Princess Changning naturally knew the customary rules, and said tactfully: "Niangniang also knows that I have a daughter who is still gone, so I cherish my granddaughter very much, and Hui Niang is married into the palace, I want to ask Niang Niang to ask for a wishful makeup, it is also Hui Niang's decency, and she will not be looked down upon when she comes to her in-law's family in the future." ”

The queen put her mind at ease and agreed, "Chang Ning rest assured, I will send makeup over at that time, not to mention whether there is any wish, Hui Niang is also the blood of the Zhou family, which one can be taken lightly? I think Chang Ning is too worried." ”

Princess Chang Ning smiled, where did she just ask for makeup at this time, just to find a topic of marriage so that she could ask for information she wanted to know.

Seeing that the princess had no intention of being titled, the queen happily asked how the dowry was prepared, when she brought Hui Niang into the palace, and what she gave Hui Niang's head or something.

Princess Changning pretended to be casual and asked, "Niangniang, the little seventh daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right? ”

The queen said: "That is, this month, Xiao Qi is now guarding the palace and not going anywhere, even if his grandfather came to Beijing, he went out to meet and hurried back." ”

Princess Chang Ning said with a smile: "Xiao Qi is loyal, I think in this palace, Concubine Jiang Shu's mother and son are still solid people, and they can also help the mother and the prince." ”

The queen smiled, took a sip of tea, didn't answer the princess's words, and beckoned the princess to taste the tea made by the new recipe given by Xiaoba, Chang Ning didn't talk about the seventh prince when she saw this, and asked about the eighth prince on this topic, "Niangniang, this Xiaoqi is going to have two children, Xiaoba should be in a hurry, right?" Last time I told Niangniang, some of the little ladies that Hui Niang often comes and goes with are good, and I also help inquire about Beppu, why don't I hold a flower party for Hui Niang, invite more little ladies from all the mansions to come, let Xiao Ba secretly look at it, which one he likes, and it is good to set it for him, Xiao Ba has passed nineteen, not to mention the royal family, it is the people's family, and some nineteen are fathers. ”

The queen put down the teacup and said apologetically: "I've always wanted to tell you about this, I haven't seen you enter the palace recently, but Xiaoba I asked him, he said that he liked it, and he would wait for a while. Chang Ning, I'm still bothering you to worry about this, but now it's not good to look at the little lady in Beppu. ”

Princess Chang Ning was a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she asked with relief and curiosity: "Which lady is it?"

The queen said helplessly: "Xiaoba didn't say anything, and asked him to keep it secret, what to say until half a year, the emperor can't cry or laugh, which little lady in the house?

Princess Changning contacted the eighth prince who loved to go out of the palace to watch the play, so she reminded: "Don't be a serious person, our royal family, even the side room, are also the daughters of several officials, if you come to the palace in a mess, it will be a mess." ”

The queen was happy, so she guessed herself, it is estimated that the little lady on the shelf went to the incense, so that the eighth prince in Panyun Temple was remembered, maybe he was still young, so he said to wait.

Princess Changning also laughed, regretting in her heart, this eighth nephew is the safest of the princes, marrying him, the glory and wealth of his life are gone, it's a pity.

The queen also chatted with the princess about some things about the ladies of various palaces outside the palace, the princess paid attention to the few families that the queen asked, and tried to say something she knew, and when she got out of the palace, Princess Changning had a headache, because the queen said a word of please, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Xie Ergu to come to Beijing, and now it seems that it is not good to mention it again, but how to say this to Mrs. Xie Ergu, if we meet, it will not be another matter, this mention is not commissioned, and it also makes the princess embarrassed.

After Princess Changning left, the eighth prince came to greet the queen, and when he went in, he saw the queen mother sitting and pondering, and the eighth prince approached and asked, "Queen mother, isn't it uncomfortable?"

Seeing that it was the eighth prince, the queen smiled and said: "Xiaoba is here, the queen mother is not uncomfortable, your aunt Changning has just left, and the queen mother is thinking about something." ”

The eighth prince saw that it was not the queen mother's body that was unwell, so he sighed, sat down, took out a Buddhist scripture and handed it to the queen, and said: "Queen mother, this is the Buddhist scripture that the son copied in the temple. ”

The queen took the Buddhist scriptures, thinking about the eight princes' current mouthful of masters and masters, the emperor's annoyed appearance was funny, and the father and son were often annoyed by the jokes of the master and apprentice.

After flipping through a few pages, the queen put down the Buddhist scriptures and said to the eighth prince: "The queen mother entrusted the blessing of Xiaoba, and I will also copy a copy for your father when the time comes, so as not to see that only I have it, and your father should be unhappy." ”

The eighth prince patted his chest and said, "Let it go, I'll send it to my father in a while, how can I forget my father's share?" Last time, my son saw that there was bean paste in his heart, so he didn't send it to his father, just because the son forgot his father, but the son remembered that his father didn't like to eat bean paste filling?"

The queen smiled: "Whether to eat or not is your father's business, whether to send it or not is your filial piety as a son, and your father is because of this to nag you." ”

The eighth prince shook his head and said: "I really don't understand my father's heart, I sent my father a bonsai in Panyun Temple last time, but my father said that he couldn't smell the flowers, so I didn't send it, so my son thought, my father doesn't eat bean paste stuffing, and it's superfluous to send it, maybe my father will say: I don't even remember what my father doesn't like to eat, and it's not filial piety to raise children." The queen mother thinks about it, it's the son's fault what she does, isn't it?"

The queen is straight, the emperor is just joking with the eighth prince, a few princes, and the eighth prince is so unrestrained that he can fight with the emperor and joke about it, and everything else is well-behaved and one-eyed.

The queen asked curiously about the little lady who went to the incense, and asked if the eighth prince could still meet the little lady in Panyun Temple now?

The eighth prince sighed melancholy, saying that he couldn't see the beautiful woman, and he was full of thoughts, so he could only wait slowly. This made the queen think that she was a little lady who did not reach the time, the queen was worried, and so on, in the marriage, ready for a year and a half, the little eighty into the family will be more than twenty, the little lady is too young, and the production is troublesome.

The queen tentatively asked which little lady it was, and told the queen mother that the queen mother should go and investigate, in case someone is married?

A word to wake up the people, the eighth prince just thinks that people are in the nunnery, and there will be no relatives, but what if the house secretly says that the people are good?

Thinking about it this way, the eighth prince couldn't sit still, and pretended to be serious and told the queen that he promised to marry a serious little lady, gentle and graceful, and would definitely honor the queen mother, etc., and then let the queen mother help herself to propose, the queen listened with a smile, guessing which little lady in the house could make the eighth prince pay so much attention, how to ask the eighth prince and didn't say, so he had to joke that he didn't care, the emperor agreed.

The eighth prince didn't go to send Buddhist scriptures to the emperor after hearing this, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the queen and ran back to his palace, sat down, and thought of a perfect solution.
