297, childhood sweetheart
"The queen mother, the son-in-law must always maintain the etiquette and demeanor of a princess in front of outsiders, if it is like this in front of the queen, how tired the son-in-law is." Changle grimaced at his mother and said with a righteous expression.
Xinyue and Yan Qiu both pursed their lips and chuckled, and Empress Changsun looked angry and funny, and was about to teach her a lesson, when she suddenly saw a palace maid walking quickly towards this side.
"Niangniang, Mrs. Eldest Sun has brought Xiao Langjun and the little lady to the palace." The palace maid came to the eldest grandson queen and bowed respectfully before speaking.
"Oh, is it Cousin Eldest Sun and Cousin Yu who are here, Queen Mother, let's go back quickly." When Princess Changle heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The eldest grandson cousin in her mouth is the eldest son of the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson Chong is five years older than Princess Changle, and his appearance inherits the advantages of his parents, he is very handsome, and his temperament is gentle and gentle, and Princess Changle is very close to him.
The cousin Yu in her mouth is the daughter of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Chong's mother, all of whom are from the Cen family, two years older than her, and are now eleven years old, she is Changle's companion, and she reads with several princesses in the palace.
Although Changle likes Changsun Chong's cousin very much, as she gets older, there are differences between men and women, and she can't drag him to play with him all the time like when she was a child, but she spends more time with Changsun Yu.
Empress Eldest Sun looked at her daughter's happy appearance, and shook her head a little funny, her daughter has many brothers and sisters, but her favorite playmates are the two children of her brother's family.
Hearing that the sister-in-law brought her nephew and niece over, the eldest grandson queen was also very happy, and soon returned to the Lizheng Hall with her daughter.
As soon as the Cen family and the two children saw the eldest grandson queen, they immediately put down the teacup and stood up, and came to her in three steps and two steps to salute: "The Cen family of the eldest grandson mansion has seen Niangniang, Niangniang Sheng'an. ”
"Nephew Changsun Chong, niece Changsun Yu has seen Niangniang." Changsun Chong and Changsun Yu spoke separately.
"Sister-in-law doesn't need to be polite, Chong'er, Yu'er all get up." Empress Eldest Sun stretched out her hand to help her sister-in-law up, and said another word to her nephew and niece.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." After Changsun Chong and Changsun Yu got up, they saluted Changle, who came in behind the queen.
"No courtesy, no courtesy, cousin, cousin, aunt came to find the queen mother, there must be something to talk about, let's not be here, you go to my palace to play." Princess Changle waved her hand and spoke.
Neither Changsun Chong nor Changsun Yu answered, and subconsciously raised their eyes to look at Empress Changsun, who smiled and said, "Go, Changle, treat your cousin and cousin well." ”
"Sister, I, I'm going too." A few children were about to turn around and leave, when a milky voice came in from outside, and everyone looked up, but it was a pheasant slave who had just woken up from a nap and walked in.
The two-and-a-half-year-old pheasant slave child has walked very steadily, and his words are very clear, but he will just wake up and his mind is still a little confused.
After he woke up every day, he would come to find his mother as soon as possible, and he didn't want to have a guest at home today, so he heard his sister call his two cousins to play, so he blurted out without thinking about it.
"This stinky boy." Seeing this, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"The queen mother, the pheasant slave also has to play with her sister, cousin and cousin." Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the pheasant slave child couldn't help but take a short retreat, ran to his mother's side, stretched out his hand and tugged at her skirt and said.
"The queen mother can't be the master of this matter, and it needs your sister and cousin to decide." Empress Changsun did not immediately agree to her son's request, but pointed to Changle, Changsun Chong and Changsun Yu.
"Sister, Cousin Chong, Cousin Yu." The pheasant slave child suddenly turned his face to Changle, Changsun Chong and Changsun Yu, dragged out his voice, and looked at them with a pitiful face and said.
"Okay, okay, little dramatist, stop acting, let's go over together." Changle was amused by her brother, who had a rich expression, she walked up to the pheasant slave child, reached out and poked his soft and cute face, and took his hand helplessly.
"Princess Changle really has the demeanor of being a sister." Watching a few children leave, Cen couldn't help but smile and said.
"This girl will pretend to be, and she doesn't know how much skin she has in private, but Chong'er and Yu'er, who haven't seen each other for a few months, have grown a lot taller." Empress Changsun said with a smile, Changsun Chong and Changsun Yu are both nephews and nieces of her in-laws, and she doesn't mind the children being close to them.
"Well, Chong'er is fourteen years old, and Yu'er is eleven years old, both of them are growing in age, and they are changing relatively quickly." Cen smiled and continued.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with coming at this time?" Empress Eldest Sun chatted with her for a few words, and then the conversation changed.
"It's nothing, it's just that my mother is a little worried about Niangniang, Princess Changle, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the little princess, but she is getting older and it is inconvenient to go out. Shum replied.
"It's the palace that is not filial, the palace is limited to identity, and it's inconvenient to go home on weekdays, so I asked the prince to take Changle and the pheasant slave to the house to see his mother." When Empress Changsun heard this, her eyes suddenly showed sadness and apology.
Her status can be described as supreme and noble, and because of this, many of her actions will be restricted, such as going back to her parents' home, which is a common thing for ordinary people, but for her, it is extremely difficult.
If her mother wants to see her, she can only come to the palace, and when she arrives in the palace, she has to salute when she sees her......
In the evening, Li Shimin came to the Lizheng Palace, and Empress Changsun was quite surprised by his arrival, and opened her mouth to say: "Why did Your Majesty come here today?" ”
Since Zheng Jieyu entered the palace, he has almost stayed in Yaxi Palace for a period of time, and even the Lizheng Palace has rarely come, and the other concubines have hardly set foot in it, and because of this, he has become more and more dissatisfied with the concubines in the palace.
Li Shimin walked up to her when he heard the voice, stretched out his hand to gently hold her hand, and joked with a smile: "Queen, your words sound sour, aren't you jealous?" ”
"What kind of vinegar to eat? are all old husbands and wives, Zheng Jieyu is a newcomer, Your Majesty should accompany her more, no matter if Your Majesty is here, the concubine just wants to talk to Your Majesty. Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him and said.
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked while pulling her to the soft couch.
"Regarding Changle and Chong'er, the two of them grew up together, childhood sweethearts, Chong'er takes care of Changle in every way, and Changle is also very attached to him...... "Empress Changsun said.
"Well, the eldest grandson Chong is really good, he looks like a talent, and he is the eldest son of the auxiliary machine, but his temperament is too indifferent, which is not the same as the auxiliary machine, he was immersed in poetry, calligraphy and painting at a young age, and he was not very interested in it." After Li Shimin heard this, he groaned a little and said.
