The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 291
Sweat dripped from Rong Zonghou's head, being disturbed by Xie Xi like this, he was in chaos for a while, and almost forgot the most important thing!
Ten days later, the emperor will perform the canonization ceremony, and a large number of jewelry and clothing will need to be produced.

According to regulations, each princess needs a dress and four sets of regular clothes.

Especially Lin Zisu is still young, there is no ready-made jewelry in the inner palace, and it needs to be processed and made quickly.

Fortunately, the reminder was timely, and Rong Zonghou gave the officials behind him a look to show his appreciation.

He looked outside the door of the flower hall, and Xie Xi was taking Lin Zisu to check the dowry.

Seeing more than a dozen mahogany boxes being opened on the spot, Rong Zonghou couldn't help feeling dizzy again, got up and left the flower hall, and walked to Lin Zisu in three steps at a time.

Fearing that he would get entangled with Xie Xi, he went straight to Lin Zisu.

"Miss Lin, ah, no, my concubine, several nuns in the palace are still waiting to tailor clothes for you in the side hall. If you go back late, I am worried that you will miss the next thing. Otherwise, you just move on." past?"

Lin Zisu responded immediately, talked to Xie Xi, and walked towards the side hall.

Xie Xi also wanted to follow him, Rong Zonghou hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, pointed to the flower hall and said, "Your Highness, please come this way, Uncle Kang Ning is still waiting for you to salute over there!"

Hearing that he was going to salute Lin Yuanzhi, Xie Xi stopped and walked towards the flower hall as he said.

Rong Zonghou couldn't help admiring his quick wit, the prince and the concubine were not yet married, it would be a great disrespect for the prince to go to see the concubine's clothes at this time.

Xie Xi's face doesn't matter, spreading it out will hurt the court's face and affect Rong Zonghou's future.

Fortunately, Xie Xi was pulled back in time, and Rong Zonghou couldn't help but gasped.

This breath hadn't come out yet, and something that broke him down even more came. Xie Xi walked into the flower hall, knelt down towards Lin Yuanzhi, and kowtowed three times in a proper manner.

There is indeed a folk custom of son-in-law kowtowing to his future father-in-law to thank him for entrusting his daughter.

But Xie Xi is a majestic prince, there is no need to perform such a big gift when meeting other people except the empress.

Even Lin Yuanzhi was stunned, and didn't understand for a moment whether Xie Xi had taken the wrong medicine.

However, he still had a bit of reason, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Xie Xi, and said: "Your Highness, please get up quickly, I can't afford such a great gift."

Xie Xi stood up immediately, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, we will be a family from now on, you can call me Xiaosi, you are welcome."

Hearing the words "family", Lin Yuanzhi trembled and took a step back.

He wanted to say a few tough words at first, but then he thought that the royal dowry was placed in the courtyard, and he had personally agreed to it during the wedding.

And Lin Zisu just now went to see the dowry with Xie Xi with a smile on her face. It can be seen that her daughter has no resistance to this marriage.

As it turned out, it seemed that it would be useless for him to object.

Lin Yuanzhi couldn't help sighing, staring at Xie Xi and said: "Your Highness, I will entrust the eldest sister to you, and hope that you will treat her well in the future."

Xie Xi said solemnly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Su Su married into Dun Wang's mansion, and my son-in-law will definitely take good care of her and never let her suffer any grievances."

The two sat down and chatted like ordinary Weng son-in-law.

In the side hall not far away, Mrs. Bi accompanied several nuns in the palace to tailor clothes for Lin Zisu.

Two nuns in their 30s were meticulously measuring Lin Zisu's body size, while two young court ladies memorized the numbers.

The size of the clothes was almost the same. At this time, Lin Zisu was sitting on a chair, and one nun was measuring the circumference of her head with a tape measure, while the other nun took off her shoes and socks, and measured the size of her head. The length and width of the sole of the foot.

"The girl's feet look like a lucky person."

Seeing Lin Zisu's well-proportioned and fair feet, and her ten toes neatly arranged like young lotus root buds, the nanny couldn't help admiring.

Another nun also echoed: "Yes, the girl's heaven is full, and the flowers are thick. This old slave has served so many nobles. Except for the queen and Miss Fang, the girl's hair is the best."

Mrs. Bi was delighted from ear to ear after hearing the compliments from the two nuns, regardless of whether the other party was flattering or not.

Apart from these two nuns, there was an older nun standing aside.

Seeing that she was almost busy here, she came to Lin Zisu and bowed lightly, and said, "Miss Lin, your servant's surname is Lu, she is the teacher and mother of the palace, and by order of the concubine Zhuang, she will live in the house these few days." Commander, teach the girl some palace rules."

Lin Zisu saw that this nanny was about 50 years old, with thin cheeks, and a pair of hanging eyes full of evil spirits.

Hearing that it was someone sent by Concubine Zhuang, Lin Zisu gave a "thud" in her heart, but the smile on her face remained undiminished, and she replied: "Concubine Zhuang has a heart, and Madam Lu will be here for a few days."

After finishing her courteous greetings with Nanny Lu, she then said to Mrs. Bi: "Nurse Lu rarely leaves the palace, please trouble mother to arrange a quiet courtyard for Nanny Lu to live in."

Bi Shi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ordered someone to clean it up.

The nuns were very agile in their hands and feet, and in a short while, they finished their errands and bid farewell.

Bi Shi and the others exchanged a few words of courtesy, and in the end they each stuffed a red envelope and settled down.

Rong Zonghou was a little relieved until he got a reply from the nuns.

After finishing the important things, he can go back and return to Qian Minzhong with peace of mind.

But today's mess, I'm afraid it will reach the emperor's ears sooner or later.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but the dowry gift of 120 eight dan cannot be bypassed no matter what, and it still has to be explained by Xie Xi.

Xie Xi wanted to keep it for lunch, but was forced back to the palace by Rong Zonghou on the grounds of "recovering the holy will".

Just after lunch, Nanny Lu went to Lin Zisu's yard and began to teach Lin Zisu the so-called "rules".

Nanny Lu first handed over a dozen pieces of paper to Lin Zisu, and said with a cold face, "From now on, we will follow the rules in the palace. The slaves wrote down all the rules on this piece of paper, please memorize them all." Come down, and follow it."

Lin Zisu took the dozen or so sheets of paper, glanced at them briefly, and sneered secretly in her heart.

There are indeed all kinds of rules in the palace, but there are differences in respect and inferiority. What Madam Lu wrote are all the rules of the palace ladies.

If he really followed the rules written on the paper, once Lin Zisu showed his face in the palace, he would definitely be ridiculed by others.

Lin Zisu flipped through the paper calmly, and asked softly, "Nurse Lu, start at Yin hour and rest at Hai hour, are all the empresses in our palace working so hard?"

Mother Lu heard that Lin Zisu's voice had turned down, thinking she was bluffing Lin Zisu, she secretly smugly said, "It's natural, how can it be so easy to gain a foothold in the palace? Like Concubine Zhuang, every day Since Yinshi has started to handle palace affairs, the people below us should set an example for your empress!"
