Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 316 Imperial Concubine Seal
Tong Xiaowu knelt down to receive the order, and all the maids and women around her congratulated her. At this moment, Tong Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, Xuanyuan Yuchen was not a prince, and she could just be a shopkeeper. She didn't expect to come to the capital for a trip, but she didn't go back. He suddenly became a prince, but she became a woman who was not worthy of him.

Finally, now she was as level as his shoulders.

"Congratulations, concubine, congratulations, concubine..." Nanny Zhang wiped away her tears, and gave the reward silver to the father-in-law in the palace who came to read the imperial decree as a token of gratitude. .

Qingxiu and Xiaohe smiled happily. They have been with Tong Xiaowu for a long time, and they also know their master more or less. Don't look at her seeking the position of the princess. In fact, the most important thing in her heart is not the title. But King Xuan.

"Miss?" Xuanyuan Yuchen stepped forward, reached out to take the imperial decree in her hand, opened it and looked at it, not only the emperor's jade seal, but also the empress's seal of the empress.

Tong Xiaowu turned around and looked at him.

"The evening ceremony is scheduled for half a month, you're going to get busy!"

"Isn't that right? Didn't the imperial decree say it? If the prince and concubine are to hold their wedding again, then our palace will be busy?" Nanny Zhang at the side realized it and turned to look at Xiuqing and Xiaohe.

"Hurry up, by the way, the old slave has to go to the palace. Since the emperor and the queen have set a date, it is not necessary to adopt and ask the name, but what is the content of the question? Let's prepare for the six rites, and the last three rites That's the most troublesome thing, the old slave will enter the palace now."

"Mother Zhang, don't worry..."

The man in the palace, who had received a reward, opened his mouth and took out two red postcards from his sleeves and handed them over.

"The emperor has asked the little one to bring it here. This is the Qin Tianjian. This is the auspicious content of King Xuan's marriage. It is the date and time of marriage calculated based on the birth dates of King Xuan and Princess Xuan. They are all here!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, thank you so much, I don't need to make a trip for this old slave!" Nanny Zhang happily reached out to take it, thank you very much.

Tong Xiaowu looked at Xuanyuan Yuchen, and asked in a low voice, "Haven't we all been married before? Why do we need to hold a wedding? This is very troublesome, right?"

"We used to be poor, and the wedding was almost as good as it was. This time, the emperor himself made the decree, and it will also go along with the royal family's request to hold it again, so that everyone in the world will know that the concubine of my Prince Xuan is Tong Xiaowu."

"But it's very urgent in half a month. I'm afraid my parents won't be able to make it?" Tong Xiaowu thought of her relatives in her hometown.

"It's too late, I've already asked Lu Xing to go back to pick her up, don't worry!" Xuanyuan Yuchen reached out to stroke her hair.

The following days have been busy. The affairs of the office have been handed over to An Luo and Fu Jialan, but Hunli, Buzhou and Qinzhou schools are all busy.

Fortunately, the school has people sent by the emperor and the queen mother to help, as long as the money needed by each county is calculated and the funds are allocated.

Others, sir, just leave the recruitment of students to the local officials. When the time comes, the officials will report the list, and then we can allocate funds based on the list, and use it for the husband's monthly calendar and student tuition.

Of course, Tong Xiaowu also heard from the accountant sent by the emperor, and set up inspection teams in the local area to prevent them from cheating.

Sure enough, with the help of the government, things went much smoother.

As for dresses and the like, the Clothing Bureau in the palace takes care of all of them, and the palace is mainly responsible for checking the guest list, issuing invitations, banquets, and evening rituals.

Three days before the evening ceremony, the Shangyi Bureau finally made the clothes, and after being inspected by the Empress Dowager, they were sent to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Nanny Zhang worked carefully. After having people check all the thread embroidery, she washed it several times, ironed it and locked it neatly.

Seeing her delicate appearance, Tong Xiaowu couldn't help laughing and said, "Mammy is too careful, isn't she?"

Nanny Zhang looked around and saw no outsiders before she said, "You must be careful, especially things that come out of the palace..."

Tong Xiaowu raised her eyebrows, disapproving.

Zhang Nanny opened her mouth to remind: "During this time, the number of times the princess has gone to the palace has increased. Hearing what Mammy said, you must be more careful, you know?"

Seeing Tong Xiaowu disapproving, she lowered her voice and said:
"The princess doesn't know. Eight years ago, the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Xian, was poisoned because of the clothes. She couldn't be saved. Everyone in the fashion clothing bureau lost their lives, but so what? Concubine Xian is still dead. .”

Tong Xiaowu was shocked when she heard this, and asked strangely: "Can clothes kill people?"

"Of course I can, that dress was repaired by Concubine Xian after she had someone wash it, Concubine Xian is virtuous and doesn't like extravagance, she was very popular with the Emperor in the palace at that time.

Moreover, the previous dynasty also had a high evaluation of Concubine Xian, and some people proposed to make Concubine Xian a noble concubine, but on the third day after the proposal was made, Concubine Xian took back an old dress from the Shangyi Bureau after it could not be repaired. After eating it, he was poisoned. After investigation, it turned out that the clothes were soaked in poison...

Concubine, it's not that the old slave is careful, but fortunately we don't live in the palace, otherwise, the methods used by the concubine may not be effective.

Who told you to come out and meet people?Who put you in business?Who asked you to hold a charity sale?That's impossible!The queen's inner courtyard is full of women, and the people's hearts are really hard to guard against. "

Tong Xiaowu took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I will be careful next time I enter the palace."

"Princess, there is one more thing. I have to remind you that if you have a choice, try not to go to the East Palace. If the Crown Princess chooses to summon you, you cannot avoid it. Remember, no matter what happens, you will act as if you didn't see it. ?"

Tong Xiaowu was slightly stunned, "Mother Zhang, what do you say?"

"Anyway, just remember it. You will go to another courtyard tomorrow. You will not be able to meet King Xuan again until you get married. Moreover, all the royal family members will be in place for the banquet in the palace tomorrow. The palace will invite you over to talk, maybe they will give you a gift, so you just keep it, and the Crown Princess will definitely invite you over, so you must be careful."

"Okay!" This marriage is really troublesome, a hundred times more troublesome than in the countryside.

That night, several villagers from Shanshui Village were taken to Prince Xuan's Mansion, preparing to attend the Prince Xuan's evening ceremony the day after tomorrow.

Tong Xiaowu's parents, two sisters and her husband, Brother Fulin, Sister-in-law Fulin, Li Dali, Er Li Xiaomei, and Zhao Hongzhu, together with their younger sister Zhao Wenjing, heard that Li Zhang Zhao was busy, so they asked people to bring some of them from their hometown. The dried mushrooms came over, not in person.

Xuanyuan Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu didn't know how happy they were to see them, but they were very restrained when they saw them. In their hearts, their identities were different after all.
