Chapter 39: Placement
Ouyang's face was full of words, and the eldest princess of eternal life couldn't understand what she hadn't said.
For some families, if there is a child in the family, Princess Shang, it will be of great benefit. Not to mention other benefits, this dynasty has treated princesses well in all dynasties, and the heirs born by princesses will basically be knighted regardless of gender.
But he already has a princess and an imperial concubine, and his two sons are already in high positions, so the eldest princess of Yongshou is naturally not very keen on letting her grandson Shang Concubine.
"The second daughter-in-law, although the two children of the old family are not yet married, they are both engaged." The eldest princess of Yongshou looked at the Ouyang clan and asked. "Your family's Changjun and Changfeng are about the same age, and now even the eldest prince and the sixth prince have already made a family appointment, you can find a suitable family for their brother. I still say the same thing, the child was born to you, as long as there is no major mistake in the family you are looking for, I will not have any opinion. ”
"Mother, I know what you mean. Just looking for a suitable family, I also have to see what the two children mean, and this marriage is not something that can be decided in a moment. "The Ouyang clan knows that Princess Shang has many benefits, but they don't need this extra icing on the cake anymore. Listening to the meaning of the words of the eldest princess of Yongshou, it was also for him to find suitable wives for his two sons, and naturally knew that the eldest princess of Yongshou also disagreed with this matter, and the Ouyang clan immediately calmed down. "If Changjun's marriage is not so finalized, what should the eldest princess do if she has another move?"
"What are you afraid of, she is a princess, and I am the eldest princess." The eldest princess of eternal life said indifferently. "I'm so old than her, can't I even protect my grandson's marriage?"
The eldest princess of Yongshou has already made plans in her heart, unless Changjun has fallen in love with Xiao Lu's girl blindly, Xiao Lu is afraid that she is not qualified to be her granddaughter-in-law.
"yes, don't worry about my brother and sister." He said. "Mother's words are here."
"Yes, thank you Mother."
His own precious son didn't have to marry the arrogant and domineering eldest princess, and the Ouyang family finally settled down.
In the palace, Concubine Chen listened to the palace maid's reply, and thought of Xiao Lu's reaction.
"Are you saying that when the eldest princess was about to leave the eldest princess's mansion, she saw the fourth young master in the mansion?" Now that her daughter is at her age, Concubine Chen herself has indeed begun to look at her daughter as a suitable master, but she doesn't dare to think about any of the grandchildren of the eldest princess of Yongshou. "Are you sure?"
"The slave can be sure." Brother Parrot was beaten in the face, and the first-class palace maid who is now following Xiao Lu is the mandarin duck given by the queen some time ago. "The eldest princess took the initiative to ask, and the maid of the eldest princess's mansion of Yongshou said it herself, so there should be no mistake."
"Okay, I'm okay here, you can go back and serve the eldest princess." Concubine Chen's strength seemed to be drained, and she leaned on the couch weakly and waved her hand. "Go back and keep your mouth shut, don't tell Celestia what I asked you."
"Yes, the slave knows." The mandarin duck nodded and retreated obediently.
Concubine Chen thought that more than a year ago, she seemed to have seen the youngest grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou. That child's appearance and talent are top-notch, and when her daughter reaches the age of the first love, it is inevitable that she will be moved by such a young man.
But that person is the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou, the nephew of Emperor Liu's concubine, and he has been attached to the queen for many years.
Liu Shufu fell seriously ill after her daughter Han Yuanlan got married. Emperor Liu also asked Xiao Yu to send a message to her to recuperate in the eldest princess's mansion for a while, and then enter the palace after her illness recovered.
I haven't seen Xiao Xuan for a few months, and Emperor Chu hasn't come over today, so Emperor Liu's concubine simply left Xiao Xuan to sleep in her bedroom.
Xiao Xuan washed up early, changed into bedclothes, climbed into bed, and fell asleep after a while. When Emperor Liu's concubine had washed up, Xiao Xuan had already curled up slightly and fell asleep when she walked to the bed.
"In the blink of an eye, this kid has grown so big." Concubine Liu Huang leaned on the head of the bed, touched Xiao Xuan's hair, and said with great emotion. "Yu'er and Jun'er's marriage has been decided, and in a few years, I will start worrying about her future marriage again."
"The princess Xiao is like a mother, and she is Your Majesty's beloved daughter, so you don't have to worry about marriage in the future." Sui Hong was standing at the end of the bed and unraveling the curtain outside the bed, and said with a smile and continued the words of Emperor Liu's concubine.
"Hey, I just hope that she can find someone who is good to her, it is best to stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and she can come to the palace to see me every now and then." Concubine Liu Huang said as if she was thinking of the days to come. "Fortunately, she is a clever child, and she must not be bad in the future."
"Yes, sis." Suihong said. "The princess's future days will surely be as she wishes."
Early the next morning, Emperor Chu sent Wu Chuan to pick up Xiao Xuan. Concubine Liu personally twisted Xiao Xuan's ears and woke her up from the bed.
"Chamberlain Wu Nei." Xiao Xuan, who was sitting on the chariot, yawned and leaned on the edge of the lever to call Wu Chuan.
"What does the princess command?" Wu Chuan, who was originally walking in front of the team, heard Xiao Xuan calling him, so he turned his head and walked over.
"It's okay, it's just that why did my father send someone to pick me up early in the morning?"
"It turned out that the princess had been away from the palace for a few months, and His Majesty had not personally welcomed the princess back when he was busy recently." Wu Chuanhan said with a smile. "Your Majesty was too busy to see the princess yesterday, so I sent a servant to pick up the princess early this morning to accompany Your Majesty to breakfast."
Emperor Chu, who was still sitting at the table to review the folds, heard the news that the second princess had arrived, so he put down the red pen in his hand.
"The daughter has seen her father." Xiao Xuan trotted in all the way, jumped directly to Emperor Chu in three steps and two steps, and said sweetly.
"Are you happy living outside?" When Emperor Chu saw his beloved daughter coming, he only felt that the fatigue in his body had dissipated a lot, he took Xiao Xuan and sat down on the vacant seat beside him, and asked lovingly. "Are you hungry, how about I ask Wu Chuan to prepare some snacks for you first?"
"Well, happy, my grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt and cousins are kind to me." Xiao Xuan looked at the mountains of folds piled up in front of Emperor Chu's table and said. "No need, I'll wait for my father to take care of the matter at hand, and then have breakfast with my father."
"Okay, then you can wait a while." Emperor Chu smiled and said. "Father, the emperor will have breakfast with you after two more folds."
Emperor Chu said that he wanted to see two more folds, but it seemed that he had forgotten the time, and when he remembered, Xiao Xuan had already fallen asleep again on his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince asks to see you." Emperor Chu was just about to wake up Xiao Xuan, but Wu Chuan, who was waiting outside, came in and saw that Xiao Xuan was asleep, so he lowered his voice and said.
"Call him in." Emperor Chu said. "Xuan'er, wake up."
Xiao Xuan was rubbing her eyes, and saw that Xiao Yu happened to come in too.
"Big brother." Xiao Xuan shouted at him with a smile.
"Why is my sister here?"
"I'm here to have breakfast with my father."
"Yu'er, have you had breakfast?" Emperor Chu also valued his eldest son. "If you haven't used it yet, use it together."
After breakfast was presented, Emperor Chu greeted him in advance, and the porridge and side dishes and snacks that accompanied it were all Xiao Xuan's favorite food.
Xiao Xuan ate happily, and Xiao Yu took advantage of the meal to say a few words to Emperor Chu, all of which were some of what he saw and heard in the household department.
"Well, it seems that you have also learned from your uncle." Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Yu with indescribable satisfaction in his heart, Xiao Yu was the eldest son of the emperor, but he was not arrogant and could etiquette the corporal. Many of the things that Xiao Yu raised could only be known after contacting many lower-level officials. "In this way, when you get married in the spring of next year, I can rest assured that I will leave some of the things at hand to you."
"It is also the duty of the sons to share the worries of their father." Xiao Yu was secretly happy in his heart.
"But I have discussed it with your mother, and you will live in the palace for the time being after you get married."
In the past dynasties, princes of Xiao Yu's age generally moved out of the inner palace after marriage and opened their teeth to build a mansion in the imperial capital, so that they could be regarded as representing the prince's true adulthood.
Emperor Liu's concubine considered that the eldest granddaughter of the British Duke was two years younger than Xiao Yu, and it would probably be a bit of a burden to be in charge of the inner courtyard of a royal palace at the beginning. Therefore, Emperor Liu's concubine suggested to Emperor Chu that Xiao Yu would stay in the palace temporarily after getting married, and Emperor Chu listened to her and agreed.
"The sons and daughters obey the wishes of their fathers and mothers." Xiao Yu should go down. "It's just that the queen mother knows about it, will it be bad, the son heard that the queen mother has arranged for the internal affairs office to find a location outside the palace for the second brother to build a mansion, if I am the only one to stay in the palace after marriage, I am afraid that it will not be appropriate."
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Chu said meaninglessly. "That's what I mean, your mother won't say anything."
As soon as the queen got up early in the morning, she learned that Emperor Chu had sent Wu Chuan to Yihua Palace to pick up Xiao Xuan and accompany her for breakfast.
"The second princess has a really chic life, and she lives for a month as soon as she leaves the palace." Jinxiu took a comb to comb the queen's hair and said. "Even the princes can't stay outside the palace temporarily without His Majesty's edict."
"She's naturally different, who let her have a grandmother who is the eldest princess." The queen looked at herself in the mirror, noticed another wrinkle in her eyes, and sighed softly.
"Niangniang, yesterday the mandarin duck from Yuxiu Palace came to pass a word to the slave maid." Jinxiu whispered. "It's a bit inappropriate to say that the eldest princess came back after attending the chrysanthemum banquet from the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou."
"Oh?" The queen used to think that although Concubine Chen was not favored, she was fortunately obedient, and Concubine Chen's daughter had grown up, and her marriage could still come in handy. But Xiao Lu is more difficult to control than Concubine Chen, so the queen took advantage of the fact that Brother Parrot was beaten, and gave a first-class palace maid Mandarin Duck to Xiao Lu's side to watch her. "What's wrong with her?"
