Chapter 593 Tea Respect
"You are also a princess, and the princess is also a princess. A Xun, a prince, has no lower status than me in the court. Could it be that you really plan to let the two children kneel down in front of you and kowtow to you?" King Xiang mocked.
Although this is the case, the national etiquette is the same, so is it true that the family etiquette is ignored?
Concubine Xiang was about to speak when Concubine Yu smiled and said, "My lord's words are reasonable. Although the eldest son is a junior, how have we elders done anything for the eldest son? It's good if you don't hold back. Let the princess respect this cup of tea."
King Xiang was very happy when he heard that, he didn't look at Princess Xiang's dark face at all, and said with admiration, "Your words are reasonable, you are the most sensible day by day."
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Naturally, the lord usually puts this on his lips, and the concubines are pigs, so they should understand."
Is this scolding Princess Xiang for being so stupid that she is worse than a pig? Princess Xiang was trembling with anger, but it was not good to lose face in front of Xie Zhiwei, and said to King Xiang, "My lord, since you are going to enter the palace, you should enter as soon as possible! The princess and the eldest son got up so late, and my family doesn't care about it. Going to the Fengxian Hall to offer incense and pay homage to the ancestors, if you go late, you will make people laugh."
King Xiang was very upset when he heard that, "Who dares to make a joke?"
He turned to Xiao Xun and said, "If anyone dares to make a joke, you can say that the father went to bed late. Let's see who dares to talk too much in front of this king?"
Xie Zhiwei had already seen all the people in the room calmly. She had done her homework before passing the door. Naturally, she could tell who was who at a glance. The gift that was originally intended to recognize her relatives was changed because of this incident. , I couldn't get it out anymore, so I had to plan to give a few uncles and aunts a share when I came back from the palace.
Xiao Ke hugged a pug and sat beside him peacefully. No matter how the elders fought with each other, he stroked the dog's long hair, bowed his head and said a few words to the dog from time to time, " Dudu, shall we go shopping in a while? Was the bone that the little sister gave you last time delicious?"
Xiao Lingsu combed two buns, with an ordinary palace flower hanging on each side. I don't know if the maid who dressed up for her didn't care, or she herself hadn't been trained. Inconsistent, one light pink and one dark red, she was wearing an emerald green beanie, and she looked like a gaudy peony, which made her feel happy.
Xiao Lingyu came from Concubine Ma, she was very well dressed, sitting under Xiao Lingsu, when Xie Zhiwei looked at her, she raised her head and looked at Xie Zhiwei, and smiled, the smile didn't reach her eyes, she compared Xie Zhiwei is a little older, so he doesn't take Xie Zhiwei, the elder sister-in-law, seriously.
It was Xie Lingjing, who was born by Concubine Yu, sitting on a chair, with her short legs not touching the ground, she didn't know what to think, and ran towards Xie Zhiwei, Fushen said, "Sister-in-law, you were so beautiful yesterday."
Xie Zhi smiled, "Did you see me yesterday?"
"I hid by the door and took a peek. I wanted to go in and talk to my sister-in-law, but I didn't dare to go. I was laughed at by Yue'er." As she spoke, she pointed to the youngest Xiao Lingyue.
Suddenly being named, Xiao Lingyue was taken aback. She looked at Xie Zhiwei blankly, hesitated for a while, and came over to salute Xie Zhiwei, "Sister-in-law!"
Xiao Xun really liked hearing the word "sister-in-law" and was overjoyed. He said to Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyue, "There are rewards, and I will go to my servant Mohen to receive the rewards!"
Xie Zhiwei stopped him, and said with a smile, "There's no reason to ask your servant for a reward? When I come back from the palace, you can go to Ninghui Hall to play with me."
"Really? Is it possible?" Xiao Lingyu was flattered and seemed extremely excited.
Xie Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Of course!"
In the Qingshou Palace, because of Xiao Xun's big wedding, the Empress Dowager did not go to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha in the first half of this year as in previous years.
Today is the day when Xiao Xun led his bride into the palace. The Empress Dowager got up just after Maoshi, and Madam Hu persuaded him that His Royal Highness Chen Wang didn't get up so early, and he wanted to enter the palace from outside, but Chenshi must not be able to come in. Yes, but the empress dowager insisted on getting up.
"How long have I been looking forward to a day?" The empress dowager sat in front of the mirror, picking hairpin jewelry, picking them over and over again, for some reason, tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
After drinking a bowl of milk and using some custard, the empress dowager sat on the arhat bed and waited. After a while, she heard that Yuan Jia and Linghua had arrived. After thinking about it, the empress dowager let her two granddaughters in.
Yuanjia and Linghua knew that Xiao Xun and his wife were going to enter the palace to kowtow to the Empress Dowager today, so they came here early and waited. The Empress Dowager was not as affectionate to her granddaughters as other old ladies.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall is not very good, Mother Hu said without words, "The two princesses went out of the palace to watch the ceremony yesterday? Why don't you tell the empress dowager about it? It should be very lively, right?"
Yuan Jia and Linghua let you talk, and I talk. In order to make the empress dowager happy, the two talked like lotus flowers. For a while, they talked about how beautiful Xie Zhiwei was in wedding clothes. Jia was deceived, and when it came to entering the bridal chamber, what Xiao Xun did.
Linghua said, "Grandmother doesn't know, brother Wuhuang actually got little sister Wei drunk and ate the rouge off her mouth..."
Before she finished speaking, the whole hall of celebrating the birthday was full of laughter. The empress dowager burst into laughter, rubbed her belly, and cursed, "This hozen!"
I don't know if he is scolding Xiao Xun or Linghua?
The little **** outside the palace gate trotted in, "Empress Dowager, Prince Chen and Princess Chen are here!"
"Quick, please come in!" The empress dowager stood up excitedly, looking straight out of the door.
Xiao Xun wore a bright red satin brocade gown with a round neck and wide sleeves and a sunflower pattern, and a white jade belt around his waist. Xie Zhiwei wore a bright red tapestry with a hundred patterns of cotton trousers, and underneath was a pink satin skirt with a gold thread and a hundred butterflies. The same bright eyes and white teeth, endowed with the appearance of a man and woman, as if walking out of a painting.
Yuanjia and Linghua also stood up, watching Xie Zhiwei come in, the nanny had already taken the mat, Xiao Xun took Xie Zhiwei's hand, and knelt down in front of the empress dowager, wanting to kowtow.
The empress dowager hurriedly wanted to help Xiao Xun up, "Don't be too polite..."
Nurse Hu stopped the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, today's ceremony cannot be avoided!"
The maids in the palace served tea, Xie Zhiwei knelt on the mat, took the tea with both hands, raised it above his head to respect the Empress Dowager, and shouted, "Grandmother please drink tea!"
"Oh, my good granddaughter-in-law, get up, get up!" The empress dowager had tears in her eyes, took the tea cup, and took a sip. It seemed that the tea was different from the past, much sweeter.
She sighed contentedly, took a red seal from Nanny Hu and handed it to Xie Zhiwei, "Good boy, get up quickly, stop kneeling! I don't have so many etiquettes here."
Xiao Xun pulled Xie Zhiwei up, and instead of plopping down on the empress dowager's arhat bed like before, he sat down on a chair on the side in an orderly manner.
