232 new year(2/2)
As soon as he was dressed, Ye Minwen's nanny carried him in to pay New Year's greetings to the prince and princess. Yulan took out the purse he had prepared and rewarded him. Ye Minwen took it and couldn't open his beautiful phoenix eyes. Yulan
He smiled and asked: "When did Wang Ye and Wen'er rest last night?"
Ye Yichen said: "Chou Chu!"
Yu Lan was speechless. Seeing that the prince was quite energetic, but Ye Minwen was still young and had a lot of sleep, so he told the nanny: "You can go back and catch up on some sleep with the young master in your arms later!"
The nanny agreed. Yulan left Qian's mother to take care of the three-quarter acre of land at home, took Xiaoyue Xiaoyu and followed Ye Yichen to the Babao Huagai Car.
When the carriage arrived in front of the Meridian Gate, Ye Yichen gave Yulan a few words, got off the car and rode to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to meet the emperor and the prince. Yulan then went to Kunning Palace to meet the queen.
The Queen has not been enthroned yet, so all the ladies, both inside and outside, have to wait outside Kunning Palace. The weather in the twelfth lunar month is no joke, and those who can enter the palace to congratulate the Queen are all the top nobles of Da Chu, so
At this time, the palace would set up tents to protect against the wind and snow.
When Yu Lan entered the tent, she found that they were all acquaintances. Almost all the important members of the royal family, including Princess Qingjiang and Princess Yanqing, were here, but Xiao Yunqian was missing.
It seems that she arrived late. Yulan couldn't help but sweat slightly!
Fortunately, her man had a high status, and she also had a high status. People with high status were often the last ones to appear, so Yulan could only comfort herself in this way.
When everyone saw Princess Jin coming, they all stepped forward to say hello. During this period, Yulan had attended many social occasions, greeting her with courtesy, greetings, saying hello, and chatting with everyone.
Although she is young, Ye Yichen is of high seniority, and because of her noble status, most people want to pay New Year's greetings to her.
After a while, everyone came, but Xiao Yunqian was not seen. Yulan guessed that it was probably because Xiao Yunqian did such a stupid thing and offended the Xiao family and King Zhao, so King Zhao and Concubine Xiao did not allow her to come.
Out for a walk.
A group of noble ladies gathered together and talked about their parents' quarrels, and everyone couldn't help but gossip. After listening to a few words, Yu Lan found that they talked about the prince and King Zhao's children the most.
"The two highnesses are also very interesting. Either they don't have one, or they both have one, and both of them are pregnant..."
Yulan was listening with great interest when suddenly Princess Qingjiang came up and joked: "The prince and King Zhao both have children. When will my sister-in-law and my sixteenth brother give me a nephew?"
When Princess Qingjiang said this, several respectable princesses, princesses, and county owners who could usually talk to Yulan started joking.
"Yeah yeah!"
"We've been married for almost half a year, and there's still no news?"
Yu Lan's pretty face turned red as everyone talked about it. Whether the child will come or not depends on fate. You see, the prince has hit the mark a few times. Zhang Liangyuan got pregnant after only a few moments with him, but as for herself, she is the only favorite in the house.
Ye Yichen is very energetic and never looks at other women, but after being married for more than half a year, there is still no movement in his stomach.
Just when Yulan couldn't explain herself, a chamberlain accompanied a smiling face into the tent and said: "Dear ladies, the Queen has been promoted to the throne. Please go and congratulate her!"
After some negotiation, Yu Lan had the most honorable status here, so she took the lead, and everyone filed into Kunning Palace to give the Queen a big gift and wish her New Year's greetings.
Because there were many worshipers behind me, in order to save time, I kowtowed and said auspicious words together before leaving.
At this time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in front, the civil and military ministers, princes and nobles were bowing to the emperor. There was another seat under the emperor's throne. Sitting there was a man wearing an apricot yellow robe and a golden crown with twelve east beads on his head.
Prince.
The prince's complexion was pale, the bags under his eyes were dark, and he looked like he had drunk too much. Although he tried hard to hide it, he could not hide the excitement on his face.
After the Taishan earthquake, rumors about the prince's destiny had already reached his ears. How could he not be excited and excited?
Ye Yichen started, followed by Zhao Wang Ye Minyu, Lu Wang Ye Minzhao, Prince Ye Fengqi, Yanqing County Prince and other royal family members. The emperor asked him to come along to receive the gift at the New Year's Ceremony, but it was the first time in so many years.
This time, the prince saw so many noble ministers kneeling at his feet, and he was so excited that his blood almost spurted out of his chest!
Ye Yichen, Ye Minyu, and Ye Minzhao knelt on the ground, with disdainful looks flashing in their eyes.
Kowtow to the emperor three times and kowtow nine times; to kowtow to the prince, kneel down four times.
After the ceremony was completed, the emperor announced that the prince would preside over this year's heaven-sacrifice ceremony. "My dear father, I thank you for your trust!" The prince's voice trembled when he knelt down to receive the order.
As soon as Yulan left Kunning Palace, a chamberlain came over and said with a smile: "Mrs. Anguo, please stay. The Queen will hold a banquet at Qinghua Tower later. Please go to the side hall with the servants and rest first!"
The ladies nearby who were not invited all looked envious. Yulan knew that this was a common method used by the royal family to win over important ministers to show grace, but she would rather not have this honor. It would be great to go home and have a hot meal. The Queen's Banquet
It's really not interesting at all.
Yu Lan said "Thank you" and followed the chamberlain. He went to the side hall to rest for a while. After all the congratulatory ladies from home and abroad had finished paying their respects, it was almost time for lunch. The chamberlain led Yu Lan to the Qinghua Tower. There were already some people there.
internal and external destiny
The woman waiting here was either a high-ranking noble, or the man was the emperor's confidant. Young Yulan had to greet everyone one by one. Not long after she sat down, the queen came in with the Crown Princess, Concubine Xiao, Concubine Hui and other high-ranking concubines.
.
This is the first time Yulan has seen Yuxin in so many days. She is pale and has lost a lot of weight. She was already thin, but now she is even skinnier. Fortunately, she seems to be in good spirits.
.
Yulan felt sour, but this was not the place to talk, so she could only express with her eyes. Yuxin was also looking for her when she came in. Their eyes met in mid-air, and they separated again after a moment.
After the ceremony, the queen sat down in the middle. After some polite words, the banquet officially began. Yulan sat very close to the queen, and Concubine Xiao sat on the right side of the queen, and could see clearly. The prince returned.
In addition, Xiao Yunqian was banned and could not attend the New Year's Palace Banquet. This was not a small blow to Concubine Xiao, but Concubine Xiao didn't show any signs of it on her face and still sat there gracefully.
There is not a single fault in his demeanor and manner.
Yulan couldn't help but secretly admire him.
Concubine Hui was still as charming as ever, with a spring-like expression. When Yulan was toasting, she even pulled Yulan to drink an extra glass. Although it was fruit wine, after Yulan finished drinking it, she felt very superior, sitting on
I felt tired again there, and I wished I could fall asleep right away.
Qiang Zi persisted and finally waited for the palace banquet to be over and everyone to leave. When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, Ye Yichen dispersed earlier than she did. Yulan stepped on the footstool and got into the car, so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.
After saying a few words to Ye Yichen about the palace banquet, she lay in his arms and fell asleep.
Ye Yichen's face was heavy, and he could tell that something was wrong with Yulan.
Ye Yichen quickly took off his cloak and put it on Yulan to prevent her from catching cold outside. With a command, the coachman hurriedly hit the horse and ran forward. The coachman was also a veteran, and his skills were very good. The carriage drove quickly and steadily, and by the second
Before Yu Lan woke up from the door, Ye Yichen opened the door and drove directly to the main courtyard gate.
Qian's mother was originally waiting at the second door, but was shocked when she saw Yulan coming back like this.
The carriage stopped in front of the main courtyard. Yulan hadn't woken up yet. Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu were both a little anxious. Ye Yichen asked someone to bring a thick quilt and directly carried Yulan into the house.
Maybe it was because Ye Yichen was a little wobbly when he walked. He just got off the carriage and walked a few steps when Yulan woke up. Unexpectedly, he found that he was wrapped like a rice dumpling. Yulan was surprised. Could it be that he met Kou on the way?
Was the sack robbed?
Something was wrong at first glance. Why did the robber look so familiar? Isn’t he Ye Yichen? Looking next to him, he saw a group of maids and servants with their heads lowered. No one dared to take a look at them.
It took Yulan a long time to react.
Yulan said lazily: "Your Majesty, what are you..." What kind of fun are you playing?
Ye Yichen said softly: "You fell asleep in the car just now. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't expect that I would wake you up!"
Yu Lan found that although all the maids and servants did not dare to raise their eyes to peek, they were all listening with their ears closed, and her face suddenly turned red like a cooked shrimp.
Yu Lan struggled and said: "Your Majesty, I can leave, please let me down quickly!" It's too shameful, okay, I can't do it!
