Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 316 Choosing a Prince Consort ([-])

Now, Qiu Zhongxiang and Qiu Qiming, whenever they are free, they will find two people to play a few rounds of mahjong.In fact, I had a good time.

Today, the two of them, father and son, each prepared gifts for Xiao Yulin.

Qiu Zhongxiang prepared a precious Tian Huangshi seal for his little grandson.

Qiu Qiming prepared a Hetian jade horse for his great-grandson.

And Qiu Qiming's wife, the current empress dowager, prepared a Nanhai pearl the size of an egg for Qiu Yulin.

Because now Qiu Yulin is the youngest great-grandson, the couple loves her very much, and the gifts they give are very precious.

Today, Qiu Yongzheng's two sister-in-laws, Princess Jin and Princess Yu, came to send blessings to Qiu Yulin.They also each gave gifts to Qiu Yulin.

When Qiu Zhongxiang and Qiu Qiming saw that the entire Yangming Palace was full of female relatives.

After everyone bowed down to them, the father and son only gave gifts to Xu Xiaomi, looked at Qiu Yulin who was very well-behaved today, and went back to play chess.

Other noble ladies, for example, Wu Qian's wife gave an emerald green jade ruyi; Lu Quan's wife gave a pair of crystal clear jade bowls.

What Mu Yuanqing's wife gave was a large bronze tripod with divine beasts cast on all sides.

What Zhou Kelei's wife gave was a white jade basin with a diameter of one foot.

These things, if you take any one out, are priceless.Xu Xiaomi, a money fanatic, was very happy when he saw these things.

However, she still asked Caiyi to write down all the gifts from everyone on paper.

After everyone delivered the presents and exchanged a few words of greetings, they were arranged to have lunch in the Hall of Life.

Xu Xiaomi also only sat for more than half an hour, and felt that she was very tired from sitting, so she had to go back to the couch in the side hall to lie down again.

We are all women and mothers, so we all understand the princess who is still in confinement.

Xu Xiaomi fell asleep after being urged by her mother, Zhou Yuqing, to eat something.

For Qiu Yulin's full moon wine, because Zhou Yuqing was naturally timid and came from the countryside, she didn't have the confidence to deal with those ladies in the capital.

And Xu Xiaomi's mother-in-law has been insane and unable to help receive her.

Therefore, the work of receiving the wives is fully delegated by the Empress Dowager.After lunch, Qiu Yongzheng did all the gifts from the wives in return.

When Xu Xiaomi woke up in the evening, he asked a series of details and listened to Qiu Yongzheng's report.

She took a long breath, and said with some embarrassment: "Oh! My husband, it's lucky to have you! I'm getting more and more useless now. After sitting for a short while, I feel weak all over and just want to sleep.

Mr. Xiang, thank you! "

When Qiu Yongzheng heard his beloved wife say these polite words, he stretched out his hand to scratch her nose and said, "Look at you, why are you being polite? Fool, I am your husband-in-law, and these are what I should do."

Now Xu Xiaomi is quite satisfied with Qiu Yongzheng as her husband.So, recently, she always feels that her husband is getting more and more handsome.

Seeing his beloved wife looking at him, Qiu Yongzheng just wanted to get close to her face and kiss her.In the end, Cuiping asked two maids to carry a bucket of hot water for her, and opened the door to bathe little Yulin.

Qiu Yongzheng was so frightened that he hurriedly stood at the door.Xu Xiaomi looked at her husband's blushing face amusedly.

Qiu Yongzheng just rolled his eyes at his beloved wife, fearing that she would say something shocking again that would make him unable to step down.Walked out of Yangming Palace in a few steps.

Qiu Yulin's full moon wine passed away like this.In the evening, Xu Xiaomi ordered that each of the maids and eunuchs in the palace be rewarded with five hundred Wen.

The nanny in charge, the eunuch in charge, and the heads of the Sixth Division will each be rewarded with one tael of silver.Each of the little maids also has five hundred wen.

Two eggs for each person, one chicken leg for each person, and the rest of the meat is a bowl for five people.

The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were each rewarded with one tael of silver, and Liang Zhong was rewarded with two taels of silver.To show condolence to these hard-working people in the palace.

Once Qiu Yulin's full moon wine is over, the palace has to prepare to welcome the king of Cheyue Kingdom - King Ningzheng.With his daughter, Princess Yuening.

Xu Xiaomi asked Lin Chong to prepare for the reception of King Ning Zheng and Princess Yue Ning in the harem.

In the court hall, Qiu Yongzheng asked Xu Hao to give him a list.The list of outstanding sons from the families of officials above rank five.

Xu Hao went to the Ministry of Officials to check. There are still many outstanding young masters!Headed by Lu Quan, Zhou Kelei, Mu Yuanqing, Wu Qian, these court officials.

Every family has at least one descendant, among them, Wu Yang from Wu Qian's family is the most outstanding.

Xu Hao showed Qiu Yongzheng the list he found, and Qiu Yongzheng saw that there were only five of them.

He looked at the list and wrote it very carefully: Wu Yang - the second son of Wu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, aged seventeen, handsome and well-educated.

Lu Yun - the second son of General Lu Quan, aged seventeen.The third son - Lu Jie is fifteen years old, first-class in appearance, excellent in martial arts, and a general!

Mu Ke - the second son of General Mu Yuanqing, aged eighteen, proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts.The appearance is first-class.

Zhou Chao, the second son of General Zhou Kelei, is sixteen years old.

After watching it, Qiu Yongzheng said with a smile, "Yes! Very good, but there seems to be one person missing."

Xu Hao looked at his brother-in-law suspiciously, with that dark smile, he already shouted in his heart: No!

I saw that Qiu Yongzheng picked up the desk case, dipped the brush on the inkstone in ink, and added a line at the end of the list: Xu Hao—the only younger brother of the present princess.The future uncle of the country has an excellent appearance.Both civil and military.

Xu Hao looked at his brother-in-law, and added his own name to the greeting card. When he accompanied him on the list, his face turned red up to the neck.

The eighth day of April is the fifth day of Qiu Yulin's full moon.

Early in the morning, Qiu Yongzheng took Xu Hao along with the young talents on the list who greeted and accompanied him.Each of them rode a tall horse and rushed to the post house outside the capital city that received foreign envoys.

Originally, Xu Hao didn't know how to ride a horse very much, he was a real scholar with no strength to restrain himself.

However, since Xu Xiaomi asked him to learn martial arts from Xiaobailong, and let Xiaobailong drop by to teach him some simple spells.When he is alone, he can fly over walls.

Therefore, riding a horse is really not difficult for him now.

The seven of them came to the door of the post house together.Steward Wu, who was guarding the hall, came out of the hall to greet him with three helpers.

"Humble staff, see His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

"Free gift!"

"Steward Wu! Excuse me? King Ningzheng of Cheyue Kingdom, and his daughter Princess Yuening, have you arrived yet?"

Qiu Yongzheng politely asked Wu Xue, the steward of the posthouse.

"Back to the crown prince! King Ningzheng and Princess Yuening of Cheyue Kingdom arrived at the post house at You hour last night. The humble staff arranged them in the second courtyard." Wu Xue said.

"Okay! I'm sorry! Please take us in!" Qiu Yongzheng said.

"Follow Yi's decree! Please, the crown prince! Please, my lords!"

Wu Xue made a gesture of please and walked ahead to lead the way, followed by the seven of them.

In fact, Qiu Yongzheng, the crown prince, could not go to receive envoys from small countries like this.

However, when he recalled that year, he was kidnapped by Che Yue Guoshi and tortured for several months.I couldn't help but want to see, what kind of coward was the then weak leader of Cheyue Kingdom?

Therefore, he discussed with his father, wanting to have a sneak peek at the "grace" of the king of Cheyue Kingdom!
All of them walked to the post house, and then entered the main hall entrance of the main courtyard.Wu Xue sang loudly to the door: "His Royal Highness, and the six adults are here!"

At this time, Qiu Yongzheng had already stepped into the threshold of the main hall.

I saw a person walking towards him from inside, wearing a crimson shirt made of unidentifiable material, and a white beanie hat with bright red pearls on the brim of the hat, the size of his index finger.

He has a dark complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a Chinese character face, with a short beard and looks very handsome. He is a man in his forties.

He was holding one in his hand. He was wearing colorful dresses, sheepskin boots, and a colorful beanie on his head. The brim of the hat was still inlaid with a ring of pink pearls.There is also a snow-white feather stuck on the left side of the hat.

A charming woman with picturesque eyebrows, a face like a peach, and lips like petals.

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Qiu Yongzheng, he took the girl's right hand to touch her left chest, and bowed his head to Qiu Yongzheng and his party.

"I am Cheyue Kingdom, King Ning Zheng, Ke Batu! Bring your beloved daughter, Yue Ning! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qiu Yongzheng glanced at their father and daughter, and thought: This man looks wrong too!Why was it controlled by that fellow Tuba a few years ago?And almost took his own life.

This daughter is also born well, she and Xu Hao are really talented and beautiful, a perfect match!

Ningzheng Wang Kebatu saw Qiu Yongzheng looking at his daughter.I thought to myself: It seems that with Yuening's beauty, there is hope to be the future queen of the Zhou Dynasty.

And Yue Ning looked up, the group of people who came to pick up their father and daughter were all young and handsome young men.

Among them, a young man dressed in moon-white cloud brocade and a white jade crown on his head is the most handsome.

Qiu Yongzheng saw that the charming Yue Ning looked behind him, turned his head to look, and saw his brother-in-law--Xu Hao, who was being looked at by the little girl, his face was red and his head was lowered!

He thought to himself: Xu Hao is the most handsome among the seven of them.The age is also about the same size as this princess Yue Ning.

Looking at this moment again, the bold Yue Ning looked at him without turning his eyes.It is estimated that he has fallen in love with this kid.

Ningzheng Wang Kebatu saw his daughter still looking at the handsome boy behind Qiu Yongzheng.

Hastily stretched out her hand to pull Yue Ning beside her, only then did Yue Ning bow her head shyly, consciously losing her composure.

Qiu Yongzheng smiled busyly, and introduced every man behind him to King Ningzheng and his daughter.

"Ah! Ha! King Ningzheng, let me introduce you alone! This young and promising young man is the second son of Mr. Wu's family——Wu Yang.

He is an excellent talent of my great week, and he is rich in learning! "
