Qiu Yi nodded, "I was just about to talk to you about this. Your brother brought your wife to the capital, and was taken to your Majesty's Heart Cultivation Hall by the general."

"The general has been begging for a long time to take his wife back."

"The young master also wants to see the empress. His Majesty has ordered that the empress and madam go back to the mansion to stay for a while."

"This time we have to be more upright when we go out. It will also be a good thing for the General's Mansion."

"The imperial concubine is going home to visit her relatives. The Ministry of Etiquette has made urgent arrangements."

Xiaoyu Ting looked at Qiu Yi in the mirror, "What about the process?"

"Yes." Qiu Yi nodded, "You are a noble concubine now. The situation is different from last time. There must be etiquette procedures that should be followed in the court. We are leaving the palace in a glorious manner to visit the bride."

Xiaoyu Ting understood, "I understand, then just watch it."

"Okay, let's wear bright yellow today! I haven't seen my queen wearing bright yellow yet."

Xiaoyu Ting tilted her head, "Is there any difference in color?"

"Yes." Qiu Yi stood up to look for it and responded, "Ming yellow is the royal color of the Tian family. According to the rules, except for His Majesty, the Queen, and the Queen Mother, no one else can wear it without His Majesty's permission. Otherwise, it will offend the majesty of the Tian family, which is not good. I want to kill the Nine Clans."

"Red and purple are colors that can be worn by the lord of the harem. Only the queen who is the master of the harem can wear them. We don't have a queen mother in the harem, so only the queen and empress can wear them."

"Others who are favored or have authority, apart from His Majesty and the Queen and those who are rewarded by you, can only wear lighter clothes on important occasions. Even if you are rewarded with serious clothes, they are treasures and cannot be made without permission. of."

Qiu Yi carefully put the clothes and jewelry on the bed, and Xiao Yuting stood up.

Qiu Yi looked at her and asked, "The queen will change the pajamas herself, or will the servant change them for the queen?"

Xiaoyu Ting looked at the pile of things she had never learned before, "Come on, I've never seen this before, it looks quite complicated."

They were all women anyway, and they wouldn't be naked, so she didn't care about this.

"Okay." Qiu Yi tidied the curtains and other things in the hall, and told Cheng Zhong at the door that the queen wanted to change clothes.

Chengzhong stayed away, keeping the people around him away as well, and the secret guard not far away hid further away on his own.

Finally Qiu Yi began to replace Xiao Yu Ting.

Xiaoyu Ting stretched out her arms, and her large letters swayed with the autumn mood.

Qiu Yi quickly took off her clothes one by one and put them on for her.

No matter how fast Qiu Yi moved, it took nearly twenty minutes just to get dressed.

Xiaoyu Ting watched as she slipped from being barely naked to being dressed in bright yellow.

It's quite magical.

"This mess of gadgets, when combined, looks pretty decent."

Qiu Yi smiled and said, "I have been learning for a while, but I haven't served in bright yellow palace uniforms yet."

"Only Dongchan has experience in this harem. I even went to ask for advice in private. These clothes must be made by a specific person and given under protection. Master Lin personally gave them to me."

"Your clothes were made together with His Majesty's dragon robe. At that time, Eunuch Li personally took the slaves to make sure that they were both formal and pleasing to the Queen."

"The servant looked at the finished product and told Eunuch Li some details of the rectification ideas. They were all in compliance with the rules. The most important thing was the shape of the dragon. After hearing this, Eunuch Li came to see His Majesty. His Majesty personally gave permission for them to make rectifications and adjustments. , and finally changed the five claws to four claws.”

"Otherwise, without His Majesty's verbal permission, wearing the bright yellow formal attire specially ordered by His Majesty, especially the Kowloon formal attire, would be a capital crime and the nine tribes might be wiped out."

"Other palace servants can't move easily, so only those who are close to you can serve. The empress doesn't like others to get close, so I went to learn how to do it."

"Oh~" Xiao Yuting's acceptance level is ridiculously high and her understanding is excellent, "So that's what it's like!"

No wonder people always say that the rules of the dynasty were so strict that if someone couldn't even dress properly, they would be beheaded.

Why not be strict!

"What about the Queen? I think the Queen rarely wears yellow."

Qiu Yi squatted down to adjust her waist and said, "The queen's bright yellow phoenix robe is only worn on important occasions. It can be worn on a daily basis as you like. In fact, you can wear whatever you want."

"And the queen's phoenix robe is made of five dragons and four phoenixes. Madam, this is Jiulong. The specifications are different. According to the rules, even the prince cannot wear Jiulong. It can only be five-clawed and four-dragon. And it cannot be bright yellow, the color should be lighter. , apricot-yellow in color.”

"The queen can also wear bright yellow clothes in daily life, also to show her status. However, the queen is the queen, there is no need to show it, and it is okay to always wear bright yellow clothes, but your majesty is your majesty after all."

"So to avoid anyone being nosy, use more other colors."

"The concubines and concubines in the harem will wear bright yellow clothes to greet them on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, or palace banquets, etc., and change into formal phoenix robes for large-scale occasions, such as going out to pray, various large-scale ceremonies, palace banquets for other countries to come to court, etc. .”

"Appears to be serious and dignified."

Xiaoyu Ting understood, "That means I'm quite special."

Qiu Yi stood up with a smile and helped Xiao Yu Ting to the dressing table, "That's right." She started to comb Xiao Yu Ting's hair.

"This is the first set. His Majesty ordered that twenty sets of bright yellow palace clothes and court clothes be made for the empress, ten sets each."

"It needs to be very meticulous. I just rushed out a set recently and I'm still working on the rest."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to change my outfit like this. I'm afraid you might not like what you're wearing because it looks familiar."

Thinking of something Qiu Yi reminded me, "When you go out wearing these clothes, except for Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite when you see the Queen or the first-rank ministers."

"For the same reason as your gold medal, it also represents His Majesty, but it doesn't have as much effect as the gold medal. It's a status symbol."

"Even if you bow a little, others will have to move away. It's convenient for you to leave the palace now."

"There's no need to cover your face. You can wear it if you want to, or if you don't want to. Your Majesty is not here, and your outfit plus the gold medal..." Qiu Yi lowered her voice a little, meaning, "Actually, it's no different from the second His Majesty. .”

After saying that, he returned to normal, "So it's quite convenient in this aspect. The savings are the same as last time. Just come and go politely."

Xiaoyu Ting noticed something, "I still need to see someone? Shouldn't I go directly to the house?"

Qiu Yi nodded, "When you return to the palace, it will be like His Majesty going to the General's Palace in person. Officials in Kyoto will be greeted in formal attire at a distance. The whole journey has been controlled and escorted by the Imperial Guard."

"This is the procedure of the Ministry of Etiquette."

"Okay..." Xiaoyu Ting thought about the scene for a moment, "Then it will be dark when this set comes to the house?"

Qiu Yi nodded again, "Well, there are always times. There are strict rules on where you should go and what you should do at what time."

"This is a symbol of your status. I know that I don't like the process, so you just treat it as a show. I will prepare some food and drink for you. I have never seen such a scene."

"Just watch the excitement. There are also etiquette and other things in the middle, so you won't be bored."

Xiao Yuting nodded, "I know." Thinking about it, she was really curious, "I took a look this afternoon." After all, I had never seen it before.

She only went through two ceremonies, one as a concubine and the other as a noble concubine.
