Because they are Chinese New Year clothes, they are all red, true red, water red, bright red, and are made in various patterns.
Xiao Jingtong doesn't know whether he followed the late princess or Xiao Ci. His skin color is very fair, he has a round face and big eyes. He is cute in nature, so it is very appropriate to wear these red colors.
Song Qinghuan took a look at it and said: "It's better to wear a really red one to the palace for the banquet on New Year's Eve, a bright red one for the first day of the new year, a bright red one for the second day of the new year..."
This time, Xiao Jingtong was not as stubborn as her. After they finished talking about clothes and jewelry, they coaxed Xiao Jingtong into submission, and then asked Taxue to send her back.
When it came time to enter the palace on New Year's Eve, Xiao Jingtong actually wore that red coat and skirt, with red lilac flowers embroidered on the cuffs and skirt, a double bun with two golden flowers on her neck, and
Wearing a red gold necklace.
In the past few months, she had gained some weight, became rounder, and looked more and more like a little girl.
Song Qinghuan looked at her outfit and praised her: "Sister Tong, she looks really good today."
Xiao Jing was not very young, but he loved beauty very much. Hearing this, he raised his head in disgust.
This year's New Year's Eve, I went to the palace for a banquet, and after the banquet was over, I still had to go back to Prince Rui's Mansion, but it was different from previous years.
Xiao Ci put on the new clothes that Song Qinghuan had specially prepared for him. He couldn't help but smile a little as he watched her gentle-looking children explaining the things they should pay attention to when entering the palace.
I am also looking forward to this year very much.
In previous years, Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong were raised by Empress Dowager Jiang. Although they went to the palace every year to have a banquet with the two children on New Year's Eve, after the banquet was over, he was the only one who returned to the palace.
This year, we went together and came back together.
Since it was time to celebrate the New Year, Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong did not cause any trouble.
From the time he left the palace until he entered the palace, everything was peaceful and quiet.
As soon as the carriage entered the palace gate and passed through the palace road, Xiao Jingtong became even more excited.
She hadn't seen Empress Dowager Jiang for quite some time, and she was still thinking about her even before she came out of the palace.
The family of four got off the carriage and went to Empress Dowager Jiang's Cining Palace to pay her respects.
They entered the palace early, and there was no one in Cining Palace yet. During this New Year, Empress Dowager Jiang did not seek any bad luck. As soon as the palace people reported it, she summoned them into the palace.
When Xiao Jingtong saw Empress Dowager Jiang, his eyes narrowed and he called out from afar: "Grandma Huang."
Then he rushed forward and started to act coquettishly: "Grandmother, Tong'er misses you so much. You don't even let Tong'er enter the palace to see you."
Empress Dowager Jiang wore a purple dress with 10,000 characters on her hair and a red gold and jade headband. She held Xiao Jingtong in her arms, with a kind smile on her face, and knocked Xiao Jingtong on the head: "These days
Did you listen to the princess?"
"The Imperial Grandmother said that you have to be good and obedient, and that's why the Imperial Grandmother let you enter the palace."
Xiao Jingtong pouted in dissatisfaction and stopped talking immediately.
Xiao Ci, Song Qinghuan and Xiao Jingchuan came forward to salute and say hello. They exchanged a few polite words and pretended to be kind and filial to their children. When King Wu and his family came to say hello, they withdrew from Cining Palace.
Xiao Jingtong Lai was reluctant to leave because of Empress Dowager Jiang. Empress Dowager Jiang also pulled her with a smile and asked her to follow her to the banquet.
It was still early for the banquet, and Xiao Ci wanted to go to Emperor Chengxing. Xiao Jingchuan didn't want to be alone with Song Qinghuan, so he found an excuse to leave. He left Song Qinghuan alone and went to Princess Rouzhen.
.
Princess Rouzhen was still dressing up, and she was no stranger to Song Qinghuan, so she directly asked Wu Nian to lead him into the dormitory.
As soon as Song Qinghuan entered the bedroom, he smelled the incense on her clothes and couldn't help frowning: "You are making such a fuss, the incense on these clothes is different from what you usually use."
Rouzhen was sitting in front of the dressing table asking the servants to comb her hair. She smiled when she heard this and said, "I'm tired of the ones I usually use, so I thought I'd change them."
Song Qinghuan looked at her once, but he didn't believe what he said. He ate two snacks with the tea brought by the palace servants. After she had packed up and sent the palace servants away, he said: "What are you doing again?"
What tricks are you playing?"
The incense on her body was really fragrant and a bit cloying, and the dress she wore today also made her look much older, without the charm that a young girl should have.
There was no one in the hall at this moment, so Rouzhen sat next to Song Qinghuan and whispered: "You're not the emperor brother yet."
There is only one royal brother in her mouth, and that is Prince Xiao Mu.
Song Qinghuan raised her brows, and then she said: "The prince has taken a fancy to the grandson of Su Da, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Today, he also brought him to the palace for the banquet. He thought that I could meet him and wait until next year.
Let's make a marriage arrangement."
"The direct grandson of Master Su?" Song Qinghuan murmured, but he couldn't remember such a person coming. Seeing Rouzhen's sad face, he asked, "You don't like it?"
Rouzhen did not want her to tell lies, and said bluntly: "The Su family are all weak scholars, and everyone in the Su family is mediocre in appearance. I have seen Su Qin's portrait, but I really don't like it."
Speaking of which, mediocre appearance is probably the biggest problem.
Song Qinghuan twisted another piece of pastry and took a bite, seeing through it without saying anything.
Just ask: "What do you like?"
After a pause, he then said: "According to the prince's character, no matter what you like, it won't be what you want."
This is the most annoying thing. Princess Rouzhen looks young, but she is very scheming. If she wants to reject the Su family, there are ways to reject the Su family, the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Chen family.
of.
You can't refuse everyone.
Xiao Mu's marriage to Rouzhen was not something that happened in a day or two. He was also an ambitious man and said that he would not treat Rouzhen badly, but Rouzhen's marriage must be profitable.
Princess Rouzhen sighed angrily: "I don't like Su Qin anyway, so I'll send him away first."
It's not easy for Song Qinghuan to interfere in this matter. The prince is not a very generous person. If he messes up his affairs, he will definitely be penalized.
So he could only comfort him and said, "It's good to go and meet him. Maybe his parents are more beautiful than the portraits."
Rouzhen glanced at Song Qinghuan and said nothing, but said in her heart: Even if he looks better than the portrait, she wouldn't like it.
I didn't say this, so I didn't want to say more. I laughed sarcastically and asked, "Did General Song say when you'll be back?"
The old lady of Song passed away. According to the etiquette, Song Youyu and Song Wende had to decline and observe filial piety. Now Song Wende does not have to go on errands, but Song Youyu went to Liaodong and has not come back yet.
Speaking of this, Song Qinghuan lowered his eyes and smiled: "I didn't know that the letter was sent a long time ago, but I was not careful at all. He now belongs to the Cao Family Army in Liaodong, and even if he wants to return, he has to look at the other side."
the meaning of."
Then he also smiled and said jokingly: "Why, you still refuse to let him go now?"
