Chapter 215: Going to the Banquet
Sister Chu said, hugged Xiao Xuan's arm, raised her head and smiled at Duan Shaolan very proudly.
"Yes, these are all whispers between our sisters-in-law." Xiao Xuan couldn't help laughing, cooperated with Sister Chu, and said to Duan Shaolan. "Don't ask."
"Okay, one-on-two, I won't say anything." Duan Shaolan hurriedly raised his hands in surrender. "It's good if you are happy, if Sister Chu likes it here, she will simply stay and stay for a few more days, and when I am not at home during the day, you will accompany your sister-in-law."
"Well, my mother has allowed me to stay a few more days." Sister Chu nodded. "Sister-in-law will take me out to a banquet tomorrow."
"Really?" When Duan Shaolan heard this, he remembered what Xiao Xuan had mentioned to her before. "Are you going to the Eternal Princess's Mansion?"
"That's right." Xiao Xuan was instructing Dan Tangerine beside her to order her to order someone to bring dinner. "The post sent by my grandmother specifically said that Sister Chu should go with me. By the way, today is your first day in the military department, is everything okay? ”
"Well, it's all good." Duan Shaolan said with a smile. "My peak is my grandfather's former lieutenant general, who was accidentally injured by a poisoned arrow seven years ago when he was following my grandfather to quell the Lingnan Bandits. Fortunately, the accompanying military doctor found that the arrow was inappropriate in time and dealt with it, although his life was guaranteed, but his right hand was left with the root of the disease due to the poisonous residue, and he couldn't lift his knife, let alone ride a horse, so his grandfather recommended him to join the military department. He was originally from a family and was literate and hyphenated, and now he has become a squire in the military department. His Majesty assigned me to his subordinate this time, so that I could get started with the affairs of the military department as soon as possible. ”
Duan Shaolan said so many words, Sister Chu opened a pair of round eyes and looked at him in confusion, as if she didn't understand.
Xiao Xuan listened to Duan Shaolan's words and nodded with satisfaction.
She was still a little worried about him today, worried that even if Duan Shaolan, who was a concubine, went to the military department, he would be unsuitable and would be bullied or something, but when she heard this, she knew that Emperor Chu had already taken care of Duan Shaolan, and arranged for him to be the old department of Zhenguo Gong to be his peak.
"That's good, then I'm much more relieved." Xiao Xuan said.
At this time, Dan Tang led people to arrange dinner, and asked Xiao Xuan and others to move to the flower hall for dinner.
After dinner, Huang Yu, who was temporarily sent by Xiao Xuan to Sister Chu's side to serve, led Sister Chu back to Langhua Pavilion to rest.
At night, Duan Shaolan hugged Xiao Xuan, and the exhausted Xiao Xuan had already fallen asleep. Duan Shaolan grabbed Xiao Xuan's slender body with one hand, and played with a strand of long hair scattered around her sideburns with the other. Xiao Xuan's hair was extremely well maintained, not only exuding a lush fragrance of flowers and fruits, but also as smooth and silky as satin between Duan Shaolan's fingers.
Duan Shaolan looked at the dragon and phoenix pattern on the top of the tent, and then looked at Xiao Xuan who was sleeping beside him. Even though it has been more than a month since he got married, even at this time he still has an inexplicable feeling in his heart, everything seems to be in a beautiful dream.
Xu was because his eyes were hotter, Xiao Xuan suddenly muttered in his mouth, and he woke up.
"You're not sleeping yet?" Xiao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at him, his voice soft. "Aren't you going to wake up early tomorrow? Is there something going on? ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be a little worried, and he had to get up to check.
"Don't get up, I'm fine." Duan Shaolan hurriedly tightened his arms and hugged her tighter. "It's just that when I look at you, I feel like I'm in a dream. With my background, can I really be your colt? ”
"What's wrong with your origins?" Xiao Xuan said unhappily. "I think you and I are the most compatible, I don't marry anyone but you, you are the best one in my heart."
Xiao Xuan gently rested his head against Duan Shaolan's bare chest, leaning on the warm skin and listening to the heartbeat from his chest, he felt particularly beautiful. This is the affection in the heart, but what kind of image this person is in the hearts of the world, he is all good and good in her heart.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyue, for your love for Weichen." Duan Shaolan said deliberately funny, and lowered his head to kiss her. "Alright, I'm ready to go to sleep, too."
"yes, okay." Xiao Xuan was tired in the end, and the effort to accompany him for a few words gradually became sleepy again.
Eventually, the two of them hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xu was so tired last night.
Duan Shaolan got up early in the morning, Xiao Xuan was unconscious, and Sister Chu, who was still dressed, came to look for her, and Lu Lin came in to wake her up.
"Princess, princess." While asking his subordinates to prepare things for Xiao Xuan, Lu Lin leaned over and squatted beside Xiao Xuan's bed. "Princess, I have to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou today, the hour is not early, Miss Chu is dressed and waiting outside."
"Hmm, what time is it?" Xiao Xuan turned over, and his arm subconsciously touched the side of his body, but he felt empty. "Where's the pony?"
"Pony? The concubine had already left the house, and before leaving, he specially instructed the slaves and maids not to disturb the princess's sleep. Lu Lin took a warm handkerchief from the maid and gently applied it to Xiao Xuan's face to help her wake up. Princess, get up quickly. ”
"Okay, I'm up." Xiao Xuan waved her hand and motioned for Lu Lin to remove the handkerchief from her face. "Let people serve some easy-to-digest pastries and fresh milk tea for Sister Chu first."
"yes, got it." The green forest responded.
Because she knew that Sister Chu was waiting outside, Xiao Xuan didn't delay for any time, and came out after dressing and dressing up.
Now she is a woman, she has pulled up a high peony bun, her eyebrows are dotted with a touch of begonia patterns, and the hair ornament on her head is no longer as playful and cute as a girl. Although it is not very luxurious and gorgeous, it adds to the grace of her royal background.
"Sister-in-law, you look so good today." Seeing Xiao Xuan turn out of the room, Sister Chu looked up at her and sighed very sincerely. "It's like a fairy in the sky."
"I see that the milk tea delivered from the kitchen today must have put a lot of sugar, otherwise how could our Sister Chu's mouth become so sweet?" Xiao Xuan smiled and sat in the vacant seat next to Sister Chu, Lu Lin and the others hurriedly brought up the formal breakfast, Xiao Xuan gently pinched Sister Chu'er's slightly bulging cheeks and said with a smile. "Okay, stop eating these pastries, beware of getting fat if you eat so many sweets."
"My sister-in-law's pastries are so delicious, like the ones that my sister-in-law sent to me from the palace, I like them very much."
"Because it's a pastry made by the same master, the taste is naturally similar." When Xiao Xuan got married, several masters in the palace who were good at making pastries and Xiao Xuan's favorite dishes were given to Xiao Xuan's princess's mansion. "If you really like it, I'll ask the masters to make some fresh ones every few days and send them to you. The left and right masters are now in my princess's mansion, which is more convenient. ”
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
In the imperial capital, whether it is a married lady or an unmarried daughter, they are all proud to receive a post from the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou. You must know that with the current identity of the eldest princess of Yongshou's mansion, the people who can enter her eyes and enter her mansion to participate in the banquet are naturally looked at by others.
Married wives, whether they are boys or girls of proper marriageable age, want to find a suitable partner in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou. You must know that the people who can be invited by the eldest princess of eternal life will not be too bad in terms of background and conduct, and as long as the children fall in love, the adults in the family will be able to achieve a good relationship with their children.
In the past year or two, more than a dozen marriages have been facilitated at various banquets in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou.
Xiao Xuan's appearance after marriage was the first time he officially appeared in the social circle of the imperial capital as a woman. Therefore, this time, the eldest princess of Yongshou invited the female dependents of half of the family in the imperial capital to come over and build momentum for Xiao Xuan.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongshou, He, personally greeted Xiao Xuan, and led Xiao Xuan and Sister Chu's sister-in-law into the eldest princess's mansion and received them at the flower banquet.
When the ladies present saw that Xiao Xuan finally appeared, they stepped forward to salute one after another, and naturally noticed Sister Chu who was following Xiao Xuan. Sister Chu looked very good, and she was also carefully dressed up today, and at first glance, she was very good with this princess who was favored in front of His Majesty, and many ladies who were the same age as Sister Chu in the family silently wrote her down.
The eldest princess of Yongshou personally summoned Sister Chu to speak in front of her, although Sister Chu was still a little timid, fortunately, her posture was still down-to-earth and generous. The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at Xiao Xuan's face, and was also very affectionate to her, took her hand and asked a few words, and wiped off a pair of jade bracelets on her hand to reward her.
At this time, the ladies who had been watching Sister Chu'er silently made a note in their hearts.
The eldest princess of Yongshou rewarded Sister Chu with things, and her two daughters-in-law, He and Ouyang, could not be left behind, and took objects from their bodies and rewarded them to Sister Chu.
Sister Chu returned to Xiao Xuan's side with her things in her hand and whispered to ask her opinion.
"It's okay, these are all gifts from my grandmother and aunts, don't worry about accepting them." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
"But these things ......" Sister Chu still hesitated.
"It's okay, since my grandmother and aunts have rewarded you, it means that you are worthy." Xiao Xuan said. "I'll warn you of something that's really wrong, don't worry."
