078 Before the dinner
Mid-Autumn Festival in August, osmanthus is fragrant.
He Yu still has an early court this morning, so he got up early and went to the court.
Xiao Yao is also rare that she is not lying in bed, and the sun comes out and follows.
After getting up, first put the gift list right, this gift list is not only sent to the palace, but also to the princes, some officials and ministers, and the gifts of the minister's family should also be prepared. There are dozens of families on the entire list, and the gifts have already been sorted out.
In the palace, the palace sent to the Yangxin Palace, the prince's office and the prince's east palace naturally wanted He Yu to go in person, and several respected bachelors from the princess's family, officials and ministers must also be visited by the couple. The rest is to send someone according to the list, and it's over.
After Xiao Yao checked the list, she confirmed that there was no problem, and began to wash and change clothes after breakfast, and the clothes during the day were a plain lotus lotus-colored cotton dress, covered with tulle of the same color with gold thread and dark lines, and her hair was pulled up in a bun, with hair accessories made according to the princess's etiquette. After He Yu came back from the court, looking at Xiao Yao like this, he couldn't help but step forward to touch Xiao Yao's neck, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you dressed so formally." ”
"I'm at home every day, and I don't need to be so formal, I'm going out, so I naturally have to clean up." Xiao Yao put on the last earring herself, got up and spun around in front of He Yu, and blinked, "You can't embarrass my husband, can you?" ”
He Yu laughed out loud and hugged Xiao Yao with joy, "That's for sure, my daughter-in-law must be the most beautiful." ”
Because it was just a gift visit, the time spent at each family was not long, almost more than three hours, and it was basically over. Xiao Yao was on the carriage and said sadly, "I didn't expect to be so tired during the festival." ”
"Hold on," He Yu looked at Xiao Yao's slightly tired demeanor distressedly, after all, today disrupted Xiao Yao's usual routine, and she was also tired at this time, He Yu hugged her and let her lean on her body, "Take a little rest, there will be dinner in the evening." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yao answered lazily, and fell asleep not long after leaning on He Yu.
He Yu looked at Xiao Yao's sleeping face and said that it was fake not to feel distressed.
Originally, this health was not good, and he was still tired from running around like this, he was really embarrassed, thinking that there would be a dinner party in the evening, He Yu sighed softly, and he didn't know if Xiao Yao could handle it? After all, the previous environment was relatively simple, and now in the face of the various faces of those individuals, He Yu couldn't help but worry. However, thinking that there was still Concubine Chen in the palace, after the end of the early dynasty, he made a special trip to Concubine Chen's place to greet him in advance, and Concubine Chen also agreed, blocking some for Xiao Yao, and his heart was a little more comforting.
However, Concubine Chen also said, "Hongming, I didn't say you. What is Princess? That's your wife, that's the one who will accompany you, go in and out with you. It's not those concubines in your backyard, you protect and pamper her like this, so that she never knows how much you have done for her, do you think it's appropriate? ”
"I didn't think about exposing her to these," He Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean you haven't thought about it?" Concubine Chen's voice raised a little, "She is a princess, not a canary you raised." Hongming, she has to grow up after all, you can't always protect her like this. ”
"I know." He Yu nodded, "However, I don't want her to be exposed to these too early, take her time......"
"You......" Concubine Chen is really convinced of this child, who would have thought that the merry little prince would spoil his wife like this.
Where is this pet, I can't wait to provide people up.
I slept for about an hour, and if I went back to sleep, I was afraid that I would miss the hour.
He Yu endured the distress at this time, woke Xiao Yao up from her sleep, and kissed her forehead, "Get up, otherwise it will be too late to enter the palace." ”
Xiao Yao was confused, but she also understood that entering the palace was a big deal, so she obediently got up and asked the girls to help her change her clothes. Seeing this, He Yu was also a lot relieved, and turned to clean it up himself.
After combing her hair, it wasn't until she wiped her face with a handkerchief soaked in water that Xiao Yao was completely sober and let Yunzhu and Yunyue help her put on makeup.
Yun Zhu knew that Xiao Yao liked to bring Hua Tian, so he took a few gold painted ones over and planned to bring them for Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao looked at it, shook his head and said, "I want that pink Hua Tian, this is too eye-catching." ”
Yun Zhu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”
During the palace banquet, there are many people, relatively speaking, it is better not to be too eye-catching, the prince spoils the princess on weekdays, so this flower is also varied, and sometimes it is ingenious in the house, and you can do whatever you want. However, it is better to be cautious in the dark.
Thinking of this, Yunzhu was slightly blessed, "It's the slave who didn't think it through, please punish the princess." ”
"There are always times when people don't think about it," Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, "Now is not the time to worry about this, hurry up." ”
"Yes." Yun Zhu didn't say anything else, and immediately began to get busy.
In the palace, Ming Huang is respected, and the lower princes are purple.
In order to show the emperor's favor, what He Yu prepared for Xiao Yao today was a purple pleated phoenix tail group with wide sleeves on the ground, embroidered with silver-veined peonies and various flying butterflies, embellished around the skirt, as if real, dancing.
Covered with a Su embroidered Yuehua silk smock, the neckline of the top of the blouse is the gourd buckle that Xiao Yao knitted by herself to pass the time a few days ago, but it really complements each other and serves as the finishing touch.
The costume is gorgeous, the headdress is a golden butterfly swaying, with a pearl jasper vermilion hairpin, and there are no other headdresses.
He Yu nodded with satisfaction, "It's beautiful." ”
Xiao Yao doted on He Yu and smiled slightly, put his hand on He Yu's hand, and the two walked away to Xuanping Palace.
When he arrived in the palace, He Yu first sent Xiao Yao to Concubine Chen, who looked at Xiao Yao like this and smiled, "It's really beautiful." ”
He Yu smiled and saluted Concubine Chen, "Yaoyao will rely more on Niangniang today." ”
"That is, who made you my only nephew, I don't protect you little couple, who protects you?" Concubine Chen's words were very direct. However, He Yu was satisfied, "Then thank you aunt." ”
"Hurry up, after all, it's not the prince, and no matter how favored you are, you can't go later than the prince." Concubine Chen said to He Yu.
"Okay." After speaking, he turned his head and said to Xiao Yao, "I'll wait for you over there, you can follow Niangniang over later, don't run around by yourself, you are not familiar with the palace." ”
"yes, I know." Xiao Yao looked at He Yu's eyes and nodded in reassurance.
After He Yu left, Concubine Chen asked Xiao Yao to sit down and said, "Actually, I plan to talk to you a few words today." ”
Looking at Concubine Chen's stern face, Xiao Yao was stunned, and then immediately said, "Please also ask the mother to teach." ”
"I can't talk about teaching," Concubine Chen waved her hand, and at this time, the maid brought two cups of tea, Concubine Chen took a sip and said with a smile, "This is the new tea that the emperor rewarded a few days ago, drink it and see." ”
Xiao Yao doesn't really have much research on tea, and she doesn't drink much tea in the house, and drinking tea is just fiddling with some flower teas or something, and occasionally she has to add honey. He Yu himself doesn't care about these tosses, he always says, "As long as you feel happy." ”
It made a few minions in the house feel sorry enough
However, since Concubine Chen said it, Xiao Yao obediently took a sip of tea.
Concubine Chen didn't seem to let her say anything about tasting tea, but put down the tea bowl and said, "Yaoyao, it's not me who is an aunt to embarrass you, have you ever thought about what you married He Yu for?" ”
For what?
Xiao Yao was stunned, what else was there for? Didn't He Yu let her marry? They all proposed, and the emperor also issued a holy decree, so naturally this has to be married if you don't marry, and why do you say this?
Seeing Xiao Yao's stunned appearance, Concubine Chen rubbed her eyebrows, she knew that He Yu really didn't tell this girl anything, and was going to put people in the mansion to raise them well.
Concubine Chen pondered for a moment, and then said to Xiao Yao, "Do you know how He Yu's parents died? ”
"The prince and I mentioned this," Xiao Yao nodded honestly, "It's just that the prince didn't say much, and I ...... it."
It's not easy to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, Xiao Yao lowered her head, Concubine Chen heard Xiao Yao say this, and nodded in understanding, and then said, "Then do you know what He Yu married you for?" ”
"Uh......" Xiao Yao really didn't know how to answer this question, but the reason was more or less known, although He Yu also mentioned it, but Xiao Yao vaguely felt that it was not the most real reason, so she didn't know how to answer Concubine Chen's question.
Concubine Chen sighed, "Forget it, it doesn't matter why you married him or why he married you." However, you are now the princess and the wife of the prince Mingmei, so have you ever thought about really standing with the prince? ”
"Aren't we now?" Xiao Yao was at a loss.
"Heh......" Concubine Chen chuckled and asked, "Then you sue me now, what is the prince busy with?" ”
"The affairs of the court." Xiao Yao didn't feel that some things needed to be said obviously, so she pursed her lips and said these four words, and then she thought about it, and said with a straight face, "The prince is my man, and the prince does not say much about the outside affairs to the concubine, but the concubine also knows that there are some things that cannot be asked." Since the concubine is the prince's woman, the concubine will inevitably do what the concubine should do, take care of the Xuanping Palace, so that the prince can concentrate on his affairs, I think this is what a wife should do. As for what he is doing, if he is willing to tell his concubine, the concubine will definitely listen. If he needs the help of his concubines, the concubines will also go to the soup and die forever, but since the prince doesn't say anything now, it must mean that the family house is safe, so why should the concubines know so much? You say, isn't that the truth? ”R1152
