Tomorrow is the Queen's coronation ceremony, and it would be bad if this dress doesn't fit.
Fu Jin also had the same idea and nodded, "Well, then take it down and try it."
After finishing these, she went to pay her respects to the emperor. Seeing that it was still early, she went to Yongshou Palace. Concubine De, now the empress dowager, had already moved to Yongshou Palace.
Now that she has entered the palace, she has to pay her respects no matter what.
When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, Nanny Yu, who was beside Concubine De, saw her and took her in.
Defei was writing something at the desk, and stopped when she saw the Fourth Prince's wife coming over.
"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress be blessed with good health." The concubine knelt down and bowed deeply.
When Concubine De saw her finish her greeting, she said, "Get up."
She walked out from the desk and sat down on the warm couch. "You should sit down and talk too."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Nanny Yu placed the teacup in front of the two of them and stood by.
"Tomorrow is the ceremony to enthronize the Queen. Some things should have been arranged, right?" Defei picked up the teacup and spoke slowly.
"My dear mother, everything is ready."
"That's good. After the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, you will be the legitimate queen. I hope you can take good care of the harem for the emperor."
"Also, you need to decide the positions of the people in the Fourth Courtyard and where they will live after entering the palace. These must be decided as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Fu Jin stayed with the Empress Dowager for a long time, and only returned to her Jinghe Palace when it was getting dark.
After dinner, she began to plan the positions of the people in the backyard and the palaces they would live in after entering the palace.
By the time everyone's positions were finalized, it was already very late.
In addition, the enthronement ceremony was tomorrow, and the Fourth Lady fell asleep while being served by Nanny Chang and Nanny Li.
The next day, the ceremony of conferring the empress was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Because the Fourth Master had advocated frugality from the very beginning, the ceremony was not very grand, but it was still a big occasion.
The concubine also knew the Fourth Master's character, so she didn't have too many demands on this. After the whole day, the Fourth concubine, oh no, the Queen was really a little overwhelmed.
There were so many rituals that the queen had to force herself to complete them all day long.
When they returned to Jinghe Palace, the queen could not bear it anymore and felt dizzy. Nanny Chang and Nanny Li quickly helped the queen back to the inner room, and then took off the phoenix crown weighing more than ten pounds on her head.
After taking off the complicated and heavy robe, the queen felt better.
"Your Majesty, please lie down on the bed and rest for a while. I will ask someone to bring in some hot water. Your Majesty, please take a bath later. This will help you get rid of some of the fatigue you feel."
The queen closed her eyes and supported her head with her hands. She nodded without saying a word.
Palace of Heavenly Purity
Wen Mianmian felt distressed when she saw the Fourth Master coming back with fatigue in his eyes.
Today is the Queen's enthronement ceremony, and we have been busy all day.
Judging from the Fourth Master's appearance, he must be exhausted.
She hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, you are back."
"You look so tired. Go over and sit down and rest for a while." She helped the Fourth Master sit down.
I was just about to tell Shancha to prepare hot water, but when I turned around I remembered that Shancha and the others had not come in yet.
"Your Majesty, please sit here for a while. I'll ask someone to prepare some water for your bath. You won't feel so tired after taking a bath later."
After saying that, she walked out, gave Su Peisheng a few instructions at the door, and then came back.
Seeing her coming, the Fourth Master waved to her and Wen Mianmian walked over.
As soon as he stood still, the Fourth Master pulled him with his big hand and made him sit directly on his lap.
Wen Mianmian had long been accustomed to nestling in his arms and said, "If Your Majesty is tired, please rest early after taking a bath."
These days, the Fourth Master basically only sleeps for two or three hours and has to get up before dawn to attend the morning court.
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, Wen Mianmian still felt a little distressed.
"Yeah." The Fourth Master hugged her and rested his head on her shoulder.
"You are going to Guanju Palace tomorrow, and I really don't want to let you go."
He will be able to see Mianmian as soon as he comes back these two days. If Mianmian is not here tomorrow, he will have to finish his work before he can go to see her. In this way, the Fourth Master doesn't want Mianmian to leave.
Although Guanju Palace is very close to Qianqing Palace, he wanted to see Mianmian as soon as he came back, just like he had done in the past few days, instead of waiting until he finished the things at hand before going to see her.
Wen Mianmian laughed when she heard the Fourth Master's childish words, "Your Majesty, I am in Guanju Palace, just a few steps away. If Your Majesty is busy, you can ask Su Peisheng to come and call me. I promise to come right away."
"Are you serious?" The Fourth Master lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms.
"Of course it's true. I dare not disobey the emperor's orders." Wen Mianmian's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles when she said this.
When the Fourth Master saw her like this, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips.
"I plan to open a small gate on the road to Guanju Palace. This way, it will be more convenient for Mianmian to come to me."
The Qianqing Palace and the Guanju Palace are separated by a palace wall. If a small door is opened in the middle, there is no need to take a detour and people can go directly through the small door to get there.
When Wen Mianmian heard the Fourth Master's suggestion, she quickly said, "No, if the Emperor really opened a small door there, then the next day, people in the harem or in the court would say that I am a beauty who brings disaster."
"Besides, it's just a matter of turning a corner. Why does it need such a big fuss? Your Majesty, please don't do this. I still want to live a peaceful life."
If the Fourth Master really did this, she would never have peace of mind again.
"Then if I want to see you in the future, I will let Su Peisheng come to find you."
If possible, he really wanted Mianmian to live with him in the Palace of Heavenly Purity so that he could see her as soon as he came back.
"Okay, if the emperor misses me, just let Su Peisheng come find me. I will definitely come."
The next day, just as the Fourth Master finished his morning court session and returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to sit down, Su Peisheng said that the Queen was coming.
"Let the Queen in."
After a while, Ulanara came in.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
"Queen, please get up. You come here so early. Is there something wrong?" The Fourth Master picked up the memorial on the desk and spoke while reading it.
He had to finish reviewing these memorials quickly so that he could go find Mianmian later.
"Your Majesty, I have already drawn up the positions for each of my sisters. Your Majesty, please take a look at them."
When the Fourth Master heard this, he raised his head, looked at the Ulanara clan below, and said, "Bring it here and let me see."
Nanny Chang took out the list, Su Peisheng went down to take it, and then handed it to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master took it and opened it. The first thing he saw was Mianmian's position. It said she was a concubine, and the palace she lived in was the Xianfu Palace, which was far away from the Qianqing Palace. The Fourth Master frowned.
