Chapter 19 The Princess' Pomp

After coming out of Fengyi Palace and returning to Fengyang Palace, I saw a nun standing outside the palace gate waiting in the distance. I don’t know how long she had been here.
Seeing Yan Li, grandma quickly stepped forward and saluted: "My cousin——"
Qinglian reminded: "Miss Yan has been named a princess by the emperor, please don't call her by the wrong title."
Yan Li recognized that this nanny was from outside the palace, and she was also Nanny Ji who was next to Mrs. Jiang's family. Her tone was indifferent: "What's the matter?"
Mother Ji lowered her head: "The old lady asked you to go home today."
The emperor had previously promised to let her rest in the palace until the end of the month and then go home. Today happened to be the end of the month. It was the last day of the month. The old lady of the Jiang family was afraid that she would regret it, so she couldn't wait to send someone to pick her up?
Yan Li said calmly, her eyes filled with coldness: "Okay, prepare the carriage."
After saying this, she turned and walked into Fengyang Palace and asked Nanny Ji to wait outside: "I want to change clothes, Qinglian, please send someone to tell Eunuch Xiao that I will go home today.
"
"Yes." Qinglian quickly ordered several palace maids to arrange matters for leaving the palace.
Mother Ji opened her mouth to say something, but when she thought of Yan Li's current status, her mouth moved, but she didn't say anything, she just shut up and stood outside the palace gate.
I originally thought that Yan Li was going home after dressing up to change into gorgeous clothes. Unexpectedly, when she went in and came out, she just changed into a light lake green dress, a simple style, and there was only one hairpin in her hair.
There are no simple hairpins or steps.
There was a bit of disdain in Nanny Ji's eyes, she thought she was changing into fancy clothes, but it turned out it was just for show.
However, her expression soon changed.
After hearing Xiao Changhai's report, Emperor Zhaocheng nodded slightly: "Since the Jiang family has sent someone to pick him up, let's go back today."
Xiao Changhai listened respectfully to the order.
"Arrange a more grand ceremony for Yan Li. He will be escorted by Nanny An personally, and he will be escorted by four smart eunuchs, eight maids, and fifty royal guards."
Xiao Changhai bowed: "I will make arrangements right now."
So when the majestic guard of honor came to Fengyang Palace, Nanny An respectfully saluted Yan Li and invited her to sit on the sedan chair. Nanny Ji's face changed several times, and she stood aside with her head lowered, not daring to raise her head.
"Why is Her Majesty the Princess dressed so plainly today?" Aunt An looked at Qinglian and asked with a frown, "After the Princess got the title, no one sent her clothes or jewelry?"
Qinglian said: "The inner court sent me several sets of clothes and accessories, but Her Royal Highness the Princess said those clothes were too cumbersome."
"Mother An, this is my idea and has nothing to do with Qinglian." Yan Li said in a cold tone, "I don't like to dress too gorgeously."
"Yes." Nanny An lowered her head and responded first, then smiled and said: "But the princess' status is different now from before. She still has to have the proper pomp, otherwise she will be looked down upon by some people who only respect Luo Shan."
Mother Ji's face turned red, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to speak.
The sedan was lifted up and walked step by step outside the palace gate. The eunuchs and palace maids followed behind them with lowered eyebrows and eyes. When they arrived outside the palace, they changed to a carriage. Fifty imperial guardsmen were ordered to escort them. Twelve people were in front of them to clear the way, and there were about twenty people.
For protection, eighteen people were behind.
It can be said that the formation is vast and majestic.
Yan Li was no stranger to such battles, and there was no strange expression on his face. He sat quietly in the carriage the whole time, closing his eyes and meditating.
Arriving in front of the Taifu's Mansion, a high-pitched singing voice sounded from afar: "Princess Nanyang has arrived!"
The Jiang family had not made enough preparations at first. Wasn't it just Yan Li who was returning home? It was not worth raising an army. However, the announcement caused the Jiang family to be in chaos. Everyone under the master ran out in unison, and some people even lost their shoes in the process.
.
When the three Jiang brothers walked to the front yard and saw Yan Li being helped out of the luxurious carriage, their faces all sank.
Luo Shi looked at the battle in front of him and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Damn little bitch, she actually knows how to put on airs. The emperor made her a princess. Does she really think she is a princess?
"According to the palace rules and etiquette, everyone from the master to the servants of the Jiang family must kneel down to greet the princess." Aunt An stood beside Yan Li, looking at the Jiang family with the majesty of her years-long training of beautiful women, "
The Jiang family is the family of the Grand Tutor, so they don’t even understand these rules, right?"
Luo Shi's expression froze, and then he raised his chin: "Mommy, I don't know, the people present are all elders Yan Li——"
Aunt An interrupted her: "The royal family has always emphasized the importance of kings and ministers before children. After all, Mrs. Jiang comes from a noble family. Do you still need someone to teach you this?"
Luo Shi's expression changed, "I...I didn't mean that..."
Jiang Tingyi, the grandson of Jiang's family, looked at Yan Li coldly: "Yan Li, do you want grandpa to kneel down for you?"
Yan Li's eyes were slightly cold: "This is the rule of the royal family. I have the final say?"
Jiang Tingshi, the second grandson of the Jiang family, complained in disappointment: "My grandfather has loved and protected you all these years. You don't even understand the rules of respecting your elders. You are simply... a wolf-hearted person!"
Jiang Tingyan's eyes were full of disgust: "Compared to the well-educated Jingyue, you are really far behind!"
Jiang Tingshi sneered: "If Jingyue comes back today, even if she tries her best to offend the emperor, she will never let her grandfather and her parents kneel to her."
"The Jiang family is the home of the Taifu, but the Taifu has raised his own children and grandchildren in such a way that he thinks that offending the royal family is worthy of praise?" Aunt An's eyes were sharp and her tone was deep and angry, "Princess Nanyang is not wrong. The rules are not set by the princess.
Today, the Jiang family can only talk about elders and younger ones.
Honor and inferiority, regardless of the superiority and inferiority of ministers, Princess Nanyang did not pursue it because she was kind and generous, but the old slave came out of the palace under the emperor's will. After returning to the palace, he will report these things to the emperor one by one. When the time comes, the emperor
No matter how you look at it, please let the Jiang family take care of it themselves."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three grandsons of the Jiang family changed, and they stared at Yan Li fiercely. Yan Li must have deliberately discussed this with Grandma An, just to give them a blow.
If she was really kind-hearted, she should have agreed with Grandma An in advance that she would get out of the car quietly and go home when she arrived at the door of the house, instead of having to be shouted at from a distance?
Wasn't this just a deliberate attempt to make the Jiang family come out and kneel down to greet her?
"Kneel down!" Taifu Jiang turned to look at Jiang Tingyi and the others, and scolded him coldly, "Have you read all the sage's books for many years into a dog's belly?"
"grandfather!"
"I'll make you kneel down!"
Jiang Tingyi, Jiang Tingshi, Jiang Tingyan gritted his teeth and knelt down unwillingly. He was extremely disgusted with Yan Li and secretly cursed the Jiang family for raising a white-eyed wolf.
Jiang Yunming looked at Yan Li with cold eyes: "Yan Li, you——"
"Kneel down too!" Taifu Jiang turned to look at his son and daughter-in-law Luo Shi, his voice was rich and majestic and could not be refused, "Princess Nanyang is here, you don't understand any rules?"
"Father!" Jiang Yunming couldn't believe it, "I am her uncle!"
Taifu Jiang said coldly: "She is a princess."
Jiang Yunming clenched his hands and knelt down bitterly. Luo Shi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He gritted his teeth and cursed the little bitch over and over in his heart, but he could only kneel down.
Taifu Jiang lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down when Grandma An had already spoken: "Master Taifu is the emperor's teacher, and the princess should respect you. The emperor has decreed that Master Taifu and the old lady will not have to kneel down."
Taifu Jiang stopped his movements and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
"The old lady is here!"
Yan Li looked up and saw an old lady with fair complexion and delicate eyebrows walking out, surrounded by several nuns.
