In the first year of Nianchun and Tuxi's marriage, Emperor Huiren and the empress specially approved the two to move to the prince's mansion, and they entered the palace three times every ten days to pay their respects.That year, Nianchun had just reached the age of Ji, and she still looked childish, Tuxi was not willing to torment her, and explained the reason to Emperor Huiren and the Queen, and asked Nianchun to take care of her body, and then talk about children in two years.

Emperor Huiren and the queen understood his tenderness, communicated with Jia She and his wife, and agreed to the matter.

This year, the officials are invited to play, hoping that the prince will accept the side concubine, give birth to the emperor's grandson, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.The crown prince walked away on the spot, leaving behind the speaker who started to play, sweating and his face like gold paper.But within a few days, Jia Hu, who was the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at that time, impeached the speaker and listed dozens of criminal evidence.The whole court was horrified, and the matter of the prince taking a concubine was shelved, and no one mentioned it again.

In the second year of Nianchun and Tuxi's marriage, the Supreme Emperor Huang Jiahe passed away, and the whole country mourned. The crown prince said that he was willing to keep the country's filial piety with the crown prince and concubine, and talk about heirs after 27 months.Unexpectedly, Guoxiao's husband and wife received another bad news.Following the death of the Supreme Emperor, the always healthy Empress Dowager and the two concubines also passed away one after another due to physical discomfort.

Until the end of the filial piety period, it has been the fifth year that Nianchun and Tuxi have been married.

In the year she married Tu Xi, Nianchun was still a young girl who had just reached Ji, she was innocent and innocent, even if she married the most honorable crown prince of the dynasty, to Nianchun, she was not much different from being at home. .

Before the dowry, Nian Chun, who was already 19 years old, looked at the delicate and beautiful face in the mercury mirror, with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Distilling wine and frying tea are still as neat as usual, one is busy ironing Nianchun's clothes, and the other is combing her hair in a bun after Nianchun dies.Nianchun once thought about letting the two of them go out to marry a good family and be decent wives.But they politely rejected Nianchun's kindness. Although they are still serving Nianchun on weekdays, they are still at the age of being called "aunt" by the young maids below.

"Your Majesty, that Miss Chen is still thinking about the Crown Prince, right? Maybe we will see her again at the Queen's Empress' Qianqiu Banquet today?"

Soaking in wine helped Nianchun tie up her long hair, combed the hibiscus bun with skillful hands, picked out a hibiscus flower in the dowry that the empress empress had just rewarded before her, and put it on the temple hairpin for Nianchun. She nodded and said with a smile: "This Miss Chen refuted the kindness of the empress's marriage before, who would have thought that it would be a full four years after the delay. Come to think of it, looking around in the capital now, I'm afraid there are not many honors. Your son is of the right age. I heard that Wu Bohou and his wife are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but this Miss Chen is very thick-skinned, and she goes to the empress all day long to please the empress and play tricks. The land and the prince are looking for a chance to meet."

"Alas, when I was in Yuxiu Palace, this Miss Chen would hang out in front of our empress. If she said that she has no desire for the crown prince, I wouldn't believe it if she was killed." Hanging her clothes aside, she put away the tools in her hands and began to help Nianchun change her clothes.

Today is the Empress's birthday, Nian Chun sent the congratulatory gift to the palace early in the morning, Tu Xi did not come back after the morning court due to government affairs.Looking at the time now, it's time for Nian Chun to pack up and go to the palace to have an audience.

The palace was busy early in the morning. Although Emperor Huiren had been on the throne for several years, there were only a few people in the harem, but today is the queen's birthday.All the ladies and relatives of the palace came to greet the queen early in the morning.Emperor Huiren married the queen as a young man, and there were no other people except two side concubines and two concubines after more than [-] years of marriage.The husband and wife are loving and affectionate, and the two side concubines and concubines are also honest and responsible, and dare not exceed the rules.When Emperor Huiren ascended the throne, he entrusted several people, and several people settled down in a corner, and they settled down in the morning and evening, which made the queen feel relieved.

When Nian Chun arrived at the Queen's Palace, it happened that Concubine Li and Liu Guiren were also there, everyone greeted each other, and the Queen affectionately called Nian Chun to sit and talk for a while.

"You child, it's not too early, but it's too late. Don't sneak around for a while, you have to tell me to look at you more in front of me." The queen complained a few words, but her tone was very affectionate.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Princess Concubine always regards Empress as her own mother, I'm afraid she will spend a lot of time in the mansion to meet her. Look at this bun dress, shoes and socks, they are all exquisite and dexterous."

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly scrutinized Nian Chunzhou's body again, and it turned out that he had carefully dressed up today, making him even more pretty, gentle, and charming.

"This child never puts much effort into dressing up, but today it's hard for her, I'm afraid she will be troubled at home as Concubine Li said." After speaking, he took Nianchun's hand again and smiled, "Your father specially made a fuss today." Ask Dai Quan to go outside the palace and invite two troupes to sing operas, which we have never heard before. Dai Quanyuan said that some operas are too common, and I want them to change them. I will return, and I will not ask them to change them randomly. One word. We have lived in the palace for a long time, don't look at the sky from a well, we should just listen to what the common people listen to, if there is any fun in changing the name, it is better not to invite outsiders."

Liu Guiren loves to listen to operas the most. When he heard what the queen said, he quickly laughed and said: "It's still the queen who has insight. The troupe in our palace sings only a few times. After listening to it once or twice, I will get tired of it." .It’s a good singing outside, it sounds fresh.” As he spoke, he looked at Nian Chun with a smile on his eyes and said, “I heard that the troupe was invited by the prince himself to Jiangnan last month. It's hard to buy, but we all have the honor of the empress, so we listened to it with a shy face."

Nian Chun smiled and said: "It was because the father and the emperor moved his mind for the mother's Qianqiu. The third elder brother went to Jiangnan to invite him here, and it is also a filial piety for us as children."

Concubine Li and Lady Liu joked a few words with each other. After a short while, all the wives who had orders from the mansions of noble dukes came to the palace one after another to pay their respects to the queen. Concubine Li and Lady Liu sat next to each other. He pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.The maids and nurses around the queen summoned the wives to come in for an audience in an orderly manner, and the first group of people who came in was the queen's natal family, Mrs. Wu Bohou and her daughter Chen Yan, to congratulate.

Wu Bohou is the queen's direct elder brother, but if he can't write well, he can't succeed in martial arts, and going to court is just for a scene.Although the empress regretted that her natal family was weak, fortunately, she was respected in the harem, and Emperor Huiren treated her the same as before, and she was a queen who could sit securely.

Since the queen has only one elder brother, she is very tolerant towards the elder sister-in-law.Over the years Mrs. Wu Bohou has devoted herself to everything and managed the huge Hou Mansion in an orderly manner. This alone is enough for the empress to look at her differently.At this moment, seeing her stepping forward to salute, the empress quickly told her to stand down without courtesy, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law should have come earlier, I have been waiting here for quite a long time."

"Your Majesty loves you so much. I should have come to the palace earlier to congratulate Your Majesty's Qianqiu. It's just that Brother Yuan caught cold last night. I woke up early to see him. His pitiful little face was flushed red. Come to pay your respects to the empress. You can’t say that you are a mother-in-law for the minister’s wife, coaxing him to take medicine and fall asleep before leaving him to come to the palace. Empress, don’t blame him for not being able to come to such a good day.”

Three years ago, Uncle Wu had a son in his middle age, and the empress felt that it took only half a lifetime for the two brothers and sister-in-law to have a son to inherit the incense, so she personally named the child Chen Yuan.Chen Yuan has a cute appearance and was taught by Uncle Wu by his side. He is very intelligent and eager to learn.Mrs. Wu Bohou loves Chen Yuan as much as her eyeballs on weekdays, even Chen Yan back then is not as good.

The queen frowned slightly when she heard the words, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law's words are too outlandish. Why didn't Brother Yuan tell me earlier when he was sick, Nanny Cui, take some of Brother Yuan's usual My favorite food, rose dew, and Mrs. Wu Bohou go back to the house to see the child, so that he won't miss me as an aunt when he is sick."

Nanny Cui, who was standing behind the queen, hurriedly responded.

Mrs. Wu Bohou smiled and said: "He is just a child who has a headache for a while, and you are spoiling him like this, Niang Niang."

"I watched Brother Yuan grow up, and he is the closest to my aunt. If I don't love him, who else will I love?"

Concubine Li and Liu Guiren also echoed with a smile. Chen Yan stood beside Mrs. Wu Bohou and glanced at Nian Chun who was sitting next to the queen. There was a trace of complexity in her eyes, but she smiled slightly: " The princess looks really good."

Nianchun nodded, and responded lightly, "Thank you Miss Chen for your concern."

Everyone here is not ignorant women and children, so naturally they all clearly know what Chen Yan has in mind.It's just that thinking of Tu Xi's unreasonable temperament, who only favors Nian Chun, even those who intend to persuade him to make peace all retreat.Although Empress Suoxing has always been kind to her natal brothers and sisters-in-law, she never took the initiative to ask for someone to be added to Tu Xi's room.Concubine Li and Liu Guiren would not rush themselves to find such thankless things to do.

Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Mrs. Wu Bohou hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over, "The jewelry worn by the Crown Princess today is really beautiful, and the minister's wife went to the Ruyi Zhai in the capital two days ago and couldn't find such exquisite armbands. What about Chuan and Jinchai?"

It is a woman's nature to love beauty. Hearing this, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to the bracelet on Nianchun's arm and the golden hairpin on his temples.They praised it one after another, and even the queen looked at it for a long time, and asked with a smile where she bought it.

Nianchun pursed her lips and smiled, but she made tea beside her and said with a smile: "Mistress He of Ruyizhai just made it five days ago. Before she put it in the shop as a signboard, she was bought by the prince for a lot of money and given to the empress. .”

"You talk too much." Nian Chun snorted with a smile, and said coquettishly to the queen, "Don't listen to her nonsense, queen mother, I also picked out the congratulatory gifts for queen mother myself, and the three elder brothers have done the same thing."

Sure enough, the queen smiled even more happily, and while talking, she asked Nanny Cui to invite other wives who came to pay her respects.
