The incident of the queen almost having a miscarriage ended with the execution of the steward of the imperial kitchen and a bunch of palace servants below. The emperor went to Fengyi Palace in person and said something to the queen, but the queen actually compromised.
The National People's Congress changed their minds and replaced them with the Queen's "own people".
The New Year is approaching, and both the harem and the harem are busy. Xie Xiao has not entered the harem for nearly half a month. When he is very busy, the harem concubines rarely come to him. However, the precious concubine went to Taichen Palace once, but
He only came back after having dinner. Yuan Chongrong followed suit and went to Taichen Palace several times to invite him, but was rejected by the emperor.
As for the harem, the queen was concentrating on having a baby, and Yun Zhaorong was too busy alone. At this time, the queen mother appeared and temporarily supervised the affairs of the harem on the grounds that the New Year was approaching. It was natural for Yuan Chongrong to participate and left.
Part of the palace power.
Gu Panfu didn't care about this. She hadn't reached that position yet and couldn't get involved even if she wanted to. She was counting the days and preparing for the New Year. This was her first New Year in the palace, so she had to prepare well.
Live happily and give yourself a good fortune.
The annual holiday of Dazhou is very long, from New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It's not that the emperor doesn't care about anything. During this period, important memorials will be dealt with first, and occasionally ministers will be called into the palace to discuss matters, but these
There was no need to go to court in the morning, and the number of memorials was also reduced, which made it easier for the emperor to relax and unwind.
Royal festivals are no different from those among the people. They are probably more complicated. The emperor must first accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and then go to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. At noon, he will attend a state banquet with the officials and receive New Year's greetings and gifts from subordinate countries. In the evening,
Naturally, she is attending the family banquet. The concubines in the harem and the royal family members will all participate. And this is Gu Panfu’s main battlefield. There are not many concubines in the harem now, and there are still many opportunities for Gu Panfu to move up. She must be there as soon as possible.
Xie Xiao occupies a place in her heart. This time she set a small goal for herself, that is, to be the first person to sleep with her during the annual vacation.
On New Year's Day, Gu Panfu was pulled up early in the morning, put on her royal robes, and went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects to the Queen.
The queen, who had been missing for more than a month, finally reappeared in front of everyone. The queen's face was flushed, and she was already four months pregnant. Her belly was slightly bulging. She was dressed in the queen's court dress and a nine-phoenix crown. She was luxurious and majestic, which was somewhat different from her previous image.
That day when the eldest princess entered the palace, she actually heard that the queen almost had a miscarriage, but she happened to run into the rumor. The eldest princess had been worried that the queen had no legitimate son, so she found many folk secret recipes but did not dare to give them to the queen at will.
Not long ago, the eldest princess went to a duke's palace as a guest. During the dinner, she heard some gossip, saying that the granddaughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites' family had been barren for many years and got a secret recipe from a Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, she became pregnant soon.
At one stroke, he won a man. The eldest princess was slightly moved when she heard that. She sent people to secretly find the Taoist priest and obtained the secret recipe. She originally wanted to send him to the palace as soon as possible, but then the news came out that the queen was pregnant. The eldest princess was happy and said that the queen
She almost had a miscarriage, so she hurriedly went to the palace to give the queen a prescription to induce a miscarriage.
The queen was also doubtful at first. The eldest princess had tried the recipe and the method of reproducing the fetus, but she couldn't be completely reassured. The blood condition she saw at that time was not serious, and she hadn't eaten the porridge for long, and it contained...
Crab powder is not a medicine. According to Dr. Li, after a month of cultivation, everything will be fine. However, her early pregnancy reaction was very severe, which made her unable to rest for a moment and even vomited after drinking the medicine. Seeing that the baby could not be saved, she used it as a living horse for medical purposes.
After drinking one dose of the anti-fetal prescription, the queen's pregnancy symptoms improved a lot. After three doses, the pregnancy symptoms were basically gone and the baby was saved. If she only took one month of training, she wouldn't have recovered so quickly.
Today is New Year's Day. All the concubines need to pay three obeisances and nine kowtows to the queen, and then the queen has to accept the worship of the wives. Concubines and above can return to the palace and wait to see their families. Gu Panfu is not qualified yet, but she herself is
She didn't want to see her very much, so Anyang Marquis gave her a New Year's gift at the end of the month, a banknote of 10,000 taels and a letter. The letter was handwritten by the old lady, suggesting that she could meet in private when she entered the palace, but she refused. Gu Pan
Fu knew very well what the old lady was going to say, which was nothing more than her father's official position, her family's title, and her belly. Gu Panfu sneered in her heart, she had just stood firm, and her family was so impatient?
Gu Panfu returned to Weiyu Xiaozhu, and Mother Ma took the lead and knelt in front of her: "Welcome to you, master. I wish you a better new year, master."
Gu Panfu smiled, she liked hearing this: "Okay, each of you can go to Hanrui to receive an extra five taels of silver. This is a reward for your loyalty over the past six months, and you will all have a good year."
There were expressions of surprise on everyone's faces. In the morning, Gu Panfu had already given a reward of ten taels of silver, which was already much compared to other palaces. Everyone was very happy and happily hung up lanterns and pasted Spring Festival couplets.
Gu Panfu personally wrote a few blessing characters and pasted them on the window. Hanlu was very skillful and cut out many beautiful window grilles, which made Gu Panfu's hands itch. After learning for a while, she was able to cut out several beautiful window grilles.
A simple style.
When there was still an hour before the palace banquet, Gu Panfu got ready. She wore a pleated skirt embroidered with iris flowers in medium purple silver thread. The lining of the skirt was made of soft thin cotton. The exposed hem of the skirt swayed when she walked.
The ripples make her look even more swaying. The tube top of the light purple top is made into a special-shaped iris shape, and she wears a purple cloak and a champagne cape. To match this outfit, Gu Panfu also wore new jewelry and hair comb.
She wore a bun with clouds and a purple iris hairpin hanging from the top of her hair. It took Gu Panfu a lot of effort to find this purple gemstone. She put a string of pearls around the bun and a few silver ones at the back.
A butterfly made of silk. She put on makeup herself, and her whole person was noble and gorgeous, as if she was glowing.
At the New Year's Day event, God was kind and the weather was clear and it didn't snow. At the gate of the palace, Gu Panfu met Yan Yunu. Yan Yunu was also dressed up carefully, with a pair of autumn eyes that were so pitiful that it made people pity her just looking at her.
Thinking of the incident where she was punished to kneel by Yuan Chongrong, she had not heard any follow-up. Probably Yan Yunv herself knew that the emperor would not care about it, so she had to swallow her breath.
Gu Panfu walked into the palace, and Hanrui helped her take off her cloak and adjust her skirt. The eyes of the people in the palace slowly turned to her. In fact, her makeup was not the most showy, but few people had it all.
The color can distinguish the primary and secondary, and will not overwhelm the guest.
Gu Panfu's seat is next to Yu Ronghua, and the two of them share a seat. No matter what they do, they will be arranged together. Yu Qianyue wore a royal blue palace dress today to cover up the shortcomings of her skin that is not fair enough. But Gu Panfu sits next to her.
Next to her, Yu Ronghua gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Ronghua is really well dressed."
"Sister, you're so complimented." Gu Panfu smiled at her, lazily picked up the tea cup and took a sip. If you want to achieve your goals, you can't be afraid of offending others. Those who are timid can't accomplish anything.
The old lady of Anyang Houfu was sitting at the back of the banquet, watching from a distance that Gu Panfu was graceful and well-behaved, not inferior to the other concubines. She frowned. This granddaughter looked completely different from how she looked at home before.
It is not something that belongs in the pond. A flash of deep thought flashed in the old lady's eyes. If this granddaughter is not easy to control, then the Marquis will have to train another one.
When the banquet was about to begin, the emperor, the queen mother and the empress also arrived together. However, there were more than just the three of them. There was also a man and a woman behind the emperor, wearing foreign clothes. They looked similar to the people of the Zhou Dynasty, with more three-dimensional facial features.
Their seats were arranged behind the princes of the royal family. This year, it was the emperor's third emperor's brother, Prince Qin, who was celebrating the New Year in Beijing. This prince looked to be in his thirties and had a bookish air. He was responsible for helping compile books and was notoriously idle.
.Xie Xiao, wearing a golden uniform, helped the Queen Mother to sit down, and took the Queen's hand to sit down.
Everyone in the palace stood up and said, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, the Queen is a thousand years old, and the Queen is a thousand years old."
"In Pingshen, during the New Year, I am enjoying myself with my clan members, and there is no need to be formal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Xiao glanced at the people in the hall, and when he passed Gu Panfu, he paused slightly. The concubine was indeed wearing something special today, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Let's have a banquet."
At the beginning of the banquet, the Jiaofang Si presented a newly choreographed dance. The dancers revealed a section of their slender waists and waved their sleeves. During the banquet, people exchanged wine and the royal family members were busy toasting to the superior. It was the turn of the concubines to congratulate and everyone gave their congratulations.
They all went out for free. The precious concubine, Yuan Chongrong, was even rewarded with a dish.
It was Gu Panfu's turn. She was holding a jade cup in her hand, with a smile on her face. Her peach blossom eyes were full of affection. It seemed that so many people could only see Xie Xiao: "I wish your Majesty a safe and prosperous new year, and I wish the great Zhou Dynasty and its people peace and prosperity."
These two sentences are very simple, but they feel more sincere than those gorgeous words. Gu Panfu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, drinking more hastily, and a slight blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
"Okay." Xie Xiao didn't say anything else, but he drank all the wine in the glass, unlike just when he just touched his lips, which was a great honor.
Everyone saw this and had their own concerns in their hearts. When the precious concubine looked at the dishes she was enjoying, she immediately felt that the food was nothing more than that.
Gu Panfu had just sat down when she suddenly noticed a malicious gaze staring at her. She raised her eyes and looked around, but the gaze suddenly disappeared again.
Halfway through the banquet, a round of singing and dancing had ended. The woman from a foreign race suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, looking at the emperor affectionately: "Zhao Jia from Nanyu Kingdom is willing to dance for the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty."
Nanyu Country is located in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a hot climate and rich in jade. At first, Gu Panfu thought that this country was probably the Yunnan region in her previous life, but she later looked at the map and found that the distribution of this world is different, and there are many different places.
Zhao Jia changed her clothes and went on stage. Her bold tube top and straight skirt had a unique feel. Nan Yuguo's dance was very rhythmic, elegant and enthusiastic. Zhao Jia's eyes kept looking at Xie Xiao, and Xie Xiao pretended not to see it, keeping his face
With a very faint smile.
In fact, the Nanyu Kingdom is not a subsidiary state of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the Nanyu Kingdom is small, it is an important regional hub, so domestic jade is easy to sell and the country is very wealthy. The main purpose of their visit this time is to send a marriage princess.
Then buy some war horses, and it would be great if you can also sign a treaty in which Dazhou is willing to send troops to assist Nanyu Kingdom when needed. This requires Nanyu Kingdom to pay a high price, but Nanyu Kingdom has no shortage.
money.
Princess Zhao Jia's desire to enter the palace could be seen by everyone present. Even though Xie Xiao might not like her a little, he had to sell his lust in order to fill the treasury.
