The only queen can use Zhai Fengwen. Ordinary concubines, even the most favored concubines of the emperor, will be a crime of usurpation if they use them without permission.

Xia Tong became more and more shocked as she looked at her. If she really wore such a dress to attend the enthronement ceremony, she would not be able to protect herself whenever she was noticed. Even if the problem was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she would inevitably be criticized for her ambitions.

Who wants to harm her? Empress Dowager Jiang, Jiang Yingyue, or Concubine De Xianfei? Jiang Bilan is now at the end of her strength and has no ability to tamper with her. Who is trying every means to get along with her?

Xia Tong hurriedly put away the satin clothes, as if he was afraid of being bitten by a poisonous snake. "Hurry up, let Changqing take it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and change it to a new one."

Ping Gu originally wanted to say that being a concubine was a big deal. Not to mention others, even the Empress Dowager might not have the authority to instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This may have other inside information. But when she saw Xia Tong looking like a great enemy, she sighed and swallowed the words quietly.

Fortunately, there are three or four days left before the Concubine. Although the Interior Affairs Office only made this one, there were many silk threads. Just in case, it was just a matter of modification. It was not difficult to just modify the pattern inside the clothes and let the embroiderer in the embroidery workshop work overnight.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs agreed readily, and specially picked a few new silks from Jinqiu to give to Xia Tong as a gift. Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief and accepted their apology, but did not ask for the apology - her current status is rising, and she is becoming more cautious in her words and actions, so that people cannot grasp the wrong things. In comparison, being good with others is always better than being evil.

Besides, it won't delay much.

An Ruhai reported the Emperor the danger-free storm in Guanju Palace to the emperor, covering his chest and said, "Master Xia is scared this time. Who knows that the Office of the Internal Affairs is so unreliable! I don't know who is doing the tricks in it."

Empress Dowager Jiang did not have to use such a crooked way, but her two nieces may not be. Concubine Wen De and Concubine Xu Xian are also responsible for preparing for the ceremony of conferring concubines. Perhaps they were jealous of Master Xia and deliberately stumbling up. That was not impossible.

An Ruhai looked at the emperor's face and wanted to hear what the emperor did, but Liu Zhang said softly: "It was me who did it."

An Ruhai: “…?!”

Liu Zhang sighed: "I originally wanted to give her a surprise, but I didn't expect that Concubine Chen was more careful than I thought. She noticed it easily, which made the Ministry of Internal Affairs lose his reputation in vain."

An Ruhai said, isn’t this a surprise or a shock?

He smiled and said, "Master Xia has always been cautious. Even if you can understand Your Majesty's deep meaning, you may not dare to bear it. If Your Majesty is willing, he feels that the concubine is not enough to treat Master Xia, so he doesn't have to go beyond the rules. He will give her some more examples. After all, there are two little masters in Guanju Palace, and even if they spend more money, it is hard for others to say anything."

Liu Zhang nodded, "You are right, but I am confused." He pondered, "Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they should send them to Guanju Palace as soon as possible after they have modified their dresses, so as not to delay the ceremony."

Although he was a little disappointed, he felt a little more relaxed. Xia Tong was still the same Xia Tong, and his character did not change due to changes in his status. This made the emperor feel much more at ease.

An Ruhai knew what to say best and said in response: "I know what your majesty you mean. Master Xia can naturally take on that position, but it is not advisable to be too hasty at the moment. After two years, Master Xia's status will be stable, and it will be much easier to discuss it at that time."

I still admire the concentration of Guan Ju Palace. If I had changed to Concubine Jiang from the past, even if I noticed that the dress was wrong, I would probably wear it in a hurry to show off, so such a person is destined not to last long.

Like Master Xia, he will be blessed with endless blessings.

When Empress Dowager Jiang heard that the Office of Internal Affairs was making a mistake, she guessed in her heart that the emperor had tampered and snorted coldly, "It's still a tactful person with the surname Xia."

Knowing that she was not worthy, she quit. Otherwise, if she dared to wear Zhai Fengwen to the Taimiao to pay a gift, Empress Dowager Jiang would be sure to tear her face off.

While pinching the shoulders for the old lady, Madam Chang said with a heart-warming voice: "I see Master Xia is a good person. His Majesty said he wanted to make her the imperial concubine before, so she quit? It can be seen that Master Xia has a scale in her heart. She knows more than anyone else what she does and what she doesn't do."

Empress Dowager Jiang was particularly disdainful, "She is retreating to advance. How noble do you think she is?"

Just looking at the small mistakes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time, she wished the whole mansion would come to compensate Xia Tong. It was gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin and silk. She had never seen anyone in the palace enjoy such decent experience!

On the other hand, not only did her niece be demoted to Jieyu, but the emperor also ordered to only provide the service according to the order of the elected servant. Seeing Jiang Bilan becoming thinner and becoming a skull with a beautiful face, Empress Dowager Jiang could not explain to her mother's brothers!

It’s a pity that the two wives of the Jiang family had to come to attend Xia Tong’s consecration ceremony in person, and they could not show any displeasure on their faces. Empress Dowager Jiang thought that she would be so frustrated.

But what can she do? Her son was fascinated by Xia's heart, and her grandson was all in Xia's belly. She became an old woman who had no love and no one loved her, and could only cry at the wall.

The day when Xia Tong was awarded a concubine was before the Double Ninth Festival, it was frost. When I got up in the morning, I saw small white beads hanging in the lawn in the yard. When the sun shone, it shone brightly like glazed tiles.

Ping Gu smiled and said, "There are thousands of rays of rays and a thousand auspicious spirits. It can be seen that God is here to cheer for the Empress!"

Xia Tong was wearing that elegant and luxurious dress, and could only smile reservedly. There were two little palace maids behind her carrying long skirts for her - otherwise she would have to drag it to the ground.

Fortunately, the emperor ordered An Ruhai to prepare a chariot for her, otherwise he would have walked to Taimiao at this speed, and he would probably not have been able to walk for a day.

After going to Taimiao to perform the ceremony and receiving his own golden book and treasure, Xia Tong returned to Guanju Palace slowly.

All the ladies have arrived at this time.

Mrs. Jiang has the highest grade and is also at the forefront. Even though she deliberately puts on makeup, her face covered with rouge still cannot be stopped, making her look particularly funny.

But even if she was not convinced, when she came to Xia Tong, she still had to bow down deeply, "My wife pays homage to Concubine Chen, wishing the Empress to be blessed and healthy forever."

Xia Tong smiled condescendingly, "Madam, please get up."

Mrs. Jiang quickly stood up and patted the gray on her dress, "Why is Concubine Jiang not here? Empress, can you let the wife see her?"

In fact, the emperor did not order the ban on Jiang Bilan. It was Jiang Bilan who felt ashamed and had no face to meet her family.

But why did Xia Tong let the eldest lady know about the inside story? She was so happy to see her anxious here, "Jiang Jiewei is sick, so it's not advisable to come out to see guests. Lady, please don't be sick."

With such a contemptuous tone, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but wonder if she deliberately instigated the emperor to lock up Bilan. Her jealousy and resentment made Mrs. Jiang's eyes burst into tears. After finally suppressing it, she looked at Xia Tong and said, "The pattern of the empress's clothes looks very special. I wonder if I can let the wife see it?"

As he said that, he wanted to reach out, but Chunlan quickly grabbed her hand and hit her on the arm, "Random, what is your identity? How dare you turn over the empress's clothes?"

The man who is used to doing rough work is particularly strong. Mrs. Jiang seemed to be hit by a soldering iron. At this time, she had no time to argue with a girl. She just stared at Xia Tong and said, "Although the wife didn't really see it very clearly, the folds of the empress's dress seemed to be embroidered not by the green phoenix bird used by the concubine, but by the nine-tailed Zhai Feng?"

He took a break from his busy schedule to wink with Jiang Yingyue, and Jiang Yingyue nodded slightly.

Mrs. Jiang was at ease. Finally, this concubine's daughter was useful and she could find some face for her. Even if embroidering Zhai Feng pattern was the emperor's idea, Xia Tong dared to wear this presumptuous dress, which would be a violation of the following. Mrs. Jiang had to peel her off.

The women present saw the Prime Minister’s wife making such amazing words, and they all opened their eyes wide. They thought the ceremony was as boring as before, and it turned out to be so wonderful!

When he was facing the stern, he did not dare to come forward to persuade him, so he stood there from a distance, so as not to cause any war to affect him.

Xia Tong looked a little nervous and shouted loudly: "Madam, be careful of your words! If you have no real evidence and slander the head of the palace in this way, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish you?"

Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Jiang became more and more convinced that the other party was harsh and weak, and she felt proud, "Don't the Empress dare? Since this is the case, the wife of the minister will leave her words here. If the wife really wronged the Empress and voluntarily removed the title of first-class imperial edict, and never set foot in the inner palace again, will the Empress still be satisfied?"

Her younger brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang Er, winked at her desperately. The eldest lady just pretended not to see her. She believed that Xia Tong was ahead of her. Since this is the case, what's the terrible thing about making a poisonous oath? As long as Xia Tong was unlucky, she felt comfortable in her heart.

Mrs. Jiang Er thought to herself that this sister-in-law was really helpless, so she had to stand aside with her fate.

Xia Tong calmed down at this moment and said calmly: "It is not convenient to wear clothes here, so please ask the eldest lady to follow the palace to check it out. Mrs. Jiang Er and Mrs. Feng will also come to witness it."

One of these two people has a relationship with the Jiang family and the other has a grudge with the Jiang family, so it is naturally fair. What's more, the current beloved concubine Chen personally invited her, how dare she refuse?

Feng Yuzhen's legitimate mother was even more happy. She didn't like Feng Yuzhen in the past, but as Feng Yuzhen made a comeback, the Feng family's future gradually became brighter. Instead, the mortal enemy Jiang's family was getting worse day by day. Mrs. Feng wanted to step on Mrs. Jiang's face so that this old pious woman could never get up again.

She followed Xia Tong happily, ready to fight at any time.

Mrs. Jiang Er looked helpless. Her sister-in-law was so impulsive that she also involved her. She didn't know who to complain to!

Only Mrs. Jiang was still immersed in the dream of helping her daughter take revenge, and she didn't know that she was in a trap.

Li Mi took advantage of everyone's attention and was led by Xia and Jiang's family and quietly pulled the back of her stepmother, "Mom, come with me."

Her stepmother was watching the fun, but suddenly she was found by Li Mi and called her mother warmly, looking like she had seen a ghost.

But as the saying goes, if she killed the whole family in her previous life, she would be a stepmother in this life. Her stepmother married a second-marriage widower at her youthful age, and she felt that she was not unpredictable.

Li Mi has always been disrespectful to her and is not concerned about her. Now that she suddenly comes to please her, she must have something to ask for. Her stepmother comes to Jingfu Palace without showing any expression, and her mind is already thinking. If Li Mi asks her for money, she will say that the family is difficult and her children are still going to school. Speaking of which, Li Mi did not bring any benefits to her family, why should she help her? The Li family is not a mountain of gold and silver.

Seeing her mean and polite appearance, Li Mi felt a little disgusted in her stomach, but it is not suitable for a man from outside to enter the palace, and the only stepmother she can find is this stepmother.

Before he could greet her, the stepmother glanced at her and said, "The ugly words are ahead, and I don't want money. In order to send you to the palace, your father bought a lot of clothes and embezzled my dowry. I don't see any filial piety. It's all because you are incompetent and can't grasp the emperor's heart, so you should suffer some hardship."

As he said, he got up and wanted to leave. Seeing this, Li Mi had to take out the magic weapon to control the mountains and hand a set of bright glass bowls to her.

The stepmother's eyes immediately stood up, "Where did this come from... the emperor reward you?"

I have long heard that this Western thing is very rare, delicate and fragile, but it is a little more crystal clear than jade. Now that I see it, I know that the rumors are true.

Li Mi said: "It's not something I'm rewarding, it's made by myself."

She likes to tinker with some weird craftsmanship at home. Her stepmother doesn't think it's strange, but compared to those exquisite and naughty, the things in front of her are more practical - the Li family is more developed!

Seeing her joyful expression, Li Mi wanted to sell it for money immediately, and she felt speechless, "Don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking."

Because Kuankuan informed others about his well-established plan.

After hearing this, the stepmother looked at her up and down several times, "Do you want to use this to seek credit from Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make you a concubine?"

Li Mi nodded. She learned how to make glass for no reason, and she had to have a background. This thing was paid tribute to the West and there was no record in ancient books. It would be better to just say that it was a dream - and it would be less likely that others would ask questions.

Since it's a dream, it's better to do it bigger. It just so happened that her family was originally a priest of the Imperial College, so Li Mi planned to ask her father to perform a play at this year's festival, saying that it was the goddess who dreamed and helped the Great Zhou prosper.

Anyway, Xia Tong even created Feng’s life, so she didn’t care about picking up people’s Yahui. Li Mi didn’t believe that Master Qingyuan really knew how to write a spirit and criticize his life. Most of the time, Xia Tong was bribed and deliberately created momentum.

I originally wanted the emperor to make himself the queen directly, but this was not very safe after all, so I would rather be a concubine first and then I would like to take a look at it slowly if I had the chance in the future.

After hearing this, my stepmother thought that this skill of making glass is a good recipe for wealth. With it, why worry about not being able to make a fortune? But does Li Mi use it as a concubine? What benefits does this do to herself...

Li Mi knew that the foolish woman was short-sighted and immediately reminded: "Mom, think about it, when I become a concubine, can't the family be rich? Not to mention anything else, even if my father wants to be promoted to the position, it will be much easier for my younger brothers to plan to become an official in the future."

It was this sentence that prompted the stepmother to make up her mind, not to mention that the skill of making glass was in Li Mi's hands. If she refused, others would have no choice but to do anything to her.

The stepmother decided to cooperate, but she looked at Li Mi nervously and said, "Do you promise that Concubine Chen will not stop us?"

I heard that Xia was really strange. In the past, many palace concubines fell in her hands, just like magic tricks. At first, she borrowed the glass cup, otherwise Li Mi would not have easily broken the mystery.

Li Mi said calmly: "She is just relying on her luck, but I will never let her take this credit."
