After a while, Emperor Chunjia walked in, surrounded by eunuchs.
Consorts had to go to Yan Fu Palace and then to Mian Fu Palace to pay respect, and then they could come here after dismissed concubines. After that, it was almost noon, and the Emperor had finished his morning meeting for a while.
At this moment, he put on his casual clothes: a sapphire-blue brocade robe with flowers whose branches were woven with gold lines, a white jade crown engraved with auspicious clouds, a broad white jade belt inlaid with a gold eagle and a bear around the waist where a colorful silk braid was tied with a pair of emerald rings, and a sachet that was not exquisite hung on it. He looked handsome and charming.
“How does His Majesty have the time to come here?” The Emperor let them rise and then he sat down on the throne given by the Empress, and ordered the consorts to return to their seats. Beside the Emperor, some smart maids had arranged a pair of chairs fo
The Emperor watched the fun originally. At this moment, he paused, stared at the Cai Nv and seemed to be obsessed. However, just a moment, he turned to be calm, and immediately noticed the Empress’s movement, and then he smiled slightly, “Empress Ji?”“Your Majesty, this kind of beauty is rare in the Imperial Harem.” Empress Ji thought quickly and smiled, “Even if she was born in a poor family, it’s a pity for her to start with a Cai Nv. How about promoting her as a Feng Yi?”She did not intend to lower her voice deliberately when she said this, so, people in the hall heard it clearly. Regardless of those consorts, the eight Cai Nv were somewhat shocked. Obviously, they had learnt a lot these days in Xiu Zhuo Palace, and knew that it was very difficult to be a Feng Yi at the beginning.Among them, that gorgeous girl was stunned, and bowed her head subconsciously. Nobody knew whether she was shy, or she wanted to hide her expression of ecstasy.
After a while, the former maid came back to tell Yun Fenghuang that new concubines were waiting outside.“It’s too hot today. Call them in.” Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang sipped tea and commanded with a smile.Soon, a line of concubines in colorful clothes came in.Yi Xing’en, who had been famous in the Imperial Harem in the past two days, stood in front of others. Although the girl behind her was less beautiful than Yi Xing’en, she was also charming and cute. It was Qu Hongzhuan that Wei Hengyan mentioned.Although the others were all beautiful women in the eyes of ordinary people, they were still inferior to Yi Xing’en and Qu Hongzhuan.Obviously, all the Cai Nv had learned the etiquette of saluting the hostess. After entering the hall, they lowered their heads, walked slowly in an obedient manner to the red steps, knelt down and said sweetly, “Jie Yu Mao, wish you young and lucky forever!”“Rise.” Yun Fen
When the two entered the chamber in the evening, Yun Fenghuang was still angry.The Emperor felt happy when he saw her gloomy face, but he didn’t care about it. As undressing her, he deliberately teased her, “I said that the two were blind, but you didn’t believe it! You are the most decisive one. Have you been soft-hearted since joining the Imperial Harem? However, when I said that Yi Xing’en and Qu Hongzhuan should not be selected to the Imperial Harem, you got angry. It can be seen that because they are disabled, you feel pity!”“Yes. I feel so pity for them!” Yun Fenghuang patted his hand away and hummed, “I am not in the mood for you, Your Majesty. You can come to other sisters!”Emperor Chunjia did not force her, stopped his move, and stretched his head to kiss her. He continued to tease her with excitement, “No. First, it is too late, and I am too lazy to move; second, you are in a bad mood. How could I leave?”Yun Fenghuang
According to the tacit understanding of paying respect in the Imperial Harem, concubines, who did not have hostesses or whose hostesses were not available, came first, and then hostesses would arrive at the moment when the Empress was ready.However, these hostesses did not arrive together. They came one after another according to their grade. Yun Fenghuang lived in Xuan Qing Palace where many prominent figures had lived, naturally not far away from Yan Fu Palace where the Empress lived.But because she was just a Jie Yu now, she could arrive a little later than concubines, but must appear before such people as Noble Consort Shu, Consort Xin and Fu Ren Yaoning arrived. Otherwise, she would be considered arrogant.So it was not too late for her when she set out. After a few steps out of Xuan Qing Palace, she saw that a group of people not far away walked along the palace road. They surrounded a sedan which had the similar regulations as that of
Since Noble Consort Gui announced that she was pregnant, she had been exempted from paying respect by Queen Mother Ji and Empress Ji. She could concentrate on pregnancy in Yan Lan Palace. No matter when Xin Qing’s body was found in the pool she usually walked around, the summer banquet was held, or all consorts contended for such gorgeous Cai Nv as Yi Xing’en these two days, she did not appear in person.She should walk out of Yan Lan Palace now...Noble Consort Shu and Consort Xin looked at each other, and then left Yun Fenghuang and Jie Yu Jia to greet.“I have stayed in Yan Lan Palace for several days, and suddenly want to come out.” Noble Consort Gui, who didn’t get off the carriage because she was pregnant, lifted the curtain to speak to them. She said softly, “In addition, since there are new concubines in the Imperial Harem, I also want to join in the fun.”She was a dignified beauty. Maybe because of her pregnancy, her skin
As the result came out, both Noble Consort Gui and Noble Consort Shu changed their expressions, and at the same time, they looked at each other. At the next moment, they looked at Yun Fenghuang.Yun Fenghuang was also stunned.“Your Highness, there must be a misunderstanding!” Noble Consort Shu immediately said to the Empress, “My sister is gentle and kind. How could she do such a thing? Besides, my sister didn’t know Cai Nv Yi and others before. It was the first time that she had met them yesterday in Huan Hua Hall, and there is no hatred between them. I can’t find a reason why my sister hurts them. What’s more, even if she is fool, she has had little contact with outside since she lives in Xuan Qing Palace. She is not familiar with Jie Yu Jia too. How can she ensure that she can meet Jie Yu Jia this morning, and also meet Happier of Noble Consort Gui held by Jie Yu Jia’s maid?”Yun Fenghuang raised her eyebrows and said, “Noble Consort Shu is
Since the Emperor wasn’t close with the Empress, he seldom came to Yan Fu Palace seldom. After the summer banquet, he came here fewer times. After Duchess Ye, Empress Ji’s legitimate grandmother, died, even though Empress Ji was noble, she had to mourn for Duchess Ye to show the filial piety… As a result, the Emperor hadn’t come Yan Fu Palace since then.Listening to the report at this moment, the concubines were all startled, and then stood up together, following the Empress to welcome the Emperor.“I went to see Noble Consort Gui after finishing the levee, but I heard that she came to pay respect and hasn’t come back yet.” The Emperor was in a hurry this time. After the concubines took a few steps, Emperor Chunjia had already entered the hall and asked, “What’s wrong?”The Empress took the lead to give him a salute. After the Emperor let them rise, she accompanied him to sit down, saying, “There is a dispute between Jie Yu Jia and Jie Yu Mao
“My Lady, I’m Jian Tao.” Jian Tao gave another salute, and smiled slightly, “Following the order of Noble Consort Gui, I come to convey her intention of forming an alliance with you.”“Forming an alliance?” Yun Fenghuang murmured, “This is really a surprise for me. Noble Consort Gui is the legitimate niece of General-in-chief of the Cavalry, and has a noble status. In the Imperial Harem, her status is only below Her Highness. Besides, she is now pregnant, so her prospect is beyond measure... With such a noble status, why is she willing to condescend to form an alliance with me?”She added, “Since Noble Consort Gui has the intention to form an alliance with me, how does she explain the matter this morning? Now that no someone else is here now, don’t tell me that the matter of elsholtzia was really made by Rong Hua Yun!”Yun Fenghuang was very clear that Yun Qingman was wronged in this matter. After all, if she had no ability to know what Yun Qin
The first day of the newcomer's entry into the palace, Chunjia rested in the Raccoon Flower Hall, which is dedicated to the true beauty of the face.From the next day onwards, it was time to honor the newcomers one by one.Otherwise there is a suspicion of neglecting the families behind the newcomers.This day Chunjia did not intend to come to the splendor of the Palace, but the cloud wind Huang halfway to send food, ran into him casually counting Yin Qu, so come over to sit for a few moments to inform the cause, to go to the palace to spend the night anyway, the two palaces away from the close, separated by a Yijia Palace.However, such a sit on the meal time, looking at the son of heaven accompanied the real princess with the dinner, holding the tea slowly and methodically sipping, but also did not have the slightest intention to get up, left and right can not help but be a little uneasy, are to take the corner of the eye to aim at the goose guide, hope th
Yun Feng Huang was slightly stunned when he received the news that the second consort was seeking an audience, and then frowned.At this time, Xie Mang happened to be playing in front of her, saw the situation and ran over with a halfunraveled ninelink ring and asked curiously, "Auntie, this second consort's family history is excellent, quite popular with the royal courtesy, and now taking the initiative to be soft, is it not good?""What do you children care about these?" Yun Feng Huang smiled and touched her head, mouth angry at this niece nosy, but still for her to explain, "five consorts into the palace is the trend, can not be blocked. But they are raging, in aunt's position of power are very unfavorable. In order to avoid the people underneath the low worship high, listening to their family history, looking at the favoritism of the Empress Dowager Mother of Mercy on the reversal of the past, aunt this is in their first day in the palace to give color ....""S
Smoky Orchid Palace Xin Li Hall, although there has been no major construction, in the Xuan Fei a cadre of daughtersinlaw under the command of some pick up, but has been very different from the consort at the time.Not only in the temple furnishings style is very different, even with the flowers and plants in the court, also has pruning material.Even people who are familiar with the place may not recognize it at first sight.Spare a thought, Xuanfei's nursemaid Yin still has some regrets, "Your Highness first came to the palace right, if it is on the big move, not too frivolous ... Otherwise, the steps of the few clumps of flowers and trees, should also be replaced.""Almost done." Xuanfei Luo Hanyi hand on the railing, a little bit of survey of their own land, do not care to say, "His Majesty does not like Zheng, do not ask him to come here to think of the old man, swept away the interest on the good. The other, the day will come, slowly tidy up, but there
"I've been coming over at this hour for the past two days, what's there to do and what's not to do?" Chun Jia first leaned over and touched the top of Xie Mang's hair, smiled and told her to flatten herself, and replied, "Do you want to drive me away?"Yun Feng Huang smiled and said, "Your Majesty thought to where? Not today's new sisters into the palace, concubine thought you have to go to see them first?"As he spoke, Qing Xu and the others had already come up, taking Xie Mang's hand and leading her down.The Imperial Consort and the two of them walked inward as they spoke and took their seats in the hall."When is there a rule in the palace that when a concubine first enters, I must rest over?" Chunjia snorted, took the tea handed up by the courtesan sip, lazy, "people are eager to come to me, you're good, a little bit of a breeze, I haven't said anything, can't wait to close the door of the splendor of the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, will be shut out of m
Spring in March in the palace city is still craggy, but the branches have blossomed a bit of yellow and green buds, brushing through the temples of the wind also metamorphosed to the harsh, more or less show some tenderness, the whole palace inside and outside, a spring is full of flavor.Sweet white glaze lowpainted magpies in a tea cup of green and blue slightly rippling, repeatedly stained with phoenix flower juice of the fingertips brightly colored, more and more show that the catkin holding the tea cup is slender and white, race of snow frost Empress Yuan took the bowl of tea, surveyed in front of the face of the playful posture and dignified, from head to toe is not her familiar and respected the style of the new consort of the great lady, showing a satisfied smile.While she spoke to encourage the effort, the next Wei Heng Yan raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, whispered for the introduction of cloud wind Huang, "... This is Luo's daughter, the maiden name of
"This matter is troublesome." The next day, at the Duke of Yiguo's residence, the Duke of Yiguo, who had received the news, frowned slightly and said to his wife, "Before, Zhao was raised by the Empress, and now that Ji is in decline and disliked by His Majesty, the Empress, no matter how reluctant she may be in her heart, does not dare to slow down the heir who is credited to my son's name; however, now that the person has come into the hands of True Concubine, it is not easy to say."Han twisted her handkerchief uneasily, "But since the person who proposed to put an heir under my son's name was Concubine Zhen, she wouldn't have intentionally caused Zhao's miscarriage? Besides, my son is no longer alive, so even if she doesn't want to offend us, she won't treat Zhao's heir badly?"Wing Guo Gong said, "True consort indeed will not do so ... just this hand of the Queen, but it is like borrowing the hand of true consort, will drag us into the water ah! The next harem fight
At Jun Jia's request, Empress Qu's birthday passed in waves.In the end, Yun Feng Huang feel overly upset, privately sent a subcongratulatory gift to the Jia Shan Palace, than last year's birthday of Queen Yuan's congratulatory gift slightly cut down the kind of."The mourning family is actually not lacking in these." After all, she is the empress dowager, or Chunjia's birth mother, despite Chunjia's own request not to give her the same treatment as Empress Dowager Yuan, on this day, the consorts still have to come to Jiashan Palace to ask for peace and congratulations.But the curve of the Empress Dowager to maintain the usual silence and cold, will be sent away, only stayed in the cloud wind Huang meal, the reason is, "I'm afraid that you are not used to the meals here, so that the real consort on behalf of you to stay with the grieving family well, your heart grieving family know, are good children."Waiting for people are gone, but sighed and said to Yun
On the first day of the first month, the Son of Heaven, complete with crown, up the great dynasty, by the hundred officials to pay homage.Afterwards, the kings and ministers each pay homage to their ancestors.Returning to the harem after noon, he went to the Spring Lazy Palace, and met with Empress Dowager Yuan, while Empress Qu and a cadre of princesses and county princesses and consorts had gathered here for a long time to wait, and together they paid their respects to the Son of Heaven on his new jubilee.Chunjia just returned from the temple, still wearing a grand robe, looking not like the elegant and gentle, majestic and solemn.Sitting on the side of the two empress dowagers, his eyes swept over the three kneeling nine kowtowed internal order women, saw the head but still holding the sick Empress Ji, slightly frowned.After exempting himself from the salute, he said mildly, "the first month of the first day of the month exactly auspicious, the
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! Concubine is just afraid that Mang'er is worried, that's why I casually put her off." Yun Feng Huang painfully thought to himself afterward, "This is not afraid of revealing the stuffing, so that's why you have to send her away in a hurry?"Junjia grunted, "Cunning!""Concubine innocent ah!" Yun Feng Huang swore, "Concubine to have that ability to figure out the holy will, will still this long time can not see you?""Who knows if you are capable of figuring out the holy will, but impatient to do so?" Junjia glanced at her and said quietly.Yun Feng Huang jawdroppingly said, "The world is so stupid?"She said this so swiftly and justifiably that Chunjia was all but laughed at, saying, "Not stupidly!""That concubine here is certainly not such a person." Yun Feng Huang seriously said, "Concubine was praised for being smart and resourceful when I was a child, and his majesty also said the same about his concubin
