The queen's smile decreased, and she said lightly.

"Two days ago, wasn't the emperor always at Concubine Xian's sister? Moreover, Concubine Xian's sister also deliberately asked the imperial chef in the palace to make several flavors of zongzi, and I think the emperor is not short of these zongzi. ”

The emperor's smile also decreased in an instant, as if he had been caught by someone's weakness, and he was a little annoyed.

The emperor leaned slightly towards Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian, as soon as you saw it, you immediately helped the emperor pour wine, and talked with the emperor, and laughter came from time to time between the two.

The queen sat on the side, although she was still smiling because of the prince's affairs, but her heart was already in tears.

The prince's marriage has been completely decided.

Among the princes present, there were only four princes left, and Zhao Wenting had not yet decided on his family.

Zhao Wenting is the son of Concubine Mei, and he has supported the three princes openly and secretly all these years.

People are modest and cautious, and they also have some reputation in the court, although the emperor is not very favored, but he is not very annoying.

Concubine Mei, a very gentle-looking woman, sat under Concubine Xian.

Although the emperor has not been as fond of her as Concubine Xian over the years, he has been to her palace a lot of times.

Moreover, to be able to survive in the harem and have a prince, that is a simple person.

Before participating in the Dragon Boat Banquet, Zhao Wenting had already revealed his favorite person to Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei also fell in love with that person and thought it was a good one, so she greeted the emperor in advance.

"The marriage of the prince has been decided, only the marriage of the four princes has not been decided, Mu Ningzhi, the concubine of the Ministry of Works, is a good girl, do you like the four princes?"

Zhao Wenting was stunned for a moment, and looked at his mother in disbelief, the person he was talking to his mother was obviously not Mu Ningzhi!

Concubine Mei also looked at the emperor a little anxiously, she and the emperor were obviously talking about Fang Jiaxin, Lord Fang's daughter-in-law.

Why did the emperor order Mu Ningzhi, the daughter of the Ministry of Works?

However, Concubine Mei did not have a seizure, she understood the emperor's thoughts, if she questioned it at this time, she was afraid that the emperor would blame it, but it was not good, it seemed that she could only endure it.

Zuo is just a girl, if the emperor still likes that Fang Jiaxin, just find an opportunity to include her as a side concubine.

"Your Majesty, you see, the four princes are so happy that they can't speak."

Concubine Xian chimed in.

If these four princes want to marry the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, it depends on whether she agrees or not.

The father of the Fang family girl is the secretary of the criminal department, and the father of the Mu family girl is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

In terms of influence, it is still the Shangshu of the Criminal Department that is more influential, although these four princes support the three princes on the surface, they are also a little cautious.

He married the girl of the Fang family, and he had the support of the criminal department Shangshu behind him, which was a big obstacle for the five princes in the future.

Zhao Wenting looked at Concubine Xian Niangniang, and probably guessed it in his heart.

The emperor suddenly gave him the girl of the Mu family, but he was afraid that he would have the credit of this virtuous concubine.

He remembered the account.

Zhao Wenting glanced at Fang Jiaxin and found that she was thanking the Mu family girl, while the Mu family girl looked at him shyly.

Zhao Wenting's heart was a little painful and a little irritable.

However, he still forcibly pulled out a smile and stepped forward.

"Erchen likes it very much, thank you father for the marriage."

Soon, the ministers and wives began to congratulate the four princes.

In addition to the noon banquet, there is also a dinner party.

The dinner was also held in the palace.

After the commotion this afternoon, Lu Qingrong was a little tired, but everyone was forced to play the spirits, so she naturally couldn't say that she was tired.

However, they can go outside for a walk, as long as they don't go far, they'll be fine.

Lu Qingrong took the opportunity to take a breath outside and walked out.

As I walked, I walked to a palace gate.

The scenery around here was the same, Lu Qingrong didn't pay attention, turned around and walked back, and suddenly heard a sound.

"You don't have to."

It's His Royal Highness the Prince!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's voice was very unique, and Lu Qingrong remembered it after hearing it once.

The Dragon Boat Banquet in front of you is not over yet, what is His Royal Highness the Prince doing here?

Seeing that the palace in front of him is a little dilapidated, it shouldn't be where he came!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know it before, but now I already know, His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't regret it."

Lu Qingrong trembled again when he heard this voice, Sister Shen?

I didn't expect that there was really a special relationship between Sister Shen and His Royal Highness the Prince.

Judging from today's sister Shen's initiative to stand up and marry the prince, Sister Shen and the prince must be familiar with each other.

However, didn't Sister Shen look unwilling to marry before?

Why are you willing to marry the prince now?

"You should know that my physical condition will not live for two years, and if you marry me, you will only live to suffer, so why bother?" The prince's tone was rather helpless.

"Even if it's only a few years, I don't want to give up, not to mention that there are so many imperial doctors to take care of it, His Royal Highness the Prince's health will definitely get better."

"It's been so long since I was a child, you remember."

Shen Bixia laughed at herself, "If I had known that you were the prince, I would have gone to look for you a long time ago, I was bullied by those little villains back then, thanks to your righteous action to save me, I liked you at that time." ”

"But later, I asked my father to search the entire capital but didn't find you, I thought you had left here, so I hid you in my heart. However, just two days ago, when your carriage passed by the dim sum shop, I saw you, saw your jade pendant, and it turned out that the little boy who saved me back then was you. ”

The prince's tone was quite helpless, "I didn't expect you to recognize it at once, if I had known this, I would never have gotten off that day." ”

Shen Bixia suddenly sighed, "Since you know my identity, you should know why I haven't married until now, looking at the young talents in the entire capital now, how many of them are willing to marry me?" It's not nothing, but most of them have the intention of stammering their father. ”

"It's not what I want, and if that's the case, why can't I marry someone I like? And such a good opportunity is in front of me, I have no reason to let it go. ”

"But you know, the physical condition of this palace, you will suffer in the future."

"I'd rather spend a few happy years with you than die lonely for the rest of my life, can you bear to refuse me?"

"That's it, now that the Emperor's decree has been issued, there is no way for us to change it, if you have a favorite person in the future, this palace will fulfill you."
