Chapter 322
Chapter 311
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is naturally lively. High-ranking families like the Qin family, such as the Qin general, and his wife, as well as the Qin prince-consort, will be invited to attend the palace banquet.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first chrysanthemum blooms in September, which was the marriage between Qin Ting and Princess Jiaxiang. After seeing the dowry in advance, it was sent to Princess Jiaxiang's Princess' Mansion in a great way. This princess' mansion was not newly built, but it would never be wronged by Princess Jiaxiang. It was originally the mansion of an old prince. He had been raised for hundreds of years. Later, he was demoted and could not live in the palace, so he offered it back to the royal family. Emperor Mu Xuan preferred his daughter, and Princess Jiayue's mansion was also here. The two princess' mansions were just next to each other, which meant that sisters were harmonious.
Although Princess Jiaxiang is the second daughter, she is the legitimate daughter, and her dowry is slightly more than Princess Jiayue. Princess Jiayue does not compete for this. Queen Lu saved a dowry for her daughter for twenty years, and recently bought it. Later, the dowry list was too rich. Queen Lu also rewarded Princess Jiayue in the name of Princess Jiayue's production. The newly purchased good materials from Nan'er also included Princess Jiayue, and explained to Princess Jiayue, "You got married earlier than your sister. These fresh flowers were only available this year. I think it's good to make clothes, so you can wear them."
Princess Jiayue hurriedly said, "Since I was young, my mother has been rewarded continuously. Now I am married, and my sister has bought a dowry, and my mother always thinks about me. Queen Mother, I am older and will be a mother now. But my sister is about to get a wedding, so my mother can buy it for her sister." To be honest, Queen Lu is indeed not a petty person, and these rewards are all done by two princesses in one bowl. However, Princess Jiayue is so smart. It must be because Princess Jiaxiang’s dowry is too plump, and Queen Lu rewards her again.
"You and your sister are the same in my heart." Seeing Princess Jiayue grateful, Queen Lu smiled in her eyes. This is how people do good deeds, and hope that they will be happy in their hearts. Only then can they know that their kindness is not in vain. Princess Jiayue also showed some relatives at the right time and said understandingly, "In recent years, my mother and I have been taking care of my mother and my life has been smooth and smooth. Our family, two girls, my sister and I, my father and mother, love us. From now on, my sister and I will be neighbors, and I will be as close as the palace and outside the palace."
"That's the reason." Empress Lu also likes Princess Jiayue's gentleness and intelligence. She gets along well with her daughter when she is in the palace. In addition, there is only one daughter under Concubine Hui. Empress Lu has always been very good to the mother and daughter. She said to Princess Jiayue, "Jiaxiang's temperament is not as sensible as you. You are the sister. From now on, you will be outside the palace. Please give her more advice on everything."
"My sister doesn't use me to mention it. I heard from the prince-in-law that everything goes to Northern Xinjiang is thanks to Brother Qin's husband. Don't worry, my sister and I grew up together. Now that I am married outside the palace, my sisters are naturally supported by each other."
Empress Lu was very happy to hear this. She said for a moment. Fang Ling the palace servant carried his carriage and sent Princess Jiayue to Huifei's place. Princess Jiayue smiled and thanked her.
Concubine Hui had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and with a nervous look on her face, she ordered the two palace servants to help their daughter sit down. Princess Jiayue waved her hand, "No, how can I be fine."
Concubine Hui still put the hidden bag behind her daughter's waist and chanted the Buddha's name, "My ancestor, why are you still entering the palace now?" She is already in her early nine months, and she is the first child. What should I do if the child is on the road to life?
"I felt that I was not going to have a child yet. I thought that my sister Jiaxiang was going to get married. I came to the palace to see her. After paying homage to the emperor's grandmother, I sat down at the queen and came to see her mother, so that you would not always worry about me."
"I'm more worried about going out now." Huifei said angrily and asked her how she was, whether she was in the princess's mansion or the prince's mansion these days.
"Everything is good. We all live in the Duke's Mansion, and I think we will produce it in the Duke's Mansion."
"That's good. Jiaxiang wants to hold a wedding ceremony. You two mansions are next to each other. Her mansion is beating drums and drums, so you are afraid that it will not be quiet. What's more, the old Duke's wife is a long-standing old man. You and the prince-consort have always been together. Why didn't he enter the palace with you today?"
"This time he came back, his father asked him to learn some common affairs with Uncle Tang in the Internal Affairs Department. Uncle Tang was so happy that he said that it was Jiaxiang's wedding now, and his father's birthday was still there, and he was short of people. The prince-in-law went out early in the morning and sometimes he ate dinner in the yamen."
"It can be seen that the son-in-law is still worthy of the mission. If he fails, your uncle Tang is afraid that he will not be able to raise him even if he wants to support him." The son-in-law is really bad, and Concubine Hui is also happy.
"He is so meticulous, so I'm worried that he will cut off other people's financial resources and will make people sick." The Interior Department is in charge of the royal family's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The royal family naturally wants to send trustworthy people, but the oil and water are also extremely high.
Hui Fei said, "Don't worry, your uncle is in charge of the Internal Affairs Department, and your son-in-law is a smart person. How can your father's son-in-law be annoying?"
Princess Jiayue smiled, "That's the same. When I came back this time, the prince-consort went to give Xiaobao something to my aunt and uncle, and told me that my aunt pulled him and said a lot."
"The eldest princess is concerned about Xiaobao." Hui Fei asked, "The eldest princess is a kind mother. Marquis Lu is in the northern border, and the third prince has always taken care of Xiaobao. Xiaobao's child is also smart and can live a good life even in the northern border."
"Isn't that right? I heard from the prince consort that Xiaobao is in charge of the interactions between various tribes in the third brother's palace. He is very respected and usually lives in the Lu Marquis's mansion. Lu treats Xiaobao the same as his own son." Princess Jiayue said.
"Didn't it mean that the children who followed the third prince to the northern border of Duke Lan's mansion went back to the imperial capital with their son-in-law and the others this time?" Concubine Hui said quietly to her daughter, "The prince-consort did not say that the prince-consort entered the palace that day. I guess she was afraid that the queen mother would get angry when she heard it. Yesterday, Duke Lan brought the prince's wife to the palace. It was nothing to see that the queen mother mother mother was fine, and it was impossible to just say that the children could not get along."
"Mother, don't you know, this matter has something to do with Xiaobao." Princess Jiayue talked about the disagreement between Xiaobao and Lan Shuang. Tang Mo never took the loss on the corner of his mouth. He had known Yao Xu a long time ago, and even told Yao Xu about how Lan Shuang was big and how arrogant she was. Yao Xu didn't tell his wife when he came back, so Princess Jiayue secretly told her mother.
Huifei said, "Both are spoiled at home, and the Lan family's children are also from a family, but no matter how bad they shouldn't have made such a fuss with Xiaobao."
"Lan Shuang has long been a bit arrogant. He has done nothing but mistreatment, but it is too much of a shame for the third brother." Princess Jiayue said, "The third cousin of the Lan family is very good in northern Xinjiang. I heard from the prince consort that he is busy with the academy all day and has no time to drink with them."
When Concubine Hui thought of the third master of the Lan family, she burst into laughter, "The Third Prince is really aware of people and is good at responsibilities. Master Lan San loves to do things without his hobbies, but likes to do things. That is really the fragrance of books all over his body."
The mother and daughter were talking, and Emperor Mu Xuan came over smoothly, without any disturbance. When he came in, Concubine Hui saw it and smiled and went to caress her daughter's hand. Emperor Mu Xuan waved his hand, "Let's family, don't move. Today's affairs are not busy. I heard that Jiayue has entered the palace. Come and see you."
Concubine Hui gave up the seat on the couch, Emperor Mu Xuan went to guard his daughter and moved the maid to a Huanghuali wood mattress. Concubine Hui sat on the chair and heard Emperor Mu Xuan ask, "I heard from the queen that Jiayue has been nine months old. If you want to enter the palace and send someone to say, I will pick you up, don't go out by yourself."
"I think it's okay. The imperial physician looked at me and said that my fetus was stable and I had to wait until my full term. My father rested at ease. I was in the Duke's Mansion. Every day my old lady was walking in the garden, and I followed her. The imperial physician and the nanny said that I was in good spirits." Princess Jiayue smiled in her eyes, "I thought that Sister Jiaxiang was about to get married, so I came to the palace to see her."
Emperor Mu Xuan was pleased, "I put your princess's mansion together, just because my sisters were close to each other in the future and could take care of each other."
The palace servant brought the tea, and Concubine Hui took it and handed it to Emperor Mu Xuan. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "When I first came in, I heard you were joking, and I was so happy."
Princess Hui was full of smiles, and Emperor Mu Xuan became more and more curious. Princess Jiayue said that Lan San’s cousin was in the Northern Xinjiang Academy and told her father again, “I didn’t see the third cousin of the Lan family in the palace, and I also heard that he was a person who loved to study. What did the mother just say? The third brother knew people and was good at taking responsibility.”
I heard that when I asked Lan Sanguan Academy, Emperor Mu Xuan almost didn't spray tea. He had no choice but to say, "I don't know what the Northern Xinjiang is doing now. Anyway, the third brother is going to have a big fight."
"Father, I heard from the prince-consort that it was really good. I said that there are many merchants in Xinyi City. Although it is the northern prefecture, it is not as good as the wealthy territory within the pass." Princess Jiayue said seriously, and Emperor Mu Xuan smiled, "That's good."
Princess Jiaxiang's dowry was so prosperous that both the Censorate and the Ministry of Rites were a little slight, believing that the emperor and the empress favored their daughter too much. Fortunately, the dowry came from the private treasury of His Majesty and the empress, and did not use a penny of the national treasury. Moreover, when it comes to giving the daughter a fief, Emperor Mu Xuan only gave Princess Jiaxiang two thousand households more than Princess Jiayue.
However, the old lady of Duke Yao was worried that her grandson would be unhappy and asked her grandson to pay attention in private. However, Princess Jiayue has always been open-minded and did not care about this. She was originally inferior to Jiaxiang, but she had never suffered any grievances in the palace. The queen mother and queen were prepared for her with great care. Even if she was not as good as Jiaxiang, she would be rich and leisurely for her life.
Princess Jiayue also privately told Princess Jiaxiang many thoughtful words from sisters, especially praising the Qin princess, praising the princess for being in real and capable, being a top-notch talent, and showing envy at the right time. Princess Jiaxiang was very happy.
Princess Jiayue sometimes thinks that this sister is really a childish person.
On the second day of Princess Jiaxiang's wedding, a group of ambassadors came to the imperial capital. Princess Jiaxiang's wedding was overjoyed. When she woke up, she disappeared from her husband. The nanny and the palace servant came forward to serve the princess and stood up. Princess Jiaxiang asked, "Where is the princess?"
"The prince consort started practicing martial arts at the fifth day of the day." Madam Xue has been taking care of the princess since she was a child. She served the princess and applied powder on her face while laughing, "The prince consort was so gentle when she got up. She went to the outside room to wash, just because she was worried that she would disturb the princess."
Princess Jiaxiang bent her lips, moved away from the charming self in the mirror, and said angrily, "I don't have to go to court today, I'm still getting up so early."
"I will ask someone to call my husband and wife to come over." said Madam Xue.
"What are you calling? Cloth my hair quickly. I'm going to see the prince consort practice martial arts. My elder brother said that the prince consort's martial arts is very good."
"Can we have our prince?"
"Brother is to strengthen the body. The princess is going to fight to kill the enemy. What's the same?" Princess Jiaxiang urged the maid to dress up for herself, and a hairpin on her head was tied with a red phoenix and beaded hairpin on her head, and she went to the martial arts field to find the princess.
The newlyweds, Qin Ting is taciturn, but fortunately, he can support the role. Princess Jiaxiang talks a lot, so he listens and responds to one or two sentences at the right time. Princess Jiaxiang's words became even more lively.
After the two of them had breakfast, they had to go to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
As soon as the carriage left the princess's mansion, she encountered a large group of teams coming over as soon as she turned a corner. The hatchback convoy met. Logically, the one who was good at it was always on Zhuque Street, but Princess Jiaxiang's carriage came from Taixiang Street. Even if she gave in, it should be Princess Jiaxiang's carriage. Who did Princess Jiaxiang give in? Her servants were also domineering and shouted loudly, "Princess, don't give in!"
Someone said there, "You are princesses, we are also princesses, and we are guests from afar. Are the princesses from Central Plains so rude!"
When Princess Jiaxiang heard this, she pushed the car window open, looked out, and asked, "Where did the prince of the small country in the mountains and wilderness come from, dare to stop my way!"
Qin Ting:...
Qin Ting knew that there were times when nobles in the imperial capital were fighting for the road, but he was calm and would rather let someone go than argue with others. Princess Jiaxiang suddenly made a fuss. Although Qin Ting was a little surprised, he was not too surprised. Before he got married, he heard from the prince that Princess Jiaxiang was a little arrogant.
Hearing Princess Jiaxiang's orders, the attendant immediately rushed over like a wolf and a tiger, and posed as a sword and a sword. The other party even shouted out the saber.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Be careful not to be anxious! Be anxious not to be anxious!" An urgent voice changed tone sounded, and first discussed with the other side, "This is the carriage of the legitimate princess Jiaxiang and the prince-consort. The prince is a guest from afar. Why not give in for a while?"
A sentence came from the carvings with extremely luxurious decorations, "I have never given anyone since I was a child."
For a moment, a young official in green robe jogged over with sweat and bowed deeply, looking embarrassed, "Your Highness, Princess, Princess, this is the prince of Zhennan. I came to our court to celebrate His Majesty's birthday. This is a guest from afar-"
Qin Ting's eyes fell on the guard guarding the carriage opposite. Princess Jiaxiang was already angry and scolded the little official of the Honglu Temple, "Please let me understand my head. Could you let this princess let the bird prince of a small country in such a remote country, barren mountains and barbarians! Tell me what the bird prince, if you don't let me get out!"
Seeing that the little official was scolded, Qin Ting gently pressed Princess Jiaxiang's shoulder and held her arm leaning against the wall of the car, and advised, "Don't be angry about this." He told the official of the Honglu Temple, "You go and tell the prince that it would be okay to let him go, but he was arrogant. This is the imperial capital, not Dali. Since he came to the imperial capital to celebrate his father's birthday, he should know the principle of the guest following the way. Please let him go."
Xiaoguaner hurriedly ran over to pass the message. The convoy of Zhennanguo was in a stalemate for a moment and finally made the road open. Princess Jiaxiang glanced at the envoy's convoy, snorted arrogantly, then put down the curtains of the car, looked at Qin Ting with satisfaction, and sat back into the car.
The couple entered the palace to greet the elders. Princess Jiaxiang was so unsustainable that she told him about this matter in front of Emperor Mu Xuan. "I don't know if their princess has come together. I think the prince of the small country is very imposing. Father, don't be too gentle when you see the prince. They are so arrogant. We are polite, but we think we are weak."
Emperor Mu Xuan laughed, "Okay, I know." He asked them again that the wedding was very lively yesterday. Princess Jiayue always answered that everything was fine after the wedding. Princess Jiaxiang was not, she was just a straightforward person. "It's very lively, but I've been in the house and I can't see outside. Aunt and Prince Chu's wife are with me, and my elder sister also said something to me. I was very worried about her and said she wouldn't let her come over. She and her elder brother-in-law arrived early in the morning. I'm fine. The prince consort is more tired. The third update of the banquet outside ended."
I didn't meet many people before marriage, and Qin Ting knew how straight Princess Jiaxiang was. As the prince-in-law, Qin Ting added, "I'm not very tired."
Princess Jiaxiang thought for a while, "That's right, I went to practice martial arts early in the morning. Father, you have never seen the prince consort practice martial arts, it's very good. I look better than my elder brother's martial arts." Her proud look made Emperor Mu Xuan laugh, "Oh, that's so good."
"Of course. I saw it with my own eyes." Princess Jiaxiang was very satisfied with the prince's consort, especially when she asked the prince to give the car just now, thinking that the prince's consort was standing aside with her. This must be what the mother said about "husband and wife one".
Seeing his daughter so happy, Emperor Mu Xuan felt a stone falling to the ground and smiled, "I have a treasure knife here, so let me give it to the prince consort."
"Thank you, Father." Princess Jiaxiang stood up generously and bowed with blessings, and then accepted them. Qin Ting immediately stood up and bowed. Emperor Mu Xuan liked this little daughter very much and gave her a lot of rewards. Then he ordered the young couple to go to Ci'en Palace.
When Princess Jiaxiang entered the palace once, she learned about the arrogant story of the prince of Zhennan. The lunch they used in the palace that day, and Queen Lu called her daughter to Fengyi Palace to say private words for a long time. Princess Jiaxiang was very satisfied with the prince consort and said, "In the past, I thought she was such a pedantic person. In fact, it was not the case. He knew to stand by me."
"I complained to me before, and my ears were so calendered." Queen Lu pointed at her ears and made fun of her.
"I was not familiar with it before." Princess Jiaxiang hugged her mother and acted coquettishly.
Princess Jiaxiang's domineering behavior is reflected in her visiting her parents-in-law at the Qin family on the third day of marriage. Anyway, her parents-in-law did not dare to accept her gifts. She still gave her face a blessing. Her younger brothers and sisters each had a generous gift for her meeting. General Qin, Mrs. Qin, asked Princess Jiaxiang to sit on her head. Princess Jiaxiang said to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law with her own style, "It's all a family in the future. If you have any questions, just tell me. If someone bullies you, just tell me."
The Qin family said:...
General Qin couldn't stand Princess Jiaxiang's arrogance when he made an appointment, so he called his eldest son to go to the study to speak. General Qin liked to speak. After noon, the seat was set, but he still had not seen the father and son coming. Mrs. Qin was used to it and asked the princess to say, "They are probably talking about official duties. Princess, let's go to the table first."
Princess Jiaxiang said, "It's already noon, so I don't eat anything so busy? My father is not so busy every day for many military and national affairs." He raised his chin to the palace servants around him, "Go and invite the prince-consort to come over, and then discuss official duties after lunch, and I say I'm sure."
General Qin has always been a one-man show at home, and the Qin family was so shocked that they could not speak. Seeing the palace servants going to pass on the princess's words, no one said the word "no". Princess Jiaxiang was like an elephant rumbled all day long. Wherever she went, mortals had to follow her will.
As for why, Princess Jiaxiang never considered it, because she was born like this!
