Chapter 235: When it comes to marriage
Because this is the important place where the Son of Heaven lives, the ladies and ladies who are used to being arrogant and proud in their own mansions on weekdays are now all lowering their eyebrows, bowing their heads and saying nothing, closely following the palace maid who led the way, and nervously entering the harem.
The area of the harem is very vast, and today is a good day for the canonization of the eldest lady of the Sun family, except for Princess Guo and Guo Yue, who have just won the honor, everyone else is walking on foot.
It's just that for these pampered ladies and ladies who are used to being pampered on weekdays, this is really a hardship, and I saw that although the palace maids in front of them walked forward step by step, the pace of the people was orderly, and the frequency of the footsteps was the same as that of the step.
And these ladies and ladies were able to keep up with the pace of the palace maids at first, but after walking half a pillar of incense, these pampered ladies and ladies on weekdays were a little unbearable.
It's just that today is the big day of the concubine's canonization, so in order not to miss the hour, every step is limited by the hour.
Therefore, none of them dared to shout that they were tired, so they could only swallow the unwillingness in their hearts, followed closely behind the palace maid, and came to the eldest princess's Qixiang Palace to wait for the order.
At this time, Jiang Yuanliu was wrapped in a quilt, his smooth and white face was deeply immersed in the soft goose feather soft quilt, and he soon fell asleep.
The courtyard was quiet, and today Qi Ruge and others went out and took away a large number of escort girls, and Jiang Fengmao went to the school to practice again.
Therefore, the current Guogong Mansion is even more peaceful and peaceful, but it shows a rare comfort on weekdays.
And outside the palace gate of Qixiang Palace, there are already full of ladies and ladies from various families, although everyone is very tired, but in order to maintain their own face, they are all stiff.
Everyone stood in place in a graceful posture, meekly waiting, and when the hour came, they would go to the altar of worship with the eldest princess.
And the eldest princess was having breakfast with Su Hui and Wen Rongxian, and I saw Aunt Fang quickly enter the hall through the side door, and immediately saluted when she saw the three of them.
Then he came to the eldest princess's side, bent down and whispered: "Eldest princess, Empress Fang Cai invited Princess Guo and the Yue County Lord to Fengxiang Palace. ”
After the eldest princess heard this, the speed of picking up vegetables slowed down a little by half a beat, and then a sneer appeared in her eyes, and she said to herself: "Bengong thought she could have a lot of patience, but now she can't hold her breath so quickly." ”
"Eldest princess, I'm afraid that the queen will ...... today" Aunt Fang's words were not finished, but she was a little worried, but her expression was still calm.
"How are the ladies and ladies outside?" The eldest princess did not continue the topic, her eyes glanced lightly at Wen Rongxian, who was quietly having breakfast, and raised her eyes to ask about the situation outside Aunt Fang.
"The Hou who has all been respectfully is outside the palace." Aunt Fang sandwiched a piece of hibiscus cake for the eldest princess and replied softly.
After listening to Aunt Fang's report, the eldest princess didn't look at it anymore, and used up a small bowl of red date bird's nest porridge in front of her with an extremely elegant gesture, and asked the palace people to withdraw the table.
"Brother-in-law, is my mother going to comb Sun Guifei's hair with Mrs. Huang now?" After rinsing her mouth with water and wiping her hands again, the eldest princess slowly took a sip of tea, and then asked Su Hui in a shallow voice.
Su Hui smiled indifferently and replied softly: "Back to the eldest princess, yes." ”
Since the beginning of the birthday banquet, Mrs. Huang has formed a friendship, although the two have not had much contact with each other, they are often able to have a good heart.
Today's matter, Mrs. Huang personally came to the door three days ago to invite Mrs. Hua, and Mrs. Hua was naturally happy to respond.
No, just after the child's time, the two old ladies rushed to the palace from their homes at the same time, just to comb the hair of the eldest lady of the Sun family.
"How is Master Hou's injury now? I heard that this time it was Liu Er's credit, and I don't know where she got her Huge? The eldest princess put down the teacup in her hand and said casually as if she were gossiping.
Su Hui's heart moved slightly, Liu Er found the antidote, and the people from the Fuguo Mansion did not report to the eldest princess before, but they didn't want the eldest princess to know so clearly at this time.
Su Hui pondered for a moment before slowly replying: "Master Hou's injury is slowly recovering now, but he still can't participate in the canonization ceremony today. As for the antidote, it must have been purchased by Liu Er for a lot of money. I don't know why the eldest princess suddenly asked about this? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, but I think this kid really has a heart. I thought that she had been raised in the countryside since she was a child, and she was alienated from us, but I didn't expect her to be so attentive to her uncle's affairs, and it was not in vain for all of us to protect her like this. ”
The eldest princess spoke in a slightly cold tone, and then turned her gaze to Wen Rongxian on the side.
Seeing her sitting silently and just bowing her head to taste tea, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "Grandson, you are now sixteen, and there are many princes and nobles today, including many young talents, and my aunt will pay attention to you today." ”
Wen Rongxian was originally eating tea, but he didn't want the eldest princess to transfer the topic to himself at this time, so he raised his head and looked at the eldest princess with a little surprise in his eyes.
But seeing that she had already turned her eyes away at this time, she began to talk to her mother.
Wen Rongxian was also depressed in his heart, only to feel that he might as well enter the palace with that group of officials and young ladies before, so as not to let the eldest princess transfer the target to herself, and she began to envy Jiang Yuanliu in her heart.
I knew that it would be like this, but it was better for her to blow a cool breeze, but it would save herself from facing these troubles.
Su Hui saw that her daughter bowed her head and was silent, and saw that she habitually pinched the handkerchief in her hand, so she said to the eldest princess in the cafeteria: "Master Hou's body is now recovering, if you go to talk about your grandson's family affairs now, is it a bit premature?" ”
Who would have thought that the eldest princess's face sank in vain after hearing this, and she forcefully put the tea cup in her hand on the rosewood table, making a very heavy sound.
Then he reprimanded Su Hui and said: "Grandson is now in the age of Jilu, and the reason why this palace didn't mention this matter before is because you and Chu Yun are both reluctant to give up this child, and the old lady also wants to keep her by her side for more time."
Later, something like this happened to Chu Yun again, so it was delayed again and again. But now it's September, and in three months it will be the end of the year, and the grandson will be seventeen.
Are you going to keep her for the rest of your life? You also heard that the queen is now in love with Guo Yue, that Guo Yue is as big as her grandson, if she is married to the eldest prince, there will be one less choice for her grandson.
Do you want to stuff her casually into a petty official in the future, and then let her live a mediocre life? Even if you do, this palace will never agree. ”
Seeing that Changgong took the initiative to be angry, Su Hui and Wen Rongxian immediately got up and knelt down.
But the eldest princess gave up and let the two of them get up, and then softened her tone and continued to speak: "This palace knows your thoughts, and I just want Concubine Qing to marry a husband who loves her." Therefore, a few days ago, the queen intentionally or unintentionally proposed the idea of proposing marriage for her younger brother, but she was blocked by the palace. However, how long can this palace hold this down? Seeing that the concubine is getting older and older, if she delays it any longer, I am afraid that her life will be ruined. ”
As she spoke, the eldest princess still looked at Wen Rongxian's body, and seeing that she was dressed a little plainly today, she asked Aunt Fang to take a magpie Dengmei Jin and shake it, and then beckoned Wen Rongxian to walk in front of her, and personally inserted this exquisitely made gorgeous hairpin into Wen Rongxian's left sideburns, and then asked Wen Rongxian to stand farther away, and looked at the daughter in front of her carefully.
I saw that Wen Rongxian was wearing a light blue dress today, with delicate daffodils embroidered on the cuffs and skirts of the placket, a moon-white belt tied around the waist of Yingying, and a lotus root powder purse also embroidered with narcissus hanging on the side, the whole person looked very elegant.
Because there is another delicate and dazzling glass step on the hair at this time, it further sets off the temperament of the aristocratic girl of Wen Rongxian, which makes people want to stop at a glance.
The eldest princess saw that she had achieved the effect she wanted, and her face was also very satisfied, and she praised again and again: "This is what the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion should look like." The way you dressed up is too plain, and you must remember not to do it again in the future. ”
Wen Rongxian only felt that the glazed steps were shaking heavily, and she seemed to be unable to lift her head, so she could only bow her head and bless her body: "Thank you for the reward, eldest princess." ”
"Eldest princess, it's almost time now." At this time, Aunt Fang stood aside and pointed out.
The eldest princess nodded slightly, stood up with the support of Aunt Fang, and then led Su Hui and Wen Rongxian out of Qixiang Palace.
When everyone saw that the eldest princess had finally come out, they immediately lifted their spirits and saluted neatly towards the eldest princess: "See the eldest princess." ”
Today, the eldest princess is wearing a red palace dress, and the silk satin depicts a swimming phoenix with gold thread, full of majesty Even if the eldest princess has not spoken, she has pressed towards an invisible net towards everyone.
"Get up." The eldest princess spoke calmly and solemnly, and then walked to the front hall with everyone on standard palace steps.
"You see, the golden step on Wen Rongxian's head is really dazzling, looking at this craftsmanship, I am afraid that only the old craftsmen in the palace can make it." Weng Fandie didn't notice anything else, but he observed the glazed jade bead on Wen Rongxian's head very carefully.
It's just that looking at Wen Rongxian who is so beautiful today, Weng Fandie felt very uncomfortable, so she deliberately whispered, wanting to provoke other daughters and Wen Rongxian to make them hostile to Wen Rongxian.
