Chapter 18 Farming Events & Favorites
The coarse cloth clothes were put on the body in three layers, and a cotton coat was put on, Li Xiang felt that it was not so cold, the snow fell early last year, and the snow stopped late this year, the snow has not yet melted, and the spring flowers are only budding.
Lixia picked and chose for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable hairpin, so with a bitter face, he changed another box and continued to pick.
"Don't bother, isn't there a ivy in the yard? Pick a few flower bones and grow well. Li Xiang had a headache when he looked at it, as usual, everyone can't wear brocade clothes today, this is how the coarse cotton clothes on her body came from, and the clothes can't be worn casually, let alone these pearls and jade powder, but the Xiangqi Wangfu is only half a month old in the end, and there will be people pointing fingers.
Lixia's eyes lit up, put down the box, rushed out, and came back quickly.
"Branches are easy to wrap in hair, it's better to wrap a layer of cloth......" Lixia came back quickly, and was stunned again after speaking, where did the cloth come from? Where did the coarse cloth come from?
Li Xiang silently cut a cloth towel from his body and handed it to Lixia.
Lixia: ......
……
According to the palace officials who came to deliver clothes and chariots, it was because the men were going to plough the ground for a few days, and the housewives were more relaxed and sowed. Therefore, those who need to carry hoes have already set off for an hour, and they only need to scatter seeds casually with seeds, and they will leave in a hurry after half the hour.
Yutian is not far away, just in the suburbs, and the carriage is rickety for half an hour, and it will be at the place.
It's still that little official, lead the way for Li Xiang and go to see the queen first.
Two royal estates were temporarily requisitioned, and the queen was waiting for everyone in the main hall.
Li Xiang didn't look at anyone when he entered the door, I don't know which child also came, he was playing, and rushed over directly, he didn't notice it for a while, and he couldn't stand steadily, fortunately, it was Chunyu next to him, and half of the people were lying on Chunyu's body to stand firmly.
"Niangniang......" Chunyu was almost knocked down by Li Xiang again, but she could stand firmly, and immediately helped Li Xiang to inspect it.
"Whose girl is this?" Lixia was in a hurry, so he hurriedly helped and hugged Li Xiang to stand up, Lidong quickly grabbed the little girl, and questioned the servants who were playing together without looking back.
Li Xiang stood still, let Chunyu look at it, and when he saw what Lixia was going to say, he pressed her hand and glanced at Lidong, "You let go of her, what does this look like, the queen mother and the concubine saw it, and thought that there were no rules in our house!" ”
Lixia gritted her teeth and let go, "The slave knows her mistake. ”
Those who can come to this place can see ordinary people, but the only princess in the palace who is about this age is only the ninth princess, obviously she is not. But how can I say that she is also a noble girl, there is no reason to be pulled by a maid's arm in public, and she can't do it even if she collides with Li Xiang and punishes her.
"Be careful, it's not easy to walk here." Li Xiang glanced at the woman who was already trembling, and then glanced at the little girl who was still staring at him fiercely, "See the queen, let's go together." ”
couldn't help but say, Li Xiang grabbed the little girl's hand and led the person inside.
"!"
"What, your girl doesn't need to visit the queen?" Li Xiang turned his head and looked at the woman, it was not difficult to see the other party's fear, but he was also afraid just now, since this is the case, he should know who she is, but he still didn't look at his own girl, and he didn't know if he had enough spare strength, if he asked for mercy, he should have begged for mercy when Lixia caught this little girl just now, why wait until now.
"No, it's not...... Niangniang, my girl was reckless for a while, and she collided with Niangniang, but, but my girl is still young, and I hope that Niangniang will open up on the Internet in the face of the prince! ”
Li Xiang looked down and wanted to break free from his hands, but he couldn't do it, so he had to twist his arm and stumble to follow her little girl step by step, "Lidong, take care of the six girls in Fucha." ”
When Lidong heard this, he directly hugged the little girl and imprisoned her hands.
"Niangniang......" The woman was really shaking this time, obviously, not too old, the sixth girl looked at her from time to time, struggling harder, it seemed that it should be a nursing mother, kneeling on the ground, and someone came over after a while. This person is "reckless" for a while, "young" for a while, and "looking at the face of the prince" for a while.
Knowing that she is a "Niangniang", she can't be the mother of the harem, the princess also walks with the palace, and the only one who can come here and is called "Niangniang" is the new princess of Xiangqi Wangfu, and told the princess who spared the face of the prince, whether it is to look at the face or want to say that Xiangqi Wangfu is sorry for someone in this little girl's family?
But what does Li Xiang think, if he has to talk about it, he is only one person, the girl of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Fucha Mansion, and the original princess of Xiangqi.
"Mom, get up, this palace won't do anything to the six girls, kneeling here seems to be asking for punishment, I want to come to the lady is also inside, take the six girls with me along the way, so as not to collide with others, in case any lady is pregnant and doesn't know it, isn't it a sin?" Li Xiang saw that the woman's face turned white as he wished, and led people inside, Lidong hugged the six girls, and pulled the woman with a cold face.
There are already a lot of people in it, except for a few who can't come due to illness, the housewives and serious wives of the dignitaries in the capital are here.
As soon as Li Xiang entered, he received a lot of attention.
"The new concubine Li of the Xiangqi Palace, I have seen all the ladies." Li Xiang greeted him according to the rules, and before he knelt, he was exempted by the queen.
"It's coming, the false etiquette is waived, sit down." A room of ladies with faded brocade clothes, but most of them still don't look like peasant women, and when they sit there, they have a sense of nobility that is different from the simplicity of the surroundings, and the queen is the leader.
"Yes." Li Xiang found his seat according to his words, Da Yan respected the left, on her left was the crown princess, the military department was the queen Yuerong, and on the right hand was the wife of the Suiyuan Marquis Mansion, Ning.
Li Xiang glanced at the mother on the left of the queen's head and the sister-in-law opposite him, and smiled in return.
After a while, there were a few ladies who had not arrived gradually, the palace maid served coarse tea, Li Xiang glanced at the teacup uncovered by a lady not far away, it was indeed coarse tea, and even a complete tea could not be found, and the people below were more serious enough to do things, retracting their gaze, Li Xiang did not touch the tea, but the one who had already uncovered the lid of the cup, it was a question whether to drink it or not, and in the end I didn't know whether to drink it or not.
"Farming is a big deal, the Son of Heaven is even more so, the snow disaster was raging in many places last year, and now it's spring, although the weather is still cold, but the early resumption of farming is the top priority." The queen listened to the female official's order, looked at the noble lady in the room with a smile, and said, "You may have to be wronged in terms of food and clothing, but praying for the people, these are nothing, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment is the right way." ”
"Yes, we will follow the teachings of the mother!"
The queen nodded, and was about to order the group to rest for a while, when she heard someone shouting outside, and the female official hurriedly came in to talk back, the queen stared, turned her head to look at Li Xiang, and then turned back, and said, "Where is Mrs. Fucha?" ”
"The courtiers are here." A somewhat slender looking woman slowly came out.
"You came alone today?"
"Hui Niangniang, I came alone."
The queen looked at the woman who came out to reply below, raised her hand, and a female official asked: "The movement just now, that is, someone came to pay tribute, saying that the whereabouts of the six girls in your mansion are unknown, and they should be detained by the seventh princess." ”
