Chapter 2002: Riding a Big Horse and Wearing a Red Flower
The next day.
When Tang Bao appeared in front of everyone in the Su family in new clothes, Princess Linghua immediately screamed.
"Aunt, when did you make these new clothes? They're so beautiful!"
Princess Linghua surrounded Tang Bao, her eyes full of amazement.
Tang Bao was wearing a small red jacket with peony flowers embroidered in gold thread, and a long skirt with flowers that did not fall to the ground. When she walked, her skirt fluttered in the wind, just like a hundred flowers in bloom, and she was extremely graceful.
Such a gorgeous dress makes her look both cute and noble.
The next sentence, Princess Linghua sighed again: "Even the bride's wedding dress can't be more dazzling than this, right?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Wedding dress?
Tang Bao's face turned dark.
She looked down at her dress.
It seems... indeed... a little...
Tang Bao couldn't help but think of Xuanyuan Jin's expression when he insisted that she wear this dress...
Then I thought, as my brother is the new top scholar today, he must be wearing red clothes and red flowers.
So, it matches my clothes...
Tangbao's little face turned red again.
Everyone in the Su family looked at Tang Bao, then thought about what Xuanyuan Jin was wearing today, and their expressions were a little strange.
The two of them dressed like this standing together looked like a bride and groom.
Xia Siya glanced at Princess Linghua and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. If you say anything else, my aunt won't wear it. It would be a pity to waste this dress."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the peony flowers embroidered on his clothes.
She continued, "This doesn't look like it was embroidered by the embroiderers in our embroidery workshop, nor does it look like Sister Fuya's technique. Could it be..."
Xia Siya looked at Tang Bao and smiled as if she had guessed something.
Such exquisite embroidery was neither done by the embroiderers of Fude Embroidery Workshop nor by Tang Bao herself, so it must have come from the palace.
Since it came from the palace, if it was awarded by the Empress Dowager, the Empress and others, my aunt would definitely not hide it from them. They would probably have known about it a long time ago.
Unless... it was given privately by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When Tang Bao saw Xia Siya's playful look, she couldn't help feeling shy, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Then, she held her cheeks with both hands, raised her chin, and said deliberately: "Am I not beautiful?"
Princess Huaning burst out laughing.
"My sister-in-law is naturally beautiful! The clothes are just a foil!"
She was a princess from the palace, so she could naturally tell that the dress came from the palace.
Especially the mark on the cuff, which can be seen at a glance as being recorded in the palace.
After Princess Huaning finished speaking, she couldn't help but reached out and pinched Tang Bao's little face.
It's rare for my sister-in-law to be so arrogant, it really makes people want to cherish her to the core.
Prince brother is so lucky!
Upon hearing this, the other sisters-in-law of the Su family showered Tang Bao with praise as if it were free.
Anyway, in their hearts, their sister-in-law was the best person in the world.
Fortunately, Tangbao has become immune to praise since childhood.
I feel a little embarrassed, but I can bear it.
Old Mrs. Su and several of her daughters-in-law did not go to the street to watch the fun, but they knew that Tang Bao must go.
So, a big flower basket was prepared for Tangbao long ago.
In the big flower basket, all kinds of flowers are extremely beautiful and covered with dew.
Princess Linghua looked at the large basket of flowers and said in surprise, "Are they going to use a basket of flowers to knock His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unconscious?"
After saying that, he giggled to himself.
She continued, "Your Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not dare to hide from the flowers thrown by your aunt. Today, he will definitely be buried by this basket of flowers."
Mrs. Su said, "Da Pan and Er Pan often say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a peerless martial artist. So I thought, even though today is the parade for the top scholar, it's inevitable that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be hit by flowers and jewelry by the girls..."
When Mrs. Su said this, she couldn't help laughing.
Then, she continued, "But I was thinking, with His Royal Highness's skills, not even a leaf would be able to touch the edge of His Royal Highness's clothes, let alone flowers and jewelry. This would make the parade seem too dull and lacking in joy. So, I prepared more and asked my aunt to smash it herself."
Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely accept everything that his sister-in-law gives him.
The sisters-in-law of the Su family also laughed, and they all meant the same thing.
On such a festive day, the people of the capital should once again see how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values his sister-in-law.
For the sake of his sister-in-law, he would never let a single leaf touch him, even if he had to walk through a field of flowers.
Xia Siya smiled and said, "Mother and the aunts are really thoughtful."
Princess Linghua also laughed and said, "Now those young ladies in the capital must have wasted all their time and effort preparing so many flowers and jewelry."
After saying that, he winked at Tang Bao mischievously, and then directed two maids to lift the big flower basket with a shoulder pole.
Then he said, "Let's go and see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is buried with flowers."
"Exactly, let's go..."
Princess Linghua also followed while speaking and smiling.
Xia Siya and Princess Linghua must go to watch the fun.
The two of them each brought their son, led a group of maids and old women, and carried a large flower basket. They accompanied Tang Bao straight to Wufulou.
The shopkeeper of Wufulou naturally recognized Tang Bao, and with a flattering face, he welcomed Tang Bao and others into the private room that Xuanyuan Jin had booked in advance, and then personally led the waiters to serve tea, cakes and other items.
Soon, the streets were crowded with people.
All the people from the capital's government offices were mobilized again to maintain order.
Xia Siya and Princess Linghua each held their son and stood by the window looking down.
"Here it comes..."
Princess Linghua held her son in one hand and shook his little hand with the other, waving it towards the distance.
Xia Siya also grabbed her son's little hand and pointed with a smile at Xuanyuan Jin riding on Honghong's back in the distance.
"Daqing, look! That's the number one scholar!"
Daqing is the nickname of Xia Siya's son.
The nicknames of the Su family's children still continue the Su family's naming style.
Simple and down-to-earth.
In the future, we can just line them up in a row, which will be very convenient.
After hearing what his mother said, Daqing stared into the distance with his eyes wide open, and said in a baby voice, "Ride a big horse... wear a red flower..."
This is what his father taught him.
When Erqing, who was held by Princess Linghua, heard this, he also stammered, "Top Scholar... ride, ride a big horse..."
Princess Linghua laughed heartily.
"That's right! Daqing and Erqing will also ride big horses, wear red flowers, and become the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future!"
After saying that, she told the maid to bring the big flower basket to the window and make room for Tang Bao.
"Little aunt, get ready quickly, it will be your turn soon." Princess Linghua looked at Tang Bao and said jokingly with a mischievous smile, "Come and see for yourself, those girls outside are almost crying."
Xia Siya looked at the scene in the distance and couldn't help laughing. She almost couldn't hold Daqing in her arms.
I saw young girls and wives on both sides of the road waving the flowers or jewelry in their hands desperately, trying to throw them at Xuanyuan Jin when he rode by.
However, something strange happened.
No matter how many flowers and jewelry there are, none of them can touch Xuanyuan Jin's sleeves.
Even if you throw out a gold ingot, it will seem to become light and fall to the ground halfway.
Some of the flower jewellery even seemed to change its course automatically, hitting the role model and the third place winner behind them.
So, the little girls saw that the things they threw did not fall on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they sighed and cried.
However, the next moment, when he saw the role model and the third place winner being hit by the jewelry, covering their heads, grimacing in pain, with a look of despair on their faces, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
