Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen have known each other since childhood, and before they knew it, their relationship became less pure. Gao Zhen knows this, and Zhao Xiu knows even better. She noticed the softening of her grandmother and brother's attitude, and she could also notice the extraordinarily blue eyes of King Guangping, so she knew that she was eighty percent likely to marry Gao Zhen.

There's nothing wrong with marrying Gao Zhen. At least know the roots, know each other since childhood, and don't worry about blind marriage and dumb marriage. Moreover, she trusts Gao Zhen's temperament as a person, and she can also appreciate the depth of his affection. The two often come and go on weekdays, and when they go to Jiangnan this year, half of the time they live on a boat, and the rest of the time they live in a garden, and they are already familiar with each other in terms of living habits. In the future, if you get married, that is, you will live closer to each other, and there will be nothing uncomfortable. Besides, Zhao Xiu still has a good impression of Gao Zhen in his heart. This marriage, in her opinion, is a matter of course.

But she's only fourteen years old now, and she's still early to get married. It is one thing for her and Gao Zhen to have a number in their hearts, and it is one thing for King Guangping to have a consensus with Zhang and Zhao Wei in their hearts, but it is another thing to be teased by outsiders in person. Zhao Xiu's face was spicy, and he still complained a little about Gao Zhen in his heart. Needless to say, he must have said something in front of his elders. Shouldn't this make the Queen Mother, the emperor, and the Jiang family have any bad opinions about her?

Although she and Gao Zhen have a little personal relationship, they are really not too out of line!

Just when she was worried in her heart and her face turned red, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly and said: "Brother Zhen'er's marriage should indeed be mentioned." It's been delayed for so long, if I don't make a decision, I'm afraid that the kid will be anxious with me. She looked at the blushing Zhao Xiu with a smile and turned to Zhang: "Sister Zhang, what do you think?" This grandson of mine will be your grandson-in-law, okay? ”

Zhang was a little at a loss for a moment, but after thinking about it, wasn't this matter already decided? King Guangping has mentioned it more than once, and since he has this heart, he will definitely tell the queen mother and the emperor. Thinking about the times the Queen Mother saw her before she went to Jiangnan, the tone of her speech, and her eyes full of deep meaning, in fact, she was prepared in her heart. If it weren't for this, when she was in Jiading, she would not have agreed to let Gao Zhen accompany her granddaughter on the trip. However, she originally thought that she would first set the marriage of her grandson Zhao Wei, and then set the marriage of her granddaughter, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to mention it so quickly.

However, when Fang Jin saw her, the Queen Mother rewarded Zhao Xiu with something more valuable than most of the ladies, obviously looking at her differently. Now the Queen Mother avoided outsiders and mentioned this marriage directly to her, which not only expressed the royal wishes, but also gave the Zhao family twelve points of decency. Because the queen mother did not directly say that the marriage was given, but asked her what she thought of this marriage, which meant that there was some equal discussion between the in-laws. Corporal Royal Lixian, how could their Zhao family not know how to advance and retreat?

So Zhang replied with a smile: "Let the Queen Mother be the master." As he spoke, he glanced at his granddaughter, his eyes full of relief.

Her granddaughter is finally about to get married.

Zhao Xiu's face was already red and about to drip blood.

The Queen Mother laughed, and Second Mrs. Jiang was very clever: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, you have a good granddaughter-in-law." The princess of Fenyang also said with a smile. Miss Jiang Liu raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, snickering eating.

The Queen Mother was happy in her heart, and then looked at Zhao Xiu, who bowed her head and blushed shyly, how she liked it, and said, "Good boy, don't be shy." You are what our brother Zhen has been asking for a long time. In the future, if he provokes you angry, you can only come to me, and I will be angry for you. ”

Zhao Xiu was really ashamed this time and hated to drill a hole in the ground.

Who knew that at this time, the palace people came to report: "The prince of Guangping asks to see." The laughter in the warm pavilion suddenly fell silent, and then burst into laughter again. Zhao Xiu's head was so low that she didn't dare to raise it, but the Queen Mother laughed so much that her stomach hurt, and she said while laughing: "Brother Zhen, can't you wait?" Hurry up and tell him that his grandmother is proposing marriage for him. Don't be so anxious, hurt other girls. The crowd laughed again. The palace people covered their mouths and laughed and went out.

Zhao Xiu really can't walk, nor can she sit, Jiang Liu's girl got up and walked to her side with a smile, and took her hand: "If you keep talking, the sister of the Zhao family should be annoyed for a while." The Queen Mother might as well reward me with a grace and let me accompany the Zhao family sister to the small garden for a walk. It's just that the prince can't see the beautiful woman when he comes in for a while, so don't complain about me in your heart. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Go quickly, go quickly." It's time to tell Brother Zhen to be anxious. ”

Zhao Xiu lowered her head amid the laughter of everyone and walked out with Miss Jiang Liu.

At the entrance to the apse, she passed by Gao Zhen, who was about to enter the door. Gao Zhen just listened to the words of the palace people, and was overjoyed, and wanted to come up and talk when he saw her. She glanced at him with disgust, lowered her head and went out with Miss Jiang Liu. Gao Zhen was stunned, staring at her back. Miss Jiang Liu looked back, bit the corner of her sleeve and held back her laughter, but she still couldn't help but let out a few small laughs. When Zhao Xiu heard this, he felt more and more embarrassed.

When he arrived at the small garden and couldn't see the entrance to the apse, Zhao Xiu looked back and saw Gao Zhen entering the hall, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Jiang Liu smiled and said to her, "Sister Zhao...... Oh, no, I can't call you sister anymore, but you should call me my cousin. My rank has been promoted, and she will be very happy if I tell the fourth sister. ”

Zhao Xiu blushed and said, "Sixth girl, I'm not afraid that I will call you old." ”

Miss Jiang Liu's eyes widened, and then she smiled again: "It's really good that you can still talk back." In the future, when you meet acquaintances, it will not be fun if you are awkward. I'm not afraid that you'll call me old, no matter what you call me, I'll be there. If you don't call me, the prince will call me my cousin. I've been used to hearing it since I was a child, what are you afraid of? ”

Zhao Xiu took a bite of her before saying, "It's very good, since you don't mind, then how about I call you aunt generously?" It's just that my cousin is an elder, so why don't you reward me, a junior, with a red envelope for the New Year? ”

Miss Jiang Liu's eyes widened, and she twisted her face angrily and funny: "You conscienceless, I am kind enough to help you out of the siege and pull you to avoid other people's jokes, and you still want to ask me for a red envelope?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled while hiding: "You want to be my cousin's aunt, and it is also the right thing to give a red envelope." You forgot, I kindly remind you. If you don't thank me, why do you still screw people? ”

Jiang Liu's girl chirped: "I love to screw it, you and Shanwen are my nieces and daughters-in-law, I want to screw her, she has always been obedient, don't you let it go?" ”

While laughing, Gao Zhen came out of the apse again and went straight to the small garden. Miss Jiang Liu was surprised when she saw it, and said with a smile: "He actually got out so quickly?" The Queen Mother really loves her grandson, even so, I should have some eyes. The casual clothes looked around and said, "Oh, on this cold day, you can't enjoy the flowers outside without a hand stove." How did I forget? Then he said to Gao Zhen who came over: "Good nephew, your cousin forgot to bring a hand stove and will miss her for a while, do you accompany your cousin for your aunt?" Don't be rude. ”

Gao Zhen glanced at Zhao Xiu with a smile, and Zhao Xiu deliberately put his eyes elsewhere. He smiled a little deeper, and said to Miss Jiang Liu, "Aunt Cousin, just go, I am here." ”

Miss Jiang Liu gave Zhao Xiu a look, and then left with a smile.

Zhao Xiu's face slowly turned red again, and he lowered his head and wrung his handkerchief without speaking.

Gao Zhen couldn't hide the joy on his face, slowly walked to her side, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Sister Zhao, the Queen Mother has already proposed to your grandmother for me." ”

Zhao Xiu said "um" lightly and didn't say anything else.

Gao Zhen took another step closer to her: "Your grandmother has already agreed. ”

Zhao Xiu's face was hot: "I know." ”

Gao Zhen couldn't help laughing: "They are discussing our wedding date." ”

Zhao Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and quickly lowered his head: "At least...... It won't be until two years from now, right? ”

"How is that possible?!" Gao Zhen categorically vetoed, "Two years is too long!" At most, wait until you are in time! ”

Zhao Xiu thought about his age and complained in a low voice: "I was still young at that time...... My brother has not yet married, and when he marries his sister-in-law and enters the door, he has to let his sister-in-law take the middle feed over and get started, so that I can handle my marriage. I know that the palace needs someone to take care of the backyard, but you also think about the difficulties of our family......"

Gao Zhen said: "I didn't marry a daughter-in-law to find a housekeeper. I don't care what other people think. In my heart, I just hope that I can marry you home as soon as possible. If I could, I really wished you would come to our house tomorrow, and it would save me from being anxious day and night, looking through the autumn water. ”

This made Zhao Xiu's face even redder. Seventeen-year-old boy, do you know what he means by this?

Gao Zhen obviously knew. He said it out of his mouth, and he regretted it a little, for fear that he would surprise his sweetheart. He glanced at Zhao Xiu cautiously, and it happened that Zhao Xiu also peeked over, and the two looked at each other, both of them were a little embarrassed, and they turned their heads away.

They just talked to each other, forgetting that there was more than one voyeur in the distance. Miss Jiang couldn't help but laugh when she saw it, and ran back to the hall to describe it to the Queen Mother and other elders. Although she couldn't hear what Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu were talking about, just looking at their shy appearance was enough for her to joke.

Although Zhang was amused when he heard it, he was also a little uneasy: "Let's let Sister Xiu come back?" She is still a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, even if she agrees on her family, she should avoid it. ”

The Queen Mother stopped her with a smile and said, "It's okay, in my small garden of Cining Palace, they are both good children who are sensible and polite, what can they do?" Besides, they were childhood sweethearts, and they were seen from time to time. This family affair must be good, and it will be difficult to meet again. Brother Zhen still doesn't know how to be annoyed. I wanted to make a family appointment for them as soon as possible, but Brother Zhen'er's father persuaded me, saying that if they had decided on a family affair early, how would they meet when they went south? It's better to wait until I return to Beijing. It's a pity that Brother Zhen can't understand his father's hard work, but urges me to propose to your family. I had no choice but to lean on him, and look back and see how upset he was! ”

The crowd laughed again.

The Queen Mother said to the Zhang family again: "Ming'er's will go down." Today, I have to issue an edict to the Li family first, although Brother Zhen is the elder brother, he is not as good as the emperor's eldest son, so it will naturally be later. When the decree goes down, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion should be busy. When the time comes, I will send two kinder female officials to your family to teach Sister Xiu'er etiquette and palace rules - in fact, Sister Xiu'er is very familiar with it, so she doesn't have to worry about learning it badly. There is only one point, because Brother Zhen needs to marry before the emperor's eldest son, this marriage period must not be delayed for too long. Next autumn will be good, and Sister Xiu'er will be in time at that time, what do you think? ”

Zhang hesitated, so that his granddaughter would only be at home for less than two years.

Second Mrs. Jiang persuaded her on the side: "We know that the old lady is reluctant to give up her granddaughter, but please think about it, there has been no housewife in the Guangping Palace, and it is not like words." This year or so has been the limit. You can't ask the prince to be an elder brother and marry a daughter-in-law later than the emperor's eldest son, right? ”

The Zhang family also understands that the eldest son of the emperor is crowned the crown prince, and before marrying the concubine, there is almost two years of preparation time. Gao Zhen will marry next fall, and the time is indeed just right. For more than a year, it was enough for her to marry her granddaughter-in-law. So she nodded: "Let the Queen Mother be in charge." ”

The Queen Mother had a satisfied smile on her face.

The marriage of the eldest son of the emperor was decided, the marriage of the prince of Guangping was decided, and the princess of Fenyang began to ask for her grandson: "The queen mother has taken a fancy to several girls before, I don't know how many children in our family, can we have the blessing to marry one of them?"
