It's the wax moon in a blink of an eye.

This is the first New Year after the establishment of the Mu State, and it should have been celebrated, but because the three-year filial piety period that Mu Jun Li Spring should have kept for his father Li Sui has not expired, he has not been congratulated in Chongqing.

Although Chongqing has not been congratulated, on New Year's Day, hundreds of officials will inevitably go to the palace to pay tribute to the saint and the queen mother, and the saint also gave a royal banquet, and everyone received the banquet and returned to the house.

The edicts of the officials and eunuchs also went to the palace to salute the queen mother and queen. After the salute was over, the Queen Mother and the Queen deliberately left Mrs. Kou and Yao Hei'er to speak in the palace.

The crown princess Kou Yuniang brought a few palace maids to personally serve tea and delicate snacks. Mrs. Kou and Yao Hei'er hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Niangniang is so polite, how can the courtiers afford it?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan smiled, "You just have to sit, she is your child, what can you not afford it." ”

Mrs. Kou hurriedly said, "That being said, now it is the distinction between the monarch and the minister, and the courtiers dare not be presumptuous. ”

Empress Dowager Yan ordered Kou Yuniang to sit beside her, and Mrs. Kou and Yao Hei'er sat down again and gossiped to pass the time.

When Yao Hei'er quietly looked at Kou Yuniang, she saw that she was becoming more and more graceful and luxurious, and saw that she was a little bulky, so she smiled and asked, "Queen Mother, is the crown princess pregnant?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Yu Niang with a doting face, and said with a smile, "No, it's been more than four months, and this summer, the mourning family can hold their great-grandson." ”

Yao Hei'er hurriedly stood up again, and saluted again: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother!" Congratulations to the Queen! Congratulations to the Crown Princess! Since the mother is pregnant, she should not let the mother work. ”

Empress Dowager Yan smiled and took Yu Niang's hand and said, "That's right, the mourning family ordered her to rest for a long time, and she was always idle." is still a good daughter raised by Mrs. Kou. The mourning family only has one son of the emperor in this life, and the queen only added three grandsons to the mourning family, this granddaughter-in-law, the mourning family only treats it as a granddaughter. ”

He said to Yao Hei'er, "Mrs. Yao Guo, the mourning family is also discussing with the queen these days, and when the New Year is over, choose a good day, and give King Ning and Qiong Yatou a kiss, and this palace will be even more lively." That Qiong girl, in my opinion, is also a very good manners, with these two granddaughters-in-law, the mourning family is no longer dissatisfied. ”

Empress Yang also smiled: "Not really. The Queen Mother is full of praise for these two children every day. King Ning's mansion has also been built, it depends on Mrs. Yao Guo's intentions, when she is willing to send her daughter out of the cabinet. ”

Yao Hei'er smiled: "The queen mother said that she laughed. Qiong'er can be married to His Royal Highness King Ning, which is a blessing that can't be begged for. What day did the queen mother and the queen choose, and the courtiers naturally had nothing to say. When I go back today, I will prepare a few dowries for Qiong'er, although the queen mother and the queen don't look at it, it is also a little bit of my mother's heart. ”

Empress Dowager Yan clapped her hand and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, I, the old woman, will call the shots." Ming'er summoned the people from Qin Tianjian into the palace and chose a date. ”

Yao Hei'er was busy and thanked him.

Empress Yang took a piece of gold-topped crisp fruit from the plate, presented it to Empress Dowager Yan, and said to Yao Hei'er, "Mrs. Yao Guo, this palace heard that you have married the Jin family again?" ”

Yao Hei'er hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to the queen, that's exactly the case." This time, General Jin entered Beijing from Jiyan City to report on his work, and he sent a matchmaker to the door to ask for his son Jin Heng, I thought that these two children were also of the same age, and their personalities were similar, and the families of the two families were also a good match, so I agreed. It's just that my second girl is still young now, and I will wait for two years to marry them. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to ask for the reward of the queen mother and the queen. ”

Empress Dowager Yan said happily, "The mourning family loves this kind of excitement the most, and when they get married, the mourning family will definitely go to beg for a cup of happy wine and drink." Then he turned to Empress Yang and said, "Speaking of General Jin, the mourning family remembered that when we were in Jiyan City, the emperor sent General Jin to guard the border pass, and this General Jin took great care of us, and now that he has entered Beijing, you can prepare more rewards, so that General Jin can bring it back to his wife." ”

Empress Yang hurriedly agreed.

Mrs. Kou saw that the hour was not early, so she quietly gave Yao Hei'er a look, Yao Hei'er understood, and the two stood up and said goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

Empress Dowager Yan smiled and said, "Under the New Year, it will not delay your reunion with your family, Yu Niang, you will send your mother and Aunt Yao for the mourning family." ”

Yu Niang also stood up busily, respectfully agreed, and sent Mrs. Kou and Yao Hei'er out.

Outside the palace, Mrs. Kou quietly took Yu Niang's hand and whispered, "Yu'er, are you okay?" ”

Yu Niang smiled coquettishly, "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry, your old man." Every day, there were five or six doctors who took turns to take my pulse. The prince - the prince has treated me very well. ”

Yao Hei'er saw that the two of them were talking to each other, so she walked a little slower, just pretending to enjoy the scenery in the palace, and fell far behind. Seeing that the two of them had said enough, Mrs. Kou turned around and called her, and Fang hurriedly followed.

Out of the palace, Yao Hei'er saw Mrs. Kou's face, showing a lonely look, and she also understood in her heart that the two of them only had this one daughter, but they became the princess again, and they were bound by the etiquette law, and they couldn't see each other several times a year, Mrs. Kou was inevitably a little lost, so she hurriedly persuaded, "Madam, you are an understanding person, we are mothers, but we are just looking forward to a good future for the children. We just want to open some. ”

Mrs. Kou's eyes were a little shining, and she sighed, "Sister, what are you talking about?" It's just that every day at home, there are only two of us, and we are a little sad with big eyes and small eyes. ”

The servants of the two families had already driven over, and Yao Hei'er said, "Since this is the case, Mrs. will go to the house with me to sit down for a while, how about it?" I'm afraid that the two little girls in my family will make people have a headache every day, just for fear that my wife will be bored. ”

Mrs. Kou thought for a while and said with a smile, "Since it is my sister's kindness, how can I refuse?" The one in our family also went to have dinner with my colleagues today, and I was afraid that I would not come back sooner or later, so I would go to my sister's house to make trouble for a day. ”

With that, the two got into the car, and Mrs. Kou instructed the coachman to follow Mrs. Yao Guo's car and go to Yao's mansion together.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhong Cuiling took the three daughters of the Yao family out and saluted Mrs. Kou. Mrs. Kou took a few purses containing gold bills from the mother-in-law who followed her and rewarded them to the three Miss Yao. The three of them were busy and thanking each other, hugging left and right, carrying Yao Heier and Mrs. Kou to the inner hall.

Zhong Cuiling hurriedly went to arrange the banquet. A few people ate and drank orders, and another singer played and sang in the hall, only to make trouble until twilight, and Mrs. Kou said goodbye and went back. Yao Hei'er couldn't keep it, so she took her three daughters and sent them out.

After sending Mrs. Kou away, Yao Hei'er called Yao Qiong into the room and said that Empress Dowager Yan wanted to marry her and King Ning.

Yao Qiong lowered her head, Yao Hei'er said, she agreed, neither disobeyed, nor did she see any joy.

Yao Hei'er couldn't help but feel a little distressed, sighed, and said, "Qiong'er, my mother is sorry for you." It's just that we don't have a man in our family, so we have to rely on you to marry this family to support decency. Fortunately, King Naning, in terms of appearance, knowledge, and conduct, is also extremely outstanding. The Queen Mother and the Queen love you very much, and if you marry in the past, you will not be sinned. Get along well with King Ning, and if you have a child in the future, you will understand your mother's suffering. ”

Yao Qiong blushed and whispered in agreement.

Yao Hei'er gently stroked her daughter's shoulder, and said softly, "Go ahead, I'm free these days, let's make a few wedding dresses and shoes and socks, and I'll ask your Aunt Zhong to help you too." Although there are now needlework people in the family, when the daughters go out of the cabinet, they always have to have a few hand-made clothes and shoes, which is not rude. ”

Yao Qiong stood up obediently, gave a dignified salute, and gently withdrew.

Yao Hei'er listened to her daughter's small footsteps and the crisp jingle sound of the jade forbidden step on her skirt, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
