Chapter 96: Husband Candidate
On the West Mountain. Xu Zishu lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for everyone.
Nangong Yu got up and sniffed it, took a sip, there was a faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, and asked, "What kind of tea is this?" β
Xu Zishu said: "Bamboo leaf tea. When I was in the college, I picked fresh and tender bamboo leaves from Beizhu Mountain and dried them. β
Nangong You's gaze moved with Xu Zishu's hand, and wherever her hand was raised, his gaze would see. The more Nangong You looked at it, the more she felt that Xu Zishu's hand was similar to Yan'er's hand.
Xu Zishu noticed King Xuan's gaze, always staring at his hand. Does King Xuan like her hands?
Thinking in his heart, Xu Zishu raised his hand and combed the hair on the sideburns, revealing his pink ears. Many people praised her for her good ears and the ears of blessed people.
Nangong You saw Xu Zishu's ears, and his brows were almost invisible and slightly wrinkled.
Seeing that ear and matching that hand, Nangong You's thoughts suddenly returned to reality. He grinds with Yan'er's ears and temples every day, and he is very familiar with Yan'er's ears. Yan'er's ears are white and thin, not at all like the fleshy ears in front of her.
Nangong You retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the hand. He didn't know what was wrong with him today, why he kept paying attention to the pair of hands. Just because the action of making tea in that hand is very similar to Yan'er?
Nangong You felt that she would not be able to jump out of Ye Xiaoyan's palm in her life. Obviously angry with her, obviously determined to give her some awesome color to see. But as soon as he turned around, he relented again.
Remembering that she would be in the carriage before, Yan'er wiped her tears and said, "I want to go home." At that time, Nangong You felt that Ye Xiaoyan was angry with him.
remembered Yan'er's petite appearance in the carriage to hug, and she said "You don't love me anymore". Nangong You suddenly felt that maybe it was because she was cold to her, which made her feel that her side was not her home.
Xu Zishu saw that His Royal Highness King Xuan saw her brushing her sideburns with her hand, so she stopped looking at her hand, and was a little puzzled. Could it be that His Royal Highness Xuan Wang doesn't like her ears?
Nangong You wanted to go back. He drank the tea in his cup and said, "Let's go down the mountain." β
Xu Zishu was slightly stunned, not long after he sat down, and before he started to enjoy the flowers, why did His Royal Highness King Xuan suddenly want to leave.
Xiao Yuhan didn't want to stay long, and when he heard Nangong You say this, he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's not too early, it's time to go down the mountain." β
Xu Zishu looked at the sun, it's probably not time yet, it's still early, what's wrong with these two.
She thought that just now, when she showed her ears, His Royal Highness King Xuan would no longer look at her, and she was a little annoyed in her heart. It seems that His Royal Highness King Xuan does not like her ears.
Thinking of this, she pretended to unconsciously comb her sideburns, covered her ears, and said, "We haven't enjoyed the flowers yet, it's a pity not to appreciate such a beautiful scenery." β
In fact, she also prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, ready to write poems and paint.
Xiao Yuhan said: "Haven't you enjoyed it all the way here!" We've all seen enough and can go. β
Xu Zishu was swallowed by Xiao Shizi's words, and secretly bit his lip.
Xu Zishu's father wanted to choose a good family affair for her, Xu's father knew that his daughter was arrogant and thought about her future happiness, so he let her choose herself, and when his daughter had a candidate in her heart, Xu's father would come forward to make peace.
Xu Zishu has always been proud of the Xu family's queen and the current queen mother. Her husband must be a member of the royal family.
The eldest prince is the most promising to be the emperor in the future, but the eldest prince is too much older than her, and when the eldest prince got married, she was only a little girl of seven or eight years old. Even if she is now married to the eldest prince as a side concubine, the main concubine Zhao Yayun is the niece of the current Empress Zhao. The Zhao family is powerful, the Xu family is weak, even if she can fight Zhao Yayun personally, without the support of family snobbery, she can't be the queen.
As for the second prince, in her opinion, he is just a mediocre person, and the eldest son has been born, Xu Zishu does not consider it.
As for the third prince, he was a cripple before, and he didn't think about it.
The four princes did not get married, and their age matched her, but the four princes were more mediocre and incompetent than the second princes, and Xu Zishu couldn't look down on them.
The only thing she still looks up to is Xiao Shizi, the future heir of "King Xiao". Although the Xiao family has a rule of not marrying powerful ministers in the court, her father is just a powerless, incompetent and talentless squire in the Ministry of Rites, who was reluctantly promoted by his grandmother, and is not a powerful minister. As long as Xiao Shizi is won, she believes that the rules of the Xiao family can be changed.
After several temptations by her, Princess Xiao seemed to be tempted, and she also intended to let her have more contact with Xiao Shizi, but Xiao Shizi was distant and alienated from her, and she didn't seem to have any intention of being male or female.
To be honest, in fact, she doesn't like Xiao Shizi either. They have too many temperaments and hobbies. Talking to Xiao Shizi, she often has a feeling of playing the piano with a cow, and she is very powerless. is also a "double hero of mountains and rivers", there is no demeanor that an outstanding talent should have. If it weren't for his identity as the son of King Xiao, Xu Zishu wouldn't be able to look down on him.
King Xuan, who suddenly joined today, saw King Xuan's attention to her, Xu Zishu's heart was alive, maybe it would be good to marry King Xuan.
Although King Xuan already has a concubine, I heard that she is a concubine of the Ye family. A little girl, in Xu Zishu's view, is not an obstacle at all. And it will be at the bottom of the mountain before, when King Xuan just arrived, she happened to hear Xiao Shizi ask about Princess Xuan, King Xuan was angry and said not to mention that woman, saying that Princess Xuan was getting more and more excessive, and said that she would teach Princess Xuan a lesson. It seems that the relationship between King Xuan and Princess Xuan is not good.
It's easy to do now, even if she marries into the Xuanwang Mansion in the name of the side concubine, the little concubine has no choice but to stand aside, and when she gives birth to the eldest son of the Xuanwang, the position of the concubine will be hers sooner or later.
At this time, Xu Zishu no longer cares about Xiao Shizi, she cares more about King Xuan.
Since King Xuan said to go down the mountain, let's go down the mountain. She also prepared a banquet in Guangju Building, and it will be the same when the time comes.
Duan Haoqi finally came here, and she was about to leave without enjoying the beautiful scenery, she felt that it was not cost-effective, so she said to Nangong You: "Brother You, people's legs are so sore, let's play for a while!" β
Nangong Youchong Duan Haoqi said sharply: "How old are you, and you are still coquettish like a child." β
"You appreciate it slowly, this king will go first." After saying that, get up and say go.
"Wait for me." Xiao Yuhan hurriedly got up and chased after him.
Duan Haoqi was stunned.
She was also yelled at by her brother when she was a child. However, she was yelled at and cried a few times, and Brother You no longer yelled at her, but was very tolerant of her like her own brother. I don't know what's going on today, Brother You yelled at her again like he did when he first took her to play when he was a child.
Duan Haoqi looked at Duan Haoran pitifully and asked, "Brother, did I make Brother You angry?" β
Duan Haoran shook his head helplessly and said, "You are not young anymore, don't be coquettish like you did when you were a child." β
"Can't you be coquettish too?"
"Yes, I can, whoever calls me your own brother. But for other brothers, I still don't want it. βγ
"Oh." Duan Haoqi's mouth should be.
