Chapter 260: Marriage
"Miss, there is the palace gate in front of you." Because they were too nervous, the master and servant had been sitting in the carriage without talking, so that the carriage had been quiet, only the palace maid who followed the car at the beginning briefly told the two of them and told some rules in the palace.
Helplessly, Qian Xinyi was too nervous, and she lost her usual calmness, so she just nodded again and again, and didn't talk to the other party.
This will listen to the reminder of the maid next to him, and suddenly come back to his senses, and then his expression becomes more and more nervous, his back is straight, and his body is tense.
It's just that there is still a little curiosity in the nervousness, after all, she is still a girl, although she has become more mature and stable after all kinds of hardships, but she is still a sixteen-year-old girl, and she has been pampered by her family to grow up.
The carriage stopped near the gate of the palace, and the palace maid pushed the door and showed the waist card, indicating that it was a guest who was going to Jingning Palace.
There was already a badge pattern of the queen mother on the carriage, and it was also clearly indicated when they left the palace before, and the guards let them go without asking too much.
The advantage of taking the carriage belonging to the Queen Mother is that you don't need to stop, you can walk in the palace, as long as you avoid a few heavy places.
As the carriage passed through the palace gates, Qian Xinyi finally couldn't help but push the window, curiosity temporarily overwhelmed nervousness, and looked around with a little surprise.
After watching it for a while, she couldn't help but ask about some of the situation in the palace.
The palace maid was very polite to her, and basically answered all questions, which slowly eliminated her nervousness, and questions began to increase.
Before you know it, the carriage has already driven to the gate of Jingning Palace.
After being reminded by the palace maid, I learned that I needed to go to see the Queen Mother, and the nervousness that I had finally suppressed suddenly surged again.
The Queen Mother, the very famous and almost the representative of women in the world.
It is said that when the queen mother became the queen in her early years, she had already encountered the troubles of the favored concubine, but she was still under the mediocrity of the former emperor and the suppression of the favorite concubine, using her own strategy and wisdom to keep the prince and stay stable in the palace for more than ten years.
Later, he was forced to take the prince to live among the people, but he did not collapse, but carefully taught the prince, and tried to assist the prince to seize power, and when the prince fell into the chaotic calculations of the emperor and the courtiers, he protected him step by step, secretly spread the context for the prince, but after the prince successfully ascended the throne, he directly retreated into the harem, returned to power, and did not touch the government.
The first half of the life of the Queen Mother was very legendary.
Qian Xinyi also heard Bai Tang mention the Queen Mother, and learned that the Queen Mother didn't mind Bai Tang, who was mistaken for an idiot at that time, but instead brought her into the palace and stayed by her side to teach her carefully, and slowly made Bai Tang change, and she had a better impression of the Queen Mother who only commented in other people's mouths, and she was even more respectful and curious.
But curiosity is curiosity, after all, the other party is the mother of the Son of Heaven and the queen mother of a country.
And I always heard people say that the harem is also like a battlefield, and the masters of each family are constantly fighting openly and secretly, she is afraid that if she does something wrong, she will give people a handle and cause disaster to Bai Tang, and even cause the Queen Mother to be dissatisfied with Bai Tang.
Bai Tang is playing chess with the Queen Mother, but even if she has a system to cheat and can perform shorthand and analysis, she still can't win against the Queen Mother.
When the chamberlain came to report, a game of chess ended in her failure.
Wei Yuan sat next to her and said with a smile, "Sister Tangtang lost again." ”
Bai Tang didn't speak, but the Queen Mother raised her hand and probed Wei Yuan's forehead, and scolded with a smile, "What about you, you haven't taken the school exam for a long time, how is your homework?" ”
As soon as he said this, Wei Yuan suddenly had a bitter face.
Since returning to the palace, she has been riddled with everything.
began to be ordered to learn etiquette from the queen, which made her miserable.
Later, the queen offended the queen mother, and then was grounded by her father's order, so she didn't have to go anymore.
It's just that before she could rejoice, she learned that the Queen Mother was going to teach herself.
Although it is said that she asks the palace maid around her to do it for her, she will often stare at the old man.
As for the so-called homework, it is those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and female red, each of which is something she regards as a beast, and the result can be imagined.
It's just that the Queen Mother doesn't let go, and she can only continue to boil.
She thought about how to answer, and even sent a look of help to Sister Tangtang beside her.
And at this time, the waiter came to report, which made her feel relieved, and she had the idea of escaping, and immediately had a great impression of Miss Qian, who was rarely a friend of Sister Tangtang.
In the past few months, Wei Yuan has often been trapped in the palace to study, and Bai Tang is busy running around, so even if Bai Tang and Qian Xinyi are friends, Wei Yuan has no chance to contact her, and the only time to contact is when they meet for the first time.
It's just that at that time, Qian Xinyi committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake because she was slandered and insulted, and she was even more unconscious after being rescued, let alone making friends.
Qian Xinyi was quickly led in, kept her head down, and waited for the palace maid to meet the queen mother, and then to meet the queen mother according to what the palace maid had taught before.
The Queen Mother looked at Qian Xinyi and asked her to raise her head.
Qian Xinyi hurriedly looked up, and then saw the three people seated.
It's just that because of surprise, her eyes are only fixed on one person, and she can't hide the surprise in her eyes.
She also heard that the Queen Mother returned to youth because of Baitang's medicine.
It's just that I heard that after all, I just listened, and I wasn't shocked at all by seeing is believing.
The moment she saw the other party's appearance, she even thought, is this really the queen mother?
No wonder she was stunned, it was true that the Queen Mother's current appearance and age gap were too strong.
is almost old, but her appearance is only like a beautiful woman in her thirties, if it is not the case, it is really hard to believe.
Fortunately, the queen mother has always lived in the palace, and she rarely sees other palace concubines, let alone foreign ministers, otherwise she will not be able to stimulate more people to take risks, even if she does not think crookedly, I am afraid that she will have to find a way to dig benefits from Baitang.
The Queen Mother took a full view of her emotions, but she was not displeased, but smiled, "It's a beautiful woman, I heard that she will marry the third son of the general of Zhenguo in the middle of the year?" ”
Qian Xinyi was asked like this, and suddenly a stirred spirit, and immediately came back to her senses, quickly lowered her head, and hurriedly responded, "Back to the Queen Mother, there is indeed such a thing." ”
"Speaking of which, I can also be regarded as the matchmaker of this marriage." Wei Yuan said suddenly.
"You girl is talking nonsense." The Queen Mother scolded.
Wei Yuan did not retreat but advanced, and retorted confidently, "That's the case, if it weren't for Yuan'er and Sister Tangtang accidentally saving people and uncovering the peach blossom case, there would be no future, speaking of which, Sister Xinyi still owes Yuan'er a life-saving grace." ”
Qian Xinyi was first shocked by the other party's title of sister, and then remembered some past events because of her words, and suddenly remembered that this fifteenth princess was indeed her lifesaver.
If she hadn't happened to pass by and Bai Tang to rescue her, I'm afraid she would have become a ghost in the lake.
"The folk girl thanks the princess for saving her life, the folk girl has nothing to repay, and everything in the future is up to the princess's orders."
"Hehe, Sister Xinyi doesn't have to be like this, Yuan'er was just joking." Wei Yuan saw that she was about to kneel, so she hurriedly got up and ran down to support her.
Qian Xinyi suddenly became more nervous, and looked up at Bai Tang a little helplessly.
Bai Tang smiled on his face and said, "Yuan'er, don't make trouble." ”
Wei Yuan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "It's really Sister Xinyi who looks so funny, people can't help but want to bully her." ”
The corners of Qian Xinyi's mouth couldn't help twitching, where was she interesting, and where did she make people feel like they wanted to bully.
The Queen Mother gave her a seat, and then kindly asked about some basic information.
Qian Xinyi answered them one by one.
After a few people talked, the Queen Mother waved her hand to let them stand back and play confidently.
Walking down the stairs, Qian Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Queen Mother was very friendly, she still felt very nervous.
Qian Xinyi entered the palace and was named to become the companion of the lord of Yutang County, and she was quite loved by the Queen Mother, and the news that she had won a lot of rewards soon came out.
First in the palace, then outside the palace, and as soon as the news came out, after it was confirmed to be true, the status of the Qian family rose again, and the number of people who came to the door increased, and they almost stepped on the threshold.
Although the Qian family was pleased with this, they became more and more cautious, and wrote a letter to inform Qian Xinyi in the palace to keep to herself, not to offend nobles, and not to cause trouble to the lord of Yutang.
But some people are happy and some people are dissatisfied.
For example, the Lu Guogong Mansion is falling into a gloomy cloud.
After being warned by the king, Lu Guogong not only did not relent, but was more determined to grasp Baitang, almost regarded her as the future driftwood of the family, even if he knew that the situation of Lu Guogong's Mansion had a lot to do with her, he was still unwilling to give up.
He is now also thinking of sending the daughter of the family into the palace to marry Bai Tang, one is trying to make Bai Tang understand the importance of the family, and the other is also trying to show his face in front of the Queen Mother by approaching Bai Tang, if the woman strives to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, it will be better.
It's just that he didn't expect Bai Tang to directly let an outsider enter the palace to marry him, but he didn't mention it to anyone in the family.
When he learned the news, Lu Guogong was so angry that he directly overturned the case.
He paced back and forth in the study alone, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked someone to invite the princess over.
In any case, Bai Tang is the daughter of the princess, she is going to get married, although because of the queen mother's speech, she can only be married in the palace, but it is always understandable for her mother to marry in the past.
It's just that the princess has a grudge with the Guogong Mansion, which is really difficult to control, if it doesn't work in other ways, he really doesn't want to take this step.
Since learning that Bai Yun was blatantly calculating and exploiting, the princess has been forcing the Guogong Mansion to allow her to reconcile with the prince, and finally because she couldn't get an answer, she locked herself in the Buddhist hall again.
This time, Lu Guogong really had no choice but to ask someone to persuade him again, and said that as long as he returned to the family obediently, he would agree to reconcile her with her son.
I don't know where the princess got her confidence, so she agreed immediately, and the next day she wrote a book and asked to marry her as a mother.
However, Lu Guogong also had a little calculation right.
In any case, the princess is Bai Tang's biological mother after all, even if she has abandoned her, but the grace of birth and raising is greater than the sky, and she has not been persecuted like the people of the Guogong Mansion, so there is really no reason to refuse.
After asking Bai Tang's opinion, the Queen Mother still agreed to the other party's request.
Originally, because of the previous things, coupled with the previous warning by the king, there were many children in the family who were degraded, and the Luguo Mansion has always been a door, but now it has become a little lively here because the princess entered the palace to marry the lord of Yutang County.
Many people are speculating whether Yutang County is mainly rebuilt with the Guogong Mansion, after all, you can't write two white characters in one stroke, and they are all a family after all.
Some people who think they are smart think that they have the right idea, and they immediately express themselves.
Especially some people who want to keep King Li's leg have taken the Lu Guogong Mansion as a breakthrough.
Now that King Li has been favored by the saint, the position of the crown prince has been affirmed by seventy or eighty percent, and maybe after he gets married, the will will come down.
In this way, Bai Tang is likely to become the queen in the future, not to mention that she also has a hand that can be called a miracle of medical skills and pharmaceutical methods.
Because the princess successfully entered the palace, Lu Guogong, who thought that he had been depressed for a long time for Baitang's lifeline, suddenly became brighter, and after seeing these people come to the door, his confidence soared, and he even regarded himself as the elder of King Li.
It's just that he didn't know that the princess was not with Bai Tang after entering the palace, although it was also the Jingning Palace that was placed, but it was not with Bai Tang, and the Queen Mother deliberately restricted it, and most of the time she was not allowed to go out, and she always found a reason to refuse if she wanted to meet the Queen Mother.
But even if she was brainless, she understood that the Queen Mother couldn't be provoked, so she couldn't meet her several times, so she could only sulk secretly and wait for the opportunity to talk about it.
Bai Tang only came to visit her on the first day she entered the palace, and then she didn't go to the door again on the grounds of preparing for marriage.
As for whether her behavior will be criticized, Jingning Palace is like an iron bucket, who can spread the news outside, even if she can, she doesn't have the guts.
Now there is no queen in the harem for the time being, and the harem affairs are in the hands of the queen mother.
And the Queen Mother was still famous in her early years, and now she is young again, and she has the energy to deal with things, so no one dares to tease the tiger's whiskers.
However, Bai Tang's reason is not an excuse, she is indeed busy preparing for marriage.
According to the rules, a woman needs to make a homemade wedding dress when she gets married.
However, she is the county lord, and the wedding dress needs to be made according to unified specifications, not to mention that the Queen Mother has already arranged it, and her wedding dress has been made by a special person.
But she also needs to follow the rules and make the wedding dress herself.
It's not complicated to take it internally, but Bai Tang can learn everything as soon as he learns it, but he doesn't seem to be enlightened in terms of female popularity.
She can barely cut and sew according to the pattern, but it is a little difficult to embroider.
It's just that no matter how difficult it is, she has to do it, so during this time, she and Qian Xinyi were busy making wedding dresses and underwear.
The palace is also in full swing to prepare, looking at the queen mother's driving, she is planning to let the lord of Yutang get married, which makes many people envious and jealous, especially those princesses who have not yet married, they are almost sour bubbles, obviously they are the granddaughters of the queen mother.
The palace was jubilant because of the wedding, and the Li Wangfu was not far behind, and almost all the people in the entire mansion were busy, and the red silk had been hung outside the door of the Li Wangfu, and even the stone lions at the door were colored and tied with red flowers.
The purchasing staff from all over the Li Wangfu often come and go in and out of the market buildings, and they are extremely generous, and the cloth, jewelry, gold and silver are carried by the box, which has almost become a scene of the imperial city.
Probably because the New Year is approaching, I was infected by this atmosphere again, and the imperial city was also full of joy, suppressing the previous tension and depression.
