Lei Xiaoxue paused, then whispered: "Miao'er grew up in the border town and has a wild temper. She has only been in the capital for more than a month, but she feels stuffy and restrained and wants to go back to the border town. What did she do to the grandson concubine? "
This is true.
Shen Miao was like a flower blooming in the wild. She was free and unrestrained in the border town. Once she entered the palace, it was like moving into a precious flowerpot, with all kinds of restrictions and many rules.
With Shen Miao's temperament, she couldn't adapt to it at all.
Feng Shaojun laughed: "Well, let's go back early to avoid any troubles in the future."
Cut the knot with a sharp knife. Leave early and stop thinking about your grandson.
Lei Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave in three days. It's up to you to tell my mother-in-law."
Feng Shaojun smiled and nodded.
…
In the evening, go to the study room to finish studying.
The Taifu would assign homework every day. A group of fellow readers accompanied His Highness the Grand Sun back to the East Palace. After having dinner, they went back to their dormitories to study hard and complete their homework.
The diligent His Majesty the Grandson was not in a hurry to review his books today, but went to the Crown Princess's bedroom first.
Yuan Min had already guessed that her son would come and was not surprised at all.
"Concubine Mother," Zhu Dong couldn't restrain the joy and eagerness in his heart and asked: "Today the Shen family entered the palace, Concubine Mother also saw Shen Miao. What does Concubine Mother think of her?"
Yuan Min glanced at Zhu Dong: "Shen Miao has outstanding appearance, is frank and forthright, and in terms of background, she is also a serious noblewoman."
Zhu Dong was elated and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Next, there was a basin of cold water that could freeze him from head to toe: "Unfortunately, this flower already has its owner. Don't worry about it!"
Zhu Dong: "..."
Zhu Dong's expression froze.
My mind is blank.
Yuan Min felt a little distressed, but with a heart, she told the whole story: "... Shen Miao grew up in a border town, and was childhood sweethearts with Fang's eldest son. The two families had an engagement for a long time, but due to their young age, they never publicized it. .”
"Today I took the initiative to inquire, and Mr. Lei immediately told the matter. It shows that he is open-minded and has no intention of regretting the marriage and clinging to the royal family."
"You should give up all your thoughts as soon as possible, and don't let anyone find out the clues. Otherwise, Shen Xu will be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma, which will only lead to embarrassment."
"You are only fourteen this year and your temperament is unstable. Wait two years before I arrange your marriage. I will definitely choose a smart and virtuous wife for you."
Zhu Dong didn't know how much he heard and nodded stiffly.
Based on the strict teachings he had received since childhood, the idea of "forcibly marrying" never entered his mind.
After Yuan Min finished speaking, he didn't care that his heart was cut by a knife, and just opened his mouth and chased him back: "Go back and review your books as soon as possible, so as not to delay your studies."
Zhu Dong responded numbly, even forgetting to bow and leave, so he turned around and left.
Looking at her son's dejected back, Yuan Min couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Miao is indeed a lovable girl. However, she is not suitable to be the royal daughter-in-law. Even if Fang Dalang is not available, she still has to think carefully. What's more, Lei Shi has no intention of reaching out to others.
My son, who has always had a smooth sailing since childhood and has never suffered any setbacks, is destined to taste the bitter taste of not getting what he wants this time.
…
No one knows how His Highness Taisun survived this night.
Early the next morning, Zhu Dong got up a little late and hurried all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He quietly slipped into the hall without saying a word and stopped in the corner.
Emperor Qing'an was discussing matters with his ministers and had no time for others.
Prince Zhu Yun glanced at his grandson.
Last night, Yuan Min told him everything about this. He originally thought that Zhu Dong would take a "sick leave" today. Unexpectedly, Zhu Dong came anyway.
A man must be able to take things but also let them go. This is the right thing to do!
After the morning meeting, Zhu Yun just pretended that he didn't know anything and said to Zhu Dong: "Your imperial grandmother hasn't seen you for a few days, and I remember it very much. At noon today, you go to Jiaofang Hall to have dinner with your imperial grandmother."
Zhu Dong cheered up and responded.
When they arrived at the Jiaofang Hall, Queen Yuan's face was filled with joy. She stretched out her hand and pulled Zhu Dong's sleeve: "What have you been busy with these past few days? You didn't come to the Jiaofang Hall. I was still thinking about sending someone to call him today."
come here."
What have you been busy with these days?
Busy with wandering thoughts, busy with unrequited love, busy racking his brains to convince his mother and concubine to summon the Shen family into the palace...
Zhu Dong was confused and couldn't help but smile a little reluctantly: "The coursework is heavy, and the exam is coming soon. My grandson wants to get the first place in civil and military arts this time."
Empress Yuan smiled and hummed, and ordered the palace servants to have the imperial kitchen prepare meals. She also called Zhu Tang, Zhu Liang, and Zhu Rong over.
There were so many people and it was so lively that Zhu Dong had no appetite to eat at first, so he reluctantly ate some.
In the afternoon, Zhu Dong went to the study room to study.
Queen Yuan went to the East Palace, and after muttering with her daughter-in-law Yuan Min for a long time, she finally learned what was causing her grandson's depression: "It turns out that he had unrequited love. No wonder he is droopy today."
Yuan Min smiled helplessly: "There's no point in trying to persuade me about this kind of thing. It's better not to mention it at all. As time goes by, it will get better."
Empress Yuan was convinced: "You are right. The more you persuade me, the more you think about it. You just pretend you don't know about it. After a year and a half, you will forget about it."
"Speaking of which, Dong'er is not young anymore, and Tang'er is also fourteen years old. You must be a little bit concerned about the marriage between the two of them."
Yuan Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, concubine, I have already made plans in my heart."
Empress Yuan has always been a carefree person. After hearing what Yuan Min said, she didn't say anything more and just gave a casual instruction: "Don't always stare at the boys and girls of the Yuan family."
The Yuan family has already given birth to a queen and a crown princess, and they are extremely wealthy. If the concubine is the daughter of the Yuan family again, it will be too much to cook the oil.
Yuan Min understood in her heart and smiled.
Zhu Tang could recruit a Yuan family son-in-law as his consort. As for Zhu Dong, it would be more suitable to marry a daughter of a civil servant family.
…
His Highness Taisun was depressed for two days. On the third day, Shen Xu came to ask for leave.
"What? Your mother and the others are leaving tomorrow?" Zhu Dong was startled and blurted out: "Why are you so anxious? Didn't you say you would leave in half a month?"
Only when the words come out of your mouth will you understand them, forget about the feeling in your heart.
This is because he is in a hurry to leave the capital to avoid his grandson!
Shen Xu was not stupid at all, and naturally he would not touch his grandson's heart at this time. He said with a smile: "My father and the Third Uncle's Mansion have repeatedly written letters to urge them, so they set off to go back early. I came to ask for leave from His Highness and see them off tomorrow.
Come back as soon as you leave the city."
Zhu Dong cheered up and said: "Don't be so anxious, just return to the palace the day after tomorrow."
Shen Xu thanked His Highness Taisun and left quickly.
Zhu Dong sat alone in the study room, stunned for a long time. Suddenly, a tear slipped quietly. Zhu Dong wiped it with his sleeve, and then wiped another tear with his sleeve.
Finally I couldn't help it anymore, I leaned on my desk and cried silently.
