Zhuo Qihua

When the time came, Zhuo Jiwei raised his head and looked at the majestic Tai Chi Hall entrance, where a man in a bright yellow robe stood.You don't need to look closely to know that the clothes must be dragon robes, and only one person can wear such clothes.He walked steadily forward step by step.The Hall of Taiji is similar to the Hall of Supreme Harmony that has been destroyed and can only exist in his memory, but the scale is smaller than the Hall of Supreme Harmony.After all, the Forbidden City itself is a representative of the dynasty's prosperity.And Mata country is not strong enough.

In front of the stairs, Zhuo Ji stepped on the first step, and then walked towards the man in the dragon robe step by step.As Zhuo Ji approached, the smile on Emperor Yong'an's face became more and more obvious.His eyes were full of surprise and appreciation.After carefully dressing up, Zhuo Ji did not disappoint Emperor Yong'an.The Queen Mother also showed a smiling face. She always heard the emperor say that Zhuo Ji was lazy, he didn't like to dress up, and his clothes were plain, but when she saw Zhuo Ji for the first time today, she only thought that he was a beautiful child, beautiful and full of wisdom.The child's eyes are different from those of all the eyes she has ever seen. At this time, there is no excitement and joy in the eyes of being canonized as a magistrate, and there seems to be a bit of blame in the eyes of looking at the emperor, as if blaming the emperor. like tossing him.I have to say, the queen mother is the truth.

Concubine Xi barely managed to maintain a decent smile on her face, and Xie Jiagui also tried to make herself smile more naturally.In their opinion, Zhuo Ji is beautiful enough to deserve the title of "favored servant".It's just his appearance and demeanor, so it's no wonder His Majesty dotes on him.Emperor Yong'an turned around and walked back to the Tai Chi Hall, and the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xi Gui, and Concubine Jia Gui also followed.

Not long after Emperor Yong'an sat down, Zhuo Ji stepped onto the last step and walked to the gate of Tai Chi Hall.Reminded by the ceremonial officer, Zhuo Ji walked in, knelt down in front of Emperor Yong'an, and shouted respectfully: "I pay homage to Your Majesty, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness—"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live—"

Kowtowing, Zhuo Ji stood up supported by the palace servants.Emperor Yong'an raised his hand to signal that the canonization ceremony officially began.

It wasn't the Empress Conferment Ceremony, so Emperor Yong'an could only sit and not stand beside Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji was reminded by the ceremonial officer and compared with the rules that Dezhen had taught him in advance, he first offered incense, kowtowed to heaven and earth, and then listened to the official edict read by the chief minister of the cabinet.The content of the imperial decree is very long, not the one or two sentences that Emperor Yong'an said that day.Of course, what Emperor Yong'an said that day was also written in the imperial decree.After reading the imperial decree, Zhuo Ji knelt down and kowtowed to accept the decree, then stood up and took his own seal and treasure from the hands of the principal and deputy envoys.Afterwards, a female official held the official palace uniform in her hand, Zhuo Ji followed the ceremony officer to the side hall to change into this palace uniform, and then came back to kowtow to thank the ceremony, and the canonization was completed.Afterwards, Zhuo Ji can go back to the palace to take a rest and eat something, and then he has to go to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, because the Queen Mother is now in charge of the harem, and he will formally meet the noble lords of the palaces there.

Zhuo Ji's face was about to stiffen, he had to smile on such an occasion.But he was really tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty.He knew that His Majesty the Emperor had given him a very high standard of treatment, but it was really tormenting.After Zhuo Ji left, Emperor Yong'an respectfully sent the Queen Mother away, and returned to Fengtian Hall in a happy mood.

On the elephant, Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood.He would not tell Zhuo Ji, the resentment in Zhuo Ji's eyes pleased him very much.That guy is usually too lazy to be outraged.If it weren't for his broad-mindedness, he would have been punished for a crime of disrespect in front of the imperial court.Which concubine does not dress up all day like him.

It was almost three quarters since Zhuo Ji returned to Xiangfu Palace.As soon as he entered the room, he yelled so much that he fell onto the soft floor.Xiaohui hastily yelled for him to sit down, but she must not wrinkle her clothes, and she will go to Shoukang Palace to meet the Queen Mother in a while.Zhuo Ji clutched his stomach, weakly: "I can eat a cow now!" He seriously suspected that Emperor Yong'an was torturing him on purpose!

"Master, hurry up and eat something." Chang Jing came in with a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup, and there were two perfect poached eggs in it.Zhuo Ji filled half a pot of water first, and then swallowed the whole bowl of noodles without looking up, leaving no mouthful of soup left.

"Master, Your Majesty is here!" Wang Bao hurried in from outside.

Zhuo Ji didn't move.A touch of bright yellow appeared outside the door, and then someone walked in.Zhuo Ji said weakly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being disrespectful. I am too tired to stand up."

"You are really proud of being favored!"

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand and sat down beside Zhuo Ji, while the others quickly withdrew.Emperor Yong'an asked in a good mood: "Tired?"

"The minister is now dying!"

Emperor Yong'an laughed, he raised his hand to hold Zhuo Ji's head and leaned over to kiss him.Zhuo Ji dressed up aroused Emperor Yong'an's desire.As a result, his lips did not touch Zhuo Ji's, but only touched Zhuo Ji's fingers.

"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of diarrhea."

The smile on Emperor Yong'an's face disappeared immediately, Zhuo Ji pushed away Emperor Yong'an, and pointed to his powdered face: "This is all pearl powder, and there are other things mixed in it. When you kiss, In the end, you ate it all in your own stomach. I can't guarantee that you won't have diarrhea. Your Majesty, if you want to kiss, you have to wait for the minister to come back from the Queen Mother and take off your makeup before kissing."

Emperor Yong'an frowned, Zhuo Ji said: "Even the cosmetics in the palace will contain some harmful substances, just wipe it on the face and see, it's better not to eat it in the stomach." The body of the ancients was not photographed later. Even modern people who have a periodic table of elements are still sensitive to pollutants.

Emperor Yong'an asked: "Can't you get some makeup powder that doesn't contain poison? You don't usually dress up, but you suddenly look good when you dress up."

Zhuo Ji was very helpless: "Your Majesty, it's not good for me to treat myself as a man."

Emperor Yong'an said regretfully: "Then I can only watch you dress up on your canonization ceremony?"

"Actually, I think I'm naturally beautiful, so I don't need to dress up at all."

"You're really not ashamed."

Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's face, and saw that there was indeed some white powder on his hands.Emperor Yong'an, who didn't care about these before, now has a little disgust.He took a piece of handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said: "The Empress Dowager is tired, and I have to worship the ancestors tomorrow, so I don't need you to go to pay her respects. You will have the opportunity to meet the concubines in the future, and this is not too late. You now You can take off your makeup and change your clothes."

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

Zhuo Ji jumped up and called Xiaohui to come over and remove his makeup.

Zhuo Ji, who had removed her makeup, only felt that her skin had recovered its normal breathing.There is no need to please, Zhuo Ji asked Xiaohui to untie his hair and change it into a braid.Formal hairstyles are such a pain in the ass.When Zhuo Ji appeared in his usual attire, Emperor Yong'an felt a little regretful.But the face is clean, it can be kissed.

Zhuo Ji had just sat down and before he had time to speak, Emperor Yong'an grabbed him and kissed him.Xiaohui, Chang Jing and Zhang Xian hurriedly backed out with their heads down.Emperor Yong'an pressed Zhuo Ji on the couch, his movements seemed a little eager.After finally finding a space to breathe, Zhuo Ji shouted: "Your Majesty, you must abstinence!"

Emperor Yong'an, who had already touched Zhuo Ji's lower body with his hands through his pants, gasped and stopped.Zhuo Ji also panted heavily, and then he let out a cry of pain, and Emperor Yong'an bit his ear very hard.

Getting up from Zhuo Ji's body, Emperor Yong'an said, "Let you go for now."

temporary?Not so good...Zhuo Ji sat up, Emperor Yong'an got up and said: "I'm going back to Fengtian Palace, you can rest. Look at your face, those who don't know think I'm harsh on you."

Zhuo Ji then stood up: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an left, Zhuo Ji's shoulders instantly collapsed, and he yawned and went straight to the bedroom, really exhausted.

The Empress Dowager spared Zhuo Ji from going to pay her respects, and all the palaces wanted to see Zhuo Ji's noble lord but were disappointed.Back at Yuxian Palace, Concubine Xi locked herself in the room.Jiaguixie was quite calm, after all the emperor had reminded him.Zhuo Ji was conferred the title of 伃 in such a grand manner that gifts from all the palaces flocked to Xiangfu Palace again.The two managers, Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu, were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, but Zhuo Ji, the rightful lord, was fast asleep on the bed.The Empress Dowager personally dismissed Zhuo Ji from going to pay her respects, even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to express it, not to mention that Mrs. Jiagui, who was the head of the servants, didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to say anything.Zhuo Ji's current favor can be said to be in full swing, and no one dares to offend him.

An eunuch came hesitantly outside Xiangfu Palace holding a gift box.Probe to see the lively scene inside, he gritted his teeth, and walked in.

"Little Min Le, come to send a congratulatory gift for my master~"

Wang Bao took the gift himself and asked, "I wonder who your master is..." The eunuch looked at him strangely.

Min Le said uncomfortably, "My master is from Yanya."

The polite smile on Wang Bao's face immediately withdrew a bit, but he still said not too coldly: "I accepted Yan Yaren's gift for my master."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

People from other palaces came again, and Wang Bao went to greet them.Min Le stood there for a while, then left resentfully.

Yan Xuan waited restlessly for Min Le to come back in the West Third Hospital.Seeing Min Le walk in dejectedly, Yan Xuan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Master, the servant has returned."

Seeing that Min Le's hands were empty, Yan Xuan asked, "Have the things been delivered yet?"

"delivered."

"You can see the obedience?"

"No. You seem to be resting. It's Jinse, oh no, it's the father-in-law, the head manager of Xiangfu Palace, who entertains you."

Yan Xuan was very disappointed, but at least he accepted the things.He asked, "By the way, have you seen anyone?"

"The servant didn't see it, maybe he did, and the servant didn't know."

Yan Xuan bit his lips, and Min Le said with a little hope: "The servant said that the servant is your eunuch. Although the chief steward of Xiangfu Palace is a little cold, he is still polite to the servant. Master, if you go Yes, maybe we can see Shun Yuzu."

Yan Xuan said in embarrassment: "What am I now? The noble lords of the palaces may not be able to see him. So far, I have only seen him. If he doesn't hold grudges against me, I will laugh. If I go in person, I'm afraid I will be kicked out by him, and then I will have no hope of seeing His Majesty."

Min Le didn't know how to comfort his master.Yan Xuan sat down and said unwillingly: "I really don't know why he is so favored by His Majesty. In terms of appearance, he is not as good as me. In terms of talent, if I go to Enke, I can get a scholar. Even if he knows something So what about medical skills? Could it be that he is even better than the imperial physicians in the imperial medical office?"

Min Le said kindly: "That's right. Master, he must have spoken ill of you in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty is the one who neglected Master."

Yan Xuan bit his lip, with hatred in his eyes.When Zhuo Ji was still Duanmu, he behaved differently from them.On the first day he entered the palace, he noticed Zhuo Ji.Later Zhuo Ji stood up for him, he thanked Zhuo Ji, and even feared Zhuo Ji.Because of this, the queen imprisoned Zhuo Ji in the West Third Courtyard, but he ignored him, let alone interceded with Zhuo Ji in front of His Majesty.But after thousands of calculations, he didn't count that Zhuo Ji still attracted His Majesty's attention, and then ascended to heaven!

No, you can't just give up like this!His life is still so long, he can't just live alone in the West Third Hospital!A man can bend and stretch, as long as he can regain favor, he can do anything!

Zhuo Ji slept until the afternoon and didn't wake up. After waking up, Wang Bao and Chang Jing came over and handed him a gift list.This gift list is more and heavier than the gifts he received when he was named elegant.Once Zhuo Ji became a 伃, he could accept his fate as an internal official.But Zhuo Ji doesn't trust strangers, so this job falls on Chang Jing and Xiaohui, and Zhuo Ji also intends to train them.There are no newcomers in Xiangfu Palace, but the number of palace recruiters has increased to the expected number.Zhuo Ji ordered all his own people in Xiangfu Palace to practice calligraphy, and Chang Jing and Xiaohui were responsible for teaching them.People around him cannot be illiterate.

Although Wang Bao knew a lot of characters, the gift list was still written by Chang Jing.Zhuo Ji looked at it and asked: "Do you need to return the gift?" He didn't return it when he became an elegant person.

Wang Bao replied: "It depends on what you want, master. You may or may not return it. The slaves think that the master should return a gift to the queen mother, noble concubine, imperial concubine, and virtue."

Zhuo Ji thought about it and said: "Didn't your majesty reward some red coral beads, pearls, agates, and gemstones of various colors? Weave them into the knots of "Fu" and give them back to the palaces. The knot of the queen mother should be the largest. There is an extra safety knot for children from Dejuzu, which is braided with yellow and red rope. Dejuzu, Chang Jing, go to the pharmacy to get a 'Huangyanxiao', I will write down the usage, You send them together. Xiaohui will weave blessing knots and peace knots, and ask her to teach Aunt Hua and the others."

Wang Bao: "Master, won't the Empress Dowager send a 'Huang Yan Xiao'?"

Zhuo Ji said: "Dexiu has helped a lot this time, this is my thanks to him. If I send another one to the Queen Mother, it means something wrong. I will give this batch of medicine to Your Majesty, If anyone is missing from His Majesty's side, the Queen Mother will be missing."

"Your servant understands, I will go find Xiaohui now."

Wang Bao left first, and Chang Jing reported: "Master, people from Yan Ya sent someone to bring a gift. They are three cat's-eye stones, which are of extraordinary appearance."

Zhuo Ji was stunned for a moment, remembering who Yan Ya was, he asked, "What's his situation now?"

Chang Jing replied: "After the witchcraft case, Yan Yaren was relegated to the West Third Courtyard by the noble lady. His Majesty never visited him again. The servants did not ask about the specific situation now."

"Oh." Zhuo Ji lowered his head and continued to look at the gift list, "Go to Fengtian Temple and ask His Majesty to send someone over to get the medicine."

Chang Jing: "Is it 'Huang Yan Xiao'?" The master's attitude made Chang Jing understand that he didn't need to ask about Yan Yaren anymore.

"Well. Let's keep ten sticks for ourselves, and give the rest to His Majesty. It's best to ask Director Zhang to come in person, and I'll tell him how to use it. It's not easy to make Huang Yanxiao once, and the medicinal materials are also troublesome. I'm afraid it won't work in the short term. Won't do it again."

"Yes! I will go to the pharmacy to get the one for Dezheng, then I will go to Fengtian Hall."

"Go."

Chang Jing left.Zhuo Ji went to the desk and wrote two copies of how to use "Huang Yan Xiao", one for Dezhen and one for Emperor Yong'an.
