Fragrance Returned

The emperor stretched out his right hand, and Xunxiang put her small hand into his big one.

The emperor said, "This is Xiangxiang. She came back to me after going through many difficulties and obstacles. She was persecuted by the rebels and narrowly escaped death. It was unfortunate. She was lucky because she fell into the Ding family. The Ding family loves her deeply. Yi, raised her very well..."

The fourth prince stood up and bowed and said, "My father is so blessed that Xiangxiang can return here unscathed..."

The fifth prince stood up again and said, "Father, I am blessed by heaven, and my blessings will benefit my dragon sons and grandsons..."

Except for the eldest prince, all the princes stood up and blew a rainbow fart.

Then, the concubines and princesses praised her again.

Dongyang, Xunxiang's mother, also said a few words, which were sincere and she even shed a few tears.

Amidst the sounds of ritual music, the rhythmic "Flattery Sutra" pushed the banquet to a climax.

Xunxiang had to admit that the place where flattery made the loudest noise was none other than the royal family.

Compared with them, I pale into insignificance.

Xunxiang stood up and kowtowed to the emperor three times. She thanked the emperor for his great blessings, and she was able to come back...

The emperor's grandfather was very happy.

The snacks and tea cups on the table were removed, and the palace servants filed in with wine and dishes, placing them on the table one by one.

Everyone began to eat, drink and watch singing and dancing.

The royal banquet is not full, and the delicious Xunxiang does not dare to be indulgent.

Less than half an hour later, the emperor put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal and went out first.

Then the queen led Xunxiang out of the hall, and everyone got up and left.

The emperor returned to Tai Chi Hall, and Queen Ye took Xun Xiang back to Kunning Palace in a jade chariot.

At noon on the ninth day of the lunar month, Xunxiang was preparing to go home when Dongyang suddenly came.

"I'm here to take Xiangxiang back home."

Queen Ye was very satisfied, "This is a good mother. My daughter has just come back and wants lots of kisses. As for the fake one, it's time to put her hands down."

Xunxiang promised Queen Ye that she would accompany her again in a few days and would bring Feifei and Heiwa to her.

Also taken away were a female official and two large cars as gifts.

The female official was given by Queen Ye, her surname was Wang, and she was less than thirty years old.

Palace maids usually leave the palace at the age of twenty-five. Most of them cannot find a good family after leaving the palace at this age. Some women who become female officials and are favored by their masters do not want to get married, but want to earn more money in the palace. After leaving the palace, they either rely on the money in their hands to support their old age, or train girls from wealthy families to continue to make money...

There were two nuns who left the palace and worked as nuns for Xun Feng. Although they became officials, they were not slaves. Xunfeng was driven back to Xun's house, and they were unwilling to follow him. Dongyang and Xunfeng could not keep them.

Now that Xunxiang is the princess, she is qualified to use female officials. Even if Grandma Wang goes to the Princess Mansion, she is still a female official with a salary from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not until she was released from the palace that she was considered "official".

Queen Ye gave Xunxiang peace of mind. For example, Aunt Chai was given to Dongyang by Queen Ye, but Silly Bangchui was willing to listen to Aunt Yan.

The two carts of gifts included silks and satin and jewelry ornaments from the Queen, two ancient paintings and several sets of high-quality brush and ink inkstones from the Emperor, as well as meeting gifts from the concubines, princes, and princesses, and candies and snacks made in the imperial kitchen.

In the carriage, Dongyang glanced at Xunxiang playfully. This girl was beyond her expectation. In three days, she received more honors and favors than she had received in thirty years, let alone Xun Feng.

After pondering for a moment, Dongyang still said, "Xiangxiang, did the Queen's grandmother say that you went to the palace to study?"

"I told you. It's time for a long vacation. I won't go to Jingfangzhai to study until the 23rd of the first lunar month next year."

Dongyang said again, "You are the princess, and it is required to have a companion. Mom was thinking, Xunfeng is good, how about letting her be your companion?"

Xunxiang looked at Dongyang in horror and said that she sounded good with sticks and sticks, not even as good as her mother in her previous life.

What should I do? Xunxiang misses Mrs. Zhang again. She misses her so much.

Dongyang saw his daughter looking at him in surprise, and felt that this proposal would make her unhappy.

She explained warmly, "Feng'er's elder is not good and has been severely punished. He will be executed in a few days. Feng'er is not guilty. She has nothing now. Mother wants to give her some dignity and find a good family in the future. .

"Oh, mother went to Xun's Mansion yesterday. She became even more seriously ill and was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left. That child has always been so strong..."

Xunxiang wanted to use foul language, she was so forceful to do my shit.

Asked, "Her elders were executed, so she can study in the palace?"

Dongyang said, "My mother doesn't want her to actually enter the palace as a reading companion, she just wants this name. When a year passes and you are twelve years old, she will be able to accompany you to study for a few days..."

Xunxiang understood. Dongyang meant that Xunfeng was recorded as her reading companion. Because something happened, someone else was temporarily asked to study with her on behalf of Xunfeng. What Xunfeng wants is the name of "companion reading"...

Why?

Xunfeng had not taken enough advantage of him, but she had already returned to her original shape, so she still wanted to give her bonuses with both hands?

Xunxiang no longer wanted to be like a stupid stick, but she was so angry that her liver ached.

Xun Xiang had never thought about dealing with Xun Feng before, because she had already put that little brat out of her sight, and felt that she had fallen to the ground and was not even an enemy.

The emperor and the empress did not liquidate her, because they were thinking of that little nurturing feeling...

Xunfeng was not satisfied yet and dared to use Dongyang to reach out again.

What a greedy and stupid person, who has been put on the pole to be punished.

The emperor and empress said more than once that they were sorry to Xun Xiang for allowing the descendants of the child thief to take advantage of her, not only mentally but also materially.

If he knew that Xun Feng still wanted to take advantage of Xun Xiang, Dongyang would actually indulge her...

Xun Xiang asked, "Is this what Xun Feng means?"

Dongyang said, "Oh, she cried so sadly that the old man wanted to drive her to Huizhou Zhuangzi... Huh, this means you don't take me seriously. No matter how bad Xunfeng is, I have raised her for eleven years. Adopted daughter.

"Let her be your companion, and the Xun family can't send her away."

Xun Xiang said, "Mom, it's too late. I have told the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother to ask sister Tao Jing to be my companion. They like it very much and say that Tao Weng's granddaughter can't be wrong."

Dongyang frowned and said, "Xiangxiang didn't even say to discuss such a big matter with mother. How about changing to someone else next time I go to the palace and tell my father and mother?"

She knew that she could not wrong Tao Jing like that even if she was going to Tao Weng and Mrs. Tao.

If it were a daughter of a minor official, even though she didn't have the title of companion, she would be willing to join the palace chief to see her.

Xun Xiang said, "If you want to say it, you have to hurry up. Mr. Tao is on duty at the Hanlin Academy. If the emperor's grandfather sees him saying that, he won't be able to regret it."

When Dongyang heard this, he quickly stopped the carriage.

Yin Huan, who was in the car behind, got out of the car and ran forward, "What are your orders, Your Highness the Princess?"

Dongyang said, "Go back to the palace immediately and tell the Queen that Xiangxiang wants to change her reading partner..."

She was embarrassed to say what Xun Feng would have said.

Xun Xiang said, "My mother said Xun Feng is good, let's take her instead."

A trace of surprise flashed through Yinhuan's eyes, and she quickly lowered her eyes and knelt down and said, "Yes."
