Chapter 117: Gift-giving
was chatting happily, Jin Ling walked in softly and said a few words in Yan Xiaoyue's ear.
Yan Xiaoyue glanced at Fang Yajie, "Mother, the guest is here." ”
Fang Yajie hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Look at me, patronizing and listening to the eldest princess chatting with Mrs. Jiang, I almost forgot about the business, there are already guests outside, I will go to greet you." Mrs. Jiang, I want to trouble you to help accompany the eldest princess. ”
Mrs. Jiang nodded, "The guest is important, you can get busy quickly, the eldest princess has me here, Mrs. Yang can rest assured." ”
Yan Xiaoyue also retired with Xiaoxiao. Entering the east wing, the clothes and jewelry to be changed today are all here, watched by Xiu'er and Yinhua.
After waiting for a while, I saw Jin Ling walk in, saying that the guests were all in place, and asked Xiaoyue to go out to receive the gift.
Yan Xiaoyue walked out slowly with Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao washed her hands with a bowl, standing on the west side, Xiaoyue stood in the center of the field, facing south, and saluted the guests first, and swept away at a glance, even the princess of Jin came.
Turning around and kneeling on the mat facing west, Xiaoxiao used a peach wood comb to smooth Xiao Yue's hair, and then put the comb on the south side of the mat. After Xiaoxiao left, the eldest princess got up first, and the Yang couple then got up to accompany each other, and the eldest princess washed her hands and dried them at the foot of the east steps, and sat down with the Yang couple after giving way to each other.
Yan Xiaoyue turned to sit in the east, Jiang Siyao presented Luo Pa and the hair flute, and the eldest princess walked up to Xiao Yue and chanted a greeting in a loud voice, saying: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first plus yuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Then he knelt down and sat down, combing Satsuki's hair with his knees on the mat, then got up and returned to his original position. Xiaoxiao symbolically straightened Xiaoyue and gently helped Xiaoyue to get up, and the guests congratulated Xiaoyue.
Yan Xiaoyue retreated to the east room, Xiaoxiao took the clothes from Si Yao's hand, and went to the room to help Xiaoyue change the plain clothes and skirts that matched the hairpin on her head. After Xiaoyue walked out of the room in her skirt, she showed it to the guests. Then face the parents and make a formal prostration. This is the first time to worship and express gratitude for the nurturing grace of parents.
Then Yan Xiaoyue sat facing Dongzheng. The eldest princess washed her hands again and then reset, Jiang Siyao presented a hairpin, which was the blood jade hairpin that Zigui gave to Xiaoyue. The eldest princess took it, brushed it on the blood-red plum blossoms, walked up to Xiao Yue, and chanted in a loud voice: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nashen Erfu." Respectfully. Socksander. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”
Xiaoxiao went to the hairpin for Xiaoyue, and the eldest princess knelt down, put hairpins on Xiaoyue's hairpin, and then got up to reset the position. Xiaoxiao helped Xiaoyue symbolically hairpin, and all the guests bowed to Xiaoyue. Xiao Yue returned to the east room again, Xiaoxiao took clothes to assist, and went to the room to help Xiao Yue change the curly deep clothes that matched the hairpin on her head.
Yan Xiaoyue came out in a deep dress to show the guests, and then faced the eldest princess and bowed formally. This is the second prayer. Show respect for the division commander and seniors.
After getting up, Yan Xiaoyue sat facing Dongzheng, and the eldest princess washed her hands again and then reset. Si Yao presented the hairpin crown, and the eldest princess was about to take it, when she suddenly heard a stop shouting: "Wait." ”
I saw a woman in gorgeous clothes standing up next to Princess Jin, walking in front of the eldest princess in a few steps, and after saluting, she took out a rosewood box and opened it, "The concubine is the concubine Li of the Ning Palace, on the orders of the prince of my family." Give this hairpin crown to the girl, hoping that the girl will wear it at the ceremony. ”
Yan Xiaoyue raised her eyes and looked, the crown of "magpie climbing branches", full of rubies dazzling people's eyes hurt.
His gaze turned to Li Ling'er's face. smiled faintly: "Concubine Li, if your prince wants to give a gift, please register at the concierge, if you forget, I will ask the maid to talk to the concierge later." As for the little girl and the hairpin crown on the ceremony, they will not bother Ning Wangfu. Although Satsuki is in the market, she can also buy it for herself. Concubine Li, it's not early, please sit back. ”
The eldest princess snorted lightly, ignored Li Ling'er, walked straight to Yan Xiaoyue, and chanted a congratulatory speech: "With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served." Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”
Xiaoxiao went to the hairpin for Yan Xiaoyue, and the eldest princess knelt down, added a hairpin crown for Xiaoyue, and then got up to reset the position. Xiaoxiao helped Xiaoyue to be crowned, only to see the stars on the hairpin crown, shining in the sun, dazzling, Rao is the guests who have seen people, they are dazzled for a while, and some even forgot to bow to Xiaoyue.
Look at the hairpin crown on Yan Xiaoyue's head, and then look at the hairpin crown in Li Ling'er's hand, everyone looked at Li Ling'er with ridicule, and saw that Li Ling'er was uncomfortable, pinching the hair crown in her hand hard, as long as she could get rid of this woman's thoughts, what she did was worth it.
Yan Xiaoyue returned to the east room, Xiaoxiao took her clothes and went to the room to assist Xiaoyue in changing the big-sleeved long skirt dress that matched the hairpin crown on her head.
The dress is a red cardigan skirt, this is the first time Yan Xiaoyue has worn a cardigan skirt, the delicate collarbone is slightly exposed, and the full chest is high and erect, showing the graceful posture and all kinds of styles.
Yan Xiaoyue wore a large-sleeved dress and a hairpin crown, and after slowly walking out of the room, she showed it to the guests, and then faced the north and performed a formal salute, which was the third prayer to express her determination to be loyal to the king.
In the end, Yang Mocheng stood up and invited the guests to sit down, Yan Xiaoyue followed Xiaoxiao back to the east room, and Jiang Siyao had been entertaining everyone outside.
Originally, many guests could come for the face of the eldest princess, and they didn't expect much from the shogunate, but after coming in, they found that the house was significantly exquisite, even a small cluster of flowers in the corner was also extraordinary, fragrant and gorgeous, not to mention the koi in that pool, which was red and dazzling.
The food is even more good, the snacks are delicious, the fruits are sweet, and the luncheon is rich and varied. In addition to the four-color gift box, there was also a fruit basket in the return gift, and even the ladies who often went in and out of the courtyards were smiling and very satisfied with this trip.
In the midst of everyone's joy, Concubine Li of King Ning's Mansion looked restless, and Princess Jin stood at the door and looked at Li Ling'er with a look of disdain, "This person, the most important thing is to find his own position, take out some things that can't be put on the table, and you don't have to lose the royal face." ”
Li Ling'er's face stiffened, only she understood how she entered the palace back then, and it was rumored that she was King Ning who personally came to ask for a marriage, but it was just the words released by Li Mansion himself, just to take care of Li Ling'er's face.
After entering the palace, the Li Mansion has been lukewarm to her for so many years, so why not show it to King Ning? Today, she went out to publicize King Ning's meaning in public, just to eliminate Xiaoyue's way into King Ning's mansion, she is not Princess Ning, she is afraid of wolves before doing things, and she is afraid of tigers and cowers, she has to be ruthless if she wants to do it.
As for the consequences, Li Ling'er straightened her back, no matter what, she still has children, and she is the eldest son with the highest ranking in King Ning's mansion, so she doesn't believe that King Ning will do anything to her? "Princess Jin, the concubine still needs to go back to the house to take care of her son, so she will retire first."
Princess Jin smiled coldly, to say that the person she hates the most is definitely not Princess Ning, but this woman, who looks well-behaved on weekdays, who doesn't know that her son was obtained while King Ning was drunk, and she really thought that she was a pamper? (To be continued.) )
