Chapter 393 Do not wrong my daughter
Jiaojiao pursed her lips, her dark eyes showed no joy, and there was even a hint of sadness in her eyes.
There should be many people attending the banquet in the palace. I still remember the scene when I visited the empress last time.
When encountering noble people in the palace, one should bow down and salute. In short, there are many particularities.
That time, when I met several wives in Fengluan Palace, Sister Murong introduced herself enthusiastically to them. Although everyone had a smile on their faces, they actually looked down on her in their hearts, and they even pretended to ask about her background...
In short, Jiaojiao has been to the palace once and never wants to go again.
She doesn't like scenes where people talk too much, and she doesn't want to deal with people who have different opinions.
Wang Zhuangzhi paid attention to his daughter, seeing Guaibao's wrinkled face, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Jiaojiao wrinkled her little face, what's wrong?"
Bao Ya looked at her younger sister, walked over, hugged her and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao must not like crowded parties, but are you worried?"
Jiaojiao leaned her head on her sister's arm, nodded and said, "There are too many rules in the palace, Jiaojiao doesn't like restraint."
Hearing the reason, Baoya chuckled, "My Jiaojiao is a real person, and others would like to go to the palace to spread the word for a long time, but my Jiaojiao doesn't care to go."
After finishing speaking, Baoya straightened her younger sister's clothes, and coaxed her with a smile: "Baby Bao has been named princess, and I have to go to thank the Queen Mother through the banquet. My sister will accompany you, so I will go."
When Liu Zhihua heard about it, she also came over and said to her daughter: "Your sister is right, we don't go often, we only come here once in a while, and the empress cares about you. Now that my baby has the status of princess again, we can't." No rules."
"Mom, I understand."
Jiaojiao nodded obediently, she didn't like too many rules in the palace, it wasn't that she didn't want to see people, she hadn't seen Sister Murong and Zong'er for a long time, it was not easy to come to Beijing, no matter what, she should visit
"Jiaojiao Baoya, you know a lot, what do we need to prepare for this banquet? And to meet the empress and queen mother, what gifts do we need to prepare?"
Wang Zhuangzhi did business with his brother-in-law, but he met many people. He learned how to be a businessman, and often gave gifts to partners and acquaintances.
But a nobleman in the palace is no better than a businessman. He doesn't know what is particular about the palace, so he is afraid of causing trouble if he prepares hastily.
Jiaojiao showed hesitation, she had never met the Queen Mother, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother liked, so she didn't know what to prepare.
Bao Ya smiled and said: "The queen mother is an elder after all, logically speaking we should prepare some things. The queen mother has never seen any valuables, so let's think about preparing some."
Liu Zhihua also nodded, and said: "It is time to prepare a gift, after all, it is the first time we meet, no matter how valuable it is, it is our heart."
Seeing what everyone said, Wang Zhuangzhi nodded and said, "Okay, Song Dong and I will go and pick some later, prepare some and bring them back, and you can choose one from them."
"That's kind, I happened to take Jiaojiao and Baoya out to buy some clothes. There are many styles of clothing shops in the capital. Now we are also the family members of the champion and the princess, so we should dress carefully and save some money." People underestimate it." Liu Zhihua said with a smile.
Qiusheng walked in, just in time to hear his mother's words, and said, "Mother, the Jinxiu Pavilion, which made clothes last time, remembered the sizes of you, your father and your sister, and will send them every time a new style is on. If you want to wear it now, Just let Xiao Chuan fetch it."
Liu Zhihua heard her son's words, and said with a smile on her face: "I was thinking about that clothing store just now, and the clothes in that clothing store are good. Last time, your mother's suit was given to your Aunt Xiu, and your Aunt Xiu said it was good after talking about it several times. Mother will bring two more sets when she goes home."
Qiu Sheng nodded, "Well, mother, you can take care of the purchase. If you have something to do, just ask the shopkeeper to do it."
Bao Ya walked towards the elder brother with Jiaojiao in his arms, and asked puzzledly: "Brother, you left without eating lunch, did you encounter some urgent matter?"
Qiu Sheng glanced at Jiaojiao subconsciously, thinking of Rong Yan, felt an unexplainable feeling in his heart, pursed his lips and replied: "Well, I went out to do some things."
Recalling what happened today, he still felt a little uneasy, but the fact is that the problem before him was solved within half a day.
All the credit goes to Rong Yan, the national teacher whom he doesn't like.
Jiaojiao sensed the elder brother's gaze, so she could guess that she had something to do with Brother Yan. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, her white and soft hands clasped together and tugged.
The elder brother must be dealing with an urgent matter, and Bao Ya didn't ask any more questions. Feeling that the younger sister is not in a very high spirits, Bao Ya is going to lead the others away.
"Father, mother, brother, let's talk first. Jiaojiao and I still have some work to do, so let's go back to the house first."
Liu Zhihua knew that Guaibao had been wronged today, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Go, let Jianjia bring you some fruits later."
Jiaojiao nodded obediently, and then left with her sister.
Qiu Sheng also noticed the strangeness of the younger sister, and after they left, he asked his parents, "What's wrong with Jiaojiao, why don't you look happy."
Wang Zhuangzhi shook his head and sighed, Liu Zhihua also looked helpless, and said in a low voice: "Jiaojiao likes that national teacher, your father and I made a serious statement, and we will not allow Jiaojiao to meet with that person again, this girl feels sorry for us, so we agreed , I guess I'm not happy."
Qiu Sheng frowned when he heard that, no wonder the younger sister was not as lively as before since he entered the door, and felt distressed immediately.
"Mother, Jiaojiao is still young, just speak slowly, if you say this all of a sudden, Jiaojiao will hurt if she bears too much."
Wang Zhuangzhi was also a little worried when he heard that, clapping his hands and frowning, he said, "His mother, Qiu Sheng is right. Jiaojiao is still young after all, and she has never said a harsh word to her since she was a child. Did I speak too harshly just now?"
Liu Zhihua looked at the suspicious two people, put her hips on her hips and stared at their father and son, and muttered angrily: "It's easy to say, don't you don't want to see the national teacher, it's nothing to procrastinate like this, you have to come sooner." Explain clearly, Jiaojiao will be fine after two days of being sad."
Qiu Sheng hesitated to speak, but he couldn't refute his mother's words.
Indeed, when he saw that the national teacher had that intention, he was angry.
The younger sister who has always been held in the palm of his hand, he is not at ease handing it over to anyone.
He has this mentality because he loves his sister, but now that this kind of love has made her sad, he regrets it a little.
Today is indeed a little irrational. First of all, Jiaojiao is still young, and the master of the country is also a friend who calls himself a friend. If he does not have such a big reaction, welcome people into the house politely and have a cup of tea, and then avoid Jiaojiao and explain the problem clearly in private. , perhaps it is more appropriate than to speak out in person.
Wang Zhuangzhi recalled Jiaojiao's appearance just now, and suddenly realized that her daughter was not as bright and lively as yesterday. When recalling who she was talking to just now, the eleven-year-old white waxy girl's calmness made people feel distressed.
His eyes flickered, and he suddenly regretted it.
Jiaojiao has always been sensible and lively. Even if she has contact with this national teacher, she will not do anything out of line under their noses. Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The national teacher is such a big official. I probably won't see you a few times.
But he used self-righteous care and sternly said so many hurtful things, Jiaojiao didn't refute anything from the beginning to the end, but obediently and sensiblely agreed to their request.
Recalling that Jiaojiao has been in the water for so many years, since she fell into the water at the age of six, her temper has undergone a huge change. Since then, she has never lost her temper, and has always been a filial and obedient temperament. She has helped and supported her family for so many years.
Nowadays, when I was young, I fell in love with a man, and I always smiled when I talked about his good looks, but they were afraid of being laughed at because of the worldly rules.
I think of the scene where Guaibao obediently agrees without crying or fussing.
Wang Zhuangzhi couldn't hold back his tears.
He wiped his tears vigorously with his sleeves, strode towards the door, and said with a choked voice: "Fuck the worldly rules! Jiaojiao can see whoever she wants to see, and do whatever she wants. No one can wrong my daughter! Who would dare?" Talk nonsense and watch me kill him!"
