Chapter 8 Returning Home
The queen invited all the ladies of the family in Shengjing, the banquet was held as scheduled, the guests in the main hall of Changquan Palace gathered, the ladies of the family dressed up in gorgeous clothes, and the scene was crowded with beaded crowns and brocade robes.
Although the queen's invitation included the names of Jiang, the mother of Shangshu Mansion, and Li Dongxue, the biological mother of Wen Youran, Li Dongxue was unable to attend due to physical reasons, as soon as Jiang came, she showed her excellent popularity, and she greeted the ladies like a fish in water.
"Didn't you say that the queen's Changquan Palace was extremely luxurious? It's not as exaggerated as the legend suggests! Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Officials looked around carefully and whispered to Jiang.
Jiang Shi smiled and said with emotion: "No, although this Changquan Palace is magnificent, luxury things are indeed rare. β
Mrs. Zuo Xiang smiled and answered: "The thrift of the queen mother really makes me feel ashamed!" β
The crowd suddenly quieted down, the queen looked calm, her posture was graceful and slowly walked over, she was followed by more than 20 well-dressed female officials and palace maids, the queen didn't seem to care about the many eyes that were invested on her, her phoenix pattern royal robe today, the face after the careful depiction, the eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and the hair was tied in a set of gold cloisonnΓ© phoenix crowns, but the simple and atmospheric dress was more graceful and noble because of her temperament, and as soon as she came out, she suppressed all the ladies present, making the well-dressed ladies instantly dim.
This party can also be regarded as a banquet for the queen to show grace, but the early stage is just a foreshadowing, at the beginning of the afternoon, when the queen said the decision to run a school in a remote area, Mrs. Zuo Xiang was the first to understand the deep meaning, immediately stepped forward to salute, and said modestly: "The queen is so thrifty, the mother of the world, the commission really makes the courtiers ashamed and admired, the courtiers have saved a little silver taels, and are willing to use it as support to do their best." β
"The courtiers are also willing to do their best......" The ladies responded one after another.
The next day, the queen's school started to run a silver tael, which exceeded the previous expectation by seven times, the emperor looked at the donation list, nodded with satisfaction: "I really didn't expect that the queen could easily raise such a large amount of silver." β
The queen smiled slightly, "This can only show that Tiansheng is rich and strong, and if it is in short supply, it is impossible to do it." β
The emperor put down the roster in his hand, stretched out his hand to hug the queen into his arms, and said with emotion: "My queen has the world in her heart, and her small body contains great energy. β
After about half an hour, the queen gently left the emperor's arms and said seriously: "Yiqin has already reached the age of marriage, and the concubine has a candidate in mind. β
When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled, "Whose daughter's daughter can enter the queen's heart?" β
"The daughter of Shangshu Wen is leisurely," the Empress Wan'er smiled and continued, "The concubine has ordered Qin Tian to supervise their eight characters, which is very suitable. β
The emperor thought about it carefully and wondered: "She is a concubine, and Yiqin will marry her for the first time, will it be ......?"
"If Yiqin is interested in him, this marriage is the best, and she will be the concubine if she marries Yiqin."
The emperor looked at the queen, thought for a moment, and said, "There can be no suspicion between us, the queen doesn't have to do this." β
"The concubine has never questioned the duties of the emperor's father, the emperor treats the concubine in his heart, the concubine only hopes that he will be a prince in peace, and he will be a good boy in the future, if Yiqin can marry her, he will be happy for a lifetime."
The emperor took a deep breath, looked at the queen with a serious expression, and said in a deep tone: "Yiqin's marriage, if you can be happy with each other, if Yiqin has the ability to govern the country, then his future direction, I'm afraid it is not something you and I can control, let it be." β
Wen leisurely cheered up, this is the last half a year in the Guozijian, the thought of not coming next year, the heart is inevitably reluctant, entered the school, found that there are two more people today, one of them is wearing dark purple clothes, clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin reveals a faint red pink, although he is dressed as a man, but the well-made cheeks, you can tell from a distance that it is a very beautiful daughter. Behind her stood a dark-skinned, ordinary-looking man, who kept his eyes down, and knew that he was a slave from his temperament.
Seeing the princess come in, the purple-clothed woman hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Hello princess, I am Liu Yan, my father is Zuo Xiang, we will study together in the future, please take care of the princess." β
"The slave and maid see the princess, and the slave maid's name is Cui'er, and she is Miss Liu Yan's companion." Tsui Er gave the princess a big salute.
"Hmm--" Long Yumo glanced at them lightly and gave her a polite smile back.
Liu Yan turned her eyes to Wen Youran, walked up to her, and said with a smile: "This is Sister Youran, right?" Thank you for your kind attention in the future. β
As soon as she approached, Wen Youran smelled the heavy fragrance on her body, and Wen Youran smiled and said, "Well, you guys are so lively when you come to us!" β
Mrs. Lu has been ill recently, and he changed the sacrificial wine Li Xingxue between classes, he focused on Confucianism today, his class Long Yumo and Liu Yan listened very seriously, Wen Youran was not interested in this boring Confucianism, but he also tried to listen carefully, after a long class, it was already lunch break, the princess went to the side hall to rest, Wen Youran supported his chin with one hand, and bored to draw a picture on the paper to describe it at will.
Liu Yan walked over with Cui'er and said, "Sister Youran, we are not familiar with this place on the first day we came to Guozijian, can you take us around?" β
Anyway, it was boring, Wen leisurely cheered up and promised her, "Okay." β
Cheerful all the way, Wen Youran took Liu Yan and Cui'er around the various small halls and gardens in the Guozi Prison, Liu Yan suddenly stood in front of her and said with a smile: "Sister Youran, where is the place where His Royal Highness reads?" β
Wen Youran suddenly thought that Long Yizheng had said that he had to be far away from him in the future, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "He is studying in the Mingcheng Palace, and I will tell you when I pass by next time." β
"I want to go now, let's go and see."
"That ......" Wen said leisurely, "His Second Highness has a very bad temper, in case he meets it, hehe......"
"I'll just look at the place where he is studying and don't go in, I won't meet him, let's go!" Liu Yan said, hugging her sleeve.
Wen Youran couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, and agreed: "...... All right! β
"That is Mingcheng Palace." Far away, Wen Youran pointed at Liu Yan.
"Hmm--" Liu Yan responded, her heart seemed to drift away.
"Wen leisurely, I haven't seen you for a long time." A male voice suddenly sounded from behind, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Wen Youran hurriedly turned around, and saw that the person who came was Feng Mulin, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Feng Mulin stepped forward, looked at Liu Yan and Cui'er beside her and asked, "Who are these two?" β
