After the dragon boat race, the emperor returned to the palace, and the officials also left.
Because her son won the prize in the competition, Princess Chengyang was originally very happy, but when she saw her son giving the imperial tourmaline bracelet to the girl of the Shi family, Princess Chengyang felt very bad.
After returning to the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion, Princess Chengyang called Mr. Fan Xiaohou to her side: "Where is the royal bracelet given by the emperor?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou knew that his mother was unhappy when he saw her face. His expression was slightly tense, but he still replied honestly: "I gave it to the sixth sister of the Shi family."
Princess Chengyang became even more unhappy when her son called the girl from the Shi family so affectionately: "What sixth sister? Where did you get the sixth sister?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou quickly said: "Mother, I have a good relationship with Shi Jiulang, and you agreed to it at the beginning."
Princess Chengyang: "I agree with you and Shi Jiulang, but I don't agree with you and his sister."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou didn't understand why his mother was so hostile to Shi Fuxin, and asked in confusion: "Mom, when I was in Liaodong, I went to other families as guests and interacted with the girls from those families, but you didn't say anything?
Why is there such a big reaction this time?"
Princess Chengyang snorted coldly: "That's because there is nothing unusual between you and those girls. Of course, mother will not interfere with your friendship."
After a pause, he looked at his son seriously, "But you are too close to the sixth girl of the Shi family, and today you actually gave her the jade seal bracelet rewarded by the emperor in public."
"Do you know that everything you say and do is watched by many people, and your behavior will be misunderstood."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou muttered: "It's just a misunderstanding."
After hearing this, Princess Chengyang made a 'pop' sound and slammed her palms on the table: "What the hell are you talking about? If people misunderstand that you are interested in the sixth girl of the Shi family, how can you say goodbye?" Mr. Fan Xiaohou hesitated for a moment, looked at Princess Chengyang, and said uncomfortably: "My son really likes the sixth sister."
After hearing this, Princess Chengyang suddenly stood up, pointed at Mr. Fan Xiaohou and said sternly: "Are you going to make your mother angry to death? There are so many famous ladies in Beijing, why do you fall in love with a wild girl?"
Seeing Princess Chengyang being so angry, Mr. Fan Xiaohou was a little uneasy. But when he heard Princess Chengyang say that Shi Fuxin was a wild girl, he couldn't help but retort: "Mom, the sixth sister is also the daughter of the uncle's family."
Princess Chengyang sneered: "What kind of daughter of the uncle's family? Don't you know that their family was brought back to the capital just five years ago?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou frowned: "Even if this is the case, what does that mean?"
Princess Chengyang calmed down and sat back again: "What does it mean? It means that she is not qualified to marry into the Hou Mansion!" Looking at Mr. Fan Xiaohou, "Mingyu, your wife will be the head mistress of the Hou Mansion in the future."<
/p>
"At that time, the sixth girl in the family grew up on the border. She has no vision or knowledge. Tell me yourself, is she qualified for the position of the mistress of the Hou Mansion?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou: "Sixth sister is very smart."
Princess Chengyang looked indifferent: "Living in the capital, just being smart is not enough." Seeing her son purse her lips unconvinced, she continued, "Before, your Aunt Qingyang also mentioned to me the sixth girl of the Shi family, in order not to refute you.
I also sent someone to inquire about Aunt Qingyang’s reputation."
"But the news I got was not very satisfactory. Many people said that the sixth girl of the Shi family had a bad temper. She often contradicted her elders and was very aggressive."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou shook his head in disapproval: "Mother, this is slander."
Princess Chengyang snorted: "Slander? This is what the eldest lady of the Wei family said herself. The eldest lady of the Wei family is the second aunt of the Shi family. How can a person whose character is so disliked by her own aunt get any better?"
”
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said angrily: "An aunt who spreads bad words about her niece has a really bad character."
Princess Chengyang: "Even if the eldest lady of the Wei family exaggerates, if the sixth girl of the Shi family is really good enough, how can there be bad comments?"
Just as Mr. Fan Xiaohou was about to refute, Marquis Yongchuan came in.
"I heard you mother and son quarreling all the way away. What happened?" Marquis Yongchuan looked at Princess Chengyang with a smile.
Princess Chengyang immediately told her husband that her son had given the bracelet gifted by the emperor to the sixth girl of the Shi family: "There were so many people in the stands, and a lot of people saw it. When I came back, I heard some people talking about it.
."
Marquis Yongchuan was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that my son has a girl he likes." As he said that, he looked at Mr. Fan Xiaohou curiously, "At that time, the sixth girl in the family must be a great beauty, right?"
Princess Chengyang snorted and said first: "What a great beauty, she's just not ugly."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou quickly added: "Father, the sixth sister is very cute and very lovable."
Marquis Yongchuan said "Oh" and did not comment on this. He just continued to laugh and asked: "Just because she looks cute, you fall in love with her?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou thought for a while and looked at his parents seriously: "Father, mother, and son know that the sixth sister is not as good as other ladies in many ways, but when he is with her, his son will feel that life is colorful.
Tasty."
"When she is happy, she will tell her that she is happy, and I will be happy too. If I tell her anything that makes me happy, she will also be happy for me."
"When she is unhappy, she will get angry with me. I will be anxious, angry, angry, and quarrel with her."
"When I do something that makes her unhappy, she won't go along with me and will argue with me."
"She will tell me what parts of me dissatisfy her, and she will also ask me what parts of her dissatisfy me, and then we will work out a solution together."
Mr. Fan Xiaohou said it very excitedly, but Princess Chengyang and Marquis Yongchuan didn't quite understand.
Princess Chengyang couldn't help but walked up to Mr. Fan Xiaohou and nodded her son's forehead: "My family has been so kind to you, so you have to find someone to control you?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou looked helpless: "Mother, you don't understand what I mean. I mean, when I am with my sixth sister, I feel very real and can express my happiness and unhappiness at will."
"In front of other ladies, I am a noble young prince. What they see in their eyes is not me, but the princess's son, the eldest son of the Yongchuan House."
"And what I'm dealing with are all the ladies in the grid. It seems that no matter what I do, they have no objection and accept it, and they even want to please me in return."
Princess Chengyang was really confused: "Isn't this bad?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou affirmed: "No, I don't like this. I had a fight with my sixth sister before the Dragon Boat Festival. Although I was very angry at the time, I was happy afterwards."
Princess Chengyang didn't know what to say. She sat next to Marquis Yongchuan and said angrily: "There is something wrong with your son. He doesn't like people who treat him well. He insists on chasing those who treat him badly."<
/p>
Marquis Yongchuan smiled: "Since my son thinks that the sixth girl of the Shi family is good, let's find a chance to meet him." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Fan Xiaohou and said, "Okay, we know your intention. During your mother's exams,
, you are not allowed to mess around, and behaviors like giving gifts in public are not allowed to happen in the future."
Seeing that his father supported him, Mr. Fan Xiaohou immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
Marquis Yongchuan waved his son to leave.
As soon as they left, Princess Chengyang said unhappily: "What did you stop me for just now? And you don't really agree with Mingyu marrying the sixth girl of the Shi family, do you?"
"The title of the Wuchang Earl's Mansion is about to end. How can such a family marry our family?"
Marquis Yongchuan said with a smile: "My son is getting better. The more we oppose him, the more he will get ahead of me. We might as well just follow him."
Princess Chengyang frowned: "Follow my son and let him continue to interact with the sixth girl of the Shi family. At that time, the family will not be able to arrest our son tightly."
"The title of the Shi family is about to disappear. The Shi family is probably racking their brains to climb high. The fastest way is to marry the girls in the family into high families."
"I have found out clearly that the second girl of the Shi family married the seventh prince as a concubine, the third girl married to Duke An Guo, and now the sixth girl is eyeing our Mingyu."
"This Shi family is really good at studying. I don't want an in-law like this."
Marquis Yongchuan also felt that the lintel of the Shi family was too low to be worthy of his own son: "Mingyu knows the importance of things. You first follow his advice and meet the sixth girl of the family at that time. After meeting the person, you will have
There are legitimate reasons to object.”
Princess Chengyang nodded, and then worried: "What if the sixth girl of the Shi family uses some tricks to make Mingyu have to marry him?"
Marquis Yongchuan frowned: "That's not true, is it? After all, she is a girl from an uncle's house, she still wants to save face and reputation."
Princess Chengyang: "I wouldn't worry if she was really raised in the uncle's house. But at that time, the sixth girl in the family grew up in the border. How could she care about her face and reputation?"
Marquis Yongchuan thought for a moment: "Tell the boy next to Mingyu to take good care of Mingyu."
"This is the only way!"
Princess Chengyang sighed: "It's not good if my son is too outstanding. Anyone who is dirty or smelly will come around."
Royal Palace.
Kunning Palace.
The prince came over to dine with the queen and found that the queen seemed to be thinking about something. He immediately asked with a smile: "Is the queen worried about something?"
The queen looked at the prince: "Didn't the queen mother want to let the sixth girl of the Shi family enter the East Palace? But today, Fan Mingyu gave the bracelet given by the emperor to the girl in public."
The prince looked blank and thought for a while before he remembered who the sixth girl of the Shi family was.
The smiling boss, Shi Dingxuan’s sister, Shi Dinghao’s sister.
Well, it does have some value.
The prince smiled and said: "Mother, it is not good for me to have too many women in my backyard. Now that there are Crown Princess, Concubine Lin and three concubines in the East Palace, I will not be short of people to take care of me."
The queen said: "The queen wants the sixth girl of the Shi family to fill the position of the last Liangdi."
The prince smiled and said: "Queen mother, the last Liangdi has been chosen by my sons. She is the granddaughter of Dou Shaofu's family."
After hearing this, the queen looked surprised: "You can accept two concubines. Mr. Dou has a high reputation among civil servants. If his girl enters the East Palace, won't you give her the position of a concubine?"
The prince shook his head: "Master Dou only wants girls from concubines to enter the East Palace. The position of Liang Di is enough. The remaining positions of concubines should be carefully considered."
The queen nodded: "Although that girl from the Shi family can make money, she is not qualified to be your concubine. That's all. Since Fan Mingyu likes her, let's forget it."
The prince didn't care and helped the queen to eat.
Wuchang Bo Mansion Lanyue Tower.
Shi Fuxin leaned against the fence pole, turning the lotus lantern hanging under the eaves for a while, and playing with the jade seal bracelet in her hand.
At this time, Shi Dinghao came with a bag full of peach cakes. When he arrived in front of Shi Fuxin, he gave the peach cakes to her: "The little marquis gave it to her."
Shi Fuxin opened the peach cakes and let Shi Dinghao eat them.
Shi Dinghao took a look at his sister's expression: "Sister, every time the fourth sister receives something from her fiancé, her face is full of joy. Why are you not so happy when the young master gives you something?"
Shi Fuxin looked at her younger brother: "Let me ask you, was this peach cake made by Fan Mingyu?"
Shi Dinghao shook his head.
Shi Fuxin asked again: "Did Fan Mingyu buy this peach cake?"
Shi Dinghao shook his head again.
Shi Fuxin picked up a piece of peach cake: "It was neither made by Fan Mingyu nor bought by Fan Mingyu. I didn't feel his intentions for me."
Shi Dinghao: "."
Shi Fuxin looked at her brother's confused expression and smiled: "Are you saying that I'm hypocritical?"
Shi Dinghao nodded.
Shi Fuxin put down the peach cakes: "For this pack of peach cakes, Fan Mingyu only had to give orders to his servants. He didn't put any thought into it."
Shi Dinghao said weakly: "But Mr. Marquis remembers to give it to you."
Shi Fuxin said nothing. Sometimes she felt that she wanted too many things.

She was happy to get along with Fan Mingyu, but this happiness did not last long. She felt that she and Fan Mingyu were more like friends who ate, drank and had fun together.
When we get together, we are very happy; when the party ends, our happiness is gone.
I also look forward to getting together to play together next time, but I don’t have it, and I don’t feel it’s a pity.
Shi Dinghao looked at Shi Fuxin: "Sister, you were very happy when Mr. Marquis gave you a tourmaline bracelet. Do you prefer that he gave you a bracelet?"
Shi Fuxin: "I was happy when he gave me the bracelet because it was a reward for the dragon boat race. It was a gift from the emperor. It is rare and precious."
"Fan Mingyu is willing to give me the second thing that he can't give me. Of course I am happy."
Shi Dinghao: "So, you want an expensive gift?"
Shi Fuxin glanced at her younger brother: "What I want is your feelings, not gifts." After a pause, "Jiulang, if you have a girl you like in the future, give her something she doesn't have. If you give her something she does,
, or something she can get easily, you can’t move her heart.”
Shi Dinghao scratched the back of his head, half understanding.
On May 11th, the Wuchang Bo Mansion received a post from the Yongchuan Marquis Mansion, inviting the female family members of the Shi family to visit the Xizi Villa in the eastern suburbs on May 13th.
Xizi Courtyard is a royal villa, specially awarded by the emperor to Princess Chengyang to spend her summer vacation.
When they learned that they were going to visit the Royal Courtyard, the girls of the Shi family all looked at Shi Fuxin with smiles.
"It's really thanks to Sixth Sister that we have the opportunity to see the scenery of the Royal Courtyard."
"I heard that there is a Huanyi Sand River in Xizi Villa. You can take off your shoes and socks and walk around in it."
Shi's family members usually have no chance to go in and out of the Royal Courtyard. Because of herself, Shi Fuxin allowed her family to come into contact with things that they could not usually come into contact with. Shi Fuxin admitted that her vanity was satisfied at this moment.
It was also at this moment that she unexpectedly found that she had gone over the edge, and when facing Fan Mingyu, she had walked into the wrong trap of wanting more.
Fan Mingyu has a high status and a good family background, which means that he cannot bend down to satisfy his emotional needs.
And she doesn't need a husband who does everything according to her, what she needs is a strong backing and a jump in identity.
Therefore, Fan Mingyu is very suitable for her needs in mate selection.
Looking at the happy girls, Mrs. Shi glanced at Shi Fuxin worriedly. Mr. Fan Xiaohou may be interested in Sister Xin, but Princess Chengyang and Marquis Yongchuan may not agree.
However, the sixth granddaughter witnessed too many impossible things becoming possible, so Mrs. Shi did not express her worries.
On May 13th, the female family members of the Shi family happily went to Xizi Villa in the eastern suburbs.
