Article 631
The palace banquet for the Queen Mother's birthday is in the unitary time, and Shen Shi has to come out of the palace in the morning. I had just had lunch, and I was pulled into the room by Qingdai and Luyi in the early morning to prepare.
Today I want to wear palace clothes, Qingchen chose a goose yellow palace dress with a plain color, and I got it layer by layer, but the elegance was also a little more well-behaved. The black jade-like green silk is simply rolled into a concentric bun by the green daisy, and a few full and round pearls are dotted at will, making the cloud-like show more soft and moist. Chen'er doesn't have to wear makeup at a young age, which makes Qingchen feel relaxed, and the heavy palace clothes in the mirror look even more petite and cute.
"Okay, it's already beautiful, no need to take any more photos. Let's go, my brother will send you over. ”
Suddenly hearing Dai Xunxiang's light laughter, Qingchen looked up and saw his eldest brother standing in the outhouse looking over here. There was a smile in his eyes, and he was wearing a dark military general's court uniform on his body, which made him look even more vigorous.
"My brother dared to make fun of my little sister, I think my brother seems to have dressed up today, why is he so energetic." Qingchen walked over, stretched out his hand and pulled the bead chain on Dai Xunxiang's court clothes, and said with a smile.
"Okay, you have to go to Funing Palace to greet the Queen Mother first, it's not good to be late, let's go."
"Yes, good. Qingdai go get the good things, let's go. Qingchen instructed Qingdai to go out with Dai Xunxiang.
It was getting late, and there were not as many pedestrians on the road as they had gone out that day, and the carriage was running as fast as they had been. Because it was the birthday of the Queen Mother, I saw that many places on the street were hung with red lanterns in the early morning, and the more I went to the palace, the more lanterns were hung, and I was beaming. This Qianqiu Festival is really not an ordinary grandeur, even the people have to prepare.
The palace of the Haitian Dynasty is located in the middle of Luoyang City, and the carriage enters the royal street after a period of time, which leads directly to the palace, and is not allowed to enter and exit the ordinary people, only for the nobles and ministers who enter and exit the palace. Qingchen looked out of the car window, the red palace lights hung all the way, and before he arrived at the palace, Qingchen felt the wealth and majesty.
The car stopped after a while, and it was already at the main gate of the palace, Chongtianmen. The carriage is not allowed to enter the palace, so he got off with Dai Xunxiang in the morning, entered through the side gate Taihe Gate, and walked slowly inside.
The palace of the Haitian Dynasty is divided into two parts: the "outer court" and the "inner court". The outer court is composed of the central axis of Chongtian Gate, Duanmen, Wumen, Taixuan Palace, Zhongxuan Palace, Baohe Hall and the palace pavilion corridor on both sides of the central axis. From the perspective of the function of the building, the Outer Dynasty is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and holds court meetings, and all major national events and various ceremonies are held in the Outer Dynasty.
The inner court is the place where the emperor's concubines live, including the Qianyi Palace, Jiaolan Palace, Funing Palace, Imperial Garden and the East and West Six Palaces on both sides of the palace group. The inner court is located at the back of the palace, including Qianyi Palace, Jiaolan Palace, Funing Palace, is the place where the emperor and queen live, and there are six palaces for living on both sides of this group of palaces, Ningshou Palace, Funing Palace, etc.; and four imperial gardens scattered throughout the inner court. There are also the duty rooms of the forbidden army and some service buildings in the palace, as well as the low houses where eunuchs and palace maids live.
Qingchen followed Dai Xunxiang through the palaces, looking at the palace maids and eunuchs who bowed their heads and came and went, and their hearts were in a trance, and they always felt that they were in a dream.
This Haitian Empire can also be regarded as a prosperous dynasty, the four seas are one, and the palace is also built spectacularly and majestic. The red walls and yellow tiles, the carved beams of the paintings, are splendid. The palace is staggered. It is both magnificent and fortified.
This city is not only full of palaces, pavilions, and surrounded by a wall more than 1o meters high and a moat 52 meters wide, but also a forest of sentry posts and a strong guard. In addition to the guards guarding each hall along the way, I didn't know how many groups of patrolling guards I saw in the morning, and this is still during the day, and at night I am afraid that it will be even more impregnable.
"Chen'er, my brother will send you here, it's inconvenient for me to go in the inner court, don't talk nonsense, it's not better here than at home, you should be careful yourself, my brother is waiting for you in the front hall during the palace banquet." Dai Xunxiang took Qingchen to the entrance of the inner hall and stopped, turned to look at Qingchen, who was in a trance, and couldn't help but admonish again.
Since entering the palace, Qingchen and Dai Xunxiang have not spoken again, and suddenly heard Dai Xunxiang speak and startled Qingchen, and then came back to his senses.
"Well, brother, go, I'll be careful, besides, the Queen Mother is so hurtful, nothing will happen." Qingchen smiled at Dai Xunxiang, and then led Qingdai into the palace gate.
Just a few steps into the inner court, Qing Chen saw a grandmother in a dark purple palace dress walking towards this side, and saw Qing Chen smiling and walking quickly to meet him.
"The county lord can be regarded as coming, and the queen mother has been talking about it since yesterday. I asked three times this afternoon, and I didn't think that the county lord should come, so I called the old slave to greet him. As he spoke, he came to the light morning.
"There's Aunt Lao Cheng." Qingchen looked at the clothes and conversation of this grandmother, and thought that it was Qingdai who said that she had followed the queen mother since she entered the palace.
"The county lord was sick some time ago, but the queen mother was frightened, and now it seems to be very good, this face is also much redder, and the spirit is good, and the queen mother may be so happy to see it." Mama Cheng said to Qingchen with a smile as she walked.
"This illness seems to have expelled all the poison accumulated in the body before, and now my body is much better." Qingchen also replied with a smile.
After a while, I arrived at the Funing Palace of the Queen Mother, looked up in the early morning, and the palace pavilions were all yellow glazed tiles and heavy eaves resting on the top of the mountain, which looked rich and solemn.
Qingchen didn't dare to take a closer look, and followed Mama Cheng into the house.
"Ancestor, the county lord of Qingchen is here."
Qingchen only listened to Mama Cheng's reply before looking up. I saw a **** sitting on a soft sleeper, and there were six little maids standing next to him, all of them with low eyebrows.
Not daring to look at it again, Qingchen hurriedly took a few steps forward to salute. "Chen'er greets the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an, Chen'er congratulates the Queen Mother on her auspicious birthday, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life and the sky."
"Qingcui, look at this child is getting more and more well-behaved. :ap.. Come, come over and show your grandmother, it's all your own family, let's not talk about these false courtesies, Qingcui quickly help the dust up. Seeing that Qingchen had finished the salute, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked Mama Cheng to help Qingchen get up, and beckoned Qingchen to step forward.
Qingchen lowered his head and stepped forward, but was held by the Queen Mother.
"Chen'er's complexion is not bad, but he was sick the day before yesterday, but he was all fine?" The Queen Mother touched Qingchen's hand and asked kindly. Qingchen looked up to see the queen mother, with her hair and temples, her eyes were gentle and springy, her skin was fine and smooth, and she was very well maintained, and she couldn't tell that she was sixty years old at all. Dressed in a golden-red embroidered phoenix dance nine-day court dress, with a nine-hole exquisite jade belt around his waist, he is extremely rich and gorgeous! is looking at Qingchen with a smile, but he doesn't look like a powerful character. Maybe she really hurts Chen'er, Qingchen thought to herself.
"Let the Queen Mother worry, the dust is all right." Qingchen replied carefully, trying to use the words of a seven-year-old girl as much as possible.
"Well, I heard that a few days ago, Chen'er went to Mingyin Temple to pray for the mourning family, what a good boy. In previous years, it was your mother... Hey, there is only one daughter in the mourning family, and I didn't really think about why my life was so bad, so I had to leave everything early. It's just a matter of mourning the family, you are still such a young child, how can Jing Ke bear it..."The Queen Mother said that she was about to cry, and her eyes were red. When Mama Cheng saw such a scene, she hurriedly comforted her.
"Queen Mother, please don't be sad anymore, my mother is gone, and there is dust. In the future, Chen'er will honor you on behalf of her mother, I believe that my mother in the spirit of heaven does not want the Queen Mother to be sad, today is still such a good day, you should be happy. Qingchen also hurriedly persuaded him, it is really the heart of parents in the world.
"Hey, your child is really becoming more and more like your mother, Jing Ke is also such a lovely person, always thinking about others, he is really the kindest child in the world." The Queen Mother looked at Qingchen lovingly, looking at her granddaughter who looked like Jing Ke in front of her, her eyes flashed with sadness and remembrance.
"Mother-in-law, will Chen'er call the Queen Mother's mother-in-law in the future? Chen'er heard that ordinary families call grandma like this, Chen'er thinks it's so kind, is it okay for Chen'er to call the queen mother-in-law in the future? Qingchen took the Queen Mother's hand and shook it.
"Good, good. Chen'er has really grown up, is it okay for Chen'er to come to the palace to live with her mother-in-law? The Queen Mother took Qingchen's hand and said happily, with joy in her eyes.
"If the mother-in-law likes Chen'er, Chen'er will definitely enter the palace more often in the future to accompany the mother-in-law. Chen'er no longer has a mother, and Chen'er often regrets that she didn't take good care of her mother in the first place, which broke her heart. Now Chen'er only wants to be able to accompany his father more, not to mention that Chen'er is not in harmony with the ancestral system when he enters the palace. Qing Chen was startled, would he still be alive if he entered the palace. A cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly excused himself.
"Hey, anyway, this palace is not necessarily a good place, but Dai Shiju... If Chen'er needs anything in the house, let the girls come into the palace and tell the mother-in-law that this is the token of Funing Palace. As she spoke, the Queen Mother took out a black token in her arms and put it in Qingchen's hand.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, mother-in-law don't worry too much about Chen'er, Chen'er is the mother's child, and she is the precious granddaughter of the mother-in-law, and no one dares to underestimate it. Granny Tai, let's not talk about this, you haven't seen Chen'er's birthday gift to Granny Tai yet. "Qingchen checked the token, it should be iron, with the word Funing engraved on it, heavy. Qingchen didn't shirk it, and put away the token with a smile.
"Oh, did Chen'er still prepare a birthday gift for her mother-in-law? Quick, I'll see. ”
Qingchen motioned to Qingdai, and Qingdai immediately handed the brocade box in her hand to Qingchen.
Qingchen opened the brocade box and took out the painting scroll lying quietly inside. That was Qingchen who had been preparing since he heard Dai Shiju say that he was going to enter the palace last month. It is a sketch portrait drawn by Qingchen for the eldest princess Jing Ke. The charcoal was made with a hand warmer, and although it was not as complete as modern sketching utensils, it was barely usable. Although Qingchen said that he had never seen Jing Ke, according to the portrait of Jing Ke Hanyin Mountain House, he painted it over and over again, and then let a few girls comment on it.
In this way, it was painted a total of eight times, and the painting was changed and repaired, which became the portrait that is now presented to the Queen Mother. Qing Chen has seen from the teary eyes of several girls that this painting has been painted very successfully, although Qing Chen has not seen Jing Ke, he is sure that the painting is not very similar, and it has eight points. Qingchen has always been proud of his skills in modern sketching, and he has been learning it for eight years.
Sure enough, when Qing Chen unfolded the painting in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother excitedly grabbed Qing Chen's hand tightly, looked at the painting with an incredulous expression, and tears overflowed her eyes.
"Dust, this ...... This ......" The Queen Mother pointed to the painting and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Mother-in-law, this is what Chen'er slowly figured out when she missed her mother. Is it good for the mother-in-law to see Chen'er's paintings? Qing Chen saw that the Queen Mother was excited and about to cry, so she hurriedly said.
"Okay, it's so well drawn. It's really like Ke'er standing in front of the mourning family. The Queen Mother took the painting and looked at it carefully, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked still a little excited.
"Let this painting accompany my mother-in-law, as if my mother is still around, and I will take it out and see it when I miss my mother."
"Good, good!" The Queen Mother happily took Qingchen's hand, but her eyes were still reluctant to leave the painting.
"Queen Mother, the front hall is ready, and there are not many mistakes, isn't it time to set up the Taixuan Palace?" Mama Cheng came in from outside and bowed and said.
"Good! Let's go, Chen'er and the mother-in-law will sit over together. This is the first time Chen'er has participated in a palace banquet, right? Hey, your mother has never attended a palace banquet since she came back from Dongyue, and now I have to let all the ministers see my beautiful little princess. The Queen Mother stood up with a smile, took Qingchen with her, and pulled her out.
Qingchen followed out of Funing Palace, and saw a luxurious yellow-roofed car waiting. As soon as the queen mother arrived, a eunuch immediately squatted down and supported the ground with both hands, and Qingchen saw the queen mother stepping on the back of the eunuch and helping Mama Cheng's hand.
Qingchen's scalp was numb, I heard that the royal family was stepping on people's backs and getting into the car, and I didn't pay much attention to it, and I didn't want to really step on people.
"Chen'er, come quickly, come to my mother-in-law's side." The Queen Mother sat down and stood in a daze, greeting.
Qingchen took two steps forward, quickly stepped on the eunuch's back and jumped into the carriage.
Qingchen sat next to the Queen Mother, held the Queen Mother's hand back, and looked around.
I saw that there are four very wide windows on the car wall, and on the car wall in the middle of each two windows, there are several murals with very strong tones and vivid patterns. These murals are all painted with lacquer, and the old and new brushstrokes are in harmony with each other, and they look very harmonious.
Under the soles of the feet, there is a carpet about two inches thick, spread all over the whole of this bowl, its material is velvet, the color is light blue, so it is already very beautiful, not to mention that there are clusters of golden pattern paintings piled up on it, are some peony flowers and phoenixes among the birds, it can indeed be praised for a "golden splendor".
Walking slowly among the tall and magnificent palaces, the wood was pressed on the thick bluestone slabs, the heavy sound echoed in the empty palace pavilions, and Qingchen's heart was also empty, I don't know what night it is, some have not landed.
When the Queen Mother and Qingchen arrived at the Taixuan Palace, it was already the hour, and the light morning got down, but saw that the front of the palace and the hall corridor were full of palace lights, and the colorful flags were fluttering around. :ap.. The hall is even brighter, as bright as day, and the officials are already sitting in the hall, and the hall is staggered, smiling and laughing.
Qingchen walked towards the Taixuan Palace, and walked towards the political center where all the nobles and ministers of the Emperor of the Sea were gathered. With the clear voice of the eunuch: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
Qingchen followed the Queen Mother step by step into the tall pavilion. Stepping into the temple gate, all the ministers and officials in the hall got up and knelt down to salute. As soon as Qingchen entered the hall, he saw the bright yellow on the palace platform, and it turned out that the Haiqing Emperor's return to the sea seal had arrived.
As soon as Emperor Haiqing saw the Queen Mother enter the hall, he walked down the steps with a smile and greeted him, walking briskly. Qingchen saw that Cheng Mama and others had already knelt down to greet the emperor, and they also hurriedly lowered their heads and knelt down, feeling very depressed.
"The queen mother is here, I congratulate the queen mother on her longevity than Nanshan, and the blessings are all over the sky."
"The concubine greets the queen mother, and wishes the queen mother Kangtai good luck and happiness."
