Chapter 147: Consecration Ceremony
Yunshan held up his chin and thought for a while before he timidly tried to analyze:
"The Queen was having the canonization ceremony on that day, and the Emperor was supposed to accompany the Queen in the evening. But that day happened to be the day when the Concubine had a miscarriage a year ago...
If the emperor accompanies the queen and ignores the concubine, the concubine will definitely be jealous of the queen and may even plot to murder her. But if the emperor accompanies the concubine, that is, he neglects the queen, the queen will definitely feel uncomfortable. "
"Yeah, not bad." Song Zhao nodded at her, with a bit of approval in his eyes, "You and Xiao Fuzi have been together for a long time, and now you have become more stable."
Yunshan's cheeks flushed bright red upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty is making fun of me again..."
Xiao Fuzi also stood aside, laughing awkwardly and scratching the back of his head.
Song Zhao smiled lightly, and then stopped teasing them. Instead, he said with a serious expression:
"The queen is really good at scheming. She always thinks of killing two birds with one stone and can still escape unscathed and protect herself. After all, the ceremony of conferring titles on concubines is held on auspicious days, and no one can say anything to her.
But unfortunately, despite all her calculations, she still made a wrong move."
Song Zhao's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
She didn't say anything else.
However, the master and servant knew everything from a glance.
Song Zhao had never fallen in love with Xiao Jingheng, so why would she care whether he was with her on important days?
Since you don't care, of course you won't hold a grudge in your heart.
Song Zhao thought:
Since the Queen has already made all the arrangements, of course she should accept the favor.
At that time, not only would she not keep Xiao Jingheng, she would also have to persuade Xiao Jingheng to visit Chen Fei.
She wanted Xiao Jingheng to think that she was considerate and a virtuous woman who was not jealous.
On the day of the coronation ceremony,
The empress performed the ceremony and accepted Song Zhao's kowtow.
Song Zhao was a concubine, so the concubines who were concubines were not allowed to watch the ceremony.
The only people watching the ceremony in the hall were Concubine Yao, Concubine Hui, Noble Lady Xiao, and Concubine Liu.
After the tedious process of promotion was completed, the queen and everyone sat down to chat.
Yaopin stepped forward to congratulate Song Zhao first, "I have said since the beginning that you are not an ordinary person. How can you be a pearl covered in dust forever?"
She pulled Song Zhao's sleeve, looked left and right, and said with a smile:
"This auspicious dress is gorgeous, it makes my sister look even prettier."
Hearing this, the Queen also smiled and said:
"The auspicious dress that Concubine Yi is wearing is embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns using the phoenix needle technique. When viewed from different angles, the patterns on the auspicious dress vary in many ways and are naturally beautiful. Purple is a noble color. You usually wear plain clothes and rarely wear such gorgeous clothes. This palace thinks it is very good."
Song Zhao thanked the Queen for her compliments and said, "This auspicious dress is really precious. In addition, the Phoenix Needle Technique was only used when conferring the title of Consort. I am not worthy of this position and I am really worried."
The Queen said in a gentle voice: "If the Emperor likes you, then there is no such thing as unworthy of the position. But Concubine Yi is always so calm and self-possessed. No matter how favored she is, she will never forget the rules. I think this is also the reason why the Emperor loves you so much."
"Yes! I wouldn't have noticed it if the Queen hadn't told me~"
Huipin has always been childish.
Before the queen could finish her words, she interrupted.
Then he stood up and ran to Song Zhao, circling around to look at the strange thing.
"Wow! The cloud pattern on it really changes! Sister Song, can I touch it?"
Song Zhao smiled, "Of course."
Huipin touched the fabric of the clothes, and seeing her eyes shining, I knew she loved it very much.
"Hehe~ The material is so soft, so nice. I want daddy to make me one later~"
Song Zhao just said that the Fenghui Needle Technique above is a special honor granted to a concubine.
If someone else said these words, Huipin would probably think that she was coveting the position of concubine.
But precisely because she said it, no one cared.
Yaopin also joked: "Your sister's mother's family is very wealthy, and you are the only daughter in the family and are loved by everyone. Naturally, you can have whatever you want. But I am so envious of your elder sister."
Huipin didn't hear the sarcasm in Yaopin's words, and said casually: "If Sister Yaopin likes it, I'll ask Daddy to give you one too."
"You..." Concubine Yao looked at the Queen with embarrassment, cleared her throat, and said hurriedly: "How can I ask for my sister's things? My sister is kind, and I have to appreciate it."
Huipin saw Yaopin's embarrassment, but she didn't know why she was like that.
She touched her ears, and decided to give up thinking about it because she couldn't figure it out. She turned around and called her personal maid Rui'er.
"Rui'er, bring the lunch box over here."
Rui'er brought the food box to Huipin, and when they opened it, they saw that it was filled with plum cakes.
Huipin gave it to Yunshan, and said to Song Zhao with a smile:
"Sister Song was very happy. I didn't know what to give her, so I made some plum cakes for her. They are sour and sweet and delicious."
As he said that, he took out one and handed it to Concubine Xiao very politely, "Sister Xiao, you can try it too~ The Queen is always retching because of her pregnancy, so she likes to eat something sweet and sour. I made it for the Queen and she said it was very good. I believe you sisters will like it too~"
Concubine Xiao held the plum cake as if it were a hot yam.
She thanked Concubine Yao for her kindness, but said, "I drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine before I came here, and the imperial physician said it's best not to eat for an hour. I'd better wait until I return to the palace to taste your cooking."
After saying this, she was afraid that Concubine Yao would urge her to eat.
So he quickly pulled Liu Chang together to congratulate Song Zhao.
"This concubine has met Her Majesty Yipin. Her Majesty is very happy."
"Hurry up, sisters, are you going to be estranged from me?" Song Zhao quickly helped Concubine Xiao and Concubine Liu to stand up. "We entered the palace together. When I agreed, you sisters never treated me harshly and always treated me well. When we are together in private, let's not talk about status, okay?"
After hearing this, the Queen smiled and praised Song Zhao, saying, "Concubine Yi is kind to others. Even though she is the head of a palace, she is not arrogant at all. If all the sisters in the palace can be like you, be kind to others, and get along with each other in harmony, then I will be even happier."
The concubines said in unison: "We, your servants, will follow the instructions of the Queen and get along with each other in a friendly manner and help each other."
"oops......"
As he was replying, Concubine Xiao suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
Song Zhao saw Concubine Xiao frowning, and hurriedly supported her and asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
"He moved." Concubine Xiao's brows relaxed instantly, and she kept rubbing her lower abdomen, her eyes full of joy.
"Right here! He just kicked me!"
