Chapter 102: Twisted melons are not sweet

But Chu Nanyue is also cautious.

Chu Nanyue has never shown off anything in front of others because of the importance of the eldest princess of Xunyang. When she attended a banquet in the past, she only once wore the pair of golden steps given to her by the eldest princess of Xunyang. And that time, Chu Nanyue did so because she thought that the eldest princess of Xunyang would come in person.

Be intelligent and not arrogant. is the seedling who acts as a good general.

The eldest princess of Xunyang could see Chu Nanyue's sincerity and talent, and since she saw it today, she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"General Chu, I heard that a while ago, the imperial court set up a martial champion and added a martial test, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War almost had a conflict because of this. It was because of you that the two sides reconciled and got along. The eldest princess of Xunyang asked.

"Probably." Chu Nanyue replied.

Although in reality, between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, she only played a partial role. But the words of the eldest princess of Xunyang, she couldn't deny it.

But the eldest princess of Xunyang frowned instead: "General Chu, you have to be careful."

Chu Nanyue felt that such a reminder was familiar, Dongling Shuo and the eldest princess of Xunyang were really grandchildren, and even at this level, they all thought of going together.

Probably because Chu Nanyue's expression was too peaceful, the eldest princess of Xunyang followed up and said in detail: "The dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War cannot be resolved with your intervention. They now choose to be safe because there is no real interest involved. But now that they are quiet, they will not be at ease either, and most of them will take the opportunity to win you over. ”

Chu Nanyue smiled: "Your Highness, what you said, His Royal Highness the Sixth also said it once to the last general."

Saying that, Dongling Shuo also looked at them: "Grandmother, in fact, General Chu himself thought of it."

It was also because they were too worried about Chu Nanyue that they would mention it.

"It's good to know what to do." The eldest princess of Xunyang looked at Chu Nanyue lovingly, "General Chu, after all, you will not return to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and they will win you over for a while, and it is impossible for them to regard you as their own person at all." It's wise for you not to touch them now. ”

"Yes, the Admiral wrote it down." Chu Nanyue nodded.

As he was talking, the female guard from Fang Cai led a person in and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Qi has come down."

It turned out that when the children of the royal family came to the mansion of the eldest princess of Xunyang, they did not need to be so harshly reported. As far as today is concerned, as soon as he said this, Tanglin Yan has already stepped into the hall.

I don't know if Fang Cai's words have reached Dongling Yan's ears from afar.

"The grandson salutes the aunt and grandmother." Tanglin Yan knelt on the ground.

The eldest princess of Xunyang hurriedly raised her hand, let Donglin Yan get up, and gave her another seat.

"I don't know what a good day it is, Yan'er, you're here too." The eldest princess of Xunyang said with a smile.

Chu Nanyue observed the expressions of the two on the side, and Dongling Yan still looked caring and enthusiastic. And although the eldest princess of Xunyang also greeted and spoke, she seemed to lack the warmth that Fang had just treated Dongling Shuo.

Since the eldest princess of Xunyang is her aunt and grandmother, she is the emperor's aunt, and the emperor's son should be as close as her.

But Chu Nanyue felt that according to the character of the eldest princess of Xunyang, the blood relationship is in her, and it is not the standard for looking at people.

"Auntie, how are you doing lately? When I came to see you last month, did you eat all the bird's nest you brought? "Dongling Yan acted properly, and the eldest princess of Xunyang was really shouting and asking for warmth.

"I'm an old bone, but I'm fine. You don't have to worry about my diet every time, I haven't finished eating what your father has sent. The eldest princess of Xunyang said.

Between the words, although there is a certain amount of gratitude, there are also other meanings and hints.

Above the imperial power, it must be the current emperor as the most respected. The eldest princess of Xunyang is suppressing Dongling Yan with the emperor.

The emperor's gift is still there, and where is your room.

Chu Nanyue was surprised. It stands to reason that the eldest princess of Xunyang grew up watching Dongling Shuo and several people, and she will have feelings for several people.

But why is the words admonishing Tanglin Yan?

Chu Nanyue looked at Dongling Yan's slightly embarrassed face, guessing Dongling Yan's answer.

After all, Donglin Yan's expression only existed for a moment, and then he said: "My father has always been busy with state affairs, and it is inevitable that there will be incompleteness. When grandchildren and others came to see their aunt and grandmother, they not only wanted to do their filial piety, but also wanted to help their father do their filial piety. ”

Donglinyan spoke rigorously, but people couldn't make mistakes. In a few words, the fault alluded to by the eldest princess of Xunyang was turned into filial piety.

"You kid has grown, and you can rely on yourself to speak and do things. I am relieved of you. But there is only one thing, you are not young anymore, but there is one less princess in the mansion to help you take care of the life in the mansion. The eldest princess of Xunyang took the initiative to mention, "There are many banquets in the palace, don't you have your favorite ladies and bring them over for us to see?" ”

The problem of heirs is a pain point in the Tanglin Dynasty. The emperor originally had four sons. However, the crown prince has died.

Although Dongling Hong has a princess, he has not given birth for a long time, and later the emperor allowed Dongling Hong to accept several maids in the palace, but there is still no movement.

And the most worrying thing is Tanglin Shuo and Tanglin Yan. The two of them have not yet married, and they have already become the objects of the search of the big families in the capital.

"Auntie, when you asked in the past, there was really no candidate for your grandson. But now that I ask again, my grandson really has a favorite woman in his heart. Dongling Yan smiled.

As he spoke, Dongling Yan looked at Chu Nanyue seemingly unintentionally. His gaze unabashedly roamed Chu Nanyue's face, almost suggesting.

When Tanglin Shuo felt it, his expression quickly turned to displeasure.

The eldest princess of Xunyang took in everything, pretended not to know and continued to ask, "Which woman did Yan'er fall in love with?" If it is suitable, my aunt and grandmother will come to you to kiss you. ”

Dongling Yan shook his head: "That woman has her own opinions, and now her grandson is not so sure, I am afraid that I will make my aunt and grandmother wait for a long time."

He didn't mean to say Chu Nanyue's name at all today. What is Chu Nanyue's character, how could Dongling Yan not know.

He understood that Chu Nanyue had a strong temperament, and if he really mentioned the marriage in front of the eldest princess of Xunyang, Chu Nanyue would dare to refuse it on the spot.

To this day, Dongling Yan admits that he has not really touched Chu Nanyue's bottom line. Since Chu Nanyue lived peacefully with him above the court, it would be the same in front of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Xunyang.

"Then my aunt and grandmother also want to tell you. Feelings must be the willingness of both parties. Twisted melons are not sweet. The eldest princess of Xunyang said.

The eldest princess of Xunyang didn't wait for Dongling Yan to reply, and smiled as if she suddenly realized: "It's because I'm old and confused, your sixth brother is still unmarried, I shouldn't rush you." But now you're all older, and you have your own ideas. The Emperor and Empress and I are both enlightened people, and everything is up to you. ”
