Chapter 365: Divine Will
"Changning...... Changning ......" Cao Yu hugged her, and the emotion of losing and regaining hit her, making him cherish Changning more and more.
Changning blinked, his eyes fell on the half-human-high celadon bottle behind Cao Yu, a little distracted.
Outside the door, Cao Hou was nervously pacing left and right, the sun was dazzling, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.
"Hasn't Madame come yet?" He urged.
Changning pressed the monarch and the ministers, he couldn't go in and disturb, and only the eldest princess could go in at this moment.
First, the eldest princess is also a royal bloodline or an elder of Changning, and secondly, the excuse for Changning's trip is to meet the eldest princess, so only the eldest princess can break in and interrupt the lingering between the two.
"Master Hou, Madame is still tidying up her makeup in the room, and said to come over later." The little guy returned.
Yin Qiao stood under the corridor and said with a smile: "Master Hou doesn't need to worry, His Royal Highness is not a man-eating tiger, even if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess arrives late, it doesn't matter, after all, Her Royal Highness is an elder." ”
Cao Hou smiled forcefully, withdrew first, and found the eldest princess hospitalized.
"Master Hou?" The grandmother beside the eldest princess stepped forward and saluted, "Please wait a while, the old slave will go to the princess." ”
Cao Hou nodded and waited outside the courtyard.
This is the rule of the palace, even if he is a high-ranking martial marquis, as long as he is a royal concubine, he must abide by the rules, and if he wants to see his wife, he must first get his wife's permission.
"Your Highness, the Hou Ye asks to see you." Mama entered the report inside.
The eldest princess picked up the grate and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Is that the incident again?" Let's just say that the palace is unwell. ”
"Your Highness, the eldest princess has arrived, and the marquis should invite you to come over to see His Royal Highness." There is a palace maid to remind.
The eldest princess: "Changning came to see Yu'er, what did the palace have fun in the past?" ”
"Yes." Mama stepped aside.
The eldest princess put down the grate again: "Wait, he made his own decisions before, and almost ruined my business, but now it's rare that Changning is willing to meet Yu'er regardless of it, but he can't be asked to make peace." ”
"What do you mean, then."
"Don't invite the husband of the palace in," the eldest princess carefully checked her makeup in the mirror, and said casually: "Drink tea." ”
Cao Hou was invited to the lobby on the side to drink tea, while urging to see the eldest princess.
The grandmothers pushed back and forth, and Cao Hou was finally annoyed.
"Master Hou!" The grandmothers couldn't stop it, so Cao Hou broke into the inner chamberlain.
The eldest princess slammed the grate.
Cao Hou looked around, and everyone retreated.
"Your Highness." He bowed.
"Do you still know that this palace is His Highness?" The eldest princess snorted and picked up another grate to comb her hair.
"Your Highness!" Cao Hou stepped forward impatiently and snatched the grate.
The eldest princess was stunned and shouted randomly: "Presumptuous! ”
This time, Cao Hou did not rush to make amends, but glared at her and said: "Your Highness, this matter is related to my Cao family, Your Highness must not act willfully." ”
The eldest princess laughed angrily, sat back on a stool and smoothed her sideburns in front of the mirror.
"The Cao family, your Cao clan has the palace in charge, and it's not glorious enough?"
Cao Hou handed over the grate.
"There is always an end to honor."
The eldest princess grabbed the grate and slapped it on the table: "Cao family Cao family, I plan for Yu'er to marry Changning, not to continue the glory of your Cao family, you are good, all in the back to pull my hind legs." ”
"Your Highness is angry, this matter is not as simple as His Highness thinks."
"I'm thinking simple?" The eldest princess looked unreasonable.
Cao Hou nodded: "Your Royal Highness is from a noble background, and the first emperor and His Majesty must have never rejected anything from His Highness, but now this matter is different from usual." ”
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "Do you think the imperial brother will reject this palace?" ”
"No, it won't." Cao Hou said.
The eldest princess raised an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty will not give His Highness a chance to speak at all." Cao Hou's face was cold, he paced with his hands, and the eldest princess followed him: "Presumably, His Royal Highness also knew about His Majesty's banquet for the King of Liaodong County last night, and His Majesty chose the timing skillfully, which shows the importance he attaches to the eldest princess. ”
The eldest princess licked her lips: "What the hell do you mean?" ”
"Before yesterday's competition, His Majesty summoned me to the palace and only asked one question." Cao Hou closed his eyes and looked afraid.
"What did the imperial brother ask?" The eldest princess is also in a hurry.
Although she is the same mother as the emperor, she is not the emperor himself after all, and now that she is older, the brother and sister relationship is more than she can think about even if she is good.
"Your Majesty asked, Cao Qing, do you have the heart of loyalty to the monarch and the country."
Cao Hou closed his eyes and repeated the emperor's words, and the green tendons on his forehead skyrocketed, and he was still afraid when he thought about it at the moment.
The eldest princess also stood up: "Brother Huang really asked that?!" ”
Cao Hou did not answer.
The eldest princess was pacing around with a handkerchief, obviously anxious, "What do you mean by this, brother, but what else have you done?" ”
Cao Hou let out a long sigh: "Yu'er has newly defeated the Turks, now is the time to achieve fame, how can I act recklessly." ”
He looked at his wife.
Obviously, only the eldest princess remains.
He had heard of the eldest princess picking among the emperor's daughters, but after all, the eldest princess was from a noble background, and he couldn't control it, and he didn't dare to take care of it, not to mention that the eldest princess was the emperor's own sister, and if she couldn't cause a big incident, the emperor wouldn't blame her.
But the emperor specially summoned him to ask such a question, although he laughed it afterwards, which also made Cao Hou sweat.
The eldest princess is even more entangled.
"But what does the imperial brother think? He neither gave the king of Liaodong County a mouthpiece, nor did he let the Turkic prince ask for marriage, and now he still asks you like this, refusing to let Yu'er marry Changning, what does he want to do, does he want to keep Changning in the boudoir for a lifetime, and be an old girl. ”
"Your Highness!" Cao Hou shouted, unprecedentedly stern, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the doors and windows.
"Your Highness must not speak in vain," Cao Hou closed the doors and windows, and solemnly warned: "Your Majesty has high hopes for the eldest princess, it is not for you and me to spy on it, now there is only one case, let Yu'er get as far away from His Royal Highness as possible, and this one will also be helped by His Highness." ”
The eldest princess sneered: "Hmph, don't think that you can speculate on the holy will after doing a few things secretly for the imperial brother, and tell you that this palace is the royal brother's own sister, and no one knows the imperial brother better than this palace." ”
Cao Hou stiffened, his fists clenched, and he did not speak.
"This palace has its own measure in this matter, and you have to meddle." The eldest princess brushed her sleeves away as she spoke.
Cao Hou let out a long breath.
He knew the eldest princess's temper very well, and now it was shaken, but she just refused to obey his orders and say some things with a good face.
"Let's go." Sui Anhou returned to his usual breezy demeanor and left the main courtyard.
On the other side, the eldest princess walked out of the courtyard and felt scared and a little puzzled.
"If the imperial brother wants to keep Changning by his side, isn't it the best choice to marry Yu'er?" The eldest princess pursed her lips, still making clever guesses.
On the other side, Changning and Cao Yu walked out of the room together, and Cao Yu led her to meet the eldest princess.
"Changning is here." The eldest princess was full of smiles, looked this girl up and down, and didn't realize why the royal brother treated her differently, and only attributed everything to the dead Queen Liu.
"It's noon, let's have dinner together." The eldest princess invited.
Changning agreed to have dinner in the Cao family's Country Garden, and Cao Yu did not leave during the banquet.
When the news came, the main hall of Qianxiang Palace smashed a tea cup on the ground, and the emperor's face was not good-looking.
