After all the dancers arranged by Prince Ruyi retired, there were court musical instrument classes arranged before to play on stage, all of which were light and elegant tunes.

After Prince Ruyi dedicated the portrait of Guanyin to the queen, he also retired to change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, he sat next to Shen Tuwen. The two brothers bit their ears twice from time to time through the sound of music.

Prince Ruyi: Brother Huang, is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion sitting opposite? Shen Tuwen: If you want to know, just ask her directly.

Prince Ruyi: Isn't asking her the same as asking you?

Shen Tuwen: How can this be the same? I don't know her well.

Prince Ruyi: How can you not be familiar? And they said she was your destined princess.

Shen Tuwen: Rumors fly the fastest, but they stop at the wise. I heard that the Taifu have been on sick leave recently, should I recommend a few more to you?

Prince Ruyi: The royal brother should worry more about his life's major events, although the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to share the worries of the imperial brother.

Shen Tuwen: I received the prince's wishes.

Prince Ruyi: I know that the imperial brother has always been reserved, and it is not good to lower his status. Why don't I ask Miss Xiao quietly for you later, does she like this family business?

Shen Tuwen: The prince is really bored, why don't I ask my father on your behalf and hand over some unimportant government affairs to you, so that you can familiarize yourself with government affairs as soon as possible, and you can also share your father's worries.

Prince Ruyi: If it is peaceful today, the government is harmonious, and there are not too many government affairs to deal with, even my father is very comfortable every day. But the emperor's life's events made the father and mother anxious, so the younger brother couldn't help but ask.

Shen Tuwen: I think the prince is in a hurry to get me married, so I can find a good partner, and you are not too young to speak. In fact, if you want to be the prince of you, you don't have to worry about whether I will become a family or not. It is long overdue to take care of your family affairs, after all, your marriage is related to the country.

Prince Ruyi: I have long known that the imperial brother is like a god, have you seen that my heart belongs?

Shen Tuwen: Oh, is that really the case? I don't know whose daughter it is?

The two of them were whispering here, and Xiao Liuli's mother and daughter on the other side saw all these in their eyes, and Mrs. Dou quietly turned her head sideways and said in Xiao Liuli's ear: "You see, the prince and the prince are really brothers, and they are still busy talking about it for a while." ”

Xiao Liuli is naturally not good at talking too much, but just showed a modest and decent smile.

Prince Ruyi glanced over there quietly, and then said to Shen Tuwen: "I recently met a particularly interesting girl, she is different from all the women I have seen before. ”

"So you're tempted?" Shen Tu asked lightly.

"Although my heart is moved, I just can't make up my mind," Prince Ruyi said a little vaguely: "I want to wait for the day when the emperor brother has time to check for me." ”

"This kind of thing is about you and me, how can others sit for you to win?" Shen Tuwen said with a lack of interest: "You don't even know your own heart, even if others help you make decisions, it's in vain." ”

"Of course, what the imperial brother said is reasonable," Prince Ruyi still looked gentle and elegant: "It's just that my marriage is not just my personal matter, I need to seek the consent of my father and queen mother, and before that, I naturally want to win the support of the imperial brother." ”

"I don't know whose daughter it is?" Shen Tuwen heard him say this and asked, "How did you come from?" ”

When Prince Ruyi heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile and said seriously: "She was born in a commoner, but she is smart and beautiful, today's dance was choreographed by her for me, and the people present were not amazed when they saw it, it can be seen how Lan Xinhui is like." ”

Shen Tuwen frowned slightly when he heard him say this. A bad feeling rose in my heart, but I was not very sure. wanted to ask Prince Ruyi some more questions, but was interrupted by the queen.

At this moment, the queen saw that the two brothers were not finished, so she said to Shen Tuwen and Prince Ruyi: "You two brothers can toast these ladies upstairs one by one on behalf of the queen mother, and you must not lose your courtesy." ”

When the two brothers heard this, they had to get up. Starting at the table where the queen is seated, toast in turn.

The ladies of the palace were all sincerely afraid, only Xiao Liuli got up and generously took the wine poured by Prince Ruyi.

Shen Tuwen deliberately avoided her, Xiao Liuli knew that Shen Tuwen didn't seem to like him very much, so what did it matter? What he wants is to stabilize the position of Princess Zhaojing first, and then go to win the favor of Prince Zhaojing.

This is not the case between men and women, although it is good for two people to be happy with each other, it is inevitable that they will hate each other. If the feelings in this world can be trusted, there is nothing that cannot be trusted.

The relationship she wants to establish with Shen Tuwen is a mutual need, not a simple sense of you and me. She believes that with her own ability, she will become a qualified princess, and she can let Shen Tu Wen rest assured that she will take care of the affairs of the Zhaojing Palace, and she can make the emperor and empress satisfied with herself, which is enough.

What's more, a person as cold as Shen Tuwen has any sincerity? Since childhood, I have been accustomed to seeing clouds and rain and deceit, and no matter who I face, I will be wary.

In this way, it seems that Shen Tuwen is not even as good as Prince Ruyi, and he is more gentle and easy to get along with.

But at Xiao Liuli's age, marrying Prince Ruyi doesn't seem realistic. After all, if you want to be a few years older than the prince, the old customs of the Great Qin Kingdom, whenever the royal family marries, the man needs to be older than the woman. With this alone, Xiao Liuli can't be the crown princess.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Tuwen did not toast Xiao Liuli precisely to avoid suspicion. In short, the human heart is like this, if you decide something, you will look like it.

Just like Shen Tuwen's face was always the same, but they always inexplicably felt that he was affectionate when he looked at Xiao Liuli.

Prince Ruyi and Shen Tuwen finally finished toasting, and Shen Tuwen found an excuse to go downstairs.

When he arrived downstairs, those civil and military officials naturally wanted to toast around him, so that until the final banquet, he did not go back to the second floor.

The queen got up early in the morning, and at this time she was very tired, so she called the orders of several princes to accompany the ladies and dependents, and she herself was carried to the back by the eunuchs to rest.

As soon as the queen left, Xiao Liuli's mother and daughter became the center of their table. Until the banquet was over, there were still people pulling them to talk endlessly.

On the way back, Mrs. Dou whispered in her daughter's ear: "Zhiyong Gong never disdained to talk to me before his edict, but today he pulled me to take the initiative to talk about family life, and said that I would often go to their house to sit and sit when I was free." It seems that this person's heart has always been snobbish, not to mention any kisses, it is better to see whose waist is harder! Good daughter, you really gave the Xiao family a face! ”
