Bai Hongqi looked at the drawn pattern and didn't speak for a long time. Eight? 1 Chinese Net ???.? ８?１?ｚ ?． ｃｏｍ

Meng Quanfu has already seen this drawn pattern, according to him, this person who destroys auspicious clothes is really not clever enough, and he can't do this kind of thing two or three days in advance, he should do it again the night before, and when the canonization is timed, he will change it out before the auspicious clothes are broken, and then he can only catch the blind now, so it will be useful. If you start so early in advance, people can easily find a replacement auspicious clothes, so what's the use of tossing it in addition to taking risks in vain?

Bai Hongqi raised his hand, lifted the lampshade, and put the tissue paper on the flame, and the paper was so thin that it burned all at once.

Although Meng Quanfu was a little surprised why the master wanted to burn it, he quickly brought the spittoon over so that Bai Hongqi could throw the paper ashes into it.

Meng Quanfu also figured out the kung fu of bending over and standing together. The master must have seen something on the paper. Since you can see the doorway, the paper is useless, and it is still troublesome to keep it.

Meng Quanfu didn't see it.

Bai Hongqi also knew that he was a little worse than Xiao Ye, if Xiao Ye was here, he would probably be able to see it.

"Since the concubine Niangniang is hiding this matter, she definitely doesn't want to make extraneous branches before the canonization, you also keep your mouth shut, and tell Xia Yue that she shouldn't get involved in this matter, just don't know."

"Yes."

But Bai Hongqi was in a dilemma here.

He should report this matter to the emperor, but the concubine chose to hide it, is it appropriate for him to poke it out?

Bai Hongqi pondered for a moment, he couldn't hide this matter, and if he continued to hide it, there might be other troubles. He still has to report to the emperor, as for what the concubine thinks, he can't care so much, the emperor's intentions and instructions are the only criteria for Bai Hongqi to act.

This day is the day of canonization, Yong'an Palace is sprinkled inside and out, and the front of the main hall is even more dusty. Hu Rong got up before dawn and personally watched a few little eunuchs wipe them with rags little by little, and the clean ones on the ground could be licked with their tongues.

Xie Ning also got up very early, and he got up at the same time as the emperor, but the emperor had already finished changing clothes and washing and was about to go out, and everything here had just begun.

After bathing, she sat down in front of the mirror and began to be dressed and combed by the two Shang Gong attendants. The bun to be combed today is different from the past, and the process of dressing up alone will take more than one or two hours. Xie Ning hurriedly had a few mouthfuls of breakfast before changing into auspicious clothes. Because it was inconvenient to move after changing clothes, in order to reduce the number of conveniences, she only took two sips of water. The two Shang Gong have their own unique skills in dressing up, Qinghe still wanted to steal the teacher at first, but now this is by no means a craft that can be learned in a day or two, watching people's hands fly up and down like butterflies wearing flowers, and a wisp of green silk is skillfully dipped in head oil and pulled up. Just talking about this action of dipping in oil, you have to practice it in the next few years. If the dipping is slow, it will delay things, and if the dipping is fast, it is difficult to grasp the severity. It is difficult to fix the head if it is dipped less, and if it is dipped too much, it will make the head stick together greasy.

They were afraid that Xie Ning would be impatient after sitting for a long time, and from time to time they would tell a little joke and praise a few words to distract the concubine. Shainin was extremely patient, and he did not urge and complain impatiently at all.

Fang Shanggong came in with a delicate and gorgeous rosewood box, which was carved with a diamond pattern and wrapped with golden horns. She placed the box on the dressing table and gently lifted the lid.

Inside the box is a crown of pearls, red gold dotted with emerald inlaid treasures, decorated with pearl tassels. Shainin was lit in front of and behind him with a bright lamp and candle, and the crown of beads reflected the candlelight, and there was a foggy halo on it, and this layer of light and mist seemed to be still flowing. In fact, if you look closely, the light is the gems and pearls embedded in it. It's just that because of the large number of them, these brilliances are fused together, and it looks as if the whole outside is covered in light mist.

For a while, the people in the room couldn't even hold their breath, and even Xie Ning lost his mind for a while.

She hadn't seen this bead crown before, it was the emperor who said that the craftsman was rushing to make it, which had already made people try to reduce the weight, but it couldn't be too small, and it would make others mistakenly think that her identity as a concubine was as weightless as this bead crown.

It turned out that this was the gift that the emperor said.

Shang Gong, who was still combing her hair, came back to her senses first, and said with some stumbling: "This is really ...... It's only appropriate for the mother to wear it. In the first few decades of the slave maid in the palace, she had never seen such a luxurious bead crown, and the emperor really valued the concubine. ”

Xie Ning gently flicked the tassels on the bead crown.

How the emperor treats her, she knows it in her heart. But others can only infer and guess the love between the emperor and her from these foreign objects.

Do they think that the emperor's importance to her is the value of this pearl crown?

Then they see too little.

Xie Ning remembered that when she was in the garden, the emperor took her to see Princess Mingshou, who had been reduced to a prisoner, and the words they said in front of her, those secrets that should not have been known by anyone except the emperor himself.

No, the emperor's affection for her is not something that this small crown of beads can carry, not even as much as a tenth.

Thinking about it in this way, Shainin no longer continued to marvel at the beauty of this pearl crown. The two Shang Gong were carefully holding the bead crown and putting it on her head.

The pearl is dazzling, and Xie Ning can't see his appearance in the mirror clearly.

Fang Shanggong looked at Xie Ning at this time and was a little distracted, but only for a short moment, she walked over and straightened the tassels hanging from the bead crown for Xie Ning, and helped Xie Ning to stand up with Qinghe.

Outside, the sky is already bright, the sun has risen, the incense table has been placed in front of the main hall, and the felt mat has been laid on the ground. The eldest prince took Princess Yuyao's hand, and the second prince was held in the arms of the nurse, watching Xie Ning slowly walk over step by step from a distance.

The prince had to squint his eyes to barely see her clearly. The robe embroidered with bright gold thread was even more dazzling in the sun, and the crown of beads on her head was even more shining, and it seemed that her whole person was like a light, which made people dare not look directly.

Xie Ning knelt down on the felt mat, and the Ministry of Rites unfolded the holy decree, and read it in a loud voice.

After the decree was read, Xie Ning received the holy decree, followed by the golden seal of the treasure book that symbolized and affirmed the identity of the concubine.

The two temples that had turned gray were a little trembling, and he first saluted and congratulated Xie Ning, and the entire Yong'an Palace knelt down, and shouted out the auspicious words to congratulate her in a uniform voice.

Xie Ning was in a trance for a moment, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. The weather was fine today, and the people of Si Tianjian really set a good day, and the sun was shining brightly. Autumn has indeed arrived, and there will be no such blue and clear sky in summer, only such a good sun in autumn is crisp.

She has always believed in the auspicious words of the gods and Buddhas, but at this time, she can't help but think, does today's good weather indicate that her future road will be smoother and more open?

However, today's big day is destined to leave no time for her to sigh. After receiving the order, Xie Ning went to the side hall to change his clothes.

This time, he changed into the dark crimson auspicious suit that he secretly took from the Needlework Bureau. I don't know if it was because he was bitten by a snake once, and when the clothes were held out, Xie Ning couldn't help but look at the position of the hem of the placket again. Of course, this auspicious dress is intact, and it is impossible for another crack to appear.

The bead crown was only worn and taken off for half an hour, and then combed the bun, inserted seven pairs of golden phoenix long tassels on the hairpin, and went to the Fengxian Hall to bow and pay tribute in a sedan chair.

Concubine Shen and Concubine Jin have already arrived first, waiting outside the palace gate, and they can only follow up when Xie Ning goes first, and the position of kneeling is also one in front and the other two in the back. At a rough glance, the three of them were dressed almost the same, and their hair ornaments were similar. But if you look closely, you can tell that the red shades of the three sets of auspicious clothes are different, and Xie Ning's auspicious clothes have a soft and rich texture and a soft luster like pearls. The auspicious clothes of Shi and Han are much inferior in comparison. The color is a bit exaggerated, and the gloss is cheap and harsh.

Of course, the tribute satin used in the palace could not be cheap and subordinate, and the auspicious clothes worn by the two of them were also carefully cut and embroidered by the embroiderers of the Needlework Bureau. It's just that he is afraid of everything than he does. Before Xie Ning came, Shi and Han Erfei, you look at me, I look at you, they are on equal footing with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. But as soon as Xie Ning came, he immediately suppressed the limelight of the two of them.

Xie Ning knelt in front of him, and the three of them bowed down together.

Concubine Han raised her head slightly, but she could only see the tail of the concubine's skirt. The hem of the skirt was adorned with pearls the size of a grain of rice.

She didn't dare to look more, her head lowered again, and her forehead pressed tightly against the puff plate. As if she had made an appointment, her head was lowered, and Concubine Shi Shen's head was slightly raised, and she also glanced at the front quickly.

Kneeling three times and bowing nine times is not easy for the three of them, usually prostrating like this is nothing, but today this dress is heavy and complicated. When receiving the order in Yong'an Palace, Xie Ning knelt and stood up with someone to support him. But in the Fengxian Palace, it is impossible for the head Shang Palace and the palace people to come in, it is extremely difficult to get up after worshipping, and after standing up straight, Xie Ning feels that the sweat is coming out, fortunately, today's makeup is the result of painting for half a day, not to mention sweating, even if you splash a basin of water in your face, you are afraid that the powder will not fall.

When he returned to Yong'an Palace and changed his clothes, he verified Xie Ning's idea, and it was indeed correct. The inner layer was already soaking wet, Fang Shanggong had already prepared, and led the Qinghe Qingmei to change her body from the inside to the outside, and her head had to be combed again.

After tossing like this for a day, the bones are about to fall apart, and when this kind of scenery that others envy is his turn, Xie Ning is only glad that he will probably toss it once in his life.

"If the master is very tired, just rest for a while, the main hall has not yet arrived, so we don't have to rush out."
