The Ninth Princess nodded repeatedly, "Of course, she regarded me as a princess at first, but later I found her very interesting, and the more I talked, the happier I became." ”

"It's really late to see each other, so we married Jin Lan and became sisters. Although Mrs. Drey is not a noble daughter of a family, Xiao Jiu feels that her noble daughters are better. ”

Empress Zhao smiled, "Mrs. Derui is indeed frank, and it is good to be able to become friends and sisters with Xiao Jiu." ”

"Xiao Jiu is really, they have all become sworn sisters, why don't you say it? In addition to the relationship between the royal family and the courtiers, we have one more relative in personal relations. ”

"Later, the palace and His Majesty will send someone to send a gift as a correspondence between relatives."

When Concubine Li heard this, she felt that Empress Zhao had thought it through.

"What the queen said is that Mrs. Derui has become Xiao Jiu's sister-in-law, and she can be regarded as my daughter-in-law, not only to give Mrs. Derui gifts, but also to her adopted son and daughter."

The ninth princess hurriedly reminded again, "Mother, don't forget, Sister Pan'er still has an unborn child in her belly." ”

Concubine Li nodded, "Well, yes, there are unborn children." For Pan'er's husband, General Li, he can't be missing. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping laughed, in a happy mood, and looked at the Nine Emperor Sisters with eyes full of approval.

Gu Shao is about to become his sister-in-law, and his ability is already strong, and he will be able to entrust Gu Shao with important responsibilities in the future.

Li Yuanqing is the general he trusts, and now there is more about the ninth princess and Mrs. Derui marrying Jin Lan, and the relationship is a little closer.

Li Yuanqing's ability is really strong, and he can train 10,000 sailors in just half a year, and all of them are good at water.

This arrest of the Japanese on a remote island proves the combat capability of those newly formed naval forces.

Not only that, the Jinling deep-sea port is improving its shipbuilding technology, and presumably in another year and a half, the more powerful sea ships will be launched.

This time, Xiao Jiu did a good job.

"Xiao Jiu, it's been a hard journey. Concubine Li, you care about Xiao Jiu, I know, but it's not appropriate to stay out of the palace for a year. ”

"Xiao Jiu is eighteen years old this year, and she will become an old girl if she doesn't get married. Now that the Gu family has invited a matchmaker, you and the queen have to worry about this marriage. ”

"I have long been optimistic about the Princess's Mansion, which is very close to the palace. In the future, Xiao Jiu will live in it, and she will have to see if she likes it? ”

The ninth princess's eyes lit up, and the imperial brother still loved her, so she nodded again and again, "Yes, I want to see the house prepared for me by the Ministry of Rites, and I have to go out of the palace often." ”

When Concubine Li heard this, she thought for a while, "Your Majesty, you are too spoiled to Xiao Jiu, lawless, and you will get into trouble in the future." ”

"Even if it's not for a year, it's going to be for three months. Just when the Gu family proposed, she stayed in the palace honestly, and when everything was settled, it was too late for her to go out to see the house. ”

When Emperor Zhou Ping heard this, he couldn't continue to disobey Concubine Li's wishes.

"What the mother concubine said is, Xiao Jiu, you have been out for so long, accompany the mother concubine more, and don't run around."

Seeing this, the ninth princess did not dare to refute again, in case her mother would beat her again.

After eating together, Emperor Zhou Ping and Empress Zhao left together.

Walking to the queen's bedroom, Emperor Zhou Ping prepared to take a nap for a while, and then went to the imperial study to deal with official business.

"Xiao Jiu's marriage has to be worried about by the queen."

Empress Zhao chuckled, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Xiao Jiu's marriage, the concubine knows it." not only has the affection of Concubine Li, but also Xiao Jiu's loyalty to His Majesty. ”

"Now Lord Gu and General Li are Your Majesty's right-hand men, and in the future, they will do more things for Your Majesty and expand their territory."

Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, quite cheerfully.

"Xiao Jiu'er, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, and it has been several in one fell swoop, this marriage is very good!"

Just when the queen and the emperor were discussing the marriage of the ninth princess, Mama Liu, who was sent by Liu Paner, returned to the Qi family again.

Mama Liu took Liu Paner's letter and solemnly presented it to Mrs. Qi San.

Last year, Master Qi San's term of office in Jinling expired, and he brought back a lot of important data and documents, completed the task, and then stayed in the capital to serve.

This time, those officials in Jinling City quickly confessed to the law, and there was also the credit of the third master of Qi.

Although the third master of Qi has not been rewarded on the surface, His Majesty has already met with the third master of Qi in private.

Mrs. Qi San took the letter and said with a smile: "There is Mama Lao to go on a trip and see the reward." ”

The maid beside her took a purse, which contained three taels of silver, and rewarded Mama Liu.

"Thank you, Third Lady, for the reward." Mama Liu took the purse and stepped aside.

When Mrs. Qi San read the letter, she was greatly surprised, and immediately smiled, this is a good thing!

Everyone in the capital knew that the Ninth Princess went out to play in the mountains and rivers, and finally went to Jinling, rushing to Lord Gu.

However, Lord Gu has no intention of the Ninth Princess, and this time it will inevitably be in vain.

Unexpectedly, this time the ninth princess actually got her wish.

The Gu family entrusted Liu Paner to be a matchmaker and propose marriage to the royal family.

However, because Mrs. Drey was pregnant and could not come to the capital, she asked her to help run errands.

That's a royal proposal!

The two families have already tacitly agreed, and the next thing, although cumbersome, is also similar to the number of family rites.

Mrs. Qi thought for a moment, although she felt that she could come down alone, but she thought that the eldest sister-in-law in the family was in charge.

It seems a bit inappropriate to bypass the eldest sister-in-law to do these things.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Qi carefully packed it, and then looked at Mama Liu.

"Mama Liu, does Sister Pan'er have anything to explain?"

Mama Liu nodded, "Mrs. Drey, after Mrs. Drey's reading, if you feel too busy after Mrs. Drey's reading the letter, you can ask Mrs. Eldest to help." ”

Hearing this, Third Lady Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Pan'er thinks about it thoroughly, although I grew up in the capital, but the number of times I enter the palace, I can't count it with one slap, or my sister-in-law has experience, I have to ask my sister-in-law to help."

Mama Liu was respectful, "If the third lady has anything to say, you can write a letter, and after the old slave rests for a few days, she will return to Jinling to resume her life." ”

Mrs. Qi San smiled, "Okay, Mama will go to rest first, and I will write a letter later, and after preparing things, bring them back to me." ”

"Yes, Third Lady." Mama Liu should go down and then withdraw.

Mrs. Qi San was in a happy mood, read Liu Paner's letter again, and personally counted the thank you gifts from the Gu family, as well as the gifts that Liu Paner brought over.

She is now extremely glad that she met Liu Paner last year, not only found her niece, but also had such a good relationship with Liu Paner.

With such a close friend, you will be of infinite use for a lifetime.

Liu Paner was really understanding, and even thought of her difficulties.

The in-laws of the Qi family are here, and they haven't separated yet, and they live together, so they have to respect the eldest sister-in-law, and in the future, the eldest family will be the lord, and they will also be the heirs.

Therefore, no matter what, Mrs. Qi San can't get around Mrs. Qi.

Holding Liu Paner's letter, Mrs. Qi San directly found Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi, who was looking at the account book and managing the family affairs, was slightly stunned when she heard the servant's report.
