Chapter 746: Go to the East Palace
In the early morning of Lu Ri, the wicker couple got up early to wash up. The exclusive mountain abyss in Fuzhong has already prepared breakfast, and can wait for their host to eat at any time.
Today is the birthday of the eldest grandson queen, and the invitation to the banquet has been sent from the Lizheng Palace three days ago, not only invited Liuyi, but also specially instructed Chu Chu and Bao'er to follow the past, the words of the narrow and small Dezi that day were, the queen said, her old man and Mrs. Liu are very close to each other, and they are also very happy about their mother and son, and they want to meet them, please Mr. Liu must bring the two of them that day. This is a great favor, at least for Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu, the birthday banquet of the eldest grandson queen, I have never heard of a person with a foreign surname who can be invited to the family with his mouth.
So for the eldest grandson queen's love. Liu Yiyi may be able to deal with it calmly, but Zhang Chuchu, a native of the Tang Dynasty, can never be treated calmly, and the four words flattered have been perfectly reflected in Zhang Chuchu's body.
Zhang Chuchu, who has always been quiet and indifferent, urged Liu Yiyi to get up from the bed early this morning. After waiting for the husband who was still a little sleepy-eyed and fluffy to dress up, the eldest girl was going to get married and dressed up in the bronze mirror in the room.
"Isn't it just an ordinary birthday banquet, is the lady so tormented?" looked at the sky outside, the net was a little cloudy, not to mention getting up to eat, even if it was still a little time before he got up early to box, I really don't know why Chu Chu got up so early?
Although the identity of the eldest grandson queen is noble, but in the past few months, I have seen it five times, let alone five times, as for being so excited?
"Husband, how can the queen's birthday banquet be talked about in ordinary words?" Glancing at Liu Yiyi with disgust, Zhang Chuchu carefully put a golden hairpin on the side of his small mouth and opened it lightly, and said in a loud voice: "The concubine is dressed like this, not for vanity and showing off, except for us, most of the people present today are royal relatives, and the things they use for the royal family, no matter how ordinary they are, are hundreds of times better than those worn by ordinary people." Comparing with them, it is self-inflicted, how can the concubine be so unbearable and unwise? ”
"Oh?" Knowing that his daughter-in-law must have something to say next, Liu Yiyi took the warm towel handed by Xiaoxi, wiped his face, and then turned his head and motioned for Chu Chu to continue.
"Reload the new clothes, one out of respect for the eldest grandson and queen mother, two" said, Zhang Chuchu turned his head and glanced at Liu Yiyi, and then said: "The second is that I don't want my husband to lose face in front of people, in front of so many princesses and young ladies of your family, if the concubine is not dressed up to be outstanding, maybe there will be one or two more second ladies and three ladies in our Liu Mansion."
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law finally came up with such a sentence, Liu Yiyi was somewhat dumbfounded, and when he was chuckling and interrupting, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how can he not care about a woman of any era. There is such a big vinegar pinch hidden in the heart? Even Chu Chu, who has always been smart, elegant, and generous, and can treat everything indifferently, is not exempt from vulgarity.
Women love beauty, that's nature, if you want to dress up, let her dress up, no one will mind if their daughter-in-law becomes more beautiful.
Therefore, after chatting with Chu Chu for a while, Liu Yiyi went out to the martial arts hall in the backyard after the excitement, and then started his fist lifting.
"Young master, breakfast has been prepared, Madame, please go to the back hall to eat." About two quarters of an hour passed. When it was approaching, that is, at five or six o'clock in the morning, Liu Yiwang came down with a set of boxing techniques, and the girl Xi'er stepped into the martial arts hall.
"Hmm" looked at the sky outside. There was just a hint of bright color, and it was still some hour before the big light. Liu Yiyi took the hot and humid towel handed by his servant. Gently wiping the sweat stains on his forehead, he asked Xiaoxi in a soft voice, "Lord and Madame, are they also up?"
"Back to the young master" It is rare to be able to talk to their young master alone, Xiao Xi's heart is a little excited, and his two big eyes look at their young master without blinking, and he replied: "The young lady said that it is too early. The old lady and they have nothing to do during the day. So I didn't let anyone call it, but the kitchen had already ordered it to go down, and specially left food for the old lady and the little lady.
"Hmm" Hearing that the daughter-in-law was still as considerate and attentive as ever, Liu Yiyi nodded with satisfaction, put down the towel, and went back to the room to change into new clothes, and accompanied the daughter-in-law to eat in the backyard hall.
"Sir". The net sat down in front of the dining table. The steward, Chen Ming, came in from the front yard with his right leg upside down. After bowing down and seeing the young master and young lady of their family, he said lightly to Liu Yiyi, and said: "The word came from the palace, saying that it was the new funeral of the concubine and the queen of the harem, so the birthday banquet of the queen mother was changed to the East Palace, and the young master and Mrs. rushed directly to the East Palace." ”
"Oh? Changed to His Royal Highness the Prince", there was this accident, a little confused, and if he didn't ask for Liu, he soon understood that he was only nine outside the harem, whether it was the eldest grandson queen. or some other princes and princesses, they are just a little evasive.
Human nature, especially in the royal family, is even more taboo about these things of life and death, if the eldest grandson queen does not change the address, it is still a banquet in the palace for her birthday, it will make people feel surprised.
"Well, I know, with a congratulatory gift in a while, let's go directly to the East Palace and leave." The dishes on the table had already been eaten, Liu Yiyi put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and whispered to Chen Mingze: "You go and prepare the carriage and horse, although the specific time is not stated on the invitation." You can't go wrong with an earlier one
"Back to the young master, the carriage is already outside ready to stop, the young master and the young lady can travel at any time, Chen Ming replied, calmly. As the steward of a government, if he still needs to be instructed by the owner to prepare such a thing as carriages and horses, then there is no need for him to continue to do it.
"Husband, now that the sky is dawning, and the time is approaching, if there is nothing else to do, let's leave now" Zhang Chuchu also moved away from the table and said softly to Liu Yiyi: "As the husband just said, it's better to be late than early, most of the people who went today are royal relatives with noble status, let them wait for us, it's not good." "Although it is said that it has some reputation and some industry, but in the final analysis, it is still just a businessman, a small people, and now it is a great blessing for them to be invited to the East Palace by the eldest grandson queen.
Zhang Chuchu's thoughts, Liu Yiyi understood. It's nothing more than a family happiness, so after listening to his daughter-in-law's words, Liu Yiyi didn't say anything more, reached out and gently squeezed Chu Chu's little hand, and then took Xiao Bao'er in Xiaoxi's arms with both hands, and took his daughter-in-law out of the hall door and walked towards the carriage outside the courtyard gate.
This mystery, the sky has been bright, and the sun has not known when it has revealed half of its head in the eastern sky, the sun is slow, shining on the earth, but compared to the cold weather of this winter, the little bit of sunlight sprinkled by the sun is a little insignificant.
The Liufu compound is not too far from the East Palace, a total of three or five miles away, and it usually doesn't take half an hour to reach it on foot. It takes less than a moment to arrive by horse-drawn carriage. However, from the palace gate to the palace, the distance was only less than 100 meters, but it took them nearly half an hour to enter.
Physical examination, inspection, no matter who it is, what kind of identity it has, as long as it comes in from outside the palace, it must be inspected and tested by the eunuchs and palace maids who guard the door, all iron tools, sharp objects, and pills. The medicinal foam, the humming objects that may cause harm to the human body must be left behind, without the slightest affection.
The security check is also in place. But it's just a little comfort, after all. If someone really wanted to be unfavorable to the crown prince, they would never be stupid enough to swagger in through the main entrance like this.
After tossing for nearly half an hour, Liu Yiyi and the three of them finally walked into the palace, looking at the sky at this time, the sun was already in the middle of the sky, and at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, there was already a little excitement in the East Palace, and some of the early royal relatives were already here.
"It's better to get up early today, or else. I'm afraid it's really too late, and I glanced at my daughter-in-law, Liu Yiyi has a kinship, why don't you think that going to the East Palace will be so cumbersome on weekdays?
"Mr. Liu, villain, is polite here!" Seeing Liu Yiyi and his wife come in, Li Qing, the head of the East Palace who was in charge of welcoming them, trotted out from inside. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Liu Yiyi and said: "The queen's birthday banquet, many affairs are sloppy, if there are any things that the little cubs who are in charge of testing outside can't do, I still hope that Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu Haihan, don't be surprised."
Soldiers first and then salute, looking at the proficiency of Li Qing when he said this, it is not difficult to guess that every time a guest comes in from outside the gate of this palace, he is afraid that he will have to say it again.
"Mr. Li's words are serious," Liu Yiyi bowed his hand in return and glanced up at the hall. Asked Li Qing softly: "The queen hasn't arrived yet, has she?"
"Go back to Liu Xian to live, it's still early, and the guests are not yet half, and if you want to meet the queen, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer." Li Qing bowed and replied, "It's just now." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally gone to the Lizheng Palace to invite, thinking that it will not be long before the queen mother arrives. While speaking, Li Qingbian led the way for Liu Yiyi and his wife in front, and brought the two of them to an empty table in front of Dianran before bowing down and retiring, waiting outside to greet the next batch of guests.
It is said that the book is full of umbrellas
