In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Gonggong Zhou handed tea to the emperor.
The Emperor took it and drank it slowly.
Gonggong Zhou also waited quietly aside.
In the middle of summer, the sun is shining outside, and the inside and outside of the hall are quiet.
"Father-in-law Zhou, the will has been announced, right?" The emperor asked after taking two sips of tea and half-squinting his eyes.
"Back to the emperor, it has all been announced, the queen, Yuwen Guifei, and Nangong General's Mansion have all been announced." Father-in-law Zhou said unhurriedly.
"How's the reaction, let me hear it." The emperor played with the teacup in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the reaction over there, you should also know, the queen is relieved, but Concubine Yuwen has some ...... Stunned. Father-in-law Zhou said truthfully.
"Really?" The Emperor chuckled.
"Hmm."
"Humph! It seems that the brother-sister relationship between Xuan'er and Jin'er is deeper. The Emperor sighed meaningfully.
"The fifth prince and the seventh princess are brothers and sisters of the same mother, how can they not have deep feelings? It's like the master, you and the eldest princess. Father-in-law Zhou smiled and patted his ass.
"Hehe......" The emperor just chuckled, then closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he had fallen into a nap.
Gonggong Zhou took the tea in the emperor's hand very intimately, and then silently retreated to the side and waited.
Outside the palace, the eldest princess returned home.
Mama Hong Su immediately handed over the veil.
The eldest princess turned her head while wiping and said, "Isn't Jung-hee up yet?" ”
"Hey, master, you left the house with your front foot, and the little boy followed out with your back foot, and I don't know where it went." Mama Hong Su smiled.
"Shhh...... This kid has been mysterious recently, and he finally caught up with Xiu Mu, but he is becoming more and more active. The eldest princess smiled helplessly.
"Isn't this going to be a Keju competition, the little boy must have gone to practice." Hongsu took the handkerchief, and brought warm tea to the eldest princess.
"Practice? Hum! In the palace school, this kid probably only has a snack for Keju. The eldest princess sat down and slowly took two sips of tea.
"Hehe, look at what you said, master, isn't the little boy very studious now, and I haven't heard many complaints from those scholars in the palace school recently, right?" Red pigment is painful for Jiang Zhengxi.
"It's only been a long time, and he hasn't sat seriously in the palace school for a few days with this Lala mixed up." The eldest princess was helpless for a long time.
"That's much better than before, the little boy has been a lot quieter this time." Red Su persuaded.
"Even if he is a kid, this palace has been too busy recently, and I don't have time to ask him about it, so it's better to be really fine." The eldest princess was skeptical.
"Master, don't worry, I don't know how much the little boy has grown up in the past year." Mama Hong Su saw all the changes in Jiang Zhengxi this year.
"Hey...... That's true, thanks to the little girl. The eldest princess finally smiled.
"The ninth girl of the Yan family?" Mama Hongsu was stunned for a moment.
"Of course, this kid can be cured by a little girl." The eldest princess said with the corners of her mouth curled.
"Uh...... Master, you don't mean to come for real, do you? Mama Hongsu said uncertainly.
"Why not?" The eldest princess smiled happily.
"Uh...... That being said, it's just ...... I don't know if the little boy is willing. Hongsu muttered again.
"He? If you don't want to, why dig your heart and lungs? "The eldest princess has long seen it.
"Uh......" Hongsu hesitated.
"Oh, by the way, I've been so busy these days that I forgot to ask, what news did Jung-hee ask the secret guard to inquire about last time?" The eldest princess turned her head and asked.
"Oh, the master is talking about Li Ji, right?" Mama Hong Su had already asked clearly according to the instructions of the eldest princess.
"yes, why is this kid so interested in him?" The eldest princess asked.
"This slave doesn't know, but he knows that Li Ji is from the south, and he ......" Hongsu recounted the things he inquired about to the eldest princess.
"What?" The eldest princess listened to Hongsu's words, and some unusual fragments flashed through her mind, which made her face stiffen a little.
"That's the news, but the authenticity is still up for debate." Red pigment said truthfully.
"Shhh...... How could Jung-hee ......" The eldest princess was obviously worried about not Li Ji's business.
"Master, what's wrong?" Hong Su could see that the eldest princess's expression was wrong.
"Hongsu, this matter will be kept secret for the time being, go and call the secret guard who inquires about this matter to come over, this palace has something to order, by the way, when Zhengxi comes back, be sure to let him come to this palace as well." The eldest princess felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"This ...... Be! "Mama Hongsu immediately went down to make arrangements.
And in the palace, Yuwen Guifei was in the palace, and the five princes had just turned back.
As soon as the fifth prince entered the main hall, he found that his mother and sister were all in the hall, as if they were waiting for him.
When Concubine Yuwen saw the return of the fifth prince, she got up anxiously and said, "Xuan'er, how is it?" ”
"Mother, my son just sent them away." The fifth prince was still slightly panting, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry to come back.
"Xuan'er, this is the holy decree sent by Gonggong Zhou." Concubine Yuwen handed the holy decree to the five princes with some sorrow.
The fifth prince took the holy decree, and he didn't need to look at it to know the meaning, he patted Yuwen Guifei's arm and said, "Mother, my son already knows about this matter." ”
"That'...... So what should I do? Concubine Yuwen was full of sadness.
"Mother...... The holy will is difficult to do, not to mention, the father's holy decree is equivalent to announcing the world! The fifth prince sighed and said.
"What do you mean, does it mean that your sister has to marry and marry the fourth princess?" Concubine Yuwen was really in a hurry.
"Mother, you have also seen the holy decree." The five princes seem to be powerless.
"How can that, how can it be!" The emotions that Concubine Yuwen had endured all day were completely outlod, her eyes were red, and her face was full of resentment.
"Mother concubine ......" The fifth prince looked distressed.
"Why, Queen, why is she? If the fourth princess refuses, must Jin'er replace her? The fourth princess is the emperor's daughter, isn't Jin'er not? Concubine Yuwen shouted angrily.
"Mother!" The Fifth Prince frowned.
"Why, I can't be angry yet! The queen is just vicious and trembling, and she is reluctant to have her own daughter, so she wants to push Jin'er into the fire pit, why! "Concubine Yuwen is really angry and hateful.
"Mother, my father's arrangement naturally has his intentions, whether you accept it or not, you can't complain like this, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." The fifth prince helped Yuwen Guifei and persuaded.
"Mother...... My brother was right. Jiang Xinjin, the seventh princess who was also full of red and swollen eyes on the side, also walked over slowly and persuaded lightly.
"Jin'er......" Concubine Yuwen looked at her well-behaved and sensible daughter, and her tears became more and more unstoppable.
"Mother concubine......" The seventh princess choked up when she looked at it.
"Mother, little sister, you ...... Hey...... "The fifth prince looked at the grief of Yuwen Guifei and the seventh princess, and his grief was really like a fish in his throat.
For a while, the hall was sad.
After a long time, Concubine Yuwen finally recovered a little, and while wiping her tears, she sobbed slightly: "Xuan'er, the mother concubine is just reluctant, reluctant Jin'er......"
"Mother Concubine......" The seventh princess snuggled in the arms of Yuwen Guifei, and she was also reluctant.
"Mother, actually, this matter is not as bad as you think." The fifth prince finally couldn't help but sigh.
"If it's a good thing, the queen will be so kind and let Jin'er replace the fourth princess?" Concubine Yuwen was puzzled.
"Mother, calm down first, sit down, and listen to your son tell you slowly." The fifth prince helped Yuwen Guifei back to her position.
The seventh princess also sat down against Concubine Yuwen.
The fifth prince explained: "Mother concubine, that **** once asked his son about Nanyue Kingdom, although Nanyue Kingdom is a small country and has a weak army.
However, Nanyue has been rich and prosperous since ancient times, and many other countries cannot compare, and he is located on the southern fortress of our country, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why my father values them so much.
In fact, this marriage has long been intended by the father, and such an arrangement is also expected.
Just based on the fact that the father intended to give birth to the fourth princess that day, you should also see how much the father attaches importance to it. ”
"But wasn't the fourth princess set at the beginning? Why, it was suddenly changed to Jin'er again? "This is this problem that Concubine Yuwen is worried about, she thinks that it must be that Nanyue Country is not good, so the queen wants her daughter to replace it.
"Mother, after all, my sister is also the daughter of my father, the princess of my father.
Although this matter is changed to my sister, it is a little sudden, of course, it is indeed related to the queen's side, this matter, obviously we are at a loss, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, the queen has done us a great favor this time. The fifth prince squinted and said.
"Xuan'er, what do you mean?" Concubine Yuwen was so annoyed that she couldn't figure out the hint of the fifth prince for a while.
"Mother, what does my brother mean is that the little prince of Nanyue Kingdom is actually the best policy?" The Seventh Princess is smart.
"Oh, sister, you're so smart." The five princes looked approving.
"What kind of dumb riddle are you brothers and sisters playing?" Concubine Yuwen didn't understand.
"Mother concubine, born in the royal family, as a princess, this marriage is not up to her daughter, whether it is good or bad, it all depends on the favor of her father, as for the little prince of Nanyue, Min Xian, her daughter feels that it is not impossible." The seventh princess put away her tears and said very seriously.
"Jin'er, are you too sad?" Concubine Yuwen felt that the seventh princess was simply talking nonsense.
"Mother, my daughter doesn't, but you're a little anxious." The seventh princess frowned slightly.
"Jin'er." Concubine Yuwen became more and more confused.
"Mother, my sister is right, you are in a hurry." The fifth prince glanced at his sister with great satisfaction.
"You two are ......," Yuwen Guifei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Mother concubine ......" The fifth prince glanced deeply at Yuwen Guifei again.
Concubine Yuwen frowned, and looked back at her daughter again.
The seventh princess nodded silently at Concubine Yuwen.
Concubine Yuwen suddenly understood something as if she had a flash of inspiration.
"Mother, the daughter is going to marry after all, if she can kill two birds with one stone, the daughter is willing." The seventh princess looks much more mature in her actual age.
"But that's marrying in a foreign country!" Yuwen Guifei was reluctant.
"Mother, apart from this, everything else is the best." The Seventh Princess did not reject such an arrangement in her heart.
"But ......" Concubine Yuwen held the hand of the seventh princess and was reluctant. (To be continued.) )
