New Year's Day, the fifteenth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival family banquet.

The fourth prince seemed to have enlightened, and when he toasted Pei Yao and Fang Yu, he took the initiative to propose that he should also discuss marriage.

As a father, she is naturally happy, but she is as careful as Fang Yu, and she still finds that there is a bit of loneliness hidden under her son's smile.

At the end of the dinner, Pei Yao drank too much wine and was sent back to Yuzhang Palace by Hong Zheng to rest, so Fang Yu accompanied her to consume food, leaving the four princes to walk with her in the palace for a while.

"You're good at hiding." Fang Yu said.

The fourth prince pretended to be stupid, "What did the mother say, what can the son hide in front of you." ”

When he said this, he only attracted a roll of Fang Yu's eyes.

"Bengong used to be anxious to do a marriage for you, but I didn't take a closer look, but today you suddenly went abnormal, but finally let Bengong find out the clues, say, is there a favorite person?"

"Nope." The fourth prince haha, "If my son has a girl he likes, he will definitely bring it back to the palace for you immediately!" ”

"I still don't want to tell the truth, this palace looks, it's the girl who is willing."

Fang Yu stopped and said a word.

At this point, the disguise on the face of the fourth prince slowly receded, and he smiled a little sadly and weakly, and lowered his eyes.

"The mother concubine has already guessed, so there is no need to ask who it is, the son has promised that he will not persecute her, the son knows that as the prince, the willfulness has been enough in the past few years, and this year, the son will marry a wife and have children."

has become a prince and an emperor, and his life is no longer all his own, everyone in the world looks at it, marriage, and heirs are all indispensable.

Fang Yu looked at his son's loneliness, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, sighed, raised his hand and patted the fourth prince's shoulder.

"Ji'er, when the mother concubine thought about or had your troubles today."

"Don't blame yourself, the son doesn't regret being the prince." The fourth prince looked up at him, the emotions in his eyes dissipated, revealing tenacity, "Children are trapped by their love for a long time, it's just for a while, even if it's a god, everything can't go as they wish, no one can get it, but people have to look forward, Erchen has already figured it out, the past, just pass." ”

Seeing him like this, Fang Yu's heart was lowered, the corners of his lips were hooked, and he nodded.

"Good boy, if only you could figure it out yourself."

Other words are useless and useless.

In April, a small election was held in Kyoto to choose a wife and concubine for the crown prince.

The final elected crown princess was actually the daughter of the Lu family.

Counting, this is the queen's niece, and her father is Lu Qi'an, the famous Tanhualang in Kyoto in the third room of the Lu family.

Thinking of the 'deal' that the queen and herself didn't make back then, Fang Yu was a little stunned for a while, I really don't know if it was fate or something else.

But this Lu family girl is indeed outstanding, not to mention her appearance, the others are also excellent, dignified and dignified, steady, decent, and even more outstanding, and her personality is more out of step than the queen of the year, so she is steady but not dull, and her mind is even more agile.

It was set by the four princes themselves.

In addition, there is a side concubine and two Liangdi, who naturally have good family backgrounds.

Two Liangdi, a month after the election, they entered the East Palace, the side concubine was half a month late, and the day when the princess entered the palace was a big wedding, so it was naturally a grand preparation, so it was in October, and the big wedding was made.

It took half a year to prepare, and of course, there was also the effort to prepare since the fourth prince turned fifteen, otherwise, this half a year would not be enough.

In short, the four princes still came according to the rules.

Although the Ye family can't go back to Beijing for a banquet, it is indispensable to give gifts, and Ye Jintang also gave it, which is a pair of jade Ruyi, called Hehe Ruyi.

It was also this time that the four princes learned that Ye Jintang was also engaged, and he was a high-ranking family in the north, surnamed Qi.

When Shangyang Kingdom was still there, this Qi family was comparable to the royal family, it can be said that sixty percent of the scholars in Shangyang Kingdom were protégés of the Qi family, and later Shangyang Kingdom was annexed by Daqi, and the Qi family naturally returned to obedience.

It stands to reason that Qi and Qi have the same sound, and they should change their surnames to show avoidance, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also discussed this matter, but Pei Yao specially issued an order to allow the Qi family to keep their surnames, and bluntly said that with the help of the Qi family, Daqi will become more and more prosperous.

These words also deeply moved the Qi family, and now in the north, they are also very loyal and hardworking.

Ye Jintang married into the Qi family, so he was naturally a good match.

It's good, each other is settled, the four princes thought silently.

But he felt that it was wrong, he hoped that Ye Jintang would be different from him, and what he got was what he really wanted.

But if you think about it carefully, such a girl will definitely not give in, and naturally everything now is what she wants.

Gathering his thoughts, the four princes stepped into the cave room, took the gold scale handed by the bride, and unveiled the red hijab of the crown princess.

Under the candlelight, the girl's face was dyed with clouds, and her beautiful eyes were shy and expectant.

"Your Highness." The crown princess whispered.

The fourth prince took her hand, "In the future, Lone and you will be husband and wife, since Qin Se and Ming, raise your eyebrows, you remember, Lone's name is Pei Yanji." ”

The crown princess nodded slightly, full of longing for the future.

Later, no one in the capital did not praise the prince and the princess are a pair of fairy couples, His Royal Highness the prince loves the princess very much, and the princess is also virtuous and kind, and the back house is well organized.

Later, when the fourth prince was thirty years old, Pei Yao took the initiative to abdicate, the fourth prince ascended the throne, and the crown princess became the queen.

The number of women in the harem gradually increased, but the queen's status has never wavered.

In fact, the queen herself is also very strange, over the years, she can feel that although the emperor treats her well, the relationship between the two is not as affectionate as the outside world rumores.

More often, the queen felt that the emperor treated her with respect.

But it's not just her, every concubine in the emperor's harem is indifferent.

When Pei Yao was in power, a favorite concubine like Fang Yu had never appeared in the harem of the four princes today, so it can be said that the queen was the most favored.

It's just that this relative favor is really nothing.

But it is precisely because the fourth prince is like this to the women of the entire harem that he has no preference, and his harem is very stable, and he has never encountered all kinds of pickled things like Pei Yao did back then.

Of course, this is also because Fang Yu, the Queen Mother, is there, and she watches one or two for him.

But in general, the harem of the four princes is indeed much calmer.

None of them are what he wants in his heart, so naturally there are not too many preferences.

It's rare, just because everything comes according to the rules, the four princes set up their son-in-law as the crown prince.

The queen was naturally happy.

She only felt that she was much luckier than her aunt back then.

It's just that she will never know that her luck comes from the heart of the fourth prince, and she can't get another girl.

It's about a faint obsession, the four princes always think that if they can't be a couple for a lifetime, they should love and maintain their wives more.

This may be unfair to the queen, but indeed, the four princes have fulfilled their responsibilities.

Besides, how can there be so much fairness in this world?

Later, the four princes also saw Ye Jintang again, but at that time, Ye Jintang and the son of the Qi family had also given birth to children and lived happily.

It's good, at least she's really happy.

The fourth prince thought, wait for the next life, this life will be fateful.

But in addition to not staying with his beloved woman all his life, the four princes have lived happily in this life.

has parents who love him, a virtuous wife, a peaceful harem, a smooth government, and a group of brothers and sisters who have been in harmony with him all their lives.

In this life, people can't always do everything as they wish, and they are lucky to be able to account for most of them.
