However, his expression unexpectedly calmed down: "Is the Marquis threatening me?"
This is the second time. The first time was when he substituted Su Wanyan for him in marriage into Prince Gong's mansion.
Marquis Yuanning hurriedly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I dare not. I only hope that Your Majesty can give the Marquis's family justice."
Emperor Yuanhe gritted his teeth and took a deep breath of anger: "I will give you justice, but not now."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yuanning was delighted, but he did not show it on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Furthermore..." Emperor Yuanhe's gaze darkened slightly: "Aren't you worried that no one will dare to propose marriage? It's alright, I will keep an eye on your daughter's marriage."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Yuanning's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, the emperor discovered that he intended to form a marriage alliance with the Xia family, so he bestowed Su Muqing upon Prince Gong with a decree.
Now, to whom does he intend to bestow Su Muqing?
Marquis Yuanning clenched his fist in his sleeve, his mind racing with thoughts of rebuttal, but then he wondered if this was Emperor Yuanhe testing him.
He calmed down and kowtowed, saying, "Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace."
Emperor Yuanhe was not as good-tempered as him: "Go back and keep your mouths shut! If I hear these words again, don't blame me for being impolite to your Marquis's mansion!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make sure they reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors."
This little incident between Emperor Yuanhe and Marquis Yuanning did not spread from the palace.
The Princess's residence.
When the eldest princess entered the palace to celebrate the New Year with Emperor Yuanhe, he was displeased, but he didn't say anything openly. He just scolded her in private and sent the imperial physician to keep an eye on the princess's condition.
In addition, during the time the eldest princess was in the palace, Emperor Yuanhe was asked by the imperial physicians to take his pulse almost every day, and the concubines in the harem were also under constant scrutiny under the pretext of having their pulses checked.
During that time, the concubines in the palace were all puzzled. Why did they need to have their pulse checked every few days during the New Year?
But Emperor Yuanhe allowed it.
Fortunately, until the eldest princess left the palace on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, neither Emperor Yuanhe nor the concubines in the palace showed any symptoms, which reassured Emperor Yuanhe.
Since he has no symptoms, it's probably because there's something unclean in the Princess's residence, and it has nothing to do with the Princess's illness itself.
As a result, everything in the main courtyard of the Princess's residence, except for the people, was replaced inside and out.
At the same time, the eldest princess noticed that Su He's rash was beginning to subside, and even her bright red skin was slowly returning to normal.
Upon asking, I learned that it was a folk remedy given by Si Yang.
The eldest princess disliked the prince consort, but this time, even though she felt disdain, she didn't say anything. She ordered someone to bring the medicine according to the folk remedy, boiled it, and made a medicinal bath. Sure enough, the red and rashy skin was not so itchy and felt much more comfortable.
Finally, the chaos that had gripped the Princess's residence for days subsided.
After the Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar calendar, we welcome the Dragon Raising its Head Festival on the second day of the second month.
After the Dragon Raises Its Head, there is the Spring Festival and the Flower Festival.
This period is also interspersed with various temple fairs. In short, after the Spring Festival, the next three months are filled with lively festivals.
In the imperial palace, Emperor Yuanhe had already begun holding court on the seventh day of the new year. However, despite holding court, the palace festivals still had to be held as usual.
However, all this excitement had nothing to do with Prince Gong's Mansion.
That day, Su Wanyan was sitting in the flower hall of the main courtyard reading a book.
This book is about various festivals in the Great Jin Dynasty, such as the Dragon Head Raising Festival, Flower Festival, and Spring Festival, as mentioned above.
It also records the corresponding folk customs and dietary habits.
Su Wanyan turned to this book because there were just too many palace banquets.
Since Prince Gong's Mansion started to gain some influence, the palace has been sending invitations to palace banquets to the mansion every few days. Considering that Yu Nanqing will need to meet people after his leg recovers, she wanted to select some more important palace banquets for him to consider in the future.
So that he won't be at a loss when he's all alone in the future.
There's no need to attend those other trivial banquets.
However, a recent major royal banquet caught her attention: the Spring Hunt.
The spring hunt was usually held after the beginning of spring, calculated according to the vernal equinox of that year. Sometimes it was in early March, sometimes in mid-March, and sometimes at the end of March. The specific date was determined by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in the palace, and then decided by Emperor Yuanhe.
Spring hunts typically last seven days.
During the spring hunt, powerful and influential families in the capital would participate, and officials of the third rank or above in the court could bring their wives and children to the banquet.
Since there are currently no adult princes in the palace, in order to create a lively atmosphere, Emperor Yuanhe would specifically designate which young masters and noblemen from which families could participate in the spring hunt.
"Spring hunt," Su Wanyan murmured involuntarily.
The book described the Spring Hunt as lasting seven days, and Su Wanyan felt that even if she refused, Emperor Yuanhe would do everything he could to get Yu Nanqing to participate.
Where is the royal hunting ground?
Su Wanyan thought for a moment and called out, "Qiuye, go ask Master Wang if he has any maps or topographical maps of the royal hunting grounds. Bring them over so I can take a look."
Akiha Fukure: "Yes."
"Su Wanyan! Su Wanyan!" Just as Qiu Ye reached the door, she bumped into Tanaka pushing Yu Nanqing in.
Before you see him, you hear his voice.
Yu Nanqing's expression was filled with excitement: "Su Wanyan!"
Qiu Ye was startled, quickly lowered her eyes, curtsied, hurriedly avoided the situation, and retreated.
Su Wanyan looked up and saw that Yu Nanqing's face was full of joy. She chuckled and asked, "What's wrong? Did something good happen?"
Starting in February, Su Wanyan increased the amount of training for Yu Nanqing. Originally, it was half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon, but now it is one and a half hours in the morning and one and a half hours in the afternoon.
Su Wanyan didn't plan to increase the time any further. Three hours of practice a day was enough; any more would be physical training, not rehabilitation training.
Just now, Yu Nanqing went to the training room to train.
Yu Nanqing excitedly gestured to Tanaka, who quickly pushed Yu Nanqing in front of Su Wanyan. As if afraid Su Wanyan would miss out, he instructed, "Su Wanyan! Look at me! Look at me!"
Yu Nanqing suddenly put his feet on the ground, supported himself on the armrests of the wheelchair, and slowly, little by little, stood up in front of Su Wanyan!
"Su Wanyan! Look! Look!" Yu Nanqing's legs were slightly bent, not yet fully supporting his weight. His eyes were red as he looked at Su Wanyan, and his voice was trembling.
I was excited, so excited that words couldn't describe it.
He stretched out his hand to Su Wanyan: "I can stand up! Su Wanyan! I can stand up!"
Su Wanyan stared in disbelief. She had thought that Yu Nanqing would stand up sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
But then she realized that Yu Nanqing was so diligent, practically living in the training room every day. Everything he did was the result of his hard work, and he deserved it all.
Seeing him reach out his hand to her, Su Wanyan quickly stood up from the daybed and caught his outstretched hand: "Congratulations!"
