Chapter 224: Congrats (Part 2)
Chapter 224: Congratulations (Part 2)
After several years of luxury, Song Xinyou is already very familiar with the harem.
In just one hour, the matters in the palace were arranged properly, and even the banquet was arranged clearly and clearly explained to supervise it.
Wang Hongyi was in the side hall, watching her majestic words and actions, with a faint smile on her lips. It was her responsibility to dominate the inner palace, and Wang Hongyi generally did not interfere.
"After completing these things, we will report to our palace for help."
"promise!"
Finally, the last group of people were sent out. When she turned around, Song Xinyou happened to meet Wang Hongyi's gaze, and her face suddenly turned red.
The Song family was originally a noble family. Although they were doing business, they still paid great attention to their teachings. After entering the palace, they became queens for several years and had all the five virtues.
Wang Hongyi’s respect for the queen is not so much “love” as “respect” as “respect” as “wife”, but this is indeed a standard queen.
Dingguo and Anbang was Wang Hongyi, and this harem of Anding really needed such a queen.
Because the couple had not seen each other for a long time, the Empress Dowager went to rest first. Wang Hongyi had just seen his wife's majesty when he was instructed, and now he saw her little daughter's posture. Wang Hongyi suddenly felt a sense of being in front of him, and walked forward and teased in a low voice: "The lonely queen has become more and more maternal in the world. In the future, you will need to take care of the affairs of the harem. Since you have finished your work today, let's take a rest first. In the afternoon, you will be given a banquet for the ministers, which will be a few more hours."
Song Xinyou smiled slightly: "You are the king, I am your wife, and even your minister. Naturally, I have to assist you so that you can avoid you from having to control the inner palace. And I am not as weak as I walk along the way, although I am a little tired, I can always rest when I sit in the car and boat."
"It's just that my mother is suffering. My mother is getting older and stops and stops. She is very depressed all the way. Fortunately, she has arrived in Jinling and can finally take a break."
Song Xinyou said, pulling out the hair scattered on his forehead, his slender and white fingers, and his shiny black hair, made Wang Hongyi closer and closer.
Just as I was about to make a few more jokes, footsteps came from outside, and someone reported outside: "The king, the masters of the Ministry of Rites, are waiting outside, wanting to see the king."
Wang Hongyi was stunned, smiled helplessly, and said to Song Xinyou: "Queen, you go down and rest. When it's time, we will go to the banquet together."
Song Xinyou sighed slightly, knowing that state affairs are important, nodded and said, "I know, I will take my leave first."
As he said that, he gave a blessing and left.
I left the hall behind and walked towards the harem. Because the distance was long, I took a carriage.
The plans and attractions on both sides are of course far better than the royal palace in Xiangyang.
The palace where the Emperor Dayan lived was extraordinary. The palace was layered and layers were separated by several palaces. When I returned to Kunning Palace, someone had already picked up the palace. The brazier was burning very well. As soon as I entered, I felt warm.
"Come on, give me a cup of Qingxin tea prepared by me." Sitting on the gorgeous soft collapse, Song Xinyou took a break for a while and then said instructed.
"I'll go and give it to the queen now!" The palace maid who was ordered trotted down.
After a while, a teacup that smelled fragrant and looked green and green was brought.
The tea temperature was just right in the mouth. Song Xinyou took a few sips and his face gradually returned to normal.
In front of Wang Hongyi, she actually had the intention of holding on. She was the lord of the palace. Although she was tired and a little angry, she should do, should not do, should say, and should not say. These are because she has been forced to remember them in her mind since she was sensible. As the eldest daughter of the Song family, the queen, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Chu king, she really dared not let herself show her incompetent and weak side. The queen should do it. She should do it first, and then be herself.
"Queen..." At this time, a palace maid who had been following her whispered a few words in her ear.
"You all retreat first." Song Xinyou said to the palace maid eunuch next to him.
"No." The eunuchs of the palace servants retreated.
"Let her come in." Seeing that everyone else had retreated, Song Xinyou ordered the palace servant to bring the person in.
"No." The palace servant took the order out, and soon, he brought a woman in.
"I have met the queen." The woman bowed in front of Song Xinyou.
Song Xinyou knew this person. Although she was an ordinary person, she was very smart. She was born in the Song family. She loved to learn literature and calligraphy since she was a child. When she was a little older, she was attracted by the Song family housekeeper and specially trained to learn how to calculate accounts and various housekeepers' affairs.
When Song Xinyou saw that she was coming, she was a little surprised and asked: "How did you come to Jinling?
He Qian hurriedly replied respectfully: "I am here with the eldest son."
"Brother, too, has arrived in Jinling?" This made her frown even more.
But after thinking for a while, his brows relaxed and asked, "Does he have something for you to deliver in?"
It is not easy for a man to enter the palace, but it is because a woman enters and leaves the palace gate. He Qian has come to the palace this time, so I am afraid that there are letters sent in?
"Queen, here is the silver notes that the master and the eldest master have asked me to submit to you. This is a letter that the master has asked me to submit to you." He Qian took out two sealed thick paper bags and said upwards.
The palace servant came over and checked it briefly according to the rules. After finding nothing unusual, he passed it on to Song Xinyou.
Song Xinyou looked at the two paper bags in his hand, one thicker and the other thinner. The thicker one was opened first, and there was a thick stack of silver notes inside.
Each one has a small denomination, 10 taels per piece, a thick stack, which is for her to reward.
After looking at it, I repacked it and asked me to put it away.
She opened the thin paper bag and saw several letters inside, including fathers and brothers. When she opened the letter, she read them all. They were all homely words and said very warmly.
In the last letter written by her father, the Song family mentioned some plans, saying that she would rest assured in the palace and that the Song family would do the support she deserved.
"Oh!" These letters were held in my hand and read them repeatedly, which made the palace servant put them in the brazier beside them, and instantly ignited into ashes.
Song Xinyou then looked at He Qian and said slowly: "I know the matter. You did a good job this time. Take a hundred taels out and do your business well. You have to read more and talk less around the eldest master. Do you remember?"
"I remember." He Qian took the silver notes handed over by the palace servant and hurriedly thanked him: "I thank the queen for the reward!"
"Okay, go down." After more than an hour, it was the banquet time. She felt a little pain in her head and wanted to take a little rest, so she waved her hand and ordered the other party to retreat.
After He Qian gave the ceremony, she left the inner hall under the leadership of the palace servant.
Looking at the burning brazier silently, Song Xinyou sighed quietly, closed her eyes and calmed down.
One hour later, Wang Hongyi had a banquet for the ministers in Jinling City and the Imperial Palace.
Not only for the sake of the pacification of Wu, but also for the arrival of the Queen Mother and her group of people.
In addition to the ministers who made contributions to the battle against Wu, and a large number of surrendered officials and generals, the participants also included the Empress Dowager Wang and Queen Song Xinyou.
As for the concubines, they did not attend.
Wang Hongyi wore a grand dress today, attending the banquet in the crown robes of the King of Chu, sitting on the imperial throne, on his left, was the position of the empress dowager, in order to show filial piety.
The Queen Mother seemed very happy today. Although she was a little tired all the way, she had rested for a while before the banquet and had recovered.
Wearing the Queen Mother's costume, sitting next to my son, watching the civil and military officials coming to see each other, they were all very talented and had a prosperous atmosphere, and they were very happy.
Song Xinyou sat on Wang Hongyi's side, dressed very dignified and grandly, showing grace and generousness.
This is not the first time some ministers have met the Queen Mother and the Queen, but there are many new officials. This is the first time they have met. After visiting each other, they all feel that they are very respectful.
After the visit, Wang Hongyi ordered a banquet in the hall.
Although it was cold winter at this time, it was sunny and a brazier was growing in the hall, which was very warm.
According to the rules and official positions, they are divided into public seats and expanded from the inside to the outside. They can enter the palace at the lowest level.
The golden bell rang and the banquet began.
The banquet was prepared early, and a large number of maids were holding the dishes on the table. Because it was cold, there must be a hot pot for each table, and the flowers were boiling, and white smoke was emitting.
There are all kinds of dishes around, and it is not enough to be described in detail.
Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "My dear friends, today is twenty-seven, the south is pacified, you have worked hard, it all depends on the strength of the masters. I will give this banquet today, which is the New Year's banquet. After using it, you can go back to celebrate the New Year."
At this moment, several ministers brought their ministers to worship and respect again, saying, "This is all the blessing of the king. How dare I take credit for me!"
After congratulations, meals are served.
In the far corner of the minister, there was a person observing.
Xungu looked at it at this time and saw that the palace was regaining its anger after Wang Hongyi entered the palace.
I saw the red tide pouring in, filling any corner of the palace. All the ministers had luck. As for the kings, queens and queens above, they all condensed purple qi and lingered.
Especially Wang Hongyi, the rich purple aura gathered and enveloped it like purple clouds.
Xungu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was the true king's aura, but it had nothing to do with the previous dynasty, so he was prosperous and could not see any evil.
Xungu shook his head and smiled bitterly. Such luck was not something that Wei Yue had to shake.
However, even so, I can use the remaining dragon energy to hold a firm position, and I will go out to serve as the prefect after the New Year. As long as I govern the government and the people and follow the moral integrity, I can naturally eliminate my karma little by little.
And as long as you accumulate silently, even if you are the position of prime minister in the future, it is not impossible. At that time, you may be able to extract the last part of Wei Yue's dragon energy for yourself or your descendants to use it to extend your wealth and family background.
If we can win the enthronement of the New Dynasty, we will naturally be independent after death. We will rely on the power of Wei Yue's zombie and will definitely gain a foothold.
Chapter completed!
