Chapter 720 Shocked
The canonization ceremony was held in Weiyang Palace.
As the protagonist of this ceremony, Xiao Xixi was dug out of the bed by Baoqin before dawn.
"Niangniang, don't go to bed, get up and change clothes and wash up, today is a big day for you to be sealed, so don't delay your time!"
Xiao Xixi rubbed her eyes and said vaguely.
"Why is my right eyelid twitching? Could it be bad luck?"
Baoqin hurriedly said, "Bah! Bah! How can you say such unlucky words on such an important day?!"
Xiao Xixi: "But I do have a bad feeling."
If others say this, it may be because of anxiety caused by being too nervous.
But the imperial concubine is different. She is a member of the Xuanmen, and she can calculate and count, and she is born with an instinctive ability to predict danger.
Baoqin's heart sank when she heard this. Could something bad happen today?
At this time, Orezhi walked in with two little palace maids, who were holding the clothes, shoes and socks that the imperial concubine was going to wear for the canonization ceremony today.
Baoqin felt uneasy, and just in case, she said to Zhezhi.
"Is the imperial concubine's clothes all right?"
Zhezhi said truthfully: "This dress was sent by Si Zheng from the Shangfu Division the day before yesterday. I checked it and there is no problem."
Baoqin: "Let's check it again."
Today's day is too special, there must be no chance of a slight difference, and no amount of caution can be overstated.
Although Ziezhi didn't understand why Baoqin suddenly wanted to check her clothes, she didn't ask any further questions, and immediately asked the two little palace maids to unfold the clothes.
Baoqin and Zhezhi approached and checked carefully.
This suit was made by more than a dozen embroidered mothers, and it took a lot of effort. No matter it is style or workmanship, it is impeccable.
The two did not check for any problems.
Baoqin was a little relieved: "It seems that I am over-hearted."
Zhezhi said: "It's always good to be careful."
Time is precious, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly waited on the imperial concubine to change clothes and wash.
After the imperial concubine finished her breakfast, she began to comb her hair and make up.
In order to prevent accidents, all cosmetics have also been checked repeatedly by Baoqin, and they dared to use them on the face of the imperial concubine after confirming that there is no problem.
During this period, Concubine Jing came once, saying that she wanted to see if there was anything I needed help here.
As a result, Drizzle sent away with the reason that the imperial concubine was busy.
It's already an hour after getting dressed up.
Xiao Xixi looked at herself in the mirror and lamented silently, today is another day to become a jewelry display stand.
She was wearing a long waist-length skirt made of white snow satin inside, and a red long-sleeved long blouse. Behind him, the skirt is embroidered with layered patterns of peacock tail feathers, which are full of brilliance and incomparably gorgeous.
A gold ribbon is tied around his waist, and a long golden silk shawl is hung between his arms.
A delicate and small vermilion peony flower is embellished between the eyebrows, and the red lips are charming.
Wearing a gilt-inlaid ruby corolla on the head, the thin golden tassel hangs down, which contrasts with the gold and red pendant necklace around the neck.
This flower crown is more delicate and heavier than the flower crown when she attended the Mid-autumn family banquet last time.
Xiao Xixi felt Alexander on her head.
She asked, "Can't I change to a smaller headgear?"
Baoqin: "Of course not, this is a crown that can only be worn by imperial concubines, it is a symbol of your status, you must wear it today!"
Xiao Xixi sighed, and before the canonization ceremony began, she felt that her neck was starting to get tired.
Seeing that it was almost time, Baoqin and Zhezhi helped the imperial concubine out of the bedroom.
This is the drizzle running over, respectfully.
"Niang Qiqi, Su Cairen is here, saying that he is here to congratulate you."
Xiao Xixi waved his hand, indicating that he was missing.
She has to go to Weiyang Palace soon, how can she have time to chat with Su Cairen?
Drizzle ordered to leave.
She walked to the entrance of Yunxiu Palace and said to Su Cairen who was waiting outside.
"Go back, the concubine is busy now and has no time to see you."
Su Cairen was very disappointed when she heard the words, but she did not give up, but insisted on staying here and waiting for the concubine.
She knew that the imperial concubine would run to the Weiyang Palace immediately, and as long as she stood at the door and waited, she would definitely be able to wait for the imperial concubine.
Drizzle persuaded her that she would not listen, so she had to go with her.
After a while, the imperial concubine walked out of Yunxiu Palace slowly with the help of the palace maid, and walked towards the car parked on the edge of the palace road.
"Your Majesty's Concubine!"
Xiao Xixi stopped subconsciously when she heard someone calling her.
Su Cairen walked quickly to her with the palace maid and respectfully blessed her body.
"My concubine, please greet the noble concubine!"
Xiao Xixi was a little surprised: "Why are you still here?"
Su Cairen raised her red lips and smiled like flowers: "Today is your big day, concubine wants to congratulate you in person, when you go to Weiyang Palace, there are too many people there, I am afraid that concubine will not be able to find her. Your chance to speak."
Xiao Xixi: "So you waited here on purpose just to say congratulations to Ben Gong?"
Su Cairen lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, looking a little shy: "Yes."
Xiao Xixi smiled: "Thank you for your kindness."
Baoqin reminded: "It's getting late. If Su Cairen has nothing else to do, please let it go."
Su Cairen withdrew to the side with the palace maid.
Xiao Xixi walked past them.
When the two sides brushed past, a gust of wind blew.
The hem of Xiao Xixi's clothes swayed gently in the wind, the golden tassels on her head collided with each other, and the ring was ringed, making a soft noise.
Su Cairen's nose moved and suddenly shouted.
"The imperial concubine, please stay!"
Xiao Xixi had to stop again and looked at Su Cairen puzzled.
Su Cairen took two steps forward, leaned in front of the imperial concubine, and took a deep breath.
Baoqin immediately became vigilant: "What is Su Cairen doing?"
Su Cairen raised his head and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, you seem to smell like Yihua."
Xiao Xixi: "Yihua?"
Su Cairen: "It is a raw material for making spices, and it can also be used as medicine, but if it is ground into powder with raw grains, direct contact with the skin will make people feel unbearable itching all over the body, if not treated in time, it will also cause skin and flesh fester,"
Hearing this, Baoqin, Drizzle and the others were all shocked.
Xiao Xixi's expression also changed a little.
She raised her right hand, brought her sleeve to her nose, and smelled it carefully. Except for the normal incense smell, she didn't smell anything else.
Su Cairen saw her doubts and took the initiative to explain.
"The powder was originally pale yellow.
But as long as it comes into direct contact with the air, it gradually melts and becomes colorless.
The smell is also very light, and most people can't smell it.
The concubine was because she had inadvertently been exposed to this powder.
In addition, the concubine's nose is more sensitive than ordinary people, so that it can detect the strangeness in you. "
Speaking of which, her tone was already a little eager.
"Hurry up and change your clothes before the effect of the medicine starts."
