A Thousand Hills

Chapter 126

When Empress Dowager Hu was in Da'an, the official day for the canonization of the East Palace also arrived. On the day of canonization, the fifth prince Xie Moru got up in the early morning and entered the palace to participate in the canonization ceremony.The pair of the second prince and the second concubine simply stayed up all night. The second concubine recited Buddha in her heart in the morning. Her canonization ceremony is in the harem, so please pray that Queen Mother Hu will not be hysterical today, and she will not be looking for Xie Moru again. Bodhisattva bless you , It’s good to spend it safely.

The husband and wife packed up properly, and when the time came, the second prince first went to Zhaode Hall to meet his father.

The second concubine is temporarily in the East Palace.

In another line, the fifth prince and his wife arrived at the gate of the palace, and the fifth prince told his wife, "Don't say anything, it will be done in a day, and we will have dinner together when we get home at night." Reason, that is.Seeing that the fourth prince and his party had also arrived, the fifth prince entrusted the fourth concubine, "Sisao, take care of your younger siblings more. She is straightforward and always has something to say, so I will entrust her to the fourth sister-in-law."

Hu smiled, "Success, Fifth Highness, just hand over the siblings to me."

The fourth prince was about to make fun of the fifth prince, but the third prince and the eldest prince had arrived. The eldest prince always thought that the fourth prince and the fifth prince were not pleasing to the eye, but the third prince had always been kind and said with a smile, "What are the fourth and fifth brothers talking about? so lively."

The brothers greeted each other, and the fourth prince smiled, "I was just about to say, but the fifth brother is so long-winded, he is reluctant to part with the fifth younger brother and sister."

The third prince also laughed, "Fifth brother, just rest assured, on such a big day, their sisters-in-law will be together and take care of each other, nothing will happen."

The eldest prince said casually, "Fifth brother, you are also worrying blindly. The temperament of the fifth brother and sister is that she is the only one who bullies others and no one bullies her. You should worry about it." yes.

When Xie Moru heard this, he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, so he asked, "Why, His Highness said this, who did you see me bully?"

The eldest prince was startled, but Xie Moru heard what he said. He had long disliked Xie Moru's temper, and said, "Look, you are a sister-in-law, how can you talk to your uncle like that?"

"I talk to His Majesty the same way, and I talk to the Empress Dowager in the same way. What's different about His Majesty, how can I talk to you?" Xie Moru said, "However, His Majesty told me, don't you often Are you talking about other brothers and daughters-in-law in private like this? I don't mind, anyway, there are quite a few people talking about me in this imperial capital. If it's another sister-in-law, Your Highness, you have to be careful. Your status is not suitable. "

After Xie Moru finished speaking, he dragged Mrs. Hu to the harem, Mrs. Cui took a look at her husband, turned around and left with Mrs. Chu.The eldest prince turned his head and said to his three younger brothers, "Look, look, what's this, what is this? I'm just joking!"

The third prince and the fourth prince didn't speak, the two of them had to avoid suspicion, fearing that if they opened their mouths, they would become the kind of people Xie Moru said, "talking about brothers and daughters-in-law".The fifth prince said to the eldest prince, "Brother, as an uncle, it is really not easy to talk about your brother's wife. My daughter-in-law is straightforward, and her heart is always for the sake of you, brother, you can change it."

The fourth prince asked in a down-to-earth manner, "Brother, you didn't mention my wife, did you?"

The eldest prince said angrily, "Is that kind of person?"

The Fifth Prince said, "Brother, you are not, we are all blind and deaf." He brushed off his clothes and cupped his hands, "The Ministry of Rites is busy today, my brother is going to see how they are preparing." I made an appointment with the Minister of Rites yesterday Alright, the two of you have to meet today, don't be foolproof.

The fifth prince walked away, and the eldest prince confessed to the third and fourth princes all the way. He was careless in his words today, but he didn't say anything about other brothers and daughters-in-law in private.Besides, was he wrong? The old fifth daughter-in-law, a rascal, met his uncle early in the morning. Instead of saying hello, she sent a message first, right?This kind of spilled goods owes the Queen Mother to clean up!

Cui Shi explained a few words to Xie Moru on the way, Xie Moru smiled, "I don't get along with my sister-in-law for a day or two, and we know everything about her character." I didn't blame Cui Shi, but I didn't blame her either. Say something nice about the First Prince.

In fact, the fifth prince was too worried. Empress Dowager Hu had already received her daughter’s instruction not to say a word to Xie Moru today. Empress Dowager Hu refused to accept it first. Princess Wenkang said, "If she makes a fuss, it will be the palace that makes people laugh. It's the crown prince, but today is the title of the Eastern Palace. If the Queen Mother is not afraid that the Eastern Palace canonization is not decent, just look for her."

Empress Dowager Hu did it for the East Palace, so she pretended not to see Xie Moru.Xie Moru doesn't love the Queen Mother Hu, and they live in peace with each other.When the crown princess came to receive the gold seal and gold book, she went back to the East Palace to sit down. Among the princesses, the Cui family was the leader, and among the princesses was Princess Ningrong. .

Stay together and salute together, thank you Mo Ru they are together with the prince and concubine, and there is still a seat in the East Palace to talk with the prince and concubine.Everyone was just saying congratulations, the Crown Princess Wu wore a bright yellow phoenix embroidered costume, her brows were full of vigor, she always treated people peacefully, she smiled, "It's nothing more than a change of residence, let's go on as usual. "

No one is so stupid as to take Wu Shi's words seriously. Cui Shi is the eldest sister-in-law, she said first, "Your Majesty is gentle, our family is close, but we dare not violate national etiquette."

Chu smiled, "Sister-in-law said yes, but in the past, when entering the palace, it was nothing more than going to the Palace of Mercy to pay respects to the emperor's grandmother. Now that the empress is here, we have another place to go."

Wu smiled kindly, "Just come, we're still talking and joking together."

Everyone made fun of gossip, and the noon banquet arrived, and Mrs. Wu took the main seat. Everyone ate and talked together. There was no Empress Dowager Hu's dizziness from time to time, and the atmosphere was much better than in the Palace of Mercy. Everyone felt relaxed, thinking about After the crown prince ascends the throne, it is everyone's blessing to have a mother of a country with a normal IQ like Wu.

In short, although this day was a bit busy, everything was done properly, and everyone praised it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the first grand ceremony since Emperor Mu Yuan ascended the throne.Even the prince and princess concubine and his wife, even if they were busy from early morning to late at night, were willing to work on it.

The fifth prince was exhausted, he had his own seat, and he still had to keep in mind the same process of the ceremony, for fear that something would be inappropriate, or that there would be an official business trip or something, so he was really worried all day , After this day passed safely, the fifth prince said to his wife at night, "The East Palace is so busy, in the future..." It would be too disrespectful to say that in the future, his father was very kind to him, the fifth prince stopped talking, and let The servant girl was taking care of soaking her feet to relieve fatigue, while asking Xie Moru, "Your place is going well."

"It's nothing, the princess is fine." Xie Moru said, "It's rare for such a big banquet, the food on our table is also fresh and hot, the taste is exquisite, and it can be eaten, it can be seen It's really hard work."

The Fifth Prince said, "This is the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you can't taste the food on the table, what kind of table do you have for the servants? People complain about it in private. Even if you don't enter the palace just to eat a meal , but in this cold day, there is nothing edible, so it’s outrageous. He understands that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing well.”

Both the husband and wife were tired, so after a few words, they went to bed and rested.It was time to go to bed, and the fifth prince remembered and said to his wife, "You said, I never thought that elder brother was such an old man before."

Xie Moru said, "Take care of him. It's rare to be narrow-minded to such an extent. You go up and ask for a crown prince. I have scanned the face of Duke Zhao's mansion. He doesn't know how he can speak ill of us at home."

The fifth prince said, "Actually, elder brother gave me and fourth brother several times in private."

"Why don't you tell me, I want to know, I can't just say a few words about him today."

The fifth prince rejoiced, alas, fortunately I didn't tell my daughter-in-law at the beginning, otherwise my daughter-in-law would have to go up and slap the elder brothers in order to vent my anger on me.The fifth prince is a kind person, and said, "That's not what I thought before, he is the elder brother, we are the younger brothers, and the fourth brother and I also know that he is not very proud now, so it's fine. I don't want him to go too far, and say Get up."

"He, he is nothing more than jealous of the Second Prince becoming a prince."

The fifth prince thought that his eldest brother was also worried, and said, "I will have dreams when I come here. Hey, I don't want to say this. Let's talk about it in private. If outsiders say the same, it will be difficult for the elder brother in the future. Don't look at the elder brother." , Also look at sister-in-law and nephews and nieces."

"That's true." The two stopped talking.

The eldest prince was still angry when he came home at night, and thanked Mo Ru with his wife, "This is a rascal! It's lawless!"

Cui's heart was not happy either, she helped the eldest prince to change clothes and wash up and said, "If it's another matter, I must say it's that person's fault. What happened today, what I saw with my own eyes, Your Highness often talks about the temperament of the fifth younger brother and sister at home. No, why are you still talking about her in her face? You are an elder brother-in-law, and the fifth sibling is a brother-in-law. Don't say that His Highness is the first to speak up and say that people are unreasonable. It's just a step back, you It's reasonable, but His Highness won't please you about arguing with your brother and daughter-in-law. You can pay attention to it in the future, and just talk at home. If you talk about it directly in front of others, as long as they are not deaf or dumb , how can we not make a sound."

The eldest prince took the towel from Cui Shi and wiped his face, and said, "The fifth one is also a muddleheaded one, so he only knows to speak in favor of Xie Shi."

Cui Shi said, "Comparing your heart with your heart, if someone says something wrong about me in front of Your Highness, will Your Highness defend me?"

The eldest prince still wanted to talk, Cui Shi pushed him on the bed and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness isn't tired after a day of tossing around."

"Tired." The First Prince yawned listlessly, "Go to sleep."

The eldest prince thinks he is quite reasonable, but what he did, even his mother told him about it, saying that he was dizzy, "an uncle and a sister-in-law, even if they meet occasionally, they are just polite and just treat each other Avoid it, why do you talk so much about the old fifth daughter-in-law? What is it like? It's just that she has something wrong. You and the fifth prince can just say a half sentence tactfully, but you can just talk to the fifth prince The woman is bickering?"

The eldest prince argued that he said it casually, and said, "My son is just joking, how can I expect the fifth daughter-in-law to take it seriously."

"You are an uncle, you are going to make fun of your brothers and daughters-in-law? Show me some respect! It's just that there are too few things!" Concubine Zhao didn't like Xie Moru either, but Concubine Zhao had a clearer mind than her son, Concubine Zhao said, " Prince Jingjiang's first visit to the imperial capital, His Majesty intends to keep him to stay longer. The prince is very polite to Prince Jingjiang, but the prince is in the palace, and he only sees Prince Jingjiang occasionally. You are very close to Prince Jingjiang when you are outside the palace Some would be better."

When his mother said that, the eldest prince knew what his father meant, and the eldest prince immediately agreed.

The eldest prince is about to have more contacts with the Jingjiang prince, he doesn't want the second child, a traitor, to go to the East Palace to become the prince, and the third child is not easy to entangle, he was talking, laughing, and interacting with the Jingjiang prince earlier.I hate the eldest prince: I don't have a good thing for my brother!
