In the middle of the month, ask for a monthly pass

***

Ji Xiaotang got married, and he wore red makeup, shocking the capital. Even after many years, from the civil and military officials in the capital to the common people, when talking about this grand marriage, they still relish it.

On that day, Ji Xiaotang's dowry opened everyone's eyes, and the pomp of Anwangfu's marriage also attracted everyone's attention.

Qin Zhen spent a lot of effort in order to marry Ji Xiaotang. In this way, he showed the world that he attached great importance and affection to Ji Xiaotang, the princess, and at the same time showed his heart to Ji Xiaotang and the Ji family.

After the tedious marriage ceremony, Ji Xiaotang finally sat on the bed in the upper room of the Xuchun Hall, accompanied by the bride and others. When the idlers and miscellaneous people retreated, there were only Mama Cheng, Jin'er and Xiu'er who followed her to serve in the room, so Ji Xiaotang temporarily took off the hijab and took a breath.

The Xuchun Hall is the main house of the Anwang Mansion, and it is also the place where the princess of the Anwang Mansion lives and sees guests every day. Sitting in the Xuchun Hall, Ji Xiaotang could vaguely hear the faint sound of gongs and drums coming from the direction of the theater.

Her and Qin Zhen's wedding banquet is going on to a high ~ tide.

At this moment, Master Ji Er, Master Ji San, Qin Zhen and others were all eating and listening to the drama at the banquet.

The marriage ceremony between the prince and the princess is very cumbersome, since she went out in the morning and got into the sedan chair until now, Ji Xiaotang has not yet eaten water, even for her, she feels a little tired.

Mama Cheng is an experienced person, she looked left and right to see that there were no outsiders, so she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and came out.

Inside the veil was a piece of fruit and a piece of milk cake filled with bean paste. Both are things that Ji Xiaotang likes, which can not only satisfy hunger, but also moisten the mouth.

"It's still thoughtful." Ji Xiaotang smiled. Originally, she planned to smuggle some food with her, but Mrs. Ji Er and Mama Cheng did not allow it. How big is it for Wang An Mansion to marry the princess, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it everywhere, if Ji Xiaotang makes a little mistake, although it is harmless, it will inevitably leave a truth.

If you don't want to be talked about by people for years or even more than ten years, you can't make any mistakes.

Ji Xiaotang naturally understands the power. If she marries someone else, at her age, she will be said to be coquettish. But she married Prince An. will not be so tolerant of her than public opinion, and will not say that she is coquettish, but that she is too young and not solemn enough to be the concubine of King An.

No matter what happens behind the scenes. In front of people. She had to be an exemplary and impeccable princess.

Mama Cheng felt sorry for Ji Xiaotang and didn't allow her to steal food by herself, but secretly prepared something to eat for her.

Ji Xiaotang was about to take the food from Mama Cheng's hand, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the inner Chengfeng of the Wangfu Department came to ask to see him.

Before marrying in, Ji Xiaotang certainly had a detailed understanding of King An's Mansion and knew the general subordinate settings of King An's Mansion. This flattering division. is in charge of the lieutenant officials who serve in the palace, and the errand servants in it are naturally all lieutenant officials.

This is an inner flattery. It is the lieutenant who walks and waits in the inner courtyard.

I don't know what Nei Cheng is doing when he comes to the new house at this time, even if he wants to meet the princess, it's too early.

Thinking so, Ji Xiaotang nodded at Mama Cheng, and Mama Cheng went to the door and brought people in.

The one who came in was indeed a lieutenant, thirty or forty years old, holding a tray of vermilion lacquer dragon and phoenix in his hand, and four delicate bowls with the red glaze double happiness pattern of Jun kiln foundation on the tray.

He came forward to salute Ji Xiaotang, and introduced himself as the inner servant of the palace, who usually served in Qin Zhen's house, and his name was Wang Ruhai.

Wang Ruhai's name, Ji Xiaotang has heard of it. He introduced himself as an internal flattery, but Ji Xiaotang knew that he was actually the flattery of the palace flattery, who had served Qin Zhen in the palace since Qin Zhen was a child, and later came to the palace.

He is Qin Zhen's confidant, and he doesn't care if he is called Chengfengzheng in the palace, but wants to be called a big manager.

This title is not wrong, Wang Ruhai is indeed the chief manager of the affairs of the inner house for Qin Zhen.

"It was the prince's order, worried that the princess was hungry at this time, so I asked the servants to send some snacks to the princess." Wang Ruhai said respectfully.

Qin Zhen was very thoughtful, knowing that she would definitely be hungry at this time. Not only did he think thoughtfully, but he also deliberately sent Wang Ruhai away. For such a thing, just send a lieutenant or girl casually, but Wang Ruhai needs to come in person.

Qin Zhen is showing another attitude, to Ji Xiaotang, but also to the people in the palace.

"The prince was at the banquet at the back, and specially called the servants to come to him and order. Several kinds of snacks were also picked by the prince. If the princess has any other orders, even if she orders the servants, she will ask the kitchen to arrange for another. Wang Ruhai did not look up and continued to say respectfully.

Ji Xiaotang nodded to Mama Cheng.

Mama Cheng walked over, took the tray, and together with Jin'er and Xiu'er, put the bowls on the table in front of Ji Xiaotang.

When I opened the bowl, there were really a few exquisite dim sum, including bean paste soufflé, bone-soaked snails, crab shell yellow and goose fat rolls, both salty and sweet, although they are not rare, they are all Ji Xiaotang's usual favorites.

In addition to a few dim sums, there is also a cup of green water chestnut soup, which is not only in season, but also moist and fire-relieving, which is very suitable for Ji Xiaotang's current situation.

Even if Ji Xiaotang is a picky person, he can't help but be satisfied with Qin Zhen's arrangement.

"It's hard for the general manager to take this trip." Ji Xiaotang said to Wang Ruhai.

She didn't have any extra words, but Wang Ruhai's heart was relieved. Ji Xiaotang is satisfied.

Wang Ruhai smiled and asked Ji Xiaotang if he had any other instructions.

Ji Xiaotang motioned to Mama Cheng and rewarded Wang Ruhai generously, and then did not let him retreat, but asked a few questions casually. Wang Ruhai's question about Ji Xiaotang can be said to know everything, say everything, and answer very intimately.

is worthy of being the chief steward of the palace, and he has no matter how big or small the affairs of the palace are. It's all clear.

Ji Xiaotang also knew that Wang Ruhai must have been instructed by Qin Zhen and would not hide anything from himself. This is going to hand over all the affairs of the palace to her.

For Qin Zhen's arrangement, Ji Xiaotang had expected it.

Nodding secretly in his heart, Ji Xiaotang let Wang Ruhai retreat.

She had just entered the house, and although there were many things she needed to know, she was not in a hurry.

After sending Wang Ruhai away, Ji Xiaotang used half a cup of water chestnut soup and a few pieces of dim sum under the service of Mama Cheng, Jin'er and Xiu'er.

Slightly fills the stomach. Ji Xiaotang also recovered a little from exhaustion, looked at the remaining snacks, and knew that Mama Cheng hadn't eaten yet. Let a few of them share the food.

The master and servant did not stay alone for long, and soon, the new house was lively. Those who sit in the tent with the bride, and those who come to the new house to see the bride.

Such occasions. Of course, Zheng Gui is indispensable.

Today's Zheng Gui. It's a little different from the past, it's obviously extra decorated, and it's gorgeous and gorgeous, like a fairy concubine.

"Sister Xiaotang, I'm going to call my brother and sister in the future, but I still like to call Sister Xiaotang, so it's closer." Zheng Gui sat on the embroidery pier beside Ji Xiaotang. Holding one of Ji Xiaotang's hands, he looked at her.

Since Zheng Gui wants to call it that. It seems close, Ji Xiaotang has no objection.

"Sister Gui." Ji Xiaotang also called Zheng Gui a sister.

Zheng Gui smiled, and his smile was a little meaningful. In the past, when the two got along, Zheng Gui always called Ji Xiaotang as his sister, and asked Ji Xiaotang to call her his sister, but although Ji Xiaotang had a docile attitude, he had never called her like that.

Now, as Princess An, Ji Xiaotang is finally willing to call her sister.

"Although Sister Xiaotang is young, she is so calm and old-fashioned, even my sister sighs to herself." Zheng Gui said with a smile.

"Sister Gui likes to make fun of me." Ji Xiaotang also smiled and said.

Ji Xiaotang is so leaky, Zheng Gui is also used to it, and then he no longer uses words to tempt.

Zheng Gui didn't come alone, she also brought a side concubine from King Su's Mansion.

Wu Jiayan and Ji Xiaotang knew each other.

Zheng Gui and Ji Xiaotang were talking, and it was not the girls and grandmothers who served the tea towel next to them, but Wu Jiayan. Wu Jiayan seems to have done these things very skillfully, bowing his eyebrows in front of Zheng Gui, more respectful and obedient than the girls and grandmothers he serves.

Zheng Gui asked Wu Jiayan to salute Ji Xiaotang, and Wu Jiayan saluted Ji Xiaotang, but he didn't say anything.

Wu Jiayan didn't talk a lot originally, and he was also very eye-catching, but looking at Zheng Gui's eyes like this~ things, in Ji Xiaotang's opinion, it was still a bit too much. Even Wu Jiayan's temperament is not like this.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but think of those rumors about the flower fertilizer in the garden of King Su's Mansion, no matter what, one thing is certain, Princess Zheng Gui of Su is really good at teaching Princess Su a woman.

In addition to Wu Jiayan, Zheng Gui also brought a small guest.

Qin Yu, the youngest son of King Su's Mansion.

For the little prince of Su Wangfu, Ji Xiaotang has long been famous, but he has never had the opportunity to see it. This little prince is too expensive.

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui have been married for several years, plus other concubines in the palace, but they only gave birth to such a small imperial grandson. Qin Yu is not only the only heir of the Su Palace, but also the only little emperor grandson in the bloodline of the royal family.

Of course, this is not counting Emperor Longqing's eldest brother who was forgotten by everyone in a remote place.

The three brothers, Emperor Longqing, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, now have only such an heir, and they are also Zheng Guiyan, and the dignity of their identity can be imagined.

Even when Qin Lin and Zheng Gui were so good friends, Ji Xiaotang didn't have the opportunity to meet this little prince.

It is said that Xiao Shizi's health is not very good, and after the calculation of the heavenly master, there are some evasions, not to mention the outside, even in the palace, and he almost does not go.

Today, Zheng Gui brought Qin Yu to King An's Mansion.

When Ji Xiaotang saw Qin Yu for the first time, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

Qin Yu is six years old this year, white and clean, and traces of Qin Lin and Zheng Gui can be seen between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is a very likable-looking child. looks like this, when I grow up in the future, I don't know how many girls in the boudoir will become the dream lover of many girls.

Qin Yu is not fat, and he doesn't look strong, but his face is white and red, his eyes are extremely bright and black, and although he still has a milky voice when he speaks, his voice is very clear.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a weak and sickly child.

Qin Yu saluted Ji Xiaotang in a proper manner. Call her an aunt.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh secretly, although Qin Lin and Zheng Gui didn't let Qin Yu come out to meet people, they raised this child very well. Ji Xiaotang thought so. also said so, of course, she didn't mention that Qin Lin and Zheng Gui didn't let Qin Yu come out to meet people.

She thought that Qin Lin and Zheng Gui were just not letting Qin Yu see people casually, for Qin Yu's safety.

Qin Yu is too precious.

Listening to Ji Xiaotang's praise of Qin Yu, Zheng Gui was like all mothers, although he tried his best to cover it up. But it is inevitable that there is still a smug look on his face.

"Yu'er has been a fortune teller since she was a child, and there are many taboos about growing up safely. So I rarely take him out to meet people. However, today is the day of great joy for Prince An and Xiaotang's sister, there are no taboos, Lord Wang and I. all want Yu'er to meet his Aunt Xiaotang. ”

Tomorrow. Qin Zhen will take Ji Xiaotang into the palace, in addition to meeting the Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing, and Empress Han, he also wants to meet other clans. At that time, Qin Lin and Zheng Gui should also appear with Qin Yu and meet Ji Xiaotang.

Zheng Gui brought Qin Yu now, Ji Xiaotang thought, maybe tomorrow in the palace, she won't be able to see Qin Yu.

Zheng Gui took Qin Yu in front of Ji Xiaotang. Mama Cheng had already given Jin'er and Xiu'er a look, and the people serving in Ji Xiaotang's room took a few steps back without a trace. If it wasn't for Ji Xiaotang's summoning, he wouldn't go any further.

Ji Xiaotang himself also paid attention, if it was another child, so old and so cute, Ji Xiaotang would inevitably reach out and touch it, or simply hug it, but for Qin Yu, she didn't have such a thought.

It's not that he doesn't like Qin Yu, but he doesn't want Zheng Gui to be too careful.

praised Qin Yu a few words, and asked Qin Yu what book he was reading now, which gentleman he was studying with, and he didn't need Zheng Gui to say anything on the side, Qin Yu answered clearly by himself.

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui looked at Qin Yu very closely, but they would never delay his education, and invited a famous teacher and Confucian very early to enlighten Qin Yu.

Speaking of Qin Yu's reading, Zheng Gui seemed to be in love with the scene.

"Xiaotang has a younger brother, how old is he this year, I heard that he has started studying with Xiaotang and Master Ji? Xiaotang is like this, Xiaotang's younger brother must also be a prodigy. ”

Changsheng is three years old this year, and his family has not invited him to have a teacher, Ji Xiaotang and Ji Er have taken him with him, and they have already read "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Names" and "Sound Law Enlightenment", and they are also reciting "Three Hundred Poems".

However, Ji Xiaotang didn't think that Zheng Gui was just seeing the scene and having no purpose, so naturally he wouldn't tell the truth.

"Changsheng has just turned three years old this year, not yet the age of enlightenment, but he is just playing around and reciting some simple poems with me, and it is just some 'goose goose goose ......' and 'bright moonlight ...... in front of the bed'. Compared with Xiao Shizi, who was born smart, Changsheng's child is just ordinary. My father and mother have been married for many years, and only gave birth to such a son, which is destined to be reluctant to let him work hard. ”

Ji Xiaotang said this, Zheng Gui raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile was slightly complicated.

"Xiaotang is too humble, I am open to Xiaotang." As Zheng Gui spoke, a nurse came over next to him and carried Qin Yu to the bed~, and Ji Xiaotang sat beside him.

According to the custom in the capital, when the newlyweds get married, they will invite healthy and intelligent children to roll the bed to ask for a good omen of good birth and good fortune.

Zheng Gui told Ji Xiaotang that Qin Lin and she specially brought Qin Yu to ask Qin Yu to be the boy who rolled the bed for Ji Xiaotang.

How much Qin Lin and Zheng Gui attach importance to Qin Yu and how defensive they are against others, doing so shows how much they trust and value Ji Xiaotang.

Even now, Ji Xiaotang has become Princess An.

"Yu'er also wants to have a companion when she is studying, many families in Beijing want to send their children, but the prince and I don't value it, knowing that Xiaotang has a younger brother, and he is just the right age, so I want Xiaotang's younger brother to be a companion with Yu'er." Zheng Gui said her plan.

As the only and extremely noble little emperor's grandson, Qin Yu wants to find a companion to study, but he is afraid that many high-ranking officials and eunuchs will break their heads, and they all want their children to accompany Qin Yu to study.

Emperor Longqing still has no heirs, and his health is very bad. If this situation continues, it is necessary to select someone from the clan to inherit the throne.

Whether it is from the perspective of intimacy, elder and younger, or from the consideration of the noble and low, Qin Yu is the best candidate.

Accompanying Qin Yu to study is almost equivalent to accompanying the future prince to study.

Ji Xiaotang became Princess An, but Qin Lin and Zheng Gui still asked her younger brother Changsheng to be Qin Yu's companion, and they couldn't wait to mention it on the day Ji Xiaotang got married.

However, for Qin Lin and Zheng Gui's hospitality, Ji Xiaotang is destined to be unacceptable.

Without taking into account the issue of position, she did not want her brother to be involved.

Isn't all the decisions she made, and all the sacrifices she made, just to protect her family, if she accepted Qin Lin and Zheng Gui's suggestions, she would go against her original intention.

Ji Xiaotang politely declined Zheng Gui.

"Changsheng is too young and pampered, let's see ...... two years later......"

Instead of saying it to death, she used a procrastination.

Zheng Gui was not satisfied with such an answer, but he did not show it. When Qin Lin discussed this matter with her, he had already foreseen such an outcome.

Ji Xiaotang is really too difficult to deal with, this trick can't work, so he can only think of other ways.

Qin Yu sat next to Ji Xiaotang, although he was young, he was well-behaved, Ji Xiaotang could see that he was curious about many things, but he could control himself, not much looking, let alone stretching out his hand.

But after all, he is only a six-year-old child, and in Ji Xiaotang's eyes, many of his thoughts are very obvious.

What aroused Qin Yu's curiosity was mostly the novelties that Master Ji San brought back from overseas.

“…… Uncle brought back some gadgets from overseas, which was also interesting, and gave Changsheng a copy, and I also had a copy, which I originally planned to give to Yu'er, but I never got the chance. (To be continued.) )
