Chapter 596: Acting for the Monarch
But King Yong, the foreign family is weak, and the power in the court over the years has not been able to compete with the Wei and Xu families.
When Qiu Chen entered the palace this time, he already felt that there was an undercurrent, and when he heard Qin Zheng's words, he couldn't help but feel a tense feeling in his heart...... If the emperor declares King Liyong as the crown prince at this time, he will pay it back, if it is just like this, it is not clear, there is no name and no place, in case the emperor is not good, the first queen of Cheng Wang, and now the son of Queen Xu, King Fu, can compete as a concubine. What's more, the Wei family controls the government; Zhao Guogong held military power...... Neither literature nor martial arts can be underestimated!
New Year's Day is the beginning of the year, and in the most important festivals, the appointment of acting as the monarch is undoubtedly easier to speculate, which is the signal of the emperor to establish the crown prince......
In ancient times, the emphasis was on the fact that the country could not be without a king for a day. The emperor has something to do to leave Beijing to go out, or to patrol the luck, or to hunt, or to worship the mountain and seal the Zen...... Generally, one prince or two princes will be declared to be in charge of the country and act on behalf of the king; There are also ceremonies such as worshipping the heavens and the earth and worshipping the ancestors, and sometimes the prince will perform them on his behalf...... These many acts of acting as kings often represent the emperor's love for a certain prince, and they are worthy of great responsibilities.
After a pause, Qin Zheng said again: "The emperor asked King Yong to drink on his behalf." ”
In the car, Qin Zheng was silent for a long time, seeing that he was about to walk to the door of the Duke of Liang's mansion, before he whispered: "The emperor has been sitting for less than half an hour, and he left the banquet just now......"
The two compartments met at the gate of the palace, and those who came out together were just hurriedly saying goodbye and turning home.
Qiu Chen was still following behind Mrs. Li, still cautious, and watching the many other foreign women, they were also cautious, everyone had a smile on their faces, but they were faintly looking forward to or fearing what was about to happen.
The party was celebrating and peaceful, and the queen held a banquet and entertained the internal and external women, and it was not until the beginning of the moment that they dispersed.
Originally, the four princes and princesses, after King Qi was demoted to a concubine, only Princess Cheng, Princess Yong and Princess Fu remained, and compared to Princess Fu's laughing language, Princess Yong was arrogant and spoken, Princess Cheng was a little unable to step forward, and they all looked a little dark.
Just now, Qiu Chen stood in front of the hall, confined to the number of etiquette and did not dare to look at it at will, after the audience, standing aside, she relaxed instead, raised her eyes to look at Queen Xu and the concubine and others at the head of the head, I don't know if she was preconceived, although the concubines were dressed in heavy makeup, she still felt that the smiles on the faces of the concubines were a little reluctant, talking and laughing seemed to be full of joy, and when she looked closely, she was a little absent-minded.
Immediately, someone came in again, Qiu Chen followed Mrs. Li to the side, Mrs. Zheng Jiyu, Mrs. Niu, Mrs. Song, and the eldest princess of Chang'an greeted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a smile, greeted them in a low voice, and stood in order.
Qiu Chen could only thank the leader.
Princess Fu hurriedly responded with a smile.
"Hey, you're just being too careful...... After entering the palace a few more times in the future, I will become familiar with it, so I will naturally not be so restrained. As he spoke, Princess Tang Lanzhi smiled and said, "In the future, this matter will be explained to you, after the New Year, looking for a warm day, let the county lord of Anning come in with triplets to open our eyes, it is also rare!" ”
Qiu Chen heard the drum beating in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and said solemnly: "The concubine's qualifications are reckless, her words are boring, the queen is in charge of the six palaces and the mother of the world, and the concubines don't dare to disturb rashly!" ”
When Qiu Chen got up with Mrs. Li's thanksgiving, he heard Queen Xu smile again: "The county lord of Anning is still so cautious, when you were pregnant, the palace didn't dare to announce that you entered the palace, this mother and son were safe, and they went out of confinement smoothly, and they didn't know how to enter the palace to talk to the palace and relieve their boredom...... and those three children, it is said that they are all very good looking and bearing, and now they must be fat and cute! ”
Empress Xu's gentle and pleasant voice came down from above: "No courtesy, no courtesy!" ”
I followed Mrs. Li in and saluted respectfully.
In the main hall, Empress Xu sits on the throne in the main hall, and on both sides of the throne, there are noble concubines and concubines.
The queen does not live in Kunning Palace every day, but it is arranged here for the Hajj.
Naturally, there are also ladies who know each other and even know each other, Qiu Chen respectfully salutes and does not slack off.
All the way into Kunning Palace to meet the queen, Qiu Chen followed Mrs. Li two steps in a low-key manner, his hands and eyes lowered, his expression was solemn and gentle, and he followed suit.
After putting off the firecrackers, eating dumplings, this New Year's Eve is also over, whether they have a family or not, they all turn back and rest for a while, but on the second watch, Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen took Brother Yun, Chang'er, and Liang'er brothers, and went to the Qin clan ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, and then the children were sent back to Wutong Garden, Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen After a short rest, they each wore their own dresses, Qin Zheng followed Qin Xiuyi, Qiu Chen followed Mrs. Li, took the Zhulun canopy car all the way to the palace, on New Year's Day, entered the palace for pilgrimage, civil and military officials, and foreign women gathered at the palace gate.
In this way, when it arrived, dumplings were served in the big kitchen, Qin Cheng and Qin Yao took their brothers and Ah Fu, Brother Yun and other small ones to the yard to set off firecrackers and flowers. Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen Changfang led the family of male and female juniors to Qin Xiuyi and Mrs. Li to pay New Year's greetings.
Tian's can't go out, and the concubines only have Qiu Chen and Zhao Yuzhen and Yihuan Yiting, two sisters-in-law, and then two little girls, Ah Man and Yu'er, who are much more harmonious than the men, and their voices are not loud, but they talk and laugh about some clothes and jewelry, and Ah Man and Yu'er talk about snacks and discuss their own things, which is also interesting.
The man is his own brother, but he is not very close, but the Chinese New Year's Eve is the New Year's Eve, but how can he not give birth to an accident, but because of Qin Zheng's cold face, the brothers are more restrained when they see him than when they see Qin Xiuyi, but they are reluctant to say a few words. Qin Zheng asked Qin Cheng and Qin Yao a few words about their errands, and listened to the slightly inadequate but cautious answers of the two people, and was quite satisfied, so he rarely opened his mouth to encourage a few words, making the two brothers happy as if they had won the award.
The little thing knows the opportunity, but the little person is not stupid, he kneels beside Qin Xiuyi obediently, and he is pouring wine for his grandfather very well, making Qin Xiuyi's face flushed with joy, and the laughter continues.
The girls came up and cleaned up the leftovers, but they cleaned up two tables in the hall, men and women each sat at a table, and they all had to avoid anything, and by the way, they sent away the many girls and mothers-in-law who were waiting, leaving only a big girl who was close to each other to serve, and the patriarch Qin Xiuyi and Mrs. Li did not sit with everyone, but put a spacious couch on the spacious wooden couch around the four seas, and the old couple sat opposite each other, and the wooden couch was lined up on the inside of the wooden couch, and there were three wooden baby chairs, But it is the three brothers and sisters of Chang'er, Liang'er and Jiu'er, who are extremely excited, and Brother Yun'er is the eldest grandson and the most favored by Qin Xiuyi, and he is also taken by Qin Xiuyi at this time.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is naturally jubilant and festive. Mrs. Zhao found her daughter-in-law who should be in her heart, and she was also infinitely happy and radiant, and the mother-in-law and girls were also infected with the joy of the masters. This year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet was more lively and longer than in previous years, and it was not until the end of the hour that the satisfied tribesmen left and returned to their respective homes to keep the New Year.
Liang Guogong Mansion has accumulated for a hundred years, with a profound heritage, and the eldest son has won the title of Hou Ye by virtue of his military merits, and eats the country's duke, after experiencing a low profile last winter, now the holy family is long, and the father and son stand side by side above the court, in comparison, whether it is the Wei family of Xinguo Gong, or the Xu family of Zhao Guogong, it seems that there are no two honors, but there is no successor, in all fairness, the fundamental method is compared with the Qin family of Liang Guogong.
Not long after, the ladies and children of the clan also arrived one after another, and they came up to greet them. There are also old ones, and the Li family also got up to meet the ......
Under the joy of everyone, the smile on Mrs. Li's face deepened, and she casually beckoned Yihuan Yiting to sit down.
Of course, not to mention the New Year's holidays, it is an ordinary day, what is the real estate on the Zhuangzi, the clothes of the four seasons, the things, the filial piety of the son and daughter-in-law, Qiu Chen has not delayed.
Although Qiu Chen said that she had a small disagreement with Mrs. Li when she first started, but later, under her deliberate friendship, she got along well with this stepmother-in-law, at least she could get by on face, and during the New Year's holidays, not only Brother Yun and triplets had them, but even Afu Aman did not fall behind, and he did not favor one over the other, and the Li family could do this, Qiu Chen was also satisfied, and he didn't ask for more.
Qiu Chen smiled, turned his head to look at Mrs. Li and said, "Madame's vision is still as good as ever!" ”
Yihuan and Yiting were naturally happy when they got the compliment, Yihuan was a little more lively, looked at Mrs. Li and said with a smile: "It was only the lady who added it to our sisters, and Madame's vision is good!" ”
The two girls are wearing silk gowns, one lotus color, one pomegranate red, and the hairpin with red gold inlaid pearls on their heads, the gold is shiny, although the beads are not big, but they are all round in shape, full of color, and the color is also good, it can be seen that the clothes and jewelry are new, in front of Mrs. Li, Qiu Chen naturally said a few words.
Although Qiu Chen is the eldest sister-in-law, she is not too dignified, she raised her hand with a smile and helped her, and greeted Yihuan Yiting with a smile and said, "The two sisters are wearing beautiful clothes today!" The hairpin on this head looks festive! ”
The two of them said a few words, and the two concubines of Yihuan and Yiting came over, and after greeting Mrs. Li, they gave Qiu Chen a salute.
However, it doesn't matter if she is optimistic or not, not to mention, she is likely to leave Beijing and return to Anyang after the New Year, even if she does not leave the capital, she also lives in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, not for the New Year, she will not meet Gu Qingning, but she is not afraid of not getting along. Seeing Mrs. Li's infinite joy, she naturally followed suit.
Actually, Gu Qingning is quite arrogant, which is not a big problem, but marrying back to be a daughter-in-law is not a very good candidate, and she is completely different from Song Xi'er, whom Mrs. Li had taken a fancy to before, so she didn't expect that Mrs. Li picked Gu Qingning for her own baby son.
Qin Hao and Gu Qingning's marriage, in fact, Qiu Chen just knew.
