At the beginning, the eldest grandson Wuji also wanted to ask Li Jiancheng, but in the end he held back. During this time, they studied together in Tai Academy, and the eldest grandson Wuji retracted his words several times. After all, Li Jiancheng is only Li Shimin's eldest brother, and the relationship between him and him is another layer apart. But seeing Li Jiancheng's reaction today, he finally couldn't help but ask, after all, this is with his brother and sister's net worth.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and whispered: "The eldest grandson is too worried, my father just doesn't want our brother to be buried in the countryside." ”

Although he said it lightly, his flickering gaze made Eldest Sun Wuji's suspicions even heavier, and he couldn't help but ask: "In two years, the people of the world will be eighteen." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said; "Four years from now, Shimin should also come to take the imperial examination. When the time comes, you can take advantage of this opportunity to consummate their marriage. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji did not agree immediately because he was worried, but only said lightly: "I must ask my mother and uncle about this matter, and I must also listen to my little sister's meaning." ”

……

After the end of this grand military parade, the entire Han Dynasty also officially entered the Chūn Festival holiday, and in addition to the cabinet taking turns to arrange a bachelor on duty, the Manchu civil and military also went home for the New Year. Liu Ziqiu is also relaxed, and he can accompany his wife and children at home. However, what he felt most sorry for was Xie Muyu. originally promised to officially marry her after returning to Luoyang, but Wei Zheng and Zhao Ling had to do something together to make a canonization ceremony, and the matter had to be delayed.

Although the Xie family has already bought a house in Luoyang, and Xie Zhiwen and Xie Zhiwu have also passed the imperial examination, they also stayed in the Eastern Capital, and only Xie Yun returned to Jiangnan alone. Even so, Xie Muyu still followed Liu Ziqiu into the palace. The palace is large enough that it is not difficult to arrange a few people. For Xie Muyu's cousin, Gao Xiuer also took good care of her, so she allocated a palace room next to her Zhaoyang Palace and renamed it Tianyin Palace. In addition to the two little nuns who were originally by Xie Muyu's side, Gao Xiu'er transferred twenty palace maids, and this regulation was already comparable to herself.

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace was extremely busy, with lights everywhere, and Tianyin Palace was no exception, with a festive atmosphere. The two little nuns have returned to the vulgar, and their hair has gradually grown, draped over their shoulders, and there is a smell of long hair fluttering, although this hairstyle is incompatible with this era, Liu Ziqiu likes it very much, which makes him feel like he is back in the past. However, their names have not changed, and they still retain their original legal names, which is what Xie Muyu meant. Of course, as long as they can be vulgar, it doesn't matter what their name is.

Lichen and Lifan have already become the female officials of Tianyin Palace, commanding twenty palace maids, but they are a little high-spirited. Looking at his busy subordinates, Lichen couldn't help but stretch: "I don't know when the emperor will officially canonize Miss, at least it should be one of the four ladies." ”

Li Fan was a little worried: "It's a pity that Miss has a bad life, there are already four mothers before her, if she can be ranked as one of the nine concubines, it can be regarded as a creation." ”

Lichen was full of disdain, and said, "What is the identity of Miss?" How can they be compared? We are all intimate people of Miss, and if the identity of Miss goes up, we will also rise. The emperor has been touching people's hair lately, do you say the emperor likes us? Will you also give us a Zhaoyi or something? ”

Seeing the dust with a nymphomaniac face, Lifan covered his mouth and laughed: "If you want to be beautiful, it will be good for you to be a woman of the world when the time comes, and you still want to be nine concubines?" If you want me to say, I'll give you a royal wife at most. ”

"You're the royal wife, you're the royal wife...... Lichen became embarrassed, and suddenly reached out to scratch his armpits, but said, "Actually, it's good to be a royal wife." ”

The two little girls were playing and laughing. The harem regulations proposed by Zhao Ling have long been rumored, and everyone who is a little confident in their appearance has some thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound in the room, but it was the sound of the strings breaking. Xie Muyu's piano skills are a must, but it is unique to break the strings before he starts playing. The two little girls were taken aback, and hurriedly ran into the house: "Miss, you ......"

Xie Muyu waved his hand: "It's okay, bring the bronze mirror." ”

Seeing that Xie Muyu was not in a high mood, the two little girls didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly brought a bronze mirror. The ordinary bronze mirror is a round face plate, but this copper mirror is rectangular, half a person high, which was newly polished by Liu Ziqiu, and each of his women was equipped with one side. Looking at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, Xie Muyu sighed faintly, gently took off the hairpin on his head, and scattered his long hair. Like the two little girls, her long hair just fell to her shoulders.

Lichen took a sheep's horn comb and said softly, "Miss, the slave will help you re-dress." ”

Xie Muyu stretched out his hand: "I'll come by myself." ”

Since leaving Tianyin Nunnery, Liu Ziqiu has drawn several patterns for Xie Muyu, all of which are women's hairstyles, which were unheard of at the time, from short hair to long hair, as well as various braided styles. When his hair was short, Xie Muyu had no choice but to repair it slightly according to the pattern. As her hair gradually grew and could be used as a bun, she refused to comb her makeup according to the pattern drawn by Liu Ziqiu. After all, she is a more traditional girl, and she knows that Liu Ziqiu likes them to dress up like that, but she still refuses to make those weird changes.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, staying in this palace that does not really belong to her own home, her mood is a little chaotic, I don't know what's going on, and suddenly I want to change my hairstyle according to the pattern drawn by Liu Ziqiu. Her hair was now over her shoulders, and she either wore it over her shoulders like the two little girls, or she had to tie it up in two braids. There are two kinds of braids on the pattern, one like a horse's tail and the other like a twist. Xie Muyu thought about it and decided to do it himself and weave a braid. For people who have never braided their hair, it is quite difficult, and even with the help of those two little girls, the braids that are braided seem a bit nondescript.

Xie Muyu looked in the mirror, very dissatisfied, and finally shook his head: "Take two gold threads." ”

Two black and shiny ponytails hung down on his chest, revealing an indescribable pure temperament, which made Xie Muyu himself quite surprised. Suddenly, I heard a light cough behind me: "Yu'er, you are so beautiful." ”

Xie Muyu turned around and looked, was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Husband, when did you come?" He blamed a few palace maids and said, "The emperor is here, why don't you report it!" ”

"I didn't let them say it." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Today is a festive rìzi, go out of the dust, go and exchange for two red silk ropes." ”

In this era, there are no cute hairpins, and they can only be replaced by silk ropes. Lichen happily took two red silk ropes and helped Xie Muyu retie them.

Seeing Xie Muyu tied up his double ponytail, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but think of his little sister, and it was close to the chūn festival, and he didn't know how his family was doing, so he was a little distracted. Xie Muyu was suddenly a little nervous: "Husband, don't you like it?" Actually, I want to change that kind of braid, but the slave family is too stupid, and it can't be braided well. ”

"That's good, I like it." Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together." ”

Xie Muyu was taken aback: "I, can I too?" ”

She is not yet a formal Liu family, but in this family reunion, she needs to stay alone in Tianyin Palace, so her mood is a little low, and now she is a little surprised to hear that Liu Ziqiu can let her go to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. Because it's a bit unruly to do so. Of course, the rules are all set by people, and now, Liu Ziqiu's words are obviously holy decrees and rules. The faces of the two little girls were suddenly happy and worried, happy that their own young lady went to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they as personal female officials must accompany each other, worried that the young lady's xìng son is a little stubborn, in case of refusal, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is small, annoying the emperor is a big deal.

"Sooner or later, you are a member of my Liu family, so naturally I won't let you spend tonight alone." Liu Ziqiu had already shown his domineering side, so he couldn't help but say, took Xie Muyu's hand and left. The little hands are slender and smooth, soft as boneless, Liu Ziqiu doesn't know how many times he has shaken, but he can't always hold enough.

Xie Muyu blushed and said, "Husband, don't you want to sacrifice your ancestors?" ”

She is still an outsider after all, and if Liu Ziqiu wants to sacrifice her ancestors, she can't participate. Moreover, even if she became a member of the Liu family, the woman did not have the right to participate in the sacrifice. That's why she asked a little bit, not wanting to be embarrassed by standing outside the door at that time.

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "When my parents are alive, it is right to be filial piety, and when the time comes, everyone will give the ancestors of the Liu family a pillar of incense." ”

He knew that his parents must be alive and well, so naturally he couldn't engage in any grand sacrifices.

……

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held in the Qianyang Hall, which was originally the place where Yang Guang received foreign envoys. Now Liu Ziqiu has transferred the place of receiving foreign envoys to Shanglin Xiyuan, and the Qianyang Hall has become vacant and has become a royal gathering place. There are two large round tables in the middle of the hall, and the whole family can sit at one table to eat, which is Liu Ziqiu's dream.

Originally, the population of the Liu family was not large now, and only one round table was needed. But in this era, it is still necessary to follow the rule that father and son do not have different tables, and they can only set up another table for the children of Liu Sigen, Jin Xiaohu and Mu Duoli. Of course, these children are still young, and they have their own palace maids to take care of them, so there is no need for Liu Ziqiu and them to worry.

The banquet was neatly furnished, Liu Ziqiu glanced at the vanilla standing behind Gao Xiu'er, and said with a smile: "You also sit down." ”

Vanilla hurriedly said: "In front of the emperor, how can there be a seat for slaves and maids." ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Xiu'er treats you like a sister, why not?" Are you eighteen? It's time to get married, do you have a favorite Lang Jun? ”

Vanilla lowered her head and whispered: "The slave maid does not marry, and the slave maid serves the queen's sister all her life." Besides, where can a slave and maid marry at such an age. ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will issue a new rule!" ”
