The good times of Fujin

After a group of foreigners felt the charm of the Chinese New Year, before they could recover from the gorgeous dances and delicious food at the banquet, the queen's canonization ceremony officially began.

According to the schedule, the first day was a welcome banquet for the Emperor Gaomiao and the Western envoys.Although this group of Western visitors had already arrived in the Qing Dynasty, under Qianlong's intentional or unintentional arrangements, the day they arrived in Beijing was already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and they took a rest for a day to visit the emperor on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.Then, they caught up with the complicated etiquette and extremely lively Chinese Lunar New Year.

The characteristics of royal festivals are as extravagant as they are extravagant, as lively as they are lively.Although Hongli has been frugal a lot since he came to power, only the Lunar New Year can be extravagant. It is considered as giving benefits to employees inside and outside the palace. Even companies in the 21st century have to hold annual meetings and distribute New Year's goods.No matter how bad the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty was, it had to be celebrated!Only once a year!

The Western envoys were attracted by the vast land of China on the way here, and they were planning to fry some oil on this piece of fat. Now they have seen the richness of this country: endless delicacies from mountains and seas, countless The silk and satin of the Qing Dynasty, if they don't scrape some oil and water back, they will be sorry for the wealth of this country.Hmph, I don't even have a decent ocean-going ship, so if I want to cooperate, I don't have to pay a price!

Looking at the greed in their eyes, Qianlong narrowed his eyes slightly.Hehe, I told you to lose your mind and wait for Lao Tzu to deal with you!The welcome party was very successful, all kinds of food and wine, big meals and side dishes, and the group of foreigners who ate by relying on dark cuisine and simple seasonings were full of brains, wishing they could bring a few royal chefs back to China.

The next day, the sealing ceremony was officially held.The normal canonization ceremony was inherently complicated①, and the emperor added an imperial decree praising the queen to the complicated ceremony, and even modified the last part of the canonization process.The queen's return to the palace was changed to accepting worship from officials and Western envoys.

Because men and women have always been seated separately in large banquets in the palace, this is the first time this group of Western envoys have seen Jing Xian.Jing Xian is originally a glamorous beauty, and even glamorous is a little aggressive, which is why Zeng Hongli didn't like her.But this kind of glamorous woman is the standard appreciated by Europeans.What's more, Jing Xian is not just good-looking, she wears a heavy dress and Dongzhu, Jing Xian is dignified and majestic. A group of European visitors spoke highly of Jing Xian.

The married women also have to bow down to Jing Xian, including the concubines in the palace.Originally, the married woman was supposed to kneel down in front of her husband and son-in-law, but considering that Jingxian still had to accept the concubine's prostration, the married woman went to the harem anyway.After all, the queen can be said to be the mother of the world, so it's okay for the outsider to see her.If a group of concubines (especially concubines) show their faces in this way, it would really be insulting to gentlemen.Seeing that the emperor listened to everyone's persuasion in the end, a group of old scholars breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to worry about their wife being seen by other men—even if he didn't like it, it didn't hinder his possessiveness.

After accepting the official's prostration, Jingxian returned to the palace and accepted the concubine's and concubine's prostration.Because of the emperor's "restraint", today's harem is really not as grand as the beauties of the Qianlong Dynasty.Under the leadership of Su Shi and Jin Jia Shi, a group of beauties presented presents to the queen, expressed their joy, and then sat beside them, watching Jing Xian being bowed down by the married woman.

Now there are more people, the leader is Prince Lu, old Fujin.In terms of seniority and family status, this one is well-deserved.The one following behind is Erinbu.People came in wave after wave, people as old as Prince Fu Jin who had been waiting since morning, and now they were already very tired, so Jing Xian sent them out of the palace directly.Those who are as close as Erlinbu, Jingxian Erniang and her natal sister-in-law are left in the side hall, waiting to speak after the prostration is over.As for Xueru Fujin who didn't know his own status, he was sent out after kowtowing, without even being able to say a word that was unnecessary.

Jingxian dismissed the idlers, leaving only Erlinbu and her own natal family, went into the inner room, changed into light clothes, and came out to chat.Today's Jingxian doesn't need to put on the airs of a queen to make the concubines and wives "scared", just ordinary plain palace clothes, simple two handles and a few unremarkable but well-made gold-studded jade hairpins, It also failed to conceal her peerless elegance and dignified atmosphere.A person's aura can never be set off by simple clothes and jewelry. If there is no confidence, no matter how solemn and gorgeous the clothes are, it is just a clothing display stand.In the past, because Jing Xian was not favored and was a successor, she always felt uneasy in one way or another, and her aura fell down instead.Today's Jing Xian, with the favor of the emperor, and her son is well-behaved and smart, has high hopes from the emperor, and the aura of the superior is naturally supported.

Seeing that Jing Xian has gotten better and better since she married into the palace, and now she has become the queen of the world.Er Linbu couldn't help sighing: the fortune in life is really wonderful. Hearing the meaning behind the words of his prince, it turns out that the emperor loves the weak type of beauty the most. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with Jingxian and even favored him all these years.

"Fifth brother and sister, how are you doing recently? I heard that your house has been a little lively recently?" Hearing that there was a side Fujin in Hongzhou's family who was pregnant and dishonest, Jing Xian was concerned.Inside and outside the palace, the only one who can be called friends with Jing Xian is Elinbu, the sister-in-law.

"If you go back to your mother, thanks to the blessings of the two empress dowagers and the concubine, we are all doing well. Even if the excitement is small, it is too small to count." E Linbu smiled naturally, just a Zhang Jia family, not too much Make her uncomfortable.She was originally a Fujin, she would have to face these things sooner or later, she knew it all.What's more, if that Zhang Jia's jumping is so powerful, the old concubine will take care of him personally.Don't look at the old concubine eating fast and chanting Buddha all day long, but if anyone dares to disturb the peace of the house that is in trouble with the prince's mansion, then she is really an old birthday star drinking arsenic-suicide.

Seeing Elinbu's smile, Jing Xian was also slightly relieved. "When I entered the palace today, why didn't I bring Zhuobola Kuyierha with me? It's been a while since I've seen you, the two queen mothers and this palace all miss that little boy." Zhuobola Kuyierha because of his father's publicity And constantly asking for rewards from the queen mothers of the two palaces, all the masters in the palace (especially the queen mother, the emperor and Jing Xian) loved this little girl very much.

It's not that the emperor has no daughters, but unfortunately, there is only one big princess alive, and the one taught by Empress Fucha is a bit supercilious and not very pleasing.Now I have lived in the North Fifth Institute, and there is only such a small master in the entire North Fifth Institute. Naturally, the treatment is high-standard, but if it is warm, it must not be there.The girls surrounded by the rules by the nuns are naturally not cuter than Zhuo Bola Kuyerha who was "raised free-range" by Hong Zhou, not to mention, Zhuo Bola Kuyerha is still young and just When it's fun, it's not surprising that everyone thinks of her.

"If you go back to your mother, today is a good day for your mother. It is really inconvenient to take her with you. If you really want to see her, I will just hand you the sign tomorrow. Your mother, don't stop us two because of other things. It's fine outside the palace." Erinbu smiled ambiguously, and his eyes were even more ambiguous.In the past few days after the seal, the emperor must rest at the queen's place.Why did the queen leave the Erinbu mother and daughter outside? These married women knew it well, and they all laughed ambiguously.They are all from my own family, so there is no taboo, especially Jingxian's mother-in-law who smiles even more happily.

"You guys!" Jing Xian didn't expect Erin Bu to be able to joke about the pleasures of the boudoir in such an aboveboard way, and stared at him: "You go out quickly! Later, Fifth Brother will come to my Kunning Palace again to look for someone It’s gone!” Because Qianlong said that the emperor is the sky and should live in the Qianqing Palace, and the empress is Kun, so it is natural to live in the Kunning Palace. A palace suitable for long-term human habitation, not just a place of worship.Therefore, Jingxian became the first empress of the Qing Dynasty to live in Kunning Palace for a long time.

"Hey, the empress is tired of the servant girl? The servant girl will leave now, but I don't dare to waste your time." E Linbu put on a show and was about to leave.

"Look, after I told her, she picked up Joe! I don't even know who started it first!" Jing Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and complained to her natal family.One of them is the empress, and the other is Prince Heshuo Fujin who holds the double prince's salary. Even the empress's natal family is not qualified to laugh and joke with the two of them, so they just laughed and said nothing.

"My good lady, just let me go! I still have to take care of Zhuobola Kuyierha! We will clean up early tomorrow morning, let the little girl come to congratulate you." Xiaoguaiguai is the nickname given by Hong Zhou, and his daughter is the most obedient!No more behaved.

"Come on, let's go!" Jing Xian didn't want to keep Elinbu too much, knowing that she could hold that Zhang Jia family in her hands, she was relieved.

Er Linbu resigned, Jingxian turned to chat with her natal family, and saw Naerbu's wife looking at Jingxian with both satisfaction and worry: "The concubine looks at her, she looks good." After a pause , "It's just that this post ceremony, isn't it a little too much?"

Although the Ulanara family is developing their power, it is all secretly. On the surface, the current Ulanara family is just a Manchurian surname. There are not many people in real high positions, and most of them are middle-level cadres. The meaning of the queen mother.However, the Ulanara family, which caused a lot of trouble with the empress dowager, has a lot of families. Everyone can see that the emperor attaches great importance to the empress, and they can also see who the empress dowager of the two palaces has more status.Now, the Ulanara family suddenly has many old friends and relatives - the Ulanara family, this is going to become another Tong Banchao!The queen of the Tong family was not so arrogant at the time!I thought the emperor had made some progress in women's sex in the past few years, but it turned out not to be...he just changed his target!

Prosperity is bound to decline, our ancestors have always taught us that no one will be happy for a hundred days, and flowers will not be red for a hundred days. The Ulanala family really doubts the emperor's intentions. Isn't this flattery?Tong Banchao back then, is there still one person left now?

"Emiang, tell your family to rest assured, do what you want to do, don't be afraid! The emperor knows it well, and the emperor's mother also knows it. But don't make it public, the most important thing is to be normal." Jing Xian just said This sentence led the conversation to the children of her elder brother's family, and they chatted with her sister-in-law.

After hearing Jing Xian's words, Mrs. Naerbu also put her heart into her stomach, talking and laughing with Jing Xian.

Turning around, it's a big day for the military parade...

The author has something to say: ①When the book was set up and the day was just dawn, Luan Yiwei Chen tried to drive Lubo outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and arranged for the empress to ride under the palace steps and outside the palace gate; the music department hung music outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony The officials of the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites set up the festival case in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the south, the book case to the left west, the treasure case to the right east, and the two Dragon Pavilions outside the cabinet door; The festival table is in the middle of the palace (the above are all facing south), and the treasure table is set on both sides of the palace gate, facing east and west, and the empress worship is located to the south of the incense table.

Wait for the festival to salute." After the announcement, the university scholar entered the left door of the hall, went to the middle case, held the festival, went out from the middle door, and went to Danbi, and bestowed the festival on the official envoy.The envoy and the deputy envoy stood up after accepting the festival.The cabinet and officials of the Ministry of Rites enter the left and right doors of the hall at the same time, and the books and treasure cases go out the middle door.The main envoys go forward, the deputy envoys accompany them, and the second is lowered to the middle rank.The cabinet and officials of the Ministry of Rites set up the books and treasures in the Dragon Pavilion, and they were carried by Luan Yiwei and left from the gate of Taihe.The emperor gave tea to princes and ministers.After drinking tea, the whips were blown three times, and the Zhonghe Shao Orchestra played "The Chapter of Xianping".Therefore, the emperor got up and returned to the palace, and the princes and officials all retired.

On the day when the canon is established, Neiluan Yiwei will also display Yijia and Lubo under the steps of the Queen's Palace and outside the palace gate. In the incense case, set up a book and a treasure case in the east and west, and set the queen to worship in front of the incense case, facing north; there are four female officials on the left and right of the worship place, and two female officials who read out to the south of the east case. Yu Jingyunmen.

After the envoys of the principal and deputy envoys were ordered to go out, from the middle gate of the Xiehe Gate to the outside of the Jingyun Gate, the envoys were awarded to the inner prison, and the neiluanyi school took the envoys and Baoting to the gate of the Queen's Palace.Afterwards, the inner eunuch entered the palace through the middle gate holding festivals, books and treasures in his hands.At this time, the Danbi band played music.The queen came out of the inner palace with the gift, and was greeted at the right side of the palace gate under the guidance of the maid of honor, and then entered the palace with her.

After entering the palace, the internal eunuch will put the festival in the middle case, and the book and Baowen in the east case.
