Emperor Qiming took a sip of sour plum soup and said with a smile: "I also see that you are doing well here, the sweet and sour are moderate, and it is very delicious." ”

Empress Jiang also smiled: "The concubine also knows that the emperor remembered the food here of the concubine, so he remembered the concubine and came to sit with the concubine." ”

Emperor Qiming laughed, and then pointed at Queen Jiang and said: "You, you, how old are you, and you are still like a little girl who has not grown up. ”

Empress Jiang pouted and said, "Look, look, the emperor is disgusted with his concubines." ”

Emperor Qiming crossed a few cases and reached over, shook Empress Jiang's hand, shook his head and said, "Where is my Yun'er old?" In my heart, my Yun'er will always be sixteen years old when Hongluan first married. ”

Empress Jiang's full name is Jiang Yun, now she is the mother of a country, Fengyi is the world, and she is afraid that only the emperor can call her by Yun'er, and now she listens to Emperor Qiming reading her small characters and saying love words between the beds, she still can't help blushing, and seeing that there are still palace people waiting in the room, she can't help but bow her head slightly, and whisper: "Your ...... Emperor"

That look wanted to refuse to give up, and there was a sense of coquettishness, and Emperor Qiming was a little stunned for a while.

In this way, Queen Jiang became more and more shy, glanced around, deliberately diverted the topic, and said: "In the past, didn't the emperor go to the study to review the chapters?" Why did you come to the concubine's Kunning Palace today? ”

Emperor Qiming withdrew his hand, twisted a core and chilled grape, put it in his mouth and ate it, and then said: "Today, the prince of Zhenbei Hou entered the palace. ”

"Hou Shizi of Zhenbei?"

Emperor Qiming nodded and said: "Chang Yuanzhong is also a handsome talent, I recruited his son into Beijing, and I originally wanted to point out a family business to that kid to show his favor, but this person chose to make me have a headache." ”

Empress Jiang said: "In the Northern Desert War, the Marquis of Zhenbei made immortal achievements, and since he was allowed to give his family a concubine, his status was low, which was inappropriate. ”

"I am also concerned about this, but the status is high, there is no marriage and marriage at the right age, but there are few, and the queen also knows that if the most suitable is said, it is our Mingwei."

Empress Jiang bit her lip and said: "Although Mingwei was not born to a concubine, she has been raised by her concubine since she was a child, and she is no different from her own concubine, she is still young now, and her temperament has not been settled. ”

Emperor Qiming said: "I know your concerns, I am her father, why don't I have such concerns?" I have never decided on the marriage of the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei, and it is also for this reason, but now it is good. ”

Empress Jiang looked at Emperor Qiming suspiciously.

Emperor Qiming said: "What did you come to the palace today to see me?" ”

"Is it related to the emperor's marriage?"

Emperor Qiming nodded and said: "It is said that people are not romantic teenagers, young people, young and frivolous, emotional, and it is not strange to have a favorite girl." ”

Empress Jiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that the prince of Zhenbei is here to ask the emperor for marriage?" ”

Emperor Qiming smiled: "Isn't it? This saves me a lot of trouble. ”

"I don't know which lady it is?"

"The eldest daughter of the family of Du Ziwu, the head of the household, seems to be called... Flying kites. I think that the status of this household servant is a little low, but since the kid himself likes it, it is reasonable to say, but I don't know the situation of this woman, but have you ever said that she has been married? That's why I came to the queen. ”

"Du Feiyu?" Empress Jiang read it twice, and suddenly her face changed, and she said, "Does the emperor remember that a few days ago, the emperor's aunt once let out a word, saying that she wanted to accept a woman surnamed Du as her granddaughter?" ”

Emperor Qiming was also stunned for a moment, and said: "You don't say that I have forgotten about this, is this Miss Du family ......?"

Empress Jiang said: "The concubine remembers clearly, the woman who the emperor's aunt wanted to take in her granddaughter that day was indeed called Du Feikite, and it must be the same person." ”

Emperor Qiming said: "On that day, I also revealed a meaning in the face of the imperial aunt, and the imperial aunt rested this mind, and the woman who can enter the eyes of the imperial aunt, I think there should be something outstanding about her, and this prince of Zhenbei Hou has some vision." However, this Miss Du family is a little interested, so I bothered the queen to send someone to explore her temperament and character, and if it was suitable, I would give them a marriage that would be cheap. ”

At dusk, just after the unitary hour, Du Ziwu and the Li family took Yi'er and Du Yu and brought a group of servants out of the Hou Mansion. Li originally thought that there would be a lantern festival today, but he was afraid that if he went out late, there would be a lot of congestion, so he deliberately went out early, but who would have thought that although it was just a unitary hour, the street was already full of pedestrians, and the carriage was stop-and-go, and it couldn't get up fast at all.

Du Ziwu booked a private room on the Chongming Building on Babao Street as early as possible, and it was a coincidence to talk about this, if this is the best place to see the lanterns, the Guiyan Pagoda over there, and the Chongming Building on Babao Street are all excellent, so the private rooms here are the most sought-after every year, although Du Ziwu went to Chongming Building five or six days in advance to book a seat, but it was still empty, just when he was a little disappointed, but it was just right, when someone came to unsubscribe from the room booked before, this is not, vacated a room out, Just let Du Ziwu pick up this leak.

In terms of distance, Qingxiang Houfu is not far from Babao Street, but the carriage has walked for nearly half an hour, and then it has reached the mouth of the pot outside Babao Street, because there are too many people on Babao Street, the carriage really can't get in, Du Ziwu and his wife led Yier Du Yu had to get off the carriage, surrounded by the guards and maids, and walked towards Babao Street.

On the Chongming Building, there was already a running hall of the little two people into the second floor of the elegant room, some surprises, the location of this elegant room is excellent, facing the street, push open the window, the scenery of the entire Babao Street at a glance.

Because they went out early, everyone didn't have dinner, so Du Ziwu ordered two tables of noodles, the four of them sat at one table, and the rest of the servants and guards who were waiting close sat at one table. After eating, the sky gradually darkened, and those merchants who couldn't wait lit their lanterns one after another, looking down from the window, a bright and clear piece, like a bright fire dragon, very beautiful.

In fact, according to Yi'er's thoughts, she really wanted to go down and observe it up close, but since she went out with Du Ziwu and Li, she knew that her idea would not be realized, but Jiang You had passed the word through tears before, Yi'er didn't think that person would be a master who just talked but didn't practice, no, it wouldn't be long, that person would find a way to find her.

Sure enough, after sitting for less than a cup of tea, someone came in to tell him, saying that the young lady in the mansion of Dou Zhang, the Taifu Temple, was asking to see her outside the door.

Du Ziwu and his wife were surprised, in fact, even Yi'er was extremely surprised, Miss Dou on the Taifu Temple Qing Mansion naturally referred to Dou Ran, speaking of which, Yi'er had only met once in the Ningguo Mansion, and there was no deep friendship, but Dou Ran was gentle and quiet, empathetic, and left a deep impression on Yi'er, plus this woman's bright eyes and bright teeth, she is a rare beauty, although she is only listed at the end of the four beauties in the capital, but in terms of beauty alone, she is not inferior to Liang Keyi, the first of the four beauties.

When Dou Ran was brought in, after everyone greeted each other, Dou Ran said: "The little girl just saw Miss Du's maid in the stairwell, and she took the liberty to look for her, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Li Shi smiled and said: "Miss Dou is too polite, we have just returned to Beijing, and I am still worried about the handkerchief that my kite has not been able to talk about in Beijing." ”

Dou Ran also smiled: "Miss Du is calm and generous, the little girl has been longing for a long time, but she doesn't know ......."

Yi'er smiled and stepped forward to take Dou Ran's hand, and said, "Sister Dou said it well, but she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to Miss Du, doesn't this seem to be angry?" In the Ningguo Mansion, as soon as I saw Sister Dou, I liked it very much, but Sister Dou was included in the four beauties of the capital, a fairy-like person, and she was surrounded by characters like Princess Mingwei, and I didn't know if my sister looked down on me as stupid as me, so I didn't dare to get close to my sister. Since I met my sister by chance today, I have to be more intimate with my sister. ”

Dou Ran was overjoyed and said, "My sister said this, I can't ask for it." ”

Li Shi saw that the two of them were in love, so he said: "You young people, just talk and play tricks, don't be too restrained, even if you want to go down and shop, it's okay, just one point, don't pay attention to safety, the maid guard has to take Fang Cheng tightly." ”

Dou Ran said: "I was thinking about Mrs., there is a lantern riddle shed not far from Chongming Building, many rich ladies and sons are guessing lantern riddles there, I want to take Sister Du over to take a look, I want to beg Mrs. to let go!" ”

Li smiled and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, be careful." ”

With Li's consent, Yi'er led the maid and Dou Ran's master and servant to go downstairs happily, but who knew that Dou Ran and Yi'er took the maid out of Chongming Building, and chased a small guy out of the building, stopped the two of them behind their backs, and bowed down and said: "Miss go slowly, Miss just came out, the little boy called out too much, and shouted to find his sister, Mrs. was helpless, so she had to send the slave over, and I wanted to ask the young lady to go back and coax the little boy first." ”

Yi'er couldn't help frowning, but Dou Ran grinned and said, "Since that's the case, my sister might as well go back first, and I'll come to the house another day to find my sister to play." ”

Yi'er apologized, and blessed Dou Ran, and Dou Ran said again: "I was in Ningguo Mansion that day, and I saw that my sister and the little son had a very good relationship, but it's a pity that I am a thin life, I am the only one in the family, and I have no brothers and sisters for me to be close to, so I really envy my sister." ”

Yi'er smiled, apologized again, and led the person back again.
