Gan Tang went to change into a more luxurious dress and came out to thank him.

After three plus three bows, most of the ceremony is completed, and then it is time to place the liquor, the Jiaozi, listen to the training, and thank the guests.

After the ceremony, the guests were about to say goodbye, when they suddenly heard a quick report from outside, saying that the emperor had a noble person to send a gift letter.

According to the current status of the Xichuan Bian family, in front of them, only the royal family can be called nobles.

The envoy also said that he was a noble person in the imperial capital, and then only His Majesty, who is in charge of the world and has the power to control the world.

For a while, the guests who were originally going to leave all stayed, wanting to see what the nobles from the imperial capital looked like.

The nobles from the imperial capital are not unusual, they have noses and eyes like ordinary people, but his gait is not very different from the man next to him, the man next to him walks boldly, this person walks slightly hunched over, and his steps are smaller than the man next to him, and he is not too old, but he does not have a beard, and the blue and black under his chin is also very bland.

"General Wan An, old lady Wan An ......" The master of Bian Mansion is at home today because of something at home, and the men greeted them one by one, but they didn't call the wrong person.

In the end, his eyes fell on Gan Tang, who was dressed in a dress: "I think this is the daughter of the Tingyi Township Lord, the Gan girl of the Gan family." ”

Gan Tang didn't know this person, but seeing that her maternal grandparents were very polite to him, she blessed him.

The other party turned sideways and said humbly: "How can the slave afford the courtesy of the big girl?" Back then, the queen mother was commensurate with the sister of the Tingyi Township Master in private, and the eldest girl was the master of the slave. ”

This man was actually sent by the current queen!

How did Gan Tang know what the relationship between her mother and the queen was, in short, before something happened at home, she had never heard her mother say that she and the queen had a sisterly relationship.

Fortunately, Gan Tang is young, and she has a lot of elders at the scene, so she doesn't have to talk awkwardly, so Gan Tang looked at her maternal grandparents.

"What Neiguan Li said was all one or twenty years ago, and the queen's mother has a good memory, but I don't know, does the queen have something to say to her cousin?" It was Gan Tang's third aunt who spoke, that is, the Chen lady who was not a princess in the past 20 years in the Fu Dynasty but married to Bian Mansion with the dignity of a princess.

Today's queen's surname is Chen, and she belongs to the same clan as this Chen lady, and her great-grandfather's generation is a brother.

Hearing this, Li Neiguan gave a salute to Gan Tang's third aunt, and Gan Tang looked at it, this salute was much more respectful than the salute he had just made to her maternal grandparents.

Li Neiguan smiled at the third aunt and said, "The queen mother also misses the third lady, the slave came this time, the queen mother asked the slave to bring you the pine needles and snow on the Shuangfeng Mountain, and she is also looking forward to the wine you brewed." ”

"Thank you so much, the Queen." Obviously, the relationship between the third aunt and the queen is not good, and the third aunt can't see any respect for the internal officials around the queen.

After being so disturbed by the third aunt, Li Neiguan's face lost the arrogance and confidence he had when he first came, and he no longer mentioned the old relationship between the queen mother and the lord of Tingyi, but said, "The queen mother knows that the eldest girl is an adult, and the special slave sends congratulatory gifts to the eldest girl." The queen also said that there are hundreds of women in the family, and she knows that the eldest girl is both talented and beautiful, and she is a rare celebrity lady, and she likes the eldest girl very much. ”

Is this to marry Gantang?

"Oh, the slave is really damned, the queen mother has prepared a gift for the eldest girl, the eldest girl opens it and takes a look, do you still like it?"

Li Neiguan handed the black wooden box with a carved beast wrapped in a jewel to Gan Tang.

Gan Tang didn't have the courage to pick it up for a while, so he secretly glanced at Li Neiguan, and then went up to pick up the box.

"Big girl, might as well take a look at the gift given to you by the queen, and you will still be happy?" Li Neiguan reminded.

Gan Tang's head was a mess, but she knew that this box couldn't be opened, otherwise she would have to sit on something.

Gan Tang was quiet and said respectfully, "Thank you for the queen's reward, the little girl's posture of Pu Liu, how to be the mother's blue eyes, the gift given by the queen's mother is excellent, and the little girl loves it very much." ”

Seeing that Gan Tang didn't mean to open the box, Li Neiguan said with an uncertain face, "When the queen mother married His Majesty, before she was married, the first emperor took pity on the mother, so he asked the queen mother, who was still a concubine at the time, to prepare a phoenix hairpin that the queen mother often wears for the queen mother to make a gift, and the mother was very grateful, and she also loved the gift very much......

The queen has a son under her knees, who was made the crown prince early and entered the East Palace, which is the same age as Gan Tang.

The guests who had not yet left suddenly realized that they couldn't help but secretly envy Gantang, they were all orphans, and they could still get such a good marriage.

Gan Tang's hands and feet were cold, and she was also helped by the concubine beside her, so that she would not lose her temper on the spot.

"Li Neiguan, it's not a coincidence that I'm here today, the banquet is scattered at this time, you are the queen's messenger, Bian Mansion should clean the courtyard, bathe and burn incense to receive, and please go inside to drink tea first." Li Neiguan still wanted to speak, and General Bian, who had always been courteous to Li Neiguan, spoke in a deep voice.

Gan Tang's grandfather, General Bian, has been on the battlefield for decades, and his gentle and soft-spoken speech on weekdays is like training people, but now he is deliberately serious, and his demeanor is not angry and arrogant.

The other masters of the Bian family immediately looked for an opportunity to find an excuse to send the guests who participated in the ceremony, and Gan Tang was also taken back to the boudoir by his third uncle and mother in the chaos.

As soon as she entered Gantang's boudoir, she threw the box aside, and her move was exchanged for a slap from the third lady, "The things of the royal family, how can you be treated like this." ”

Yan Yan covered her head and said unwillingly, "They are so annoying, Gan Tang is so good, they have to give her a marriage and let her marry someone she doesn't want to marry." ”

The third aunt picked up the box and took out the phoenix hairpin inside.

There are also three, six, nine, etc., the average woman will only wear an iron phoenix hairpin or a wooden phoenix hairpin when she gets married in her life, and the woman who has a little money or power will have a gold or silver inlaid phoenix hairpin, and the phoenix hairpin with all gold and silver embellished with pearls, jade, agate, jade, coral and other materials must be worn by the woman and the inner palace mother.

When the queen entered the palace that year, she was a six-pin treasure forest, and she could only use inferior gold, silver and pearl jewelry according to the regulations, but because this hairpin was given by the lady concubine, the phoenix eye of this phoenix hairpin was decorated with jadeite.

Fengchai is undoubtedly gorgeous and extravagant, but its appearance is too inappropriate, and no one on the scene has any intention of appreciating it.

Gan Tang looked at the phoenix hairpin, her face suddenly turned white, and she asked desperately, "Third uncle, Tang'er has never shown her face in front of the queen's mother, why would she think of giving me a marriage?" Now that she has made her words clear, can I not marry on my own? ”

"Third lady, it's not like this, Gan Tang can still marry the person she wants to marry, right? Eh, third lady, you are so powerful, you want to help Gantang. ”

Gan Tang and Yan Yan are still young and have never experienced strong winds and waves, but they are still panicked.

The third lady gave a blank look, this little girl just said bad things about the queen in order to appease Gan Tang.

"It's a little thing that makes you both panic like this. That Li Neiguan just said that there are hundreds of women in the family, and the people have not yet settled, Tang'er, the marriage can also be given to you and the Langjun of the Yanguo family. ”

"Why hasn't it been decided? Then what did Li Neiguan say about the queen, the queen mother, and the first emperor, didn't he mean that he wanted to give Gantang to Jinshang as a little wife? ”

Gan Tang was still in a trance, and he became Gan Tang's mouth.

However, the third lady's face was a little ugly, she didn't expect that the queen would think that the queen wanted to take Gan Tang into the palace to be the palace concubine.

"You head melon, this year's assessment will be set and wait." The third lady said quietly.

Yan Yan's bright and moving little face immediately collapsed into a bitter melon, and she wailed, "Don't, Third Madam, if Yan Yan says the wrong thing, Yan Yan will change it, if Kaotin waits, I won't be able to enter the women's barracks." ”

"You're going to talk about it another day." The three women poked the foreheads of the two girls, "Tang'er, don't panic anymore, you are not allowed to say those disrespectful words again, you two stay here first, and I will go ahead and take a look." ”

The two girls saluted, anxiously waiting for the news to come from ahead.

Seeing that Gan Tang's face was not good, she poured a cup of tea for her, and said softly, "Gan Tang, don't worry, General Bian and they will definitely plan for you, as you wish, maybe, this marriage is what your brother Yi asked?" ”

Gan Tang shook his head sadly, "If it was Brother Yi, the queen mother would not have sent Fengchai here, she wanted me to enter the East Palace." ”

Yan Yan was taken aback, "Didn't I send you to the palace to be His Majesty's little wife?" "Ah, shame, no wonder the assessment has to wait.

No, now is not the time to think about this, Yan Yan took back her thoughts, "No, no, Gan Tang, I am obedient to the book, the prince of the East Palace has to marry a lot of wives, if you go to the East Palace, won't you become one of the many wives of the prince?" It is said in the book that the prince of the East Palace is stupid and stupid, and he can't be the prince for long, you are so smart and so good, the prince is not worthy of you. ”
