001 Queen
On the day of Qiu Min'er's wedding, ten miles outside the prime minister's mansion with red makeup, the honor guard to welcome the relatives was endless.
The father led the clansmen to kneel all the way from the inner hall to the outer courtyard, and the bride of the phoenix crown sat alone on the head, from now on, there was no Min'er in the Qiu family, only the queen of the middle palace.
In the sixth year of Zhao Guojianguang, Xiang Ye, the king of Jizhou, raised troops to attack the imperial city, changed the name of the country to Daqi, and proclaimed himself Emperor Tianding. On that day, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated in the capital, and the seven-year-long struggle for imperial power came to an end.
Prime Minister Qiu Zhenyu, is the head of the royalist faction of the previous dynasty, the former army attacked the city, Xiang Ye stepped into the Xuanzheng Hall with a long sword in his hand, Qiu Zhenyu was not afraid, and protected the old lord of Chongling behind him, swearing to defend the royal bloodline.
Xiang Ye killed the seven-year-old Emperor Jianguang in front of him, but he spared his life, still made the prime minister, and ordered to assist the government.
In the blink of an eye, in the spring and autumn period, in May of the third year of Tianding, the emperor decreed that the daughter of the Qiu family should be selected as the queen.
At this moment, the auspicious time has arrived, Qiu Xiang bowed to the ground, and the old tears were rampant: "Min'er, the lives of more than 100 people in the Qiu family, Daddy will be in your hands." ”
The road to the palace is very long, and the emperor spent three years rebuilding the imperial city, filling out the island in the center of the Taiye Pond and building the Shangyang Palace, which is the middle palace.
Standing at this end of the approach bridge, on the vast and boundless liquid pool, the palace buildings can be faintly seen, and the lotus leaves on both sides of the approach bridge are connected to the sky, and the water mist is ethereal, just like a fairyland.
And the fairyland is out of reach, and on this road, Qiu Min'er can never turn back.
The hundred birds of the phoenix Guang silk robe, which means the dignity of the middle palace, slowly passed on the lead bridge of the red carpet, and Qiu Min'er counted the steps under her feet, one thousand three hundred and ninety-eight steps, just in front of the main gate of the Shangyang Palace.
Shangyang Hall occupies the entire island, the magnificent main hall can accommodate hundreds of people to enjoy the banquet at the same time, but in the empty palace, there is only the first golden dragon and phoenix throne.
"Queen Mother, every morning, the harem concubines will come to the Shangyang Hall to greet you, and you will sit there to accept the bow." The Mama Yun clan beside her stepped forward and pointed to the highest place, but the next sentence was, "But if the emperor comes, only the emperor can sit there, and you will stand under the throne." ”
Hearing this, Min'er looked sideways at the female officer beside her, and when she touched Min'er's gaze, Mama Yun was stunned and lowered her head unconsciously.
The young queen has a pair of noble and beautiful eyes, and in her dark pupils, it seems that thousands of worlds are hidden. It was clearly just a clear and peaceful gaze, but it made her, a female official of the old dynasty who had been in the deep palace for many years and was left behind by the new monarch, in awe.
"Then when the emperor drives, put another chair."
This is the first thing Qiu Min'er said when she entered the imperial city.
She looked ahead, held up her heavy skirt, and proudly stepped into the gate of the Shangyang Palace, from then on this island was her world, and she was already the most noble woman in this Great Qi country.
The wedding banquet to celebrate the canonization of the queen is placed in Chinese New Year's Eve the Antai Palace, the three-year-old emperor, who is still the king of Kishu, had a wife, and the original match died in the early years, so the autumn queen is only considered a stepfamily. The emperor did not have a big wedding ceremony with her, although the wedding procession was grand, but only took a sedan chair, and sent the queen to the Shangyang Palace.
At this time, in the Antai Palace, the wind music and bamboo are endless, the concubines of the palace in the past are now the famous concubines of the harem, and the warblers and swallows are scattered in the seats, and from time to time they throw flattering eyes at the emperor at the top.
Zhou Huai, the chief chamberlain, bowed down and stood on the emperor's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mama Yun has sent a message, and the queen mother ordered them to set up another chair in the main hall of Shangyang Palace." ”
Xiang Ye's eyes lingered in the fluttering skirt of the dancer, indifferently drank the wine in the glass, and asked, "Put another chair?" ”
Zhou Huaiying said: "Yes, Mama Yun told the queen that when you come to the Shangyang Palace, the mother can only stand on one side." Then the mother said, then set up another chair. ”
Xiang Ye coldly put down the wine glass, it seemed that the new queen was different from what he imagined.
Marrying this woman is not what he wants, no one in this world can replace his wife, but the ministers persuaded him that there must be a queen in the middle palace.
The country was not easy to come by, and in order to stabilize the dynasty and imperial power, he finally chose Qiu Zhenyu's daughter.
"That's what she wants." Xiang Ye agreed.
"Yes......" Zhou Huai's brows were raised, obviously feeling incredible.
"What time is it?"
"The time has passed."
Xiang Ye raised his eyes, walked through the colorful palace, and saw the dark night sky outside the door. But when he was in the light, he couldn't see the stars in the sky clearly, the emperor Huo Ran got up, and the music stopped for a while, and the concubines and ministers all held their breath and waited for the emperor to show off.
