Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Golden Branch Is Not Easy

When He Changan and Liu Yanling saw the eldest princess, the eldest princess still looked smiling, as if she didn't care about anything, and took Liu Yanling's hand and said: " Sister Yanling, but I haven't seen Sister Yanling for a long time, Sister Yanling rewarded and served in front of Aunt Zhaoning's sickbed, and I couldn't participate in the draft when I was tired and sick, but I had heard about it a long time ago, at the chrysanthemum banquet, without Sister Yanling on the side, I could only look at Mei Yunying's stinky face, but now I feel happy when I look at her look like she can finally be a man with her tail between her legs. ”

He Changan looked in the direction of the eldest princess Lu Keyi's finger, and sure enough, he saw Mei Xi's gray face, the last time at the chrysanthemum banquet, Lu Keyi slapped Mei Xi in front of so many people, and it also caused Mei Xi to lose her identity as the county lord of Miyang, so that in this draft, although Mei Xi was old enough to participate in the draft, she was still asked by the saint to continue to participate in the next draft on the grounds that she was too young and would definitely be more outstanding in the next draft.

Mei Tongzhang, the eldest princess of Zhaoli, was originally a member of the Mei clan of the Pingyi Emperor's concubine, the Mei clan was not a big family, if it weren't for a Pingyi imperial concubine, the Mei clan would be nothing, and Mei Tongzhang himself was not an official material, and because Mei's identity was impossible to do business, so the Zhaoning eldest princess's mansion was not particularly good, in addition to relying on the poor rice of the eldest princess Zhaoli and Laiyang Bo, the rest was the reward of the queen mother and the saint when they were in a good mood, but the dignified princess's mansion and the uncle's mansion, just to support the scene, there are many people, and what is that bit of rice and reward, so He Chang'an also heard of it when he was in the palace in the last life, Princess Zhaoli is the youngest daughter of Concubine Xianjia, and there were originally a lot of dowries that Concubine Xianjia had worked hard to save, but over the years, Princess Zhaoli has also given a lot to the Mei family.

Liu Yanling also glanced at Mei Xi: "Why are you so troubled? It's not that you don't know that the way she looks now is also problematic with the education methods of her fifth aunt and her father, naturally, it is inseparable from you." ”

The eldest princess looked at Liu Yanling and rolled her eyes: "I can't figure it out, my father has basically wanted to ask the Mei family over the years, why is the Mei family suffering?"

Liu Yanling also gave the eldest princess a white eye, He Changan could see that Liu Yanling and the eldest princess were still very close to each other, otherwise Liu Yanling would not dare to roll her eyes at the eldest princess: "Since you don't like her, why bother inviting her, this poetry will be specially organized by the saint for your twelfth birthday, if you are not happy, the saint's hard work will be in vain." ”

He Changan didn't expect that Lu Keyi would answer with a pout: "Birthday is still secondary, the important thing is to choose a husband for me, my second sister, my third sister, and even the dead girl......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the other side of the Zhurun County Lord coming with a girl who looked a little smaller than He Chang'an, and shouted as soon as they met: "Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Lu Keyi waved his hand and smiled helplessly at Liu Yanling and He Changan: "Come on, Lu Mianmian, the little ancestor, is here, I'm afraid that some of them are pestering the palace, you accompany Chang'an first, and I'll sit down and talk to you later." ”

After speaking, he walked towards Lu Mianmian in a hurry, and muttered something as he walked, what was the palace that let you last time, but this time the palace will definitely not let you, He Changan and Liu Yanling looked at each other and smiled.

When Liu Yanling left, He Changan dared to ask: "I was surprised at the last chrysanthemum banquet, the eldest princess seemed to be targeting Mei Xi, at first I really felt that Mei Xi was too arrogant to speak, and the eldest princess is also arrogant, so she naturally can't get used to it, so she will slap that in public, but looking at the eldest princess like this today, I don't know what kind of deep enmity the two of them have?"

When He Changan was in the palace before, he only heard that the eldest princess was arrogant and domineering, and no one dared to provoke her, so the eldest princess was smooth sailing, and it seemed that she had no enmity with anyone, thinking of what Shi Qi said, she really wanted to hear the story of the eldest princess.

Liu Yanling pulled He Changan aside: "Actually, this matter is also strange, it was ...... at that time."

So He Changan knew that in the early years, the status of the Mei family in the eyes of the saint was not too bad, after all, the imperial concubine Pingyi was the biological mother of the saint, so when the eldest princess of Zhaoli got married, it was the prince's saint who specially came forward to recommend Mei Tongzhang, it stands to reason that there is only one imperial concubine in a family like Mei Tongzhang who is a little famous, and he has no ability, and he has no merit if he can't become a martial artist, and he doesn't even have the qualifications of the lord, but he still married the youngest daughter of the first emperor, in fact, it was because the saint missed his biological mother。

But Mei Tongzhang is really muddy and can't support the wall, and the eldest princess Zhaoli is unwilling, she is also a princess, she can't compare to the eldest princess of Zhaoxing, but why can't the eldest princess of Zhaohe and the eldest princess of Zhaoning born to her mother be compared? Naturally, I was aggrieved in my heart, and seeing that Mei Xi was getting bigger and bigger, and getting more and more beautiful, I moved other thoughts, the Mei family can produce a concubine of Emperor Pingyi who has been favored by the Holy Grace for a lifetime and has left the emperor, why can't there be another queen?

When listening to Liu Yanling talk about this, He Changan heard a little eyebrows, and the eldest princess of Zhaoli had already put her mind on Lu Cheng, isn't it, at that time, it was not the crown prince Lu Cheng at that time who could make Mei Xi the queen in the future?

However, after thinking about it with Chang'an, looking at the posture at the chrysanthemum banquet, Mei Xi was trying her best to curry favor with He Ping'an, and He Ping'an's eyes had already been aimed at Lu Yuan, so it should be that after the abolition of the position of the prince of Lucheng, the eldest princess Zhaoli felt that she had made a mistake, so she began to let Mei Xi turn to He Ping'an, right?

There was still a little pride in her heart, if it weren't for Lu Cheng's cleverness and knowing that the height was unbearable, and she retreated, would she and Lu Cheng still ......

Liu Yanling poked He Chang'an: "What do you think? Did you hear what I said?"

Seeing He Changan blink blankly, Liu Yanling knew that this girl was running away again, shook her head and said: "My mother told me to watch you closely, I didn't think anything would happen to you, but now it seems, but you can't do it if you like to run away." ”

He Changan had no choice but to let his heart think about Lu Cheng again.

It turned out that when Lu Cheng was young, Mei Xi had been flaunting herself as the future crown princess, and everyone believed it, as if there was really such a thing, and slowly in the end, all the elders also felt that Mei Xi was born in the Mei family of the Pingyi Emperor after all, and the saint missed the Mei family, Mei Xi, a young girl, could make her the county lord, so it would not be an increase in the bargaining chips on Mei Xi's body, and she would do something to marry Mei Xi to the prince. And the eldest princess, she was born without a mother, and the saint was busy with military affairs all day long and had no time to doppelgänger, so when the eldest princess was young, she took care of her the most, except for the nurse and maid around her, it was Lu Cheng, and naturally there was a brother-in-law complex, but Mei Xi herself felt that she would be the princess in the future, and she regarded herself as a sister-in-law in front of the eldest princessThe situation.

In addition, after Lu Cheng was deposed as the crown prince, Mei Xi, who originally regarded herself as the crown princess, suddenly changed the direction of the wind and made enough efforts to curry favor with the eldest princess of Zhaoxing and He Ping'an, Lu Keyi felt even more worthless for Lu Cheng, so that chrysanthemum banquet was just a fuse.

He Changan suddenly realized a truth in the words of the eldest princess, no matter how arrogant the eldest princess is, in fact, she just wants to wait for someone who can be good to her sincerely, this person is not interested in her status as a princess, but really can be good to her wholeheartedly, just like her brother who could spare a lot of time to take care of her in her childhood, if Mei Xi really cared about the eldest princess from some small places, she might not be so disgusted with her, but Mei Xi valued the title of the crown princess too much earlier, and she didn't have a little sincerity towards her, which made her feel that Mei Xi was just coveting that position, so she quarreled with Mei Xi for three days, and Mei Xi later became a wall grass that fell down as soon as it was blown, which made her idea even more solid.

In this way, you need to discern a person's sincerity little by little, and if you can't touch your sincerity, you will be like a hedgehog to shrink yourself tightly into a ball, leaving all the edges to others.

It's just that if she is really willing to pay to be good to the eldest princess, will the eldest princess slowly accept her?

While thinking about this, Liu Yanling asked again: "Do you know Chang'an, in fact, this time the poetry meeting, the hidden residence when the saint was the prince is actually divided into two parts, Changxin Garden is one, and the other courtyard next to it is called Changqing Garden, but there are many houses in Changxin Garden, Changqing Garden has a huge lake, and the surrounding scenery is good, and it can't be lived. ”

"Choose a husband for the four princesses, although I have heard about this for a long time, but the eldest princess and the second princess are a little older, and the third princess and the fourth princess are still early, right?"

The biological mother of the third princess is just a nobleman, she has lost her favor these years, and she has lived a very low-key life in the palace over the years, but the fourth princess, who is currently the youngest princess in the province, or born to Concubine Qing, so she has always been the most favored in addition to the eldest princess, one of these two princesses has just turned ten years old this year, and the other is actually only nine years old.

Liu Yanling sighed: "I heard my mother say that the saint wants to settle the marriages of the four princesses as early as possible, and collect the temperament of the concubine, if the concubine is not good, as long as the princess is not married, it will be too late." ”

At the same time, He Jiaqing, who was separated by a wall and was now in Changqing Garden, also heard the meaning of the Holy Lord from the Fourth Prince, and muttered in his heart: "Isn't this going to start the trial marriage now?"
