The magnolia branches outside Changyi Hall are already in bud. Wen Xiaotu is holding the mutton-fat jade and watching the flower room eunuch transplanting flowers and trees. There are two Xifu crabapples as thick as a bowl, a green pine that looks like a welcoming guest, and peonies.
There are more than a dozen kinds of roses, hibiscus, etc. This year’s Changyi Palace will definitely be filled with lush flowers and trees.
Little Yuanbao was instructing the eunuchs in the flower room to dig holes, add fertilizer, and cultivate soil, and they were very busy.
At this time, Yongxiang sent Wen Xiaotu's auspicious clothes and crown.
It is said that the production cycle is really not short. In fact, the Jifu is not bad. Just use the specially made Zhai pattern brocade by the brocade department, and then match it with the finely embroidered Xiapei. What really takes time and effort is the Jiguan.
The crowns of the concubines of this dynasty were roughly made in the Song Dynasty. The Ji crown was a Zhai crown made of gold and silk. Because the crown was decorated with many pearls and emeralds, it was also called a Pearl Crown. The size and weight of the Zhai crown, and the Zhai bird used
There are strict regulations on the number of the nine concubines, which cannot be exceeded. The crown of the nine concubines is called the Zhucui Qizhai crown, which is decorated with seven Zhai birds. Each Zhai bird is inlaid with red jewels, surrounded by green auspicious clouds, flowers and trees, and thousands of Zhai birds.
The peony leaves are inlaid with hundreds of large and small pearls, and the decoration is extremely luxurious. No wonder the construction took so long.
"The Construction Department works day and night. Yesterday, I just finished making the crown of pearls and emeralds. After my servant checked it, I sent it to you right away! My Majesty, are you satisfied with it?" Eunuch Xu, the leader of the Construction Department, smiled.
Flattery.
Wen Xiaotu nodded and said, "The construction department has done its best." He rewarded the eunuch with ten taels of silver and asked him to leave.
After dismissing the outsiders, Bi Xin couldn't help but said excitedly: "Is this Feng Guan Xia Pei? This is the first time I have seen it!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled, the Xiapei was a real Xiapei, embroidered to look like clouds, but this crown was not a phoenix crown.
Wen Xiaotu stroked the Zhai bird on the Zhai crown: "During folk weddings, newlywed women are said to also wear phoenix crowns." - It is actually Zhai Guan, but because the Zhai bird resembles a phoenix, it was mistakenly called
Phoenix crown. Although not everyone is qualified to wear this Zhai crown, no one will hold a woman accountable for violating the rules on her wedding day.
Strictly speaking, the Zhai crown is a crown that only a married woman is qualified to wear. And she is now considered a married woman, but she is an internal married woman.
The princesses, the duchess's wife, and the emperor's wife were married women with foreign orders, and they were also qualified to wear Zhai crowns. However, the specifications and formats were different depending on their rank.
Wen Xiaotu asked Zhai Guan to hold it up with his hands, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so heavy!" On the day of the canonization, he was afraid that it would strain his neck.
Hongguo couldn't help but laugh and said: "The ninth concubine, the crowned empress, dislikes her. If she becomes a concubine in the future, what will she do?"
Bi Xin also smiled and said: "Yes, in a few days, the empress, Empress Lu, and Empress Xin will hold the ceremony together. Empress Xin will not disdain the fourth concubine's auspicious crown."
Hong Guo came forward and said, "Slaves, please serve the queen and dress her up so that you can try to see if they fit you properly."
Bi Xin also looked eager to try.
They are all measured first and then customized. Will it still not fit? I think you two want to play dress-up games.
However, looking at the beautiful clothes and hat, Wen Xiaotu didn't resist. The concubine's auspicious dress is a blue-bottomed colorful Zhaiyi, with crimson embroidered dragons on the collar and five-color auspicious clouds - yes, although the concubine
You can’t use a phoenix, but you can use a dragon pattern! So this Jifu is gorgeous and grand, and with a heavy pearl crown on it - it’s like a walking RMB!
Wen Xiaotu turned around twice and said, "Well, it's not bad." Then he took off Zhai Guan, put it back on the table, and rubbed his neck.
Hongguo smiled and said, "In a few days, when Lu Chongyi's uniform is ready, we still have to go to Xuanyi Hall to perform."
"Performance?" Wen Xiaotu was stunned for a moment, "Uh... we still need to rehearse?"
Bi Xin nodded: "Yes, you must not make any mistakes on the day of canonization, so you must practice in advance and be proficient."
Wen Xiaotu: So troublesome?!
"Eh? Lu Chongyi's Zhai clothes and Zhai crown haven't been made yet?" Wen Xiaotu asked hurriedly.
Hong Guo whispered: "The construction department didn't dare to neglect the imperial robes of the empress and empress Xin. They were almost completed in one piece. Lu Chongyi's Zhai guan...but the Zhai robe has already been made."
Wen Xiaotu snorted, "People like these in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the best at picking out the dishes."
Bi Xin hurriedly consoled her: "Fortunately, the auspicious crowns of the empress and empress Xin have been made. The construction department now has enough manpower, so they will be able to make the Lu Chongyi Zhai crown in a short time. Don't worry, the construction department does not dare to miss the auspicious date of the canonization."
"
Yes, the date of canonization is set on the auspicious day of the first day of March, and after the canonization ceremony, it will be her eighteenth birthday.
Hongguo said with a smile: "The birthday I mentioned is coming soon. This is your first birthday after becoming the queen, so you must plan it well."
It costs money to organize it well! Wen Xiaotu said: "Forget it, I've already made people jealous enough, so don't make a big deal about my birthday." - It can also save some money. In addition, after finishing the registration gift,
She really didn't want to go through all the trouble, so she might as well keep it simple.
After taking off Xiapei and Zhai's clothes, Wen Xiaotu lay down on the imperial concubine's couch. He pulled the mutton-fat jade into his arms and stroked it with its hair. Just as he was about to take a nap, Liang Wankuan ran in in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
Here it comes! Long Yu has arrived at Yimen!"
Wen Xiaotu:...Why did your aunt come to see me during this period?!
Wen Xiaotu's face became more and more irritable, but she had no choice but to hold on to her dissatisfaction and stand up to greet him. She walked out of the main hall door and saw His Majesty the Emperor walking onto the platform.
Emperor Mingzhao seemed to be in a good mood. He helped Atu, who was bowing down in greeting, but found that his Atu seemed to be in a bad mood, "What's going on? Who made you unhappy again?"
Wen Xiaotu: You!
But he could only force out a smile on his face: "I have been unclean for the past two days, why is the emperor here?" - Isn't this something that the ancients were taboo about?
"I know this." I wanted to continue looking through the brands last night, but found that the Zhaoyi Wen family's brand was missing. Needless to say, it must be Yue Xin.
Ming Zhaofu smiled again and said: "I heard that the Construction Department has sent Zhai clothes and Zhai crowns to your door. You can put them on and show them to me."
Wen Xiaotu: Fuck your sister! I just took it off!!
It's a pity that she couldn't say "no" to this matter. Four maids with red fruits, green hearts, drizzle and Xiaohan surrounded her. They were busy working with their hands, and put Zhai clothes and Zhai crowns on her body.
Wen Xiaotu:(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
She was also forced to walk around in circles in front of the emperor to show off her clothes.
"Not bad!" The emperor nodded obviously, but suddenly found out, why is Atu's face so smelly?
"What's wrong with you today?" Ming Zhao asked in confusion, "Others would go crazy with joy when they put on such a uniform, but you look unhappy."
Wen Xiaotu could only say feebly: "My concubine's back has been very sore these past two days."
After hearing this, Ming Zhao's face turned red. He hurriedly coughed twice, and then waved his hand: "Everyone, step back!" - Ah Tu was also like this. How could he say such a thing in front of the slaves below?
?!
Ah, I forgot to post this chapter on time, so I’ll make it up as soon as possible
