Chapter 602: Back to the door
The third day of the wedding is the day when Qin Hanzhen returns to the door.
However, Qin Hanzhen got up early in the morning, and he couldn't go back to his mother's house a few steps away, but instead had to go to the palace with Zhao Mo to wear formal Zhai clothes and leather clothes respectively, enter the palace with full makeup to pay homage to the emperor, and accompany the emperor to dinner. This is called the Giving Ceremony.
After having breakfast with the emperor, Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen withdrew from the Qianqing Palace under the praise of the palace people, and then transferred to the East Palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bow four times.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wore a leather robe and sat down to receive the salute. The crown princess Tang also changed into Zhai clothes today, stood beside His Royal Highness the Prince, and received two bows from Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen, and answered two more bows.
Qin Hanzhen hadn't seen the crown princess Tang for a long time, and the latter said that she had been ill for a long time, although after Chu Liangyuan entered the palace, there were no more rumors of her illness, but there were no rumors of "cure". Qin Hanzhen could only faintly hear some movements of the crown princess from his grandfather Qin Bai, who often entered the palace, and guessed that she had probably resumed her limited external activities, in addition to meeting Mrs. Chu Zhengfang on a daily basis, she would occasionally see her mother, but she did not see other foreign wives. As for the matter of greeting the Queen Mother, although the crown princess did not do as diligent as before, she finally resumed the frequency of greeting every three or five days.
From this point of view, the activities of the crown princess in the palace can be regarded as returning to normal, so it is natural to accept the salutes of Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen. Now, even if no one mentions the suggestion of letting Zhao Mo enter the East Palace, he is still a junior of the clan who has a close relationship with the royal family, and his new wife is the granddaughter of the prince's uncle. If she didn't show up on such an occasion, it would be too bad for the clan and the Qin family to lose face.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously in a good mood for the Crown Princess to attend such an occasion. It can be seen from the tone of his voice, the smile on his face, and the occasional interaction with the crown princess Tang. It's just that the attitude of the crown princess Tang is not so enthusiastic, and it always feels faint and has some affection. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen the young couple, and she also sat on the side, saying two clichΓ©s according to the script, and then said nothing more. However, when interacting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chu Liangyuan's name was mentioned twice in a row.
Once it was Zhao Mo who said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a good complexion, and it must be a relationship that the Crown Princess took good care of. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at his wife with a smile, obviously wanting to praise her, but the Crown Princess Tang mentioned Chu Yuniang's concubine room a little abruptly: "This is all because Chu Liangyuan has often stewed soup for His Royal Highness recently, and His Royal Highness wants to reward Chu Liangyuan." Even Qin Hanzhen could see that at that moment, the smile on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face froze.
Another time, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who told Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen that they would blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible and have children, saying that they were still waiting to hold their nephews. The crown princess interjected on the side: "The heir is a major matter, and it must not be neglected. Since His Royal Highness persuaded Guanglu to give birth to a noble son early, why didn't he pay more attention to it? Although Chen Liangyuan is pregnant, he still doesn't know about men and women, but His Highness still pampers Chu Liangyuan as soon as possible. β
This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have a green face.
Qin Hanzhen had a smile on his face, and he bowed his head to Zhao Mo a little embarrassed and didn't speak. She guessed that it was estimated that Zhao Mo was too familiar with the East Palace couple, and the crown princess Tang didn't have too many concerns when she spoke in front of him, so she was also blunt in front of her, Zhao Mo's wife. But is this good? Crown Princess Niangniang, you are the main wife, Chu Yuniang is just a concubine, whose wife is so eager to urge her husband to spoil the concubine? Even if it is for the sake of the heir, Chen Liangyuan still has one in her belly, even if you don't know men and women, there is half a chance that it will be a boy, do you need to be so anxious?
Qin Hanzhen secretly looked at Zhao Mo, Zhao Mo was obviously embarrassed, and he seemed to have a heart and turned his head to look at her. At that moment, Qin Hanzhen seemed to understand what he meant. So, she saw that Zhao Mo was looking for an excuse to quit, and she also bowed and quit very cooperatively.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not keep them. He and Zhao Mo don't need to be polite too much, it's the same to see you another day, it's more important to communicate with his wife first now.
Zhao Mo and Qin Hanzhen withdrew from the East Palace, left the imperial city, and got into the carriage before they dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Hanzhen took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and whispered: "Is the crown princess crazy? Who does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to favor, when will he be favored, she has her own opinions, should she be so eager to urge? The summer has only passed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be busy with government affairs every day, so doesn't she think about His Royal Highness's body? Chen Liangyuan is already pregnant, what is she anxious about?"
Zhao Mo said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong. When I entered the palace a few days ago, although I heard that the crown princess had privately persuaded Her Royal Highness to get closer to Chu Liangyuan, she didn't urge it to be so explicit, and she didn't restrain herself in front of us juniors, she really didn't look like her usual person, and I don't know what happened in the past few days. β
He was a little unhappy in his heart. The crown princess Tang took care of him in the past, so he has always respected the crown princess, even when she is very good, his attitude is mainly troubled, and he does not complain too much. Because he understood her thoughts, and he also knew that she was affected by the slanderous rumors of Chu Zhengfang and his wife, and behind the matter, there was even the careerist of the prince of Shu who was making trouble.
But today's crown princess Tang has really gone too far, and she has clearly not saved face for His Royal Highness the crown prince in front of outsiders. Even if the person who came to her today was not a foreign minister, but a junior of the close branch clan who could be called his own son and nephew, such words and deeds were too much. What the hell is the crown princess crazy about?!
When Qin Hanzhen saw Zhao Mo's expression, he knew that he was in a bad mood. She tugged at his sleeve and said in a slower tone: "Forget it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows it." Anyway, the crown princess rarely sees outsiders now, even if she makes some nonsense, that is, her family knows about it, and she won't make jokes outside. Don't be angry, we will have leisure another day, and then enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother, the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, just as our filial piety as juniors, but also to coax a few elders to be happy. β
Zhao Mo grabbed her hand and smiled: "I'm not angry, I just feel ...... I've been busy with the wedding these days, and I seem to have neglected the affairs of the palace, and I feel guilty. β
Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "Isn't this a matter of course? Could it be that we are married, you still have to worry about the affairs in the palace, can't you accompany me wholeheartedly?"
Zhao Mo smiled and took her hand, kissed her, hugged her and said, "I said it wrong, we are newly married, of course we have to accompany you wholeheartedly." As you said yesterday, in a two-person world, you should take care of the outside affairs. β
Qin Hanzhen snorted lightly: "That's it, just living in a two-person world, it's quite boring to face you, so when I'm busy, you still care about the world outside." The outside is stable, the palace is peaceful, and we can live a carefree and peaceful life. β
Zhao Mo smiled and kissed her hand again.
After the two left the palace, the carriage went directly to the Yongjiahou Mansion. On the side of the palace of Suning County, they had already sent the gifts for returning to the door in advance, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo arrived later, entered the gate, got off in the front yard, and Qin Ping greeted him.
Qin Ping saw that his daughter's face was ruddy, and when he looked at Zhao Mo, his eyebrows and eyes were shy, obviously he had a very sweet life after marriage. He was a little stunned in his heart, sighed and sighed, and when he faced Zhao Mo, although his expression was a little stiff, his attitude had eased a lot, and his tone of voice was gentle. Zhao Mo was a little flattered, but more of a surprise.
Qin Hanzhen was a few steps behind, and Qin Ping first welcomed his son-in-law Zhao Mo into the main hall of the front yard, where Cai Shengnan, Qin An and Xiao Feng were already waiting. Zhao Mo bowed four times to Qin Ping and his wife, and Qin Ping and his wife stood opposite him, received two bows head-on, and replied twice. Next, it was Qin An and Xiao Feng's husband and wife who bowed to Zhao Mo four times.
Then, Qin Hanzhen entered the house and bowed four times to his father and stepmother. Qin Ping and Cai Shengnan sat down and accepted the salute. Qin Hanzhen saluted his uncle and aunt again.
After the ceremony, Qin Ping was still entangled, not knowing what to say to his daughter, Cai Shengnan had already smiled first: "Come to the main courtyard, Master Hou and Mrs. have been waiting for you for a long time." Madame also ordered early to cook your favorite dishes for the prince of the county. β
Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Grandmother, is this eccentric? Why don't you ask the kitchen to cook my favorite dishes?"
Zhao Mo said with a smile: "I love to eat, and the princess also loves to eat, what's the difference?"
Everyone laughed, and Qin Ping's expression softened a lot: "Come in." The two elders are in a hurry. β
Zhao Mo generously took Qin Hanzhen's hand, pulled her into the main courtyard with the elders, and bowed to Qin Bai and Niu. Qin Bai and the Niu clan had really been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them, they couldn't help but smile on their faces. After the salute, Qin Bai spoke: "Get up quickly, live a good life in the future, and don't mess around." Niu even grabbed Zhao Mo with one hand, and Qin Hanzhen with the other, and was about to pull them to sit down beside him: "Tell me quickly, how have you been doing these two days?" I have been thinking about it in my heart, and I don't know if you two young people will live, whether you will quarrel when you live together, and you can't feel at ease when you eat." Now that I see that you two look good, I can be considered relieved, but I have to listen to you in detail to really settle down. β
Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo live together, but they are actually quite used to it. Although it was different from the situation when they lived together when they were children, they both knew each other so well, they knew each other well, and they knew all kinds of living habits. Now they are newly married, it is the stage of sweetness as honey, every day you and I are too late, I can't wait to be more tired together, less go out and leave home to complete all kinds of red tape. Niu's worry came a little too early.
Zhao Mo said a lot of good things sweetly to coax the Niu family, and Qin Hanzhen also comforted the hearts of the elders. The Qin family has three rooms, and they are finally relieved. But Qin Bai still didn't forget to remind Qin Hanzhen: "If something happens, our house is here, and it's convenient for you to come over, just come back and talk to your family, don't mess around with Guanglu at every turn." β
Qin Hanzhen couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandfather, I won't mess around!" She glanced at Zhao Mo, "But don't worry, if he bullies me, I will definitely come back and ask you to make the decision for me!"
Zhao Mo looked like "I'm afraid": "Where do I dare?"
The crowd laughed again. After a while, Qin Hanzhu and Brother Zhuang also came to meet their married sister and brother-in-law under the leadership of the nurse. The room is getting more and more lively.
Seeing this, Niu was overjoyed, and said, "I have been looking forward to such a day for a long time. Now that I see that the third girl is in harmony with Brother Mo, Brother An's children are both complete, and Brother Ping's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, I have no regrets in my life!"
Qin Hanzhen was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Cai Shengnan in surprise: "Mother is pregnant?!"
