208 Chapter 208(1/2)
After Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he expressed his attitude to observe filial piety for the previous emperor for a full month - the people should observe filial piety for a full year, and the emperor wanted to govern the world, so this time was usually shortened, and some even shortened it to one month.
It is very rare for Emperor Yongzheng to have to stay for a full month.
Everyone in the court, whether they liked Si Age or not, had to praise him as "the new emperor is extremely filial".
At this point, Luo Jianing's life suddenly became busy.
The first thing Yinzhen did after he ascended the throne was to make his wife the queen, and then he made Concubine De the queen dowager. The other concubines of the former emperor and harem also consecrated those in high positions according to their rank, especially the concubines and concubines.
Concubine.
On the day Luo Jianing was granted the title, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly, which was a sign of great auspiciousness.
Because Yinzhen did not have a so-called harem, he personally placed her canonization edict in her hands.
After Luo Jianing took the edict, she said "Long live thanks" in a calm tone and was about to stand up. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen took her hand and pulled her to stand beside her, and smiled softly to her:
"I have finally waited for this day."
Finally, the day has come for the two of them to stand in the highest position together.
Luo Jianing understood what he meant, and considering that the children and some people from the harem were there, she whispered softly: "You don't need to deal with political affairs?"
Yinzhen chuckled softly in her ear: "I know that today is your canonization ceremony, so I specially made time to spend some time with you."
He is a very hard-working man, and has been busy with political affairs since he succeeded to the throne. The couple usually have very little time to see each other.
Now that he is able to free up this period of time, he must have dealt with a lot of things in advance - no wonder he stayed away all night last night. Luo Jianing asked several times and said that the emperor was still handling political affairs in the imperial study. It turned out to be for today's meeting
These are free.
Luo Jianing sighed in her heart. Even though she felt that she did not need him to take such trouble to accompany him, she was not willing to brush off his kindness, so she said: "Then we might as well go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." After that, the two of them handed over the edict.
He first handed it to Su Peisheng to put away, and the two of them took it to the Royal Garden.
After the two figures disappeared into the yard, Hongli was stunned for a long time, then turned to ask Honghui: "Brother, Huang Ama and Huang Er Niang have forgotten us?"
It was obvious that they were with the Emperor during the canonization ceremony just now.
Why did Emperor Amma drag Huang’s mother away without even giving them a look?!
Sister Chen said in a thoughtful voice, "Isn't this good? The two of them are going to visit the Royal Garden, and we can go back and read books and practice calligraphy by ourselves. It's good." Then he turned and left.
Now that Brother Shu's handwriting is getting better and better, she can't lose to him and has to practice better.
Honghui said: "Huang Ama has gone to the imperial garden. I have to go to the imperial study to see if there is anything that needs to be dealt with." Then he turned and went to the imperial study.
Since he succeeded to the throne, Yinzhen has been training his eldest son to learn government affairs from him. He firmly believed that Honghui was not as irreplaceable as Yinzhen, so he gave Honghui some important matters that were not particularly important to handle.
Honghui also did an excellent job, which made Yinzhen very satisfied.
The elder brothers and sisters left one after another, and now only the two younger ones were left standing in the yard, dumbfounded.
Hongli was stunned for a long time, then turned to ask Hongxian: "Do you want to go see Huang Ama and the others? Go and see if they have any delicious food."
Hongxian perked up when he heard "delicious" and nodded sharply.
Hongli became very proud of himself.
The Imperial Garden is in perfect color now.
Although it is winter, it shows a prosperous scene, and many green plants suitable for planting in winter have sprouted new buds.
Yinzhen said with a smile: "They are sensible enough to know that sprouts will sprout today. Otherwise, there would be no festive atmosphere in the palace, which would make you feel wronged."
Because they were still observing mourning for the emperor and did not have a month's mourning period, both of them were dressed plainly. Moreover, even after the queen's canonization ceremony, they could not hold a banquet to celebrate.
Yinzhen thought about all these things and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't do a good job and was too impatient, so you were wronged."
He wanted to give her the title of "Queen" as soon as possible and let her stand in the highest position with him as soon as possible, so he gave her the edict during the filial piety period of three months.
As a result, there was no way for her to hold a banquet to celebrate.
Luo Jianing knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Since you have me in your heart, I don't care about these things. What's the importance of holding a banquet or not? Why do I care about those people in vain?"
Yinzhen smiled and held her hand tightly: "As long as you understand me. I think, living in this harem, if you don't have a suitable status, it seems that your status is not as important as those people.
Already."
Any woman in the harem who can be picked out at random is a person of the late emperor. If she is still Princess Yong and has not been canonized as queen, her status will really not hold them back.
"You are wrong to worry about this." Luo Jianing said with a smile: "With you here, no one dares to look down on me."
Yinzhen also laughed.
The two of them walked forward in stride, speaking softly and sweetly.
Hongli and Hongxian followed the two of them from a distance, sneaking and mysterious.
In fact, Fulong and Gao Wuyong had already discovered the "following" of the two young princes, but the emperor and the empress pretended not to know, and their minions also pretended not to see it.
Hongxian couldn't help but ask Hongli in a low voice: "...Brother, what are we doing here?"
Hongli said sourly: "Have you noticed that Huang Ama and Huang Aniang have completely forgotten our existence."
Hongxian was confused: "So?"
"So let's just ignore them." Hong Li said angrily, taking his brother's little hand and heading to the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Let's go, brother will take you to pick out some beautiful gadgets. When you find that there is something missing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs
, let’s see if Huang’e Niang can remember us.”
Hongxian nodded with some understanding and some confusion.
He thought that his brother must have felt that his parents were too busy recently and had no time to pay attention to him, so he was so angry.
He has to stay with his brother well.
Moving into the harem is something Luo Jianing has long expected. But she has to take care of such a large harem... She really doesn't want to do this kind of thing, and even wants salted fish.
After a few busy days, Luo Jianing lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking carefully about what she couldn't do.
The women in the harem have been in the palace for a long time. Many of them are not of high rank but have developed a delicate temperament and are very picky about everything.
Even though she is now a queen, those people, relying on her status as the late emperor's woman, all thought that they were the queen's elders, and they immediately gave orders and were very powerful.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Jianing simply sat up and went to Yonghe Palace to find Concubine De, who is now the Queen Mother.
It was also a coincidence that Sister Chen was also in Yonghe Palace at this time, playing with the Queen Mother. The grandfather and grandson were chatting and laughing together, and they were so happy.
After Luo Jianing passed by, she smiled and saluted the Queen Mother, and asked with a smile: "What is the Queen Mother busy with? The weather is so good, why didn't she go out for a walk?"
The Queen Mother said: "I originally wanted to go out for a walk. But I thought it would be interesting to have sex with Sister Chen, so I stayed."
"Isn't it true that Yuan Shou insists on a pink bra?" Sister Chen lowered her head and kept talking in her hands: "When I told the imperial grandmother, she also thought it was very interesting that he wanted a pink bra for a boy, so she simply joined me.
The two of them made one for him to use. Two of them are enough for him to use for a while."
Speaking of the fact that Hongli liked pink things, Luo Jianing was helpless and could only laugh.
After chatting with others for a while, Luo Jianing talked about the purpose of her visit today: "...the nobles in this palace all have their status there. Although I have been canonized now, when I face them face to face, after all, I am still a little unable to do what I want.
."
The implication is that he cannot handle the relationship well with the concubines in the harem left behind by Emperor Kangxi.
The Queen Mother stopped what she was doing and was thoughtful.
Sister Chen ruthlessly exposed her mother's shortcomings: "Huang'e Niang, you said you are not good at these things. But when I see you dealing with those things in the shop on weekdays, you can handle things that are much more troublesome than this.
.Why can’t it happen now?”
The implication is, mother, are you just pretending?
Luo Jianing secretly wondered why this child kept talking about everything, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, you don't know, there are many twists and turns in the harem. For example, some things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not exactly the same, in terms of material and texture.
It’s all about color and workmanship
Gap. When it is time to distribute, a question arises. What is the appropriate difference between the things given by Concubine Hui in the yard and the things given by Concubine Yi in the yard? Whose is more expensive and who does not need to be so luxurious? Everywhere
It’s all knowledge.”
Sister Chen said in her heart that when she was in the shop, didn’t the Queen know everything well? How come she couldn’t do it when she got to the palace?
She was about to ask again, and at this time the Queen Mother spoke: "Actually, it's not that your empress doesn't know how to do these things, it's just that she doesn't dare to do them. The people in the harem are all left by the late emperor.
He is the elder of your mother-in-law. If you are facing an ordinary person, how can you
It's okay to do what is natural, and no one will say anything if it's just a little bit worse. But these are the words of the elders. If she, a junior, doesn't handle it well, she will be suspected of "snubbing the elders". In this way, she will be criticized outside the house.
If the court officials get involved, won't it become trouble?"
Luo Jianing thought to herself, it’s okay to say she doesn’t know how, or she doesn’t dare. In short, she was really worried about these things and didn’t want to worry about them, so she nodded.
Sister Chen nodded thoughtfully.
The Queen Mother said: "It's better to do this. Concubine Ding, Concubine Mi, I will discuss these trivial matters together. As for you, stay and observe. In short, you should stay less involved now. When you can get started later, we will take our time."
I'll leave it to you. How about it?"
The Queen Mother made this decision based on her own considerations.
Today, the Holy Emperor does not have anyone in the harem, he only has one official wife, the Queen. In that case, all the beauties in the palace are actually left behind by the late emperor.
She and Concubine Mi and Concubine Ding already knew the nature and preferences of these people. What's more, when the late emperor was still alive, the affairs of the Sixth Palace were in charge of their concubines. Now, if they are responsible for handling trivial matters
, those people couldn’t say anything.
In this way, not only would the Empress save some worry, but it would also allow those people to feel more at ease and not make troubles that would embarrass the young Empress.
