Chapter 419: The Alliance
Empress Ye smiled with a wrinkled face, "Ouch, hurry up, this palace is looking forward to you."
Xun Xiang got up and leaned into Queen Ye's arms, and Queen Ye took the red envelope presented by the chamberlain and handed it to Xun Xiang's hand.
Xun Xiang thanked him and handed it to Mama Wang behind her.
Next to Queen Ye sat a few concubines such as Concubine Cai Shu and Concubine Li, and then there were some princesses and princesses, including Princess Lao Rong, a neighbor of Princess Dongyang's mansion. There were a few little girls sitting at the end, including the six princesses, Gao Shanzhu and others.
Xun Xiang felt that she had gotten up early enough, but it turned out that someone was earlier than her.
Xun Xiang greeted the elders, and the chamberlain added a brocade stool obliquely on the side of the queen, and Xun Xiang sat here.
It made the little girls' eyes very hot.
The waiter at the door reported his name, "I entered the palace to kowtow to the queen."
The women came in one by one.
If the status is particularly high, you can sit in the main hall after kowtowing and say a few words to the queen.
The status is second-class, standing and saying a few words.
The identity is waiting again, kowtowing and showing his face and leaving.
There are also some women who are not even qualified to enter the temple gate.
Mrs. Xun was particularly gracious to the queen mother, and stood and said a few words.
Mrs. Dong was given a special grace, and Xun Xiang walked over and leaned into her arms very affectionately.
Xun Xiang was very puzzled, Mrs. Dong, who doesn't like heavy makeup, put on more colorful makeup today. Not only today, it seems that the makeup of the capital is thicker than that of Jiaodong, and it is thicker today.
Today's occasion does require heavy makeup, but Mrs. Dong is too thick, and she has completely lost her previous beauty and gentleness.
Mrs. Dong hugged Xun Xiang and said with a smile, "The courtiers have a relationship with the lord of Xiangxiang, and she was rare when she was in Jiaodong. Look at her ear piercings, it was still beaten by the courtiers, and the courtiers felt that the fragrance was blessed.
"Why, it's not a great blessing to be the granddaughter of the queen's mother-in-law......
Queen Ye smiled and narrowed her eyes.
After saying a few more words, Mrs. Dong stepped back very discerningly.
It was almost noon, and all the women who entered the temple had kowtowed, and the rest were the women who kowtowed outside the door. The weather was cold, so they sat in the side hall first, and it was time to kowtow before going out.
The waiter at the door reported his name again, "Mrs. XX has kowtowed to the queen mother to pay New Year's greetings."
And the man knelt on the futon in front of the temple gate, and kowtowed.
Zhang's mother belongs to such a woman.
Xun Xiang was very distressed, and quietly asked Yuhuan to take care of it.
At this time, the attendant outside the door sang again, "Sincerity Bo Shizi's wife Ding Zhang entered the palace to kowtow to the queen's mother."
This is the Zhang family was allowed to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the chamberlain smiling and gesturing to her, he walked into the hall with many envious eyes.
Queen Ye had seen Zhang alone once before, and Zhang was very scared, and his voice was shaking.
This is the second time I have seen the queen, so I am not so nervous.
She knelt down and kowtowed, "The courtesy Ding Zhang has given the queen a New Year's greeting, and I wish the queen a healthy health and all the best."
Empress Ye smiled, "Flat."
After Zhang got up, Xun Xiang walked over and took her hand.
Queen Ye smiled, "Looking at this mother, Xiao Xiangxiang is going to be coquettish again."
Everyone cheered and laughed.
Concubine Li smiled, "There are not many adoptive mothers who feel so sorry for their daughters."
Zhang smiled, "My father-in-law likes to say that the girl is the official of the day, and the girl has to hurt well."
Queen Ye loved to hear these words and gave the Zhang family a seat.
Queen Ye asked a few interesting stories about Xun Xiang in the Ding family. Before coming, Ding Zhao taught Zhang, and she said a few words in a nice and auspicious way.
Xun Xiang knew that Zhang didn't like such an occasion, and after a few words, he interrupted at the right time, and Zhang got up to say goodbye.
By the time all the women had finished kowtowing, it was already the end of noon.
Queen Ye was tired and went to rest after eating.
Take a break, Mama Chai
Kneel down to plead guilty for the eldest princess of Dongyang.
Xun Xiang also knelt down and said, "Grandmother Huang, if you want to punish Xiangxiang, please punish Xiangxiang." Xiangxiang wanted to have a reunion year, and my mother went out to find my father."
Hearing that her daughter and son-in-law were reconciled, it was too late for Queen Ye to be happy, how could she blame her.
But his face was not obvious, and he said, "Dongyang is also willing for his daughter. I won't punish her severely, and I will copy the 'female vows' ten more times."
This punishment is equivalent to tickling, and Xun Xiang and Chai Mama kowtowed happily.
Not long after, Xun Yibo came to kowtow to Queen Ye again.
When Shen Shi, everyone put on beautiful clothes and went to the Great Resignation Palace.
The Xun Xiang brothers and sisters sat at Xun Qiandai's table.
Except for the Eight Princes who were confined in the other courtyard, everyone who should have come today came, including many clan relatives, a total of two or three hundred people.
Many small tables were added, and there were two more small tables on the main seat, where several old princes and old princesses were seated.
Almost all eyes will glance at the table of Xun Horse, and then take a closer look at the Horse Master who has beaten the golden branch, revealing a playful smile.
Especially the seventeen or eighteen horses, whether old or young, their eyes were full of reverence, and they specially stepped forward to talk to Xun the horses.
Dare to hit the princess, he is the first person.
The point is, it's okay to fight.
One of them, a handsome man in his forties, burst into tears when he saw Xun Yuma.
It must have been bullied.
Xun Juma was high-spirited, and his face was flushed. was so worshipped when he was young when he was a champion and paraded the streets.
Xun Xiang secretly thought that if a "Dali Dynasty Horse Federation" was established, Xun Xiangma would definitely be elected as the chairman of the "Federation".
Should I be troubled and propose to make such an organization? Ponies are a vulnerable group, and when they are bullied and encounter problems that they can't solve on their own, they look for an organization.
Xun Xiang believes that if she proposes it, Xun Pony, who has advanced consciousness, will definitely be willing to take the lead in doing it, and the Pony will also be willing to have such an organization.
However, the emperor dislikes to form a party the most, and the "Gang Alliance" can also be said to be the "Gang Party", or the weakest and most useless party.
It's not worth much, and it's going to be a disaster for Daddy......
After thinking about it again and again, Xun Xiang dismissed this idea.
In the sound of ceremonial music, the emperor came in.
The sword-wielding guard behind him was still Sun Youmu.
After the emperor sat down, he glanced around, beckoned to Xun Xiang and smiled, "Xiangxiang, sit here."
After Xun Xiang got up and saluted, he walked up to the front seat and sat on the other side of the emperor in envy.
Fortunately, Xun Xiang is a girl, otherwise those princes would not be able to sit still.
The emperor is like this, not only to favor Xunxiang, but also to give face to Dongyang, who was not present. It means that I love Dongyang's daughter, that is, I love Dongyang.
Today's family was happy, everyone was eating and drinking while laughing, watching a burst of singing and dancing, as usual, the younger generation showed their talents. There are those who write poems, those who play the piano and the flute, and those who write.
Elders like Xun Juma will not participate, and most of them are unmarried juniors.
If they behave well, the emperor, queen and elders will be rewarded, and the things are small pendants, small incense strings, small incense sachets, ruyi ingots, small palace flowers and other small things.
