Chapter 178: Give a Sweet Jujube

Although Empress Dowager Li agreed to Huang Yi'an and Princess Shouyang's sisters to send Zhang Xi out of the cabinet, considering that there were too many guests on the wedding day, there was a lot of inconvenience, and there was no opportunity to whisper to Zhang Xi, Huang Yi'an decided to go to the British Mansion two days in advance to congratulate him, just to give the congratulatory gift to Zhang Xi to make face.

The three princesses of Shouyang naturally had no objections.

But Huang Yi'an didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li, who has always attached importance to etiquette, would speak out against it.

"Since you have decided to go on the wedding day, why do you want to change it halfway, doesn't it seem that you are dishonest?" Empress Dowager Li retorted and earnestly taught, "As the saying goes, 'people can't stand without faith', especially the royal family. One of you is a queen, three are princesses, and you go out to represent the face of the royal family, how can you go back on your word? In this way, how can his subordinates trust and convince him? Isn't it bad for the country? ”

Seeing the big hats buttoned down one by one, Huang Yi said with peace of mind: This matter has just been decided, and she hasn't had time to go to the British government to inform it, but she just changed the date in private, how can it be regarded as a dishonest person and a shame for the country?

However, judging the expression of Empress Dowager Li, it seemed that she insisted that on the day of Zhang Xi's marriage, she and Princess Shouyang sisters congratulated her in public to show their favor, and Huang Yi'an did not refute it.

Whether as a daughter-in-law or a queen, she can only follow Empress Dowager Li's instructions on the surface.

Princess Shouyang couldn't help but speak: "Queen Mother, no one has been sent to inform the British Government of this matter, even if the date is changed at this time, it is not considered a breach of trust." ”

Although she prefers the excitement of the day of marriage, and wants to see the folk customs of marrying daughters with her own eyes, but the imperial sister-in-law is right, there are many people that day, and their status is too noble.

Compared with the excitement of seeing the folk marriage, of course, she cherishes the friendship with Zhang Xi more.

Who knew that Empress Dowager Li glanced at Princess Shouyang and said, "Who said that no one was sent to inform you?" The queen and the princess came to congratulate in person, without informing in advance, how could the British government prepare a welcome gift before the wedding? When the time comes, I am afraid that the grace will not be seen, and there will only be chaos. ”

When Princess Shouyang heard this, she gave up and quietly comforted herself, at least so that she could see with her own eyes the lively customs of folk marrying girls, and the two ends finally fell on one end, which was not too much of a loss.

Huang Yi'an was taken aback, and always felt that Empress Dowager Li was a little more eager to attend Zhang Xi's wedding this time than them.

From easily agreeing to go to the British Mansion to congratulate her as the queen, to now insisting that she and Princess Shouyang and the three sisters of Princess Shouyang attend on the day of their marriage in Zhang Xi, and without informing them, he ordered someone to go to the British Mansion to inform him of the matter early......

This is not at all in line with Empress Dowager Li's consistent and strict image!

Unless, behind this matter, Empress Dowager Li has no other plans!

Huang Yi'an, relying on his understanding of the Empress Dowager Li in his previous life, keenly discovered that something was wrong, and his mood of being happy to go to the meeting couldn't help but be clouded.

So much so that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet on August 15, she had a somewhat perfunctory time.

This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the emperor's wedding, and the banquet is naturally grander than before.

A month in advance, the Ministry of Rites began to arrange this matter.

In order to train Huang Yi'an to become a qualified queen, Empress Dowager Li specially handed over all the affairs of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to her.

Fortunately, with the experience of his previous life, Huang Yi'an is very familiar with such things as organizing festivals, and there are relevant yamen such as the Ministry of Etiquette to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, so everything is very smooth.

When Empress Dowager Li saw it, she couldn't help but be satisfied with Huang Yi'an again, and said to Mama Qing in private: "The mourning family originally thought that she was righteous, gentle and quiet, and suitable to be a queen, so they chose her." I didn't expect it, but I was still shrewd and capable. Looking at this posture, it is not like the cowering and busy hands and feet that come out of a small family, but it is quite a bit decisive and refreshing. ”

The students were praised, and of course the teachers felt that there was light on their faces, and they were very happy for her.

Qing Mama smiled and said: "Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother directly choose the queen mother who is ranked at the bottom among the girls to be drafted?" As the saying goes, 'I am sorry for me', which is about what it means! ”

This made Empress Dowager Li very happy, so she praised Mama Qing by the way: "The vision of the mourning family is good, but thank you for your careful teaching." ”

From etiquette to acting, Mama Qing taught her very carefully.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Li was happy, Mama Qing was happy to laugh with her, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Isn't the slave and maid all learned from the Empress Dowager!" Therefore, the queen mother is so capable, in the final analysis, it is thanks to the queen mother, you have a discerning eye and a chest! ”

praised Empress Dowager Li and laughed heartily.

……

Huang Yi'an naturally didn't know this, and in the hall where the lights were shining so brightly, she was sitting dignified and gracefully under the Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li, with a proper smile, socializing with all the clan relatives and relatives.

Looking at the Wang family, who was in the same column as the British duchess and next to the clan, the smile in Huang Yi'an's eyes finally became a little real.

In fact, if you think about it, it's not bad to marry into the palace, at least you can use the reason for the festival banquet to reunite with your family every Mid-Autumn Festival!

After the banquet was dispersed, all the clan relatives and relatives respectfully bowed and said goodbye.

The British princesses stayed on the grounds of gratitude.

"The courtiers and others thank the Queen Mother for her kindness, and thank the Queen Mother and the three princesses for their grace." The British duchess led the crowd to give a salute and thank them for the reward.

A few days ago, Tian Yi personally went to the British Mansion to pass on the reward, and gave all kinds of treasures to congratulate Zhang Xi on the joy of marriage, which became the hottest topic in the capital for a while, adding a lot of color to Zhang Xi and Li Zizhen's wedding.

Tomorrow Zhang Xi will get married, and the queen and the three princesses will come to congratulate in person, but I am afraid that it will set off a bigger heated discussion - since the founding of this dynasty, there are very few people who can marry a daughter and let the queen and the princess come to congratulate at the same time.

The royal favor to the British government can be seen from this.

Empress Dowager Chen was present, and Empress Dowager Li has always been relegated.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Chen ordered someone to pick up the British Duchess and said with a smile: "Everyone, please hurry up." The British government is loyal to the martyrs, and has been loyal to the royal family for more than 200 years, and His Majesty and the mourning family are in their hearts!

"Madame and Grandpa Guo are such a daughter, and now they are getting married, but they can't be beautiful! If it's shabby, let alone a lady, even the mourning family doesn't agree! ”

Such affectionate words and such a grand grace can be worthy of the founding feats of the British Mansion, which has stood with the country for more than 200 years.
