On March 18, the best day in the first half of the calendar year, the Northern Qi Dynasty held a grand conferment ceremony.【】

It was around two o'clock in the morning, probably around two o'clock in the morning, and the Weiyang Palace was already brightly lit. The candlelight was projected through the bright red lanterns with the word "Fu" in gold and color, and shone on the white marble floor, making it a shimmering red.

The palace maids dressed up for weddings wore pink palace flowers in their hair and light red light cotton gowns. The palace shoes were decorated with red beads. Together with the eunuchs, they were holding gift boxes and special ceremonial guards for the ceremony, and were walking back and forth.

Next, the stone path in front of the temple is paved with long, bright red pulu.

At three o'clock in the morning, around three o'clock in the morning, Zhong Qingye got up. He was dressed in a festive outfit. Chun'er and Yanzi, who had their hair combed with holy temples, immediately came forward, put a bright red soft brocade fox fur cloak on her, tied up her long hair,

He fixed it with a plain silver hairpin, tied it with a bright red peony oil umbrella, and walked slowly out of the palace.

Zhong Qingye sat on a Zhai Feng soft sedan with a calm expression. The eunuch carrying the sedan shouted loudly, lifted Yingying, and walked forward in a hurry. Chun'er, Yanzi and all the palace ladies trotted behind.

.

The Empress Ceremony is a country's most important ceremony after the new emperor's enthronement. According to the rules, Zhong Qingye must first go to a special bath to burn incense and bathe for three quarters before returning to Fengyi Palace to dress up and change clothes, and then take the Nine Colors

Zhai Fengyu drove to the holy altar for the ceremony.

The bathing place is called Caiquan Pool, which is made of Khotan white jade. The hot springs from the mountain outside the palace are poured into it, and mixed with pearl powder and secret medicine, which has the effect of nourishing the skin, curing diseases and prolonging life.

There are three pools in Caiquan Pool, which are used by the emperor, empress and concubines. The new emperor ascended the throne and the harem was empty, so the three pools have been sealed and never opened. Qi Mo ascended the throne a few months ago, so he opened the emperor's Nine Dragon Pool. Now Zhong Qingye has sealed the pool.

Later, the Nine Phoenix Pond dedicated to the Queen was opened. However, the Concubine's Bird Pond is still closed.

The Caiquan Palace was extremely quiet. The long crimson brocade carpet stretched from the palace gate to the front of the white pool. It was covered with bright red peony petals. All the internal prisoners had retreated, leaving only dozens of palace maids.

Zhong Qingye was served and took off his palace shoes. He was supported by Chuner Yanzi on the left and right, and walked barefoot little by little into the Jiufeng Pond in Caiquan Palace.

The body of the pool is as white as jade, with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns carved on the edges. The pool has already been filled with milky white hot spring water, with some pink, white, or red petals densely floating on it. The hot air rises up, covering the pool.

The entire field of view is covered, and the petals seem to be floating on the clouds.

Incense is not allowed to be burned in Caiquan Palace, but the scent of petals becomes fresher and richer after being washed with hot water, making people feel dizzy and sleepy.

Zhong Qingye had a bad night sweat last night and didn't sleep well. Now standing by the pond, he suddenly fainted. He put his hands on his temples and rubbed his temples to regain his consciousness. He turned to Yanzi and others and said, "You guys go out first.

I can just do it myself."

Yanzi saw that her face was a little pale and felt worried. Zhong Qingye shook his head at her. Several palace maids put down the bright red silk curtains on the spiritual wood arch and then retreated a little, but they did not leave the palace either.

Standing behind a nine-story curtain.

Zhong Qingye was the only one left in front of the huge bathing pool. Her expression became more and more sleepy. She lazily untied her belt, scattered her hair, and stepped into the pool water.

The filling point of the pool is the half body of a jasper phoenix. Milky white water slowly flows down from the mouth of the phoenix. The entire palace is extremely quiet, and only the sound of rushing water can be heard. In order to prevent slipping, the bottom of the white jade pool is specially carved with precise patterns of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix.

, the edges have been uniformly smoothed, and your feet will only feel itchy when you step on them, without any scratches.

Zhong Qingye leaned against the edge of the pool, with her hair flowing down smoothly. The water in the pool was warm, soft and smooth, and the touch of it brushing against her skin was like fine silk. The water vapor was so thick that even her eyelashes became moist.

The more moist, the more it makes people feel dizzy.

Zhong Qingye frowned and shook her head vigorously. Today's ceremony is very important and she must not make any mistakes.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be of no use. The hot air penetrated into his mind at every opportunity, turning his thoughts into a puddle of mud. Zhong Qingye had no choice but to lie down, resting his head on the smooth and shiny emerald beside the pool, and was about to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhong Qingye felt that he was half asleep when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and he suddenly woke up. However, it was Chun'er and Yanzi who were kneeling by the pool, looking at her with worried faces.

"Mother, you don't look too good. Are you okay?"

Zhong Qingye forced a smile and shook his head. He was so lazy that he didn't even want to say anything. When he came out of the pool, he immediately put on something woven from white fox fetal hair and wrapped himself in a thick duck down cloak. He was protected by a group of people and still sat in the sedan chair.

He hurried towards Fengyi Palace.

Everything in Fengyi Palace has been prepared. The six alloy mahogany doors are all closed, and a little golden light shines through the gaps in the door frames.

There were a lot of maids in the palace, and a lot of old ladies waiting around. Zhong Qingye was like a puppet doll, being played with by them blankly. He felt that his head was getting more and more dizzy, and his whole mind became trance-like.

First there was a crimson embroidered phoenix bellyband, then a thin, almost transparent light red underwear, then dark red, then deep red... layers of red bloomed on her body one after another, as if slowly blooming.

Manzhu Shahua.

Her face was painted with Feixia makeup, which was delicate and charming yet dignified. The smoky red rouge and the tender white pearl powder overlapped each other, which finally made her pale face look very good. Her long eyebrows were painted with Yuanshan Dai.

, spread out thinly and softly, and the full golden pearls on the eyebrows are connected with the crimson eyes, complementing each other.

Zhong Qingye's three thousand green silk hairs were wiped to seventy percent dry, and neatly tied into a bun. In front of her was an exquisite purple and gold glazed phoenix crown, with pearls, gold and jade swaying necklaces hanging down.

There are twelve white jade beads, hanging down and broken into pieces, and the charming face disappears and appears, becoming more and more sultry.

The queen's headdress has a total of thirty-two tree hairpins, all of different shapes and colors. Each one is more exquisite than the last, and each one is more charming than the last. Together with the bead curtain on the side of the head and forehead, the beads and jade crackle between movement and movement, which is so fine that it makes people feel at ease.

After putting on her makeup, Zhong Qingye looked in the mirror. She was a charming and dignified woman. Her eyes were clear and delicate, and her own amorous feelings were wrapped around her. When she moved slightly, the ornaments on her head were shining brightly.
