Chapter 340 of the main volume of the Ruyi Little Man before leaving. From the beginning of February until now, when she served as the wedding messenger, except for most of the time at home, Tang Ning went to sit in the natural center every day, and also went there every two days.
Once in the palace, but since the Ministry of Rites confirmed the final etiquette regulations a few days ago, he had no reason to enter the palace to see Zhao Man again.
Although as a wedding messenger, it was easier for him to see Zhao Man than others, but since he went to Changning Palace every day for nothing, there was no guarantee that others would not suspect that he had other thoughts and intentions for the princess.
The day of departure has been set. The third day of March is said to be an auspicious day calculated by Qintian Supervisor. Now it is almost late February, and there is only less than half a month left before departure.
He hadn't seen Zhao Man for several days, and the next time he saw him would be the day of departure.
In order to comfort her that the temporary separation was for the sake of meeting each other better in the future, he wasted no time in talking.
Shuxiu Palace.
Concubine Shu put down the book in her hand and asked: "Du Juan, if I remember correctly, today is already eighteen, right?"
A palace maid serving beside her immediately said: "Back to your Majesty, yesterday I was eighteen, and today I am nineteen."
"So fast." Concubine Shu stood up and said, "There is only less than half a month left until the third day of March."
Du Juan nodded and said, "In fourteen days, the princess will get married."
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Man'er for several days, and I don't know how she is doing now." She put on a coat and said, "Go to Changning Palace."
Walking out of Shuxiu Palace, the palace maid named Du Juan said: "I heard that Shang Yi in the palace is teaching the princess etiquette these days."
Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "Her mother-in-law left early and was always pampered by His Majesty. It must not be easy to learn palace etiquette now."
Du Juan followed Concubine Shu and said, "Last time I met the princess in the palace, she was much more haggard than usual."
"Being born into the royal family, she has to bear these things." Concubine Shu sighed and said, "That's why I want to go over and comfort her, in case the child can't think about it..."
The two of them were talking and walked to Changning Palace.
After passing through the palace gate and entering the courtyard with a garden in front of the palace, I suddenly heard a burst of singing.
"Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the River Continent. A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight..."
The song was obviously from the mouth of a young girl, and it was pleasant to the ear. There was irrepressible joy in the voice, as well as an indescribable emotion.
Concubine Shu took two steps forward before the girl's voice suddenly stopped, and she said in surprise: "Why is your queen here..."
Concubine Shu was stunned, looking at the girl whose whole body was filled with joy. She had prepared a lot of words of comfort, but they were all useless at this moment.
Not only was the girl not as haggard as she had imagined, but she was in high spirits. She had been dissatisfied with the marriage before, but today she sang "Guan Ju", which praised the love between men and women.
The situation in Changning Palace was completely different from what she had imagined.
Zhao Man came over and held her hand affectionately. Concubine Shu came to her senses and asked, "How is Man'er's etiquette learning going?"
"I've learned everything." Zhao Man looked a little proud and said, "Xu Shangyi also praised me for learning quickly..."
"That's good." Fang Shufei nodded and said, "We are leaving in half a month. Are you ready?"
"There's still half a month left..." Zhao Man counted the numbers on his fingers and said, "I've been ready for a long time. I really hope this half month will pass quickly."
Half an hour later, Concubine Fang Shu came out of Changning Palace with a confused expression on her face.
After standing there for a while, she shook her head and murmured: "Today's young people are really becoming more and more incomprehensible..."
After leaving Changning Palace, she personally cooked a bowl of soup and sent it to the imperial study. When she returned to the palace and passed by the Hanlin Academy, she happened to meet Fang Zhe who was coming out of the courtyard.
Fang Zhe stopped, looked at her, and said, "Second sister."
Concubine Fang Shu nodded, looked at him and asked, "How is that girl Xinyue doing lately? She hasn't been to Shuxiu Palace for a long time."
Fang Zhe said: "She's pretty good, but she's just a bit playful."
"She is still young, so it's okay to be playful. When she grows up to the age of Man'er, she will naturally become sensible." Thinking of what just happened, she shook her head slightly and said, "Being sensible doesn't necessarily mean she will be more playful than others."
When I was a kid, I would cry and laugh sometimes, but I am really old and I can’t see what young people like them are thinking in their hearts."
Fang Zhe looked forward and said slowly: "Young people should do some things that young people should do while they are young. Even if they make some mistakes because of impulsiveness, it is better than regretting it later..."
…
Throughout February, the news that attracted the most attention from the people of the capital was naturally the news of Princess Pingyang's marriage.
It is not unusual for the royal family to marry a princess. In recent years, one has been married almost every few years. However, the previous princesses were all married to the sons of nobles in the capital or the sons of important ministers. This time Princess Pingyang married the Chu State,
No matter in terms of scale or influence, it cannot be compared with the previous princesses.
Chu and Chen have been friendly neighbors to each other for decades and have a common enemy. Over the years, their relationship has become increasingly estranged. This marriage is a direct manifestation of the reunification of the diplomatic relations between Chen and Chu, which is welcomed by the people of Chen.
.
Of course, such a big thing as marriage is related to the interests between countries and benefits the people of both countries. No one cares whether the princess is willing to marry or what kind of life she will live after marrying.
There must be someone who cares about things that others don't care about or don't care about.
In addition to spending time with her family these days, Tang Ning has not been idle these days. She has prepared a lot of medicine by herself. After all, he is not very good at martial arts at the moment and can only rely on surprise to win.
Driven by the desire to die, Tang Ning tried the medicine on Tang Yaoyao. Within a quarter of an hour, she fell asleep without knowing it. When she woke up, she didn't find that it was him who had moved her hands or feet.
I have to find an opportunity to remind Tang Nuxia, who is good at martial arts, that although she is good at martial arts, her awareness of precautions is very poor. Fortunately, he was the one who drugged her this time. If it had been anyone else, the consequences would have been disastrous.
With Lao Zheng here, these things he prepared are just in case and may not be used.
More than half a month has passed, and Nannan's illness has almost recovered. She can run and jump, and she can follow Fang Xinyue like a little follower all day long, and Lao Zheng can leave with peace of mind.
Now that things have happened, Tang Ning has already made preparations. Everything is ready and just waiting to set off.
Su Ru was busy in the room for a while and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, please remember to take this baggage with you."
Tangning looked at a huge bundle on the bed and asked, "What is this?"
Su Rudao: "I don't know how long I will be gone this time. I have prepared several sets of clothes for you in all seasons, just in case."
Tang Ning had just put the baggage into the box when Zhong Yi handed over another small baggage and said, "My husband, I'm taking these with you too. They'll be useful on the road."
Tang Ning opened the bag and took a look. There was a thick pile of banknotes inside.
"There's no need for these." These banknotes are universal in Chen State, but when they go to Chu State, it is a bit troublesome to exchange them. Moreover, this time they are going abroad at public expense, and all the expenses are reimbursed by the state, so there is no need to go abroad by themselves.
Post silver.
Zhong Yi wrapped the baggage again and said, "Mr., I'd better take it with me, in case it comes in use?"
Even if you want to bring some money, you don't need to bring so many banknotes. Although the face value is not very large, it adds up to hundreds of thousands taels.
Half a year is neither long nor short, but it is the longest period of separation from them. Even though I started preparing for it a long time ago, I still feel that there is not enough time.
After a long time, Tang Ning walked out of the room, stood in the courtyard, and sighed leisurely.
The prince of Chu State is really struggling after he is full and full. Why should he ask for a marriage when he has nothing to do?
He walked out of the house and saw Mr. Tang walking out from next door.
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "Hello, Uncle Tang."
Tang Yaoyao's father never treated him well, but this time he actually gave him a smile before getting into the carriage and leaving.
Tang Ning was a little surprised, but then she thought that after Rich Man Tang left, couldn't he go to the main entrance to find Fairy Tang?
He was already familiar with climbing over the wall and entering Tang Yaoyao's small courtyard, but rarely entered through the main entrance. He stepped into Tang Yaoyao's courtyard and saw her sitting at the stone table in the courtyard in a daze.
