330, the crown princess is determined
Empress Changsun and Mrs. Su's mother and daughter chatted for most of the hour, during which she observed Su Xian many times and kept asking questions.
If you are an ordinary person, seeing her like this, most of them think that this female Mu Ne is not a suitable candidate for the crown princess.
But the eldest grandson queen is different, in her life, she has seen too many capable people and strong people, and the benefits of her vision are extraordinary.
Although this little lady of the Su family has few words, her eyebrows and eyes are supple, her eyes are clear and peaceful, and her words and deeds are neither humble nor arrogant.
If the crown prince can hire such a crown princess, life will not be too bad.
Out of such a heart, that night, when her husband came to the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun told him about her meeting with the mother and daughter of the Su family, as well as her own opinions.
After Li Shimin listened, he pondered for a moment and said: "Since you are so optimistic, let's go to the daughter of the Su Ding family, first find someone to match their eight characters, if it is suitable, I will give the marriage decree." ”
"The selection of the crown princess is extraordinary, and Your Majesty will not think about it anymore?" Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her husband with some surprise.
"What is there to inquire about, the Su family has been very prominent since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Su Yu's branch has been outstanding since his grandfather."
"Such a family, such a court, their eldest daughter, and you can praise it, what else is there to explore." Li Shimin glanced at his wife with some amusement.
Don't talk about the thoughts of Li Shimin and his wife, but on the night that Mrs. Su and her daughter came back, Su Yan came to Mrs. Su's room as soon as she came: "Lady, how about you take Xian Niang into the palace to meet the queen today?" ”
"I thought you really didn't care about this, I looked at the meaning of the queen's mother, most likely because I fell in love with our family." Sufu glanced at her husband.
"......" Su Yan.
Sure enough, within a few days, someone came to the palace, and first asked Su Xian's birthday eight sons, big names and small names, so that after another seven or eight days, in late September, an edict to hire the daughter of the Su family as the crown princess arrived in the Su Mansion.
The ritual of hiring the crown princess is cumbersome, from Nacai, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, invitation, to personal greeting, and it is estimated that it will take more than a year to complete the six ceremonies.
Now that the appointment is made, the time for the prince to officially welcome the concubine will be at least until the end of next year or the beginning of the year after the new year, and the selection of the crown princess will be selected by the Su family, and countless people's jaws will be shocked.
Just like when Chai Zhewei welcomed the daughter of the Yao family, it was all so unexpected.
In terms of the court, the daughter of the Su family is of course qualified to be the crown princess, but the problem is that Su Xian has no sense of existence all these years.
Everyone couldn't figure it out, the emperor and queen were selected and chosen, and in the end, they would choose a princess who was mediocre in all aspects.
Some noblewomen who were prominent and believed that they were the best candidates for the crown princess were so angry that they almost gritted their teeth.
Su Xian didn't take the hearts of these people outside to heart, she still didn't participate in any activities of the noble girls, and when she had free time, she was either reading or tinkering with herbs.
In her opinion, the period before marrying into the East Palace was a rare day of freedom for her, so she naturally wanted to do something she liked, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with studying medicine at all.
The prince's health doesn't seem to be very good, she knows how to heal, and she can take care of him more carefully in the future, right?
As for whether she has any good feelings for the crown prince, Su Xian has no special feelings.
Xu is not yet enlightened, Xu is most of her mind has been delved into pharmacology over the years, and she has not had too many illusions about the relationship between men and women, and getting married is more like a task for her.
No matter who she marries, she will try her best to do her part as a wife, of course, the role of the crown princess is a little different from ordinary people, and she is also prepared for this.
After entering the East Palace, she will naturally do her best to do what a princess should do, and in the first half of the year of marriage, most of the family will invite a special grandmother for her to teach her, and she doesn't have to worry about it.
One afternoon in mid-October, Mrs. Su came to her daughter's yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her daughter wearing a simple green coat and pounding medicine with her sleeves rolled.
She suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly: "Xianniang, you will marry into the East Palace in a short time, why are you still making these things in disregard of your image?" ”
"Auntie, haven't I married yet, with the etiquette of the crown princess, it will take at least a year and a half, and after you invite the teaching grandmother in, it will not be too late for me to learn the rules."
"Besides, the prince's body and bones are not very good, I know some medical skills, and after entering the East Palace, I can take better care of him, right?" Su Xian raised her head, glanced at her mother, and said with a smile.
"You girl, I don't know how many people out there are jealous of you, but how can you ...... yourself?"
Mrs. Su was very speechless when she heard this, and she hated that iron could not become steel, if she let those people outside know that her daughter was so indifferent to this family business, she didn't know how angry she would be.
Since the family affair was decided, the prince would send something to the Su family when he was free, from this point of view, the prince was extremely satisfied with this family affair, but her daughter's performance was very plain.
"A-Niang, this kind of thing depends on chance, jealousy or thirst is useless, otherwise, this thing can't fall on your daughter, right?" Su Xian smiled disappreciatively.
"Okay, I think Xian Niang's mentality is very good, the crown princess is not ordinary, if she is too emotional, she is easy to do wrong things, only if you can face everything with a calm enough attitude, can you really be a princess."
At this moment, the voice of Lord Su Yansu sounded at the door, he went down early today.
"Father." Su Xian gave him a slight salute.
"In your own home, you don't have to be formal, and when you get married, your mother and I should salute you, ma'am, how about you go about your business first?" Shall I talk to Xian Niang? Su Yan waved his hand and turned his eyes to his wife.
Mrs. Su knew that her daughter had always had more in common with her husband, so she glanced at them angrily and turned away.
After his wife left, Lord Su's eyes fell on his daughter again, who was still holding a medicine stick in her hand, and asked with some hesitation: "Xianniang, don't you like the prince?" ”
"Father is too worried, I have a very good impression of the prince, this young man in the city, whether it is compared to his life experience or character, he can't find a few who can beat the prince, how can my daughter not like such a marriage?"
"It's just that the daughter always remembers her father's words, the royal daughter-in-law is not easy to do, and it is not suitable to invest too much emotion, if the relationship is too deep, it is easy to lose her mind, and the princess is even more so, the daughter and the prince are not familiar with each other, and they have never had the opportunity to establish too deep feelings."
"It's enough to have a faint liking like it now." Su Xian said with a calm face.
