For a moment, the old man couldn't understand this son who was always unexpected. Three days before the child's full moon, Huang Qiong was found by the emperor in the Wende Hall after the morning court. After entering the Wende Palace, the emperor simply asked directly what he planned to do with the child's full moon wine? Are you preparing for something big, or do you have some other ideas. There is nothing that cannot be said between father and son.
Upon hearing the old man's inquiry, Huang Qiong did not hide it. He simply told He Yao's thoughts directly and emphasized that these were He Yao's thoughts. In response to Huang Qiong's answer, the old man pondered for a while and then nodded with satisfaction: "He is indeed a pleasant person. Although he is a little older, his thoughts are very upright and he knows how to advance and retreat. "
"It's really not the right time to do big things now. It's no wonder that you love her so much, but she is always thinking about you. In the future, although she won't be a queen, she will be a good concubine. In this case, I can rest assured. However, no matter how you say this, she has been a little wronged. Don’t worry, I will make up for it in other ways for her and my grandchildren."
At this point, the old man raised his head, looked at Huang Qiong and said: "Don't do it in your Prince's Mansion when your child is full moon. Even if you don't want to make a big deal, I'm afraid some people won't let you be clean. Just in Guangzhou The Shou Palace Office will bring as many people as you can bring with you. It will only be enough for the whole family to have a meal. I will give you all the rewards that should be given when the time comes."
"I will ask the temples in the capital to ring the prayer bells on that day, and I will also send people to burn the first incense stick of the day to pray for these three children. I can't even think about triplets. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I haven't heard of any royal family in any dynasty having triplets born. This is a good thing and even more auspicious. Let me take a good look at it when the time comes. The palace has not been lively for a long time."
After the emperor made this decision, Huang Qiongduan was stunned. Although this is not a big event, holding a full moon banquet in the palace is simply more public than holding a big event in public. I, the emperor, now have dozens of saints and grandsons, but none of them have managed the Full Moon Wine in the palace. Even the sons of the deposed prince were in charge of matters in the East Palace.
Not to mention, let all temples and Taoists in Beijing ring bells and burn incense to pray for blessings. Huang Qiong originally wanted to persuade him whether this was a bit too showy. But remembering the emperor's words that there had been no liveliness in the palace for a long time, he finally swallowed his persuasion. He could see that after he gradually took over some government affairs, some old men who were idle were somewhat lonely.
The old man is really old, and now he values family ties more. Last year, four of his sons were lost, and the whereabouts of the King of Shu were also unknown. Even if the old man hates him to death, he is still his son. At present, the country's situation is declining again, the severe drought in the northwest has not yet been completely resolved, and civil unrest has broken out on Shanxi Road. Coupled with the deposing of the prince, it can be said that nothing has gone well for the old man in the past two years.
Forget it, if the old man wants to be lively, just be lively, and just treat it as a filial piety to make the old man happy. Back at the mansion, Huang Qiong told He Yao what the old man thought. He Yao almost didn't drop her jaw in shock, but after listening to Huang Qiong's analysis of the old man's mentality, although she was still a little hesitant and fearful, she finally nodded.
On the day when the child was one month old, the sound of bells and drums rang throughout the Jingzhao Mansion early in the morning. All the temples and Taoist temples rang long bells, and according to the emperor's request, they all rang a full 180 degrees. Especially the big bell in the White Horse Temple, when it rings, almost the entire city of Luoyang can hear it clearly. In Buddhism, one hundred and eight bells means praying for blessings, which can remove ten entanglements and ninety-eight knots.
When the prince's eldest son was born, the old man had never made such a big noise. Under the long bells, the princes and dignitaries in Luoyang City had mixed feelings. There are jealous people, such as King Teng, Concubine De, and King Song's mother and son. Others also prayed for Huang Qiong’s three children. What's more, there is a real feeling that things are going to change, especially for those who were still waiting and watching before.
Those nobles and military officers knew what the emperor was taboo about, but they were still more reserved. But there are many civil servants in the capital, especially the second and first grade civil servants. After hearing these bells, they all rushed to the British Prince's Palace by car or sedan, carrying the heavy gifts they had prepared long ago. At that time, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the British Prince's Palace, with officials wearing various official uniforms everywhere.
Cars, horses and sedan chairs blocked the road in front of the door. But after these officials arrived at the British Prince's Palace, Jia Quan, who came out to receive them, told them. The King of England and his ladies entered the palace early in the morning. The emperor is going to hold a full-moon banquet for the three children at Guangshou Hall. They wanted the King of England to accept it, but except for the four treasures of the study, they were asked to take back the rest.
But even though they didn't see the King of England, how could these officials really take away the gifts? Even if it was during the Chinese New Year and they had already hit a wall once, it didn't matter to these officials. No matter how Jia Quan tried to persuade them, they all left the congratulatory gifts outside the Prince of England's palace. For these officials, especially those below the third rank who want to go abroad, it is necessary to leave some impression on the King of England.
As for these gifts, they have no control over what the King of England does with them. Anyway, all the posts and congratulatory gifts have been left. Come to think of it, the King of England would not be too unkind and send back those congratulatory gifts. As for the second-grade officials and above, they are more cautious. They usually only leave messages and leave without leaving the congratulatory gifts. Now that the King of England is in charge of national affairs, they have many opportunities to meet the King of England.
As long as there is contact, are you afraid that this gift will not be given away? What's more, the dignified prince of the current dynasty is now almost in the position of supervising the country, and is almost 100% appointed as the crown prince. How can he care about such a thing? As long as I cooperate with the King of England's governance, even if the gift is not given, it is still the same. Therefore, these officials left simply.
I have known for a long time that I will definitely not be able to calm down today. Therefore, Huang Qiong took his daughters and three children into the palace early in the morning. Huang Qiong originally thought of bringing Wu Ziyu and Lin Hanyan into the palace together. But no matter how much he tried to persuade her, the second daughter, who had too many worries in her heart, just refused to go. In desperation, Huang Qiong had no choice but to let the two of them go.
He Yao and three children, plus the pregnant Duan Jin, and Wu Zhiyu, who couldn't ride a horse, naturally sat in Huang Qiong's chair. Even if five or six people squeezed in, they wouldn't feel crowded in the prince's sedan chair. Huang Qiong and other girls followed on horseback. Along the way, the gorgeous appearance of the ladies of Lin Wanqing Dynasty, coupled with the heroic spirit on their faces who have been practicing martial arts for many years, can be said to be quite eye-catching.
In fact, Huang Qiong didn't want to be so public, but there was no other way. His Prince's Palace only had one large sedan chair, but now he had several small sedan chairs. But the sedan along the way was also a bit conspicuous. Besides, the two small sedans also had to be accompanied by two nannies who also couldn’t ride a horse. This child needs to be breastfed several times a day, and she may not know how long she will stay in the palace.
He Yao alone could not feed the three children. Although there were wet nurses in the palace, it was unclear who was behind those wet nurses. Huang Qiong, who was worried about her children, did not dare to use them. In addition, according to the regulations, other concubines other than the prince's concubine are not eligible to ride in his prince's sedan chair. So, I simply took the other girls to ride a horse.
After entering the palace, Huang Qiong took the girls and three children directly to Ting Xuexuan. I have already experienced it once, so this time I came to listen to Xuexuan. Except for Wu Zhiyu, the other girls were much less restrained. But what Huang Qiong didn't expect was that when he arrived at Ting Xuexuan, the old man was actually there. And after meeting the three children, the wrinkles on his smiling face became much less.
Without saying anything else, when they met, each person received a longevity lock made of pure gold and four small gold bracelets, one on each hand and foot. Huang Qiong could tell that the old man was not very fond of these three children. Whether it is a longevity lock or a gold bracelet, they are all put on by myself. Especially his eldest son, the old man even hugged him with his own hands for a long time, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much smoother.
Of course, in this situation, the emperor would not be able to stay long according to customization. After being very curious about the triplets, the emperor finally reluctantly left. Looking at the emperor's reluctant back, Huang Qiong looked at the mother who had already met the three children and was naturally not as eager as the old man. She sighed softly and said: "Old man, you are really old now."
Huang Qiong sighed, but her mother remained silent. He just looked at the three children indifferently and said after a long time: "Time is ruthless. No matter he is an emperor, a husband or a father, he cannot avoid this law. After all, he will grow old. Your grandfather is like this, and so is your father. So, so do I. But his body and bones are fine, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Just saying this, looking at the group of warblers around Huang Qiong, even though she is somewhat used to it now, her mother still frowned slightly. Looking back, Jing Niang, whose eyes never left Huang Qiong even though she was helping to take care of the child, shook her head gently. When Huang Qiong was sent to Wende Hall by the old man, he didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at the Wende Hall, Huang Qiong discovered that in addition to the parents of the Prince of Guilin and Situ Huanshuang, there were also Prince Yong and his fiancée's family, and Prince Shen and his fiancée's family. King Shen proposed to get married at the beginning of the year, and his fiancée was the daughter of the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Although she seems a bit petty, she is also a gentle and gentle woman. After seeing Guilin County Prince and his son, Huang Qiong could not help but frown slightly.
Just thinking of Situ Huanshuang's situation suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. Instead, he respectfully called his father-in-law. Seeing Huang Qiong saying hello, the Prince of Guilin signaled the prince to hand over a gift note and said: "Although the child is not born to Rui'er, since Rui'er is your official wife, as your child, he is naturally regarded as the grandson of the foreign minister. This It’s the foreign minister, my grandfather, who has some thoughts.”
However, to the surprise of the Guilin County King, Huang Qiong did not immediately follow the gift list that was filled with a whole red paper. It wasn't until the emperor opened his mouth that he pretended to be embarrassed and accepted it. However, after accepting it, he put it directly into his arms without even looking at it, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't be surprised. Your Excellency is rich in the world, so the gifts on this gift list must be extremely valuable."
"If it's too little, my father-in-law can't afford to lose this person, right? Although I am about to get married to the princess, but after all, that day has not come yet. My son-in-law is a little embarrassed to receive this generous gift from his father-in-law. . The hesitation just now is precisely because of these. My son-in-law is not here to accompany my father-in-law, so I would like to ask my father-in-law to be considerate."
Who is the Duke of Guilin? He is an old fox who has become a spirit. How could he not see the indifference concealed by Huang Qiong's hypocrisy? However, as an old fox, he will naturally not do anything rude to you at this time. At least in his opinion, this marriage must continue, and some things that everyone is hiding are far from being revealed.
