Although nothing has gone wrong in the harem in the past few months, the servants in the palace dare not slack off and are rushing to make things for the ceremony.
Especially in the Siyi Workshop, the closer it gets to the ceremony, the more the machine sounds day and night, and hundreds of embroiderers rush to make the work day and night.
The phoenix on the queen's uniform is embroidered with gold thread, and is also mixed with threads of other colors. The skills of the embroiderer are extremely high, and no mistakes can be made.
During this period, Xie Ziyue's birth date was sent to Guoan Temple for placement.
There is a procedure for the new queen to send her birth date and horoscope to the imperial temple where the royal family of the past dynasties are enshrined.
This also depends on the fate of the new queen. If no big events happen in the palace during this period, it means that the ancestors recognize the new queen, and the subsequent ceremony of sealing the queen can go smoothly.
Of course...if something happens in the meantime, how to decide depends on what the new queen and the emperor think.
This link is usually only stuck in the succession. If it is the emperor's empress, there will usually be almost no other concubines in the harem when the edict is drafted, so normally there will be no big trouble.
The servants in Weiyang Palace were almost excited after Xie Ziyue's birth date was delivered to Guoan Temple.
Everyone was afraid that someone would have bad intentions at this juncture, but fortunately it only lasted two days.
As a result, even on the second night, something happened in the harem.
What happened was the Royal Garden.
Although Xie Ziyue has not yet held a formal ceremony for conferring the queen, Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty has already issued a decree in the harem, so when something happens, the first reaction of the servants is to report to her.
The palace maid who arrived was wearing the palace attire of an ordinary palace maid. Perhaps because it was snowing outside and the distance from the Imperial Garden to Weiyang Palace was not close, her bun was wet a lot.
As soon as she came in, she didn't look sideways. She knelt on the ground with a plop and pressed her forehead tightly to the ground: "My slave, I pay my respects to the Queen."
"Get up," Xie Ziyue clasped the Tang Pozi in her hand and focused her eyes on the shivering palace maid: "It's so late, what happened?"
As soon as today is over, the test of Guoan Temple has been passed.
When the palace maid came in just now, Xie Ziyue had already made up her mind:
Even if something really happened, she would suppress it. As long as she could hide it until tomorrow, nothing would happen.
"Your Majesty," the palace maid didn't dare to get up. Her voice was still full of fear. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the fear just now:
"This slave is the maid on duty in the imperial garden tonight. She originally wanted to hang out by the lake, but in the end, it turned out..."
Speaking of this, the palace maid hesitated and looked extremely hesitant, as if she was worried about something.
Xie Ziyue's expression suddenly became serious, and she sat up straighter slightly: "Don't be hesitant when speaking, just say what you have to say."
"There is someone in the lake!" The palace maid took a deep breath and said the words on her lips.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at each other.
Of course this cannot be a living person.
But this matter alone could not affect Xie Ziyue, so although Taoxiang and others were surprised, they felt relieved.
Tao Xiang suddenly lost her temper and said:
"Can't I just tell your manager about this matter? We have to talk about every little thing in front of our queen. Can't we distinguish the priorities of things?"
To Tao Xiang, these are just insignificant things.
There are so many people in the palace, and countless things happen to them every day.
If someone had to report something to Xie Ziyue when something happened, then my wife wouldn't have to do anything all day long and just wait for her servants to report her!
"But..." After the palace maid was scolded, her voice was like a mosquito, and she whispered: "But I asked the steward, and the steward asked me to come to you."
As soon as these words came out, Taoxiang instantly realized the seriousness of this matter.
Could it be that the person who had the trouble was some kind of extraordinary person?
It is normal for the palace maid to be ignorant, but there is no reason why the eunuch in charge of the imperial garden should be so ignorant.
If the accident happened to an insignificant person, the eunuch in charge could handle the matter himself.
"Who is in trouble?" Xie Ziyue stared at the palace maid closely.
"It's the Dowager Princess..." The palace maid's voice was low, as if she was afraid that she didn't speak clearly enough, so she reiterated: "The Snow Princess."
These words were like a thunderbolt that shocked the entire Weiyang Palace.
Why is it Princess Snow?
Didn’t Concubine Xue return to Guoan Temple a few days ago? Why does the good-looking one appear in the pond in the Imperial Garden?
The death of maids, eunuchs, or even unloved concubines in the palace is not a big deal.
But after the death of a concubine, this matter cannot be easily ignored.
If word of this gets out and someone makes a fuss about it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"How many people know?" Taoxiang asked, glaring at the palace maid.
"The steward has suppressed this matter. There are no more than five people who know about it, including the servants." The palace maid replied hesitantly, but she spoke fluently.
Hearing that the eunuch in charge of the Royal Garden suppressed the situation, Xie Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not dare to take it lightly at all, and told Xin Zhangjing:
"You should go to the Imperial Garden quickly. You must put this matter aside until tomorrow. You must not let it get out tonight."
Now Xie Ziyue has no time to care about why Concubine Xue appears in the palace. The most important thing at the moment is to suppress this matter for the time being.
As long as today can be postponed, others will not be able to make a fuss about themselves.
Xin Zhangjing naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. He nodded repeatedly to show that he understood, and took the palace maid down with him worried.
"Taoxiang, go out and create something to attract other people's attention. It must be loud enough so that others can't find the problem."
"Only by making this palace completely lively will no one feel that there is anything wrong with the liveliness in the Royal Garden."
After Xin Zhang paid his respects, Xie Ziyue quickly ordered Taoxiang.
Tao Xiang rolled her eyes and already had a good idea in her mind.
It was most important to seize the time at this time. She didn't dare to delay and hurried out.
