It snowed heavily one night, and when it dawned the next day, the whole ground was covered with snow, and it was so white that it was unbearable to put a stain on the whiteness.

Cao Yue stood in front of the window with a handh and quietly watched the snow scene for a while, when suddenly a cold wind rushed in his face, and An Ning hurriedly closed the window tightly.

"Girl, it's okay to be around today, why don't you make perfume with Anping?"

Anyway, I don't know what's going on today, and if the teaching mother didn't come, they wouldn't take the initiative to invite.

After the window was closed, there was no cold wind intrusion, and the warm pavilion gradually warmed up.

Cao Yue glanced at An Ping, who was bowing his head and adjusting the incense on the side, and nodded lightly: "It's okay." ”

She was still thinking about last night, and it would be good to find something to do to divert her attention.

An Ping hurriedly got up and gave up the main position to Cao Yue, and waited on the side to start: "Speaking of which, the slave maid's ability to make incense is still taught by the girl, but after the slave and maid learned, the girl has never mixed the incense herself, and the slave maid originally had some regrets, but who knows that today the girl will make up for the slave's regret." ”

An Ping and An Ning are the same, they are not the children of the Cao family, but when Cao Yue was old enough to choose a big girl, he bought them outside.

It's not that Cao Yue doesn't believe in the Cao family's sons, but she wants to cultivate two maids who only belong to herself, and only recognize herself as the main maid.

Facts have proved that Cao Yue had a good vision for selecting people back then, and An Ning and An Ping did not live up to her expectations.

Cao Yue handed the hand stove to An Ning, picked up one of the spices after cleaning his hands, opened the lid and smelled it, feeling that the taste was a little pungent, and immediately closed the lid: "Don't use this spice in the future." ”

She didn't like the taste.

An Ping agreed, took the box and carefully looked at the name of the spice posted on the outside of the box, and silently wrote it down in his heart.

Then Cao Yue picked up the second box, also smelled it and threw it aside, with a little sadness between his eyebrows and eyes, and he looked extremely depressed.

"That's it, perfumery is about calmness, I'm not in the mood today."

I thought that I would not be shocked by anything I encountered, but in the end, I looked down on myself.

This feeling of handing over her fate to others for judgment made her extremely panicked, as if she had returned to the days when she was locked up in a violent room by Empress Lu in her previous life.

Many days and nights of terrification, when she didn't know whether Ruyi was dead or alive, when she was made an adult by Empress Lu and wanted to die but couldn't die, the fear of not being able to control her fate reached its peak.

Cao Yue closed her eyes and clenched her hands tightly, what was wrong with her, how could she think of her painful past life?

It's all gone, it's all gone.

Seeing this, An Ning and An Ping looked flustered, but fortunately, they quickly calmed down.

It's not the first time they've seen Cao Yue's appearance, they just need to guard the girl well, don't let the things next to them disturb the girl, just wait for the girl to wake up.

About a cup of tea later, Cao Yue's fingertips squeezed through the palms of his hands, leaving several crescent-shaped wounds with blood stains in the palms of both hands.

The clear pain brought Cao Yue back from the nightmare, slowly opened his eyes, exhaled turbid breath from physical and mental exhaustion, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I'm fine." ”

The two maids didn't ask much, An Ping went to the Duobao Pavilion and was about to get the medicine, when there were bursts of footsteps outside, and then there was a report in a shrill voice that belonged to the inner servant: "The holy decree has arrived———"

An Ping suddenly turned to look at Cao Yue, Cao Yue packed up his mood, led people out of the warm pavilion to the corridor, and saw a group of servants waiting in front of the emperor led by Liang Jiugong standing in the courtyard that had already been swept by the snow.

Liang Jiugong clasped his hands together and saluted Cao Yue with a smile, with a particularly good attitude: "Master Cao, the emperor has a decree, please prepare to receive the decree." ”

Cao Yue's gaze fell on the bright yellow holy decree held by the little eunuch behind Liang Jiugong, and after looking straight twice, he retracted his gaze, and his voice was flat and unwavering: "Come in." ”

Liang Jiugong was accustomed to this, and the rest of the people in front of the emperor saw it for the first time, and their eyes almost didn't fall out of their sockets.

Liang Jiugong didn't have time to take care of these rare and strange things at this time, shook off the dust and stepped into the room with light steps, seeing that Cao Yue was already standing in the center of the hall, he hurriedly gave a look, asked someone to put a futon in front of Cao Yue, and watched Cao Yue kneel before taking the holy decree handed over by the little eunuch and unfolding:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Today, the Cao family has a daughter, Shu is cautious, diligent and submissive, Yonghe is pure, gentle and good, Kexian is the inner rule, and Shude is full of chapters. I hereby accept the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager's mercy, and immediately canonize as a concubine, give Jingren Palace, and admire this. ”

Reading these words praising women's virtues, Liang Jiugong's thoughts couldn't help but go back to last night.

After Kangxi returned to the East Courtyard, Liang Jiugong saw that the hour was not early, and when he was about to wait for the emperor to go to bed, the emperor suddenly asked him to come out with a blank holy decree.

When I put pen to paper, it was called a silky smooth, without hesitation, in the blink of an eye, the title of position, and even the palace where I lived.

Kangxi looked at the title he thought of with satisfaction, raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "The sun and the moon are Zhao, this word is very suitable." ”

He is the sun, she is the moon, and they are a perfect match.

Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi's extremely satisfied expression, and he was about to cry, the emperor was generous, and with a wave of his hand, he was a concubine, and when the news was transmitted back to the palace, not to mention the masters of the harem, just that the empress dowager would definitely have opinions, who made the Cao family just a coat.

Liang Jiugong unconsciously touched his neck with his backhand, for fear that his head and neck would be separated when he returned to the palace, so he persuaded hard: "Your Majesty, the slave knows that you are satisfied with Master Cao, but Master Cao is a concubine at the beginning, I am afraid that there is something wrong, and I hope the emperor will think twice." ”

Kangxi heard such words that were almost affectionate in Xiyuan, and remembered the appearance of the Sun family kneeling here more than an hour ago and begging for the Cao family, and he already had a lot of pity for Cao Yue in his heart, so he wrote the canonization decree with excitement and enthusiasm.

Listening to Liang Jiugong's euphemistic reminder at this time, Kangxi came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, and he also felt that something was wrong.

But as an emperor, he will not be wrong, let alone admit that he has some impulsive elements in front of a minion, so after Kangxi reprimanded Liang Jiugong, the holy decree was issued to Xiyuan as scheduled on the second day.

After Liang Jiugong read out the holy decree, he shook his head in his heart, worried about Cao Yue's life after entering the palace for a moment, and then bent down and stepped forward to hand over the holy decree to Cao Yue: "Concubine Zhao, you accept the decree." ”

When Cao Yue heard the position, Fang Cai's still irritable mood miraculously calmed down, and after kowtowing according to the etiquette, his hands crossed his head, and his palms went up to receive the holy decree, and the scars on his palms fell on Liang Jiugong's eyes without half of it.

Liang Jiugong's pupils shrank, but he didn't say anything, and after respectfully helping Cao Yue up, he explained with a smile: "The emperor said, there is a lot of inconvenience in a hurry outside the palace, and your canonization ceremony will not be formal until you return to the palace." ”

After a pause, and quietly glanced at Cao Yue's expression, Liang Jiugong continued: "The emperor also said that he will come to you tonight to have dinner with you, and you should prepare early." The emperor can't do without people, so there are not many minions. ”

The canonization decree came very suddenly, and the Cao family was caught off guard. is more of a joy for Cao Yue's first seal as a concubine.

Cao Yin was originally at the Li family in the southern courtyard, and after hearing the news, he rushed to the Sun family's courtyard with the Li family, but he was greeted by a closed door.

Cao Yin saw Mama Hua guarding the door, and bowed her head politely: "I'm tired of Mama to report." ”

Mama Hua shook her head, her face was serious: "Uncle, please go back, the old lady is unwell, and no one wants to see her." ”

The moment Sun learned that everything had settled, even though he was mentally prepared, he still almost didn't have a breath, he was sad at this time, where was he in the mood to see the culprit.

Cao Yin is a smart man, he knows what Sun means, he smiled bitterly: "Mother is angry with me?" ”

He admitted that he couldn't stand Yue'er in this matter, but Yue'er was also benevolent, he didn't persecute her, even so, couldn't his mother understand him?

Li Shi looked at Mama Hua, and then at Cao Yin, confused, why did something happen that she didn't know?

Mama Hua didn't answer Cao Yin's words, but only bowed and went in to serve the old lady.

Cao Yin sighed, turned around and wanted to leave, and when he passed by the Li family who was full of question marks, he commanded: "Mother is not feeling well, as a daughter-in-law, stay here to serve your mother." ”

Before Li could react, Cao Yin walked away, Li's angry hair was about to smoke, and she ran away from the cold, and she didn't figure out anything, and the benefits didn't come to her hands, so she still had to serve people here?

Even if Li was reluctant, she still had to listen to Cao Yin's words, stomped her foot fiercely, and opened Sun's door with a worried face.

Cao Yue took care of this matter infinitely at the moment, after Liang Jiugong left, the teaching grandmother who didn't show up in the morning suddenly appeared, in addition to her, she also brought two other people to see the meticulous rules, and it looked like she came out of the palace.

The teaching mother first congratulated Cao Yue with a happy face: "Congratulations to Concubine Zhao, Niangniang is very happy." ”

Cao Yue looked at it but didn't have half a joy, and raised her eyes to look at the teaching grandma: "Mama is coming, I'm afraid it's more than congratulations to me." ”

Taught Mama to flatter Cao Yue with the same expression: "Niangniang is wise." ”

When the words fell, the teaching grandmother did not explain her intention at the first time, but reminded: "Forgive the old slave for talking too much, the emperor has issued a holy decree, Niangniang, you are now a noble concubine master, and when facing the slaves and maids, you should call yourself the palace." ”

After speaking, I remembered that the emperor would come in the evening, and considering the rules of this concubine and concubine, the teaching mother breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "And according to the rules, when facing the emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother, the imperial concubine and the concubines and masters who are higher than you, she must also call herself a concubine. That's not a bad rule. ”

Cao Yue seemed to be a little impatient, pursed her lips and was about to scold her for talking too much, but when she met the firm gaze of the teaching grandmother, she was relieved: "I... Hongu knows. ”

Teaching Mama to be satisfied: "The emperor said that he would come to accompany Niangniang for dinner, so before the emperor came up, everything Niangniang here, the old slave had to order people to check it one by one in accordance with the rules, in case anything bad happened, and please forgive Niangniang." ”

In fact, if it is in the palace, there is no such rule, after all, there will be nothing that should not be in the palace of the concubine. Besides, most of the concubines follow the rules of the palace when they go to bed, so there will be no potential safety hazards.

The reason why he has to do this extra is because the emperor is really uneasy to play his cards, and he wants to be in the boudoir of Zhao Concubine Niangniang, which is so special and the only one among the concubines.

Seeing that the two grandmothers behind the teaching grandmother were about to check the things in Cao Yue's house, Cao Yue suddenly became angry, threw the hand stove at the feet of the teaching grandmother, and said angrily: "Get out of here." ”
