Chapter 75 The Ancient Control Group
The main seat in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, Emperor Jianming and Concubine Shu have already driven back to the palace,
Situ Zhou always smiled when he saw everyone, like a spring breeze, the smile was hidden in the corners of his brows and eyes, which could not be ignored by others.Everyone only felt that the sixth prince was in high spirits on happy occasions, and treated others more gently than usual.
The third prince was a little jealous that the sixth son was valued by his father recently, but now he raised his eyebrows, he, the sixth younger brother, really fell into the love of his sons and daughters.
The fourth prince also said politely, "Congratulations."
Seeing this, the oldest eldest prince recalled that he was not so young and happy when he got married. He and the eldest prince have always had a good relationship.Same.
Due to various reasons, the princes did not embarrass Lao Liu too much or deliberately drink alcohol on this happy day.
Even the princes were like this, and the others didn't dare to go too far in toasting. On the contrary, Xiao Shilang was surrounded by people, toasting wine glass after glass. Some were eager to please, and some were envious and jealous.
When Si Tuzhou finished the banquet and returned to the new house, his fair and handsome face was stained a little blush, and he couldn't tell whether it was drunk or happy.
"You don't need to guard here anymore." Si Tuzhou waved his hand and told everyone inside and outside the new house to retreat.Although this is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, but in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, His Highness' words are the rules.
Seeing that all the hostesses and maidservants had retreated, Yan Zhao's eyes lit up slightly, and she was finally liberated, who was carrying at least a dozen catties of luxurious costumes and jewels.
She had already removed these hairpins and jewelry, as well as the heavy wedding dress, but there were still people watching, so she had to endure it.
The beads on the phoenix crown swayed slightly due to the movement of her getting up, which seemed to be a bit lonely, Si Tuzhou smiled and said, "I'll help you."
Yan Zhaogang wanted to say that she can handle it by herself without help, but she was slapped in the face.
Accidentally, a blue thread got caught on the crown and got entangled with the tassel, Yan Zhao couldn't help hissing.
Seeing her 'gracious' movement of taking off the phoenix crown, abruptly tore off a few strands of hair, she didn't feel distressed, but Si Tuzhou felt distressed when she saw it, "I'll do it."
Si Tuzhou's slender and white hands with distinct bony joints landed on her black hair, carefully untied the tangle, and took off the fringed pearls in her hair.Sure enough, it is always quicker to solve the problem if someone helps. After a while, Yan Zhao felt relaxed all over.
Even if the waiters have all left, the room is also equipped with bathing, changing clothes and toiletries.After washing off the makeup on his face, Yan Zhao thought that there was still something unfinished, as if there was still a glass of wine.
Yan Zhao seems to regard this big wedding as an important task, and has been preparing for several months, so naturally he wants to call it a day.
The wedding candle on the table was still burning, and there were two glasses of wine beside it. Yan Zhao wanted to taste the wine, but Si Tuzhou stopped him.
He looked slightly weird, and blushed with embarrassment, "A little deer blood has been added to this wine, which doesn't hurt the body, but it has a little aphrodisiac effect."
It is impossible for this Dunlun gift to be completely respectful of the rules, otherwise there would not be some knowledge about avoiding fires and teaching personnel.This Hejiu wine was prepared by the people in the palace, and it was also a hint to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and give birth to heirs.
Yan Zhao was stunned, the royal family had gone so far as to give birth.
Naturally, this hentai wine should not be drunk, otherwise it would be uncomfortable even if one could bear it.Seeing the change of expression on Yan Zhao's face, Si Tuzhou chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the heir, the brothers don't have any sons yet, it's not our turn to worry, we will go laterThe fiefdom, and no one will urge you."
In the end, on the wedding night, she naturally slept under the quilt.
Not to mention that Yan Zhao's body is only sixteen years old, and his development is not yet fully developed. Similarly, Si Tuzhou is also ready to slowly develop a relationship for a long time.
Yan Zhaoyuan thought that she would be a little uncomfortable with being alone beside her pillow or staying in a strange place, but she accidentally closed her eyes and felt the faint sandalwood fragrance from Si Tuzhou next to her, and fell asleep soon after, having a good night's dreamsweet.
Opening his eyes, looking at the brocade curtain of the big red cloud on the top, Yan Zhao was in a daze for a while, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Turning his head again, he met a pair of beautiful eyes, which were extraordinarily bright and gentle, Si Tuzhou didn't know when he woke up.Could it be that she got up late, when Yan Zhao hugged the quilt and was about to get up, he felt a slight pain in the scalp being pulled, and couldn't help muttering, "Hair, you are pressing my hair"
Even the ambiguous atmosphere collapsed at this moment.
Situ Zhou sat up, seemingly at a loss, "Does it hurt?"
Suddenly, sleeping alone becomes sleeping with two, and there will still be some problems.Yan Zhao didn't know how he fell asleep, so he rolled into Si Tuzhou's arms, and even his long hair entangled him.
Si Tuzhou said that the warm and fragrant nephrite is really reluctant to let go.
On the first morning after His Highness got married, the servants of the Sixth Prince's Mansion saw how much the Sixth Prince's concubine was favored. His Highness personally helped her change clothes, chose the clothes and jewelry for entering the palace, and even dressed the prince and concubine., all staring at the side, even the maid in charge of dressing was afraid that if she shook her hand, it would make His Highness unhappy.
Si Tuzhou whispered to Yan Zhao in private, "I know my concubine's taste. She doesn't like the weak willows and the wind, the charming ones."
Because that is the representative style of Concubine Rong who once competed with her the most for favor.Hate always lasts longer than love, so even though Concubine Rong has become her defeat and died in the cold palace early, Concubine Shu is still unforgettable.
Even eating is talking and laughing, and don't care about the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping.
As for the cronies around the sixth prince, it's not surprising that they saw how much their master missed the prince and concubine.
After breakfast, the two of them had to enter the palace to salute Emperor Jianming and Concubine Shu, and then they had to go to the Ancestral Temple to be registered, which was officially recorded on the royal jade plate.
Emperor Jianming probably had a gentle attitude towards this new daughter-in-law for the sake of his marriage gift, so he encouraged Lao Liu to do a good job and spread the leaves early, and rewarded a lot of things as usual.
Here in the harem,
Fortunately, Yan Zhao's current mother-in-law, Concubine Shu, is the number one person in the harem in terms of status and power, so she doesn't need to visit other concubines except Concubine Shu, but many concubines take the initiative to come to Chongyang Palace to meet newcomers.
The eldest prince's birth mother passed away early, and only a talented person was chased after him. The fourth prince's mother and concubine is one of the four concubines, Concubine Jing. Heard that she has been bedridden for many years, she came out this time on a rare occasion and gave Yan Zhao a set of clothesHaozhu made a face-to-face ceremony, and only sat down for a while before resigning.
The mother concubine of the seventh prince is a beauty of a different race, and the other concubines also have their own beauty and charm.
Sure enough, being an emperor is a joy.
Concubine and above are basically given a meeting gift, and as a serious mother-in-law, Concubine Shu is even more generous, with eight-treasure glass hairpins, flying phoenix emerald jade hairpins, and pairs of mutton fat jade bracelets that the Queen Mother once rewarded when she was there.The agate bergamot bracelet and the double-weighted rose adornment are rare items, and even the third prince and concubine sitting beside him couldn't help being jealous when they saw them.
After all, Concubine Shu Gui still had thorns in her heart, and she didn't want to be seen as a joke at this time.
After going around the Ancestral Temple, went back to the Chongyang Palace and sat down, just in time to have lunch with Concubine Shu.
Before Yan Zhaocheng got married, she also heard from her mother-in-law that it was customary for a newlywed to serve her mother-in-law, but before she got up, the third prince and concubine had already rushed to show it.Just now, the generous rewards given by the mother and concubine made her a little uneasy. Could it be that she, a noble daughter of a family, can't compare with the sixth daughter-in-law of a small family.
The third prince and concubine smiled and said, "My siblings don't know what my mother and concubine like to eat, so let me come, and my siblings can learn more."
Yan Zhao is also happy to be at ease, it's not good if he doesn't have to serve people for dinner.Moreover, the cook in Chongyang Palace is really not ordinary, Yan Zhao couldn't help but want Si Tuzhou to dig a corner.She didn't need to dig all of them, she would be very satisfied if she could have one or two.After all, she is not like Concubine Shu, who has more than 30 meals for a meal, and everything is rich and delicate.
Concubine Shu looked indifferent and didn't say anything.
After eating and washing her mouth and hands, Concubine Shu said lightly, "The third daughter-in-law is a virtuous woman, and she should take good care of her husband on weekdays. The third son is busy with court affairs, so you should pay more attention to his body. In addition, thisThe palace also hopes that you can make the prince's mansion prosperous. Next year's general election for ladies, the harem does not plan to enter, but His Majesty also intends to point out some side concubines and concubines to the princes, you should make preparations first."
The third prince's concubine's face was slightly stiff, and she reluctantly complied.
Concubine Shu felt that it was enough to save face, because the third child wanted to win over the power of the aristocratic family, and she hadn't been to the concubine's house much after three years of marriage, and she also wanted to give birth to an eldest grandson for His Majesty, but the third concubine's belly was not good.It is used in China, but there is no news for a long time.Even if she is not in a hurry, His Majesty will not be happy.
Concubine Shu finished talking about the third daughter-in-law, and it was the sixth daughter-in-law's turn, but as soon as she saw her, she noticed the smiling sixth daughter-in-law beside her, and she felt inexplicably heartbroken.
Concubine Shu had no intention of accepting concubines and concubines for her son at all. She had been rejected too much in those years, and she didn't even want to mention it.If the sixth child wants it, he can just mention it by himself, she doesn't want to bother.
In the end, he just said dryly, "Take good care of your body, take care of the prince's mansion, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible."
For some reason, Concubine Shu went into the palace to change her clothes, and when she came out, she seemed to be in a bad mood, and she waved her hand to send Yan Zhao and the third concubine to go out for a stroll in the imperial garden, leaving the sixth prince alone as if she had something to say.
In normal times, the third concubine would definitely take care of her husband. After all, if she wants to win that position, the support of Concubine Shu is also very important.What's more, they are all the sons of Concubine Shu, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. It would be bad if Concubine Shu prefers the youngest son.
But just now heard that people will enter the mansion next year, and the third concubine was just upset, so she didn't care so much.
Not only His Majesty and Concubine Shu are beating, but even Wang's side, seeing that she has not been pregnant for a long time, has proposed several times to send a collateral woman here, so that they can give birth to a child as soon as possible, and then let her adopt it. also know that the third prince will definitely agree.
For the cooperation between the third prince and the aristocratic family, a single prince and concubine is not enough. There must be an heir of the Wang family's blood, so that the aristocratic family can bet on the third prince.
But she is not the worst, at least there is Langya Wang behind her, who has won three years for her.
As for the sixth prince and concubine, the mansion will usher in a newcomer in less than a year, and her natal family is powerless. If she is again favored by the side concubine and concubine, she doesn't know how she will live in the prince's mansion in the future.
Sometimes people just want to see others have a worse life, so that they can be more psychologically balanced.
Yan Zhao was admiring the scenery of the imperial garden, and inexplicably met the sympathetic gaze of the third princess,
She sighed, "Siblings and sisters have listened to what mother and concubine said just now. In next year's ladies' election, no prince's mansion will be left behind. You and the sixth younger brother are newlyweds, so someone will intervene..."
Yan Zhao didn't know what to say, so he acted shyly.I thought to myself, next year, they will probably have gone to fiefdom by then, what does the matter of Capital City have to do with them.
On the other side, in the inner hall of Chongyang Palace, the people from the left and right palaces have been retreated,
The cause was an old nanny next to Concubine Shu, just looking at the sixth prince's eyebrows and eyes and walking behavior with a little greenness, at first I thought I was wrong, but after the concubine sent the sixth prince and his wife After staying there, he observed carefully, and then carefully reported to the imperial concubine.
When Concubine Shu heard this, her face changed slightly, and she did not doubt the truth of what she said. This nun is an old man in the palace, and she is very good at women, so she can tell if she is consummated or not.
Could it be that the sixth child has some unspeakable secrets?
Although most of the prince's mansions are sent by the palace, they have been sorted out by the sixth son, and even Concubine Shu can't get in.
Only then did Concubine Shugui leave the sixth child alone, and asked about it implicitly.
However, Si Tuzhou answered very frankly, saying that premature consummation is not good for the health of both men and women.
The corners of Concubine Shu's eyes twitched, and she was dubious about her son's words. She is almost 20 and still not a womanizer. I'm afraid there is something wrong with that. No wonder she would ask to marry the daughter of a small official. She probably thinks it's easy to handle.
I didn't see that girl didn't feel a little bit wrong, she even ate delicious food, if it was another girl, even if she didn't dare to say it, she could only force her face to laugh.
Si Tuzhou was telling the truth, but she couldn't stop Concubine Shu from thinking about it on her own. In the end, she thought that it was only for her son's sake, she pondered and said, "For next year's lady election, I will recommend it to your majesty.It's about the rookie."
Si Tuzhou also guessed what the concubine mother was thinking, but it was difficult to explain, and with the concubine mother's help, it would save a lot of trouble.
For example, Si Tuzhou can also reject other women, but in terms of experience in dealing with the emperor, he is definitely not as good as Gongdou who has been playing Concubine Shu for many years, so he simply acquiesced.
