Unconsciously, two years passed in a flash, Yuanyuan got married, Ah Huang gave birth to a daughter, and Diandian was also at the age of staying his head, and Zhuang'er was even more accustomed to life in Nannei. The queen mother's body is gradually healing, but the queen mother is getting older day by day, Emperor Zhang has become a distant term, and people are talking about when the emperor will be in power - this year's fourteen-year-old bolt is almost at the age of marriage. According to the practice of the young emperor, he will generally perform the crown ceremony after getting married, and the crown ceremony is an adult, so it is logical to take the government into his hands.

According to the order of age, it must be the first to handle a little marriage, after all, the young and the old are orderly, and if you don't marry off your sisters first, it's not easy to get married as a younger brother. So the Queen Mother mentioned this matter to Xu Xun early. "But if you want to find a good husband for a little bit, the marriage has been done in advance, but the round house doesn't have to be in such a hurry."

Compared with the aunts, the three princesses of this generation have two marriages that are very good. Yuanyuan and her husband have a relatively harmonious relationship, although they do not live together in a house, but now they are also having a big belly in the princess's mansion, and the queen mother is also worried and happy about this, and there is no need to say that she is happy, but the worry is because Ah Huang's first child is dystocia, and she is sick during the confinement, and she has been lying in bed for most of the year. The little girl who was born so easily is also sick and crooked, which makes people worry. This is because of the relationship between giving birth too early and not exercising enough, Yuanyuan usually doesn't like to move, and the Queen Mother is afraid that she, like her sister, will not go well in childbirth.

Xu Xun has handled a lot of weddings and funerals over the years, but when it comes to his daughter, he has no idea, "It's not that I can't get used to it, she is not as ......beautiful as Ah Huang and Yuanyuan."

"What's the matter, you, a mother, are too strict with your daughter." The Queen Mother opened her eyes and said nonsense, "I will be born well if I look at it." ”

"She's like a daddy." Xu Xun's vision is still very objective, "Black flesh bottom, single eyelids, and a little strong, it is a blessed appearance, but it may not be said to be good-looking." ”

The three princesses are not talented women who have made achievements in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their attainments in female virtue are also very limited, although their temperament is not very arrogant, but they are also quite a bit of the willfulness of golden branches and jade leaves - under strict teaching, she can't do the thing of Shengping Princess in 'drunk beating golden branches', but she is also a character who refuses to let people. Although she has the authority of the princess, Xu Xun thinks about it, her daughter, although everything else is haode, but she has a stubborn temper, looks average, and is quite strong. Although it is only the princess who picks the horse, but the horse is not without ideas in her heart after all, and she chooses too well, in case the psychology is unbalanced after marriage, and the relationship between husband and wife is not good, it will be uncomfortable for the rest of your life.

"You have to look simple and strong, have a calm and soft personality, don't care about small things, and can hold your mind about big things." Xu Xun instructed Zhao Lun, "The kind of person who wants to live, the family population must be simple, and the character must not be greedy ......"

explained a lot of requirements, but he was afraid that the horse would not be at ease if he chose high, and he was afraid that he would wronged his daughter if he chose low, so Zhao Lun was stunned and could only nod, Xu Xunfang smiled to himself, "The most important thing is to choose a little bit of like." ”

That...... What does the little princess like? Zhao Lun couldn't say anything, but it was not good to ask directly, so he had to ask Mama Qian to probe the wind, and after probing for a long time, he found back a little sentence, 'If you don't want to marry yet, don't choose'. - The co-authors feel that they are still young, and they still want to wait until they are eighteen or nineteen years old to get married.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl has a very unstable temper, Xu Xun didn't take Diandian's words seriously in his heart, and when Diandian came to her to talk about it, he was surprised, "What, I really don't want to marry now?" ”

Not all mothers and daughters in the world can say nothing, in fact, few of the three pairs of mothers and daughters from large families can reach this realm. After all, since she was a child, she has been with her every day is the adoptive mother, generally speaking, the mother has many children to take care of, and there is not so much leisure to talk to a single child, although Xu Xun only has a son and a daughter, and tries to be more with the children, but she is usually busy, besides, the children are older, and always feel a little embarrassed to say to the adults, and in the two years after the age of twelve, the number of exchanges between the mother and daughter has indeed decreased. However, Diandian was not as afraid of his mother as he was when he was a child, and he gave his mother enough face outside, and when the two talked in private, they always choked Xu Xun, "You don't look down on me, so you can't wait to send me out of the palace, and don't come back?" ”

Xu Xun was choked and rolled his eyes, and it took a while for him to recover, "How can you talk like this kid...... Which sister of yours wasn't the one you chose at this time? Even your aunts, if they hadn't encountered the funeral of Emperor Zhao, they would have all married at this age? Why are you special alone, if you don't want to choose a colt, you won't choose, and if you don't want to get married, you won't be married for the rest of your life? ”

"What's wrong with not marrying for a lifetime?" muttered unhappily, "I don't want to get married, it's easy to get used to living in Qing'an Palace, what princess mansion to live in...... Can the Princess's Mansion compare to the West Garden? Can it be compared to Nannei? ”

Co-authoring is a child's love for a family - Xu Xun is also happy, for her, the things that the court means, but not necessarily for Diandian. She grew up in the court and never went out of the imperial city, for her, the sky and the earth are only as big as the imperial city. She is safe and happy here, unlike the concubines, just her blood naturally determines that she will never encounter any real setbacks in the palace, and she does not need to worry about her favor.

"Choose first." She used a strategy to delay the army, "I have chosen, will I discuss when I will get married, besides, the female university will not stay, I am afraid that when the time comes, you are looking forward to getting married." Look at your sister Ah Huang, she went to the temple to offer incense every now and then, and went out to go out - there is no such thing in our palace, even if you want to see the people outside, you can only go to the gate at noon on the day of the Shangyuan Festival and look down at the gatehouse. ”

In the end, he is young, he has a heavy heart for playing, and he has a strong heart for conformity, so his tone was somewhat relaxed, "Don't you say that I forgot, after I go out, I can still go to Sister Ah Huang and Sister Yuanyuan to play......

Xu Xunqiang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Isn't it?" Otherwise, when Zhuang'er also goes to the fiefdom, how boring will you be? Bolt is usually very busy, and he may not be able to play with you, so do you follow the Queen Mother every day and serve her to criticize and fold? ”

After some persuasion from her, Diandian was silent about the selection of horses, but she didn't have any requirements, because when she was very young, the only male in her life had died.

Needless to say, a little dowry, Xu Xun has been favored for many years, and her net worth is naturally rich, she is the only one daughter, Zhuang'er will go to the fief in the future, and the court will not treat him badly - compared with the princess, the treatment is much stronger, and the gold, silver and jewelry that can come in handy are just afraid that Zhuang'er will not be disdainful at all. Xu Xun left part of herself for the future princess Yun, and the rest of what she couldn't wear by herself was given to her daughter, plus the queen mother and the queen mother, a little dowry, compared to the two sisters, it was not much worse at all.

The princess's mansion is under construction, and the horse selection activity is also moving forward in an orderly and steady manner in Hebei, Xu Xun is busy with these trivial things every day, but he feels very energetic. As for those troublesome government officials, about half a year ago, it returned to the hands of the Queen Mother, Xu Xun is just playing the role of a counselor, and now she has serious things to do, so she can just excuse herself from these annoying things, and for a while she is simply refreshed, and there is a fairy mentality of 'and let go of the white deer and green cliffs, and ride to visit the famous mountain if you have to go'.

It is the queen mother, who has been recuperating for a few years, and after a serious illness, the knowledge she originally learned is also scattered, and she can see the sparse and sparse reading of the chapter, if it is not for the bolt child also expressed interest in government affairs, I am afraid that this inner court will really be reduced to a seal office, and whoever sends any edict will be covered.

- In the past two years, if there is anyone who has changed the most, it is the bolt, and no one can tell which day, this child gives people a feeling of 'grown up'. Although his homework was often displeased with the gentlemen, he never quarreled with them again. In the Qianqing Palace, he was gradually replaced with the palace maids and chamberlains he liked to be close to, although under the strict supervision of the elders, he had not yet gotten rid of the identity of a child, but presumably like his father, before officially marrying a wife, there would be one or two palace maids who taught him to go through personnel...... The children are really growing up, and the corresponding ones are the parents who are getting older, the day before yesterday, Xu Xun found a wrinkle in the corner of his eye in the mirror.

The Queen Mother has already passed her fortieth birthday, and Xu Xun's forty years old is almost unexpected, and it is already close at hand.

At the age of forty, even if you are beginning to gradually enter old age, your mentality will inevitably change, and some things that you valued very much in the past will not care about now. Although the emperor now has a lot of questions about political affairs and shows a look of impatience to be in power, the queen mother not only does not resent her authority to be coveted, but also takes the initiative to send the chapter to the Qianqing Palace from time to time, and the relationship between the mother and son seems to be a little closer, and it is much easier than the stiff 'mother and son filial piety' in the past. - After all, that was three or four years ago, time is the most effective plaster, one by one thickened, the original wound, gradually no longer visible traces.

Being able to live such a life at the age of forty, Xu Xun was already satisfied. Over the years, she had learned not to demand perfection, no matter how tedious life in the palace was now, and how delicate the relationship between her family was...... As long as every day is a little better than before, a little more decent than the worst time, she will no longer have any superfluous requirements.

"When I was young, I never thought that there would be a day when I could watch a little bit of getting married." When she and Liu Zhien were strolling in Xiyuan, she casually sighed, "Although it is considered age, there is no problem for Emperor Zhang to live to marry a little...... However, at that time, I always felt that time passed very slowly, more than ten years seemed to be a lifetime, and the day when I grew up and got married, it was like the death of Emperor Zhang, and it would never come...... Sometimes, I feel like I can't survive that moment. ”

"The days are always like this, looking far away, and passing quickly." Liu Zhien said respectfully, "I'm afraid that before Niangniang knows it, her children and grandchildren are already full." ”

"Doesn't that mean I'm old?" Xu Xunshu smiled and changed the topic, "Have you seen all the people Zhao Lun brought back?" ”

Liu Zhien entered the palace today to reply to the family background of several horse candidates. Ah Huang didn't catch up when he chose his son-in-law, and when Yuanyuan chose the horse, Jinyiwei also played a lot of roles, and the parents in the horse family were short, and they didn't inquire about it, which can be regarded as a side proof of whether the candidate's family is innocent and whether the relatives are sensible and reasonable, so as not to let the princess marry rashly, only to find out that something is wrong, and then it will be too late to regret it. When it came to getting married, it was naturally inevitable that this set would be unavoidable, and Liu Zhien was also very detailed, and it took half an hour to explain the family affairs of the final three candidates. None of them were perfect, they were all a little annoyance, but they were all harmless.

The three of them have already moved into the imperial city, Xu Xun has sent more than a dozen groups of people to see it, and they also have a deep understanding of their situation, after listening to Liu Zhien, she has some ideas in her heart, but she only didn't say it, but asked, "With what you see, who is better?" ”

Liu Zhien's answer was unexpected by Xu Xun, "It doesn't matter what the slave thinks, only the princess likes it is the best." ”

Xu Xun was a little stunned, "She can only see it once, it's just a count, what if she sees it wrong?" ”

Liu Zhien didn't know where to think of it, but he actually smiled himself, and said, "The fate of people and people, I can't tell it, there is really fate, and I will feel different at first sight." ”

He and Xu Xun have been friends for many years, plus he is also an internal servant with status, a slight gaffe when serving the master is not a big deal, Xu Xun looked at his expression, her heart moved slightly, she was silent for a while, and then smiled, "Speaking of which, you are also in your forties this year, and you don't seem to have a wife around you, don't you want to marry a wife and raise a child and continue the bloodline of the Liu family?" - If you have any sweetheart in the palace, just tell me, and you will definitely let your family affairs be handled properly. ”

Today's internal servants are not the same as those in the years of Emperor Wen, most of them buy houses and buy houses outside, marry wives and take children, and the adopted sons they receive are all young orphans who have no father and no mother, and they really treat them as fathers, Xu Xun's words are not ironic. You must know that Jin Ying, the master of ceremonies, has passed away, and within a few years, there are more than ten wives and concubines outside the palace, although Liu Zhien also has some industry outside the palace, but there is still no food and no wife, which is considered an outlier in the inner servants.

Liu Zhien's expression was slightly condensed, and his tone was a little stiff, "The slave maid is a body of sin, and there is no bloodline to continue - you can't do such a self-deceptive thing, besides, the slave maid has been pure since childhood, and has never had the idea of a man or a woman, even if she marries a wife, it is also a delay in the life of the big haode girl, but why bother?" ”

Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know what to think, so he just grabbed a thought floating in his mind at random, and frowned, "But you have no relatives, and you have to think about your old age, apprentices, righteous sons, do you have to accept a few." I heard Zhao Lun say that your family affairs are not rich enough......"

"Duo Cheng Niangniang is concerned." Liu Zhien's tone also softened, "The slave maid also accepts two apprentices, but they are still young and frizzy, and they are training in the yamen. ”

He changed the topic again, "As for the three sons, they are simple slaves, Zhang Gongzi has a soft temper, Meng Gongzi talks about things, and likes the simple population of the family......"

In the end, Diandian chose Zhang Gongzi, who has a soft temper and a smile, compared with her two brothers-in-law, Zhang Juma looks ordinary, and has no background at home, just an ordinary cultivator, only in his open-minded temper, and he is an honest dough at first glance - her choice coincides with Xu Xun. The palace immediately began a new round of busyness, building the princess's mansion and the concubine's mansion, preparing a little dowry, and her canonization of the eldest princess ceremony...... At the end of the year, the marriage was completed, and there were no idle days, just after the beginning of spring, he threw himself into the battlefield after the selection of Zhu'er - this time, even the Empress Dowager was in good spirits and prepared to go out of the mountain to personally choose a good daughter-in-law for Zhu'er.
