In fact, today, the concubines are all dressed up very well. Firstly, it is because of the Chinese New Year, and secondly, they are looking forward to being promoted. If they are promoted, it will be shameful if they don't dress well when they go out to express gratitude.
When the emperor and the queen came out together, everyone stood up and saluted.
The ministers all shouted long live the mountain, and naturally the concubines also had to shout long live the mountain once a year.
After sitting down, the singing and dancing started first. The singing and dancing in the palace was quite interesting.
Food and drinks were also served one after another. Everyone toasted first, and the queen mothers of the two palaces, the emperor, and the queen were all toasted.
The older princes, such as the second prince and the third prince, all have to toast.
The fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince don't know how to do it yet, but they still wish them happy New Year.
The Sixth Prince forgot his words while he was talking, so he stuttered: "Happy New Year to the Emperor Protector! Happy New Year to Huang Zhumu, and Happy New Year to the Empress!"
This is what Shen Chuliu taught him. If you forget your words, just say Happy New Year to your father! Happy New Year to your royal grandmother and queen mother!
This child is still called Father Emperor or Protector Emperor, Imperial Grandmother or Huang Zhumu.
Qi Yixiu laughed. In fact, the fifth prince had also forgotten the lyrics. He had no choice but to make up for it with his personal eunuch. This is nothing, just a two-year-old child.
But it’s interesting that the Sixth Prince can pick up the lyrics himself if he forgets his words.
There is always someone to stir up the topic. The Queen smiled and said: "Last year was a good year. Although there was a drought in the middle of the year, it passed quickly. Many places heard that grain production increased. This is all the credit of the Emperor Yuji. , I offer you a drink to the Emperor.”
Qi Yixiu smiled and raised his glass: "I have thanked the Queen for your hard work in the past year, and I also respect the Queen."
The two clinked glasses and drank a glass of wine with a smile. It was an indescribable harmony between the emperor and the empress.
"Speaking of the drought, it was really good when the Eighth Prince was born." The Queen smiled.
The queen knew in her heart that this was the last time to return the love between Wen Meiren and her son. In the future, she will no longer remember Wen Meiren saving the second princess.
"Well, the Eighth Prince has a good birth, the Ninth Prince has a good birth, and all my children are good." Qi Yixiu smiled: "My little girl is the best."
The second princess, Qi Yan, stood up shyly: "Thank you, father."
Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "Sit down."
Qi Yixiu would often show his differences with Qi Shu, after all, she was his only legitimate daughter. What's more, she's just a daughter, no matter how much she is pampered or held, she can't go wrong.
"I think it's time to promote my beloved concubines to the throne. What does the queen think?" Qi Yixiu asked.
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, the main event was coming.
"I think so too." The queen smiled and said, "All the concubines have worked hard to serve the Emperor and my concubines."
Shen Chuliu lowered his head and smiled. The queen is really powerful. At this time, she has to serve her.
But it's true, the concubine serves the main wife, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"The queen is generous. It is my blessing to have a middle palace like the queen, and it is Dayi's blessing." Qi Yixiu took the queen's hand and patted it.
The people below hurriedly praised the emperor and empress for their friendship.
Queen Mother Feng and Queen Mother Li also praised the queen's benefits.
The queen refused a few more words, and then the emperor began to issue orders.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he stood up and read out the imperial edict that had been written long ago.
At a glance, there are many imperial edicts, which shows that this is a big seal.
The first one is Song Zhaoyi.
Song Zhaoyi herself was stunned. She thought she would grow old just because of Zhaoyi.
As a result, the emperor said that she was gentle and submissive. Yes, her advantage was that she was submissive.
So she was given the title of Shunzuo, and she was conferred the title of second-grade concubine and given the title of living in Yihe Palace.
When Song Zhaoyi thanked her, her voice was trembling.
The second one is Jing Xiuyi.
To be honest, Shen Chuliu didn't know where he could be promoted, but he just wouldn't leave this ninth concubine. The imperial decree given to her by the emperor was not that simple. He praised her a lot, and finally asked her to take up the original position of Concubine Shun and become Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines. Became the newly minted Jing Zhaoyi.
The Shen family below are also very excited. Although they have not yet ascended to the concubine position, Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, is already something they can't ask for.
The third one is Ning Chongyi, who became Ning Zhaorong.
Then Li Chongrong became Li Zhaoyuan.
Zhenjieyu became Zhenchongyi and was granted the residence of Shunyuxuan where Concubine Shun originally lived. Wen Meiren became Wen Chongrong and was given the gift of Changqiuxuan, where the Han family lived before. And Yi Chongyuan is still Yi Chongyuan.
Further down, Rong Meiren became Rong Jieyu, Yingmei Ren became Ying Jieyu, Su Cairen became Su Meiren, and Miaocai Ren became Miaomei Ren.
Fang Xiaoyi became a talented person.
Chen Baolin became Chen Xiaoyi, Meng Baolin became Meng Xiaoyi, and Xue Baolin became Xue Xiaoyi.
Yao Baolin lowered his head, thinking that he also knew that he would never have his own, forget it, let's leave it at that.
Everyone came out to express gratitude.
This is the highest number of titles granted by the emperor except during the draft, and more than a dozen concubines have been promoted to the throne.
But it is also a little strange, that is, among the nine concubines, there is no one in the position of Xiuzi.
You must know that although the treatment of the ninth concubine is very different from that of the people below, there is still a difference in every word.
Naturally, Zhaozi is the best, and then the three of them are slightly different, Xiu is the second best, and Fuli is the third.
Empress Dowager Li could see clearly that she did not want Zhen Chongyi and Wen Chongrong to be promoted to the throne too quickly.
But it doesn’t matter, after all, isn’t it now possible to raise children openly
Although everyone was happy, they had no time to rejoice. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, they only had time to breathe.
In Cuiyun Pavilion, the servants and servants congratulated Shen Chuliu well.
Although she is still the ninth concubine, she is now Zhaoyi.
Zi Rui and Zizhu took the lead: "I'd like to pay my respects to Empress Zhaoyi! Wishes to Empress Zhaoyi!"
Shen Chuliu smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone gets up, and you will be rewarded."
Everyone thanked her again and everyone was happy.
The reward was given once before the new year, and again after the new year. Of course the money is good.
But it also depends on what kind of money it is. It is naturally extremely good for the master to reward him for his promotion.
On the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Chuliu was called to Tai Chi Palace.
Qi Yixiu wore a dragon robe and waved with a smile: "Is Empress Zhaoyi here?"
Shen Chuliu today wore a long scarlet dress, a bun with two swords, and the same red gold jewelry, but inlaid with pearls.
She stepped forward and said, "I wish your Majesty to be in peace."
Qi Yixiu stretched out his hand to hold her hand: "Ai Fei's eyes are painted today. Tsk, does Ai Fei spend all her time on her eyes in her daily makeup?"
Qi Yixiu thought, I don’t even remember what your eyes looked like.
But every time the painting was good, he liked it.
"This is my concubine's job. I won't tell anyone who asks, not even the emperor." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu smiled and looked at her eyes that looked like a fox today. He smiled and pulled her over to hug her: "My beloved concubine is so charming, so I won't ask any questions."
[It’s a cliché, don’t expect love, and if you don’t mention love, you won’t feel aggrieved. If the heroine is feeling aggrieved like this, then I have no choice but to say nothing. I love you all. I have read all your messages. There will be more updates next month, maybe even two or three days in a row.]
