At noon, the Empress Dowager gave a banquet in the palace. After the banquet, the group took their leave and left the palace.
After Luo Junyao and Su Rui said goodbye at the palace gate, they followed Su on the carriage and went back to the house.
In the palace, the Queen Mother still had not rested.
In the gorgeously furnished but elegant bedroom, the Empress Dowager sat on the bed with soft pillows behind her back.
Xie Yan, Queen Mother Zhu and Princess Changling were all sitting in front of her.
Princess Changling sat on the edge of the bed and advised softly, "Mother, you have been tired all morning, please rest first. We will talk about anything you have to say after you wake up."
Even though the Empress Dowager didn't do much all morning, it was already quite tiring for her now.
Doctor Xue said that there is basically no cure for the Empress Dowager's condition, so we can only drag it out. Moreover, the Empress Dowager will become more tired as time goes by, and it is normal to sleep ten hours a day.
The Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm fine. You all happen to be here, so let's just talk."
Xie Yan frowned and said, "Whenever Auntie wants to talk, just ask us to come over."
The Empress Dowager said: "I want to say something right now, so just listen carefully."
Xie Yan was speechless and could only listen.
The Empress Dowager looked at the three people in front of her and said: "The girls here are all good girls. No matter which one becomes the Princess of Chu, she will definitely do it right."
Empress Dowager Zhu was silent. She knew that Zhu Jin was not among the girls the Empress Dowager was talking about.
Unless Xie Yan proposed to marry Zhu Jin herself, the Empress Dowager would never consider her.
Princess Changling smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is right, I know Zhifei, you have a lot of face now. If you can't choose a suitable princess, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
The Queen Mother patted her daughter and asked, "Have you ever said that about your brother?"
Princess Changling covered her face and said, "I know that my mother is partial! Zhifei, what do you say?"
Xie Yan didn't want to talk, he just felt a headache.
He almost wanted to say, how about you just figure it out yourself?
But when he thought that as soon as he said these words, there would be an inexplicable woman in the house, he felt more uncomfortable than fighting on the battlefield.
Xie Yan started to think with an expressionless face: There seems to be rumors about Shang Yong that he is a good man...
"Zhifei? What are you thinking about?" Princess Changling asked.
Xie Yan said: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about something."
Princess Changling was furious, "What you should be thinking about most now is your marriage!"
What's so important about marriage? He won't have children if he doesn't get married, and Xie won't stop there.
But looking at the worried look on the Empress Dowager's face, Xie Yan could only say: "It's hard to make a decision at the moment. I will think about it carefully when I get back."
The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Marriage is a matter of lifelong concern, so you really need to be more careful. That's all, you can think about it carefully when you go back."
The Empress Dowager took a breath and took a break before continuing: "Zhifei, it's not my aunt who is forcing you. I'm really worried about you being like this."
If Xie Yan really just found it troublesome, loved freedom, and was too lazy to get married and have children, she might not be so worried. Among the descendants of the royal family, there are some who are uninhibited, love freedom, and are mavericks who don't want to get married.
After all, Xie Yan is the Prince of Dasheng. Even if he has no children or grandchildren, there will be many people vying to be filial to him in the future.
But the Queen Mother knew that this was not the case. Xie Yan had actually wanted to have a warm home since he was a child.
When he was still young, Xie Yan always had a sense of yearning in his eyes when he saw other people's families being harmonious and close.
It's just that as he got older, Xie Yan's emotions became more reserved, and others couldn't see it. However, Xie Yan was still more gentle and tolerant towards those ministers and subordinates who had harmonious families and loved their wives.
The Empress Dowager really couldn't bear that her nephew, who had been raised by herself, should live alone like this for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager felt a little more favorable towards Luo Junyao.
Such a cheerful and well-behaved little girl, with big eyes that make you feel infinitely energetic just by looking at her, is much better than others.
After all, if he married a girl who was as dignified and reserved as Xie Yan, wouldn't the house be frozen?
Xie Yan nodded and said, "I know."
The Empress Dowager no longer tried to persuade her, but nodded and motioned for them to go first.
Xie Yan and Wei Changting came out of the Palace of the Empress Dowager together. Wei Changting saw his solemn expression and asked, "What? The Empress Dowager forced you to get married again?"
Xie Yan glanced at him lightly and said nothing. Wei Changting shrugged and said, "Let me tell you, why is it difficult for you to get married? Is it difficult..."
Wei Changting's eyes turned around Xie Yan and said with a smile: "Is it possible that the prince really has something to hide?"
Xie Yan said: "Isn't it said in the imperial city that I am a good man?"
Wei Changting immediately dodged to stay two feet away from him, "Don't hurt me! I am still waiting to marry a beautiful girl."
Isn't he the person who has the closest relationship with Xie Yan? If Xie Yan is really known as a good man, how can he be better?
Wei Changting felt heartbroken when he thought of the beautiful girls looking at him with strange eyes, and fearing that he would avoid them.
Xie Yan shook his head, didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned around to leave.
Wei Changting immediately chased after him again, and said earnestly: "How can you bear to let the Empress Dowager worry about you all the time? If she were not worried about you, how could she support her illness to summon the destined lady? It's just a marriage, how much more can she have?
Is it difficult? At worst, you can just marry anyone and go home, just to make the Empress Dowager feel at ease."
He didn't have time to delay getting married, otherwise his sons would be all over the place.
Xie Yan said: "Then she was left at home to be treated as a resentful wife? A few years later, there was King Mu and Princess Mu again."
Wei Changting said: "Then you should be nicer to others."
Seeing that Xie Yan didn't answer, Wei Changting said earnestly: "My lord, you are so decisive on the battlefield, but why are you hesitant in such a small matter? You are not King Mu, nor will you become Princess Mu if you marry any woman. So.
Is it difficult to understand simple things?"
After all, there are definitely very few weirdos like those two in this world.
"I understand." Xie Yan said, "I will consider it."
Wei Changting raised his eyebrows, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yan would deal with the Empress Dowager, but he would not deal with him because there was no need.
Since he said he would consider it, he really would consider it.
When Luo Junyao returned home, Shen Lingxiang and the Luo family had already moved away. The Shen family's house in Shangyong was a bit far away from the Luo family. However, Shen Lingxiang went back to get married, and the Luo family moved there to live with her for a few days. Shen Lingxiang's dowry was not needed except for the dowry.
It’s not too much trouble to move too many things.
When he heard that Shen Lingxiang was gone, Luo Junyao was still a little confused for a moment.
When I first read the memory of the original owner, I thought Shen Lingxiang would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that Shen Lingxiang would marry Xie Chengyou as his concubine before she did anything.
After carefully reviewing it in his mind, Luo Junyao nodded and concluded: It's not that she is incompetent, it's that her eldest brother is too powerful, and Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou are too useless.
There was no need to go to the academy today and tomorrow, so Luo Junyao went to Luo Mingxiang's courtyard to chat with her for a while. When he was bored, he slipped out to play.
He said he slipped out, but actually the gatekeeper in the mansion didn't care.
No matter in the past or now, Miss Luo can go out whenever she wants, as long as she tells her family.
After all, the Luo family has never been the kind of family that requires girls to stay at home and stay at home.
Luo Junyao didn't know where he was going after he left the house, so he wandered around the city at will.
She is actually a person with very active brain activity. However, she did not feel bored at all due to long-term training, tasks, and traveling on the Internet in her previous life.
But in this era, there are actually very few things to do every day. It may feel fresh and fun at first, but it will become very boring as time goes by.
She likes excitement and fun, hates being alone, and needs a lot of information to fill her head to feel fulfilled.
But now, apart from reading the storybook, there seems to be nothing to do.
Even when reading a storybook, Ms. Luo Er said: No matter which storybook, she can guess all the plot after just reading two pages and rolling her eyes.
It's really...a bit boring.
Liushang Pavilion is a famous landscape in Shangyong City. Because it is adjacent to the bustling city of Nancheng and the location of several important government offices in Gyeonggi Province, it is also a favorite gathering place for literati in the capital.
Naturally, there is not just one pavilion here. In fact, this landscape is at least the size of a third-grade official's residence. It can be regarded as a garden that can be accessed by everyone.
Xie Yan came out from Honglu Temple to do errands. When he passed by outside, he looked up and saw a small figure squatting on the top of the rockery inside.
The rockery made of strange rocks is three to four feet high, and there is no path for going up and down. It is impossible for ordinary people to climb up.
The little girl squatted on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a few strange rocks, and became increasingly just a small group.
Not only could the people in the garden below not see her, but the people outside would have almost ignored her unless they had very good eyesight or deliberately stopped to look up carefully.
Xie Yan frowned slightly and saw the little girl sitting there alone, leaning on a stone behind her back, holding her chin with one hand and looking blank, as if she was wandering in the sky.
It looks like...
He actually looked a little lonely and pitiful.
Xie Yan shook his head, laughing a little in his heart.
Such a lively and cheerful little girl is pampered and carefree by her father and brothers at home. The biggest disappointment in her life is nothing but the emotional affairs between men and women.
Where is there anything lonely and pitiful?
Although he was thinking this, Xie Yan still turned his feet and walked towards the garden.
Luo Junyao was basking in the sun and thinking about life.
Commonly known as - dazed.
She has been living a busy life these days, but it is rare for her to have such quiet moments.
Those two guys, Chu Ling and Xie Anlan, have passed away. It seems that Sa Sa is probably not in this era either, so what on earth is she going to do?
Chu Ling and Xie Anlan seemed to be working very hard, and there was no change. Anlan Academy now looked almost unrecognizable.
Could she just eat and wait to die?
And what the nymphomaniac Xie Anlan wrote in her letter said that she should work hard and save energy to help the white fox.
Can energy travel through time and space? Can it travel back with her?
Is Xie Anlan sure that she was not deceived by the Blood Fox boss?
"What are you doing here?" A deep voice suddenly came from beside him. Luo Junyao was startled and leaned back involuntarily.
With a thud, his head hit the stone behind him.
"Ouch..." Luo Junyao covered the back of his head and couldn't help crying out in pain.
------Digression-----
