Qi Ruyi is a smart person, since she has already seen Nanzhu, there is no need to hide it any longer.

Xiao Yuan took her as his own, looked left and right, no one paid attention to the two of them, and told the matter of the third prince and Chu Qi.

Qi Ruyi couldn't hide his surprise: "So that's the case." ”

Xiao Yuan saw that her expression was wrong, and he was curious: "Why is Sister Ruyi so surprised?" ”

Qi Ruyi smiled: "It's my grandfather who thinks something is wrong and wants me to ask you." He thought that you and Ah Chou had an awkward quarrel, and he didn't want Ah Chou to come to the palace to study again, so he specially asked me to persuade you, the Chu family should not be offended. That being the case, I had to tell my grandfather as soon as I got back, there was so much to do here. ”

Qi Jing talks about government politics and has never hidden it from her grandchildren. Qi Ruyi understands more things than Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan couldn't hide his curiosity and asked Qi Ruyi: "Sister Ruyi, who else is involved in the matter of the third brother and Ah Qi?" ”

"Why are you confused?"

Qi Ruyi's mouth opened, and he covered his mouth and chuckled: "That's it, I'm confused, you are young, and you are studying in Hanzhang Pavilion, and it is common sense not to notice this." In fact, on the side of Huaqing Palace, the preferred candidate is the Yu family. ”

Xiao Yuanhao's mind flashed with that face that was overwhelming, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Yu Xueruo? ”

Qi Ruyi pursed her lips meaningfully: "I won't tell you, I'll go to find my grandfather." Okay, you can't meddle in this. Grandfather has consulted with Dingguo Gong, you are still young, everything is to protect yourself. The affairs of the previous dynasty are too complicated, and the sons are about to grow up one by one, and there will be more and more battles in the future. As long as you keep your heart, the rest of the things will be with my grandfather and Dingguo Gong. ”

Xiao Yuan sent Qi Ruyi to find Qi Jing, and then returned to the fifth princess and the eighth princess to sit down.

The two little princesses had already seen her and Qi Ruyi muttering on the side, but they didn't ask anything.

The eighth princess, who couldn't stay idle, soon found a new gossip: "Look at Duchess Jingguo, why did she keep letting her daughter play with the ninth brother, what was her idea?" ”

Xiao Jianbao, the ninth son, is only about three years old this year, and is playing with Xu Yingning of Jingguo's family under the care of his nursing mother. The two children are of the same age, and they play very well.

Duchess Yan of Jingguo held her little daughter Yingge in her arms, and turned her head to look at Xu Yingning from time to time. Once Jiugongzi played by herself, she glared at Xu Yingning's nurse, and the nurse hurriedly took Xu Yingning to play with Jiugongzi.

It's quite revealing.

Fortunately, He Zhaorong is a person who knows etiquette, but he was not unhappy because of Yan's move, nor did he sneer at Xu Yingning, a child, and specially held Jiugongzi to teach him to play with the Xu family's sisters.

This He Zhaorong is a wonderful person.

Xiao Yuan retracted his gaze and squeezed the eighth princess's hand: "Eighth sister, don't say it, the ninth sister is still staring at you." ”

It was a joke, but the eighth princess took it seriously, got up and looked at the ninth princess, and sure enough, she saw that the ninth princess was constantly looking here: "What about me?" I'm telling the truth, Xiao Yuan's wife herself is not willing to deal with the Yan family. She knew it. ”

The fifth princess admonished bitterly again: "Auntie, you eat yours." Why bother fighting with her? She's also a poor person. The eldest sister-in-law left Kyoto with her brother, and she was alone again, looking strange and pitiful. ”

"Who's to blame?" The eighth princess rolled her eyes, "You see that the Zheng family is still her companion, and she doesn't want to play with her." She has a problem with her own life, which is no wonder to others. ”

The fifth princess shook her head and smiled bitterly, went to talk to Qian Junru and the others, and didn't care about the eighth princess anymore.

Fortunately, the eighth princess also knew how to be measured, and she didn't make a fuss on such an occasion, and the day of September 19 passed lively.

Xiao Yuanhao followed the Empress Dowager Xu back to the west side hall, and the Empress Dowager Xu was still very dissatisfied with today's feast.

"Yu Congyun is the best and strongest person, and on such an important day today, she really let it go. It can be seen that it is because of the marriage of Ashna's child that it is heartbroken. ”

After waiting for a long time and seeing no response, Empress Dowager Xu thought that Xiao Yuan was asleep.

Looking down, Xiao Yuanhao's eyes were burning, staring at the red candle on the case in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's on your mind?"

Empress Dowager Xu coughed, and Xiao Yuan came back to her senses: "No, what can I have on my mind, grandmother thinks too much." I was just wondering how long Yu Taiwei would have to make his father wait. ”

Empress Dowager Xu touched her little granddaughter's head lovingly: "Why did you suddenly remember this?" ”

"Grandmother," Xiao Yuan leaned into Empress Dowager Xu's arms, "At today's feast, Sister Ruyi came to talk to me, saying that she and Sister Junru of the Qian family went to see Ah Yan. When Sister Ruyi saw Nanzhu, she became suspicious and came to ask me. My grandmother knew that I had always been good friends with Sister Ruyi, so she said everything to Sister Ruyi. ”

"I regret it now."

She knelt on Empress Dowager Xu's knees, raised her face, and her eyes were half-hidden in confusion: "Grandmother, Sister Ruyi said that she would tell Gong Qi about this." I think that when Duke Qi goes back tonight, he will visit the Dingguo Mansion at night to discuss this matter with my grandfather. I...... I was uneasy. ”

Mrs. Xu's tone was slightly gloomy, but it was quickly replaced by kindness.

Ah Hao is still a child, and the king is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, how to let a child be immersed in court affairs?

If it weren't for Duke Qi and Duke Dingguo, Empress Dowager Xu would have had a seizure on the spot.

Well, this matter cannot be told to the king. The king and Dingguo Gong had already had a stiff quarrel because of Aman's affairs, but now it has finally eased up, if it is a re-accident, it will not be good for Aman.

Empress Dowager Xu's clenched hand loosened, and she continued to slowly touch Xiao Yuan's good bun: "Ah Hao, don't be uneasy. Your grandfather and Grandpa Qi are for your own good. ”

"However, I don't want the marriage between Brother and Ah Gong to be mixed with these complicated things."

Xiao Yuan straightened up and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Xu, the confusion in his eyes was like water, about to overflow.

"It's not right. Brother and Aron are happy with each other, and the two of them want to join hands for a lifetime, and that is enough. Father or Mrs. Allure or the Chu family, if they don't agree, just use a simple reason. For example, the father and Mrs. Allure disliked Ah Yan's ugly appearance. The Chu family dislikes Brother for being a reckless man. ”

Although this reason is simple and crude, it is not mixed with interests, and it is clean. But if it is because of the Yu family, because of the court, or even because of the position in the future, and blocking this family business, it will make people feel panicked. ”

Empress Dowager Xu smiled, her little granddaughter, although she is extremely smart, she is still a little girl, how can she know that this court is sinister.

"Ah Hao, grandmother asks you a word, and you will answer grandmother after you think clearly."

Xiao Yuan straightened his waist: "Grandmother just asks." ”

"Well, grandmother asked you, your third brother asked to marry Ah Qi, or Ah Qi liked your third brother, are you sure that they are just from their hearts, not from each other's identities, thinking about what benefits can be achieved after marriage?"
