Reception Banquet (1)

The eldest princess Huiren, who has been married for many years, returned to Kyoto in Bactria after a long absence in the early morning of one day.

Looking at the towering city wall in the morning light, the light shining under her eyes, the eldest princess Huiren muttered, "It's like the day of her wedding." ”

Emperor Xining met his eldest sister and niece Danyu County Lord, whom he had not seen for many years, in the Qianqing Palace.

When the eldest princess Huiren was not married, she had a deep relationship with Emperor Xining's sisters and brothers.

In order to consolidate his throne and marry the head of the Jiang family, Shu was able to stabilize for decades, and the sacrifice and dedication of the eldest princess Huiren was a large part.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, I don't care about the difference between the monarch and the minister, the sisters and brothers talk about the situation after the farewell, and Jiang Yu has fun, but it is close to joy.

The concubine went to the East Palace alone to meet the prince Ji Yuan of the current dynasty, and the two talked for a long time, and the content was unknown.

This Emperor Xining and the eldest princess went to meet the Queen Mother.

Previously, the eldest princess Huiren heard rumors that the queen mother was "not safe in the phoenix body", and now she looks very good

"Yu'er, come forward." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand kindly, with a genuine smile on her face, which made her originally noble and graceful temperament a little more approachable.

"Grandmother." Jiang Yu responded sweetly, and rushed to her lap and sat down.

The Queen Mother looked carefully, the little girl's face was like a disc, her eyes were full of aura, her cheeks were ruddy, and she couldn't help nodding. "You little leather monkey, you really haven't changed at all."

"Mother doesn't know, this child is just like a little overlord in Shudi, and I can't do anything about her with my concubine." Princess Huiren said with a headache.

Jiang Yu is spicy and stubborn, and his personality is also like a boy, he sneaks out to make trouble all day long, and the mess is cleaned up one after another.

Hearing that his mother began to count himself again, Jiang Yu was a little unhappy, pouting and not speaking, his cheeks bulging, like a little hamster.

Looking at her like this, Emperor Xining suddenly became happy and helped Jiang Yu speak, "The child is not restrained by nature, and you don't have to be strict with her." ”

Jiang Yu's black eyes rolled, and he nodded thoughtfully, "Exactly, my uncle is very right." ”

The Queen Mother nodded her smooth forehead and said earnestly, "But your mother is also reasonable, and the girls' family should not be too noisy." In the future, it is necessary to allow others. ”

"Yu'er doesn't want to get married!" As soon as Jiang Yu said this, he said excitedly, "Yu'er wants to accompany her grandmother all the time!" ”

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother taught with a straight face, "If you don't marry, you will become an old girl!" ”

"Mother doesn't know, this child is crazy, and I can't do anything about saying these shocking things all day long." The eldest princess of Huiren heard that Jiang Yu began to talk nonsense again, and took the opportunity to sue.

"It's ridiculous!" The Queen Mother reprimanded, "This girl, don't worry, I will find a good husband for her." ”

Hearing her mother's promise, Princess Huiren was a little relieved.

Jiang Yu looked defeated.

"Where's my cousin? Why didn't you see him coming? Jiang Yu hung his head for a while, and then came back to life full of blood and looked around.

"You just have your cousin in your heart." The Queen Mother scolded with a smile. He immediately asked Emperor Xining, "What about the prince?" ”

"The concubine is discussing with the prince in the East Palace, presumably delayed." Emperor Xining replied, Ji Yuan is diligent, since he let him supervise the country, he often watched the music until late at night, which he knew and recognized.

"In that case, let him be busy first. Don't disturb him doing business. The Queen Mother made the final decision, and Jiang Yu was not going to the East Palace to make a fuss, so she only listened to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess talking from the sidelines.

————---------------------------I was the dividing line drawn by my little cousin----------————————

Two days ago - the Duke of Chu Mansion

"You know what your aunt means now." Zhu Chongguang's face was solemn.

The younger sister sent a message from the palace, intending to let the eldest son marry Huo Gang's daughter.

He looked at his son in front of him and asked.

"Auntie's meaning should be to prevent Ji Yuan from entrapping Huo Xiang." Zhu Xiujin knew Zhu Guifei's thoughts very well, and said a word.

"Your aunt still wants to respect your choice." Zhu Chongguang sighed and burned the letter on the candle flame.

"My son was born in the Duke of Chu State, and he didn't dare to leave his family behind." Zhu Xiujin is only a champion year, and he should have been a young man with fresh clothes and angry horses, but he put his family first in his heart.

"If needed, the son is willing to give his life for the family, let alone marriage." Zhu Xiujin was silent for two seconds, and then said categorically.

"My father knows that you have been sensible since you were a child." Zhu Chongguang nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard, and asked, "You can't do this, do you know?" ”

Zhu Xiujin thought for a moment and said, "The imperial court has set up two prime ministers, left and right, which is already a check and balance for the emperor, and the right prime minister is already our camp. ”

"Is there anything else you can't do?" Zhu Chongguang thought about the first in his heart, but he didn't expect that there would be a second.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been close to women for so many years, but he is only good to the girls of the Huo family." Zhu Xiujin slowly analyzed, "We can think of things that will make the emperor suspicious, how could the prince not think of it?" But he did it anyway. ”

"Then there is only one explanation, the prince must be a little sincere to the girl of the Huo family." Zhu Xiujin and Ji Yuan don't have a deep relationship, but as two people who are very good in their generation, they always have observations. "If the son robs the girl of the Huo family, I'm afraid the prince will retaliate."

Zhu Chongguang frowned, "Then according to what you say, you can't get married?" ”

"Not really." Zhu Xiujin hooked the corners of his lips and explained slowly.

"After all, the girl of the Huo family is Huo Xiang's only daughter, if her son can marry her, he can get at least half of Huo Xiang's support."

"Half?" Zhu Chongguang stroked his beard and repeated.

"My father has worked with Zuo Xiang for many years, what kind of character does his father know?" Zhu Xiujin straightened his sleeves, "The left minister is a staunch royalist, and he will not openly support any prince." ”

"But well, my aunt has been with the king for a long time, and she knows very well that this half of the power is enough."

After a pause, Zhu Xiujin showed an intriguing smile again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already been married to the girl of the Su family, and I am afraid it will not be so easy to marry the girl of the Huo family this time, right?" ”

"The Seventeenth Prince has not yet entered the court." Zhu Chongguang said worriedly, "Before this, we must be cautious in everything we do, if we are not careful, we will be crushed!" ”

Zhu Xiujin was silent.

The age of the seventeenth prince is the biggest fetter of the noble faction.

"In two days, it will be the eldest princess's reception banquet." Zhu Chongguang thought about it.

"You have to think of a way, it's good to meet the Huo family girl."

Zhu Xiujin felt a little weird, what? Do you still want to use beautiful men??

Sensing his hesitation, Zhu Chongguang smiled, "You also said that the prince may not be sincere." But can the prince give the Huo family a wife? ”

"The girl of the Huo family has always regarded herself as the first noble girl in the capital, and if she succumbs to Su Yu, she must be unwilling." Zhu Xiujin vaguely remembered the woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and said slowly.

"If Huo Yatou herself is unwilling." Zhu Chongguang's fox eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully, "That's easy to say." Huo Gang, I always have a way to get him to agree. ”
