Chapter 360: The flowers on Lianli’s branches are blooming
On June 18, the second prince got married.
Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement inside and outside the palace.
Early on the next morning, the bride got married and officially became the mistress of the family.
The housekeeper, the housekeeper, led a group of servants over to see the ceremony.
Jin Lingyi and the second prince sat side by side at the top, dignified and elegant.
Standing next to her were several maids and women, all of whom she had brought from her parents' home. They were carrying baskets with purses, velvet flowers, copper coins and other items in them, all of which were used to reward the servants.
Wu Qiqi stood out among the crowd. Firstly, her skin was fair and tender, and her appearance was outstanding. Secondly, her dress was different from that of ordinary servants.
Jin Lingyi saw her and smiled slightly.
The housekeeper understood and called Wu Qiqi to come forward. She introduced Jin Lingyi with a smile: "Prince Concubine, this is Aunt Wu in our house. She... has a bad voice and can't speak."
Wu Qiqi was poisoned and mute by Ma Feiyan. Everyone in the house knew it, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly on such an occasion.
"You look so delicate, and your temperament is also very gentle. Thanks to you serving His Highness these days, it's been really hard." Jin Lingyi helped Wu Qiqi, who was kneeling in front of him, "My dragon and phoenix bracelets are a pair.
, I’ll give you the one on my right hand!”
After saying that, he took off the red gold bracelet on his right hand and put it on Wu Qiqi's hand.
Wu Qiqi was obviously flattered. She wanted to refuse but was afraid of being rude. She was very embarrassed for a moment.
It was the second prince who said: "Just accept what the prince and concubine rewards you! From now on, do your best in everything you do and don't show any slights to the prince and concubine."
Wu Qiqi then knelt down, kowtowed, and accepted the bracelet.
The rest of the people also received rewards respectively. Jin Lingyi took advantage of the opportunity to reward the first meeting and got to know most of the servants in the mansion.
They had to go into the palace today to pay tribute to the emperor and the queen, because they had to wait for the emperor to leave the morning court, so there was no need to go too early.
After finishing all the affairs at home, he got into the car and went to the palace.
The emperor felt a little tired because he made a trip to the Eastern Capital and went to court for several days in a row.
In Yangze Palace, I received the gift from the second prince and his wife together with the empress, and ordered Zhang Ze to take out the rewards that had been prepared, and then said: "I have something else to do, so I will go back to the imperial study first. I have already asked the people in the imperial dining room to prepare it.
After lunch, go out of the palace!"
With that said, he hurried away.
The queen smiled and said to Jin Lingyi: "You look more dignified and majestic when you have your hair on your head. I don't have any good rewards, but I will give you a set of purple gold hair and face, inlaid with red coral. I'm afraid it's something you can't find anywhere else except in the palace."
"
Jin Lingyi thanked the queen, who said: "It's not worth anything. If you don't understand the rules, just ask your cousin Lan Ning."
Then he said to the second prince: "You are a newlywed, and I can't bear to assign you any errands. When you get there, you can just see if there is anything in the palace that needs help, and then you can do it."
"Thank you very much, Queen, for your understanding. I feel sorry for you." The second prince saluted quickly.
"That's too polite to say. You have worked hard for so many years without any credit." The Queen asked him to stand up, "You have also been implicated by the Ma family. Now that you have married a new wife, the past has been completely revealed.
It’s over.”
They all had another cup of tea, and the queen suddenly remembered something, put her head on her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, it's getting worse and worse. I told you before that I wanted to meet your biological mother Jiang Cairen after we got married, and I already said
I have spoken to His Majesty and His Majesty has agreed. You should go now while the weather is still cool.
As for lunch, ask them to send it to Suxin Palace. It will be the same if we sit at the same table another day, so there is no need to rush it now."
After hearing this, the second prince and Jin Lingyi couldn't help but bow down and thank the queen for her kindness.
Suxin Palace was almost forgotten in this palace. Before Jin Lingyi walked in, he was already aware of the deserted place.
There was only a crack left in the faded gate, and all that could be seen was the dilapidated bluestone path, covered with weeds.
The second prince opened the door, and the door shaft made a harsh creaking sound.
Aunt Mei came out quickly with a smile on her face.
When he saw Jin Lingyi clearly, the expression on his face became more and more joyful: "Old slave, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Second Highness and the Second Princess!"
Aunt Mei said and bent down, but was supported by the Second Prince and Jin Lingyi on the left and right.
"Hello Aunt Mei, I am the youngest daughter of the Jin family." Jin Lingyi called sweetly, "You are the elder, it is our turn to salute you."
"Ouch! You can't do it! You can't do it! You are the prince's concubine, and I am just an old servant." Aunt Mei quickly waved her hand, "But you are trying to break me!"
"In terms of common courtesy, we are the master and you are the servant, but for so many years, you have served your mother loyally and fulfilled your filial piety for us. You can no longer treat it as a master and servant." Jin Lingyi said, taking the hand from the maid next to him.
I bought a set of clothes and shoes and socks, "I made these with my own hands when I was preparing the dowry. It's a share for my mother and a share for you. It's a little bit of my heart!"
"Ouch! Well done. This old slave has really burnt incense in his last life and can wear the clothes you made by yourself." Aunt Mei shed tears of joy.
The gifts Jin Lingyi gave were more valuable than gold and silver, and no amount of money could buy this kind of kindness.
The second prince did not expect Jin Lingyi to be so thoughtful. He originally thought that this was just a marriage ordered by his parents.
In addition, during the seven or eight years he had been with Ma Feiyan, he had never experienced the true love between husband and wife.
Besides, Jin Lingyi was ten years younger than him, so he didn't expect this little girl to help him much.
But it had only been less than a day, and he had already looked at her with admiration several times.
When they saw Jiang Cairen inside, Jin Lingyi and the second prince bowed down to her upright.
"Good boy, get up. Today is the first time I see you. I have nothing to give you. The only thing I have is this hairpin that I have worn since I was a child. Although it is far from expensive, it is somewhat mine.
"My heart." Jiang Cairen said, taking off a silver hairpin from his head and gently putting it on Jin Lingyi's temple.
Outsiders didn't know it, but the second prince knew how important this hairpin was to his mother.
He gave it to Jin Lingyi as soon as they met, which shows that he is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Mother, you are truly a fairy from heaven." Jin Lingyi made no secret of his surprise after seeing Jiang Cairen. "I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you since I was a child! Not even in paintings."
"Silly boy, I am already old." Jiang Cairen touched Jin Lingyi's head lovingly, "You are a flower that only blooms, which makes people feel sad."
Then Jin Lingyi presented gifts that he had prepared, including clothes, shoes and socks made by himself, as well as a lot of food.
Each piece is carefully selected by her and is both practical and beautiful.
"Why did you bring so many things here?" Jiang Cairen said with a smile, "Others will laugh if they find out."
"It doesn't matter what they do," Jin Lingyi said with a nonchalant smile, "This is a wedding ceremony for the bride. No one will ask how many things she brought with her. It is not considered an infraction."
The second prince watched from the side, feeling warm and warm in his heart, but he couldn't help feeling wet.
