The eldest princess was stunned.
Obviously it was very unexpected.
But her maid Amber couldn't help but ask, "Since you saw it, why didn't you pick it up?"
"How can you just take a woman's things? It's so rude." The young man said seriously.
Seeing his serious look, the eldest princess just felt funny.
She held the handkerchief and gently covered her lips, but still expressed her gratitude first.
"Thank you for showing me the way, may I know your name?"
The young man bowed and said, "I am the eldest son of the Grand Secretary of Zhangtian Pavilion, Zhou Jinyao. You don't have to thank me, young lady. Go find something quickly. I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, he left with the servant.
The eldest princess looked at the figure's back for a few more seconds before taking her maid to find the earrings.
"There really are such strange people in this world. This is the first time I've met them." Amber said speechlessly.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Isn't she cute? Her personality is also very pure."
On the other end, the servant couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, you have already introduced yourself, why don't you ask where the girl comes from?"
"What nonsense." Zhou Jinyao reached out and knocked the boy's head, saying seriously, "To casually ask about a girl's maiden name, isn't that the behavior of a playboy?"
The servant touched his forehead and thought that only his own son was so dull.
But the servant himself was the stupid one. He didn't notice that when his master mustered up the courage to talk to the girl just now, the tips of his ears turned red.
In short, this chance meeting made the two of them feel destined to be together.
I stayed in Lingxi Garden for a month.
He returned to the palace two days before New Year's Eve.
Ye Jun meant to move back to Zhaochun Palace. After all, the two of them had already agreed that Fengqi Palace, where Xie had originally lived, would be demolished and converted into four small courtyards, and she would continue to live in the old place.
Actually, Zhaochun Palace is closer to Jiuchen Palace than Fengqi Palace.
However, Ning Chen did not agree and still kept her by his side, settling down in Jiuchen Palace.
Of course, this is also because the Zhaochun Palace is being prepared in full swing. If we knew it in advance, there would be no surprise.
As soon as the couple returned to the palace, they were met with an extremely resentful look from the Fourth Prince.
During this period when his parents were away, he had to play both the role of father and mother to take care of his two younger brothers. As the crown prince, he also had to handle the government affairs that his father threw at him in the name of experience. He was exhausted.
The prince feels wronged, but he is just a child.
But he couldn't feel wronged. Ning Chen felt that his son was so smart and outstanding, he should let his son experience more so that he could enjoy a peaceful life earlier.
The New Year’s Eve palace banquet should be the most harmonious palace banquet since Ye Jun entered the palace.
The concubines were harmonious, and the princes and princesses were also harmonious.
It was proposed by Ye Jun to promote Concubine Huide to Concubine Huishu, Concubine Qi to Concubine De, and all the remaining concubines to be promoted one level.
In this way, she can also be considered as Fukuzawa's harem.
Starting from the first day of the new year, people have to kneel in the Taimiao.
Even though Ning Chen felt distressed, he had to follow this rule, so he ordered people to sew thick cotton on the futon in Ye Yun's cabinet and put two more charcoal basins there so that she would not get cold at all.
Logically, Ye Jun still has to meet with the ladies of honor.
However, Ning Chen blocked their request and told the public that the queen was not well enough to meet guests, and only allowed the women of the Ye family to meet.
In fact, even if Ning Chen didn't say this, the ladies wouldn't dare to come here casually.
After all, which dynasty’s queen lived in Jiuchen Palace? It’s a place that anyone can come to!
When the family met, mother Chu couldn't help crying again.
Others only saw Ye Jun's glory and favor, but as a mother, Chu saw the hardships her daughter had gone through and how she had nearly lost her life many times. How could this be a blessing
Ye Jun and her sister-in-law Yin persuaded Chu to stop crying.
"Mother, from now on I will be the Empress, and it will be more convenient for you to come to the palace to talk. You don't need anyone's permission. If I miss you, I will send a carriage to pick you up. It's okay even if you stay in the palace for a few days."
Chu nodded, eyes full of heartache.
"I always saw you become thinner. I heard that the prince fell off his horse, your brother broke his waist, and you were poisoned. I couldn't sleep every night. Even if I fell asleep, I had nightmares. Now that I see you, I finally feel relieved."
"You like spicy food, but your spleen and stomach are not in good condition now. You must not be willful again. If you don't take good care of your body, you will suffer a lot in old age. The emperor loves you, so you must be careful and cautious. Don't get confused. The palace is different from other places. There are too many variables!"
This is your family. No matter how well you live, they are always worried, afraid that you will suffer.
Ye Jun was touched and leaned in her mother's arms for a while.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Yin told a funny story.
The eldest prince of the Zasak, Bilge, wrote three or four letters to Ye Shuran in the past few months, and also sent many things from the grassland, such as dzi beads, turquoise, eagle feathers, wolf teeth, etc., and even a small scimitar he made by himself.
"With such intentions, could it be that he really likes Ran'er?" Ye Jun was surprised.
I had heard about it from the Fourth Prince and had investigated it, but I thought it was just a joke. I didn't expect this prince to take it so seriously.
Yin smiled and said, "Who knows? Ran'er is still young, and it will take another three or four years for her to get married. If the boy is really interested, he can wait."
"When my sister-in-law mentioned that, I remembered Nabilge. He was quite handsome, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, deep eyes and brows, and a fang when he smiled. He was very cute." Ye Jun chatted.
In fact, she wanted to say "cool and handsome", but was afraid that her mother and sister-in-law wouldn't understand, so she praised "cute" instead.
But Chu didn't respond.
Elderly people are always reluctant to let their children marry far away. Zasak is really too far away.
Of course, as Yin said, there is still a long way to go and nothing can be known.
In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year was over in the snow.
Auspicious snow means a good harvest. This year's snow was excellent, neither too big nor too small, and it continued intermittently until early February. It seemed as if the snow knew that from this year on, days would be different.
When the spring breeze blew in February, the palace became lively.
Ye Yun's enthronement ceremony was scheduled for March 24th. Because Ning Chen wanted to hold it with the ceremony for his first wife, it could also be considered the wedding of the emperor and empress.
This was a major event for the whole country. Starting from mid-February, red wedding stickers were hung everywhere in the palace.
Because the bride could not be picked up from outside the palace, this part was skipped and the ceremony started directly from the Guanju Palace, which was specially used for the wedding of the emperor and empress.
At that time, Ye Jun would move in one day in advance, and go from Guanju Palace to Jinluan Palace to receive the title. After the title was completed, she would return to Guanju Palace, where Ning Chen would personally bring the ceremonial guard to pick her up to live in Zhaochun Palace.
Listening to the ceremonial officer explaining the process to him bit by bit, Ye Jun, who had remained calm in the face of many difficulties, also became a little nervous.
She originally thought that she would never have the chance to wear the phoenix coronet and bridal robe in this lifetime. Now that she was told that her wedding would be in less than a month, she felt a little reluctant.
It’s a belated wedding, after all, the children are so big now.
But Ning Chen was sincere and attentive. No matter how late it was or what others said, he just wanted to give her a complete ceremony.
