Chapter 273: Get up early and serve tea! Go to the palace to express gratitude!
Qin Qingyuan knew what they were surprised about and asked with a smile, "Madam, take a look at my cooking skills."
Everyone looked at Gu Yunfei's hairstyle today. It was simple and generous, making the princess look cute and lovely.
"Master Junma, what is this?" the nanny asked uncertainly.
"I combed the princess's hair myself. It looks good, doesn't it?" Qin Qingyuan smiled happily, and the nanny felt it was a bit magical.
Gu Yunfei looked at the expressions of the nanny and the servants and felt so ashamed that she didn't pay attention to the steps under her feet and stumbled and almost fell.
"Princess, be careful!" Qin Qingyuan supported his wife's arm in time.
"Thank you, husband!" With a blushing face, she thanked him and the two continued to walk towards the front yard. Qin Qingyuan's mouth corners raised. His wife was so cute.
The nanny followed behind with her maid, and felt that the prince had been doting on the princess since they got married yesterday.
She thought about how she had gone to the old lady and the princess's mother-in-law to report in the morning. Not only did they not blame her, they also smiled and told her not to disturb the princess's rest, and to come back after she woke up, as they were not in a hurry.
Before getting married, she had secretly worried about the princess, wondering if there would be conflicts living with so many people from her husband's family. Now it seems she was overthinking it.
Walking along the corridor towards the main courtyard, the newlyweds were in love.
Gu Yunfei could hear the sound of talking and laughing from inside from a distance, and her pace unconsciously slowed down.
Judging from the sounds, it was obvious that all the elders were there waiting for her and Qin Qingyuan. Gu Yunfei felt very embarrassed for getting up late on the first day of her wedding.
Qin Qingyuan saw her somewhat annoyed expression and whispered, "Don't worry, your husband is here."
Gu Yunfei took a deep breath, and Qin Qingyuan took her hand and walked in. At this moment, she was the new bride of the Qin family.
"The princess is here!" Xiao Si at the door announced loudly.
The originally bustling inner hall suddenly became quiet, and the Qin family looked towards the door expectantly.
Qin Qingyuan pulled Gu Yunfei over the threshold. All the elders of the Qin family were there, and they looked at the two with joy and love on their faces.
Several female relatives from the eldest and second uncle's families looked at Gu Yunfei curiously. This was the new bride of their Qin family.
Qin Qingyuan pulled Gu Yunfei and they knelt together on the cotton pad that had been prepared long ago.
"Qingyuan and his new bride pay their respects to Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, First Uncle, Second Uncle..."
"The daughter-in-law pays homage to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, wishing them good health and a long life."
.......
Gu Yunfei and Qin Qingyuan bowed to the elders present.
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Princess, please get up quickly."
Qin Qingyuan personally helped his wife up. Zhang and Qin He smiled happily seeing how much their son loved his wife.
The maid had already prepared the tea tray. Gu Yunfei held up the teacup with both hands and respectfully offered tea to the elders of the Qin family.
For every person toasted, a big red envelope was placed on the tray.
The happiest person was Zhang, who smiled so much that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes smoothed out.
"Qingyuan is so lucky to have married a daughter-in-law as knowledgeable and well-mannered as the princess."
The others all smiled and praised.
After the tea ceremony, Qin Qingyuan took her to meet the other members of the Qin family, and Gu Yunfei distributed the gifts she had prepared to everyone.
Seeing that she was so polite and had no airs of a princess at all, everyone in the Qin family smiled with satisfaction.
Qin Zhizhi and Gu Jinghuai also came today. As the bride's family, they were not allowed to show up, but they were also considered the bride's family.
Qin Zhizhi is the most favored aunt in the Qin family. No matter what her status is in the Gu family, now that she appears here today, she is a member of the Qin family.
Gu Yunfei naturally prepared a gift for Qin Zhizhi early on. When she gave the gift to Qin Zhizhi, Qin Zhizhi said playfully, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Gu Yunfei's face suddenly turned red. In the past, Qin Zhizhi was her sister-in-law, but now, she has become her sister-in-law's sister-in-law.
When the others heard Qin Zhizhi calling the princess "sister-in-law", they obviously thought of this and started laughing.
"Sister, just call your sister-in-law Princess from now on, otherwise she will feel awkward."
Qin Qingyuan was afraid that his wife would feel awkward, so he whispered some advice to his sister.
Qin Zhizhi thought about it and thought this was a good idea, so she nodded with a smile.
After offering tea, the family had breakfast together, and then Gu Yunfei and Qin Qingyuan entered the palace together.
The emperor has granted the marriage, and the princess is getting married. According to etiquette, she must go to the palace today to express her gratitude.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs and headed towards the imperial city.
The carriage passed through the Suzaku Gate and stopped at the Inner Palace Gate.
The Queen had already arranged for someone to wait here. When they saw the two people get off the car, they hurried forward to greet them: "The Princess is well, and the Prince is well. The Queen has specially ordered this servant to come and pick up the Princess and the Prince."
Gu Yunfei nodded and went to visit her uncle and aunt with Qin Qingyuan.
"Yunfei and her husband thanked her uncle and aunt."
Gu Yunfei bowed gracefully, and Qin Qingyuan quickly followed suit. He was a little nervous at the moment.
"You little girl, why don't you help your husband up quickly." The emperor's voice came from above, very gentle, completely different from when he was in court.
"Fei'er, come to your aunt!" The queen waved her hand lovingly, asking Gu Yunfei to come to her side.
The nanny brought over an embroidered cushion, and the two of them thanked her and sat down.
The emperor looked at his niece, then at Qin Qingyuan, and nodded with satisfaction. He personally arranged the marriage, so it must be a good match.
The Queen asked with concern, "Was the phoenix crown too heavy yesterday? Did it weigh down your head?"
"Thank you for your concern, auntie. I've never met you before!" Her aunt and uncle treated her like their own daughter. Gu Yunfei knew that her aunt was worried about her.
The emperor saw this and beckoned to Qin Qingyuan: "Let them talk for a while, you accompany me to the side hall."
"Your Majesty, today is a family dinner. Please don't drag Qingyuan into discussing official business." The Queen's eyes were full of love.
"I understand. I will take Qingyuan for a walk!" said the emperor with some guilt.
Qin Qingyuan responded respectfully and followed the emperor into the side hall. He had heard that the emperor and the empress had a deep relationship, but he didn't expect that the emperor was like this in private.
After entering the inner hall, the emperor motioned Qin Qingyuan to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Don't be afraid. Today, there's no emperor or minister. It's just an uncle and his nephew having a heart-to-heart talk. You don't have to be afraid of me. Relax. Otherwise, Yunfei will complain to the queen, and I'll be scolded by her again."
Qin Qingyuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. You really don't treat me as an outsider. Is this what he can hear?
Where is your momentum when you go to court every day? Why do you become so timid when it comes to the Queen?
"Yunfei grew up under my watch. She's like my own daughter. If she chooses you, she must be sincere. Don't let her down."
In the emperor's mind, no one can bully his niece, not even himself.
Qin Qingyuan clasped his hands together and said, "I will live up to the princess's deep affection and the emperor's high hopes. I only have the princess in my life. If I break my oath, I will leave it to the emperor to deal with."
"Really?" the emperor asked in surprise.
"Men in the Qin family only marry wives and don't take concubines!" Qin Qingyuan decided to change the family rules when he returned.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile, "The Qin family has a clear and bright family tradition and is a model of an aristocratic family."
Qin Qingyuan felt that if the aristocratic families heard this, they would probably be heartbroken.
