Lanling Chapter 011: Respect each other like guests, and recognize relatives with tea
promised to marry Xie Zhiyuan, she didn't plan to be a nominal husband and wife with Xie Zhiyuan, but the two have only known each other for three months, and dozens of fingers can be counted when they meet, although she is not disgusted with Xie Zhiyuan, and even has appreciation, but it is only that, there is no trace of love between men and women, and she can't be honest with him, fortunately, Xie Zhiyuan didn't stay here tonight, otherwise, she is afraid that she will have to refuse, at least, she is not ready now.
Hearing this, Su Xin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly nodded: "Then the slave maid serves the princess and rests!"
Xiao Yunke nodded: "Hmm!"
After Su Xin was busy waiting for Xiao Yunke to fall asleep, he also went to rest, but after Su Xin left, Xiao Yunke opened his eyes, looked at the red curtain, and was quietly in a daze.
She doesn't like the dark, so even if she sleeps, the house is as bright as day, and the dragon and phoenix candles lit tonight can't be extinguished, so the looming dragon and phoenix patterns and floral patterns on the curtains are very clear, she looks at it, and she is so distracted.
She couldn't sleep.
Although she is adaptable, on this wedding night that belongs to her, lying in her marriage room, she is not sleepy at all.
Although she has been married once, but she did sleep in such a festive wedding room for the first time tonight, covered with a wedding quilt embroidered with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, the last wedding night, because she killed Fu Zhongling, her wedding night, can be described as a thrilling chaos, she did not sleep all night, and a few days later, the imperial uncle issued an edict to welcome her back to the capital, and also abolished the marriage......
When she was young, she was like other women, she looked forward to her marriage, at that time, the person she had in her heart, that was all her expectations for the rest of her life, but once her dream was broken, her heart was full of obsession and came to naught, since then, her heart was like dead, and she could no longer withstand the slightest wave, and she had no expectations for the rest of her life.
I don't know if she chose to marry Xie Zhiyuan, whether it was right or wrong......
I just lay flat and thought about these questions, and then, my mind drifted away, and then I ......
Xiao Yunke didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next day, at the same hour as usual, Xiao Yunke woke up on time.
When she opened her eyes and saw that the surroundings were red, Xiao Yunke thought after a while, oh, she got married yesterday, this is her wedding room, and today is her first day after marriage......
She sat up with her body propped up, lifted the curtain and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the festive decorations around her, and concentrating for a long time before she slowly stood up, walked all the way out of the room, and whispered to the door: "Su Xin!"
Su Xin stayed outside the door early in the morning, waiting to freshen up Xiao Yunke, and heard her hurriedly push the door in.
Then, seven or eight maids rushed in with toiletries, and waited for Xiao Yunke to freshen up and change clothes in an orderly manner.
Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, the maid curled her hair, Xiao Yunke thought about it, and asked casually: "What about Guogong?"
Su Xin said with a smile: "Back to the princess's words, Guogong Mao got up at the end of the day, knowing that the princess didn't disturb the princess before she got up, and now she said that she was practicing in the morning in the martial arts field, and I heard the people around Guogong say that Guogong has the habit of morning exercise every day!" Xiao Yunke nodded and didn't speak again.
Xu heard that she was up, and Xie Zhiyuan soon appeared at the door.
Then, instead of coming in at once, he asked, "Princess, will the minister go in?"
Xiao Yunke frowned slightly, and then said, "Come in!"
Xie Zhiyuan walked in.
Because he was newly married, Xie Zhiyuan's clothes were a little more festive than before, a set of dark red brocade robes, tied with a purple and gold crown, and he looked noble, calm and outstanding.
Xie Zhiyuan walked over and waved his hands with a solemn and serious face: "See the princess!"
According to the rules, she is a princess to marry, although Xie Zhiyuan is now in a high position, but in the end she is still a subordinate, so even if it is a husband and wife, she still has to abide by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.
Xiao Yunke frowned, he didn't seem to like such politeness, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted, so he didn't say anything, but said: "Guogong doesn't have to be polite!"
Xie Zhiyuan withdrew his hand and stood up straight.
Xiao Yunke asked lightly: "Is the prince available for breakfast?"
"Never!"
Xiao Yunke nodded: "In that case, then eat with me!"
"Good!"
Soon, Xiao Yunke finished dressing up and ordered the meal.
It's just that after a few bites, a maid walked in at the door.
The two people who were eating silently suddenly stopped.
"See the princess, see the princess!"
"What?"
"Back to the princess, the old lady sent someone to ask the princess, and asked if the princess was free, so she could bring the daughter of the Xie family to come over to say goodbye!"
Hearing this, Xie Zhiyuan and Xiao Yunke both frowned.
Xie Zhiyuan's face was expressionless, so he couldn't see what he was thinking, only his brows were frowning.
And Xiao Yunke, after frowning after hearing this, seemed to be a little displeased, and said lightly to the maid: "You go back to the old lady, you don't need to come over, the Xiao family does not have the rule that the daughter marries and asks the mother-in-law to ask for peace, let them wait in the main hall for a while, and I will go over with Guogong to see her and the people of the Xie family after dinner!"
Listening to the conversation, Xie Zhiyuan looked at her with a somewhat surprised expression.
The maid immediately retreated.
After finishing the order, Xiao Yunke didn't speak again, didn't look at Xie Zhiyuan again, and continued to drink her porridge.
Xie Zhiyuan saw that she didn't speak, so he didn't say anything and continued to eat.
Although there was such an episode, Xiao Yunke still ate calmly and unhurriedly, and did not speed up at all, so after rinsing his mouth after eating and tossing, half an hour had passed.
Then, the husband and wife went to the hall of Wang Xie's mansion together.
When he arrived, the hall of the Xie family was already full of people, and the huge hall was still talking and laughing, but as soon as Xiao Yunke arrived, it quieted down.
Xiao Yunke and Xie Zhiyuan walked into the hall side by side, and the people inside got up and saluted: "See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
Xiao Yunke walked in front of Mrs. Zhao in a few steps, and helped Mrs. Zhao up, who had not finished the salute, with her own hands, and then looked at the people in the place and said lightly: "Let's all be flat!"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie!"
Xiao Yunke said lightly: "You don't have to be restrained, let's all sit down!"
After everyone looked at each other, they sat down as they said.
However, the first positions on both sides below are vacant, and they are reserved for Xiao Yunke and Xie Zhiyuan.
However, neither man sat down.
After Xie Zhiyuan saluted Mrs. Zhao, he stood aside, while Xiao Yunke also stood motionless, as if he didn't plan to sit down.
Old Taijun Zhao looked at Xiao Yunke and was about to speak: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a maid suddenly walked in at the door, holding a tray in her hand, and on the tray was a cup of tea.
When everyone saw this, their expressions suddenly changed.
The maid walked in slowly, stood in front of Xiao Yunke, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and said, "Princess, the tea is ready!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Yunke nodded, and then slowly walked to Zhao Lao Taijun, and under the surprised and stunned gaze of Zhao Lao Taijun and everyone, he lifted his dress and slowly knelt on the ground.
Then, he turned around calmly and brought out the tea in the tray handed over by the maid, and presented it to Old Taijun Zhao, and said in a cold and respectful voice: "Mother, please drink tea!"
Although Mrs. Zhao was surprised, but in the end she was also a princess from a royal family, and she had never seen any storms, so she quickly calmed down, nodded with a smile, said hello a few times, and then took the tea in Xiao Yunke's hand, took a sip calmly, and then put it on the table next to her, and then thought about it, took off a bracelet on her wrist and pulled Xiao Yunke's hand to put it on her.
Then, I looked at Xiao Yunke very fondly and said with a smile: "This is the bracelet that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Xie family, and it has always been passed on only to the housewife of the Xie family, and today I will pass it on to the princess, I hope that in the future, the princess and Yuan'er can be married and beautiful, and support each other!"
Xiao Yunke looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist with a rare texture and looked a little old, the surface of the bracelet was also carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, obviously a blood jade bracelet, and the jade bracelet was very smooth and warm, obviously a good thing that had been raised by popularity for many years.
Xiao Yunke didn't have much joy, but nodded with a smile: "Thank you, mother!"
Xiao Yunke's face was calm and joyless, but everyone present was shocked.
This bracelet is rare in the world, and the most important thing is that this is a family heirloom that the Xie family has inherited for hundreds of years, and it is almost a symbol of the Xie family's mother......
Therefore, those daughters-in-law who started first looked at it, and they felt very uncomfortable, but there was no way, now it was Xie Zhiyuan who was in charge, as Xie Zhiyuan's wife, even if Xiao Yunke was just the daughter of an ordinary family, she was also the head of the house in the future of the Xie family, not to mention, she was still a noble eldest princess, and this alone made them out of reach.
Mrs. Zhao nodded with great satisfaction, and then personally helped Xiao Yunke up: "Okay, get up quickly, kneel carefully and your knees hurt!"
Because he didn't expect Xiao Yunke to serve tea before, he didn't prepare a futon in advance, and Angcai Xiao Yunke knelt directly on the cold and hard ground.
Xiao Yunke stood up.
After that, it's time to recognize your relatives.
In the huge hall, there were dozens of people sitting and standing, men, women and children.
The Xie family has three sons and one daughter in the previous generation, Xie Zhiyuan's father is the eldest, and now his father is gone, there are two uncles and an aunt on the top, Xie Zhiyuan's generation, the three rooms add up to a dozen boys and more than ten daughters, and Xie Zhiyuan ranks ninth among the men, Zhao Laotaijun has four sons and two daughters, respectively, the eldest one, the third, the seventh and the ninth, Xie Zhiyuan is the youngest, Xie Zhiyuan's eldest brother died young, the third brother is frail, the seventh brother is a scholar with a full stomach, obsessed with studying academics, no, the burden of the Xie family falls on Xie Zhiyuan's headใ
Xie Zhiyuan's eldest sister is the former Empress Xie of Wei, after the death of Wei, the Zhao family became Bai Ding, Emperor Wei committed suicide, Xie became a widow, and returned to the Xie family with a pair of children, and has been living in the Xie family. Xiaomei is also married, she is a son of a family in the former Wei State, and has two daughters, and this time she specially came to participate in Xie Zhiyuan's wedding.
A whole bunch of other aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters......
Although it was Xiao Yunke who recognized her relatives, but in the end, her identity was there, so naturally she didn't have to give them a gift, but gave her a gift, however, some juniors she gave some small gifts, and after recognizing Xie Zhiyuan's relatives, it was finally Xie Zhiyuan's turn to meet Xie Zhiyuan's two children.
The eldest daughter Xie Yuyan, Xiao Yunke had seen it that day, but the youngest son Xie Shiting had never seen it, it was a six-year-old boy, a little like Xie Zhiyuan, looking a little restrained and timid, and when he looked at Xiao Yunke, he seemed to be a little afraid.
However, the sisters and brothers still knelt in front of Xiao Yunke to salute:
"Yuyan greets Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
"Ah Ting, please greet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
As he spoke, he bowed down and kowtowed.
Xiao Yunke looked at them with a faint smile and nodded, his attitude was not warm, but it was not cold, he only said lightly: "Get up!"
The two sisters and brothers got up: "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie!"
Xiao Yunke then took the two different boxes handed by Su Xin sideways and gave them to the sisters and brothers.
"It's a little gift for you, take it!"
The sisters and brothers took it together, and then said in unison: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie!"
Xiao Yunke frowned, then thought about it, and still smiled lightly: "Since I married your father, you can call my mother in the future, don't call the eldest princess anymore!"
"Yes, long...... Mother!"
After the tea ceremony ended, near noon, Xiao Yunke and Xie Zhiyuan entered the palace together to ask for thanks.
