Chapter 996: Fooling Yourself (1)
On the tenth day of October, Xiao Qi, the king of Anping, got married.
This was the first happy event after the royal family removed filial piety.
King Anping is the younger brother of the new emperor and married Yu Yushi's daughter as a princess. This family affair, according to the rules of the palace, was very lively.
Neither the Empress Dowager Min nor the Empress Dowager showed up.
The prince of Wei, the prince of Han, personally accompanied the king of Anping to Yu's house to greet his relatives, and the prince of Wei, the prince of Han, sat in the palace of Anping together.
Gu Jinli and King Anping got married one after another, and there are good deeds, so they can't help but compare these two family affairs.
King Anping does not have a sacred heart, and everyone knows it. However, the Son of Heaven did not treat King Anping harshly.
The Anping Mansion is close to the Wei Palace, and it is not far from the Han Palace. The palace was built according to the regulations, and there was nothing shabby. This family affair is also quite decent.
Even the most picky person can't say that the emperor is not.
……
The next day, King Anping led Princess Anping into Cining Palace for tea.
Empress Dowager Min sat on the top, Xiao Xu and Gu Wanning each sat beside Empress Dowager Min, and Concubine Li led Princess Danyang to stand aside. Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin are two brothers, both standing behind the Empress Dowager Min. The three sisters and brothers of Gillian stood beside Gu Wanning.
Princess Hengyang also deliberately entered the palace today, and next to her was the concubine Li Yiming. The nurse carefully held the child under the age of one and stood beside Princess Hengyang.
Today is also a family gathering.
"The son has seen the queen mother. King Anping bowed, there was not much expression on his handsome face, and he didn't see the joy of the newlywed, and he was a little untimely gloomy.
Of course, King Anping was very dissatisfied with this family business.
What he likes is the daughter of the general who holds the military power, or the lady of a famous family. After getting married, he can have a powerful Yue family. It is by no means a ruthless Yu family who turns his face and is declining.
Unfortunately, he simply had no choice. Gu Wanning made a phoenix decree and selected Yu's daughter as the princess for him. He was unwilling, but helpless.
This unwillingness also made him quite cold to his new wife. There is no newlywed lingering tenderness, and it is not even hidden in front of everyone.
Princess Yu of Anping is a petite and delicate woman, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she is vaguely similar to Concubine Yu back then. But it is not as coquettish as the side concubine, and it looks a little bland.
"Daughter-in-law Yu, I have seen the queen mother, and I invite the queen mother to tea. Princess Anping looked nervous and restrained, and when she knelt down and picked up the teacup, her hand trembled slightly, the teacup was unstable, and the warm tea overflowed some.
What a shame!
King Anping glared at Princess Anping dissatisfied.
Princess Anping was already nervous and scared, but she was glared at by King Anping's cold gaze, and her heart was even more panicked. One of the hands was unstable, and the teacup slipped out of the hand.
Bang and fall to the ground!
Most of the tea splashed on Princess Anping's body, instantly wetting the delicate Luo skirt.
Princess Anping subconsciously screamed, and when she realized that she had lost her honor in front of the palace, her face turned white, and she glanced at King Anping with a panicked expression.
King Anping's eyes were fierce as if he was about to eat people, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't you kowtow to the queen mother and ask for guilt!"
Princess Anping's eyes were full of tears, both frightened and ashamed, and she looked quite pitiful. While kowtowing, he cried: "My daughter-in-law is unstable in her hands and has lost her honor in front of the queen mother." Please forgive the Queen Mother!"
Of course, Empress Dowager Min has no good impression of Princess Anping.
She has been fighting with Concubine Yu for many years, and she doesn't know how aggrieved she is. Concubine Yu died, and this breath could be regarded as expressing her chest. At this time, seeing Princess Anping, who had a similar face to Concubine Yu, the old grievances hidden deep in her heart quietly surfaced in her heart.
She had already planned that when Princess Anping was serving tea, she would have to make things difficult. Unexpectedly, before she could make a move, Princess Anping was already embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Min was in a good mood and said lightly: "There are no outsiders here, so don't be alarmed if you lose your manners." Let's go down and change your clothes and come back to serve tea!"
……
Princess Anping retreated with red eyes.
King Anping also retreated with a gloomy face.
Princess Danyang pursed the corners of her mouth, stepped forward, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I'll accompany the second sister-in-law." ”
Empress Dowager Min's eyes were slightly cold, and she nodded in agreement.
A hint of annoyance welled up in Concubine Li's heart.
She had specially told Princess Danyang before that she must be honest today and not cause trouble. Princess Danyang promised well, and as soon as she turned her face, she made a decision to accompany Princess Anping...... In the end, they are brothers and sisters, and they are estranged on weekdays, and when it comes to critical times, they always think about their brothers.
separated by a layer of belly, in the end it is not as good as the intimate and obedient of his own child. It's a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised!
Concubine Li was angry in her heart, and squeezed out a casual smile on her face to accompany the Empress Dowager Min to gossip. secretly hoped that Empress Dowager Min would be soft-hearted and not settle this account on herself.
Princess Hengyang felt sorry for Concubine Li Fang, and was busy cheering up to flatter and please Empress Dowager Min together.
Gu Wanning took in everyone's expressions, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Sure enough, it's a good show!
Xiao Xu turned his head slightly, looked at Gu Wanning, and a meaningful smile also flashed in his eyes.
……
"Useless idiot!"
The anger that King Anping forcibly suppressed erupted when no one was there in private, his face was blue, and his eyes were full of anger: "Won't you even be able to serve tea?
Poor Princess Anping was scolded so white that tears rippled in her face.
Yu's family is not as good as before, although she is a concubine, she has not received much attention at home. These palace etiquettes were practiced only after receiving the decree of the phoenix for marriage. It's not skilled, but I'm very nervous today, but I didn't expect to make a fool of myself in public......
Princess Anping's crying did not win the pity of her newlywed husband.
King Anping glared angrily, gritted his teeth and whispered: "If there is any more mistake, I can't spare you!"
Princess Anping's whole body trembled, and tears rained down.
At this moment, Princess Danyang's voice sounded outside the door: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, it's me." ”
King Anping snorted coldly and went to open the door.
Princess Danyang frowned, quickly glanced at Princess Anping, who was crying, and said softly: "Second sister-in-law, the queen mother, brother and sister-in-law are waiting for you to serve tea, don't cry first, go and change into clean clothes!"
Princess Anping choked up, wiped her tears, and went to the inner room to change her clothes.
King Anping's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Princess Danyang: "What are you doing here?" Go back quickly, you don't have to worry about it here." ”
Princess Danyang said flatly: "You are my brother-in-law, can I ignore your affairs if I don't want to take care of it?"
King Anping pulled the corners of his mouth sneeringly: "You are still too busy to take care of yourself, but you are in the mood to ask me about my idle affairs." It's a pity I can't stand to call the shots for you. Gu Jinli is already married, you have taken advantage of the morning to rest all your thoughts!"
Princess Danyang: "......"
