Chapter 1531: The Rituals of the Imperial Concubine
Just as she was thinking to herself, Sixi ran quickly and said with a joyful face: "Your Majesty, the royal concubine's attendants have entered the palace and will be there immediately."
As if to prove Si Xi's words, the sound of music floated into the ears, making everyone feel refreshed. Looking far into the distance, they saw numerous figures not far away.
Nala's face was filled with joy and she said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is coming soon. She should arrive at the right time!"
Yinzhen nodded heavily, with excitement and regret that could not be concealed in his eyes. If the person who was canonized today was the queen, it would be more perfect, but it is a pity...
Thinking of this, Yinzhen glanced at Nala next to him. The latter caught Yinzhen's gaze and showed a gentle smile. However, if she knew what Yinzhen was thinking, she might not be able to smile.
.
Looking at Nala's smile, Yinzhen felt a trace of guilt in his heart. No matter what, Lian Yi was the legitimate wife pointed out to him by Huang Ama. Over the years, she has been by his side and done her best.
It is the queen's duty to never do anything that makes her unhappy. If she were to depose her as queen without any reason, I would really be sorry for her. Thinking about it, this situation is the most appropriate.
Thinking like this, Ling Ruo's appearance appeared completely in everyone's sight, but everyone waiting in front of the Yangxin Hall was surprised by this look.
Dai Jia touched Guar Jia lightly and said in a low voice: "Sister, didn't you say that the emperor welcomed Concubine Xi back to the palace with a full queen's ceremonial guard? Why are there only half of the five-color dragon and phoenix flags including red, yellow dragon and phoenix fans?
, has it been reduced?”
"The Emperor clearly said..." Guarjia's voice suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence, and at the same time, her face showed a look of surprise, because she saw that there was no crest on the phoenix car, and the reduction of the honor guard was nothing.
, but Fengyu didn’t have a crest, this...this...she didn’t know what to say.
Not only them, Nala also saw this strange scene, and was puzzled. The only thing he could understand was that there was an incision where the phoenix head was, as if someone had cut it off with a knife.
But any bold person who dares to damage Fengyu is a crime that is tantamount to conspiracy and can be punished by the nine tribes. I believe that the Ministry of Rites will not make such a mistake. Something must have happened in the process.
What they saw, Yinzhen naturally saw too. His eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. His expression didn't even change. He smiled as he watched Ling Ruo walk off Feng Yu while holding the palace attendant's hand.
In his arms was Jia Rou, who had been canonized as Princess Gu Lun Zhaoqing.
Ling Ruo held the palace attendant's hand and walked up the white marble stone steps step by step. All the way to Yinzhen, Nala and the others, she handed the child to the palace attendant and knelt down three times with her knees on the ground.
The great gift of Nine Kowtows was: "I have returned to see the Emperor and the Queen. I wish the Emperor good health and the Queen's body to be peaceful."
Yinzhen looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of gentle smile, raised his hand and said: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as Ling Ruo stood up, his hand was held by a pair of hands that were completely opposite to the summer heat. It was Nala's, and she said with a smile on her face: "When the Emperor told me yesterday, I still
I didn't believe it, but now I finally believe it. It turns out that my sister is really not dead. This is really the best news I have heard this year."
Looking at Nala's face, even though it was carefully drawn, it still showed a trace of old age. Ling Ruo lowered his head and smiled and said: "It is my fault that I am worried, my concubine is really worthy of death."
Nala hurriedly said: "Today is a great day for your canonization, but you are not allowed to say such unlucky words. In short, it is a great thing that you can come back. The emperor and I are very happy in our hearts."
"Thank you for your tolerance." When Ling Ruo was speaking, Nala had already turned his eyes to Jia Rou and said with joy: "Is this Princess Zhaoqing?"
Ling Ruo lowered his head and said humbly: "It's Jia Rou who is the queen."
"Hurry up and let me take a look." At Nala's signal, the palace lady held the child in front of her. After taking a closer look, Nala said: "It is obvious that the child is already one month old.
It's really pitiful to be as young as a newborn, and you have to take good care of it from now on."
Seeing the pity in her eyes, Ling Ruo couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The queen's mask of hypocrisy was still as skillful as ever. No, it should be said that it was better than before. There was no flaw in it, and it deceived the eyes of the world. I really want to see it.
Look at the true expression on Nala's face when the mask was trampled and torn. Pain or despair...
Nala took Jia Rou, held her in front of Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, look how much the little princess looks like you. She looks like she was carved from the same mold."
Yinzhen caressed Jiarou's delicate cheeks lovingly, with the love of a father in his dark eyes, "My daughter is just like me." Before Nala could speak, he already said: "It's getting late, let's go first
Let’s do the canonization ceremony, otherwise it will be a bad time to pass the auspicious time.”
Nala smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. I was so happy that I almost forgot about the business." As she said this, she nodded slightly to Qian Moduo who was waiting aside. Qian Moduo immediately
He said knowingly: "The canonization ceremony begins!"
When the palace officials were preparing for the canonization ceremony, Ling Ruo found Guarjia standing behind her. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief from time to time to prevent tears from flowing down. The moment she saw Guarjia, Ling Ruo's heart was filled with warmth.
After all this intrigue and deception in the harem, there was finally someone who truly treated her well.
However, when I saw Dai Jia next to Guar Jia, I was a little surprised. Because of Hongli's incident, she was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace. Unexpectedly, she has come out now. I don't know who took her place.
The love you seek.
After thinking about it, the palace officials had already prepared the things needed for the canonization. In addition, the Neiluan ceremonial guards had also set up ceremonial guards. However, Lingruo frowned as soon as he took a look at it, because the ceremonial guards set up by the Neiluan ceremonial guards were not the ceremonial guards for the imperial concubine.
It is the honor guard of the imperial concubine.
She had already aroused a lot of criticism when she returned to the palace with the Queen's ceremonial guard. The two censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate just came. Although it was Yingge who was behind it, I believe that many people in the court had the same idea as them. If now
If you continue to use the imperial concubine as a guard of honor, I am afraid that the criticism in the court will be even greater. It is not a good thing to put yourself and the courtiers on opposite sides, even if you have Yinzhen to protect you.
Not to mention Ling Ruo, even the Guarjia family frowned. They were so arrogant when they first returned to the palace, which was not a good thing for Ling Ruo. However, she did not hear Yinzhen mention that she should act like an imperial concubine.
The canonization ceremony, why now...
When Guarjia was surprised, Ling Ruo had already bowed to Yinzhen and said: "I have been favored by the emperor and can be registered as a noble concubine. Although I feel that my virtue is not enough, I can only accept it with shame, but the courtesy of the emperor's concubine, I am a concubine."
I absolutely dare not accept it, so I ask the emperor to treat his concubine as a noble concubine."
