When it was almost dawn, Ji Ling felt vaguely that Yinzhen had gotten up.
She turned over and tried to get up after him, but she was so sleepy that she barely raised her head and fell down again.
In the hazy state, she felt a heat on her cheek, as if Yinzhen had kissed her cheek gently, patted her waist, and asked her to sleep a little longer with a smile.
She didn't sleep for long before she was rescued.
There was some chaos in the Nuan Pavilion. Qixi brought people in to wait on her. On this end, Ji Ling was washing up. On the other end, Qixi had quickly put away all the scattered things around. When she turned around, she saw that the master had pushed away the white gold basin.
I took the dry hand towel and wiped my face.
She began to help the imperial concubine dress.
The imperial concubine's clothes, even the regular clothes, are extremely gorgeous - there are gold threads and sea dragon edges on the skirt, red woven gold longevity satin on the top, and azurite dragon-shaped satin on the bottom. When wearing it, the gold woven satin on it
The silver threads rustled, and the small pieces of jewelry decoration rubbed against each other, like dazzling lights hitting each other.
After getting dressed, in the Nuan Pavilion, the Imperial Concubine began to put on makeup.
Outside, Evian took advantage of the time and asked the dining room to start delivering breakfast to the table.
This has always been the preference of the Imperial Concubine—it is said that the food should be served first so that it can cool down without burning it.
The third princess got up early and came into the Nuan Pavilion without saying a word. She sat on the edge of E Niang's bed, swinging her legs happily, holding her chin with both hands, watching E Niang dress up.
Ji Ling has packed up everything - today is the second day after the Jin Dynasty was granted the title. According to the etiquette, she must thank the emperor and the empress. If there is still a queen mother in the palace, she will also go to the queen mother's palace to listen to the old man's admonishment.
but none.
So you only need to visit Kunning Palace and Yangxin Palace.
After Ji Ling had his meal, he put on some makeup and led others out of the Chengqian Palace gate.
The imperial concubine's Zhai Yu is about two feet nine inches wide and four feet sixty-one inches high. There are copper-engraved gold Zhai patterns on both ends of the shoulder pole. The whole body is yellow, with golden clouds and Zhai birds painted on it. There is a golden dome in the middle to carry the Zhai.
The number of maids is eight, and the others are no different from the queen's maids.
Xiao Fenzi stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain, and Ji Ling sat in. In the middle of the carriage, the cushions were made of golden cloud satin. As far as the eye could see, it was also golden. In addition to the golden chairs, there were also golden square tables.
It can hold some tea, food, books, sundries, etc.
There are even two small drawer-like designs thoughtfully added underneath.
Ji Ling conveniently put in the makeup powder and lipstick cream that she had brought out in small porcelain jars.
She stretched her legs comfortably, but her toes could not even touch the door curtain - the space inside the Zhai Yu was really large, much larger than that of the imperial concubine.
Ji Ling lifted the curtains and nodded to Qixi, signaling that it was time to set off.
The imperial concubine Zhai Yu was slowly lifted up.
In the palace road, there were many palace people and low-ranking concubines who had already respectfully stepped aside and moved out of the way when they saw that it was the imperial concubine who was traveling in honor.
The imperial concubine Zhai Yu came slowly. The eunuch who was the leader of Chengqian Palace in the front staggered slightly, but his back was straight and his lips were slightly pursed.
Behind him are two little eunuchs, one on the left and one on the right, holding red ox-yak whisks in their hands, forming a pair.
Further back, the palace maid held a gold incense burner, a gold incense box, a gold wash basin, a gold water bowl, a gold vase...
These are considered the front troops of the ceremony. After the ceremony, the imperial concubine Zhai Yu officially arrives.
The palace people knelt on both sides and smelled a faint fragrance on Zhaiyu. The smell was very similar to that in the Yangxin Palace. When they looked up, they saw that directly above Zhaiyu, the imperial concubine, there was a bright yellow satin embroidered Seven Phoenix song cover, covering Zhai.
The public security guard is tight.
Further back, there are two satin embroidered umbrellas, two red satin embroidered auspicious grass umbrellas, two black satin embroidered auspicious grass umbrellas...
This is not over yet, there are two pairs of black Luo embroidered feather fans, two pairs of golden cloud satin plain fans, lying melons, standing melons, my battle...
Several noble people, Chang Zai, knelt beside him, their eyes widened as they watched, and their hearts pounded for a while.
In front of Kunning Palace, there was a deserted and lonely place, and the ground was covered with red. When Zhai Yu stopped, Ji Ling didn't even realize that he was already at Kunning Palace?
She supported Qixi and Bixue's men as they got off the sedan. She raised her head and looked at the three characters "Kunning Palace" in front of her.
The sun is shining brightly outside, and it is obviously a good time for spring to bloom. In the Forbidden City, birds are constantly flying over the blue sky, and there is a fragrance of birdsong and flowers.
In front of Kunning Palace, she felt an inexplicable chill, similar to the cold and desolate feeling in late autumn and early winter.
Xiao Fenzi glanced at her master, saw Ji Ling nodded to him, and then went up and knocked on the door of Kunning Palace.
After a long time, I heard vague movement inside, and then someone hurriedly opened the palace door a crack, and the little eunuch inside looked out through the crack in the door with one eye.
Qixi and Bixue supported Ji Ling. When the master and servant saw this, they all said:...
I don’t know if the little eunuch had bad eyesight. The moment he saw the imperial concubine Huang Zhaiyu through the crack of the door, he actually thought she was the emperor’s chariot. He immediately pushed the door open, knelt down and knelt on the ground, his voice filled with emotion.
It was ecstasy and excitement: "This slave greets the Emperor! May the Emperor be blessed!"
Xiao Fenzi stepped forward, her tone was quite polite, she helped him up and said, "Look carefully."
The little eunuch was startled when he heard this. He put his hands on the ground and slowly looked up. When he saw the hem of the imperial concubine's skirt, he suddenly realized.
Ji Ling saw the disappointment on his face that could not be concealed.
"This servant pays my respects to Concubine Huang. May the Concubine Huang be blessed with peace of mind!" The little eunuch kowtowed.
Qixi watched this situation from the side and guessed that the emperor had not been here for a long time.
What kind of expectations do the people inside have to have to see a bit of golden color, and think of it as the emperor's bright yellow chariot? They are so ecstatic that they don't even have time to distinguish carefully, and just kowtow?
Xiao Fenzi said quickly: "The imperial concubine's promotion ceremony was completed yesterday, and today I came here to express my gratitude to the empress."
The little eunuch climbed up, nodded, and went in to make the announcement. Because Ji Ling was now of high status, he did not dare to neglect. Before he could wait for the queen's response, he had already ordered someone to open the palace door.
We can't let the Imperial Concubine just stand waiting at the palace gate.
The huge Kunning Palace door slowly opened, just as a gust of wind blew up, blowing up the fallen leaves in the courtyard and blowing dust in front of people.
In front of the palace gate, Qixi quickly raised her sleeves and blocked Ji Ling's face.
Everyone retreated.
The little eunuch came back soon and asked the imperial concubine to come in.
Ji Ling raised her feet and walked in.
From a distance, she had seen Ulanara, dressed in the queen's court uniform, standing in the main hall of Kunning Palace, not moving, just looking at her quietly and coldly.
From Ulanara's point of view, when the imperial concubine walked in, the warm spring sun was shining on her face from the side, making it even more apparent that her face was as soft as jade, and her demeanor was gentle and peaceful.
It’s strange, it’s such a beautiful piece of jade covered in dust, why had I been so careless before?
He even thought of letting her restrain Concubine Nian - pushing her in front of the emperor.
This push, that favor, lasted ten years.
Ulanara curled his lips in self-mockery, closed his eyes in pain, and then opened them again.
She looked at the imperial concubine who was walking slowly and was surrounded by everyone.
In the Qing Dynasty, the only people who could actually wear bright yellow were the emperor, the queen and the empress dowager. The rest of the imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, Chang Zai, etc. were not qualified to wear bright yellow.
If it is worn, it is transgression.
Ulanara looked at Ji Ling's body covered in golden color.
Golden yellow has a slightly more red tone than bright yellow, which is the red tone of joy and happy events.
Ulanara's heart suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
She had never felt so hopelessly and helplessly in a moment: the imperial concubine was the real mistress of this palace, this Qing harem.
And she, the daughter of the Ulanara family... the so-called Queen of the Middle Palace, is already a guest.
