The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 462 Extra Story: The Emperor’s Wedding (6)
The day of the little emperor's wedding happened to be a fine day, with crisp autumn air and no clouds in the sky.In the morning, the magpies on the sycamore tree in the yard of Mingdetang kept chirping.

Zhao Jing put on the imperial princess costume, with the eight-treasure glazed phoenix hairpin on her head.Because of the emperor's big wedding, all the officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court had to enter the palace to receive the banquet, so Xu Si'an also got up early in the morning.At this time, the servant girl had already helped him put on the python robe of a second-rank military marquis, and was waiting for Zhao Jing to go out in the hall.

This is the second time for Zhao Jing to wear the costume of the eldest princess. The last time she went to the palace for the canonization ceremony after the two children were full moon, worshiped the Taimiao, and went to the Jade Spy.Xu Si'an saw Zhao Jing's slim figure through the curtain.She is already a mother of two children, and it is rare that she still maintains such a figure. After carefully savoring the situation of hugging her hard last night, Xu Si'an immediately felt refreshed and became more radiant.

However, Zhao Jing was a little helpless. Master Hou was young and energetic, and he would come here once or twice almost every night. After a month, she could only rest for a few days when she came to Guishui.Sometimes the children are noisy at night. She takes care of the older ones and also takes care of the younger ones. It is really miserable.

Lu Wu covered Zhao Jing's eyelids with some face powder, and seeing Xu Si'an still waiting outside the door, she whispered: "Ma'am, the dark circles under my eyes can only cover this, Master Hou is still waiting outside, otherwise Let's do it!"

Zhao Jing still felt angry after thinking about it, and told Xu Si'an last night that she had to go to the palace early this morning and rest earlier.The two went to bed early, but they couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. The two tossed and turned on the bed, and when the thunder struck the ground, the fire was lit again.

Called the water twice more... Really.

"Don't worry, I won't delay the time to enter the palace. The old lady hasn't sent anyone to Cui yet!" Zhao Jing saw Xu Si'an standing behind the curtain from the mirror on the dressing table, and said angrily.

Unexpectedly, Xu Si'an met that gaze, and smiled at her shamelessly, as if to say: Madam, dress up slowly, don't worry about your husband.

Zhao Jing cast an angry look at him, leaned over to the mirror and looked at it, and saw that the bruises under her eyelids could no longer be covered, so she sighed and said, "That's all, that's it!"

The three people from the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion separated when they arrived at the gate of the palace, and Xu Si'an waited in the main hall of the previous dynasty with the officials.Zhao Jing led Mrs. Xu to the harem.

There has been no happy event in the palace for a long time, and this time it is the emperor's big wedding. As far as the eye can see, fiery red lanterns are hung on both sides of the palace road like a long dragon, and even the eunuchs and maids who come and go have changed into palaces with brighter colors. Pack.

There are a lot of people here today, and the gate of Shenwu is already full of carriages. Zhao Jing originally thought that she would go to the Yongshou Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, but she didn't know that Fu Manduo was already waiting in the crowd, just waiting for her to come up.

"I thought my aunt would arrive early this morning!" Fu Manduo greeted her with a smile, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had waited for a long time.

Zhao Jing felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened this morning, but Mrs. Xu helped her out: "I'm getting old, if I can't get up, it's too late."

Fu Manduo smiled and said: "It's not too late now, there is still a long time before the phoenix chariot enters the palace, why don't the old lady go to Fengyi Palace with the servant first?"

The queen's bedroom is in the Fengyi Palace. After the phoenix chariot enters the palace, the empress ceremony is first held in the Qiankun Palace, and then she enters the Fengyi Palace to rest and have a big banquet.Therefore, the wives and relatives who entered the palace usually waited in Fengyi Palace.

Besides, among the wives entering the palace, there are many elderly people like Mrs. Xu, so the Fengyi Palace has already arranged a banquet for everyone to sit first and wait.

Zhao Jing and Mrs. Xu went to Fengyi Palace together, and the wives and grandmas from several families came to welcome them.Zhao Jing saw Liu Qingyan talking in the crowd, she didn't see her when she entered the palace last time, only then did she notice that her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, it seemed that she was already several months pregnant.

Seeing Zhao Jing coming, Liu Qingyan bid farewell to those people and walked over, first saluted Mrs. Xu, then kissed Zhao Jing, but was stopped by her.

"I heard that you are pregnant a long time ago, and I just want to take time to see you."

Liu Qingyan's cheeks were slightly flushed when she heard the words, and she whispered: "I was uncomfortable a while ago, and the weather was hot, so I stayed in the other courtyard until the Mid-Autumn Festival and didn't come back. You won't see me when you come here."

She now has a faint smile on her face, which is a bit prettier than before when her brows were tightly furrowed.She was originally a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she married the young uncle Tanhualang. She was supposed to be the happiest, but she didn't want to take a detour in the middle, and almost ruined a good marriage.
