Chapter 1422: The Beauties of King Sheng's Mansion
The snow was falling so hard that people who had to get up early in previous years got up even earlier this year to clear the snow.
The overwhelming white indicates that this year is a good year, and such a good omen makes everyone smile.
Especially the Qin family, he hadn't closed his mouth in the morning.
The subordinates and guards of the Shengwang Mansion were also very happy, and their smiling faces were related to the red seal of the New Year given by their own princess. With the red seal, the people of the Shengwang Mansion are full of energy to sweep the snow, and they just want to sweep the snow as soon as possible, and when the princes, princes, and princes of the various provinces come to pay New Year's greetings, they can compare with the guards and subordinates they brought to see who has the most red seals.
In the crackling sound of firecrackers, after eating the New Year's dumplings, Qin took Xiaocao back to the house on Yannan Street, waiting for the people who came to pay New Year's greetings.
When they went out, they walked through the side gate of Shengwang's Mansion, because the main gate of Shengwang's Mansion had been blocked by people who came to pay New Year's greetings, and this battle was similar to rushing to the temple fair.
Xiaocao lifted the curtain and glanced out, "How tired my sister is this year." ”
As Xiaocao said, unlike last year's New Year, when she was in the house, Xiao Nuan was tired this year. The princesses and little princes of various provinces were dazzled by her, and their cheeks hurt with laughter.
Seeing that Xiao Nuan was tired, the concubine said to Hua Yu, "Let's go here, go to the front yard and tell Yan Sheng, you don't have to go to the inner courtyard to get the rest." ”
Xiao Nuan immediately collapsed beside her mother, "Mother, are you tired too?" ”
The noble concubine smiled and helped her remove a few heavy golden hairpins on her head. When she was in the palace, she had to go to Cining Palace and Yongfu Palace every New Year to ask for peace, and Taihui and Empress Li would always take the opportunity to pinch her, and it was inevitable that her legs would be bruised and numb when she knelt, and she would have to bear the cold eyes and ridicule of others.
That's all in the past, there's no need to mention it anymore, "Well, let's take a break." Later, Chiba and Lingyu should wake up. ”
The two little ones were woken up by the sound of firecrackers, tossed and fell asleep for a while, and now it was time for them to get up.
Compared with the female relatives who come to pay New Year's greetings from various provinces, Xiao Nuan prefers to watch children.
In the front yard, as soon as the third master sent away Yijihou's father and son, An Guogong brought his children and grandchildren to pay New Year's greetings to the concubine.
Hearing that the noble concubine was tired, An Guogong felt extremely sorry in his heart, he had cleaned his son and grandson so well, how could he not even get a chance to show his face, "Lord, let the two children kowtow to the princess, right?" ”
The third master smiled, "She is taking care of her mother in the inner courtyard, Yingdong and Zhuang Tao have grown taller again, come." ”
The two little guys immediately came to the third master, kowtowed again, and the third master gave the New Year's money and praised a few words. King Sheng praised people very rarely, and when Duke An Guo saw this scene, his mouth couldn't close, and he felt that his children and grandchildren had taken a big step closer to the son-in-law of King Sheng's mansion.
"Lord Wang, have the two little county lords woken up?" I can't see the concubine, so it's good to look at the two little princesses.
The third master turned his head to look at Shuangcheng, and Shuangcheng immediately said, "The two county lords got up early in the morning, and they fell asleep again at this time." ”
It's a pity...... Zhuang Guogong's face was full of regret.
The third master said politely, "Our two mansions are not far away, and we will come back tomorrow to play." ”
When Zhuang Guogong heard this, he deserved to be more diligent than his children and grandchildren, "Good, good!" ”
After Zhuang Guo's grandfather and grandson left, Li Runsheng brought his younger brother and son to pay New Year's greetings. Hearing that the concubine was tired, Li Runsheng had the same regret as Zhuang Guogong, but he buried it deep in his heart and didn't show it on his face.
Li Runsheng is now the head of the household department, and he is an official in the same hall as the third master, but when he saw him, he was more restrained than before, and after a while, he got up and said goodbye, "The lower official is going to pay New Year's greetings to Anren, so I won't bother you here." ”
Hearing that they were going to his mother-in-law, the third master squinted his eyes, it seems that Li Xiran still doesn't give up. So, the third master made up for it, "An Ren is in the house on the street, and she and Xiaocao and her mother were guarding the year last night." ”
King Sheng told him that the people of Qin An were tired, so let them not bother more, Li Runsheng was grateful, "Runsheng understands, he will not disturb the people of An." ”
So, when the Li family's carriage arrived at the Qin'an people's mansion, which was not far from King Sheng's mansion, Li Runsheng told his younger brother and son, "Go in, sit and come out, don't disturb Anren's rest." ”
Li Housheng took his nephew in and walked around, and his nephew got the New Year's money from the people of Qin'an, he gave Xiaocao a big red envelope, and the three of them went to other mansions for a walk around and returned to Li's mansion.
Because of the Chinese New Year, Li Xiran also returned to the city yesterday and rested in the house. Hearing his son say that the Qin family spent last night with the noble concubine, Li Xiran's eyes narrowed dangerously, okay, very good, she really has the noble concubine and everything is enough.
Li Housheng saw his father's displeasure, and said in a low voice, "The concubine is not difficult to get along with, she will definitely not be embarrassed." ”
In his opinion, these were reassuring words, but in Li Xiran's ears, they added fuel to the fire, so Li Xiran smiled, "Not bad." ”
Li Housheng shrank behind his eldest brother, and Li Runsheng also felt that his father's smile was a little infiltrating, and said that he was going to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting, but he slipped away.
The court meeting is a big event, and the third master also went to the palace. After this day, when Xiao Nuan and the concubine were admiring the rhubarb, Chiba and Lingyu wearing the same clothes in the room, the green butterfly rushed to report the good news, "Princess, princess, the third master brought back five Hun beauties, five!" ”
This matter has caused a sensation in the entire capital, and everyone is waiting to see how Chen Xiaonuan of the Shengwang Mansion will deal with these five beauties given by the emperor.
Xiao Nuan's eyes also lit up, "One more?" ”
"Yes!"
The concubine smiled at her daughter-in-law, "The beauty is here, aren't you going to sweep the couch to greet her?" ”
Xiao Nuan smiled and bent her eyes, "It's ready, let them wake up in the Huanyi Courtyard first, and then make arrangements." ”
These beauties came to King Sheng's mansion with the intention of serving the third master and being a concubine for the third master, and saw the appearance of King Sheng, as a woman, how many people were not moved?
They have to be made to recognize the reality, so that they will be on the right track like those beauties who were rewarded in the palace before.
So, after these long-awaited beauties were brought into King Sheng's mansion, they sank into the sea like stones, and there was no more waves. Disappointed, everyone turned their attention to the missions from various countries.
When the Xiongnu mission left in Beijing for two months, with a group of rewards from the Celestial Empire and the half-crippled Xiongnu king, there was still no news from the beauties of the Shengwang Mansion.
After another month, Emperor Xining followed his father's habit and went out of Beijing to the fourth village to persuade farming, and he couldn't help but mention the matter to Xiao Nuan.
Xiao Nuan smiled, "It's coming, it's coming." ”
It seems that the beauty who stayed in King Sheng's Mansion did not cause the dissatisfaction of the third brother and sister, which made Emperor Xining quite curious. The fourth brother didn't even have a concubine, he thought that Chen Xiaonuan was a domineering, but he didn't expect that he was so lenient and sensible as a housewife.
When the pear blossoms were drifting in the snow and the spring was about to be twilight, when Emperor Xining was staring at the eunuchs in the courtyard of the Guangming Palace to pick up the petals on the ground, the news finally came from the Shengwang Mansion: the Hun beauties were taken out of the house by Princess Sheng!
This incident immediately caused a sensation in the capital.
