Chapter 466: Marriage
When they went back, the sun was about to set, that is, the days were long and the nights were short, and it was not dark yet, and the emperor had already sent someone to meet them halfway through.
Liu Yan also knew that he had a bit too much fun today, and sure enough, when he went back, he was nagged by Queen Cao.
Liu Yan hurriedly explained, saying that although he had been playing for a long time, he hadn't run far. He also promised to be obedient in the future.
The next day, Empress Cao detained her by her side and stopped her from running away.
Liu Yan didn't feel bored, Queen Cao was full of people here, and there were always people who came to ask An to speak.
It's a pity that the three sisters didn't come this time, although Liu Yu came, she just looked at the scenery around the camp, and most of the time she stayed in her own camp.
In this case, Liu Yan wanted to find someone to ride and talk with, but he had no companion.
Of course, there are people who are willing to come to the princess, but those are the people...... Liu Yan really didn't want to deal with them.
It's Liu Wen, who doesn't know how to change sex in the past two days, but often accompanies Queen Cao.
But Liu Yan didn't have much to say to this niece.
When her mother Da Zhu was alive, Liu Wen was a very willful girl. When her mother died, Liu Wen seemed to have grown up overnight, and she seemed to regard herself as the mother of her younger brother Liu Qi, rather than her sister. Living in Dongyuan, Liu Yan is very clear about this.
She no longer loves to play and laugh like a little girl of the same age, in addition to learning something from Mr. Cheng every day, she focuses on her younger brother, from his food, clothing, housing and transportation to the literary and martial arts classes, even Liu Qi's companions, eunuchs, and even his martial arts masters, Liu Wen has to intervene.
The death of her mother made her a frightened bird, and she always seemed to be worried that as long as she was negligent, her younger brother Liu Qi would immediately encounter life and death danger.
Life is always difficult without a mother's child.
Although Empress Cao takes care of these two sisters and brothers everywhere, the palace has always been a place with complex hearts, and children who grow up in the palace must always learn to protect themselves.
Empress Cao sent an errand to both of them - saying that it was an errand, in fact, it was to teach them some sophistication, so that the two of them would not be bored and bored here.
The errand assigned to Liu Yan was to take care of tea and water.
When people come and go, they always have to entertain refreshments. Queen Cao, except for the hour after lunch, no one came, and the ladies and ladies were really in an endless stream at other times.
The errand assigned to Liu Wen was for her to write down a list of people and guests who came. This job is easy and not tiring, and Queen Cao's doing this also makes Liu Wen recognize more people, and also let others recognize her.
This not only meant to broaden her horizons, but also faintly supported her in front of those people and made face.
Liu Yan stayed in the back but quietly, saying that she was in charge of the tea, in fact, how could she worry about this, Yingluo had already asked people to set up a bamboo couch for her, and the silk mattress was thickly cushioned, Liu Yan sat in the child and had tea to drink, a little heart to eat, and a book to read - if you don't want to read, you can also listen to the Queen Cao and the guests in the front tent.
It couldn't be more relaxing.
The group of palace maids around Empress Cao, led by Yingluo, are not young, and several will be released next year. Empress Cao had already taken a good look at the family for them, and had prepared a thick dowry, so she would not treat them badly.
Yao Luo sat aside and gently fanned Liu Yan - the weather was not very hot today, but after all, the inside of the tent was more stuffy than the outside.
Liu Yan looked at the book for a while, then raised his head and glanced at her.
Yao Luo has lost weight recently, and since the last time she was beaten by the second prince, she has spoken less. This time, Empress Cao also chose a family business for her, and she was going to go out of the palace to marry in the summer.
Yao Luo asked softly, "Does the princess want to eat tea?" β
Her skin was fair, and there were no blemishes at all, and the palace ladies were not allowed to wear makeup, but her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as carefully painted, her lips were slightly pale, and she wore a new palace garmentβsuch a garment, which others also worn, but it was far worse than her.
"Sister Yaoluo, where does the family you marryed live?"
Yao Luo blushed.
Her skin was white, and her blushing was more obvious, as if she had been rubbed rouge, very delicate.
"Back to the princess, the queen mother chose the husband's surname Qin for the slave maid, and he ...... He is an internal guard, and his family lives in Ningxifang, north of the city. β
"Really? How old is the Qin guard? How's it going? β
Yao Luo's head was lowered to his chest, and he was too ashamed to speak.
Xiangluo next to him smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, what's so embarrassing about this?" The princess is not an outsider. She replied for Yao Luo: "That Qin guard is good, twenty-four or five years old, he is very angry and handsome. His family is also very simple, his parents are gone, and he has a younger sister who is ten years old, and his family is also well-off. β
Liu Yan smiled and asked, "How do you know?" β
Xiangluo said: "Marrying someone is a lifelong event, how can you not inquire clearly? I heard that his house is quite spacious, three into the courtyard, and a small garden, Yao Luo married in to be the housewife, no need to serve the in-laws, sister-in-law, it should not be difficult to get along. In a few years, if the Qin guards are promoted and released, will Yao Luo become an official wife? β
Yao Luo was embarrassed by her, and retorted to her in a low voice: "Don't just talk about me, isn't your family affair bad?" β
Xiangluo said, "Okay, what's wrong?" The person I picked myself, naturally, can't be wrong. β
Liu Yan asked with great interest: "Who is Sister Xiangluo's husband's family?" β
Xiangluo said generously: "Niangniang asked me what I meant, and I picked the person myself." Our two families have known each other for a long time, and when I was a child, I used to play with him in the mud and set off firecrackers. In the years since I entered the palace, he has never started a family......"
"Oh, it turns out that you are childhood sweethearts."
Xiangluo smiled: "The princess is a person who has studied books, and what she says is good." Well, even if it's a childhood sweetheart. Over the years, I often brought letters and things to my home, and my family also sent me letters and told me about him. He has never been married anyway, and he won't agree to his family when he tells him to kiss......"
Liu Yan interjected: "He's waiting for you to leave the palace, right?" In fact, you have to tell the queen mother long ago, and the queen mother will definitely fulfill you a long time ago. β
"Niangniang will naturally be fulfilled, but I am reluctant to let Niangniang and these sisters be." Xiangluo said: "This time, everyone went out together, and they will often come and go in the capital in the future." β
"Well, that's a great thing." Liu Yan said: "I also asked someone to prepare a congratulatory gift for each of you, and when you get married, you will bring it together, don't be too simple." β
Together, they said, "Thank you, princess, for the reward." β
Liu Yan lived in Yilan Hall before, and they also served them very carefully, and they have come and gone over the years, and they have formed a friendship, they are going to get married, and Liu Yan naturally wants to express his heart.
This woman has more dowry, and her life is better when she arrives at her in-law's house.
