Chapter 31: Grandson
Xiao Longzhuang stroked his palms and laughed: "A-Ning, you are helping your sister ask me for something in a different way!" ”
Xiao Jianyu, the son of Kang Yijun Xiao Zhenhuan, also shouted: "Let my uncle and grandfather make a note!" Uncle and grandfather are the best at cheating! ”
"Good!" Xiao Qian was very happy and made a final decision, "Uncle Wang, you can make a note." ”
Since the death of the queen, everyone rarely saw such a happy look on Xiao Gan's face, and they all became happy.
Even Mrs. Cuiwei's Zheng followed suit: "I also heard that Aman's daughter can write poems at the age of four, is this the child?" Well, it's a water spirit to be born. ”
She plucked a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with red treasures from her head and handed it to an old woman: "Mama Zhu, put this in front of Your Majesty, it will be counted as my colorful head." Let a few children compose poems, and whoever makes the best will belong to whoever else has the best color. ”
As soon as Mrs. Cuiwei spoke, Empress Dowager Xu and the ladies of the palace also took off their jewelry to make colorful heads.
Xiao Zhenting, the son of Xiao Longzhuang, Fu'an Jun, raised his glass and smiled: "I am young, and I also make a poem with a shy face to win a lottery!" ”
Xiao Qian pointed at him and said with a smile: "You can't learn to play tricks like you Ah Weng, although you are young, you are a lonely generation, how can you compete with a group of children like Ah Hao!" Hurry up and pull out something to add color. Lone knows that you want to save something for yourself to marry a daughter-in-law. Don't worry, when you marry a daughter-in-law, Lone will give you a gift! ”
's words made Xiao Zhenting blush.
Fu'anjun's wife, Qin, got up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Your Majesty's auspicious words, the concubine will give him a look after fifteen." If it is according to his temperament, the concubine does not know when she will be able to see her daughter-in-law! ”
Xiao Qian became more and more happy: "Okay! If Uncle Wang could not find a satisfactory one, she would enter the palace to consult with Aman. Xiao Qian was so drunk that he didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing.
The Qin clan reacted extremely quickly, without pausing at all, and still smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" If the concubine can't make up her mind, she will enter the palace to find an idea. ”
As he spoke, the ladies of the palace piled up two large trays of color. The palace ladies also prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Xiao Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, with this theme of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, I will give you a stick of incense time, and each of you will make a poem." You older children, don't be compared. ”
As soon as Xiao Yuan got the pen and paper, she was worried-she could really limit the traditional Chinese characters she could have! Anyway, write it first!
She lifted the pen, thought for a while, and then brushed the dragon and phoenix dance, and others were still thinking about it, she had already thrown the pen.
Everyone was attracted by her, Xiao Qian nodded at Gao Hongan, and Gao Hongan hurriedly presented Xiao Yuanhao's poems.
Xiao Qian took it and looked at it, and then frowned.
Mrs. Yu Congyun immediately gloated and asked, "Qilang, is it that the poems written by the tenth princess are unsightly?" ”
Xiao Qian whispered "um": "Ah Hao, I want you to practice calligraphy, in this month's time, your character has grown too slowly." Tomorrow and New Year's Day will give you a day off, and the day after tomorrow, ten small words a day, not wasted. In the future, when you grow up a little more and your wrist strength is enough, you will start to practice big characters, and add five big characters every day. Don't be lazy, I'll check it every day. ”
There was a gasping sound in the hall, Xiao Yuanshu gently pulled Xiao Yuan's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Shi, you find a few palace ladies to help you write, my father is so busy every day, he won't really check you." ”
Xiao Yuan nodded with a bitter face, she really wanted to practice good calligraphy, but she was not a prodigy! Wouldn't it be too cruel to ask her to be a prodigy standard?
"In addition to the words, the poems are well written." Xiao Gan's face regained a smile, "Your brothers and sisters are still thinking about it, but you wrote two poems." ”
There was another uproar in the hall, Yu Congyun was taken aback, and the grapes peeled in his hand rolled down on the table.
"Welcome spring." Xiao Qianqu pointed to the table lightly tapped on the table, beat the beat, and recited, "The rhythm is the same, and the shoulder rubbing hub is harmonious." There is no need to go to the eastern suburbs, spring is in thousands of households. ”
"Good poetry!" It was Xiao Longzhuang who was the first to applaud, "A good sentence 'You don't need to go to the eastern suburbs, spring is in thousands of households'!" ”
His face didn't know if it was because of excitement or because he drank too much, and he became more and more red: "At such a young age, he has such a mind and courage, and he is worthy of being a descendant of my Xiao family!" ”
Xiao Qian also smiled, and after a moment, he frowned again, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
Xiao Longzhuang hurriedly asked, "Why is Your Majesty so pity?" ”
Xiao Qian's eyes wandered over his sons, and after a pause, he said: "It's a pity that Ah Hao's words are really in response to Mrs. Allure's words, and they are unsightly!" ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Empress Dowager Xu is not happy, her little granddaughter is good anywhere, even if Xiao Qian is her own father, she can't say that Xiao Yuan is half a word, "She is only a little older child, and she has just learned to write, so it is good to be able to write like this." His Majesty is too harsh on Ah Hao. ”
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Xiao Qian picked up the paper again and continued to recite, "Yuan Ri." ”
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. ”
After reading for a while, there was silence in the hall for a moment, and Xiao Jianxuan, the fourth prince, was the first to throw the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "As soon as the two poems come out, I don't think we need to make any poems." ”
Even Xiao Yuanshu and Xiao Yuanwen, who don't know how to compose poems and just join in the fun, clapped their hands and laughed: "The poems made by Ah Hao are really nice to read." ”
Xiao Qian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again when he took this piece of paper with crooked writing-it's a pity, it's a pity, why is Wu'er not a man!
"Ah," he said with a frown, "ten small words a day is too little, add five!" ”
"Oops, you're going to wear her out!" Empress Dowager Xu was anxious.
Xiao Qian smiled bitterly and handed the paper in his hand to the Empress Dowager Xu: "Queen Mother, look, there are only a few words in total, she writes crookedly and doesn't say anything, and there are a few words that lack a pen and a few strokes, how can you get such words?" ”
Mrs. Zheng of Cuiwei leaned over and took a look, and said with a smile: "A child, it's already very good to be able to write like this, and she won't be an official in the future, why is Your Majesty so strict?" ”
Empress Dowager Xu also glared at Xiao Qian: "He just doesn't like it!" ”
Xiao Qian couldn't cry or laugh, but no matter how sharp the Empress Dowager Xu's eye knife was, he just refused to let go, and still asked Xiao Yuan to start from the second day of the first month, fifteen words a day, not a word less, Gao Hongan would go to Wanfu Palace early the next morning to put it away and present it to him.
After a competition, there is no doubt that Xiao Yuan won the first place again.
She has a lot of peace of mind this time, since she wants to show her talent, she is afraid of what shocking the world, and a "copy" word is the way to go.
Xiao Yuan is not greedy, and after getting good things, he knows that he has to let a few little princesses pick one first.
But although the princesses are young, they are all people who have seen good things, and no one wants Xiao Yuan to win the lottery.
Only Xiao Yuanru was secretly unhappy. Xiao Yuan is so smart, if he goes to school in Xiaoyingzhou in the future, wouldn't he be praised by gentlemen every day? When the time comes, we will be ahead of her.
No one noticed the little girl's unhappiness, Xiao Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to it, she ran out of food, and before she could catch the song and dance, she was carried by the tortoiseshell to the side hall to change her clothes.
Because she was afraid that Xiao Yuan would stain her clothes with good meals, during the family banquet, Xiao Yuan was different from her brothers and sisters, she wore a regular dress.
At three o'clock, she was about to follow Xiao Qian to Wansheng Gate, facing Wanmin for the first time as a princess, so she had to dress extraordinarily grandly.
A black robe is embroidered with gold thread on a phoenix with wings soaring, the phoenix's eyes are a brilliant ruby, and the long phoenix tail is embroidered with various colored gemstones. The red belt inlaid with white jade is embroidered with gold and silver threads with dark lines of 10,000 characters, tightly binding Xiao Yuan's small waist, which looks particularly neat.
The belt was hung with a red and yellow ethereal red ribbon, highlighting Xiao Yuan's noble status. A small red treasure and a crown of golden phoenix tied up Xiao Yuan's hair, and in the brilliantly lit hall, Xiao Yuan was like a jade girl walking out of the painting, noble and sacred.
Looking at the bronze mirror as tall as one person, Xiao Yuanhao couldn't believe it, is this her? It seems that what the ancients said makes sense, people rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and when she dresses up like this, she really has a bit of the bearing of dominating the world.
As soon as the dressed Xiao Yuan appeared in the main hall, Xiao Qian nodded slightly: "Wu'er should have such a demeanor!" ”
Immediately afterwards, he frowned again and sighed slightly: "It's a pity! ”
Empress Dowager Xu was impatient: "Your Majesty, don't be a pity, Ah Hao is smart and willing to work hard, and within a year, he will definitely practice a good hand." ”
Empress Dowager Xu was extremely protective of her calves, and Xiao Qianlao took Xiao Yuan's good words to talk about things, which made the old lady unhappy in her heart.
Xiao Qian had to smile bitterly and nodded: "What the queen mother said is that she is in a hurry. ”
He stepped down from the throne, took Xiao Yuanhao's hand, and said to her solemnly: "Ah Hao, today you will follow Gu to Wansheng Gate and announce to the world your identity as Princess Yan Guoyan, are you afraid?" ”
Xu was infected by Xiao Qian's emotions, and Xiao Yuanhao also became solemn: "Don't be afraid, my son is the princess of Yan Guoyan, and I should take on the responsibility of the princess on my shoulders." After today, the child will always put the interests of Yan Country first, and keep in mind the safety of Yan Country and the bitterness and happiness of the people. ”
The solemn words came out of the mouth of a young girl, and there was a little milky voice, but no one dared to laugh at it.
Everyone in the palace knows that as long as Xiao Qian does not establish a new queen for a day, Xiao Yuan is the most noble person in this Yan country, except for Xiao Qian.
The family banquet is set up in the Hall of Reverence, from the Hall of Reverence, through the Star Tower, the Shaking Blue Pond, the Yingxun Pavilion, through the Sui'an Gate, all the way is brightly lit, and the long road seems to have no end.
Xiao Qian led Xiao Yuanhao, the father and daughter did not speak, the high Wansheng Gate was close in front of him, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look up, and could only see the bronze armor of the guards on the Wansheng Gate illuminated by the lights, flashing cold light in the dark night.
She followed Xiao Qian up the stairs, step by step, and finally landed at Wansheng Gate.
At first, there was some commotion in the crowd, but after a moment, all the people suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty!" Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”
Xiao Yuan was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back, but Xiao Qian grabbed her tightly.
Xiao Qian's strength was so great that it hurt Xiao Yuanhao, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid! This is the country of loneliness and your mother! ”
He once promised Aman to join hands with her to see the mountains and rivers together, but the beauty has gone, and he has really become a loner since then.
Xiao Yuanhao bit her lip, she looked down at the people who were shouting "Long live", listening to this deafening roar, she felt for the first time that it was such a wonderful feeling to live above 10,000 people.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile, it seemed that it would be good if he had been bowed down and worshiped like this.
