A few days later, in Qingning Palace, the emperor and He Guifei sat on the head.

Li Mao, who was frightened in the previous assassination of the clan, Li Qi, who was injured, and Li Jue, who was affected by the recurrence of an old injury on his leg, sat side by side, and it was rare for the family to get together.

Li Mao was born with a stutter, and he was most afraid of entering the palace, and at this moment the concubine was softly coaxing his emperor's father to laugh, and he wanted to hide under the chair, so as not to speak for a while; Li Qi's face was sickly pale, leaning back on the chair, as if he was about to fall down at any moment; Only Li Jue, who has been favored since he was a child, has fun in front of his own father and mother, and has no restraints.

The emperor spoke, perhaps because he occasionally wanted to hang his throat, and his voice was still a little pleasant: "Mao'er is tired, go back and rest early." ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Li Mao sat up and stammered in response, walking very happily.

He Guifei looked at Li Mao's burning buttocks, and then looked at her son: "Jue'er's wedding is imminent, let's go back to the house to prepare first." ”

Li Jue was stunned, he was the prince of the prince, shouldn't the wedding be prepared by the group of people in the Ministry of Rites? What do you have to prepare? What's more, Wang Yunfei looks mediocre, and he is unwilling to prepare the wedding in person.

He Guifei glanced at him with her eyes, and then he said goodbye with a smile.

The thin Li Qi looked left and right, and swayed up: "Even so, my father, my mother, and my sons have also retired." ”

"Wait." The emperor waved his hand and asked Li Qian to sit down: "Your injuries have healed?" ”

"Ahem...... Li Qian said respectfully: "It's already good, thank you for your concern." ”

"Hmm." The emperor was very satisfied, and glanced at He Guifei beside him: "Concubine Ai said that she wanted to be a matchmaker for Qi'er?" ”

He Guifei smiled, smiled the best-looking appearance, and said softly: "Sister Zhou went early, so she left one of them, and Qi'er is a few months older than Jue'er, so the concubine naturally has to take care of her more." Now that Jue'er has been engaged, but Qi'er doesn't even have a whereabouts, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, and the concubine can't bear to look at it. ”

After speaking, he cried out, and covered his face with a clever handkerchief.

Li Xuan's heart was filled with coldness, and the emperor hurriedly comforted the concubine: "In this way, it's not me." Then he turned his head and looked at his somewhat strange son, and felt a sense of guilt and unspeakable embarrassment in his heart: "What does Qi'er like?" It can be said that Concubine He knows with you, and she will definitely make a good deal for you. ”

He found out in a trance that his impression of this son was still stuck when Li Qian was six or seven years old and Concubine Ping was still alive. The grown-up and sick son in front of him, he is actually a stranger.

In Daning, the concubines in the palace and the princesses of the noble family have two provenances, one is the triennial selection, all of which are the daughters of good families under the nine officials; The second is that the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee can recommend their daughters and granddaughters, and they can also recommend other virtuous women.

Therefore, He Guifei did this, which is very in line with the rules of the times.

"Ahem, ahem! Father's ...... Child...... Erchen ......" Because of the violent coughing, Li Xuan's fair face flushed sickly, and he breathed evenly under the eunuch's smooth breath: "Erchen is like this, how can he marry a woman?" If you marry into the door, I'm afraid you will ...... Widowed. ”

"You kid!" The emperor was angry and ashamed, and turned to look at He Guifei: "Aifei, doesn't it mean that there are two ladies who are very compatible with Qi'er?" ”

He Guifei stopped crying early, crying is pitiful, and crying for a long time will be annoying. She laughed, "Yes! Chun'er, Jiarong, come in. ”

With her call, two beautiful girls about fifteen years old stepped forward and bowed down to the emperor's concubine Yingying.

The taller and thinner one is called Huo Chun'er, who is the youngest daughter of Huo Zhun, the Duke of Dingguo; The other shorter and mellower is called He Jiarong, who is He Guifei's maiden niece.

Li Qian looked at the two young girls and coughed even more. He remembered that a few days ago, he had just beaten He Jiarong's two brothers so that his mother couldn't recognize them.

The emperor thought he was not satisfied, and sighed in his heart, but He Guifei smiled as if he hadn't seen it: "They are all children who grew up in Beijing, and they are all familiar with each other, and the concubine heard that August 16 is the triennial incense test conference, which is arranged just the day after the release of the autumn list this year." It must be very lively. ”

He Guifei looked at the emperor affectionately: "The concubine thought, it is better to ask them young people to make a bunch of them, and go to the incense tasting meeting to have a long experience." also give the eldest princess a birthday. ”

"Oh? Is my aunt's birthday going to be a big deal? Don't you want to choose a county horse for Zhao'er? Hahaha, okay, it's still Concubine Ai's thoughtfulness. The emperor made the final decision, and as soon as Li Qian left, the two women behind followed.

Huo Chun'er and He Jiarong did not deal with each other, but they had to maintain peace in front of Li Xuan.

Both of them have some true feelings for Li Chen, especially Huo Chun'er.

Putting aside Li Xuan's illness and weakness, his appearance is extremely handsome, especially a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, lazy and noble when he hangs down, and extraordinary when he is raised.

Huo Chun'er plucked up her courage: "Brother Qi, I heard that you will be a big wooden horse, can you take me to see it?" ”

He Jiarong was not to be outdone: "Your Highness, the courtiers also want to follow and see." ”

Li Xuan's lips were hooked, and a pair of eyes were full of coldness: "This king, I am not familiar with you." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate, leaving two competitors to stare dryly.

Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Gonggong Cao looked pity: "Your Highness, then Miss He is outstanding, dignified and gentle, and Miss Huo is also delicate and cute, you can't even look down on it?" ”

Li Qian closed his eyes and answered lazily.

Where does he dare to look at it?

These two, one with his back to the Queen Mother, and the other with his back to He Guifei, if there is only one, I am afraid that I will successfully give myself a marriage, and now the two of them are together, and they must always be asked to fight and delay.

He doesn't want to marry anyone.

…………

Xiao Yang pulled the horse and stopped in front of the gate of the capital.

This time I came back because of my mother's birthday, but at the same time, I came back because of ......

"Ji Qing, wait for me!" Cui Lang was born in the Cui clan of Qinghe, and said that he was the younger brother of Cui Wang, the eldest princess of longevity, but the two had always looked at each other, and he caught up and dusted off the ashes on his face: "You are a person, you ran faster, and you actually ate your horse's hooves all the way." ”

The city gate official saw that it was Xiao Shizi returning to Beijing, and let the group enter the city after a short pass.

Cui Lang threw the reins of the horse to the Xiao family's soldiers behind him, and habitually stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Xiao Yang: "What's wrong?" I see that the closer you get to the capital, the more you look like a saw-billed gourd, could it be that something happened? ”

Xiao Yang shook off his arm and didn't speak.

"Oops, wait for me!" Cui Lang caught up: "What can you do?" It's nothing more than the eldest princess marrying you a daughter-in-law, and you don't like it. ”

Xiao Yang turned his head and looked shocked: "How do you know?" ”

"Hahaha, it turned out to be true!" Cui Lang laughed and said, "But didn't you care?" How did you suddenly change your mind? ”

Xiao Yang opened his mouth and closed it again, revealing a trace of nervousness.

Cui Lang's eyes lit up: "I know, are you looking down on a girl?" ”
