Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Shi Nanxi and Kangxi had a lot of fun, and it was already dawn.

Today's enthronement ceremony is of great importance and the auspicious day cannot be delayed. The two of them simply packed up and got up together. Shi Nanxi had to dress up for the enthronement ceremony and Kangxi had to go to the Qianqing Palace, so the two separated.

Before leaving, Kangxi told everyone in Chuxiu Palace:

"The Imperial Concubine is pregnant. You must serve well at today's enthronement ceremony and pay attention at all times to avoid any mistakes."

Everyone quickly agreed, and then Kangxi pulled Shi Nanxi's hair around her ears and said softly:

"Are you tired?"

Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi.

He said angrily:

"Not tired."

Although she said that, her tone was full of gnashing teeth. How could she not be tired? Kangxi was an insatiable wolf who never stopped. Of course, she would not say that she was enjoying it too.

Kangxi chuckled softly; the tone sounded like a compliment to him.

But he had indeed gone too far just now. The enthronement ceremony later would be very complicated. He kissed the little girl's forehead and said in a low voice:

"I will pay attention to the time next time and not let Nanxi get tired again, okay?"

Shi Nanxi blushed, pretended to cough lightly, and lowered her voice:

"Your Majesty is now thinking about the next time. What a wishful thinking!"

Kangxi knew that the little girl was saying one thing and thinking another, so he chuckled again. It was really getting late, so he stood up, squeezed her hand and said,

"I'm leaving first. I'll wait for you in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

Shi Nanxi nodded and watched Kangxi leave. Hongying watched this scene and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth:

"Your Majesty and the Emperor have such a good relationship!"

Nanny Yang next to her was happy, relieved, and slightly disapproving. Shi Nanxi noticed Nanny Yang's expression and quickly changed the subject.

"It's getting late. We can't miss the auspicious time."

Then she sat down in front of the dressing table. Hongying and Nanny Yang did not waste any more time and hurried forward. After she washed and put on makeup, they helped the imperial concubine put on her court robes, court beads and other items, and finally put on the court crown.

Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, regal, elegant and dignified, Shi Nanxi's lips curled up slightly. From now on, she would be the legitimate imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, Kangxi set out from the Qianqing Palace and went to the Baohe Hall to personally review the imperial edicts and imperial treasures. This was a procedure that could only be followed when conferring a title on the empress, but all the officials stood by with their heads lowered, and no one dared to raise any objections.

After Kangxi had personally reviewed it, officials from the Cabinet and the Ministry of Rites placed the imperial edicts on the table in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Afterwards, the Grand Secretary held the imperial seal, and then the chief envoy, Prince Yu Fuquan, and the deputy envoy, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Chen Yanjing, received the seal, placed it in the Caiting, and carried it outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace.

At this time, outside the Chuxiu Palace, the inner guards set up the imperial concubine's ceremonial guards, and the eunuchs entered the Chuxiu Palace courtyard to set up the festival table and the incense table, and the book table and the treasure table were set up in the east and west of the middle respectively.

Soon after the chief and deputy envoys handed the imperial edict and the documents to the eunuch, the eunuch came to the gate of Chuxiu Palace holding the imperial edict.

At this time, Shi Nanxi came out wearing the imperial concubine's court dress, and under the guidance of the female officials, she went to the inner road outside the palace gate to greet the marquis.

The eunuchs placed the scepters, treasures and documents on the tables in the Chuxiu Palace and then left. Shi Nanxi had memorized the process in advance and knew that the next step was to kneel facing north. But just as she was about to kneel, the female official who was leading her hurriedly reminded her respectfully:

"Empress Xian, the Emperor said you are pregnant, so you can replace this kneeling with the body blessing ceremony."

Shi Nanxi stopped bending over when she heard this. Her heart softened, knowing that Kangxi was worried that she was tired from her pregnancy, she smiled and nodded.

Then the female official read out the edict. Baowen saw that the subsequent six silences, three kneelings and three bows ceremony by Shi Nanxi was replaced by the body bowing ceremony.

After the ceremony was completed, the eunuch held the ceremonial staff out, and Shi Nanxi, under the guidance of the female official, escorted it to the outside of the palace. The eunuchs and the chief and deputy envoys reported back and returned the ceremonial staff, and the relevant personnel left Chuxiu Palace.

At this point, there was only the last item left. Shi Nanxi rode on the imperial concubine's guard of honor to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the ceremony of six bows, three kowtows and three kneelings from all officials, concubines, princesses, and ladies of honor. This was a ceremony that only the empress could receive, and it was also a special honor given to her by Kangxi.

When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ceremonial procession stopped and Shi Nanxi came down with the help of Nanny Yang and Hongying. At this time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with the sound of whips, bells and drums, and great music. Shi Nanxi, dressed in court robes, walked slowly towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony step by step.

At this time, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Kangxi was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and standing with his hands behind his back. Looking at the little girl approaching from afar, he clenched her hand. Before the little girl came to him, he personally went down the steps and held Shi Nanxi's hand, and they walked side by side to the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Shi Nanxi held Kangxi's hand again, and the two smiled at each other. Then they faced the square together, and all the officials, ladies of honor, concubines, and princesses lined up below.

At this time, the eunuch below shouted:

"kneel."

The next moment, all the people waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony square immediately knelt down and performed the six-kneeling-three-bow ceremony. The scene was solemn and dignified. After the ceremony, everyone bowed in unison:

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, of noble concubine Xian."

Concubine Hui bowed her head to the ground and clenched her teeth. Who in the Qing Dynasty had ever heard that the appointment of an Imperial Noble Concubine required all officials, concubines, princesses, and ladies of state to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and perform the ceremony of six silences, three kneelings, and three bows?

The Empress Dowager only said that the enthronement ceremony should be grand, but she asked the Emperor to do so, directly comparing it to the Empress's enthronement ceremony. How biased, too biased!

It is obvious that the bias is shown to the whole world. I wonder if the Queen Mother regrets it now?

Concubine Xi, who was standing by, was also feeling uneasy. With the emperor acting in this way, Noble Concubine Xian was not the empress, but she had already become the de facto empress.

Then once Imperial Noble Consort Xian's child is born, even if he is not a legitimate son, he will be treated the same as a legitimate son. How will the Crown Prince cope with it then?

Thinking of this, Concubine Xi recalled the news her family had given her some time ago. She had not agreed with it at first, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that it might not be a bad idea to give it a try.

In the crowd, Second Lady's heart was also in turmoil. She thought she would finally be canonized as the Crown Princess. Who would have thought that Imperial Noble Consort Xian was not only canonized as Imperial Noble Consort, but she was also pregnant. Even the canonization ceremony was the same as that for the Queen. Now she could only pray that she was pregnant with a princess.

Shi Rongyue, who was some distance away from her, had become numb. Also, unlike history, she didn't know what would happen in the future.

Among the ladies, unlike the smiling Shimu, Lady Hesheli had a smile on her face but her hands were tightly clenched in her sleeves.

It turned out that his decision was right. If Imperial Noble Consort Xian continued to become so powerful, the Crown Prince's position would definitely be unstable.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager came out of the Buddhist temple. Madam Hu came forward and told her about the enthronement ceremony. She said with some worry:

"Empress Dowager, you said that the Emperor should hold a grand ceremony to confer the title, but you didn't say to follow the Empress's. It's really against the rules for the Emperor to do this, and it's easy for people to misunderstand you."

After all, it was her own master who proposed to hold a grand ceremony to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort.

The Empress Dowager turned her Buddhist beads while walking towards the main hall. The Emperor had told her about this matter long before he issued the decree. At this moment, she said calmly:

"Although it was a bit out of line, I announced in public that I would hold a grand ceremony to confer the title, and in the end, I didn't really follow the ceremony to confer the title of empress."

The two of them arrived at the main hall. Madam Hu waved her hand and the servants in the hall withdrew. She still had a frown on her face. She helped the empress dowager sit down and pursed her lips and said:

"But she is pregnant now. According to the emperor's attitude, if the baby is a prince..."

Before Madam Hu finished speaking, the Empress Dowager interrupted her with a wave of her hand. Her eyes were deep, revealing the calmness of a person who had experienced many things. She said calmly:

"Even if it's a prince, the age difference between him and the crown prince is so big, we shouldn't worry too much, otherwise, it will be hard for us to prevent Imperial Concubine Xian from getting pregnant for the rest of her life. I believe she is a smart person."

No matter how grand the enthronement ceremony was, it had to end. The next day, Shi Nanxi performed the ceremony of six bows and three kneelings to Kangxi, of course still using the bow technique instead, and then went to the Cining Palace to perform the ceremony of six bows and three kneelings to the empress dowager.

"Good child, since you are pregnant, you can do the body blessing ceremony instead." The Queen Mother smiled and patted Shi Nanxi's hand.

Shi Nanxi thanked her and then bowed to the Empress Dowager. After that, the Empress Dowager looked at Shi Nanxi's belly.

"The baby will be born in January next year, which will be the Chinese New Year, the busiest time of the year. It seems she is a lively and active person."

Heather Brook sat down,

He smiled and said:

"That's great. I just like lively and noisy people. I'll have a lot of fun climbing trees to get bird eggs and going to rivers to catch fish."

The Empress Dowager smiled even more deeply when she heard this. If any prince climbed a tree to take bird eggs or went to a river to catch fish, she would say that Imperial Noble Consort Xian was smart.

"Okay, okay, I'll go join in the fun then."

"That's daring."

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Shi Nanxi looked at her belly and smiled, then returned to the Chuxiu Palace to receive greetings from the concubines in the harem.
