Originally, when the newlyweds got off at the gate of the palace, Sheng Weiqiao didn't plan to let Rong Sleepy Crane hold her hand, and in the end, the wedding night had only passed, and she was inevitably a little shy.

But after Rong Sleeping Crane was thrown away once, he was unwilling to pull and pull with her, and he made trouble all the way in, and there were more people who quietly looked at them from the corner of their eyes.

Sheng Weiqiao had no choice but to simply let him shake his wrist, lest this person do more and more things that made her feel embarrassed.

At this time, when she came to the Gaomi royal couple, she saw that this person had not yet let go, so she hurriedly pinched him secretly and signaled him to let go.

didn't want to let the sleeping crane play with his heart, not only did he not let go, but he deliberately stretched out his finger and scratched her palm.

Sheng Weiqiao was suddenly furious, and swept over with a cold look...... Rong Sleeping Crane immediately coaxed, let go very obediently, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to greet: "Father, mother!" ”

"Good boy, are you here?" The Gaomi King and his wife were condescending, and they saw the movements between the young husband and wife clearly, and the King of Gaomi was also okay, he was thinking that he could not let the little son who suddenly ran back threaten the son, and the sleeping crane was eaten to death by the newlywed wife, which may not be a good thing for the King of Gaomi.

After all, Sheng Weiqiao's reputation has little to do with virtuous sincerity, with such a squeamish and willful wife, King Gaomi feels that Rong Sleeping Crane may be much easier to deal with because of this.

So if you see it, you don't see it, and said kindly, "Mi Xue, look at the appearance of these two children, don't they look like when we were young?" ”

Princess Gaomi, who was called to the word, settled down, and then tried to show a very reluctant smile: "Kang Zhao is much more beautiful than when I was young, and as for you, you are not as handsome as my crane!" When they were younger, they weren't afraid of being laughed at? ”

This princess knows that this little girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp!!

Just passed the door, and I haven't given tea to this princess, but in front of this princess, I threw my face at He'er, and I still have to turn my back?!

Princess Gaomi secretly hated in her heart, she was too lazy to talk to Sheng Weiqiao, and said bluntly, "It's not too early, let's let them salute!" After all, I still have to go to the palace, and if I delay the meeting, I may not have time to go to Xinshou Palace today. ”

Although the relationship between the Gaomi Palace and the Empress Dowager Meng is not very good, and the Empress Dowager Meng is not the main palace of the first emperor, since she is the queen mother, all the children of the first emperor, including King Gaomi, must also call the "queen mother" on the scene.

At this time, Rong Sleeping Crane, as the concubine of King Gaomi, naturally took the newlywed princess to Xinshou Palace to ask the "imperial grandmother" for a farewell after getting married.

After Princess Gaomi ordered, King Gaomi, who originally wanted to say a few words, dispelled his thoughts, and nodded slightly, so the next person went in and took the splendid futon out, and allowed the sleeping crane and Sheng Weiqiao to dress up a little, and stepped forward to give a big salute.

The newlyweds knelt down with King Gaomi and the princess in turn, and after King Gaomi took the tea, he slightly touched his lips, put down the tea bowl, and said kindly: "Good." ”

Princess Gaomi took a sip, and said with a stiff face: "You are all good children, and you will have to be good in the future." ”

Speaking of this meeting gift, Princess Gaomi also returned it, and King Gaomi's heart suddenly throbbed again: Everyone knows that Princess Mizhen County married in with gold and silver, and the dowry of Gaomi Mansion alone has reached a million.

In this case, can the newlyweds give a gift when they serve tea?

However, King Gaomi was already feeling the pain of being knocked out, and he felt that he was at a loss when he took a few copper plates out at this time, if it weren't for the fear that the princess would not stop with him, but also considering that the big head was out, no matter how stingy he was at this time, he couldn't save much, and he would become a laughing stock, so it was better to be generous, he really wanted to throw something casually and send away this daughter-in-law who didn't like either his son or daughter-in-law!

At this moment, he said softly: "This pair of coral gem bonsai is a pair, you can take it and enjoy it!" ”

The pair of bonsai that the next person carefully moved up, are made of jewelry and jade, a rich and noble, is a copper tire silver silk begonia fancy pot, the mouth edge is engraved with copper gilded banana leaves, and the pot foot is a bat longevity pattern. The main body of the bonsai is a peach tree with red coral branches, with jade as the leaves, and the leaves are covered with various colors of honey. Peach, there are red and yellow beeswax fruit, pink and blue tourmaline fruit, green jade fruit, white clams and special-shaped large pearl inlaid fruits, red, pink, yellow, blue, green, white and colorful.

The left and right sides of the peach tree are engraved with phoenix wings, and the basin seat is covered with coral rice beads, which can be described as exquisite and rare, and dazzling.

Another longevity, because it is a pair, so the flower pot and the decorative pattern are the same, but this pot is a double peach tree, there are two big bats in front and back spread their wings, holding up a cloisonné enamel group longevity character surrounded by chiseled gold clouds, and there are seven small copper-plated gilded bats between the three layers of peaches, flying up and down next to the peach [Note].

These two bonsai are put together, which is a good omen of "wealth and blessing".

Merely......

Sheng Weiqiao pursed his lips and secretly thought: "We are newlyweds here to serve tea, and this meeting ceremony should be something like that means to grow old...... Right? ”

For example, Princess Gaomi took out a pair of golden jade mandarin ducks playing lotus rings.

But she didn't have to worry about everything before, for this kind of human sophistication, although she had Xuan Yu Feng's temporary evil, she also knew nothing, and at this moment she was strange, and saw that Princess Gaomi straightened her body, as if she was about to speak, and she hurriedly put on a serious listening appearance, and she put aside the doubts in her heart.

"If you become a parent, you are an adult!" Princess Gaomi tried hard to tell herself to be kind and kind, at least in front of Rong Sleeping Crane, she couldn't show her dislike for her new daughter-in-law, but in the end she still said lukewarmly, "He'er will treat Kang Zhao well in the future, and Kang Zhao, you must also take good care of He'er." ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't hear the beating under her mother-in-law's seemingly fair words, and responded without thinking...... Seeing that she responded so quickly, Princess Gaomi didn't think she was well-behaved at all, but felt that it was because she didn't take what she said to heart at all, but just perfunctory herself, and suddenly there was a knot of anger.

But at this time, Sheng Weiqiao had already followed Rong Sleeping Crane to salute Rong Qingchu and his wife, because they were equals, they didn't need to make a big salute, they just needed to bow down and talk to Wanfu.

Rong Qingchu and his wife congratulate his younger brother and sister-in-law is a pair of gold box Fushou Shuangquan jewelry, this congratulatory gift was picked by Qi's family, and Rong Qingchu also objected at that time, saying that the jewelry can only be used by Sheng Weiqiao alone, but there is no part of Rong Sleeping Crane, I am afraid that Rong Sleeping Crane will think more.

But Qi pursed the corners of his lips and said to him: "You can listen to me with confidence!" Don't look at the third brother's infatuation with the county lord of Kangzhao, the mother concubine treats him very well, and it is not as good as promising to marry the county lord of Kangzhao! Let's not say that we use things that only the county lord of Kangzhao can use as a congratulatory gift, that is, when preparing the congratulatory gift, the county lord of Kangzhao was taken into account, and I didn't think about the third brother, do you believe it or not, the third brother will not have an opinion? ”

Although his wife swore an oath, Rong Qingchu was still a little worried at the moment, and only when he saw that Rong Sleeping Crane did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next is Yuan Liuguang and the lord of Qingfang, they are preparing a pair of inlaid camel coral silver deer, the same ornament, although not as good as the pair of bonsai given by King Gaomi, magnificent, jewelry, but also extraordinary, showing the importance of the Mizhen County Palace.

Because Rong Qingdrunk and Huihe County Lord did not appear...... It's not surprising that the county lord of Huihe didn't appear, this county lord came out of the cabinet in the second half of last year, and the cabinet was very low-key, and many people didn't know it.

So much so that when Sheng Weiqiao prepared a meeting gift for her husband's family before, she also prepared a copy for her.

After preparing it, I confirmed the number with Rong Sleeping Crane, only to be told that the county lord of Huihe had already left the cabinet, and her husband's family was not in Chang'an, so she would not attend their wedding, so there was no need to count her as a meeting gift made "by herself".

As for Rong Qing's drunkenness and not attending, Sheng Weiqiao has been guessing about the deep rejection of the second son of the Gaomi Palace, but he doesn't have a good impression of this person, so naturally he won't ask him about him.

Therefore, at this moment, the newlyweds have seen their elders and peers, so they are allowed to sit down, and the younger generations come up to pay their respects.

The younger generations lined up according to the elders and young, and the Jian'an Junjun, who had already taken a picture in the new house last night, started and came over one by one to kowtow.

I don't know if I saw the scene of the new aunt slapping Yuan Donglai, and like the Qi family, I was in awe of Sheng Weiqiao, and the attitude of Jian'an Junjun was even more respectful than last night, which was a little sincere.

Behind this eldest niece, according to her age, she is Yuan Kai, the son of the Marquis of Huaiyuan.

Because of Yuan Donglai's behavior, it was impossible for Sheng Weiqiao to say that he had nothing to do with Yuan Kai, so when he saw him come up, even if Yuan Kai was not holding a bowl of hot Sanxian Muxi soup in his hand at this time, Sheng Weiqiao also subconsciously raised his vigilance and stared at his movements with good eyes.

Yuan Kai was only warned by Yan's father, although he had a cold face at this time, he also saluted and shouted people in a proper manner, and after receiving the greeting gift, he returned to Yuan Liuguang without saying a word, although it was not enthusiastic, but it was not rude.

Seeing this, Rong Qingchu and his wife were secretly relieved, both of them didn't want to toss, they were most afraid that Yuan Xingxing would hurt his sister, and make a big fuss in public, so that everyone couldn't get off the stage: because last night's incident was really a bit of a clean official to break the family affairs, and even traced back to last year's heavy five banquets, even if it was not so far away, let's just say that last night, Yuan Donglai's intention to use hot soup to burn his aunt was not right, Sheng Weiqiao slapped the maid and intimidated his niece who was less than ten years old, and it was really a loss of elder dignity.

This kind of thing should be said to be handled fairly...... There is really only the fairness of a certain person or a few people, and it is basically impossible to convince both parties, but it is very likely that Rong Sleeping Crane's already small sense of belonging to Gaomi Mansion will be exhausted.

"Well, it's time for you to go to the palace." The Gaomi royal couple obviously didn't intend to mention the conflict between Yuan Donglai and Sheng Weiqiao last night at this moment, and seeing the youngest Rong Lingsui retreat after saluting, the princess said, "Although the queen mother is not your grandmother, but after all, she is the biological mother of the Son of Heaven. ”

Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao had no opinions, and after they both agreed, they also retired.

After they left, the princess stood up and ordered the family of the county lord of Qingfang: "You come with me!" ”

King Gaomi slowed down before getting up, hesitated, and finally followed.
