imprinted you in my heart

Chapter 233

Bu Qianxue was different from Shi Min's casual interview. At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, he had to accept congratulations from the heads of the six bureaus in the palace, the officials, and the chiefs and deputy chiefs of the palaces in Anren Palace. , the rest of the first and second in charge of internal officials must meet all the requirements.

Accepting the congratulations of the high-ranking internal officials for the new empress is not only going through the motions according to the procedure, but also formally confirming the queen's noble status in the harem. It also means that from now on, all affairs in the harem will be in charge and decided by the queen.

Bu Qianxue, who took a short rest, had to change back to the court dress. The back crown that matched the court dress was similar to the one she wore yesterday when she wore the wedding dress, but the style was more solemn. It was not as festive as yesterday, but it was also a golden phoenix holding a pearl, and a green phoenix. , Exquisite.

For this big wedding, after three years of preparation, a total of three tiaras were made, which are respectively matched with the bib dress, Zhai dress and wedding dress, all of which are inlaid with diamonds, gold beads and jade stones, including 39 pieces of red, blue, black and yellow gemstones each. There are 59 pieces of purple gemstones, 9999 pieces of five-color precious pearls, and thousands of strands of gold and silver threads. Most of them came from Shi Yan's private treasury, and a small part came from the national treasury.

This is still a reduced version, and each crown weighs only about 3 catties, which is about a catty lighter than the crowns of Daozong's wedding. Even compared with the crowns of other queens, it is also a few taels lighter. It's too expensive, but the funds don't allow it, and Bu Qianxue doesn't want to be too extravagant and wasteful. After all, the crown and clothes will be buried with him in the end, and they won't be passed down.

Therefore, the two people agree on the number of crowns for formal occasions, as long as they are enough, unless they are too bad to be repaired, they will never do it lightly, after all, they are quite costly, manpower and material resources.

It's a pity that the two people's wedding clothes and the matching tiara and tiara are specially made for the big wedding, and the jewelry used is mainly red, which is very specific, and basically they will only be worn in these few days .

As for the headgear that goes with regular and casual clothes, it's not so formal, and there are no hard and fast rules, it all depends on Bu Qianxue's own preferences.

Bu Qianxue didn't know what other people thought when they saw these tiaras, but she thought of the money and manpower that was spent behind it. Every expense was enough for the family to eat and drink for a lifetime if it was taken from the folks, not counting precious raw materials.

heartache?Bu Qianxue, who was really poor, still has a heartache, but some money should be spent, and she still has to spend it, even if it hurts, she still has to grit her teeth!

And what she can do is to cherish every crown and try to achieve the goal that is not new. This is the best effort for the country and the family.

The autumn sun is lazy, warming the people, and a group of high-ranking officials came out from the Sixth Bureau and various palaces, and rushed to Anren Palace. They chatted while walking, as if they were going on an outing. easy.

It's not that these internal officials didn't take He Bai seriously, but that He Bai was more formal than practical this time. After all, everything in the palace and court was still in charge of the palace one month before the wedding.

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Bu Qianxue, dressed in court clothes and wearing a crown, sat in the main hall, with the Queen's Treasure on the left hand side, and the Queen's Book and the Queen's Private Seal on the right side. Only then did he signal to Lu Yan to announce that all the internal officials entered the palace.

Under Lu Yan's shouting, the internal officials who had been lined up outside the hall began to enter the hall in order. There are two masters in each of the Shangbei Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau, standing in a row from left to right.

Then there are the officials of the various divisions under the Sixth Bureau, all standing behind their respective heads, standing in two rows, and then the chief and deputy chiefs in charge of the palaces, standing in four rows, the empty main hall was originally empty. It seemed a little crowded for a moment.

This does not include those internal officials who are not top or second in command. If all the internal officials come, there will be far more than this number, and it will be more than double the current number.

The people who advanced into the hall slightly nodded and stood still without whispering, and the people who came in later also walked lightly. The whole process was orderly, and no one made any noise or looked around.

After all, they have all undergone formal training. Line up, walking posture, etc. are all basic items. What's more, these people have passed the internal test with their own efforts, and they are even more eager to walk in an orderly manner even without rehearsal.

The scope of the internal examination is not as wide as the imperial examination, and the number of recruits is not as large as the imperial examination, but the degree of rigor is not worse than the imperial examination, or even worse. The senior palace servants around Shi Min have to take the examination several times before taking the exam. You can see one or two in the middle, so those who can become internal officials are all the best.

Lu Yan, who was standing on Bu Qianxue's lower left, shouted loudly again after seeing everyone standing still: "Congratulations and salutes to Zhonggong, thanks!".

"Chutose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" All the internal officials in light blue men's suits and wingless Usha hats saluted.

"Goodbye!"

"Nakamiya Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Three thanks!"

"Nakamiya Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"After the ceremony, please show me to the palace." Lu Yan turned to Bu Qianxue and saluted.

Bu Qianxue raised her hand to signal Lu Yan to back down, then looked at the orderly seven rows of internal officials in front of her and said in a deep voice: "The ones who can stand in front of this palace today are all the best of the Hua Dynasty. Gong also thought that the internal examination was not as good as the imperial examination, and felt that it was a back door and a shortcut. After all, almost all the officials around His Majesty were internal officials, but after he was actually in charge of the harem, he realized that the internal examination was not as simple as I thought.

Before passing the internal examination, each of you has a ministry, that is, you have to study and prepare for the internal examination while doing your work.The conditions in the palace are indeed better than those outside, but the recruitment requirements are equally harsh. In the end, those who can enter are innocent and intelligent people, but there are very few who can pass the internal examination and become internal officials.

I am afraid that only those of you who have experienced it will understand the hardships of the internal examination.Although I can't empathize with you, I have changed my opinion and think that the internal examination is no worse than the imperial examination, and you are well-deserved leaders.

But your current identity and status are all based on a sound internal examination system, otherwise everything is nothing.Your Majesty's reform of the palace system, even if it is timely, is also an innovation. The effect is not insignificant or outstanding. The palace is willing to follow it. I hope you will remember the weight of the law, the clarity of the law, and the strictness of the law, and do not break the law with your own body! "

"(Wei) ministers, please remember the teachings of the Central Palace!" Everyone looked as usual, but their hearts were already turbulent. The internal examination is not as good as the imperial examination. However, they were really surprised that Zhonggong, who had passed the general examination and palace examination, would say such a thing.

Although the general officials would give them a little face when they saw them on weekdays, especially when they saw the chief executive Lu and others, they greeted them with smiles, but in fact, they are transparent and know that those officials may not know how to belittle them, these internal officials. , despised them.

Now that Zhonggong actually said such a thing, it gave them a shot of stimulant. While they were encouraged, they felt that Zhonggong's image in their hearts instantly became much taller and closer.

"In all matters in the palace, the only thing that matters is loyalty, hard work, and dedication. All the ministers must keep in mind, perform their duties, and do not slack off! Step down." Now the Empress Dowager is still in charge of the honor, and Bu Qianxue is hard to say There are too many of them, and it is not the first time that these people have worked with her, so what I said today is just to show her management principles again.

"(Wei) ministers, please bear in mind the teachings of the Central Palace! (Wei) ministers, please leave." Everyone saluted and left, and a road was split in the middle, Zhang Shang, who took three steps back, went first, and the order was the same as before.

After He Bai's internal officials left, Bu Qianxue immediately went to the dormitory to change into regular clothes, fixed her hair with hairpins, and then went to the study room, ready to see the clearance status of the paperwork reported by each bureau and the gifts reported by the Shangfu Bureau.

The gifts piled up on the steps yesterday were all registered by the Shangfu Bureau and put into the specially vacated temporary warehouse. Because there were too many gifts, Wen Yu had to transfer some people from the other five bureaus to help, and finally finished it before midnight. First storage.

All the gifts from the wedding belonged to Shi Min and Bu Qianxue, so Shi Min just entrusted this matter to her justifiably, and specially emphasized that all the gifts should be chosen by her first, so why not be "active".

In fact, Bu Qianxue is unwilling in her heart, because the empress dowager is currently in charge of honor, and she will officially start to take charge of the harem after the wedding is completely over, but the empress dowager can't stand it too quickly.

Wen Yu, who had to do chores for another month, readily had all the documents and matters packed up and sent to Anren Palace before noon, and happily became the hands-off shopkeeper again.

In fact, Wen Yu was not in charge of all the affairs in the Moon Palace when Bu Qianxue was not in the palace, after all, her heart was not on these matters, so Shi Min had to focus on two things.

Bu Qianxue picked up what she wanted to see, so she first read the report documents and registration booklet of the Shangfu Bureau, and knew how many gifts there were, and those gifts and who gave them to them. Well, not only did their banquet not lose money, but they also made a lot of money.

The gifts from the dependent countries alone are quite rich, and many other small countries have also come. Although the gifts are not rich, they are of high value. Besides, most of them are given by the kings and noble officials in the capital. According to the estimates of the Shangfu Bureau, it will take nearly [-] days to sort out these gifts, and then they can enter their respective private treasuries according to their requirements.

And for some gifts that do not want to be put into their own private treasury, they are sent to each treasury of the Sixth Bureau for sealing according to the characteristics and functions of the gift.Wait until it is rewarded to the ministers or when it is useful, then take it out of the treasury.

Besides that, there was another list, all the ministers who violated Shi Min's orders and gave heavy gifts, including civil servants and generals, there was even one she knew - Su Han.

I heard that this guy did a good job after being transferred to another place, so why did he make such a low-level mistake again!Based on what she knew about Shi Min, I'm afraid that giving too many gifts would not only not please her, but would even scold her!

There are rules and regulations for the handling of gifts, she just needs to understand the process, know the details, and then review and approve them in due course. On the contrary, the rest of the things are related to the wedding, and there are a lot of things waiting to be dealt with. ?
