665 Watches Everywhere
There are three festivals in Northern Tang that are very lively in one year.
One is the Winter Solstice, the other is the Qianqiu of Emperor Mingyuan, and the other is the New Year's Eve.
Before, Yuan Qingling participated in the winter solstice and New Year's Eve. It was not very grand. This was naturally because there was not much money available for expenses. There was no big deal.
This time, Emperor Mingyuan seemed to be trying to cleanse up the humiliation of poverty before and make the Winter Solstice Festival grand and lively. The royal family, senior officials, generals and ministers, and even the marquises of the fiefdom and their families were invited to the palace.
Emperor Mingyuan first accepted a pilgrimage in Qianyuan Hall and then returned to Wanyuan with a group of officials. Wanyuan was very big. He was held between the front hall and the inner courtyard. In the past, he held a large banquet in Wanyuan.
When the prince and the princess arrived, there were already many people gathered in Wanyuan, and the weather was a little colder than before. Therefore, the guests were dressed very grandly and luxuriously.
This time, most young people are because they can bring their families. Many women from aristocratic families bring their children to the palace, just like a large blind date banquet.
The appearance of Yuwenhao and his wife caused a great commotion. The guests' eyes were all focused on Yuan Qingling, but Yuan Qingling would find that it was more focused on Yuwenhao.
Yu Wenhao was dressed more luxuriously today, with a purple-red embroidered four-clawed real dragon brocade wardrobe. He tied his purple-gold jade belt and a golden jade crown around his waist. His face was very clear and firm, and his eyebrows and eyes showed his majesty.
He was born in a military family, with a straight back and a slender figure, showing his tough style while walking. He stopped like a handsome man and was blessed by the crown prince. He was really the focus of the focus.
His limelight suppressed his wife Yuan Qingling. Even though Yuan Qingling was the protagonist, it seemed that he could only be his foil today.
Yuan Qingling took a look today and found that as Princess Ji said, there were many girls on the field with pink bubbles spitting on their eyes, and they wanted to stare at Yu Wenhao.
She sighed quietly in her heart, it was so...slutty, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere.
Yu Wenhao didn't realize this at all. Today he deliberately dressed up because he was so happy today. His wife was so upset that she was so proud.
My heart was so happy that I felt more and more proud, like a stingy rooster who had returned from the battle.
Naturally, Yuan Qingling also gained a lot of attention. A destined woman brought her daughter forward to salute. Yuan Qingling smiled and greeted them whom she didn't know, but she was a little overwhelmed. She has never been a good person at socializing.
Fortunately, Princess Ji knew about her, so she went up to deal with her and took her to Suxin Palace.
Suxin Palace is located on the north corner of Wanyuan, which is relatively quiet. The concubines in the harem are also sitting here for the time being. Princess An and Rong Yue have also come and talk to Princess De Concubine Hu. There are also several wives who were not very much seen by Yuan Qingling and are dressed very luxuriously. Two of them sat next to Princess De. Judging from their appearance, they looked like mother and daughter. After the introduction of Princess Hou De, they realized that they were Princess Weng Jing, the daughter of the eldest princess, and her daughter, the daughter of Roujie.
Yuan Qingling looked at the county lord Roujie for more, after all, Princess Ji said today that Princess Weng Jing’s daughter, Semu Yu and Wen Hao, had to take a few more glances.
The lord county lord has a beautiful appearance and looks delicate and beautiful. He sat there, very dignified and elegant. He was born in a great man and could be seen from his temperament.
Yuan Qingling felt a little relieved. His temperament was here, and he thought he was not the kind of entangled person.
Because Princess Weng Jing is an elder, Yuan Qingling came forward to see her. Princess Weng Jing looked at her with a decent but unfamiliar smile on the corner of her lips, "The crown princess doesn't have to be too polite."
After saying that, Princess Weng Jing turned to look at her daughter, County Lord Roujie.
According to convention, the lord of Rouyi County wanted to polite Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling knew the royal rules and thought it was the case, so he thought to be more friendly, "No need to be polite, just sit there."
Little did he know that County Lord Rouyi had no intention of saluting at all, sat still, lowering his eyes lightly, and didn't even look at her.
This was very embarrassing. The atmosphere became cold. The few destined wives present moved uneasyly. Concubine De was also stunned and looked at Princess Weng Jing, thinking that Princess Weng Jing should have to say a word or two, but Princess Weng Jing just reached out to smooth the silk on her knees. Her expression was the same as that of County Lord Spoken, arrogant and indifferent.
Yuan Qingling hadn't tried such an embarrassing scene yet. Fortunately, Concubine De smoothed out and said with a smile: "It's all my family, so there's no need to be polite. The Crown Princess should sit down."
Concubine Hu also said, "Yes, sit down quickly, thank you for your hard work."
Concubine Hu's belly was very big. She sat on the Arhat's bed and had to lean back to sit comfortably.
After Yuan Qingling took his seat, Concubine De looked at her and praised: "Crown Princess, I didn't expect you to accomplish something that would benefit the country and the people. I really admire your courage. Where can the women in our boudoir in Beijing have such skills?"
Concubine De said this on purpose. She and Yuan Qingling didn't have to be so polite, and she praised her with great fanfare. She said that she would listen to Princess Weng Jing and her daughter.
Concubine Hu also smiled and continued, "Sister Defei is right. The Crown Princess is really capable. It is our women's pride and example."
Yuan Qingling looked at the two of them and felt helpless. They were already embarrassed. They suddenly praised them and seemed even more deliberate. However, Yuan Qingling knew that they were helping him. Besides, Princess Weng Jing and her daughter had nothing to do with her, so naturally they didn't have to pay attention to what they were doing.
Just now, Rong Yue was talking to Princess An, but he didn't notice the embarrassing scene. When he suddenly heard that Concubine Hu and Concubine De praised Yuan Qingling, Rong Yue smiled and said, "Of course, why would the prince love so much?"
Rong Yue just followed the trend and didn't target anyone, but Princess Weng Jing smiled slightly, "Yes, the Crown Princess is indeed a capable person. However, as a royal wife, she can't achieve her skills alone, but she must be virtuous and decent. Now there are not many people around the prince, so the Crown Princess should also find a good look for the crown prince and extend her rebirth for the royal family. This is the right plan."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, her face suddenly became unfavorable. However, with the Empress Nei Ting and other destiny women there, she didn't say anything, but just looked cold and didn't say anything.
Princess Ji smiled and said, "Princess, don't worry about the royal child. The Crown Princess has three children in one child, which is not something ordinary people can do."
Princess Weng Jing looked sarcastic on her face, "Yes, it's not something that ordinary people can do, but the princess is capable and busy, and someone should take care of the prince, right? It's cold and someone urges to add clothes, there's red clothes in his spare time, and the sleeves are fragrant. These should be done by the princess. Otherwise, if there's no one around the prince for a long time, wouldn't it be a crime of being jealous of a savage?"
Are you upset? Are you upset? These are all about going back and forth. Yuan Qingling immediately lost all his good mood, and didn't care about his decent identity. He coldly retorted, "What the princess said is reasonable. I wonder how many beautiful concubines the princess has chosen for the county Ma Master?"
