On the third day after the marriage, Qin Yi quietly left Jincheng with Zhao Yingjie and headed for the border.
After Zhao Yingjie and Qin Yi left, they had to start preparing for the New Year.
This is the first year after Luo Qingyan ascended the throne, there are a lot of things to prepare, and Yunshang has also started to get busy.
"Your Majesty, this is a list of the annual gifts given to the former dynasty and the harem during this year's festival. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
Yun Chang took it and glanced at it.
"In previous years, were rewards according to such rules?"
"It's roughly the same, but because this year is the first year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, a little bit has been added."
Yun Shang nodded: "That's it."
Qian Liu responded, and took another list: "This is the list of rewards received by the court and harem."
Yun Chang looked at it from beginning to end, always felt that something was missing, and frowned, but didn't remember what was missing.
"Is there anything you can add, Empress?" Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Qian Liu asked hastily.
Yun Shang looked at the list again, and finally found the problem: "In this list, there seems to be no... Prince Xian?"
"Prince Xian?" Qian Liu was stunned: "But, Prince Xian has already resigned from the position of prince and left Jincheng? Do you want a reward?"
"Of course it is necessary." Yun Shang replied: "Although King Xian has left Jincheng, His Majesty Zhezi who resigned has not approved it, and King Xian's mansion is still reserved for him. Yimu has never allowed anyone to move, which shows that the virtuous king is still a virtuous king."
"Although he is not in Jincheng, this year's gift is still going to be sent over. Let's send it to the Xianwang's mansion. There should be someone in the Xianwang's mansion who can get in touch with the Xianwang. It is up to them how to deal with it."
"In the future, all the rewards given to officials in the palace must not miss the Xianwang Palace."
Qian Liu quickly complied, keeping this matter firmly in her heart.
Yunshang thought for a while, took another piece of paper, wrote a short message, folded it up and handed it to Qian Liu: "This letter, please send it to Prince Xian's mansion together with the annual ceremony."
Qian Liu took it, answered, and then continued: "Didn't there be a problem with the inner garment of the dress at the Empress's Conferment Ceremony? At that time, all the palace officials who had been in contact with the inner garment of the dress had already dealt with it." Afterwards, the servants sent people to find out where the cloth came from, and the palace servants carefully checked the records at that time, but they have already found out that the cloth was sent by the imperial merchant Li Ji."
"Li Ji was selected by the Imperial Merchant three years ago when the Imperial Merchant was applying for the election. They were mainly engaged in the fabric business in the Xia Kingdom. Li Ji's fabrics are well-known throughout the Xia Kingdom. This is their third year in the palace. Gongbu fabric, never had anything go wrong before."
Qianliu said softly: "When Li Ji sent these fabrics, he didn't say what they were used for. They were put together with other high-quality fabrics. Then, it was the director of the Shangyi Bureau Yu Nian personally brought people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose the fabric, and she chose this fabric to make the inner garment of the dress."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes: "I remember, Yan Ping said that day that there are gold and silver threads in the fabric, if it is used as an outer garment, the gold and silver threads will make the clothes look golden and radiant, but if It is used as an inner garment, and after wearing it for a long time, it will rub against the skin, making people feel very uncomfortable and restless... "
"Yes." Qian Liu nodded: "Yan Ping said so, and because of this, the servant feels that the problem is not necessarily Li Ji, but it is also possible that it is Yu Nian, or other palace officials from the Shangyi Bureau. people."
"No, maybe, there must be something wrong with Yu Nian. As the manager of the Clothing Bureau, Yu Nian will definitely check the fabric used by Your Majesty and I to make the grand ceremonial dress. She has been in charge of the Clothing Bureau for so many years, so she must know These. However, she still chose this fabric to make my underwear, if it wasn't intentional, I really can't think of other reasons."
"According to what Yan Ping said, you won't feel anything wrong with this fabric when you put it on for the first time, and you will gradually realize it after wearing it for a long time. This is clearly prepared for the day of the pawn. If it is on weekdays, even if it is I used the cloth with gold and silver threads as an inner garment, I felt uncomfortable, so I just took it off."
"But on the day of the grand ceremony, the dress was too heavy, so I will definitely calculate the time to change it. After changing, I will go straight away, and then the grand ceremony. I will probably find something wrong when the grand ceremony is about to start, or after the grand ceremony begins. But that It's too late to go to another place to change clothes, and at first I shouldn't feel that there is a big problem, and I will probably endure the discomfort and hold the ceremony."
"But the uncomfortable feeling will definitely become more and more severe. If I can't bear it, I will definitely make an embarrassment at the grand ceremony. By then, their goal will be achieved."
Qian Liu nodded: "That's the case, simply manage the matter strictly and find out about it before the empress changes clothes, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Yun Chang smiled, but there may not be any serious consequences. She has experienced a lot of difficulties and sufferings in her two lives, and she can endure what ordinary people can't bear. Even if she really wore that dress to participate in the grand ceremony, She was definitely able to survive until the end of the ceremony.
"It's just that it's hard to tell whether Li Ji has anything to do with this matter, and Yu Nian is dead. Look, my lord, how should we deal with this matter?"
Yun Chang squinted her eyes, and tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "Dead people, of course, can't be held accountable. I can't dig out her body and whip her again. It's just that Li Ji..."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, you tell the secret guards to carefully check the background of Li Ji, the more detailed the better, and send it to me after you find out."
"Whether this matter has anything to do with Li Ji depends on whether Li Ji is really just a simple imperial merchant."
Qian Liu complied: "Your maidservant, go and order."
Yun Chang nodded, and then ordered again: "Don't be too anxious about this matter. The most important thing now is to make good preparations for the New Year. Every palace banquet has some problems. Now I feel that when I hear the palace banquet My head is getting bigger, and I don't have any other pursuits, I just want to have a peaceful palace banquet and live a good and stable year."
Qianliu couldn't help laughing when she heard Yunshang's sleepy tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I assure you, I will try my best to ensure that all the utensils and food at the palace banquet are safe and sound."
"Naturally, I'm at ease here. I'm afraid that someone will deliberately cause trouble."
