Grandma and Master Song didn’t sleep much all night and were up at dawn making breakfast.
Tomorrow the Song family will be going back and Song Lin and Xu stayed over. When they heard a movement in the kitchen, they dressed and got up and came to the kitchen.
When they heard a commotion in the kitchen, they got up and went to the kitchen. They saw that Grandma Song was busy making breakfast and went up to help.
“Mother, why are you up so early today?”
Song Lin asked as he added firewood to the stove.
Grandma Song looked as usual, “I heard from Yue’er that the Qianshan Temple outside the city is very famous, so your father and I want Yue’er to take us there.”
“We have nothing to do today either, so let’s go with Father and Mother.”
“No, it’s fine for your father and I to go, you guys stay home and sort out the things you want to take back.”
After breakfast, Hu Yong also arrived.
Grandma Song, Master Song and Song Wangyue got into the carriage and followed Hu Yong out of the city.
After walking for two hours, they arrived at a farmhouse.
The man who was guarding it was an old man in his fifties, with white hair and a slightly stooped back, but the moment he saw Hu Yong, a bright light appeared in his eyes.
“Uncle Liu.”
Hu Yong introduced, “This is Miss Song, our future royal concubine, I brought them to the manor to have a look.”
“Old slave, I’d like to meet Miss Song.”
Uncle Liu hurriedly saluted, Song Wangyue held him up, “Uncle Liu doesn’t need to be polite, we are just taking a casual look.”
Uncle Liu understood, “Please follow me, everyone.”
Several people followed him into the manor and walked out of the courtyard from the other side, and then saw a separate house.
The house was very new, probably newly built, with three main rooms and a hedge wall, so that from a distance they could see the courtyard at a glance.
At the moment, a woman was sitting on a chair in the courtyard, her stomach high.
Outside the courtyard wall, a man is carrying water to water the vegetables, looking at the woman from time to time.
Grandma Song covers her mouth and Master Song’s eyes are red.
It was good to be alive, it was good that they were alive.
“Song San Xiao ……”
Qi’s tone was not very good, “I’m thirsty, go and get me a glass of water.”
“Coming right up!”
Song San Xiao Gao responded, throwing the ladle into the bucket and quickly went inside, quickly bringing out a glass of water.
Qi Ying took it, took a sip, and his brow furrowed, “It’s too hot.”
“I’ll go and add some cool water.”
Once again, Song San Xiao quickly entered the house and quickly came out again with water.
Qi Ying still took a sip and frowned again, “It’s cold.”
“I’ll go and heat the water again.”
Qi Ying said disgustedly, “Stupid, you don’t know how to get the kettle out, you have to make a trip.”
Song Sanxiao slapped his head and laughed, “My daughter-in-law is still smart, why didn’t I think of that.”
After saying that, he turned around and quickly went into the house, brought out a kettle in each hand, squatted in front of Qi Ying and added some hot water to her.
“Don’t get so close to me.”
“Good.”
Song San Xiao obediently took a step back.
“How are you going to refill my water when you’re so far away?”
“I was wrong.”
Song San Xiao moved forward a tiny bit in acknowledgement of his mistake, without any impatience on his face.
Grandma Song and Elder Song watched from afar.
Looking at the heartfelt smile on their son’s face.
After a long time, the two withdrew their gaze.
“Let’s go.”
Their son was fine and having a good time, and they were relieved.
“It looks like Third Aunt is going to have a baby soon, and I’ll have someone tell you if you’re having a boy or a girl then.”
“No need, as long as we know they are still alive and living well, we will be relieved. As for the others …… since he chose to cut ties with the family in the first place, we don’t have this son anymore.”
……
The flowers blossom and the blossoms die, spring goes and autumn comes.
In the next year, Song Wangyue’s maturity was reached.
All kinds of carriages were parked in front of the Song family’s gate.
The wives of the six ministries, the Shuntian governor’s wife, the wives of the cabinet ministers, and the wives of Song Si’s colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.
Those who were involved came, and those who were not involved came with the idea of being involved.
The Song family could not sit in the house, so some of the lower-ranking ladies were seated in the courtyard.
Even so, no one complained.
Song Wangyue was a proper regent consort, and they had long wanted to be in the same boat.
Inside the house.
Lin Shuang, whose belly was slightly protruding, told Song Wangyue about the situation outside, “So many people have come before the hour, in another hour, I’m afraid the carriages will block the road in front of the gate.”
The family had expected many people to come today, but they did not expect so many.
It was lucky that they had come early, otherwise the carriages would not have been able to pass.
Song Wangyue also did not expect so many people to come.
It was only a maturity ceremony.
According to her intention, she could just get a hairpin and have her mother pin it on.
The family disagreed, and they all came to the capital early.
Meng Jiao smiled and joked, “No way, our regent brother-in-law hasn’t come yet, who dares to block the road?”
Lin Shuang also laughed.
“What are you talking about, so happy?”
Xiao Yao came in carrying a few plates of pastries. On an occasion like today, she should have been outside to greet the guests, but she had just had her happy pulse taken the day before, and her family was afraid she would be tired, so they had specially instructed her to come inside to keep Yue’er company.
Meng Jiao smiled and answered, “What about our Regent’s brother-in-law, I wonder what gifts he will give to my little sister today?”
They could all see how much the Prince Regent cared for his little sister, and the gift he would give her on this special day would be no ordinary gift.
“We’ll find out later, won’t we? Eat your snack first, this is something my little sister has just thought up.”
He said, placing the pastry on the table.
The two of them didn’t feel polite, each picking up a small piece and eating it.
“The Regent has arrived!”
A loud shout rang out.
A host of ladies, whether seated in the courtyard or in the house, rose in unison and came outside to greet them.
Chu Yunxiao slowly stepped into the courtyard.
He was dressed in a brocade robe and a jade belt, and his eyebrows were clear.
Not to mention the ladies, even Song Lin, the old man, had to admit that Chu Yunxiao’s looks were excellent and matched his daughter …… very, very well.
The only thing is, when he thought of the purpose of his visit today, Song Lin’s heart suddenly became uncomfortable.
“Your Majesty, this way please.”
Song Si stepped forward.
Without glancing at him, Chu Yunxiao followed him to the flower hall.
When he disappeared, the ladies exhaled quietly. The Regent was handsome, but his aura could not be ignored.
The time had come for the ceremony to begin.
Song Wan Yue, dressed in a short coat, knelt facing the incense burner, and Xu was about to go up and comb her hair ……
“Mother-in-law, I’ll do it.”
Accompanied by the words, Chu Yunxiao walked over and picked up the comb.
The courtyard was full of silence.
Xu also froze for a moment, opening her mouth to say that it was inappropriate.
Chu Yunxiao had already started to comb her hair, one by one, with gentle movements, as if she was treating some rare treasure.
The words Xu wanted to say were left in her throat.
