Empress Dowager Zhu's complaint, no one dared to accept it.

Cai Dao could only pretend that he didn't hear it, he got up and saluted the Empress Dowager Zhu, and quietly left the Cining Palace.

At this time, the Cining Hall is in the other direction.

Although Emperor Rouhui was kicked out without listening to what she said, the news she heard had already given her sisters enough information.

Cai Dao really rejected Empress Dowager Zhu's reward for marrying the princess to him. However, in order to alleviate the embarrassment of both parties, their Taoist brother pushed his brother out.

The third princess, Emperor Rouxian, felt pity for her sisters in her heart, but she was inexplicably happy in her heart. This feeling of no reason scared herself.

So, Emperor Rouxian took the initiative to say: "Sisters, my sister is a little tired, so I'll go back first." ”

"Sister go slowly!" The other princesses replied somewhat nonchalantly.

Only Emperor Rouhui reluctantly said: "Sister go slowly, you have to play with me tomorrow!" "Her favorite is the third sister.

"Hmmm! My sister will give you a good meal tomorrow and reward you for being an excellent little spy. Emperor Rouxian showed a rare smile, lightly tapped the forehead of the tenth sister with her hand, and then turned to leave.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhu's personal palace maid suddenly appeared in front of the princesses and said, "Several princesses, the Empress Dowager is invited." ”

After listening to the other party's words, Emperor Rouhui was shocked in her heart and asked, "Aunt Zhu, the third sister has just left, do you want to call her back?" She thought to herself that the queen mother must have to punish herself for what happened just now, and if the third sister was there, she would definitely be able to persuade the queen mother.

The old palace maid surnamed Zhu shook her head and said softly: "Ten princesses, don't worry, the Queen Mother is called your three sisters, you can play outside for a while, and go back to the Queen Mother to eat!" ”

"Great! Goodbye to the fifth sister, the sixth sister, and the eighth sister! After speaking, Emperor Rouhui quickly sat on the sliding rod, commanded a group of little eunuchs and palace maids, and left quickly. She was afraid that her mother would repent and punish herself.

When they arrived at the Decining Palace, the three princesses saluted the Empress Dowager Zhu, and then stood quietly in front of the queen mother, and their hearts were a little uneasy.

Empress Dowager Zhu looked at her three daughters kindly, and said gently: "Presumably you have already received a message from Rouhui!" Your Taoist brother has clearly rejected the kindness of the mourning family. Now, let your hearts die! Don't think too much about it when you go back today, and in three days, there will be a poetry meeting at the nursery school.

At that time, the young talents of the whole capital will gather there, and the mourning family will allow you to choose your own husband. You can choose one or several on the spot. When you reach the age of sixteen, whoever passes through the investigation will follow your wishes. ”

"Queen Mother!" But as soon as Empress Dowager Zhu's words fell, Emperor Roufu and Emperor Roushou took a step forward at the same time, stood up, and said to Empress Dowager Zhu.

"Why, the mourning family has given you so much authority, are you two still not satisfied? Compared to you, your third sister doesn't have the right to choose at all! It seems that the mourning family has indulged you too much in the past. Seeing these two daughters jump out so quickly, Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart and scolded.

"Queen Mother, you misunderstood me. My daughter just wants to ask you for one thing, can you give my daughter a portrait of the brother of the Taoist brother who came here just now? "Emperor Roushou, who has always been timid, actually said such bold words in front of everyone, and she did it in one go, which really impressed her two sisters and mother!

Empress Dowager Zhu of course felt very strange, but she did not immediately reply to Emperor Rouhou's request, but turned her gaze to Emperor Roufu and asked, "So, Roufu, what did you want to say just now?" ”

"The queen mother, the daughter and the sixth sister actually mean the same thing!" Emperor Roufu didn't expect that her sixth sister would actually go with her.

Actually, just now, the fifth princess and the sixth princess had already understood what Cai Dao meant from the information brought by Emperor Rouhui. However, the two of them also thought of another situation, since Cai Dao could bring all his brothers into the palace, he must have asked them about their wishes in advance.

This point is particularly important to Emperor Roufu, Cai Dao's brother is willing to come even though he knows it, which means that the Cai brothers must not mind their own situation.

This is the reason why Emperor Roufu wanted the portraits of Cai You and Cai Shan.

As for why Emperor Roushou also thinks so, Empress Dowager Zhu and Emperor Roufu don't know.

In fact, Emperor Roushou thought more simply than others, since he and his Taoist brother could not become husband and wife. Then, it is also a good choice to become a relative of the Taoist brother.

What's more, Emperor Roushou trusted Cai Dao's vision very much, and she believed that since he dared to bring his brothers to Empress Dowager Zhu, it meant that he was very optimistic that these two brothers would be a good match for the princesses.

Emperor Roumei looked at her two sisters, she really didn't understand, what did the two of them want the portraits of those two people for? Since the queen mother lets them choose, isn't that a good thing?

Empress Dowager Zhu also couldn't guess the thoughts of her two daughters for a while, but she still agreed: "Okay, the mourning family will agree to your request." Your Taoist brother will definitely do this properly. ”

Although Cai Dao is not good at drawing, he has cultivated many children who are good at drawing characters in Cai's school. It is most suitable for him to leave this matter to the person who provoked the trouble.

The three princesses returned to their dormitories one after another, and halfway through, the two sisters asked the two sisters why they wanted to paint the portraits, but for the first time, the two sisters did not give any answer to her question. It was shy enough to say such a thing once in front of their queen mother, how could they say it again?

Empress Dowager Zhu did not hide her decision from Zhao Xu, and after Cai Dao left the palace, she informed the emperor of the details.

If Empress Dowager Zhu agreed to Cai Dao's request on the spot, Zhao Xu would not agree to such an absurd thing even if he contradicted Empress Dowager Zhu.

However, since Empress Dowager Zhu used the method of poetry to let several princesses choose, Zhao Xu naturally couldn't object.

So, three days later, a poetry party was held in the nursery school, and the news of choosing a husband for the three princesses spread from the palace.

Cai You and Cai Shan, who got the news, were naturally a little disappointed, but then Cai Dao told them something exciting news.

The fifth princess and the sixth princess actually took the initiative to ask the queen mother for the portraits of the two of them.
