Chapter 152 Meeting Family
Yan Shixu chatted with Xie Zhenrong for a while and brought up the matter of Wen Lier.
"Empress, Noble Concubine Wen has not seen her family since entering the palace. A few days ago, Minister Wen proposed to bring his family into the palace to see Noble Concubine Wen and the eldest prince, and I have approved it. Once they arrive, please make arrangements."
Xie Zhenrong was stunned, but reacted quickly.
"Given Concubine Wen's current status, it's not too much for her to meet her family. When they arrive, I'll send someone to make the arrangements."
Yan Shixu looked at Xie Zhenrong doubtfully.
She was so calm and didn't argue with him, which made him feel inexplicably unreal and strange.
What he came here to say today has already been explained, and he still has a lot of things to deal with.
Yan Shixu asked Madam Zhuang and others to take good care of the queen, then got up and left.
Xie Zhenrong looked at his back, motionless like an old monk in meditation.
However, the tears in her eyes flowed silently down her face, and her eyes were full of death.
Nanny Zhuang stood by the bed, blocking everyone else's view.
He sent everyone out, then took out his handkerchief and wiped Xie Zhenrong's tears with a look of pity on his face.
Xie Zhenrong suddenly threw herself into her arms, tears streaming down her face.
She suppressed her sobs, which sounded like the cry of a cuckoo.
Aunt Zhuang's eyes also turned red in an instant. She gently stroked her back, silently comforting her.
Wen Li'er got up early in the morning and ordered the palace servants to clean the Bixi Palace from top to bottom, inside and out, leaving not even a fallen leaf in the yard.
She was too anxious and paced back and forth in the hall, wondering when her parents and brother would enter the palace.
Xiaoxiao was lying in the rocking chair, her eyes moving as she walked, looking very smart.
Wen Li'er was walking when she slapped her head.
She forgot to write the menu!
This is the first time that my parents and brother have come to the palace, so I have to let them have a good meal.
She asked Nanny Qin and Qingmei Qingzhu to help her think of dishes, and she took notes on paper.
As he wrote on, he filled up a whole sheet of rice paper.
Nanny Qin and Qingmei Qingzhu have been serving Wen Lier for nearly three years, and this is the first time they have seen her so excited.
But if you think about it, you can understand it.
How can I not be excited after not seeing my parents for three years?
When a girl from an ordinary family gets married, she can always go back to her parents' home once or twice a year, as long as the distance between the two places is not too far.
But it was a little different when entering the palace. Even to communicate with family members, one needed the emperor's grace.
Wen Li'er was extremely happy, but the Wen family was not calm either.
Liang Yuhe rummaged through boxes and cabinets, looking for clothes to wear when entering the palace today.
She frowned, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
"Why can't I find anything suitable? I have to dress decently when I go to the palace to see Li'er."
The corners of Wen Tingkuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Because their family's visit to the palace was a private visit specially authorized by the emperor, they were allowed to wear casual clothes.
But this also completely exposed how serious his wife's decision-making difficulty was.
Wen Tingkuan reminded her, "Madam, the dress you picked out yesterday, embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and silver patterns, is quite nice..."
Liang Yuhe shook her head repeatedly: "Looking at it now, it's not suitable for my age. If I wear it, people will laugh at me for pretending to be young."
Wen Tingkuan: "...Then that purple gauze dress with ancient smoke patterns that you picked out the other day looks dignified, is that the one?"
Liang Yuhe bit her lip and shook her head.
"That one looks a bit old-fashioned and doesn't suit my skin tone. If Li'er saw it, she'd definitely think I wasn't having a good time at home."
Wen Tingkuan was very upset.
Liang Yuhe was angry: "What's that expression on your face? You despise me!"
Wen Tingkuan quickly stood up and tried to appease the man: "How is that possible? Even if I despise myself, I won't despise you, Madam!"
As he spoke, Wen Tingkuan personally took out a sky-blue skirt embroidered with auspicious clouds and mist for her.
"This one is absolutely perfect. It complements your complexion without looking too old."
Liang Yuhe took the skirt and tried it on herself, uncertainly asking, "Really?"
Wen Tingkuan nodded vigorously: "Really!"
Liang Yuhe put the skirt aside.
"You men can't trust your judgment."
She hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'd better wear this one."
As she spoke, she took out a floor-length skirt with gold embroidery and changed into it.
Wen Tingkuan: “…”
In the courtyard, Wen Zhiyan saw that his parents had not come out yet, so he came over and knocked on the door to ask what was going on.
He wore a moon-white robe, covered with bamboo leaf pattern kesi silk, and the collar was edged with silver-gray curling grass brocade.
There is a belt around the waist, with hangings of a white jade inkstone drip, a gold-inlaid sachet and a green silk poetry bag.
He is a gentleman who is as gentle as jade.
Liang Yuhe looked at her son's appearance and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.
The family arrived at the palace gate in a carriage.
The Yulin soldiers guarding the gate had already received the order. After verifying the person's identity, they let him into the palace.
When Xie Zhenrong learned that the Wen family had arrived, he immediately sent two eunuchs to take them to the Bixi Palace.
Wen Li'er was looking forward to it for a long time, and finally heard a loud announcement coming from the door.
"——Minister Wen, accompanied by Madam Wen and Young Master Wen, requests an audience."
Nanny Qin had just returned from giving instructions in the kitchen when she heard the announcement and shouted, "What are you shouting about? Hurry and invite the three nobles in!"
Wen Li'er vaguely heard the sound outside, and a strong light suddenly burst out in her eyes.
She couldn't wait any longer, so she picked up her skirt and ran out.
Seeing her parents and brother from afar, Wen Li'er couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes and they flowed down.
By the time she ran up to the three people, her eyes were already blurred with tears and she couldn't see them clearly.
Wen Tingkuan's eyes were a little red. He was about to salute, but was stopped by Wen Li'er.
"Dad, what are you doing!"
She cried loudly, threw herself into Liang Yuhe's arms, and called her mother loudly.
Liang Yuhe couldn't help herself and hugged her back, and they both cried together.
Wen Zhiyan held his forehead helplessly and reminded them, "Mother, Li'er, it's a great joy to have the Emperor's grace to see you today. Don't cry anymore."
Liang Yuhe thought that since they finally met, she shouldn't cry, but she couldn't help it.
Wen Li'er raised her head from her mother's arms and looked at Wen Zhiyan with her watery eyes.
"elder brother."
Wen Zhiyan's heart suddenly softened, and he reached out and rubbed her head.
