The weather is getting colder and colder, and the enthronement ceremony is getting closer. The Clothing Bureau sent the robes to be worn at the ceremony to Weiyang Palace. Several palace maids unfolded the phoenix robes, and Yu Nian's
His face was full of flattery: "My dear, look, are you satisfied with this dress? This time, we used the button embroidery method, and the phoenix embroidered looked even more dazzling. This embroidery method is the same as for slaves.
The embroiderers from the Shangyi Bureau have been learning from each other for a long time, and they are finally able to embroider the most perfect look of the phoenix."
Yun Shang slightly raised the corners of her mouth, walked up to Yu Nian, stretched out her hand to touch the phoenix embroidered on the phoenix robe, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "The embroidery is very beautiful, thank you for your trouble, manager. I have always heard from manager Yu before.
His superb skills in clothing embroidery are truly well-deserved.”
Yun Shang smiled and turned around to look at Qian Zui: "Reward."
Qian Zui saluted, stepped forward, took out a money bag from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Yu Nian's hand. Yu Nian's eyes flashed with joy, and he smiled so hard that he almost lost his sight: "This is what a slave should do.
, if your Majesty has any instructions, just ask the girls to come to the Clothing Bureau and give them."
After thanking him, he happily put down his phoenix robe and left.
Qianzui watched Yu Nian go away, then turned around and walked to the table and touched the phoenix robe placed on it. He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang and said, "Yu Nian is now considered a great lover to the empress."
She is very respectful and everyone praises the empress."
Qianliu also laughed when he heard this: "It's not just Yu Nian. Is there anyone in this palace who dares to say even a few words about the queen? Besides, the queen has a good temper, so she can win people's hearts."
Yun Shang lowered her eyebrows and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but with a bit of sarcasm: "This palace has always been like this, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior. But the more this happens, the less we can forget who our last names are.
Sometimes, this kind of flattery and this kind of favor, if it makes people forget themselves with pride, is a real weapon for killing people. You also remember, if the people around me are in such a situation, I will never tolerate it."
Several people responded quickly.
When Luo Qingyan returned to the palace, he saw the phoenix robe on the table. His eyes lit up and he walked over and touched it. Fang raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shang who was sitting on the soft couch reading a book: "This phoenix robe looks good."
, Shang'er, come and wear it for me to see."
Yun Shang rolled her eyes and ignored it.
Luo Qingyan simply took out the book in Yun Shang's hand, pulled Yun Shang up, and ordered Qian Zui and Qian Liu: "Open the phoenix robe and take a look."
"The phoenix robe is complicated, with a total of nine layers inside and outside. It takes more than half an hour to put it on. I don't want to bother with it. Moreover, the headdress and jewelry are not ready yet. The ceremony will be held in a few days. I will do it then.
See, isn't it the same?" Yun Shang simply acted like a fool, squatting on the ground and Luo Qingyan dragged her towards the table.
Luo Qingyan was a little dumbfounded when he saw this: "You are the queen, the mother of a country, how would you behave if someone saw you like this?"
"I don't care if it's decent or not, I just won't try it on for you to see." Yun Shang had no scruples about playing tricks.
Everyone in the room couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing. Luo Qingyan couldn't help but hold her forehead. She turned around and saw Hua'er standing at the door holding Chengye. Chengye bit his finger and looked at the two with interest.
people.
Luo Qingyan sighed and said to Chengye: "Chengye, come and laugh at your mother."
As soon as Luo Qingyan's words came out, Chengye really laughed. This smile didn't matter, but it made the palace people in the room who did not dare to laugh openly relax, and laughter suddenly filled Weiyang Palace.
But in the end, Luo Qingyan didn't succeed, so he had to give up angrily, curled his lips and said, "I will also see it."
Since there was not much time left for the grand ceremony, the palace gradually became busy. All the utensils, jewelry, and procedures for the ceremony had to be prepared one by one.
Yun Shang got up early every day to pay his respects to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then dealt with various palace affairs. After having nothing to do, he took a stroll in the imperial garden with Concubine Ning Emperor Jin. The days passed very quickly, and the day of the ceremony was here.
.
It's November 17th and it's already extremely cold.
Early in the morning, Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan were woken up to wash up and dress up.
Yun Shang was still a little confused and couldn't open his eyes, so he only heard Nanny Qi say: "We don't need to be in a hurry. In the early morning, Your Majesty needs to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship the ancestors, and then the Ministry of Rites will lead all the officials to deliver the edict of succession and the title of seal."
Afterwards, the imperial edict was sent to the Ancestral Temple together, and the altar issued an edict to heaven and ancestors. After they had finished worshiping, we went to the main palace gate to wait, with hundreds of officials lined up on both sides. His Majesty went to the bell tower first and rang the golden bell in person.
It means a new beginning. After His Majesty came down from the bell tower, Fang and the Queen walked along the avenue in front of the palace gate, walked all the way up the steps in front of the Tai Chi Hall, walked to the Tai Chi Hall, and sat down in the position of the Queen. His Majesty and the Queen
After the queen is seated, the ministers can enter the ceremony in order of rank and kneel down. Manager Liu will read out the edict of succession and the edict of the title of queen. After that, the ministers will congratulate each other, and then the ceremony will end. "
While Qianzhu was passing Qinyi the comb, he said, "Mama Qi has said these rules many times recently, and I have heard them no less than five times."
There was no expression on Nanny Qi's face: "If you talk more, you won't make any mistakes. Today is a big day for Your Majesty and Your Majesty, but we can't make any mistakes."
Yun Shang yawned and didn't seem to pay much attention. After a while, she asked casually: "Why do I feel that this ceremony is a little different from the last time the Queen Mother conferred the title of queen?"
Aunt Qi nodded: "It's different, because last time it was just a simple ceremony for conferring a queen, but today it's His Majesty's enthronement and conferment ceremony together, so it's different."
Yun Shang nodded slightly, and when she saw that the palace people around her looked stiff and serious, she couldn't help but laugh: "You are more nervous than me."
Everyone started laughing, and Qin Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you still want to joke, I am going to prepare a phoenix crown for your Majesty. The phoenix crown is a bit heavy, so I have to bear with it."
When Yun Shang heard this, her face suddenly fell: "I'm afraid that this neck will become useless by the end of the day."
Yun Shang was dressed and groomed properly, but she kept frowning: "This is really a torture, it only lasts for one day."
Aunt Qiu, on the other hand, poured cold water on her face with a smile: "That's not all. As a queen, every big day in the future, such as various grand ceremonies and sacrifices to heaven, will need to be so intense."
Yun Shang curled her lips, waved her hand and said, "Don't think about these troublesome things now. We'll talk about it today after hearing about it."
Just as he was saying this, he heard a babbling sound coming from outside the door, and Yun Changbie grinned: "Our little prince is here."
Hua'er walked in with Chengye in his arms. Chengye could already walk a long way by himself. As soon as he entered the house, Hua'er put Chengye down. Chengye walked towards Yun Shang, carrying
He looked at Yun Shang for a long time, then clapped his hands and laughed: "The queen is beautiful."
Everyone laughed: "Even the little prince said that the queen is beautiful, and your majesty will definitely not be able to take his eyes away later."
While they were talking and laughing, a report from the palace came from outside: "Queen, the phoenix chariot is already waiting outside our palace. It's time to go to the palace gate."
Yun Shang nodded. The headdress on her head was too heavy, and it was extremely difficult to even nod. Qinyi quickly stepped forward to help Yun Shang, while Qianzui and Qianliu helped Yun Shang straighten the long floor-length skirt of Fengpao.
Swinging, Yun Shangfang raised his feet and slowly walked out of Weiyang Palace.
The weather today is quite good, cloudless with a slight breeze. Although it is cold, it is still slightly warm because of the sunshine.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked at the blue sky, then she heard Aunt Qi's voice: "Get up."
The phoenix chariot swayed and was lifted up. Along the way, it passed the Imperial Garden, passed the Yuehua Gate, the Xingfu Gate, and the Ningshou Gate before arriving at the palace gate.
When Yun Shang arrived at the palace gate, she happened to see Luo Qingyan going up to the bell tower wearing a dark black dragon robe embroidered with a golden flying dragon. Yun Shang followed Luo Qingyan's back with her eyes, and put her hand on Qianliu and Qianzui's hands.
, got off the phoenix chariot. Luo Qingyan went up to the bell tower. Not long after, the bells rang, one after another, a full twelve times.
After the bells stopped ringing, Luo Qingyan walked down from the bell tower and walked towards Yun Shang. Yun Shang couldn't help but smile, looking at his figure, her heart was filled with shock.
She was born in the palace and grew up in the palace. She once hated the fighting in the palace and hated the scheming. She also thought about escaping with her mother. But now, she has experienced many things. After this day, she will
This means that she may have to be locked in these palace walls for the rest of her life. No matter the ups and downs, laughter or tears, they will all be witnessed by the palace. But at this moment, she watched Luo Qingyan walk towards her step by step.
, but she felt that she was extremely at ease in her heart. Even if she was locked up by this palace wall for the rest of her life, as long as he was by her side, she felt that everything was worth it.
Luo Qingyan had already walked in front of Yun Shang and smiled at Yun Shang, his eyes full of tenderness. Civil and military officials were already lined up on both sides, standing quietly with their heads lowered.
Luo Qingyan blinked and reached out to hold Yun Shang's hand.
"The Empress enters the Tai Chi Hall." Liu Wen'an's voice rang out and spread far away.
Yun Shang took a deep breath and was about to lift her feet when Luo Qingyan, who was holding her hand, suddenly squeezed her palm, making her almost jump in shock.
Yun Shang turned her eyes and saw Luo Qingyan standing beside her as if nothing had happened, with a calm expression, like any majestic emperor.
Yun Shang glared at him, and Luo Qingyan raised her lips and smiled. The two of them raised their feet together, walked through the long palace passage, stepped on the stairs, and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall. (To be continued.
