"It's rare for you," the concubine joked with a smile, "In the past, you were all outside at this time, how did you think of coming to Chengqian Palace today?"

As soon as these words came out, the sisters in the audience laughed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Rao is this palace is thick-skinned, and at this time he can't help but warm his face.

"Erchen knows that his mother dislikes Erchen and is noisy, so he doesn't want to disturb his mother often. Hongu pretended to be a child.

The mother concubine said: "This palace doesn't dislike you. At your age, you should be diligent in your studies. The six arts of a gentleman, which one doesn't need to spend a lot of time? Which one can be left behind? You, wandering around all day long, spend more time on antiques and whimsical than anything else. The crown ceremony is coming, and it's time for you to take care of it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sister Yongtai rushed to say: "Yes, yes, Niangniang, don't you know, Brother Prince also robbed me of a macaw last month! Brother Prince, Niangniang has spoken, I want you to take care of it, you can return the parrot to your sister." ”

"Yongtai, you are also a little child, what is a bird, Huaizhang will take it, and let the bird and beast prison give you another one. Taiping said with a big grin, turned his head and stabbed the palace with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Huaizhang, your white ape has been raised for almost a year, and I heard that it can dance swords? Before the palace could answer, Taiping pulled the belt of the palace and said: "You hid the Yue Nu sword that Zhao Gou gave you last time and didn't let me see it, you can't even let me see a monkey this time, right?" Helplessly, the belt made her pull it loose, and it was not easy to say what the palace refused.

Sister Qinghe covered her sleeves and smiled, and patted Taiping lightly with one hand, and Taiping let go stupidly.

"Sister Taiping, you know that you are helping the prince's brother," Yongtai pouted, "that macaw is a tribute from Fusang, and Da Zhou is such a one, and its body is more than three times larger than that of ordinary parrots, and it can not only speak human language, but also sing songs!"

"Yongtai, don't talk nonsense," Bengong said: "It's just the rest, just 'can speak human language', the parrot is very stupid, Bengong has taught it for half a month, and now it will only have some old sayings such as 'pine crane prolonging life' and 'blessing and longevity', but it's just learning the tongue, and learning is still slow." ”

"Since the prince's brother dislikes it, why don't you return the parrot to your sister?" Yongtai said unrelentingly.

"Alright, you two kids don't make a fuss. Huaizhang, send someone to return the macaw to Yongtai early tomorrow morning. How old is the person, and he still robs his sister's things, and he doesn't know how ashamed he is. The concubine said, summoned a maid to add chestnut cakes to the seat of the palace, and continued, "You should all learn from Qinghe." Qinghe has been with the palace for most of the day, and most of the things about the red leaf banquet are taken care of by Qinghe to help the palace. She is sitting here, dignified and generous, gentle and demure, it can be seen that she is messing around with you? Huaizhang, my mother doesn't ask you how to be obedient, but if you marry a capable and gentle princess like Qinghe, this palace will be at ease. ”

"Is Niangniang going to marry Brother Prince?Brother Prince, do you have a sweetheart?" Yong'an, the youngest, asked crisply on the side.

"Yong'an, you are so young, how do you know your 'sweetheart'?" Yongtai said, "The most important thing about royal marriage is family identity. In this dynasty, only the ladies of the nobles of the gate valve can marry into the royal family, even if the prince's brother really has a sweetheart, if the woman's family background is insufficient, she can only be in the side position. ”

"This is too unpleasant," Taiping sneered, "Huaizhang is the crown prince of the dynasty, in terms of net worth, who can be higher than him? What else does he need to borrow the family background of a crown princess? If you want me to say, whoever Huaizhang likes, then marry whomever he wants, and do so much to do." ”

Yongtai sneered: "You have always disregarded etiquette, and it is not surprising that you think so." ”

Taiping raised his eyebrows and was about to shoot the case, but was pulled by Qinghe. Qinghe shook his head slowly, although Taiping held back, he still sarcastically said: "I'm used to being free anyway, not more expensive than you Jin Jiaoyu, and the etiquette is thorough." Then I hope that your future colt will be a strong and powerful right, but don't insult you, the royal princess. ”

Bengong saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said before Yongtai got angry: "Hey, didn't you talk about the marriage of Bengong, why did you talk about your own? Sisters, don't worry, when my brother and I marry the crown princess, the happy events in the palace will be all yours, ah, I must be your dowry giver at that time, such a good errand, I can't let Huaixian rob them. But now, we still have to take care of the marriage of the palace first. Bengong smiled at the concubine and said, "Mother, are you right?"

"You are the least ashamed," said the concubine, "and others will avoid it when they hear about their marriage, so why do you ask after them?"

"I'm an idiot. Bengong smiled and said, "Mother, what are you talking about, how is the selection of the crown princess?"

The mother concubine smiled: "It's still early, it's only early July, what's the hurry? Don't worry, I'll set it for you at the end of the year, and I'll be hired as soon as next spring." There are already a few good candidates here in this palace, all of them are girls from good families, and they have good temperaments, if everything goes well, you will be able to meet your future crown princess at the year-end banquet this year. ”

Hongu clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great!"

The mother shook her head and sighed because she laughed: "Look at it, if you want your daughter-in-law to be like this, if the princess enters the door in the future, won't she immediately forget about the mother concubine of this palace?"

Yongan chuckled: "Brother Prince is the most filial, and he can't think about it." ”

Bengong was pleased: "It's still Yong'an's most intimate." ”

Yongtai pursed his lips and did not speak.

Qinghe slowly walked out of his seat, and Ying Ying bowed: "Thank you for the teachings of the imperial concubine today, Qinghe has benefited a lot." ”

Taiping reluctantly followed Qinghe, and also bowed down: "Thank you to the imperial concubine." ”

The mother concubine smiled and narrowed her eyes: "You two children are also very capable, and you have helped the palace a lot." The seating arrangements for the Momiji Banquet are thanks to you. ”

"The mother praised it falsely. "Qinghe Road," the hour was not early, and he didn't dare to disturb the reunion between Niangniang and the prince's mother and son, and Qinghe Taiping retired first. ”

The mother said, "Good boy, go." Say hello to your mother and concubine for this palace. ”

Qinghe thanked him and led Taiping out.

Yongtai Yongan didn't want to stay long, so they went out together.

The mother concubine smiled and sent them out of the palace, then turned her head to the palace and said, "Now everyone is clean, what do you little naughty have to ask your mother, now ask quickly." ”

Bengong said weakly: "What is the mother talking about, can't the son stay longer?"

The mother shook her head with a smile and said, "Your mother is not young anymore, but her eyes are still clear." You have always been unable to sit still, but today you are willing to talk with us for a long time, you must have something to say. Just now you gestured to Qinghe to ask them to go first, right? That is, you have something to ask your mother alone. ”

Bengong was even more embarrassed at this time, so he had to get up and confess: "The mother is smart and decisive, but the son is reckless." Mother forgive her son. ”

The mother concubine said: "You and my mother and son, why do you need to be like this." Whispering between mother and son is supposed to be. She thought for a while, and then said, "It's rare that Sister Qinghe is close to you, and even I almost didn't pay attention to your subtle movements, but she can pay attention to them." ”

"The son just wants to ask about Sister Qinghe," Bengong said, "Mother has ever seen Ji Fufeng, the son of the right prime minister's family, at the year-end banquet of the third year of the Apocalypse?"

"Ji Fufeng?" the concubine thought for a while, "You said Ji Xiang?"

"Oh yes, that's him. Bengong didn't notice it for a while, and forgot to mention Ji Fufeng's real name, "It's my praiser." ”

"Hongu has seen it. The kid was well-behaved and had the demeanor of everyone. Choose him to be your praiser, and this palace is very relieved. What, what does he have to do with Qinghe?"

"It's not that there is anything to do with it," Bengong said, "In the morning, my son met Ji Xiang, and he said that the year-end banquet he attended in Yingshui Pavilion in the third year of the Apocalypse, and his son remembered that in the third year of the Apocalypse, his son and Sister Qinghe and other sisters were also in Yingshui Pavilion, why didn't he seem to have seen him?"

The concubine smiled slightly: "There are many people at the tail banquet, and you should not see him for a while." In the third year of the Apocalypse, there was a fire in Yingshui Pavilion, and everyone at the end of the banquet was frightened and withdrew from the banquet in advance, probably because the scene was too chaotic, so it was not seen. ”

"I said," Hongu said, "Seeing that Ji Fufeng looked like he was falling down in the wind, he must have been frightened and quit early at that time." ”

The mother frowned when she heard this: "Ji Xiang is frail?"

Hongu wondered, "Ahh

The mother said: "I only took over the palace ceremony since the death of Empress Xiaoyi at the beginning of this year, and the affairs are complicated, and the Ji family was only a second-class in the past, and I didn't pay much attention to it." Whether Ji Xiang participated in the four palace banquets from the first year of the Apocalypse to last year will not be known until I go to find out the banquet book. But what does this matter have to do with Qinghe?"

Today, Ji Xiang mentioned that he already has a heart, and his son suspects that it is Sister Qinghe. ”

The concubine looked out the window, the four princesses had already walked away, turned her head and said to the palace: "The reputation of the daughter's family is the most important, if you are not completely sure, don't be presumptuous." ”

Bengong was embarrassed: "Originally, who he liked was really none of his son's business. But if it's really Sister Qinghe, then this matter will be troublesome. If the right prime minister's family marries Sister Qinghe, this is a good destination for Sister Qinghe. But now that the war in the northwest is tight, the Zhao family has experienced the loss of Empress Xiaoyi and Prince Shen, and the noisy state of power has just been reined in, and the father will definitely not let the Zhao family recover easily at this time, but the Ji family and the Tian family, "The palace glanced at the concubine, and saw that the concubine signaled the palace to continue, so he received, "The Ji family and the Tian family, one has just won the position of the right prime minister, and the other has just won the position of the crown prince, and it is really not possible to continue to add military merits." Then the possibility of harmony this time is very great, and only Qinghe Taiping is the age suitable for harmony in the palace, if the Ji family has the same interests with Qinghe at this time, the matter of harmony will probably fall on the head of Taiping. ”

"Among the sisters, you have the best relationship with Taiping, and you must not want her to marry far away. ”

"If it is possible, the two sisters of Qinghe Taiping, the son hopes that neither of them will have to go to harmony. But this new Rouran Khan is young and impulsive, and his blood is strong, and I am afraid that he cannot be appeased by a clan girl. Rather than be peaceful," Bengong paused for a long time, and finally said ruthlessly, "My son would rather be Qinghe." ”

The mother concubine thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "Maybe these two princesses, neither of them has to marry far away." ”

Hongu Daiki: "Mother has a way?"

"Nope. The mother concubine said, "But your father, the emperor, will not let Qinghe Taiping go to make peace." ”

Bengong was still full of doubts and uneasiness, but no matter how Bengong asked, the mother concubine refused to tell the reason. Bengong had to save some thoughts for the time being, and after retiring from the mother's concubine, he went to chase Qinghe Taiping and the two.
