If the prince didn't come, Princess An was a little excited, and she didn't say much.

Cui's can't see the princess's tiredness, and the purpose of coming today has been overfulfilled, and it is the best policy to accept it when it is good.

So Cui Shi saw the right time and wanted to leave.

Princess An entertained all morning, she was really tired, and she didn't stay any longer, but only said that she would feast the Hou family another day.

Cui Shi thanked him again, and then took Zhao Luoyan and the others away.

After sending off the guests, Princess An breathed a sigh of relief, supported her head with one hand, closed her eyes, and felt tired and weak all over.

Song Wan felt sorry for her mother, sat next to the princess and pinched her shoulder, and Song Ting also followed to the back and beat the princess's back.

The smile on Song Yi's face had already been suppressed, and after waving the maid away, he said, "Mother, you are not in good health, why do you have to force yourself to greet them?" ”

The princess squinted, sighed, and said, "My son, it is precisely because I am not in good health that I want to make more friends with powerful people while I can still hold it up now." Although the Yonglie Marquis Mansion is not a high position in the court, it is also a noble family, and it is not a bad thing to have more contacts. When Rong'er attacks the knighthood in the future, maybe he can help one or two. ”

"Mother, you think about your eldest brother so much, and you don't see if he understands it. Maybe you're heartbroken for him, and he doesn't care. Why should you waste your energy? Song Yi looked dissatisfied and said angrily.

The princess opened her eyes with a swish, took Song Wan's hand and sat up forcibly: "Yi'er, Rong'er is your brother, is your attitude the attitude you should have towards your brother!" Besides, it's always me who can't stand Rong'er first, which causes him to have a knot in my heart, shouldn't I pay more as a mother? ”

"Then you don't have to stick your hot face to his cold ass! Moreover, with his father planning for him, and the prince supporting him, where do you need to do something. ”

The princess sighed and pulled Song Wan and Song Ting to sit beside her: "Yi'er, I am very relieved that you are distressed as a mother." It's just that as a mother, I always have to think about my children. Even if you don't talk about your brother, Wan'er, and Ting'er, they are all fourteen years old, and they should be in time for another year. In the past, I was in poor health, and I didn't go out to socialize much, and I rarely went out to walk around with Wan'er Ting'er, so I had to be a lot more passive when discussing relatives. ”

Song Ting heard the princess mention her family affairs, blushed and lowered her head, Song Wan was bolder, and asked directly: "But didn't the queen mother and the queen mother in the palace keep saying that they want to find a decent family affair for me and my sister?" What worries mothers? ”

The princess shook her head with a wry smile, stroked Song Wan's hair, and said, "Since ancient times, how much family affection has the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family?" If it weren't for your father's obedience, I'm afraid our family would have been out of the capital a long time ago. Now that the prince is bent on lifting Rong'er, then the few of you must not be too dazzling, and the heavenly family can't tolerate a large number of excellent people. ”

"No wonder the second brother has been ......" Song Wan looked at Song Yi thoughtfully, but was startled by Song Yi's gloomy face, and swallowed the words that she was about to blurt out, and asked again: "It's just, what does this have to do with my sister's relationship?" ”

"Born in the royal family, and with a favored father and brother, which of those powerful families doesn't want to marry you? Besides, your status deserves the best. It's just ......" The princess hesitated, not knowing whether to let her daughters know the cruel reality.

"It's just that the queen mother and the queen don't know if they will make a fuss about the relatives of the third sister and the fourth sister, after all, there are few princesses in the emperor, and they are still young, and the children's in-laws have always been a good way to win over the courtiers and even solve the problem of diplomatic relations." Song Yi lowered his voice and slowly said the facts.

Song Ting was so frightened that she collapsed suddenly: "What do you mean by second brother?" Could it be that the emperor still wants to send us to make peace? ”

Although Song Wan was bold, she also lost her face, and then asked: "Now that our Song Kingdom and Great Chu and Nanping have suspicions, and there are wars on the border from time to time, do these two countries want to be friendly with us?" ”

"The third sister is quite familiar with current affairs. This matter has not yet been seen, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. The second prince of Da Chu and the prince of Nanping are all at the age of marriage, and now they are in a state of stalemate with our Great Song Dynasty, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not propose peace to us. Song Yi analyzed.

"What then?" Song Ting's anxious tears were about to fall, "Are we really going to marry a foreigner?" Mother, I don't want it, I want to stay with my mother, and no one will marry. ”

Princess An took Song Ting's hand and soothed: "Don't worry, Yi'er also said that there is no clue to this matter, but it is just that my mother is taking precautions and wants to plan in advance." ”

Song Ting has always been led by the words of her mother and brother, and with Princess An's words, she stopped her tears a little, but Song Yi's face did not turn clear: "So my mother carefully selected the Yonglie Marquis Mansion as the opening of the preparation, firstly, the Yonglie Marquis has no important official position in the court, and the intersection with the Hou Mansion will not attract the attention of the emperor, and secondly, the son of the Yonglie Marquis Mansion has already married, and there are no other adult sons, the queen and the queen mother will not think that the mother is planning for the lifelong events of the two sisters." ”

Princess An nodded, and was very comforted by the second son's wisdom and understanding: "What you said is right, with this matter as a reason, you can also make more friends with the prince of Yonglie Hou in the future." ”

"Zhao Luoyan has great ambitions and is good at reading, so he will not be a thing in the pool in the future. I'm too close to him, I'm afraid that some people will be unhappy......" Song Yi said coldly.

"Yi'er......" Princess An's already gloomy eyes added a touch of sadness.

Song Yi sighed, forced a smile, and soothed: "Mother, don't be too tired. The matter of friendship with the Hou Mansion should be gradual and not in a hurry. Otherwise, we will attract attention before we achieve our goal, and our efforts will be in vain. As for the family affairs of the third sister and the fourth sister, even if the queen mother and the queen have any ideas, they can't do it if they want to, so they have to take into account the thoughts of their father and eldest brother. ”

Song Wan and Song Ting were comforted by Song Yi, although their expressions were still different, they could be regarded as calm. And Princess An seemed to have something to say, but after looking at the trance-like appearance of her two daughters, she still didn't speak again.

Song Yi settled his mother and two younger sisters, walked out of the princess's bedroom, and Xiao Ye, who had been waiting under the corridor, walked over, put the cloak in his hand on Song Yi, and said angrily: "Second young master, you are really, why do you let the slave pay attention to that Lu family, isn't it that you have any personal relationship with her?" ”

Song Yi scolded: "What nonsense! Let's talk about it, what is the relationship between the Lu family and Zhao Luoyan? ”

Xiao Ye snorted twice, and then said: "In a short period of time, no matter how sharp the slave and maid are, they can't see why." But thinking of the things that the young master explained in person, if the slave and maid can't finish it, won't they be sorry for the young master. Therefore, the slave's eyes widened and she kept staring at the Lu family. That's why the slave maid saw something wrong......"

Xiao Ye made a fuss, stopped the topic, his eyes were bulging, and Song Yi smiled a little: "Okay, you tell me the situation, if this information is useful, I won't miss your reward." ”

Xiao Ye got Song Yi's promise, so he continued what he had not finished saying: "Mrs. Yonglie Hou and Shizi treat the two grandmothers the same way, but when they entered the mansion, it was the Lu family who followed Mrs. Yonglie Hou, and Shizi and Lian fell behind. ”

"What's so strange about that?" Song Yi was a little puzzled.

Xiao Ye chuckled: "The second young master has never cared about the affairs of the inner house, so naturally I have never heard of these little rules. It stands to reason that the elders come first, the children come last, and the spouses come second. No matter how bad it is, it is the children and their spouses who follow behind. And the Hou Mansion and his entourage, but the Lu family was alone in front, and the prince and Lian were behind. I think it was the prince who didn't want to move forward with the Lu family. ”

"Oh......", Song Yi thought thoughtfully, "It seems that Zhao Luoyan is not blessed to enjoy the blessings of Qi people." ”

Xiao Ye finished speaking, and seeing Song Yi's pensive look, his face showed displeasure: "Second young master, what the slave said is useful, right?" ”

"Naturally useful. You're doing a great job this time. Song Yi said, took out a gouache box from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Ye: "This is what I bought on the street, take it for you to use." ”

Xiao Ye refused to take it: "Young master, every time I use these gadgets to coax the slave maid, what the slave maid really wants is to return to the young master to serve you." ”

Xiao Ye was so opposed, but Song Yi was not annoyed, took Xiao Ye's hand, and put the gouache into her hand: "You are also decent in front of your mother now, much better than following me." Why do you have to come back? Take this and go back and play. ”

Xiao Ye is not a stubborn person, Song Yi said this, and no longer refused, put the gouache in his pocket, and muttered: "Even if you want to send the slave maid with something, you can find something good, such as the ornaments of a Ninglou, next time you take these rouge gouache, the slave and maid will not follow." ”

Song Yi replied on his face: "Okay, your temper is bigger than that of your master." ”

"Second young master, the slave can't afford this. If the slave and maid were really the one who didn't care about the temper, she would have shaken out your troubles a long time ago. After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue, "Or next time you also find new goods from that Ninglou and give them to the slave maid, and the slave and maid will not be guilty of the past." ”

Why is it a Ninglou again? Song Yi was a little helpless: "You also said that you don't have a big temper, do you want to reward your master so openly?" ”

"Who said that the slave opened her mouth to ask for it, obviously you just agreed. A gentleman is hard to chase after a word, you are everyone's son, you can't talk and don't count. Xiao Ye pouted, looking unhappy.

"Alright." Song Yi raised his forehead and said, "You still know what to say about me." Isn't it just a jewelry store, and it's not a Longtan tiger's den, just buy it for you. ”

"Then the slave and maid thanked the second young master first." Xiao Yejiao smiled and blessed her body, "In the future, the second young master will only have to give orders if he has something, and the slave will leave first." With that, he turned around and walked into the inner room.

Song Yi looked at Xiao Ye's distant back, and shook his head secretly, he was really not big or small. But I was thinking in my heart, it seems that this Ninglou is going to go for a while.

Song Yi's eyes couldn't help but sink.
