Not to mention that after Shangguan Yu returned to the Han Palace, the Han princess asked for warmth, which made the Han King jealous, and the father and son were facing each other secretly, which was diametrically opposed to the deep father-son relationship when they were at the border.

After Shangguan Yu learned that Princess Yayang might be a candidate for harmony, he only said a word to reassure Princess Yayang, and did not say whether he had a plan, but he gave several instructions to the secret guard that night.

The next day, Shangguan Yu was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study to inquire about the border gates, and lunch was also left in the palace.

Tomorrow is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and Princess Yayang no longer wants to return to the palace of bondage, so she has to go back.

"Yayang is seventeen this year, right?" After the formulaic birthday greeting, the Queen Mother looked at Princess Yayang and asked.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Princess Yayang, some were sad for her, and some were gloating.

"Sister Ming Fei left early and failed to watch Yayang grow up. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yayang's birthday is turned seventeen, and the concubines have begun to count the treasury these days, so as to prepare a thicker dowry for Yayang. ”

Between the queen's words, it is full of emotion that my family has a woman who has just grown up.

"There is a grandmother of Emperor Lao, Yayang was born young, and now he is only fifteen years old."

Princess Yayang got up and saluted the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother respectively.

"Thank you for the queen mother's sake, it's just that my father once said that he would stay in Yayang for a few more years, and then recruit horses when he reached twenty, but let the queen mother take care of things for a few more years."

Princess Yayang's face was slightly red, and after speaking, she lowered her head and sat down, looking like a little daughter who was teased.

The queen nodded with a smile, as if Princess Yayang's words did not hit her in the face, and she was elegant and noble.

"The concubine also heard the emperor say that she would stay in Yayang for a few more years. Sister Concubine Ming is not here, we sisters have to keep up with the queen's mother, and we can't be wronged by the emperor's pearl. ”

Concubine Xiao and Concubine Ming are handkerchiefs, both of them are favored by the emperor because of their status, but they are also the thorn in the side of the other concubines, which is the queen......

If someone else said this, it would be to pull hatred for Princess Yayang.

But Concubine Xiao is well versed in the way of the harem, and only those who are really favored, or not favored at all, can live better.

The former is that no one dares to offend, at least not on the surface, and the minions will also flatter.

The latter is that no one will pay attention, although the life is harder, but the chance of survival is greater, but no one wants to be the latter, which will mean a lonely life.

No matter what the concubines think in their hearts, they can only say generously at this moment, there are not a few people who secretly hate Concubine Xiao's troubles, but Concubine Xiao doesn't care.

The emperor took Shangguan Yu to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother for lunch, and also took this opportunity to celebrate her birthday.

"When I was in the courtyard, I heard laughter, and if there was anything to be happy about, tell me about it." The emperor strode towards the Queen Mother and bowed his head to say goodbye.

"The concubines see the emperor."

"The son of the emperor greets his father."

Under the leadership of the queen, all the concubines and princesses greeted the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand to let everyone be exempted.

Shangguan Yu also wants to greet the Queen Mother and the Empress, and others do not need to bow alone.

"Give a seat to the prince of Shangguan." The Emperor said.

"Your Majesty." Shangguan Yu lowered his eyes slightly and didn't look at anyone.

"Ziyuan hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time, right? It's more and more like your father was when he was younger. The Queen Mother said with a smile to show her affection.

"The mother concubine often said so, but Ziyuan has not been angry since he was a child, and he is not as good as his father in this life." Shangguan Yu replied with a glance.

The Queen Mother cared for a few more words, then stopped talking to Shangguan Yu, but continued the previous topic.

"The father said that he would stay in Yayang for a few more years, and now the queen mother and the concubines are making fun of Yayang, and the father can't bully his sons and ministers together, otherwise, ...... Otherwise, how would the retainer dare to walk out of the palace. ”

After the audience joked, Princess Yayang said.

The emperor glanced at Princess Yayang deeply, and said with a smile: "The daughter is not in the middle, although the father is reluctant to leave you, but there is a suitable candidate, and you can't miss it, otherwise how can you explain to your mother?" ”

"My father is the Son of Heaven, and Chrysostom can't go back. Erchen just wants to stay with his father for a few more years, if his father should not, Erchen will go to Huangjue Temple to lead the practice, and pray for his father and grandmother every day. ”

Princess Yayang said aggrievedly.

"Look at the queen mother, I don't know who this girl's temperament looks like! I have so many princesses, she dares to be petty with me. The emperor pointed to Princess Yayang and said, but there was a little helplessness in his words.

"That's also the emperor's favorite." The Queen Mother said in a light tone.

"My father and mother once said that the princess's temperament is most similar to that of her aunt." The silent Shangguan Yu spoke up.

The emperor frowned, as if he remembered the late Concubine Ming, and there was a little sadness between his eyebrows.

The Queen Mother's hand was stunned, and she waved her hand to withdraw the dishes in front of her, obviously without appetite.

Unlike the previous mention of Concubine Ming, the atmosphere at this moment was obviously depressed, and everyone was unwilling to take the lead in breaking the silence.

It was originally a family banquet for the royal family, and it was inconvenient for Shangguan Yu to stay for a long time.

After only sitting for a stick of incense, Shangguan Yu, the king of the cold field, said goodbye and left the palace.

Princess Yayang also wanted to leave, but her identity did not allow it.

"Is the imperial sister afraid of being sent to kiss? The royal sister has heard that two of the princes who came to ask for marriage this time are very handsome, and they will have the opportunity to become princes in the future. "The daughter of the concubine, Princess Suya said in a low voice.

"Does the royal sister hate to marry? Since the royal sister thinks it is good, why don't the royal sister show her father and make the royal sister as she wishes? "Princess Yayang has always been at odds with Princess Suya, and she went back coldly.

"The royal sister has not yet married, where is the turn of the imperial sister? The royal sister really loves to laugh. Princess Suya changed her face a little uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to speak loudly.

"The royal family has never paid attention to these rules, I am just a princess without a mother, and the mother of the royal sister is a noble concubine, and there is the support of a foreign family, so I want to be more suitable for a family. And this palace never likes to tell jokes, especially for those who like to play smart, it's better to be straightforward. ”

Princess Yayang picked up the wine glass, and her slightly cold gaze was reflected in the reflection of the wine.

After Shangguan Yu left the palace, he wanted to find Bai Ling, but he met the third prince who was playing with the prince of Fanbang, so he was invited to go with him.

"Ziyuan came out of the palace at this hour, he must have no lunch, right? It just so happens that we are going to Hongming Restaurant to eat and listen to music, Ziyuan wants to go with him? ”

When the third prince faced Shangguan Yu, he was always very enthusiastic.

"Hongming Restaurant? The richest man in Zixiao City, the Duan family? Shangguan Yu asked pretending not to know.

"Exactly." The eyes of the three princes were locked on Shangguan Yu's face, as if they wanted to discover something.

"Did the Duan family's restaurant also sing songs?" Shangguan Yu twisted his eyebrows, dismounted and said, "Then let's go together." ”

"This is the prince of the Han Dynasty, Shangguan Yu." Although the three princes were unexpected, they still dutifully introduced the princes of Fanbang.

The particularity of the Han Palace, but any country that pays attention to the Eastern Han Kingdom, the royal family must know it.

In particular, the matter of borrowing grain from the border pass has attracted much attention, and the princes are also a little curious about Shangguan Yu, so the group walked to the restaurant, which is also convenient to appreciate the street scene and humanity of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
