Tianhuang nobleman

In the Palace of Yuxiu, Princess Dunsu sat in front of the mirror and carefully compared the two phoenix hairpins, and said indifferently: "The prince really said that?"

The palace servants behind Princess Dunsu nodded: "His Royal Highness also said that if the princess is impatient to pay attention to this matter, she can go to the palace of some old concubines after breakfast, just avoid it."

"Nonsense, if she really has the heart, she can't avoid it." Princess Dunsu laughed, "Where did Xiao'er get the news, that's all, go."

The palace man hesitated for a while and said: "Princess... Last night, His Royal Highness the Prince of Lingnan stayed in the Crown Prince's womb, and he hasn't come out yet."

Princess Dunsu caressed a gold hairpin inlaid with three phoenixes in her hand, and slowly said: "It's okay, it was Xiao'er who said in front of the emperor yesterday that he asked the son to go to his palace to recuperate, no one will be suspicious."

"But..." This palace attendant has been Princess Dunsu's confidant for many years, and she dares to persuade others to say something that others dare not mention. The palace attendant carefully looked at Princess Dunsu's face, and said in a low voice, "The prince is right The son is too concerned, princess... the second young lady will be 12 years old in the new year, so why don't the princess make some plans for the second young lady?"

Second Miss, the youngest daughter of Princess Dunsu, He Fanghua.

Princess Dunsu and her son-in-law have always had a very good relationship. Over the years, they have three sons and two daughters. The first two sons have already married, and the eldest daughter is also engaged. Not too old, but it is indeed the age to take care of her.

Princess Dunsu knew what the palace man meant, and it was not that she hadn't thought about it.

She watched Qi Xiao grow up. Although the two are aunts and nephews, they are close to each other. After so many years of friendship, Princess Dunsu believes that if Fanghua is really married to Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao will be able to marry her. Xiao will definitely not treat his daughter poorly, and it will be a good story to kiss and get closer at that time.

But I have my own selfishness. Before everything is settled, Princess Dunsu doesn't want to make things public.

How Qi Xiao got here over the years. Princess Dunsu knows better than anyone else. She really has to think about every step she takes. If she is not careful, she may fall into someone else's way. Even today, Princess Dunsu I dare not say that Qi Xiao will definitely succeed.

As Qi Xiao's direct aunt, Princess Dunsu was willing to take care of Qi Xiao, but she didn't want to stir up her little daughter into this muddy water.

To put it bluntly, in the future, if you fail, as the daughter of Emperor Wen, your life will be safe. At most, the son-in-law will be implicated and no longer be reused. But once you get married with Qi Xiao, the son-in-law The whole family will be implicated, and my daughter may lose her life.

Princess Dunsu is Qi Xiao's aunt, but she is also the mother of five children. She dare not take such a risk.

And... He Fanghua is still young, so he is not in a hurry. When things come to fruition in the future... maybe it will be the time when his youngest daughter will be at her best?

Princess Dunsu rubbed her forehead, that's all, what to do if you think about it, I will talk about it later, Princess Dunsu finally chose a gold hairpin with five phoenixes wrapped around east beads, slowly inserted it into the bun, and After straightening her temple hair, she stood up and said, "Don't talk nonsense, order someone to prepare some good snacks, and prepare to entertain the queen later."

As expected by Qi Xiao, after breakfast, the Queen came to Yuxiu Palace.

Princess Dunsu invited people to the main hall. After seeing the ceremony, Empress Feng said with a smile: "The ladies brought in a lot of things yesterday. I looked at the gift list this morning and saw a few things that the princess likes. Let someone clean it up, there is nothing wrong now, so I just bring it to you myself."

The maids behind the empress put the exquisite boxes in their hands on the small table next to Princess Dunsu, and Empress Feng smiled: "The crow blue box contains a pair of emerald noodles. I like some emerald jewelry. I saw the head and face, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite. The gold-painted and carved box contains swiftlet lamps, which are of excellent color. "

Princess Dunsu glanced at her and said with a smile: "The queen has a heart, and I will accept it."

Empress Feng smiled and said: "There is no need to talk about this between you and me. Speaking of it... the princess just came back, is this Yuxiu Palace still comfortable to live in? It has been empty for several years, and it should be tidied up."

"That's not necessary." Princess Dunsu looked at the decorations in the palace, smiled and said, "Because I haven't been back for a long time, I missed the emperor, queen and princes, so I stayed here for a few days. It's time for the palace to move back to the princess mansion."

"What's the rush?" Empress Feng took a sip of tea from the palace servants and said with a smile, "The princess has been away from Beijing for the past few years, and the emperor has always been thinking about it. When she finally comes back, she must stay longer. good."

Princess Dunsu smiled: "Why don't I miss the emperor, but I have no choice but to worry about the children at home..."

"That's true, children are the fate of mothers." Empress Feng sighed, and said with a wry smile, "What happened in the side hall of Qing Palace yesterday...Princess probably knows about it too?"

Princess Dunsu put down the teacup, took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth and said slowly: "I vaguely heard a few words from someone, but I don't know what happened... I heard that it was the second prince who said something to the Prince of Lingnan." If you don’t deal with it, there were some disputes in the side hall, which made the emperor angry?”

"Hua'er's words were inappropriate, and the emperor punished him..." Empress Feng looked at Princess Dunsu with a helpless expression, "This palace can only tell the princess... I know that he should be taught a lesson, But I still can't help but feel distressed, the emperor hates iron but not steel, but Hua'er won't inherit the throne in the future, why bother to criticize him for everything?"

Empress Feng thought that she could please Princess Dunsu by saying this, but she didn't want Princess Dunsu to just smile lightly: "There's nothing wrong with that, as a parent, you always love deeply and take responsibility, and you're the emperor. It's hard too."

Empress Feng nodded, and slowly said: "I watched Hua'er grow up, I know his character better than others, he is pure, kind and careless, just a little impetuous, I thought about it last night Thinking about it, I think it's better to find a side concubine for Hua'er, someone who is prudent and understands the general situation, and persuade him from time to time, it's better than those palace people, princess... what do you think?"

Princess Dunsu remained calm: "It's not easy for me to say this. It stands to reason that the princes are taught by the emperor and empress, and the Taifu teaches them to persuade them. It is enough, but if it is true... "

Princess Dunsu smiled: "Indeed, sometimes a daughter-in-law's words are much better than mother's."

"That's exactly what it means!" Empress Feng was more delighted to see Princess Dunsu following her words, "I know...or the princess knows what I mean best, and she is a mother. How can she not see through these things? So I just want to find a good girl, I don’t pick anything else, as long as she is virtuous, princess...do you know any girl who can relieve my worries?"

Princess Dunsu smiled gently: "The empress is joking. I have been in the south for the past few years, so I don't know much about the affairs in Beijing. If the empress doesn't know which family has a good girl, I don't even know."

Empress Feng smiled: "There are quite a few good girls, but... Xiao'er hasn't married yet, so Hua'er can't go past Xiao'er, and only accepts a side concubine. It's not beautiful for a girl's family to be too high. After much deliberation, I couldn't find a good candidate, so I came to trouble the princess...By the way, I heard that the princess had praised the girl who was praised by the emperor the day the princess just came back. I don't know whose family? Was she married? "

Princess Dunsu couldn't help laughing, Qi Xiao was the worm in Empress Feng's belly, he guessed it all.

"This...hehe, I can't help the queen anymore." Princess Dunsu smiled softly, "I mentioned the two princesses of the Lingnan royal family that day, but... Hua'er only sent the Lingnan prince yesterday. Hit it, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to say this now."

Not waiting for Empress Feng to refute Princess Dunsu, she said again: "Furthermore... I wanted to tell Xiao'er about this marriage before, but unfortunately yesterday... Xiao'er had already disclosed this marriage in front of the emperor in order to avoid suspicion. The marriage has been postponed, and it's not easy for us to get married as a relative in Lingnan."

"Queen, don't worry too much. This palace is not overbearing. If Xiao'er can't get married, Hua'er is not allowed to get married." Princess Dunsu repeated what Qi Xiao asked her palace staff to tell her in the morning, and said gently, "This palace is to take care of our royal family. What we know is that Hua'er was reckless for a while, and had some quarrels with the prince. I don't know, I thought it was because Hua'er was dissatisfied with Lingnan and wanted to marry Xiao'er. At this time, I will point out the girl from Lingnan to Hua Er, it is unavoidable to confirm those rumors that are not good for Huaer."

Princess Dunsu's words were clear with reason and emotion, leaving Empress Feng speechless, she smiled dryly and lowered her eyes and said, "It's because I haven't thought well enough."

Princess Dunsu smiled lightly: "The empress loves her son dearly, and some unexpected things are also reasonable. My love for Hua'er is no different from that of the empress. People say that the authorities are fans. What I just said just now is probably wrong. Why don't the empress go discuss with the emperor?"

Empress Feng hurriedly laughed and said: "That's not necessary, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, how can I bother him with these trivial matters."

Princess Dunsu chuckled in her heart, Empress Feng went to the doctor in a hurry, she dared to go over the emperor to discuss Qi Hua's marriage with her, and even tried to use herself as a pawn to make the emperor pay more attention to Qi Hua, ha ha... think what?

Princess Dunsu smiled faintly, put down the teacup and said slowly: "Speaking of it... I remember that the Queen has a very nice niece, who is also at the age of marriage, why don't you kiss her more?"

Empress Feng's heart trembled, it was only now that she realized that what she said just now had offended Princess Dunsu.

Empress Feng's niece is the concubine girl that Empress Feng wanted to take advantage of Princess Dunsu's side to Qi Xiaona. The one with good results, Empress Feng knew that her sister didn't care about these things, so she thought of pulling one over at random as an eyeliner for her, but is Qi Xiao stupid?

Empress Feng forced a smile: "Princess is talking about Xiangya, that child was born thin, and my elder sister dotes on her very much, I'm afraid she is reluctant to let her be a child."

Princess Dunsu smiled faintly: "That's it... that's all, I will keep an eye on her, and if there is something suitable, I will naturally speak for the queen, and I will definitely point her to the right one."

Empress Feng regretted it unceasingly. Once she said this, Xiangya could no longer enter the Prince's Mansion.

What Qi Xiao asked her to say about Princess Dunsu has already told Empress Feng without missing a word. She felt relieved and said with a smile: "If the queen is really anxious, why don't you worry about Xiao'er as well, as long as Xiao'er marries the Crown Princess , the empress doesn't have to bother to give Qi Hua a side concubine, even the main concubine can marry her."

Qi Xiao will be nineteen after the new year, but the emperor is not even willing to give Qi Xiao a side concubine. He is afraid that Qi Xiao will have the help of the Yue family to give birth to a son, and his status as crown prince will no longer be shaken. Regarding the marriages of the next few sons, Princess Dunsu sneered in her heart, she was tied up in a cocoon, what did she have to do with others?

Empress Feng made Princess Dunsu's cheeks burn when she said that, she smiled and said: "Princess, you are joking, I only care more about Xiao'er's marriage."

Princess Dunsu smiled lightly: "That's good."

Empress Feng just sat down for a while and left after making such a big fuss. Princess Dunsu ordered someone to send a message to Qi Xiao, telling him that he had already sent him away. It was up to Qi Xiao what to do next.
