Chapter 308: Flowers Bloom
On the first day of July in the first year of the Xi Dynasty, the first day of the change of dynasty of the Jing Dynasty.
Emperor Jing held a large court meeting in the outer court, and Empress Xu in the inner palace was accepting the worship of foreign women with a dignified motherly ceremony.
If you miss it, according to the old system of the Chen Dynasty, the queen will have to gather the day of the foreign woman on such a large scale, and it will have to be the winter solstice. Therefore, all the women who have a rank in the family, regardless of age or age, have the strength to climb and climb.
Many of the noble ministers secretly mentioned their own mothers and wives.
Xiao Rui, the founding emperor of the Jing Dynasty, was accustomed to stinky problems since he was young, and it was obvious that the son of the family who was eating Zhong Ming Ding was like a ruffian, and the men in the court were negligent in etiquette, and most of them would be passed by His Majesty the Emperor with a blind eye.
But Queen Xu, who was born in a scholarly background, is different, and she must be careful to abide by the rules. If you are virtuous, you will make a great contribution to the family.
Shaoyang Palace, for a time, the hairpin dress shined brightly, and the floating incense was swaying in the meantime.
It's just that except for the crown princess who was casually sealed by the crown prince, the sons of Emperor Jing have not yet been titled, so that their wives are all simple and neatly embroidered Zhai Qingyi, and Wu Yaya's hair feathers are humbly only inserted into six tians.
The ladies who were familiar with the rules did not pick on the impropriety of these young women, and looked at their smiling faces one by one, full of summer flowers.
And Zhou Manyun, who is mixed in it, is even more eye-catching. After the Hajj was over, the officials and wives who came and went in front of her were like flowing water, and they did not stop.
There were a few silver-haired elderly ladies who caringly held her little hands, kind and kind, and carefully inquired about the news of Manyun's grandmother Xie in Jiangnan.
How to answer? Man Yun's face showed a slight embarrassment. Immediately, there was a spiritual sense to divert the topic. When it comes to illness on such days, it is purely moldy.
The conversation went around how well-behaved Man Yun was in Beijing back then, and she could only put on a confused and stupid expression.
What do you say? The ladies who looked at each other were a little embarrassed.
After a few more brainstorms, someone finally slapped his palm and smiled at Man Yun: "If Mrs. Liang Guo hadn't rushed back to Yanzhou." The concubine and others can still see her heroism today! ”
On June 28, on the same day as the crown prince's canonization, the holy decree was issued, and the lady of Liang Guo was none other than Manyun's maternal grandmother, Mrs. Mo Zhi. As soon as the lady received the order, she rushed back to Yanzhou and did not stay long.
"Mrs. Liang Guo supervised Yanzhou, plus the rank of general of Fuyuan. Even if there is a Luojing today. I also went to the outer court to attend the court meeting. A cold female voice interjected, and she squeezed everyone's arms away and grabbed Man Yun's wrist directly.
The woman who was pushed away from behind was only stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled at the arrogant female crown in Tsing Yi.
At this time, there will be unruly women in the Shaoyang Palace, and there is only Xiao Wan, the eldest princess of the Jing Dynasty.
The eldest princess, who dragged her younger sister-in-law away, was chic and free, but it made several Qin family women in the crowd staring at her back slightly embarrassed.
Xiao Wan, who claimed to be a monk, got the Qin family's letter of harmony a few days before she was still in the Chen Dynasty.
The crown prince Xiao Ze led people to rush into Qin's house and killed several of Qin Yu's beautiful concubines, pointing out that they were from Tianxiang, and even found several specious evidence of collaborating with the enemy. looks like he wants to send his brother-in-law directly to the division for disposal.
Qiang Liang's behavior is unacceptable, so Xiao Wan has been begging for the book of separation so easily, and even the date of three years ago is written on the paper that day when the ink has not dried.
Although it was too late for Xiao Wan, who had already become a monk, a book came too late, but it still bridged some of the rifts in the relationship between sisters and brothers.
But now, Xiao Wan and her mother can't get together anymore.
"Mother...... The woman named Huixin who followed the queen mother had already recorded a file in the palace and became a female official of the Shang Shan Division. She is determined to protect that Tianxiang girl. ”
Xiao Wan paused guiltily, gritted her teeth and said, "I also rushed to ask my father." Dad said that his mother confessed to death. She told him personally that now the people who use drugs in the DPRK and China, such as Xu Ne, Lu Shou and others, are all around the sixth brother. She kept a poisonous one by her side. It's just for her and for the sake of her eldest brother. ”
"That's it!" , Zhou Manyun's mouth shape was in a circle, showing surprise.
As for the reason why Empress Xu will stay in Hui's heart, she can guess that eight or nine are not far from ten. was surprised that Xiao Rui, who became the emperor, was so open-mouthed in front of his eldest daughter.
"She has been biased towards her eldest brother since she was a child. It was as if everyone was afraid that they would hurt him. So don't take it to heart. Xiao Wan hesitated, and then asked slightly shyly: "Can you not talk about it." Don't talk to Xiaoliu! ”
"Hmm!" , Man Yun nodded honestly and guiltily.
She and Xiao Hong know much more than Xiao Wan, but she hasn't explained it to her eldest sister, so she is still a little embarrassed.
I muttered for a while in private, listening to the banquet. The two women, who were not very happy with socializing, entered the temple with their arms crossed.
In the midst of the staggering, Man Yun's gaze couldn't help but glance at a scarlet-clothed palace woman behind Hou Xu.
If Hui Xin's poison technique is just ordinary. But on that day, she could hear the clues and decisively abandon her teacher and surrender to Empress Xu's courage, but Man Yun admired it very much.
It is not a good thing for such a woman to stay with Empress Xu. But she is now the body of Empress Xu's own person, and if she kills her rashly, it will inevitably cause a backlash from Empress Xu.
And listening to Xiao Wan's words, His Majesty the Emperor made concessions to Empress Xu.
Zhou Manyun's eyes were calm, staring at the wine bottle in front of him, and his mind was full of twists.
The thoughts outside the spirit and the actions that rose with the crowd were not contradictory, and Zhou Manyun, who was mixed in the pile of concubines, still followed the team smoothly, holding a bottle of water, and knelt respectfully in front of Empress Xu.
Hui Xin, who was standing behind Xu Hou, didn't know what to say to her master, Xu Hou nodded with a smile of relief, and let her arrange.
A beautiful woman in palace costume walked up to the crown princess Qin with a smile and the pot in her hand, and said humbly: "Your Royal Highness the crown princess, this bottle is the queen's birthday, and she wants to be perfect, and the slave maid will add some more for you?" ”
The crown princess smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand higher.
A pool of amber liquor is poured into the glass.
The next few concubines naturally follow the same example, and they are as good as flowing.
"Huh?!", the steps of the maid who poured the wine stopped in front of Zhou Manyun, and there was a faint astonishment in her eyes.
Hui Xin, who was beside Empress Xu, curled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly. At the banquet, Man Yun only quietly avoided drinking water, and did not escape her eyes at all.
"Queen Mother! The daughter-in-law has water in the cup, so it's not good to add more! On the verge of arrows, Zhou Manyun simply blushed and revealed the facts.
Xu Hou's face was slightly stunned, and she could hear the soft and glutinous response below, full of shyness.
"My daughter-in-law has just become pregnant, but she doesn't dare to drink."
Man Yun's voice was not high, but it was like a stone hitting the waves, and a buzzing sound like a response suddenly sounded above the main hall.
Xiao Wan rushed over in three steps and two steps, leaned down and dragged Man Yun's arm like a worried old mother, and shouted directly: "Queen Mother! Be most careful at the beginning of pregnancy, or let your younger siblings get up first! ”
Zhou Manyun shook his head at her gently.
"Man Yun, you didn't say it earlier!" , Empress Xu on the phoenix throne glared with disgust, but she left her seat with a smile and walked forward slowly......
The news that the wife of the sixth prince was pregnant caused a wave of congratulations in the main hall, and the noblewoman who was kind enough to say three or two sentences praised this emperor and grandson of the Jing Dynasty to the end.
If so, who wants to be so high-profile? Man Yun, who originally wanted to hide the affairs of his abdomen for nearly three months as much as possible, sighed in his heart, and bowed his head shyly amid everyone's congratulations.
There is nothing wrong with the wine to be added. All she asked for was confirmation that she was pregnant. No matter how strong the poison is, a woman with a body should never touch the poison again.
Huixin, who was hiding far away in the crowd, also smiled happily with everyone.
Not long after, news came in from the outer court.
The Great Dynasty, which has been entangled for several hours, has achieved results, and the princes of the Xiao family have been knighted.
The most eye-catching is the sixth prince Xiao Hong.
Feng Yan Wang, the domain is divided into three states of Youyan Yun. Leaving Youzhou behind, Yunzhou is the land of Longxing, and Yanzhou is the ancestral land of the Xiao family......
Now, there are more and more women surrounding Manyun Daoxi.
Flowers brocade, fire cooking oil, nothing more than this. (To be continued......)
