Aunt Hu came up and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come."
When Li Wei heard about it, he got up first and asked Princess Yongjing to go first. The rest of them followed behind and the group walked out of the house in a mighty manner and headed towards the central hall.
There are two chairs at the top, which were originally the seats of the parents. Unfortunately, in this deep palace, Li Yi, a foreigner, is not suitable to show his face in front of a group of married women. A concubine, Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Wen can represent it. . So Li Wei invited his aunt and mother to sit down. The eldest princess was also invited to sit as the guest of honor. The rest were all spectators, and everyone took their seats one after another.
Concubine Ning had a loud voice, so she recommended herself to be the master of ceremonies and sing.
Li Xing was nothing more than a concubine from an official family, but she was both a princess and a concubine when it came to her haircut ceremony, so she was very dignified.
Concubine Ning sang the ceremony, and the praisers came out first to pay their respects. Then Li Xingcai came out to wash his hands and knelt down with the people in the hall. Concubine Ning thanked her from the side, and the scene was warm and lively.
The admirer combed his hair with Li Xing, and the eldest princess inserted hairpins with Li Xing. Then she changed into the wide-sleeved black-bottomed and red-flowered mandarin she had prepared. As expected, she was dignified and generous. When she came out to thank everyone and salute, she immediately became The center of everyone's attention.
The eldest princess also whispered in Li Wei's ear: "This girl, the Queen Mother, is a beauty. Haven't you said we'll kiss you yet?"
Li Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, in the early years, my parents were reluctant to let go and mentioned it to several families, but in the end they were not satisfied and everything was not settled."
When the eldest princess heard about it, she repeatedly said: "It is a pity that the famous flower has no owner."
Li Wei took the opportunity and said, "It sounds like the eldest princess wants to be a matchmaker for my girl?"
The eldest princess smiled and said: "I'm afraid the time is not right now. The national filial piety is not yet full. When the filial piety is full, I will propose a marriage to the fifth girl."
Li Wei heard the signs. It seemed that the eldest princess had been chosen. If the eldest princess could be the matchmaker, it would be a great honor for Li Xing, but... Li Wei came into contact with the kind eyes cast by his mother. There was something else going on. It has to be discussed.
The banquet was very simple, and no wine was prepared. Each person had a bowl of Longjing tea, and the table was full of snacks and fruits. It was more like a tea party.
Although the banquet was a little shabby, the whole ceremony was finally completed.
After having some snacks, the ladies left one after another, and Li Wei also took the car back to Chongqing Palace. Also returning to Chongqing Palace were Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Fu, as well as Li Xing and Shujia.
Li Wei felt hot, so after returning to the palace, she hurriedly changed into dry clothes.
Mrs. Wen Da and Mrs. Fu rested in Linglong Pavilion, with Li Xing accompanying them.
Mrs. Fu expressed some concern about her daughter's situation in the palace.
"The Queen Mother has taken good care of her. Why should mother be worried?"
Mrs. Fu smiled and said: "I have nothing to worry about. It is your blessing to be with the Queen Mother and Princess now. Cherish this blessing. Your whole life will be with the Queen Mother."
Mrs. Wen Da didn't say a word, she just sat there quietly drinking tea.
After a while, Li Wei, who had already changed her makeup, came over. Mrs. Wen sat still and didn't know what she was doing.
After Li Wei sat down, Mrs. Wen bowed slightly.
Li Wei didn't care. She said apologetically: "Today was still too simple, which made Fifth Sister feel wronged."
Li Xing hurriedly said: "How many women in the world dare to enjoy such a scene today? If I still feel aggrieved, other women can't even mention it."
Mrs. Fu said: "In special times, this is already good."
Mrs. Wen Da sat aside and remained silent. Li Wei glanced at her and understood clearly.
Mother and daughter exchanged some intimate words, until Mrs. Wen looked at the time and said, "I have a few words to say to the Queen Mother. Please go sit somewhere else, five girls."
Li Xing was a sensible person, so he resigned. Mrs. Fu glanced at her sister-in-law and wondered whether to avoid it, but Li Wei said straight to the point: "Auntie, if you are going to speak out for the sake of my eldest brother, I think there is no need to talk about it anymore. I have already I made it clear to my eldest brother that he is now a grandfather, and he knows exactly what is involved in this matter. He has lost the face of the Li family, and I can't protect it. "
Mrs. Wen had prepared a lot of words, but she never thought that she would provoke all this. She was so angry that she trembled and said: "Even if you are the Queen Mother, after all, you are still a member of the Li family. How can you bear to see your eldest brother in trouble?" Don’t save?”
Li Wei said coldly: "I said, I can't save him this time, it depends on his own destiny."
Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth with hatred. She worked hard to train the three girls to enter the palace to replace her own daughter, thinking that she could continue the glory of the Li family and have people in the palace who could speak up and protect the Li family. In the end, she cultivated A white-eyed wolf, he really looked away at the beginning.
She was so angry that she threw the tea bowl in her hand on the spot, pointed at Li Wei and said angrily: "If no one praises you, who are you? Do you really think of yourself as a person? Bah!"
Faced with Mrs. Wen's rude words, Mrs. Fu quickly reached out to hold her back: "Sister-in-law, please calm down, everyone heard it outside. Where can you put the Queen Mother's face like this?"
"She wants to save face, but we, the Li family, don't want face? Those who don't know how high the sky is are just raising a white-eyed wolf."
Madam Nawen took advantage of the fact that she was Li Wei's aunt and the biological mother of the late empress, so she had more face than anyone else, so she walked up to Li Wei, raised her hand and slapped Li Wei resoundingly.
His face was burning, and several red marks immediately appeared on his snow-white skin. Li Wei endured the pain and said, "It's hot, please give me an ice bowl to cool down."
After saying that, two older nuns came in from outside immediately and asked Mrs. Wen to sit elsewhere. Mrs. Wen was angry and only hated her niece with gritted teeth. If she had known this, she shouldn't have gone to all the trouble to send this girl away. When the son entered the palace, if he had been more cruel and sent the second child in, there wouldn't be no one in their room to talk to.
Mrs. Wen was invited down. Ms. Fu stood beside her daughter, looking at the fingerprints on her face with heartache.
"Good boy, do you feel pain?"
Li Wei shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
"Your uncle is so angry... don't take it to heart." The blow hit my son's body and hurt my mother's heart. This daughter was in so much pain that she could never bear to move her fingernails. The moment Mrs. Wen just felt pain in her heart.
"Mom, did I really do this wrong?"
Mrs. Fu said: "You are so unkind. The family is counting on you, but you say such things, so it makes people sad. You should also be more considerate and considerate of your aunt and your eldest brother."
"But it's obvious that the eldest brother didn't do the right thing."
"It's not up to you how to deal with this matter. To put it lightly, it's too easy."
"I don't care about these matters in the court. They have been handed over to the regent. Ask my aunt to ask the regent."
