The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

Today is the day of the emperor's wedding, and the Forbidden City is already buzzing before dawn.

In Xian'an Palace, Qiqige had already changed into a bright yellow court dress, a phoenix crown on her head, a necklace and court beads around her neck.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and sat there dignifiedly.

The palace lady Qingyan can speak Mongolian, she is so busy that she never forgets to come here to flatter her.

"Our master and empress are really dignified. You don't feel nervous or flustered about such a big event as the wedding canonization. In the words of the Han people, you are not afraid of danger!"

Qiqige didn't move, she didn't lift her eyelids.

There was no flattering, Qingyan blushed with embarrassment.

Aruna, Qiqige's dowry maid, smiled and said: "Fearless in the face of danger means not to be afraid in the face of danger. What danger is there in the emperor's wedding? Sister Qingyan, go and check the other sets of clothes and jewelry of the empress. Don't be afraid." Drop what."

She couldn't show off, but made a joke instead, Qingyan quickly backed down, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

Qiqige was still sitting dignifiedly, when a little girl in a purple cheongsam embroidered with five-colored peony flowers strode over.

Pointing at Qiqige and frowning, she said, "She's asleep!"

Aruna smiled and knelt down to salute, "Fu Jin is smart."

The little girl stepped forward and gave Qiqige a push, "She's still asleep! Her saliva is dripping out!"

Qiqige was startled, she opened her eyes wide and said, "Nonsense, I didn't sleep."

The little girl frowned and said, "We grew up together, I don't know you yet. You're almost snoring, don't try to fool me!"

Qiqige rolled her eyes, "Impossible, a little fairy like me never snores."

The little girl was full of disdain, "Little fairy? Humph! I'm so unconvinced, you deserve to be a queen? I'm much better than you, why didn't the grandfather and the queen choose me?"

The unconvinced little girl is named E Wenzhu, and is Qiqige's half-sister. Qiqige is two months older than her, and they are both 14 years old.

The current emperor Shunzhi's deposed empress is their aunt, and last year the emperor insisted on abolishing the empress.This year, the Empress Dowager's natal family sent Qi Qige and E Wenzhu. I don't know how the Empress Dowager and her natal family discussed it, and finally decided on Qi Qige to be the queen, and E Wenzhu to be Fujin.

Now in the palace, except for the abolished queen who is called Concubine Jing, all other women in the palace are called Fujin and Concubine Shu.E Wenzhu has the Queen Mother and Qi Qige as her backers, and her status is higher than other Fujins.

Qiqige supported Fengguan and gently twisted her neck. The jewels on her body were too heavy, making her neck sore.

She casually said to her younger sister, "Maybe the Empress Dowager chose me because I am more beautiful!"

E Wenzhu sneered again, Qiqige had been running horses and hunting eagles all day on the grassland, her skin was tanned, her hands were covered with calluses, she was as thin as a firewood stick, how beautiful she was!

The palace maid Hongque came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the procession to welcome the bride has already set off, and the canonization ceremony will begin soon."

E Wenzhu quickly helped Qiqige up, "Be more energetic, don't lose face to us Horqin."

Qiqige picked up the apple on the table and held it in her arms, "Please do one thing."

E Wenzhu: "What's the matter?"

"Please shut up."

The line to welcome the relatives was extremely long, and the eunuchs were carrying flags and sedan chairs, and all of them put on red clothes, looking very festive.

The emperor does not have to come to welcome the bride in person, but a minister comes to announce the decree and confer the gold book and gold treasure that symbolizes the status of the queen.

The minister who announced the decree read a long paragraph of polite words, and the female officer selected from the palace handed it to Qiqige with the gold seal.

Qiqige kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness, and took over the golden seal.

She thought to herself, no wonder everyone wants to be a queen, and the big golden seal made of pure gold is worth it!

After the canonization ceremony, Qiqige boarded Fengluan, and the welcoming team set off from Xian'an Palace to Kunning Palace.She will hold a tent ceremony with the emperor in Kunning Palace.

The Kunning Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red silk and satin are hung everywhere.After Qiqige got off the sedan chair, the female family members of the royal family went up to meet her, some supported Qiqige, some took the apple from Qiqige's hand, and then handed over a vase containing jewels, gold, silver, and grains to Qiqige. Qige hugged.

There is a saddle at the gate of Kunning Palace, and the family members put the apples brought by Qiqige under the saddle, and let Qiqige step over, which means peace and safety.

Sitting on the tent is also called sitting blessing. The emperor and empress need to sit on the bed of the dragon and the phoenix, facing the south direction, eat the cakes of the descendants, and drink the wine.

Qiqige sat on Longfengxi's bed with her treasure bottle in her arms, secretly looking at the emperor.

This emperor is only 16 years old this year, and he looks handsome, but he just has a straight face, as if someone owes him money.

The female family members of the clan came to preside over the ceremony, and couples of guards outside Kunning Palace stood under the eaves and sang the congratulatory song in Manchu.

Qiqige withdrew her thoughts and concentrated on the matter in front of her.

After the tedious and lengthy tent sitting ceremony was over, the emperor and Qiqige drove to the Compassion Ning Palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and offer their wishes.

Finally, the emperor went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to hold a grand court, received congratulations from princes and ministers, issued imperial edicts, and held grand banquets.The Empress Dowager, the Empress and all the family members feasted and celebrated in the harem.

In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Empress Dowager sits on the throne, and the Empress sits next to her. Below are the emperor's concubines of Fujin, and below that are the female relatives of the royal family.

Concubine Fujin and others took turns to toast and say auspicious words. The Empress Dowager smiled and introduced to Qiqige. Qiqige only needs to nod and drink.

The queen mother is only in her 40s this year, she looks very young, and her smile is gentle and kind.

She smiled at Qiqige: "Prince Jian Fujin is your own sister. She is pregnant and will give birth soon, but unfortunately she can't come here today. It would be even better if she is here on your big day."

Qiqige smiled and said: "Our sisters are all in the capital, and we will meet more in the future! Thank you Queen Mother for thinking about my sister."

The queen mother said: "The customs of the capital city and the grassland are different. You may not get used to it when you first come here. You will be fine after you live here for a long time. There are many concubines from Mongolia in the palace. You can pass the time by walking around with them."

Qiqige smiled and nodded, looking very cute.

A round-faced nanny suddenly walked up to the Queen Mother and whispered a word. This nanny was the famous Lagu Su Ma.

The queen mother was still smiling, but Qiqige noticed that her breathing was disordered.

At this time, the banquet was coming to an end, the queen mother said with a smile: "Queen, don't rush back to the palace, I haven't seen my relatives in my hometown for many years, come and talk to me."

Qiqige got up and said with a smile: "The relatives in my hometown also miss the Queen Mother. It is my blessing to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, announced the end of the banquet, and led Qiqige away.In the main hall, the concubine of Jin Dynasty and the family members looked at each other. Today is the emperor's wedding. After the banquet, the queen should go back to the bedroom and enter the bridal chamber with the emperor. If the queen mother wants to chat with the queen, she doesn't have to be at this moment, right?

In the Empress Dowager's dormitory, the Empress Dowager took Qiqige to sit on the soft bed and was very affectionate.

The queen mother smiled and said: "You are not only my daughter-in-law, but also my nephew and grandnephew in terms of seniority. You don't have to be restrained here, you can be as comfortable as you want."

Qiqige smiled shyly, not daring to take this seriously.Although they are relatives, they have never met each other, so they have some kind of family affection.It's just that everyone's surname is Borzigit, and they naturally stand in the same camp, so the queen mother is willing to show her kindness.

Aunt Su Ma brought refreshments in person, and the queen mother talked about the interesting stories of her childhood on the grassland. Qi Qige relaxed after hearing this kindly.

While chatting, the queen mother turned the topic to the emperor, "The emperor likes gentle and gentle girls, but which of our Mongolian ladies has no temper? Because of this, the Mongolian concubines in the palace are not very favored."

Speaking of this, the queen mother looked at Qiqige's expression.I saw that she pinched a piece of milk pastry in her hand and ate it in small bites, as if the Queen Mother was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

The queen mother sighed softly and said: "You and E Wenzhu are sisters, do you know why one became queen and the other Fujin?"

Qiqige put down her snack and said casually, "Is it because I'm a sister?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "It's right or wrong. It's right to order the old and the young. The most important thing is that you have a softer temper. Concubine Jing is also your aunt. She is good in everything, but her temper is too arrogant. If It's not that she is jealous and proud, the emperor will not insist on abolishing the empress."

Qiqige couldn't agree in her heart, it's obvious that your son was rebellious and didn't like the queen you chose, so there's no need to rely everything on Concubine Jing!

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely not fight against the emperor."

The queen mother smiled and said, "I'm relieved if you think so. Tonight... the emperor has some important government affairs to deal with, and he has already returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to approve the memorial. I'm afraid I can't... consummate the marriage with you. Don't worry too much."

Even if the city government is as deep as the queen mother, it is very difficult to say these words.Abandoning the queen on the day of the big wedding, isn't that slapping the queen in the face?

Qiqige was greatly relieved when she heard this, it's great that she can't consummate the house!Although I have lived two lifetimes and have the heart of a sister Yu, I am still underage!

She smiled and said: "Thank you Queen Mother for taking care of me, I understand, you specially called me here because you are afraid that I will be sad. The other one is to tell the concubine Fujin in the palace that even if I have no favor, I still have your protection!"

The empress dowager was very pleased that her kindness could be appreciated.

Qiqige said again: "There are no outsiders here, you are my aunt, I will tell my aunt what is on my mind! Before I came to the capital, I was ready to be unfavored for the rest of my life. Look at me, black and thin, black and long It’s like a fire stick, how could the emperor take a fancy to me? My only advantage is my good temper, if the emperor scolds me for neglecting me in the future, I will never retaliate, do you think it’s okay?”

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I have wronged you."

Qiqige laughed and said, "What's wrong with this? Being a queen has food and drink, and a golden seal as big as that. I'm very happy to be a queen!"

The queen mother talked a lot of gossip along Qiqige, coaxing her very happily, and didn't let her go back to Xian'an Palace until it was almost three o'clock.

After Qiqige left, Aunt Su Ma smiled to the queen mother: "The queen mother is kind and simple, very caring!"

The queen mother sighed: "You really can talk, she is not simple, she is clearly naive. She is still young, how does she know how painful a life without favor and love in the deep palace..."

Because of Qiqige, the Queen Mother remembered the days outside the customs again.At that time, the palace of my sister Hai Lanzhu was called Guanju Palace. The name of the palace was taken from the "Book of Songs", Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, a gentle lady, a gentleman likes a good man.

Qiqige didn't know that she had aroused the empress dowager's melancholy thoughts. She went back to Xian'an Palace, took off her jewelry, took off her clothes and went to sleep. The maid wiped her face and removed her makeup without waking her up.

The next morning, Aruna pushed Qiqige several times before she woke up. "Ma'am, it's time to get up."

Qiqige covered her mouth and yawned, "Let me lie down for a while, I'm so tired!"

She hasn't rested since she entered the Forbidden City. Before the big wedding, she has to practice etiquette and learn the rules.Yesterday's big wedding was even more tiring. Every suit she wore was thick and heavy, and the weight of jewelry almost crushed her shoulders.

Aruna said in embarrassment: "I know that my mother is tired, but...but the emperor has a decree to come here."

Qiqige reluctantly got up from the bed, dressed neatly and went out to receive the order.

The eunuch who delivered the decree said a lot of things, Qiqige summed it up, it probably meant that she left the Compassion Palace too late last night, delayed the queen mother's rest, was very unfilial, the emperor reprimanded her for this very severe decree.

After hearing this, Qiqige frowned. In order to find fault, the emperor must have worked too hard!

The author has something to say:

Qiqige: Oh, man!Are you trying to get my attention?you made it!
