Chapter 41: Worship the Elders

Lu Bingzhen thought about it and felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't refute it, and used breakfast quietly and quickly. She thought that today's breakfast was just a casual meal to cushion her stomach, thinking that she would be able to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth and meet the elders as soon as she ran out early, but as soon as she looked up, she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been eating slowly and methodically.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that we have to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and we also have to meet the elders? It's not too early now, won't it be too late? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still unhurried, "It's okay, they haven't dropped out of the court today, they are still discussing matters in the court." Even if we go early, we just wait under the sun, so we might as well take our time. “

According to the etiquette system, His Majesty's wedding should be three days away, and His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding should be one day. Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married, and today His Majesty led the civil and military officials to the court, which did not violate the etiquette system. It's just that the etiquette system is a ritual system, and most of the time in order to celebrate with the country, the prince's wedding will also drop out of the dynasty for about two days.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be in a hurry to go to the court the next morning after his wedding.

Thinking of this, Lu Bingzhen suddenly realized something, "Your Highness, don't you need to go to court?" “

Hearing Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess ask about this matter so directly, Father-in-law Fushuang and all the palace maids and eunuchs all broke down their backs in cold sweat.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned from the expedition, His Majesty couldn't wait to stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mission under the pretext of preparing for the wedding. The idea of wanting to overthrow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply self-evident, because it is really not a good thing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. None of the people in the East Palace dared to mention this matter.

However, even if it weren't for this matter, the people in the East Palace had already been frightened by His Royal Highness the Prince's cleaning over and over again, and they didn't dare to say anything more in front of him, and they didn't have any idea of inviting pets to flatter and show off.

When Lu Bingzhen was helped by Xiao Min to get into the prince's chariot, he was followed by Zhu Persimmon and Snow Tea. "The emperor's grandmother sent someone in the morning, let us go directly to the Shoukang Palace today to meet the elders. The father, the queen mother, and a group of royal relatives will be in Shoukang Palace. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen raised his head in surprise, and wanted to ask why the Queen Mother, who had always avoided the world and devoted herself to worshipping Buddha, would suddenly do this? This is obviously to suppress His Majesty, lest he embarrass her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by visiting the elders. Such an obvious act of showing favor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really unexpected for the Queen Mother to appear.

But His Royal Highness the Prince's gaze was so gentle and unquestionable, Lu Bingzhen could only suppress his doubts.

After worshipping the ancestors, Xiao Min directly led Lu Bingzhen to Shoukang Palace.

In the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty sat on the top, and the rest were the queen's palace concubines, clan relatives and others, and the hall was full. Xiao Min led Lu Bingzhen forward to meet them one by one.

"The grandson/granddaughter-in-law visits the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is blessed with Jin'an." The thin old woman, who already had gray hair on her temples, smiled and told them to get up, and called them both to come to her.

"In a blink of an eye, Min'er is married, this is the crown princess, good boy, you two are good children." The grandmother behind her brought out two greeting gifts at the right time, "These are the two things in the early years of the mourning family, and I will give them to you today." ”

The two took it and thanked the Queen Mother.

His Majesty's expression was mediocre, and he couldn't see the joy of his son's wife, and the things he gave were just ordinary palace objects, and the two were still grateful.

The happiest is of course the queen's mother, whose son has returned from a great victory and her daughter-in-law is from a famous family. She was so happy that she didn't sleep all night at the wedding, and today she is still in good spirits, and she stretched out her hand to help the two of them up when they bowed down.

"Jia'er and Jia's wife, you have to be good, support each other, and be with each other." The queen didn't give herself what the emperor gave her when she got married, probably because she didn't think it was very lucky, and gave two extremely exquisite white jade silk to wear together.

Gu Guifei looked at the princess who was dignified and elegant and came from a famous family, and then thought about the princess chosen by His Majesty for his son King Yu, she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth in her heart, but she could only give two greeting gifts with a stiff face and a smile.

Princess Guangde is also there today, she knows her brother's affection for her brother-in-law, and she helped Lu Bingzhen with a smile, "A talented woman will eventually become a family." ”

After that, the royal family was inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and they all said that they "didn't dare to accept the ceremony", and then gave a meeting gift with a smile. Even the eldest princess of Ruyang, who is the same mother as His Majesty, did not dare to make a mistake in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, and the Rongde County Jun next to her did not dare even more.

There are also several young princes, princesses, princesses, Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen also gave meeting gifts one by one. Basically, the woman has a pair of bead hairpins and the men have a pair of pen and ink.

This room full of people, after meeting one by one, it was almost time for lunch. The queen mother excused herself to be tired, so she went back to rest first, and everyone dispersed when they saw this.

Queen Wen wanted to lead her son, daughter-in-law and daughter to sit in the palace together, but Xiao Min smiled and said, "Queen Mother, since the crown princess has already married in, there are many opportunities to speak in the future." On the contrary, the imperial sister entered the palace today, and the opportunity is rare, and the queen mother might as well talk to the imperial sister today. “

Thinking about this reason, Queen Wen asked Lu Bingzhen and Xiao Min to go back to rest together. She could also see that her daughter-in-law had unconcealed fatigue in her expression today, and her eyes were also faint blue-black that could not be concealed, and she didn't want to embarrass her, so she gently asked Lu Bingzhen to have a good rest.

As soon as Lu Bingzhen sat on the prince's guard of honor, he felt an uncontrollable drowsiness coming. Xiao Min raised his hand to remove her flower crown, and Lu Bingzhen only felt that his scalp was loose, and he was held in Xiao Min's arms.

"Sleep, I'll wake you up when I get to Donggong Lonely." Lu Bingzhen was so sleepy that he said vaguely, "Thank you, Your Highness." “

Xiao Min wanted to correct her for calling Qingyan, but seeing her so drowsy, he felt that he was too calculating. Sighing, Xiao Min only felt that he had regressed in their respective affairs after only two days of marriage, but he was immersed in such accommodation and couldn't extricate himself, and he was even happier when Ah Rui was petty in front of him.

Lu Bingzhen was originally leaning on Xiao Min's shoulder, but when she woke up, she had already unconsciously curled up in Xiao Min's arms. Xiao Min's long hair swept across her forehead, bringing a slight itch. When she was asleep, she arrived at the East Palace, and Xiao Min didn't want to wake her up when she was asleep, so he also lay down with her and rested for a while.

"Is it here? Your Highness" Xiao Min didn't answer her question, but corrected her, "It's Qingyan." Lu Bingzhen was silent for a moment, and then awkwardly shouted tentatively, "Qingyan." Xiao Min smiled slightly, "Ah Rui." “

Then the two walked out of the step, and Lu Bingzhen realized that he had already arrived in the East Palace, and he didn't know how long he had stopped in front of Jinghe Palace.

As soon as he entered the Jinghe Palace, Father-in-law Fushuang stepped forward with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, all the people serving in the East Palace are here, do you want to see the reprimands?" “

Seeing Xiao Min nodding, Lu Bingzhen also nodded, she actually didn't care if she wanted to see her or not, and she didn't think that the people in the East Palace had the courage to ignore her opinion as the crown princess when doing things. As for Liwei, Lu Bingzhen felt that it was not very necessary.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants her to take care of the affairs of the East Palace, she does not need to change the old system of the East Palace, and all matters are estimated to be handled as usual. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want her, a woman from a family, to meddle in the affairs of the East Palace, then she can also be a dignified vase quietly.

The palace maids, eunuchs and grandmothers all stood quietly in the main hall of Jinghe Palace, while Lu Bingzhen and Xiao Min sat in the upper position. Father-in-law Whisshuang introduced these people one by one.

At the front are the two boudoirs, "Slave Liuli/Yingluo". Si Ze is also two people, "slave maid Yurui/Yaocao". The two chefs, "slave and maid painting screen/brocade screen". Behind him were the black pressed palms, palms, palms, feasts, palms and others. Lu Bingzhen felt a headache when he looked at so many people.

But looking at it, Lu Bingzhen suddenly found that his maid and the four grandmothers were not among them. Lu Bingzhen looked at Xiao Min, and thought in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably didn't like his interference in the affairs of the East Palace. Although she was a little disappointed in his Xiao Min's defensiveness against the family, she could barely understand.

Father-in-law Fushuang stepped forward at the right time, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, these are the people who are serving in the East Palace, please show me." ”

Lu Bingzhen bowed slightly and said, "You are all old men serving in the East Palace, presumably the rules in the palace are clear." In the future, I will still do things as before, and this palace has a scale in my heart. ”

All the palace maids and grandmothers in the East Palace bowed and said, "Slaves and maids remember the teachings of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." After the reward was given, the palace ladies and grandmothers all stepped back and went to work again.

When Lu Bingzhen woke up today, it was almost night, and after another wave of lectures, the sky was completely dark. Xiao Min lightly ordered the meal, and the palace maid served all kinds of food and snacks like flowing water.

After dinner, Lu Bingzhen, who slept for too long this afternoon, couldn't sleep in the tent after freshening up, and finally said his doubts about the queen mother's sudden overture to the East Palace during the day. Xiao Min didn't want to answer this question.

The beautiful scenery of the good day and the beautiful woman are in the arms, and it is too bad to discuss these deceitful things in the harem of the court.

What's more, Xiao Min has always wanted to take care of Lu Bingzhen under his wings, and it is best that Lu Bingzhen doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as he is safe and happy to be his Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and enjoy the honor of a lifetime.

When Lu Bingzhen's thinking diverged and asked Gu Guifei why her ugly face was today, Xiao Min finally couldn't bear to block Lu Bingzhen's mouth with a kiss. After that, it was another whirlpool of lust, until Lu Bingzhen sobbed and cried again and couldn't speak.

After freshening up again, the two lay side by side on the bed, Xiao Min looked at Lu Bingzhen, who was like a flower after being destroyed by the wind and rain, silently closed his eyes and sighed.
