Chapter 116: The Empress Dowager of Thanksgiving (2/4)
The Baohe Hall has always been a place of canonization, the queen and the prince are sealed in the main hall, the imperial concubine is sealed in the east side hall, and the concubines and concubines are in the west side hall.
Yao Jiaxin walked into the west hall with a straight and slow step.
This time, her envoy to the concubine was a very famous figure in history - Fucha Li Rongbao. Of course, now his current official position is only a fourth-grade Taifu Temple Shaoqing, and the only commendable place is that Ma Qi, the current great scholar of the extremely human minister, is his second brother, and the age gap between the two brothers is enough to be father and son.
The canonization deputy envoy who surprised Yao Jiaxin even more was a person who was deeply impressed in his memory, to be precise, a person who had a deep memory of the former master. In that memory, this person was originally a handsome young man, but now he is much taller and more mature.
This person is Yao Wenzhuo, Yao Jia Xin's half-brother.
The matter of choosing Yao Wenzhuo as the deputy envoy of the canonization, His Majesty the Fourth Master told her a few days ago, and for this reason, His Majesty the Fourth Master also promoted Wen Zhuo to the head of the six products of the Ministry of Rites - higher than her position of the late Ama Yao Wu'an. Although the head of the Ministry of Rites is not a prominent position, Wen Zhuo was promoted from a little-known non-grade clerk to a sixth-grade director, and the span of this upgrade is really not small!
Yao Jiaxin understands the mind of His Majesty the Fourth Master, her maternal family is in decline, so she needs to be promoted so deliberately.
Otherwise, Wen Zhuo is afraid that he may not be able to get into this position for the rest of his life!
The fourth master is really great to her.
You must know that Concubine Qi gave birth to so many children, and her father was just a five-grade prefect.
Yao Jiaxin stepped forward step by step, knelt upright on the futon, and listened to the holy decree.
Li Rongbao is young and strong, and he looks very good, but he can be said to be a mature and beautiful man with a lofty instrument, and he also exudes an elegant atmosphere. I saw him unfold the yellow silk and read it in a straight voice: "I only start to transform Xuanxuan, and rely on the position of Zanxiang......"
Ya's canonization is like a book from heaven, Yao Jiaxin doesn't understand it at all, she only knows that these are all words praising her.
"Yao Jia, a noble scholar, is gentle and dignified. Rin rules in the history of the picture, diligence and thrift......"
Yao Jiaxin blushed a little when she heard this, she was actually neither diligent nor thrifty.
Li Rongbao continued to read the holy decree in a frustrated manner: "Respect the Empress Dowager's mercy, take the canonization of Baofeng Er as a precious concubine, and only respect at that time, inherit the new Fang of Qingze, and benefit Maorou Jiayan Hongxu Yu Youyong, admiration!" ”
Hearing the word "Qinzai", Yao Jiaxin knew that the holy decree had been read, so she hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for the grace of the emperor and the queen mother!" ”
Then, she received the holy decree, the golden book, and the golden seal, and the canonization ceremony was over. It's just that you still need to go to Cining Palace to thank the Queen Mother afterwards.
It's been almost a year since I crossed over, and I'm finally going to see the Empress Dowager Xiaogongren.
However, people are not called filial piety and benevolence now, because this is the nickname, benevolence is the name of the holy ancestor Kangxi, and the queens of Kangxi will be crowned with this word after their deaths, and the word "filial piety" is the first word of the queen's name in the Qing Dynasty, and the word in the middle is exclusive to him.
The Queen Mother is still alive and healthy, so her old man's current title is the Queen Mother of Renshou.
The majestic and gorgeous Cining Palace is naturally far above the six palaces in the east and west. The yellow glazed tiles shine in the bright sunshine, the pattern of nine rooms makes the main hall of Cining Palace stand wide in front of you, in front of the hall is the clean and immaculate white marble platform, the gilt copper incense burner on the platform, the cigarette smoke curls at this moment, and the breath of Canaan incense is rich and mellow.
Yao Jiaxin came to Cining Palace for the first time, Su Yu helped her down her shoulders, and she carefully stepped on the white marble steps - although there were only three steps, but today she wore flowerpot bottom shoes, plus a heavy outfit, she was really afraid of falling.
The entire platform is shaded by the verandah in front of the main hall, although it does not shelter from the wind and rain, but at least the noon sun does not shine. This corridor also hangs this golden wire birdcage, the cage raises a skill-billed parrot, and there are two celadon giant vats that one person hugs, the jar raises golden osmanthus, it is already August now, the tree has been full of gilded osmanthus, but it is a pity that the fragrance of osmanthus is covered by the rich Canaanite incense, almost inaudible.
Yao Jiaxin waited outside the hall for a while, and then saw a gentle-faced old lady greet her, "The Queen Mother invites Concubine Yao into the palace." ”
Yao Jiaxin smiled and walked into the main hall with dignified steps, and the old lady led her directly into the secondary room on the east side.
I saw an old lady wearing a red tuanfu regular dress sitting on the throne of red sandalwood, with a dignified appearance, but not too serious, her eyebrows were very soft, her flag bun mixed with white hair was meticulously combed, and the red gold silk flying phoenix hairpin was embellished with sideburns, and she wore three pairs of Dongzhu earrings on her ears, revealing three points of luxury.
I want to know that this is the Queen Mother Wu Yashi who is at odds with His Majesty the Fourth Master's mother and son, the Queen Mother is more than fifty years old, but because of proper maintenance, the view is only forty, the Queen Mother's face is slightly plump, her complexion is ruddy, her eyebrows are elegant, and her eyes are bright. - If he is not beautiful, it is impossible for Kangxi to have so many cubs with Wu Ya's family.
Yao Jiaxin didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's face more, and after a slight glance, her eyes turned to the Queen Mother who was sitting on a rosewood official hat chair under the Queen Mother.
That's right, the queen is too! And she deliberately wore her queen's court dress. In the middle palace court clothes, the court robe is embroidered with bright yellow nine dragon patterns, this momentum is different all of a sudden, not to mention that the queen wears the red gold three-layer crown on her head, the crown is full of East Pearls, gemstones, surrounded by gold and phoenixes, and the end is gorgeous and dazzling!
Yao Jia was silent, she didn't expect the queen to come up with such a formation to deal with her a concubine who had just been canonized, she was a little moved.
Yao Jiaxin slandered her abdomen, and knelt down upright, "Concubine Yao Jiashi, see the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother live a long life!" As she spoke, she kowtowed deeply.
With Yao Jia's family coming in, the Queen Mother began to measure the newly sealed concubine. For the title of Zhen Concubine, it really surprised the Queen Mother for a while, to be honest, the Queen Mother felt a little resentful, her youngest son still needed to avoid homophones and different words, but the emperor gave the word "Zhen" to Yao Jia's!
But after thinking about it, what kind of character the emperor has, don't the mourning family still know? The desire of love is the desire of life and the desire of evil is death, Yao Jia's family is favored today, the natural scenery is infinite, and he will fall out of favor in the future...... Hmph, if she loses the emperor's protection, won't the queen eat her alive?
The Queen Mother looked at the emaciated woman kneeling on the ground, she was indeed quite colorful, and the rules and etiquette were quite dignified. The Queen Mother smiled gently, "Since you have been sealed as a concubine, you can be regarded as a serious master in the palace." ”
Yao Jiaxin complained: Those nobles who often promise are not serious masters......
However, the Queen Mother's voice was kind, and her speed of speech was slightly slow, giving people a very gentle feeling. Yao Jiaxin hurriedly kowtowed again: "Concubine thank the Queen Mother for her grace." After all, her concubine is nominally registered by the "Empress Dowager's Benevolence", so she doesn't come to thank her.
The Queen Mother said "um" and bowed slightly, "Let's be flat." ”
"Yes." Yao Jiaxin gently obeyed the voice, and then was helped up by Su Yu.
