Chapter Ninety-One: The Dinner Party
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Jing Qi was stationed at the door, and when he saw her, he immediately squatted down and spoke, "The emperor and the queen are discussing inside, but do you have something to convey on your behalf?" ”
"Father is busy, so he doesn't have to."
Chu Yuewan said, "Uncle Jing, do you know where the Third Emperor Sister lives? ”
"I'm sorry, but I don't know."
Jing Qi replied truthfully, "But after a while, the third princess should come to Chenji Hall to meet the emperor." ”
"yes, got it."
Chu Yuewan looked back at Fu Hui Hanxiang, "The Third Emperor Sister is also very busy, so let's talk about the dinner." ”
"There's no need for Your Royal Highness to see her, the third princess has been married for so long, so she will come back this time, and it is estimated that she may not see her again in the next few decades."
Hanxiang is not very optimistic.
Chu Yuewan disagreed: "It's because I haven't seen you once for a long time, so I want to meet and greet the Third Emperor Sister."
It must have been very difficult for her to go to such a far place alone, for so many years. ”
Fleur took her hand: "Your Royal Highness wants to see it, you will definitely be able to see it." ”
They were about to go back, when they suddenly heard the voice of the old emperor from the Chenji Palace: "Look where she still treats me as a father!" I wanted to talk to her heart, what was she talking about! I first regarded myself as an outsider, what do I have to say to her! ”
"Your Majesty, don't be angry with yourself."
Queen Yun gave him a soothing heart, and helped him sit down on the dragon couch, "After all, Mengzao has been married for more than ten years, and as soon as he came back, he was still the princess, and on that occasion, of course, he didn't dare to say too much in his heart."
Tobo's envoy sat beside him, and when the time came, every word and deed would be conveyed back to the ears of King Tobo, and the dream would go back in the end, at least in front of outsiders, and he could not show favoritism. ”
"Let's just think she's in trouble!" The old emperor is still angry.
Angry, Liu Cunmao suddenly said "eh" at the door, and said to the door: "The little hall has come down!" ”
"Late?" The old emperor's face instantly turned from anger to joy.
"Father~" Chu Yuewan ran in and threw himself into his arms.
"Yo, look, my little face is flushed, where are you playing around?" The old emperor hugged her for a rare meal, "It's still my intimacy every night!" Never angry! Chu Yuewan deliberately rubbed his beard on his face, making the old emperor laugh non-stop.
"Your Majesty."
Liu Cunmao walked in and reminded, "The third princess has arrived." ”
The old emperor stopped playing, reluctantly handed over the early moon to Queen Yun, and ordered Chu Meng to come in early.
Outside the Chenji Palace, Chu Meng had already changed into the clothes of the Central Plains, and before he stepped into the threshold, he saw the new "couplet" that greeted him, and he didn't recognize what was written.
"When did my father change the plaque? Engraved these two pairs again? She asked the palace people outside the door.
"This character was written a few years ago when His Highness the Thirteen Little Highnesses were just learning to write."
The palace man replied.
"Oh?" Chu Meng had already thought about the little little dot he saw in the Zhaohua Palace, "Then what is this written?" "Palace people:"'Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chickens, roasted geese, it is a blessing to be able to eat'." ”
First Dream Zao: "Why did you suddenly talk about Guankou?" "Gong Ren:" The slave is talking about the words on it." ”
Chu Meng stared silently at the spider's crawling handwriting for a while: "...... Rhyme. ”
"The Third Princess."
Liu Cunmao came to the door, "You can come in." ”
Chu Meng immediately followed, and as soon as he arrived at the reception room, he saw the old emperor sitting in the middle, and Queen Yun was also sitting with her hands down, holding a round and lovely little jade in her arms.
Isn't this the little thirteenth emperor's sister, I can't imagine that I got off the Zhaohua Palace, and I am still sticking to my father's side.
"Father."
The first dream salutes early, "Queen Mother." ”
"Sit."
The old emperor arranged a seat closer to her.
The first dream came in an orderly manner.
"Eleven years."
The old emperor looked at her and sighed, "I've grown into a big girl." ”
Chu Mengzao always lowered his head slightly, and after listening to his words, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Father......" She finally couldn't hold back, raised her head and looked at the old emperor with teary eyes, "Daughter is homesick......" The old emperor's nose was pantothenic, and his sleeves were stained with tears.
"Have you been wronged?" He beckoned for Hameng to come early.
Hameng came to his knees and cried like a child.
But he wiped his face with tears and said: "Don't be wronged, for the sake of my father and the Dagao Dynasty, my daughter is willing." ”
"If there's anything you want, just say it.
Father and emperor are ready for you, our princess of the Dagao Dynasty must be admired high in other countries. ”
The old emperor patted her shoulder and comforted, "Go home, be happy, don't cry......" Chu Meng nodded early and hurriedly collected her tears.
She got up and returned to her chair and told the old emperor about the experience of the past ten years.
Perhaps the old emperor and Empress Yun had already known that they didn't react much to her words, but just comforted her from time to time.
Chu Yuewan knew for the first time that there were still many details that she didn't know.
Just like the third emperor sister, she left the palace at the age of eighteen to marry far away, and the country of Tuobo was far away from Lingyongzhou outside the southwest of the "big pie" of the Dagao Dynasty.
When she went, she also brought with her how many seeds, livestock, poems, books and utensils of the Dagao Dynasty, and she walked for a year just on the road.
After the people of the Dagao Dynasty sent her to the border pass, they replaced some of them and were picked up by the people of the Tuobo Kingdom.
When I got there, the natural wedding ceremony was very grand, but when I arrived at the Tobo Palace, Chu Meng knew that she was not the only princess.
King Tobo had already married a local nobleman.
But fortunately, the rules of the Tobo and Dagao dynasties are different, there can be two or three princesses side by side, and there is no unique "country. Mother" said.
Therefore, Chu Meng is still considered to be the main room, and because he brought a rich dowry, he is also supported by many people in the Tobo Palace.
It's just that the climate over there is changeable, the land is barren, and there are still many places in life that are different from the customs of the Dagao Dynasty, and the first dream has been adapted to it for a long time.
In the second year of Tobo's reign, she gave birth to a prince for King Tobo, and King Tobo was overjoyed, and specially rewarded Tobo's mountain col and 10,000 yaks to Chumengzao's mother and son, as for other scriptures and treasures, there is no need to mention more.
In the following years, Chu Mengzao's stomach was quite competitive, and he gave birth to two princesses and two princes in a row, and he was pregnant with another one before returning to China this time, and his belly was still flat when he first left Tobo, and now it is bulging like a ball.
"Sister Sanhuang with a baby!" The first moon night was surprised.
I wore so much in winter, and I didn't see it at all in the Zhaohua Palace.
"Here it is."
Chu Meng untied her thick robe early and showed her a bulging belly.
Chu Yuewan came to her in the evening, carefully touched her belly gently, and put her ear to listen to it.
It turns out that cooking makes your stomach bulge...... I have seen it for a long time! At the beginning of the moon, I touched my little belly, which was also very round and bulging, but I didn't cook, but ate like this.
"Thirteen guess, is it a little nephew or a niece?" Hatsumengzao asked.
Chu Yuewan instinctively: "It's a little nephew!" Chu Meng smiled early: "It's another kid, but I'm going to worry about the imperial sister to death."
My boss, a few years older than you, knows all day long that he can't catch a monkey when he climbs mountains and chases sheep. ”
Chu Yuewan touched her belly again, and said to the inside: "Little nephew, you have to be a good boy, take good care of the imperial sister, don't be naughty, don't make her angry." ”
She spoke very seriously, as if the unborn child in it could really hear.
Chu Mengzao looked at the chattering little royal sister, thinking of his daughter who was far away in Tobo, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
"It's so big, it's going to be a few months?" Queen Yun was a little worried that she would have a tiring journey and would not be able to have a safe baby.
"The original date should be the birth after the year."
Chu Meng said early, "I originally thought, since I already have it, I won't come back this year, but the itinerary and materials have been booked, if you don't come back, it will be difficult to do it on both sides, so I still came, rushed to the capital, if I can give birth to this child in my homeland, it is good." ”
"Then don't be in a hurry to leave in February."
Queen Yun said, "Stay and have a good confinement, and the mother and son will be raised before going back." ”
"Thanks to the care of the Queen Mother."
The first dream promised early.
When she left Dagao, she had only known this step-sister for a short time, and even the age difference was only six years old, more like sisters than mother and daughter.
