Qi You walked out of the princess's courtyard with his front foot, and the news spread throughout the backyard of the palace, everyone knew that this was a sign that the ban was going to be lifted, Xibao didn't care much about the affairs in the princess's yard, she was waiting for her mother to arrange it now.

A few days later, it was a small asahi, and Liu Ba and Liu Cheng deservedly became the focus of the day.

After all, he is very sick, and it is difficult not to make people guess at a sensitive moment, but his illness is not only long, but also almost cut off from outside visits, which makes him even more mysterious.

Although most of the courtiers guessed in their hearts that Liu Ba should have been pretending to be sick in the past six months, but they had to admire Liu Ba's courage and perseverance to persist for so long, but few people knew what kind of game and struggle the emperor and Liu Ba's henchmen had gone through during the period of Liu Ba's illness.

Just when Prime Minister Liu Cheng was being hotly discussed in the entire capital's high-ranking and aristocratic circles, the Zhao Mansion and the Anping Marquis Mansion were more concerned about the marriage of their children.

After a farewell that day, the Zhao Mansion and the Anping Marquis Mansion were relatively efficient, and Xibao's mother, that is, the Zhang family of the Zhao Mansion, had invited the official media to officially go to the Anping Marquis Mansion to discuss the marriage, because the intentions of the two families were unanimous and the marriage was also very smooth, and the two families also agreed on the day of the Zhao Mansion to propose marriage, and after the proposal, they could determine the good day of marriage.

This is the biggest thing for the Zhang family at the moment, anyway, Zhao Yunfan is still the same as before, but the Zhang family is very busy, the news is confirmed, and the Zhang family will go to the palace to talk to Xibao the next day, Xibao is also worried that his mother can explain the situation in person.

This is not today, Zhang's face came to the palace with a spring breeze, to see his daughter, this whole body of joy can be seen by anyone, everyone also knows that the master's mother has good news to tell the master is like this, and when Zhang enters the house to see Xibao, Xibao laughed and said: "Mother, this big brother is going to marry, you are so happy, if it really comes to the day of marriage, you may not be happy." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "Go, don't make fun of your mother like this, isn't it happy, this matter that has been worried for many years is finally going to be solved, and I am not allowed to be happy and happy!" ”

"I know that this is the joy of becoming a mother." Xibao laughed.

Wen Qin and Wen Hua, who were waiting on the side, also smiled and said: "Madame is overjoyed, slave and maid congratulate Madame!" ”

Xibao smiled and said: "You two can talk, this is not married, you two are congratulating first, don't say it, I'm afraid that my mother will be too happy and her face will be sour." ”

Zhang's face was helpless and doting: "You girl, it seems that the prince spoils you too much, why is it getting more and more unpresentable." After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh again, and even Wenqin and Wenhua were infected and laughed along.

Xibao glanced at the two of them and said, "Okay, you two go down first, or after a while, people will think that what's going on in my house, and they can't stop laughing." ”

Wenqin Wenhua knew that this was the master who wanted to talk to his mother and relatives, so he smiled with interest.

Xibao cleared his throat and said, "Mother, don't you have something to say, if you laugh again, the prince will come back." ”

Although Zhang was happy, he thought that there was still something to discuss with his daughter, so he smiled and said: "Hey, in fact, there is nothing important, I just want to personally come to tell you the meaning of the Anping Marquis Mansion, this Anping Marquis Mansion is interesting to say that this matter is arranged by our side, and this politeness makes my mother a little nervous." ”

"What should I do, the Anping Marquis Mansion is trustworthy for us to say this, should it be really that we don't care about anything, in this case, we have to be more careful and we can't slack off in everything, after all, the current situation is still our climbing, and we will talk about it later, now is to let the eldest brother marry the girl from the Anping Marquis Mansion in a beautiful manner." Xibao said seriously.

"No, that's what my mother thinks." Zhang's Road.

"In that case, what is there to be nervous about?" Xibao was puzzled.

Zhang smiled and said: "This daughter-in-law is different from marrying a daughter, when you get married, we only have to prepare your dowry, and the rest is handled by the palace, but this time it is our turn to marry other people's daughters, in addition to worrying about the dowry, we also have to worry about the marriage, wine, banquet, return gift and so on, your mother and I have no experience for the first time, your father and I have no hope at all, your eldest brother is the person who wants to be the groom, it is not good to keep him busy." ”

Xibao said with a smile: "Look at what my mother said, it seems that the mother-in-law in the world was born to be a mother-in-law, who didn't come here like this, besides, isn't there an official media that can help with some of it, let's do our best, even if you marry a princess and go back, you don't have to be so anxious, no, I'll let Mama Mo go back to help." ”

Zhang said: "Hey, how can this work, there is such a mother around you who is relieved, or let her stay in your mother, my mother is just complaining to you, this matter is not difficult for your mother and me." ”

Xibao smiled comfortably: "That's right, by the way, mother, you have already come to the door to propose?" ”

Zhang said: "The family matter has just been discussed, and the Anping Marquis Mansion is also very satisfied, and the mother is looking for an auspicious day to go with your father in these days, and then I am afraid that it will be a fixed day, and the birthday of the girl in the Jianfu Mansion is also ready to be taken with your eldest brother to ask for a good day." ”

Xibao said: "It seems that the Marquis of Anping is very satisfied with the eldest brother, otherwise it would not be so smooth so soon." ”

Zhang said: "But no, my mother was worried at first that this was the Hou Mansion after all, I was afraid that it would be difficult to get along, but I didn't expect the Hou Ye and the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye to be harmonious, especially the prince was even more polite, it seems that this Anping Hou Mansion is not as arrogant as other princely families, and the mother is a little relieved."

Xibao said: "Mother, you don't have to worry, although they are the Marquis of Anping, but the eldest brother is not bad, besides, there is not a father and a daughter, since this matter was proposed by the Marquis of Anping Mansion first, it is bound to be that they want to marry the eldest brother, and they will definitely not be the eldest brother." ”

Zhang said: "That's the truth, then I'll be relieved, but your mother can't take care of it first, and I won't be able to come to see you anymore when your eldest brother's marriage is over." ”

Xibao said: "I know, my daughter can still be jealous with her eldest brother, but you don't have to do it yourself, you can arrange it and hand it over to the competent slave to do it, don't let this daughter-in-law marry into the door before you are tired, it's not good." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "I know, my mother is measured, since this matter is almost over, then my mother will go back first, and then I will send someone to inform you when the time comes." With that, Zhang got up and said goodbye and left

Mama Mo, who sent Zhang away, also entered the door with a smile after a while: "Master, Madame is happy this time, and she went out with a smile all the way." ”

Xibao said: "Don't say it's a mother, even I'm happy, it's really a happy thing for the eldest brother to be the same age as the prince and now it's hard to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Mama Mo smiled and said: "Master, you say it like this, it seems that the uncle is not good, our uncle is not ordinary, if a girl can marry our uncle, it is a blessing that she has cultivated in her previous life." ”

Xibao said: "I don't know if it's the blessing of other girls, anyway, this time is the eldest brother finally getting rid of his mother's unrelenting urging, oops!" ”

Mama Mo said: "That's right, master, this is about to be proposed, it is estimated that the old lady will prepare the dowry, and she will be busy for a while." ”

Xi Bao said: "Dowry? Yes, and the dowry. ”

Mama Mo reminded: "Yes, if this is an ordinary girl, forget it, but the other party is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, this dowry can neither be too sour nor too expensive, shabby is to underestimate the Hou Mansion of other people, too expensive and let the woman have a burden when preparing the dowry, just with the prince marrying the master, the dowry is a full 100 lifts, so the lord and Mrs. are full of strength to let you marry beautifully, this time we will take care of it." ”

Xibao was a little worried: "My dowry of more than 100 is only out of this house, so can I prepare the dowry of the eldest brother, how much should the house prepare according to the custom?" ”

Mama Mo thought for a while and said, "According to the identity of the girl in the Hou Mansion, it is estimated that her dowry should be about sixty to eighty lifts, and the lord and Mrs. should be about forty or fifty lifts." ”

Xibao was a little worried and said: "In this way, you can go to the treasury and pick up more things that can be used as a dowry and send them to the family, so that my mother can be less busy for a while." ”

Mama Mo said: "Yes, master, the old slave will do it." With that, Mama Mo went down to prepare.

Xibao is busy with the marriage of the eldest brother, and a few days later, Princess Liu has also prepared a gift to visit her father in Prime Minister Liu's mansion, because she sent someone to notify the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance, and Liu's mother Sun arranged it early.

Because Liu Ba has only recently resumed his affairs and is relatively busy, when the princess returned to Liu's mansion, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was still outside to deal with things, but Sun welcomed his daughter into the door, and the mother and daughter chatted for a while.

Sun hid in the palace for a period of time because of the awkward quarrel with Liu Ba before, although she was invited back by Liu Ba, but the only remaining little relationship between her and Liu Ba is about to wear out, if it weren't for the balance for the sake of this pair of children, she didn't bother to deal with Liu Ba, she has now begun to avoid Liu Ba intentionally or unintentionally, for women of her age, power and children are more important than men.

Sun knew that his daughter was also good, so he cared: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your body bones?" ”

Princess Liu smiled slightly: "As long as my father is okay, I will be fine." ”

Sun said with a smile: "This is a little difficult, your father is a ruthless person, as long as he thinks about it, there is nothing he can't do, our mother is just a relatively advanced chess piece, my mother can see through, you still take care of you and the children first." ”

Princess Liu was puzzled: "Mother, why do you say that? Did Daddy say anything? ”

Sun said: "It's your father who didn't mention anything to me, I said this, although the mother is a woman in the backyard, but the least trust between husband and wife, your father is unwilling to give, the mother doesn't expect anything, but you are still young The prince still cherishes you, you have to take advantage of the present to plan for yourself, the man's heart can not be, but the man's trust must be obtained, rather than becoming a woman who makes him affectionate, it is better to become his indispensable arm, only in this way even if you have no honor, you can still hold the power in your hands." ”

Princess Liu looked at her mother suspiciously, and she didn't know what to say.

She knows that the relationship between her mother and father has not been very good, the reason why the two of them are together is not because they like each other but because they like each other's family, and it is for their respective families that their mother and father sacrificed their personal happiness.

Life is like this, Princess Liu is very curious why the two of them can still persist like this, if she would have collapsed a long time ago, especially in recent years, she has felt more and more that her mother is just bent on the power inside and outside the house, and she has almost no love for her father, the head of the family, even family affection is rare, but is this situation really good?
