Chapter 568: Entering the Palace (2)
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Yunxue has changed a lot from before." Shen Ningyan looked at Yun Xue and said with a smile. The woman in front of her is bright and gorgeous, although the heroic spirit between her eyebrows still exists, but compared with before, she is a little less sharp and a little more soft. I think it's more comfortable as the days go by, and I don't have to risk my life to fight like I did in the past.
"This is what my daughter's family should look like, when you were in the village, you were like a tomboy." Shen Ningyan nodded towards Yun Xue. The appearance of the girls of the Han family is indeed outstanding. In the past, Yun Xue didn't pay much attention to her appearance, but now she is dressed up like this, which is enough to make too many women lose their color.
Shen Ningyan's gaze looked back and forth between Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun, and the more she looked, the more she felt that these two people were very compatible. "Just now, the palace has discussed with Jun'er, the sixteenth day of the winter month, the marriage date is set on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and the marriage is set in the Hou Mansion."
"The marriage of the two of you is the matchmaker of the palace himself, and His Majesty decrees the marriage. Yunlin is the son of the palace and His Majesty, and the prince of the dynasty, on behalf of His Majesty and the palace, personally manages the marriage for the two of you, in order to show the importance of my husband and wife. Shen Ningyan was still smiling. However, the majesty with which she spoke made people feel a sense of awe in their hearts.
"Of course, this palace is forbidden in the palace, and I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of everything. Therefore, Yunlin said that he would ask Commander Zhong's mother to help and be the helper of the palace. The Zhong family and the Han family are familiar with each other, and it is more convenient to discuss. Yunxue, do you think this arrangement is appropriate? Shen Ningyan looked at Yun Xue and asked with a smile.
Yun Xue hurriedly stood up and curtsied towards Shen Ningyan, "Courtiers thank the queen for her grace, the queen has mercy, and Yun Xue is grateful." "Such an honor, I'm afraid that the daughter of the official eunuchs in the capital has never had, what is she not satisfied with? Yun Xue was extremely satisfied.
"Sit down, you don't have to bow still. Today is just a gathering of relatives, let's only talk about relatives, regardless of the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Qin Wenhao said next to him. Zhen Guogong thought about it behind closed doors, and the Duchess of Guo was slightly ill, so this marriage could not be handled in person. Yunxue, don't have other thoughts in your heart. ”
Qin Wenhao's statement is to directly take out the Zhenguo Mansion, so that someone will talk about this in the future. For Shen Hongjun, Qin Wenhao loves him very much, and he is also a little dissatisfied with Shen Xuan's approach. Especially when he heard Yunlin tell him about what happened in the Zhenguo Mansion just now, it made Qin Wenhao even more angry.
However, for Shen Hongjun's sake, for the sake of the queen and the old lady of the old country, Qin Wenhao couldn't send Shen Xuan down. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Xuan is the Shen family, and really taking away Shen Xuan's title is tantamount to slapping the Shen family hard. Qin Wenhao has rejected the old man's recital, but after thinking about it behind closed doors in the past three years, he has to implement it meticulously.
In the space of three years, things have changed. By the time Shen Xuan appeared in the court three years later, Shen Hongjun was already full-fledged, and he would replace Shen Xuan and become the head of the Shen family. In the future, Shen Xuan will naturally not have the opportunity to suppress Shen Hongjun again, and Qin Wenhao feels that such an arrangement is enough.
Yun Xue hurriedly said, "The courtiers don't dare. ”
In this way, the relationship between Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun was decided. In Yun Xue's heart, there was a sudden feeling that the dust had settled. She and Shen Hongjun have known each other for five years and have been in love for three years, and at this moment, they are finally consummated. Yun Xue turned her head and looked at Shen Hongjun who was sitting beside her, and smiled happily. In a month and a half, she will be his wife.
As if sensing Yun Xue's gaze, Shen Hongjun also turned his head to look at Yun Xue, the eyes of the two people met, and all kinds of emotions were silent.
The hour was already early, so Shen Ningyan ordered the meal to be served, and then the palace people successively set up a banquet in the side hall. And all the people came to the side hall and took their seats.
"Today's family banquet, don't be restrained, just have fun." Qin Wenhao looked at everyone in the hall and couldn't help laughing. "To be honest, I miss the food in the village that day. The mountains and rivers in the Northeast are good, the people are good, and all kinds of products are also rich, and I like it very much. Yunxue, didn't you bring some things from the Northeast when you entered Beijing this time? ”
"I brought some, and there was nothing good, just some fungus mushrooms, wild fruits, etc. If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, send some to Your Majesty another day. When Yun Xue heard this, she hurriedly replied.
Qin Wenhao waved his hand, "No need, after the repair of the Bofu Mansion is completed, you will always have a banquet when you move." At that time, let's get some home-cooked dishes from the Northeast, I and the queen, just go over and try them in the evening. The dishes made by the imperial chef in this palace are afraid that the taste is not beautiful, there are too many oils and seasonings, and the taste is too heavy, which is not as refreshing and pleasant as home-cooked food. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's try these dishes. Today, everyone drinks happily, and there is no need to be taboo. Qin Wenhao didn't want to continue, so he waved his hand and let everyone start eating.
Yun Xue and the others, seeing that the emperor and the empress were moving their chopsticks, dared to taste the dishes. The dishes on the table are precious in materials, exquisite in preparation, full of color, flavor and taste, and they are naturally excellent to eat. However, it is indeed as Qin Wenhao said, the seasoning is very sufficient, and the most original flavor of the food has been lost.
The women naturally lowered their heads to eat, but Qin Wenhao shook them with Shen Hongjun and Yunlin and drank wine. Of course, on this occasion, no one will let go of the real drink, but it is just a cup or two of meaning.
Xiao Yunxia did not return here for dinner, but used it in the side hall with the eldest princess. Yunxia watched the nurse next to the eldest princess feeding with a spoon, and it was a little strange. "Sister, can't she eat by herself? Why do you need to be fed by someone else? Eat by yourself, it tastes sweet. ”
When the nurse next to the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Girl, the eldest princess is young and can't hold chopsticks and spoons steadily." Won't it be a spilled meal? Besides, the eldest princess has a valuable status, and she is fed by slaves and maids. ”
Yunxia shook her head, "When others feed them, how can they eat by themselves?" Since the eldest princess has a noble status, why should she care about a piece of clothing? Find a slightly older one to wear, and then change it after eating. As he spoke, he picked up the spoon himself, scooped a spoonful of rice into his mouth, and looked at the eldest princess.
"Sister, you are like your sister, you take a spoon and eat by yourself. You can scoop whatever you like, and it tastes comfortable and sweet. "Yunxia has been eating with a spoon by herself since she was one year old, so she is a little unaccustomed to seeing that the eldest princess is three years old and still being fed.
The eldest princess played with Yunxia for a while, and she fell in love with Yunxia, and the two of them played very well. She is in the palace, although she has several younger sisters, but they are all younger than her, and they are far away, so they can't play together at all. It's rare to see my peers this time, and I naturally like it very much. As soon as she heard that she could eat by herself, Princess Celestia's eyes lit up. "Nurse, I want a spoon."
Princess Celestia stretched out her little hand and snatched the spoon, and then followed Yunxia's example, scooped the rice in the bowl with the spoon and slowly put it in her mouth. The eldest princess is three years old, her hands are very flexible, and she is quite steady, and she has not spilled any grains of rice. As soon as she took a bite of food, she danced with joy. "Sister, you see, I can also eat by myself."
"That's right, my sister is so smart and capable, so she can naturally eat by herself. Whatever you like, I'll put the plate in front of you. Yunxia praised the eldest princess very happily, and then pushed all the dishes to the eldest princess. In this way, the eldest princess can reach the dishes.
However, this dish is not as easy as rice, and there is always some soup. The first time the eldest princess ate by herself, it was inevitable that the soup would spill out.
Yunxia ran to the side of the eldest princess, handed her how to use a spoon, and the two of them taught one to learn, and they ate a lot of things in a short time.
The nurse next to her was so frightened when she saw this situation that she hurriedly shouted that she would not let the eldest princess eat it. The children in the palace are fed by hunger, and they are generally not allowed to eat too much. Because the child's spleen and stomach are delicate, he is afraid that he will eat too much and not digest it. The eldest princess can eat a small half bowl of rice on weekdays, but today she has eaten more than half a bowl. When the nurse saw it, how could she not be afraid? Hurriedly shouted to stop.
The eldest princess is still unsatisfied and wants to eat again. On weekdays, others feed her, and she eats while playing, but she can't eat much. Now that I do it myself, I feel very strange, and with Yunxia by my side, I think this meal is also a very fun thing. "Nurse, I still want to eat."
"Princess, no. You've eaten too much, beware of food accumulation, you'll have a stomachache. The nurse said, and couldn't help but look at Yunxia, and complained a little in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that this female doll had to eat it by herself, where would she have eaten so much?
What kind of person is Yunxia, it is a human sperm, as soon as she sees the nurse looking at herself, she knows that the nurse doesn't know what to think of herself. She smiled at the eldest princess, "My sister has eaten a lot today, and my sister eats less on weekdays, and if she eats too much occasionally, her stomach will be uncomfortable." You have to take your time, you will eat like this tomorrow, and it will be fine after a while. ”
When the eldest princess saw Yunxia say this, she stopped asking for food. "Is my sister full? Would you like to go with me? "It's rare for her to have a playmate, so she doesn't want to leave for a moment.
Yunxia hurriedly ate a few more bites, then took the eldest princess's hand, went to help her change her clothes first, and then the two of them walked slowly together in the side hall. This is what Yunxia heard from her sister, she can't move too much after eating, but it's not good to sit still, it's best to walk slowly.
"Sister, shall we go to find my father and mother?" Celestia asked suddenly.
