Chapter 1671 Gifts
Changyu looked at Mingda, and Mingda stepped forward and hugged the emperor's arm and shook it, "Father, please let us go out of the palace to play for a day. It happens that Manbao's sixth brother is getting married tomorrow, and we want to see the people outside.
Like getting married."
The emperor laughed with the queen and said, "Mingda is now thinking about getting married. Is it that we, Mingda, want to recruit a consort?"
Obviously trying to fool him.
"Father..." Mingda shook the emperor's arm, not happy that he would change the subject like this.
The emperor looked at Mingda's face full of expectations, and his heart softened, and he couldn't bear to refuse. Speaking of it, Mingda had not been out of the palace very much in the past two years, and in the previous two years, she was not in good health, and she had not been out of the palace as many times.
not much.
The emperor hesitated and looked at the queen secretly.
When Mingda saw this, he knew that his father had agreed in his heart. He immediately turned to his mother and asked, "Mother, please let us go out of the palace to have some fun."
Changyu didn't dare to be coquettish with his father, but he dared to be coquettish with the queen, so he stepped forward and hugged one of the queen's arms and begged her.
The queen smiled and asked, "First of all, tell me honestly what you are going to do when you leave the palace."
She smiled and said, "I've never seen you talk about leaving the palace to have fun before. Why are you thinking about going out of the palace so much lately?"
Mingda and Changyu glanced at Manbao secretly.
Man Bao was silent for a moment and then said, "They want to have a wedding banquet at my house."
The queen asked Mingda, "Is that so?"
Mingda nodded repeatedly and said: "Mother, we also want to see the public sentiment."
The queen could see that they were not telling the truth, so she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you can only go there for one day. You must come back before the palace door is locked. After leaving the palace, you are not allowed to compete with the people for profit and cause trouble."
The two nodded repeatedly, wishing they could nod their heads off.
The queen agreed, and the emperor had no objection. If he hadn't been busy, he would have wanted to go to the palace and have a look.
The Double Ninth Festival is here, and the people around Gyeonggi Province are having a hard time this year. The imperial court decided to relax the age of elders Shi En to fifty this year, and those over seventy can still enter the palace to have a meal with the emperor, so that the emperor can comfort them.
.
So the emperor is very busy this year.
Mingda and Changyu cheered in low voices, and couldn't help but leave hand in hand with Manbao in front of the empress.
After seeing this, the emperor said: "Mingda and Changyu have few friends of the same age. Since we are not going to recruit consorts for them in the past two years, why not recruit a few more girls into the palace to accompany them to study?"
The queen said: "Nowadays, they only study for half a day every day. Most people of their age outside are planning to get married, so why bother them?"
The emperor thought this was a good idea, "Didn't Zhou Man say that if a woman gets married too early and gets pregnant, it will have a negative impact on the lifespan of her children? I think the daughter of a powerful family did get married too early. Since the palace has postponed the marriage for a few years,
Then we can postpone it for a few years."
The queen then laughed in a low voice and said, "Are you afraid that they will marry you too early, and Changyu and the others will be too late, and snatch away all the good sons-in-law?"
The emperor coughed slightly and turned away uncomfortably, but that was indeed what he meant. He couldn't Mingda and Chang Yu pick up what others had left, right?
Naturally, the Queen also had some selfish motives and began to think about this matter.
Mingda and Changyu had already pulled Manbao away and started discussing with Manbao, "Where should we meet tomorrow?"
Man Bao said: "You can go play by yourself tomorrow. I guess I won't be able to find you until after lunch."
Chang Yu was puzzled, "Why?"
"I have to watch my sixth brother get married. My sixth brother will go to welcome the bride at noon. After my sixth brother and his sixth sister-in-law pay their respects to heaven and earth, my mother and I will have to entertain the relatives of the Qiu family. After dinner, they should be ready.
It’s past time, so you can play now without waiting for me.”
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Only one thing, don't quarrel or fight with others, otherwise if you get into trouble, I will also suffer."
Chang Yu assured: "Don't worry, Mingda and I have good tempers, and we won't quarrel or fight with others."
Mingda said: "I am very interested in your sixth brother getting married. Can I go to your house for a wedding banquet?"
Manbao wanted them to go, but he didn't want them to go, so he sighed: "You are my friends, it would be best if you could go; but you are also princesses, and if you come here, all the guests will
Kneel down to welcome him."
"What's wrong with Fengjia and not Fengjia?" Mingda said: "We leave the palace incognito, and we don't go out in a big way. There is no need to greet us specially. You can just tell your family that we are your friends."
Changyu had attended the wedding of a noble daughter from a noble family, but Mingda had not. She had been in poor health since she was a child, and generally she could not go to crowded places unless the emperor and empress personally took her with her.
So Mingda is particularly interested.
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Okay, then you go out and play by yourself tomorrow, and then come to my house at noon. My sixth brother should have brought the bride back by then, so you can just join in the fun."
"Don't we need to follow you from the beginning?"
Man Bao shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's rare for you to leave the palace once, so you can't just watch the wedding once, right?"
Man Bao felt sorry for them when she thought about it. Every time she left the palace during the holidays, she felt that the time was so short. There were so many fun things to do and delicious food to eat.
For example, Xuandu Temple and Huguo Temple, even if I have been there several times, I am still very happy to go there again, and I can find something different every time.
Mingda and Changyu also cherished this opportunity to leave the palace, so they nodded firmly and agreed. They felt that Manbao was indeed their intimate person, and they had even thought of this.
So the two of them turned around and went back to think about what gifts to take to the wedding. Mingda said: "I have a peacock fan. It was given to me by my third brother after Nanfan paid tribute two years ago. I will give it to her."
Chang Yu said: "I remember that there is a Shu brocade table screen in my warehouse. It is embroidered with Shu bamboo, which means rising steadily. I thought at the time that I was a princess, and it was of no use to have this, but the table screen
It really looks good, so I’ve been keeping it. Now I think it’s just right for her, so I’ll give it to her.”
The aunt next to them listened to their discussion for a long time and couldn't help laughing and said: "Princess, just drink the wedding wine and give the gift money."
Mingda said: "Gift money is gift money, but this gift is given to Man Bao alone."
Changyu also nodded, looked at Mingda and said, "This way we can talk about leaving the palace next time."
The aunts immediately stopped talking, and the maids went to help find the two things they were talking about, and then found boxes to put them in.
Not only did they give gifts themselves, they also ran to the prince and princess to tell them that they were going to Zhou Man's house for a wedding banquet tomorrow.
The Crown Princess was now heavy and it was even more difficult to walk. After hearing this, she supported the palace maid's hand and said with a smile: "Then you can give us a gift."
The prince had no objection, but when the two of them ran to find the third prince, the third prince pretended not to understand.
Recently, he was practicing martial arts with a martial arts master in the martial arts training ground. Even so, he also had to ride a horse. He spent no less than half an hour on the horse every day.
He felt like he was back in school again, and then he was so tired, because he was fat and his flesh was tender, and the inner thighs hurt so much from being rubbed. He didn't want to see Zhou Man now, and he didn't want to hear anything about her, not even her name.
hear.
