Xiang Qin, who didn't know what to say, tightened her heart and hurriedly asked her sister: "You won't see Brother Yun again?" ”

Xiang Yuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Where is it, what am I doing not seeing Shen Yun?" ”

"That'...... That's it. Xiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but she was inexplicably disappointed in her heart, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't continue because her sister took the initiative to divert the topic. When it comes to the gift of Xiang Qin and Lu in the coming year, it is not long after the mother gives birth at that time, Xiang Qin said sensibly, "My gift of Ji Lu does not have to be as grand as my sister, it is better to put all my thoughts on the queen mother." ”

Xiang Yuan continued to comb his sister's long hair, and said with a smile: "How can my father and queen mother be reluctant, you can't decide this matter." ”

They chatted all over the world, and inadvertently talked about the second prince, Xiang Qin said: "The imperial grandmother must be disappointed, she wants to see her grandson and daughter-in-law every day." ”

Sure enough, as the little princess said, the first day the emperor came back, the queen mother didn't talk about it, and the next day Min'er went to the Longevity Palace to ask for peace, the queen mother was worried about it, although she didn't blame Min'er, but she always mentioned this matter, she asked Min'er Shuguifei which family's child she picked, and Min'er couldn't answer.

The Queen Mother sighed unabashedly: "Concubine Shu was a little cautious in the past, and I don't know if she has changed after so many years, is the child by her side now?" Don't follow her to learn the same temperament. ”

At that time, Yunshang was also on the side, so he relieved the siege for the queen and said: "Queen Mother, you have a child you like, why do you have to wait to see the one who has met Concubine Shu?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her and smiled helplessly: "She is already very pitiful, don't you feel sorry for your cousin?" ”

Hearing this, Yunshang quietly looked at Min'er, and when she saw the queen signaling her to stop talking, she closed her mouth in amusement. After following the queen to Hanyuan Palace, he brought it up again and said: "Niangniang, don't go to your heart, the queen mother's mood has been like this all her life, no matter what, my cousin followed her when she was young." ”

Min'er said nonchalantly: "It's not a coincidence this time, otherwise everything will be as they want, they really want to blame me, and I won't care." At the moment, the emperor looks at me very closely, and you see that the next year will be exempted from the big and small festivals, but he doesn't want me to worry about tiredness. But the wedding of the second prince must not be sloppy, it is the year of the weak crown, it is bound to be grand and grand, I have the patience to wait for a year and a half and then do it for him, but if the queen mother or your cousin can't wait, I won't stop it. ”

Yunshang said: "I'll visit her in a few days and talk to her." ”

Min'er smiled: "It's still not necessary, we just know our thoughts." ”

As he was talking, he saw a pair of daughters returning from outside the palace in the distance, the two stopped to look at it, and Yunshang said enviously: "In the blink of an eye, the little people like pink balls have grown up, so slim and elegant, one is better looking than the other, I don't know which kid will be blessed in the future and be able to get the princess." ”

Min'er glanced at her lightly, and sure enough, she heard Yunsheng chatter: "I'm afraid that stupid boy in my family is not worthy." And she never hid her thoughts in front of the queen, and said frankly to Min'er, "You don't know, these days in Yuanzhou, the queen mother talked to me about everything except for her granddaughter-in-law, that is, her grandson-in-law, saying that since Shen Yun was determined to marry Yuanyuan, he shouldn't be so close to others. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Min'er frowned slightly, "They're still children." ”

Yunshang hurriedly said: "Isn't it, and let's just listen to it, but the Queen Mother will take it seriously, she must not say such things in front of the children." ”

At this time, the two girls had already arrived, and after saluting in a proper manner, Xiang Yuan stepped forward and pestered his mother and said: "We still have to help the great-grandmother and grandmother pack their luggage, what did the queen mother do to urge us to come back, and I thought that the great-grandmother came to the capital, and we can be by our side every day." ”

Min'er glanced at her, what she wanted to say was in her expression, the little girl was smart, pouted and didn't argue anymore, and carefully helped her mother back to the dormitory to rest. On the contrary, Min'er remembered what she promised her before going out, and sent Xiang Yuan to take her sister to choose her favorite palace, so that she could leave Hanyuan Hall and live elsewhere independently. Xiang Yuan thought that his mother was just perfunctory at that time, but it turned out to be true at this moment, and immediately jumped and pulled his sister away.

Looking at her daughter's happy figure, Min'er smiled and sighed: "Women don't stay, but as long as they can live well in the future, even if they go to the ends of the earth, I will let go." ”

Yun Sheng waved his hand again and again: "I can't bear it, and Shen Zhe can't bear his daughter." ”

Let's say that the sisters left the Hanyuan Palace, Xiang Yuanhuan happily wanted to choose the palace he liked, and when Shen Yun came to the harem alone, it was Xiang Qin who called her sister down and told her that Brother Yun was coming, and she also took the initiative to run and bring Shen Yun to her sister.

"I'm going to choose my own palace, and the queen mother promised to let me live alone." Xiang Yuan said with a smile, "Do you think it's better for me to choose the waterfront, or to be far away from the secluded?" It's better to be farther away, isn't it, otherwise it's no different from living in Hanyuan Palace. ”

Shen Yun said seriously: "Living alone will inevitably be lonely and lonely, and you will get tired of it after two days of freshness, why bother to stir up the crowd, just choose a random place to try it." ”

Xiang Yuan frowned and said angrily: "You are really disappointed, don't tell you." ”

The proud princess got angry, turned around and walked away with a big grin, Xiang Qin said embarrassedly: "Although I think so too, but my sister has been looking forward to it for a long time, why should she extinguish her interest, Brother Yun, you are really." ”

Shen Yun said: "She asked me herself, I just told the truth." ”

"You ......" Xiang Qin had nothing to say, and thinking back to the more than ten years of his brothers and sisters, who were childhood sweethearts, since they began to study and sensible, they had their own ideas, and these two people had nothing to say together, but the elders regarded them as a pair made in heaven.

"Jean." Xiang Yuan called his sister in the distance, and when his sister came to him, he angrily dragged her as he walked and said, "What's the matter next time, let's not tell that person again, my aunt has such a hearty temperament, and the imperial uncle treats the girl as a baby. ”

The younger sister muttered in a low voice: "Sister, Brother Yun is not stupid......"

But Xiang Yuan didn't hear this, as if he wanted to prove that he would not be said by Shen Yun, he carefully chose a palace, took care of it decently, and officially moved over two days later, and lived a small life by himself.

However, the weather is getting colder, the thicker the autumn colors, the more desolate and cold, although this imperial city is the land of heaven, but in the past hundred years, and even more than ten years ago, it has been a place where countless resentful women live, even if Xiang Yuan is a golden branch and jade leaf is in his prime, but the more lively and cheerful the person, the more he can't resist the loneliness of the wind and dead leaves.

didn't wait for August, the eldest princess tossed back to Hanyuan Palace, there is a queen mother and a younger brother, even if it is the leaves that fall on the ground, it is golden and festive. The emperor didn't say anything, it was just a trivial matter, and her sister was even more happy to have her sister come back as a companion, only Xiang Yuan felt that he had no face on his face, so he hid everywhere and didn't meet Shen Yun, and told his sister that if Shen Yun laughed at her behind her back, she must tell herself.

Xiang Qin asked her sister: "What did he say, what is my sister going to do?" ”

Xiang Yuan glared: "What to do?" Hit him! ”

But it didn't take long for Shen Yun to follow his father to leave Beijing on an errand, and it was a few months after they were separated, and they would see each other again in the lunar month, and Xiang Yuan himself forgot about it first.

And in the wax moon, it should be lively to prepare for the New Year, but the queen mother fell ill due to a cold, the elderly people can't stand a little sickness, Min'er is pregnant and is not allowed to serve, the two daughters follow their aunt Jiang Yunshang to wait in the Longevity Palace day and night, and the emperor also comes to accompany his mother as soon as he is free.

After recovering from her illness, the old lady talked about it the most, not knowing if she was blessed to see the day her great-grandson was born.

When Min'er learned these words, she took the initiative to ask the emperor what he thought, and Xiang Ye said: "It's better to get married in the first month, and you have to prepare for the New Year, and you won't be too busy." ”

Min'er asked: "No matter what, it's in a hurry, if the emperor shows his sincerity, he will personally go and bring his daughter-in-law." Speaking of which, I don't know which family Concubine Shu chose to choose. ”

In this way, the emperor and queen had a discussion, and the same words were transmitted to the Longevity Palace, and the queen mother heard that she was finally going to hold a wedding for the second prince, and the pain disappeared for a while, and she was full of anticipation to see her granddaughter-in-law in the first month.

None of them doubted that Concubine Shu would choose any unsuitable person, and the emperor should have listened to Min'er's words and personally went to pick up the child to the capital, but there was an important state affair for a while and he couldn't leave, so he had to pass on the decree and send a minister to let Concubine Shu send the child by herself.

After all, it was the wedding of the second prince, even though Min'er hoped that Concubine Shu would never return to the capital, this time she still acquiesced, and ordered the palace people to tidy up the Anle Palace and welcome their arrival.

Surprisingly, Concubine Shu did not return to Beijing, but just asked the minister to take the future daughter-in-law away, and naturally the child's origin was also clear.

After Qiu Zhenyu and some men in the clan were executed, the women and children of the Qiu family were expelled from the capital, and they were never allowed to re-enter Beijing, they fended for themselves, scattered all over the country, and no one cared about what happened to the family anymore, but Shu Guifei sent, the future daughter-in-law she chose for herself, is really Qiu Zhenyu's granddaughter, Min'er's niece.

On this day, the team to pick up relatives arrived in the capital, Qiu Jingrou was still a baby in swaddling clothes when she left the capital, and when she came back, she was going to become the princess.
