"Is it like the father and the queen mother?"

Empress Cao was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "Most of the couples in the world are like this. ”

Liu Yan leaned on Queen Cao, was quiet for a while, and then said, "But Sister Yingluo doesn't want to marry." ”

Yingluo didn't expect the topic to turn around to him.

If he had set a bad example for the princess, Yingluo felt that he was really guilty.

"Princess, slave maid, this is different." Yingluo hurriedly explained: "The slave maid is because she has experienced ups and downs since she was a child and feels that her life is stable by the queen's side, so she doesn't want to go out of the palace to get married." In fact, the slave and maid can't guarantee that they will not regret it in another five or ten years. Now the sisters who are on an errand together, like Xiangluo, are going to get married, and in a few years, they should have a group of children, and maybe the slaves and maids will regret it, envy it, and be very uncomfortable. ”

Liu Yan made Yingluo laugh.

Yingluo is the palace maid in charge of the Yilan Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she holds great power, who dares to disrespect her in the palace? She herself is becoming more and more steady, Liu Yan has never seen her in such a hurry for a long time, and she has said so many words in one breath.

In fact, she also understands what Yingluo means.

As a palace maid, she is already the top in the palace. In the future, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, she will steadily become Shanggong and continue to be in charge of Yilan Palace. It is really not easy for Yingluo to get to where it is today. She slept later than others, and she often got up the earliest, she had to know what was going on inside and out, someone once wanted to make a stumbling block pull her down, and more than once, so many ups and downs she had come over, and if she gave up all this to get out of the palace to get married, Liu Yan felt sorry for her.

Yingluo is a very strong girl, if she goes out of the palace to marry, has children, husbands and children, and takes care of housework, maybe she will soon be unknown to everyone. Yingluo just said that maybe she will be envious when she sees the harmony of other couples and daughters in the future, but Liu Yan also knows that even if she is envious, Yingluo will not change her choice. Compared with family happiness, she would rather have a decent and respectable life now.

And if you marry......

It's not that Liu Yan wants to say something ugly, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to be my own master after getting married, after all, all ethics and etiquette make women obey their husbands.

As Cao Huangkou said, most of the husbands and wives in the world are the same.

Of course, Liu Yan is different.

Although there is a husband as a wife, but the princess is married, and the relationship with the horse is still divided between the monarch and the minister, and the horse does not dare to disrespect her.

"Then what does my father mean about my marriage? What kind of person does he want me to marry? ”

Empress Cao smiled: "Your colt, of course, you have to like it yourself." Your father, the emperor......" Empress Cao thought for a while: "He didn't want to use your relatives to entrap anyone, the reason why he didn't make a decision for a long time was that he was reluctant to let you go, and secondly, he also felt that he couldn't cheapen a certain kid's wolf ambition." ”

Who a certain kid is, their mother and daughter know it by heart, so they don't have to point it out.

Liu Yan was puzzled: "Really? Just so? ”

"Am I still lying to you?" Empress Cao said softly: "You are not in a hurry to get married at your age, and your father is also afraid that you will be deceived by people's rhetoric." ”

"I'm not stupid, can I still be deceived?" Liu Yan asked in a low voice: "Queen Mother, what kind of person do you want me to marry?" ”

"I," Queen Cao sighed with some emotion: "I just look forward to you marrying someone who is good for you, well, if you have an honest character." ”

Liu Yan smiled and threw himself into Queen Cao's arms: "Queen Mother, your requirements are too low." ”

Is it low?

Empress Cao looked at her daughter who was still coquettish in her arms.

Although this child is very intelligent, after all, he is still young and has few things. In another ten or twenty years, she will know that it will not be easy to do these two things. As the saying goes, knowing people knows faces but doesn't know hearts. If you want to find a noble, literary and handsome son-in-law, these are easy for Queen Cao. Because these things are real, you can see and touch, you can put them together to compare and estimate, and it is easy to distinguish between true and false.

But people's hearts and character are not so easy to see clearly. Even if you have been friends for decades, you may not be able to see a person's true character clearly, white as new, as old as before, it seems to be a very ordinary sentence, but the meaning is profound, where can people who have not been tempered by the years taste it.

Liu Yan came out of the Yilan Palace, and the sedan chair was already waiting outside the door.

Dou Tang asked, "Does the princess go back directly, or do you want to go elsewhere?" ”

Liu Yan didn't say anything for a while.

In the past, if she wanted to see her little brother, she went directly to Chongde Palace, which was close and convenient. But not anymore.

The little brother has moved to the palace outside the palace, and Liu Yan wants to see her, so he has to go to the palace.

Although the road is not far, only a few miles away, it is ......

Liu Yan felt that the little brother seemed to have moved to another place, and the palace was his home, the home of him and Princess Zhao. And Liu Yan is not from that family, she wants to see her little brother, just like she goes to other people's houses as a guest.

"Let's go back. By the way, what day is the little brother's banquet? ”

Dou Tang remembered clearly: "Back to the princess, it's the eighth day of the new year." ”

That's the day after tomorrow.

Oh, the little brother moved to a new house to have a banquet, and Liu Yan, like everyone else, backed up the ceremony and then went to a banquet.

The sedan chair was lifted very steadily, and Liu Yan raised his head. The umbrella on the top of the head is vermilion, embroidered with delicate and gorgeous luan phoenix. Further up, from a distance, the weather is fine today, the autumn rain of the past few days has already fallen, now is a good time for the autumn high and refreshing, the sky is so blue, so clean, people are slightly dizzy in front of their eyes, as if they are going to be submerged by this blue.

Maybe that's why everyone has to get married. Everyone else will get married, everyone has their own wives and children, their own days, and there are very few people who don't get married. Maybe I didn't think it was anything at first, but the more time passed, the feeling of being rejected by everyone was too uncomfortable.

There are a lot of people in the palace who are not married, and it goes without saying that the eunuchs are destined to have no chance with the joy of family. The Shang Gong has never been married, and Mr. Cheng, she has never been married, and she has been alone for decades. But Liu Yan also knows that Mr. Cheng lives a very lonely life, when her parents are still alive, she has to live in her own home, and after her parents are gone, she has to look at the face of her brother and sister-in-law, so Mr. Cheng moved out of his home early, got an errand in the palace, and had a place to live.
