Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Winter Solstice Meeting

The thirteenth year of heaven is set, and the winter solstice.

Chang'an City is very lively, there are carriages one after another on Chang'an Street, and the people love to nest under the wall of the Fang City to join in the fun.

And some of these carriages went to Hanyuan Palace. Only such a great court meeting, Daming Palace will use Hanyuan Palace, which is magnificent and not something that people can imagine.

Then there were some carriages that went to the women's house, waiting to meet the queen. Xie Ying is also in this team.

Xie Min is a doctor of Taixue in Zhengliupin, and Song Jinqin does not have the life of a foreign wife. Now her body is three months old, and it's good that the cold doesn't go down.

Xie Ying was able to go because His Majesty restored her title of "Xinghe County Jun" a few days ago. As for the reason, she said that she had been fighting in the northwest for many years and could not be awarded the title of general, so she took this as an encouragement.

In other words, it was to find a reason for her to enter the palace.

This time, when Xie Ying stepped into the Women's Hospital again, what she saw was different from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are only five or more officials and women with orders in the women's hospital, and the court will be solemn, that is, her maternal grandmother, the eldest princess Pingning, will wait here, and everyone is wearing Zhai clothes, according to the grade regulations with hairpins.

However, Zhou and Xie Ying may have some ladies, and they have prepared another outfit.

The other dress was no longer as hierarchical as it was now. That one is prepared for the banquet of the Lin De Hall tonight, and the more novel and public, the better, so as to show the elegance of my Tiansheng woman.

After waiting for a while, a eunuch came to guide everyone to wait for the two pavilions outside the Ayaqi Palace, the clan relatives were on the east step, and the opposite sex was on the west step.

Although Zhou is the daughter of the eldest princess of Pingning, she can only stand in the pavilion under the west steps and wait.

The music is played by the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau, and the beginning of the sitting music is also when the leader enters the palace. The leader is not the eldest princess of Pingning, but the older Huang Guxi and the eldest princess.

So after the first product of the east step enters, it is the first product of the west step, so as to meet it.

"Concubine Xinghe County Jun Xie worships Her Royal Highness the Queen, and Her Royal Highness the Queen is extremely happy."

Xie Ying bowed to the north and bowed to the head. This is the rule that the Zhou family gave her, and this is also what every wife has to say, and she must not be wrong.

"Xing!" Si Zan and Zhangzan female officials passed on in turn, Xie Ying was able to get up, and another Sibin female official came forward to guide Xie Ying to her position and stand still.

Until all the women entered the Ayaqi Palace, they ordered the female official to say: "The celebration of the new appointment is the same as the lady!" ”

"Bye-bye!" Then the woman bowed again.

It's not over yet, this is just the beginning of the visit, and then there are female officials of the Shang Sleeping Bureau who prepare their personal positions, the eldest princess sits in the southeast, and the lady sits in the southwest.

The queen gave a seat to worship, and after sitting down, the queen raised wine to worship. The next three glasses of wine are to drink one cup and get up and bow once, eat a total of nine dishes, each with a glass of wine, a total of 12 times, and the pilgrimage meeting is over.

At the end of the day, you have to bow down, and exit the Ayaki Hall as you entered at the beginning.

Xie Ying just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou coughed lowly, Xie Ying immediately knew that it was her mother's meaning, and she had to cheer up.

It wasn't until Zhou held her hand outside the gate of the Ayaqi Hall that Xie Ying felt that she had returned to reality.

"A-Niang, I'm so tired......" she muttered in a low voice, the Great Dynasty would be so troublesome.

In the main hall she could only hear the voices of the female officers and the sound of music, and no one could make much noise, and the wine was tasteless.

Zhou said that this is because the women are not good at drinking, so the wine is mostly fruit wine, and she must not be used to drinking it.

Their clothes are very heavy, and the hairpins are also made of pure gold, and the higher the grade, the heavier it becomes. Xie Ying watched them kneel and get up every time, and they were able to keep every movement perfect, Xie Ying really admired these women from the bottom of her heart.

"When are we going to change our clothes?" Xie Ying tugged at Zhou's shirt, and Zhou glared at her helplessly, "I'll be tired after a while, what can I do in the future?" ”

Xie Ying was behaving obediently, and the queen's honor guard behind her appeared, and Zhou quickly pulled her to the side and knelt down.

The queen stopped, and Rong'er stepped forward to help Zhou, "Worship Mrs. Hardworking." ”

"Her Royal Highness." Zhou could only bow deeply, and Xie Ying couldn't interject.

"Your Majesty's decree, tonight's night banquet in the Linde Palace, the Shicui Hall has been cleaned for the women who are going to attend, and the lady will take the county monarch to rest!"

"Yes."

When the Zhou family talked about this Shicui Palace, it was generally inhabited by a princess, but there were only two princesses of His Majesty, so they were all kept in the house near the Xuanhui Palace, so they did not move over.

Therefore, the Shicui Hall is rarely used, and only when it encounters the banquet of the Linde Palace, it will be cleaned out as a resting place for the inner wife.

Xie Ying hurriedly took off her Zhai clothes and changed into her favorite red round-necked robe, Zhou still needed some time, Xie Ying took advantage of this time to sneak out of the hall and sit in the pavilion.

Although he was still sitting, it was better than sitting nervously like in the Ayaki Hall, and he still had to relax a lot.

She hadn't been doing it long before Princess Pingcheng suddenly came.

"Xinghe County Jun!" Her loud voice woke Xie Ying, who was resting on the railing.

Seeing that it was the high-spirited princess of Pingcheng, Xie Ying sighed subconsciously, and hurriedly got up and saluted, she didn't want anything to happen to the princess of Pingcheng at today's court meeting.

"In order for you to come to the court meeting, Your Majesty also specially restored your county monarch's canonization." Heijo looked at her with raised eyebrows.

Xie Ying nodded lightly, "Thank you princess for telling me." ”

Seeing that Xie Yingpingcheng, who was obedient at the moment, was still a little unaccustomed to it, he took two steps forward, "You will still judge the situation!" ”

"Today's court meeting, the concubine doesn't want to have a quarrel with the princess, and it's nothing to say that it's just a fight between the ladies and sons; Speaking of which, you are a princess, but you have lost your country. ”

Xie Ying is so sincere, in Pingcheng's eyes, she is low-browed and pleasing to the eye. She was proud in her heart, thinking that she could handle Xie Ying today.

"Seeing that you are so obedient, if you ask me again, I will no longer pursue the past." Pingcheng cleared his throat and said, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.

"The concubine is not guilty, and I don't know what to ask for and sin." Xie Ying broke the thought in her heart with a faint sound.

There was a gloomy look in his eyes, "Xie Ying, you still look like this!" ”

"The concubine is telling the truth, that is, Her Royal Highness the Queen has come down, and I will say the same." She responded lightly.

The Zhou family rushed over to relieve Xie Ying, "Princess, today's court meeting, if there is anything that the concubine and others have done badly, please ask the princess to 'settle accounts after the autumn'." ”

"Autumn Queen?" Pingcheng sneered, "I'm afraid I won't have this chance!" ”

Xie Ying raised her eyes slightly, Pingcheng was actually smiling at her, full of coldness, and her eyes were full of provocation.

"Princess, is something going to happen?" Xie Ying opened her mouth slightly, and Zhou hurriedly looked at her, "Erniang!" ”

Princess Pingcheng's eyes couldn't hide things at all, this was Xie Ying's only feeling.

But Pingcheng turned around and left, leaving behind a cold snort......
