"Auntie agreed?" Xu Jiayi looked at Zhao's expression and spoke out in surprise.

"Nature." Zhao nodded, but added, "But I asked Mama Zhao to send him to the official mansion, like him, he can't get out of prison for at least a few years, and it just happens to let him reflect on it." ”

This can't be regarded as a fall, after all, like this, according to the laws of the dynasty, it is not wrong for the master's family to kill him in private. Even if it was to the government, it was also the Zhao family's reason, and the Zhao family's actions were already considered extra favors.

Not wanting to talk about this unpleasant topic, Zhao Shi changed his words and said, "It's time for you to make a ceremony, I'll ask the embroidery lady to make a few new clothes for you, and then you can pick a beautiful one to wear." ”

"I already have a lot of clothes, I don't need to redo them, I haven't worn the new purple silk dress I made last time, just wear that one that day." Xu Jiayi couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and quickly stopped Zhao's words.

Shangshufu has to make three or four new sets of clothes for each courtyard every year, and if there are festivals or some big celebrations, a few more sets will be added, and many of the clothes in her wardrobe have not been worn, so they will be left in the wardrobe to eat ashes. There is really no need to make it so troublesome to let the embroidery girl rush again.

"How can that work," Zhao pulled Xu Jiayi to his side, patted her hand and smiled, "What you did last time is what you did last time, and you and Lu Lihe should do two more things now." At that time, the ladies and girls from all the provinces will also come to watch the ceremony, and let them see how beautiful and likable my family is. ”

Another reason is to tell the ladies of each family that there is a girl in her family who can be said to be married.

Seeing Zhao's excited appearance, Xu Jiayi really didn't want to dampen her interest, so she only nodded, "That's all up to my aunt." ”

"That's right." Zhao nodded again and again, "That's how the girl's family should be." ”

At the end of the second month after Chu Changfeng left, the weather gradually became hotter.

Xu Jiayi still occasionally thought of Chu Changfeng, and thought that when he left that day, he also told him to write more letters back, but he hadn't received a letter from him for several months, and couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied. But after thinking about it, the border pass is now a time when the war is unstable, and as the prince of the Marquis of Anping, he naturally has busy things every day, and it is a normal reason to excuse him if he is not available.

Finally, he received the good news of his victory over the enemy. Along with this good news, there was also a letter written by Chu Changfeng to the Zhao family.

The letter didn't say anything else, just a few lines, four words to be exact.

"Peace, don't read it."

Seeing this letter, Zhao was so angry that he almost laughed, and it was easy to send back a letter after traveling thousands of miles, but he didn't write anything, and after complaining in a low voice "This child", he sighed and asked Mama Zhao to put the letter away.

Kunning Palace.

A little palace maid wearing a peach-pink palace dress is respectfully leaning over to comb the hair of the emperor's favorite concubine, the little palace maid is obviously aware of her own mother's temper, so she couldn't be more careful at this time, and there is a little eunuch kneeling in the hall not far from their inner room, reporting something to the concubine.

Concubine Shu, who was originally careless about dressing in the mirror, couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing the eunuch's report, and turned her head sharply to ask carefully, but she felt a pain in her scalp, and couldn't help but snort in a low voice.

The little palace maid who combed Concubine Shu's hair didn't expect Concubine Shu to move suddenly, and she couldn't let go in time when she was still holding her hair in her hand, and she didn't notice that she pulled Concubine Shu's hair for a while. Almost at the moment when Concubine Shu was crying out in pain, the little palace maid immediately knelt on the ground with a pale face in fright, her body trembled and hurriedly pleaded, "Niang Niang forgive ......"

Concubine Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced coldly at the palace maid kneeling on the ground and didn't make a sound, looked back at the eunuch who had just reported, and asked in surprise, "The emperor wants to give Sister Lan a marriage?" ”

Chu Shizi repelled the army of Qitianguo, the emperor was overjoyed, remembering that Chu Shizi was not married, so he wanted to point out a family affair to Chu Shizi, but he did not say which girl he wanted to decide. Xing'er just said casually to the emperor...... "The little eunuch's head almost fell to the ground, and he replied respectfully, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Concubine Shu didn't think that this was what the emperor said casually, but Sister Lan and her son have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and the two have a very good relationship.

Concubine Shu turned her head and asked the grandmother behind her to come forward and continue to comb her hair, and then slowly continued to ask, "Where is the emperor now?" ”

"The emperor is discussing with the cabinet adults in the imperial study at this time."

Concubine Shu waved her hand, and the eunuch immediately bowed and withdrew.

Only then did Concubine Shu re-focus her gaze on the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Waste, this little thing can't be done." ”

"Mother's anger." The little palace maid trembled and begged for mercy, kowtowing to Concubine Shu one after another, but in a moment there was already faint blood in the middle of her forehead, but Concubine Shu still looked cold and frowned slightly, "The noise makes this palace headache, don't shut up quickly!" Are you all wooden stakes, and you don't drag people down? ”

What to do if you drag it down, needless to say, everyone knows what the result is.

The other palace maids who were on errand in the main hall heard the words and hurriedly set up the little palace maid, because they were afraid that she would annoy the concubine and the lady again, and they would be burdened by them, and they deliberately reached out to block her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

The surroundings quieted down, and Concubine Shu's complexion improved a little, and she beckoned her henchman to whisper a few words to her, and then she heard the palace maid nod again and again, and promised, "Rest assured, the slave will definitely handle this matter." ”

"Go ahead......" Concubine Shu waved her hand to get out.

After about two hours, the palace maid came back again, and told the concubine the news she had found out in detail. After listening to this, Concubine Shu's eyes rolled slightly, and she muttered in a low voice, "Xu ...... Excellent...... Pleasant ......"

Sending off the cabinet ministers, the emperor slowly closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, but he heard that the eunuchs below came to spread the word that Concubine Shu was coming, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise and asked him to invite someone in.

"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Shu's charming voice tickled people's hearts, and it only made people feel crispy to the bones.

When the emperor opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Shu who was asking for peace at the bottom, and raised his hand to let people get up, "Why is Concubine Ai here?" ”

"The concubine specially let the imperial dining room boil white fungus pear soup, this soup nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, clears away heat and fire, and it is the most suitable to drink now, your majesty, you can taste it."

The emperor showed a smile on his face, took Concubine Shu's hand and gently hugged the person in his arms, "Just let the people below send it, why bother to run it yourself, it's hot outside." ”

The two played with each other for a while, and then Concubine Shu made her intention clear. First of all, he praised Chu Changfeng for his great move to protect the family and defend the country and guard the peace of the frontier, and by the way, he complimented the emperor with a real eyesight, and found such a capable person to guard the frontier, and praised the emperor a little fluttering.

I pretended to be casual again, and said that when Chu Changfeng entered Beijing last year, I heard that he got along very well with the cousin girl of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, and I heard that Chu Shizi was not young and not yet married, and I didn't know if Chu Shizi had any plans to marry her as the wife of the prince.

When the emperor heard this, he was really interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "The cousin girl of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion? ”

He just mentioned that he had the intention of marrying Chu Changfeng, and Concubine Shu came over to mention this matter at such a time, it was too much of a coincidence, and I don't know how she knew the news. Is that what else he said, and Concubine Shu also knows it?

The emperor was instantly a little annoyed in his heart, and he was a little unhappy even with Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu had already felt the change in the emperor's attitude, and after a moment in her mind, she understood what the problem was, and begged for mercy to show her loyalty, and in a few words, the emperor smiled, and hugged her into his arms again.

"I don't know if that girl meant that." The emperor thought in his heart, since the plan was to reward Chu Changfeng, it was naturally best to give him a like-minded girl to marry, and it could also show his sincerity.

"The emperor's meaning is the meaning of the cousin, which is also the honor of their Shangshu Mansion and the blessing of Xu Jiayi. If the cousin girl of the Wang family knew the news, she would definitely thank the emperor happily for her adult beauty! Seeing that the emperor was loose, Concubine Shu boasted again.

The eldest princess entered the palace today and wanted to ask the emperor what arrangements were made for this year's Qingming Festival to worship her ancestors, but who knew that she had just arrived outside the imperial study and happened to collide with the concubine who came out of it.

The eldest princess turned sideways and let her go first, and then asked her father-in-law at the door to pass the word, and only after getting permission did she step inside. After entering the imperial study, he first respectfully saluted the emperor, and the emperor was busy reviewing the folds at this time, and he didn't raise his head to let people sit.

The eldest princess smiled and sat down, took the tea offered by the palace maid, took a sip and put it down, quietly looked up at the emperor who was struggling to write, and was a little satisfied, I have to say that her imperial brother has done a good job over the years.

After a while, the emperor put down the brush, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to rub his hands and shoulders for the emperor so that he could soothe and soothe his joints, and the eldest princess said loudly, "The emperor has worked hard." ”

"There's nothing hard or not, it's all for the people." The emperor waved his hand, and guessed a few points about the eldest princess's intention, so he directly said the arrangements for this year's Qingming ancestor worship, and the eldest princess responded again and again when she heard the words, and put forward one or two small suggestions that did not hurt the emperor after a little thought.
