When Sheng Weiqiao was called over, Old Marquis Xu and the Nan clan had already avoided it, so Old Lady Sheng asked his granddaughter straight to the point: "Your Uncle Tu Shi just came over and said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wuyang thinks you are good, and wants to tell you to her only son Yichunhou, you have met Yichunhou once, what do you think?"

“…… That is, on the last day of the Lantern Festival, I took a few looks at it from afar in the Nightless Pavilion. Sheng Weiqiao didn't expect his grandfather to talk about his marriage yesterday, and today there was a candidate, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "This ...... And I heard that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Wuyang...... It seems that they don't want to get involved in the battle between the Meng clan and the Gaomi King?"

The eldest princess was good at dancing with long sleeves, and she only wanted to be a guest of honor on all sides, but she didn't want to get on any party's boat at all.

And the Sheng family, whether it is with King Gaomi or the Meng family at this time, has a deep relationship?

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wuyang said that our family has raised the son-in-law of King Gaomi, and she is deeply favored by Queen Meng. She felt that as long as our Sheng family stayed out of the matter and didn't help each other, no matter which side won in the future, it should not treat the Sheng family poorly, at least not deliberately suppress the Sheng family. Old lady Sheng said lightly, "And the eldest princess of Wuyang doesn't have the idea of standing in line, so I think it's very suitable for our two families to become in-laws." ”

"Moreover, Yichun Hou has a shortage of fetuses, and he has been weak and sick since he landed, and he only got better at the end of last year. Because of this, he is not very good at studying and practicing martial arts, and his heart is also naïve, and the eldest princess of Wuyang is worried that he will find a wife who is too powerful, and after he goes by himself in the future, Yichun Hou will not be able to suppress it. I like you to be simple, sensible and tame. ”

When Old Lady Sheng said this, she glanced at her granddaughter who was twisting her handkerchief hard, and sighed, "It's not that you should marry right away...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Wuyang is such a son, and she also knows that our family has always loved girls, so she means, let you have more contact next, if you think you are compatible, then you will discuss marriage, if you think it is not suitable, then forget it. ”

After a pause, "You know the friendship between your Uncle Tu Shi and your father, he watched Yichunhou grow up, and just told me that Yichunhou is very good-looking, and he is generous, although his health is indeed a little poor in his early years, but since the end of last year, because of the diagnosis and treatment of an apricot forest master when he was looking for the first emperor, he has gradually recovered, and Shouyuan should not need to worry about it." ”

Sheng Weiqiao heard that the old lady was more in favor of this family business, and in fact, she was sixteen years old, and she should really consider the issue of marriage.

It's just that I'm listening to it now, but I really don't want to answer.

"Are you thinking of He'er?" she was silent, but Old Lady Sheng took the initiative to ask, "Yesterday you said that you didn't like him, it seems that it is not true?"

"I ......" Sheng Weiqiao bit his lip, wanting to justify, but felt that he couldn't talk about it.

Then I heard the old lady sigh faintly and said, "Child, He'er is indeed a good person, if you have talent, you must be good-looking, and you are willing to tolerate your petty nature...... But have you thought about it? Since his true life story was revealed, his future has been tied to King Gaomi! As King Gaomi's own flesh and blood, or his son-in-law, if King Gaomi fails, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to escape a bleak end...... Even the better it is, the better it will not end!"

"Even if King Gaomi wins, King Gaomi is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, who doesn't know that the first emperor originally wanted to make him the prince?

"Once the Meng clan falls, King Gaomi will inevitably ascend the throne as emperor!"

"At that time, He'er will be the prince...... But don't think it's a good thing that he's a prince!"

"Although he is the son-in-law but not the eldest son, he is still talented, the twenty-year-old champion, how many are there throughout the ages? At this time, his first two brothers may still be happy about the return of their brothers, but since ancient times, there is no family affection, once the Gaomi King practices Zuo, do you think the current Gaomi Wang's son, the future prince, will rest assured that there is such a talented brother in his prime?!"

"He'er can't be calm in this life no matter what!"

"If you are your aunt's unwilling character, and you also have your aunt's skills and ability, grandfather and I will take the face of your grandmother and pull the Sheng family to gamble with you! But if you look at yourself, can you adapt to this kind of life of intrigue and intrigue for a long time?"

"Marriage is not Qingqing me and me, this point depends on your little aunt is an example: when she secretly interacted with your little uncle without hiding from the family, wouldn't it be a good honey to mix oil, you and me? Otherwise, she was as old as you at that time, and she would not know what kind of spurning she would receive if she eloped with someone when she already had a family affair? If it weren't for your little uncle who was so good that she couldn't be separated, how could she have just walked away and lost the face of my Sheng family?!"

"But do you see how many days of good life she has had after she gets married?!"

"Grandfather is only afraid that you will be thinking about He'er at this time, and you will regret it if you really get married...... At that time, even if we will definitely support you to live a happy life and leave, but the Gaomi Palace's power is great, what if He'er doesn't agree?"

Even if he agreed...... You said that you are good, why do you want to toss like this?"

Old lady Sheng said this bitterly, seeing that her granddaughter just bowed her head and said nothing, she slowed down her tone again, and continued, "You have been growing up in Nanfeng County before, and there are no outstanding talents in small places, but He'er is an outstanding talent at the feet of the Son of Heaven like Chang'an, and he still tolerates and maintains you, no wonder you like him." ”

"It's just Qiao'er, you've grown so big, you've only seen a few outstanding men?"

"How do you know that you really like him when you are so focused on identifying him and refusing to make contact with other men? Perhaps, in fact, you have seen too few talents before, and what you think you like him is actually just appreciation. In this case, will you have to regret it in the future?"

"So why don't you meet with someone like Yichunhou, go back and ask yourself, do you really like He'er, and do you like it enough to be willing to endure the days when you have to hide a bunch of eyes for him?!"

"You've figured it out, if you still want to marry a crane......"

The old lady stroked her beard under her chin and sighed, "Your grandmother is just your own granddaughter...... Your father and mother have always regarded you as a jewel, and we want to help you no matter what you want!"

When his grandfather said this, Sheng Weiqiao felt that he couldn't be silent anymore, so he had to say: "It's all up to my grandfather!"

She didn't know that not long after she left, Old Lady Sheng sat alone in the hall for a meeting and called Lao Zheng to her: "Princess Gaomi once said before, even if it is broken bones, you must repay the kindness of my Sheng family...... You will take my name post later, go to the back door of the Gaomi Palace, and ask the disciple to help ask the princess if what she said counts?"

Gaomi Palace, backyard.

In the Xiangji Hall where the princess lives, there are red, red, white and white petals on the mossy courtyard bricks, and the peach blossoms on the east side and the pear blossoms on the west side are blown into a rain of flowers by the soft wind in early April, and they take a free rest after the delicate and powerless in front of the steps.

Under the cloister of the cornices, the ice crack lattice sash window is half opened, revealing a shallow grass green sprinkled with bat patterns and a colorful spike brocade tent with entwined grapes.

Princess Gaomi, who was half-lying and half-leaning under the tent, handed the empty medicine bowl to the Qi family, and then took the handkerchief handed by her confidant Aunt Zhao and pressed the corner of her mouth, thoughtfully: "The old lady of the Sheng family sent someone to come...... Do you want me to find a wife for Crane quickly, and you can't let Crane know that's what he means?"

Qi handed the bowl to the maid and took it down, leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "Yes! The daughter-in-law originally wanted someone to come and tell the concubine herself, so it is easy to ask for details." But the man said that the old lady of the Sheng family had confessed, and this matter must be hidden from the third brother, so he couldn't enter the inner courtyard, lest the third brother know!"

"He'er is also twenty years old this year, even if the old lady of the Sheng family doesn't mention it, my body is a little better, and I will definitely have to do this lifelong event for him. Princess Gaomi frowned, "So the old lady specially sent someone to run this trip, and she also mysteriously wanted to hide it from He'er...... What's the reason for this?"

The man said these words over and over again, and the other daughters-in-law asked again and again, but he was silent. Qi Shi hurriedly said, "It's all the daughter-in-law who is incompetent, and she couldn't ask the ins and outs, so that the concubine was distracted!"

Just suggested, "Or, the daughter-in-law and others will send someone to Ningweihou's Mansion to ask clearly?"

"Nope. Princess Gaomi shook her head resolutely, "The Sheng family is kind to He'er, that is my great benefactor! That old lady is a reasonable person, since he didn't say anything when he sent someone over, it can be seen that either he expects us to know it tacitly, or he just doesn't want to say more." If you send someone over to get to the bottom of it now, won't you become a favor and a general who will take revenge and oppress people with power?!"

Qi immediately pleaded guilty: "It's the daughter-in-law who didn't think about it!"

Princess Gaomi was still very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law, and she would not worry about such a matter, she shook her head and said that she didn't care, and after thinking about it, she said: "Didn't the people who went to Nanfeng County before say that the Sheng family counted this old lady as the most fond of He'er? After all, since the Sheng family regards He'er as their own, he still doesn't marry him when he is twenty years old, obviously in order to marry a higher family in Chang'an after he finishes the palace examination. ”

"So, didn't the old lady hear that I hired a doctor yesterday...... So I'm afraid I'll delay He'er's lifelong event?"

Princess Gaomi is the biological mother of Sheng Sleeping Crane, and now Sheng Sleeping Crane has been taken back to the palace after crossing the bright road, once she has three long and two short, three years of internal worries, Sheng Sleeping Crane's marriage will be postponed?

Qi and Aunt Zhao's faces changed when they heard this: "This old lady! Are you really old and confused? You are just angry for a while! Imperial Doctor Dong has said, as long as you take care of it well, your good life will be long!"

"This can't be blamed on the old lady, I personally said in front of him that time is running out, and he also cares about He'er to do this. Princess Gaomi was pleased, "I, who am not qualified as a mother concubine, have been living abroad for so many years, and I am glad that this child is blessed with a great life and meets a good person like the Sheng family." Now that he is back, the old lady of the Sheng family still cares about him so much, it can be seen that he really loves him!"

"So I'm grateful that this old lady can't come too late, how can I blame him for cursing me for not living long? After all, if it weren't for He'er's return, I would really be impatient to continue living!"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao thought of Princess Gaomi's suffering over the years, her eyes turned red, and she didn't say that Old Lady Sheng was wrong, but only choked up slightly: "Those are all over, the princess should look forward!"

"You go and check the jewelry that I am marrying, as well as the four treasures of the study, according to the number of people in the Xu family of the Sheng family, from the old to the young, prepare a gift, and send it to the Ningwei Hou Mansion in person. Princess Gaomi nodded and explained to the Qi family, "When I saw Old Lady Sheng, I told him that I understand his kindness, and I will arrange the marriage for He'er as soon as possible." ”

Qi agreed, and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law can't wait for her younger brother and sister to enter the door and take a hand, our huge palace, there are so many things up and down every day, and the daughter-in-law is often too busy to do it alone!

"You are the eldest daughter-in-law in the end, even if the crane daughter-in-law enters the door in the future, everything will be handled by you after all, and the crane daughter-in-law will at most take a hand when you are too busy. Princess Gaomi knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was deliberately flattering, and said with a smile, "You can't be lazy, otherwise I'm so bone-inspired, and now I want to help you with powerless, if you don't be diligent, you won't be able to live the days of this huge palace!"

Qi Shi heard what the princess meant, and she would not give Sheng Sleeping Crane's wife a bias because she loved Sheng Sleeping Crane, which made her eldest daughter-in-law embarrassed, and her smile became more and more supple: "Mother concubine, rest assured, daughter-in-law must do things well, and be filial to you and your father with the future third brother and sister!"

Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed, and the next day, the Qi family personally brought gifts to the Ningwei Marquis Mansion and conveyed Princess Gaomi's reply to the old lady Sheng.

Old lady Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, but in order to avoid accidents, he still hurried to contact Tu Ruchuan, so the news soon spread from the mansion of the eldest princess of Wuyang: three days later, the eldest princess will hold a flower-viewing banquet in the mansion, and send out invitations all over the young men and women from the official palace of Chang'an to come to the gathering.
