Chapter 29
In Yu Qing Hall, the Duke and Duchess of England were present.
The Duke of England dispensed with his daughter’s big salute, sat her down, and told her, ”Du Zhi Shen said that Empress Hui recognized you and the Sun family girl as her righteous daughters. His Highness King Yuhang has also asked His Majesty for a favor for you. His Majesty remembered your companionship of the Sixth Princess in the palace, so he had this decree. Xiangmian …… is finally the end of the bitter and sweet, father and mother will prepare a thick dowry for you, so that you can marry into the House of King Yu in style and splendor.”
Rong Xiangmian didn’t care about the scenery. She only knew that Zhou Xian Yang did not dislike her birth mother, and that was enough to make her grateful. She rose and bowed down, “Father and mother’s favor, my daughter will never forget it.”
Liu has already accepted the reality, and is completely unaware of Rong Xiang Yang’s knowledge, still holding a virtuous first-class lady style, smiling at the future Yuhang Consort: “Good child, in the future, when you get married, you can ask Yuhang to help your brothers and brothers-in-law more.”
As soon as these words came out, the Duke of England was not happy: “When she goes to that house, I don’t know how many things to worry about, it’s time for our family to give her less trouble.”
Liu’s face immediately also put down, think the British Lord favor Rong Xiangmian, all because of the love of the horse taming girl’s sake.
Seeing that his parents were at odds, Rong Xiangmian immediately said, “A family of flesh and blood naturally needs to help each other. Yuhang returned to the capital is still shallow, I’m afraid that in the future many things still have to be our State Ducal Palace care.”
These words are to the Duke and Duchess of State to hold comfortable. Yes, they are the British Duke of the House of so few years, and now is both military and civilian, the daughter’s home is also good, and out of a princess, really bitter sweet, unlimited prospects ah!
The wedding date has long been set last year, because Yu Wang’s age is early to the wedding day, so a should be the ceremony of the levy, will be compact arrangements.
Princess is not in the country, the top of the title of the princess Rong Xiangxian see, jumped into the capital of the most noble gold. Before those who sympathized with her as a young lady of the dukes and lords, changed their attitude again.
When they saw her, they bowed positively, but behind their backs, they talked about her, and even King Yu made up a story about her.
“I heard that this title of county princess is a favor that King Yu asked for him.”
“Has King Yu gone out of his mind?”
“I didn’t realize that the hero of the country’s dynasty, a man of iron bones, would also be mesmerized by this bewitching commoner’s daughter.”
Rong Xiangmian was too lazy to go out and participate in any more activities, doing needlework at home every day, wanting to make something with her own hands and bring it to Yü Wang’s residence.
She didn’t realize that Consort Hui had prepared a dowry for each of her and Mingyue, and sent it to the State Duke’s Mansion early, directly from the small eastern door, into Rong Xiangmian’s small courtyard.
When happy events come, they often come in pairs.
The dowry sender handed her a letter from Hsien Yao, saying: the Sixth Princess is pregnant.
Rong Xiangmian was even happier to hear this than she was to be married. When the child was born, she could come back to save her family.
Xiangmian immediately told Linlang to go to the market, bought some things that the child loved to play and use, and also grabbed some medicine to maintain the body. Early in the morning of the second day, with things into the palace to thank the grace.
Huifei not seen for a long time glowing, as if she has seen her daughter with grandchildren home reunion scene.
She was so excited that she left Rong Xiangmian to have lunch and told her, “When a guest comes later, don’t panic, just listen to what he says.”
Rong Xiangmi instantly understood who was coming and bowed her head without saying anything.
Concubine Hui saw that she was a little upset, then said, “I know, after the marriage is finalized, more and more should avoid suspicion, but he pleaded with Princess Shuji, must see you before the wedding. That earnest, Shu Guifei were moved by him, come to me, I think there must be something important, you will meet in my palace, I and Shu Guifei are in, even if someone knows, it’s nothing.”
Rong Xiangxian heard her say this before nodding.
Shortly after the meal, the palace staff passes the message, “Noble Consort Shu and His Highness King Yu have arrived.”
Noble Consort Shu is still outside the palace and is looking for words, “Sister Hui Fei, I heard that the sixth princess is expecting, congratulations!”
In the middle of talking, Shukui Consort has already entered the door, Yuhang follows behind, behind several palace people carrying several large boxes and cages, all placed in the courtyard.
Concubine Hui welcomes her to the door and smiles, “Why are you still so polite?”
Shuji Consort glanced back, “Yuhang has been closest to the Sixth Princess since he was a child, and he was overjoyed to know the good news, saying that he didn’t catch up with Xianyao’s marriage, and now that his sister’s child is coming, he can’t help but show it. These things, Princess Hui along with the things that His Majesty and you are going to send, together with the people to bring, but also their brother and sister a love.”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xian Yang bowed and saluted, “I hope that Empress Hui does not mind.” Saying so, he handed over the gift list. Concubine Hui ordered someone to receive it and smiled, “What are you talking about, Yu Wang, Xian Yao has a few brothers, and you’re the only one who’s this kind, this palace thanks you on behalf of Xian Yao’s husband and wife.”
After saying that, he let the guests into the hall, and then ordered people to put these gifts in order.
Rong Xiangmian waited inside the hall, waiting for them to come in, and immediately saluted, “Greetings to Your Highness Lady Shu Guifei, greetings to His Highness King Yu.”
“Yo, Xiangmian is also here?” Noble Consort Shu did the full trick and asked, “Here to thank you for your kindness?”
Rong Xiangmian nodded, and Concubine Hui laughed, “This child is just like Xian Yang, too intentional. He came into the palace early this morning to thank for the favor, and even brought gifts for Xian Yao.”
The two matrons gossiped for a few moments, talking about Xian Yao’s domestic son in Bei Zhen, whether it was inconvenient, joyful and worried. Not long after, Shuji Consort pulled Consort Hui and asked, “Sister, there is something I want to trouble you with, can I borrow a step to talk?”
Concubine Hui understood and pulled Consort Shu Gui into the inner room.
The rest of the palace staff had long been instructed to retreat to the outside of the palace.
For a time, the palace room was silent.
Only Rong Xiangmei and Zhou Xianyang were left, standing in the middle of the hall, the atmosphere awkward.
The last time they met, it was the polo field.
He had done her a huge favor.
Rong Xiangmian wanted to open her mouth to say thank you, but it was hard to say it, after all, this was about a woman’s reputation.
Fortunately, King Yu took the lead and spoke, “I know it’s unorthodox to meet like this, but there are just some things that I think it’s necessary to explain clearly to you before the wedding.”
Rong Xiangmian nodded and pointed to the table where tea was served, “My daughter has brought some newly made flower tea, Your Highness have a cup.”
Zhou Xian Yang followed over and sat down.
The wind stove brought a copper kettle to a boil, and Xiangyang brewed a pot of flower tea in the hot water and set it aside. Using a bamboo splint, he placed a set of four white porcelain cups, one by one, over the boiling water, and placed a cup in front of Xian Yang and himself.
Then she stopped and sat down opposite him.
Zhou Xianyang was watching her brewing tea, so it was not a good idea to disturb him, but only then did he say, “The man in the East Garden has already been executed.”
Rong Xiangyang laughed coldly, “So soon? King Li wasn’t affected in the slightest?”
Zhou Xian Yang was a bit surprised, “You know he did it?”
Rong Xiangmian nodded, naturally she was not in a position to talk about her past and present feud with King Li, she only said, “The East Garden is run by people from the Marquis of Yong’an’s residence, I asked myself if I hadn’t offended the Zhang family, so that would be the King Li that they are hell bent on defending.”
Zhou Xian Yang hmmmed, “I’m sorry, it’s all because I’ve dragged you down, the Emperor is bent on defending him, and I can’t …… do it.”
Rong Xiang Xiang smiled, “Obviously it was your entourage that saved me, now there are no rumors outside at all, I think it must also be because of your intention to defend the relationship. I should be thanking you.”
Seeing her being so sympathetic, Zhou Xian Yang was a little surprised, and then indescribably relieved. He looked at her with admiration in his eyes, and saw her lower her head in embarrassment, pretending to fan the air furnace ……
