Because of the care of the eldest princess of Yongshou, in these days in the Feiyu Mountain Palace, Emperor Chu would call Mu Tingyu to the palace from time to time to ask about homework or chat and chat.

Emperor Chu didn't expect that Mu Tingyu was actually very talented, because Mu Wangfu was a vassal king guarding the frontier, and he thought that the education of the children in the palace was a bit heavy on martial arts and light on literature. Mu Tingyu and Xiao Xuan are of the same age, not only proficient in poetry and books, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also quite familiar with military law.

This time Emperor Chu was in the summer, and most of the government affairs of the imperial capital were temporarily handed over to the eldest prince and the second prince, and the other princes are now adults, and they have also received their own court posts in the court, so there is no prince to travel with Emperor Chu this time.

Mu Tingyu has a moderate demeanor, is clever and intelligent, and after Emperor Chu has been in contact with it a few times, he admires this young man quite a lot.

Xiao Xuan came to greet Emperor Chu several times, and happened to meet Emperor Chu and Mu Tingyu talking happily.

Today, too, when Xiao Xuan came in, he saw Mu Tingyu who was sitting on the side playing chess with Emperor Chu.

Now that the chess game is at a critical juncture, Emperor Chu has no time to even take care of Xiao Xuan.

"Princess, sit down." Wu Chuan stepped forward and beckoned Xiao Xuan to sit down, and ordered someone to hurry up and prepare tea and snacks to entertain her.

After a while, Emperor Chu easily won Mu Tingyu by one son.

"I've seen the princess." Mu Tingyu, who lost the chess, still looked like a young man, as if he had just seen Xiao Xuan, and got up to say hello to Xiao Xuan.

"Cousin Yu, don't be polite." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

"Since the princess is here, then I will retire first." Mu Tingyu took the initiative to leave with a very eye-catching look.

After Wu Chuan led Mu Tingyu out, Xiao Xuan got up and walked to the chessboard and said to Emperor Chu.

"Father." Emperor Chu was still looking at the chessboard with unfinished eyes, and Xiao Xuanjiao called him angrily.

"Xuan'er, take a look at this chess game, it's really wonderful." When it comes to Mu Tingyu, Emperor Chu's words are full of praise. "Brother Yu, this kid, is much more proficient in these things than his father."

When Emperor Chu was young, the current Prince Mu was also sent to the imperial capital and entered the palace to study. Emperor Chu was the same age as him, so he naturally knew each other when he was young.

"Father, I see that you like Cousin Yu very much now." Xiao Xuan hugged Emperor Chu's arm and said coquettishly while shaking. "I just came, and my father didn't even look at me."

"In the days when you came to the palace for summer vacation, your royal brothers stayed in the imperial capital, and you are not good at chess, isn't it rare for my father to find a good opponent?" Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan's appearance of having a small temperament, and couldn't help but laugh and scold. "I didn't expect Brother Yu'er, this kid is really good, if it weren't for your heart, I really wanted him to be your colt."

Xiao Xuan heard Emperor Chu's words, turned his head and secretly stuck out his tongue. Thinking that fortunately, my father didn't know yet, and my aunt made up her own mind as soon as she returned to the imperial capital.

"It seems that my father really doesn't like me now." Xiao Xuan didn't follow and said. "King Mu's mansion is far away in the sky, and my father is willing to let me marry far away."

"Silly boy, you are not the daughter of an ordinary family, you are my princess." Emperor Chu laughed loudly. "Even if you marry Brother Yu'er, the imperial capital has your princess's mansion, and only the concubine lives in the imperial capital with you."

"Hmph, then I'm going to marry him too." Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "Isn't the eldest sister's marriage all decided now? When will my father give me a marriage? ”

Xiao Xuan's mouth was fast, and he forgot for a moment that Xiao Lu had angered Emperor Chu before. She watched Emperor Chu's face gradually sink down, and then she stopped, carefully examining his face and not speaking again.

Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Xuan, and remembered that the female flag guard who guarded Xiao Lu yesterday came to talk back to him. said that Xiao Lu had been taken back to guard since that day, as if he was a living dead. Eat and drink, just don't say a word. Except when I slept at night, I sat all day long during the day.

Concubine Chen was heartbroken by Xiao Lu, and she was also sick for a while after that.

Emperor Chu couldn't bear it, thinking about whether to lift the ban, but he was afraid that Xiao Lu would hate Xiao Xuan even more for this matter, so he had to give up.

Halfway through September, the scorching heat gradually subsided, and Emperor Chu decided to set off tomorrow to return to the imperial capital.

On the day of departure, Xiao Xuan saw Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu's mother and daughter who finally walked out of the gate of the palace from a distance. Concubine Chen still looked sick and weak, and Xiao Lu was supported by Brother Parrot and walked behind Concubine Chen, surrounded by female flag guards.

"Don't look at it." Concubine Liu Huang had already gotten into the carriage, and she didn't see Xiao Xuan come in for a long time, so she lifted the curtain and called her. "Come on."

"Yes, Princess." Xiao Xuan turned her head and stopped looking at her, and Dan Tang reached out to help her board the carriage.

The day after everyone returned to the imperial capital, Emperor Chu issued a marriage decree, and the third son of the prince of Zhenguo, Duan Shaoyou, was the eldest princess and got married in the spring of next year.

The prince of Zhenguo and the wife of the prince looked at each other in the face of such a holy decree, and for a moment no one thought of getting up to take this decree.

However, Zhen Guogong got up decisively, stepped forward a few steps, and took the holy decree with both hands from the hands of the attendants who came to announce the decree.

Behind him, a sturdy man who looked like a guard stepped forward and took out a heavy purse from his bosom and stuffed it into the empty hand of the waiter.

"Thank you, Zhen Guogong." The chamberlain secretly checked it, and was very satisfied with the weight of the purse, and said to Zhen Guogong with a smile. "The prince of the house and the wife of the prince had better pack up quickly and go into the palace to thank you."

The waiter accepted the benefits, and seeing that the prince and Mrs. Shizi still did not come back to their senses, they took the initiative to remind them.

After the chamberlain left, the prince of Zhenguo called the prince and his wife to the main hall to speak.

In the end, it was about the two sons-in-law, and the husband and wife, who had been incompatible for many years, had to get up neatly and follow Zhen Guogong.

"Go down, all of you." Zhen Guogong sat down and let all the people in the main hall disperse.

The subordinates immediately rushed out, not daring to stay for a moment, and when the subordinates all retreated, the man who followed behind Zhenguo Gong closed the gate and stood in place at the gate.

Seeing that Zhenguo Gong's face was pale, and he didn't know how many times he had been taught by Zhenguo Gong since he was a child, even if he was over forty years old, his legs still couldn't stop weak, and he almost collapsed in the hall.

Mrs. Shizi looked at her husband helplessly, so she had to step forward herself.

"Father, this will came too suddenly." Madame Shizi acted in a rather spicy manner, and now she had recovered from her shock. "How can it be so decent, Your Majesty suddenly made such a will to give marriage?"

"You sit down first." Zhenguo announced that Mrs. Shizi sat down and looked at Shizi who was standing trembling in place. "What are you still standing in the way of your eyes, why don't you sit down for me."

The prince reluctantly found a vacant seat next to Mrs. Shizi and sat down, still looking like he couldn't even lift his head.

"Father." Mrs. Shizi asked. "Didn't my father go to the Flying Feather Mountain Palace before? You met the queen's mother, didn't the mother know to your father at that time? ”

"I'm afraid this was caused by the queen." Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, Zhen Guogong is almost certain that this marriage must be pulled by the queen.

"How so?" Mrs. Shizi was cold, but she still said strongly. "Before the queen mother left, her daughter-in-law also entered the palace to greet the mother. On that day, the queen also took the initiative to ask, saying that she would look at a famous lady as a wife for Brother You'er, why is it now。。。。。。 How could you let Brother You be the princess's colt now? ”

Emperor Chu has no heirs, and there are only two princesses under his knees. But the eldest princess and Princess Zhaoyue are really worlds apart, regardless of the position of the biological mother, the love of Emperor Chu, and the appearance and bearing, just looking at Princess Zhaoyue, who is young next year but has a title in advance, no one in the imperial capital can see the gap between the two princesses.

There is really no sister-in-law of the same age as Princess Zhaoyue, and Mrs. Shizi naturally did not think about Princess Zhaoyue.

The eldest princess who was a little stingy in her early years, Mrs. Shizi never thought about it.

"Now that things have come to this point, I can't continue to hide it from you." Zhen Guogong really didn't expect that the queen would suddenly come with such a move. "Brother Lan in the second room has a great future, and the queen mother has such a trick in order to firmly tie the Zhenguo Mansion to the second prince."

"Father means." After stumbling for a long time, Shizi finally squeezed out a sentence. "Brother Lan is also qualified to marry?! But in addition to the eldest princess, only the fifteen-year-old Princess Zhaoyue was left in the palace. ”

Mrs. Shizi has fully understood, and the queen's attitude towards herself as a sister-in-law has changed in recent years. is really the father and son in the second room, obviously not from a high background, but all of them are surprisingly good.

Thinking about it, the queen originally wanted to win over Duan Shaolan and let Duan Shaolan marry the eldest princess whose biological mother was attached to the queen, so as to bring the father and son in the second room under the command of the second prince.

But who would have thought.

Duan Shaolan, a concubine, inherited the good luck of the second room in the matter of marriage.

Back then, the one in the second room had nothing but fame, but he married the princess of the real power palace.

Now he is a concubine who is recorded in his mother's name, and he has His Majesty's blue eyes, and he can actually be Princess Zhaoyue's concubine.

And because of his Duan Shaolan's good fortune, he filled in his own son for no reason.

"Okay, you two put away the dead face on my face for me." Zhen Guogong looked at their husband and wife and said helplessly. "Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en, the princess who was born in the royal family is not up to us to pick and choose, you go back to the room immediately to change your clothes, roll into the palace for me to thank you, don't be accused of resenting the royal family."
