The emperor was very satisfied with Jing Rui, and he called Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er, as well as the five princesses, to the imperial study.

The emperor didn't beat around the bush when he spoke: "Xiao'er, your mother's brother is rich and has five cars, and he is a talent, which is very good, I like it very much." What do you think of his temper?"

Xiao'er replied with a smile: "The daughter-in-law praises the eldest brother Xie Father." The eldest brother has a very good temper, and he has never seen him blush at anyone for so many years. ”

Shangguan Xuanyi couldn't help but slander when he heard this: It's true that he didn't blush, but he always showed himself with a black face before he got married!

"Fifth princess, have you ever met the brother of your sixth sister-in-law. The emperor was even more satisfied when he heard this, and he turned his head and asked his daughter.

"Count the faces. The fifth princess said lightly.

"What do you think of him?" The emperor looked at the fifth princess, not missing any change in expression on her face.

The three people present chuckled in their hearts, it couldn't be what they thought, right? The fifth princess is bigger than Jing Rui, and she is almost ten years older!

How dare the emperor think!

"Not how. ”

"I plan to make him your concubine, what do you think?" the emperor looked at the three of them.

The fifth princess frowned when she heard this: "Father, Shen Gongzi seems to be eighteen years old! And this princess is more than twenty years old, and she is almost thirty years old, does my father want my old cow to eat tender grass?"

"What old cow eats tender grass! If you want to eat it, it is also a young cow that eats old grass! Age is not a problem, the female junior holds the gold brick! As long as you like each other, I will give you a marriage. Xiao'er, how about you go back and find out your brother's tone?"

The young cow ate the old grass, and the three of them were thundered.

"I don't want to! I'm going to be a mother!"

Xiao'er hurriedly said: "Back to my father, my brother has already decided to marry." ”

"It's already married!" the emperor was disappointed when he heard this.

He glared at the fifth princess with hatred: "Look at it, good men have been picked up, I see who you want to marry in the future!"

"I won't marry anyone! If my father is fine, my son will retire. After saying this, the fifth princess was blessed and retreated.

The emperor was angry enough, but he couldn't help her, mainly because he didn't want to wronged his only daughter.

The emperor said to Xiao'er: "Xiao'er, you have time to persuade the princess, don't be willful." ”

Xiao'er responded to it.

The emperor discussed with the two of them about their going to the fiefdom, and asked them to retreat.

Out of the imperial study, Xiao'er said to Shangguan Xuanyi: "My father scared me just now, it seems that I have to remind my eldest brother to get married as soon as possible, it is really people who are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of fat." ”

"Don't worry, my father is not the kind of person who forces people. Shangguan Xuanyi comforted.

"Father is not, what if the emperor's grandmother has a whim?"

Sometimes the Queen Mother is really quite unreasonable! Shangguan Xuanyi heard this and said, "It's better to get married early." ”

"The fifth princess doesn't know what kind of man she can look at. "It's just not oil and salt!

"Once the sea was difficult to water. ”

"Is that prince of Zhenguo really so good?" Xiao'er couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard this.

"Young heroes, peerless, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talents. Shangguan Xuanyi sighed.

"It's a pity. Xiao'er learned from Shangguan Xuanyi's tone and sighed: "Let's take the imperial sister with us when we leave the imperial capital! ”

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "Okay, but she shouldn't go." ”

"I'm going to talk to her. After Xiao'er finished speaking, she turned around and went to the princess's courtyard, Shangguan Xuanyi thought about it and didn't follow her, just waiting for her in the imperial garden.

When Xiao'er found the fifth princess, the fifth princess was holding a tassel in her hand, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

At first glance, you can see that it is an old thing, and the color on it has turned white.

"Five princesses. Xiao'er said.

The fifth princess quickly stuffed the tassel into her arms: "Sixth imperial sister-in-law." ”

"Xuanyi and I are about to go to the fiefdom, we are going to travel all the way to the mountains and rivers, do you want to go with us?"

"I'm not going. Recently, she has always dreamed that Brother Jiang is back, she feels that he is coming back, and she must stay in the imperial capital city and wait for him.

"Or you can go to the place where Jiang Gongzi had an accident, maybe you can find him. Since the fifth princess felt that Jiang Yuheng was not dead, Xiao'er could only use this method to coax her.

The fifth princess's heart moved when she heard this, but when she thought of that dream, she still shook her head: "No need, if he comes back, I am not in the imperial capital, and we will see each other later." ”

Xiao'er: "......"

"Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law, I know your kindness, but no matter what you say, I will not leave. "Resolute.

Xiao'er left dejectedly.

After leaving the palace, Xiao'er went back to her parents' house.

Xiao'er didn't tell the people in her mother's family that the emperor intended to recruit Jingrui as the concubine of the fifth princess.

She just reminded Liu that Jing Rui had already won the top prize, and his family affairs should also be put on the agenda.

Liu also wanted to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, but Jing Rui said that the imperial court would arrange a position for him, and he didn't know when the appointment documents would be issued.

Liu felt that it made sense, so he picked a few days for the coming year, and the family discussed it, and set a day after the autumn harvest, so they wrote to the Zhu family and asked for the Zhu family's opinion.

The Zhu family in Shengping County, the family was very happy when they knew that Jing Hao had become the champion, and Zhu Yan was also full of joy, but Mrs. Zhu was worried about whether the Shengping Hou Mansion would get married.

"Yan'er, Jing Rui has become the champion. Do you think the Shengping Marquis Mansion will quit?"

Zhu Yan was looking at the account book, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at his mother: "My mother is too worried, the Hou Mansion is already rich enough, Shen Gongzi will be the son of the world in the future, and his high school champion is just the icing on the cake, he didn't dislike our family and me before, and now I won't easily withdraw from my family." ”

Mrs. Zhu was slightly relieved when she heard this: "Why don't we write and ask when we will get married?" Now that your father's health is better, and your eldest brother has also been admitted to the Jinshi, you don't have to worry about family affairs." ”

Zhu Yan frowned when he heard this: "Mother, the days are all chosen by the man, you don't have to be in a hurry, I said at that time that I would wait for Shen Gongzi to get married after the Spring Examination, and I think there should be a letter from the imperial capital." ”

Zhu Yan believes that Shen Jingrui is not that kind of person, and the Shen family is not that kind of family.

Sure enough, two days later, Mrs. Zhu received a letter from the Shengping Marquis Mansion, and she was very happy after reading the content of the letter: "The Shengping Marquis Mansion said that the day of your marriage with Shen Gongzi will be set after the harvest next autumn, what do you think?"

After the autumn harvest next year, there will be more than a year to do so, and Zhu Yan feels that it is just right: "This time is good." ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she said, "Then you hurry up and write back to them, and we should also prepare a dowry." ”

"Good. ”
