The reborn soft empress only wants to hug her thighs

Chapter 162 and 2
Fast forward to August 25th.

Early in the morning, when Luo Chuchu was still comfortably hugging Mrs. Zhu on the bed, the maids came in and opened the curtains, pulling her out of the thin quilt gently but firmly.

His eyes were blankly wiped by the maid, and after brushing his teeth with a toothbrush made of animal hair, he almost woke up from sleepiness.Next is the bath.

Because Luo Chu's parents were dead, Yan Wenmao had no choice but to take the role that should have been played by the elders.

He also woke up early, came to Chongtian Palace, and checked to see if the venue had been arranged.When the inspection is almost done, stand on the east steps.

A group of young eunuchs were neatly dressed and stood under the west steps holding trays.The musicians and others have already adjusted their instruments on the side, preparing to play music later.

Luo Chuchu changed her clothes and came to Chongtian Palace in a chariot, but she could not stand directly in front of people at this time, but sat in the east room and waited.

Hearing that the music had started outside, Luo Chuchu calculated that there was still some time left, and slowly ate the cakes.

The ministers outside entered in order according to their official ranks and sat in their own seats.

Every time a person came in, Yan Wenmao made a bow, and he didn't sit on the host's seat until everyone was present.

After the musician finished playing nine pieces of music, it was time for Yan Wenmao to get up on the high platform and read the courtesy speech to the ministers word by word.

Although it is a cliché, he read it very seriously.

The maid was always vigilant about Yan Wenmao's final words, and when he finished reading, when he said "Please move forward to attend the ceremony", he reminded the invited praisers to go outside.

Because all the prominent concubines in the late emperor's harem were killed, and the rest of the concubines had been sent out of the palace, Yan Wenmao chose a well-known long-lived old lady in the capital to be Luo Chuchu's admirer.

She is over ninety years old, but her body is still healthy, and she doesn't need support to walk, which is very rare and can be called a centenarian.

The old lady's silver-white hair was combed brightly and tied into a bun, with rich and auspicious gold and jade inserted on it, and she was dressed in brocade clothes, and she still retained a bit of elegance when she walked.

She first washed her hands in the jade washroom held by the maid, and then walked to the west steps to wait.

Luo Chuchu took a big sip of tea, and after swallowing it, he walked to the middle of the high platform unhurriedly, facing south and bowing to the guests on the high platform.

The palace maid led her to kneel on the seat, facing west.

Luo Chuchu sat upright. The old lady came over and combed her hair with a jade comb. After combing, she put the comb on the south side of the mat.

Originally, ordinary people still have a hand washing etiquette between guests and hosts, but Luo Chuchu's status is special, so it was omitted and went directly to the next link.

According to the maid's whispered reminder, Luo Chuchu turned to sit on the east side, and the big palace lady came to the side holding the tray.

The old lady walked in front of Luo Chuchu, and chanted her congratulatory speech: "On the auspicious day of the Lingmoon, I will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, and follow your success. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

Then he knelt down on the mat, took the hairpin from the tray in the maid's hand, and put it on for her.

When the old lady returned to her original position and Luo Chuchu got up, all the officials stood up and bowed in congratulations.

Luo Chuchu returned to the east room and changed into plain clothes and skirts.

When she changed her clothes, she wanted to sigh a little. This ceremony is too cumbersome, but it's already halfway through, so just bear with it.

After changing the skirt and coming out, because both parents died, I changed to the direction of worshiping the emperor's mausoleum.

Sitting on the mat again, facing Zhengdong, the old woman cleaned her hands again, took her hairpin, and recited a congratulatory speech: "The auspicious moon and the day are for Shen Erfu. Respect Erwei, Shushende. Meishou For ten thousand years, I will be Hu Fu forever."

He removed the hairpin from Luo Chuchu's bun, and knelt down to put the hairpin on her.

Luo Chuchu got up, and all the officials bowed again.

This time the old lady who changed clothes also accompanied her, and went back to the east room to put on the matching deep skirt.

After coming out, they paid homage to the imperial mausoleum, and then the old lady washed her hands again, recited the congratulatory speech, and replaced Luo Chuchu with a hairpin crown.

Then go back to the east room and put on a long-sleeved dress and worship God.

This was the last change of clothes, and Luo Chuchu was sweating all over. Fortunately, it was much easier after that, and he didn't have to run around.

After symbolically eating some wine and rice at the Lijiu banquet, it was time for the highlight of the Jiji ceremony, the selection of characters.

The person who takes the characters has to be chosen from among the guests, and Yan Wenmao is extremely unwilling to let Wen Renyin help Luo Chuchu get the characters, so he finds a way to discuss with Shang Shuling Chu Yiqing and asks him to get the characters for Luo Chuchu.

Given Chu Yiqing's age and sufficient official qualifications, he should be the best candidate.

Luo Chuchu could now see Shang Shuling's face clearly, but he only had a rough look at him from a distance before.

Now that I got closer, I found that he not only had a half-white beard, but also half-white hair, with white hair mixed with black hair.Good-looking, a pair of red phoenix eyes, can be regarded as a handsome little old man.

Chu Yiqing read the congratulatory speech and said: "Etiquette is prepared, the auspicious day of the month is announced, and the word is announced. The word Kongjia is suitable for fashion scholars. It is suitable for fakes, and it will last forever. It is called Jing Mingfu."

That is to say, the word given to Luo Chuchu is "Jingming".

Luo Chuchu answered the thank you according to the etiquette, and then bowed to those who participated in the Jiji ceremony in order to express his gratitude.

At this point, Jiji Ceremony is basically over, and all the officials can leave after going to the garden next to Chongtian Palace to finish the banquet.

Give the old lady a tray of silver ingots covered with golden brocade and a handle of jade Ruyi, as gifts in addition to the negotiated remuneration, and send a carriage to send her out of the palace.

At the Jiji ceremony, Luo Chuchu had contact with Shang Shuling Chu Yiqing for the first time, and he couldn't help thinking: "Shang Shuling is a force that cannot be ignored, especially the official who is currently building the dam is his person. Do you want to get in touch?"

But Chu Yiqing's appearance is not a character to be fooled with, and he has quit fighting for power and profit for a long time, so I don't know if he is still willing to go into troubled waters.

Anyway, try it.

Luo Chuchu made up his mind to ask a little eunuch to go to the banquet to see if Chu Yiqing was still there.

Chu Yi smiled lightly and chatted with the officials around him about some innocuous topics, and when he encountered those who didn't want to answer, he would play tricks and fool them, which made people feel that it was indeed a slippery old thing.

An unremarkable little eunuch searched the banquet, then quietly walked to Chu Yiqing from the side of the flowers, and said to him in a low voice: "Master Shang Shuling, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Chu Yiqing raised his brows and thought.

It happened that he also wanted to inquire about some things with Luo Chuchu, so he stood up politely and said to the official who was chatting just now: "I still have some things to do, so I'm sorry."

The little eunuch led Chu Yiqing to Qifeng Palace, and chose a small path to avoid possible people on the road.

Chu Yiqing was not short, he frowned and pushed aside the branches and leaves hanging in front of his eyes, but another branch caught his beard again.

"What road are you taking?"

The little eunuch looked back and saw that the beard that Shang Shuling had carefully maintained was entangled, he felt a sudden burst of heart, and laughed to untie Chu Yiqing's beard.
