After Xie Yuncang left, the atmosphere in the Shou'an Hall became more casual, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
In this era, the future of a woman's family naturally depends on the man she marries in the future. However, at the same time, marriages in this era are preferably between two surnames, and the power of the mother's family is closely related to the woman's status in her husband's family after she gets married.
A brother's success will bring him honor in his husband's family. After the test, Xie Yun's husband-in-law personally came to congratulate him and specifically told Xie Yun to stay at his parents' house for a few days.
Xie Sihua said happily: "Now that the results are out, isn't it time to hold a Qionglin banquet?"
Xie Li pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm not asking you to participate, but you are still thinking about this!"
These words seemed to remind Xie Wenyuan, "Didn't I hear some time ago that Princess Jingning was going back to Beijing, and there were also rumors that the princess wanted to show off to Princess Huimin at the Qionglin Banquet?"
Mrs. Yu said: "There is such a rumor that the eldest princess has not come back for several years. She married her husband to the south. Now that the prince and princess are old, it is time for her to come back."
Only Xie Songhua was confused, not knowing who they were talking about.
Xie Tu, who was beside her, explained to her in a low voice, "Princess Jingning is the sister of the Holy Emperor. Her consort works in Huating, so the princess followed her there and occasionally returned to the capital to live for a year and a half."
Seeing that Xie Songhua still didn't understand, Xie Tu continued to explain, "The Holy One has only one sister who has the same mother, and he always values her very highly.
The marriage back then was ordered by the late emperor. Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, he will naturally find a way to let the princess stay in the capital. The princess has given birth to a son and a daughter and has already been named the prince and princess of the county. The marriage must be in the capital."
Xie Songhua understood and said with a smile: "Then this is another delicious pastry."
As Xie Songhua said, although the Princess Mansion is not comparable to the Prince's Mansion, Princess Jingning is indeed a special existence.
Just by looking at the way she returned to Beijing, you can tell her status in the heart of the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor not only sent spiritual men from the Lingxiao Palace, but also the eunuchs from the inner court and even asked the Ministry of Rites to send people to the outside of the city to greet him. The grand gesture was simply a grand event for the entire capital.
Approximately as Xie Wenyuan said, the eldest princess really intended to choose a husband for her daughter at the Qionglin Banquet. The Qionglin Banquet, which was supposed to be held on the third day after the results were released, was unexpectedly postponed for two days.
Naturally, a wealthy official family like the Xie family would not go out to join in the fun like the common people in the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of the princess. However, many of the servants in the family went to see her when they had the chance.
I didn't say anything about the princess when I came back. After all, the princess was sitting there looking around.
However, Princess Minhui's celestial beauty has spread widely, and when you walk on the road, you can hear rumors about the servants gathering in twos and threes.
Even in the banquet terrace, because Bi Tao was on her period that day, she also went to the street to join in the fun. The little maids crowded around her and asked.
Xie Songhua had just written the prescriptions for several Jingxintang patients and put them aside to dry. He vaguely heard the chatter of some maids outside the window, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really that beautiful?"
Didn't hear an answer.
Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, "Hey, haven't you been to the palace? Haven't you seen this princess?"
"I've seen it."
Seeing that his voice was so calm, Xie Songhua couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Really? Then why didn't you say it? Is it really that good-looking?"
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and asked a little bit embarrassedly: "How much better-looking than me?"
It's not that she is narcissistic, the original owner's appearance is really not bad. After being raised in Xie's family for nearly a year, she has almost completely transformed. Now when she goes out, she can be regarded as a beauty.
Yu Ruzhuo coughed lightly, her voice a bit unnatural, "I didn't pay attention."
"Ah?" It's true that she can't see him, but he can see her!
Didn't you notice that this is a bit insulting?
"I didn't look at her carefully."
Yu Ruzhuo's timely explanation made Xie Songhua realize that he was talking about Princess Huimin.
So, is this an explanation?
Xie Songhua felt a little relieved because of this, "You don't even look at the beautiful woman, you really..."
He really doesn't look like a normal man.
Naturally, she didn't say anything else after this.
"Are you worried that the princess likes Chen Liu?"
Xie Songhua just picked up the water glass and took a sip. He almost choked when he heard this, "What?"
"Are you so concerned about Princess Huimin because you heard that the princess is choosing a son-in-law at the Qionglin Banquet, and are you worried that she will fall in love with Chen Liu?"
Xie Songhua had never thought about what Yu Ruzhuo said and couldn't help but be stunned.
Chen Liu marries Princess Huimin?
Judging from the current status of Princess Jingning in the heart of the Holy Emperor, marrying the princess would be a shortcut.
After all, Chen Liu came from a small place and had nothing to rely on in the court...
only……
This is the same problem as Gao Ying. Qi Dafei is not even a good thing for Chen Liu personally.
She didn't know what kind of person Princess Jingning was. She was about to ask Yu Ruzhuo when she heard him say calmly: "I have something to go out for."
Just as Xie Songhua was about to nod, he felt a breeze blowing next to him, and the two windows were pushed open a little, and he knew that he had left.
I had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to my lips.
At this time, the discussion voice of the little maid outside became clearer, "Is the princess more beautiful than our girl?"
"I'm afraid there is no girl in the entire capital who can be as beautiful as the princess."
"This...isn't that the most beautiful woman in Daqi?"
"That's not the case!"
"..."
When Xie Songhua heard their conversation, he couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of Yu Ruzhuo's words. Facing such a beautiful woman, he turned a blind eye?
There's something wrong with it!
On the day of the Qionglin Banquet, the top three were paraded through the streets. This time, the old lady said, "Everyone is going out to have fun. Just be careful."
How can the girls in the deep courtyard join in the excitement?
Not to be outdone, no one was ready to go out.
But to join in the fun, I just booked a private room facing the window in a restaurant on Zhengyangmen Street and took a look.
The excitement is really quite big, and private rooms like this are basically reserved by noble families.
When he saw Chen Liu wearing a bright red No. 1 Scholar uniform and sitting on a high horse in the lead, Xie Songhua sincerely sighed in his heart. Sure enough, this is what he should look like.
He has a cool and restrained temperament, and even wearing this bright red clothes, he has a more solemn flavor.
In addition to him, Tanhua, who was described as handsome and had a gentle temperament, was also highly sought after by everyone. From above, Xie Songhua saw many young girls quietly sending flowers to the young master of the Fang family.
This is the legendary Tou Guoying Car!
With the young master of the Fang family, Chen Liu is no longer so prominent.
Xie Sihua murmured: "I don't know whose daughter these two outstanding young people will marry."
Xie Li laughed when he heard this: "What is Sister Qi thinking?!"
Xie Sihua's face turned red when he heard this, and he hit her with a handkerchief, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xie Shuhua sneered and said, "What are you thinking about? Even if you are really interested in her, you still want to see if Princess Minhui has anything left for you."
Since the last time at Shou'an Hall, Xie Shuhua's temper has become more and more surly. When the sisters get along with each other on weekdays, they often get into weird and weird moods with guns and sticks. Several of them have become accustomed to it, so they pretended not to hear it.
Although the news that the eldest princess wanted to choose a son-in-law at the Qionglin Banquet spread a lot, no news was heard for several days after the Qionglin Banquet. However, various mansions received messages from the eldest princess's mansion.
