Chapter 558 A Wedding Becomes a Funeral
He Xiuyi hurriedly said, “Please!”
A few moments later Zhong Beauty and Jiang Talent joined hands and entered the temple, after entering the fur coat, revealing the inner dress, exactly one red and one green, contrasting with each other.
“It’s like the first case of red blooming in the spring!” He Xiuyi so joked, “I was worried that after changing my dress early, I would wrinkle it when I sat down, but now that the three of you are here, I instantly feel like I’m gray no, I have to hurry and go change!”
“The two of them do look like peonies.” Tian Baolin laughed softly, “But I don’t think it’s like the first case red, it’s the vermilion sand base that’s right, Sister Zhong’s red dress is a little lighter in color than the first case red.”
“Wouldn’t have wanted to wear too colorful.” Between the bell beauty and ginger talent has already saluted, was He Xiu Yi signaled to sit down, sniffed up the tea bowl, explained, “but this day up to see the coming and going of the palace people are wearing red and green, worried about not fit in with the group called the above do not like, so specifically picked these two body.”
Speaking here, she surveyed He Xiuyi and laughed, “Your Highness should still change later, the ceremony is still a bit late! In the middle of the ceremony, if you have tea and snacks or something, you’ll be busy again.”
He Xiuyi’s socalled need to hurry to change clothes was just that, and at this moment he took advantage of the situation to not mention it, and smiled, “I was saying that tomorrow I’ll get a pot for everyone to eat together, I don’t know what you guys think about it?”
“It’s good to liven things up on such a cold day.” Beauty Zhong and Talent Jiang glanced at each other and both nodded, “Is it noon or night?”
He Xiuyi said, “It’s noon after eating, the four of us can play cards or something, and after that, you can go back with a clear mind. If it’s nighttime, unless you’re willing to rest here with me, I wouldn’t be too worried about letting you carry the lamps back to Liuxia Palace in the middle of the night!”
“Then it’s a deal!” Crown Princess Jiang looked at the palace and saw that there were only their respective beloved servants at the moment, so she laughed and said, “Huiyi Palace doesn’t want us to go and join in the fun, but we can join in the fun ourselves.”
Tian Baolin was busy giving her a silent gesture and digressed, “Speaking of the decline of Her Highness the Eldest Princess, what did you send to show your appreciation? I don’t have many good things on hand, I’m really afraid of slowing down Her Highness.”
“We are all half a catty versus eight taels, how many good things can we have?” Concierge Jiang raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and laughed, “But Your Highness is magnanimous, so I don’t think you’ll bother with us?”
Speaking seems to think of a matter, from the sleeve took out four scented sacs to, said, “I did some stitching these two days, just one person a … either?”
The crowd followed the sound and saw that it was a color of pinched gold silk rich peony brocade for the surface, embroidered with bats, Ruyi and other metaphors of good luck, the craftsmanship can not be said to be particularly good, but it also passes, the four scented capsules look pretty much the same, there is not much difference He Xiuyi was the first to take one on his hand to measure, surprised, “You made them all? Much better than my handiwork!”
Everyone knew that He Xiuyi was having a détente with them in the past two days, saying good things about them no matter what.
So this was not taken seriously, only have taken the scented pouch from the hands of Jiang Cai Ren, playfully laughing, “But we have done nothing, can only take your for nothing!”
“It was originally made for you guys.” Jiang Cailian pursed her lips and smiled, tying the leftover one to her waist on the spot, and the others did the same when they saw it including He Xiuyi, whose accompanying maid was a bit skeptical, and looked for an opening to probe, “The scented capsule that Cailian made is very festive, was it embroidered specifically to congratulate His Highness the Eldest Princess? ”
However, Jiang Cai Ren turned her head to look at her, faintly said, “labor girl see ask, but not in fact, this scented bag is as early as some time ago to do up, a total of five, was intended to be in the New Year’s Festival time to take out, so only to choose the festive material and embroidery. However, two days ago, sister Xue said to go away, her that I put aside in the fire pot that day burned to her. I’ve been thinking about the remaining four for the past two days, and I think it’s better to share them with everyone!”
Saying this he looked around at the crowd of people with different expressions and said faintly, “If people think it’s bad luck, it’s fine to throw it away.”
“How?” After a short silence, He Xiuyi was the first to take a stand, “Sister’s intention to do it herself, we already feel guilty for taking it for nothing, how can we spoil sister’s good intentions?”
But the atmosphere was affected in the end, so Mrs. Jiang didn’t sit for long before she excused herself, and as she was leaving, Beauty Zhong, who came with her, also left, and Tian Baolin also excused herself after sending the three of them away, He Xiuyi complained about the maid ”You’re just being overattentive, why did you have to say that? Anyway, they all know I’m going to Huiyi Palace, so they can’t stay long! When they’re gone, let’s take out the scented capsule for a closer look or put it in the corner, won’t it be done?”
The maid actually felt that the friendship of Jiang Cai Ren and the others was of little use to He Xiu Yi, and that it would be broken when it was broken.
But she knew He Xiuyi didn’t think so, and with the deep palace roaming, He Xiuyi did need a few companions of similar age.
It is so gentle and tame to ask for forgiveness, and then reminded, “Although the slave girl doesn’t see this scented capsule looks like there is a problem, but later on, we have to go to congratulate Her Highness, the Eldest Princess of Changxing, it is better not to bring it, right?”
He Xiuyi nodded, “You give me a good put up, don’t make it disappear so that Jiang Cailian know that the heart must be more unhappy!”
The maid said, “Then the slave girl will give it to you just resting on the dressing table, where you can see it at a glance, so it’s not so bad to say that you can’t find it.”
After she went to do it, she came back and said to He Xiuyi ”The time is almost up, Your Highness should go bathe! Putting on makeup also takes some time, not to mention that even if you go to Huiyi Palace later in order to make a statement to the Empress, it’s in the end His Highness the Eldest Princess’s wedding, so it’s impossible for you to have all of them waiting for you over there.”
In this way, by half afternoon, He Xiuyi packed up and brought the gifts for the Eldest Princess Changxing to add to her makeup, boarded the foot carriage to go to Huiyi Palace after arriving at the main hall, she naturally went to greet Empress Dowager Su first.
Empress Su today deliberately changed a grand attire, phoenix crown Zhai dress, body beads, but does not show vulgarity, only feel graceful and noble, elegant.
The Empress Dowager already had Consort Jiang as well as the older Zongwu accompanying her to talk, and when she saw He Xiuyi she was kind enough to dispense with the salute and exchanged a few pleasantries before letting the palace people take her to see the Eldest Princess Changxing.
Following the palace people, He Xiuyi went to the side hall where the eldest princess Changxing lived, and there were some people gathered here, of course the eldest princess Yushan was there, and there were also several county lords and county lords of distant branches of the clan.
But despite the presence of these people, there was little noise.
This was not surprising Elder Princess Changxing only had one sister, Elder Princess Yushan, and the only one of her sistersinlaw who was alive and within the Imperial City today was Empress Wei, who had taken on a portion of today’s wedding, and naturally did not have the time to come over and accompany her youngest sisterinlaw so early in the morning.
The Empress is not available, because the Emperor has not yet formally abdicated, Changxing Princess declined, is to go to the Xuanming Palace to say goodbye to her brother and sisterinlaw. Can’t Wei Empress run over to accompany her for half a day, pinching her to go to the Xuanming Palace of the hour, and then hurriedly rushed to the Xuanming Palace to sit down and wait for her to salute, this is also too hasty and undignified.
In addition, the Yi Wang Fu is last year, the tragedy of the House, the only with Changxing years as if the little princess is even worse, has long been the soul of a small.
As for the cousins, the Grand Princess of the State of Jin is seriously ill, her children and younger generations could not leave her alone, ran over to congratulate the eldest princess of Changxing, including the couple of Jian Xubai have confessed to the crime of being afraid to serve the disease contaminated with the disease of the wedding, so the gift to the people do not have.
Like a layer of Hengshan Wang Fu, the county lords are dead small small, now these several county lords, county lords, are with the royal family has not much to do with the clan’s daughter, before today have not been much with Changxing face, now and where have the courage to joke and play with Changxing?
So can this scene not be quiet?
Seeing He Xiuyi come in, the crowd stirred slightly. The crowd stirred slightly, and after saluting, those county lords and prefectural lords continued to be dignified and silent.
And He Xiuyi didn’t know what to say to the two Princesses, forcing a smile and saying, “Your Highness is very happy!”
Deliver the gift and follow the end of the line without making a sound.
Luckily, the two eldest princesses had no intention of having a long conversation with her, and kept to themselves as they came together in front of the dresser to talk in whispers.
After a long time, to see the twilight will come, the palace maid came in, said the eldest princess Changxing should comb makeup.
The crowd sniffed and busily moved out of the way so that the palace maid in charge of grooming could serve the eldest princess.
The grooming went very smoothly, and after it was over, the palace maid looked at the copper leak in the corner of the room, and suggested that the eldest Princess Changxing could sit in the hall for a few moments, “In a quarter of an hour, Your Highness can get up and go to the main hall to pay your respects to the Queen.”
He Xiuyi and others heard, are not moving and relieved originally accompanying the new bride is a very happy and festive thing, but if with this new bride is not familiar with, the relationship can not be talked about good words … just wait here, can be very meaningless.
Moreover, He Xiuyi’s entry into the palace was very political, and the marriage between Changxing Princess and her uncle He Qian was also a purely political marriage, which led to He Xiuyi being the concubine of Changxing Princess’s eldest brother, while her uncle was the prince consort of the Princess when Empress Wei said that there is no such thing as an aunt disliking the husband’s first niece, He Xiuyi was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say! When Empress Wei said that there is no aunt who dislikes her husband’s first niece, He Xiuyi was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say.
She would count the time, thinking that she would finally be ready to go soon!
Who knows it was not easy to get through to the end of the red tape, and ate a typical palace banquet in Huiyi Palace, He Xiuyi dragged her tired body back to Qibao Palace, and was about to call for someone to prepare the bath room, but there was a small chamberlain who darted over in a panic to report ”Your Highness! It’s not good! Her Highness the Eldest Princess suddenly vomited blood and fainted unconscious when she was bidding farewell to the Empress!”
If it was just this matter, this little chamberlain wouldn’t have had to come and tell He Xiuyi in such a hurry.
The point is, “When the Empress went up to check on Her Highness the Eldest Princess, she found an eyecatching scented pouch on Her Highness’s sleeve, and someone recognized it, saying that it was the very same one that Miss Jiang had given you this morning!”
