Chapter 204 Canonization
No one in the court or the public mentioned the farce that happened to Concubine De that day. The coronation ceremony and the empress-crowned ceremony went on as scheduled and were completed successfully.

The first year of Yongzheng's reign belonging to Yinzhen officially began.

"My lady, do you think it is beautiful?"

Yuxue excitedly looked at the results of her morning's hard work. Yihuan felt as if there was a jewelry display stand on her head. Although it was very beautiful, she dared not move at all.

"Yuxue, is it necessary to be so grand?" This was no different from the day of the Queen's coronation ceremony. It was too solemn.

"Hold on, Your Majesty. This is your first time paying respects to the Empress. You cannot let others outdo you."

Yihuan reached out and touched the Dongzhu on her ears. If nothing else, this pair of earrings was her new favorite. They were so beautiful.

In the Yiku Palace, Li looked around at the furnishings in the room and felt a little sour. She turned around and talked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to redecorate her Yongshou Palace.

Nian's delicate pink dress was particularly eye-catching. She had been in contact with Nian Gengyao before entering the palace.

Nian Gengyao was very worried about Nian Sisi's situation, but he was still optimistic: "Sisi, entering the palace is different from being in the palace. The emperor is now the emperor, and the queen is old. Prince Honghui's original cleverness is now a hindrance to him. The emperor likes his son's intelligence, but he is also afraid that his son is too smart."

"You are in a good time now. You are young and healthy. It would be even more amazing if you could give birth to a prince."

"Sisi, you and your second brother will help each other. As long as your second brother is capable and holds a stable position, you will have a place in the harem. Similarly, as long as you are important in the emperor's heart, your second brother will be able to stand firm in the former court."

"Go and please the Queen first. With her recommendation, it will be easy for you to gain favor."

Nian Sisi was a little frustrated: "Fu Jin has only said no more than ten words to my sister in these years. She is very noble and rarely pays attention to us princesses except Li."

Nian Gengyao thought for a moment and said, "Why not try to please Li? She has a son and a daughter, and she can also see the emperor."

Nian Sisi's expression was as ugly as if she had eaten shit. If she had a choice, she would not flatter Li's stinky feet.

Nian Gengyao sighed: "A little impatience can ruin a big plan. For the sake of long-term planning, Sisi, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Nian Sisi was thinking about how to get closer to the queen when she heard footsteps coming from the inner room. Everyone stood up and waited for Yihuan to take the main seat. They all bowed deeply: "Your servants and others pay their respects to the queen. May the queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

"Stand up!" Yihuan's eyes lit up when she saw the concubines who had made a new look. Not to mention those who were dressed up like Li and Nian, even the unknown Geng had fresh flowers pinned on her temples, looking delicate and lovely.

"My sisters, you have moved into the new courtyard. I wonder if you have gotten used to living here. If there is anything you want to add, please tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Don't hold back." Yihuan gestured for everyone to have tea and snacks.

Li, also known as Concubine Qi, said, "Your Majesty is so generous. The furniture in my place is a bit old and it makes me uncomfortable."

"It's not a big deal. You can go talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs yourself." It was just a change of furniture. Yihuan nodded in agreement.

Nian Sisi was canonized as a noble lady, and she said, "Empress, there is a stage in the palace where my sister Yupin and I live that has not been abandoned. I asked someone to repair it in the past few days. Why don't you come over and listen to the opera to kill time."

Yihuan took one look at Concubine Yu Geng's ugly face and knew that this was Nian's own decision: "It's only been a hundred days since the late emperor passed away, and the emperor is still a vegetarian. Let's wait a while, and after that, Xiao Ben Palace will invite the best troupe to sing for three days and three nights."

"I'm sorry for my words, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Nian's face turned pale, she really forgot about mourning. "It's okay, Wu Guiren, you stay with Maopin, don't disturb her meditation." Yihuan warned Wu, she was not a person who would keep quiet.

Concubine Mao was Song, the princess who was imprisoned by Yinzhen for murdering her child. As for the other princess who was sick, Niuhuru, she was directly reported dead and was not allowed to enter the palace or posthumously honored, as if this person had never existed.

After all, Yinzhen still felt pity for the woman who gave birth to his children. I just don't know whether Song herself wanted physical relief or to continue living in such agony.

Concubine Wu was dressed in emerald green, which made people feel happy. She stood up and agreed.

Yihuan said a few polite words, waved her hand and let everyone go.

Firstly, it was because her head was too heavy and she wanted to protect her hair. Secondly, Liuliu had been a little clingy lately and it was also because they hadn’t seen each other for a month, so she wanted to spend more time with her daughter.

As for the little wolf, it’s better not to mention it.

Yihuan had just changed her hair into a comfortable bun when she heard Yuling come to report, "Your Majesty, Noble Nian wants to see you."

Liuliu was practicing calligraphy in the study at this time. Yihuan thought about it and decided to meet her. She had to find out more about her.

Nian Sisi held a long box in her hand: "I pay my respects to the queen."

"Your Majesty, I was sorting out my things these past few days and found an authentic work of Yan Zhenqing that I brought from home. I heard that the princess has been practicing Yan style since she was young, so I thought of giving it to the princess for her enjoyment."

Yihuan opened it and took a look. She did not doubt the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting, but she had to ask for something when giving gifts: "It is indeed Mr. Yan's authentic work. Second Princess just wrote it for fun and did not learn the essence of it. This must be your favorite thing. You should take it back and treasure it well."

"It is a blessing for this painting to win the princess's favor." Nian Sisi was very determined in giving the gift. Yihuan asked someone to put it away. At most, she could reward her with something else later.

"Yupin is a good person. You can rest assured with her as the head of the family." Yihuan reminded her not to interfere in other people's affairs.

"Yes." Nian Sisi understood, and she agreed and continued, "Your Majesty, my embroidery skills are pretty good. How about adding a fan screen to your bedside?"

"There's no need for you to come here. The people in the embroidery room are rushing to do it. You should go back and have a good rest." Yihuan started to chase people away.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries." Nian Sisi understood that with Yihuan's personality, it would be almost impossible for her to ask for a private meeting again. So she did not beat around the bush and expressed her feelings directly.

"Noble Nian is overthinking. Although I have just taken the position of Queen, I am still capable of managing the harem." Yihuan continued, "You should do your job. Noble Nian is overstepping your authority."

"I dare not!" Seeing Yihuan drinking tea, Nian Sisi dared not delay any longer and could only walk away looking back every few steps.

She walked all the way back from Yiku Palace. When she passed Yongshou Palace, her eyes were uncertain. Finally, she let out a long sigh and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Take out the purple jade bracelet that my second brother gave me. I will need it tomorrow." Noble Lady Nian instructed Xiaodie.

Xiaodie looked at her master with some worry. She understood that her master was going to follow Li's path, but Li was a person who did not play by the rules. Xiaodie was full of worries about her master's future.
