Emperor Changping rarely saw Qin Mingyue revealing such a child's form, but he thought it was funny, and originally wanted to make a few jokes, but thinking that he was his father-in-law, he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "Hey, this matter, the queen is the most anxious." That's it, I'm almost done talking about state affairs here, you two should hurry up and go to the harem queen. The queen is in a hurry. ”

Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui could only withdraw. However, Qin Mingyue was blushing, and Xiao Rui was smirking.

When I got to Queen Fang, Queen Fang's Qifeng Palace was different from Yongshou Palace. The place here is large, the palace is towering, the interior is elegantly and gorgeously arranged, and all kinds of precious items can be seen everywhere, even more extravagant than the Empress Yang of the year. However, no one in the palace said that Empress Fang was extravagant, because the furnishings in her palace were not from the palace's expenses, nor were they honored by the Internal Affairs Office, let alone obtained by her mother's family. In addition to some of the furnishings in the palace of Empress Fang, most of them were from the future daughter-in-law Qin Mingyue and the eldest son Qin Wang.

In the whole world, who doesn't know that King Qin himself has gold mountain mines and silver mountain mines in Miao Jiang? Who doesn't know that the national teachers of all generations are the richest people?

Therefore, Queen Fang is naturally luxurious, and she naturally enjoys glory and wealth, who makes her family have a good life and give birth to a good son?

Now, Queen Fang, who has a beautiful appearance and is not old at all, sees her future daughter-in-law Qin Mingyue and her eldest son Xiao Rui walking in side by side, like a pair of golden boys and girls, and Queen Fang's heart is full of joy when she sees it. On this beautiful face, there is a smile: "Mingyue, you have worked hard this trip." Hurry up and sit down here, it's hot outside, and ice is used in this palace, it's better. ”

Mingyue was about to salute the queen, but Queen Fang had already personally stepped down from the jade couch, helped Qin Mingyue up, took Qin Mingyue's hand, and asked Qin Mingyue to sit on the jade couch with her. On the first chair next to him, Xiao Rui was sitting.

Empress Fang looked at Qin Mingyue's face was still red, and asked, "But it's too hot outside?" ”

Qin Mingyue's face turned even redder when she heard this. Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Queen Mother, it's not very hot this way. Mingyue is because she was just at my father's place, and my father urged us to get married. ”

Queen Fang was even happier when she heard this, and she was overjoyed: "The emperor is right, the two of you are not small." Mingyue is seventeen this year, right? These are already big girls. If it was an ordinary lady of the noble family, she would have been married a long time ago. However, Mingyue is a national teacher and has a different identity, but it can't be too late. Will you be able to get married this year? ”

Qin Mingyue was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, but Xiao Rui was afraid that Mingyue would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, although the child wants to get married early, but most of this year has passed. My marriage with Mingyue is a major event in the imperial court, and it is also a major event in the Daomen. In a hurry, it definitely won't work. It's going to take a long time to prepare. ”

"Besides, in the second half of this year, we still have something to do, we have to go to Lu Province, and when we come back, we will have to go to winter. The Chinese New Year is approaching, there are more things, where can I have time? It will not be until February or March next year at the earliest. ”

Empress Fang said, "Why do you have to go out just after returning to the capital?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "It's not that you have to go out immediately, there are still many things to do in the capital." Mingyue still has national affairs, and the affairs of Daomen have to be dealt with. The child also has a military department, and the affairs of the army have to be dealt with, the army has to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the casualties have to be compensated, but there are many things. I can't leave Beijing until September and October. ”

Queen Fang said: "In autumn, that's okay, it's cool then, and it's okay to walk on the big river by boat." ”

"It's just that you two don't be too busy and tired. You are noble, and you have so many ministers under you, let them do more. ”

"Forget it, I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court. I just want you to get married sooner. It will be good in February and March next year. Mingyue, you asked someone to give a good day for divination, and told the palace and the Ministry of Rites to let them prepare as soon as possible. Rui'er's palace should also be painted well, and the grass and trees should be cleaned well. There are still a lot of etiquette matters to be prepared. By February and March, it will be ready. ”

"Well, this spring day is the time to tie the knot. That's good, but it can't be delayed any longer. Hongu still wants to hold his grandson as soon as possible. ”

This made Qin Mingyue even more unable to sit still, and said, "I haven't seen the fourth prince for a long time, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The fourth prince is still young, so he lives in the side hall of Qifeng Palace with his mother.

Seeing Qin Mingyue fleeing in embarrassment, Empress Fang smiled and said to Xiao Rui: "This palace is the first time I have seen such a child as a national teacher, it can be seen that this woman, no matter how noble her status is, is very shy when it comes to talking about marriage." ”

Xiao Rui was even more smiling.

Qin Mingyue went to the side hall and played with the four princes for a while, the four princes were very smart, they could already speak whole sentences, and they had already begun to recite ancient poems. It made Qin Mingyue very happy.

Qin Mingyue led the four princes to the main hall of Qifeng Palace, Empress Fang and Xiao Rui's mother and son were talking, Empress Fang asked Xiao Rui if it was hard to go on the expedition, if he was injured, etc.

At this time, a palace maid suddenly came in and said: "Queen Qiyu, Lan Guiren is walking in the imperial garden, and Concubine Wanrong and a few concubines are also scattered there, as a result, the puppy raised by Concubine Wanrong collided with Lan Guiren, and Lan Guiren was angry, and they all saw red. ”

Empress Fang was startled, stood up, and asked, "How can this be?" Concubine Wanrong was too careless. Have you invited a doctor? ”

The palace maid hurriedly said, "The imperial doctor has passed. ”

Empress Fang said to Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui: "There is something in the harem, and this palace has to go and take a look." You two should go out of the palace first. By the way, Mingyue, this palace has prepared some small gifts for you, you can take them back. ”

Qin Mingyue thanked her and went out of the palace with Xiao Rui.

Out of the palace, Xiao Rui came to Qin Mingyue's carriage, and his face was not good-looking: "Mingyue, it seems that the harem is very unpeaceful?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Well, Concubine Wanrong has always been domineering. This Lan nobleman seems to be the daughter of the Imperial Staylan family, or the queen mother was elected to the palace. ”

"During this period of time, we didn't even have one of us in the capital, and I didn't know a lot of news. You go back and collect the news, and I'll also go back and look at the news of the Star Picking Tower, and then I will sum it up. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, looking at the palace with gloomy eyes. This is the palace, there is no Queen Yang, and Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Li Xian has been defeated, and there is also Concubine Wanrong, and now Concubine Wanrong has not been subdued, and a noble Lan has popped up. Where is the time of peace in the palace?
