Chapter 3 The blind date banquet is set for the day after tomorrow
Xie Yangui's eyebrows moved, and when she got up, she glanced at the little palace maid, as if she was just saying it casually, and had no other meaning.
"Then how could Your Majesty grant me a marriage to His Highness the Seventh? What did my aunt say about this? "The three families selected by Emperor Mingde before looked like they were all hairpin families on the surface, one racing the other with the scenery, but the inside was all rotten.
And the eldest prince and the third prince want to be a matchmaker for her, just because there is no owner in the East Palace, and the two of them want to use her marriage to give themselves more help.
She has been arrogant and brainless in the eyes of everyone all these years, so she really doesn't understand anything?
"Niangniang is not happy, the eldest lady is out fighting, and I don't know the situation of His Royal Highness Seven, but can Niangniang not know? Because of this incident, Niangniang and His Majesty had a lot of trouble! But this matter is Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, saying that the eldest lady has retired three times, and if you choose one person from among the princes, I don't know who mentioned the matter of His Royal Highness and the Third Highness to His Majesty, so ...... The Seven Highnesses were appointed. β
As he spoke, the screen in front of the tub was removed, revealing clothes and jewelry that occupied almost half of the side hall.
The military department is still in the book Lu He? Xie Yangui blinked, sighed quietly in her heart, and let the palace people bring clothes and jewelry to dress her up.
When she finally came out of the side hall, Xie Cheng also prepared her favorite meal, and the aunt and nephew sat down together, Xie Cheng wiped her hands and looked at her, and her face was very satisfied.
"Niangniang," the little palace maid who had just been sent by her to deliver snacks to Emperor Mingde was outside the hall, carrying a food box in her hand, Xie Cheng agreed, she entered the palace and saluted her aunt and nephew, "Your Majesty ordered to send two pots of wine from the Western Regions to give Niangniang and the eldest lady a taste." β
"Got it, you all stand down." The words agreed lightly, and when the wine was placed on the table, Xie Ji waved his hand and retreated from the palace people.
Xie Yangui picked up the wine jug and poured wine, thinking of what the little palace maid said, and then looking at her aunt's reaction at this time, she guessed that she and Emperor Mingde were still angry.
"Auntie, I'm so old now, I'll take care of the marriage, don't be angry." As she spoke, she placed the poured wine in front of Xie Hui.
"How can I not be angry?" Xie Yan frowned slightly, the beauty was angry, it was really pleasing to the eye, but the person in front of her was her own aunt, Xie Yangui hurriedly coaxed her.
"Auntie, I'm so angry~" She said, holding Xie Xie's arm, just like when she was a child, gently shaking and coquettish with her.
"Today in the early dynasty, I have already asked Your Majesty to take back your order. Your Majesty has always loved me, and even if he does not allow me to come up with ideas later, he will surely consider my affairs with Zhou Jing as appropriate. β
When Xie Yangui said this, Xie Yan was holding the wine glass to her lips with her other hand, and when she heard the sentence "It has always hurt me", she paused slightly, and then drank the wine in the cup, "What idea did you give Your Majesty?" β
Xie Yangui let go of her arm, poured wine for her again, and talked about the selection of small portraits and the blind date banquet.
She thought that her aunt would say that she was messing around, but she didn't think that Xie Cheng turned her head to look at her with a smile on her face.
"Your method is good, so do you want this small statue of the gentlemen in Kyoto, or do you want to hold a blind date banquet? Why don't we do it together, I will order someone to go outside the palace and find you all the portraits of the fiancΓ©s, and as for the blind date banquet, it will be set the day after tomorrow according to what you said. β
Xie Yan said, raising her hand to call someone, Xie Yangui hurriedly pressed her hand, "Aunt! Auntie, Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet! We're not in a hurry about this. β
"How can you not be in a hurry? You are twenty years old this year, and when your mother was your age, your second brother was born. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, your aunt is here. β
Gently patted Xie Yangui with the hand that was not pressed, Xie Yan smiled gently, she picked up the ivory chopsticks and clothed vegetables, "Taste it, see if my aunt's craftsmanship has improved?" β
Xie Yan's craftsmanship has nothing to say, and the dishes he makes are all Xie Yangui's favorite dishes, and the wine sent by Emperor Mingde is also good, but two pots are not enough for his aunt and nephew to drink.
Since Xie Yan returned, he would not be unprepared, and there was also a flower wine brewed by Xie Yan in the hall, which was enough for the aunt and nephew to have a good time.
This wine was drunk from morning to evening, and after a few glasses of wine, Xie Cheng was already drunk.
She took Xie Yangui's hand, and smiled with her sparkling eyes, "My good niece, this blink of an eye is so big!" Don't worry, your aunt will take good care of you. β
In Xie Yangui's impression, his aunt Xie Ji has always been the dazzling beauty, she has been fighting in northern Liaobei all these years, and she always leaves in a hurry when she comes back, and her aunt and nephew have little time to get together.
Today, it is rare that their aunt and nephew are in one place, and they can have a good meal and talk about themselves.
When the Xie family had an accident, Xie Yan was pregnant, Xie Yan couldn't afford to get sick after returning to the family, and the matter of his brother and sister-in-law and nephew and his niece's serious illness were all together, and Xie Yan was so tired that he had a miscarriage and has not been pregnant again.
Over the years, she has given all her hard work and love to Xie Yangui.
"Auntie, I'm older now, and it's time for me to protect you in the future." The light of dusk shone into the hall through the window lattice, and Xie Yan returned to Xie Hui gently rubbing her calloused hands and responding with a smile.
saw Xie Yan shook her head gently, and reached out to pull the broken hair between her sideburns for her, and for a moment, Xie Yangui seemed to see a look on her face that she had never seen before.
But when she measured it carefully, all she could see was tenderness to her.
"Tell my aunt, there is nothing that makes you feel excited in Liaobei all these years?" With her elbows propped up on the table and her chin propped up, Xie Cheng smiled.
"Not really." After taking a sip of wine, Xie Yangui smiled helplessly.
"Yes, if there is one, your marriage will not be so swayed." Xie Yan nodded, picked up the cup and wanted to drink it again, but was stopped by Xie Yangui, "Auntie, we have drunk enough today, and any more will hurt our bodies." β
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xie Yan smiled and reached out to caress Xie Yangui's cheek, "I'm really a little tired, so I'll go and rest." β
As she spoke, she got up a little shaky, seeing that she was about to fall, Xie Yangui hurriedly reached out and picked her up, but then frowned.
It's too light.
"Ouch, you little girl, now you can hold your aunt." Xie Ji raised her hand and touched her head, smiling drunkenly.
Xie Yangui carried her to the inner hall and carefully placed her on the bed, she turned over, found a comfortable position for herself, and waved her hand casually.
Withdrawing from the inner hall, Xie Yangui summoned the palace people who were waiting by Xie Yan's side and gave a few words of advice.
After finishing the order, she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the inner hall, and then left, going to her residence in the Qifeng Palace.
The furnishings in the hall are almost the same as her residence in the Xie family's old mansion, and all the items have been carefully selected and arranged, and at a glance, you can see that someone is cleaning from time to time.
She hadn't lived here in a long time.
Xie Yangui sat on the soft couch and sighed quietly in his heart.
The little palace maid's inquiring voice came from outside the hall at this time, "Miss, are you resting?" β
