474. The Twenty-Sixth of the Imperial Capital

Chapter 474

A Xi also listened to how her mother taught the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun to practice boxing and kicking. Then, A Xi understood that she had received the education of Mr. Wu, who was a princess-level princess, since she was a child. It was no different from what her mother taught her.

However, although her mother is so good at martial arts, she is very good at talking and can tell some truths no matter what. Moreover, the eldest princess and Princess Jiachun are also easy to get along with. A Xi is a little older and talks with them from time to time, and the atmosphere is also good.

When the mother and daughter returned home, Mrs. He was waiting for her. When she saw Ah Xi coming back, she hurriedly asked her to pay her a favor to the Empress Dowager. Ah Xi smiled, "Don't worry, ancestors, it's all right."

Mrs. He asked the maid to give A Xi some snacks, and asked her about the specific meeting. The first time A Xi was seen as a big man like the Empress Dowager, she naturally wanted to say something in her heart. She thought for a while and said, "The Empress Dowager is dignified. I thought the Empress Dowager must have worn a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe on her head. In fact, it is not that way at all. She is so simple, so she wears a white jade phoenix hairpin, which is not gorgeous in dressing, but just sitting so simply, she is extremely grand."

"That's it!" Old Madam He agreed with A Xi's words very much and nodded, "The Empress Dowager!" Such an identity can be less arrogant!

Shen was also curious and asked his granddaughter, "Did the Empress Dowager talk to you?"

Ah Xi said, "I said it. It's just a common saying. I said something about Beichang Prefecture. The Empress Dowager can also speak sarcastic words, which is very good. I also said several words to the Empress Dowager in sarcastic words."

Old Madam He slapped her thigh and said to Shen, "It turns out that it is useful to study more."

Yu Xing smiled on the side of the house, "The Empress Dowager was very talented when she was young. I heard that the Empress Dowager was very knowledgeable when she was young."

Mrs. He said to his two granddaughter-in-law, "The boys in our family are all studying. Now I have gained an experience from A Xi. In the future, whoever you have a daughter, don't forget to ask your daughter to study more."

Although Yu Xing and Du were a little embarrassed, they responded with a smile. Both of them have sons, and they really look forward to their daughter.

Yu Xing said, "The Queen Mother likes girls the most."

Ah Xi also ordered someone to present the things that the Empress Dowager would like to show you. There are two fashionable bright materials, which are the most suitable for girls to wear. There are also a set of amethyst combs, with seven combs of all sizes, some of which can be used to comb their hair, and a pair of small hair combs, which can be worn between the hair to be used as decorations.

Everyone says such exquisite things look good.

Shen and Ah Xi said, "You are so proud of it. This is rewarded by the Empress Dowager. It is also decent to wear it when you go out."

A Xi responded happily. As a little girl, although A Xi was also very sensible, she still felt very honored to be able to enter the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. A Xi was happy all day long, and cherished her own comb. When the twins came home, they heard that their sister received a reward. When they went over to see her, A Xi was not very happy. The twins said a lot of good things before they saw her sister's comb.

One of the twins, Ah Yun exclaimed, "This is really beautiful."

Ayan, the second twin, said, "Now, it is difficult to find amethyst on the market. Because the Empress Dowager likes purple, everyone has been obsessed with purple for many years ago. Crystals are not rare, but they are mostly white crystals and citrines. Such amethysts, not to mention being able to be polished into comb folds, even materials of this size are extremely rare."

Ayun nodded and agreed, feeling that his sister had a good thing.

Ah Xi was also happy and generously let the twins enjoy the fun. Fang Ling maid put it away and planned to wear it again on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Ah Xi and her twins were reserved and rewarded, Ah Xi also specifically told her grandfather. The main reason was that Ah Xi felt that her grandfather was so fairy-like and more powerful than the world.

A Xi and Chaoyun's grandfather said, "The Empress Dowager is really knowledgeable. Grandfather, do you know that it is really obvious whether a person has knowledge or not."

Seeing Ah Xi speak solemnly, Chaoyun's grandfather smiled, "Yes, you will be blessed with poetry and literature."

"Yes, that's the reason." Ah Xi shook his little fan and cooked tea, "I used to think that there may be many people in the world who have identities than my mother, but I have never seen people who are more knowledgeable than my mother. This time I can see them. The Empress Dowager is really knowledgeable."

Chaoyun's grandfather smiled, "Your mother has read a lot of books, and she has just read all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

A Xi said, "Learning is not about whether it is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. These are common knowledge. Some people may not have read a few books, but they are open-minded and open-minded. This is also an amazing knowledge. There are also many girls who are in their parents' homes, chess, calligraphy and painting. When they marry, they leave these things behind and get stuck in trivial matters every day. Like my mother, now we are all grown up, and my mother still reads books every day, and she has never turned herself into a yellow-faced woman because she has a biological child. Today I met the Empress Dowager, and I realized that this person with status and status is not a show of majesty, but naturally, when he reaches that state. Moreover, the most rare thing is that the Empress Dowager's status is very kind to me, and such cultivation is not something that can be achieved in one day."

Ah Xi's admiration for the Empress Dowager, she talked to Grandfather Chaoyun for half an hour, boiled two teapots, and drank Grandfather Chaoyun.

Chaoyun's grandfather put down the teacup and said, "I haven't heard you admire me so much."

Luo Daru almost didn't say anything when he heard this, and he advised Master Chaoyun very seriously, "We are at our age and still have to be more handsome."

Daoist Chaoyun, Bai Luo, saw that this old guy knew how to destroy him.

Ah Xi is worthy of being raised by Chaoyun's grandfather. She said it without making any complaints. "I have been with my grandfather since I was a child. I have been impressed by my grandfather's style and have always admired him."

Chaoyun's grandfather was satisfied with his head and felt that his granddaughter was very knowledgeable.

Luo Daru refused to comment on this pair of stingy grandparents and grandchildren.

Luo Daru was more worried about the Empress Dowager and said to Taoist Chaoyun privately, "The Empress Dowager does not like Empress Dowager Cao, and I, the common people, know about it."

Master Chaoyun said, "You are a commoner, why are you still worried about this?"

Luo Daru said politely, "Okay, it's not entirely up to the Empress Dowager's current status. We old people have not had a few years of life. Am I worried about you? I was thinking that it's not easy for the Empress Dowager. The Cao family was just a breakout, but it was just a matter of Emperor Taizong in the early days. Don't forget about it."

When Taoist Master Chaoyun heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

It is said that Taoist Chaoyun is born without saying that he and Emperor Taizong are the relatives of the uncle and uncle.

But in the royal family, it is really hard to say which is more important than family affection or power.

The destruction of the family of Taoist Chaoyun was entirely due to Emperor Taizong’s gift.

Of course, because of his background, Taoist Chaoyun's family has many things related to state affairs. Moreover, no one of the big families is clean in such a family. Taoist Chaoyun has figured out the old grievances in the past. Just say that Emperor Taizong was a man who had not eliminated the roots of his roots. Taoist Chaoyun's parents were both destroyed by Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Taizong was born and did not attack this cousin.

But Taoist Chaoyun could not be grateful to Emperor Taizong for what Emperor Taizong did. It was Emperor Taizong himself, although he had been on the throne for many years, in the end, the father and son were killed, and Taoist Chaoyun felt quite relieved.

Now Luo Daru mentioned Taizong again, it was nothing more than the mother of Taizong Hu. When Emperor Taizong took power in power, Hu immediately promoted from concubine to empress dowager. Relying on the emperor's son, Hu made many empress dowagers in those years.

Taoist Chaoyun said lightly, "The Empress Dowager is different from my mother. Her mother was born in power, and she gained power without any effort. Therefore, it is inevitable that she could let go easily. Moreover, my mother could not advance or retreat. She was assisted in the government because of her status as a royal princess. Her father had no intention of power, but her uncle always had a desire to surpass her. If my mother sat on this matter, wouldn't she be a royal princess but became a royal sister-in-law? My mother's choice back then was not right or wrong. The Empress Dowager was different. The Empress Dowager married into the royal family, and she ruled with legitimate reasons. As for the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Zetian had a lot of descendants. What happened after that?"

Luo Daru and Tao, "It's good that you know what you know."

There are countless people who have no idea. With the status of Master Chaoyun, he really won’t take the Cao family seriously. There are too many things about human scriptures, so he will naturally look at things thoroughly. Just like Master Chaoyun mentioned Emperor Taizong, he was not as good as before.

When he first returned to the imperial capital, Taoist Chaoyun went to the imperial tomb to live with his old enemy for a while.

Like Emperor Taizong, what if it is, it will be just a piece of loess.

A Xi naturally didn't know the conversations between the two elders. As Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, her mother and aunts were now in the family affairs. If she couldn't use her, A Xi helped Chaoyun Grandfather and helped Chaoyun Grandfather and Luo prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival for the two elders is really simple. There are only two families who have ceremonies, one is the Empress Dowager and the other is the Grandfather Wenkang. The former is the niece of Grandfather Chaoyun, and the latter is the cousin of Grandfather Chaoyun. Axi helped to meet the gift list, and the other is the preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival here. Grandfather Chaoyun said, "Just do it casually."

"How can you do it casually during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ah Xi disagreed with this kind of speech. She is a serious child. She asked about all the dried fruits, honey, fruits, wines and dishes that she had to prepare during the festival. She was very serious.

When Chaoyun's Mid-Autumn Festival gift was given out, they received the return gift. I don't know if it was because of the love of the house and the black ones, there were actually a few things suitable for girls in the return gift. Chaoyun's grandfather gave A Xi all the gifts. A Xi felt very honored. A Xi did not think about this because of the identity of the Empress Dowager and Princess Wen Kang. However, there are always some specialties in passing gifts. For example, familiar people who teach gifts, sometimes they know that you have children or something, and giving things for children is all about getting close to others. Although A Xi was very happy to receive the gift, Chaoyun's grandfather was very happy for Chaoyun's grandfather to have close relatives.

A Xi also invited Brother Azhen to go to Chaoyun's grandfather on August 16th to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Brother Azhen naturally agreed. Originally, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Axi also wanted Brother Azhen to go to her house, because Brother Azhen was alone in the imperial capital. Axi worried that he was lonely, so Ji Zhen still refused. Although his family was not around, his father also arranged for him to be a master and aides. On days like Mid-Autumn Festival, if Ji Zhen was not in the mansion, it would be like he had no backbone in the mansion. In the end, the two made an appointment to go to Chaoyun's grandfather on the 16th of the first lunar month.

It goes without saying that the Mid-Autumn Festival is lively. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the female relatives with imperial decrees got up early to wash up, and after breakfast, they went to the palace to pay their respects to the two palaces to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is the first time that Mrs. He and Mrs. Shen entered the palace. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little nervous, but they were slightly excited. Mrs. He put on the imperial decree uniform and looked in the mirror for eight times. Mrs. Shen pulled her daughter and quietly repeated the process of communicating the imperial decree. Seeing that she had not recited it wrong, Mrs. Shen felt a little relieved.

After I got to clean up, the men went to court and the women went to the palace to pay their respects.

Yu Xing Axi and others sent it to the door before returning.

What does it feel like to go to the palace to pay homage? According to Mr. He, "I'm going to wait. When I'm at the end, an eunuch will lead us into the palace. We're the last one, and I'll kowtow and come out." As for what the Empress Dowager looks like, Mr. He is the end of the imperial decree, so I didn't even see the corner of the Empress Dowager.

What?

You said look up?

Everyone bows their heads and salutes, who dares to look up?

Anyway, although I haven't seen the true appearance of the Empress Dowager, I feel quite honored to be able to enter the palace once. She feels that she will have to take good care of herself in the future and the days to enter the palace are long. As long as the Empress Dowager is not exempted from the imperial edict, she will have to go there without any trouble!

Although it was a bit tiring to enter the palace to pay tribute, it did not affect the evening family banquet at all.

Old Madam He was so happy that she talked about the matter of visiting the palace to pay tribute to her in the evening. All the children and grandchildren were willing to support her, making the old lady very happy.

However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, A Xi's social circle inexplicably rose by n levels. She first only interacted with the girls from the in-laws family. However, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Li girl from the Yong'an Housing first expressed her affection to A Xi.

A Xi analyzed that the current Marquis of Yong'an is the son of Princess Wenkang, and the current General of the Imperial Guard, Li Xuan. It is estimated that the Li family is for the sake of Chaoyun's grandfather. Otherwise, with the Jiang family's official position, they would not even be qualified to go to the Li family to attend a banquet.

A Xi was not nervous when she socialized with the noble daughter of the Marquis. She was lucky enough to meet Princess Wenkang, and then proved A Xi's analysis, because Princess Wenkang asked Taoist Chaoyun directly about it, without any tactfulness at all. A Xi was used to seeing people talking tactfully, and there were few people who were so direct like Princess Wenkang. Fortunately, Princess Wenkang didn't ask any other one, just asked Taoist if it was good. A Xi naturally agreed that she was a living person and knew that it was too thin to answer "good", so she gave an example to show that Grandfather Chaoyun was really good. She drank tea and played chess when she was free, and she was unhappy when she lost too much.

Although it was just a trivial matter, Princess Wenkang listened quite seriously. In the end, she also rewarded A Xi with a set of ruby ​​jewelry. A Xi could not refuse, so she solemnly and respectfully thanked him. Unexpectedly, Princess Wenkang said to A Xi, "It's okay to talk to me about A Yun, so there is no need to say much to others." She was worried that A Xi was young and careless and was confused and was confused.

A Xi hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. The reason I told Your Highness was that on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandfather Chaoyun went to the palace. I thought, Grandfather Chaoyun actually remembered His Highness quite well, so he said to His Highness. If it were someone else, I wouldn't say a word." It proved that he was very strict with his mouth.

Maybe she was happy to hear this. Princess Wen Kang looked at A Xi with a much softer look and smiled, "That's good."

A Xi turned around and did not forget to tell Grandfather Chaoyun that Princess Wen Kang asked her about her grandfather's affairs, and how the princess asked and how she answered, they all told Grandfather Yun.

Grandfather Chaoyun smiled slightly, "This is very good." Seeing Ah Xi posing the jewelry given by Princess Wenkang, but didn't know what to do, Grandfather Chaoyun said, "Just keep it, Wenkang has more good things."

Ah Xi put away the jewelry given by the eldest princess, and actually felt quite puzzled. Her mother said that Chaoyun's grandfather's family was ruined by Emperor Taizong, but Princess Wenkang was the sister of Emperor Taizong's relative, so she had a good relationship with Chaoyun's grandfather.

Ah Xi felt that the relationship between royal affairs was so complicated that people could understand that she had many trivial tasks on weekdays, so she no longer explored it in depth. However, the twins were envious of the elders who always gave their elders to appreciate things when they went out as guests. The twins all said, "We only care about going to school, but you are lucky."

Ah Xi visited his collection by the twins. After hearing this ecstasy of money, Ah Xi couldn't help but remind the twins to tell them not to talk about Chao Yun's grandfather when they went out. The twins said, "We won't say it."

In fact, the children of the Jiang family are all strict. Because they are close to Master Chaoyun, even when the twins who like to show off the show are tightly as if they were mentioned by Chaoyun's grandfather. In other words, this is also a commendable quality. At least, many people want to come from the Jiang family to approach the Empress Dowager's uncle from the Jiang family. Although it is quite annoying that they can't find out anything about the adults and children of the Jiang family, but when they think about it, it has to be said that the Jiang family can do this, and it is no wonder that the Empress Dowager's uncle is close to his family.

The imperial capital is so turbulent, but the Jiang family still lives in a hurry.

The Jiang family is not afraid of people inquiries. Anyway, there are more people who want to inquire from his family. The Jiang family has been accustomed to it over the years. At present, the Jiang family is busy with moving the He family.

The two families are used to living together, and when they really move, they are really reluctant to leave, not only adults, but also children. Fortunately, before moving, Mrs. He returned the twins' golden incense burner to the twins, so that the twins can comfort them.

The twins said, "Old ancestor, if you don't move away, we will send you the incense burner." They really couldn't bear to part with their great-grandmother.

My great-grandmother thought about it and said to the twins quietly, "Finish! You two will save it for me first. I will move over and live there for a few days. Then move back in a few days. You will put it on for me!"

Faced with such a flexible way of dealing with great grandmother, the twins were stunned and said: Then who is the property rights of this golden incense burner?
