After Concubine Ling became a concubine, the entire harem began to respect her, because the emperor was over forty years old and had no children and no daughters, and the queen had long been deposed. Everyone thinks that as long as the concubine gives birth to a prince in the coming day, she will definitely be able to ascend to the throne of the queen.
Sure enough, half a year later, Concubine Shuli gave birth to a prince, and His Majesty the Emperor was happy and ordered an amnesty to the world. When the prince was 100 days old, the emperor held a grand banquet for him to celebrate, and then held a grand ceremony for the concubine.
On the day of the ceremony, Concubine Shuli was dressed in a red woven gold embroidered phoenix brocade dress and a phoenix crown with jewels on her head, which was brilliant and noble. She sat on a high sedan chair, everywhere she went, there was a blue sky and auspicious clouds, there were palace people kneeling down, pennants fluttering everywhere, drums bursting, the supreme queen of the harem, she finally got it. When she arrived at the main hall, she joined hands with the emperor to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. On this day, the emperor promised her that he would only spoil her in this life and this life.
Happiness comes so fast.
Becoming the queen, Concubine Shuli moved from the Ziling Palace to the Amethyst Castle. Amethyst Fort is a palace built specifically for the Empress, with 99 large and small rooms. In the queen's bedroom, vases, ornaments, and beaded curtains made of amethyst are shining, purple bed tents and bedding are gorgeous, and pots of purple phalaenopsis orchids are pleasing to the eye and refreshing. The queen lady wore a purple brocade dress embroidered with golden peonies, and she sat on a phoenix chair and sipped fragrant tea, accepting the slave's kneeling with peace of mind.
The slave knocks on the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
Raise your head and let Hongu take a look. ”
Be. Looking at the 60 new slaves newly selected for her by the Xunnu Palace, all of them are beautiful and clever, the queen is very satisfied. She pulled out her cowhide whip and asked if any of the minions would volunteer to give it a try. The minions below trembled with fright and shouted for their mothers to spare their lives. Suddenly, a little eunuch said:
The servant respectfully asked the queen mother to reward the whip. ”
The scene was suddenly silent, and the other minions were stunned.
Okay, it's a guts," the queen smiled.
The crisp sound of whips pierced the silent night sky, and the other minions still shivered. Although the whipped little eunuch gritted his teeth and let out a miserable moan, he never begged for mercy. After the punishment guard finished 20 lashes, the queen mother was satisfied and finally shouted to stop. This brave little eunuch was put before his master and thanked his master for his reward and punishment.
The queen said
In the future, you will be called Little Hulu and stay by the side of the palace to serve. ”
Yes, the slave Xie Queen Mother gave her name, and the slave must do his best to serve the master and live up to the queen's great grace. ”
The queen mother picked a few pleasing ones among the other slaves to stay, and the others were all assigned to do rough work outside, and kept to run errands.
