Chapter 178: Princess Changle
Princess Changle, who returned to the side hall, was much more relaxed than when she was in the main hall, because she was a princess, since she was a child, the queen mother had high requirements for her, from a smile to every move, there were specific requirements. When she was a child, there was a period of time when she was very depressed, and she couldn't understand why she couldn't be as arbitrary as the third princess and the fourth princess.
For example, the last Tu Yu Festival contest was said to be very grand and exciting, and the third and fourth princesses were excited in front of her for several days after they came back, which made her both envious and disdainful.
To be honest, as she grew older, she became more and more confused.
On the one hand, as a princess, she enjoys respect and status that no other princess has. On the other hand, she always felt that the rules in the palace were only set up for her, the princess.
However, doubts are doubts, and many rules and etiquette have been deeply ingrained in her bones and completely integrated into her part.
Lord Minghui still looked like a big grin, no different from in front of Empress Xiao, she poured herself a cup of tea without waiting for Princess Changle's invitation, and drank it all.
"I just patronized and spoke, but I didn't realize that my mouth was dry."
Princess Changle had long been accustomed to everything about this aunt, and she didn't feel anything wrong.
She poured another cup for Lord Minghui, sat down and asked in a low voice, "What my aunt said just now, but is it all true?" ”
"What?" Lord Minghui blinked, "Oh, what did you say about Miss Zhou?" Hey, that kind of life and death matter, how can I talk nonsense. I don't believe that one day I will go to the imperial sister-in-law and take you out for a walk, and you will know it by sitting in the carriage and walking around the streets and alleys. ”
The last sentence of the county lord Minghui was open, but Princess Changle took it seriously, and said with a bright eye: "Auntie's words are true?" ”
Lord Minghui's breath was stagnant, however, when she said the words and spilled the water, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Naturally." Although we are different in generation, in fact, I am only two years older than you, and I have lied to you since I was a child. ”
"I know, I know, Aunt Minghui has done the best for me. In the whole palace, I only have one confidant and friend, my aunt. ”
"Speaking of which, in fact, I also think that the imperial sister-in-law is too strict with you."
When this said to Princess Changle's heart, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes and said: "The queen mother, she also has difficulties, as a child, you must be considerate." ”
This is talking about Empress Xiao's background, Lord Minghui had an epiphany, nodded and changed the topic, "Tell you quietly, your prince brother is about to choose a concubine, it is estimated that in the next period of time, the palace will be very lively." ”
"Really?" Princess Changle was very surprised, she didn't get any news of such a major event as the prince's choice of concubine.
"Well, when my father was talking to my mother, I accidentally heard it, and the imperial sister-in-law had several names in her heart, and she asked my father to measure and inquire in private."
"How can it be so fast?"
Princess Changle still couldn't believe it, she and the prince were dragon and phoenix twins, and their fifteen-year-old birthday had not yet passed.
"It's not small, in four months, you'll be in time. I heard my father say that the first emperor got married at the age of fourteen, and your brother only got to the step of choosing a concubine, and it was at least a year from the selection to the wedding. ”
Princess Changle nodded slightly, and quietly asked her who was the queen mother's choice, Lord Minghui hesitated, and muttered a few names in her ear, Princess Changle's face gradually sank. Obviously, she wasn't very happy with them. Lord Minghui smiled and pinched her, and quipped: "Little girl, are you still not satisfied with these?" Tell me, who are you satisfied with? ”
Princess Changle thought about it seriously and said, "If you want me to say, my cousin Xi is not bad." ”
She counted Zhou Hexi's merits with her fingers, and didn't pay attention to the gloomy look in the eyes of the county lord Minghui.
"First, she and I are cousins, if she becomes the crown princess, wouldn't it be better to kiss and kiss?"
"Second, what a blessing a person who does not die in two great tribulations. Although I haven't seen her for several years, I can conclude that Cousin Xi is a prosperous man. ”
"Also, how interesting it would be for such a legendary man to live in the palace and be my companion, auntie, don't you say?"
