Five days later, Ouyang arrived as scheduled.

Except for the two younger brothers who went to the private school early in the morning to attend classes, even Deng Kang specially asked for leave to stay at home.

Deng Yingniang is skillful, and after she has been cleaned up in the morning, she has to help her mother and two younger sisters pull up their hair in a bun.

Ouyang didn't change her face at all when she saw the simple courtyard of the Deng family, she has always been very good at being a person. Besides, although the Deng family is a little old, it is neat, and the appearance of the Deng family is not bad. She stepped forward to say a brief word to Deng Kang, and then grabbed Deng Yingniang's mother's arm very familiarly.

However, after a short half of a moment's effort, Ouyang and Deng Yingniang's mother Qin sat together, already affectionately like sisters. Ouyang beckoned Deng Yingniang to take her two younger sisters to come forward to speak, and after seeing Deng Yingniang for the first time, Ouyang was still very satisfied.

Deng Yingniang has a good appearance, and her speech is not like an ordinary girl who grows up in the countryside. Deng Kang attaches great importance to the education of his two sons, but he does not neglect the education of his three daughters. Therefore, Deng Yingniang and her two younger sisters were literate and read, and Deng Kang personally taught them at home.

Ouyang took the hands of Deng Yingniang and her two younger sisters, praised and praised one by one, and asked the maid waiting outside to bring the gifts she had prepared for the three girls. Deng Yingniang is a pair of jade bracelets with good color, and she gives her two sisters a gold lock each, which is not only thoughtful but also very practical. Since the two younger sisters are still young, there are some delicate snacks and sweets for them.

The boys of the Deng family were not at home, and the Ouyang family still did not forget them. The gifts for them were good paper, good ink, and two inkstones.

Because she knew that it was time for Ouyang to talk to her parents about her marriage, Deng Yingniang pulled her sisters and withdrew.

"Sister?" Deng Yingniang sat on the bed with her little sister in her arms, took a piece of dim sum and handed it to her, and the little girl obediently held the dim sum and ate it. But her eldest sister held the golden lock, as if her hand was a little hot, and asked nervously. "What is that very good-looking aunt here to do today? Is my sister going to get married?"

"Yes, my sister is a girl, she can't live at home for the rest of her life, she has to get married." Deng Yingniang gently took the hand of the eldest sister, asked her to sit next to the little sister, and also took a piece of snack for her.

"Sister." The eldest sister is not like the little sister sitting on the side, she is young and does not understand the taste of parting, she grew up with the eldest sister holding her hand, she did not eat the piece of dim sum stuffed by her sister in her hand, but hugged Deng Yingniang's arm very attachment. "Sister, sister."

"Okay, I know you don't want to give up your sister." Deng Yingniang hugged her eldest sister and said. "My sister will get married sooner or later, and this marriage is very good. In the future, if my father can be promoted to the imperial capital with his official achievements, you will be able to benefit when you grow up. ”

Ouyang received a reply from her husband before she came, and her husband's reply in the letter was the same as Ouyang's thoughts. When the husband and brother got married, the eldest princess of Yongshou, who was the mother, was all decided by themselves.

The husband only said that his son's vision would not be too bad, and as long as the girl he could fancy did not have too many flaws in her temperament and family, he would let her be the master of his son's marriage.

And the Deng couple in front of them also made plans and agreed to the marriage of their two children.

After Ouyang received an affirmative reply, he immediately opened up after returning home.

Although there are many troublesome things in the three books and six ceremonies when preparing for the marriage, Liu Changjun has already three elder brothers getting married, and the ready-made examples are all in front of him.

After all the formalities are completed and the wedding date is set.

Only then did the eldest princess of Yongshou send someone to inform the relatives in the imperial capital, in-laws, friends, and even Ouyang's mother's house in Shandong, they all quickly sent someone to send an urgent letter to the past.

Liu Changjun's father was stationed at the garrison and could not return to the imperial capital to watch the ceremony, but he also ordered his own soldiers to escort the two newcomers back to the imperial capital.

Because the eldest princess of Yongshou was born in the clan, the eldest princess of Yongshou personally entered the palace to inform Emperor Chu that Liu Changjun's marriage had been decided.

Before, the eldest princess of Yongshou kept the news strictly hidden, and the eldest princess of Yongshou personally invited the British princess who was highly respected, full of children and grandchildren, and had a harmonious family background to propose marriage as a matchmaker.

When everyone in the palace learned that Liu Changjun was about to get married, it would only be another month before his wedding.

Xiao Lu, who heard this, couldn't hold back any longer, and the well-behaved appearance that she had pretended to be for several years fell apart in an instant. Ignoring Concubine Chen's obstruction, she rushed to Emperor Chu's Lingyun Palace, asking Emperor Chu to stop Liu Changjun's marriage and let Emperor Chu marry her and Liu Changjun.

Emperor Chu was stunned at first, and he didn't know when Xiao Lu was thinking about Liu Changjun. But what Xiao Lu asks, he will not allow.

Let's not talk about it, Liu Changjun is the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou, if it is a child of the family next to him, Xiao Lu will value it. The royal power is great, so why not decide on the family matter, you can still order him to retire and become the princess of Mashan.

But that is the eldest princess of Yongshou, the eldest princess of Yongshou is glorious enough, the two sons are in the second rank, and the eldest daughter is the princess and the young empress. In addition, the eldest princess of Yongshou is an elder, and she hid it for a long time to set a wedding date for Liu Changjun before she came to inform Emperor Chu, presumably because she had already known Xiao Lu's thoughts.

"Ask my father to fulfill me." Xiao Lu ignored Emperor Chu's face becoming more and more pale, and knelt on the ground to beg Emperor Chu for an order. "Father, I know I don't want to be favored by you like my sister, but I am also a child under your knees. All I want is to marry someone I like, and I ask my father to fulfill me. ”

"Lu'er, get up." After all, she is her own daughter, and she has been really well-behaved and sensible over the years, and she gets along well with her sister, Emperor Chu said. "Changjun is good, but he is not the only one who is outstanding. Not only has he decided to get married, but the wedding date is just a month later, and no one in the imperial capital knows about his marriage. Forget him, don't worry, your colt will not be worse than him in the future. ”

"Father." Xiao Lu burst into tears and stepped forward on her knees. "I just want to marry Liu Changjun, as long as my father is willing to make a decree for me, he is not yet married."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Chu saw that persuasion was useless, so he slapped the table and said. "You are my daughter, you don't have to worry about getting married, why do you have to force yourself to marry a man who has already made a marriage contract and is about to get married. Besides, since you already have an interest in him, why didn't you tell me about it earlier? ”

"Father, I was young and ignorant at that time, and I always quarreled with my sister. My aunt and grandmother were my sister's own grandmother, and even if I said it back then, she would not have wanted to. Xiao Lu cried. The daughter knew that her daughter had changed a lot over the years, but she didn't expect that before she could say it, her aunt and grandmother had set a marriage for him. ”

"If this is the case, it means that you have no fate, and there is no need to force marriage." Emperor Chu also knew that the eldest princess of Yongshou did not look down on Xiao Lu in his heart.

The reason is not only because Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan have been at odds since childhood, but also because Xiao Lu's biological mother Concubine Chen is attached to the queen, the queen has a bad relationship with Emperor Liu, and the eldest princess of Yongshou is famous for protecting calves. Even if she is still the master of her own family, Xiao Lu has never been in her consideration. It's a pity that the four boys of the Liu family are much older than her granddaughter Xiao Xuan.

"Wu Chuan, go and help the eldest princess get up." Emperor Chu sighed, looking at Xiao Lu crying sadly, but he still couldn't say anything ruthless about her. "You don't have to wait in front of me later, you send the eldest princess back to Yuxiu Palace for me, and tell Concubine Chen, the eldest princess is weak, and she needs to take care of her for a while. You can tell the grandmothers who are waiting for the eldest princess again, if the eldest princess is not willing to recuperate during this period, I can only let the pennant guard watch her recuperate. ”

Xiao Lu raised her head in shock when she heard this, listening to Emperor Chu's words, she didn't mean anything about fulfilling her. It sounded good to let Wu Chuan in front of him send her back, but it was better to force her back. also said that he would instruct his mother to let her recuperate, obviously because he didn't want her to have a chance to leave the palace and have another incident.

"Father, father." Xiao Lu pushed Wu Chuan away. "Please, please hurt your daughter, just let me do it once!"

"Wu Chuan, send the eldest princess back to the palace." At this time, Emperor Chu picked up a letter and said to Wu Chuan without raising his head, ignoring Xiao Lu again, and he didn't even want to look at Xiao Lu again.

Waiting for Xiao Lu to be forcibly sent back to Yuxiu Palace, seeing that Wu Chuan came with him, after listening to Wu Chuan's words to Emperor Chu, Concubine Chen almost collapsed to the ground.

"Concubine Chen, Your Majesty's meaning has all been transferred." Wu Chuan said respectfully. "Be sure to ask Concubine Chen to take care of the eldest princess within this month, so that the eldest princess can take care of her body with peace of mind."

"Thank you, Chamberlain Wu Nei." Concubine Chen, who reacted, motioned to the palace maid next to her to stuff a purse into Wu Chuan.

"Thank you for the reward." Wu Chuan accepted the purse with kindness, turned his head and threw it to the little chamberlain behind him. "Your Majesty still needs a servant to serve, and the servant will retreat."

"Waiter Wu Nei, go slowly."

Seeing that Wu Chuan led people away, Concubine Chen, who still needed the support of the palace maids to stand firmly, walked to Xiao Lu with difficulty. As if hatred was not made of steel, he hit her on the shoulder.

"It's easy, your father has been kind to you all these years." Concubine Chen wept. "Why did you make an old mistake today?!"

"What's the use of me pretending to be obedient, but my father doesn't even want to give me a good marriage." Xiao Lu said with tears in her eyes like a frosted flower. "If Xiao Xuan asks for this kind of thing today, I'm afraid that my father will not agree."

"The eldest princess of Yongshou is the grandmother of the second princess, if it weren't for the fact that her grandson and the second princess are too different in age, I'm afraid that it won't be your turn." It was rare for Concubine Chen to say to Xiao Lu so strongly. "You can rest in your palace for a month, and then go to your father to ask for guilt in a month."
