Xu Mingyi made a movement on his hand, and then, as usual, he pulled up the car curtain and got off the car.
She looked at the girl standing seven or eight steps away, and saw her blessing: "I have seen your royal highness."
Princess Yongjia looked at the people standing in front of the sedan from top to bottom.
Her eyebrows and eyes are particularly beautiful. Her nose and lips are like cloud crow hair, which makes her face more and more white and delicate. However, her posture is tall and graceful, like a blooming green lotus, with a tough and calm feeling in contradiction with her delicate appearance.
And these two temperaments are mixed together, on the contrary
On the contrary, it makes people feel more and more uncomfortable!
Princess Yongjia unconsciously clenched her fingers half hidden in her sleeves.
I didn't think much before. I looked carefully and found out how the people in front of me looked and how they were out of the way - what heroine who cared about the world and saved the people from water and fire... In her opinion, she clearly had a fox face!
If not, how can you hook your brother's heart to her!
A cool breeze swept through her ears. Princess Yongjia suddenly spilled an unidentified smile between her lips and teeth: "I don't know which Lady this is? How can I report her family name?"
Xu Mingyi raised his eyes slightly and looked at each other calmly.
The little girl is so interesting that she pretends not to recognize her here.
Why are you sure it's fake?
——Although the two did not officially meet after she was awarded the title of princess, they had met as early as last year when the other party went to Beijing to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Even at the flower party at the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of rites, the other party had talked to her.
Not to mention anything else, at least her face is still unforgettable?
Miss Xu always has great confidence in her face.
What's more, the acting skills of the little girl in front of her are not very clever.
However, it's common for the little girl's family to be more competitive and think carefully out of strange vanity to appear noble enough - after all, who hasn't had any water in her brain, and she's also from that age.
Xu Mingyi thought very easygoing and not half angry: "the minister's daughter's surname is Xu, and the ancestor of the family is the king of Dongyang."
Princess Yongjia said leisurely, "I said, it's Dongyang palace. No wonder."
He said in a slightly cool tone: "I've always heard recently that after the Xu family became king, there is no difference in the limelight in Beijing. No one can compare it. Only when I saw Miss Xu today did I know that the rumor is true."
Xu Mingyi smiled and asked calmly, "I don't know what the princess meant. Can it be that the word 'limelight' was written on her face?"
Princess Yongjia sneered, "isn't it written clearly, otherwise how can you see this palace without kneeling down?"
Kneel down?
Xu Mingyi looked at the girl with apricot eyes slightly rising.
It's not impossible.
The other party is today's princess. It's a rule to kneel down as she is now.
But now it's either an important occasion, or just a line of gong'e's internal warden, who did not kneel down. At this time, the other party publicly blamed her for not kneeling down, and specially mentioned that her Xu family is too popular now, as if if she didn't kneel, it would prove that the Xu family is arrogant and arrogant——
This is obviously deliberately making things difficult.
If it's still vanity, it's not very cute.
She will never let an unlovable child go.
On one side, the steward of Shoukang palace frowned quickly - what is the princess doing?
The imperial decree of marriage has been made. Miss Xu now has the identity of future crown princess. Isn't the princess trying to embarrass Miss Xu?
Is there something wrong with the holiday?
"Why, does Miss Xu think the palace can't afford to kneel like you?" Princess Yongjia stared at Xu Mingyi and couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes with a smile.
Today, she wants to let the other party know what is honor and inferiority——
No matter how beautiful the other party can be, as long as her surname is Xie, she must kneel for convenience.
Future Princess?
They all said it was the future, not yet.
Besides, who can say what will happen in the future? It is unknown whether the crown princess will be seated by another person!
Before she came, she didn't carefully plan what to do - just the complex emotions in her heart made all her words and deeds affected by the emotions. It seemed that only by pressing the other party's head at this time could she prove that she was the most noble and superior one, so that she could reluctantly calm her inner jealousy.
Xu Mingyi replied, "the princess is supposed to be worthy."
Normally?
Princess Yongjia frowned.
Only listening to the tone of the other person is very relaxed and very friendly: "but I am not feeling well today. I really don't want to kneel.
This is her truth.
I don't want to kneel during this trip.
Princess Yongjia smiled angrily. She just felt that the people in front of her were too arrogant and presumptuous. When she was about to say more, she only heard the voice of the head maid of Shoukang palace, reminding her: "Princess Xu didn't know that her majesty had a special Oracle before. The king of Dongyang and Miss Xu didn't have to kneel down and worship, and gave the inner palace the system of riding in a sedan chair."
Such special permission has long been preceded by the king of Dingnan, and the king of Dongyang had the privilege of entering the palace when he was still the Duke of the town.
The Xu family got all this by their own skills, so... Miss Xu really has the right to see the mood and bow down. This is a relatively euphemism, leaving enough dignity for the princess's ignorance.
"..." Princess Yongjia's face stagnated for a moment when she heard the speech, and there was a mixture of red and white.
My father allowed the Xu family to come here?!
Looking at the calm girl and the maid in charge of Shoukang palace, Princess Yongjia only felt a burning sensation on her face.
Xu Mingyi was too lazy to take the initiative to help her build the steps. He only said, "I dare not let the Empress Dowager wait for a long time, so I took the first step."
Shoukang palace was right in front of her, and she no longer took the sedan chair.
Princess Yongjia bit her back teeth in the same place. She was not only annoyed that she hit her foot, but also felt that the other party's attitude of disapproval was too obvious.
"Princess, do we... Want to go back?" when Xu Mingyi and his party walked away, a maid whispered in Mizhou dialect.
"Go back where!" Princess Yongjia turned her head and stared at the maid.
She obviously came to Shoukang palace. If she went back at this time, wouldn't Xu Mingyi be more proud!
Those who watched her out of the palace must laugh at her and run away!
Princess Yongjia turned and went to Shoukang palace.
"... you're here. Come and sit here! I asked them to make some snacks you like early in the morning, including date cake and honey cake..."
"Try some of all kinds. Don't eat too much. We should have lunch later. Take some back to Mrs. Shizi when we leave..."
"Chunbai, go and pound a pot of challenge tea. Remember to put more fragrant Su in it, so that the girl won't have any appetite for lunch!"
The Empress Dowager confessed with a smile.
The mammy called Chunbai came down and smiled out of the inner hall. She was meeting Princess Yongjia who came to the curtain.
Mother Chunbai saluted.
Princess Yongjia nodded to her as gently as possible.
But the heart is like a thorn.
Mother Chunbai is an old man in Shoukang palace. Now she is in charge of the whole Shoukang palace. She should be polite when she sees her on weekdays, but her imperial grandmother asked her to challenge tea for Xu Mingyi at this time?
She didn't even know that mother Chunbai was good at beating tea
At this time, gong'e had passed through.
"Sang'er is coming too?" the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "call someone in quickly."
Here, too?
Xu Mingyi carefully tasted the meaning of this remark.
Therefore, Princess Yongjia came uninvited.
And it's not time to say hello when it's near noon.
And just a moment earlier or a step later, "just in time" stopped her sedan chair.
The little girl
It's strange that I'm willing to put my mind on her.
So she was right not to kneel.
In the face of people who deliberately want to make things difficult, it's useless to do anything. It's better to ask yourself to follow your heart and make the other party angry by yourself.
Xu Mingyi had a resolution in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face.
Princess Yongjia came in to salute. The Empress Dowager waved to her, smiled and said, "sang'er came just in time. This is Miss Xu from Dongyang palace. Have you met your future sister-in-law?"
Princess Yongjia nodded, looked at her with a smile, looked at her Xu Mingyi and said, "yes, I've just seen it."
Just met?
Then why not come in together and in order?
The Empress Dowager smiled: "sang'er, sit down and try these snacks. The pot has just started in the small kitchen."
Princess Yongjia answered "yes", but she was gnashing her teeth in her heart - what did she do with the snacks specially prepared for others?
The Empress Dowager asked about the recent affairs of the Dongyang palace, from Cui to Xu Ming, and then to Tianmu. In the end, I get along day and night in Linyuan city. I have a common temperament. I can't help but treat it as my younger generation.
Xu Mingyi answered one by one, picking some interesting things at home to coax the old man out of his mouth.
While the Empress Dowager was in a happy mood, she didn't ignore Princess Yongjia sitting aside. She smiled and suggested, "the queen is inevitably boring in the palace alone. Speaking, you can invite the aristocratic wife to enter the palace, talk and learn from the horse sling..."
Her daughter-in-law is always bored in the Yukun palace. She doesn't say a few words to everyone. Dingchen is busy with state affairs and has no time to take care of it. She is always bored. Don't be bored. What's wrong.
Make friends, hang horses and eat more sugar. How comfortable are you?
"Yes, the granddaughter will pass it on to the empress." Princess Yongjia has a mixed feeling in her heart - is the Empress Dowager implying that the Empress Dowager is not good at communication and can't bear the responsibility and dignity of being a queen?
She knew that her mother's appearance would inevitably attract dissatisfaction everywhere
After entering Beijing for a long time, when she was nervous, she would burst out of Mizhou dialect. However, when she saw those ladies, she would always be nervous for more than 800 times a day. As a dignified queen, I don't know why she always looks like she has no confidence!
It's hard to say, as if the Queen's throne was stolen by her. I'm afraid I'll reveal it if I'm careless!
Princess Yongjia was filled with anger.
"Empress dowager, your Highness the prince has arrived." gong'e walked in briskly but steadily.
Princess Yongjia was shocked at the sound.
"Ah yuan?" the empress dowager, holding a bowl of tea, said with a smile, "Why are you willing to come to the mourning house today? Look, you are too busy to care about other things. The news is very well informed..."
Princess Yongjia could hardly help frowning.
The young man strode in with permission.
He was dressed in a dark blue long gown with a coil collar and narrow sleeves. The chest, back and left and right shoulders were woven with gold thread. He was tied with a jade belt, stepped on Xuan boots, bent over and raised his hand to salute the Empress Dowager.
"My grandson has seen grandma Huang."
The Empress Dowager smiled and raised her hand. The tall and straight young man straightened up. Xu Mingyi and Princess Yongjia also got up and saluted him.
"I have seen your Highness the prince."
"Yongjia has seen his brother."
Princess Yongjia was a little nervous.
This was the first time she had seen her brother since she saw him in the prince's house that day.
However, in his sight, he nodded as usual without any difference.
She was secretly relieved. It seemed that her brother didn't really care about that day. It was about calming down.
However, in the next moment, in her eyes, she saw him looking at the person beside the empress dowager, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face. A pair of alienated eyebrows and eyes were spread out on the night like stars, making the night cold and silent.
For the first time
Princess Yongjia straightened her mouth.
This is the first time she has seen her brother smile like this.
"It's a coincidence that you're about to set the meal. It's smelling the smell of rice..." the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "then add a double bowl of chopsticks. I don't have one next to Shoukang palace. It's enough to feed you monkeys."
Wu Chiu replied with a smile, "yes, it's better for the grandson to obey."
According to the Empress Dowager's intention, there was no outsider around, and there was no seat for her family.
Four people sit around and share lunch.
In the dining room, Xie Wukang sandwiched the fish in front of him, picked the belly of the fish, raised his hand and sent it to Xu Mingyi's bowl, saying, "try this steamed osmanthus fish, which should suit your appetite."
Xu Mingyi tasted it, smiled and nodded, "well, it's delicious."
Xie Wukang smiled and dialed another piece for her. She robbed the cloth maid's job.
Princess Yongjia has no appetite at all.
I haven't been married yet, so I don't avoid suspicion!
And in front of the Queen's grandmother——
Thinking that the elders would feel wrong, Princess Yongjia looked at the empress dowager, but saw that the old man smiled so that his eyes were gone and his mouth could not close, as if she had eaten her favorite pine nut candy.
"It's delicious and often comes." the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "fish are available every day."
Children eat fish, she eats sugar, how good!
A meal is very pleasant, at least on the surface.
Just as they put down their dishes and chopsticks, they suddenly heard the palace people singing outside the hall: "the emperor has arrived -"
With the singing, soon a tall bright yellow figure came in.
Xie Wukang, several people got up and saluted.
The Empress Dowager said, "you're late."
Emperor Zhaozhen looked at the table and said with a smile, "my son has just used it. I'm here to see my mother."
The Empress Dowager glanced at her son - come to see her at this hour? It's just that my son and daughter-in-law are all here, Baba running to join the fun.
Emperor Zhaozhen smiled tacitly at his mother.
When the two children are alone, he certainly won't get in the way, but isn't there still a mother, so he won't be one more.
Don't you just rely on the excitement at home to deal with state affairs all day?
Emperor Zhaozhen relaxed and sat down on the arhat bed. The palace people quickly removed the table and brought hot tea.
Emperor Zhaozhen, with a cup of tea in his hand, chattered about his family routine and mentioned the autumn hunting ten days later.
"... then Zhaozhao will go with him." he said with a smile, "maybe he can get the first prize!"
Let those ministers see the power of his daughter-in-law!
Xu Mingyi answered with a smile.
"Father, I want to go too!" Princess Yongjia said by the way.
