Chapter 180 Newcomer Tea

By the time the prince finished his drink and returned to the wedding room, Haitang had already fallen asleep on the table.Shuang'er went to wake her up, but was stopped by Xie Ruitang.

He took off his coat, walked over gently, and picked up the soft Begonia. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put her on the bed, she woke up with a smile: "Do you still want to eat? I let them have the vegetables and snacks." Are you ready?" She still remembered what Xie Ruitan said before leaving, rubbing her eyes and asked.

Xie Ruitang smiled and shook his head, bit her earlobe and said, "I just want to eat you now!"

Haitang blushed and pushed him out, but he hugged her tighter.Haitang held his face with her hands and said hesitantly: "Mommy gave me a book. Do you want to take a look first?"

"Have you seen it?" Xie Ruitang deliberately teased her.Haitang blushed and said nothing.

Xie Ruitang lay down on the bed, spread his hands flat, and said with a bad smile: "Since you have seen it all, come on!"

Haitang was shy and anxious, sitting there not knowing where to start.

Xie Ruitang turned over and sat up, and put down the gauze curtain.From today on, he can finally hold his lover's face in his hands and kiss her without restraint.When the two are in a strong relationship, they can learn from each other without a teacher.Xie Ruitang's wish came true in his two lives, and he wanted to swallow Haitang into his stomach. It was not until Haitang refused to respond that the two hugged each other and fell asleep peacefully.

Just after dawn, the young couple was woken up.Now is not a good time to sleep in. He has to go into the palace to serve tea to the newlyweds to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen and Concubine Ji.

Although the small dresses to be worn today are not as complicated as yesterday's wedding clothes, several people still wore them for a long time around the prince and princess before they were finally dressed up.Xie Ruitang went to take a look and felt relieved that Haitang didn't need to apply the thick powder.

Xie Ruitang and Cheng Haitang smiled at each other, held hands and went out to get into the carriage.The carriage dedicated to the prince is very large inside and covered with thick cushions, so even if the two of them lie down together, it will not be a problem.

However, the two of them were dressed so grandly that Haitang did not dare to lie down for fear of disturbing her hair accessories. She only tilted her head and leaned on Xie Ruitan's shoulder.Xie Ruitang closed his eyes to rest, and gently rubbed the back of Haitang's hand with his fingers, feeling comfortable and comfortable.

In his previous life, Xie Ruitang never got married until his death.

When he left the palace as an adult to open a mansion and build a government office, the two maids arranged for him by the palace to teach the prince to understand human affairs were also dismissed by him indiscriminately.At that time, he didn't know Haitang yet.

The reason why he was unwilling to get married was because he had lived in the palace for 15 years, and for more than five years he had lived in the cold palace without seeing the light of day. He had witnessed the overt and covert fighting in the palace, life and death, and the life of his mother and concubine in such a humble and trembling manner. With such a precarious situation, he deeply hated this kind of royal life with a wide harem.

Later, with that startling glance at the city gate, Cheng Haitang was like a seed that couldn't be pulled out, planted in Xie Ruitang's heart.The only time alone in the hunting ground, the few meetings at the palace banquet, each time he would never forget it and be unforgettable.At that time, he didn't get married because he could no longer accommodate anyone else in his heart.

How lucky you are to be with the one you love in this life!At this moment, Xie Ruitang was satisfied.

The two entered the palace and first went to see the Queen Mother. Concubine Xu was also waiting for them in the Queen Mother's Palace.After drinking the newlywed tea served by the two of them, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "This palace is lifeless. Just wait until you move here. Only if there are more young people can the palace become lively." Concubine Xu held Haitang's hand, but said to Looking at the prince, he said, "The queen mother blames you for not finding a wife earlier to relieve her boredom. Why don't you go over and apologize?"

From beginning to end, Xie Ruitang just looked at his wife and smiled stupidly.The Queen Mother couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, hurry up and offer tea to your father, the queen, and the concubines, and then take them back to the prince's palace and take a look!"

The two held hands again and arrived at Wuying Palace.It's funny to say that if she hadn't sat down to drink the newlywed tea together today, the Queen would never have been able to enter the Wuying Palace to see the Emperor.It seemed that the emperor was still unreliable because he had no one of his own, and the queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The Wuying Hall was filled with cigarette smoke, and there was an unexpected sense of peace.

Today, Cao Baoli and Tian Jun were also very respectful and did not dare to embarrass them.The two of them served tea smoothly, and the emperor said that he had nothing to teach him. He had read such a long article yesterday and it was all over there.Just listen to the Queen's instruction: "I hope you will work hard and give birth to children as soon as possible and spread the branches and leaves of the royal family." Why does this sound so awkward?

The two of them exited and finally went to Qinghe Palace.Concubine Ji had been waiting for a long time. When she saw them coming, she quickly let them into the inner hall.After drinking the newlyweds' tea, Concubine Ji asked with concern: "Were you all exhausted yesterday? When do you plan to move into the palace?"

"My son actually feels that it is more comfortable to live in the prince's palace outside the palace. But my father said that living in the palace is convenient for going to court. After we return home, we will move into the East Palace when the time comes." The prince said to his mother and concubine.

Concubine Ji nodded and said, "That's only a month and a half away. You can send the valuable things in first, and then let the grandma in charge, the eldest girl in charge, and the courtiers follow the things into the palace first, and the palace will be well organized. Now, when will people move? It’s not just a matter of words?”

Haitang Maosa suddenly smiled and said: "This is the best arrangement. My daughter-in-law is young and ignorant, so my mother-in-law has to worry about it."

Concubine Ji nodded and said to Haitang: "Inside the palace, you have to be careful everywhere, just like outside. Zhan'er has just become the crown prince, so many eyes are watching you. If something goes wrong, whether it's you or Zhan'er, This debt will be settled on his head." Haitang couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when she heard this.

Xie Ruitang smiled and said: "Concubine, it's just her first day as a new daughter-in-law. If you scare her like this, how can we dare to come in and live there? Let's enjoy ourselves behind closed doors without offending anyone, so we're still afraid. Who can't?" Xie Ruitang wanted to say a few words for Haitang, but Haitang tugged on his sleeve and he stopped talking.

"I think you are just a master who forgets his mother after marrying his wife!" Concubine Ji also smiled and said: "Go back quickly, there is no need to come in every day to say hello, just follow the rules on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Haitang did not dare to neglect, and according to the advice of her mother-in-law, she asked Aunt Cui, Ji'er and Chang Le to move some belongings into the palace the next day.After Xie Ruiji left the East Palace, there were still many nuns and maids left to guard and maintain the East Palace. When the steward Wu saw the rightful owner, she had no choice but to hand over the East Palace.

This Aunt Wu has some origins.She was the dowry of Empress Wu's family, and later gave it to Prince Xie Ruiji as the steward of the Eastern Palace.The queen had always imagined that Xie Ruiji or Xie Pingkun could come back, so she left her in charge of the East Palace until now.

"In the past, Concubine Ji failed to let people go to Prince Duan. Could it be that after he became the prince and entered the palace, he could still do whatever he wanted?" The queen sneered and said, "Mommy, just go back. When they move into the palace, I will naturally have something to say. ."

Because the East Palace does not belong to the Sixth Palace, the queen cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the East Palace, and she cannot control the new prince like she did with her own son.It's really like this, she needs someone with her there to feel at ease.
