Although Hua Xiwan had some doubts in her heart, she changed into the work clothes of her princess princess, and wore a heavy golden crown to the main hall of the palace. As soon as she arrived, she saw Yan Jinqiu walking over in the uniform of the county king, and several major stewards in the yard were also waiting outside the hall.
After Yan Jinqiu entered the hall, seeing Hua Xiwan's calm face, knowing that she was not shocked by the sudden news, he smiled and walked to her side and stood still, and said softly, "We will have dinner earlier in the evening." This sentence is equivalent to I was talking to Hua Xiwan, let's talk privately about something.
There were some high-ranking eunuchs and female officials standing in the hall. Hua Xiwan put her hand lightly on Yan Jinqiu's palm and smiled: "Okay." Although she knew that the emperor's intentions were a little bad, but observing Yan Jinqiu's expression, it seemed that I was happy to see this happen, so I stopped thinking about it, and just waited for the people from the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree.
The two did not wait long when they saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites brought a group of people, and then read two long imperial decrees, but in summary, they were Yan Jinqiu's appointment letter as a prince and Hua Xiwan's appointment letter as a princess. , Along with the appointment book, there is also the golden seal and golden book. As for the clothing, it has not been made in time, so I owe it first. There is also the expansion of the prince's palace. Anyway, this used to be the prince's palace. Open it all up, and then let the people from the Ministry of Works renovate it again. The furnishings in the courtyard that can represent the identity of the prince are all given to show the mighty grace of the emperor.
After listening for a long time, I finally finished listening to the reward list. After the couple sent away the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they sat in the courtyard and watched boxes of things being carried in. The two of them continued to have two cups of tea in the middle.
Every time the name of an item is read, someone will open the box and let the two take a look. At the end, Hua Xiwan had already moved her eyes away. It wasn't because she was too aloof. In fact, she finally understood what "gold is dazzling, but silver is stupid". If she continued to look, her eyes would be blinded.
"Tired?" When Yan Jinqiu saw Hua Xiwan like this, he made a few glances at the servants beside him, and then said, "Since we are tired, let's go to the room to rest, and the servants will watch over here."
Hua Xiwan nodded and supported the heavy golden crown weakly. Now, she is also a noble person who regards money as dung.
Back in the house, Hua Xiwan was first served by the maids and changed into the princess princess dress, and after putting on a beautiful and relaxed skirt, she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her neck and said, "Press it again, I will Definitely an inch shorter."
"Is it so powerful?" Yan Jinqiu reached out and pinched the back of her neck, "Is it better now?"
"The craftsmanship is a little worse than that of my girls," Hua Xiwan gave him a sideways glance with a smile, "Forget it, I dare not let the lord do this kind of thing, let them do it."
Yan Jinqiu smiled and retracted his hand, and then said, "There may be many people who have come to Hexi in our mansion recently, but it will take you a few days to work hard."
Seeing this, Hongying walked behind Hua Xiwan and pressed her gently.
"With the help of the steward below, it won't be too hard," Hua Xiwan sat lazily against the chair and said slowly, "Your Majesty Longen, it is a great joy, even if you are tired, you are happy."
"That's true," Yan Jinqiu glanced at the servants standing in the room, "it's better to sleep for a while now, you used to have a lunch break at this time."
"Okay," Hua Xiwan waved the servants in the room to step back, and after the two lay down together on the bed, Yan Jinqiu said, "I heard that yesterday the emperor attacked Prince Shengjun, and asked Prince Shengjun to return to the mansion to think about it. three days."
Hua Xiwan felt that she was a little lacking in IQ in matters related to the court, so after hearing this, she thought for a while before saying, "The emperor scolded the King of Shengjun yesterday, and today he promoted you as a prince. I don't know why?" This is like a diligent child who is criticized by his parents for doing something wrong, and a lazy child who is rewarded for doing nothing because he did nothing
"It's not that simple," Yan Jinqiu stretched out his hand and took her into his arms. "King Shengjun is now a powerful man, and some officials respect him very much. Under such circumstances, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious. He deliberately beat him up. One, pull the other, just to make Yan Boyi think that I am in the middle of it and let us fight each other. Yan Boyi has the support of some officials, and I have a princely title that Yan Boyi can't match. No matter who has the upper hand, the emperor will It's all losers."
Such an explanation seems to have the same meaning. Hua Xiwan yawned and did not continue to ask. There are some things she doesn't want to know, it's better not to know.
The room gradually became quiet. After an unknown period of time, Yan Jinqiu got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly with the quilt. The corner of his mouth had no time to let go of the smile.
His complexion changed slightly, he looked back at the person on the bed, and after a while, he left the room.
When Hongying and the others who were waiting outside saw the prince coming out, they buried their heads and took a step back, and then silently gave a Wanfu ceremony.
"Serve the princess carefully, this king goes to the study, and when the princess wakes up, let someone inform this king." Yan Jinqiu knew that the maids around Hua Xiwan were loyal people, so he didn't say much.
"Yes, this slave has written it down." When Hongying raised her head again, she was silently relieved to see that the prince had left. Obviously, the prince is also a gentle person on weekdays, but she is in awe of the prince, as if she will lose her life if she is not careful.
"Sister Hongying, Fang Caimutong's housekeeper sent these things to us, do we need to report to the princess?" Cheng Qiu came in with a few old ladies holding sandalwood boxes, and saw the foreheads of the old ladies were sweating. The look, obviously these things are not light.
"Put these things into the warehouse first, and then report to the princess when she wakes up," Hongying opened all the boxes and glanced at them. Seeing that they were nothing but jewelry, she took them personally and put them into Huaxi. In Wan's private library, these are the things that the left and right princesses lack most.
"What are you talking about, Duke Xian has been named a prince?" Hua Yiliu looked at her personal maid, and sat for a while before saying, "Last night, the uncle rested in the side yard again?"
She saw that although the maid didn't speak, her face changed, and she knew where Zhou Yunheng went last night. Before she could say anything else, she saw her mother-in-law came in with her sister-in-law, so she had to get up and lead the two in. .
"Daughter-in-law, you and I will go to Prince Xian's mansion to congratulate you in three days. Princess Xian and you are cousins. It is unreasonable that you, as a sister, should not go to such a happy event," Mrs. Zhou took Hua Yiliu. He took a sip of the tea he brought, and talked to Hua Yiliu for a while, before he said with a light smile, "I've been sent away by those dishonest people in Yunheng's yard, and I'm still looking forward to hug you and follow me. What about the eldest grandson of Yun Heng and the other two?"
Hua Yiliu squeezed a smile on her face: "They are all women who serve their husbands, and it's okay for a husband to pity him on weekdays." Her expectations when she got married have already been polished off these days, and it doesn't matter to Zhou Yunheng. I miss it. Now my mother-in-law talks so much, but it's because Princess Hua Xiwan is her cousin, otherwise why bother.
When Mrs. Zhou's filial piety first came out, Zhou Yunheng was able to make the belly of the people around her big, and there was news that when she got married, the people in the yard were not cleaned up, but now it has become because of Hua Xiwan. The princess has driven all these people away, so what is she
"Even so, if a man is addicted to beauty, how can he make achievements?" Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "You are a virtuous person. With you here, I have nothing to worry about."
Hua Yiliu said a few more polite words before thanking Mrs. Zhou with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.
After the mother-in-law and sister-in-law left, Hua Yiliu thought of Hua Xiwan surrounded by maids, of the graceful King Xian, and of Zhou Yunheng, who had been fascinated all day, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying silently.
On the second day after Yan Jinqiu became the prince, there were indeed many He Yi, and Hua Xiwan, the female relatives who came to congratulate, only met some prominent royal families and noble families. It's just a matter of walking, Princess Xian is lucky to see them, and it's normal not to see them.
The people from the Marquis of Yi'an definitely wanted to meet. On the second day after the imperial decree came down, Hua Xiwan met with the people from her parents' family, and even gave some instructions, but because there were too many people to meet, she didn't. Talk too much in private.
On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of people who came to congratulate finally decreased, and Hua Xiwan also breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, when she woke up in the morning and just finished her breakfast, she heard a report from the servants, and Zhou Shilang's mansion came forward. congratulate.
Hua Xiwan sighed, originally she didn't want to see the Zhou family, but thinking that Hua Yiliu was married to this family, she had to let the servants entertain the guests first, and she went over later.
Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her servant invited her in. She glanced at her daughter and Hua Yiliu who were following behind her, and adjusted her clothes: "Wait in front of the princess, don't lose your demeanor."
"Daughter wrote it down," Zhou Jinxi replied in a low voice. She knew that her mother had joined the line of Prince Xian's mansion in order to make Princess Xian feel good about her and strive to show her face more on important occasions in the future.
"Mrs. Zhou, Grandma Zhou, Miss Zhou, please sit down for a while, the princess will come later," Cheng Qiu was the one who received the three. After she asked the maid to serve tea to the three, she stood aside.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at the furnishings in the palace, and saw that the maid who greeted them was dressed better than ordinary maids, and her daughter-in-law didn't know her, so she guessed that this was the maid of the palace, not Hua Xiwan's dowry.
She was fortunate to have been to Ning Wang's mansion as a guest. Although Ning's mansion was full of flowers, the servants looked at it as if there were rules in Xian's mansion.
It can be seen that Princess Xian is a very capable woman, she has to be more careful and polite.
