Article 233 Defeat is more than a day
Early the next morning, because of the light rain, the seal and documents of Mrs. Shizi, the husband and wife had to enter the palace together to thank them.
Xue Shizi watched Yingxue and Xiaohong help Xiaoyu turn out from behind the screen, and couldn't help but secretly admire: "Although I look a little childish on weekdays, sometimes I don't look at it all of a sudden, and I still make such a charming appearance." At this time, even the princesses of the saint were not as dignified as her. ”
Xiaohong and Yingxue stood aside to help Xiaoyu comb her hair, Xiaoyu groaned and ordered: "Comb a lily bun, I remember the first few times I saw Niangniang, she was combed in a peony bun." Xiaohong nodded and said: "The girl is young, and she is going to see her mother today, and it is not good to bring Feng Hai, so it is better to make some fuss in her hair." Xiaoyu nodded.
Xiaohong put a few locks of gold thread in her hair and combed it into a gold silk lily bun, which looked chic and solemn. Ying Xue carefully curled a circle of pearl hairpins to fix her hair, and Xue Shizi saw that he was busy and handed over the Ruyi Cirrus Red Gold Lock: "Put this on again." ”
Xiaoyu glanced at it, and couldn't help crying and said, "You got such a big gold lock for me to carry, how heavy it is." ”
Xiaohong couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing secretly: "The prince is not frightened by you, and he locked you to save you from running around." ”
Xue Shizi patted his waist and pretended to laugh and said, "It's okay, the husband has the key with him at any time." ”
Yingxue hung the lock on her neck, Xiaohong lowered her head and straightened out the golden pomegranate red gown on Xiaoyu's body, and straightened the flowered garnet red skirt of the hundred flowers, and then put the Xia drape embroidered with gold clouds and peacock patterns on her shoulders. Xiaoyu's shoulders sank, and the whole person collapsed. Xue Shizi complained on the side: "What does it look like to collapse your shoulders and shrink your neck, for a husband of your age, he is full of inexhaustible strength." ”
Xiaoyu didn't even bother to tilt her head. Squinting at Xue Shizi in the mirror, he said, "I was reprimanded by the saint yesterday, right?!" ”
Xue Shizi's face turned red and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Xiao Yu was about to laugh at him, Zi Ling put a pearl jade crown with three young feathers on her head, Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment, and secretly thought: "Don't talk about going up the tree like this, you have to take a step to breathe, and you can't lift your head." Xiaohong tied a light golden silk around her waist again. A Pisces jade pendant fell.
The two of them first went to the main house to say goodbye to the husband and wife, and then got into the carriage and left the house and drove to the palace. Entered the palace gate. After walking for a long time, he arrived at Niangniang's Lizheng Palace, but Wen Shan was waiting at the door, Xiaoyu looked at his face, evened out his breath and smiled: "Is this always okay?" Look good. Did your eldest brother and nephew find it? ”
Wen Shan led the couple into the Lizheng Palace. With a smile on his face, he replied: "Mrs. To's blessing, I told you not long last time, and it was a coincidence, a merchant surnamed Xu said that there was a neighbor who was originally from my hometown, and he was hiding from the war in his hometown a few years ago. I begged someone to find him, but he knew the whereabouts of many of our fellow villagers, and it took me an unknown amount of trouble. No, my nephew took my sister-in-law into Beijing a few days ago. Alas. It's been more than 20 years, and I can be reunited with my family in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. ”
Xiaoyu sighed: "Not really." Although our Fengxiang is guarded by King Xing, my hometown Zhaowang Village is still badly corrupted. As he spoke, he held the pearl jade crown on his head and nodded cautiously.
Wen Shan looked at her trembling appearance and couldn't help but smile and said: "Originally, the saint was going to come over to see Mrs. today, but I didn't think about it, so it was only a quarter of an hour, and there was news from the southwest." Wen Shan said and looked at Xue Shizi and said in a low voice: "I heard that King Pingnan was trapped by King Annan's people, and it seems that many people have died. ”
Xue Shizi couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "King Annan doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and there are only a few generals under him, how can he be so powerful?" ”
Wen Shan shook his head: "The little ones don't understand the things in this." The Holy Lord instructed that after the prince of the meeting gave the mother to say goodbye, he immediately went to the side of the temple to discuss the matter. ”
Xue Shizi nodded, and thought secretly: "In this way, the saint is only afraid that he will send someone to help, and he doesn't know which one to send?" If you don't let me lead the troops, there is a chance that I will be able to do so. Nine is to ask me to raise military supplies. ”
In the Lizheng Palace, Niangniang sat in the middle, and sure enough, as Xiaoyu expected, she combed the peony Ruyi bun, and wore a bright yellow Luo embroidered golden dragon peony placket square collar jacket, with a golden rose buckle on it, presumably because Xiaoyu came to ask for peace for the first time today, although Niangniang did not wear a court dress today, it was also a few more formal than in the past, and she wore a phoenix with nine phoenixes on her head, and the tassels on both sides hung down to her shoulders.
Xiaoyu and Xue Shizi saluted, and when they saw that Concubine Han and Princess An were also there, they knelt down and saluted them.
After greeting Xue Shizi, he hurriedly said goodbye and went to the sage.
Niangniang looked at Xiaoyu for a moment, and asked very kindly: "It's the first time to wear such heavy clothes, don't you feel comfortable?" ”
Xiaoyu smiled: "It's still Niangniang, you are compassionate." That's it, just now, the prince is not heavy enough, and I don't know where to find a golden lock for me to carry. Saying that, he glanced at Niangniang and Han Guifei, and saw that Han Guifei had combed her high bun, wore a purple flower square collar jacket, and only had a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin on one side of her hair, although it was quite a lot, it was two tails less than Niangniang.
Han Guifei smiled: "I'm afraid it's something left by his mother." ”
Xiaoyu knew some old things, and knew that when the saint was still the prince, he told Fang Shi that he had the ritual of master and apprentice, and Fang Shi also intended to marry his daughter to him. I didn't want the first emperor to suffer a lot of defeats in the north back then, so in order to win over the people of the Lang family, he named Queen Lang for the saint. Listening to the meaning of those old concubines, Xue Shizi's cousin Fang Yue had a bit of Xue's mother's demeanor.
Xiaoyu touched the golden lock and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the first mother-in-law was a female talent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't like gold and silver, but a country girl like me loves such things." ”
Queen Lang smiled: "You don't know this, I look at this lock, I'm afraid it's the long-lived lock that Fang Qiniang gave to Xue Shizi back then." Alas, I must have rejoiced and cherished Lin'er in my heart. ”
Xiaoyu saw that she didn't care at all, and saw that the regretful look didn't seem to be fake, and couldn't help but secretly admire: "With such a ability to cultivate the mind and cultivate qi, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the horse." ”
Princess An on the side heard this, so she joked on the side: "Now that this Lin'er has won the wishful person, she took this longevity lock and locked her." ”
Xiaoyu's face turned red, and she sneered: "Princess An is making fun of me again." ”
A few people were talking, and Wen Shan entered the courtesy: "Princess Pingnan and Fang Meiren ask to meet." ”
After a while, I saw Princess Pingnan wearing an orange-yellow silk flower and bird pattern gown with a light gold horse-faced skirt, with an orange-red embroidered gold Ruyi pattern covering her knees in the center, and a light gold shawl on her shoulders and walking in quickly.
Xiaoyu hurriedly got up and stood aside waiting for the salute, took the opportunity to glance at her, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, remembering the first time she saw her in Yanbei a few years ago, her high-spirited expression, but after a few years of hard work, she became a noble lady with a serious face and cautious manners. Xu had just heard the news of King Pingnan, and his face showed a trace of panic that he couldn't hide at this moment. Han Guifei looked at her expression, and her face showed a hint of displeasure.
Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly think: "If the saint asks Brother Xue to lead the troops to rescue, I will take someone with me, anyway...... If so, we will live and die together. ”
It was Fang Meiren who followed Princess Pingnan into the house, and while everyone was looking at Princess Pingnan, Fang Meiren secretly glanced at Xiaoyu, and saw that she was wearing a crown of Xia Cloak and a vermilion Baizi coat on her body, and she couldn't help but hang her head gloomily.
Xiaoyu also looked at Fang Meiren, saw that she was wearing a pink gown, and thought to herself: "It's a little thinner than when she visited the garden, and she is also a disaster, always the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are too strong." ”
Several people saluted each other, and Princess Pingnan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw that Xiaoyu was also there, and then smiled: "I forgot to congratulate my sister." ”
After a few pleasantries, Han Guifei smiled at Xiaoyu and said, "I heard that you are now in charge of the family in the Protector's Mansion?" In this capital, you will be in charge as soon as you pass the door, except for a few princes who opened the mansion, you are also the only one. ”
Xiaoyu didn't dare to look at Princess Pingnan, lowered her head and sighed: "Alas, my mother has been sick for a few days, and she is a little better." I don't want the son of the world to marry me, I have to ask her for everything, and now it's a little heavier, so I have to support it. The concubine didn't know that the concubine was the youngest daughter in the family, and my parents never thought of making me a clan wife, so now I am overstretched. said that I was the housekeeper, and I had to rely on my mother for everything. ”
Han Guifei smiled faintly: "In this way, you have been in charge for some days." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Princess Pingnan and said, "It is said that Mrs. Zizi is the same age as you, and she is in charge of the house, if you have something, you might as well go to her for advice." ”
Xiaoyu was stunned, and thought to herself: "Why is this Han Guifei so indistinguishable from inside and outside, Princess Pingnan is your own daughter-in-law in the end, why are you dismantling her platform here." He smiled and said, "I've only been in charge for four or five days, and I only know how to follow my mother's old rules." ”
Han Guifei sneered and said, "This is very rare. ”
Niangniang nodded, and asked with a smile: "Your housekeeper has been doing the hardest thing these days." ”
Xiaoyu said: "People in the world don't often say that they don't know the price of firewood and rice, I have only been a family for a few days, and I know that it is difficult to do everything well in this seemingly simple inner house, and everyone must work together." For example, my mother Zhang Luo's marriage between me and the prince of the world, I don't know how much thought and energy I have wasted, I just want everything to be perfect. I don't know who is so hateful, but I gently reasoned that the son of the world was also ruined, and the arrangement of my mother's hard work was ruined. It can be seen that in this world, it is not enough to succeed in a thousand days, and there are more than one day to fail. (To be continued......)
