Chapter 50: The Great Seal Harem
There are a lot of tiny, critical pieces in my head, and only a vague outline emerges from the patchwork piece.
Every time Emperor Xuanwu took a step, Jiang Xinyue always had to break that step into ten steps, and slowly and carefully analyze the deep meaning.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The dark night is set off by colorful fireworks, and a gorgeous scene emerges.
Frostfall pushed open the window, turned back to Jiang Xinyue and said, "Master, fireworks are set off on the city gate." ”
This is also one of the must-have programs of the annual New Year's banquet, which means that the whole world celebrates together, so that the people can also feel that the emperor is of the same heart with the people.
"Go to the imperial dining room to pass a table of dishes, you have been busy all day, you have been serving me, you haven't sat down to eat a mouthful of food, tonight we will be in Hexi Palace regardless of dignity and humility, and keep the New Year together."
Jiang Xinyue instructed the magpie after the frost fell: "Go and get some golden beans to make a profit for the people in the palace." ”
The concubines have been rewarded countless times around the year, and they are raised with gold and jade, and the hardest ones are the palace maids and eunuchs who serve below.
Hexi Palace closed the palace door, because of the matter of Rong Concubine, did not dare to make too loud noise, but more than a dozen people sat together, had a low-key meal, said some longing for the new year, received the red envelope given by the master, guessed the lantern riddle together, and played until the child, each said a happy New Year before going down to rest.
And the emperor's busyness has already started from the time of childhood.
Concubine Rong's child was not saved, and was carried to Cining Palace by the Queen Mother to take care of it.
At the moment of Zizheng, Emperor Xuanwu had left the Tai Hospital, and went to the southeast room of the Yangxin Hall to hold the pen opening ceremony, because the door of this small room was written with the word "Ming Window", so this ceremony was also called "Ming Window Open Pen Ceremony".
And that's not all.
After the opening ceremony, the emperor will lead the ministers of the clan and Yipin who have been waiting outside the palace to the left gate of Chang'an, in the auditorium east of the Yuhe Bridge, to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.
After the celestial ritual, the emperor and empress would go to Kunning Palace to worship the gods, praying that the gods would bless the Great Yan Dynasty with prosperity in the new year.
After the worship was completed, the empress separated from the emperor, the empress went to the harem to accept the concubines' bows, and the emperor went to the temple to worship the ancestral gods.
After all this was dealt with, the sky was already dawning, and the emperor went to the Taihe Hall to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and the celebration in the palace officially entered the next stage.
Jiang Xinyue was wearing a festive red palace satin flag suit, combing her hair twice, wearing some emerald headdresses on her bun, and covering the small wound on her face with powder.
Empress Zhu watched the first recovery from a serious illness, and her already thin body lost a few points.
She looked very bad, and the concubines looked at her face, and they didn't dare to quarrel like in the past, in short, this New Year's Day, it was quite peaceful.
"Precious."
Not long after Jiang Xinyue came out of Yikun Palace, Concubine Rong came: "Thank you for saving my sister last night." ”
"It's just a gesture, and you don't have to thank your sister."
Concubine Rong smiled: "My sister has nothing to do on weekdays, you can come to Jingren Palace to chat with the palace." Speaking of which, when you haven't moved the palace from the Lotus Palace, the emperor wants you to come to Jingren Palace to be your companion. It's just that the queen said that you chose Hexi Palace by yourself, so we didn't have a chance to be in one place. ”
Is there still this one?
Jiang Xinyue also laughed: "It's the concubine who has failed the sister of the noble concubine, and the concubine must come to the door to disturb her, but the sister doesn't dislike her sister for being a talker." ”
"Then the palace is waiting for my sister's arrival."
When it was time to eat at noon, Jiang Xinyue saw the emperor from afar.
This was the time for the emperor to spend time with his family and connect with his feelings.
Emperor Xuanwu was also looking at Jiang Xinyue, the fat powder on her face had faded a lot due to too much time, and a blood-red mark was very obvious on his right face.
The magpie whispered something in her ear, and she covered her face in panic, and after making sure that no one around was paying attention to her, she grabbed a few strands of hair to cover the wound on her face.
The Queen Mother is so heavy, rushing to ruin people's appearance!
It's good that he arrived early last night, otherwise I don't know what his beloved concubine would be tortured into.
Precious tolerance has been wronged.
"Queen, pass on the will of the harem of my great seal!"
Empress Zhu nodded, and the great eunuch Yang Gonggong of Yikun Palace came: "Go and announce the decree!" ”
said that it was a big seal, but in fact, it was the promotion of concubines below the rank of noble concubine.
It was originally a nobleman who was always there, and Jieyu, who was originally a nobleman, was originally Jieyu, and was also promoted to one place, and so on.
broke this rule in Jiang Xinyue, Rong Guifei and Jin Chongyi.
Originally, Jin Chongyi was above Jiang Xinyue, and properly pressed her several times, but the emperor jumped Jiang Xinyue several levels in a row and was named Zhen Zhaoyi.
Although she herself has become Zhaoyi Niangniang, she just can't be happy.
Rong Guifei turned into a concubine and became one of the four concubines, and on the concubine position, there are now good concubines, concubines, and concubines de, and there is only one virtuous concubine left.
Virtuous and virtuous, the virtuous concubine is the head of the four concubines.
The position of the fourth concubine is so scarce, and the people below are about to start working hard towards this again.
Concubine Li felt very aggrieved and felt that she needed a child very much now.
She has been on the throne of the imperial concubine for three years, and the emperor has been reluctant to crown her as the imperial concubine, doesn't he just think that she has no children, and there is no justifiable reason to crown her?
It seems that she will have to write a few more letters home and ask her father and mother to help her find some secret recipes for having children.
The queen followed Emperor Xuanwu's gaze and looked at Jiang Xinyue kneeling among the concubines, and her heart jumped fiercely.
Did the emperor slap her in the face last night because she poisoned Zhen Zhaoyi and blamed Jiang Yuan?
The thought was only a flash of thought, and then she was vetoed by herself.
Impossible!
Even if the emperor is interested in Zhen Zhaoyi, it is impossible to use Concubine Li to slap her in the face of the queen.
Last night, the emperor's holy decree still had the name of Concubine Li, and he wanted to crown her as the imperial concubine.
Since the time of Emperor Taizu and the emperor's grandfather, in order to prevent the phenomenon of the imperial concubine from being a latecomer and threatening the queen's position, a rule has gradually formed that the queen does not appoint the imperial concubine when she is alive.
It means that in the harem, if there is a queen, there must be no imperial concubine, including the gold book and gold treasure that were once given to the queen and the imperial concubine, and under this unspoken rule, it has become only for the queen.
So she refused, and had a few quarrels with the emperor for this.
Concubine Li is still the first person in the emperor's heart, it is impossible for the emperor to use Concubine Li to vent her anger to Zhen Zhaoyi, and the identity reversal is almost the same.
So...... Is it because she didn't have children to survive?
After the New Year, Jiang Xinyue is seventeen years old, and he is still a high school student in modern times.
