After a big somersault, Concubine Xian fell silent and raised her baby silently.
She has already made her name in front of the emperor, and if she continues to struggle, she will not be able to bear the consequences. Especially now that she is still pregnant with a child, just to be on the safe side, she decided to be a human with her tail between her legs.
Anyway, her eyeliner has been removed, and it is very difficult to do anything. Instead of continuing to toss, it is better to use this time to develop new eyeliner, and wait until everything is ready before continuing to do what you want to do.
She stopped making trouble, and there was only one Mrs. Lan left in the palace.
Mrs. Lan's temporary alliance with her naturally advances and retreats with her. Concubine Xian didn't show her head, so she also pretended to be quail.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor has stopped spoiling Mrs. Lan blatantly. Originally, it was just to stimulate Xi Jieyu, but now that Xi Jieyu has solved it, naturally there is no need to give her a good face, lest this woman push her nose in the face.
Madam Lan was a little apprehensive at first, not knowing where she had offended the emperor and why she suddenly fell out of favor. After a long time, she calmed down, and she could still enjoy the benefits brought by her status as a wife, and the palace people didn't flatter her high and her low, and her life was okay, so she didn't need to worry about it.
In such an atmosphere as calm as water, the days passed day by day, and soon, it came to the end of October.
On the Empress Dowager's birthday in early October, as usual, my family gathered for a meal.
After offending the emperor, the concubine Xian used the excuse of raising a baby and begged the empress for grace, but she never came to pay her respects. Naturally, such a family banquet will not be played, so as not to offend the emperor.
What she needs now is to downplay her sense of existence, and only when the emperor's prejudice against her fades, can the child she gives birth be favored by the emperor. Otherwise, when you mention this child, you will think of the experience of being deceived, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for this child to be favored.
Without Concubine Xian, Mrs. Lan's position is not enough, the palace has lived a happy life of family love and love ahead of schedule.
If there hadn't been the daily oppression at the bottom of the food chain, Qixue and His Majesty the Emperor would have been happier.
But that's not important, what's important is that it's the end of October, Qiuqiu is going to be crowned prince, and there's also a birthday party.
At the birthday banquet, there is a highlight, which is called "Zhou Zhou". That is, a baby who has reached one year old needs to crawl around on the table and choose one thing among the things surrounding him.
This week-grabbing ceremony is mainly to complete the behavior of "looking at the old at the age of three", that is, to see what kind of person the baby will become in the future from the things he grabs. Those who grasp the abacus will become businessmen, those who grasp the pen or book will become literati, and those who grasp the rouge will become addicted to beauty.
Of course, this behavior is actually nonsense. After all, there are many things that babies don't recognize at all, so they probably just grab them casually. And grasping the week can also be trained in advance to teach the baby what to grasp.
After all, there are usually a lot of outsiders watching the Zhou Catch Ceremony. If something bad is caught and the world knows it, it will have a great impact on the reputation.
Concubine Shen Guiqiu was very confident in Qiuqiu and rejected the proposal to train in advance. Before the birthday party started, she had been holding Qiuqiu by the collar, picked him up, and threatened: "Catch Zhou Zhou carefully, otherwise you will wait to eat sweets every day in the future."
Qiuqiu, who hates sweets, immediately looked at his mother obediently, and stretched out her hand to hug her, as if she would definitely be obedient.
Beside him, Qingxi looked at them resentfully: "Concubine Mu, I also want to eat sweets every day..."
"If you want to grow rotten teeth, I won't stop you." Shen Yuqing said lightly.
Qingxi, who already had a decayed tooth, covered the left side of her face in horror when she heard this. There was a tooth there that hurt every now and then, and she had had enough.
"No, I won't eat!" Qingxi said immediately.
Shen Yuqing nodded in satisfaction, put down her son, and let the two children go out hand in hand, and she followed slowly behind.
The first birthday banquet is here, and it will be held in the main hall of Haiyan Palace.
In the past, the Haiyan Palace would not be easily opened, and the main hall was only used when holding palace banquets. Ordinary small banquets are held in the side hall of Haiyan Palace, such as the last ball full moon banquet.
All that can be held in the main hall are very formal large palace banquets.
Because Qiuqiu is the only eldest son of the emperor, just like the eldest son, he is qualified to hold a birthday banquet in the main hall. Of course, the more important reason is that he is about to be crowned prince, otherwise it is hard to say whether he can be in the main hall.
At the end of the birthday banquet, the emperor will announce the imperial decree of canonization. Then everyone moved to the Hall of Preservation and Conferment Ceremony.
The Hall of Preserving Harmony is located to the east of the Qiangong, to the south of the Hall of Wenyuan (ie the Royal Study Room), and is next to the Hall of Wenyuan.
The imperial study room is one of the buildings closest to the harem in the front palace, which means that the Palace of Preserving Harmony is further away. It takes a lot of time for everyone to walk over.
The Palace of Preserving Harmony is purely used for the canonization ceremony, such as the canonization of the imperial concubine, the canonization of the empress, the canonization of the king of the prince county, and the canonization of the eldest princess. The remaining four concubines, Lord Hou, and the like do not have this honor.
The only ones who can go to the Hall of Preservation to be canonized are the titles of Super Grade and Zhengyi Grade.
Shen Yuqing was still surrounded by all the wives. Although the first year banquet was grand, the form was actually relatively loose. Men and women sit separately, although each has its own place, but it is not required to sit still on top.
As soon as the imperial concubine entered, she was discovered by everyone, and then the noble ladies gathered together.
Shen Yuqing had no choice but to stand and talk with them, and only after dealing with them one by one could she return to her seat to rest.
Today's protagonist is her, so she sits on the throne with the queen, and the other concubines sit together. Concubine Yan didn't come, and she basically didn't go out after she became pregnant, fearing that something might happen to the child.
With Shen Yuqing holding Qiuqiu in her arms, Qingxi ran to the men's bench to find her father. Although the wives are far away, they can still find that Qiuqiu has eyes like Shen Yuqing, forehead like an emperor, mouth like a queen mother, and nose like an emperor. Then she praised so much that Shen Yuqing wanted to roll her eyes.
However, Qiuqiu is very happy. Smiling and listening to people praise him for being smart and handsome, asserting that when he grows up, he will definitely drive a bunch of girls crazy for him.
This kid is a villain, maybe he really understands what it means for a girl to be crazy about him.
When Shen Yuqing was about to lose sight of it, the banquet finally came to the process of grasping the week.
Catch Week is held in the yard, and a huge round table has been set up, and only some common items have been placed on it so far. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones, bows and arrows, abacus, embroidered handkerchiefs, etc., also reserved a lot of space for others to put things.
As elders, His Majesty the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Shen all had to put things up. There are still some elders of the clan, at least two generations higher than the emperor, who also need to put something on it.
Shen Yuqing walked over with the ball in her arms, and stood on the right of the emperor, and the empress on the left.
"Nurse Fu, where's the queen mother?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.
Madam Fu of Shoukang Palace stood not far away with a smile, and came forward when she heard the words: "The Empress Dowager will arrive in a while, please wait a moment, Your Majesty, Empress, and adults."
Everyone naturally has no opinion.
If others dared to make the emperor wait, they must be unhappy now. But that was the emperor's biological mother, Dayan's most honorable woman, even if she waited for a long time, she could wait, just don't miss the auspicious time.
Not long after, the empress dowager came over holding Qixue's hand.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and motioned Qi Xue to go up and put something.
Qi Xue walked over with a smile, and first put the peace amulet brought by the queen mother on it.
This is obtained from the Zhinuan Temple outside the city.
There are two temples outside the city of Huaijing, one is in the southwest, and it is the Zhihan Temple that prays for promotion, fortune and smooth career. The other is in the northeast, and it is Zhinuan Temple, which prays for happy marriages, happiness and well-being.
It was the master of Zhihan Temple who gave orders to Concubine Xian, and the handsome monk Qixue pestered before was a young eminent monk who had returned from wandering in Zhinuan Temple.
These two temples existed in the previous dynasty, and Emperor Rui was already a famous temple in the world at that time. Up to now, the reputation has not diminished but increased, but there is a Taoist temple outside the city that has come from behind, not to be outdone. It is rumored that the Taoist temple was established by the national teacher of the previous dynasty, and the Taoist priests and nuns in it are also very powerful.
The peace talisman put by the Queen Mother was not for Qiuqiu to catch, but for the sake of keeping Qiuqiu healthy and growing up. Even if Zhao Zhou didn't catch it, he would put Qiuqiu in the bedroom and hang it every day.
Qiuqiu looked curiously at the wood-carved talisman, which was made of red sandalwood and had a pleasant fragrance. He was about to move, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but was quickly stopped by the imperial concubine.
"I'll catch it later." Shen Yuqing said in a low voice.
Qiuqiu obediently withdrew its claws and called out to the Queen Mother: "Zu, Zu!"
The queen mother replied with a smile: "Hey, grandma's baby, Qiuqiu, come and give grandma a hug."
Only the queen mother would call out Qiuqiu's nickname without any scruples in public.
Qiuqiu is chubby and has some weight. The queen mother let him go after hugging him twice, and she couldn't hold him anymore.
Taking advantage of this moment, Qi Xue quietly put the things she brought on the table, and then ran back behind the Queen Mother with a guilty conscience.
Shen Yuqing glanced at it, and it turned out to be an exquisitely hollowed out wooden box. The carving is meticulous and the colors are bright, it can be seen that it is not cheap. But that couldn't hide the fact that the box contained nothing serious.
Because it is a hollowed-out box, the contents inside can be seen at a glance. It is the twelve zodiac cards.
Before, Mrs. Lan asked Qixue to cooperate to open a gentleman's pavilion, which would be used as a high-end club for dignitaries. Since it is a high-end club, there must be some gambling. There are various ways to play cards, and they are very good game props. Shen Yuqing prepared a set.
But there are no Arabic numerals or English letters here, so she simply replaced the numbers with twelve zodiac signs, and added a phoenix to make thirteen. In the end, the big and small kings used Qi and Lin. The four colors were simply replaced by four colors, red, black, gold, and silver.
"Playing cards" are not made of paper, but of wood. The pattern is carved in, and then filled with four kinds of paint, the workmanship is very detailed.
Such a set of cards is very time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and naturally it cannot be cheap. Qiuqiu must like it, but if he dares to take it, he will probably be taught by his father.
Shen Yuqing glanced at Qi Xue, adding to the confusion.
It is clear that Qixue did not interfere in the Junzi Pavilion later, and handed it over to King Qingping to operate it. Fortunately, she took the eldest daughter of the Xiao family together from time to time, and slipped in disguised as a man to play. Then he lost almost as a trousers, and was rescued by King Qingping's slaves, which is really shameful.
Now she still dares to send the cards, and she is not afraid that the emperor will punish her for copying books.
The eldest princess and the queen mother have finished putting away their things, and it's the turn of the emperor and imperial concubine. His Majesty the emperor was quite compliant, and he put his private seal on it. Grabbing this means that he will become the emperor in the future. The empress put a long-life lock, which meant that it was no different from the safety talisman of the empress dowager.
As the birth mother, Shen Guifei, the things she put are more eye-catching. She solemnly put six thin booklets on it, divided them into three parts, and stacked two books on top of each other.
This is the inner strength method of the three sects of Mingjiao, Wudu and Chunyang.
But there is no name written on it, only the icons of the three sects are drawn. Everyone was at a loss, not knowing what it was.
There were also people who knew more and immediately exclaimed.
Shen Yuqing looked over and found that it was a young girl wearing a blue and white Taoist robe. There is also an old Taoist priest beside her, holding a dust whisk, with a fairy air.
Shen Yuqing immediately understood that these two should be from the Taoist temple near Huaijing.
Because Dayan believed in both Buddhism and Taoism, eminent monks and Taoist priests were sometimes invited to watch the ceremony on important occasions. Presumably the old Taoist priest also wanted to put things on the table, but he would not put some disgusting things, probably hanging with Ping An Fu.
Not only Shen Yuqing, but everyone also saw the Taoist nun's reaction and immediately thought about it. Could it be that these thin booklets are something extraordinary
After the three big bosses finished playing, several elders from the clan also came over and put some things, all of which were good things that would not be ashamed if caught, and always made the eunuch sing a good meaning. His Majesty the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, these old fellows were quite winking.
Finally, the old Taoist priest and two masters from Zhihan Temple and Zhinuan Temple.
The master put a string of Buddha beads and a golden lotus seed respectively.
The Buddha beads are opened and can be used as amulets to ward off disasters and disasters. Nasturtium is a creation of merit. It is said that if a nasturtium can bloom after planting it, it means that the person who planted the flower has profound merit and good fortune.
Both are things that can't be met, and they are magically dressed by the outside world. As for whether it really has this effect, it's hard to say, and I can only prove it freely.
But after all, it is something sought after by the outside world, so it is full of sincerity to put it up.
The Taoist priest smiled, walked up and put a pair of long swords on the table.
"Taoist, this is?" the emperor asked in surprise, and everyone was also very puzzled.
These are real two swords, the kind used by adults. The weapons in the Grab Ceremony are usually mini models, such as small bows and arrows, and no one puts the finished weapons directly.
The Taoist priest had an inscrutable expression on his face: "This sword is destined to belong to His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor."
Shen Yuqing watched for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward to pick up the swords, and pulled them out one by one to look at the blades. I saw two names written on the body of the sword: "Shuiyu Changsheng" and "Qingya White Deer".
It is the saber of Chunyang disciple, and it can almost be regarded as the second best saber that Chunyang disciple can get before Shen Yuqing crosses. On the next level, there are all kinds of orange weapons, which need to be made of meteorite iron from outside the sky, which is hard to come by.
She sighed lightly: "These two swords were left by the national teacher back then, right?"
The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty has good eyesight."
It seems that the Taoist temple outside the city was indeed built by the national teacher, and he left his sword to the Taoist temple. Shen Yuqing thought that the Taoist temple would keep them as the treasures of the town hall, but she didn't expect to give them away so easily.
It is estimated that he also noticed that Qiuqiu is very likely to follow the path of Chunyang in the future.
Xiao Qiuqiu still doesn't know the meaning of these two swords, so he eagerly wants to touch them.
To be honest, he wanted to touch everything.
After talking about swords, the Taoist priest looked at the few booklets that Shen Yuqing had thrown out, and said, "I never thought that your mother would be able to come up with the exercises that the national teacher practiced back then."
He pointed to the two booklets with the icon of Chunyang Palace drawn.
There are also Taoist temples of this mental method. In fact, Taoist temples are called Chunyang temples. However, the word Chunyang is too popular, so Shen Yuqing didn't think at first that this Chunyang Temple was established by the disciples of Chunyang Palace.
Shen Yuqing just smiled when she heard the words, and didn't say much.
The Taoist priest didn't intend to ask the teacher to ask the crime, but he was a little happy to see it succeed.
Everyone suddenly realized when they heard the words, it turned out that it was left by the national teacher, so it must be a good thing.
Qiuqiu got a little anxious and patted Shen Yuqing's arm. He couldn't wait to go over and touch those fun things, but his mother was only focused on talking to this old Taoist priest.
"Don't make trouble." Shen Yuqing grabbed his chubby face and put him in the middle of the table, "Okay, go get it."
Qiuqiu got the consent, and happily crawled towards the wooden box that Qixue put down. He was more interested in this colorful thing. Seeing this scene, Qi Xue silently covered her face.
It's over, Brother Huang is going to mess with her.
She glanced at His Majesty the Emperor quietly, and she saw that His Majesty's face turned dark.
Fortunately, Qiuqiu just took a look at it, and threw it away without interest after reading it.
Without looking at them, he crawled past the things placed by the queen mother and queen, and stopped in front of the three piles of mental methods put by Shen Yuqing. He seemed to be hesitant about which one to choose, and after struggling for a while, he looked up at Shen Yuqing with a pitiful look, wanting his mother to give him a hint.
Shen Yuqing couldn't see it, so she had to whisper to him: "Do you see those two swords, if you want, choose the blue one."
Qiuqiu followed her fingers and saw the two swords put down by the Taoist priest. He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled over the heart method book with the pure yang blue icon drawn on it, this is what he wanted.
Asking for the exercises was not enough, he felt that climbing was too slow, so he stood up staggeringly, dragged the two mind exercises to the front of His Majesty's private seal, and grabbed them. Then he came to the sword again, dragged it and found that it couldn't move, so he just sat down on his buttocks, holding three things and stopped moving.
Very good, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, grasped the skills of the national teacher, the sword of the national teacher and the seal of the emperor, all of which are good things.
After all, the national teacher is a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priests in Chunyang don't pay much attention to not getting married and not having children. Therefore, under the blessing of the national teacher's mythical story, the ministers have a high tolerance for the things that His Royal Highness the eldest son caught.
The head eunuch smiled and announced the result.
His Majesty the Emperor waited for him to finish his announcement, then nodded slightly, and then had someone invite Ming Huang's imperial decree.
The chief eunuch then took the imperial decree and began to announce it.
"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said. Since ancient times, the emperors have inherited the heavens and established the poles and governed the Yuhuan area. They must establish the Yuan Chu and Maolong state foundations, so that the Mianzong society will be boundless. , The Japanese appearance is wonderful. The talent is pure and beautiful. I will abide by the empress dowager's benevolent order, carry out the ceremony, and obey the public opinion. I would like to tell the world, the temple, and the country. On October 24th, five years, Qiao Yang was awarded the treasure Established as the crown prince. He is in the East Palace, to honor the rule of thousands of years, and to tie the hearts of the world. I admire this."
When the decree came out, everyone was shocked.
When the emperor wanted to canonize the crown prince, there was no rumor about it before. It's too late to cut first and then play. Now that the imperial decree has been read out, it's too late for all the ministers to say anything.
His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood, and finally put all the ministers together. In the past, every time he made a decision, this group of people would jump out with a particularly blank look, chirping, won't they chirp this time
After the imperial decree was read, everything was settled. No matter how the ministers slandered and the concubines were astonished, they could only accept it.
The next step is to move to the Hall of Preservation and complete the canonization ceremony.
It stands to reason that the canonization ceremony needs to be prepared in advance, so there should be rumors from the Ministry of Rituals, but the emperor issued a death order before, and they are not allowed to speak out. The officials of the Ministry of Rituals did not dare to vent out even if they had ten heads, so they kept the secret until now.
The ministers glared at the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites shrank their necks and pretended not to feel it.
They are sandwiched between the emperor and other officials, are they easy
Shen Yuqing looked funny, but she couldn't laugh anymore when she thought of the canonization ceremony later.
The prince's canonization ceremony was very cumbersome, and she had to hold the ball to complete the whole process. After all, the ball was too small and probably couldn't hold it. Therefore, she is the only one who suffers...
Imperial concubine: I really want to bite the emperor to death =dish=!
His Majesty the Emperor ignored him, and directly stepped forward to preside over the ceremony, not giving Shen Guifei a chance to back down and replace her.
But it's fun for a while, and the crematorium afterwards. It is estimated that after the ceremony, he will be revenged by Shen Yuqing and come back...
The author has something to say: The decree, as always, belongs to Baidu_(:з」∠)_
Tomorrow, I will go to meet with my friends, hehehe, happy (*^▽^*)
