When Ji Xuanyuan came over in the evening, An Sui was wearing a water-blue bedrobe and half-leaning on the couch with his hair that had been scattered, and Shuer shrunk into An Sui's arms, as if he was already asleep.

Huai Yang saw that Ji Xuanyuan was coming, saluted silently, and then hurriedly carried Shuer away.

An Sui sent Shuer to her residence, and then turned around and asked Ji Xuanyuan, "You seem to be very preoccupied today." ”

Ji Xuanyuan sighed lightly, took off his coat, lay down on the couch, patted the vacant seat beside him, and motioned for An Sui to sleep, "Guess what I'm thinking about in my heart?" ”

"What is there to guess, it is nothing more than the matter of the crown princess, and if there is, it is the matter of Shure's concubine."

Ji Xuanyuan sighed softly, "It's you who understand me best, but I don't know why I suddenly feel that we are all old, and the children are going to get married." In a few years, we will all be grandfathers and grandmothers. ”

Ji Xuanyuan is also thirty-four years old, so it is indeed a bit of a thrilling feeling of time rushing.

"Did the prince tell you anything?"

Ji Xuanyuan nodded, "You also know which girl Leli has a crush on!" Did he tell you? ”

"He didn't say it himself, but Shure was smart and clear-sighted, and he saw through it at a glance, and I only knew it." An Sui listened to Ji Xuanyuan's tone, and after a little thought, it became a little clear, "Is the emperor jealous of the queen's control of the crown prince?" ”

When Ji Xuanyuan was still the crown prince, the Yan family and the Zheng family were the forces behind them, but on the other hand, Ji Xuanyuan was also controlled by these two forces at the same time, and the Zongzheng family was the third force that he won over through marriage to balance the Zheng family and the Yan family. Ji Xuanyuan is a person from the past, and he is deeply affected by the disputes and disputes between the interests of the family forces, so he naturally does not want the prince to repeat his old path in the future, whether it is the forces of the DPRK and China, or the forces of foreign relatives.

Ji Xuanyuan nodded, "The queen's heart has really grown bigger and bigger over the years, since she has become the queen, the Zongzheng family will be honored both in my dynasty and after Leli ascends the throne in the future." Originally, I had already thought that in the future, Shure's marriage would select a suitable talent from the Zongzheng family. The princess married into the Zongzheng family, will they be less indulgent? The more Ji Xuanyuan spoke, the more angry he felt, "She can't wait like this!" ”

When Ji Xuanyuan said this, his right fist slammed on the bed, and An was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took his hand and put it in his hand, rubbing it gently, "Don't be angry, after all, it is also the person the prince likes, and it is not the queen who blames him." Although the queen was not thoughtful this time, she heard that the Zongzheng girl was also a well-behaved character, and since she thought that the prince had seen it and liked it, she should be a good girl. Putting aside the queen for the time being, in the end, the emotional harmony between the crown prince and the crown princess is the most important. ”

When Ji Xuanyuan smashed his fist down, he already realized that his gaffe was a little scared An Sui, and he calmed down a little, and when he heard An Sui say this, his heart calmed down a little, he was not an irritable person. patted An Sui's shoulder and said with a little apology, "I scared you!" In fact, the daughter of the Zongzheng family, I have also seen it, she knows how to advance and retreat, she is also a good girl, and she is also knowledgeable, if it is not the background of the Zongzheng family, it would not hurt to be a princess. ”

"Then what do you mean," An Sui asked, "Is it ...... the prince not to be allowed to ...... with her?" ”

If Ji Xuanyuan doesn't allow it, I'm afraid that the prince will always feel a little unhappy in his heart, although An Sui is only the prince's teacher, but in terms of a certain Cheng dù, An Sui is almost half of the prince's adoptive mother. After An Sui lost his child, he treated Shure and Leli as his own children.

"Leli, this kid came to tell me personally, can I still bear to beat the mandarin duck? These children of mine, namely Leli, are really similar to me when I was younger, and they have not asked me for anything over the years. Now that he has spoken, I can't refuse it, but the position of the crown princess is not good, and it is okay to have a side concubine. ”

It's good that Ji Xuanyuan is willing to let go, and An Sui relieved a little bit of his heart.

Ji Xuanyuan looked at the change in An Sui's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this Zongzheng Yangxuan is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he also knows how to advance and retreat, but it may also be because he knows too much about advance and retreat, which always makes Ji Xuanyuan feel that her eyebrows and eyes are full of calculations. The prince is still young, and due to emotional reasons, he may not be able to see this relationship clearly. An Sui has never seen Zongzheng Yangxuan, so naturally he takes the prince's preferences as the top, and the queen is a matchmaker, and no one reminds the prince.

Thinking of this, Ji Xuanyuan was even more angry with the queen, and he could bet on his emotions for the sake of power.

But angry is angry, and the matter of the crown princess still has to be resolved. Not to mention that there is a Shure after him. Now Shure is also sixteen years old, and the marriage age of Da Chu's women ranges from thirteen to twenty years old, and it is indeed almost time to consider marriage at this age.

Ji Xuanyuan and An Sui finished discussing the matter of the prince, and asked about Shuer's affairs, which meant that he hoped to find a mother-in-law for Shuer earlier.

Shu Er has already said about this matter, when he was still in the palace, the queen and Concubine Xu often laughed at Shu Er about this matter, Shu Er really had a headache when he heard it, and one day he told An Sui as a joke. Starting from the words of the former Queen Mother, she has been talking about Concubine Xu, as well as various ladies in the palace, and even a few lowly ladies who want to say goodbye to her, introducing various nephews and nephews in the family, and so on. I don't know if those men will be gentlemen, and I don't necessarily know that a few of those ladies really want the princess to marry well, and more I am afraid that they want to use the princess to compete for favor and earn a good future for the family.

At the end, Shure also summed up with a sentence, "Anyway, there are still many years before the age of twenty!" Wait until you've had enough to think about it. ”

An Sui smiled, "Shuer is still playful now, if she wants to get married, I'm afraid she won't." What's more, you and I are reluctant to let her marry someone else's family so early. Why don't you let her play for a few more years! ”

Ji Xuanyuan thought of this daughter, and he felt guilty in his heart, when Concubine Zhe was pregnant with her, he couldn't accompany her well, Concubine Zhe died in childbirth, and he couldn't come back to see her. She was also his first child, the first child who made him feel like a father already. So later, when facing this daughter, she was a little more spoiled than ordinary fathers. Looking at the palace, there are also four princesses, but he has not been as accommodating and indulgent as Shure.

"No wonder Shure likes you so much, you dote on her more than the queen. I still remember the first time she saw you, she called your sister when she opened her mouth, and at that time, several concubines also joked, saying that her sister was used by the princess to call her adoptive mother, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy now. You've really become her adoptive mother. Ji Xuanyuan suddenly remembered that when she first became a female official in the Qianzheng Palace, the first time the eldest princess saw An Sui, she felt close, and she opened her mouth to call her sister, which caused a joke.

An Sui also remembered those times in the palace, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

On the sixth day of the second month of the fifteenth year of Chiwu, the prince Leli accepted two side concubines on the same day and merged into the main East Palace.

Although there is no crown princess, its excitement is no less than marrying the crown princess, and there has not been such a grand event in the capital for a long time, and all parts of the capital are dyed with red joy for a while.

What's more, the identities of these two side concubines are also very noble, Concubine Zong is the niece of the current queen's mother, surnamed Zongzheng, called Yangxuan, one is the daughter of Liao Hua, the general of Pingnan, and her name is Enjing. Zong Zhengyang was favored by the prince himself, but Liao Enjing was decided by Ji Xuanyuan at a glance. According to Ji Xuanyuan's statement, Liao Enjing's temperament has a bit of his father's demeanor, upright and enthusiastic, and Leli's introverted and quiet temperament can complement each other a little, and the other six show girls were also sent to various palaces in various countries according to the clan.

Leli got married, I'm afraid the happiest person is not Ji Xuanyuan, not the queen mother who got her wish, nor An Sui, the teacher, but Shuer, the person who is the emperor's sister. Since the official canonization decree was issued in October of the fourteenth year, Shure began to toss and turn.

On the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, An Sui was still in the Honglu Temple, but Shuer suddenly ran in, got An Sui out of the Honglu Temple, and pulled him into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, An Sui realized that the eldest princess had not yet come out of the New Year, but ran out of the palace. Ji Xuanyuan sat in the carriage, dressed in the regular clothes of an ordinary son, and the eldest princess reached out and handed over another new set of clothes to An Sui, "I have picked this fabric for a long time." Hurry up and change this official uniform on your body, let's go out and have fun! ”

On the night of the first day of the first lunar month, everyone is busy reuniting at home, and then there are all kinds of visits to relatives, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the street market is much more lively than usual.

An Sui changed her clothes and came down, Shuer was the first to see her, and reached out and pulled Ji Xuanyuan's sleeve, "Daddy, look, I picked it well!" ”

Ji Xuanyuan nodded lightly, but his eyes couldn't move away from An Sui's body, and his eyes were even more colorful, he only knew that An Sui looked good in white and blue, but he didn't know that An Sui looked better in red clothes.

An Sui was a little embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "So, is it okay?" Could it be, not so good? ”

Ji Xuanyuan smiled brightly, "Okay, very good!" So be it! ”
