Chapter 594 Palace Banquet

The empress dowager saw it in her eyes, she was happy and disappointed at the same time, and asked, "Where did you two come from? Didn't your father take you to the temple to worship the ancestors?"

Xiao Xun said, "Father is coming soon, let's wait here for a while."

After a while, even the emperor came together, two brothers, one in front of the other, you ignored me, and I ignored you. It was not until the empress dowager that King Xiang complained, "Mother, brother is really interesting. You actually want your minister to take Ah Xun and his wife to Fengxian Palace alone."

The empress dowager laughed angrily, and said to the emperor, "Why don't Ai's family take the two of them to Fengxian Hall to sacrifice to the ancestors, and Ah Xun married a wife?"

Under the double oppression of his mother and brother, the emperor had no choice but to swallow his anger, "Mother, my son was not feeling well last night, but today he is a little better. He didn't even go to court early in the morning, so he was pulled up by the fourth son, my son But after complaining a few words, he really has a lot to say."

"Queen Mother, Brother Huang is despising me."

The emperor was so angry that he said to King Xiang, "Shut up!"

"Mother, you have to live two more years. If you go west, the emperor will definitely not keep your son for the New Year..."

Seeing that the emperor's face was getting darker and darker, the empress dowager coaxed King Xiang in front of his daughter-in-law again, "Okay, okay, just stop saying a few words, why are you angry with your emperor brother all day long? He is also Now that Wangsi is gone, you are not afraid to make him angry."

"Arrogance, it's less than ten years!" King Xiang swung his sleeves, twisted his fat body, and cast a provocative glance at the emperor.

The emperor pretended not to see it, sat on a chair, waited for Xiao Xun and Xie Zhiwei to salute him, then got up, and a group of people walked towards Fengxian Hall in a mighty manner.

In the Fengxian Hall, the ancestors of the Xiao family are enshrined, dating back to the great-grandfather of the Emperor Taizu. Even so, there are only a few rows of tablets, which are undoubtedly too thin compared to the densely packed tablets of the Xie family. It's a little bit darker, but it doesn't show the thickness of the royal majesty.

Xie Zhiwei kowtowed in front of the ancestors one by one with Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun's heart was very heavy, Xie Zhiwei did not see the tablet of Emperor Zhaoyang, she gently shook Xiao Xun's hand, the husband and wife looked at each other, Both saw comfort in each other's eyes.

The Empress Dowager ordered a banquet to be held in the Qingshou Palace. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so interested, the Emperor naturally would not object, so he ordered someone to invite the Empress. After a while, Concubine Yun also came. He laughed and said, "The queen mother is too partial, isn't the eldest prince the queen mother's grandson?"

The empress dowager was happy, and then she remembered that her three grandchildren were also married, and the new daughter-in-law hadn't seen her yet, so she waved her hand, "Then let's call in and have fun. Today, our family will have a lively meal." A reunion dinner."

It was clear that Princess Xiang and the others didn't come, but Lord Xiang was so happy that he was so busy, asking Buddha to jump over the wall for a while, and asking for a dish of sweet and sour pork. body.

Xiao Xun has been paying attention to Xie Zhiwei. Xie Zhiwei holds the Eighth Prince in his arms. The Eighth Prince is a small person. He is about to turn one year old. He is still very thin. He has been taking medicine since he fell to the ground, and he only has a pair of dark eyes. , extremely energetic, grabbed Xie Zhiwei's thumb and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Xiao Ba, at such a young age, you want to take advantage of my wife, don't you?" Xiao Xun looked extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba couldn't understand, just looked at Xiao Xun, kicking his two short legs, Giggling, smiling a bit shyly.

The queen couldn't help laughing, and scolded Xiao Xun with a smile, "Then there is someone like you as an elder brother?"

Xiao Xun turned a deaf ear to it, and only thought that if he and Mei Mei had a child, Mei Mei would love their child very much, and hugged her like this. When he came back from his busy work every day, he looked very warm.

The eldest prince came with Jiang Yijun, the second prince and the Cui family came in one after the other, the third prince was alone, and the fourth prince brought Xue Wanqing.

The empress dowager didn't know her daughter-in-law other than Xie Zhiwei at all. Although the empress was surprised, she was not born by herself, and she didn't bother to care about it. Concubine Yun, because she didn't know Xue Wanqing, thought it was the fourth concubine, so she said, "Fourth son Daughter-in-law, sit here!"

Xue Wanqing didn't care, and took herself as if she were the main wife, and sat at Cui's lower head.

Xie Zhi frowned slightly, she didn't bother to say anything, and didn't raise her head. After a while, her arms were sore from hugging Xiao Ba, and she smiled, "Mother, Xiao Ba must have eaten a lot, and his hands are a little heavy."

The queen likes to hear this. Although her little Ba is thin, she is still in good spirits. She motioned for the wet nurse to take it, and said to Xie Zhiwei, "You can take his pulse later, he eats a lot now, and he can also eat porridge After eating, I don’t like drinking water much…”

Before the queen finished speaking, Xue Wanqing took over the conversation, "Empress, you need to feed children regularly and quantitatively. You should set the time, when to drink water, when to eat, and when to sleep. Scientific feeding must be done. "

No one in the hall knew what science was. The empress was very upset when the conversation was robbed. Only in front of the empress dowager, she held back and did not speak.

The empress dowager narrowed her eyes and glanced at Xue Wanqing, then turned her head and said to the empress, "You told me before, whose girl did the fourth son marry?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine said that the fourth son married a girl from the Hai family, but this is not the fourth son's main concubine, but a concubine."

The empress dowager lived in the palace all her life. I heard that the prince brought his side concubine into the palace. I want to make a big fuss about this.

Xiao Changxuan said with a smile, "Queen, Qing'er is quick-witted, knowledgeable about the past and the present, and she has never made a mistake in her words."

Xiao Changxuan came back from the south just before Xiao Xun's big wedding. Following Xue Wanqing's instructions, he got a good thing, and he just waited to present it on the Longevity Day to please the emperor.

In Qing'er's words, if that kind of thing can be widely planted in the future, Dayong will truly be able to achieve "no hunger in a prosperous age, so why bother farming".

As long as he thinks that such a great Yong was created by himself, Xiao Changxuan will be full of confidence, and will speak for Xue Wanqing regardless of the occasion.

Xue Wanqing smiled slightly, showing a calm demeanor. The queen gave her a faint look, but didn't speak.

Xie Zhiwei hurriedly got up, but the Empress Dowager stopped her, "Today we only talk about family etiquette, not national etiquette. You are a new daughter-in-law, and you will grow up in three days. You sit with me and let them go."

The second update!
