Chapter 33: Rumors
In March, the crown ceremony of the four princes became more and more lively with the arrival of me. The military generals of the previous dynasty, who had the honor of being the crown ceremony of the four princes, came to the imperial garden from the Qiande Hall of the previous dynasty to participate in the banquet and drink with the female guests of the queen mother to celebrate the four princes.
Men and women were on both sides, the emperor and the empress sat at the top, the four princes sat close to His Majesty alone, and behind him, there were many princes and princesses.
"Fourth brother, I heard that my father gave you a marriage to Miss Su, why don't you see Miss Su for such a big event today."
The words of the second princess made the attentive people on the field prick up their ears.
The emperor looked at the children with a smile, and the queen looked at the concerned looks of everyone on the field, and took the initiative to ask.
"Ji Zhen, Miss Su wrote a few days ago, didn't she say that she would come today? Is it delayed on the way? ”
As she spoke, the queen looked at her own maiden Duchess Xu Guo who was sitting in front of her, and everyone explained, "Miss Su is frail and went to Shu County to recuperate two years ago. ”
Duchess Xu Guo has a rich face, a ruddy complexion, a neat silver bun, and a peacock title on her head.
At this time, she opened her mouth happily, "I have long wanted to meet the lady set by His Majesty for the four princes, but I have never had the opportunity. ”
The old lady took out the bag from her bosom and said jokingly, and everyone was amused when they heard it.
Next to Duchess Xu Guo is the oldest Duchess of Qin Guo, I saw that she was so happy to reach out to the old sister on the side, "As long as you tease people can't sit still, the daughter of the Su family is here, and it is not easy to show up at this time, so as not to be said to be your thing." ”
The atmosphere of everyone was happy, and the second princess was the eldest daughter of His Majesty, and she was pampered since she was a child, and she pretended to be naïve at this time and continued, "The fourth brother is the dragon and phoenix among the people, but Miss Su really makes us curious, she has not appeared in Kyoto for two years of marriage, and she has not seen her during the New Year's holiday, and she has not been seen during the New Year's holiday, but also let the fourth brother fall in love, and I don't know what a beautiful woman she is, which makes us more and more curious." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes said coldly on the side, "Miss Su stayed in Kyoto for a few years two years ago, maybe the second sister didn't know, many people present had seen Miss Su, so the second sister was curious." ”
The second princess has handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, she is born with a momentum, naturally she is not afraid of the allusion of the ninth brother, and only looks at the fourth brother Qin Jing, "We are just curious, I heard a few days ago that Miss Su was able to come to the fourth brother's crown ceremony, it seems that I will be disappointed today." ”
The second princess is the eldest daughter of the emperor, since she was a child, she has always wanted to say what she wanted, today she doesn't know what stubbornness she has committed, only staring at Su Zijin who was married by the four princes, I don't know whether it is to crown the Qiande Hall of the four princes or the daughter of the Su family, everyone just didn't hear it, and they talked to themselves, and they didn't dare to talk easily, after all, the two duchesses were ignored by the second princess just now, and they interjected rashly, I'm afraid I don't know if they will be under the second prince in person. It is Mrs. Wuhou, Su Zijin's mother, Mrs. Chang, at this time, she can only pretend that she did not hear the quarrel of the children of the heavenly family, and she will not arbitrarily mix in to defend Su Zijin.
The heroine is dressed in cumbersome clothes, Su Zijin came on horseback all the way, and when she arrived in the palace, she naturally had to redress herself in order to appear in front of everyone, otherwise, if she was unkempt and made people question the Su family's family education system, it was better not to appear.
At present, she and Mama Lai appeared on the side of the palace banquet in the imperial garden with the palace people, and as soon as they approached the palace banquet, they heard someone on the field shouting that the fiancée of the fourth prince would not appear, and in front of the emperor and empress and all the high-ranking officials, she could still speak so confidently, which made Su Zijin envious.
Mama Lai glanced at Su Zijin, Su Zijin shook her head, signaled that she was fine, and asked the palace maid to come forward to report to the queen.
The palace maid didn't expect that she would hit a big luck today, and she actually led the noble daughter of the Su family who was at the center of the topic to come, and reported it layer by layer, and the subtle movements also attracted everyone's attention.
The queen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect to say that Cao Cao, Cao Cao had really arrived, she looked around at everyone, and her red lips opened slightly, "The second princess is curious about Su Zijin, now that the person has arrived, you will take a few more glances later, and Xuan Su Zijin stepped forward." ”
The female official called her name loudly, and Su Zijin stood up to everyone's eyes and walked straight to the emperor, "The courtiers are late, please forgive your majesty." ”
The emperor still looked like a majestic uncle, looked at Su Zijin and smiled, "My Ji Zhen has never let people come to the front and still don't talk back, Su Zijin, you have to compensate the fourth." ”
Su Zijin glanced at Qin Jing, the fourth prince on the side, "Your Majesty said that it was funny, as the fourth prince is the prince, what do you want, what do you want, and what is the use of the courtier's daughter?" ”
The emperor and Su Zijin replied, so that everyone present was puzzled, the daughter of the Su family has always had no sense of existence in Kyoto, when she first came to Kyoto for only two years, she disappeared in the Kyoto social scene, everyone present was not impressed by her, only knew that she had been recuperating in Shu County for the past two years, and everyone's impression of Su Zijin felt that it should be a sick and weak beauty or something, but I didn't expect that looking at Su Zijin today, thin but not sickly and weak, tall, standing on the field, thin shoulders straight, and there was no humble posture in front of His MajestyAt this time, although she turned her back to everyone, it inexplicably made people feel that she was not sick and weak as rumored, but rather upright and upright, especially the fourth prince got up from the silence just now and walked to Su Zijin to stand still.
"Father, Su Zijin came from the starry night of Shu County, let her sit down first, and I'll talk about it later."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and the queen also glanced at Qin Jing with novelty because of this. Qin Jing's face did not move, and he took Su Zijin straight to his desk.
"Is it appropriate for me to sit here?"
Qin Jing sat at the head of the emperor, Su Zijin sat down this time, and sat directly on the top of everyone, she was standing in front of Qin Jing's table at this time, she was not sitting, she was not standing.
The emperor's eyes looked over, first glanced at his son, and then waved his hand, "Sit, I and Su Wu often sat together back then, and slept on our feet, today is Ji Zhen's crown ceremony, and it is also a family banquet, there are not so many rules, sit down." ”
The emperor spoke, Qin Jing insisted, and Su Zijin sat down helplessly. As soon as I sat down, I felt my mother's faint gaze of wanting to eat people, so I had to smile at my mother and avoid it.
The singing and dancing at the banquet continued, and the second princess watched Su Zijin talk to her father as if she was familiar with it, and sat down next to Qin Jing again, and couldn't help but speak, "Miss Su is here, let's get to know each other." Save yourself from meeting and not knowing each other in the future, and making jokes. ”
