Chapter 399 Feeling Debt
Chapter 399 Feeling Debt
Just when I was about to lose control of my expression, someone came from the front yard.
It was said that she arrived just in time, and the Queen came personally to help Xia Yining put on makeup and change clothes. This was a great blessing for many families.
There was no doubt that smoke was coming out of the ancestral grave.
Everyone looked at the princess with surprise and envy at first, but also thought it was very normal.
After all, she was very valuable, so it made no difference to her.
If it were them, it would naturally be a very good thing. Once the news of the queen's dressing spread out, the doorsteps of their homes would be broken down by matchmakers.
Without waiting to think further, many people stood up, saluted and left.
The queen walked in happily with the nanny beside her, and her eyes lit up when she saw the eldest princess who had already changed her clothes.
He reached out and touched her delicate face.
“Hehehe... I’ve long felt that it must feel great, and today I finally got to touch it.
The eldest princess doesn't even know that the concubines in the harem fought over your coming-of-age ceremony, and they all wanted to help you dress up."
His hands kept moving while he spoke and he shook his head with a look of regret. It would have been better if his eyes were not so smug.
"Those people can't compete with me, because I am the queen."
She even put her hands on her waist and laughed heartily. From the sound of her voice, it could be heard that the queen was very happy.
Xia Yining: Well, her character reveals a non-serious side, and she matches the new emperor very well, they are worthy of being a couple.
Old lady: My ancestor, you are the queen, the mother of a country.
Servants and maids: This looks familiar. I feel like I have seen it somewhere.
As the auspicious time got closer, the old nanny in front kept sending back news, and Xia Yining's first look was ready.
Following the instructions of the people around him, he slowly walked out.
She took every step leisurely and didn't look nervous at all, which was indeed the case.
Looking at the heads in the yard, she treated them as radishes and cabbages.
Beauty is no longer the last thing that matters to her; her value as a person lies in her.
After walking to the main hall and listening to the singing of praises and paying respects, he went back to change into his second set of clothes.
The third time was the last set of clothes, and Xia Yining's hairstyle also changed, from that of a toddler to that of a young girl.
Different from others, Xia Yining was not wearing a red dress, but a bright yellow dress with a waist that was covered with gold embroidery.
She wore a gold filigree jeweled headpiece on her head, which took a craftsman two years to make and was carved with a lotus.
The lotus has been a sacred flower since ancient times and can be seen in the hands of gods and Buddhas.
It even gave her an aura of divinity, causing many people to not dare to look up and make eye contact with her, for fear that their eyes would pollute her.
Xia Yunle felt very sad. He felt very guilty and thought he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
I didn't protect Ning Bao well when she was very young, and now she has grown up.
He is an unqualified father and he is not worthy of being Ning Bao's father.
Any of the other boys in the family would live a better life than their only daughter. Thinking of this, he burst into tears.
I hate myself for being incompetent and for not being able to help Ning Bao.
The lady sitting next to him also frowned more and more as she looked at the bright yellow figure, and her tears fell more and more violently.
Ningbao has been well-behaved and soft since he was born. He doesn't cry or make a fuss all day and is very easy to take care of.
Whenever I see her every day, my heart is filled with satisfaction.
But she failed to protect her daughter. The little girl who used to be so delicate and soft in her arms has now grown up.
And in her growth trajectory, she could do very little to help, or even no help at all.
Many people outside said that Ning Bao came here to repay his gratitude. He has a good complexion, a good personality, and is very capable.
She accomplished what even her husband couldn't do.
Thanks to her, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and the whole family had a smooth career in officialdom, and their social status was changed again and again. She was truly second to none.
But she felt distressed and guilty that she was not a good mother and did not protect her daughter from the wind and rain.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion owes Ning Bao.
As she thought of this, her tears fell even harder, her fingers tightly grasped the handkerchief, and she was thinking about how her son would work like a slave for her in the future.
She must repay the kindness of her Ning Bao, and she will live with Ning Bao from now on, wherever Ning Bao goes, she will be there.
Xia Yining looked at her sentimental parents helplessly. She knew what they were thinking without even asking.
I must feel ashamed of myself.
But over the years, she has enjoyed just as much love, even when she disappeared.
All the family members went out and searched day and night, of course, it was for the original owner at that time.
Since she had taken over someone else's status, she naturally felt grateful.
Later, when she brought the He family back, she was in a coma for many years, and everyone took very good care of her.
Those brothers and sisters-in-law took turns reporting to the yard and kept whispering in her ears.
Those countless clothes were all sewn by them stitch by stitch.
There were also gold and silver jewelry taken out of her own dowry, which directly filled up her ten warehouses.
No one among them was dissatisfied, and they all wished they could treat her better.
For Xia Yining, she was not treated unfairly, but was well taken care of, and she was very grateful.
As the singers called out, she bowed again and again until she stood up.
Old Madam Xia stood up, and the nanny beside her opened the box, revealing two finely crafted hairpins.
The last step of the coming-of-age ceremony is for her mother to personally put a hairpin on her.
She looked at her mother and smiled, lowering her head slightly so that she could feel more relaxed, which made her look extremely considerate in the eyes of Old Madam Xia.
She cried and warned: "From today on, you have grown up, and your mother has something to tell you.
No matter when, the Prime Minister's Mansion is your home and your support.
Mother knows that you are a capable person, so she will naturally not urge you to get married like she did to your brothers.
Being a woman has never been easy since ancient times. There is no better place to be than being a girl at home.
As long as Ning Bao doesn't want to get married, she doesn't have to. Even if she stays in the mansion for the rest of her life, mother and father can afford to support her.
"When you encounter something in the future, you must never let yourself down, understand?"
She held Xia Yining's hand tightly as she spoke, fearing that if she let go, her daughter would disappear again.
Xia Yining nodded obediently. For a native of ancient times, it was possible to marry off a daughter as early as her teens in that era.
It was really not easy for the mother in front of her to say this, which made her feel soft and sweet in her heart.
It just so happens that she is not planning to get married so early. She is only fifteen years old and her body hasn’t grown well yet!
At least, she would not consider it until she was eighteen years old.
