The fifth, 19th back, dreaming of the soul, that tube of thousands of years

There was a rush of footsteps in the snow, and then, an umbrella was placed over his head, blocking the snowflakes falling in front of him.

"Jieshu, what are you doing?" the man said distressedly and anxiously: "With such a heavy snowfall, you are freezing outside like this, can you feel at ease to get sick? If you have any accidents, how can the mother concubine survive?"

The little prince smiled faintly, and read softly: "I want to be a thousand miles away and laugh at life and death, and I think about the soul that is in charge of a thousand autumns!" He turned his head to face her, "Mother, don't worry so much, I'm just thinking about something here, what will happen?"

The princess wore a big furry fox fur cape, with a warm pocket around her head, and a maid held a large oil-paper umbrella for her, and covered the little prince under the umbrella, and seven or eight maids followed with umbrellas.

The princess frowned, dusted the snow particles on the little prince's head and clothes, and said, "Why bother standing in this cold and wet place, and such a big snow, alas! The girls say that you have been standing for a long time," she sighed, and said helplessly, "What do you want? Don't let the mother worry so much about you." ”

The little prince smiled: "Mother, I'm fine." Two or three maids hurriedly came forward to serve the little prince and put on a gray squirrel fur cloak.

The princess touched his cold face and was distressed: "I still said it's okay, this face is frozen." She took his hand, "This hand is also cold, hurry up and follow me back to the house." She pulled him away, rubbing his hands and breathing at him constantly, and counting his subordinates, "The people who are with you don't care about you, let you mess around, Mother Tang doesn't persuade you, and the moon shadow is getting bigger and bigger, and she doesn't care about anything, so you can wear so little and stand in the wind and snow." ”

"Mother," the little prince broke free of his hand, rubbing his hands against each other: "I'll do it myself," and excused the girls, "Moon Shadow is very dedicated, I want to see the snow myself, don't blame them." ”

The princess shook her head, knowing that he was taking care of the girls, smiled helplessly, and said, "You can accompany the concubine to chat." As he spoke, he dragged him back to the princess's room, and let people pour boiling tea, and then drank a cup of tea, and the word came from outside: "The prince has returned home!"

The princess and the little prince hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

Prince Gong had already arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, saw their mother and son, and hurriedly said, "Don't come out, the snow is very heavy." ”

The princess and the little prince still stood at the door to greet him, Prince Gong entered the room, the princess and the maids were busy waiting for him to change into court clothes, and washed his hands and face with hot water, and he was busy for a while, he sat on the warm couch, hugged a small copper stove on his lap, and smiled to the princess: "It's still warm here, you can also sit down, and let the girls clean up." ”

The princess personally walked up to Prince Gong with a cup of tea, put it on the table next to him, and said with a smile: "Lord, this is your favorite hairy tip." ”

Prince Gong took a sip of tea, and when he looked up to put the teacup down, he saw the little prince sitting silently on the chair on the side, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Jieshu, you have been back for more than ten days, and you haven't gone to greet the emperor again? The emperor still asks you how you are today? I miss you very much?"

"Yes. The little prince replied listlessly.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Prince Gong couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?

"No, no. The little prince hurriedly said: "The child is very good, father, has the emperor summoned the child?"

"No," Prince Gong said, "The emperor said that although he wants to see you very much, if you are gone for a few months, your mother must miss you too much, so let you and your mother get together for a few more days, and then go to see the emperor when you are free in a few days." ”

The princess smiled: "Just now, his seventh sister sent someone to invite Jieshu to her house tomorrow." ”

"I don't want to go. The little prince said immediately.

"How?" said the princess, "you must go." ”

Prince Gong smiled: "Go for a walk, don't be bored at home." ”

"Father," the little prince frowned and said: "How can I be bored, these days, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister, the sixth sister, and the seventh sister, they take turns to come home, either to say this or that, I have been dizzy by them." I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. ”

"But," said the princess, "your seventh sister also has a deep meaning in inviting you to go, she wants to ......"

"Cough!" Prince Gong coughed and interrupted the princess's words: "Princess, don't say anything, Jieshu will have his own opinions." Jieshu," he turned to the little prince again, "You and Wenxiong are such good friends, how can you not go, if you are not comfortable, you should leave early." ”

It turned out that the seventh sister of the little prince was married to the Chen family, the prince of Zhenguo. This ancestor of the Chen family, Shangyuan, was also a general who led the troops to fight, and was awarded the title of first-class duke because of his outstanding military achievements. Now the lord of the Zhenguo Mansion is the third generation, and the seventh brother-in-law of the little prince, Chen Wenxiong, is the fourth generation of only sons.

Chen Wenxiong has been married for five years, and his wife is Yi Pei, the seventh sister of the little prince, who has given birth to two sons for the Chen family. The Chen family also has two other young ladies, named Yumei and Yulan, who are sixteen and fourteen years old. Speaking of these two Miss Chen, they are really famous in the capital.

Although the ancestors of the Chen family were rough people, when Chen Wenxiong's grandfather arrived, he attached great importance to the cultural etiquette of his children, and was very strict with his children's family education, and the descendants of the Chen family were also quite ambitious and outstanding. Therefore, the two young ladies of the Chen family are not only beautiful and moving, but also can handle poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrity cooking, and they are no worse than others.

Think about it, how many princes and nobles, officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital, beautiful and moving, knowledgeable and courteous abound, their two sisters can dominate and win the title of "Meilan Shuangshu", you know how great it is.

Therefore, in the capital, all those princes, nobles, officials, wealthy businessmen, and those who have children and nephews don't want to marry one of these two concubines home.

Therefore, Yi Pei, the seventh sister of the little prince, also hopes that her younger brother can marry one of these two sisters. She wholeheartedly talked about this matter, the little prince has only been back in the capital for more than ten days, and she has returned to her parents' home three times. Yesterday, she returned to her parents' house and discussed with her mother and the princess for a long time, thinking that the only way to do this was to let the little prince go to Chen's house.

Because the Chen sisters can't go out casually, even if they are relatives, they can only go to festivals and events, and the sister-in-law can only go to a banquet at home, of course, she can invite her sister-in-law to accompany her.

The princess knew the eldest lady of the Chen family because of Yi Pei's relationship, and she had seen her many times, and she liked her very much, she was very satisfied with her, and she was willing to marry the Chen family again.

This time Yi Pei repeatedly mentioned this matter, although the princess had told Yi Pei about Jie Shu's request for her father to personally ask the Nangong family to marry, but Yi Pei thought that how could she be married for life with only one side, not to mention that the little prince had seen the two Miss Chen many times before, and they were more familiar with each other, and the little prince had a very good impression of the two Miss Chen, so Yi Pei was very confident.
