Xianggui
Chapter 421 The couple
Queen Ye smiled with a smile on her face, "Oh, get up, I'm waiting for you."
Xunxiang stood up and leaned into Queen Ye's arms. Queen Ye took the red envelope presented by the chamberlain and handed it to Xunxiang's hand.
Xun Xiang thanked her and handed it to Grandma Wang behind her.
Next to Queen Ye sat several concubines such as Concubine Cai Shu and Concubine Li, followed by some other concubines and princesses, including Concubine Lao Rong, a neighbor of Dongyang Princess Mansion. There were several little girls sitting at the end, including the Sixth Princess, Gao Shanzhu and others.
Xunxiang felt that she had gotten up early enough, but it turned out that someone had woken up earlier than her.
Xun Xiang met with the elders, and the chamberlain added a brocade stool diagonally beside the queen, where Xun Xiang sat.
It made those little girls very envious.
The chamberlain at the door announced his name, "XXXX has entered the palace to kowtow to the Queen and pay New Year greetings."
The ladies filed in one by one.
Those with a particularly high status can sit in the main hall after kowtow and talk to the queen about their daily life.
Those who have a lower status stand and say a few words.
Once again, the status is first-class, just kowtow and show your face before leaving.
There are also some women who are not even qualified to enter the palace gate.
Mrs. Xun was particularly kind to the Queen and stood up to say a few words.
Mrs. Dong was given a special seat, and Xunxiang walked over and leaned into her arms very affectionately.
Xun Xiang was very puzzled. Mrs. Dong, who didn't like heavy makeup, put on more colorful makeup today. Not only today, it seems that the makeup I put on when I came to the capital was thicker than when I came to Jiaodong, and it was even thicker today.
It is true that heavy makeup is required for today's occasion, but Mrs. Dong's makeup was too thick, and she completely lost her previous elegance and elegance.
Mrs. Dong hugged Xunxiang and smiled and said, "My wife is destined to be Princess Xiangxiang, and she was very rare to her when we were in Jiaodong. Look at her ear piercings, which were made by my wife. At that time, my wife felt that Xiangxiang was blessed."
"Well, being the Queen's direct granddaughter is not a great blessing..."
Queen Ye smiled and narrowed her eyes.
After saying a few more words, Mrs. Dong stepped back with great insight.
It was almost noon when all the women who had entered the palace had finished kowtowing, and the remaining women were kowtowing outside the door. It was cold, so they sat in the side hall first, and then went out when it was time to kowtow.
The chamberlain at the door announced her name again, "Mrs. So-and-so kowtows to the Queen to pay New Year greetings."
The man knelt on the futon in front of the palace door and kowtowed.
Madam Zhang is such a fateful woman.
Xunxiang felt very distressed and whispered to Yuhuan to take care of her.
At this time, the chamberlain outside the door sang again, "His wife Ding Zhang, the Prince of Sincerity, has entered the palace to kowtow to the Queen to pay New Year greetings."
This is when Mrs. Zhang was granted permission to enter the palace to pay New Year greetings.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then saw the chambermaid smiling and gesturing to her, and then walked into the hall amidst the envious eyes of many.
Queen Ye had met Zhang alone once before. Zhang was very frightened and her voice was shaking when she spoke.
This was the second time I met the queen, so I wasn't so nervous.
She knelt down and kowtowed, "My wife Ding Zhang wishes the Queen a happy New Year. I wish the Queen good health and all the best."
Queen Ye smiled and said, "Single body."
After Mrs. Zhang stood up, Xunxiang walked over and took her hand.
Queen Ye smiled and said, "Looking at this mother, Xiao Xiangxiang is acting like a spoiled child again."
Everyone cheered and laughed a few times.
Concubine Li smiled and said, "Not many adoptive mothers care so much about their daughter."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "My father-in-law likes to say that my daughter will be an official on that day, so she must be cared for."
Queen Ye liked hearing this and gave Zhang a seat. Queen Ye asked a few interesting things about Xunxiang's stay at Ding's house. Ding Zhao taught Mrs. Zhang before she came, and she said a few words that sounded nice and auspicious.
Xunxiang knew that Ms. Zhang didn't like such an occasion, so she interrupted after a few words and Ms. Zhang stood up to leave.
By the time all the women had kowtowed, it was already late noon.
Queen Ye was exhausted and went to rest after lunch.
After a break, Aunt Chai knelt down to apologize for Princess Dongyang.
Xunxiang also knelt down and said, "Grandma Huang, if you want to punish me, punish Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang wants to have a reunion year before my mother goes out to find my father."
When she heard that her daughter and son-in-law were back together, Queen Ye was too late to be happy, so how could she blame her?
But he didn't show it on his face and said, "Dongyang is willing to do it for his daughter. I won't punish her severely. I will copy the 'female precept' ten more times."
This punishment was equivalent to being scratched. Xunxiang and Aunt Chai kowtowed happily.
Not long after, Xun Yibo came again to kowtow to Queen Ye and pay New Year greetings.
At the time of application, everyone dressed up in beautiful clothes and went to the Ci Palace.
Brother and sister Xunxiang sat at Xunqiandai's table.
Except for the eighth prince who was imprisoned in another courtyard, everyone who was supposed to come today came, including many clan members, a total of two to three hundred people.
Many small tables were added, and there were two more small tables at the main table, where several old princes and princesses were sitting.
Almost all eyes would glance at Prince Consort Xun's table, and then take a closer look at Prince Consort Xun with a golden branch, revealing a playful smile.
Especially the seventeen or eight princes-in-law, no matter old or young, their eyes were full of reverence, and they specially came forward to talk to Prince-in-law Xun.
He is the first person who dares to hit the princess.
The point is, it's okay even after being beaten.
One of them, a handsome man in his forties, shed tears when he saw Prince Consort Xun.
He must have been bullied severely.
Prince Consort Xun, on the other hand, was in high spirits and his handsome face was flushed. He was so admired when he was the number one scholar in his youth and paraded through the streets.
Xun Xiang secretly thought that if a "Federation of Prince Consorts of the Li Dynasty" was established, Xun Xiang would definitely be elected as the chairman of the "Federation of Princes Consort".
Should I be too nosy and suggest setting up such an organization? Prince Consorts are a vulnerable group. When they are bullied and encounter problems that they cannot solve on their own, they seek help from the organization.
Xun Xiang believed that if she proposed it, Xun's consort, who was ahead of his time, would definitely be willing to take the lead in handling it, and the consorts would also be willing to have such an organization.
However, the emperor dislikes forming factions. The "Consort Alliance" can also be said to be the "consort party", and it is the weakest and useless party.
It’s not worth much, and it’s going to bring trouble to my father again…
After thinking about it again and again, Xunxiang dismissed the idea.
Amidst the sound of ritual music, the emperor came in.
The sword-wielding guard behind him was still Sun Yumu.
After the emperor sat down, he looked around, waved to Xunxiang and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang, sit here with me."
Xunxiang stood up and bowed, then walked up to the main table in envy and sat on the other side of the emperor.
Fortunately Xunxiang is a girl, otherwise those princes would have been unable to sit still.
The emperor was like this, not only doting on Xunxiang, but also giving face to Dongyang who was not present. It means that I dote on Dongyang’s daughter, which means I dote on Dongyang.
The whole family had a great time today. Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and watched some singing and dancing. As usual, it was the juniors who showed off their talents. There are those who compose poetry, those who play the piano and flute, and those who write.
Elders like Prince Consort Xun will not participate, most of them are unmarried juniors.
If they perform well, the emperor, queen and elders will be rewarded with small pendants, small incense sticks, small sachets, wishful tablets, small palace flowers and other small things.
