Chapter 19: Disgusting people who don't
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, it is finally the New Year.
According to the rules of the royal family, on the thirtieth day, the prince and princess must enter the palace to accompany the old emperor for the New Year.
Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the palace, and red curtains were pasted on the windows. The bed curtain in Su Xia and Rong Hao's bedroom was also replaced with pink, and Cuihua also thoughtfully inserted a bouquet of red plums in the fine porcelain vase in the house.
Rong Hao got up early in the morning, washed up, and dressed up.
After he tidied himself up, when he turned around, Su Xia was still sleeping in a ball on the bed. Obviously, he took her off his body when he got up, and shouted several times, this little lazy worm has the ability to continue to sleep so soundly.
Rong Hao shook his head helplessly, Gonggong Li figured out his mind and asked, "Lord Wang, why don't you call him?" ”
Rong Hao waved his hand and motioned for Gonggong Li to go out. Gonggong Li slipped away and disappeared from view.
He sat on the edge of the bed and pinched Susha's nose. The little eunuch was very tenacious, and when his nose did not breathe, he switched to breathing through his mouth, and he just didn't want to get up anyway.
Rong Hao let go of her nose and pounced on her, looking at her condescendingly: "Hey, Su Xia, it's time to get up." The sun is soaking your ass. ”
Su Xia frowned, and didn't even want to open his eyes: "Why are you getting up so early, it's very cold outside." I still have to sleep. As he spoke, his head shrank back into the bed.
Rong Hao pulled her quilt downward, "Did you forget?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you want to accompany me into the palace to ask my father and emperor for peace. ”
Su Xia shook her head: "Can I not go?" Everyone brings the princess, why are you taking me a eunuch? ”
Rong Hao grabbed her mouth, licked open her lips, and gave her a long kiss. Kiss until Su Xia is short of breath and her face is red.
Su Xia opened her watery eyes and looked at him: "I haven't washed yet, you will bully me." ”
Rong Hao opened his teeth and smiled: "Who told you not to get up, get up quickly." As he spoke, he fished Su Xia out of the quilt and dragged him out of bed. Today, the king is waiting for you to change your clothes, and you are not happy. "Tucked the jade cicada around Su Xia's neck into the neckline" This jade cicada should be attached to the meat belt. ”
As he spoke, he took Su Xia's clothes and put them on for her. Su Xia was tossed by him and was already sober. She snatched the clothes from Rong Hao's hand, "I'll wear it myself, I'll wear it myself." Rong Hao had no choice but to let go, sit on the chair next to him, and watch her dress.
The clothes of the two are the same color today. They were all dark red robes embroidered with bat patterns and a circle of gold thread trimming around the neckline. The belt is inlaid with white jade. There is also a sachet of the same color around the waist. Su Xia stepped on his little boots, looked at himself, and then looked at Rong Hao, "Lord Wang, why are we wearing the same clothes?" ”
Rong Hao looked at her and smiled: "You are the king's person, so you can't wear the same." In this way, the king's love for you can be reflected. He touched his chin and looked at Su Xia's unsubdued eyebrows.
Su Xia nodded, "Oh, couple's outfit." Lord, you're really good at playing. Heartfelt compliment.
When the two of them picked it up, they left the palace surrounded by a crowd.
The carriage staggered to the outside of the palace gate. The old emperor was very partial to his sons, so their palace was very close to the palace, even if they didn't take the car, they could walk quickly, but Rong Hao still insisted on taking the carriage every time.
There was incense in the car, Su Xia leaned on a soft pillow, Rong Hao sat next to her, bored playing with the tassel on Su Xia's waist.
Su Xia opened the curtain and looked out the window: "Lord, the New Year in the capital is really lively." ”
Rong Hao replied casually: "Yes, wait until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is more lively." ”
"You take me to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, won't you make him angry?"
Rong Hao braided the tassel into a pigtail, "My father has always been very kind to our brothers. so as not to be angry about such trivial things. ”
Su Xia was shocked, "It's a trivial matter not to marry a wife, to pamper a man?" ”
Rong Hao nodded, "As long as I'm happy, my father will be happy." ”
Su Xia was almost moved to cry. What a father this is!
After a short time, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. It was very cold in the capital, and it snowed heavily for several days. At present, the palace people have cleared the snow along the way.
Rong Hao got out of the car first, then held Su Xia's hand and took her down. Both of them wore thick coats and velvet hats. When Gonggong Hu saw them coming, he hurriedly greeted them. Salute with a smile: "The slave sees the Seventh Prince." ”
Rong Hao smiled and motioned for him to get up.
"The prince came really early today, and you were the first to arrive. Yo, this is Grandpa Su, haven't you seen you for a few days, okay? Father-in-law Hu led everyone inside.
Su Xia responded with a smile: "Okay, Father-in-law Tuohu's blessing, the prince loves me very much." "I said that my teeth are sore.
Grandpa Hu covered his mouth and smiled: "The prince and Grandpa Su are really soaking in a honeypot." Everywhere it goes, it's as sweet as candy. ”
Su Xialeng's little nose was red, Rong Hao stretched out his hand, grabbed her hand in her clothes, and rubbed it carefully.
"Grandpa Hu, don't follow us. Let's go and see the Queen Mother. Rong Hao commanded.
Gonggong Hu got the order and retired.
Su Xia was led by Rong Hao and came to the queen's Fengxiang Palace. Last time I came, I was directly invited to the side hall, and this time Su Xia entered the hall for the first time.
She looked at the surrounding environment, the queen deserves to be a queen, it is really luxurious. A few red plums were planted in the yard, and a dark fragrance wafted from afar. There is some residual snow on the rockery and stone bench, presumably the queen asked him not to sweep it and keep it for ornamentation.
As soon as I entered the warm pavilion, there was a hot breath on my face, mixed with the smell of good incense. Rong Hao and Su Xia took off the big hat and handed it over to the palace people.
The queen sat on the top, wearing a bright yellow palace dress, wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, and chatting with people with decent makeup. Sitting at the bottom was Su Jiaojiao, wearing a bright red jacket and skirt, hiding her face and smiling.
Rong Hao took Su Xia by the hand and saluted the queen.
As soon as the queen turned her face and saw the two of them, her face turned black all of a sudden.
Let's forget it together, just join hands, and still wear the same clothes, I'm afraid that people all over the world won't know that the Seventh Prince and the eunuch broke their sleeves? She held her forehead and waved to them for them to take their seats.
Su Xia wanted to break free of Rong Hao's hand, but helplessly, Rong Hao held it very tightly, and his palms were sweaty and he didn't let go. The two could only sit together like conjoined babies.
The palace maid offered hot tea.
The queen looked at Rong Hao, with a bit of love between mother and son, "Hao'er, are you still healthy recently?" ”
"The mother is worried, and with Xiaoxia to take care of her, her sons and daughters live very comfortably." Rong Hao didn't blush at all when he answered, but Su Xia choked on the tea next to him. Rong Hao hurriedly patted her on the back.
The queen already saw that the two of them were not pleasing to the eye, and such a close operation made the queen feel even more eyesore. How could these two men be so close.
"The mourning family summoned the eldest lady of the Su family into the palace today, you should know each other, right?" The queen decided not to look at them anymore and turned her head to look at Su Jiaojiao.
Su Jiaojiao has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she smiles smartly. got up and saluted Rong Hao, "Little girl Su Jiaojiao, see the Seventh Prince." The last time I said goodbye to the palace, I haven't seen him for many days. ”
Rong Hao waved his hand and motioned for her to be excused. didn't want to say much, just picked up the preserved fruit on the table and handed it to Su Xia's mouth, Su Xia raised her eyes to look at the queen and Su Jiaojiao, and took it in with a red face. What should I do, I should cooperate with the boss's play, and I have to finish it with a cheeky face.
Su Jiaojiao saw that she was ignored, but the two of them did not shy away from showing affection. secretly tightened the handkerchief, still smiling on his face, and said to Rong Hao in a pretty voice: "Lord Wang, last time Jiaojiao went to your house to play, and dropped a butterfly bead hairpin on your house, I don't know when I can get it?" ”
Rong Hao just wanted to refuse, but the queen snatched the conversation, "Hao'er, presumably Miss Su must like that pearl hairpin very much, or let her go to your house to get it in a few days." ”
Su Xia's heart is like a mirror, and the queen's purpose of matching Rong Hao and Su Jiaojiao is too obvious.
The queen had spoken, and Rong Hao could only nod, "Okay, listen to the arrangement of the queen mother." However, Erchen has been a little busy with the affairs of the forbidden army office recently, and I may not have time to entertain Miss Su when she goes. ”
Su Jiaojiao smiled, "The prince's business is important, the little girl will go back when the time comes, and she will not delay the prince's time." ”
Speaking of this, not letting people go anymore is a bit too much to say, Rong Hao no longer objected, and nodded.
The queen glanced at Su Jiaojiao: "Jiaojiao, didn't you make pastries and want to taste them for Hao'er?" ”
Su Jiaojiao understood, got up and picked up the food box on the desk and opened it, and there was a plate of rose sugar cake inside. The outer skin of the sugar cake is transparent, made of starch, kneaded into the shape of a rose, and the filling inside is made of roses pickled in sugar and then chopped, and the outer skin is sprinkled with some sugar grains, which looks delicate and delicious.
She brought the plate to Rong Hao, and raised her eyes to look at Rong Hao shyly: "Lord Wang, please taste it, the little girl made it herself." ”
Rong Hao looked at the rose sugar cake, it was very good-looking. Raised his hand and pinched a piece and handed it to Su Xia's mouth, "Xiao Xia, you love sweets the most, eat to see if it's sweet or not." ”
It's a bit rude not to open your mouth. Su Xia opened his mouth and took a bite and chewed, "It's quite sweet and delicious." ”
Rong Hao smiled and put the remaining sugar cake in his hand into his mouth, "Hmm, it's good, delicious." By the way, he took the plate in Su Jiaojiao's hand and put it on the small table in front of Su Xia, "Xiao Xia will eat more if she likes to eat." Thank you, Miss Su. ”
Su Jiaojiao was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth, but she couldn't show any unhappiness, and she had to talk to Rong Hao with a smile, "If the prince and Grandpa Su like it, the little girl will be happy." You eat slowly, the little girl has to rush home to celebrate the New Year with her family, so she won't bother the queen and the prince. After saying that, he saluted the queen and Rong Hao, and then retired.
Outside Fengxiang Palace, Green Branch was waiting at the door, and when he saw Su Jiaojiao returning with a feather, he looked dejected, and he greeted him and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" Didn't you talk to the prince? ”
Su Jiaojiao gathered her clothes, her face revealed anger, and she whispered: "It's said, but that little eunuch is really in the way, and I have to find a way to solve it quickly." ”
Green Zhi supported her and comforted: "Don't worry, girl, Madame has already visited Concubine Hua a few years ago, and Niangniang is already thinking of a way." You see, isn't this just going to summon you into the palace to meet with the prince, don't worry, everything will turn around. ”
Su Jiaojiao looked at the palace people walking in an orderly manner on both sides of the road, and clenched her fists, "Miss Ben must marry the Seventh Prince, no one can stop her, I just want to be the life of the princess." ”
This is Ji Ming passing by head-on, and he is in charge of patrolling today. Seeing Su Jiaojiao at a glance, he bared his teeth and waved at Su Jiaojiao: "Miss Su, why do you have time to go to the palace to play today?" ”
When Su Jiaojiao saw Ji Ming, she immediately changed her ruthless expression just now, and smiled: "Brother Ji Ming, I was summoned by the queen today." It's so cold, why don't you wear more clothes? ”
Ji Minghan smiled: "I practice martial arts, I'm not afraid of the cold, I'll escort you out of the palace." ”
The east is not bright and the west is bright, it is good to have a spare tire, Su Jiaojiao accepted Ji Ming's kindness with a smile.
