Zhuo Qihua

When Emperor Yong'an arrived, Zhuo Ji was eating.Now that His Majesty came down, Zhuo Ji naturally couldn't continue to eat.The dishes on the table were removed and replaced with the emperor's imperial meal, Zhuo Ji tasted the imperial meal without any psychological burden.Nodding again and again, the emperor's food is delicious!Beautiful, delicate and delicious!

Concubines and servants who can eat with Emperor Yong'an are not only favored, but also have a certain status.No matter how favored Yanxuan and Concubine Hui were before, they never had a meal with His Majesty the Emperor.Zhuo Ji felt that eating with Emperor Yong'an was quite a pleasant thing.The meal of the emperor of the Mata country is not like a certain palace drama he has seen before, and the concubine who accompanied the meal can only stand.He can sit and eat with Emperor Yong'an, and when he encounters delicious food, he can ask the palace servants to give him more.But there are two things that are similar. The first thing is that the emperor's food must be tested for poison.The second thing is that Emperor Yong'an will eat every dish on his plate, but it will not exceed five chopsticks, and he will not say which dish is delicious.Zhuo Ji has known Emperor Yong'an for so long, but he doesn't know what kind of food, tea, fruit, and snacks he likes.

All palaces, including the leftover meals of the emperor, will be taken away by the Lijiantang if they can’t finish. Send it to the restaurant and sell it to the guests.It is common for the eunuch in charge to extract oil and water from it, but the bulk of what he earns is still sent back to the palace.Usually, this money is handed over to the queen.After Cheng's death, Emperor Yong'an knew how much money she had embezzled in the palace for the next ten years, one of which came from this part.

Emperors are not stupid. If someone is willing to spend money to buy something, he will acquiesce in earning the money.When Zhuo Ji knew about this, he sighed again and again, but he didn't expect that this industrial chain existed not in the dark, but in the open.

After dinner, Emperor Yong'an drank tea and asked Zhuo Ji: "On Chongyang Day, we will worship our ancestors. Do you want to show your face? I won't force you."

Zhuo Ji asked, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to climb a mountain that day?"

Emperor Yong'an: "From the first day to the ninth day, although I don't need to fast every day, I must abstain from sex. On the ninth day, I got up at Yinshi, took a bath and worshiped at the altar of Wenqing Palace, and then went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. Afterwards, I went to Wa Nu Mountain to climb the mountain to worship the heavens. On that day, I could not eat until I returned to Tianshou Palace, and I could only drink a small amount of water during the period."

Zhuo Ji sighed: "It's really hard to be an emperor."

"Haha..." Emperor Yong'an laughed.

Zhuo Ji: "I won't go, I'm too tired. If I don't eat for a day, I won't be able to bear it. I'm most afraid of starvation."

Emperor Yong'an said: "Concubines can only offer sacrifices to ancestors, and only concubines who are concubines or above can go to worship ancestors."

Zhuo Ji laughed: "That minister doesn't need to show up, he's not qualified enough."

Emperor Yong'an: "Zhang Xian."

"The servant is here."

Zhang Xian quickly walked in with a bow.

"Order Hai Shizhang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to draw up the decree. Zhuo's family is Jiya, talented, modest and virtuous, and Jin is named Shunyi. Ye Bingkun, the Minister of Rites, is the envoy, and Zhengzhi Shangqing Wei Chimiao is the deputy envoy. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the festival is ordered. The Jinse Palace is more like the "Xiangfu Palace", and the Peng Road soars like a blessing from heaven."

Zhang Xian was taken aback for a moment, then gave Zhuo Ji a congratulatory smile, and said, "Yes!"

When Zhang Xian left, Emperor Yong'an turned around and said, "You are in Shunyi now, you can go to worship your ancestors."

"..."

After a few breaths, Zhuo Ji, who didn't expect to be "promoted" suddenly, said, "Your Majesty, can you explain what the word 'shun' means? Is this minister not obedient enough to His Majesty?" Could it be that he didn't agree to serve the bed Well, don't be so stingy.

"Shun means smoothness and harmony. Since I met you, everything has been smooth. You are my blessing, my luck. I can't name you a 'blessing', so I chose 'Shun'. But this blessing is still needed, so I changed Jinse Palace to Xiangfu Palace."

Ha ha!

"Your Majesty, you might as well call Chen Fuwa directly, and this palace is called Fuwa Palace."

"Hahaha……"

■

In just two months, Zhuo Ji has been promoted from elegant person to 伃, and His Majesty also ordered the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Hai, to personally draft the decree, and Minister of Rites and Zhengzhi Shangqing to be the principal and deputy envoys!Concubine servant canonization, the person who drafts the decree, and the status of the chief and deputy envoys who hold the festival and the book all represent the emperor's importance to the canonized person.Even when His Majesty's most beloved Jiagui Xie was conferred, he only ordered the cabinet bachelors to draw up the decree, and Sima of the Ministry of Rites and Doctor Jiayi were the principal and deputy envoys!There is not only two words between the cabinet bachelor and the cabinet chief assistant!That's the gap between the boss and his subordinates!Minister of the Ministry of Rites, that is a second-rank official with real power, and Sima of the Ministry of Rites is only a third-rank official.Both Zhengzhi Shangqing and Doctor Jiayi are honorary titles without real power, but one is the honor of the second rank and the other is the honor of the third rank.

Honors are for meritorious officials. When conferring concubines, the emperor usually chooses an official with real power as the envoy, and an official with honors but no real power as the deputy envoy.His majesty the emperor canonized Zhuo Ji's draft decree, chief and deputy envoys, and all three were a rank higher than Jia Guixie.Moreover, Zhuo Ji was the first emperor to change the name of the palace he lived in when he was canonized as 伃.Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor is still in a hurry. Today is already the fourth day of the lunar new year, and the fifth day will be soon. His Majesty the Emperor will hold a canonization ceremony on the eighth day. People live!

A boulder stirred up a thousand waves.Even though Jia Guixie had prepared her mind well, she still couldn't hold back the dignity on her face when she heard the news.

In Yuxian Palace, Concubine Xi whispered to the night sky: "'Shun'... Your Majesty actually gave him a 'Shun'...Does Your Majesty want him to be more obedient? The concubines and concubines in the harem, who are not following His Majesty? ? But Your Majesty just likes someone who doesn't follow him." Concubine Xi burst into tears.

Ruyi comforted her distressedly: "Master, sooner or later, Your Majesty will know about your mother's well-being."

Concubine Xi said with tears: "Sooner or later? I have been by His Majesty's side for fourteen years. For fourteen years, Your Majesty has treated me indifferently. If it weren't for the empress dowager's kindness, I would have been like Li Shi and the others. She was tortured to death by Cheng's family. If I had a son and a half under my knees, I would have something to rely on, and it wouldn't be as miserable as it is now."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will still come to our Yuxian Palace on weekdays. You will definitely give birth to your little Highness."

Concubine Xi Gui said sadly: "I am already old and can no longer give birth..."

A Zhu stood behind the master to remove the make-up, and said unfairly: "Master, Your Majesty really loves Zhuo Ya people all over the body."

Dezhen: "Now you are compliant, not elegant, you have to remember."

Azhu: "Yes, master, it is Shunyou. Master, why does Your Majesty love Shunyou so much? The slaves don't think he is so good, he just knows some medical skills."

Dezhen said lightly: "This palace is not the one that is favored in this harem. Your majesty can dote on whoever you want. Speaking of which, since he helped to recuperate Zhu'er's body, how many times does your majesty come to Yunyue Palace?" There are too many, and I am not as indifferent to Ben Gong as before. I still want to accept his love."

Ah Zhu was dissatisfied: "Cu Chu, you just have a good heart."

Dezhen looked at his blurred face in the bronze mirror, and said, "It's not that I have a good heart, but I can see it clearly. If I can really conceive a dragon heir again, it doesn't matter if I treat him as my own brother. He was favored, but he didn't stop His Majesty from enjoying the rain and dew, which is much better than some people who are favored. Now it is not this palace, but those two from Huayang Palace and Yuxian Palace that are going to be sad."

Dezhen has been in a very good state of mind recently.After returning from Zhuo Ji's place, he took care of the emperor's body and his own body strictly according to what Zhuo Ji said.It's still unclear how well he's recuperating, but Huang'er's body is obviously in good shape.From this point alone, he could see that Zhuo Ji was not the kind of person who likes to calculate and is bent on fighting for favor.In the past, it was normal for His Majesty not to set foot in Yunyue Palace for two or three months.Now, His Majesty is with him at least three or four days a month.Regardless of whether His Majesty treats him differently because of Zhuo Ji, he has remembered this favor.

Zhuo Ji has become Shun Yi, and Dongluo Zhuo's family has mixed joys and sorrows.Of course they are happy that Zhuo Ji has finally become the powerful lord of the harem, but they are worried that they have not been able to see Zhuo Ji.Chongyang ancestor worship is coming soon, Zhuo Yizhi is inconvenient to disturb His Majesty at this time.

An imperial decree from Emperor Yong'an made the Ministry of Rites dizzy, and it also made Jinse Palace, which was renamed Xiangfu Palace, dizzy, especially Huayuexi.On the eighth day of Zhuo Ji's day, he will go to the Tai Chi Hall to receive his conferment. At that time, he will change into a palace uniform.Li Jintang was rushing to make Shun Chen's new clothes overnight, and the steward of Li Jin Hall even found Hua Yuexi and asked her to help. I don't know.The new clothes should include not only the palace attire to be worn at the time of canonization, but also at least two ordinary clothes to be worn on that day.The head manager of Lijintang was afraid that an accident would make Shunyan unhappy, so he lost his mind.

Hua Yuexi went to Lijintang, Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu were also very busy.The master canonized as 伃, although the number of palace points and palace people will not increase—after all, it was the palace score and number of palace people of 伃 before—but the ostentation in Xiangfu Palace will change, and the decorations in the courtyard will change.Fortunately, Caizhang is still the original wave of people, but this time Zhuo Ji can legitimately own Caizhang, which also means that he himself has to bear the daily expenses of the Caizhang Palace.Jia Guixie also ordered the palace secretary to send a lot of things to Xiangfu Palace, the silk and cloth skins alone were enough for Zhuo Ji to use for several years.

Regarding the change of identity, Zhuo Ji is probably the most normal one.He is not only normal, he is also very resentful. "Shun" 弃, "Shun" 弃, he couldn't be happy when he thought that Emperor Yong'an simply regarded him as a lucky baby.

Emperor Yong'an sent Dezhen to teach Zhuo Ji the rules on the day of canonization.Dezhen taught very seriously, and Zhuo Ji learned quickly.Before dawn on the eighth day, Zhuo Ji was dug up from the bed by Xiaohui and Chang Jing, and Dezhen had already arrived!Bathing, burning, dressing up, Zhuo Ji almost closed his eyes and let Xiaohui and Dezhen's big palace lady Azhu torment him.Zhuo Ji only had one request, no complicated hairstyles, no heavy makeup. Emperor Yong'an had already warned (warned) him in advance that the day of canonization was not allowed to be "plain (sloppy) light (untidy) as usual. ".

At [-] o'clock, Zhuo Ji, who was wearing a new dress and dressed up for the first time, came out of the main palace of Xiangfu Palace, protected by Xiaohui and Chang Jing.As soon as he showed his face, the waiting Xiangfu Palace people knelt down in unison and shouted: "Slave please pay respects to me..."

On this day, people called Zhuo Ji no longer Zhuo Ya, but Shun 俍俍.Zhuo Ji said lightly, "Get up", and there were countless black lines on his forehead that others couldn't see.忍俍, ma'am, he only needs to wear a pair of flowerpot-bottomed shoes and four nail guards, ha ha!

Dezhen came over with a smile: "Congratulations, Congratulations. You usually don't like to dress up, it's too plain. Look at how good-looking you are now. When your Majesty sees it later, I'm afraid he won't recognize you. In the future, you Don't be so lazy."

Looks good... Zhuo Ji wiped his face in his heart: "Thank you for your praise. I have worked hard these two days."

"Should be. The hour is up, you should go. Someone will remind you at that time, don't be too nervous."

"The waiter made a note of it. Then, the waiter will take the first step."

"Go."

Zhuo Ji left Xiangfu Palace and got on the prepared chariot.Lifting the chariot, Dezhen came out and watched Zhuo Ji being carried away step by step by the palace people, thinking in his heart: [I don't know what kind of changes will happen to this Danyang Palace in the future because of this person. 】

Zhuo Ji's canonization site was in the Taiji Hall of Wenqing Palace in the former palace, which was the location of the Jinluan Palace, where Emperor Yong'an went to court and listened to politics.Usually the canonization of concubines and concubines will be in Fengtian Hall, and the canonization of concubines and concubines will be in Taiji Hall, but not everyone can go to Taiji Hall.Concubine Shu was also in Fengtian Hall when she was canonized.When Jia Guixie and Xi Guifei were canonized as Guixie and Concubine, they were in the Taiji Hall.Emperor Yong'an attached great importance to Zhuo Ji's canonization today, and directly ordered the canonization of Tai Chi Hall.So today's canonization ceremony is also extremely grand.The important officials of the court, the Empress Dowager, Jia Guixie and Xi Guifei were all present.Emperor Yong'an actually came too.It can be said that the scene where Emperor Yong'an bestowed the title of Zhuo Ji, a "little" "伃", is comparable to Feng Guixie.

This is the first time that Zhuo Ji, the emperor's mysterious servant who came out of the West Third Courtyard, officially appeared in front of people.After leaving the gate of Danyang Palace, Zhuo Ji got on the chariot inside the palace, and walked through two palace gates to Wenqing Palace.Going around from the side road of Wenqing Palace to Chonghui Gate, the main gate of Wenqing Palace, Zhuo Ji got off the chariot as requested by the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to pick him up.Zhuo Ji wanted to walk all the way outside the Tai Chi Hall from here.

At this time, in the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Yong'an was sitting on the dragon chair, with the Empress Dowager next to him, and Concubine Xi Gui and Concubine Jia Guixie on both sides of the lower head.In Mata country, the left is respected, and the concubines in the palace shoulder the main force of childbearing, so they are on the left.Emperor Yong'an was wearing his bright yellow dragon robe, which was only worn on very formal occasions. The Empress Dowager, Jia Guixie and Concubine Xi Gui also wore very formal palace clothes.

It was already dawn, and the ceremonial officer shouted: "The time has come—"

Emperor Yong'an, the Empress Dowager, Jia Guixie and Concubine Xi Gui all stood up.Emperor Yong'an stepped down from the dragon seat first, and walked to the gate of Taiji Hall, followed by the Empress Dowager, Jiagui Xie and Xi Guifei.From a distance, Emperor Yong'an saw a man wearing a servant's palace uniform standing at the end of the red carpet in the distance below the Hall of Taiji.Emperor Yong'an showed a smile, he stepped over the threshold and walked out.
