Chapter 65: Selection

"What big thing does Big Brother want to do?"

Zhu Houyu directly asked what he was thinking, in front of Zhengde, Zhu Houyu has never hidden his curiosity, and if he wants to know anything, he will openly seek answers.

Zhengde's smile made Zhu Houxi a little uncomfortable.

"I plan to give the royal brother a marriage, and now all the lists of school-age women are in the leopard room, just waiting for the imperial brother to go and choose."

Zhengde's words made Zhu Houxi subconsciously think of a person, that is, the Empress of Xiaojiesu Chen, a woman who lost her life by jealousy, because of her arrival, the Chen family will always have its own new belonging, avoiding the fate that is destined in history.

"Everything is up to the eldest brother."

Zhu Houxi, as a royal person, is so favored by Zhengde, and he must not be able to make his own decisions about marriage, of course he knows this, what he said to Princess Jiang of Xingxian at the beginning was completely because he was afraid that Jiang would use the marriage to delay his plan to go to Manraka, and now that the matter of Manraka has been resolved, Zhu Houyi does not care about the marriage.

Seeing that Zhu Houyu did not refute the marriage, Zhengde Longxin Dayue praised Zhu Houxi for being sensible on the spot.

Zhengde's car drove all the way back to Beizhili, and Zhu Houxi didn't even have time to return to Xingwangfu, so he was taken directly to the leopard room by Zhengde.

In the leopard room, Zhu Houxi looked at the large number of portraits of women in front of him, and Zhengde was there to help him choose, and the excitement even exceeded Zhengde's own draft.

"Brother Huang, what do you think of this? The body is well-proportioned, white and beautiful. ”

Zhu Houxi took a look and found that it was not his ideal type, looking at the girl's appearance, the age was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, which was forcing him to commit a crime, and refused on the spot: "Big brother, marry a wife in the virtuous, and take a concubine in the sex." ”

Zhengde thought about it, Zhu Houxi said very reasonably, his imperial brother should indeed find a virtuous woman as a concubine, as for beauty, with his eldest brother, how can it be less in the future, and immediately continued to look for it in the portrait.

Zhu Houxi asked excitedly, "Brother Huang, what do you think of this?" ”

Zhu Houxi looked at the figure that was more than a hammer, and said with a sad face: "Big brother, what the younger brother wants to find is a virtuous woman, not an ugly woman. ”

Zhengde suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case. ”

Zhu Houxi secretly swore that if he knew who handed over such an ugly woman to Zhengde to choose, he would definitely make the other party pay.

"Brother Huang, what do you think of this?"

Zhengde held a portrait of a woman who was twenty-eight years old and had passed the age of the Emperor, and the woman in the painting looked good, and at first glance she was the kind of person who was diligent and thrifty.

Zhengde said: "This Chen family meets the requirements of the emperor's brother in all aspects, but the family is a little low, and his father Chen Wanyan is just a talent." ”

Zhu Houyu was stunned when Zhengde finished speaking, he never thought that after two years, the Chen family, who had passed the age of Xuan, would wait for him in the same place.

Zhengde saw that Zhu Houxi didn't speak, and he looked stunned in place, thinking that Zhu Houxi had taken a fancy to this Chen woman.

"Since the emperor's brother likes it, Princess Xing will decide this woman, Wei Bin, go and pass the decree."

Wei Bin's face was full of smiles, and he bent over to take the portrait in Zhengde's hand.

"Yes, don't worry, the slave will do it."

It wasn't until Wei Bin left the hall with the portrait that Zhu Houyu woke up from his stunned state, but Zhu Houyu felt that since everything was providential, then he wouldn't change anything, and there was nothing wrong with marrying a vinegar jar and going home, at least it proved that this woman was in her heart.

Zhengde said with a smile: "I am very happy to be able to help the imperial brother choose the princess, the imperial brother will stay in the leopard room today, and I will let someone inform the princess Xingxian." ”

Of course, Zhu Houxi disagreed with Zhengde's proposal, so he said with a smile: "The eldest brother doesn't know, the younger brother hasn't come back for more than a year, if he doesn't return to the house today, I'm afraid that Princess Yongchun will come to the eldest brother and make trouble in the leopard room to rob the younger brother to go back." ”

Only then did Zhengde remember that Zhu Xiuli, who was canonized as Princess Yongchun by him, had not seen his brother Zhu Houxi for more than a year.

"In this way, I won't stay with the emperor's brother today."

After chatting with Zhengde about the situation in Manraka and the harvest in Manraka, Zhu Houxi got up and left the leopard room to return to Xingwangfu.

All the way to the familiar gate, looking at the two majestic stone lions in front of the door, as well as the gold-lettered signboard of the Xingwang Mansion above the gate, Zhu Houxi felt more cordial in his heart.

Passing through the gate of Xingwang's Mansion, Zhu Houxi couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Mother, little sister." ”

With Zhu Houxi's call, the mother and daughter who were embroidering in the palace immediately put down their show work and ran to the front yard.

"Xi'er."

"Brother."

Two cordial shouts came, and Zhu Houxi heard that the owners of the voices were his mother and sister in this time and space.

Zhu Xiuli, who was already a big girl, resisted the urge to throw herself into Zhu Houxi's arms, stood beside Princess Jiang of Xingxian, and supported her mother Jiang Shi and looked at Zhu Houxi with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Houxi walked to Princess Jiang of Xingxian in three steps and knelt down on the ground and said, "Mother, the retainer is back." ”

For his own son Zhu Houxi, where was the Xingxian princess Jiang willing to be harsh, and immediately said: "Hurry up, hurry up, let the mother concubine take a good look at Xi'er." ”

Just as Zhu Houyu stood up, Jiang took a step forward and began to caress Zhu Houxi's face, seeing that his son was not tanned and thinner, but a lot stronger, and said with a smile: "Not bad, I have grown taller and stronger, seeing you like this, the mother concubine will feel at ease, and go and let someone prepare food for the prince." ”

After Jiang praised his son, he asked people to prepare a meal for Zhu Houxi, regardless of whether Zhu Houxi had eaten dinner or not.

Zhu Houxi had already accompanied Zhengde to dinner in the leopard room, but he didn't want to refuse Jiang's kindness, so he didn't say anything to stop it, after all, this was Jiang's concern for him, a love from his mother.

Princess Zhu Xiuli of Yongchun stood beside Jiang and shouted softly: "Brother, Xiuli misses you so much." ”

Zhu Houxi raised his hand and rubbed the top of Zhu Xiuli's head dotingly, and said, "Brother misses you too." ”

He may be strict with his daughter Jiang, but he has always been generous to his son Jiang, so even if Zhu Houxi's current behavior is a little unreasonable, Jiang will turn a blind eye and treat it as if he didn't see it.

Feeling Zhu Houxi's familiar palm and the temperature again, Zhu Xiuli finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and the tears in her eyes were cried.

Seeing Zhu Xiuli, who was fine a moment ago, she cried loudly in this second, Zhu Houxi suddenly felt distressed, and immediately opened his mouth to coax: "Little sister doesn't cry, it's all my brother's fault, my brother brought you a gift, don't cry." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houxi took out a bag of glass beads from his arms, which was a gift he specially prepared for Zhu Xiuli.
