Chapter 60: Before My Aunt Arrives
Rongwang's Mansion
"Yanrong, you try this dress first, it's light and luxurious, it's not gorgeous, the color is mainly light tone, and it just matches my one." At night, when Yan Yan was about to go to bed, Nangong Li came with a suit of clothes.
"This, I have to go to the morning court tomorrow, I have to wear court clothes, and I will change into it when I come back, okay?" Yan Rong refused with a face.
"It's not good, my aunt will arrive in the palace tomorrow, she is in the palace, this king will naturally go too, you as Princess Rong also have to accompany you, how can you have time to change your clothes!" Nangong Li said.
"Then I'll put my clothes on the inside, and I'll put on the court clothes on the outside, and I'll take them off when I get off the court." Yan Rong thought for a while and said.
"You're just different from others, it's just that you'll talk about it tomorrow!" Nangong Li snatched the clothes back from Yan Rong's hands and left angrily.
Following
"Ministers, what else is going on?" The emperor also seemed very happy today.
"Back to the emperor, the minister wants to take three days off." The prime minister stepped forward and said.
"Prime Minister Rong is in trouble, is he not feeling well?" The emperor asked.
"The minister has nothing to do, but yesterday the minister's dog returned to Beijing, so many years, the old minister has not seen the dog a few times, thinking of taking this opportunity to ask the emperor for a favor, take a three-day vacation, and let the old minister enjoy the joy of family."
"I also heard about it, but I haven't had time to summon Rong Zhi to visit the palace, this kid, I like it in my heart, even more than these sons of mine." The emperor said with a smile.
"Father and Emperor Rong love the eldest prince, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, now that the eldest princess returns to Beijing, it is better to invite the prime minister's mansion to come to the palace to gather, one to catch the wind for the eldest princess, and the other to wash the dust of the eldest princess, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Nangong Yu said.
"It's still the prince who thinks thoughtfully, I agreed, the prime minister's family banquet today, everyone in the prime minister's mansion must come, and they are not allowed to shirk." The emperor said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, how honored it is for the deacon to be able to pick up the wind and wash the dust with the eldest princess, or let the old minister go back and eat at home." Prime Minister Rong refused.
"The queen is still in the harem, and the prime minister's visit here is also a family banquet, do you still have to push back the family party?" Nangong Yu continued.
"This, the old minister has no such intention, since this is the case, the old minister brazenly took his wife and children to the palace banquet." The prime minister had no choice but to give up.
"Very good."
"General. General, don't go. Yan Rong was in a trance and heard someone shouting behind him, so he stopped and saw behind him.
"Father-in-law Fuxiu, is there something to do with General Ben?" Yan Rong asked.
"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the slave to invite you to the East Palace, and His Royal Highness King Rong is also waiting there." Fuxiu said.
"To the East Palace? Nangong Li is also there? Yan Rong thought that Nangong Li was still waiting for him at home.
"Yes, the general, the prince is afraid that you will run home as soon as you go to the court, and the special servants are waiting for the general here, so I don't hurry up to catch up with the general." Fuxiu said breathlessly.
"There is Father-in-law Lao, then let's go!" After Yan Rong finished speaking, he changed to the direction of going to the East Palace.
East Palace
"General Yan has arrived."
Yan Rong walked into the hall, and the room where there was still a sound suddenly fell silent, Yan Rong knew that the crown princess was also sitting on the side at this time, and Yan Rong could clearly feel the gaze of his eyes.
"Yan Rong, why did you come, this king has been here for a long time." Nangong Li said. After Nangong Li finished speaking, he stood up and pulled Yan Rong to his seat.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Yan Rong still saluted.
"Xiao Rong doesn't have to be polite, I think Xiao Li has something to tell Xiao Rong!" Nangong Yu said.
"I also hope that the eldest brother can give a house and let Yan Rong change into this dress, so that he can see his aunt!" Nangong Li picked up the clothes he was carrying from behind him and handed them to Yan Rong.
"You really brought it, can I not wear it?" Yan Rong still refused.
"Xiao Rong, Xiao Li is also thinking about you, aunt must be here The most important thing is to see this princess of Prince Rong, if you wear a court dress on your body, it will not look good!" Nangong Yu also persuaded on the side.
"This garment was embroidered by the king looking at those embroiderers, and it has been changed in some places with large skirts and cuffs, and you must be as different as you think when you wear it." Nangong Li actually explained to Yan Rong in a good-natured manner.
"Okay, I'll go change it." Yan Rong thought that Nangong Li was already angry yesterday, but he didn't expect the eldest princess to have a big impact, he worked so hard, he also wanted to give his aunt a good explanation, what reason did he have not to change it.
Yan Rong was led by the palace maid to the side hall to change clothes, and there were three more people left in the hall at this time.
"King Rong is getting better and better to the general now, and the prince was worried about the two of you before, but now it seems that worrying is superfluous." The crown princess opened her mouth and said.
"Then the crown princess doesn't mean that she can't look down on us husband and wife, okay!" Nangong Li didn't look at the crown princess, but took a sip of tea and said.
"How can it be, it's just that I envy General Yan." The crown princess was embarrassed for a moment, but her face changed for a moment and she recovered.
"Envious faces? Envy her for putting on armor, envy her for coming out of the pile of dead, or envy her for watching the people around her leave one by one? Crown Princess, you are really wrong to envy your face! Nangong Li said even more excessively.
"He'er, Xiaorong's injuries and sufferings are something that ordinary people can't feel, as a general, not only to protect yourself, but also to protect the people around you, when everyone loses their sense of proportion, she is the only backbone, anyone can fall, but she can't." Nangong Yu interjected.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, General Yan's bitter He'er understands that He'er's father is the same." Su He had already pulled down the corners of his mouth obviously, probably because his body had not recovered well, and the whole person was slightly crooked on the chair, unable to lift his spirits, and he was even more deprived of spirit after being choked by Nangong Li.
"Xiao Li, He'er is not in good health, you don't have to say a word, I'm going to see my aunt later, your temper is not restrained, see if my aunt will talk about you." Nangong Yu saw that the two of them stopped talking, and he could only reconcile the scene.
"My aunt loves my eldest brother, because my eldest brother is obedient, I am used to being told by my aunt, and I am not afraid." Nangong Li said.
"I'm afraid ....." Nangong Li said after glancing at the military hat that Yan had taken off, but he didn't finish speaking.
"How?" Just when everyone was quiet, Yan Rong had already changed his clothes and walked over. If this is a woman's service, it is better to say that it has both the elegance and softness of a woman's service, as well as the sassiness and refinement of a man. The skirt has shrunk a lot, so it won't step on the skirt, the sleeves are not so wide, and there is a shy pear blossom waiting to be put at the waist design, which is extremely light in color, which does match Nangong Li's piece very well.
"It is worthy of the embroidery girl chosen by this king, this craft is good, I didn't expect you and me to be about the same size, I see that you are very strong, but there is not much meat on your body!" Nangong Li admires his own masterpieces.
"If you go to the barracks for a month of exercise, you will be more in shape." Yan Rong said.
"Phew, this king won't go to that kind of place, don't wear this dress to the barracks, so that you can damage the flying soil again."
"Such a delicate garment seems to be suitable for wearing now." Yan Rong didn't think that this dress was inappropriate, Nangong Li was already very attentive, and he didn't love women's clothes, but this one was different from others.
"Okay, let's go about to go, calculate the time, my aunt should be there soon." Nangong Yu's eyes were also shocked, but he quickly hid it.
"By the way, why do you want all the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come?" Yan Rong asked Nangong Yu before leaving.
"Explore the details of Rong Zhi, besides, sooner or later we have to meet, my father attaches great importance to Rong Zhi, and I have to hold a banquet for Rong Zhi if I want to come, it is better to obey my father's wishes, you can rest assured, it will be fine."
"I'm not worried about what will happen, after all, in the palace, under the emperor's nose, the prime minister will still be restrained."
"Yan Rong, you don't want to keep up quickly, it's too late for a while, who is it." Nangong Li shouted in front, and Yan Rong sped up his pace and left.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine will go with you." The crown princess walked up, wrapped her arms around Nangong Yu and said.
"He'er, I'm worried about your body, my aunt will be considerate, you still stay in the palace with peace of mind, don't go anywhere, it's hard to sit here this morning, go drink some soup and recuperate." Obviously, Nangong Yu's voice was extremely gentle, but Su He felt like a knife, and the knife was stuck in his heart.
"In this case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should also drink less alcohol, which is not good for his health."
"Okay." Nangong Yu left after speaking.
Su He looked at Nangong Yu, who was gradually leaving, and finally shed tears, Lian'er hurriedly walked over and supported her master.
By the time the three of them arrived, the queen mother was already sitting in front of the hall, and the concubines were still here.
"Meet the Queen." The trio saluted.
"Hurry up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Rong and General Yan actually came together? It's really a good relationship between the three of them. The queen said with a smile.
"One piece met, and it came, the queen is very happy today!" Nangong Yu said.
"This doesn't welcome the eldest princess, the emperor is happy, and the palace is naturally happy." The queen said with a smile.
"Yes, in this hall, except for Sister Xia with a low face, who is not happy!" The concubine said on the side.
"The concubine is smiling extremely happily, but today's events may have nothing to do with the concubine!" Yan Rong said.
"Xiaorong." Nangong Yu stopped with a smile, nodded slightly at the concubine, and let Yan Rong and Nangong Li sit down. Nangong Li had no choice but to withdraw the hand he wanted to pull Yan Rong from.
"General Yan, today is to welcome the eldest princess, but you don't wear palace clothes, and you don't even have a headdress, isn't this a loss of face for King Rong's mansion!" The concubine's temper naturally couldn't bear to say that she was talking about herself.
"That's right, Yanrong, this palace remembers that I once rewarded you with a hosta, why haven't I seen you bring it?" The queen also said that although this concubine is usually arrogant and domineering, as long as it is aimed at Xia Rou, the queen will be happy.
"The mother's gift is expensive, but when I met a girl that day, I gave it rudely, so I thought that the most noble woman in the world was the queen's mother, and the Zhu Hai given by this gift can bring more blessings to people, so the minister gave it to that girl." Yan Rong said without humility or arrogance.
"General Yan is really different from others!"
