"However, the more she wants to avoid it, the less I can let her avoid it. Although the emperor only granted her the title of noble concubine, the person who went to pick her up was full of queen's guard of honor. Such transgression is enough to make hundreds of officials take part in her.
"It's a pity that I can't let Yingge add fuel to this, otherwise it will be even more lively." Facing Nala's words, Xiao Ningzi didn't quite understand, "Master, why can't you let Yingge do this? It's not a pressure on the emperor.
Is bigger better?”
Nala glanced at him and said: "Didn't you hear what the emperor said before he left? Although I asked Yingge to allocate half of the secret guards to pretend to be remnants of the Red Flower Society, it is obviously enough to make people
The emperor is convinced. He is still suspicious of Hongshi, so he asked me to discipline Hongshi.
Let him make a mistake in his errand. So at this time, you still have to try to avoid causing trouble, even with Yingge. I am not the Niu Hulu clan. If she makes a hundred steps wrong, the emperor will not pursue it, and may even
I will make up for her, but if I make one wrong step, I will be in hell forever."
"I understand." In Xiao Ningzi's words, Nala sneered again, with a chilling light flashing in his eyes, "Isn't the emperor going to promote Niu Hulu? I will help him."
I would like to lend a helping hand and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that tomorrow’s canonization ceremony will be within their capabilities and according to the specifications of the imperial concubine. I will not force anything beyond my capabilities."
When Xiao Ningzi conveyed her words to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was in a panic. It was just one night before the canonization ceremony, but it was suddenly changed to the specifications of an imperial concubine. This undoubtedly made them scrambled, but no matter how busy they were, they had to
Following Nala's instructions, Qian Moduo anxiously led his people to make changes, and finally got it done before dawn.
On May 28th, the most auspicious day in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, before dawn, eight young eunuchs carried huge rolls of golden red carpets and spread them all the way from the Yangxin Hall to the palace gate. This was originated from Persia
Every inch of the golden red carpet brought as tribute is of extraordinary value, so it is laid all the way
When they came down, they were worth thousands of gold. But this was not over yet. Soon another young eunuch came carrying red carpets, and there were more red carpets than before. They were laid out all the way from the palace gate. As soon as one piece was laid, there were immediately
Another one followed, and one after another, seemingly without end.
It was laid like this all the way to the outside of the imperial city. When the common people saw the seemingly endless red carpet, they were all stunned. Some of them knew this kind of golden red carpet, and their eyes widened. If these golden red carpets were
The total amount of silk red carpets, not to mention thousands of gold, is not enough. Such a big gesture may mean that all the gold red carpets in the palace are moved out, but I don’t know who they are picking up, so it is so grand.
Everyone is curious. The people followed the red carpet and walked all the way until they reached the entrance of Guojun Prince's Mansion. From here, the red carpet was rolled into the mansion.
And as those little eunuchs were being laid, officers and soldiers dispatched from Shuntian Mansion and the Infantry Yamen early in the morning guarded the route, strictly prohibiting anyone from stepping into the seemingly soft and dense red carpet.
After the little eunuch left, someone soon appeared from the other side of the red carpet. The one at the front was a phoenix carriage, followed by four of my troops, four of the standing melons, four of the lying melons, and ten of the five-color dragon and phoenix flags.
Yellow dragon, four phoenix fans each, eight pheasant tail fans, secondary red, four plain square umbrellas,
Four yellow satin embroidered four-season flower umbrellas, ten five-color nine-phoenix umbrellas. Two golden festivals. Two golden whisks, two golden incense burners, two golden incense boxes, one gold basin, one gold bowl, two gold vases, one gold chair, and one gold square table.
.The second nine-phoenix crank-handle yellow cover is one. The Yiyu rides twice, the Phoenix chariot rides one, and the Yi chariot rides twice.
Such a long queue stretched for several miles, and the palace people came one after another in an orderly manner, and finally stopped at the gate of the Guojun Prince's Mansion.
The most eye-catching one among them is the phoenix chariot, which has a red top, a phoenix head, a phoenix tail, and phoenix feathers. It is painted with rising and lowering phoenixes and clouds, and the rows are painted with auspicious grass and drained water patterns. These are the queen's phoenix chariot.
Some people had seen the guard of honor when Yinzhen and his concubines went to the Old Summer Palace. After carefully counting them, they found that the guard of honor now was actually the guard of honor of the queen. Plus the Feng Yu, could it be that the queen was coming to the Guojun Prince's Mansion? It's conceivable.
I was wrong. The chariot was empty, which meant that the Queen was still in the palace and had not come over. But if it were not the Queen, who would dare to use the Queen's ceremonial guard and the gold thread that looked so noble just by looking at it?
red carpet.
Everyone who saw this ceremony stretched their necks and looked in to see who was coming to the Guojun Prince's Mansion to welcome them. At this time, Ling Ruo was already being served by a group of maids from the Prince's Mansion.
Wearing something that belongs to the imperial concubine
Dressed in court, the color is azure, decorated with eight golden dragons with five claws, eight treasures on the bottom, the longevity mountain, the waves of the river, and the standing water pattern. The collar is made of carved gold, decorated with pearls, turquoise, and coral, and hung with dense
The number of beads decorated with cypress is one hundred and eight.
The imperial crown is made of green velvet, embellished with red weft, and has three top layers decorated with pearls, gold dragons, gems, corals, etc. Behind the crown is a collar guard with a bright yellow belt hanging down.
Ling Ruo looked at herself in the bronze mirror and was filled with emotions. She once thought that she would never return to the capital or to Yinzhen, but in the end, she wore this dress again. This was the imperial concubine's court dress.
, but it is not her battle robe, which means that she will return to the extremely fierce battlefield where no gunpowder smoke can be seen.
This time, she will not leave the battlefield again. Anyone who dares to go against her will be eliminated one by one, including Nala.
When she walked out of the room with the help of the maid, Yunli, who was also waiting outside in court attire, was almost unrecognizable at first glance. Dressed in imperial robes, Ling Ruo looked completely different. She was as gentle as before.
The gentleness and beauty are all transformed into grace and majesty that people dare not look directly at at this moment.
Seeing Yunli looking at him blankly, Ling Ruo smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong, Master Seventeen doesn't recognize me?"
I haven't used this title for a long time, but when I used it again, it was still the same as before, without any discomfort. Because... this was a title that belonged to her, and even if she had lost it, it was only temporary.
Yunli came back to his senses and quickly clapped his sleeves and knelt down, "I, Yunli, come to see the Imperial Concubine Xi. The Imperial Concubine is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Master Seventeen, please get up." Ling Ruo helped him up with his own hands and said emotionally: "No matter I am Niu Hulu, Ling Ruo or Concubine Xi, I will never forget Master Seventeen's life-saving grace. I will be grateful to Shi Shi for the rest of my life."
Seventh Master."
Yunli lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "All this is what I should do. I only hope that your future journey will be easier and there won't be many bumps in the road."
"Inherit the good words of the Seventeenth Master." Ling Ruo owed Yunli something. This man not only treated her affectionately, but also saved her life several times. The most important thing is that no matter when or where, he never let himself do it.
