In the main hall, three sisters, Xu Fang, Xu Zhi, and Xu Ying, were chatting and waiting.
Xu Zhi glanced over from time to time and murmured: "It's almost time, why didn't you come? Could you please send someone to remind me?"
Zhu Zhenchuan smiled cheekily and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Just wait. On the second day after their wedding, they almost slept until noon!"
Xu Zhi's face turned red and she took a sip from Zhu Zhenchuan.
Xu Fang and others all laughed.
Xu Ying laughed softly and said: "Yue Ya'er is thin-skinned. Let's not laugh at her when she comes later."
Everyone responded with a smile.
After waiting for a while, the newlyweds finally arrived.
Xu Jing's face was filled with joy, and he deliberately slowed down his pace, walking side by side with his newlywed wife who was weak and weak as she walked. Their legs were firmly held together.
"Sister and brothers-in-law have been waiting for a long time." Xu Jing, as thick-skinned as a city wall, smiled and bowed with his legs crossed.
Zhao Xiyan blushed slightly and followed her newlywed husband to the ceremony.
The eldest sister, Xu Fang, was smiling in front of her. She helped her sister-in-law up and said pleasantly: "We haven't waited long. As a family, there is no need to be polite."
Xu Zhi took over the conversation with a smile: "My father, the Queen, mother and concubine are not in the capital, and Mingyue is just a few of them, so I can be more casual."
The parents-in-law are not in sight, so the rules are indispensable. Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "He served tea to some sisters."
Xu Ying said with a smile: "Forget it, we have to go through the motions. Their meeting gifts are ready, so let's ask my younger siblings to bring them a cup of hot tea."
The maid came over with a tray. There were three cups of tea on the tray.
When you serve tea to your elders, you need to kneel down and give a big gift. When you serve tea to Sister Wei Yu, there is not so much details. You can just carry it over.
The three sisters smiled and accepted the teacups one by one, without any intention of making things difficult, and the greeting gifts they prepared were more generous than the other.
When the brothers-in-law arrived, things became more casual. Zhao Xiyan bowed with her hands folded, and the job of serving tea was immediately taken over by Xu Jing: "The eldest brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law, and the third brother-in-law, come and have tea."
Then, the nephews and nieces came to kowtow and salute their aunt.
Xu Fang has a son and a daughter. Xu Zhi has two sons, and the four children are older. Especially the two Zhu brothers, who are very smooth-tongued, and have an aunt who talks very sweetly.
Xu Ying's son, who was only a few months old, was lying in the nurse's arms, sucking his thumb with relish.
Zhao Xiyan took out the meeting gift prepared for her children. In this way, the tea ceremony was over.
Logically speaking, when you come to the east, you should kowtow in the ancestral hall and record the bride's name in the family tree. Xu Jing is the eldest son of the vassal, and the tablets of the ancestors of the Xu family are all in the Ancestral Temple, not to mention Zhao Xiyan.
, otherwise Xu Jing would not be qualified to enter the Ancestral Temple alone. The matter of recording the genealogy should be handled by the clan office.
Otherwise, that item is also omitted.
As for entering the palace to see the emperor and empress, Xu Jing also omitted it.
Xu Jing's reason was fair and aboveboard: "The emperor is in charge of everything during the month, and the empress is in charge of the harem, and they are very busy every month. As juniors, they should not enter the palace to make trouble. They can wait until the emperor and the empress are free to summon them before entering the palace.
It’s not too late to say hello.”
The real reason is known to everyone.
Following the precedent of Prince Yingchuan's concubine, there were not a few ladies in the capital who were qualified to enter the palace to pay their respects to the queen.
Zhao Xiyan agreed that it would be better to go to the palace less often.
Everyone talked and laughed, and at noon, the family had a lively lunch. After Xu Fang and Xu Zhi left, Xu Ying's family of three returned to their yard. Xu Jing immediately said to Zhao Xiyan: "He
I haven't slept all night and I'm very tired. Now go back and take a nap."
Bah! Why do you have the nerve to say that!
Zhao Xiyan blushed and spat at Xu Jing.
Xu Jing grinned and took Zhao Xiyan's hand to open the yard.
…
He took a nap and didn't get up until the evening, making Zhao Xiyan even more tired.
Zhao Xiyan asked for the east bed and was hugged by Xu Jing: "There are no outsiders in the palace. The third sister and the third brother-in-law will not disturb them. If you want to sleep, just sleep."
Huo Yan and Xie Jiao were staying in the palace before. Not long after Xu Jing returned from Jizhou, Huo Yan and Xie Jiao left the palace and returned to the Huo family's house.
There are only five serious masters in such a large palace. Xu Ying is the most considerate and will never disturb the newlyweds from their nap.
Zhao Xiyan's whole body seemed to have been taken apart and put back together again, every part of it was sore and weak. Her fist hit Xu Jing's chest, which seemed weak and weak: "It's all against me, he is so tired that he can't even open his eyes."
Xu Jing puffed up his chest and let Zhao Xiyan beat him, grinning and saying, "If you're tired, just sleep a little longer."
Zhao Xiyan was indeed very tired and quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xu Jing carefully put her in his arms, put his forehead against hers, and fell asleep together contentedly.
By the time the young couple stepped out of the house, it was already noon every other month.
After sleeping all night, Xu Jing, who was full of energy and ready to make a move, was scolded by Zhao Xiyan: "Ming Yue please come back to the Zhao Mansion, I don't want him to be embarrassed."
Xu Jing had to touch his nose, suppress the raging tide of emotion in the east, and accompany Zhao Xiyan on the carriage back to the Zhao Mansion.
A group of soldiers followed him on horseback.
Xu Shiyi laughed in a low voice and said: "The Crown Prince never walked in the carriage in the past, but Ming Yue is willing to accompany the Crown Princess in the carriage."
Xu Erwu smiled with an ambiguous expression: "How nice it would be to ride the carriage with my wife!"
Xu Shiyi sighed: "Stop my shameless face."
Xu Erwu chuckled.
The imperial concubine has finally married. Is Yuhan going to marry the maid? Mingyue is not waiting in the carriage, but the carriage shaft is walking outside the carriage. Xu Erwu specially rides his horse in front, winking and making Yuhan happy.
As for Xu San, he stayed in the new army camp. His master was very happy with his wedding and asked for leave for ten months. During those ten months, Xu San asked to train the new soldiers on his behalf.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Zhao Mansion.
The Crown Prince of Beihai got into the carriage with a happy face, stretched out his legs to carry the Crown Princess into the carriage. With such intimacy in front of people, the Crown Princess's cheeks were bright red, and her eyes were as bright as stars.
Xu Erwu saw this and laughed mischievously.
Zhao Mansion opened the main entrance, and everyone came to the main entrance to greet them.
Xu Jing smiled and went forward to greet everyone.
Zhao Xiyan walked forward with a slightly light and soft step, and first saluted her eldest aunt Sun. When she stood up, her eyes glanced around consciously. She couldn't see her biological father.
Come to think of it, Zhao Yuanming disguised himself to hide his traces and did not show up in the month of his wedding. Naturally, Mingyue would not show up in front of others.
Mrs. Sun held Zhao Xiyan's leg and said with a smile: "Please come into the palace, Princess Concubine."
Zhao Xiyan chuckled softly and said, "It's awkward to call him that way. Auntie is like what she used to do. Let's call him Yue Ya'er!"
Mrs. Sun happily changed her words and called her Crescent Moon. Her little cousin Zhao Queyu immediately came over, smiled and pulled Zhao Xiyan's other leg, and went to the main hall affectionately.
