In the blink of an eye, A Luo's hair-raising ceremony has arrived.
On this day, all high-ranking officials from the capital came to the palace to watch the ceremony. All of A Luo's classmates and friends also accepted the invitation and happily entered the palace.
The emperor, who loved his daughter as much as his fate, simply took a day off to accompany Princess Aluo and left all political affairs to the cabinet ministers.
When Eunuch Wei went to the cabinet to announce the decree, the expressions on the faces of several cabinet elders were not very good.
Eunuch Wei ignored it and said with a smile: "After the hairpin ceremony is completed, there will be a palace banquet in the palace today. There will be political memorials and the like, so you will have to work hard."
Once you put aside your feelings, it will last for a day!
As the chief assistant, Mr. Lu Ge responded without hesitation.
As soon as Eunuch Wei left, Mr. Fang Ge couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor is gentle and generous, decisive in his actions, and loves the people like his son. He can be called a wise king. Only he loves his wife and daughter too much."
It's not just indulgence, it's simply too much pampering!
There is only one queen in the harem, and she is a majestic emperor who never messes with two people. He teaches Princess Aluo carefully, plans patiently, and even plans to pass the throne to her daughter...
It can be said that it has never been done before, and if you think about it, it will be unprecedented.
After Zhao Gelao turned against him, he always stood on the emperor's side. Hearing this, he immediately ridiculed: "Fangge Lao has many complaints, why don't you directly remonstrate with the emperor? What kind of ability can you only whisper behind his back?"
Mr. Fang Ge: "..."
Mr. Fang Ge was so choked that he almost rolled his eyes.
Why didn't he want to remonstrate directly? But the emperor became determined after eating the weights, and more and more officials followed the emperor waving flags and shouting. Princess Aluo's entry into the court was unstoppable, and he was not stupid, so why would he jump out and be a villain!
Mr. Lu Ge coughed and smoothed things over: "Today is the ceremony of Princess Duanrou and her hairpin. The Emperor only has a beloved daughter, Her Royal Highness, so it is reasonable to accompany her to watch the ceremony. We are deeply favored by the Holy Spirit, and it is appropriate for us to share the Emperor's worries."
Mr. Yan Ge agreed with a smile: "What Mr. Lu Ge said makes sense."
Mr. Li Ge glanced at Mr. Lu Ge, who had a righteous look on his face and spoke righteously, and he hummed in his heart.
They are all old foxes who have been in the court for decades and have been separated from each other. Who still doesn’t know who?
Mr. Lu Ge was originally firmly opposed to A Luo's entry into the government. Seeing that the situation was unstoppable, Mr. Lu Ge's attitude also changed appropriately.
It’s no wonder! Seeing that the Lu family is about to have a prince’s consort, who might be able to bring great honor and dignity to the family like Empress Xie in the future, Old Fox Lu doesn’t know how happy he is...
Mr. Li Ge cursed in his heart and smiled: "Yes, I won't waste time. Bring the memorial and we will discuss it together."
…
Haircut ceremony is the most important day in a girl's life.
When a girl has a hairpin, it means that a girl has reached adulthood and can get married as a wife and mother.
Of course, when you get to Princess Aluo, you don't get married, but you leave the palace and open a mansion to recruit a consort...
During the lively and solemn hairpin ceremony, Princess Mei, who had not been seen in public for a long time, served as the guest of honor and gave her granddaughter Aluo her hairpin.
On this day, the dress had to be changed three times and hairdos had to be added three times. As a guest of honor, there were not many things to do. However, Concubine Mei's body had always been delicate, and the female relatives watching the ceremony were secretly worried about Concubine Mei.
.
At such a grand and important moment, Mrs. Mei must not make a show like fainting on the spot.
No wonder people think so.
Concubine Mei has been ill for more than a year and is quite thin. She applied makeup and powder today, but her complexion doesn't look any better. A gust of wind can blow away Concubine Mei's worries.
On the other hand, Mr. Gu Shanchang, who is more than ten years older than Concubine Mei, has a rosy complexion and is full of energy.
Sheng Hong, who came to watch the ceremony in person, also had some regrets.
Ah Luo was getting her haircut just once in her life, so she should have chosen a healthy guest. The choice he made out of selfish motives to protect his mother's face and dignity, now seems to be really unwise.
When Ah Luo was changing into her third dress, Mrs. Mei couldn't stand it anymore after standing for a long time, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.
Xie Mingxi calmly took two steps forward and reached out to support Mrs. Mei.
Concubine Mei trembled and glanced at Xie Mingxi with a complicated expression.
Since the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law completely fell out, they have been as respectful to each other as ice. This is the first time they have had such physical contact. It is no exaggeration to say that Mrs. Mei has neither the strength nor the courage to fall out in public. Otherwise, I'm afraid,
He wanted to throw away Xie Mingxi's hand on the spot.
"Concubine, stand firm," Xie Mingxi reminded softly: "At least I can survive A Luo's hairpin ceremony."
Concubine Mei calmed herself down and hummed softly.
Chief Gu Shan was relieved.
Sheng Hong felt relieved. With Xie Mingxi's support, Mrs. Mei could always survive the wedding ceremony. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so close in front of the female relatives, which also broke the rumors of discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
After a while, A Luo came out after changing into a dress.
A Luo, wearing a scarlet dress, has bright eyes and teeth, is beautiful and charming.
What is more eye-catching than her beautiful face is the confidence and calmness in A Luo's eyebrows, as well as the splendid bearing of a superior person.
This is not only the beloved daughter of the empress, but also the most noble princess of Da Qi and the future crown prince of Da Qi.
Xie Mingxi watched her daughter slowly approaching with concentration. At that moment, endless pride and joy filled her heart. Sheng Hong's surging emotions were even worse than Xie Mingxi's.
The couple's eyes met and they smiled at each other.
…
After the haircut ceremony is completed, there is a grand palace banquet.
Concubine Mei survived the hair-raising ceremony, her physical strength and energy were exhausted, and she regretfully missed the palace banquet. She returned to Hanxiang Palace with the support of the maids.
Today, in the Jiaofang Hall, there is constant music, singing and dancing, wine and delicacies flowing, and laughter and laughter.
But Hanxiang Palace is still calm and lonely.
Suddenly returning from the hustle and bustle to the lonely and deserted Hanxiang Palace, there was a huge gap. Concubine Mei lay on the bed in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qin Se felt sorry for her master and said softly: "The concubine has been busy for a long time, so she must be tired and hungry. I will order people to pass the food to the concubine and serve the concubine."
Concubine Mei whispered: "There is no need to rush to pass the meal. Qinse, I am a little confused. Sit over and talk to me."
Master and servant have been masters and servants for decades, and their relationship is as deep as that of family members. When talking in private, there are no rules in the palace.
Qin Se responded and sat beside the bed.
Mrs. Mei's pale and tired face came into view.
Over the past year or so, Mrs. Mei has become very old, with wrinkles on her forehead and around her eyes, and a lot of white hair on her head.
Qin Se looked sad and said in a low voice: "My Majesty, I saw it today too. Princess Aluo is very good... What the Emperor and the Queen want to do, I can't stop, and Her Highness the Princess will also be unhappy. Why should I do it anymore?"
Hold on to this energy."
"Your Majesty, please open your mind and accept it happily!"
