At dawn, Tian Xinghua was wearing a bright red first-rank imperial robe and gold and jade ornaments that suited her status. He and his little girl Song Jinfang went out of the gate in a carriage.
Song Qiu respectfully saw his mother and second sister off to the gate, and watched the carriage go away before he excitedly "howled" and ran back to his yard.
놛 recently got a pair of puppies. The puppies are so smart. They can pick up balls and bow. 놛 likes them so much that they want to eat and sleep with them.
Originally, she could have entered the palace today, but in order to develop a relationship with the puppy, she chose to stay and look after the house.
Along the way, red lanterns were hung high, colorful flags fluttered, and the air was filled with solemnity and joy.
Entering the palace for the first time, Tian Xinghua was a little nervous. Nanny Lin said, "Don't be nervous, you have learned etiquette very well, your behavior is measured and dignified, just like a lady from a noble family."
Tian Xinghua smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just afraid that once I enter the palace, people will talk about my remarriage, which will embarrass Jinxiu and the children."
Nanny Lin looked at her and said, "My lady, you will have to face this matter in person sooner or later. If someone brings this up, just fight back. The Cangwu law does not forbid women from remarrying."
Song Jinfang also said: "My sister said that the best way to deal with rumors is to ignore them. The more we care about them, the more proud the spreaders will be. If you are really annoyed, just fight back.
Besides, I am a first-rank imperial concubine, and there are not many people whose status is higher than yours. If you talk nonsense, it would be a violation of your authority, so don't be afraid. ”
Tian Xinghua clenched her fists and said, "Okay, I'm not afraid."
The children are not afraid of her, whether she sticks her head out or hides it. As a mother, she can't always be protected at home by the children, right?
In front of the palace gate, ladies of honor gathered from all directions and gathered at the palace gate waiting to be summoned.
The carriage from General Dingguo's mansion also arrived. As soon as the old lady of General Dingguo's mansion got off the carriage, a group of ladies gathered around her and greeted her enthusiastically.
The area around Tian Xinghua suddenly became empty.
"Hey, there are many more ladies coming to pay tribute this year. Who is that lady?"
"I don't know her, but judging from her imperial attire, she must be of high rank. Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense, or you might offend her."
"I know the girl next to her. She is the younger sister of Duke Kangle, and she met the owner of Fenfang."
"Ah? So that person is the woman that Duke Kangle remarried?"
"You stupid girl, I asked you to keep your voice down, are you planning to kill our family?"
Hearing these discussions, Tian Xinghua felt sweaty inside, but she kept smiling. She was not afraid. As long as they were not mentioned in front of her, she would just pretend not to hear them.
The old man in General Dingguo's mansion looked at Tian Xinghua standing alone and winked at his daughter-in-law.
Not to mention that their husbands have taken a liking to the other person's daughter, just because Duke Kangle is the eldest son's lifesaver, they should go and say hello first.
General Dingguo understood what he meant and hurried over to greet Tian Xinghua with a smile, "Master, you are here early? Normally, I should have visited you earlier, but you have a small child and I was afraid that it would cause trouble to you."
When everyone heard this, they wondered what this meant.
General Dingguo and his men are so polite to this person. Is there something they don't know?
The faces of the few people who had just gossiped about Tian Xinghua turned noticeably pale. When Tian Xinghua got married again, the little girl's arm was twisted twice by her own mother. She cried in pain but dared not make a sound.
At noon, the morning sun shone brightly on the earth. As the eunuch loudly called out, Tian Xinghua followed the ladies of state and entered the tall and majestic vermilion gate in order. Under your feet are bluestone slabs that have been polished by time, as if every step is full of dignity and solemnity.
Tian Xinghua followed the old man from General Dingguo's mansion and others as the first group of people to meet the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager then sat on a phoenix chair, wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. She was graceful and majestic, like a god.
On both sides of the Empress Dowager sat the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Grand Duke, etc.
Tian Xinghua suppressed her nervousness and took a glance at her eldest daughter, who was standing next to the empress dowager, bending over and talking to her.
This child is not nervous at all when talking to the Queen Mother. Look, the Queen Mother is even smiling and nodding at her.
Tian Xinghua seemed to be dreaming. She really couldn't understand why such a bold girl came to her.
It must be that he had accumulated great merit in his previous life.
Tian Xinghua only took a furtive glance when she entered the door, and then followed behind General Dingguo step by step, with her eyes on the nose and her nose on the heart, and lowered her eyebrows and eyes.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand.
When Song Jinxiu saw her mother and sister, she stood up and greeted the Queen Mother.
Her mother knelt and kowtowed when she met the Queen Mother. How could she stand?
So she came down and followed her mother, accompanying her in the ceremony of bowing.
As soon as she shook her hand, the mother trembled and her palms were sweaty.
She sighed, pulled her mother to a corner, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, mother, let them kowtow first, I will talk to you, and I will accompany you later."
"Is this okay?" Tian Xinghua asked nervously?
Didn't they say that they should come forward and salute in order of rank?
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not that strict. Just think of this as the birthday celebration of the old patriarch of our Songjia Village. If you are still nervous at that time, I will say the blessing on your behalf."
Tian Xinghua shook her head, "No, I will personally say the blessing to show respect to the Queen Mother."
The mother and daughter were whispering here, while the other ladies of state had already begun their congratulations.
They entered the hall in order of rank, some holding tributes, some kneeling and praying, muttering something to express their respect and blessings to the Empress Dowager. "Your humble servant, so-and-so, respectfully wishes the Empress Dowager a happy birthday. May the Empress Dowager be in good health and may she bring blessings to future generations."
A lady of noble birth came forward slowly, holding a brocade box high above her head. The box contained carefully selected jewels. The eunuch took the tribute and handed it to the Queen Mother, who smiled and nodded to show her approval.
Then, another lady held up the jade Guanyin and whispered, "Your humble servant, so-and-so, respectfully presents the statue of Guanyin to the Empress Dowager, wishing her a long life and peace for the country and the people."
Song Jinxiu helped her mother calm down her nervousness, then looked at her sister. The little girl lowered her head slightly, with curiosity in her eyes, but not the slightest bit of nervousness.
Song Jinxiu smiled and patted her head.
"snort!"
At this moment, the eldest prince snorted coldly, "Kangle, do you have any problem with your mother? Why do you hold your mother back from seeing her? Do you also think that your mother shouldn't be here as she is remarried?"
Oh my god, is this eldest prince sick? Don't you consider the occasion when looking for something to do?
Today is the Queen Mother Xiaoqiu's birthday. How dare she cause trouble in front of the Queen Mother?
Sure enough, the Queen Mother gave the Grand Duke a dissatisfied look.
The eldest prince knew that he had spoken out of turn and quickly shut up.
She still had something to ask the Queen Mother. She usually did not show her emotions, so why did she get so angry when she saw that girl Kangle?
