Chapter 10: The Eldest Princess

The eldest princess said that the real men were in the barracks.

Yao Yanyu heard this and smiled indifferently. No matter where a really good man is, it's not something she can think about. She is the daughter of the Yao family, and her father is Yao Yuanzhi, the governor of Liangjiang, and the daughter of the Yao family will be used by the governor of Yao to consolidate the position of the Yao family in the future.

In fact, her father can't be blamed for this, because in the Dayun Dynasty, in the eyes of these royal nobles and gate valve families, the marriage of children is first and foremost about interests, and whether the marriage between the two families can maximize the benefits. The second is the right match. Then there is the will of the little ones.

Isn't it important to be at the door? But in the face of the best interests, the views of the portal have to stand aside. For example, if the princess and the princess marry far away, isn't the royal family distressed? Doesn't the emperor want to be in charge? In front of the stability of the regime, even if you are as proud as a princess, you have to marry far away when you should marry far away.

As for the will of the children, it must be established if the first two conditions allow.

For example, when the daughter of a certain family reaches the age of marriage, the family selects so many families from the door of interest for the daughter or son to choose by themselves, and asks which of these sons or girls is more desirable? And the children who were asked naturally replied: it is up to the parents to decide.

Of course, this also has to be parents who love their children very much.

Yao Yanyu knew that all of this was something she couldn't expect. Just like when she was sent to Dinghou Mansion by her father with a word, no one asked her a word from beginning to end, are you willing?

The Western Expeditionary Army returned triumphantly, and the entire capital, from the court to the people, was immersed in joy. Dinghou Mansion is naturally no exception, not to mention that the prince Su Yuping also made a lot of military achievements in this campaign, and was named General Dingyuan by the emperor.

Because of the victory, the sorrow of the death of the queen mother was diluted a lot, although the national filial piety could not be a big feast, but the Dinghou Mansion closed the door of their own fathers and sons, as well as the eldest princess and Mrs. Lu and other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law reluctantly gathered two tables of family banquets. The eldest princess's instructions: Just don't use wine, don't sing jokes and tell stories, just sit down together and have a reunion dinner.

Because it was a reunion dinner, Yao Fengge, a sick person, could not participate, so Yao Yanyu was invited to the front.

She didn't want to go, but Yao Fengge said, don't feel embarrassed about your identity, put aside those previous plans, just you are my sister-in-law's relative, and it is reasonable to go to the front for a meal, but I can't take you over, you pay more attention to your words and deeds, after all, the Hou Mansion is not as good as our family, and there are more rules in front of the eldest princess. I'll ask Mama Li to accompany you, and she will remind you if there is something.

Yao Yanyu wanted to say something, but Sun had already come over in person. When he entered the door, he took Yao Yanyu's hand and said, "Mrs. thought that you would not go because you were afraid of life, so she asked me to come and take you with me." Your sister is not well yet, and the doctor does not allow her to go out, otherwise she will have to go together. ”

Yao Fengge leaned on the bed and smiled weakly: "I was talking about her, my sister didn't like to go out when she was at home, and now I can't rest assured that my sister-in-law has taken her with her." As he spoke, he instructed Cuiwei: "Why don't you take the girl back to the room to change clothes?" ”

Yao Yanyu couldn't, so she had to go back and change into a formal outfit to meet the guests, and took a car with the Sun family to the eldest princess's mansion.

Although it is a happy event to win the battle, after all, she is still in the national filial piety, and the eldest princess is a member of the royal family, so no one in the house, from men to women, wears red and purple.

Yao Yanyu naturally didn't choose red and purple, she wore a set of snow-blue embroidered orchid skirts, a few sparse orchid leaves embroidered on the thin cocoon silk, two snow-white orchids, and a fluttering colorful butterfly, smart and light.

At the end of summer, it's still hot, but it's windy. As soon as the wind blows, with the fine footsteps, the light purple skirt is slightly raised, and the bluegrass pattern embroidered on the corner of the skirt looms.

The eldest princess was full of silver hair, wearing a royal blue Tuanhua palace robe, sitting at the head of the main hall of Jiayin Hall in the back garden of the princess's mansion, and when she saw the woman who followed Mrs. Lu and followed Sun as a girl who was not out of the pavilion, her eyes paused slightly.

Mrs. Lu turned around and took Yao Yanyu's hand two steps forward, and replied: "Back to the eldest princess, this is the sister-in-law of the third daughter-in-law mentioned earlier." Today, while everyone was coming, the daughter-in-law took the initiative and brought her to the eldest princess to meet. ”

Yao Yanyu had already knelt down and kowtowed in a proper manner: "Courtier Yao Yanyu greets the eldest princess, the eldest princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

"No courtesy, it's just a family sitting together for a reunion dinner today, and there is no need to perform a national ceremony." The eldest princess smiled slightly and waved her hand.

"Yes, Eldest Princess Xie." Yao Yanyu slowly stood up, took two steps back, and stood behind Sun.

"Sister Yao!" Su Yuyu got up from the eldest princess's side with a grin, walked to Yao Yanyu's side and stretched out her hand to grab her, "What have you been doing at home for the past two days?" ”

Yao Yanyu replied with a smile: "I didn't do anything, just take care of my sister's illness." ”

"Uncle and brothers haven't come here yet, let's go sit over there, and I'll show you the grandmother-like phosphorescent fish." Su Yuyu said, pulling Yao Yanyu and walking out.

Yao Yanyu glanced back at Mrs. Lu, who was talking to the eldest princess and didn't care about her at all. But Sun saw it, and only smiled and nodded. Yao Yanyu followed Su Yuyu out of Jiayin Hall with confidence.

Su Yuyu pulled Yao Yanyu through a willow shade, sat down in front of a group of stone tables, and said with a smile: "Sister, in a few days, our chess club will be the host of the second girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, will you go with me?" ”

Yao Yanyu shook her head lightly: "But I'm very average in chess, I'm afraid it will sweep away your interest." ”

"What's this, we're just playing, who expects to be a national player in our fat powder team? The third sister-in-law is sick, and she can't have fun with you. Aren't you bored at home alone? ”

Yao Yanyu chuckled: "It's okay, it's good to get used to it." ”

"What did you play at home before? Wouldn't it be like this to be alone in the house every day? Amitabha, isn't that going to be covered in hair? haha......" Su Yuxuan said, holding a fan and covering her mouth and laughing.

Yao Yanyu still smiled warmly: "When I am at home, I also like to stay alone in the yard, read books, play with flowers and plants, and the day will easily pass." Also, I have three cats, five puppies, two thrushes, a parrot, a pair of cranes, and a pair of golden pheasants. I walk in front of them every day, and when I get bored, I tease them, and I don't feel bored. ”

"Ahh It turns out that my sister likes to raise cats and dogs! Grandmother also likes to raise these, but she is all big. There's a mastiff, a few fierce horses, and by the way, a snow-white lion in the garden! ”

It's really perverted, it's just a matter of raising a Tibetan mastiff, but actually raising a lion?

Yao Yanyu smiled in surprise: "Oh! Sure enough, it is the pet raised by the eldest princess, and all of them are majestic. ”

While laughing, another man's voice came from the other side of the bushes: "Why are you two here?" ”

When Yao Yanyu hurriedly got up to look, she saw Su Yuxiang, who was dressed in a mountain blue robe, and two men walked over one after another. Su Yuxuan had already gotten up and greeted him with a smile, slightly blessed: "I've seen the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother." ”

Yao Yanyu quietly glanced at the two men other than Su Yuxiang, and thought that the burly person with slightly dark skin was Su Yuping, and the other should be Su Yu'an, so he followed the blessing body to ask for peace: "Yan Yu to the prince of the world, the second master, and the third master." ”
