1306: The crown prince chooses a concubine

Xiao Jiuqi picked up his daughter, threw her in the air and caught it, the father and daughter especially liked this game of throwing high, and the yard was full of laughter from their grandfather.

Fu Yuanling stood aside and watched, with a big smile on his face, and waited until it was getting dark, and the two of them were finally crazy enough, so they were willing to go back to the house.

Fu Yuanling had to ask the nurse to take Xiyue back to change her clothes, and she had to wash her clothes after playing like crazy for so long.

Xiao Jiuqi went back to the main courtyard and was also taken to take a bath by Fu Yuanling, and she went into the inner room to get clean clothes for him.

Picking out a dark blue tufted long coat and a snow-white cocoon silk coat, she lifted the curtain of the clean room and put the clothes on the small table for him and quickly withdrew.

The two of them are still keeping filial piety for their mother, and Xiao Jiuqi is young and hot, so it's better to avoid it.

Xiao Jiuqi in the room looked at his daughter-in-law who fled from the desert, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he could still bear it if he kept filial piety to his mother, and he could still bear it after being a monk for three years.

When Xiao Jiuqi came out, Fu Yuanling had already asked people to start setting up dinner, Xiyue was sitting there obediently at this time, and when she saw her father coming out, she jumped off the chair and ran over with her little short legs.

Fu Yuanling walked over and sat down in front of the two of them, served food to Xiyue and put it in front of her, and served porridge to Xiao Jiuqi, and then said: "The prince's mansion has a banquet, and the princess has given me an invitation, why do you suddenly want to set up a banquet, do you know?" ”

Xiyue's eating habits are very good, she has to sit there well-behaved, and her eating movements are very delicate, which is completely different from the appearance of the little madman in the afternoon.

After all, although Fu Yuanling is a loving mother, she is still very bluffing in terms of rules and etiquette.

Xiyue was naughty and disobedient when she was a child, and she was really punished by Fu Yuanling, and since then she knows that her mother and mother in their family can't mess with people, and the consequences of provoking it are very serious.

Xiao Jiuqi glanced at Fu Yuanling when he heard this, and then said silently: "The East Palace wants to choose a side concubine and Liangdi, and this banquet is to see each other." ”

Fu Yuanling looked at Xiao Jiuqi in astonishment.

Xiao Jiuqi squeezed out a smile and looked at his wife, "I know that you have a good relationship with the fourth sister-in-law, but now that the fourth brother is already the prince, according to the rules of the East Palace, it is indeed necessary to fill the East Palace, and it is rare to choose only one side concubine and Liangdi." ”

Seeing that Fu Yuanling didn't speak, Xiao Jiuqi was also a little uncomfortable, thought about it and said: "If you don't choose, those old things will attack the fourth sister-in-law for being jealous, and the fourth brother has no son-in-law, if the hat of jealousy is buckled on the fourth sister-in-law's head and makes a big fuss, maybe the position of the crown princess will not be saved." ”

Fu Yuanling knew that what Xiao Jiuqi said was the truth, as the fourth brother of the prince, he could resist the pressure of Concubine Li Defei and not accept concubines, but as the prince, the fourth brother was the prince of Daqian, every move, and the housework of the East Palace was also a court matter.

Fu Yuanling looked at Xiao Jiuqi, "A group of nosy people, the fourth sister-in-law is not easy. ”

Xiao Jiuqi looked at his daughter-in-law and closed her mouth decisively, how can the fourth brother be a prince without a son, this is a big deal, and he can't have a child's affection.

Like him, what is the prince, so if anyone dares to beep him and not accept a concubine, he can kick it out.

But the prince can't do it, it's too hard, and family affairs have become a court matter, but anyone with an official hat on his head can open his mouth to give a few words, and he can still watch strongly.

Tsk, it's really pitiful.

Fu Yuanling felt a little sorry for her when she thought of Xu Xiuning, but Xiao Jiuqi was right about this kind of thing, their husband and wife could not mix, and the continuation of the national lineage was a big deal.

Xiyue was a little sleepy after eating, and she was tired from playing crazy all afternoon.

Fu Yuanling picked her up and sent her to her small boudoir for placement, and only then went back to the main room when she fell asleep.

Xiao Jiuqi was holding a case file and didn't know what he was reading, Fu Yuanling didn't feel sleepy when he had something in his heart, so he took Wan Jinglin's account book and looked through it to accompany him.

Xiao Jiuqi finished his busy work, raised his head and saw his daughter-in-law in a daze in front of the account book, obviously distracted and didn't know what she was thinking.

He closed the file in his hand, put everything away, dragged Fu Yuanling into his arms and hugged her and said, "Don't think about it, it's useless to think about it again." ”

Fu Yuanling looked sideways at Xiao Jiuqi, "I'm just thinking, what if the fourth brother can't give birth to a son after accepting the crown prince and concubine Liangdi?" ”

After all, the fourth brother's health is not very good, and he has only given birth to one Ruizhu after so many years of loving the fourth sister-in-law.

Xiao Jiuqi was stunned, he never thought that his fourth brother would not be able to give birth to a son!

"Won't it?" Xiao Jiuqi laughed dryly, how could the fourth brother be so miserable?

Definitely not!

Fu Yuanling glanced at him, thought about it for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Think about it, the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law have been married for so many years, and there is only one Ruizhu, and the husband and wife are harmonious, it doesn't mean that the fourth brother doesn't let the fourth sister-in-law give birth." Can't the fourth sister-in-law give birth, and other women can easily give birth to a son when they enter the door? ”

Hmph, the fourth brother's body was born weak, and he finally raised it better, but now the court affairs are heavy, and he is busy like a spinning top during the day, and a group of old ministers have to keep an eye on the things in people's accounts at night, so they are not afraid that the fourth brother's body will not be able to resist?

Xiao Jiuqi's subtle gaze at his daughter-in-law, the two couples had a clear heart, and he immediately understood!

But he couldn't help it for the time being, so he sighed and hugged his daughter-in-law, "So being a prince is just annoying." ”

Or is he a good life, he didn't have to be a prince by nature!

There is no way, his life is good, and it is useless for the fourth brother to envy him.

What is the truth of the matter in the cat and dog room is not conclusive now, it is all Fu Yuanling's own speculation, and now Xiao Jiuqi is also busy, Fu Yuanling didn't tell him, and it is not too late to tell him when he finds out something.

Now Xiao Jiuqi is forced to move forward and share his worries for his fourth brother, although he is very unwilling, but he can't see that his fourth brother is tired of becoming a dog, so he still grits his teeth and goes on his own.

Fu Yuanling has Wan Jinglin's affairs here, as well as the western suburbs workshop, plus the Fu family's original business, he is also rare to have leisure.

On the day of the banquet in the East Palace, Fu Yuanling got up early to dress up, chose a lake blue gold dress, combed a peony bun in his hair, and hairpinned a pair of three-winged phoenix hairpins with red gold inlaid treasures.

Compared with the princess's pomp, her outfit is already very plain.

Got on the carriage all the way to the East Palace, Pear Blossom and Osmanthus helped the princess get out of the car, and the palace people of the East Palace were waiting at the door, and they saw the carriage of King Jin's Mansion hurriedly greeted them.

Respectfully sent Princess Jin to the second gate, Qinghe was already waiting, and when she saw Princess Jin, she greeted her with a smile, "The crown princess asked the slave maid to wait for the princess here, you come with me." ”

Fu Yuanling was very familiar with Qinghe, and there was no restraint in his speech, so he asked with a smile: "The crown princess is busy today, will Mrs. Annanhou come over to help?" ”

said that it was to help, Fu Yuanling just wanted to ask Mrs. Annanhou if she would come over to help see people, after all, the woman who entered the East Palace would have to compete with Xu Xiuning for favor in the future.
