Chapter 315: The Edict of the Concubine
Tong Xiaowu knelt down to accept the order, and all the maids and daughters around her congratulated, at this moment, Tong Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, Xuanyuan Yuchen was not a prince, and she was only a shopkeeper, but she didn't expect to come to the capital once, but she didn't go back, he became a prince, but she became a woman who was not worthy of him.
Finally, now she was as flat as his shoulders.
"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess ......" Mama Zhang on the side wiped her tears and gave the reward to the father-in-law who came to read the holy decree in the palace to show her gratitude.
Qingxiu and Xiaohe smiled happily, they have been with Tong Xiaowu for a long time, and they know their master more or less, don't look at her seeking the position of this princess, in fact, the most important thing in her heart is not this name, but King Xuan.
"Lady?" Xuanyuan Yuchen stepped forward, reached out and took the holy decree in her hand, opened it and looked at it, there was not only the emperor's jade seal, but also the queen's queen's seal.
Tong Xiaowu turned to look at him.
"The ceremony is scheduled for half a month, and you're going to get busy!"
"Isn't it, isn't it said by the Holy Decree? Let the prince and the princess hold a wedding again, so can our palace be busy? Mama Zhang on the side reacted and turned her head to look at Xiuqing and Xiaohe.
"Hurry up, by the way, the old slave has to go to the palace, since the emperor and the queen have set a date, it is not necessary to adopt and ask for a name, but what is the content of asking Ji? Let's prepare for the six rites, and the next three rites are the most troublesome, and the old slave will enter the palace. ”
"Mama Zhang, don't be in a hurry......"
The prince of the palace, who had been rewarded, opened his mouth and took out two red posts from his sleeve and handed them over.
"The emperor has asked the little one to bring it over, this is looking for Qin Tianjian, this is the content of King Xuan's marriage, and the date and hour of marriage calculated according to the birth dates of King Xuan and Princess Xuan, all here!"
"But thank you Gonggong Li, thank you so much, you don't have to run the old slave!" Mama Zhang happily stretched out her hand to take it, and was very grateful.
Tong Xiaowu looked at Xuanyuan Yuchen and asked in a low voice, "Haven't we all been married?" Why do you have to have a wedding? It's troublesome, right? ”
"In the past, we were poor, and the wedding was almost the same, but this time my father personally decreed that it would be held again to echo the royal family's requirements, so that everyone in the world would know that my princess of King Xuan was Tong Xiaowu."
"But after half a month, I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid my parents won't be able to catch up, right?" Tong Xiaowu thought of her relatives in her hometown.
"It's too late, I've already asked Lu Xing to go back to pick up people, don't worry!" Xuanyuan Yuchen reached out and stroked her hair.
The next few days have been busy, and the affairs of the office have been handed over to An Luo and Fu Jialan, but the Duli side, as well as the Buzhou and Qinzhou schools, have to be busy.
However, fortunately, the school has people sent by the emperor and the queen mother to help, as long as the money needed in each county is calculated and appropriated.
When the time comes, the officials will report the list, and then they can allocate funds again according to the list and use it for the teacher's calendar and the student's tuition.
Of course, Tong Xiaowu also listened to the account office sent by the emperor, and set up an inspection team in the local area to prevent them from cheating.
Sure enough, with the help of the government, things went much smoother.
As for dresses and the like, the palace Shangyi Bureau is all contracted, and the palace is mainly to check the list of guests, distribute invitations, as well as banquets and banquets, and evening ceremonies.
Three days before the ceremony, the Shangyi Bureau finally made the clothes, and after being inspected by the Queen Mother, they were sent to the Xuanwang Mansion.
Mama Zhang worked carefully, and after having people check all the thread embroidery, she washed it several times, and then ironed it neatly and locked it.
Tong Xiaowu looked at her delicate appearance and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mama is too careful, right?" ”
Mama Zhang looked around, there were no outsiders, and then she said: "You must be careful, especially the things that come out of the palace......"
Tong Xiaowu raised her eyebrows, disapproving.
Mama Zhang opened her mouth to remind: "During this time, the number of times the princess goes to the palace has increased, listen to Mama's words, you must be careful and careful, you know?" ”
Seeing that Tong Xiaowu was disapproving, she lowered her voice and said:
"The princess didn't know that eight years ago, Concubine Xian, the mother of the fourth prince, was poisoned because of the clothes and was not saved, and everyone in the fashion clothing bureau lost their lives, but so what? Concubine Xian is still dead. ”
When Tong Xiaowu heard this, she was shocked and asked strangely, "Can clothes still kill people?" ”
"Of course I can, that dress was repaired after Concubine Xian asked her to wash it, Concubine Xian was virtuous and didn't like extravagance, and she was very liked by the emperor in the palace at that time.
And the previous dynasty's evaluation of Concubine Xian was also very high, and some people proposed to make Concubine Xian a concubine, but on the third day of the proposal, Concubine Xian's old clothes were retrieved from the Shangyi Bureau after they were not repaired, and after wearing them, they were highly poisoned, and later investigated, it turned out that the clothes had been soaked in poison......
Princess, it's not that the old slave is careful, but fortunately we don't live in the palace, otherwise, the princess's methods may not be good.
Who told you to come out and meet people? Who let you do business? Who told you to hold a bazaar? That's impossible! The queen's inner courtyard is full of women, and that person's heart is really unguardable. ”
Tong Xiaowu took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I must be careful next time I enter the palace." ”
"Princess, there is one more thing, the old slave also has to remind you, if you have the opportunity to choose, try not to go to the East Palace, if the crown princess chooses to summon you, you can't avoid it, remember, no matter what happens, you will treat it as if you didn't see it, you know?"
Tong Xiaowu was slightly stunned, "Mama Zhang, how can you say this?" ”
"Anyway, you just remember, tomorrow you will go to the other courtyard, you can't meet with King Xuan again before you get married, and tomorrow the palace will have a banquet, and all the royal ladies will be in place, according to customs, in the harem, all the doors and courtyards, and all the palaces will invite you to go over to talk, maybe they will give you gifts, you will accept them, and the princess will definitely invite you over, so you must be careful."
"Okay!" It's really troublesome to get married, a hundred times more troublesome than in the countryside.
That night, several villagers from Shanshui Village were brought to King Xuan's Mansion to prepare to participate in King Xuan's evening ceremony the day after tomorrow.
Tong Xiaowu's parents, two sisters and brothers-in-law, as well as Brother Fulin, Sister-in-law Fulin, Li Da, Li Er, Li Xiaomei, and Zhao Hongzhu, together with their sister Zhao Wenjing, heard that Zhao Lichang was busy, so they asked people to bring some dried mushrooms from their hometown, but they didn't come in person.
Xuanyuan Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu didn't know how happy they were to see them, but they were very restrained when they saw the two, and in their hearts, the identities of the two were different.
