In the evening, Wu Chuan in front of Emperor Chu came to pass the word that Emperor Chu would come to Yihua Palace for dinner tonight.

Emperor Chu's Luan stopped outside the palace gate of Yihua Palace, and as soon as Emperor Chu walked down, he saw Xiao Xuan waiting outside the palace gate with a smile.

"Father." As soon as Xiao Xuan saw Emperor Chu, the corners of his mouth immediately rose and a big smile appeared.

"Now that the heat is not gone, what are you doing at the door?" Xiao Xuan stepped forward and grabbed Emperor Chu's arm, and Emperor Chu's face couldn't help showing a very loving look and said with a smile. "Wait for me in the palace with your mother."

"I just want to spend a little more time with my father." Xiao Xuan smiled well-behaved.

After dinner, Xiao Xuan talked to Emperor Chu for a long time, until he said that he was so thirsty that he couldn't sit still, and he was unwilling to leave.

Emperor Chu simply took Xiao Xuan in his arms and carefully coaxed her to sleep.

"Suihong, find someone to send the princess back to her dormitory." Emperor Liu, who was sitting next to Emperor Chu, looked at Xiao Xuan, who was asleep in Emperor Chu's arms, and whispered to Sui Hong to come forward and say.

"You don't need to call someone to come, it won't disturb Xuan'er's good sleep." Emperor Chu shouted to Sui Hong, and carefully stood up with the sleeping Xiao Xuan in his arms. "I'll take her back myself, and I'll be back later."

After Emperor Chu got up, there were people who were waiting by Xiao Xuan's side to lead the way to Xiao Xuan's dormitory for Emperor Chu.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty really loves our second princess very much." After Emperor Chu left, Suihong waited for Emperor Liu's concubine to change her clothes and remove her makeup. "I am afraid that when the slaves and maids take over the second princess, they will accidentally startle the second princess to sleep."

"Yes, among so many children of Your Majesty, only Xuan'er is the one who has really been hugged from childhood to adulthood." Concubine Liu smiled and took off her earrings.

After Emperor Chu watched the palace maids properly settle Xiao Xuan, he left and went to the dormitory of Emperor Liu's concubine.

At this time, Emperor Liu's concubine had already taken off her delicate makeup and hairpin rings in the daytime, and changed into a plain white bedclothes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine will change your clothes for you." Seeing Emperor Chu coming back, Emperor Liu's concubine greeted him with a smile.

"I'm not busy yet." Emperor Chu held the white, slender hand of Emperor Liu's concubine and pulled her to sit down on the beauty couch by the window. "Recently, the court has been busy, and I haven't come to see you much."

"What's so nice about concubines." Emperor Liu's concubine gently leaned on Emperor Chu's side and said with a smile in a tactful tone. "The concubines are all old people who have been in the palace for many years, and when they look at the bright-looking girls living in the Mingguang Palace, they really feel that they are old."

"Where is the concubine old?" Emperor Chu said with a smile. "I only think that Concubine Ai is beautiful when she is young, and now she is so mature and charming."

Seeing the two emperors and concubines talking, Suihong, who had strong eyes, quietly retreated with the palace maids waiting in the dormitory, and quietly closed the door of the inner hall.

Emperor Liu's concubine is indeed naturally beautiful, the queen is only two years older than Emperor Liu's concubine, and in the early years, the queen did not dare to remove her makeup in front of Emperor Chu.

But even if Emperor Liu's concubine took off those carefully painted makeup, she couldn't even see a wrinkle on her face.

"The concubine finally knows who Xuan'er's clever mouth inherited now?" A touch of flying red rose on the side of Emperor Liu's face, and she raised her eyes to look at Emperor Chu coquettishly.

"Xuan'er is my daughter, Xiao Ruzhen is right." Emperor Chu laughed loudly and took Emperor Liu's concubine into his arms. "Seeing that the last round of selection is about to begin, my marriage will is ready, can the concubine have thought of the candidates for the main concubine and the side concubine for Yu'er and Jun'er?"

"Yu'er and Jun'er are both sons of His Majesty, and it is right for His Majesty to be a father to choose an engagement for them, so that the concubines will not interfere." Emperor Liu's concubine leaned on Emperor Chu's generous embrace and complained in a low voice. "The concubine had worried about Jun'er before, but this child felt that the concubine would harm him as a concubine, so the concubine simply threw away her hand and annoyed Your Majesty."

"Look at you, your two sons are at the age of getting married, why do you still say such childish things." Emperor Chu made fun of her. "I am in the previous dynasty, and I don't know the true temperament of those girls from the family. So in this election, I also accepted the queen, and the girls you chose for the princes, as long as there are no too unsuitable candidates, I will give marriage. ”

"Is Your Majesty serious?" When Emperor Liu's concubine heard this, she immediately stood up and looked back at Emperor Chu with some surprise. "Can you really let the concubines choose their future daughters-in-law by themselves?"

"You don't joke, I have told you in person, will there be any lies?" Emperor Chu looked at Emperor Liu and said. "The queen took a look at two girls for Zhen'er, one is a concubine and the other is a side concubine, I have seen that the two people are from a good match, so I have already agreed that the queen will give marriage."

"Actually, I don't hide it from Your Majesty, the concubines actually look at each other for Yu'er and Jun'er, but I can't pay attention to it, can Your Majesty refer to one or two details for the concubines?" Emperor Liu's concubine turned sideways, knelt behind Emperor Chu, and a pair of soft wattles quietly climbed up to Emperor Chu's shoulder and neck and kneaded them slightly.

Emperor Chu was tired for a day in front of the case, and his body was extremely tired. Emperor Liu's concubine often massaged Emperor Chu to relieve fatigue in the past few days, and she still has a lot of kung fu in her hands.

"Alright, alright." Emperor Liu's concubine pressed for Emperor Chu for a while, and Emperor Chu was indeed a lot more relaxed, and Emperor Chu turned around and held her hand. "Don't be tired of you, I'm much better, tell me who you see for Yu'er and Jun'er, right?"

The concubine selected by Emperor Liu for Xiao Yu is Wen Yue, the eldest granddaughter of the British duke, and the side concubine is Shen Hanlan, the daughter of the Zhongshu Sheren.

"Your Majesty knows that the eldest daughter-in-law of the British Duke is a close friend of the concubine who has known each other since she was still in the boudoir. Originally, she often brought her children to talk to her concubines, but in recent years, because her husband sent her to accompany her, she has come less. Yue'er's concubine also grew up watching from a young age, not only familiar with poetry and books, but also easy-going and generous. The concubine also asked Yu'er in private, but Yu'er didn't reply to the concubine's words, but her face turned red, and she was satisfied. ”

"Well, you've made a good choice." Emperor Chu glanced at Emperor Liu's concubine and said. "Yu'er is my eldest son, and his concubine is the one with outstanding character and outstanding family background, so she can match Yu'er. Alright, just do as you say. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Emperor Liu's concubine responded with joy on her face, but she didn't mention it to Xiao Jun's family. "It's not too early, Your Majesty will be early tomorrow, and the concubines are waiting for Your Majesty to change clothes and wash."

"Hey, wait." Emperor Chu hurriedly pressed her hand. "Why don't you go down, didn't you look at others for Jun'er?"

"Don't mention him." Emperor Liu's concubine pushed away Emperor Chu's hand with a slight force and said. "The concubine will dress His Majesty widely."

"Is this bastard boy angry with you talking nonsense again? Tell me that if he is really angry with you, I will immediately order someone to arrest him and beat him up. ”

"Isn't it? also blamed the concubine, thinking that he was the youngest son of His Majesty, and that in the future, his five elder brothers would assist His Majesty in major and important matters in the court, and he would be a rich and idle king who didn't care about anything in the future. The concubines were not so strict with him, so he had a few quarrels with the concubines over the selection of concubines. The concubine thought that he had a loose temperament, so she carefully selected a few girls from military generals' families, thinking that a girl from such a background would definitely be able to subdue him. Who would have thought that Xuan'er secretly took Jun'er in without telling her concubines. After that, it was a ruckus, pestering the concubines all day long, and even when the mother entered the palace, she came to beg, as if the concubine deliberately found a pungent daughter-in-law to embarrass him. ”

The more Emperor Liu said, the more angry she became.

"Haha, this bastard." Emperor Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It's not early today, and I'll send someone to bring him early tomorrow morning, teach him a lesson, and give you a good breath, okay?"

"Your Majesty." Emperor Liu's concubine knew that Emperor Chu was joking, so she was so angry that she raised her hand and gently slapped Emperor Chu on the shoulder a few times. "The concubines look very much like Your Majesty, and the appearance of the concubines is the same."

"Okay, okay, can I blame it?" Emperor Chu's treatment of Xiao Jun is also the most favored among the princes under his knees, and as Emperor Liu's concubine said, Xiao Jun is the youngest among the princes and has the most loose temperament, and Emperor Chu also intends to indulge him. "Jun'er doesn't like the girl of the military general's family, so I'll work hard for you to choose for him."

"In fact, the concubine later pondered a girl for him, who was the eldest daughter of the original match of the Ministry of Works, and her biological mother was the cousin of the concubine from the fifth room of the Liu family." Emperor Liu said. "The child's concubine liked it very much when she saw it, but her appearance was soft but her temperament was not weak. Although she was raised under her grandmother's knees because of her biological mother's early death, she didn't leave behind to teach her to manage the affairs of the palace, and she was able to support the inner courtyard of the palace. What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Isn't her biological father still alive?" Speaking of the Ministry of Works, Emperor Chu's mind suddenly turned around. "And did her biological father remarry a stepmother? How can a good eldest daughter be raised in her grandfather's house? ”

"It was the cousin-in-law Bo Xin of the concubine, who remarried to a young and gentle step-room, and after giving birth to a young son and a young daughter, he began to treat the eldest daughter left behind by the original wife. Fortunately, although the concubine and cousin went early, they also left a caring loyal servant to take care of their daughter, and the loyal servant couldn't bear the suffering of the little master before returning home to report the news. The uncle and aunt of the concubine Wufang were already distressed about the granddaughter who lost their biological mother, and when they learned that the child was being mistreated, they took the child back to raise it for the first time. The concubine took pity on the child, and she did like the child, thinking that it would be good if she became the concubine's little daughter-in-law. ”

"Do you want her to be Jun'er's concubine?"

"Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate?" Emperor Liu's concubine looked at Emperor Chu. "That side concubine is also okay, the concubine is just really reluctant to let such a good child fall into ordinary people's homes, but it is easy to fall apart."

"Well, whatever you want." Emperor Chu fulfilled the wish of Emperor Liu's concubine. "The Liu family has been noble for generations, and his biological father is also a third-grade servant, since you also like it tightly, let her be Jun'er's concubine."
