The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 323 Arrival
Just after Yin time, before dawn, Zarafin was woken up by Huang Ah, and she sat on the bed in a daze, with a dazed face.

"Master, get up quickly, you need to freshen up, even though you are wearing plain clothes, you must not face the sky." Huang Ah leaned into her ear and said.

Zarafin nodded, let Huang Ah help him to the bathroom in a daze, and sat in front of the bronze mirror after washing up, with a faint smile on his face.

In the bronze mirror, Zarafin looked at her rosy cheeks and bright eyes.

"Huang, you can hold the head of the young couple for me, and use the hairpin of Magnolia that day." Zarafin said.

"Master, we are going to sacrifice, should we put a cloisonne butterfly hairpin on the bun at the back?" Huang Ah asked.

"No, I'm not a member of the royal family." Zarafin flatly refused.

According to regulations, the female family members of the royal family will put a butterfly hairpin on the back of the swallowtail head. This cloisonne hairpin is specially prepared for the royal family.

"Master, the fourth elder brother told you to put your hairpin on." Huang Ah looked at Zarafin and said.

"No need!" Zarafin flatly refused, and asked Huang Ah to comb his hair as soon as possible, then walked to the dining room with a handkerchief.

After a simple breakfast, she walked directly to the main hall.

The queen's phoenix sedan chair was parked in the courtyard, she walked into the hall, the queen was dressed in bright yellow uniform, and sat on the main seat.

"Jiaojiao, follow me in a soft sedan chair, and stand on my right side when offering sacrifices to heaven." The queen told Zarafin.

"Auntie, Hun also told me to follow him." Zarafin was a little puzzled, who should he listen to?

The queen took a special look at Zarafin's bun on the back, and found that she didn't wear the butterfly hairpin.

"Where's the hairpin?" the queen asked.

"Auntie, I'm not considered a member of the royal family, so why do you want to wear the hairpin of the butterfly?" Zarafin couldn't understand.

"Huang, go and bring the hairpin here." The queen ordered.

Huang Ah hurriedly took the order and left, walking towards the main entrance, Zarafin just wanted to refuse, but was stopped by the queen.

"Auntie, who do you think is best for me to follow?" Zarafin asked.

"Follow Hongli." The queen made a concession.

When offering sacrifices to heaven, the queen was at the front. If Zarafin followed her, he would definitely be in the eyes of the censors and be impeached.

Zarafin nodded, and Huang Ah quickly took the hairpin and pinned it directly behind her bun.

At the second quarter of Yin time, the queen walked out with Zarafin on the hour. Yongzheng and Hongli stood in the middle of the courtyard, watching them.

"Jiaojiao, stay by Yuanshou's side and absolutely don't run around." Yongzheng said directly.

Zarafin quickly responded: "Uncle, I understand."

Hongli took her little hand and was about to walk to the side of the sedan chair.

"Yuanshou, but Gao Jiaojiao will follow me into the Temple of Heaven, you go there first!" The queen didn't want Zarafin to be alone with Hongli, "Otherwise, the censors will definitely gossip."

Zarafin walked into the sedan chair with the queen, and the aunt and nephew sat together. Zarafin rode the phoenix for the first time, and looked at the scenery outside through the gap.

"Jiaojiao, is it good-looking?" the queen asked.

"Auntie, it's very big here, and it's very comfortable to sit in." Zarafin nodded, "However, the scenery outside is well covered."

"There is a price to pay for all of these." The queen said with emotion, "And, you may have to sit in this position in the future."

Zarafin looked up at her: "Auntie."

"From today onwards, you must watch my every move. If there is anything you don't understand, you must ask me in private." The queen said.

Zarafin became suspicious: "Auntie, don't be in such a hurry."

"No," the queen shook her head, "After entering the royal family, it is different from what you have come into contact with before. Although you have been by my side for a long time, Lord Long Live and I are protecting you, and Hongli will not let you touch it." into more darkness."

The phoenix sedan chair was slowly carried into the sacrificial courtyard, all the royal family members knelt down to pay their respects, and Zarafin shrank her small body.

The sedan chair stopped, and the queen left the sedan chair first, stood in front of the sedan chair, and exchanged greetings with the female relatives.

After a cup of tea, Fu Rong opened the door curtain of the sedan chair and let Zarafin come out quickly.

The female relatives were all taken into the palace by the queen, which was to divert Zarafin's attention so that those people could not see her.

"Aunt Furong, should I wait in the side hall?" Zarafin didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family's female relatives.

Those people's mouths are very unreasonable, and they will definitely deal with her together today.

"No, everyone knows that you are coming, so they must come forward." Fu Rong flatly refused.

Zarafin had no choice but to listen to Furong's persuasion and followed her into the hall.

After saluting to everyone, the Fujin of several princes all had smiles on their faces, and their attitudes were very different from when they met before.

"Empress, look at Jiaojiao, but she has grown up, and when she enters the spring of Wuling, she will be able to take good care of the fourth elder brother." Zhijun Wang Fujin said.

Zarafin's eyes widened. The king of Zhijun was grounded by Kangxi, and he was able to come out to court only after Yongzheng pleaded.

Zhijun Wang Fujin followed Fujin Zhang's family, and had a very bad reputation among the empress and other concubines.

"Sister-in-law's words are serious. Jiaojiao's grade is young, so she must be under Sifu Jin." The queen said while protecting Zarafin.

Zhijun Wang Fujin's heart skipped a beat, everyone sitting there knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like Sifujin very much, and even ordered her feet to be grounded before offering sacrifices to heaven, which definitely trampled on Sifujin's face.

When Zarafin heard what the queen said, he stood quietly aside, not daring to interrupt.

"Sister-in-law Si is right." Jiu Fujin said quickly. "We watched Jiaojiao grow up together, and her temper has softened a bit. Some methods in the palace are still very unfamiliar to her. Sister-in-law, you may have to take the trouble to teach her some more."

"Jiu Sister's words are very true. It's great that Jiaojiao is protected by me. Si Fujin is a well-behaved person and won't make things difficult for him." The Queen looked at Jiu Fujin and said.

"Sister-in-law Si, you are still saying good things for Si Fujin? I heard that Si Fujin changed into a maid's clothes and ran back to her mother's house. This is a bit out of order." Shi Fujin's words were very harsh weighty.

"Sister-in-law Shi, you can't talk nonsense about this." Twelve Fujin was secretly surprised when he heard this.

"Hehe, our Si Fujin has no rules, thinking that the spring scenery of Wuling is really hers?" Shi Fujin sneered.

Twelve Fujin didn't dare to say any more, for fear of offending the queen, he was sweating for Si Fujin.
