Chapter 693 The joy is true, and it is true that I feel sorry for you
Rong Ci brought her embroidered shoes, then a coat, and carried her to the wooden couch near the window, and then ordered the kitchen to prepare food.
Xie Yixiao opened the window and looked at the yard. It was already dark, and the lights in the yard were a little brighter. Across the far yard, he could see someone walking in the kitchen of the south wing.
The cold wind blew and she finally woke up.
"What time is it now?"
"Xu Shi was hit."
Xie Yixiao calculated the time in her mind and found that it should be eight o'clock in the evening. She had slept for nearly five hours.
"Why didn't you ask me to get up and eat?"
"It doesn't matter, it's okay to sleep a little longer. You've been tired recently. You have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning." Tomorrow is the eighth day of February, His Majesty's Longevity Festival, and they have to go to the palace early in the morning.
"Come and wash your face."
Xie Yixiao put on her embroidered shoes, walked to the basin stand, washed her face and mouth with warm water, and then took a clean cloth to wipe her face. When she walked to the dressing table and sat down, she suddenly turned to look at him again: "You
Have you eaten?"
Rong Ci sat down on the edge of the coffee table. After hearing this, he looked back at her and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xie Yixiao couldn't help laughing: "Are you waiting for me?" After asking, she smiled even more wantonly. Her eyes were bright and her eyebrows were curved, "Alas, what are you waiting for me for? Are you hungry?
You can eat it by yourself when you get back."
Seeing her smiling like this, Rong Ci couldn't help but laugh: "Before you say these words, you'd better put this expression away, it looks fake."
"Is it fake? How could it be? I am a very sincere person. It is true that I am happy, and I am true that I feel sorry for you." Xie Yixiao quickly combed his hair, and then took him to the Ming Hall for dinner.
All the food is warm on the stove, so if you want to eat it now, it can be put on the table immediately.
Xie Yi smiled and drank a bowl of rice porridge to not feel hungry, and then talked to him: "Today, Prince Zhongyong returned with Si Yunlang, did you know?"
Rong Ci hummed. Such news spread quickly. He had already heard about it when he was at the Ministry of War. Everyone was very shocked when they found out. After all, people who had been dead for more than ten years came back alive.
"It can be considered a happy event. Your Majesty was very happy when he learned about it."
In the early years, when Si Yunlang was killed and neither his body nor his body was seen alive, there was a sigh in the imperial city, which was felt to be a pity. Now that this man is back alive, it is indeed a happy event.
Prince Zhongyong also has his own considerations at this time, and His Majesty should reward him.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "We are still talking today about whether Jingyang Houfu recognizes the wife that this company son married in the fishing village and whether to marry him another one. Also, Jingyang Houfu already has an eldest son, and this title will be given in the future.
To whom?"
"It's hard to say." Rong Ci picked up a pair of bean sprouts for her. Winter vegetables are rare, but the couple also like to eat something fresh and vegetarian, so they asked Chef Ding to fry some bean sprouts and eat them crispy.
Very good.
"The Si Gongzi is the eldest son and the only legitimate son. According to the age of the legitimate concubine, the position of the eldest son should belong to him. However, he has been away from the Imperial City for many years and knows nothing about the affairs of the Imperial City. Moreover, he has lost his memory. He is just a living person.
They are just people in the fishing village who are trying to make a living to support their wives and children."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "The prince of the company has the support of Mrs. Jingyanghou, but now the prince of Jingyanghou has been operating in the imperial city for many years, and he is marrying...whose girl is he marrying?"
"Pingjin Marquis Mansion." Rong Ci asked specifically, "Jingyang Marquis Prince married the second daughter of Pingjin Marquis Mansion."
When Xie Yixiao heard this, he sighed: "If this is the case, Mrs. Jingyanghou is afraid that she will marry Mr. Si to a daughter-in-law from a high family. What do you think, if she really marries another daughter-in-law, what will Mrs. Si do like this? Should she stay?
When a son dies from his mother, should he send her a letter of divorce and let her leave, or should he demote his wife as a concubine and let her resign to the position of concubine?"
"Let me tell you, it would really not be a good thing if that company man married another man. His wife and her family saved his life, and in order to have several children, the wife demoted her to a concubine as soon as she became powerful."
The more Xie Yixiao talked, the more angry he became. Because that woman was unfair, meeting such a person would be a disaster.
Rong Ci said: "Jingyang Marquis Mansion is far away from us, and we can't be their masters. What we have to worry about now is Third Brother's side..."
When Xie Yixiao heard what he said about Liao Zhuyin's talk of leaving and running for true love, her heart felt knotty again and she really didn't want to talk anymore. She lowered her head and drank the porridge from her bowl dully.
The couple finished their meal, asked the servants to clean up, and then went to the study together to read for a while. When they were almost done eating, they went back to rest.
The next day was His Majesty's Longevity Festival. Rong Guogong and Rong Xun were going to the court to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday. Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao left earlier, setting off before dawn.
They had to go to the embassy first, lead the envoys into the palace to celebrate his birthday and send them gifts.
Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Ming can go there later, but they have to enter the palace before noon.
There were four women who came to congratulate this time. In addition to Princess Zhaorou of Xiliang and Princess Qinghua of South Vietnam, there was also Princess Zong, a princess from Northern Xinjiang, and Princess Zhelan, a princess from Western Vietnam. However, both countries had
Mr. and Mrs. An Wang will be responsible for the reception.
When Xie Yixiao passed by, he first went to see Princess Qinghua. Nanyue Kingdom has always been low-key, and she came here with the intention of paying tribute and learning. She was wearing the robe of the Princess of Nanyue, embroidered with flowers and auspicious clouds, which made her look perfect.
It's like an immortal descended from the sky.
When Xie Yixiao came, Princess Qinghua had already prepared. Xie Yixiao just sat down and said a few words, and repeated to Princess Qinghua what to pay attention to when going to the Tai Chi Hall to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and then continued.
Went to see Princess Zhaorou.
Compared with Princess Qinghua, Princess Zhaorou is simply a walking jewelry shelf. This full box of jewelry is inserted one after another. When Xie Yixiao came, she was still asking her maid to change the insertions for her.
The location of jewelry.
Xie Yixiao's eyes hurt when she looked at the things on this end. She was really worried that her hair wouldn't be able to support so many jewelry and would fall down.
"Here, change this hairpin to this position, and change this one here too."
"Oh, be careful, don't hurt my hair."
Xie Yixiao took a deep breath and then said: "Princess Zhaorou, you have to hurry up. We will set off in less than half an hour. No one will be waiting for you soon."
Princess Zhaorou was a little dissatisfied when she heard this. She usually had others waiting for her, so no one dared to urge her to hurry up. However, she also knew that she was in Dongming now, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart.
