phoenix knot

In the late spring of Hongxi's eighth year, Beijing.

At two o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising and the Dragon Boat Festival Gate was open. People crowded both sides of the official road from the Li main gate in the outer city to the Dragon Boat Gate in Miyagi.

The inspector of ceremonies read out the imperial decree in front of the high platform, and the emperor and empress joined hands in a dragon chariot and was carried by the guard battalion of the Imperial Forest Army. , Han Chengjue entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The warm spring sun was shining under the canopy, Han Chengjue couldn't help but said: "Thinking that you have worked so hard to rebuild this place, I always feel as if you are marrying me with the national ceremony today."

Liang Guanjing covered her mouth and smiled, "Then you will be the emperor well, and don't break your trust with the people."

After entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when the emperor's civil and military officials were in line, Liang Guanjing knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to Han Chengjue on the dragon chair, and said goodbye to the emperor. Enter the harem.

When Liang Guanjing heard behind him all the civil and military officials bowing to the emperor and shouting long live three times, he was full of vigor and agitated expression.

Wearing palace attire, wearing a phoenix crown, with a gold hairpin and jade hairpin inserted, Liang Guanjing left the back door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and took the phoenix chariot all the way to the north, feeling his neck was sore and his waist stiff. Finally, the car arrived in front of Yongming Palace. The eunuch knelt sideways in front of him, and let Liang Guanjing's palace boots step on his back from the high carriage platform.

The concubines had just avoided the empress and rushed over from the armpit gate, and part of the salute was outside the palace. At this time, the three thousand beauties were dressed properly according to their positions, kneeling in the Wutai Hall and waiting for Liang Guanjing. Headed by several princes and princesses, some of them were so young that they were hugged and coaxed by court ladies and eunuchs.The noble concubine Su Jingxian is pregnant again, on this special day, she dared not make any mistakes, and she knelt obediently.Liang Guanjing got two prostitutes at once, and her arrogance has completely gone down, knowing that the dream of a mother relying on children is shattered, at least temporarily shattered.

After giving her seat, Liang Guanjing asked Su Jingxian about her pregnancy with concern, and thought of her hard work in giving birth to an emperor's heir. If she is weak and unwell these days, she can say hello early without getting up.Gossiping for a few words, Liang Guanjing thought that all the sisters had just entered Beijing, they had been exhausted all the way, and they were still outside the palace gate before they all moved in, so they let everyone go back to rest and recover from fatigue.

For a while, the maids and eunuchs led the masters of the palaces back to their positions, and everyone had almost left, only Qian Shanxue was left in the Wutai Hall and refused to leave, naturally, now she was called Wang Zhaoyi.Even Su Mingyue brought Lin Zhichun into the Wangxiang Tower behind the Wutai Hall first, and was in a hurry to meet Hongling Cailian and the others and exchange some personal words.Out of the corner of Liang Guanjing's eyes, she had seen Wang Zhaoyi, but she just didn't know it, and walked back quickly to ask her to take off her outfit.

"Your Majesty, stay behind!" Wang Zhaoyi called out.

Liang Guanjing gritted his teeth, turned around bravely, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "The emperor told me first that he wants to keep you in the palace, and he can't bear you to be alone outside. As a king, he stays with you and doesn't go to court early. The reputation is not good. Didn’t this palace allow you to be the master of Jianzhang Palace? Seeing that you have gathered three thousand favors, you will be promoted to the concubine soon. From now on, you will be the master of Jianzhang Palace. What else? unsatisfied?"

Wang Zhaoyi stared at Liang Guanjing with a pair of beautiful eyes. She couldn't say anything, so she could only stare at him with hatred and tears.

Liang Guanjing supported his forehead, "I can't straighten my waist because of this outfit, and my neck is sore. Today, you should go back to the palace to rest, everyone is tired." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Wang Zhaoyi walked back with the maid, and the little maid beside her, Luoying, said, "If Zhaoyi has anything to say to the queen, I will make another trip to deliver the message."

Wang Zhaoyi said angrily: "It's a lot of trouble."

The little palace maid had no choice but to shrink her neck and remained silent.

But when Liang Guanjing arrived in the bedroom, Lianxiangxiyu hurriedly came to remove her make-up and tiara, and took off her complicated palace attire. Liang Guanjing fell headlong into the bed and wailed: "This queen...becomes so easy before the war."

Lianxiang hurriedly stepped forward to beat her back and squeeze her shoulders, "Your Majesty, your body is golden and safe!"

Liang Guanjing pointed at her and said, "Are you talking to amuse me?"

"How dare a servant girl?!" As she spoke, she couldn't stop snickering, Liang Guanjing wanted to raise her hand to tear her face.

After arguing for a while, Liang Guanjing finally regained his composure, and asked the young eunuchs outside whether the rewards and monthly salaries sent to the palaces were in place, and if there were any shortages, they could be made up in the afternoon.The emperor is going to have a night banquet for the officials today, and the harem will also hold a banquet. The concubines of the palaces have been promoted, and there will be a canonization ceremony tomorrow.The outfits prepared tonight will be sent to the various palaces. She herself has chosen light clothes on purpose. Originally, the ceremonial supervisor had to advise the queen to wear them according to the ancestral system. It was even more serious, and his face was so pale, so he didn't say anything, and only brought up the emperor to talk about the matter. Since everything in Xinjing is kept simple, so as to avoid people saying that the palace is extravagant and wasteful, this phoenix crown will not be worn, just put in the phoenix hairpin. , Finding this excuse can be described as high-sounding, and finally dismissed the supervisor of ceremonies.

Lianxiang said again: "Then Qianshanxue seems to have something to say to the empress."

Liang Guanjing glanced at her, "Don't be so long and short as Qianshanxue. Now I want to call her Wang Zhaoyi. The emperor specifically ordered her to be promoted. The concubine's position is too low. Let me make up another one."

Lianxiang said: "Can't there be two noble concubines?"

"Wang Zhaoyi doesn't want to be a noble concubine."

Lianxiang was stunned, "Does she still want to be a queen? The emperor loves her so much that she is as close as Concubine Su Gui. I think she wants to go to heaven. She is not afraid of being jealous and causing trouble."

Liang Guanjing said: "Do you think she is the one who is afraid of getting into trouble?"

Lianxiang nodded: "It looks like a troublemaker, even more arrogant than Concubine Su, who was favored back then."

Liang Guanjing said: "I asked the supervisor of ceremonies, and he said that according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, the lady can be named."

Lianxiang said: "Is the lady's status higher than that of the imperial concubine?"

Liang Guanjing said: "It's not as good as the imperial concubine, but Wang Zhaoyi also likes the title of madam, so let her follow her."

Lianxiang was stunned, "Then Wang Zhaoyi can be said to be responsive to the emperor's pillow blowing. Are you going to indulge her, the queen?"

Liang Guanjing sighed: "She said she was sick and unable to bear children. The emperor pitied her for being weak and helpless. Naturally, she would give her whatever she wanted, but it was just a name."

Lianxiang said: "I think the queen is quite pampering her."

Liang Guanjing snorted, "Aren't all of you being ruled by me?"

Lianxiang giggled, "Madam, won't sister Mingyue's status be promoted? No matter what, she also gave birth to a princess. It is always possible for a harem beauty to be promoted to concubine."

Liang Guanjing said: "This Su Jieyu of our family still cares about the position in the harem? She has already climbed on top of me to do her best, even being a queen is not rare."

Lianxiang laughed loudly now, "Isn't that your mother's indulgence?"

Liang Guanjing hummed: "Yeah, vertical, vertical!"

Xiyu brought tea to Liang Guanjing, and after taking a sip, Liang Guanjing got up from the bed in good spirits.

"Lianxiang, change clothes."

Lianxiang said: "Where is Niang Niang going?"

Liang Guanjing twirled a strand of black silk with her fingers, imitating other concubines' acting coquettish and showing off, and said pretentiously: "Go and greet Su Jieyu, let's go!"

When Liang Guanjing arrived at Dewangxiang Tower, Su Mingyue was sending the maids and eunuchs to clean it up. She had been living in Wengshanbo Palace before, and today she moved to Yongming Palace, just like other concubines. Staying here still finds that this is missing and that is missing.Even the landscape painting hanging in the hall, she also felt uncomfortable, and planned to hang a beautiful face that she begged from Concubine Kang.

"I asked you to come here to set things up first, but you just refused." Liang Guanjing complained about her ink marks, and she was still busy all this time.

"The other concubines didn't enter the palace, so I came in first to live, what is this?" Su Mingyue put the rouge and gouache into the box in front of the dressing table.

"I think you don't care about these nonsense." Liang Guanjing saw her busy checking her outfit, and said bitterly, "So you also care about these external things?"

Su Mingyue said angrily: "People eat whole grains, how can they be good? You think I'm vulgar, go to Wang Zhaoyi's palace and see, she is more immortal than me."

Liang Guanjing looked aggrieved, "When did I compare you to her? Look at yourself, don't you lose your place?"

Su Mingyue stopped her busy work, and squeezed to sit next to Liang Guanjing, "I heard that Wang Zhaoyi only eats a little bit every day, doesn't eat after noon, and also cultivates Taoism with the emperor. What kind of five stone powder does he eat? .”

Liang Guanjing said: "Who did you listen to?"

"What Hongling Cailian told me has spread throughout the palace. When she was in Nangong, she specially asked the emperor to serve Hongling Cailian in the past, but now she still refuses to let them come back. This relocation of the capital, she You're going to grab my servants, what do you think?" After saying that, he called Hongling Cailian in.The two young maids who had been reunited after a long absence had experienced so much outside with Su Mingyue, and it stands to reason that they are very serious now, but who knew that they would cry when they saw Liang Guanjing, and they must ask the empress to give them some advice.

"Let's not talk about Cailian. She has served several palace masters. Hong Ling is a girl brought over by me as a dowry. Why does she say she wants it? This is really too much." Su Mingyue was annoyed.

Cailian said: "The two masters can't point out the servant to Wang Zhaoyi. The servant has also served the Yuan family. These years have been by Jieyu's side. There is no credit but hard work. The servant will not serve that Wang Zhaoyi even if he dies."

After questioning, he realized that Wang Zhaoyi was not only arrogant and favored, but Jichang Garden outside the Nangong Palace was a mess and mess.The emperor and her are called cultivators, and there are a group of alchemy priests around them. They eat those strange pills all day long, so they say that after eating these five stones, they will be kings, ministers, and people. People, ghosts or ghosts, will go crazy if they eat too much.Speaking of this, Hongling also cried with a "wow", Cailian refused to continue, the two just hugged each other and cried.

Su Mingyue then dismissed the other court ladies and eunuchs, and Liang Guanjing also dismissed Lianxiangxiyu, leaving only four people in the room.

"Can we talk now?" Liang Guanjing asked.

The author has something to say:

one sentence extra

Concubine Su Gui: I am the big winner in the Gongdou drama. I already have three sons. Why is this witch more favored than me?

Wang Zhaoyi: I'm just here to play a cameo role, the imperial concubine is still in the C position, don't panic.
