Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 342 Qin Gentiana
Seeing Feng Yong like this, Li Sheng quickly comforted him: "My lord, don't be sad, this house of internal affairs is not something that can be solved in a day or two, let's take our time, don't worry."

"Oh, it's my king's fault to bother Eunuch Li to comfort me. Let's not talk about this sad topic, by the way, where is Eunuch Li going?" Feng Yong asked with a smile.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Hey, where can the little one go? No, send something to the empresses of the palaces. Isn't the Queen's Clothes Ceremony coming soon? Arrange the clothes and supplies for that day."

Feng Yong looked it over, there was no imperial concubine's palace attire inside, so she had an idea.

"Eunuch, I see that there are no imperial concubine's clothes inside. This..." Feng Yong pretended to be embarrassed.

Li Sheng smiled helplessly and said, "My lord, I forgot that Concubine Xia is still in the period of confinement and demotion. It's hard to say whether she will go to the Empress Dowager Ceremony or not. Besides, even if she goes, it is also the auspicious clothes of the concubine, and it can't be these things." These are the common clothes made by the emperor for the ladies in the harem, and they are used for small occasions such as audience banquets, not for that day."

"Oh, it's also because my eyesight is poor, I can't tell the difference between auspicious clothes and palace clothes. I heard what my father-in-law said just now, and I thought these were auspicious clothes. I made a fool of myself and made my father-in-law laugh." Feng Yong said with emotion.

Li Sheng shook his head: "It's not a big deal, it's ordinary clothes, they are given out every day, in fact, this time, I have to count the colors and styles worn by empresses of various palaces for the ceremony, I hope I don't bump into the empresses It is."

"Huh? Is there a color difference in the auspicious clothes?" Feng Yong was a little curious. She only found the difference in the palace clothes in the system. This auspicious clothes have always been issued according to the status, and these the difference?
Li Sheng smiled: "That's no wonder for the prince. The empress is naturally wearing a yellow auspicious costume at the conferring ceremony. Tonight, she may wear a yellow or red palace costume to attend the banquet. But it turns out that the concubine Xia is a noble concubine Sometimes, it is allowed to wear dark red, dark red, and crimson. But usually, the empress and the imperial concubine both wear red, which is fine, but the post-sealing ceremony is always unjustifiable, so I still have to wear red. Unified. Moreover, the unification is not for the auspicious clothes, but for the palace clothes for the evening banquet. After all, the empress is the protagonist of this post ceremony, so how did the rest of the ladies steal the limelight?"

"It's still Eunuch who is thoughtful, but this king still tells Eunuch that Eunuch should prepare the imperial concubine's attire." Feng Yong smiled meaningfully.

Li Sheng was a little puzzled: "This...could it be..."

"Eunuch Li, Mr. Xia Ge has already made concessions on Mr. Qin's matter. Presumably, this Concubine Xia has become Concubine Xia, and it's just a few days ago. Besides, there is a queen empress in the harem now. Sitting in the town, there will be more concubines in the future. Newcomers will enter the palace, and those old people will always be promoted, won’t they? This king is not asking you to prepare the costumes of other empresses, but to prepare the costumes of Concubine Xia first. The king wants to come, the news of Concubine Xia's restoration should be spread to the Ministry of Internal Affairs soon. The Ministry of Internal Affairs can't offend Concubine Xia at this time." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng clapped his hands: "Oh, why didn't this little one think of it! It's still the prince's thoughtful thinking. The little one will prepare it immediately when I go back. By the way, how did the prince know that the concubine Xia will be restored before the concubine ceremony?" ?”

"Eunuch Li, although the empress has not been canonized now, she has already entered the main palace and is in charge of the Phoenix seal. At this time, the emperor doesn't care whether the concubine Xia is a concubine or a noble concubine. Restoring the status of concubine Xia is for Xia Concubine. It is also a warning to them. Besides, the empress has just come to power now, and her mother's family has also been granted the title of Duke Protector. Originally, she has little power in the ruling and opposition parties, but this addition is not necessarily the case. In order to prevent the former court The harem is connected, the emperor will definitely restore the status of Concubine Xia before conferring the queen, so that the power of the two sides will be balanced, so that nothing will happen later." Feng Yong said in a low voice.

Li Sheng suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder the prince said that the little one should prepare clothes."

"But Eunuch Li, although you need to prepare your clothes, you don't have to be too gorgeous. First of all, even if the concubine Xia becomes the concubine Xia, you can't go past the queen, don't you think so? Besides, the emperor has promised that the inner palace Be frugal in the future. Some of the ordinary palace flowers and golden hairpins will be replaced with silver ornaments. The empress is already preparing to set an example. Is the emperor and the empress right? Furthermore, the emperor's promise to be frugal in the harem was originally aimed at the Xia family, because in the harem, only the concubine Xia can use such extravagant things. This is also a means of restraint, so that the Xia family can understand No matter how high and powerful Mr. Xia Ge is, he is still a courtier, just like the concubine Xia, no matter how high her status is, no matter how good her mother's family is, and her honor and favor are not fading, she is still a concubine, and she is still under the empress. If you go against the holy will, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a hard time..." Feng Yong said in a low voice.

Li Sheng nodded: "My lord is right, I understand. Thanks to my lord, otherwise the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Bureau of Clothing would have made mistakes."

At this time, a woman dressed in purple embroidered and blue palace dress appeared, with a peach blossom-shaped Jinbuyao and a purple palace flower on her head, followed by a group of court ladies in ordinary green palace costumes come over.

When Li Sheng saw the person coming, he hurriedly saluted, "Ninth Aunt."

After hearing Li Sheng's words, Feng Yong knew that this person was Qin Geng, the newly appointed Secretary Yi of the Shangyi Bureau.

"It turned out to be Qin Siyi, who has been famous for a long time." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Seeing the two of them, Qin Geng smiled: "So it's King Huiwen and Eunuch Li, and the next official is going to look for you."

"Oh? I don't know what Qin Siyi wants to do with this king and Eunuch Li?" Feng Yong said with a smile.

Qin Gentiana shook his head: "It's not a big deal at all. The emperor made a decree today that the concubine of Jinxia will be a noble concubine, and she will be given the title and peace. But because the conferring ceremony will be held soon, and there will be many festivals in the future, there is no need to hold the canonization ceremony. I have ordered you to give the assistant the right to the harem, and you have also lifted the confinement, and you have to participate in the upcoming ceremony. No, we, the Clothes Bureau, want to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remember to coordinate the colors and styles. Let us know in time so we can catch up."

Hearing this, Li Sheng glanced at Feng Yong thoughtfully, and replied with a smile: "Thank you Jiu Gu Gu, just now I was talking to the prince about the Empress Dowager Ceremony, Jiu Gu Gu is here."

"Since you and your concubine are canonized, although there is no canonization gift, the congratulatory gifts are still indispensable. When I go back later, I will prepare some gifts with the princess and send them to the palace for you and your concubine." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Qin Geng looked at Feng Yong and Li Sheng, and said with a smile: "This congratulatory gift is second. It is a big deal to register the auspicious clothes and palace clothes as soon as possible. By the way, the Shangyi Bureau has made a few sets of auspicious clothes based on the princess's auspicious clothes. Now It should have been sent to the mansion. If the princess still feels that it is not enough, you can come to us again and we will continue to make it for the princess. Lord Shang Gong has seen the clothes that the empress empress gave to the princess just now, and thinks it is very suitable for the princess to make palace clothes for banquets and audiences. , I have already had someone draw a pattern and sent it to the mansion, if the princess is interested, we will choose it and we will do it according to the princess's ideas."

"Trouble Qin Siyi, it's hard work to rush out of work so quickly. The princess doesn't care much about these, and probably doesn't have any special requirements, so I have to trouble Qin Siyi and the adults of the Shangyi Bureau." Feng Yong said politely.

Qin Geng smiled: "My lord, you don't have to be so polite, this is what the Shangyi Bureau should do. By the way, the lord's auspicious clothes are also sent there. Before the lord was stationed in Wenzhou, he didn't have the opportunity to participate in these, so I haven’t delivered them all the time, and now that the prince is back in court, these clothes should have been delivered by the Clothing Bureau, but our Clothing Bureau is not doing well.”

"Look at what Qin Siyi said, the king is stationed in Wenzhou, and these clothes can't be worn. In addition, when he was canonized, there were still many clothes given by the previous emperor. It is normal not to send them. The Shangyi Bureau is also very busy. , I know that, like the princess, I don't care much about these things, so I'm not in a hurry." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Qin Geng nodded: "Of course the prince is considerate of his subordinates, but this is the negligence of our Shangyi Bureau, so we still need to apologize. Besides, the prince and the princess are also our masters, and we can't just ignore it because there are too many things. The prince and the princess. The prince and the princess are so considerate of us, so we naturally have to do better to repay the prince and the princess."

"Qin Siyi is so polite, it's better that this king doesn't know what to say. This king is just a courtier like you. The emperor, queen and empresses of the palace are our masters. Everyone is a courtier. Why do you have to be like this? Be polite? Besides, this king should arrange these things one by one, but now I let you do it, so I should apologize." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Ninth Aunt and the prince, don't be too polite. From now on, we will be our own people. Why should you be so polite? Besides, the prince is responsible for these things now. In the future, he will have to meet with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Shangyi Bureau. Yes, it was so polite the first time, and it will be even more polite in the future."

"Eunuch Li is right, they are all courtiers, so being so polite, I think it's an honor." Feng Yong said with a smile.

At this time, another woman in gorgeous clothes came, wearing a thin blouse with a heart-collar embroidered plum blossom at a smoked purple bottom, and a layer of light gold tufted gauze on the outside. The wide hem was rusted with rose and purple patterns, and the soft black hair was a little fluffy. It was simply held up, and the rest hung by the neck. A small rose purple gemstone hung in front of the forehead, which was just the right decoration.There is a rose crystal on the head and a begonia with trimmed wings and a jade luan swaying. As the lotus steps move lightly, it makes a tinkling sound.

The only thing that doesn't match is this woman. Although she is dressed in brocade clothes and her head is full of jewels, there are some tears on her face and her eyes are reddish. It looks like she has just cried. The direction she looks at is Wei Huaqing's side. It's a concubine, Feng Yong checked in the system, it turned out to be Concubine Yan Yan Ningzi.It's no wonder, Mu Keya was released not long after she was locked up, and she was not favored when she was sent here to get married. Now I don't know if I will blame Xi Liang for Mu Keya or my unfavored matter, how can I be happy? ?

The maid next to Yan Ningzi saw Qin Gentiana, stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Qin Siyi, our lady just came out from the emperor's place, and I thought that someone from the Shangyi Bureau said that I would come to the palace today to tailor clothes for my lady." , I don’t know when it will arrive, if there is no rush, our empress wants to take a bath first.”

Qin Gentiana and Li Sheng hurriedly saluted: "See Concubine Yan."

When Yan Ningzi said something about peace, Qin Geng replied with a smile: "It's okay, if the empress wants to take a bath, we will arrange for someone to go later, so we can't delay the empress's pleasure."

Feng Yong waited until Qin Xian finished replying and then also saluted: "Your Majesty, Feng Yong, is here to see Concubine Yan."

Yan Ningzi was a little stunned and angry when she saw Feng Yong, but she calmed down and said coldly, "My lord, don't be too polite."

"Concubine Yan, some time ago, High Priest Mu was imprisoned by the emperor because of a misunderstanding, and I think he has already released it. This incident was caused by my minister, and I have never had the opportunity to apologize. When I meet my empress today, I will apologize to her. The high priest Mu was discussing the prescription with a mentor who was studying medicine outside the country, but he was caught by mistake, which was also the responsibility of the minister. The minister always felt apologetic. But after the emperor learned about it, he immediately released the high priest Mu. I will blame you, so please rest assured, Your Majesty is promoted, and the subject and the princess have not yet had time to congratulate you on your canonization." Feng Yong respectfully.

Yan Ningzi saw Feng Yong acting like this and replied calmly: "My lord, don't worry, she won't take it to heart."

"That's good, the minister can rest assured. Seeing Concubine Yan come out from the emperor, I know that Concubine Yan must have asked the emperor for something. However, the emperor has been busy with political affairs recently, so I don't think he has time to see Concubine Yan. Concubine Yan Don't worry, it's not because you did something wrong. The emperor said earlier that he was too busy these days, so he neglected the ladies, so he felt a little guilty." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Yan Ningzi was a little surprised when she heard this, but when she heard these words, she could hear Feng Yong trying to smooth things over for herself, and said quickly: "It's my fault. I know the emperor is busy, but I still go and think about it. This is my palace. I feel that I can't forgive the emperor, so I feel guilty, but I didn't expect to make the prince worry."

"Concubine Yan, don't blame yourself. These things should be dealt with soon. The empress is beautiful and beautiful. The emperor is reluctant to let the empress wait for too long. He asked the empress to come back first. Maybe it is because she is ready to come to accompany the empress as soon as she is done. Maybe the people below didn't make it clear, and the empress misunderstood." Feng Yong said with a smile.

Yan Ningzi nodded: "Thank you, my lord, for your explanation. It's because I'm thinking too much. The emperor is naturally busy. I'm an idler, so I have nothing to do and think so much."
