Chapter 296 Dragon Boat Festival
"You kid, how can you think like that, you are angry, I know this, but we are still a family, your father and I love you in our hearts, that is, the old lady, don't say it, I also love you the most in my heart, I love Mo'er and Yushu the most, in our family, no one can go past you, more than Mo'er and Yushu! Don't worry, I'll be your boss. ”
Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Yunshan with pity, and waited with a bag full of burdens, but Gu Yunshan didn't answer, stood up, and politely said:
"Please forgive my mother, yesterday the princess of Runan sent a letter, asking me to go over early this morning, it's not too early, I won't talk to my mother more, it's not good to go to Runan Wangfu late."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up suddenly, she hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile:
"It's just right, I'll go with you, isn't the princess the little warm girl who grew up in your house in previous years? I heard that I'm pregnant, and I want to go see her, so if you want to go, let's go and pour the bento together. ”
Gu Yunshan looked at Mrs. Zhang helplessly, paused for a moment, and then said flatly:
"The princess is now the lord of Anfu, and her status is noble, and she is pregnant again, and she has cut off her entertainment a few months ago."
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and her smile was a little reluctant,
"It's not a social affair, we're all relatives......"
"Mother, I told you, that's the Lord of Anfu! I don't dare go with her!"
Gu Yunshan lowered her eyes, her tone was indifferent with a hint of impatience, Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Yunshan angrily, and said with a forced smile:
"Then you go quickly, I should go back too, there are a lot of things at home, your father and the old lady are all thinking about Mo'er and Yushu......"
Mrs. Zhang thought about the old lady's explanation, and turned the words behind her,
"If you have time, you can also take them home for your father and the old lady to see."
Gu Yunshan snorted paradoxically, stood and let Mrs. Zhang go out, came back to change her clothes, packed up, and took Yan'er to Runan Wangfu, among the three children, Li Xiaonuan loved Yan'er the most.
The next day, Li Xiaonuan took the note handed in by Qianyue, carefully recalled Gu Yunshan's expression yesterday, but couldn't think of anything wrong, well, this Mrs. may just go to see her grandchildren, it is also human nature, Li Xiaonuan threw the note into the paper burner and melted, and her heart was settled.
Cheng Ke came back in the evening, looked at Li Xiaonuan's expression carefully, and asked in a raised tone:
"Did you see the letter delivered by Qianyue?"
"See, it just so happened that the big sister came in to see me that day, I saw that she looked very peaceful, the letter handed in by Qianyue, have you read it first?"
"Well, I'm afraid that Qianyue doesn't know the severity, and any letter will dare to come in, in case I get angry with you, it's a big deal."
"What can be doing to me off? Whoever provokes me, I just have to fight back so that I won't be angry!"
Li Xiaonuan laughed, Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and nodded seriously,
"That's right, when you are so little, you dare to rush up and kick me for a word."
Li Xiaonuan glanced at him with a smile, Cheng Ke rubbed forward, reached out and stroked Li Xiaonuan's already slightly bulging lower abdomen and asked:
"Do you really want to enter the palace to congratulate during the Dragon Boat Festival? Don't go, my aunt won't blame you, no one dares to blame you. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid that people will blame me, it's that I want to go out for a walk, nest in this yard every day, people are moldy, it's almost four months now, I've already sat down in the fetus, it's better to go out for a walk, go to the palace, my aunt won't let me be tired."
Li Xiaonuan explained with a smile, Cheng Ke nodded,
"In that case, then go ahead, bring a few more girls, and be careful in everything."
"Hmm."
The two laughed, ate and rested.
The old lady heard Li Xiaonuan's words that she was going to enter the palace to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, but she didn't say much, but only sent Mama Bai to Yuncui Palace to explain a few words.
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Xiaonuan changed into a loose bright blue robe, a light blue background embroidered with blue folded flower pleated skirts, her hair was curled into a bun, she inserted a red gold dot emerald green snow hairpin, wore a cloak, went out and got into the car, met the princess in the second gate, and went to the palace.
got off the car at the gate of the palace, there were already three or four waiters carrying two small bright sedan chairs waiting, seeing the princess and Li Xiaonuan get out of the car, the leading waiter hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, with a smile on his face:
"The princess, the princess, the little ones have served the will of the concubine, and invited the two of them to sit in this sedan chair and go in, the concubine said, this is the emperor's grace, please don't refuse."
The princess turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan and said with a smile:
"Since it is the emperor's grace, it cannot be shirked."
Li Xiaonuan smiled and got into the sedan chair with the princess, and the waiter lifted the sedan chair and entered the Dacheng Hall steadily.
The two got off the sedan chair in front of the Dacheng Palace, Li Xiaonuan helped the princess, lowered her head slightly, with a gentle smile on her face, and greeted countless eyes of envy or jealousy, and walked towards the hall humbly.
The princess walked slowly, greeting the courteous women with her modest jaws and bent knees along the way, but she did not pause at her feet, and went up the steps all the way to the Dacheng Palace.
Li Xiaonuan and the princess didn't arrive early, the hall was already full of people, talking and laughing in groups, seeing the two of them coming in, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet each other, greeted affectionately, and swept their eyes over Li Xiaonuan's abdomen under the long robe, almost invisible, and said auspicious words.
The princess stopped and walked to the palace, and the eldest princess sat on a chair under the south window of the hall, raising her hand and calling Li Xiaonuan:
"Come here, let me see."
The princess hurriedly turned around and motioned to Li Xiaonuan,
"The eldest princess called you, come over quickly."
Li Xiaonuan bent her knees and agreed, bent her knees, and walked to the eldest princess, Li Xiaonuan bent her knees to the eldest princess, the eldest princess of Fuqing, Mrs. Tang Chengxiang and others greeted her, the eldest princess beckoned her, took her hand and motioned her to sit on the round stool next to her, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly smiled and excused herself:
"Xiao Nuan doesn't dare."
The people in this circle, except for the eldest princess and the eldest princess of Fuqing, are all standing, how can she sit down, but she can't afford to lose such a courtesy, the eldest princess said with a smile:
"You are a person with a body, don't talk about these etiquettes, and besides, you talk to me, standing like this, I look up and see that you are tired, sit."
Li Xiaonuan turned behind the eldest princess, and while gently beating her shoulders, she said with a smile:
"The ceremony cannot be wasted, I will beat the eldest princess on the shoulder, and do my filial piety."
Mrs. Tang Cheng looked at Li Xiaonuan, her eyes moved from her head all the way to her abdomen, and said with a warm smile:
"How can there be any rudeness, this is also sitting in the sedan chair in the palace, and there is no need to pay more attention to the false etiquette of not sitting, but it seems to be hypocritical."
Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Prime Minister Tang Cheng's wife, and explained in a gentle voice:
"Coming in in a sedan chair, it is the emperor's grace, there is a gift, but it is disrespectful, even an elderly person like you is still standing at this time, how dare I sit down? Not to mention the number of rites, even the heart of respect for the elderly, it should not be. ”
Mrs. Tang Chengxiang was about to speak with a smile on her face, but Mrs. Yan Chengxiang pulled her and said with a smile:
"I just saw Princess Xin, why can't I see it in a blink of an eye? I was about to ask her about the crispy fruit they sent from their house a few days ago, I love to eat it very much, and I want to ask her for a recipe. ”
Princess Jingbei took two steps forward and sat down on the chair next to the eldest princess of Fuqing.
"I'm also tired, just sit for a while, this year, the concubine specially asked people to put these chairs on the edge of this hall, just to understand that we old women can't stand standing."
While talking, Mrs. Yan Chengxiang and Mrs. Tang Chengxiang pulled her to sit under the princess of Jingbei, and several older ladies next to her also sat scattered, and the eldest princess turned around and patted Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said in a low voice:
"It's going to be time, are you still throwing up a lot now? A while ago, your mother-in-law found me here, but I didn't have any good ideas. ”
"I stopped throwing up for a long time, I just felt better, so I came out and walked around."
Li Xiaonuan slapped the eldest princess on the shoulders while answering,
"That's good, kneel slowly for a while, be careful."
Li Xiaonuan agreed with a smile, and while she was talking, a female official turned out of the palace, walked up to Li Xiaonuan, bent her knees, and said politely:
"Princess, concubine, please come over and say a few words."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly agreed, resigned the eldest princess and Princess Runan, and walked to the back of the palace with the female official, the eldest princess picked up the cup with a smile and drank tea.
Li Xiaonuan followed the female officer into the sitting room behind the Dacheng Palace, Cheng Guifei was dressed neatly, sitting on the couch and drinking tea, seeing Li Xiaonuan coming in, she hurriedly signaled to the female officer,
"Don't be polite, you're inconvenient, help her come and sit."
The two female officials stepped forward, helped Li Xiaonuan up with a smile, and let her sit on the edge of the couch, Cheng Guifei put down the cup, took Li Xiaonuan's hand, looked carefully for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief,
"This complexion looks very good, so I can rest assured, you will rest here later, don't follow the ceremony, a few kowtows, you are pregnant, you can't stand it."
Cheng Guifei paused, looked at Li Xiaonuan, showed a smile in her eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Yesterday, my mother specially asked Mama Bai to come in and tell me, I heard that now my mother will come to your yard every day?"
"Well, come over on time at the end of every day, drive me all over the yard, the ancestor said, no matter whether she gives birth to a great-grandson or a great-granddaughter, she will accept him as an apprentice and teach him to practice kung fu well, and said that his father picked a stupid master for Xiao Ke, and he learned to stink in kung fu, and he delayed her grandson, and this great-grandchild can no longer let her father ruin it."
Li Xiaonuan had a bitter face and said helplessly, Cheng Guifei laughed,
"Mother is really ...... took his great-grandson as an apprentice, what kind of algorithm is this? Back then, the eldest brother wanted to give Xiaojing Xiaoke to her to teach, but she refused to even see anyone......"
Cheng Guifei paused suddenly, reached out to stroke Li Xiaonuan's sideburns, and said in a low voice:
"Speaking of which, I really should thank you, since the day my mother locked herself in Rui Zitang, I haven't let go of my heart for a day......"
Oh, oh, it's hard to be on time today.
