Chapter 493 Children
When the Imperial Noble Consort was enthroned, spring had arrived; the snow had melted and everything was reviving.
After all, Shen Qing is a person who has experienced several canonizations. To be honest, there is really no one in the palace who has experienced more canonizations than her, and whose canonizations are so complete.
When she first entered the palace, she had the lowest rank, and she has held every rank ever since. Think about it, it has only been a year since her imperial concubine's enthronement ceremony, and if this is considered a promotion, her promotion was pretty fast.
Shen Qing wanted to laugh to herself, but the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort was not funny at all. When she was first conferred the title of Imperial Consort, she already felt that the etiquette was cumbersome and tiring. The higher she moved up to the position of Consort and Imperial Consort, the more tired she felt. Now, the ceremony of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort was even more tiring.
She had to get up before dawn to prepare. The clothing of the Imperial Concubine was naturally more gorgeous than that of the Concubine. Yes, that means it was heavier, not to mention the headdress. It was not an exaggeration to say that her head was full of pearls and jade. They were all stacked up, and it looked exquisite and luxurious, but really, only those who wore it knew. Fortunately, this thing only lasted for one day. From an artistic perspective, Shen Qing thought that this ceremony was really solemn and beautiful. In fact, she felt so every time she was canonized, provided that she was the one watching, not others watching her.
Of course, this may sound a bit Versailles, but this is indeed what I mean.
After combing her hair and changing her clothes, she boarded the imperial concubine's procession to kowtow to her ancestors. She had to kneel down in this outfit according to the guidance of the female official who led the ceremony, listen to the proclamation of the imperial concubine's imperial seal again, and accept the seal. This was not the end yet, she still had to go and pay a visit to Xuanyuan Ling. However, there was no queen in the harem at this moment and the empress dowager was lying down again, so she didn't have to go to pay a visit, otherwise she would have to go to pay a visit to everyone one by one.
After she finished her greetings, she had to accept greetings from all the concubines in the palace. This time, their greetings were different from usual, as they all had to kneel and perform a grand ceremony.
After all the concubines in the palace left, Shen Qing could finally take a day off. She thought of Cheng Yun: "The crown prince's canonization will only be more grand than this. Let Xiao Liu take good care of himself a few days in advance and don't work too hard. After the canonization, he can rest for two days."
Chunhua laughed when she heard this: "It's a good thing that others can't even hope for, but the Queen's words sound like she is disgusted with it."
"I don't mind, how can I mind, I'm just tired." Shen Qing was too lazy to move: "Take a bath first, and when the emperor comes later, tell him that I'm going to bed first."
Chunhua naturally agreed.
After Shen Qing finished taking a bath, he helped her to sleep, watched Shen Qing close her eyes, and lowered the bed curtains.
She suddenly realized that she had followed Chen Qing for so many years. When Chen Qing first entered the palace, she was still a childish girl. Now her personality has changed but not changed much. When she looks at her, she still feels like the little girl she was back then. Back then, a group of servants gathered together during the New Year and thought about guarding Zhaohua Palace well.
Thinking about it, she smiled, and when she went out, she met Wang Lu, who also had a smile on his face. The two of them served Shen Qing the most: "I guess the queen will be hungry when she wakes up. The queen doesn't like to eat milk cakes these two days. I saw that the queen was a vegetarian the day before yesterday, so she ate more for two days. I asked the small kitchen to prepare it for the queen today. The queen will definitely be happy."
Chunhua said, "If you only eat vegetarian food, you may get tired of it. Let's add some tea. The emperor sent some tea a few days ago. Your Majesty also likes it."
Over the years, Zhaohua Palace has been very good, the Queen has been very good, and there is even a young master. Just thinking about it makes my mouth curl up.
After Chen Qing's enthronement, it was Cheng Yun's turn to be the crown prince. However, the enthronement of the crown prince was slightly different, as sacrifices had to be made to heaven and earth and the ancestral temple before the enthronement. Xuanyuan Ling did this personally, and it was not that other people could not do it, but he went there himself, and this was also the first step in declaring himself the crown prince.
Soon the day of enthronement arrived, and preparations began before dawn. All civil and military officials had to enter the palace. Cheng Yun had to wear the prince's robe and arrive at Chenming Palace under the escort of three masters, and then solemnly pay homage to Xuanyuan Ling in front of everyone.
Afterwards, in front of all the civil and military officials, he once again announced the enthronement of the crown prince, and then awarded him the seal.
Cheng Yun took the prince's seal, which was already heavy in his hand, but he did not get nervous. Even though so many people were watching him, he remained calm.
He is a prince, born into a noble family.
He has promised his father that he can take on this burden.
Civil and military officials, as well as royal family members, all witnessed this scene.
Then, a group of ministers and relatives knelt down to Cheng Yun, and Prince Huai was among them: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
The sound lingers in the air for a long time.
Ever since Xuanyuan Ling issued the imperial edict, they have been waiting for the enthronement process to be completed for the past few months. Now it is finally over and the matter has been settled. Cheng Yun still has to study after becoming the crown prince, but the things he learns are different than before. Xuanyuan Ling has also appointed more than one crown prince tutor for him, so he still has a lot to learn in the future.
Cheng Yun himself can quickly adapt to such a difference, but for the other princes, he was originally the sixth brother or sixth elder brother, but now he is the Crown Prince, which is very different from them.
In fact, the Fourth Prince had no hope in the first place, and he just smiled after knowing this. The Seventh Prince is the same age as Cheng Yun, but he was actually the first one to feel that he was not as good as Cheng Yun. After all, the closer the ages are, the easier it is to compare. But he is actually okay. Compared with the position of Crown Prince, he is now more concerned about mortise and tenon joints.
However, the Third Prince has been silent for a long time since Cheng Yun was appointed Crown Prince.
Defei herself is open-minded, but since ancient times, no parents can guarantee that their children will follow their thoughts.
They are all human beings, and they all have their own thoughts. Concubine De is still a little worried. As the saying goes, how can a child of the royal family not be sensitive to power? The position of the crown prince has not been decided, just like their original goal, the third prince, after all, is not bad.
There is some gap now. Unless he really does something, Concubine De cannot point out his thoughts. She also talked about this with Shen Qing in private.
Chen Qing said to Concubine De, "The Emperor has never been too harsh on Prince Huai. He really likes the Third Prince. Can he still let him go astray? Or do you think that Cheng Yun can't tolerate his brothers now that he has become the Crown Prince? The Emperor cherishes every child."
These were true words, and Defei felt comforted after hearing them. Yes, the emperor was very good to children, and she believed in the character of the third prince. He was the child she had brought up, and she knew his temper. Everything would be fine.
It was good for Shen Qing to see that she had come to her senses.
Considering the changing situation at the moment, Xuanyuan Ling had not originally thought of appointing a crown prince so soon. Now, he just had to look forward to the children and see what paths they would take.
