The grass in the factory should be plucked

Xie Chang'an also wore auspicious clothes, including a Liang crown, a red silk robe, a leather belt, a sash, white socks and black shoes.

The difference is that Jiang Li is wearing a seven-beam crown, a jade belt and jade pendant, and a cloud and phoenix four-color flower brocade ribbon.

He wore a five-beam crown, a gold belt and jade pendants, and a brocade ribbon with clouds and cranes and four-color flowers.

Aunt Lian looked at her son-in-law, who was wearing auspicious clothes and looked more and more handsome and dignified. Then she looked at her own daughter, who looked like a little girl who had secretly worn adult clothes. She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.

Of course, in Xie Changan's eyes with his own filter, his wife looks really cute when she is dressed like this.

He wrapped her in a thick cloak and they went out hand in hand.

After getting on the carriage, Xie Changan couldn't help but hold his wife's rosy face and kissed her several times.

"Don't tilt my hat!" Jiang Li said angrily.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Xie Changan helped Jiang Li down from the carriage and happened to meet Shen Muchun and Mo Qilang.

They were both wearing the auspicious clothes of a fifth-rank official, with a three-beam crown, a silver belt, jade pendants, and a brocade ribbon carved with four-color flowers.

Seeing Jiang Li's expression, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

Mo Qilang chuckled and said, "Sixteenth sister, when you dress up like this, you look just like a clay doll sold at a lantern festival."

Jiang Li glared at him with a straight face: "You have no respect for your elders!"

She looked even funnier when she had a serious face.

The ladies of noble rank gathered on the other side all looked over with smiles on their faces.

Especially the headmaster of the women's academy, Bai Lian Jushi Cui Han, who stared at Jiang Li with shining eyes and an expression that said "so cute, I really want to pinch her".

The palace gates were opened, and under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, civil and military officials filed into the Fengtian Hall to congratulate the emperor and wish him a happy new year.

Under the guidance of female officials, all the imperial edicts went to Ci'an Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

In the Fengtian Hall, Nangong Qinghe, dressed in the emperor's crown and robes, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, sat on a high throne with solemnity and dignified look, watching the princes, nobles, civil and military officials cheering him "Long live the emperor" and wishing him a happy new year.

Prime Minister Liang stepped out and congratulated the emperor on behalf of all officials.

He knelt in the middle of the steps and addressed the emperor respectfully: "It is the first day of the year, the three Yangs are in full bloom, and everything is new. I respectfully wish that His Majesty the Emperor will receive the blessings of heaven and prosper forever."

All the civil and military officials kowtowed four times to the emperor: "Long live the emperor!"

Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly and said loudly: "I share the joy of Li Duan with you all."

When his eyes fell on the petite figure standing among the dukes and marquises, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

A'li looked really lovely in the royal attire.

Also watching Jiang Li silently was Wei Wang Nangong Yonghe.

His pale face made his red lips and white teeth look even more charming and handsome.

After all the officials finished their congratulations, Yuanbao stepped forward, bowed and reported something to Nangong Qinghe.

Nangong Qing and Jiang Li looked over and said with a smile, "Marquis Jing'an, the Queen Mother has summoned you to come and see her."

"The minister obeys the order."

Jiang Li followed Eunuch Liang who came to pick her up.

Arriving at Ci'an Palace, Jiang Li respectfully congratulated the Empress Dowager on the New Year.

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "I heard that Marquis Jing'an looked very charming in his auspicious attire, and it is indeed true."

All the ladies started laughing.

Jiang Li blushed slightly and congratulated Zhang Wanwan and Concubine Lu on the New Year.

Zhang Wanwan pulled her up, and couldn't help but pinch her tender face, saying with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, she is indeed very lovely."

Jiang Li smiled bitterly. He called her over specifically because he wanted to see her wearing the wedding dress.

She secretly thanked God that Cui Jin was in confinement after giving birth, otherwise her face would have suffered even more.

The palace banquet began.

Jiang Li followed the Queen Mother and the Queen to the banquet.

The court musicians played the "Zhonghe Shao Music" and all the ministers stood in silence to salute and respectfully welcome the emperor.

His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Consort took their seats in order.

It was Jiang Li's first time to attend such a grand palace banquet, so she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Xie Changan saw her coming and waved to her.

Jiang Li ran over happily and sat down beside him.

Xie Changan said with a smile: "Shouldn't our Marquis sit on the side of the Dukes and Marquises?"

Jiang Li smiled sweetly: "I want to sit with my husband, is my husband unhappy?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Of course I am very happy about it."

The two of them looked affectionate on the surface, but in their hearts they were talking about other things through a mutual understanding.

Jiang Li asked: "When do we set off?"

Xie Changan said, "When the palace banquet is halfway through, His Majesty will try his best to delay the King of Wei and prevent him from leaving early."

"it is good."

There was a food box on the table in front of them.

Jiang Li opened it curiously and saw snacks such as persimmon cakes, dried lychees, dried longans, chestnuts, candied dates, etc.

"This is called the 'Good Luck Box'. If you eat this, everything will go well for you this year." Xie Changan said with a smile.

Jiang Li said happily: "Then you have to eat more, everything will be fine."

She picked a candied date and put it in her mouth, then picked a dried longan and stuffed it into Xie Changan's mouth.

There were palace maids and eunuchs beside them, such as the pot steward, the wine steward, and the food steward. Seeing this, a palace maid smiled and said, "I wish the Marquis and Mr. Xie a son soon."

Xie Changan smiled and took out a silver ingot from his sleeve: "Well said, reward!"

The maid was overjoyed: "Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Seeing this, the other palace servants also gathered around with smiles on their faces, pouring out compliments like "two babies in three years", "dragon and phoenix bring good luck", "a house full of children and grandchildren", "hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren"...

After a while, Xie Changan distributed countless rewards.

Jiang Li was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. What she was eating were candied dates, and what she stuffed into Xie Changan were dried longans. Didn't that mean "have a baby soon"?

Her face turned red and she pinched Xie Changan hard on the table.

Xie Changan felt pain, grabbed her little hand, and said with a smile: "It was obviously given to me by my wife..."

The two were flirting with each other, and when Jiang Li looked up, she met Nangong Yonghe's gloomy gaze.

Xie Changan followed her gaze and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

Nangong Yonghe curled the corners of his mouth slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand to them, and drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, the musicians played the "Danbi Grand Music" and the people from the Guanglu Temple began to offer the imperial banquet.

Jiang Li saw that the table was filled with imperial cuisine, with all kinds of delicacies, which looked very delicious.

Xie Changan said to her in his heart: "It's just for show, it doesn't taste that good. Just have a few bites, and we'll go home and eat after we're done."

Jiang Li thought so too. The weather was so cold, and the food had to be cold after being sent all the way from the imperial kitchen.

At this time, the people in Guanglu Temple began to present the Nine Jue to the emperor.

Nangong Qinghe raised his cup and said, "I will drink this with you gentlemen."

The wine-drinking palace attendant on the side poured wine for Xie Changan and Jiang Li.

The two men raised their glasses and stood respectfully, drinking from the cup together with everyone else, congratulating the Great Chu for good weather, peace and prosperity in the new year.

The banquet officially began.

The dancers from the Jiaofang Bureau danced gracefully, and the ministers began to clink glasses and toast each other.

The palace maid beside her diligently served the dishes to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li tried a dish of bamboo shoots and chicken breast. It tasted good, but it was cold.

It was naturally uncomfortable to eat cold dishes in the middle of winter, so she put down her chopsticks, picked up the spoon, and drank a small bowl of deer antler chicken soup.

She and Xie Changan will be going on a secret mission soon, so she can't get an upset stomach.

After three rounds of drinking, Xie Changan said to Jiang Li quietly, "Get ready to go."

The two of them then stood up and left, pretending to change their clothes.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Qinghe winked at Yin Jiu beside him, and Yin Jiu bowed and left.

Nangong Qinghe's eyes fell on Nangong Yonghe, and he said with a smile: "Second brother, you have been back to the capital for some time. Do you have a favorite woman? If you have a favorite, I will grant you a marriage on this auspicious day."

Nangong Yonghe is older than Nangong Xihe. After tracing his ancestry, he is ranked second in age.

Empress Dowager Zhang also smiled and said, "The emperor is right. The Prince of Wei's mansion also needs a mistress to take care of it. It is better to marry a princess as soon as possible."

The eyes of the noble ladies present all lit up when they heard this.

Although there are rumors that King Wei has a short life, he is very handsome!

The royal family has good genes. From the emperor to the princes, each one is more handsome than the other.

Especially since he recently recognized the King of Wei, he is simply like a god.

Besides, he doesn’t have a wife yet!

I heard that he is in poor health, so there won't be too many beautiful girls in the palace in the future. Maybe they can be alone for the rest of their lives.

He is absolutely the best candidate for the ideal husband of the noble lady of Chu!

Nangong Yonghe sighed: "It's a pity that the prince is interested, but the goddess is not!"

Nangong Qinghe asked curiously, "Whose family is this girl from? How could she not be interested in such a talented person like my brother?"

Nangong Yonghe said shyly: "I dare not hide it from your Majesty. When I was in Yangzhou, I met Jing'an Hou by chance. I fell in love with him at first sight and have never forgotten him since then..."

All the ministers were speechless.

You could fall in love with anyone else, but you actually fall in love with a married woman!
