The comb was carved by Sun Youmu himself, and he said a few days ago that he was cut by a carving knife on his hand.

Xun Xiang put the hand holding the letter and comb on his chest, and he didn't feel lonely and lonely.

Except that sweetness is still sweet.

Several subordinates also became happy when they saw the expression of their master.

Not long after, the two mothers-in-law beside Mrs. Sun of the Zhenhai Hou Mansion came, each taking two food boxes.

A mother-in-law said with a smile, "The eldest lady said that there are only the county lord and the fourth master left in the princess's mansion, so let the old slave send a few dishes over."

Xun Xiang smiled, "Thank you, Mrs. Sun."

Yuhuan gave two mothers-in-law purses containing silver bills.

Not long after, Xunfu also asked people to send four dishes.

A mother-in-law smiled and said, "The old ancestor didn't see the county lord, so he lost his temper and didn't eat."

Xun Xiang smiled, "I'll go and kowtow to his old man on the fourth day of junior high school."

At the end of the unitary time, Xun Yibo rushed back.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my sister dressed in red and holding a lantern chasing and playing with Feifei and Heiwa. Feifei was wearing armor, and Heiwa was wearing a red scarf, which was very joyful.

Xun Yibo laughed. With my sister here, this home is not deserted.

He forced his mother's tearful countenance down.

Xun Xiang asked, "Is my mother okay?"

"Well, it's fine. I told her that my sister and I would go to spend the New Year with her, and my mother was very happy."

Xun Xiang smiled and said nothing. Dongyang will never become so transparent and reasonable, she must be scolding herself for not thinking about her mother, only thinking about her relatives......

The two brothers and sisters took a few subordinates to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the side room of the main landlord of Ziyuan.

They eat on the kang table.

There was a table on the floor. The big table was eaten by two grandmothers and a few girls, and Mama Song was also invited. A few are eaten by Feifei and Heiwa.

There are also a few tables set up in the front yard, which are eaten by the subordinate officers, guards and subordinates on duty.

After eating the New Year's dinner, he put more than a quarter of an hour of smoke in the purple courtyard, and Xun Yibo went to the outer courtyard to keep the New Year.

Xun Xiang led the girls to play drumming for a while.

Before going to bed, Xun Xiang still ran out of a thin layer of sweat, and the room was fragrant, which made Feifei and the little fairy satisfied.

At the beginning of the next day, Xun Yibo came to the Purple Courtyard again, and the two brothers and sisters went to the palace to pay New Year's greetings after breakfast.

The two said okay, Xun Xiang lived in the palace for a few days, Xun Yibo lived in Xunfu for a few days, and Xun Xiang went out of the palace to Xunfu on the fourth day of the new year.

didn't bring Feifei and Heiwa, let Jin'er take them to Dingfu to play.

As in previous years, the clan relatives and a few noble ladies lined up to pay New Year's greetings to the queen's mother.

It's just that this year, Concubine Li, Concubine Xia, Princess Dongyang, Princess Xiyang, Princess Qi, Li Shanzhu, and Shen Ying are missing.

These people have special seats.

There are so many seats missing in the main hall at once, which is not used to it.

Queen Ye was afraid that Xun Xiang was not fun, so she looked at the few little ladies sitting in the distance and laughing.

She has always disliked the six princesses, and Prince Qing's granddaughter Ming Ming was sick and didn't come, so she had to call the eldest daughter of King Duan, the county lord Mingde, to come close to talk to Xun Xiang.

Gao Shanzhu and Shen Ying are gone, so let Ming Ming and Mingde play with Xiangxiang more in the future.

Empress Ye only took a few closer glances at Gao Dezhu today, and her eyes lit up.

smiled, "Time flies so fast, Mingde has grown into a big girl, dignified and supple, very good."

Gao Dezhu was praised by the queen for the first time when she was so old, and her little face was flushed with excitement. Princess Duan, who was sitting on the side, also laughed, and her stereotypical face had a little color.

The Zhang family came in to greet the queen, Xun Xiang couldn't sit well, got up and stood aside, and Gao Dezhu, who was holding her arm, also stood up together.

Zhang got up after kowtowing, and Xun Xiang walked over and hugged her arm.

The queen smiled and said a few words to the Zhang family, and Concubine Cai Shu and Concubine Qin also had fun.

At this time, the Zhang family seemed to be one of the most face-saving noblewomen, envious of others.

Concubine Qin said, "I heard that General Ding Xiao was dismissed? Ouch, that house

It's true, what he said at the beginning was so beautiful, as soon as he heard that General Ding Xiao 'died', he hurriedly retreated."

Zhang didn't dare to speak much on this occasion, and only "sighed" a few times.

Empress Ye said, "Xianbengong also thought that if that girl married into the Ding Mansion as promised, she would definitely reward her, who knew that she had such a pair of short-sighted parents."

She heard Xun Xiang say that it was her parents' fault that she didn't complain about the girl.

Princess Lao Rong said, "General Ding Xiao is young and promising, dignified, and valued by the emperor, but that girl is not blessed."

After Zhang stepped back, Gao Dezhu whispered, "How could Miss Yang be like that. It is good for a man to stand without faith, and to lose."

Xun Xiang nodded, "Yes."

After the New Year, the princes and grandsons whose biological mothers had died were arranged to go to a few small palaces to rest, and wait until the next day to have a family banquet with the emperor and queen.

Xun Xiang played with Gao Dezhu all morning, and it stands to reason that she should be left to play in Kunning Palace, but Xun Xiang did not stay.

Regardless of whether King Duan wants to seize the crown prince or not, Xun Xiang will keep his distance from her.

Gao Dezhu was very disappointed in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he helped Princess Duan to leave.

During the dinner, Queen Ye said, "This palace thinks that Mingde is good, steady and dignified, and behaves properly, which is much stronger than the sixth princess, and Xiangxiang will play with her more in the future."

Xun Xiang said with a smile, "Sister Mingde is two months older than the Sixth Emperor Aunt, and the Six Emperor Aunts all have horses."

Empress Ye suddenly said, "No, Mingde is almost fifteen years old, and he hasn't decided on a marriage yet. King Duan was confused, Princess Duan was honest, and the two didn't say anything about finding a decent son-in-law for the child. Wait for the palace to ask, if they fancy which offspring this palace will give marriage."

Xun Xiang said secretly, hurry up and give one, as long as it's not your own eldest brother.

In a side hall of Minghe Palace, Princess Duan, who had a happy face, whispered to Gao Dezhu.

"I see that Xiangxiang is having a great time with you, and I will go to the queen mother next morning and ask her to marry her daughter and Ding Lichun. Alas, my daughter is of noble birth and beautiful and talented, but for the sake of your father, she wants to wronged you to marry such a reckless man."

Gao Dezhu subconsciously looked around the empty room, and whispered, "Mother concubine, wait a minute, Xiangxiang and her daughter are in a face-saving relationship, if they reject it, they will be passive. This is not a matter of urgency......

Princess Duan didn't believe it, her daughter married Ding Lichun to marry, would they still be willing?

But she was accustomed to listening to the words of the prince and the eldest daughter unconditionally, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, just wait."

Hearing the voice of the girl outside shouting "Her Royal Highness the Princess", knowing that it was Princess Nanyang who was coming, Princess Duan's eyes became wooden again.

When the next Shen is down, the royal family banquet is held in the Daci Palace.

Qiu Wang's family was also invited.

Xun Xiang saw Qiu Wangzhi's father Wei Guogong for the first time, he didn't look like Qiu Wangzhi at all, he was thin and short, and his skin was white like rice paper.

Hearing that this grandfather of the country was poor as soon as his illness was cured, Mrs. Qiu had already asked the emperor to take off the title of Duke of Weiguo to Qiu Wangzhi.

The emperor did not agree, saying that Qiu Wangzhi was still young, and he would wait until he reached the age of twenty-eight to inherit the title. Twenty-eight-year-old Wei Guogong is also terrible.
