Chapter 153
In the spring of the second year of Taiping, several weddings in the capital were more and more solemn.
The banquet to celebrate the king's wedding began on the first day of the wedding day, and it was lively for three days.
On the day of the wedding, the welcoming team set off from the Qingwang Mansion to the White Mansion, went to the palace after picking up the bride, completed the ceremony in the Huangji Palace, toured the city for a week, and finally returned to the Qingwang Mansion for a wedding banquet.
The royal candy and red paper scattered all the way, and the whole city was happy.
Bai Lingting was carried into the Qingwang Mansion in the princess's eight-carried sedan chair, and behind her sedan chair was a red four-person sedan chair, which was the sedan chair that the side concubine Duodan was riding, and was also carried into the courtyard of the Qingwang Mansion.
The concubines who were married on the same day could not attend the ceremony, so they could only sit in the cave room and wait for the groom to lift their hijabs and drink the wedding wine.
But this night, Duo Dan sat until dawn, and did not wait for King Qing.
With an indifferent expression, she lifted her hijab, and ordered the maid to bring hot water and sleep by herself.
The maid was about to shed tears when she was aggrieved, but Duo Dan smiled instead: "I don't love him, what's there to be sad about?" Never lose sight of our purpose. ”
The maid knelt down sadly and said, "Yes, all the people of the dome will always remember the dedication of the princess......"
On the day after the wedding, King Qing brought the main concubine and the side concubine into the palace to say goodbye.
Bai Lingting was wearing a red princess dress, her face was ruddy, her expression was complacent, she was very happy to meet the Queen Mother and Emperor Yong, and prepared a rich red envelope for the sister-in-law and uncles in the palace.
Qu Muge took her thick red envelope and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
Bai Lingting said proudly: "This sister-in-law is much better than my cousin." ”
She took out another box and said, "This is a birthday gift from King Qing and me, I have to go back tomorrow, and I can't enter the palace to celebrate your birthday." ”
Qu Muge was very surprised, she didn't expect Bai Lingting to be so attentive to her now, and she still remembered her birthday when she got married.
She sincerely thanked her this time and accepted the gift happily.
The next day, Taixuan's birthday.
In accordance with the routine rules, the palace rewarded longevity noodles, longevity wine and birthday gifts at breakfast, and Emperor Yongdi also specially gave her a day off.
Shou noodles were eaten in Cining Palace, and Emperor Yong also came to accompany them.
After Emperor Yongdi left, Empress Dowager Yu's face sank, and she said slowly: "Ge'er, after today, you are already fifteen years old, and your mother entered the palace at the age of fifteen and married the emperor. ”
Qu Muge put down her chopsticks, thinking that Empress Dowager Yu wanted to discuss her marriage.
But Empress Dowager Yu's next sentence was to ask: "The emperor said that you will have a day off today, why, he still checks your homework every day?" ”
Qu Muge sighed in his heart, it's not good, he wants to show his stuffing.
Empress Dowager Yu actually had doubts in her heart.
In recent months, she has arranged a lot of palace affairs for Taixuan to do, but no matter how many things there are, she concentrates on dealing with them in the afternoon and never does anything in the morning.
Sometimes, the father-in-law or the aunt in charge of the house has an urgent matter to find her, and no one can be found, so she sued the queen mother several times, and Taixuan only explained that she had the homework assigned by Mr. Bai Jia, and it was a rule set for herself to study in the morning and do things in the afternoon, which could not be broken.
The Queen Mother just thought that this child was too studious, which was a good thing, but it was not very good.
But before she could tell Ding Mao, she didn't say anything.
Today, when I heard Emperor Yongdi say that she would take a day off and not check her homework, Empress Dowager Yu felt a little unhappy.
Emperor Yong didn't even care about the prince's homework, why did he take care of Taixuan's homework alone?
But Empress Dowager Yu's unhappiness is not too strong, after all, Taixuan is just a princess, and she can't compare with the prince.
Qu Muge also hurriedly explained: "My father always said that my handwriting was poor, and my articles were not good, and I couldn't say decent words. I probably want me to be more knowledgeable, so that I can help you share more of the harem affairs. ”
Empress Dowager Yu nodded, after contact these days, Taixuan has done a very good job in managing accounts and things in the harem and sending people, but if she wants to write a decree to reward those show girls, she can't come up with it, and her cultural skills are a little worse.
Coming out of Cining Palace, Qu Muge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her foundation in the palace is not stable now, she doesn't want to offend the Queen Mother at all, and she doesn't want to be regarded as a thorn in the side of the eldest prince.
When she returned to the Body Yuan Palace, Bai Yuanhui was already waiting for her.
Bai Yuan returned to the palace early in the morning to congratulate Taixuan on his birthday on behalf of the Bai family.
Because he was busy preparing for his marriage and Bai Lingting's marriage, Qu Muge was also busy with the affairs of the palace, and the two did not sit down and talk well for a long time.
Qu Muge was free today, so he asked about the recent situation of the Bai family.
She thought in her heart that Bai Yuan had the support of Bai Lingting, the princess's sister, and Xie Zhiyin, the virtuous helper, and it was time to strive for some results.
She pondered and said, "You and your sister have been married for a month, but I haven't taken the time to see you, is she still used to it in the house?" ”
Bai Yuan smiled back and said: "Bosom friend respects her in-laws and treats her aunt and nephew well, and everyone in the family likes her very much." ”
Qu Muge asked, "Does my grandmother like it too?" ”
Bai Yuanhui's face froze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Now that the third uncle's family is serving in front of my grandmother, we don't have to go to say hello often, but we are all right." ”
Qu Muge didn't ask much about the three rooms, and changed the topic and said: "The household department is implementing the "Tianlin Law", and the emperor appointed Yanbei as a pilot project, and appointed King Qing as a special envoy, and he will go north in the near future. This move is not only to cut the domain, but also to collect the land, the king of Yanbei will not obey the orders of King Qing, what is the position of the Bai family at that time? Will you and your grandmother ever be safe? ”
Qu Muge studied politics day by day, and became more and more aware of these things.
Bai Yuan also learned something from Gu Nanye and the Xie family before he returned, but he didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly, and he didn't expect that the emperor would send King Qing to go out in person.
Qu Muge didn't wait for him to express his position, and said directly: "In the matter of Yanbei, King Qing has a resolute attitude, and probably thinks that if it is handled properly, he will be able to win the position of the crown prince." Duo Dan even presented King Qiuqiong's edict to King Qing, allowing King Qing to mobilize Qiuqiong's cavalry to exert pressure on the border of Yanbei at a critical moment. Duo Danshang has done this, you don't want to make it difficult for Princess Qing. ”
Bai Yuanhui was taken aback, obviously not expecting Duo Dan to support King Qing to this point.
Bai Yuan replied: "Don't worry, princess, Sister Ting is now married to King Qing, the eldest uncle of the Xie family is in power, and my mother is from the same clan as Princess Tao, no matter what aspect it is, I should do more in this matter." ”
Qu Muge said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, no matter how good you think, if it is a disaster, it can also make you unable to prevent it." Since my grandmother likes Sanfang so much, let them go back to their hometown in Youyang together, so that she won't be criticized in the capital. ”
Bai Yuan nodded back and said, "I understand, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that he agreed so simply, Qu Muge was a little uneasy, and said, "How sure are you?" If I can help you, just tell me. ”
Bai Yuan smiled back and said, "The princess and the marquis have already helped me a lot, if I don't even have the ability of the Qi family, how can I assist the emperor in leveling the world?" Whether it succeeds or not, let me try it first. ”
