As soon as he heard Xiao Zhouhou's words, Zhou Xuan's originally somewhat apprehensive heart was put down, he understood, although Xiao Zhouhou is a queen, but also a mother, Xiao Zhouhou is holding grievances and competing for favor for Princess Qingle, this is the same reason as Qin Que's mother always wants her biological daughter Qin Que to press the righteous daughter's sewing needle, and hurriedly laughed and said: "My aunt is wrong to blame my nephew, and my nephew is worried that my aunt will not marry the princess. ”

Xiao Zhou asked, "Have you ever seen Hu Zhu?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I went, and I ate a closed door." ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled, her anger was a little lower, she was complaining that Zhou Xuan wanted to marry her daughter but sat firmly on the fishing boat, ordinary people marry their daughters, and the son-in-law has to do everything possible to please the mother-in-law, run errands and give more gifts, not to mention the princess of a country?

Xiao Zhouhou knew that Zhou Xuan had a lot of wives and concubines, Qin Que, Sewing Needle, and Yang Xiaofeng, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, especially Yang Xiaofeng, whose beauty was not inferior to Princess Qingle, and I heard that there was a Xiahou tassel, and she was also talented, and she would marry Lin Hanyun in the first month of next year, and her baby daughter Royal Princess would also join in the excitement, and in Guangling, Hu Zhu first proposed to marry Zhou Xuan, which was too undignified, if she married in the past, she would not be angry with the Zhou family in the future.

Speaking of which, although Xiao Zhouhou is virtuous and knowledgeable, but as a woman, she is jealous, otherwise Li Yu would not have accepted other concubines since the death of her mother, now Li Yu is pale and pale, Xiao Zhouhou has nothing to be jealous of, seeing that her daughter simply does not understand the art of the imperial husband, she naturally has to stand up as a mother, and she can't lose her royal dignity.

Xiao Zhouhou said: "You will be dumbfounded if you eat closed-door soup." Aren't you very methodical? I went to Nanhan, but I really did a lot of great things. ”

Zhou Xuan knew that Xiao Zhou was not praising him for calming Qingyuan. Instead, he blamed Princess Qingle for cutting it first and then playing, but now that he has understood Xiao Zhouhoudi's intentions, he is determined, and he naturally wants to show fear and shame on his face, but he said: "Auntie, this matter needs to be explained in detail by the ministers and nephews." However, in this cold world, my aunt and mother have just galloped on horseback, don't feel the cold, please go to the small building over there and listen to the nephew again. ”

Xiao Zhouhou's heart warmed, and he said "um", and said in his heart: "Nephew Xuan will care about people, Hu Zhu said that he took care of him carefully when he was sick twice." Then he stepped off the horse, and the female officer on the side hurriedly brought a brocade coat and put it on the mother.

Xiao Zhou then walked towards the small building on the side of the equestrian arena with long legs. It was a resting place for the riders, and it was very warm and red.

Xiao Zhouhou sat on the Hu bed, the palace maid brought hot water to clean her face and wash her hands, Xiao Zhouhou asked them all to quit, and her mother-in-law wanted to train her son-in-law.

Zhou Xuanbi stood aside respectfully, waiting for Xiao Zhou's words.

Xiao Zhou later spoke: "Huzhu's stupid child fell for you, and he was desperate, and a girl's family actually said that she wanted to marry you." You're good, it's hard to open the golden mouth, are you sure to eat my Huzhu, right? ”

Zhou Xuan said: "My aunt should know the character of her nephew, how can her nephew be so arrogant and ridiculous!" Ministers and nephews have always paid attention to planning and then acting. Since the princess - uh, the relationship, the nephew has been thinking hard about a good strategy, thinking about how to get the aunt to agree to let the princess marry me, the nephew knows that this is very difficult, but the nephew loves Huzhu cousin very much, and if he does not marry Huzhu's cousin, the nephew can't eat, sleep well, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all out of interest, that night in Guangling Jingyang Palace. Huzhu's cousin is also impulsive. I said it, but I didn't think about it, but I made my aunt unhappy. It makes my nephew even more anxious—"

Suddenly, I heard an affectionate call from the wooden door: "Cousin Xuan-"

Princess Qingle, dressed in a sable coat, rushed in, knelt down in front of Xiao Zhouhou at once, and cried: "Queen Mother, I have heard Cousin Xuan's words, Cousin Xuan is so good to me, please don't embarrass Cousin Xuan anymore, Hu Zhu is not married to Cousin Xuan!" ”

Xiao Zhouhou is holding a shelf to prepare to train her son-in-law, and to artificially set some difficulties, marrying a princess can't be too easy, right, but now that her daughter is so interrupted, it seems inappropriate for her to embarrass Zhou Xuan again, and secretly shook her head: "Hu Zhu is really stupid, there is no scheming!" He said angrily: "Silly child, the queen mother didn't say that she wouldn't let you marry Zhou Xuan, but she just wanted him to treat you better in the future, get up, you two sit down." ”

Zhou Xuan thanked his aunt and mother, sat on the left behind Xiao Zhou, Princess Qingle sat on the right, Princess Qingle's big watery eyes looked at Zhou Xuan, if it wasn't for her mother here, she would have thrown herself into the arms of cousin Xuan.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Didn't the princess say that typhoid fever has not been cured?" How-"

Princess Qingle glanced at Xiao Zhouhou, smiled charmingly, and said, "I want to try if Cousin Xuan doesn't care about me, I'm in good health, and Cousin Que'er has gone back to the house." He said to Xiao Zhouhou again: "Queen Mother, lift the ban, Cousin Xuan has already eaten closed-door soup." ”

Xiao Zhouhou was helpless, this daughter didn't cooperate at all, she couldn't slap a slap, so she had to say: "Zhou Xuan, you have made a great contribution to the southward trip, not to mention the pacification of Qingyuan, and brought Hu Zhu back safely, my aunt is very happy, let me ask you, when did you like Hu Zhu?" ”

Zhou Xuan glanced at Princess Qingle, Princess Qingle's cheeks were flushed, and her pulse was full of affection.

Zhou Xuan said: "Don't hide it from my aunt, my nephew was amazed when I saw Huzhu's cousin at first sight, but at that time I already knew that Huzhu's cousin would marry the Southern Han Dynasty in the near future, and my nephew felt that such a beautiful princess of the Tang Kingdom would marry another country, it was a pity, but there was no other thought, and then I got acquainted with Huzhu's cousin, and learned about the absurdity of the Southern Han court, Huzhu's cousin has been depressed, and the nephew tried his best to make Huzhu's cousin happy——"

Princess Qingle said in her heart: "At first, you were against me and beat me **, is this to make me happy?" After thinking about it: "It seems to be oh, Cousin Xuan beat me ** I'm very happy, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled slightly and asked, "Did Nephew Xuan think about how to bring Hu Zhu back before he went to the Southern Han Dynasty?" ”

Zhou Xuandao: "The nephew has always kept in mind the aunt's mother's instructions before leaving——"

Xiao Zhou asked, "What did I tell you?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "My aunt's words are too bad to hear, but they can be let go cheaply, and the ministers and nephews all act according to my aunt's instructions." ”

Xiao Zhouhou laughed, his laughter was crisp and pleasant, and said: "Then, you and Hu Zhu-" Thinking that it was inconvenient to pick out this matter, he changed his words: "You have suffered a lot for Hu Zhu, since the two are happy, Hu Zhu marrying you is also a lifelong trust, when are you going to come to the gift of choice?" ”

Zhou Xuanxi said: "It's all up to my aunt's orders." ”

Xiao Zhou said: "Before the year, I did the five ceremonies of Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Naji, Nazheng, and asking for the date. ”

Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle were very happy.

Xiao Zhouhou suddenly asked: "Nephew Xuan, when is the wedding date between you and Lin Hanyun?" ”

Zhou Xuan faintly felt that it was not very good, and replied: "On the fifteenth day of the first month of next year, my nephew is going to leave for Jiangzhou as soon as the New Year is over, and he will marry Lin Hanyun in Jiangzhou. ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled: "Nephew Xuan, don't you feel too busy?" Thousands of miles to get married? ”

Zhou Xuan said cautiously: "The marriage date between the nephew and Lin Hanyun has been set in May. ”

Princess Qingle said: "No, I can't fall behind Lin Hanyun - Queen Mother, I will marry Cousin Xuan a year ago, right?" ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Zhouhou said: "How can there be a princess who marries in such a hurry, isn't it another country?" Said to Zhou Xuan: "Nephew Xuan, you marry Lin Hanyun, your aunt agrees, and your aunt also likes the lively and simple Lin Hanyun, but Lin Hanyun is younger than Hu Zhu, marrying Lin Hanyun can be postponed for half a year, and it is not too late to marry after you marry Hu Zhu in March and April next year, what does Xuan Nephew think?" ”

Princess Qingle smiled and looked at Zhou Xuan, a little proud.

Zhou Xuan's heart sank, in Quanzhou, he read the letter from Lin Hanyun brought by Lao Dong, Lin Hanyun was looking forward to him going to Jiangzhou every day, if she postponed her marriage because she wanted to marry Princess Qingle, Lin Dai naturally didn't dare to complain, but Lin Hanyun would definitely die of sadness-

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan knelt down and said: "My aunt is above, my nephew and Lin Hanyun's five rites have been decided, ask Ji Bu to have a good time, how can I change it, please let my aunt be considerate of my nephew." ”

Xiao Zhouhou brushed his sleeves and said coldly: "Think about it and think twice." "Stepping out of the door, sitting on the phoenix chariot back to the palace, and only when I arrived downstairs did I lose my anger, and I secretly wondered why I was so angry? It is also a virtue for the nephew to refuse to break his faith! But the words have come out, and she has no reason to go back to the equestrian arena to apologize to Zhou Xuan, and said in her heart: "It's okay to let him worry about it, let him understand that marrying a royal princess is not easy, and he should cherish it." ”

Princess Qingle saw that her mother was angry and left, and complained to Zhou Xuan: "Cousin Xuan, why did you make my mother angry and run away, this is troublesome." ”

Zhou Xuan got up and dusted off his robe, and said, "There is always one who comes first and then comes, which line is it!" ”

Princess Qingle rolled her eyes and asked, "What team?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Hu Zhu, you know that I like you very much, but I don't like you to bully others by relying on your status as a princess. ”

Princess Qingle said aggrievedly: "Cousin Xuan, you are partial, I am older than Lin Hanyun, naturally I am first." ”

Zhou Xuan saw that there was no one in the wooden house, so he went over and hugged Princess Qingle to comfort her, but Princess Qingle must not fall behind Lin Hanyun.

Zhou Xuan said: "But my aunt doesn't want us to get married before the year." ”

Princess Qingle said: "Then I don't care, anyway, you have to find a way." ”
