Chapter Fifty-Three: The Lord's Ceremony
When Begonia and Xiang Jin arrived, Prince De and the Prince Princess were standing at the bottom of the steps to greet the guests. Today's guest is Mrs. Mu next to the Queen Mother, she came to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Queen Mother, and the crown princess Shen Shunhua and the princess Xu Guanping also arrived. The salute was in the main hall, and the female guests were also in the main hall, and they were crowded into a room.
This time, it was the Empress Dowager Zhou who was the master, and she wanted to host a grand ceremony for Qingyao County, so Prince De also rushed over from Shudi.
Haitang soon saw Mrs. Sun: "Mother-in-law, you have come, I'm afraid that there will be too many people to find you!" ”
"Today, most of the nobles in the capital are here, and you are also here to recognize people." Mrs. Sun took Haitang's hand and whispered: "The first person on the left to wear red clothes is the crown princess, and the one next to her is the princess, and these are the two who have become relatives in the prince." A few of them are Concubine Su's niece Su Manzhen, Kangdinghou's concubine Zhao Jiayi, and Miss Zhao Jiamin is steady, so I didn't see where I was sitting......"
Mrs. Sun said one, and Begonia nodded slightly. She studied medicine for 12 years, and the first "hope" of looking at what she heard and asked her not only allowed her to learn to see medical certificates, but also practiced the vision of seeing people and recognizing people. After reading it like this, she can basically remember the other party.
"The two next to the pillar are the second princess and the third princess, opposite them, on the left is Pei Zhixin, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, she is a famous talented woman in the capital, but it is worth befriending. On the right is Ji Guifei's niece Ji Qinglan," Mrs. Sun covered her mouth and said softly:
"Originally, I was going to promise to be the princess of King Xian, but the Queen Mother chose Xu Guanping, the granddaughter of Mrs. Xu, and now I don't know if Concubine Ji Guifei wants to give her to the crown prince and King Xian as a side concubine, or King Duan and King Kang as concubines, so I don't know. Immortals fight, let's just see! ”
Hearing the word Duanwang, Haitang's heart jumped a few times. Only then did she realize that King Duan, like other clans, would have three wives and four concubines...... Immediately she was in a daze, and Mrs. Sun couldn't listen to what she said.
"Prince De has come in, and he is about to salute." Mrs. Sun said.
I saw Prince De and Prince Princess walking into the main hall, followed by the younger generation of Duan Wang, Xian Wang, King Kang, Yu Shizi, Zhao Xiaohou Ye, etc., as well as Prince Qing, Prince An and other elders who were blind with Prince De. They were originally in the east room on the east side, and they came to watch the ceremony when they were about to salute.
Someone in the female guest suddenly whispered about these handsome princes and princes. Cheng Xiangjin and Wan Xuefei stood next to the door, when the king entered the door, she saw her smiling at her, she was in the fog for a while, she couldn't find the north, and saw the prince of Yu Shizi in a dark white robe, as if he was saving her that day, and he was fascinated for a long time.
Cheng Xiangjin made up her mind, no matter what, she must confess today.
Today's Yousi is the female official next to the Queen Mother, and she is standing next to Prince and Princess De with a plate covered with a red cloth.
The praiser is the eldest princess Xie Yanwan.
The lord of Yao County is wearing a black red edge of the boy's clothes, the first salute, after the ceremony, go back to change clothes, change into a cyan skirt and come out to do the second plus ceremony, and then go back to change clothes, change into a large-sleeved dress, wear a gorgeous and gorgeous tiara, and perform three additional salutes.
I only heard the eldest princess chanting: "With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served." Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. "Lord Yao bowed three times and then saluted.
The male guests left the venue and returned to the east room. When Duanwang passed by, he smiled and nodded to Haitang and Mrs. Sun, the smile on the corner of Haitang's mouth had not disappeared, and Yu Shizi also looked at it.
A boy walking next to him was surprised to find that this iceberg brother seemed to be smiling! He followed Xie Yuanyu's gaze and saw the begonia that was lowering his eyes. He sniffed.
Xiang Jin, who was standing behind Begonia, gritted her teeth!
When they walked by, Mrs. Sun whispered, "One is the elder brother of the county lord of Qingyao, and the other is the philosopher of the Marquis of Kangding, Zhao Xiaohou. In the past, your brother-in-law also studied in the palace with them, but now they have grown up. ”
"Is Brother Yanxi coming back next month?" Begonia asked.
Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded: "I've been out for two years, and I came back to Dali Temple to take up a post, and at the end of this year, I just let him and Miss Gu get married." My stepmother didn't ask for anything, she just begged them to have children quickly and give me a hug to play. ”
Begonia also pursed her lips and smiled: "As you wish!" ”
After the three salutes, the female guests sat down together, talking and laughing and waiting for the banquet to begin. Haitang said: "Mother-in-law, I'll go to the inner hall to see Lord Yao." Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement, and Haitang took Shuang'er to the inner hall.
After passing through the verandah, I saw Yu Shizi standing on the verandah. Begonia went over to see the ceremony: "The son of the world is overjoyed." ”
The prince was invisible, and said lightly: "It's my sister who is happy." ”
"Yes." Haitang smiled again, "Originally, I congratulated you on your great joy and prepared gifts, so it will all be given to the county lord of Qingyao." With that, he turned and walked to the other end of the verandah.
The prince wanted to speak and stopped, and he was anxious for a long time and only squeezed out one sentence: "You, you, you......... So ruthless! ”
Haitang didn't reply, only smiled: "Go back and ask the county lord to get it!" ”
Only then did the prince feel relieved. I want to go over immediately to see what kind of gift it is, but I'm afraid of bumping into the female guest in the inner hall. His face was constantly changing, and he suddenly heard a woman next to him call him: "I've seen Yu Shizi!" ”
Yu Shizi looked down and didn't know him. He nodded expressionlessly.
"Cheng Xiangjin has never thanked Yu Shizi in person for saving his life." Cheng Xiangjin smiled and made another formal salute. When she looked up at Shizi, she raised her eyebrows, flew her fox eyes, and her eyes flowed, and she was charming.
When Shizi heard the word "Cheng", he remembered that this was Miss Cheng Er, Cheng Haitang's sister-in-law, and his face softened: "It's just a trivial matter, and it's a matter of effort." Miss Cheng Er, please take care of yourself. ”
With that, he walked out of the verandah.
