Chapter 41: Promoted to the position of concubine
The palace maids and eunuchs have recently begun to travel back and forth between Changchun Palace and Yongshou Palace, and they have carried all of Jing Yu's belongings over, and Yueyao has gone there from time to time to take care of them, and they are now ready.
The canonization ceremony will be held above the concubine, and the day of canonization is approaching.
On this day, Jing Yu must get up early according to the etiquette procedure.
Neiluan honor guards were earlier, and they had already set up a guard of honor outside the gate of Yongshou Palace, spread blankets and futons in the courtyard, set up festival cases and incense cases, and placed a book case in the east of the square.
The outside furnishings are already available, but Jing Yu can only wait in the house in court clothes at this time.
When it came to the auspicious time, the chief and deputy envoys transported the gold book from the Xiehe Gate to the outside of the Jingyun Gate, and a minister of the official history in official uniform stood on the west side of the door, and awarded the festival to the inner supervisor, the inner supervisor held the festival, and the captain of the Neiluan honor guard carried the book to the palace gate, and then the inner supervisor held the gold book into the main hall where Jing Yu was.
At this time, Jing Yu began to follow the inner passage of the palace gate to the right side to greet him.
After the inner supervisor placed the golden book in the palace and withdrew, a female official dressed in full costume ushered Jingyu to the courtyard, knelt on the north side, and began to read the book.
Jing Yu received the gold book and performed six su, three kneeling and three bows before the ceremony was completed. This back and forth also took an afternoon.
There is also a series of trivial 'returning festivals' etiquette in the back, which is equivalent to wrapping up, and Jing Yu does not need to do it. The next thing to deal with is the continuous exchange of congratulations and congratulatory gifts sent one after another, and then prepare to go to the palace of the concubine, the queen mother, and the empress dowager tomorrow to perform six su, three kneels and three bows, and a series of complicated etiquette is really over.
Because the grade above her generally will not come in person, only send people to send congratulatory gifts, so that the people will not seem noisy and complicated, she only needs to politely greet and greet the nobles, the nobles and some of the constant, promise, talk to them, drink tea, and accept their salutes.
In addition, although Wei is pregnant, the mother of the main hall of his palace will be a concubine, and he will also be present in person.
She went back to sit for a while, took the hot tea handed over by Yueyao, and beckoned Wanliu Hashi and them to drink tea.
Since the "Imperial Doctor Liu" incident, Hazel, who has not shown up much, also came earlier than everyone else.
Jing Yu changed into a lucky dress.
When I first came to the Qing Dynasty, I felt cumbersome to wear civilian clothes, but now I have worn court clothes for less than half a day, and it is not in accordance with the rules to have one layer less, how to hang the beads, how to comb the head, and what are the accessories...... There can't be a single mistake, so that the auspicious clothes become a relaxed and comfortable thing, not to mention the light and close-fitting civilian robes.
Hazel went in and walked around, and when she came back, she was full of praise and said, "Sister, the furnishings in your palace are comparable to Yikun Palace!" It can be seen that the emperor is pragmatic to his sister. She smiled and said: "I like the curtain the most, it is two-layered, the inner layer is a layer of transparent crepe, and the outer layer is an inch of brocade and inch gold cloud brocade, and the color is not an ordinary skill, it is really exquisite." ”
Jing Yu quipped: "My sister has good eyesight, but I can't understand this." He added: "I haven't seen my sister for a while, but are you okay?" ”
The smile on Hazel's face couldn't help but retract a little, Concubine Hui has long regarded her as a party of An Concubine, how well she can live, but fortunately, she has no quarrel with the world now, and she has faded out of everyone's sight, as long as she survives, she said: "Sister Xie cares, it's all right." ”
Jing Yu saw a little abnormality, and it is no wonder that Concubine Hui instructed the Internal Affairs Office to make a fuss about the meal is still vivid, and she will not treat Hazel well, the 'same party' who used to be the enemy, so she was relieved: "It will get better." ”
Hazel nodded yes.
"That's nature! My sister is now a concubine, and she has the emperor's love, so she will get better and better! Linlang said with a smile.
As he was talking, he came to report that the congratulatory gift from the concubine had arrived.
The concubine has always had a set of scenes, and she really won't let people say anything.
The thing that attracts the attention of the palace is naturally to take the lead and send the fraternity as the master of the harem.
"Pass it on." Jing Yu said.
The congratulatory gift of the concubine on the front foot was presented, and the back reported that the concubine had arrived, followed by the concubine and the concubine.
"What good things are you giving away, sister, you might as well open it and take a look!" Hazel said.
Tong Gui and a few Chang Zai also chimed in.
Jing Yu smiled and ordered to open it.
Yueyao stepped forward and first opened the gift box given by Tong Jia's family, the box looked very exquisite, a rectangular brocade box more than a foot long, and after opening it, she saw that it was a jade Ruyi.
Well, the people of the Qing Dynasty really like Ruyi as a treasure.
However, this jade Ruyi is in excellent condition, and it is a good treasure.
Although many people have seen such treasures, they still can't help but admire.
Duan Concubine, Yi Concubine their congratulatory gift box was also opened one by one, there are finely embroidered screen ornaments, good rouge gouache, and the most valuable, or Yi Concubine sent a set of Zhu Feng Jinbao headdress, from the craftsmanship of the famous craftsman in the capital, the appearance is also the most fashionable nowadays, each of the inlays on it, it is enough to see the exquisite selection of materials.
Yi Concubine Guo Luo Luo is also a big family, but such a handwriting can really show sincerity.
Concubine Hui's congratulatory gift was belated.
When I opened the box, I saw that it was a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and after unfolding, it was not an ordinary calligraphy and painting.
The two who were always there and promised to step forward and read out a few sentences of the dense words on it, and everyone's faces froze.
"Sister, this is to embroider the whole page of the 'female virtue' on the cloth and make it into a ......hanging banner," Hazel said, and then she remembered that the first two times Jing Yu was imprisoned for being accused of 'fornication'.
Thinking of Imperial Physician Liu's time, Hazel blamed herself for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's all my sister who is even my sister." ”
Jing Yu didn't seem to understand Hazel's words, nodded with a smile, and said indifferently: "Put it away." ”
Lily of the valley angrily threw the things into the box casually, and said, "Little master, the slave will throw her away another day!" ”
Yue Yao poked Lily of the Valley fiercely, glanced at Wei Linlang, and then raised her voice: "Lily of the Valley, are you not mistaken?" This is a thing sent by the concubine, embroidered with words, delicate and elegant, the little master is very satisfied! ”
Lily of the valley couldn't react for a while, but what Yue Yao said was generally right, so she responded and said, "Concubine Hui's congratulatory gift?" I'm going to take it for a good life. ”
Jing Yu smiled knowingly, Yueyao often thought of going with her for the first time.
Concubine Hui sent this to cause an uproar in the harem, and began to talk about her previous two "fornications".
It's nothing more than wanting to be angry with her, and then breaking her reputation with dirty water,
If you are angry, isn't it right in the hands of others?
As for such a thing as public opinion, people are not afraid of crooked shadows, they are walking properly, they are facing themselves squarely, they are frank and open, and things that are already made out of nothing, after a long time, the people who spread it will feel bored, and they will inevitably disappear one day.
What's more, Kangxi himself doesn't believe it, even if others jump off the beam and shout, what's the use?
Her reaction after receiving this object, Linlang is likely to truthfully feedback to Concubine Hui.
She was sure that Linlang would not harm her, but she also believed that Linlang had attached herself to Concubine Hui.
Jing Yu's eyes fell on the Zhu Hai gift box given by Yi Concubine, showed a smile, and said: "Just now, it looks like it is from a famous craftsman in the capital, but now that I think about it, it seems to be Yun Jingxuan's craftsmanship." ”
"Yes, Yunjingxuan's filigree inlay and burning blue technology are the most proficient, you can see it at a glance." Hazel said.
Even if she didn't care, the others naturally lost interest in the hanging banner, and they all talked for a while before they went back to their respective halls.
Unexpectedly, within two days, the concubine was promoted, and the news that the concubine sent her a banner of "abiding by women's morals" spread all over the palace.
Now that the sealing ceremony has been completed, Jing Yu's green head card has naturally been restored.
However, Kangxi did not turn over her sign on the day of canonization, but went to Yi Concubine, and did not see her for a long time.
Yonghe Palace.
Mu Hibiscus served tea and said, "Niangniang, I heard that the emperor not only didn't go to Yongshou Palace on the day of canonization, but also didn't ask about it for a while." ”
Concubine Hui sneered: "So the hanging banner of the palace was sent in time, and it was spread throughout the palace, and it was impossible for the emperor not to know about her previous two things, so she didn't believe that the emperor had no problem in his heart." ”
"The emperor personally gave his sister the title of 'De', and from the bottom of my heart, I still think she wouldn't do such a thing. After the mother's reminder, the seed of doubt in the emperor's heart will be planted unconsciously and will grow. Mu Hibiscus said: "Niang Niang only needs to be reminded quietly from time to time." ”
Hui Concubine agreed very much and said: "Which husband in the world is willing to be pointed at and said to be cuckolded?" Even if the emperor is the Son of Heaven, he is a mortal, how can he be exempt from vulgarity? ”
On this day, Kangxi turned over Jing Yu's brand, and more than half a month had passed since the day of canonization. When Xing Kun came to report, Jing Yu was quite surprised, and she actually had a little bit of anticipation, and she was also puzzled by the feeling that she would look forward to it - Xu was flipped for the first time? She thought.
