Chapter 103
One hundred and three
Under the high pressure of Xiao Hongcheng, Qin Tianjian resisted the pressure of turning against the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and set the time of the crown prince's wedding to the third day of the fifth month of the fifth year of Xihe.
March 20 is the Birthday Day, and June 16 is the wedding of the three princes that has been set a long time ago.
This is the crown prince's wedding! It's not the same as the ordinary prince's gift, just the crown prince and the princess's wedding dress, wedding dress, golden crown, etc., where did they do it in half a year, bastard!
Xu Shangshuqi's illness was cured, and the next day he sat in a sedan chair, went to King Shen to fight in the ring, and opened his mouth to say: "According to the rule, the clothes and accessories of the crown prince and the crown princess should be made by the internal affairs office." ”
"Come on, come on, Lao Xu, sit and sit, we have an old friendship, you don't need to be so one-eyed, what are you doing with such a straight face? Come sit down and taste this snow skin lotus cake, our eldest daughter just sent it yesterday, not that I like to show off, this is an exclusive secret recipe, made by my mother's hand, the emperor is the only one, other people are here, I still refuse to take it out! ”
King Shen greeted him with a relaxed face, not at all stressed, Xu Shangshu said: "I'm in a hurry to go to the room, and the prince doesn't have anything to do at all." This is the prince's wedding, it's only the second time since the beginning of this dynasty, and now it's not seven months, how to do it! ”
King Shen smiled: "Aren't all other things being prepared?" What age is the prince, I don't believe that your Ministry of Rites didn't think of this, and didn't prepare in advance, although because I don't know who the princess of Ludao is, I can't make dresses, etc., but other things must have been prepared a long time ago, and now I am worried about the golden crown of the big wedding dress, Lao Xu, you can rest assured, just hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs! What a big deal! ”
Xu Shangshu looked suspicious, he had the intention to fight in the ring, but he didn't expect it to be so easy and simple, he thought he had heard it wrong! Shen Wang Ye is out of tune with Ming'er, don't do it badly, this time the son promised to come down, he couldn't take it out when he turned around, and he pushed it to the Ministry of Rites, but he couldn't afford such a crime.
King Shen looked at Xu Shangshu's expression and couldn't help snickering: "These words are really arrogant, it's really a blessing for the prince!" ”
King Shen pulled Xu Shangshu and chattered for a long time, and when he saw that the box was sent outside, he smiled and said: "Old Xu, you see, this prince and princess each have a set of big dresses, three sets of small dresses, three sets of wedding dresses, twelve sets of regular clothes, all here, as well as gold crowns, jade crowns, bead crowns, etc., you are an expert, see if there is anything wrong, if not, send it to the prince and Jing and the eldest princess's mansion to try on." ”
Xu Shangshu's little eyes have never been so big in his life, this and this...... When was it made? What's going on with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Seventeen or eighteen boxes and boxes, the subordinates opened them one by one, the big red dazzling eyes, Xu Shangshu carefully looked at the materials, embroidery, accessories, inside and out, there was indeed no mistake, just: "How could the Internal Affairs Office prepare these in advance?" And the prince is gone, where did the size of the crown princess come from? ”
King Shen said: "Lao Xu, think about it, am I such a person who doesn't know how to measure? Even if I know that this year, at the latest next year, the prince will have to give marriage, but the holy decree has not been issued for a day, I don't dare to move, this is the prince himself ordered me to prepare, that is, the size of the princess and the princess, it is also given by the prince, what the prince said, the meaning is many, this size is now, to that day, maybe it will be longer, you do it this time, you have to prepare for it. ”
Xu Shangshu is also an old and refined character, and when he glanced at King Shen, he knew that there were many meanings of this matter, and the candidate for the crown princess had obviously been decided, and the prince knew it very well.
It's not good to say much about this, the two of them don't know what is in the road, but after reading the clothes and crowns, etc., and discussed it again, King Shen personally sent the prince's clothes to the palace, and the Ministry of Rites sent the princess's clothes to Jinghe's eldest princess's mansion to try them on.
This means that since October, the crown prince's wedding ceremony has been in full swing.
At the same time, some news in the imperial capital also spread, because the prince gave marriage, the concubine Wu in the East Palace was jealous, angered the prince, and there were rumors of falling out of favor.
The royal gossip has always been the favorite of the provinces to discuss secretly, and it is also the fastest to circulate, Concubine Wu's own uncle was transferred from Jiangnan Weaving to the Li Fan Academy, Concubine Wu's mother twice handed a post to the palace to visit was also refused, and after the most reluctance, Lin Ge's old wife came forward in person, only to enter the palace, and saw Concubine Wu in the East Palace.
It is said that some words were quietly passed on to the sisters by the maid of the Lin family, and I don't know how the Tao spread to the entire imperial capital, I heard that the prince was really angry, and he didn't go to Yuheyuan for half a month, Mrs. Lin entered the palace and saw her granddaughter, her face was yellow, her crying eyes were a little red and swollen, and she was very remorseful.
Mrs. Lin had to teach her the way to serve the prince and the princess respectfully, to be respectful and frugal, but the foreign wife always had to go away, and Mrs. Lin couldn't.
After a few days, the prince finally came to Yuheyuan again, Concubine Wu knelt down to ask for sin, wept bitterly and said that he was remorseful, the prince thought that Concubine Wu was poisoned because of him, and the heir was so difficult, and he couldn't bear it, so he pardoned Concubine Wu's sin, just to apply for it.
Whether it is the actual situation or rumors and gossip, they are all summarized in Zhou Baolu's hands.
That day, after Xiao Hongcheng coerced Zhou Baolu to take care of his harem, but on the third day, there was a five-person team that was handed over to Zhou Baolu, this time Xiao Hongcheng did not tease his daughter-in-law, but said very seriously: "To do things, manpower is the first step." These are the people I have brought out, and you can use them with confidence, I have already commanded them. ”
So now, in addition to Sakura, who has a tailwind, Zhou Baolu finally has another news channel.
Every word Mrs. Lin said in the palace was in Zhou Baolu's hands, Zhou Baolu looked at it for a while, frowned, thought about it again, and sent the girl in this group to contact the princess's mansion and the East Palace, called Xue Zhu'er: "The Wu family looks a little strange, go back and check the affairs of the Wu family's back house, especially the wife and concubine of Concubine Wu's father." ”
Xue Zhu'er was probably really a person trained by Xiao Hongcheng, with an expressionless face, and when she saw that Zhou Baolu had no words to order, she retreated.
In the past few months, Zhou Baolu has not gone out at all, she feels that the identity of the prospective crown princess is quite embarrassing to walk outside, it is better to simply wait at home to get married, horizontal and vertical royal greeting, cumbersome and grand, especially effortless, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Internal Affairs always come and go, all the salutes, all send envoys to hold the festival, such as the emperor's big wedding ceremony.
Just waiting to be married, it's already very troublesome.
Lian Xihe has not had a good year in the fifth year, out of the first month, it is the birthday of the eldest princess Jinghe, it has been a busy day, and before dinner, Zhou Baolu rested, Aunt Gu walked in and said with a smile: "The eldest lady has worked hard today." ”
Behind him, the nurse hugged Zhou Baoyan, who was about to turn a year old, babbling and dancing.
Zhou Baolu smiled: "Auntie is here, sit." ”
Aunt Gu naturally followed the busy day today, although the Chen family had returned, but because of her frailty, all the affairs of Zhilan Courtyard were still taken care of by Aunt Gu, she was happy at this time, and she couldn't see the slightest tiredness.
She is a smart person, and she knew from the beginning that she had the opportunity to approach Zhou Jilin because of Lu, how she entered the door, and what she carried her in.
The daughter of a criminal minister, it is already a blessing in misfortune to be able to get such an opportunity to become the concubine of the grandfather of the country, and she naturally knows how to cherish it.
And in the past two years, she has seen the status of the Chen family, the status of Zhou Jilin and Zhou Anming, Aunt Gu is very glad that she has been arranged by Zhou Anming from the beginning, and then marked the mark of the Chen family, she vaguely feels that in this family, from top to bottom, in fact, they are stammering the Chen family without a trace, and now, the happy event of the eldest lady has made the influence of the Chen family in this family more obvious.
Except for her husband Zhou Jilin.
But it doesn't matter, Aunt Gu knows that in this family, Zhou Jilin's words don't count, Aunt Gu serves the master mother more and more respectfully, that is the sister of the Chen family, and does not intend to dominate her because of her weakness and confusion, it seems that she has held the master mother hostage, and she has the illusion that she can control the authority of this courtyard.
That's just self-deception, Aunt Wang's fate is clear enough, what is Auntie? As long as the power is there, the aunt will have as many as she wants, and the same will be true for the aunt who will give birth to a son.
The eldest lady is not a foolish person, and she can even be said to be shrewd, but she is also a generous person, she supports her and does what she asks, and the eldest lady will never treat herself badly.
Aunt Gu was glad that she stood firmly in the place where she was standing from beginning to end, and now she saw that the eldest lady flew on the branch, and her identity became more and more valuable.
After a few words of gossip, Aunt Gu smiled and said: "Today is the princess's big day, I shouldn't have said such a frustrating thing, but I didn't dare to drag it out, Aunt Wang has been sick for the past two years, and it is getting worse and worse, and now even people are confused. It's just that things are over today, I think, in the future, it will be more and more a happy day for the eldest lady, in case Aunt Wang is not good, and she will be more and more unlucky at home, not to mention anything else, that is, the princess knows the way, but I am afraid that I don't like it. Why don't you finish the two days and move to Zhuangzi in a hurry, and change places? ”
Since Aunt Gu came to the door, with her pampering and firmly controlling the door, Aunt Wang couldn't see Zhou Jilin at all, even if Zhou Jilin occasionally remembered to go and see, Aunt Gu also had all kinds of tricks to stop her, and then Aunt Gu opened her face to a few stunning maids to serve Zhou Jilin, as time went by, Zhou Jilin forgot about this person more and more, that is, when she remembered, Aunt Gu only replied that she was seriously ill, so she invited a doctor, and Zhou Jilin left it behind.
In this battle of aunts with strong walls and clear fields, Zhou Baolu watched from beginning to end, without interfering, Aunt Gu obviously knows very well, no matter how good you are at pleasing you, how good at crying, how good at flattering, you will never let you see people, you will have no place to use.
Coupled with the fresh and tender young girl's pet, step by step, Aunt Wang was moved from the house to the garden, and now to the Zhuangzi, and from then on, there is no such person as Aunt Wang in this house.
Zhou Baolu smiled and nodded: "People want to get sick, such a thing, you can't bear it because I have a good thing, but my aunt is also worried, when the old ancestor is rejoicing, if she reports a frustrated letter, it will disturb her old man's interest, and my aunt will go back to the big housekeeper, saying that it is my mother's words, Aunt Wang is very sick, and she will be sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate." ”
Aunt Gu responded with a smile, and said some common words, and was about to retire.
Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "My mother is not in good health, and my father is also in a hurry. If my aunt has anything to do in the future, just come to me, it was a family, as long as the family is good, what can't be considered? ”
Aunt Gu smiled, Zhou Baolu was willing to admit her love, she was satisfied, and said with a smile: "How dare you be a concubine, serving the prince and his wife, it is the concubine's internal affairs." ”
Zhou Baolu smiled and nodded, Aunt Gu is a smart person, and she has something to ask for, and she can rest assured that she will leave her mother in this courtyard when she goes out of the cabinet in the future.
Zhou Baolu said: "My aunt is a careful person, and I can trust it, in the future, when I am in the palace, I can always rest assured that I will have my aunt serving by my mother's side, right?" ”
Aunt Gu is overjoyed, the eldest lady is willing to let go of this word and give her this opportunity, that is, she can be trusted and can be used by the eldest lady, and with the eldest lady's person, she will definitely not be used in vain!
Aunt Gu immediately knelt down and said sincerely: "If it weren't for Mrs. and Miss Gu that day, I would still be outside now, there would be no place for me to stand in this house, Mrs. and Miss Lady's great kindness, the concubine will never forget, the eldest lady just rest assured, the concubine is in this house for a day, naturally she will serve Mrs. respectfully and know her duty." ”
Zhou Baolu smiled and nodded, and rewarded her with twenty taels of silver: "Although the jewelry is better, but if you sell it, you will lose your identity, and the price will fall, I know that your brother is in school, and when you want to use the money, it is better to give you silver, your brother is outside, I have asked someone to take care of it, you just rest assured." ”
Aunt Gu kowtowed gratefully to thank her.
It was enough to pinch her brother, and Zhou Baolu felt that smart people didn't need to be beaten.
Zhou Baolu's biggest concern was solved, and the days quickly entered May, and the wedding day came.
This is the day that Xiao Hongcheng has been looking forward to for several years, and the closer to this day, the more difficult it is for Xiao Hongcheng to control his emotions, even when his face is expressionless, he occasionally touches the corners of his mouth, and he always can't help but there.
On the third day of the fifth month, the city is full of colors, the crown prince Xiao Hongcheng went out of the palace in a dress at an auspicious time, and changed the car in front of the palace gate, and the officials of the East Palace followed him in court clothes and went to the palace of the eldest princess to marry the princess.
The author has something to say: it is necessary to say two more words.
I don't read much, I really didn't find this problem, it turns out that many readers are already making up for the target stalk of Concubine Wu's pet concubine in their brains. This one...... It seems to be a Taiwanese stalk a long time ago, right? Does Xi Juan have a book that is this stalk? I vaguely remember.
But my logic, pampering = power = crushing, so most of the time, pampering is the guarantee for the person you love, to be decent, valued, to give her a high status, is to ensure her safety, this point, when Da Chengzi wrote a letter to Zhou Baolu in Jiangnan, it has been discussed very clearly. It's like what day was Ah Wu when he was a talented person, and what day was he when he was a queen, what was the concubine of the previous dynasties trying to please the emperor? Could it be that it was to be a target?
Of course, there is such a thing as deliberately showing weakness, but it certainly does not happen very often, but only at certain special times.
Now Concubine Wu is the prince's favorite concubine, of course, because it is useful to let her be a favorite concubine now, and she is stupid and credulous, so she can attract Concubine Qing to make a move, this is not a copy of Xiaolu, so I just wrote two conversations, I thought I had expressed it very clearly!
As for the status and arrangement of Concubine Wu after Xiaolu entered the palace, I won't spoil it. Big Orange loves the fawn so much, why does everyone always refuse to believe Big Orange?
