Palace Manager looked at palace maid crouching as she cupped her hands in greeting, "The Empress's estimate is correct. According to the size that the Empress has mentioned, it's just perfect."
"The sleeve inside is too long. The sleeve of the outer garment is long enough to cover it. The inner sleeve is made to fit a little bit, so it should be more active." Wang Rong He stretched out his hand and said. He looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The wedding dress was complicated and complicated. There were at least eight or nine layers, embroidered with clouds and clouds, raised or lowered dragon patterns, embroidered with Zhai patterns, and a pair of multicolored brocade chickens. Good looks were good looks, but bad looks were also heavy. She raised her arm to see if she could move.
"Isn't it a little loose at the waist?" Wulv said as she touched her waist.
"Do you need to pay another two points?" Palace Manager asked Wang Ronghe.
"No need." Wang Rong He said, "Isn't there a jade belt outside that we want to bring? The wedding ceremony will be over in a day, and I will be tired and exhausted. My clothes are already heavy, and if I am still hugging my waist, I might feel short of breath and make a belt for myself. However, if I am bored, I can loosen my belt and relax. "
"Yes." "The Palace Manager said. I hope that the Empress can try out her phoenix clogs. "
Wearing a formal dress would require the support of someone to be able to sit down. Wang Rong told him that once she sat down and stood up, it would be necessary for you to go through another process of arranging the folds of your clothes.
The phoenix clogs were a type of shoes called late-night shoes. The bottom was four inches high, the front was narrow, and the back was tall. When a person stepped on them, they would naturally lift their head and straighten their chest. Red silk as the bottom, embroidered with gold thread pattern and inlaid with pearls, jade and precious stones.
"Empress, please try on the Phoenix Crown." Palace Manager said in a timely manner.
The phoenix coronet was stored within the red lacquered wood box. As the box was opened, a precious gem light immediately shone into the room, causing the palace maid to exclaim in surprise, even though the empress's etiquette styles were all nine dragons and four phoenix crowns.
But the phoenix crown in front of him is too beautiful, Palace Manager Shang Gong explained in detail, "This phoenix crown is made from thin bamboo threads painted with jade bird feathers. The surrounding plum blossoms are made of pearls and gems, a total of eighteen of them. The front of the crown is adorned with a symmetrical spot of emerald blue flying phoenixes. Three gold dragons made of gold wire were arranged at the top of the crown, two of which had double pearl tassels in their mouths. In the middle of the tassels, the gold tassels were woven with gold tassels and red jewels into hexagonal patterns. The tassels extended all the way to the shoulders. "The back of the phoenix crown is decorated with six pearly gems, which are shaped like a fan and separated from the left and right sides."
"The phoenix coronet was personally made by the Emperor." Palace Manager said.
"Very pretty." Wang Rong He said as he reached out his hand to fiddle with the tassels held by the golden dragon. "I'm afraid this phoenix crown will be quite expensive."
"His Imperial Majesty's grand wedding is naturally a selection of the best. Not mentioning the phoenix coronet, just the cost of weaving alone is 90,000 silver. " Shang Guanzhang said, "This phoenix coronet is quite expensive, but the Empress isn't the only one she wears. This is also the crown of the Grand Court."
Wang Rong He nodded his head to show that he understood. The phoenix coronet was not light at all. The two of them carefully placed the phoenix crown on Wang Rong's head until Dai Tu shook his head and said, "I really don't dare to move this time."
"Niangniang, there's also the belt around your waist, the belt, the leather belt, covering your knees, the big wristband, and the jade pendant and small wristband hanging around your waist. You haven't put them on yet."
"Empress, there are also the five matters of the Pearl Jadeite Mask Flower, the Pearl Ribbon, and the Saponins that have not been decorated yet." The monk from the Palace Manager replied in unison.
Wang Rong stretched out her hand, "Since you're already dressed like this, just put it on."
With everything properly dressed, Wang Rong and her two arms needed someone to support them. "The Empress's wearing this is especially awe-inspiring." Wulv whispered.
"It has to be a little useful to carry a few dozen Jin." Wang Rong He said, "Take it off, I'm covered in sweat."
It took half a day to put it on, and half a day to change it. Fortunately, there was nothing that needed to be changed. Wang Rong He said, "It's been hard on you all to be servants." Xi Tao brought over the tray, on it were some red character embroidered lottery bags. The two Palace Manager s took the bags, then bowed and left.
"I wonder if there was a painter's portrait on the day of the wedding?" Wang Rong sat down to drink a cup of cold tea to rest her sweat. Seeing that the girls were still excited, she recalled that she was also interested in dressing up like this. "This kind of dress only happens once in a lifetime. It would be great if I could paint it and save it for my memories in the future."
"Bring me pen and paper." Wang Rong He said, "Give me another piece of calligraphy brush."
Wang Rong and not good at painting is just not good at painting the current fashion watercolor brushes, she used eyebrow pencil drawing out of the things are quite similar. She drew herself in a formal dress, and before she finished, someone told her that a waiter had arrived.
"What a coincidence. Come in." Wang Rong said with a smile.
Zhang Cheng was followed by an attendant, "This little one pays respects to the Empress."
"I just happened to have something for you to bring to His Majesty, but it's not ready yet. Please wait a moment." Wang Rong He said.
"It doesn't matter how long I wait for you to do something for the Empress." Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "This humble one came today because of an important matter, this is Li Gong, the steward and eunuch that His Majesty had instructed the Empress to serve, he was also previously on duty at Qianqing Palace, and is a loyal and quick-witted person. In the future, the Empress will look for Your Majesty if you need anything, no need to wait for me, just let Li Gong go to Qianqing Palace."
"That's good." Wang Rong He said, "It's just an elder who was taught by the Qianqing Palace to serve His Majesty. Isn't coming to the harem a little overkill?"
"The Empress and His Majesty's husband share the same body. It is this young one's fortune to be able to serve the Empress." This lowly one will serve the Empress as well as I will serve Her Majesty. " Li Gong said.
Wang Rong glanced at Li Gong, seeing that he was older than Zhang Cheng, he became calm, cleaned up, and nodded in satisfaction, "I'll depend on you from now on."
Wuyou, Xi Tao, Aunt Mei Dong is the manager's aunt for the time being, but right now, Aunt Mei and Wuyou are still at my mother's house, entering the palace together with the dowry. The rest of the little eunuchs in palace maid are under the control of Furong, now that you have come today, the little eunuchs are under your control.
Wang Rong and those who did not hold power, she let go of everything her underlings did to let them do it, all she wanted was to see the results.
"Yes." Li Gong said. The Kunning Palace has been newly completed, this is the blueprint, the Empress has seen anything that needs to be modified and approved on the blueprint, and this one will be modified by the Construction Bureau.
Wulv took the drawing and showed it to Wang Rong, "There's no rush. After the grand marriage, didn't we have to live in the Jiaotai Palace for seven days? Since the Jiaotai Palace is very close to the Kunning Palace, I will go and take a look when the time comes. " Wang Rong She smiled as she looked at her.
Zhang Cheng waited for around the time it took to brew a cup of tea before Wang Rong finished drawing and placed it in an envelope for Zhang Cheng to take away.
As a young son of heaven, he deserved to be called a diligent servant. Everyone in the imperial court felt that the Emperor had the attitude of a middle master, and under his praise and glory, he had high expectations for his majesty.
"When did you get back?" Zhu Yijun was drinking tea during the interval between the memorials. Seeing that it was Zhang Cheng who was serving tea, he asked, "Send Li Gong over, did she say anything?"
"The Empress is very happy." Zhang Cheng said, "The Empress still thinks that it's a waste for the eunuch trained by the Qianqing Palace to listen to her orders."
"What's the use of being a scammer? Did you bury him in front of the empress?" Zhu Yijun said, "We thought that she would want to cultivate her most trusted woman, and did not like us giving them to her."
"Seeing how the Empress's heart is so upright, as well as the eunuch that His Majesty sent over, the Empress immediately ordered him to take care of the eunuch without the slightest hesitation. When she thought back to before, whether it was the palace maid s chosen by the palace or the little girls sent over by the Marquis Wu Qing's wife, the Empress accepted them all with a smile.
"In the palace, you would happily accept any loyal person, isn't that not lacking in judgement?" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.
Just Xi Tao that the Empress picked out with her Chuxiu Palace alone. Although he was dull and did not come to the matter, his loyalty is not bad at all. "
"That Xi Tao doesn't look that smart." Zhu Yijun said, "But Li Gong is a little better in the past, so those palace maid s are afraid that he went out using Qianqing Palace, so they have to think twice before doing anything."
"The Empress could also guess that Your Majesty was being considerate and kind," Zhang Cheng said. The Empress has a letter for His Majesty today. "
Zhu Yijun glared, "Why didn't you bring it over earlier?"
"When this humble one returned, His Majesty was in the midst of reviewing the imperial reports. Uncle Feng had said that when His Majesty was dealing with government affairs, if this young eunuch wanted to distract His Majesty with some chores, he would have to beat the table." Zhang Cheng said.
"This Emperor told you to do this task. After you've done it, go back and forth from me. Is this a chore?" Zhu Yijun said. He opened the envelope and there was a small portrait inside. Zhu Yijun first said that he despised this painting.
"Did the queen try on a dress today?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"It should be. When this little one went over, the people from the Cangzhou Department and the Palace Manager Department probably just left and did not meet." Zhang Cheng said.
"Go get some paper and pen paint." Zhu Yijun looked at the little portrait with the black background and started thinking. So it turns out that whenhee said he wasn't good at painting, she really wasn't good at painting. Zhu Yijun said, there was no other way, he had chosen the empress and he didn't know how to draw for her.
"Choose another person to go to the painting bureau and choose the third or fourth person who can draw a picture. Then, record their paintings on the wedding day." Zhu Yijun said. However, after trying out the gown, she then drew a portrait and brought it over for him to see. If his wedding was painted by someone, she would be very happy …
Zhu Yijun drew a big, colourful portrait of Wang Rong and sent it over.
"Your Majesty really is an expert in painting." Wang Rong looked at the white dough on the portrait, with her thin eyebrows, thin eyes, small nose and small mouth, and the two extra lumps of pink cheeks as she sincerely praised.
Was that how she looked in his eyes?
Did something go wrong with his aesthetic sense?
