Chapter 1014: Go eat steamed buns

Xiao Zhen didn't mind, she just sat down and poured herself a glass of wine and began to drink slowly. Xi Ya and Xiang'er took care of the outfield matters, so she felt free to relax even if she didn't like it.

"Hello, Mrs. Han." The elegant woman walked to Xiao Zhen's side and bowed slightly.

Xiao Zhen looked at this woman with extraordinary appearance and demeanor with a smile: "Who are you?"

Xi Ya asked Xiang'er to greet all the officials' wives, walked up to Xiao Zhen, bowed to the lady, and then said to Xiao Zhen: "Sister, this is Princess An."

Xiao Zhen was slightly surprised. Prince An was none other than the only surviving prince of the late Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Lu. She later married the late emperor and gave birth to three princes. What happened next is known to everyone.

, Ren Jinxiu put the three princes under house arrest, and a few years later they were exiled as common people. Two of the princes died of illness during the exile. In fact, they were killed by people sent by the Queen Mother Ren, and the other one survived by luck.

Come down.

Later, there was too much controversy in the court. After all, the late emperor did not have many heirs, and the emperor had not yet given birth to a prince. In order to quell the controversy, the queen mother pardoned the still-living prince and named him King An to prevent the ministers from harming each other.

Mouth of several big families.

The word An, as the name implies, means that he is allowed to be safe. Although he was named king, it was obvious that his life would not be easy. To everyone's surprise, the current emperor actually reused this King An, and King An did not

Everything was done well according to the trust, which is why all the officials, ladies and talents just now were so friendly to Princess An.

"Old Madam," Princess An smiled lightly and said in a gentle voice: "My maiden name is Mo, and my mother's maiden name is Weiying. My mother once drew a portrait of the old lady, so I recognized the old lady when I saw her."

Xiao Zhen was naturally familiar with Mo Weiying. She was a strange woman. She not only opened schools and private schools to train children, but also promoted women's education so that women could also study. Apart from these, what Xiao Zhen cannot forget about her is that she once had a relationship with her.

Shi Yan had plotted against her together. But Mrs. Mo had never married, so how could she have such a big daughter?

As if she saw the doubt in Xiao Zhen's eyes, Princess An said: "I am your mother's adopted daughter."

That's it. Xiao Zhen nodded: "How is your mother?"

Princess An's eyes darkened: "She passed away three years ago."

Xiao Zhen sighed: "When people are alive, they must go back. It would be too sad not to talk about this. Let's stop standing and sit down. The banquet is about to begin."

"Old madam, please take a seat."

"No, I'll just sit here. The upper seat is too tiring."

"Then I'll sit here with you."

"If you want to sit here, those officials and family members won't know how to annoy you. Sit down where you belong. Young people should be a little tired." Xiao Zhen laughed and said.

Princess An: "" Mrs. Han speaks so directly, she is really not used to it.

"The banquet is about to begin." The voice of a servant outside came.

As soon as they heard that the banquet was about to begin, all the official family members sat down one after another. Several people came over to ask Xi Ya and Xiang'er to sit next to Princess An. The two naturally refused. These official family members were all second-grade or above. They were merchants and also smugglers.

You have to be the queen to sit here. Even for Yao'er, you have to have this self-awareness, otherwise it will cause trouble for Yao'er.

It had been a long time since Xiao Zhen had drank so much. Although it was just a small drink, he still drank five drinks.

Xi Ya and Xiang'er didn't try to persuade her. They knew that Sister A Zhen had her own sense of proportion.

While they were drinking happily, a palace maid from outside came in and whispered something next to Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen said in a dumbfounded voice: "Yao'er is too impatient."

The palace maid covered her mouth and smiled: "My slave said the same thing, but the empress said that the old lady has good taste, and she insisted on letting the old lady take a look."

The eyes of the officials and family members all fell on Xiao Zhen curiously. They must know that the maid who came here was in the personal service of the empress. She was so respectful to an old lady, and they wondered about Xiao Zhen's identity.

As soon as Xiao Zhen left, several official family members came to Xi Ya and Xiang'er to inquire. Naturally, they couldn't find out anything.

Xiao Zhen followed the palace maid to the front yard. On one side of the front yard was a banquet, and on the other side were children throwing pots. The youngest child was still in the arms of the wet nurse, while the oldest one was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there were some teenagers.

The young master and his female relatives looked on and cheered from time to time.

The palace maid pointed at the young girl who was throwing the pot and said: "Old madam, the girl that the empress likes is this one. The fourth girl of Fei Da's family is twelve years old this year, two years younger than the third prince."

"Master Fei? I remember that there was a student accompanying the prince who was also from Na Fei's family. Is it the same Master Fei?" Xiao Zhen thought for a while.

"The old lady has such a good memory. That young master now serves in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is a master at solving crimes. This year, he brought a group of thieves together, and he is highly used by the emperor."

"This girl is good at throwing pots." Xiao Zhen saw that the little girl hit three arrows. "She is not frightened when facing opponents who are stronger than her. She can also concentrate on throwing double shots."

"Your Majesty saw the girl from the Fei family doing exactly what the old lady said when she threw the pot, so she paid attention to this little girl," the palace maid said.

"What's the use of our fancy? We have to let the Third Prince fancy us." Regarding the children's marriage, Xiao Zhen has always just wanted to like each other. When the boys reach a certain age, even if their parents are not in a hurry, they themselves

I will put this matter on the agenda, Yao'er, I'm so impatient.

"The empress said that if the old lady says it's okay, then it must be good."

"So you are here." Han Ziran came over and stood next to his wife and looked at the children playing: "I was just going to find you."

When the palace maid saw Han Ziran, she quickly bowed to him.

"Have you eaten? Didn't you drink?" Ziran didn't smell of alcohol at all.

"No one cares about me." Han Ziran said this with a smile on his face.

"Me too."

The couple looked at each other and saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes.

Xiao Zhen said to the palace maid: "Go and tell Yao'er that as long as they like each other, it will be fine. Ask her to ask the third prince about his thoughts first."

"Yes." The palace maid received the answer and hurried back to the palace to reply.

"Why is Yao'er's personal maid here?" Han Ziran asked curiously.

As soon as Xiao Zhen explained the matter, Han Ziran's eyes naturally fell on the girl and nodded: "It's really good, she smiles like a flower. By the way, our two nephews and wives are both first-rate in appearance.

One."

"Have you met the Crown Princess?"

"I met him during the ceremony yesterday."

At this time, the audience cheered, and saw that the pot throwing had ended, and several scholars began to write poems. Xiao Zhen was not interested in poetry, so he looked up and saw Ziran looking at it with great interest, so he followed

Hold him.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl Na Fei suddenly running out excitedly and throwing herself into the arms of a young man. At a glance, the man knew that he was the little girl's brother. The two of them looked a bit alike.

"What's wrong?" His wife kept tugging on her sleeves, and Han Ziran looked down at her.

"Does that kid look like you when you were young?"

Following what his wife pointed out, Han Ziran saw a young man in his twenties, Lanzhi Yushu, handsome and handsome, very outstanding: "I am better looking."

Xiao Zhen: ""I'm so old, how can I have any confidence?

"Do you know that kid?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the former prince's escort, named Fei Jun." He was cold and cold, with a serious face. He only showed a little warmth when facing his sister. Xiao Zhen couldn't help but think of Zi Ran.

When he was young, he also looked like this, but compared to Zi Ranlai at that time, this child looked more stable.

"Is it him? I heard the emperor mentioned that he is a rare talent. He has solved several major cases in the capital in recent years. His future prospects are limitless."

The two of them retreated from the crowd while talking.

The banquet was still very lively, but now it was silent. Even the singing and dancing were started, and it was Hu Ji who was singing, and everyone showed off their shoulders and twisted their waists, pushing the wedding banquet to the climax.

Seeing that Han Ziran's eyes were attracted, Xiao Zhen pulled him and walked out: "What's there to see?"

"The barbarian's boldness and unrestrainedness are like those of a courting woman." Han Ziran stopped talking, but his wife stared at him.

"That's also the passion of young people. What's so interesting about an old man like you?"

"Okay, I won't watch."

The two of them walked out of the Second Prince's Mansion, saying something to each other.

Compared with the bustle in the house, it is much deserted outside.

After walking a few steps, I saw many people walking towards the north gate of the city, each of them holding chopsticks and baskets, with happy faces on their faces.

Xiao Zhen asked one of the passers-by, who told her: "General Ouyang married his daughter and opened a soup kitchen outside the city. They also distributed the buns, so everyone went to get the buns to eat."

Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran looked at each other and said in unison: "I'm not full."

Han Ziran smiled brightly: "If Yao'er knew about it, he would definitely say that we have nothing to do."
