June is a happy month, and it coincides with the beauty of flowers. The beginning of summer is a little later. After the continuous rainy days in May, there will be a month of continuous sunny days.
At the beginning of this month, Mrs. Xiang Ling of Liang State gave birth to a daughter for Wanyanyong, the sixth daughter of the government. Wanyanyong was overjoyed and immediately named her Yujun. He carried her with him for a month and couldn't put it down.
But Xiang Ling was not as happy as she wanted. She originally thought she could give Wan Yanyong another child, but she only had a daughter. In this way, she had to look at Zhang Qinli's belly like a black-eyed chicken, praying day and night that her baby would also be a daughter.
But God did not wish for her. At the end of the month, Qinli gave birth, and the good news spread throughout the country. She gave birth to a son for Wanyanyong, who was named the seventh son of the country. Wanyanyong also named him "Gong". Zeng said Said - "Young people work hard all their lives, and don't waste time and effort."
My wish for my son is that he can study hard when he grows up, and don't let his youth go to waste.
Gemini in January brings joy to everyone in the country. In contrast, Qingya, who has no heirs, is ignored by some favored people. Some even make irresponsible remarks behind her back, saying that she will not give birth. It has been almost a year since she married into the government. Too much, and there is no movement in my stomach.
She heard a lot of rumors, but she remained silent and never took any action. On weekdays, she was either painting or playing chess, or riding horses with Yungong. She didn't pay attention to her son at all.
It was a blazing day, and Imperial Concubine Mingxuan sent her to the Linlin Garden, saying that Princess Pucha and Mrs. Li were also there. She knew in her heart that this would be another difficult meeting. She wore a simple and elegant indigo gown, a moon-white skirt, and some jasper beaded crowns on her head. Her whole person looked simple and low-key.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the hall was full. There were two elders sitting on the two official hat chairs. Mrs. Li was holding the infant Yun Gong and teasing her. There were wives and concubines sitting around. Wan Yanyong also held the infant Yun Gong. Sixth girl Yu Yun hugged her tightly.
She came quietly, fluttering her little fan, bowed her head and said, "Greetings to my mother-in-law, my regards to the Queen!"
The madam raised her head and said with some stern words: "You Hui Wan Yuan is the closest, your two sisters are further away. This palace is so big, it only takes time for you to burn a stick of incense. It's really Ignorant of manners!"
As she spoke, Pu San Xiang Ling shook the green flowers on her head, plucked the gold wire and pearl earrings between her ears, and flapped her fan.
She had already guessed that this was the case, so she became more respectful and leaned on the ground. I didn’t find a good one, so I thought I’d go back and look for it after asking for it.”
The madam's expression softened slightly, and she raised her hand to ask her to get up, and then ordered someone to sit down. She looked at Qingya's unruffled look, then took a deep breath, handed the infant Yun Gong to the waiting person, and ordered the waiting person to hand it to her hand.
She pursed her lips, took the baby, and heard a sigh and the sound of sandalwood beads hitting each other. The sound was thick and clear. She didn't need to look up to know the expression on the dowager's face.
"Come and see how good-looking this Shichiro is. I usually ask you to hold on tight, but you have turned a deaf ear. It has been nearly a year since you entered the Imperial Palace, and there is still no movement in your stomach."
"Sister Mingxuan, you have Guaiguai within half a year of entering the mansion,"
After speaking, the lady pointed to the eldest granddaughter Yu Xiao who was chatting with Yu Ling on the embroidered pillar beside her and said: "Look at how beautiful Xiao'er is. She is cute and smart. Your other two sisters are the same. , happy events keep coming, why is it so difficult for you? How can you, an old woman like me, return to Liaoyang with peace of mind?"
After hearing this, she remained silent and followed her wishes as if nothing had happened. She lowered her head and nodded, giving the same courtesy.
She became more and more excited and rolled the beads in her hand faster. She held her broad robe Hai Qing in her right hand. There was always something sharp in her charitable eyes, like Li Shi's, but different from his aggressiveness.
"Don't just nod your head. Your Majesty gives you the most favor. I have read the records written down by the female historian. You are with me twenty days a month. In this case, I have to..."
"Sister, sister, please be patient. Qingya is the youngest in the house, so naturally it won't come as fast as the others. It will be fine if you are older. Besides, don't be in a hurry, just take your time!"
Wanyanyong quickly interrupted his mother's words and defended her word by word. However, this not only failed to calm his mother's admonishment, but also made her even more unhappy: "Listen, I'm pampering you like this, how can you still be okay?" People are the same, as I said before, you are my nephew and have followed Luer since childhood. In this case, you must know etiquette in the house and don't let pampering lead to arrogance."
"Mother-in-law, I have remembered what my mother-in-law said. You must hold on tighter, you must hold on tighter!"
Seeing that she was respectful and didn't talk back at all, the Dowager put the beads lightly, stroked her robe and sat down: "Well, just keep it in your heart. If you don't work harder, I will give it to the king." I’ve found a new guy! I see you’re not worried.”
"Yes, my mother-in-law taught me a lesson, and my daughter-in-law has taken note of it!"
One part smile, two part indifference, and three part respect, he answered with his hands folded in front of everyone, feeling extremely helpless in his heart. Her eyes wandered to the baby in her arms, her dark eyelashes fluttering up and down, and the indifference in her eyes made Wan Yanyong feel uncomfortable.
A few people chatted and laughed freely. For a long time, Wanyanyong handed his beloved daughter to the wet nurse, raised his hips and said solemnly: "The delivery day of Empress Hui (Shan Lirou, the concubine of King Yuanqi) is coming soon. What your majesty means is , regardless of whether she gives birth to a son or a daughter, she will be made empress. If the minister asks for a report, if she gives birth to a daughter, she will be made a concubine first, and then she will be made a queen after the birth of a prince."
"But his Majesty refused, and he insisted on making Concubine Hui his queen. He had already summoned the solitary king and several important ministers to discuss it. The canonization ceremony was held in Wude Hall in September, and the wives of the clan were ordered to go to the palace to pay homage. Among them There are also a few people who have received imperial orders."
After hearing this, Qing Ya only trembled her shoulders slightly, lowered her eyebrows to show off, and listened carefully as Wan Yanyong continued to speak.
"The newly granted titles are Sister Ru, Mrs. Prince Qi, Sister Xiaogao, who is granted the title of Renren, and there is also the title of Junjun of Yuxuan. Only one person can be granted the title..." Wanyan was stunned for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty has granted the title of Wan. The wife of the state is the wife of Rongguo, and has the second title, and is the first among the concubines below."
Thinking of her title, Qing Ya was stunned for a long time. Everyone in the hall glanced at her, thinking about something secretly. Wanyanyong could not see the joy either. He buried his head and stared at the cold ground, as if the ground had blossomed and attracted him.
At this time, Xiang Ling gave a soft smile, and her words were sharp and sharp: "It's a good thing! Madam Li is now in the holy family. I remember that only Madam Liang in the Song Dynasty had two seals. Titles are awarded for meritorious service for the country against the enemy. Now, sister, you are so lucky, with the breeze on your sleeves! You will be able to rise to the top of the world and become the first among all destined women."
She naturally understood that Xiang Linghui was provoking him, so she replied lightly: "Whatever I do, it is all the blessings brought by the king, aunts, uncles, aunts and fathers. If my sister also has such an uncle who is the prime minister, what will happen to me?" My imperial aunt also has a horse commander as her husband, so naturally she is favored by the Holy One."
"If you seal me, I will be able to bear this title, and I will assist the king to solve his problems. Even if I am sealed to heaven, I will still be the king's concubine, and I will only serve the king."
After hearing this, Pu Sanxiang Ling curled her lips and stopped fanning. She expected to retort, but could not find a reason to refute. And when she turned around, she looked at Yan Yong, but she never raised her head. Instead, she continued to remain silent and never looked at her again.
On the day of the Empress Ceremony, the weather began to turn colder. In the Wude Hall ceremony, all the ladies were standing, and the beauties were like clouds. A large piece of green Zhai clothes dotted the gray and depressed city wall. The red lichen extends to the high platform. The court officials standing bowed on both sides of the high platform follow their own rules and are scattered on both sides. The square black gauze bundt and crimson robe seem to be made from heaven, without any extra style. Matching with distance.
That day, Qingya came in a daze with Zhai Yi. She stood at the head of the second row, holding a wat board in front of her. She stood there for two full hours, and her arms were extremely sore.
What hurt her the most was not the three hours of standing there, but him sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform wearing the imperial uniform.
She cautiously raised her eyebrows and looked towards the high platform. In the hazy afternoon sun, she saw him standing up, dragging his sleeves down to his pearls, and walking down the thousand steps to welcome her new queen.
He stood beside her and paused, holding on to the jade-sui belt intentionally or unintentionally, and glanced at her who had been standing for a long time with his peripheral vision. That look was darker than the original one
The pain of love was heartbreaking. He smiled generously and walked forward with gentle eyes. This moment passed by, so long, it seemed like a lifetime.
For the first time, she felt that the distance between her and him was so far away. Even though they were close at hand, the two hearts seemed to be worlds apart.
Everyone saw this brief brush with each other, including the courtiers and concubines who had known about the affair between her and him.
Feng Jia came slowly, and when the curtains were opened, he stepped forward lightly. When his wife got off the car, he took her hands, and walked past her again, still so unruly. Be docile with some gentleness and rub shoulders with her.
Straight up the mantle, next to his black robe, a green drapery and a crown of luxuriant and shining flowers adorned the new queen Li Rou. The two walked side by side for a long time before setting up a high platform to pay homage to the second queen mother, and then Xuan Hui The chief official was announced.
She listened carefully, and the rather solemn and rigorous words were praising the saintly empress and empress, and each sentence hinted at the importance of the new empress in his heart.
Suddenly, in the silence, a teacher played ritual music, and the ceremonial officer loudly announced the book: "It is carried by heaven, and the emperor said: The husband and the earth carry heaven and follow the example, so the virtue is boundless, the moon traces the sun and produces brightness, so the light will shine. Therefore, those who have a country and a family must choose a good wife to inherit the ancestral temple and impart virtue to the subjects, which is the same in ancient and modern times. Our country is full of saints and honors, and the foundation is upright. It is dedicated to God, and only inner virtues are inherited. Pi Xiu Jiang Ren, the support of Yan's plan, dare not forget to introduce it. The concubine Zi'er is a disciple of the Shan family. She is gentle and gentle. She was born in heaven. She is famous for her good fortune and is famous in the world. Since the beginning of Yue Dynasty, she has come to hide in her residence. The hairpin training group has no violations of the rules and regulations. The couplets are complicated, the rules are clear, the wives are obedient, the examples are diligent, and the Yin teachings are clear. Although the title has been established, the canon has not been cited. I apologize, and now I send the Taishi and his disciples. Dan Xieye, photographed Situ Ang, held the knot and awarded you the treasures in the book, placed a pair of robes on the back of the Zhai, used the large pen and used the light, prepared things to fill the court, and followed the ancient etiquette. I am the foundation of the king's career, the leadership is governed from within, the harmony comes from the center, and the transformation Chi is like a god. If you are diligent, people will not dare to abandon the sun. If you are thrifty, people will not dare to be extravagant. If you are upright, people will not dare to move. It is the heart, to rely on the body, to think about the end, but to be cautious. , Qinzai..."
