Yun Shang read for a while and then heard Peilan reporting from outside: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, with a bit of doubt on his face. Today is New Year's Eve, and we will see it at the palace banquet later. Why did Hua Ling make a special trip to Weiyang Palace? Could it be that there is something going on?
Discover?
Yun Chang thought in her heart, and quickly stood up, personally welcomed Hua Ling in, and then said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother has anything to do, just summon Chang'er, why did Sheng come here in person?"
Hua Ling smiled and glanced at everyone in the room. Yun Shang said quickly: "There are no outsiders in the room, mother, but what happened?"
Hua Ling nodded, looking at Yun Shang with a bit of worry in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "When I got up early, I overheard the Supreme Emperor talking to Yuan Bao about today's palace banquet. They
Just because he didn't know that I was awake, he said..."
Hua Ling paused slightly and glanced at Yun Shang.
Yun Chang quickly held Hua Ling's hand and said, "What did the father say? Even if the mother said so, Chang'er can bear it."
"I don't know what they said anymore. I only heard the Supreme Emperor saying something rude. Now that he has become the emperor, he is still acting willfully. How can there be only one person in the harem? If word spreads, others don't know how to laugh.
." Hua Ling was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Later, I didn't hear what Yuan Bao whispered clearly, but I only heard the Supreme Emperor saying that once this matter is exposed, I hope the Queen can take the initiative to speak out.
, there are some people in the harem."
Hua Ling frowned: "But I don't know what he is talking about anyway."
Yun Shang sneered, "He never gave up, trying every possible means to infiltrate His Majesty's harem. But he didn't know how to compare his feelings and think about what kind of situation he was in back then. No matter what, I couldn't let him succeed.
I am enough for Luo Qingyan's harem."
Hua Ling nodded lightly and was silent for a moment before reaching out to hold Yun Shang's hand and saying, "No matter what, there is no need to shrink back on this kind of thing."
Yun Shang nodded and agreed with a smile. She never thought that as Luo Qingyan's mother, Hua Ling would help her in this matter. Yun Shang was grateful in her heart and smiled.
Said: "I will."
Hua Ling talked with Yun Shang for a while and then returned to Taihe Palace.
After lunch, Yun Shang sat upright in front of the dressing mirror and let Qinyi, Aunt Qi, and Aunt Qiu comb her hair. First she did a high bun, and then she took out the phoenix crown.
"The New Year's Eve palace banquet is considered a more grand palace banquet. It is just a little more casual than a ceremony such as the Queen's Conferment Ceremony, so it only requires six dragons and three phoenix crowns." Aunt Qiu handed the phoenix crown to Aunt Qi.
, while explaining softly.
Yun Shang's eyes fell in the bronze mirror and saw the appearance of the phoenix crown. There were three dragons on the top of the crown. The dragon in the middle held a huge pearl in its mouth. The dragons on both sides faced outwards, forming a flying sky shape. The dragon's head held a long
Under the three dragons, there are three green phoenixes. The phoenixes are all in the shape of flying downwards. They also hold jewelry strings in their mouths, but they are slightly shorter than the dragon above the head. The other three dragons are decorated on the phoenix crown.
At the back, there is also a flying appearance. The bottom of the phoenix crown is decorated with various gemstones and beads, the dragon and phoenix are vivid in posture, and the jewelry is gold and green in color and radiant.
Aunt Qi put the phoenix crown on Yun Shang, fixed it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Mom, just shake your head and try to see if it's firm?"
Yun Shang shook her head as she was told, smiled and nodded gently: "It's pretty good."
After putting on the phoenix crown, I drank lightly before taking out the phoenix robe. The emperor's clothes were mostly bright yellow, but the queen's were pure red. The red phoenix robe was embroidered with golden silk thread on the edge. The phoenix robe was also decorated with
Three phoenixes are embroidered with wings spread, and the one on the back is particularly bright and beautiful. Its unparalleled tail stretches out, making it extremely luxurious. The chest is embroidered with a bunch of flowers, and the cuffs are embroidered with silver auspicious cloud patterns, and are tied with gold silk and jade.
The girdle and the clothes made people dare not look at her.
"The empress is of unparalleled elegance. With this body, even the gods in the sky will be taken away from her soul." Qian Zui said with a smile. He took out the makeup coffin and picked out gold dangle earrings for Yun Shang to wear.
I took rouge and gouache and asked Qin Yi to apply makeup on Yun Shang.
Yun Shang glanced at the person in the bronze mirror and smiled: "You have become more and more proficient in your complimenting skills." After saying that, he raised his hand and touched the earrings on his ears, thinking of
Hua Ling said something in the morning, with a bit of fierceness in her eyes: "According to my many years of experience, there will always be some unexpected things in this kind of palace banquet. I hope that today
It can be smoother."
Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled and said, "Just relax, my queen. Besides, is there anything in this world that my queen can't solve?"
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. She turned around and looked at Qin Yi and then at Qian Zui: "Qin Yi's skill in praising people was obviously learned from Qian Zui, but there is a tendency for someone to outshine others.
"
Qianzui and Qinyi both laughed, and took out a dark red cloak with a golden phoenix embroidered on it and put it aside. Only then did Qianzui respond with a smile: "There is a saying, it's like teaching a disciple to starve to death."
Master, now that Aunt Qinyi is so powerful, this slave is really going to fall out of favor."
The master and the servants laughed in unison, and just as they were laughing heartily, the bead curtain was lifted. Before anyone came in, Luo Qingyan's voice came in: "I heard your master and servants laughing from afar.
I have to be happy. It makes me happy to talk about anything."
Everyone hurriedly saluted, and after drinking for a while, they smiled and said to Luo Qing: "Your Majesty, look, the empress is wearing this phoenix robe and this phoenix crown. Isn't she magnificent? I just told the truth, and the empress will
I joked to my slave that I am good at complimenting others."
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on Yun Shang, with a bit of gentleness, he looked at Yun Shang for a long time, and then smiled and said: "My wife is always beautiful no matter where she is.
The way I dress up today has already won the world over."
As soon as Luo Qingyan finished speaking, the room was quiet for a long time before he heard Qian Zui burst out laughing, but a series of laughter followed immediately: "I finally found the source, why?
I'm getting better at praising the Queen, and it's not all brought about by Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help lowering her head and laughing. Luo Qingyan listened to the jokes, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He took Yun Sang's hand and took Yun Shang into his arms: "The palace banquet is about to begin.
Now, we have to prepare to go to Tai Chi Hall."
Yun Shang came back to her senses, turned around and looked at Luo Qingyan, frowned slightly and asked: "Your Majesty is returning to Weiyang Palace at this time. Could it be that he came specially to pick up my concubine to Tai Chi Palace?"
Luo Qingyan nodded, and the smile in his eyes became brighter: "This is the first palace banquet that I, as the emperor, and you, as the queen, have attended."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Yun Shang understood that he was worried about her being scared.
Yun Shang smiled and stood up: "Okay, let's go there together."
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Taiji Palace together. The courtiers were already waiting in the palace. Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling also brought the concubines and concubines waiting at the entrance of the palace. After Luo Qingyan arrived, Liu Wen'an sang
: "Your Majesty has arrived."
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walking up to the throne step by step, and the corners of her mouth curled up, that was her husband.
Just as Yun Shang was thinking about it, she heard Liu Wen'an's voice ringing again: "The Queen has arrived."
Yun Shang quickly withdrew her gaze, held Qian Zui's hand, straightened her back, and slowly walked into the Tai Chi Hall. In the Tai Chi Hall, all the ministers knelt on the ground. Yun Shang led the people in the harem and walked for a long time before leaving.
He walked next to Luo Qingyan at the entrance of the palace.
"May your Majesty be blessed, may the Queen be blessed for a thousand years." The voices of everyone rang out in the Tai Chi Hall. Yun Shang looked at the people in the hall, feeling a little surging in her chest. No wonder everyone wants to climb to this position.
, the mood of accepting the worship of everyone here is completely different from that of kneeling before His Highness.
"Ping Shen." Luo Qingyan's faint voice came from Yun Shang's right. Yun Shang turned her eyes, smiled with Luo Qingyan, and then slowly sat down.
The courtiers also returned to their respective positions. Yun Shang's eyes scanned the hall lightly. Most of the courtiers also brought their families, and most of them were accompanied by a beautiful young woman. Among them, they planned to:
It's self-evident.
Yun Shang seemed to have not seen him, and only looked away lightly.
Liu Wen'an had already served the wine, and Luo Qingyan picked up the wine glass and raised his voice: "Today is New Year's Eve, when we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, I would like to offer you three cups of heaven and earth again, praying for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, good weather, and a good harvest in the coming year."
Luo Qingyan raised his wine glass and poured all the wine in the glass onto the ground, three glasses in a row.
Everyone in the hall hurriedly raised their hands and drank: "May the country be peaceful and the people be safe, with good weather and good harvests in the coming year."
Then Liu Wen'an offered wine to Yun Shang. Yun Shang quickly took the wine, turned around, and said with a soft smile: "I would like to drink a glass to your majesty. I am willing to live in harmony with your majesty and your husband. We will raise our eyebrows together and grow old together."
Luo Qingyan's eyes were also full of affection. He took the wine glass, but only responded in a voice that could be heard by the two of them: "I agree with my wife."
Yun Shang laughed when he heard this, and the two of them raised their heads and drank the wine.
Then they took the wine from the table together and said to the courtiers and concubines in the palace: "I, together with the queen, would like to toast you all. I hope that you and I, the emperor and the empress, will stand together through thick and thin and protect these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"Together we will protect thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." Everyone stood up and their voices were sonorous and powerful.
Luo Qingyan smiled and said: "It's done."
After everyone drank the wine together, the palace music started, playing a song of prosperity and prosperity.
The palace banquet on New Year's Eve has begun. (To be continued)
