Emperor Hong Zheng smiled dumbly, thought a lot for a moment, and said with a puzzled face: "Miao Jiang Holy Maiden, do you know Xiao Yao?" ”

"I know, he used to be a guest in our village. He said that if I went to his house one day, he would welcome me with his shoes upside down. ”

Hua Yaoyao said vaguely, and Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't even guess what it meant, and looked at Emperor Hong Zheng.

Emperor Hong Zheng was still erudite and tentatively said: "Is it to meet each other?" ”

"Yes, almost, that's what it means. Is Xiao Yao in the palace? Where does he live? ”

Hua Xiaoxiao was very excited, clapping her hands and rejoicing, the little daughter's undisguised coquettishness made Empress Dowager Zhong's heart stiff and very unhappy.

Empress Dowager Zhong, who originally thought Xiao Yao was good, instantly gave him the lowest score.

"Hua Yao, you came all the way for him like this, and Xiao Yao is an unmarried couple? Or is there an oath in advance? ”

Although Hua Yaoyao doesn't understand Da Zhou's dialect very well, she can still hear these two sentences clearly and easily. replied seriously: "Queen Mother, there is no mountain alliance and sea oath, we are friends." ”

"Friends? The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, don't say any friends, maybe now Xiao Yao has made a marriage and has a sweetheart? Isn't that a little inconvenient? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong now regards Xiao Yao as Gu Fanghua's candidate for husband, so naturally she will not let others get involved.

Hua Yaoyao was categorically sure: "Impossible!" Xiao Yao said that he does not yearn for the love between men and women, and it is impossible to marry, let alone have a sweetheart. ”

"Miao Jiang Holy Maiden, there is an ancient saying in the Great Zhou, called: This time, that time. Nothing is impossible. ”

Hua Yaoyao's expression changed slightly, and finally said firmly: "Queen Mother, I don't believe it!" I want to see Xiao Yao, now, right away! I'm going to see Xiao Yao. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong slowly picked up the tea and took a sip gently, but she didn't say anything and didn't care about her rudeness.

Emperor Hong Zheng also had a little headache, and said with a smile: "Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, this is not something that I and the Queen Mother can do. Xiao Yao returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and visit relatives a few years ago, and he returned to Liaodong and was not in the capital. ”

Hua Yaoyao was a little aggrieved, she came all the way to the capital, but she didn't expect Xiao Yao to be in Jincheng.

"Your Majesty, when will Xiao Yao come back?"

Emperor Hong Zheng was not very clear, and Yan Rongling's letter did not say it, so he could only ask Empress Dowager Zhong with an inquiring eye.

Empress Dowager Zhong said with a smile: "Xiao Yao should be back in March and April, if the saint is free, she might as well stay in Da Zhou for a while." ”

"It's okay, I'll wait for him."

After Hua Yao retreated, Empress Dowager Zhong said to Emperor Hong Zheng: "Emperor, it seems that this Xiao Yao is unreliable, and there are peach blossom debts everywhere. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, I believe that Xiao Yao is not ruthless, so let's wait for him to come back."

With Emperor Hong Zheng's words, Empress Dowager Zhong was relieved, anyway, when Mingzhu came back, she would be the princess of Mingzhu, and she didn't have to worry about a little Miaojiang saintess.

After there were no outsiders in Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhong was still not at ease, and immediately asked people to send a message to Liaodong.

"Queen Mother, how could Marquis Xiao marry a foreign woman. According to the slave maid, this is just a one-sided lovesickness between the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang and Marquis Xiao. ”

Mama Fang's words made the Queen Mother still feel uneasy, and even turned her anger on Xiao Yao. In the past, I thought Xiao Yao was good, but now I hate it everywhere.

Xiao Yao, who was innocently lying on the gun, came to greet his grandmother, Lord Fuling, on the night of the Shangyuan Festival.

"Grandmother and grandson have greeted you."

"Xiao Yao, you came just in time. I've got everything almost ready, so let's see when we set a time to set off. ”

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "Everyone else doesn't matter, it's just that Brother Zhong is seriously injured, and now he has not recovered from his injuries, and he can't go on the road together." ”

"Then you mean, you're going to wait for them together."

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Grandmother, yes." If I could, I would also plan to walk ahead of the Gyeonggi battalion, which would be a few dozen miles behind us, so that it would be convenient to rescue in case of an accident. ”

"This is okay, our luggage is a bit much, and it was estimated at the beginning that it would take fifty carriages to take one-third of it."

Recently, the lord of Fuling County has been very busy with the matter of moving his family back to Beijing.

Xiao Yao thought about the huge Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and in the future, only Xiao Lei's family would be left, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Grandmother, don't bring anything you can or not, you will have it in the capital when the time comes. We'd better travel lightly and wait until we get back to the capital to pick a good purchase. ”

The lord of Fuling is in good spirits when it comes to happy events, and now the Xiao family has two marquis, and she, the lady, has no second person in the country.

"Okay, it's up to you. Now that the emperor's grace is vast, and you are exempted from worrying, you must serve the emperor well when you return to Beijing, and live up to his promotion. ”

"I know, grandmother. You also need to rest more, you need to take care of your body after a long journey back to Beijing. ”

The two ancestors and grandsons said some warm words, and the county lord of Fuling thought about it, and the topic turned to the county lord of Mingzhu. What Gu Fanghua has done recently, as well as all her dealings with the two princes, including Ye Shisan, have all been heard of by the Lord of Fuling.

"Yao'er, now you are the youngest Yingyi Marquis in the Great Zhou. It's better for you to settle your relationship with the lord of Mingzhu County as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Yao's face was slightly red, but he still refused: "Grandmother, now that I am still in the filial piety period, how can I talk about marriage?" ”

"There are still marriages during the filial piety period, do you want to do it?"

The lord of Fuling County is afraid of long nights and dreams, and the fifth prince Yan Shaoxun is not afraid, but the sixth prince Yan Rongling is more troublesome. If he really likes Gu Fanghua, he can't let Xiao Yao marry Gu Fanghua, otherwise he will offend the future emperor and cut off his future.

Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, but still said: "Grandmother, the marriage appointment during the period of filial piety is too hasty. Generally, it is Chongxi, or the woman is lowly like this. The county lord should not suffer this grievance. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Grandmother, I want to wait until the three-year filial piety period has passed, and then I will come to the door to ask for marriage in person. In this way, one is more solemn, and the other is that Mingzhu is still young, let her think about it clearly. ”

Xiao Yao's single-mindedness, thinking about Gu Fanghua, made the Fuling County Lord's heart stagnate.

The son is an infatuated character, is the grandson too?

Lord Fuling's face sank, in the past few decades, having a son is equivalent to the days of not having a son, she has had enough! If Xiao Yao still respects Gu Fanghua everywhere, then what face does she, the lady, have to talk about?

"Xiao Yao, since you know that the Lord of Mingzhu is still young, have you considered other young ladies of the same age? After all, you're not too small. ”

Xiao Yao immediately said: "Grandmother, grandson thinks that the Lord of Mingzhu is very good. It's not too late to talk about it in three years. ”

"Yao'er, what if grandmother wants you to marry now?"

Xiao Yao was taken aback, unable to understand his grandmother's sudden displeasure, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
