Chapter 10 Entering the Palace and Thanksgiving
Qi Guogong was scolded like this, and he had to say a few words in the end, and said in a deep voice: "The son knows that he is not as good as the second brother and nephew, and he doesn't dare to expect his mother to ......."
"Do you still have the face to blame Hongu?" The eldest princess said loudly, slammed the edge of the couch, and sneered, "It seems that you are so patient and courteous, if you have so much respect for this palace, and you don't even say anything about Jiulang today, what kind of face are you throwing here?" Do you think that Jiurou doesn't respect you, so do you respect this palace in front of these juniors? You said! ”
"My son knows what he is wrong." Qi Guogong obviously also understood that in front of the eldest princess who only talked about his own reasoning, the only thing he could do was to confess and plead guilty, so when he said this, he leaned over and kowtowed.
As soon as he knelt down, everyone in the big house did not dare to continue to sit, and knelt down one after another to plead for the prince of the country.
A 'woman' who was a little familiar with Zhuo Zhaojie in the middle of the house said boldly: "Grandmother is angry, my father has always been filial to my grandmother, and I have no intention of respecting my grandmother...... Because today is the day of the ninth siblings' tea ceremony, and the ninth siblings are too late, my father ...... My father has been a little bad these days, so ......"
Before she finished speaking, Ning Shaobi had already sneered, and said lightly: "'The ninth brother and sister came too late', could it be that Zhaojie came alone?" She is late today because of the delay of this world, according to the rules of the 'girl' marrying her husband, it is a manifestation of abiding by the rules, but Siniang, when you didn't go out of the cabinet before, didn't you like to see those talented 'women' after the appearance of the 'flower' garden, the favorite is those scholars who ran with an ignorant little lady's family, you don't care about such an unruly, and appreciate it very much, compared with 'elopement', what is such a trivial matter today? Are you embarrassed to say that? ”
Ning Ruiwan, the fourth lady of the Ning family, almost didn't come up in one breath when she heard this, and pinched her wrist hard to resist the urge to cry, her eyes were red in the end, and she choked up: "Ninth brother, you are enough!" That's just a joke when you didn't understand how many years ago, what do you mean by remembering it in your heart and mind? I'm here to see my ninth brother and sister today, don't you miss my sister and brother at all? ”
"I didn't say that it wasn't a joke when you weren't sensible." Ning Shaobi looked lazy, and said with a smile, "Since you did it, you are afraid that I will say something?" Have you ever dealt with you about so many things that you said about me in private? ”
Ning Ruiwan burst into tears directly: "I knew you were like this, I wouldn't come back today!" Saying that, he got up and was about to run out, Ou Shi saw that he was in a hurry, and he was hindered by the eldest princess, so he didn't dare to chase it in person, and looked at the envoy 'female' behind him, and the envoy 'female' looked at the eldest princess's face, so he had to get up and chase after him, and he didn't want the eldest princess to pat the edge of the couch and said angrily: "Call her back to me!" ”
After a while, Ning Ruiwan, who was crying and crying, returned to the hall, knelt down in front of the eldest princess and cried: "Grandmother, I came back to see the ninth brother and sister today, and the words of the ninth brother were too hurtful, didn't grandmother say that no one was allowed to mention that matter?" ”
"Since you know that Jiulang speaks directly, who told you to talk to his new 'wife' if you have nothing to do?" Ning Shaobi said so much that her cousin had no face to stay, where did the eldest princess not know the reason? She didn't feel sorry for her granddaughter at all, and said coldly, "You will pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and look at the new 'wife' who only passed the 'door' yesterday, this is the time when you are shy and tender and easy to bully, but the husband you married yourself is not as considerate as Jiurou to his wife, don't you allow Jiulang to protect his wife?" You can't talk about him, isn't this self-inflicted? I can't clean up the things I messed with, so I ran out in a bad mood, and when this palace is here to see you come back to be angry? ”
Ning Ruiwan listened to her grandmother's words and tears, and her tears fell like beads with broken threads, and she said sadly: "Grandmother likes Jiulang the most, and now that Jiulang has a new 'wife', his grandmother is also protected, what is the granddaughter?" ”
Although the eldest princess of Jiyang loves Ning Shaobi the most, she doesn't care about others saying that she is biased, but somehow, she just can't hear Dafang say this, she didn't say anything before, she turned her face, and now Ning Ruiwan was extremely aggrieved, and the eldest princess was furious!
"It's usually the blood and bones of this palace, and it's usually from this palace, why does this palace like Jirou and like Jiulang, but don't like you? Why don't you think about what you haven't done well, and you can't please this palace! But one by one, they stared at Jirou and Jiulang with red eyes, muttering that Hongu was eccentric, saying that Karorou and Jiurou were not good-how are you? You're a good thing, and you're going to be here to be jealous! Won't you make a good appearance yourself to make Hongu happy?! ”
"Just like those sour Confucians who fell off the list!" The eldest princess interrupted the words of the general of Qiguo, pointed at him and scolded, "If you can't pass the test, you will say that there is no Bole in the world, and if others are admitted, it is the villain's ambition, and he will be counted as the most talented, capable, and able to save the world and help the country in the whole world. If there were so many left ways on the side of the 'door', it would have become the right way long ago! Hongu will tell you! This palace still has the ability to do whatever you want, so you love to pet Gurro and Kuro, so what? If you can't get used to seeing it, don't come to this palace in the future! There are still a few people waiting for this palace now, and it is not that Hengzhu can't live without the support of your big house! ”
It was the first time for Zhuo Zhaojie and Mao Gu and the others to see such a fierce and arrogant elder, and they were dumbfounded, but they all looked at Ning Shaobi in unison, and they all had a thought in their hearts: If there is a grandmother, there must be a grandson, and in the end, the eldest princess raised it!
The eldest princess of Jiyang lost her temper, up and down the Qiguo Mansion, there was no one who was good, and the Qiguo Gong was especially scolded miserably, he didn't know whether he was used to it, or he didn't dare to fight back, he just listened silently, and then kept kowtowing and praying for the eldest princess to calm her anger, until the eldest princess scolded to the fullest, then snorted coldly, and said: "There is nothing to respect about this tea, they don't drink this sip of tea and they can't die of thirst - you leave the meeting gift, let's go first!" ”
Before, Qi Guogong lost such a big face in front of the younger generations, especially the juniors in the second room and the nephew and daughter-in-law who newly entered the 'door', and he had long been unable to leave quickly, as soon as he retired, the rest of the people in the Qiguo Mansion naturally didn't want to stay longer, especially Ning Ruiwan, who was simply aggrieved and vomited blood, crying so much that her eyes were swollen, and she was reluctantly saluted by the handmaid'.
Seeing that everyone else was leaving in a hurry, Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know what to say, and thought, is it okay to finish the tea now? But according to the rules, the new 'woman' passing through the 'door' is to respect the elders - but the eldest princess spoke, expected...... Should...... So...... Only...... OK...... Finish...... Bar......
Listening to the eldest princess turn her head again, she was already full of kind smiles when she faced Ning Shaobi, as if the person from the eldest son's family who didn't ask about it just now was not her at all, and said gently: "Jiulang will come here, breakfast must be useless, bird's nest is made in the small kitchen of the palace, and I will drink some with your daughter-in-law in a while." ”
Ning Shaobi naturally enjoyed her grandmother's 'essence' care, and nodded: "In order to see my father, breakfast is useless, if grandmother has a snack here, can we give us some more?" ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately blamed the second son and said, "Your father is getting more and more nonsense!" It's just a bowl of tea, what do you have to do? He doesn't have anything to do today, so what's the matter with waiting? How can this be done if you are urged not to eat? Go back to this palace and talk about him for you! "Immediately call someone to prepare the meal.
Ning Shaobi Shen 'groaned': "Just take some snacks, but it's not good to make the saint and the queen wait longer." ”
"It's up to you." Seeing that he insisted, the eldest princess reluctantly said, and did not forget to praise him once, "In the end, it is the Jiulang Zhili of this palace!" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie: "......"
In this way, the 'girl' hurriedly sent in bird's nest and snacks, waiting for Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie to use, and listened to the eldest princess say some thoughtful and painful words, seeing that their 'spirit' spirit had recovered Yiyi, the eldest princess let them go to Daming Palace to meet Xie En.
Xingning Fang can basically be said to be outside the main 'gate' of Daming Palace, the carriage has long been prepared, Princess Jiyang is the most courteous and respected sister of the saint, because of her, Yongcheng Hou and Ning Shaobi often enter and leave the palace, the guards in front of the Daming Palace are very familiar with the carriages and horses of the Ning family, and now they all know that yesterday the Marquis of Yongcheng married the little lady of the Minping Marquis Mansion who was married by the holy decree two years ago.
The carriage traveled slowly along the vertical street - when they arrived near the Zichen Palace, Emperor Xianping and the Empress were now waiting for them in the Penglai Palace, so they continued to the north and stopped in front of the Penglai Hall as usual.
Zhuo Zhaojie has not been edicted to enter the palace in the past two years, accompanied the queen to talk to the crown princess, and now he is familiar with this Penglai Palace, when he arrived here, Xu was because he was not held accountable for the eldest princess in Jiyang before, and the eldest princess had already sent someone over to explain, knowing that the emperor and queen had always valued the face of the eldest princess, but she was much more relaxed.
Sure enough, after entering the palace, he thanked the Holy Grace, Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu did not mention their lateness, and each gave a beautiful meeting gift, Emperor Xianping quipped: "It is said that men are talented and 'female', and now I look at these two children under the Danqi, both of whom are glorious figures, but there are some men and 'women' appearance." ”
He encouraged Ning Shaobi and said, "Although you are highly talented, and you have some talent to learn, but learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, you used to be young, and you were not married, I thought that the second sister's most painful junior is you, young man, who is not frivolous when he is young for a few years?" I haven't said much, but now that you have a family, you should put your mind away, and in the future, you still have to study well and take a fame - although you have a knighthood, but in the end, wouldn't it be more glorious to be the 'door' court, and also make the second sister happy? ”
Queen Chun Yu bowed slightly, and also said: "Now that you are a serious husband, in the future, your wife and children, your life's honor and disgrace are tied to your body, you are a smart person, not the kind that has no fame and blessings, and now indulgence is to despise the talent given by God, is this right?" What's more, your current glory comes from the elders, and the respect enjoyed by your wife is also the same, in the end, you only lie on the foundation of your predecessors and can't make an inch, always sit and eat empty, and your face is dull. ”
Ning Shaobi smiled and said, "The ministers receive the teachings of the saint and the queen." ”
"It's not just a teaching, you have to take it to heart!" Queen Chunyu glanced at him with disgust and said.
At this time, Chenguang was already noon, and Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu encouraged the two of them again, and left them for a banquet.
Said to be a banquet, in fact, it is used by four people, but it is just a few dishes added to the example of the usual meal, after using it, the palace people handed over the tea, was gossiping, and when it was about to be the time for the two to retire, someone outside came in to say, "The princess is here." ”
The queen said, "I'm here for you." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but blush slightly, and sure enough, after the crown princess entered the palace, she asked the emperor and queen to say goodbye, and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law thought that in the past two years, she often called Zhaojie to accompany her, and in the end, she also watched this child grow up for two years, and today she entered the palace to thank her father and mother, and the daughter-in-law also wanted to join in the fun." ”
The queen smiled and said, "You are here to send benefits, who wouldn't want it?" The main palace and His Majesty also want to see a lively scene. ”
The princess prepared a gemstone bonsai, which is a jade as the stem, carved into a tree, and the treetops are hung with a lot of gem fruits, counting four kinds, dates, 'flowers', longan, and pomegranates, so there is a very flattering name called "early birth of a noble son", and because the pomegranate also contains "many sons and many grandchildren".
The people in this hall, including Zhuo Zhaojie, are used to seeing wealth and nobility, and there is no surprise in such a bonsai, but the princess personally sent it, Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie naturally wanted to thank them, so they exchanged a few words with the emperor and queen, and looked at the sky, Ning Shaobi led Zhuo Zhaojie out of the palace - this day's busy business, it can be regarded as the last thing left.
