Yan Shi and Mr. Zhang discussed the matters for tomorrow, and Eunuch Lian suddenly said: "I don't know what kind of tea is this, my lord? It doesn't look like the tribute tea in the palace? It tastes good, not bad."
Yan Shi smiled and said: "The tribute tea from previous years has already been drunk, but this year's tribute tea has not yet come down. This tea is just rough tea from outside. I hope my father-in-law will not dislike it."
"My lord, what are you talking about?" Eunuch Lian took another sip of tea and put the teacup on the table, "This servant just thinks the tea tastes good, so I just asked casually."
"If Eunuch likes it, I will give some to Eunuch." Then, he ordered his servants to prepare the tea, including Mr. Zhang's.
The tea leaves were brought out very quickly, even though Eunuch Lian said he didn't want them, the movements in his hands didn't mean not at all. On the other hand, Mr. Zhang really didn't want it, and Yan Shi stuffed the wrapped tea leaves into his hands.
In a flash of time, it was time to hold the lanterns. Yan Shi strolled around the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, watching the bright moon in the sky.
The servants in the mansion are busy preparing for his big wedding tomorrow, but this seems to have nothing to do with him, the real protagonist.
After tomorrow, what changes will take place in this palace
No, nothing will change. The entire palace will still look like this, even if there are more than one person, nothing can be done.
Just like what he said to Jiang Jingyue during the day, his banquet is not at the discretion of others.
He knew more or less about the children of Duke Kangle. Duke Kangle had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Hua Ling, who will be married tomorrow, has just turned eighteen this year. The second son, Hua Xu, is sixteen years old, and the third son, Hua Wei, is only eight years old. Miss Hua Luyao is fourteen years old.
The eldest daughter, Hua Luyao, and the young third son, Hua Wei, have nothing to say, so they just talk about the eldest son, Hua Ling, and the second son, Hua Xu. These two people are typical noble children, the two brothers are not too young, and ordinary noble children can make a difference at this age, it should not be a problem to be a scholar or something. If you really can't pass the exam, you will rely on your family's power to get a small official somewhere to hone your skills. No matter how bad it is, you should make friends with the Quartet to lay a solid foundation for your future career.
But the two brothers seem to have no ambitions, Hua Xu is better and will go out for a while, but Hua Ling is like the lady in the boudoir, the door does not go out of the door, it seems that there is no one except the people in the house met him.
By the way, Yang Shi, the head of the current Duke of Kangle's mansion, is the successor of Duke of Kangle, and the flower Ling did not come from her womb.
As for Yang's treatment of Hua Ling, I can't say it's good, but I can't say it's bad either. After all, where is his status as the eldest son, he will have to inherit the title of Duke of Kangle in the future. If Yang and his son want to live a more comfortable life in the future, they can't go too far now.
Yan Shi had known these things for a long time, Duke Kangle was King Zhao's confidant, and the situation in his mansion had been specially dispatched by Yan Shi before he left the palace to build the mansion. For this reason, he followed Hua Ling and Hua Xu for nearly half a year, but found nothing.
Yan Shi rubbed his chin. He always felt that the sons of the Hua family were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, but they had been staring at them for half a year. If their true colors were not like this, then it must be said that the members of the Hua family were unfathomable. It's a little scary.
But no matter what, he would never touch anyone from the Hua family, so leave this Nuanyang Pavilion to the future princess to live alone!
It was not yet dawn, and the banquet had already been washed and washed. When the prince gets married, he should go to visit the emperor and queen. After Yan Shi came out of the palace, it was getting late.
He followed the people from the Ministry of Rites to rush to Kangle State Duke's Mansion, and when he got there, he didn't miss the time.
Yan Shi and the people who greeted relatives have entered from the gate of the mansion, passed through the pavilions and pavilions, and came to the gate of the main hall. Yan Shi stood at the closed gate and yelled: "Yan Shi will welcome the relatives!"
According to the rules, Duke Kangle and his wife had to sit in the main hall to accept their son's farewell. The people inside will respond after hearing Yan Shi's shout, and then open the door to let Hua Ling come out.
But after Yan Yan shouted, there was no response from inside.
Jiang Qingyue frowned and looked at Yan Shi. Could it be that the Duke of Kangle made him down? How dare he do this in front of all officials
At this time, there was a lot of noise inside, and it seemed that there was a faint cry.
Yan Shi also looked at Jiang Qingyue suspiciously, is this the eldest son who doesn't want to marry me? Still putting on a show
Yan Shi raised her voice again and shouted loudly: "Yan Shi will welcome the relatives!"
All the movement inside disappeared immediately, and after a few breaths, the cry came faintly again, and then footsteps were heard coming towards the door, and the back door opened.
"My lord, please." After the man opened the door, he bowed and stood aside.
Yan Yan took a step and walked inside, but saw a bunch of people standing in a mess in the main hall, Duke Hua Qiancheng of Kangle Kingdom and his wife Yang Shizheng were sitting on the main seat with an anxious expression on their faces, and there was a kneeling man in front of them. A person wearing a wedding dress and covering his head.
Needless to say, this person is the eldest son that Yan Shi is going to marry today, and the crying just heard came from this person's mouth.
"What happened?" Yan Shi walked behind Hua Ling in the blink of an eye.
When Hua Qiancheng saw someone coming in, he had an ugly expression on his face, as if he had been holding back for a long time and wanted to show respect: "My lord, my lord."
He leaned forward and was about to stand up from the chair, Yan Shi took a step forward and said: "Master Yuezhang, please sit down quickly."
"Mother... I want my mother..." A crying voice came from below, Yan Shi looked down, and saw his princess's back twitching, and her hijab moved, as if she was wiping tears.
Yan Shi frowned slightly, although Hua Ling was the bride, but because of a man, he didn't have to wear a red hijab, but he...
Right now is not the time to explore this, Yan Shi heard that he was crying, so she looked at Hua Qiancheng: "This is..."
"Mother... They lost my mother's tablet." Hua Ling said sobbingly, the voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people present to hear clearly.
There were many officials from the Ministry of Rites and attendants from the palace who followed the banquet. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help discussing a few words in a low voice.
Even though she is the Yang family who is the head mistress of Duke Kang's mansion, Hualing's biological mother is her original spouse. According to the rules, when the second wife enters the door, one must first worship the tablet of the original spouse and call the original spouse "sister". During festivals and festivals, one must sincerely worship, but now Duke Kangle has lost his original tablet, and it has been exposed in front of so many people. This is not just as simple as embarrassing.
Yan Shi did not expect that Yan Shi would say this in full view. He is the eldest son of the Kangle Palace, and the Kangle Palace and him are both prosperous and hurt. No matter how much dissatisfaction he has in his heart, It should not be done.
Doing so would be harmful to Duke Kang's government, and it would be of no benefit to himself. Not to mention what other people would think, but the people in Duke Kang's mansion would definitely hate him because of this incident. So what if he is the eldest son? Now that he is married, how the sky in this mansion changes is out of his control. So why did he say that just now? What is his purpose? Yan Shi thinks that there is no one in this world who is so stupid as to betray himself, the corners of his mouth tick up in a subtle way, this Hua Ling is a bit interesting.
Seeing that the Kangle Mansion is about to become a laughing stock in the eyes of others, Mrs. Yang also looked quite anxious: "Yesterday, I ordered someone to invite out my sister's memorial tablet early, why did it disappear! Come on!" , go find it, you must find it!"
"Mother... my son is getting married today, but I can't say goodbye to you!" Hua Ling cried louder and louder, Xu cried hard, and hiccupped, "How can my son marry with peace of mind? Get out! Mother..."
"Hurry up, send someone to look for it." Hua Qiancheng was so anxious that he was sweating, and pushed the servant next to him, "You also look for it!"
Yan Yan looked at the man kneeling in front of him, thinking in his heart, should he say something to comfort him, with so many people watching here, he still has to save face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of hurried running from outside, and a servant girl hurried in with a tablet in both hands: "I found... found... card... tablet... found..." Because he was so excited, even the master I didn't even call them by title, but no one cares about these now.
After hastily completing the farewell ceremony to parents, I can finally leave. Yan Shi stretched out a hand towards Hua Ling, Hua Ling hesitated for a moment, but still put his hand on that hand.
Yan Shi tried hard to pull him up from the ground, but Hua Ling couldn't get up because she had been kneeling for a long time. Yan Shi said that he was offended, then stretched out his hands and hugged him from the ground.
Hua Ling exclaimed, but didn't struggle, and hurriedly put her hands on Yan Shi's neck, no one knew that the face under the hijab had already burst into laughter.
The ceremonial officer sang and drank after him, Yan Shi kept carrying Hua Ling out of the mansion and put her into the sedan chair.
The next thing went much smoother. After the cumbersome ceremony was completed and the heaven and earth were worshiped, Hua Ling waited from the Nuanyang Pavilion, and the banquet went to entertain the guests.
Yan Shi's eyes swept away, and his eyes narrowed slightly. None of his "good" younger brothers came.
The prince's status in front of the emperor was like a mirror in the minds of the adults, and not long after the banquet, more than half of them resigned.
Those who did not leave were divided into two types. The first type was upright people like Mr. Zhang, Minister of Rites, and the second type was sent by various parties to monitor him.
All the while the Jade Rabbit was rising to the east, Yan Shi walked into the gate of Nuanyang Pavilion under the attention of some people, and the talents outside were completely dispersed.
Yan Shi sneered as she walked, so what if she watched me enter the bridal chamber? Can you still follow me to consummate the house
