The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 369

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, snowflakes fell in the sky, and many slaves were sent out on the street to clear the ice and shovel the snow. When the time of mao began, members of the royal family and clan members and female relatives would start rushing to Fengxian Hall one after another. sacrificed.

Both sides of the street are covered with curtains, and the royal motorcade will start from the Yuanmingyuan and Changchun Gardens to the direction of Fengxian Hall.

At the second quarter of Yin time, the Xinghuachun hall was brightly lit, Zarafin was wearing her side Fujin court dress, her hair was combed into a dovetail, and because she was going to wear a court crown, it was just a round bun on top.

"Master, you should eat first and then take it with you." Huang Ah advised.

"Has Ah Hun come over?" Zarafin looked at Huang Ah and asked.

Today, they have to wear auspicious clothes to worship their ancestors. The clothes are very cumbersome. Therefore, let the servants prepare some meals in advance, all of which are convenient for wearing auspicious clothes.

"Jiaojiao, hurry up and eat." Hongli walked in wearing elder brother's court clothes.

In the dining room, the two sat at the dining table and began to eat breakfast. Zarafin directly took the handkerchief from Huang'a's hand, stuffed it around his neckline, and ate breakfast happily.

Seeing her eating, Hongli burst into joy with a snort.

"Ah, why are you so happy?" Zarafin asked suspiciously.

"How old is Jiaojiao?" Hongli asked, but the chopsticks did not stop. He calculated the time, and there was not much time left for them to have breakfast.

"Ah, you need to eat more, there are a lot of things to prepare today." Zarafin looked at Hongli and said.

Hongli hastily ate his breakfast, and Huang Ah took another food box and handed it to Gao Wuyong.

"Ah, I prepared some snacks for you, they are not big anyway, one bite at a time." Zarafin asked Gao Wuyong to open it, and found that there were many flavors he liked inside.

Hongli went out first, and Fujin, Su Gege, and Jingege all came to the gate of Xinghuachun Pavilion. The three saluted Hongli respectfully. He raised his legs and got into the carriage. Fujin faced the carriage Fufu, Get ready to go and sit in the carriage behind.

Zarafin came out of the courtyard and found that Fujin looked a little ugly, so he stood up straight and waited for Zarafin to greet her.

"Jiaojiao, don't sit in the back, sit in front with me." Hongli said directly.

Zarafen looked at Hongli in surprise, and looked at her through the car window. When Fujin heard Hongli's words, she felt chills in her heart. The one who could sit in the same carriage with Hongli should be her confidence, not Side Fujin.

"Master, isn't this a bit too much?" Fujin looked at Hongli and said.

Hongli smiled coldly: "Don't you want to sit in the back?"

Gao Wuyong put the horse stool on the ground, and helped Zarafin get into the car, she stood aside in embarrassment.

"What's the delay, Jiaojiao get in the car," Hongli said softly, "Fu Jin, get in the car quickly, I can't delay the trip just because of you."

After Sifujin bowed to Hongli expressionlessly, he helped the mother beside him and went to the car behind.

After the car curtain was lowered, Sifujin's face darkened in an instant. Nanny, Liu Xu and the others were very nervous, and Sifujin was in a bad mood. Those who served close to him would most likely be punished.

The atmosphere in Fujin's carriage was condensed, while that of Hongli's carriage was warm.

Zarafin sat beside the kang table, holding a teacup in his small hand, sipping water one sip at a time.

"Drink less. There is still no convenient place to wait for the sacrifice. Before getting out of the car, it will be convenient at the back." Hongli pointed to the clean room at the back and said.

"Ah, Fujin must hate me to death." Zarafin pouted slightly.

Hongli chuckled happily: "Jiaojiao, you don't have to take this matter to heart, who can control the fact that the Lord let you in?"

Zarafin leaned on his arm and looked at the roof of the carriage with a helpless expression.

"Ah, how long will I have to kneel when I go to sacrifice later? I'm looking at the snowflakes in the sky." Zarafin complained a little.

"I've followed Ama and Erniang to worship ancestors for so long, and this is the first time I've seen snowfall." Hongli told Zhalafin, "Are you wearing thick clothes under your court clothes?"

"Ah, I'm wearing thick clothes." Zarafin patted his chest and said.

She purposely put on a string of eighteen purple jadeites given by Hongli, which was somewhat different from the eighteen strings she had put on. This string was more expensive and more exquisitely crafted.

"Ah, do you wear knee pads on your knees?" Zarafin specially asked someone to make knee pads, for fear that Hongli's knees would catch cold.

"Yes, Jiaojiao, don't prepare these next time, just wear them yourself. If I pass it on, Han Mafa and Ama will find out. It's okay once or twice. If there is too much time, It must be impossible." Hongli took a small copper stove from the side and put it in her hand.

Zarafin looked at the small heater, which was only as big as the palm of her hand. Hongli took two small heaters and put them in her hands. here.

"Ah, this one is really warm." On the middle button of Zarafin's court clothes, there was a small pouch pinned to it, which was just enough to hold two small heaters.

"It's specially prepared for you. When kneeling outside, you have to protect yourself so that your hands don't get cold. Mother Su went to find someone to arrange a futon for you, so that yours won't get cold." Hongli squeezed She squeezed her little paw.

"I had someone try it out, and it can last until the end of the sacrifice." Hongli said.

She stared at him in surprise. She had seen such a small stove on a certain treasure, and it could be made with modern technology. Unexpectedly, in the Qing Dynasty, the workmanship was better than what she had seen before, and the warmth retention was stronger.

"There is also this small incense ball, which is lit with sandalwood. No matter how you move it, the sandalwood inside will not fall." Hongli pinned the incense ball next to her cheongsam pendant. The small incense ball Just beat on the waist.

"Ah, the incense balls are really beautiful!" Zarafin found that the incense balls were hollowed out hibiscus flowers, exuding a hint of sandalwood fragrance.

"I have this!" Hongli moved his purse away, revealing an incense ball of the same size at his waist, but with a magnolia pattern on it.

Zarafin's favorite is magnolia flower, and Hongli's favorite is magnolia flower and hibiscus flower, so the two specially exchanged the incense balls.

"Ah, did you use sandalwood?" Zarafin looked at it with bright eyes.

"Yes, this fragrance is most suitable for sacrifice." Hongli said, pinching her little face.

"Ah, after the sacrifice, don't act like you are going out. If you insist on letting me ride in the carriage with you, Fujin will definitely complain to me." Zarafin said.

"You still have to go with me, your carriage didn't follow." Hongli said.
