When men drink together, the most discussed topic is women.【】
Similarly, in a banquet consisting solely of women, even if it is not the main topic, men will inevitably be mentioned.
Of course, the women at the palace banquet were all noble ladies, so the conversation was more subtle, usually starting with "my husband" and "my son". When listening to them talk about court martial arts, even if someone had a slight
Ming'er will be angry if she says anything disrespectful to Yang Xu, very angry! Although she won't show it, she will be really angry. On the contrary, if she hears someone praise Yang Xu, she will be very happy.
Her emotions revolved around that person without even realizing it. A girl in love is like that.
At this moment, Ming'er held her fragrant cheeks and was thinking about Yang Xu. She remembered from when she was very young, starting from the smelly guy who didn't give her any face and took away the firefox fur from her face;
On a snowy winter night, it started with the audacious man who grabbed her hostage fiercely; from inside the underground palace, he bravely scratched the skin with a candlestick, extinguished the gunpowder twister with blood, thinking about every bit of their relationship,
Thinking about what others said about him..., the more I think about it, the sweeter it becomes, as if I have eaten honey.
Her eyes were blurred, and there was a sweet smile on her lips. Her mind had wandered to nowhere, so Queen Xu walked into the palace, called her but got no answer, and walked around in front of her twice without noticing.
Empress Xu bent down, touched the two peach blossoms on her little sister's face, and smiled in surprise: "My little sister...what's wrong?"
"ah?"
The sight in front of her was blocked, and Ming'er woke up with a start. She subconsciously leaned up and realized that her sister was in front of her. Ming'er took a deep breath, patted her chest and said, "Why did my sister walk in quietly? I'm so scared."
"
Empress Xu was both angry and funny: "Whoever walked in quietly, I already walked twice in front of you."
She pulled a brocade pier, sat down next to Ming'er, looked at her cute appearance, brushed a strand of hair from her temples behind her ears, and asked softly: "My little sister, what are you thinking about?
"
"Ah! I didn't think about anything!" Ming'er suddenly felt a little guilty.
Empress Xu smiled lightly, scratched her nose, and said angrily: "You, don't forget, my sister's son is older than you, why don't you think of it? Stop pretending, tell your sister, isn't it?
Do you have a sweetheart?"
"I……"
Ming'er shook her head, thinking that something was wrong, and nodded again, her eyes widened, and when she saw her sister's half-smiling look, she was embarrassed for a while, and she threw herself into her arms with an oops. Speaking of which, this eldest sister,
To her, she is really like a mother.
Empress Xu smiled and patted her back, then held her shoulders and made her appear in front of her again. She looked at her peach blossom-like dimples and gently stroked her jelly-smooth cheeks.
He said: "Ming'er has really grown up. I feel sorry for him when he looks like this, let alone a man. Tell me, sister, whose son is so lucky?"
Ming'er was shy and embarrassed to speak.
Empress Xu smiled and said: "Two days ago, your brother-in-law also told me that he should help you find your relatives. These days, I have hosted a banquet for the royal family, and my sister is really trying to find out for you. I didn't expect that, little girl like you,
You actually fell in love with a man, haha, tell me who it is, little girl, if you don’t tell me, how can my sister make the decision for you?"
Ming'er lowered her head and said shyly: "I...I said, sister is not allowed to laugh at me."
Empress Xu laughed and said: "How could it be possible? In our daughter's family, the most important thing in life is the person we are committed to for life. Why would my sister laugh at you for such an important matter? Tell me, whose son is this?
?Where did you, a crazy girl, meet someone and fall in love with her?"
Ming'er whispered: "Actually... my sister also recognizes him."
"Sister, do you recognize it too?"
Empress Xu was a little surprised. She thought about the children of several meritorious families, but it seemed that no one could match the number. She couldn't help but said: "Okay, don't play riddles for me, tell me quickly!"
"He...he is Yang Xu!"
After Ming'er finished speaking, she was so ashamed that she threw herself into her sister's arms again. Empress Xu was stunned and said in surprise: "Yang Xu? Whose child is this? His surname is Yang, which minister is he?"
Ming'er became anxious, sat up straight, and said coquettishly: "I knew my sister would make fun of me, Yang Xu! Yang Xu! Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince!"
"What?"
Queen Xu was stunned. She was stunned for a long time and then said: "Isn't it right... My sister heard that Yang Xu was already married? How could I remember that he had a wife who had died of illness? You... Xiaojun of the Tangtangshan Palace
Lord, you want to give someone a second string? No! No, no, no! Even if he is the Duke of the country, it won’t be possible!"
Ming'er was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Oh, my stupid sister, why did you die of illness? I... my two ladies are all alive and kicking!"
Empress Xu suddenly realized: "Oh... it turns out she is a concubine. That makes it suitable for my sister to marry a prince. It's just... he's a little older. Let me think about it... it seems...
He is twenty-seven, right? You are only fifteen, um..., you can barely do it!"
Ming'er said: "No, the two wives of Yang Xu are both married by the matchmaker, not concubines!"
"Not a concubine?"
Empress Xu said angrily: "Smelly girl, what are you kidding me about? You can also joke about your own life-long events?"
"I'm not kidding!"
"No?"
Empress Xu carefully looked at her sister's expression, her expression became serious, she held her shoulders and said: "Tell sister, what is going on?"
Ming'er said coyly: "He... he is an equal wife, I think... I don't think so..."
Queen Xu's face was as dark as water, and she was really a little angry: "Nothing? Other women are nothing! But you are my sister, the daughter of our Shanwang Palace, even if you marry the emperor or the prince, what will happen?
One has a wife who is equal to her? What’s more, there are two!”
"elder sister……"
"Stop talking!" Queen Xu stood up and said angrily: "This Yang Xu is too outrageous! He has two wives at home, and he dares to provoke my sister. He bullies you for being young and ignorant, and tricks you into falling in love with your sweet words.
This is really unreasonable, I can’t spare him!”
"Sister, where are you going?"
"I went to find your brother-in-law and summoned Yang Xu into the palace. It was unbecoming and daring. Don't worry, my sister will vent your anger on your behalf. I won't let him off lightly!"
Ming'er was shocked, rushed over, hugged her sister's arm, and stamped her feet anxiously: "Oh, sister, you..., you don't want to go! They... they don't agree to marry me, I still want to
Let my sister ask her brother-in-law for marriage."
Ming'er said, tears streaming down her face.
"What?" Queen Xu could hardly believe her ears. She looked carefully at her sister and saw that it was indeed not a joke. Then she pulled her to the table and sat down again, and said: "Come on, tell me everything from beginning to end."
, what’s going on?”
From beginning to end, Ming'er confided her longing and joy for Xia Xun to her sister. Then she slid down Jindun, pressed against her sister's thigh, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I really like him, so I just
If you like him, please help me, okay? If you speak, he will definitely listen."
Empress Xu finally understood that her love was just unrequited love for her sister. She pulled Ming'er up, wiped away the tears on her cheeks with compassion, and sighed softly: "You silly girl, okay, don't think about this anymore.
, you, you were just confused for a moment, luckily... you just told your sister to know, otherwise you won't make others laugh? Let's just forget about it, don't mention it again in the future, in a few days, my sister will help you choose one personally
A wonderful husband as you wish."
"Ah?" Ming'er was in a daze: "Sister, won't you help me? I asked my sister to ask my brother-in-law for his will. Who asked you to help me choose a husband?"
Empress Xu pretended to be angry and said: "You stinky girl, you are still thinking hard! How can you marry Yang Xu's second wife?"
Ming'er murmured: "That's not it...then you can still have a legal wife, and it doesn't mean you have insulted our Xu family..."
"Isn't that considered humiliating?" Empress Xu tapped her on the forehead, looking at her pitiful look, feeling angry and distressed: "This is absolutely impossible! Don't think about it. In a few days, sister
Ask the married women to bring all the unmarried men of the right age into the palace, and ask your three nephews to hold a banquet for you. You can do it secretly. No matter who you like, my sister will make the decision for you. Don't think about that Yang Xu!"
"I don't! I just like him!" Xu Ming'er also had a bad temper: "Sister won't help me and wants to break me up, so I won't pay attention to you!"
Empress Xu was angry and funny: "You girl, my sister didn't break you up, didn't she say she likes you?"
Xu Ming'er puffed up her chest and said unconvincingly: "I don't believe it. How can I not be worthy of him? I know that he thinks the same as my sister. He also thinks that he and I are impossible, so he refuses to accept it! As long as
If my sister tells him that you are willing to let me marry, won't he feel relieved?"
Queen Xu said in surprise: "How can you be so sure? Have you...have you already confessed your love to him?"
Xu Ming'er's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head coyly and drew circles on the ground with the toes of her boots.
Empress Xu sat back on the Jindun and murmured: "You girl, why are you so bold? It really makes me mad, ugh! This is all because your parents died early, and everyone in the family pampers you.
You are spoiled, how could you...how could you..."
Xu Ming'er ran over and shook her arm like she did when she was a child asking for her favorite toys: "Good sister, please help me. Sister helped you. Ming'er will miss you forever. Sister.
, People really like him, I don’t know why, anyway... Anyway, I don’t like others, those self-righteous young men are the most annoying, sister, sister..."
"Okay, okay, stop shaking, my sister is shaking your head so much that it makes you dizzy!"
"Then you agreed?"
"Well..., it's useless for my sister to agree. If your brother-in-law doesn't agree..."
Ming'er's little mouth was so pouted that it could hang a bottle of sesame oil: "What does it have to do with our daughter getting married?"
"You..." Queen Xu looked like she hated the iron, and sighed: "What if Yang Xu doesn't agree?"
"Impossible!" Ming'er said firmly: "I have to come out, he likes me too!"
Queen Xu said angrily: "You are such a shameless girl!"
Ming'er hugged her arm and coquettishly said, "Aren't you doing this in front of your sister? Promise me, sister is the best! Sister..."
Empress Xu slapped her hard between the eyebrows and said angrily: "Damn girl! It's done. I'll tell you, sister, but there's no guarantee that it will be done!"
When Ming'er heard this, she immediately jumped for joy, hugged her sister, and kissed her hard on the face. Empress Xu thought: "This child is stubborn. I have to discuss it with the emperor. If Yang Xu is willing to put those two His wife has been demoted to a concubine, so it’s okay to marry his sister to him. If he refuses, he must find a way to get rid of this ridiculous idea of his sister!”
