Chapter 1311 Flower Appreciation Banquet
Dong Shi looked at the child in her mother's arms, and she loved her eyes: "Yes, this is all thanks to Imperial Physician Huang. During this time, Imperial Physician Huang has been taking care of the two children almost every step of the way!"
"Speaking of Imperial Physician Huang, I thought of something, please come here..." Mrs. Dong smiled and patted the sleeping child in her arms, "There is a little girl named A Rong at Imperial Physician Huang's house, she has reached the age of Ji, we I've inquired about it and haven't gotten engaged yet, I met him by chance on the street last time, and he's a warm-hearted person, what do you think about matching Changyuan?"
Dong Shi looked at her mother in a little astonishment, and immediately understood her mother's intentions.
My own mother, Mrs. Dong, still knew that Dong Changyuan was the best educated and most promising junior in Dong's family. If Abao hadn't become the emperor, her mother would definitely pick her granddaughter-in-law.
But when A Bao becomes the emperor, if Dong Changyuan is chosen to be an official and capable father-in-law, according to A Bao's temperament, he will definitely take care of him. Involving the relationship between the DPRK and China will inevitably constrain Dong Changyuan.
Although Mrs. Dong is old, she has always been very clear-headed. She is not saying that she loves her granddaughter more than her own grandson, but... Although Mrs. Dong is a girl, she also has great ambitions. Qingyan said that the mountains and rivers will be unified, and the world will be peaceful that day.
What's more, as early as in Dengzhou... when Mrs. Dong and Dong Qingyue knew that Bai Qingyan had the intention to reach the top, they told Bai Qingyan that the Dong family did their best to help Bai Qingyan.
Since the Dong family has made an oath, they will spare no effort and will never take part in fakes.
"If my mother is interested, why don't I find a name and hold a flower viewing feast, so that all the daughters from every family will come, and my mother will bring Tingzhen and the others together!" Mrs. Dong thought of the Bai family. "It's just right, except for Ah Yun...the others are not engaged yet, let my sisters-in-law take a look together to see if there is any promising daughter-in-law."
"Okay, okay!" Madam Dong said several good times in a row.
"What's so good about it? Grandma agreed to mother so readily?"
Before Bai Qing's speaker arrived, his voice came first, and he stepped into the main hall with his skirt in hand.
Sitting with Mrs. Dong on the soft couch by the window, Mrs. Dong, who was wearing a gold-woven grape-purple shirt with blessing patterns, and a black skirt, was holding the child in her arms. He turned his head and looked out.
I saw Bai Qingyan, who was dressed in homely plain clothes with narrow sleeves, walking towards the inner room through the light-colored golden curtains hung on the columns on both sides of the main hall by golden hooks wrapped around branches.
"I was just talking to your grandmother about holding a flower viewing feast, so that all the ladies in the capital city can come, and show your younger brothers if there is any suitable daughter-in-law." Dong said with a smile.
This is the first time Mrs. Dong saw Mrs. Dong after Bai Qingyan "returned to Dadu". Seeing that her granddaughter was thinner than last time, she looked good. Handing joy to the wet nurse's arms, she stood up and went forward to salute.
"Grandmother!" Bai Qingyan hurried to support Mrs. Dong who was about to kneel down, "Grandmother, what are you doing!"
"Your Majesty's intentions, I know, but I still have to be polite!" Mrs. Dong patted Bai Qingyan's hand with kind eyes, signaling Bai Qingyan to let go.
"Grandmother, if you kneel down, it will shorten Abao's life!" Bai Qingyan said to Mrs. Dong with a straight face, "And if you kneel, Abao will also kneel, let's kneel here and kowtow together , You said... how funny this picture is."
Mrs. Dong was so teased by Bai Qingyan that she couldn't hold back her smile, and pointed her eyes at the nurses and mothers around her: "Originally, there are many people outside the palace who often go to the palace to talk, if this ceremony is also avoided, It's inevitable that people will discuss..."
"Grandmother, don't worry, my mother is all loyal servants of the Bai family here, and this matter will not be spread!" Bai Qingyan helped Mrs. Dong to sit down on the soft couch, "Your old man just sit quietly. "
Bai Qingyan's mother Dong and several aunts, as well as Bai Qingyan's side, including even the wet nurse, were all selected from among the loyal servants of the Bai family, so they were all trustworthy.
Only then did Mrs. Dong nod her head in reassurance, and then took Xiyue from the nurse and hugged her in her arms, with a kind smile on her brows and eyes: "I said before that our sons of Abao are difficult, but God will give us a gift in one fell swoop." Bao sent two of them, our Abao is really blessed and blessed by the heavens."
Bai Qingyan took Kangle from Dong's arms. When the little girl with some flesh on her face smacked her small lips, she could see two shallow dimples at the corners of her lips. It was very beautiful. Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly The little face was blushing, as if she had sensed that her mother was coming, the little one rubbed against Bai Qingyan's arms, and Bai Qingyan's heart melted.
Mrs. Dong's smile deepened, and there was warmth in the corners of her eyes: "This Xiaokangle is really similar to Abao when she was young, and she must be a great beauty when she grows up."
Mrs. Dong deliberately avoided mentioning Xiao Rongyan, for fear of making Bai Qingyan sad.
"It doesn't matter if she's beautiful or not, as long as she's healthy..." Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
She named the child Kangle because she hoped that the child would live a healthy and happy life, other than that... Bai Qingyan didn't force it.
This is probably the greatest expectation of every mother for her child.
"Since my grandmother has entered the palace, she will stay in the palace for a few days as a companion to my mother!" Bai Qingyan looked up at Mrs. Dong, "Grandma, don't feel that there is nothing wrong with this trivial matter. ...I can still call the shots."
Mrs. Dong glanced at her daughter, then at the little one in her arms, and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll just stay for a few days, and give my two little great-grandchildren a lot of hugs."
"Auntie can let the third aunt and fourth aunt take care of the flower feast. Now Auntie has two children by her side, second aunt has a hopeful brother, fifth aunt has Xiaoba, and fourth aunt has a quiet temperament. , spent almost half of the day in the Buddhist hall! The third aunt has always been restless, and now it is inevitable that she will be lonely in her knees. Let the third aunt organize the flower viewing banquet, and the fourth aunt helps, which can be regarded as a distraction for the two aunts."
"Okay, what you said is reasonable, let's do it!" Mrs. Dong nodded.
That night, Wang Hanbing, the envoy of the Yan State, and Pingyi, the personal guard of the first emperor of the Yan State, quietly arrived in the capital city under the protection of the Pingyang Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At the beginning, Xiao Rongyan asked Murong Li to send Wang Hanbing to Dazhou first, and later asked Pingyi to pretend to chase Wang Hanbing with his own letter, but actually asked Pingyi's guard Wang Hanbing to go to the capital first.
Wang Hanbing knew that the regent was going to be an envoy to Dadu City, so he sneaked into Dadu City under the cover of night, but he did not reveal his identity as Yan envoy.
