Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 335 Side by Side

  The little baby is wrapped in a swaddle, only a small face can be seen.

  Lin Hao looked at his niece with love and affection, and sighed in his heart: The newborn baby is so ugly.

   Hearing Lin's smile: "You look really good, just like Chan'er and Ah Hao when they were young."

  Lin Hao: ?

  The mother was weak and could not speak for too long. Seeing that her mother and sister were leaving, Lin Chan took Lin Hao's hand and said, "Ah, I heard from your brother-in-law that the son-in-law was adopted to the emperor's knees—"

  Like the old lady and Lin, Lin Chan's first reaction was not joy, but worry.

   When she was engaged to King Wei, she was very stressed because she was afraid that her elders would not dare to show anything on her face. She didn't want to marry into the royal life, and she cringed at the thought of that day.

   But my sister is about to become a crown princess, and she is so affectionate with the prince. If there are other women in the future, it will be more difficult to accept it, right?

   She didn't feel that way before, but after getting married, she and her husband melded together, and only then did she understand that she didn't care if she didn't love.

   "Don't worry about me, big sister. I can always make myself better."

   It is not so much that she trusts Ah Shuo, it is better to say that what she trusts is the way she sees people and her ability to live a good life even if it is only herself.

   This is probably the most precious wealth that Rebirth I brought her.

  Lin Chan looked at her bright-eyed sister, and let her heart down.

   After returning to the General's Mansion, Mrs. Lin told the old lady about her little granddaughter: "I didn't expect that I would become a grandmother. Such a small person slept very soundly with his eyes closed, exactly the same as when Chan'er and Ah Hao were young."

  The old lady was full of interest: "Really? It must be very beautiful..."

   Next, I listened to Lin's eloquent description of how good-looking the little granddaughter's eyebrows and eyes are, where is she like her mother, where is she like an aunt, and as for her son-in-law Han Baocheng? Don't be kidding, isn't it ugly if you look like a son-in-law, not at all.

  Lin Hao couldn't listen anymore, so he hurried back to Prince Jing's mansion.

  The grand ceremony of the Prince's book was set in mid-spring and February, when the flowers were blooming.

The day before    auspicious days, Emperor Tai'an assigned Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites to preside over the sacrificial activities, and reported the great event of the establishment of the reserve to the heaven and earth and the Taimiao.

  The sun is turning, the spring is bright and the wind is beautiful. The civil and military officials were in the hall, and Qi Shuo was wearing a red robe, with a solemn expression listening to the Emperor Zaifu read out the imperial edict.

  King Jing stood in front of the officials, silently watching his eldest son, who was tall and straight, with a face like a crown of jade, salute and thank his new father, tears streaming down his face.

  The fourth brother is really not a thing, that day in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he looked pitiful as an old candle, and when his heart softened, he didn't insist much. As a result, he is now holding the canonization ceremony in full swing.

   King Jing thought of the sad part and wiped his tears.

   Emperor Tai'an, who accepted the new prince's kowtow, seemed to feel a little bit, and he cast his eyes over, seeing that King Jing, who had red eyes, not only was not angry, but when Qi Shuo finished the ceremony, he spoke in a very gentle tone as a father.

   King Jing almost cried.

   Fourth brother is definitely intentional!

   At the same time, the ceremony of consecrating the crown princess was held in the inner hall.

  Lin Hao finished the ceremony step by step in a formal dress, thanked Emperor Tai'an who returned to the Qianqing Palace, and then went to see Concubine Zhuang who was in charge of the harem.

   Concubine Zhuang has a polite and close attitude, and is a person who makes people feel like spring breeze.

  Lin Hao felt lucky.

   Concubine Zhuang, as the actual hostess of the harem, if she is mean and difficult to deal with, she, the prince concubine who has to deal with frequently, will inevitably have a headache.

  The next person to visit is Concubine Jing, the biological mother of the first prince.

  Concubine Jing lives in Ningxin Palace, not far from Concubine Zhuang's Yuhe Palace. But unlike the vigor of Yuhe Palace, the entire Ningxin Palace has a low, quiet like a cold palace.

   Lin Hao didn't see Concubine Jing's face.

   "My lady is ill, and I'm worried that I will pass on the sickness to the Crown Princess, so I will not pay her a visit. I also invite the Crown Princess Haihan."

   "Then I'll see you again when Empress is well."

Lin Hao was not surprised that    avoided seeing Concubine Jing.

  How can the pain of losing a son be relieved so easily? Concubine Jing thought about her son who had an accident soon after becoming a prince.

The Tai'an Emperor's harem was not full, and there were only four concubines. Lin Hao met the other two concubines again, and the fourth concubines didn't need to visit them. After that, he returned to the East Palace and met with Qi Shuo, who was wearing Zhupao. .

  According to the etiquette, the concubine had to bow four times to the prince. Lin Hao was stopped by Qi Shuo as soon as he made the gesture of bowing.

   "Are you tired?" Qi Shuo asked nonchalantly with the shocked eyes of the female official.

   Lin Hao also didn't care about the female officer's gaze that turned from shock to accusation, and said with a smile, "It's okay, how about you?"

   "I'm fine too." Qi Shuo naturally held Lin Hao's hand.

   The ceremony was obviously cumbersome, long and boring. Thinking that Ah Hao is also going through this process, and they are always side by side, it makes sense.

  The female official finally recovered from the shock and reminded: "His Royal Highness, this—"

   Before he could say the words "Yu etiquette does not match", he was blocked by the cold glance of the young man in red clothes.

   "This is the East Palace." Qi Shuo said lightly.

  It's just outside the East Palace, at least in the home that belongs to the two, he doesn't want to be a couple wearing a mask with Ah Hao in order to conform to the cognition of others.

   The lady's lips moved, but after all, she didn't have the courage to refute, Nuonuo stepped aside.

   "I'm going to change my clothes, and I'm going to see a foreign wife."

  The meeting with the wife of foreign orders means that the wife of foreign orders congratulates the crown princess.

   This is the first time that Lin Hao has dealt with noble ladies of various prefectures as the princess.

In the past two years, the ladies have heard the various deeds of the second lady Lin. However, Lin Hao is different from them, and the Lin family is not someone who will take her daughter out for entertainment. In other words, this is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the woman who lives in the rumors.

   After such a careful observation, the princess turned out to be a person who could not make mistakes in etiquette.

   Many people exchanged glances quietly, thinking that this is not normal, so that after returning to the mansion, they still can't relax.

  The imperial ceremony was issued on the second day, and the news that Da Zhou had a new prince was completely spread among the people.

  The winter snow has already melted away. The palace change that happened in the cold winter and the death of the queen mother seem to be very far away. Several main streets in the capital are covered with red knots to celebrate the establishment of the prince, and the pedestrians on the streets are also smiling.

  According to the usual practice, such a big happy event of the Tianjia cannot be without some grace to the people. The people can really get benefits, and there is no reason to be unhappy.

  There are always exceptions to everything. A young man walking slowly out of the bookstore was stunned at first when he heard the news. He grabbed a lively person and asked about it, and stumbled to the house.

   It was a low and dilapidated private house. The narrow alleys were filled with sewage and the smell was unpleasant. He slammed open a door and ran in, regardless of the dirty soles he stepped on.
