Chapter 117: The Eve of the Ceremony (1)

Back in the palace, the sky was not dark, and the sunset slowly stained the sky, blurring a gradient of beautiful color.

There was a row of grandmothers standing in the main hall, all wearing dark brown clothes, and on the placket was a dahlia with overlapping embroidery technology, which looked like a respected old man.

I don't know what's going on, I just think it's weird.

Fearing that they were looking for trouble again, I could only calm down, slowly take off my coat, and scan them with a slightly contemptuous gaze.

Liu Xia sensed that something was wrong, and walked up to ask, "I don't know if you grandmothers...... What is the reason for coming to Jinyun Palace? ”

Before Mama could answer, Xia Xiying suddenly walked in from the door.

said: "They are here to serve the mother and bathe the nine soups." Tomorrow is the canonization ceremony, according to the old rules, it is to bathe the mother in the fragrant soup one day in advance. ”

Then I saw the spices in all sorts of burdens behind them.

The fragrance of flowers has permeated every corner, all the petals are freshly picked, and you can even see the crystal water droplets on them.

"Nine soup means nine spices?" I said.

A grandmother was full of smiles and hurriedly replied: "Niang Niang Linghui, I can see through it at a glance." Generally speaking, the promotion of harem concubines is divided into three soups, six soups, and nine soups. The concubine is three soups, the concubine is six soups, only the queen mother of the world is the nine soups, it can be seen that the mother is really the emperor's love, this concubine bathed in nine soups, the slave lived for fifty years, but the first time I saw it. ”

I walked up behind her and grabbed a handful of petals from my burden, the magenta gradient petals stretched out from light to dark, and the patterns on them were still clearly visible.

Mama said: "Niangniang, this is a multi-petal rose, the fragrance is elegant, meaning many children and grandchildren, next to this is a unique spiritual herb, pleasant and calm, helpful to sleep, Niangniang can only face the complicated canonization procedures the next day after resting the day before, this is the ......"

I was upset and interrupted what she was about to say.

"Got it, then you can prepare, this palace wants to rest early."

"The slave takes the command."

They went into the inner hall one after another to prepare, and Xia Xiying stayed behind to change my clothes.

I felt sleepy, my head was groggy, like it was going to explode.

Xia Xiying took a thin gauze robe, took off the hairpin for me, and combed the long hair with jade for three thousand.

While combing my hair, she said, "Those things about the Qian nobles have been exposed, and now I am pleading for mercy in the Empress Dowager's palace." ”

Money-earners? I couldn't react for a while, and after a while, when she accidentally combed the knotted ends of her hair and made me feel a slight pain, I suddenly realized that I had set up a game to let Concubine Lian's side do infighting.

"Then, after waiting for the bath, go to the Queen Mother's side. Concubine Lian, are they also there? ”

Xia Xiying was stunned, and said helplessly: "Since you have decided to leave, why bother with these Raushshit." ”

"There is a saying that send the Buddha to the west. Now that you have done this, let it be done, so as not to leave any aftermath. ”

She nodded and led me into the inner sanctum.

The heat in the white jade soup pool swirls around the body like a white mist, with the vitality of flowers.

Blocked by the bead curtain screen, stepping here, it is like entering Penglai Wonderland, all the busy people and their figures are not real, hazy, like a dream.

Unfastened the last piece of clothing on his body and walked down the steps to the soup pool.

The clear water of the hot springs spreads first over the feet and then over the knees until it is about to flood the chest.

Warmth envelops the body, and a steady stream of heat is transmitted to all corners of the body.

The mothers were still busy making preparations, mixing various spices, steaming out the essence of the spices, blending them into the cold spring, and finally collecting them into the pool.

I leaned against the edge of the pool and watched them. I used to feel uncomfortable when I was taking a shower, and I had to kick out all the people who were waiting, but now I'm used to it.

The fragrance of roses is soft, the spirit vanilla is rich, the lilies are elegant, the lotus flowers are faint, and the aroma I smell is mixed together, so that I can't distinguish the other flavors.

If I stay for a few more years, I will be able to become the Empress of Beiyan, the real master of the harem.

Sure enough, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and if you take care of one side, you can't take care of the other. If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up.

I really want to know how the queen of Liangxi faced the ruin of the country and the death of the family, why she lived in Beiyan for three years but jumped from the city tower, and how good it would be if she had been alive. I still have relatives, she is my mother, not Chongzi, who uses me, and Xin Li, who sees me as a threat.

He exhaled a long breath, and his breath melted into the swirling white air.

The palace people poured buckets of petals into the pool, and the rain of saffron flowers floated on the surface of the water, covering the sight of the bottom of the pool.

The long hair is scattered on the surface of the water, and every strand of hair is clearly visible.

Clear your mind, close your eyes, and enjoy a moment of tranquility.

Worry and doubt still haunt me all the time, as soon as I close my eyes, I feel like I am back in the Night Pavilion, I want to see the situation clearly, but in the clouds, blurry, unable to organize my thoughts.

I felt the palace people scoop warm water with a wooden scoop and pour it on my bare/exposed shoulders, letting the water run across my skin.

The sudden watering action paused for a moment, and then continued, only to feel more gentle.

"The water is not hot, add some hot water." I turned my head and commanded, but my eyes suddenly met a pair of gentle eyes.

After being stunned for a long time, I subconsciously wrapped my arms around my chest, but fortunately there were overflowing petals to cover it.

"The Emperor...... Your Majesty, why are you here? I took a few steps back and leaned to the other side, my cheeks burning brightly.

He laughed, "What? Are you afraid of me? Or ......"
