Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had long said that Siyifang was working day and night on the queen's uniform for the empress seal ceremony. It would be completed in the next two days, and the clothes would be sent to Weiyang Palace by then.
I didn't expect it to come so soon.
After listening to Gu Xuan's words, Xin Zhangjing nodded with a smile, turned around and went out.
After a while, he led several eunuchs in. The two leading eunuchs were carrying large trays. The contents on the trays were covered with red cloth, so they could not be seen clearly.
Everyone in Weiyang Palace held their breath. The queen's dress for the ceremony was exquisite and extremely heavy-duty, otherwise it would not have been enough for the two young eunuchs to carry it.
Xie Ziyue stood up from the table and stepped forward. Gu Xuan had been following him with expectant eyes. However, she knew that these were the queen's clothes and she should open them by herself, so she waited obediently.
"Your Majesty, hundreds of embroiderers worked hard for several months to make this. I also asked your Majesty to take a look at the upper body. If there is anything wrong, I can send it back to the embroiderers for correction."
The steward of Siyi Square walked out from behind the eunuch, her posture respectful.
Xie Ziyue lifted up the red cloth, and the first thing that caught her eye was the lifelike phoenix on the clothes, spreading its wings and about to fly.
The phoenix is embroidered with gold thread, with peonies embroidered on the edge, and with a bright yellow background, it looks even more noble, elegant, dignified and natural.
Everyone in the hall was shocked and speechless by the exquisite embroidery work on this dress. Gu Xuan reacted quickly and said happily:
"Mother, please give it a try. It will look good."
Her words brought Xie Ziyue's dazed thoughts back, and Taoxiang also quickly asked the others to exit and changed Xie Ziyue's clothes herself.
Tao Xiang and the two nuns carefully picked up the heavy bright yellow phoenix robe from the tray and put it on for Xie Ziyue.
Her complexion is fair, and she wears the bright yellow phoenix robe with a bit of majesty.
Even without wearing a phoenix crown, she is already stunningly beautiful and majestic, and her nobility is overwhelming.
Gu Xuan circled around her mother like a bird toward the phoenix. Like an ignorant child, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Mother, your phoenix robe is so beautiful and it fits you perfectly."
The embroiderer made a special trip to measure the phoenix robe just in case. After the embroiderer made the robe, she had to give it to the queen to make sure it was perfect.
At this moment, Xie Ziyue was wearing a phoenix robe, and the whole hall seemed to be brightened up because of her. Taoxiang, who was always eloquent, was at a loss for words.
Without him, the empress is so beautiful.
"Yes, the size is just right. The embroiderer in Siyifang is different, so there is no need to change it." Grandma Sun checked it carefully and confirmed that the workmanship everywhere was very good, and nodded with satisfaction.
As she said that, she also explained: "Each queen's phoenix robe has to be specially customized, but the phoenix crown is generally used. The phoenix crown in the palace is still with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will surely send someone to deliver it soon."
The phoenix crown was supposed to be preserved by successive empresses. After the death of the first queen, there was no one in the Han Xianzong palace who could legitimately preserve the phoenix crown, so it returned to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace.
Now that there is a new mother-in-law in the palace, and the ceremony for enthroning the queen is about to be held, the queen mother will naturally send the phoenix crown over.
Xie Ziyue nodded and asked Taoxiang and others to take off her phoenix robe.
After changing, she came out and saw Gu Xuan still looking at the phoenix robe on the tray. She couldn't help but laugh: "A-Xuan, do you like it so much? Keep staring at it?"
She comforted her daughter: "Si Yi Fang will also make new clothes for you. When the time comes, they will also be bright yellow, which will best match your skin."
Thanks to Gu Xuan's fair skin, Xie Ziyue has liked to dress her in brightly colored clothes since she was a child. Bright yellow and pink colors all appear on Gu Xuan's body.
This also caused Gu Xuan to like bright colors. When her mother said this, her eyes lit up: "Really?"
Does she have new clothes too?
"Of course." Nanny Li said earnestly: "Of course, the direct line should be distinguished from others, and there is also a difference between princesses."
The hierarchy in the palace is strict. Although Xie Ziyue has always been the highest-ranking imperial concubine in the palace due to the death of the late queen, the ancestral system cannot be abolished, and it is impossible for Gu Xuan to dress according to the standard of the direct line.
But after Xie Ziyue was granted the title, she became the legitimate princess. From now on, even her regular clothes would have bright yellow linings, so she could be distinguished from other princesses at a glance.
"Great!" Gu Xuan became happy as soon as she heard this, not because of her status, but mainly because she had new clothes that she liked.
But there’s still a question – “When will my clothes be made?”
"Don't worry, princess," Tao Xiang saw how anxious she was, and looked at the two nuns with a smile: "For the empress' conquest ceremony, no matter how busy the Si Yi Fang is, they will definitely make a set for you. !”
The group of people were talking and laughing, and after putting the phoenix robes neatly on the tray, they called in the person who had just delivered the clothes from Siyifang.
When she heard that the size of the phoenix robe was OK, the stewardess showed a smile that she had not seen for a long time in these days. She nodded respectfully and said:
"According to the ancestral system, before the ceremony is held, the phoenix robe should be kept by the Si Yifang and guarded by a dedicated person. Since the phoenix robe fits well, the slaves and other servants will leave first."
The two young eunuchs who were carrying the phoenix robes stepped forward in a very colorful manner, lifted the tray just now, and stepped out of the door after Xie Ziyue nodded.
As they opened the door to leave, another person walked in quickly.
Gu Xuan recognized at a glance that this was the little Yunzi next to Xin Zhangjing.
She didn't know it by looking at it, but she remembered that she hadn't seen little Yunzi in two days.
It stands to reason that he is Xin Zhangjing's little follower. Whenever Xin Zhangjing is there, he will always follow him.
I don’t know what I’ve been doing lately, and I just came back now.
"Mother, the results of the autopsy over there are out." After Xiao Yunzi came in, she hurriedly knelt down and looked up at Xie Ziyue excitedly.
