Chapter 333 Going to the Banquet ([-])

After staying with the queen for a while, the eldest princess took An Xiuer to meet the current emperor. Unlike what An Xiuer had imagined, the emperor was already a bit old. Not only that, his face was also very haggard, and he would still look pale from time to time. Cough twice, the mental state is really worrying.

"Zhaoyue, you haven't come here for a long time, why do you have time to come here today?" But it happened yesterday, and it has already been heard by the emperor. Maybe the emperor has already guessed the reason for the princess's visit, but it was only because of the royal family. People who are good at acting, so he still asked the eldest princess.

"I heard that your father is ill. Zhaoyue is worried about your father's health, so she came here to visit you." The eldest princess said.

The emperor smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Zhaoyue, you have a heart, what about this girl?"

He looked at An Xiu'er. At this moment, he really doesn't look like an emperor at all, but just like an ordinary grandfather. If it weren't for the dragon robe he was wearing, no one would have imagined that he was an emperor. .

"This is my daughter, her name is Xiu'er." The eldest princess bowed and said, repeating the previous rhetoric from the queen.

Unlike the queen's inquiry and suspicion, the emperor was very accommodating. However, when he glanced at An Xiu'er, there was a hint of sternness in his smiling eyes, which actually made An Xiu'er feel a little terrified.

Her identity is naturally true, she has no pretense, so she is open and frank, so there is no need to be afraid.

"You want to ask her for the position of princess?" The emperor looked at the eldest princess and said.

"Yes, I also ask my father to agree. This child has suffered too much since he was a child outside." The eldest princess said.

"Okay, since you said it in person, I naturally agree." The emperor glanced at An Xiu'er and asked, "What's your name?"

"My original name was An, and I didn't have a real name. My family called me Xiu'er." An Xiu'er replied.

"In this case, then I will give you the title of An Ning." The emperor said.

"Thank you, father, for granting the title." The eldest princess was overjoyed when she heard the words, and gently tugged An Xiu'er, and An Xiu'er knelt down to salute belatedly.

The emperor smiled at An Xiu'er, with a kind look on his face, the sharp look in An Xiu'er's eyes before seemed to have never appeared on his face, An Xiu'er also pretended not to notice anything, Anyway, she was frank and frank.

After the emperor asked for the position of princess, the eldest princess took An Xiu'er and left. Along the way, she had a smile on her face, very happy.

Seeing her smiling so happily, An Xiu'er smiled too.

The eldest princess took her hand and said: "With the position of the princess, your status will be higher than that of the ladies in the capital. They will salute you when they see you, and they dare not act presumptuously in front of you." , in the future, mother will take you to the banquet, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"Thank you, mother." An Xiu'er nodded and smiled. Although she didn't care about the position of princess, all of this was the eldest princess' painstaking effort, and she had to appreciate it.

"Thank you, I should have done all of this. I am really sorry for causing you to be wronged for so many years." The eldest princess was still a little bit sorry, and she was thinking about what else she should do. things.

She has been silent for many years, and now she just feels that she has nowhere to go. When she returns to the eldest princess's mansion, after An Xiu'er returns to her room to rest, the eldest princess is still thinking of ways to make her happy, and she even asks Nanny Li, let Nanny Li advise for herself.

On the one hand, Nanny Li felt sorry for the eldest princess, but on the other hand, she was happy that she had recovered and was full of vitality.

After thinking for a while, she said: "The little princess doesn't have any friends in this capital, and she doesn't know anyone. When she goes outside in the future, she will inevitably be bullied by some people who don't have long eyes. Otherwise, you will hold a banquet for her? Put her Introduce to the famous ladies in the capital?"

"I want to wait until her birthday to hold the banquet. It happens to be the day when she confers the title of princess, and it is a good thing. But you are right. Before that, I will take her to participate more often." Some banquets, in case these people don't know, they haven't had time to prepare gifts for my Xiu'er in advance."

The eldest princess continued: "You ask someone to write a post and send it to all the daughters of officials, big and small, in the capital, and invite them to attend Xiu'er's birthday party."

"Yes, are all the daughters of officials in the capital sent, regardless of their positions?" Madam Li asked. Generally speaking, the eldest princess has a high status, and these posts are only sent to some royal relatives and some senior officials. Women, generally the daughters of officials below the third rank, are not eligible to get it.

"That's right, I'll send it to everyone this time, and I'll tell them all." The eldest princess said, "There's no need for any official position, but in the homes of these girls, choose a girl who is pleasing to the eye and come to accompany you." My family's Xiu'er is also good, although the daughters of these high-ranking officials look gentle and demure, they have high vision, so they are not suitable to serve my family's Xiu'er."

"You're right." Nanny Li nodded, indicating that she would write it down.

The eldest princess nodded, and said to Nanny Li: "Who has a banquet recently, show me the post."

Although the eldest princess has been living in her mansion all these years and doesn't care about world affairs, whenever some ladies and ladies are going to have a banquet, they will still send her a post, but she will not go, even these years, She doesn't even read these posts.

"Okay." It was rare for the eldest princess to take the initiative to attend a banquet at someone else's house this time, and Nanny Li quickly brought over the greeting cards.

As far as the posts from the last month are concerned, there is a stack of thick ones, and the eldest princess didn't bother to open them one by one, she just said to Nanny Li: "You choose these greeting posts and arrange them according to the date. I will arrange them one by one. take a look."

"Okay." Li Mama gave a stiff voice, and began to ask the maids to share the greeting cards. After a while, she took a few greeting cards and handed them to the eldest princess, saying: "Princess, this is the post for tomorrow's banquet. Please take a look." ?”

The eldest princess reached out to take it. She opened it and saw that it was some low-level official's post. She didn't even read the content, so she just threw it away. After a final look, she also chose a post from a princess in the capital, and handed it over to the Li Nanny said: "Li Nanny, we will go to this banquet tomorrow."

"Yes." Nanny Li nodded. In this capital, there are as many dignitaries as a cow's hair, and there is no shortage of princesses. However, even though they are also nobles as princesses, there are differences in ranks. Like the daughters of some princes, the ranks and statuses are naturally different. Well, the eldest princess is the queen's heart, and her daughter is naturally valued.

And some ordinary princesses, just relying on the blessings of their ancestors, although they were named princesses, they didn't actually have any status, and they were just higher than some aristocratic daughters.

Although the princess chosen by the eldest princess is not particularly high-ranking, she still has a small status in Beijing. In addition, the eldest princess wanted to introduce An Xiuer to everyone, so she decided to attend the banquet.

"We're going to this banquet tomorrow, do you think I should tell Xiu'er today, or tell her tomorrow?" The eldest princess said, and before Mother Li could speak, she said, "Let's forget it. I told her today that if she becomes too nervous to fall asleep later, it will disturb her sleep."

"You're right." Nanny Li nodded. In fact, what she wanted to say was that she shouldn't be nervous with the posture that An Xiu'er put the knife on her neck that day.

She is not even afraid of princesses and lords. She dares to take a knife. Will she be worried about a small banquet?

But seeing that the Eldest Princess had selectively forgotten that part, Nanny Li didn't say any more, otherwise, she would really be the one who didn't open the pot.

"Then I'll tell her tomorrow, remember to remind me to go to the banquet tomorrow." The eldest princess reminded Nanny Li, and Nanny Li nodded. After putting on a set of sackcloth, she went to the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha.

No matter when, the eldest princess never forgot to pay respects to the Buddha, especially after finding An Xiu'er, she became more devout. She believed that God let her meet An Xiu'er, all thanks to the blessing of the Buddha.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, An Xiu'er woke up. She went to the palace yesterday and didn't bring Tuan Tuan with her. She slept with Tuan Tuan last night. At this moment, the little guy is sleeping very well in her arms. sweet.

When she was at home, she would wake up when the sky was slightly bright. She liked to go to the garden in the morning, but today she saw that Tuantuan hadn't woken up yet, so she wanted to sleep with him for a while.

Looking at Tuantuan leaning on her face, the more she looked at her, the softer her heart became. The things the Eldest Princess did for her and the Queen's attitude towards the Eldest Princess appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She is a mother, she can understand the thoughts of the eldest princess, and she can also understand the thoughts of the queen. In this world, probably all mothers have the same thoughts, and everything is for the good of their own children.

After getting up, there were still palace maids who came to take care of her. An Xiu'er was actually not used to other people's service, but at this moment, she was not familiar with everything in the eldest princess's mansion, and remembered that she had to abide by the rules here, so she couldn't help herself. These maids are tossing.

After dressing up, the eldest princess sent someone to tell her that she was going to take her to a banquet today. An Xiuer actually didn't want to go to these banquets. When she was in the Zhang family, she seldom went to banquets. Don't take her with her heart, but later on, she doesn't look down on these banquets anymore. She has limited time and doesn't want to waste it on such hypocrisy.

However, due to the kindness of the Eldest Princess, she wanted to introduce her to everyone, but An Xiuer could only agree.
