Chapter 826 The Second Nangong Xuanyu
Before Shen Zhinian could say anything, Handan and Fuqiu looked at him with their eyes starting to sparkle!
"This is so gorgeous! So beautiful!!!"
Handan sighed, "I thought the court dress that Your Majesty wore at the ceremony of conferring the title of Consort Xian last time was gorgeous enough. Compared to this set, it's nothing compared to the big one!"
Hu Zhongcai smiled and said, "Of course."
"The court dresses of the virtuous concubine and the imperial concubine are very different. In addition, the imperial concubine Chen is the only imperial concubine with a title in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so her court dress should be more gorgeous."
Even Nanny Xiao, who had seen many big scenes in the palace, could not hide the amazement in her eyes at this moment!
The hierarchy in the harem has always been strict. The court dress of an ordinary concubine is far inferior to that of an imperial concubine in terms of style and shape.
But the court dress of Consort Chen was almost the same as that of the Imperial Consort! However, there were not as many golden phoenixes on the crown as the Imperial Consort's.
She was the nanny who governed the Empress before she entered the palace. At that time, she never thought that the Empress could go from being a small concubine to this point!
Of course, Nanny Xiao didn't just look at them, she also took Handan and Fuqiu to examine these things carefully.
Although Hu Zhongcai is the Empress's man, there cannot be any problem with the court robes and crown he sent over, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
When the court dress is unfolded, the colors it presents under the sunlight are even more gorgeous and exquisite!
Shen Zhinian looked at it, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.
She loves fancy clothes!
I prefer an identity that symbolizes power and status!
Concubine Chen's court dress was already so beautiful, Shen Zhinian couldn't believe how luxurious the Queen's phoenix robe would be.
But she believed that one day it would belong to her!
After checking and confirming that there were no problems with the court robes and crown, Fuqiu personally took people to take them to the warehouse.
Shen Zhinian sat back in the chair, raised his eyes to look at Hu Zhongcai, and asked calmly: "The court robes and crown have been made. When will my enthronement ceremony be held?"
Hu Zhongcai said respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything for the enthronement ceremony has been prepared. According to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the tenth day of next month is a good day."
There's still about half a month left.
Although His Majesty had already issued an edict to confer the title of Imperial Consort Chen, it was not legitimate without the ceremony of conferring the title.
Because the brand new court robes and crowns are extremely complicated to make and cannot be completed in a short period of time, the enthronement ceremony has been delayed until now.
Hearing this, Nanny Lin and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zhinian nodded slightly to show that he understood, and asked someone to reward Hu Zhongcai and the young eunuchs who followed him.
After receiving the generous reward, everyone was delighted and said many auspicious words before leaving.
Handan smiled and said, "That's great, Your Majesty! The court robes have been made, and the date for your enthronement ceremony has been set."
"You don't know that I have been very nervous during this period, afraid that something might go wrong..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she slapped her mouth twice: "Pah!"
"Everything related to the Empress will go smoothly!"
Shen Zhinian looked at Handan and said, "Your worries are not without reason."
"There are countless people in the harem and the court who don't want me to be the Imperial Concubine Chen. The enthronement ceremony is their last chance to make a move. There is no guarantee that someone won't take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."
"Fuqiu, you must assign people to guard the storehouse. There must not be any problems with the court robes and crowns!"
Fuqiu bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Madam. I promise with my life that nothing will go wrong!"
……
In a dark secret room.
In front of the large bronze mirror stood a tall, slender man with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes.
Looking at this appearance, who else could it be but Nangong Xuanyu?
A woman knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
The man admired his appearance in the bronze mirror and listened to the woman's words. He felt happier than ever before. He raised his head and laughed: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
The woman seemed to be very afraid of him, and bowed her head respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The man looked at her with a bit of fanaticism: "Your ability really did not disappoint me!"
"After continuous attempts over this period of time, you have finally managed to disguise me to look exactly like my brother! The effect is so real that it is indistinguishable from the real thing!"
"Li Cairong, how do you think I should reward you?"
Li Cairong's face was full of flattery: "Being able to serve His Majesty the Prince of Jin is a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes. How dare I ask for a reward from His Majesty the Prince of Jin?"
"When the prince ascends the throne, I will have the honor of following him. Isn't this honor of bringing glory to our family better than any reward?"
King Jin was very satisfied with Li Cairong's answer: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard for me, I will never treat you unfairly after the matter is accomplished!"
"My slave understands!"
Prince Jin didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes suddenly became dark and his tone was full of danger: "Li Cairong, Li Cairong, you are so capable. Since you can disguise me as my brother, can you also disguise others as him?"
Li Cairong heard the murderous intent in Prince Jin's words.
After all, how could he allow other people who were exactly like the emperor to appear in this world?
Li Cairong hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince Jin, what you are worried about will never happen!"
"I have said before that disguise has its own prerequisites. No matter how skilled I am, I cannot disguise myself as anyone I want."
"The two people's faces and body shapes must be similar to increase the success rate. Otherwise, even if the disguise is done, people close to them will be able to see the flaws."
"In the whole world, you and His Majesty are the only brothers. There will be no one in the world who is more like him than you."
The hidden meaning is that Prince Jin is the only person in the world who can pretend to be an emperor!
The King of Jin finally felt relieved, and the murderous intent in his eyes faded a lot. He asked the question that concerned him the most: "How long can a disguise last?"
Li Cairong lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, at most... at most it can only last half an hour..."
"That's because your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to His Majesty's. If it were someone else, not only would it look fake, it wouldn't even last for two quarters of an hour..."
Prince Jin's mood did not improve because of this.
Half an hour is too short.
It's totally not enough for him to succeed.
King Jin asked in a deep voice: "Is there any other way to extend the time?!"
Li Cairong was afraid that she was not useful enough and the King of Jin would kill her, so she lowered her head even lower: "I... I can't do it for the time being, and make the disguise time longer..."
"But please rest assured, Your Highness Prince Jin, I will study hard and will definitely find materials that can extend the time!"
