What is Marriage?

Marriage is a man and a woman who start a family together, have children, and marry two surnames.

For Yingsleeve, it has always been believed that inheritance is the biggest purpose of marriage.

But Xie Dongli now clearly told her that he married her not to pass on the lineage......

Yingsleeve couldn't tell what she felt, she turned her head and looked out the window.

Xie Dongli had already walked into the courtyard.

Seeing his long and straight back, his eyes also deepened.

"County Lord, dinner is ready. The princess and the little princess are coming soon. Cai Sang said outside the door, "Vice Minister Xie said that he was not going to eat dinner and had already left." ”

Ying Sleeves came back to his senses, walked out of the warm pavilion, and sat down to wait for Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei to come over for dinner together.

"Where's the East Fence? How did you go? Shen Yongjie walked in with Xiao Lei, and didn't see Xie Donglian's people, only Yingsleeve sitting alone at the table.

Ying Sleeve smiled reluctantly, stood up and served dinner to Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei, "He said that there was something wrong, so he went back first." ”

"You really are, and you don't leave anyone behind." Shen Yongjie glanced at her, didn't say anything more, and gave Xiao Lei and Ying Sleeve a bowl of soup each.

The three of them talked and laughed and finished a dinner.

Yuan Jianren never ate with them, and they never mentioned it, but now they are in peace and do not disturb each other, and the days have passed peacefully.

The 50th year of Yongchang is the first New Year for the Yuan Palace, and the significance is naturally extraordinary.

Every year on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Queen Qi Xueyun will invite eight unmarried women from the top families in the capital to enter the palace. Eat boiled dumplings with the concubines, princesses, and princesses in the palace.

This is actually the custom of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and the Eastern Yuan Kingdom did not have this rule before.

Since Empress Qi Xueyun got married, she brought this custom to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

For more than thirty years. This custom has been recognized and accepted by the great families of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.

This invitation was also sent out on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, for the family families of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, in addition to keeping the New Year every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, waiting for Empress Qi Xuejun's post has gradually become a habit.

Every year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, the girl who receives the invitation of Empress Qi Xuejun will become the most eye-catching girl in the family that year.

These people are all women who have not yet been married, and if they have been married, they will not receive this invitation.

And Queen Qi Xueyun invites different people every year. Therefore, many girls regard getting this invitation as a goal in life.

The girl who didn't take this post didn't dare to say that her life was complete......

Yingsleeve was not qualified before. Never received this post.

Now that she has become the lord of the royal family, she will inevitably enter the palace to eat boiled dumplings without the queen's post.

Yingsleeve is a headache.

She doesn't like to eat dumplings, and at most eats crab meat and three fresh small wontons.

Dumplings are delicious. But it didn't suit her appetite.

It's a pity that she has reached her current status. There are many things that cannot be capricious.

For example, from the 30th year of the Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace to the 15th day of the first month to see the lanterns, she must take Xiaolei and her mother to wait in the palace together.

On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yingsleeve had just gotten up and was still sitting in front of the dressing table to dress up, Shen Yule walked to her bedroom wearing a beautiful fur, yawned and said, "You just got up, I haven't slept all night." ”

Yingsleeve looked back at her. Laughing: "What's wrong?" What's keeping you awake? ”

"It's not a dumpling feast yet!" Shen Yule sat listlessly next to the smoker cage and put his hands on it to bake.

The dumpling feast on the fifth day of the first lunar month this year. Shen Yule, the second girl of the Shen family, got an invitation to the queen Qi Xueyun's dumpling banquet.

"Aren't you just going to eat dumplings? What's the big deal. Yingsleeve disagreed, stood up, and asked Shen Yule: "How do you see my dress today?" ”

Shen Yule squinted his eyes and looked over.

The sleeves are combed with a phoenix tail bun, the left side of the bun is inserted with a red jade peony dotted with emerald steps, and three strings of tassels made of rice pearls and lapis lazuli are hung below.

In the middle of the bun, he wears a six-tailed tendril, a phoenix hairpin, a fox skin Zhaojun set, only a hanging bead curtain with gold and jade on his forehead, and a long jacket with rose red brocade mud gold and colorful peony phoenix pattern through sleeves, and long boots in the mink velvet with gold digging cloud red incense.

Shen Yule looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "Of course it's good to dress up, but the best thing I think is the silver bracelet in your hand." Come, open my eyes. ”

She asked about the silver bracelet that Master had given Yingsleeve, and when she clicked on the mechanism, a silver lightsaber flashed out.

Yingsleeve handed her wrist in front of her and said with a smile: "See for yourself, it's just a bracelet." I love the exquisiteness of the look. ”

Shen Yule rubbed his hand twice and praised: "What is this made of?" Gold is not like gold, silver is not like silver, it is not jade, amber, coral, southern red, the tentacles are cold, and it is not beeswax. ”

"It's silver." Ying Sleeve put down his sleeves, covered his bracelet, and flickered Shen Yule with a smile: "You look away." ”

"Really?" Shen Yule looked at her suspiciously, and stretched out his wrist, "Look, I also have a silver bracelet here, but it's too far from yours." ”

"The quality of the silver is different." Yingsleeve said nonsense, and immediately changed the subject, "The dumpling banquet is in the evening, you passed it so early, do you want to enter the palace with us early?" ”

Shen Yule hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's my fault, I forgot that your identities are different now, you go first, I will enter the palace with other nobles in the evening." ”

Yingsleeve nodded, "The palace is too restrained, I still wish you were going to be my companion." ”

Shen Yule had breakfast with her, and then went out in the car with them.

Shen Yule returned to Shen's house, and Yingsleeve entered the palace with Shen Yongjie and Xiao Lei.

Yuan Jianren finally recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, Emperor Yuan Hong was very emotional, but he didn't like him in his heart, so he didn't show special treatment, and he was not as kind to him as Xiao Lei.

"Xiao Lei, come, go to Fengxian Hall with the emperor's grandfather."

"Xiao Lei, this is venison soup. I heard that you have recently practiced bows and arrows, and this soup can grow strength. ”

"Xiao Lei, the emperor's grandfather's eyes are not very good. You read these recitals to your grandfather. ”

Yuan Jianren's leg injury has not healed yet, and Emperor Yuan Hong excused him to recuperate at home, except for the three days of the thirtieth and the first day of the new year, he let him enter the palace with him, and let him recuperate in the Yuan Wang's Mansion at other times.

Only Shen Yongjie took Yingsleeve and Xiao Lei into the palace to participate in various ceremonies in the palace.

Yuan Jianren originally wanted to be close to his father, but when he heard that Emperor Yuan Hong was close to Xiao Lei in various ways, he did everything he should do, and he couldn't help but pick his nose and eyes at Xiao Lei. It's very unpleasant to see him.

Ying Sleeve followed Shen Yongjie into the palace this time, and only went to the queen to salute, and was called out by Emperor Yuanhong. went to Emperor Yuanhong's Jiuyi Hall to ask, and then asked her and Shen Yongjie to sit at Wan Concubine.

Concubine Wan is a person who understands.

In her place, Yingsleeve and Shen Yongjie are still a little more comfortable.

Several people talked together and played backgammon chess pieces. Had a great time.

It was afternoon. The palace began to prepare dumpling feasts.

The queen took the inner palace and members of the royal family to make dumplings herself.

Of course, they just mean it, one person can make four or five, and they won't let them make all the dumplings.

Yingsleeve rarely makes pasta, and it is quite fun to laugh and laugh with everyone.

At night, the palace lights are shining, the fire trees are silver, and it is a rich and prosperous scene.

Yingsleeve, Shen Yongjie, and Wan Concubine came to Queen Qi Xueyun's Changchun Hall together.

There were already seven or eight slim girls standing in front of the temple gate. They are all noble ladies invited by the queen this time.

Ying Sleeve saw Shen Yule standing there, and waved at her with a smile.

Shen Yule met her. hurriedly walked over, took her hand and said, "I'm finally waiting for you to come, come, let's go in together." ”

Ying sleeves responded, and entered the Jiuyi Hall of Queen Qi Xueyun with everyone.

The queen was glad to see them, and said, "Come, sit down." With that, the maid stepped forward and led them to a pre-arranged place to sit down.

Ying Sleeve and Shen Yule sat together, opposite Yuan Yinglan and Tang Haijia, as well as Zhang Zhenmiao.

Seeing that Zhang Zhenmiao was also here, Yingsleeve couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Yule.

It stands to reason that Zhang Zhenmiao, a concubine, is not eligible for this post.

But what Queen Qi Xueyun wanted to do, it was not their turn to put their beaks.

Soon, the palace maids rushed in with trays.

On the tray is a large bowl of yellow glazed blue and white double dragon play beads and lotus petals, which contains a bowl full of dumplings, there are always seventeen or eighteen, the soup is clear, and there are a few strands of verdant green onions, red dried shrimp, and seaweed.

Ying Sleeve looked at such a big bowl of dumplings and was full.

She frowned, stirred it with silver chopsticks, picked one out and took a bite, and put it down.

Shen Yule loves dumplings very much.

She looked thin, but she ate a lot.

It didn't take long for her to eat the dumplings in her bowl, and she looked at Yingsleeve with a stumbling eye and said, "Do you want to eat it too?" ”

Ying Sleeve smiled and scooped most of the dumplings in his bowl to Shen Yule.

Shen Yule smiled at her, and continued to bury his head in hardship.

Scold!

Her expression suddenly froze, she stood for a long time, turned her head to look at Yingsleeve, and whispered with a crying voice: "Oh no......"

"What's wrong?" Yingsleeve's heart sank.

Isn't there a problem with this dumpling?

These are her dumplings!

Was it for her?

Shen Yule shook his head, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said in a low and anxious voice: "No, yes...... It's this ......."

She opened her mouth slightly, showing Yingsleeve what was in her mouth.

Ying Sleeve saw a golden thing flickering between Shen Yule's snow-white teeth.

"What's that?"

"Little Jin Ruyi." Shen Yule's tears fell.

"Huh? How can you eat it? Ying Sleeve was also stunned.

Although she had not participated in the queen's dumpling banquet before, she also knew that one of these dumplings would contain a small Jin Ruyi.

Whoever can eat this Jin Ruyi means that she will definitely have good luck this year.

And this Jin Ruyi, for more than 30 years, has been eaten by Queen Qi Xueyun.

Now this year, the dumplings wrapped with Jin Ruyi are put in front of Yingsleeve.

But Yingsleeve didn't like to eat dumplings, and was finally eaten by Shen Yule.

"What can I do? The first time I entered the palace to participate in the dumpling banquet, I touched the queen's moldy head...... The queen already hates our Shen family......" Shen Yule was in tears, and Jin Ruyi Ke in her mouth had a toothache.

"It's okay, you throw it up." Yingsleeve pushed his big bowl over and blocked it in front of Shen Yule.

Shen Yule lowered his head and hid behind the two big bowls and spit out Jin Ruyi.

Yingsleeve hurriedly wrapped up the handkerchief, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while." ”

When she walked to the gate of the palace, she was stopped by the palace maid and asked her with a smile: "Where is Yingjun going?" ”

"I'm going to make it easier." Yingsleeve said with a smile, "I ate too much, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

"Lord Ying, come with me." The palace maid was busy leading the way.

Ying Sleeve stopped her, "No need. I've been here every day these days, and I'm already familiar with it. I went to change clothes in the palace of the concubine. ”

The palace maid knew that Yingsleeve entered the palace and rested at Wan Concubine, so she didn't insist and watched her leave.

Ying Sleeve knew that from the queen's Changchun Palace to the palace of Wan Concubine, she had to pass through the imperial dining room here.

Today's dumpling banquet was prepared by the imperial dining room of the Changchun Palace.

She walked for a while with her head down, felt it intently, and when she saw that there was no one around, she dodged and hid.

Then he took the path to the imperial dining room, planning to sneak in through the roof beam and throw Xiao Jin Ruyi into the pot.

When the eunuchs found out, they must have thought that the dumplings were broken, so Jin Ruyi fell out. Scoop it up and wrap another one for the queen, and it will be fine.

She walked all the way and found that there seemed to be very few people in the imperial dining room at this hour, and she felt a little strange in her heart, so she became more cautious.

Ying Sleeves tiptoed to the base of the wall of the imperial dining room, listened quietly, and saw that there were no idlers waiting around, so luck came out of it and jumped onto the beam of the imperial dining room.

The beams of the queen's imperial dining room are thick and high, which is very convenient for Tibetans.

Ying sleeve quietly moved on the beam, and soon found the cauldron where the dumplings were boiled.

There is no one here.

Ying Sleeve hurriedly took out Xiao Jin Ruyi, aimed at the big pot of cooking dumplings and threw it down.

There are still dumplings boiling in the pot, and Xiaojin Ruyi enters the water, and there is not even a splash.

Yingsleeve rubbed his hands proudly, and was about to turn away, but saw two eunuchs sneaking in.

One asks the other: "Is the dessert ready?" After eating the dumplings, it's time for dessert. ”

"Of course it's ready. Today is papaya snow clam bird's nest stewed autumn pear, which is the most nourishing yin and nourishing lungs. ”

"Okay, which bowl is for the second miss of the Shen family, have you made a mark?"

"It's done, it's the bowl."

"Okay, put this medicine in. Remember, send it over after a stick of incense, otherwise the medicinal properties will not be able to exert completely. ”

"No problem. I said Dazhu, was it really ordered by the queen's mother? It's not poison, is it? If something happens, I don't care, I must give you up. ”

"Don't worry! Even if the queen mother knew, she wouldn't squeak. In short, that person is no worse than the queen's mother. Besides, the queen is happy to see it, how can she punish us? Also, this is definitely not poison. I don't want to die yet! Besides, what did you do to poison the second miss of the Shen family? If you really want to poison it, I won't give it to that one? As he spoke, he poured his mouth into another bowl of Nunu.

Ying Sleeve remembered the location of the bowl, lay motionless on the beam, and watched the eunuch open a paper bag and carefully pour the medicine powder inside into Shen Yule's dessert bowl.

Although not close, Yingsleeve still smelled the medicine. -- That's a proper aphrodisiac!
