Yu Zhongjun glanced at Yu Ruoxu, and when he saw her nodding at him, thousands of feelings surged in his heart. I only heard the surrounding courtiers talking about it, some of them were lamenting the coolness of the princess of Nanyue, and some of them showed a rather gloating expression. Marquis Dingyuan coughed lightly and said, "As the princess said, this is a good story related to the national glory of the two countries, and I ask Lord Yu to think about it." ”

The voice of the Marquis of Dingyuan was loud and majestic, echoing in the main hall, faintly carrying a solemn intention that could not be refused. Compared with the little emperor who sat on the throne and didn't say a word, it seems that the Marquis of Dingyuan is the real Ninety-Five.

Puppet Emperor...... Yu Ruoxu sighed lightly, no wonder he wanted the Liang family to die without a place to be buried.

"Minister, obey the mother's orders." Yu Zhongjun's voice trembled a little, and he leaned over and kowtowed. Yu Ruoxu's heart was a little sour, in her impression, her father's back was always straight, since when was he forced into such a situation?

"Then the mourning family will fulfill the princess's heart." The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood, and she actually laughed out loud, "Zhou Aiqing, remember to choose an auspicious day for Yu Aiqing and welcome the princess into the palace as soon as possible!" “

Zhou Yuanzhao stood up and said, "The minister obeys the order." “

Xu Xiao'e also leaned over and kowtowed, and her voice was even sweeter, "Courtier, thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." “

"In the future, you will be the wife of the second grade, Taifu." The Queen Mother smiled and aggravated the word "wife", "You came all the way from Nanyue and don't have any relatives around, so let's marry from the palace, and it can be regarded as an explanation to your lord." “

"Empress Dowager Xie!" Xu Xiao'e was a little flattered, "If my father knew, he would be doubly grateful to the Queen Mother for her compassion." “

Yu Ruoxu's heart was a little astringent, the next palace banquet was boring for herself and Yu Zhongjun, delicious dishes, elegant dances, almost all became a passing cloud, but could not withstand the worries that lingered in her heart for a long time.

After getting into the carriage and returning to Yu's mansion, Yu Zhongjun pulled Yu Ruoxu directly into the study, "Did you see anything strange about what you asked the princess today?" “

Yu Ruoxu helped him to sit on the Taishi chair, and lit a few more oil lamps, "This princess should have been discussed with the Queen Mother before Nanyue Kingdom." ”

"Oh? How to say this. ”

"If, as the princess said, she fell in love with her father at first sight." Yu Ruoxu analyzed carefully, "When the daughter asked her at the time, she should at least show a trace of hesitation. But when her daughter saw that she didn't think about it, she agreed directly. This shows that she came to our Yu family from the beginning. “

"You have a point." Yu Zhongjun nodded, "My father also felt that something was wrong at that time. Even if there is a rule for a three-year general election, you can decide on a family affair first and wait three years before marrying. But the Queen Mother is so anxious to stuff her to her father, there must be some ulterior motives. “

Yu Ruoxu sighed, "Since the Queen Mother is intentional, we must not be allowed to refuse." “

That's why she hinted at Yu Zhongjun and asked him to agree to this family business. At that time, the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Dingyuan had little patience left, and if they continued to refuse, I am afraid that there would be more unjustified disasters.

"That's fine." Yu Zhongjun thought for a while, "When the princess arrives under our noses, maybe we can figure out what her intentions are." “

To this day, only soldiers come to block it, and water comes to cover it.

Yu Ruoxu was silent, recalling a series of events after entering Beijing, such as the mutiny of the victims, the conspiracy of the Taimiao, the fire in Yufu, the mysterious handwriting of the eldest princess of Anyang, and today's marriage...... She was a little nervous in her heart, looked at Yu Zhongjun, and said, "My daughter will look at the princess carefully, and my father should put more attention on the court, according to what my daughter saw today, this Dingyuan Marquis seems to be getting more and more domineering." ”

Obviously, it was a palace banquet for the little emperor's birthday, but I didn't hear a word from the birthday star during the whole process, but the queen mother and the Marquis of Dingyuan were dealing with the envoys of various countries. According to common sense, the little emperor has reached the age of fourteen, although he is not yet the age of pro-government, but external affairs such as receiving envoys should have been familiar with it a long time ago.

But now it seems that the little emperor has no way to touch the slightest bit of government affairs.

"The Marquis of Dingyuan is now under one person and above ten thousand, and even the excerpts must be given to him before they can be sent to the emperor." Yu Zhongjun snorted coldly, "Not only that, but now he is the auxiliary minister of the Queen Mother, and he dares to beat Lord Zou in front of the emperor directly in the imperial study, and the emperor has issued an order for him to stop, and he dares to resist and disobey." ”

"So strict?!" Yu Ruoxu was a little surprised, "What about after that?" “

"This has happened several times, but this time it's very strict." Yu Zhongjun sighed, "Later, my father and several other colleagues worked together to pull him away. By the way, the little eunuch named Han Qing, who was waiting outside before, heard a noise outside the door and rushed in to help a lot. If he hadn't taken the kick of Dingyuan Marquis for Lord Zou, it is estimated that Lord Zou would not even be able to get out of bed now. “

Han Qing?

Yu Ruoxu shuddered, suddenly remembering the scene she heard in the cold palace that day, and couldn't help asking, "What about Han Qing now?" “

"He's a blessing in disguise." Yu Zhongjun thought for a while, "Although he vomited blood on the spot and fell into the root of angina, the emperor remembered that he had meritorious service, so he ignored the opposition of his father and other adults, and insisted on asking the queen mother's will, and promoted him into the study to serve with another housekeeper and palace maid." This is also the first one in more than ten years. “

When Yu Ruoxu heard the sentence "I have angina", I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart. She looked at Yu Zhongjun, only to see that he was still indifferent, and seemed to be vaguely contemptuous and dissatisfied, so she whispered, "This Han Qing can be regarded as suffering from an unwarranted disaster, which is pitiful." “

"Don't be careless against the calamity of eunuchs." Yu Zhongjun frowned, "You just have too soft a heart, not everyone is worthy of pity." “

"My daughter understands." She is worthy of Yu Zhongjun's dislike of eunuchs, in fact, not only Yu Zhongjun, as long as they are people in the world who have experienced the disaster of Zhao Eunuch, all of them hate eunuchs to the core.

"I was talking about the matter of Dingyuan Marquis just now, why did I go around to that little eunuch again?" Yu Zhongjun smiled, "Okay, let's not mention him yet." After that, the affairs in the house still need you to have more snacks. “

"My daughter knows." Yu Ruoxu was a little tired, and yawned slightly, "The Queen Mother issued an order today, saying that she wants to get married as soon as possible, and then our house will be busy." “

As if in response to her words, within a few days, Taichang Temple was optimistic about the auspicious day of the zodiac, and planned the wedding date of Yu Zhongjun and the princess of Nanyue until the fourteenth of next month, leaving only half a month for the Yu family to prepare.

Yu Zhongjun himself didn't have much mood to take care of the matter of getting married, so he just handed over the marriage letter and Geng post to Taichang Temple, and then buried his head in political affairs. Yu Ruoxu and the housekeeper started a new round of busyness, because the other party is a princess of a country, and they can't be lazy in the bride price. There are also trivial things such as giving a wedding card and installing a new house, which almost turned Yu Ruoxu's busy dizziness.

"I didn't expect to have to do so much trouble to become a parent." Yu Ruoxu closed the list of bride price, rubbed her eyes, and complained in a low voice.

Xiu'er rubbed her shoulders on the side, and comforted her with a smile, "Miss, don't worry about it first, when Miss gets married, it will be the master's turn to have a headache." ”

Yu Ruoxu choked, "Are you trying to comfort me, or do you want to block me?" ”

"Slaves don't dare." Xiu'er stuck out her tongue, and the force in her hand was lighter, "What the slave and maid said is serious, Miss, don't think the slave is verbose......"

"I think it's better to help you find a good family to marry, otherwise you will soon become the second Li Afu by my side." Yu Ruoxu smiled and said, "Do you have a favorite man?" If so, I'll visit right away? “

"What did the young lady say!" Xiu'er stomped her feet, and even the roots of her ears burned red, "The slave is obviously talking about the young lady, why is it talking about the slave and the maid's marriage again." “

Yu Ruoxu didn't seem to hear it, and said to herself, "Actually, I think Li Afu is good, he has a clean net worth, and he is an honest person, the key is that his temperament is particularly matched......"

"The slave didn't tell the young lady." Xiu'er hurriedly covered her ears and ran out with a red face. As soon as I opened the door, I heard Li Afu's voice coming from the courtyard, "Miss, the little one is Li Afu, someone from the palace came to the palace, saying that it was for Geng Ti, and the housekeeper said that he wanted to ...... it."

"Oh, what are you yelling at such a loud voice? Don't be afraid to scare Miss! Xiu'er was ashamed and angry, standing at the door and throwing a tantrum at Li Afu.

Li Afu was scolded by her slashing his head and covering his face, and he was stunned, "The little one usually speaks in this voice, Miss didn't say anything, what's wrong with Miss Xiu'er today?" “

Xiu'er was so angry that her chest rose and fell a little, "I really can't understand human words!" With that, he ran out of the yard.

"Miss Xiu'er, could it be that she has a fever?" Li Afu was confused, and when he turned his head and saw Yu Ruoxu sitting in the room laughing, he was even more confused, "Miss, Miss Xiu'er, she ......"

"It's okay, the girl's mind is more difficult to understand, so don't guess." Yu Ruoxu couldn't hold back her laughter, coughed twice, and said, "What did the housekeeper say?" “

"Oh, the housekeeper asked the little one to pass the word, saying that he was inviting the young lady to the flower hall to meet guests." Li Afu said.

Yu Ruoxu nodded, got up and straightened his clothes, and followed Li Afu to the flower hall. Halfway through, I heard him muttering behind him, "I can't understand human words anymore......" Yunyun, Yu Ruoxu really couldn't hold back, and hurriedly covered the corners of his smiling lips with a handkerchief.

She couldn't help but think that getting married was a good thing after all, at least looking at the red and glamorous happy words in the house, the sorrow in her heart gradually faded a lot.

Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Huang who was beside the Queen Mother who personally brought Geng Ti over, Yu Ruoxu hurriedly asked her to sit down, "Why bother Aunt Huang to go to Taichang Temple in person, it should be our Yu family to go to Taichang Temple......"

"This is what the queen mother meant, saying that the princess has no relatives in the capital, and even if it is her maiden family in the palace, she naturally wants her mother's family to send Gengti." Aunt Huang took out a delicate Nanmu box and said, "This is the princess's Geng post, and I ask the young lady to keep it for the adult." “

"It's nature." Yu Ruoxu opened the box and looked at it, and after carefully confirming it, she handed it to the housekeeper beside her, "Take this to Daddy's study first, and ask him to take a look when Daddy comes back." “

"The little one obeys." The housekeeper left the room with the box in both hands, and there was no one else in the entire flower hall except for the two of them and Li Afu who was guarding the door, and it seemed a little empty.

Aunt Huang said with a smile, "I have heard that the Yu family is clear and clear, and the slave maid has passed on the message for the queen a few times, and I see that there are almost no people in the Zun Mansion who are waiting. “

"Daddy strictly obeys the ancestral teachings, so that the people who call are enough, there is no need for too many." Yu Ruoxu replied.

"But the princess is a daughter after all, and when she enters the mansion, it is better to find more maids to serve."

"That's what my aunt said." Yu Ruoxu was a little puzzled, did the Queen Mother want to interfere in the private affairs of the Yu Mansion?

"The slave maid sees that Miss Yu also has the same personality as Lord Yu, and other people's daughters are all maids and nurses, but there seems to be only one girl around Miss Yu, and there is not even a nurse, right?" Aunt Huang thought about it, as if she was gossiping with her.

Yu Ruoxu frowned slightly, "Don't hide it from my aunt, my father and mother have been trying to raise them personally since they were children, and there will be no nurse to take care of them after the age of seven." “

When she was seven years old, after Yu Ruoqing was lost, her father and mother sent her nurse and extra maids, took her with her personally, and never left for a moment.

But the mother was still depressed and passed away soon after.

"I see. Sure enough, Miss Yu is Lord Yu's treasure, and even the prince of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion did not have such treatment back then. Aunt Huang smiled.
