Chapter 977: Kite Flying
Within ten days, the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion received a post from the palace.
At that time, the eldest princess had just come out of the moon, and the house also held a full moon ceremony for the twins, although it was not as grand as the grand one of the eldest prince in the palace, there were many relatives and friends who came.
The two emperors and queens and the queen mother in the imperial garden all sent congratulatory gifts, and a number of princes were present in person, which was very lively.
The eldest princess saw the post written by Queen Zhou herself, and happily discussed with Bai Yan, "The eldest princess is going to hold a palace banquet in the imperial garden, please go with you and me." When the time comes, bring Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan to the eldest brother and sister-in-law to see. ”
Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan are twins born to the eldest princess, according to the customs of the Jiangcheng Marquis Mansion, the two children are not named for the time being, and are only called by nicknames.
"Will I also go to the palace banquet of the harem maids?"
Bai Yan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the two children wrapped in swaddling clothes, the two children were exactly the same, one wrapped in red swaddling clothes and the other wrapped in blue swaddling clothes, to show the difference.
"You're confused, don't you still have an imperial brother?"
The eldest princess smiled: "Maybe the second brother will be there at that time, you men don't participate in the flower banquet, you can talk while talking, who still can't hold you?" ”
……
On the day of the Spring Banquet, Princess Celestia and Bai Yan went out with their two children.
Before leaving, the prince and the wife of the prince were reluctant, and the wife of the prince told the nurse to take care of the children carefully.
There are only two mothers in other families who take care of a child, and their two children, a total of four mothers and five maids, look mighty.
The group entered the palace, the soft morning sun of spring gently touched the earth, a spring rain and a warmth, the palace city has long been grassy, green trees, the silence brought by winter has been completely eliminated.
The eldest princess and Bai Yan went to the Qianqing Palace to meet first, and when they saw that they had brought two children into the palace, Yuanzhi was very happy, and hugged the two children in one hand, and made them with beans in their mouths on the other.
"These two kids are so cute, have you chosen a name?"
"My brother's name is Tuan Tuan, my brother's name is Yuanyuan, and I haven't taken my name yet."
The reunion is reunited, and the name sounds joyful, which is the same as the white and fat appearance of these two children.
Yuan Zhi said with a smile: "In a while, you will go to the queen to see Chen'er, and the two of him are brothers at a glance, just as white and fat." However, Chen'er was reunited for a few days, but she looked much stronger than them. ”
The eldest princess also smiled, "The royal brother didn't look at the two of them when they were born, and that was called small." I asked the queen mother, and the queen mother said that Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi were also like this when they were born, probably because of the twins. ”
After talking for a while, Yuan Zhi simply accompanied the eldest princess and the two towards Kunning Palace, and Xue and others had already arrived to see the eldest prince in the palace.
"Good boy, come and call my aunt to hug."
As soon as the eldest princess entered the door, she was anxious to hug the eldest prince, and when Queen Zhou saw her coming, she hurriedly asked the nurse to hand the child to her, and she was busy saying: "What about your family?" ”
The eldest princess turned sideways and pointed at her, and Queen Zhou saw Bai Yan holding one in one hand.
She smiled and went up to pick up the child.
"The eldest prince was born so well, beautiful and strong!"
The eldest princess was very amazed, and she was envious when she saw that the eldest prince was born a few days earlier than her own child but was much taller.
The people who were gathered in the hall to see the eldest prince gathered around Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan again, Queen Zhou hugged one, Xue couldn't hold her body when she was pregnant, and so did Concubine Li, so Concubine Li hugged the other.
Queen Zhou looked at the one in her arms, and then at the arms of Concubine Li, and couldn't help but say, "What else do you say, aren't these two in your family more beautiful than anyone?" and they were born exactly the same, and in the future, they are afraid that they will be no worse than the sixth and seventh brothers. ”
"Borrow the queen's auspicious words."
Bai Yan arched his hand and smiled so much that he couldn't see his face.
Empress Zhou turned around and smiled at him, and Yuan Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "It's all a family, you don't have to be so polite, you should call the eldest sister-in-law with your eldest sister." ”
Bai Yan was a little embarrassed, "Yes." ”
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive, except for the eldest princess and the Xue family, the rest were the concubines of the harem, and Queen Zhou's spring banquet today was gathered, and everyone went to the imperial garden.
Yuan Zhi and Yuan Tao sat down to talk in the pavilion near the water, and the ladies all headed towards the most splendid spring flowers in the imperial garden, where screens and feasts were set up, and there were fine wines and delicacies.
The palace people will carefully cultivate the potted flowers to send up, put on the offering table by the noble ladies to enjoy, the red peony national color is fragrant, the white wood hibiscus is bright and dripping, the flowers are splendid.
Looking at their figures from afar, listening to the laughter in his ears, Motoji sighed with emotion.
Yuan Tao and Bai Yan both turned their gazes back to him.
"I didn't understand it before, but now I know that having a wife and children like this is really a great joy in life."
These words are very understandable to Bai Yan and Yuan Tao, why aren't they like this?
Yuan Zhi picked up the wine glass, bathed in the spring breeze outside the window, and said with a smile: "Come, let's have a drink too, it's rare to be able to enjoy Chunguang so leisurely today!" ”
The three of them touched each other with their wine glasses, and they also talked about some trivial things about their wives and children like ordinary men.
Suddenly, they saw that something happened to the female dependents, someone ran around, and then a colorful kite flew into the sky, and they knew that Queen Zhou was flying a kite.
The breeze is not dry, and it is a good time to fly a kite.
Bai Yan hurriedly said: "Second brother, the second sister-in-law is pregnant, don't you hurry up and help her?" ”
Yuan Tao was eager to try, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and Yuan Zhi simply stood up, "Let's go, let's go over and help." ”
Xue Shi was holding her stomach and was inconvenient, and she wanted to fly a kite by herself, but the maid persuaded her, "The princess should stand aside and watch, and when we put it up, we will give it to the princess, okay?" ”
Xue was about to say something, Yuan Tao came from behind her and took the kite string, "I'll help you release it." ”
Xue Shi looked back and smiled.
Yuan Tao helped the Xue family, Bai Yan naturally helped the eldest princess, and Yuan Zhi helped Queen Zhou fly a kite.
The kite flew quickly.
Empress Zhou took the line herself, and whispered to Yuanzhi: "The emperor will go up and help his sister, it is inconvenient for her to be pregnant, you see how anxious she is." ”
Yuan Zhi looked back, and sure enough, he couldn't fly the kite with his concubine, and there was already an annoyed look on his face.
He smiled and walked towards Concubine Li, and when he passed by Concubine Li, he didn't even look at Concubine Li.
The smile on Concubine Li's face suddenly froze there.
She saw with her own eyes that it was Empress Zhou who asked the emperor to go to the concubine, and Empress Zhou seemed to forgive her on the surface, but in fact she was deliberately helping the concubine to suppress her.
Concubine Li secretly gritted her teeth, and she couldn't help but feel a little more resentful towards Queen Zhou in her heart.
