Wei Mengyao was thick-skinned, she squinted and smiled, and started a new topic, "Hey, the concubine has been here for a long time, why don't you see King Jin?" ”

Seeing that the queen was stunned and hesitated, she paused and continued:

"When the concubine left Beijing, the King of Jin was still in infancy, and he had been separated for almost ten years, and I don't know what he looked like now, so the Queen Mother might as well call the King of Jin out and let him meet the two brothers Qisheng."

Cao Feiyan didn't mean to object, she turned her head and asked Biyu, "Can King Jin be in the palace?" ”

"Yu Niangniang, King Jin is now studying in the room."

Cao Feiyan nodded and said, "Go and call him over, let him meet his Aunt Ning and Brother Wang." ”

Since he and King Zhao were reprimanded by the crown prince the day before yesterday, he has been a little sluggish.

Not to mention going outside the palace, even in the back garden of Funing Palace, he usually doesn't go to the places he likes to visit.

In addition to going to the study, he was bored in his room, saying that he was reading, and he didn't know what to do, which hurt his self-esteem.

However, Cao Feiyan has no intention of ignoring Gu Ying's self-pity of a young man, since he was born a man, this little thing is not enough.

It won't be long before he forgets and grows, and he goes.

It's just that today there is a ready-made opportunity to divert Jin Wu's attention, so there is no need to use it in vain.

After a while, King Jin came over.

I saw that he was dressed neatly, but he was drooping his head, and he didn't have any energy at first glance, and he was as lively and active as before.

He first greeted Wei Mengyao, and then bowed to Yuan Qisheng under the guidance of Biyu.

Seeing this, Cao Feiyan knew that King Jin had not yet eased his breath, and said in his heart: This kid has the same virtue as Yuan Zhi, and a little thing is worth putting in his heart.

At this time, Wei Mengyao had already asked with a smile what King Jin had read.

It's true that Yuan Xuan is in a low mood, but he is a little wet when he reads seriously, so he picks a few titles and says them.

Wei Mengyao said with some envy:

"I didn't expect King Jin to be so knowledgeable at a young age, I think it was the Queen Mother who taught him well."

"If you study well, you have to die well!" Cao Feiyan couldn't help but snort.

At this time, Jasper came in and said that dinner was ready, and everyone was invited to take a seat.

……

The prosperous palace celebration has just passed, and the New Year's Day will be opened.

Because the emperor was bedridden, he was replaced by the crown prince of the state.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the palace tea banquet, which is equivalent to the Central Spring Festival tea party in later generations.

The royal family held a tea banquet in the Chonghua Hall of Taiji Palace to talk freely and compose poems and couplets.

Most of the content is to praise the new year and new atmosphere, the harvest of grains, the peace of the world, etc.

During the banquet, the princes and ministers sat in the west side hall of the Chonghua Palace, and the specially invited social elites, literati and students sat in the east side hall.

On New Year's Day, the court of the Zongren Mansion announced the auspicious day of the prince's wedding, the eighth day of the third month.

This is the day of the nation's celebration.

For the tea banquet, Guo Fu was of course invited.

But the male protagonist and the young master of Guo's mansion are all on the frontier, Mrs. Guo is not in good health, and Guo Xiujuan's identity is a little special.

In order to show his sincerity and not make any extraneous branches, the prince decided to pick it up in person early in the morning.

According to the national etiquette law, a woman and her husband can hardly meet before they get married, but where will the prince believe this.

The two of them violated normal etiquette in this way.

But there aren't many people who care, more just want to see the excitement.

The prince is large and spacious, in the end, it is a royal style, with a high-quality charcoal fire and a warm current wandering.

There were two little eunuchs serving inside, and Guo Xiuniang and her personal maid Hongyu sat on the side.

Xiuniang wore a pale white Luo skirt, a fox robe, pearl earrings, a white jade bracelet on her wrist, and a red sachet around her waist.

She sat upright, her slender white and soft legs resting on her thin legs, and her jade fingers curled slightly.

She looked up at the prince, and saw that he was half-bent and leaning against the sturdy wall, closing his eyes and recuperating.

In the end, the prince had a lot of things, and he had to deal with women's entanglements at night, and he belonged to the weak-willed elements.

So, he's a break from the seams.

The prince didn't speak, which also saved Xiuniang's embarrassment.

Although she is a new faction, she has few opportunities with the prince, and she has been subservient three times, and all of them are serious eight hundred.

The two of them have never sat in a chariot together and gone out to play.

It's the first time I've been face-to-face like this, and I'm really not used to it.

Guo Xiuniang looked at him, thinking about something else.

She doesn't care about marrying the prince, the two don't have much affection at all, but their father's fate is hard to disobey.

The prince suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What's on the lonely face?" ”

Guo Xiuniang was shocked when she heard this, her hand was propped up on the velvet blanket on the chariot, her heart was beating hard, and she whispered: "The courtiers are offended." ”

She thought the prince was asleep.

The two little eunuchs knelt on both sides of the car door, bowing their heads and glaring, not daring to listen or speak.

This is the crown prince and the future crown princess, and he can't be lazy.

The tassels on both sides of the carriage swayed slightly with the carriage, and the curtains were dark blue, blocking out the overly bright sunlight outside.

The prince sat up, took the glazed porcelain teacup with his slender fingers, slowly poured a cup of tea by himself, and pushed it to Guo Xiuniang, "Drink." ”

Xiuniang was slightly stunned, and looked up at the prince, I don't know why.

She has a graceful figure, her earrings sway slightly, her neck is white and delicate, and her long hair draped over her shoulders is jet black, but her eyes are a little puzzled.

"If you are thirsty, pour it yourself."

The pale tea rippled slightly in the cup, Guo Xiuniang stubbornly picked it up, and took a sip with her red lips.

Yuan Zhi looked at the moistness on her lips, gently rubbed the lid with her slender fingers, and said casually:

"When the first month of the new year ends, I will send someone to Dunhuang to ask your father to return to Kyoto and make a special trip to preside over your wedding."

The carriage passed through the potholes in the ground and shook a few times.

The prince suddenly mentioned the marriage, Guo Xiuniang was nervous for a while, and she didn't hold the teacup in her hand.

"Bang dang..."

The teacup fell on the carriage table, the tea splashed slightly on her skirt, and the cup spun around twice on the table.

Hongyu hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe off the tea on her body, and wiped off the tea that was flowing down the table.

Xiuniang got up and was about to retreat, but her slender wrist was suddenly held by a big hand.

The prince pulled her to his side.

Xiu Niang's body was not very stable, she fell on the chariot velvet blanket, her embroidered shoes rubbed on the ground, and her elbow accidentally leaned on his leg.

He hurriedly grabbed her thin waist with both hands.

Xiuniang, who had never let a man touch her skin, stiffened like an electric shock, her cheeks were as red as an apple, and she almost softened her body.

She has a sensitive constitution.

Yuan Zhi helped her sit on the soft couch with his big hand, frowned and said:

"Frizzy, don't clean up yet."

One of the two eunuchs picked up the teacup, the other wiped the water stains on the desk with his sleeve, the handkerchief in Hongyu's hand was almost soaked, and the two plates of pastries on the table were also placed on the hidden shelf.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xiuniang blushed and said in a low voice.

"Wait to attend the tea banquet and be seen like this?" The prince frowned and looked at Xiuniang, and said sullenly:

"What kind of system is this?"

The crown prince paid the most attention to these ordinary details, after all, this was a royal banquet.

Xiuniang endured it for the first time and didn't say anything.

If you hadn't suddenly mentioned the marriage, Miss Ben wouldn't have held it steady.
