At dawn, Princess Yongle was in extremely poor spirits. Although she went to bed first last night, her tight nerves kept her awake until late at night. When she woke up this morning, she had serious dark circles under her eyes. Like some black and white animal.
However, the few maids at the door were in even worse spirits than she was. Although the princess did not come out to call for help last night, they did not rest either. Otherwise, they were carefully selected outstanding talents in the palace and stood in the cold wind for several nights. No one even complained.
Xiaoli had been lying on the doorframe all night. If Lao Qian hadn't come earlier, the girl would probably have to continue lying there.
Lao Qian knocked on the door, and the maids who had been waiting for a long time filed in to help the princess and the consort get up. The maid from the palace took over Xiaoli's shift and was responsible for the rest of the ceremony.
The newlywed couple on the bed had already stood up. Looking at the refreshed Lu Hanjiang and the sluggish Princess Yongle, the older nanny couldn't help but worry. This must be the first time that this prince-in-law doesn't know how to care for others. Look. The princess is tired.
After a tedious ceremony, the two got up and went to the hall to meet Meng Yuan. After all, the serious parents-in-law were still far away in the Lu family's old house, so Mr. Meng had to come over to take over at this time.
After bowing in accordance with the etiquette, Yongle accepted the meeting gift from Meng Yuan. Since receiving those weird Miao stuff from Lu Hanjiang, she sincerely expressed her gratitude to all normal gifts.
After the troublesome procedure was over, Lao Qian came up and told Lu Hanjiang about the various places in the house that needed to be rearranged. Although he never handled these things, and Lao Qian also knew that he was impatient with trivial matters at home, as a housekeeper, Lao Qian I still have to tell him.
Over there, taking advantage of the opportunity when Lu Hanjiang was talking to Lao Qian, Princess Yongle grabbed Mr. Meng's arm and said coquettishly: "Uncle, can I move back to the Princess Mansion after I come back?"
"..." I was still sighing that a beautiful girl and a beautiful girl are a perfect match for Mr. Meng. Before he could put away the smile on his face, he froze. Good guy, something went wrong on the first day. Already?
According to national law, the princess should indeed move back to the princess's residence. Every time she comes to or from the consort's residence, she must report it, and the same is true for the consort's visit to the princess.
But since the beginning of the dynasty, the princess's consort would not cling to the law on this issue, and the Ministry of Rites was not free enough to talk about this kind of thing.
Generally speaking, if the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, the princess will live in the husband-in-law's house forever. Firstly, out of the need of being the hostess, she is responsible for taking care of everything in the house, and secondly, to take care of the husband-in-law's face. After all, in today's world, Men are still respected.
After the princesses in the past got married, except for a few exceptions, few couples really lived in two mansions according to the law. Moreover, it would be too anxious to separate after three days of marriage. If it really happened, it would be considered a pioneer. First of all.
Mr. Meng straightened his face and reprimanded: "No, you must obey your husband when you get married. You are also a wife now. You should stay in the Prince Consort's house and serve your parents-in-law well."
"..." Princess Yongle stared with big eyes, looking a little aggrieved. Mr. Meng's excuse was too bad, and he still served his parents-in-law... How many years has it been since Lu Hanjiang was exterminated? This mansion There is no elder except himself, who should she serve?
After her request was rejected, Yongle went back to her room in a depressed manner. According to her, she wanted to catch up on her sleep.
After Lu Hanjiang and Lao Qian finished talking about the mansion, he came over to see Mr. Meng Yuan: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Meng."
"Now that you have a family, I can be considered worthy of your uncle's repeated advice."
Meng Yuan said with emotion, then patted Lu Hanjiang on the shoulder and said, "Yongle is still young. If there is anything stupid, you have to let her go."
"The kid will do it." Lu Hanjiang responded, but he was already cursing and complaining in his heart. You also know that she is still young.
Meng Yuan nodded: "The rich butler will look after it for you. If there is nothing to do here, go and do your work."
"Um."
Lu Hanjiang raised his head and looked at the sky: "In that case, I'll go to the Yamen first."
"......etc."
Meng Yuan grabbed Lu Hanjiang's shoulders and dragged him back the steps he had just taken. Even the well-informed old man felt deeply depressed after hearing these words. It seemed that not only The princess has not grown up, and the prince-in-law also has problems.
"You don't have to go to the Yamen. I have approved a leave for you. Just stay at home these days."
"Is there such a good thing? Then I-"
Feeling the strength of the old man's hand on his shoulder suddenly increase a bit, Lu Hanjiang silently swallowed back the words "Then I'll go shopping".
Meng Yuan stared at him, looking a little tired: "Have a good rest today. Tomorrow you will accompany me to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty. Yongle's mother and concubine will certainly give you some advice."
"I remember it, kid." Lu Hanjiang nodded.
"One more thing," Meng Yuan straightened his expression slightly: "The imperial concubine has told me that Nanny Sun was specially arranged from the old man's house to take care of Yongle's daily life. If there is anything that is not suitable for others to intervene in the future, you can also let her Please pass the message on your behalf and inform me."
"clear."
Lu Hanjiang understood. He just felt something was wrong after hearing what Lao Qian said. Why would a nanny be transferred from Mr. Meng's house to take care of the princess when she got married? At first, he thought it was because the maid beside the princess was not useful. Now after listening to what the old man said, He finally understood.
Because the old man emphasized it, Lu Hanjiang had to stay at home honestly for the rest of the time. Then for the first time, he discovered that a day was so long.
The two of them were still fully clothed in the same bed at night, probably because they drank wine yesterday, so they didn't feel anything wrong. Tonight, Lu Hanjiang felt a little uncomfortable with the people around him.
After getting up the next day, Xiaoli, who came in to serve, looked at the textbook rules between the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. After they got married, they were inseparable every day. It would be better for you to treat each other as guests in one step.
Today was the day to go back home. The group packed up early and went to the palace. Yongle naturally went to find his mother and concubine, while Lu Hanjiang followed Mr. Meng to pay homage to the old emperor.
This is the first time that Lu Hanjiang has seen the old emperor so close. On the surface, the old man who is over sixty years old in front of him is still strong and his words are kind and kind. Under his kind eyes, he should be He was treated as a junior, thanks to Master Meng's face.
As a minister, Lu Hanjiang's impression of the old emperor was naturally very good. They chatted happily. Perhaps because they were older, the old emperor once asked Lu Hanjiang to come closer so that he could take a closer look at him.
It was this time that Lu Hanjiang vaguely smelled the smell of medicine from the old emperor. His face was calm, but his heart was already serious. The few medicines he could smell from it were not needed for minor illnesses or disasters. It seems that the old emperor's health is not as good as he imagined, and it may even be an illusion.
If he could get a pulse, Lu Hanjiang would be able to figure out the true and false status of the other party, but the person in front of him was the emperor... What a pity.
After retreating, he quietly squinted his eyes and secretly exchanged glances with Mr. Meng, but his stern gaze stopped his less awe-inspiring thoughts.
