The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 360 Man Tian
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the weather suddenly turned dry and cold, and there were no snowflakes floating under the dark night sky. Zarafin lay under the silk quilt and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

"Jiaojiao, get up quickly, we will go to Wan Fangan and ask for peace later." After Hongli's morning exercise, he found that Zarafin was still asleep.

"Ah Hun." Zarafin stretched out his hands towards Hongli, he took two quick steps, and lifted her up.

"We will have breakfast later, but today we have to wear thick clothes, so don't let yourself get cold." Hongli said directly.

Zarafin nodded: "Isn't it snowing outside?"

"The weather is a bit abnormal. Tomorrow, the banquet will be held in a temporary tent set up by Dashuifa. Someone has made ginger soup in advance. After returning, the dining room will definitely be busy." Hongli kissed her cheek and said .

Zarafin pursed his lips and said cheerfully: "Ah, I know everything, you have already said it several times."

After breakfast, Zarafin wore apricot-yellow winter clothes, and on her hair she wore tassels made of emeralds of various colors. This was the first time she had used talons, and usually she wore a pair of small hairpins.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Zarafen has to adapt to the weight of the tin. On the first day of the new year, when worshiping ancestors, everyone wears auspicious clothes for worshiping the ancestors and wears tin as decorations on their heads.

Since the tin is lined with mink velvet and made of silver thread on the outside, it is much heavier than ordinary ones. Where did Red Apple ask the minions made inside to reduce the weight, and to insert hairpins and folk remedies on the outside of the tin? Wait, didn't actually lose much weight.

"Jiaojiao, it's better to wear tianzi." When Zarafen came out, Hongli's eyes lit up. The apricot-yellow winter uniform was wrapped with a layer of black mink fur on the collar, skirt and cuffs. It set off her more noble and elegant.

"But it's very heavy." Zarafin complained, "Ah, can I be dissatisfied with the tin, as long as I have half a tin."

"Auspicious clothes must be worn with full tins, and Erniang still wears phoenix tins, which will be heavier. I have already asked someone to lighten the weight for you." Hongli looked at Zarafin helplessly.

In the past, Zarafin disliked the fact that the head was too heavy, and would even wear a few velvet flowers, and no longer matched the extra head. Every time the queen looked at her, she would laugh at her.

Under Hongli's promise, Zarafin didn't take it off, and got into the soft sedan chair, ready to go to Wanfang for peace.

At this time, Wanfang Anhe's hall was full of court ladies who came to pay their respects. These people were dressed in winter court clothes and wore high-grade Tianmantian on their heads, and many of them moved their necks quietly.

Looking at the situation in front of her, the queen couldn't help worrying about Zarafen, the little girl was going to appear in auspicious clothes today, Man Tian was even more heavy, and the little swallow's tail had to be combed.

The little Sula outside announced that Si Age, Si Fujin, and Sibian Fujin had arrived. The Queen looked at the door and saw that Zarafin's clothes and tops were very regular, and there was absolutely no violation of the rules. .

After the three of them saluted, the queen looked at the auspicious clothes of Sifujin and Zarafin. Sifujin was dressed according to the rules, and the headdress was more gorgeous than Zarafen, and even more magnificent than the ones used by the concubines.

The queen's eyes flickered slightly. Although Sifujin wanted to suppress Zarafin, some headgears were out of order.

"Your Majesty, Sifujin's outfit is very beautiful." Concubine Qi looked at Sifujin's attire, and smiled while pinching a handkerchief to cover her mouth.

Although Concubine Qi is now a concubine, most of the hair and face were brought from the mansion.

"Father of the fourth family, Madam Qi didn't tell you the rules?" The queen said while looking at Si Fujin.

Si Fujin quickly got up and knelt in the hall: "Emperor Niang, this set of auspicious clothes and haircuts for my daughter-in-law were prepared by the House of Internal Affairs."

The queen looked at Sifu Jin. Before she put on her clothes, she had already thought of a way out. This excuse saved her from losing her reputation. Zarafen appeared in front of her and found that the Mantian that Zarafen brought was only Diancui. The one made of emeralds is still made of silver thread, and it is not as luxurious as Sifujin.

"Okay, sit down first, remember not to do this again tomorrow." The queen looked at Si Fujin and said.

When Zarafin heard that the queen was the first to attack, all the officials and family members lowered their heads and paid no attention to the royal affairs at all.

"Yes!" Sifujin took the order and sat down.

Prince Zhi Wang Fujin pursed his lips and said: "Madam, Hongyu has returned to the garden, and he insists on making a fuss."

"It would be great to let him follow Yuanshou, but he must be thrown into the military camp." The queen said helplessly, "Long Live Lord also said that Hong Yu doesn't need to go back this time, and he will go on business with Yuanshou."

The direct prince Wang Fujin bowed and saluted: "Thank you, empress."

Neither the emperor nor Yongzheng thought of letting Hongyu go to the military camp again, but Yinfei felt that his son should go to the military camp.

"You don't need to thank me, I will definitely tell you what Long Live Lord told you." The queen said.

After the female relatives arrived, the queen got up and said, "Let's go together to pay respects to the empress dowager.",

In the palace of the Empress Dowager, many old Fujins from outside the pass have come over. These people are all noble daughters from Mongolia, and some of them even have a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, when the next draft is held, the eldest grandson of my minister's wife will die. When the time comes, I beg your Majesty to point out a good one." said Prince Fujin of Li.

Prince Li used to be a descendant of Daishan, and the only grandson was still weak, and he was already 18 years old. Doctor Xu also said that he would have to wait a few years to take good care of his body before he could get married. In one sentence, everyone's mouths were directly sealed.

Prince Fujin is even more like referring to marriage. The princesses outside the pass are very tough. Prince Fujin is worried that if these people become his first wives, they will definitely dislike their grandson.

"Don't worry, I will arrange one. What do you want?" The Empress Dowager looked at Prince Fujin and asked.

"Don't be so tough, at least it's good to be different from the princesses outside the customs. It's good to have a husband who can stand up and take care of you." Prince Fujin knew that their clans outside the customs were just relying on the honor of their ancestors. There are only a few that can stand, and a few have died out.

"Gadai, you are well, just watch your grandson grow up. If your son is too mischievous, let your grandson live here!" The sons and heirs continued to die young, leaving only the legitimate son in the third generation, who was still a little weak.

The eldest son Fujin is even more famous, and he is tolerant on the surface, but in fact, there are still a lot of small tricks, which made many elder brothers in the courtyard disappear. After Prince Li learned about it, he personally took the servants to visit the eldest son In the mansion, many concubines were killed, and this single Miao Miao was taken back to the old house and raised by Prince Fujin of Li before he could reach adulthood.

"Your Majesty, I got it!" Prince Li Fu Jin nodded, she knew what the Empress Dowager meant, that is, the son must be rejected by the Long Live Lord, otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not imply that she would do this.
