Wen Xi pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Did I come at a bad time?" Wen Xi now regretted entrusting her son to Jingyi to take care of her. As expected, most men in this world are not very hygienic...
.I still remember that the first time Jingyi appeared in front of her, he looked full of mud and dirty. That must be his essence! Thanks to Wenxi, she thought he was a gentle and elegant gentleman.
!
Jingyi's face turned red and white, and he hurriedly picked up the Huayangjin thrown in the corner, combed the Taoist priest's hair in three strokes, swept up his sleeves and collected all the food on the ground, "Sit inside
——" Then he noticed that he had a huge bare foot. Jingyi was embarrassed and quickly covered it with a Taoist robe. Unfortunately, the foot was too big and it covered the instep but not the toes.
Entering the bedroom, Xiao Shiba was asleep in it. Fortunately, the bedroom was clean, uh... But what are those greasy marks on her son's mouth... Think about it with your toes, it's a small dinner
Shiba also ate roast chicken!
Wen Xi suddenly thought of a key question: "Aren't Taoist monks monks? Can monks also eat meat?"
Jing looked normal and said, "Why not? Don't you know that there is a kind of Taoist priest called the Huoju Taoist priest? Not only can you eat meat, but you can also marry and have children!"
If the last sentence had a profound meaning, "Marry a wife and have children," Wen Xi just pretended not to hear it. Seeing that her son was doing well, she was relieved. Wen Xi saw that her son was sleeping soundly, so she did not wake him up and turned to her side.
Tucked in the quilt.
When Wen Xi turned around, Jing Yi found the shoes somewhere and put them on. Then he said to Wen Xi seriously: "Yinxi is getting better now. He wakes up two hours a day."
Yes, I have a good appetite tonight."
Wen Xi absolutely believed that he had a good appetite. She took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped Yinqian's greasy mouth.
When Jing saw that Wen Xi was listening silently, she hurriedly said, "Your wife came here two days ago."
Wen Xi was startled, "Here comes Bi'er?" But Wen Xi remembered that Bi'er was a Buddhist, so why did she come to the Taoist temple?
"No. It's your eldest wife." Jingyi corrected.
Oh, that's Gual Jia Yilan. This Taoist temple was built with funds from her parents' family, so it's normal to come and pay homage often. What's more, she is pregnant now and is looking forward to having a son.
Wen Xi took out a chubby and fluffy white ball from her arms and placed it next to Yinzhen's pillow. This little thing was Yinzhen's favorite pet, Snowball. It was a snow mastiff, only three months old, and was the eunuch of the kennel.
In order to please Yinzhen, it was given as a gift, but it was too small, so Yinzhen sneaked to Mulan and left it at his elder brother's house. Today, Wenxi also brought Snowball.
Seeing that Yinzhen was sleeping peacefully, Wen Xi felt relieved. She took out a box with a green jade auspicious cloud pattern from her sleeve. She placed it on the Eight Immortals table aside, pushed it to Jingyi, and then opened the lid of the box.
"This is -" Before seeing what was inside, Jingyi felt the overflowing spiritual energy and the cold air on his face, and suddenly took a breath of air: "Snow lotus? - No, thousand-year snow lotus!" After being surprised, he looked up at Wen.
Xi: "What do you mean?!"
Wen Xi smiled and said: "I've thought about it, but I don't have anything to thank you for." I'm afraid gold, silver, jewelry and other mundane things won't enter Jing Yi's eyes. I think only the medicinal materials in the space can be obtained.
.
Jing Yi's face changed, and his tone was not as gentle as before. He said with a bit of anger: "I didn't save Yin Zhen just to do something for you!" After saying that, he pushed the jade box back to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi's tone was gentle, but there was no room for rejection: "Keep it! I think this thing will be useful to you!" The snow lotus that Jingyi won in a bet with Kangxi last time was not as old as this one, and she was not used to it.
If she didn't come up with something decent to receive favors from others, let alone save her son's life, Wen Xi wouldn't be able to praise herself. However, she also knew Jing Yi's stubbornness, so she said, "Just think of it as Yin Xun's apprenticeship ceremony."
, it’s okay, right?”
Jingyi felt a little helpless: "You said it was a apprenticeship ceremony, so I can't refuse. It's just a thousand-year-old snow lotus. It's extremely precious. I'm afraid there won't be another one in the world. It's just..." Jingyi
After looking at Wen Xitong, he said, "I'm surprised as to why you recovered so quickly and reached the peak of the golden elixir. But at this time, you may have a breakthrough at any time, and you will need a lot of elixirs, so you'd better take this thing."
Let's go back."
Wen Xi asked hurriedly: "Do you mean to attack the Nascent Soul, as long as you have enough elixir?"
Jing nodded and said with a slightly solemn expression: "That's true. It sounds simple, but preparing enough elixirs is not an easy thing!"
Wen Xi immediately smiled, so she felt at ease. The snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, and ginseng in the space were in pieces, and she smiled and said: "Don't forget, my husband is the emperor, and I have plenty of elixirs in the world. Just take it."
Down!"
Seeing that Wen Xi's appearance didn't seem to be fake, Jingyi couldn't help but wonder. There were fewer and fewer magical medicines. Even the emperor couldn't collect too many, right? Could it be that he had been in seclusion for too long and didn't understand the world?
It was late at night, and it was inconvenient for Wen Xi to be out for too long. After saying a few words, he said goodbye to Jing Yi and slipped back to the palace.
It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's getting colder. There's snow all over the north.
Wen Xi was warming herself by the fire in her palace, but she was greeted by Kangxi's imperial edict, which was announced to the world after his establishment: the Ministry of Rites was entrusted with the empress dowager's loving instructions, and the imperial concubine Niu Hulu was of the filial nature and Shuyi Suzhu. She educated her sons.
She has been extremely kind and diligent. She should be made the queen to show her favor and favor. I appreciate this. The former nine ministers have repeatedly invited me to enthrone the middle palace. I have little thought in my heart and have postponed it. Now I only obey the order of my kindness and establish her.
The imperial concubine is the queen. When the ceremony is held, your ministry will discuss it and hear about it.
This is an edict to establish the empress. It is intended to order the Ministry of Rites to organize the ceremony for establishing the empress. It is not issued to Wen Xi, so it is not a formal edict to establish the empress. In the eyes of others, Kangxi's edict may only stir up a thousand waves with one stone.
, there was no news about it before, but when the prince was deposed, the eldest brother was banned, the eighth prince, and the fourteenth prince were imprisoned in the sect and the public were in a state of turmoil, an imperial edict ordering the Ministry of Rites to organize the ceremony of conferring the queen was enough.
It shocked countless people.
The establishment of a queen is not as easy as the appointment of a concubine. It is enough to issue an edict and canonize the concubine, but the process of conferring a queen is countless times more complicated. The next day, Kangxi sent officials to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the Taimiao. The ceremony for the establishment of the queen was scheduled for the fifth day of February next year, which is an auspicious day.
Although the canonization ceremony has not been officially held, Wen Xi's identity is already confirmed.
The queen's auspicious clothes, court clothes, court crowns, court beads and other items were then respectfully sent to Chengqian Palace. However, these clothes were not warm enough to wear, so she still wore the imperial concubine's court clothes to kowtow to the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace to express her gratitude.
Not only did Wen Xi come too late, but the concubine also came too early.
Wen Xi saluted as usual, "I send my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed forever!"
The Queen Mother looked at Wen Xi with complicated eyes now. The beginning of Kangxi's edict was "Following the Empress Dowager's Ci Edict", which meant that the decree of the Queen Mother came from the Queen Mother. However, in fact, Kangxi only informed the Queen Mother in advance as a courtesy, but
It was just a "notification". The Queen Mother could not afford the consequences of falling out with Kangxi.
The Queen Mother tried her best to show a gentle smile on her face, and said to Aunt Ji beside her: "Go and help the Queen up."
The concubines on the left and right suddenly looked at each other, with different expressions on their faces. Concubine Hui was now ten years old because of her son's affairs, and could no longer care about anything else. Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi turned pale, and the imperial edict had been issued.
No matter how powerless they are, what's more important is the attitude of the Queen Mother. Now that she calls the Imperial Concubine "Queen", it is obvious that they must also change their title.
Although Concubine Cheng was surprised, she was even more surprised. Her gentle status was a higher level, which was only good for her. Shen Ran had already become the first concubine under the new queen. The faces of the concubine Wang and Concubine Yi were similar, but the concubine Wang
The concubine's face was even uglier. Her son was still being held in the clan's mansion! Concubine Shen looked quite proud, and decided that she was a piece of wood. People looked at her nose and nose, and her heart remained calm. The traces of strangulation on the good concubine's neck were still there, so she
Never came.
Aunt Ji helped Wen Xi up politely, and Wen Xi said with a smile: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" Since the Queen Mother called her "Queen", Wen Xi naturally changed her name to Queen Mother.
Concubine Cheng took the lead and knelt down with Concubine Shen to salute: "I, my concubine, pay my respects to my master!"
Although the imperial concubine is the deputy concubine, she is still a concubine. Therefore, the concubine who is officially canonized does not need to kneel down. She only needs to kneel down when meeting the queen. The title "Master and Empress" is also exclusive to the queen.
, because the emperor is the "master" of the world, and the queen is naturally the "master and empress".
Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi also knelt down. The concubines Wang and Yi concubines behind them did not dare to do anything special, so they obediently bowed and said, "Long blessings, my master!"
Wen Xi accepted it with a smile, "Sisters, you're welcome." Although most of the concubines were older than her, no one dared to be the queen's "sister", so Wen Xi asked her elders to call her that, and she probably wouldn't.
If anyone had any objections, he glanced around and then said calmly: "Everyone has come very early, but I am too lazy, so please get back on your feet!"
The Queen Mother said seriously: "Although the canonization ceremony has not been performed, since the emperor has issued an order to the Ministry of Rites, he should follow the etiquette!"
The concubines naturally understand the etiquette mentioned by the Queen Mother. If there is a master in the middle palace, the concubines should go to the Queen to pay their respects first, and then the Queen will lead them to Cining Palace to pay their respects. Just because today's Kangxi decree was too sudden, the concubines have not yet
React!
The concubines who had just stood up had to kneel down again and said in unison: "Concubines, please remember the Queen Mother's teachings!"
Wen Xi said with a smile: "What the Queen said is that it's just that it's cold today, so there is no need to say hello every day, just once every five days." According to the rules, it is natural to say hello every day, but Wen Xi has been lazy these years.
Once you get used to it, you won't be able to work hard.
"I sincerely obey my master's decree!"
With gentle and pretty eyes, she looked at these concubines who were obediently changing like cats one by one. Sure enough, it was different that she was one level higher. As an imperial concubine, she did not have such high prestige. Once her prestige was established, naturally she had to give benefits. Her gentle smile was kind.
He said: "The harem has not been sealed for many years, and the sisters have not moved their positions for many years. I would like to take this opportunity to mention this matter to the emperor, so that everyone can rejoice together."
For a time, the concubines were all excited and eager to give it a try. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
