or rather, Taifu actually has a candidate in his heart, so he did everything possible to obstruct me from establishing Miss Xiao Mansion." ”

In the end, it was a very sharp tone.

Jia Yuan bowed down with a puff: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister never dare." ”

Zhao Mingxu ignored him and glanced at the ministers coldly: "What about you, but you all have such thoughts?" ”

Brushing Lala, the ministers knelt down in a large area, and tremblingly pleaded guilty: "The ministers will never dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Zhao Mingxu snorted coldly: "It is you who said that you should stand up as soon as possible, I heard that you want to stand up, and it is you who are still blocking it, if it is not for the selection of people in my heart, why is it so inconsistent?" ”

The ministers were speechless, and they didn't dare to speak if they really had this idea, and the pure people secretly shouted that they were wronged, and they didn't dare to speak.

At this time, it was still the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who opened his mouth tremblingly: "Holy Lord, it is not that the ministers and others do not want Miss Xiaofu to be crowned, but it is a little too hasty to act in accordance with etiquette like this." ”

This person is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Mingxu knows very well that there is no school-age woman in his family, and he has to mix it purely out of the righteousness of etiquette, so his face is slightly better for this person: "Li Aiqing is flat." ”

"I know that some of you are also sincere for me, but the matter of the harem, in the final analysis, is still my family background, whether to register the concubine, who is the concubine, it is all my will, I don't want to use the harem to stabilize any power, nor do I want to seal a group of warblers Yanyan." Zhao Mingxu said quite seriously, "You keep saying that there are successors for the sake of the country, but I am twenty-eight years old this year, are you still afraid that you will not have children in the future?" And you said that you are so looking forward to my death, so that you can give birth to an heir as soon as possible? ”

When the words fell, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who had stood up tremblingly, knelt down again, "Your Majesty, if the ministers have this heart, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and they will not die well, Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, if the ministers have this heart, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and they will not die well." The ministers grabbed the ground with their heads and repeated.

In winter, the hall was cold, but everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

I always thought that this emperor was merciful, and since he ascended the throne, one was a gentle policy, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thunderous anger, it was they who forgot that the person who could sit in that seat was the emperor no matter how merciful he was, and the emperor who held the power of life and death.

Zhao Mingxu paused for a while before he slowly spoke: "It's okay if you don't have it, let's calm down." ”

Everyone secretly looked left and right, and saw that their colleagues got up, so they got up with them, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhao Mingxu was very satisfied with this effect: "Today's matter, I hope it is the last time, if the ministers have energy, it is better to think about the strategy of the people through the world, since ancient times, there is no one who has been famous for centuries because of meddling in the emperor's family affairs." ”

"Your Majesty will follow your majesty's teachings." The ministers are as well-behaved as quails.

Zhao Mingxu nodded, and Han Cheng had enough, so he gave sweet dates again: "But what Zhongqing said also has some truth, and now there is only one concubine in my harem, which is indeed less." Since we talked about the young lady of the Xiao Mansion......"

Zhao Mingxu paused, admired Jia Yuan Tieqing's face intently, and said happily: "It's a little hasty to be in the future, so let's seal a concubine and choose an auspicious day to bring you into the palace." ”

"Your Majesty." This combination of grace and power, no one in the group dared to object.

After Ah Ce finished speaking, Liuli smiled from ear to ear, I really didn't expect that person to have such a cunning side, not to mention the group of ministers who were playing, and naturally achieved his goal, canonizing a new woman who entered the palace as a concubine, and making the ministers feel that the emperor had compromised.

"What if Jia Yuan finds out?" Ruri asked.

"The timing of the two things is so coincidental, I'm afraid that Lord Jia has already noticed it", Aze said, "But even if you notice it, both things are justified, and no one can say anything." ”

Liuli nodded, her heart was really smart.

On the second day of the decree, the rewards in the palace came in an endless stream, clothes and jewelry, and the people who gave the rewards came one after another, like a dowry.

The elegant peach waits for the glass trial canonization dress, the red auspicious dress is complex and gorgeous, and it is very suitable to wear on the glass body.

"Look, this dress is all red, it doesn't look like a bride getting married." Zhi Tao smiled, this is a righteous mother, and they can't change their words more smoothly.

Liuli looked at her red clothes, but she really looked like a bride, and then she realized that she was really going to marry that person?

This dress is so suitable, and I don't know when he started to prepare it quietly, Liuli is sweet in her heart.

On the third day, the palace sent a grandmother to tell Liuli about the canonization ceremony and the rules of the bed.

This is really going to bed, Liuli has never eaten pork in her previous life, but she has also seen pigs run, she has long understood what Mama said, but she listened to Zhiya's face red, and she refused to see anyone all day.

Everything was prepared in an orderly manner, although the time was tight, it was not busy at all, and the day of entering the palace was slowly approaching.

Originally, it was just going back, and the corners of the palace had been visited, so it could be said that it was not strange at all, but inexplicably, it was a little nervous.

Maybe it's because of this return, the relationship between the two will completely change, and she is going to marry him.

On the fourth day of the second lunar month, the day before entering the palace, the pearls finally arrived, and Liuli thought that they would not be able to catch up, but they didn't expect the family to come.

A large group of people from the Song family came directly to the Xiao Commander's Mansion, and Liuli was overjoyed when she saw everyone: "Big sister, you are really here, I thought I couldn't catch up." ”

Pearl hugged Liuli tightly, and her eyes turned red with a smile: "My Liuli is about to get married, how can my sister not come?" ”

Liuli was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
