Chapter 120: The Canonization Ceremony
When I got up early in the morning, I saw two rows of palace maids standing by the bed, and I was inevitably shocked.
When they said goodbye, I remembered that today was the canonization ceremony, and the weather was rare and the sky was clear.
Dizzy and washed, they presented the clothes, there were three underwear, each of which was decorated with different embroidered edges, layered on top of each other, and the embroidered edges were exposed.
The skirt is edged with heavy gold threads, red and yellow. Except for the totem I requested, there were no extra ornaments on the skirt, but the waist was decorated with precious stones, which served as the finishing touch.
The robe is three meters long and decorated with tassels on both sides.
By the time they finish dressing me, it will take nearly half an hour.
Then I started combing my hair, I felt a headache, so I simply closed my eyes and let them toss.
When I was about to fall asleep, I unconsciously lowered my head and almost twisted my neck. Glancing up at the mirror, a crystal charm was shining on his forehead.
There aren't many things on my head, but I feel very heavy, and overall it's simple and atmospheric.
They brought some pastries first, saying that the auspicious time for the canonization ceremony was after noon, so they asked me to eat something to conserve my strength.
I haven't seen Xia Xiying since I got up in the morning, she said that everything was arranged, and now I can't see anyone, so I'm really a little anxious.
I couldn't eat a few bites of pastry, and I was completely restless.
At noon, they helped me out of Jinyun Palace.
At the entrance of Jinyun Palace is a foot, and the courtyard is still a gilded soft sedan chair. According to their meaning, I was carried to the sedan chair with steps, and my feet could not walk on the ground unless I reached the gate of the Taihe Palace.
After sitting in the sedan chair, it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at the Taihe Palace, and I had to admire their speed, in the past, the same distance took a long time.
When the curtain is lifted, the eyes are full of red, and the stall is newly made, which is darker than the red.
"Mother." A group of palace women stood on both sides according to their ranks, they were smiling, and even the curvature of the corners of their mouths was the same.
The person who stepped forward to take me was actually a concubine, and I had to sigh at Beiyu Liangyi's intentions and attention.
The concubine took me by the hand and walked up the long steps.
I saw that the civil and military officials were also on both sides, and no matter how disdainful and disgusted they were at the beginning, their faces were expressionless at this time.
I walked step by step, and he stood at the top and looked at me.
When there were three orders left, Li Mingquan raised the holy decree and began to recite.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Liu's Liu Sujin, next to the side of the king, ** of the dedication. Both ability and political integrity, good tolerance. The virtuous group was able to see the chapter. The Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty was given the charter of the Six Palaces, so she had to enter the position of the concubine and give it to her. ”
His voice resounded throughout the palace, and it lingered for a long time.
I folded my hands in front of my forehead, knelt down solemnly, and bowed three times.
When he raised his head, Bei Yuliang had already handed his hand in front of him.
I handed him my hand and stood side by side with him, receiving the blessings of the civil and military officials and the concubines.
My gaze fell into the distance and lost focus.
He squeezed my hand, and I came back to my senses.
"Jin'er, you see, this is the country of Beiyan, the country of my Beiyu Liangyi, and it will also be our country." His voice was soft, but the word "we" was accentuated.
My feelings are even more complicated, and I want to say thank you, but I can't say thank you.
After the hundred officials paid their respects, everyone sat down and the ceremony began.
The dishes are all in color, full of Han and Han feasts, I have no appetite, all the civil and military officials are the same as me, they have an iron face, but they are just because I have no appetite for the demon girl of the country.
Bei Yuliang also sensed that something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
"It's just that the concubine didn't have a good rest last night, it's okay."
He said, "Why don't you go back and rest earlier?" ”
I smiled reluctantly: "Just kidding, today is the canonization ceremony, even if the grace is strong, you can't leave the table so willfully, otherwise, you will have to deal with the ladies in various palaces in the future." ”
He shook his head helplessly and said nothing more.
Liu Xia stood next to me, quietly pouring water and tea, I looked around, and I couldn't see a little Xia Xiying.
My heart was half cold, she shouldn't leave me alone.
"I have heard the name of Niangniang for a long time, and it is rare to see it today, and it really deserves its name."
I looked for the voice and saw that it was the princess of King Ling Ran, who was gentle and demure, and she was completely beautiful.
I think of Ruxue, a person who is pregnant for nine months, a man who is bitter, and this man has completely forgotten her, he has a beautiful future, and what about her? A person slowly ages in dusty memories.
"The Seventh Princess has won the prize." I replied to her lightly, not wanting to say more.
"Meng Xian respects the concubine with a cup, and the concubine stays young forever." She was just about to take a drink when King Ling Ran suddenly snatched the glass.
"Concubine Niangniang, the insider is three months pregnant, it is not suitable to drink, the ministers and insiders respect the mother for a cup, and do it first." He drank it in one gulp, and the Seventh Princess was full of shyness.
The more I watched such a harmonious scene, the more unhappy I became.
"King Ling Ran is so temperamental, this palace still remembers that Miss Ruxue used to say that the prince didn't drink much......" I stopped talking and was satisfied to see his frozen expression. Oh, look at the memory of this palace, forget it, don't talk about it, everyone eats and drinks well. ”
Bei Yuliang also sighed and said softly: "Alas, you......"
Singing and dancing Shengping covered up the appearance of everyone's hearts, and my eyes fell on Luo Yu next to the left Xiang, she was wearing a smoke-colored light gray dress, sitting there quietly, beautiful like a painting.
I unconsciously looked at the place where Beiyu Jinchen should be sitting, but that position was empty, he was absent, and I didn't know what reason he used to prevaricate.
It's right to think about it, he can't wait for me to disappear early, so how can he want me to become a pivotal figure in Beiyan.
Drink a glass of wine that fills your throat with spiciness.
Liu Xia approached me, leaned down and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Niangniang drink less wine, you are going to sleep in the Longcheng Palace tonight, and there will be some precautions for you at night." ”
