Time passed quickly, and as soon as spring began, the palace began to get busy.
This time it is for Princess Anping to marry.
Anping is Wanxian's title, it looks ordinary, but it has a meaning. Since Zong Cong ascended the throne, his reign title was Jianping, a title that not only included the reign title of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also the An Nan Kingdom's An character, one can imagine His Majesty's importance.
Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Etiquette have already prepared everything that should be prepared, but His Majesty and the Queen Mother can't stop adding dowry to Princess Anping again and again. Now that the eve of Princess Anping's wedding is approaching, the concubines naturally have to show something.
In Kunning Palace, Jingren Palace, and Chengqian Palace, all the concubines, big and small, gave makeup. This time, it was not a box, but a few boxes. The amount of money is amazing.
After all, Princess Anping is going to marry. In many people's minds, marrying is not good. Life must be worse than living in the palace. No one will be stingy at this time.
Wanrong thought about it, gave her whip to Wanxian, and picked up a box of her jewelry.
Wanxian has always liked her red whip, which is also Wanrong's heart, but this time the eldest sister is leaving, and I don't know if I can meet again in the future, so Wanrong gave up her most beloved thing .
Wanchan, Wanxian, and Wanxian also have their own expressions, especially Wanchan and Wanxian, the gifts are very heavy, even when Concubine Hu Shu added makeup to Wanxian before, the gifts are also very heavy, and they are almost catching up with the scene. It's Rengong.
"Sister, I..."
Wan Xian stroked Wan Pei's forehead hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, since it's my sister's wish, I'll accept it all, and I won't be polite to you."
"Sister..."
Wan Yu's eyes were full of guilt. Ever since the elder sister was going to get married, she had been deeply guilty of self-blame. She always felt that it was because of her own selfishness that the elder sister fell into such a situation.
These days, she also avoids Wan Xian, so why can't these Wan Xian see it? It's just right and wrong, everyone has their own standpoint, and everyone will do wrong things. It's meaningless to talk about these things now.
"Okay, getting married is a good thing, don't be sad, you are all grown up, you may get married soon, I will definitely not be there by then, but I hope you can all marry a good man, and the future will be smooth and smooth. "
Wanxi began to cry, although Wanchan and Wanyu did not cry out, there were tears in their eyes.
At this time, the maid came to report, and several princes came to add makeup to the eldest princess.
Wan Xian said, "Okay, stop crying now, lest Zong Qian and the others see it and make fun of you sisters."
Until the moon rose to the top of the tree, the people in Wanxian's yard dispersed, and the maid was about to close the door, but Wanshu came unexpectedly.
In the past two years, Wan Shu has become more and more perverted. She used to be pretty, but now she has a cold face when she sees everyone, and she doesn't show her face very much in front of people.
"I underestimated you."
After a pause, Wanshu said again, "This is my makeup, I hope you will have a good life in Annan."
She didn't even enter the door, so she turned and left after she finished speaking. Her personal maid hurriedly handed the things in her hand to Wanxian's maid, and followed.
"You too, I hope you are doing well."
Wan Shu's steps paused, and she left without looking back.
It stands to reason that Annan only needs to send envoys to welcome the bride, Zhao Ying does not need to come in person.
But he came in person.
The whole welcoming ceremony was very grand, and the sending off team in Dazhou was even bigger.
Headed by the king of Lu, there were more than a dozen ministers of civil and military affairs, because this time in addition to seeing off their relatives, they also had to discuss mining ceremonies in the local area when they arrived in Annan. There were nearly 2,000 soldiers escorting the escorting team.
Zong Cong personally led all the civil and military officials, as well as all the relatives of the emperor and concubines in the harem, to watch the procession leave at Yongding Gate.
Pan'er stood with the children, seeing Wanrong's look of disappointment, and gently patted her on the shoulder.
Zong Yue and Zong Qian are also similar, Wanxian is the oldest of them, although she is not the eldest sister like a mother, but she grew up together since childhood, regardless of the previous positions of the palaces and their respective mothers and concubines, in fact Externally, they are all one.
Zong Yue thought that Da Zhou is not strong enough now, maybe when Da Zhou becomes strong enough one day, similar things will not happen again.
But Zong Qian thought the same as him, but in a completely different direction. He thought that if Da Zhou's army was strong enough to wipe out Myanmar, maybe Da Zhou wouldn't have to think about checking and balancing, and such a thing would not happen. up.
At the same time, Concubine Xu Xian was also very uneasy, and she fell on the shoulder of the maid behind her, crying uncontrollably.
But the current situation is understandable.
Concubine Xu Xian took Jinping's hand and said, "She didn't even look back at me, this child is blaming me."
What Jinping could say, he could only pat Empress's hand reassuringly.
"Empress, you think too much, the princess is your biological daughter after all."
Wanxian's departure does not seem to have changed the Forbidden City, but whether it has changed or not can only be seen by watching a few children.
Zong Yue studied harder and harder. If there was anything he didn't understand, he used to just settle his head on his own. Now he asks his husband to ask his father for advice, and Zong Qian practiced martial arts more seriously. He found several honorable ministers who had served as generals for many years as his teachers to teach him the art of war.
Wanrong became more and more quiet.
The girl who used to be joking and doing everything in a hurry seems to have matured all of a sudden, becoming more and more like a princess.
As for the other princesses, they walked around each other much more frequently than before, and they seemed to realize that when they were sisters, they would inevitably stumble and bicker.
Sunrise and sunset, spring and autumn, the passage of time seems to have no effect on the Forbidden City, it is magnificent day after day, full of royal majesty.
But the people inside are getting old and growing up day by day.
Many things happened in the past two years. After Baizhi left the palace, Cattail and Qingdai also got married one after another. The husbands were all guards in the palace, and they were all officials. The two have been suffering since they were young, and now they can sit on the official wife and enjoy the blessings.
Aunt Qing finally became pregnant.
After she got married to Imperial Physician Dong, she never thought about having a child, who knew that Lao Mu was pregnant with a pearl. Ever since she was pregnant, Imperial Physician Dong took leave from the imperial hospital, and went home to wait on her carefully. After she was conceived in October, she gave birth to a big fat boy, and when she washed for three full months, she was rewarded with all the dishes.
Only Bai Shu remained by Pan'er's side, and Pan'er also asked her if she wanted to marry, but she still had the same attitude as before, Pan'er could not force her, he could only keep her.
Pan'er has added a few more court ladies, all of whom are of the cursive generation. This was a joke from Cattail back then. It is said that she and Qingdai Baishu are both descendants of cursive characters, and their names are both grass, so most of the later court ladies were named after this.
The second year after Wanxian got married, Wanchan also got married. It was supposed to be Wanshu's turn, but the border was not peaceful at that time, and Song Ming never came back.
Unexpectedly, this delay has delayed the three-year period, and now Wanshu is eighteen, Pan'er can also see that Empress Chen is in a hurry, but it's useless to be in a hurry, the imperial edict has been issued. Besides, after Song Ming went to the border, because of his outstanding performance, he also mixed up with Fu Qing as a guerrilla general.
Of course, there must be an intention to promote the prospective son-in-law, let alone, so this marriage must not be regretted, and can only be delayed.
By the way, Su Hai has also been promoted to the chief soldier, and he is the youngest chief soldier in the nine border towns.
But now no one criticizes anything, after all, the status of the imperial concubine is there, and Su Hai's own strength is beyond doubt. Just look at the fact that Datong has fought many battles over the years, and they have won very beautifully. see.
Before you know it, the kids are growing up.
Pan'er usually didn't feel this way, and it was when her sister-in-law Miao Cuixiang came to her to discuss Maodan and Tiedan's marriage that she realized that she was not young anymore.
Oh, by the way, you can't call Maodan Tiedan anymore. Not long after entering Beijing, Su Datian changed the names of his two grandsons, saying that the previous names were too imposing.
So he didn't know who he entrusted, and changed Maodan Tiedan's names to Su Zhaojia and Su Zhaoming respectively.
The meaning is also good, and it sounds elegant, so I called it that way.
In recent years, the Su family has not changed much, except because of the stable status of the imperial concubine, and after Su Hai was promoted to the general army, people outside have paid more attention to the Su family. No, the marriage of the two children will give Miao Cuixiang a headache.
When she was in Yangzhou before, she was always worried about her family being poor, having two stinking boys, and what to do if she couldn't get a wife in the future. Don't worry now, she only let out the wind once outside, and people who came to the door to say that her relatives and trustees said something, almost stepped on the threshold of the Su family.
She and her mother-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, so they hurried into the palace to find the imperial concubine for advice.
In fact, the imperial concubine should make up her mind, this is the tacit understanding of the Su family.
Pan'er flipped through the booklet in her hand, took a sip from the teacup, and continued flipping through it.
She watched carefully and calmly, but Miao Cuixiang looked at her sister-in-law uneasy. Seeing that her skin is fair and soft, her long hair is black and shiny, and she is tied in a simple bun behind her head.
Willow brows and watery eyes, beautiful nose and red lips, obviously wearing very little jewelry on her body, and her clothes are also homely, not even as well-dressed as some wealthy wives outside, but there is a distinctive noble atmosphere.
With such an appearance, such a figure, and such a demeanor, Miao Cuixiang always felt that her sister-in-law was more handsome than when she was in Yangzhou. It seems that God treats her very favorably, she doesn't look old at all, unlike her...
Thinking about it, Miao Cuixiang touched her face, feeling a little sad.
Pan'er was wondering why the sister-in-law didn't speak today, she usually comes to the palace, but she always talks a lot, that is to say, her mother is by her side, so she can calm down a bit.
Looking up, she saw Miao Cuixiang touching her face, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Miao Cuixiang withdrew her hand awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing, I just think that your mother's skin is really good, and I don't know how to take care of it. You can tell me that over the years, I have bought some expensive powder to put on my face, but This face is not as tender as your mother's."
Pan'er couldn't help smiling, her eyes were breathtaking. Anyway, Miao Cuixiang finally understands that there is a reason why His Majesty has been able to spoil His Majesty for so many years.
"Actually, I don't care much. I usually make some ointment from Baizhu, and just wipe it on after washing my face. By the way, sister-in-law, what does family mean? Which two do you like?"
It's time again when the author has something to say, but this time the time is less obvious. Just to summarize the two years after Wanxian got married, as well as what happened in the middle but was not mentioned.
