Chapter 192 Noble Lady Fucha
Chapter 192 Noble Lady Fucha
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Although a month is a bit tight, Big Fat Orange had already made plans.
Moreover, the families of these two empresses were powerful, so the Imperial Household Department dared not neglect them.
With everyone's wisdom and effort, the grand ceremony for the enthronement of the empress was prepared perfectly.
After the imperial edict appointing her as empress was issued, Empress Fucha Peiyun moved from Yanxi Palace to the newly renovated Kunning Palace.
The palace has been meticulously restored and now shines with a new brilliance, perfectly complementing Fucha Peiyun's status and position.
Empress Nian Shilan of the Western Palace declined the big fat orange's offer.
She decided to remain in her Yikun Palace, which was already exquisite, and besides, she had never intended to become empress.
I really don't want the hassle of moving things around anymore.
Although Da Pang Ju was somewhat helpless about Nian Shilan's decision, he did not force her to change it.
Instead, they chose to respect her wishes and allow her to continue living in Yikun Palace.
However, he still had Su Peisheng select many fine items from his private treasury and send them to Lingkun Palace.
On the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was packed with people and bustling with activity.
The women of the harem gathered here to witness this grand event.
The whole scene was solemn and dignified, filled with a somber atmosphere.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everything is resplendent in gold and exquisitely beautiful.
The auspicious dragon and phoenix motif can be seen everywhere in the palace, symbolizing the harmonious and happy relationship between the emperor and empress.
A huge golden plaque with nine dragons hangs high in the center of the hall, bearing the four large characters "建极绥猷" (Jianji Suiyou) in powerful and vigorous strokes.
It is magnificent and displays the majesty and grandeur of the royal family.
The hall was filled with the smoke of incense, and the sounds of bells and chimes rose and fell, never ceasing.
This added a touch of mystery to the solemn occasion.
Civil and military officials, dressed in court robes and wearing court hats, lined up neatly on both sides of the main hall.
They stood solemnly and dignifiedly, demonstrating their respect and emphasis on this grand ceremony.
Feng Ruozhao, Zhen Huan, and the other concubines in the harem stood behind the civil and military officials.
They were dressed in gorgeous wedding gowns, with exquisite makeup and dazzling jewels, their beauty complementing each other.
They were either graceful, dignified, charming, or elegant.
Each exhibits its unique charm, becoming a beautiful sight within the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Empress Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan wore bright yellow imperial court dress.
Wearing a crown with nine dragons and four phoenixes, the crown is inlaid with countless dazzling pearls and gemstones.
It gleamed in the sunlight.
Fucha Peiyun had a dignified appearance, and her brows exuded composure and grandeur.
Nian Shilan was delicate and charming. The two walked side by side slowly toward the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Behind them stood two palace maids dressed in colorful robes.
She carefully held the golden book and golden seal that symbolized the empress's status.
The chubby orange-haired man sat upright on the dragon throne, his gaze fixed intently on Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan.
These two empresses were carefully chosen by him, and they satisfied him far more than Ulanara Yixiu.
Ah-Jun is of noble birth and blessed with good fortune; Shi-Lan and he have enjoyed a deep and loving relationship for many years.
She is the best candidate for queen.
Zhen Huan, barely managing to stand still in the crowd, supported her weakened body.
Looking at Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan, who were surrounded by a crowd and enjoying their newfound glory, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
In a daze, she felt that this glorious moment belonged to her.
But in the blink of an eye, they saw Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan wearing wind-blown robes.
One was dignified and elegant, the other bright and flamboyant; they were the focus of the harem.
It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...
Zhen Huan kept repeating this sentence to herself.
Zhen Huan unconsciously shook her head, but this slight movement made her feel dizzy.
I felt so dizzy and lightheaded that I could barely stand.
Standing behind her, Jinxi kept a close eye on Zhen Huan's condition.
Seeing her like this, he quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern:
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She forced a smile at Jinxi and said:
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
However, only Zhen Huan herself knew that the bitterness in her heart was like a surging tide.
It surged and churned, almost drowning her.
At this moment, the chubby orange cat entered the palace with the two queens.
Upon seeing this, everyone knelt down and bowed, shouting in unison:
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Emperor, greetings to Your Majesty the Empress."
The ceremony officially began, with the master of ceremonies standing in the center of the hall, loudly reciting the text.
His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the empty hall.
It was as if the entire palace was cheering for this grand event.
As the Minister of Rites sang, Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan slowly knelt down, their movements elegant and dignified.
Empress Fucha Peiyun received the phoenix seal and golden book, symbols of her empress status, from the master of ceremonies.
The two said in unison, "Your Majesty, we thank you for your great kindness. We will do our utmost to assist you and serve as your mother to the world."
The chubby orange cat nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on its face.
He looked at Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan, his eyes revealing his appreciation and trust in them.
"A-Jun, Shi-Lan, please rise. From this day forward, you will be the mistresses of this harem."
You must diligently manage the affairs of the six palaces and not disappoint my expectations.”
Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan exchanged a smile, then slowly stood up.
Sunlight streamed through the glazed tiles of the palace roof, casting a golden veil over the light.
The drape gently over their bodies accentuated their noble elegance and graceful bearing.
After the ceremony for the empress's coronation, Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan informed the palace ladies that Yun Bi would pay his respects three days later.
The location was chosen to be the Kunning Palace of Fucha Peiyun.
This was something that Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan had discussed together.
On the first and fifteenth of each month, the imperial concubines would pay their respects to them, with the first month taking place in Fucha Peiyun's Kunning Palace.
Fifteen was in Nian Shilan's Lingkun Palace.
The three-day period passed quickly.
The concubines in the harem began their preparations early in the morning, meticulously dressing themselves.
I hope to make a good impression on the new queen.
People say a new broom sweeps clean, even though we're all acquaintances!
But differences in status will always bring subtle changes.
Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the concubines dressed in their finest attire and set off for Kunning Palace.
Along the way, they either whispered to each other or huddled together.
I wonder what the two queens will say on the first day.
When the group finally arrived at Kunning Palace, the sight before them amazed them.
The newly renovated Kunning Palace is like a brand-new palace, radiating dazzling brilliance.
The originally somewhat dilapidated palace walls were repainted a vibrant vermilion, making them strikingly beautiful.
It seems to be telling the story of the palace's history and glory.
The steps in front of the palace gate have become more spacious and grand, giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.
Upon entering the hall, the concubines' eyes lit up.
The interior of the hall has been completely renovated, and the simple yet elegant decorations make people feel exceptionally comfortable.
Several landscape paintings hung on the wall, adding a touch of tranquility and elegance to the entire space.
What's most surprising is that the flowerpots at the base of the wall don't contain the usual fresh flowers, but rather lush green bamboo.
These emerald bamboos swayed gently in the breeze.
It made a rustling sound, as if adding a touch of freshness to the palace.
