When Wen Xiaotu went to greet the Queen Mother again, she found that the Queen Mother looked at her more kindly.
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, Little Wen had treated all the princes and princesses well since she moved into Fengyi Palace, especially Jun'er and Jinshu from the Xian Sheng Queen as if they were her own. She took great care of the pregnant concubines and treated them well.
The senior and virtuous concubine was also very polite. She was undoubtedly a virtuous and good queen.
"The Ai family is old, and the harem will be handed over to the queen from now on."
"I will definitely live up to my mother's trust."
The Queen Mother smiled brightly and said, "By the way, there is also Jinyan's marriage. The child is already eighteen years old. Although the royal princess is not in a hurry to marry early, it is time to make a decision."
Wen Xiaotu understood that she was the queen now. Even though her actual age was two years younger than the eldest princess, she was still the princess's aunt, and it was her unshirkable responsibility to manage the princess's marriage.
"Yes, I have written it down." - But the emperor never mentioned this matter, and Wen Xiaotu didn't know what to do, so he could only go back to the emperor to discuss it.
Although it has entered February, the chill has not gone away. The earth dragon in Fengyi Palace is still hot, and the Nuang Pavilion is as warm as spring. The little girl Si'er who used to serve Wen Ruchu also followed into the palace, and now it is clicking.
The red plums were pruned and inserted into a large dendrobium with great interest.
Wen Xiaotu suddenly thought that maybe she should get a cat. After her death, the mutton-fat jade belonged to Zouzhou. Wen Xiaotu saw that Nvgoose was so fond of it that she couldn't bear to get it back.
Then he called Aunt Qiurong to come closer and said, "Go to Yongxiang and choose a cat for me."
Aunt Qiurong asked: "Do you want a lion cat or a Persian cat from overseas?" - Both of them are famous pets loved by the empresses in the palace.
Wen Xiaotu said calmly: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want."
It was the most difficult thing to do, so Sister Qiurong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say "yes".
Si'er came happily holding the large pink flower and bird dendrobium and said, "My dear, do you think it's okay to plant so many red plums?"
Wen Xiaotu looked at the large bunches of half-opened red plums with a smile. There were just too many, but he said fondly: "Okay, just put them on the crescent table over there."
"Yes!" Si'er responded crisply, holding a large dendrobium filled with red plums and quickly placing it on the table.
Then, he ran up to her again and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"
This girl is just too diligent.
Wen Xiaotu said with a smile: "Go to the side hall and help the embroiderers, work carefully and learn some needlework skills." - The daughter's family must have a craft, and she will have to leave the palace when she is full of age.
Getting married.
"Slave, let's go now!" Si'er blessed his body and retreated with brisk steps.
Aunt Qiu Sang, who was serving at the side, said with a smile: "This girl is diligent and lively. After a few years of training, she will be able to be a palace maid."
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "Let's practice for another two years." - The identity of the eldest maid next to the Queen in the Middle Palace is also very good outside.
Aunt Qiu Sang's thoughts changed and she added: "But the name Si'er is a bit hasty. Why don't you give her a nicer name?"
Wen Xiaotu said: "She was born in April, so my mother named her 'Si'er'." It was indeed very hasty.
"Let me think about it." Wen Xiaotu murmured.
The emperor Ming Zhao left the morning court and went straight to Fengyi Palace.
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and stood up to greet him.
Mingzhao glanced at the words on the rice paper curiously, "What is Atu writing?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "It's nothing, just give the girl around you a name. I'm just thinking about whether it's better to call her 'Qinghe' or 'Huaixu'."
Ming Zhao was slightly confused: "Why is it April?"
Yes, Qinghe and Huaixu are both nicknames for April.
"That girl was born in April." Wen Xiaotu said with a smile.
Ming Zhaocai didn't want to pay attention to the matter of a little palace maid, so he took Atu's hand and went to sit on the Arhat couch near the window. "In a few days, when the weather gets warm, we will go to the Summer Palace to stay for a few days."
months.”
Wen Xiaotu nodded and said "Okay", the Summer Palace is indeed a good place for vacation.
Seeing the gentle smile between Atu's brows and eyes, Mingzhao felt a little relieved. These days, Atu's treatment of me is not as cold as before, but he has always been tepid...
Especially since taking over the palace affairs, Atu has even put more thought into the Jiang family, the Lin family, and the Cui family... Ming Zhao hopes so much, but Atu turns a blind eye to them.
But Atu was so virtuous that even the queen mother praised her.
"By the way, I have been my favorite since I entered the palace. Not only did the Sixth Palace have no complaints, but even the Queen Mother... seemed not to be dissatisfied." Wen Xiaotu was very puzzled, even if she was the queen.
, even though they are newly married, but they have been doting on each other for almost two months, doesn’t the Queen Mother feel that it is a bit out of line?
Ming Zhao's eyebrows were cold, "Anyway, I haven't done anything for more than half a year." - In the eyes of the queen mother, it is better for me to stay in Fengyi Palace than not to touch anyone else. What's more, the queen mother also hopes that Atu will have a legitimate son as soon as possible.
Well, naturally I wish I could be more affectionate with the new queen.
Wen Xiaotu was startled. Half a year? That is, after Lin Cai and Cui Baolin became pregnant?
She was silent for a moment, then directly changed the subject and said: "Today, the Queen Mother also mentioned the eldest princess's marriage. I wonder what the Emperor's plan is?"
Ming Zhao showed a dissatisfied look: "Concubine De has been pestering the Queen Mother recently, so the Queen Mother asked about you."
Wen Xiaotu was puzzled: "Why didn't the Queen Mother directly mention this matter to the Emperor?"
Ming Zhao said coldly: "Because I have returned to my mother's house, I can make my own decision about Jinyan's marriage!"
Wen Xiaotu: You have such an attitude towards the Queen Mother? No wonder the Queen Mother had to take a roundabout way to mention it to her!
"I don't know what the emperor's decision is?" The eldest princess is not young anymore, and it's time to marry her.
Ming Zhao then said directly: "Cheng Jihua, the grandson of Princess Xuanci and the son of Marquis Chengyi, is also eighteen years old. Among the children of the noble family, his talent, learning and character are pretty good."
Wen Xiaotu was slightly surprised, "Isn't that the eldest princess's cousin?" - Princess Xuanci is the sister of the late emperor, and she is also the direct daughter of Emperor Taizong, so she can be respected as the eldest princess. But this eldest princess
The princess is not as reliant on her old age as the eldest princess of Jinyang - but this old princess died long ago when she was a concubine. Among the princesses in the royal family nowadays, the eldest princess Xuanci is naturally the most respected.
Ming Zhao nodded: "Kiss, kiss, kiss."
Ming Zhao suddenly noticed that something was wrong with A Tu's face, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Wen Xiaotu then thought about it, they were not direct cousins, and the eldest princess and the late emperor were not born from the same mother. Their blood relationship was further distant, so it shouldn't be a big deal, so he said: "No, it's good."
Ming Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "Although Chengyi Hou Chengning was not born to Aunt Xuanci, he was raised under his knees since he was a child and served his aunt with the utmost filial piety, which is no different from his own."
Huh? The co-authors are not related by blood!
"That's good!" Wen Xiaotu finally felt relieved. After all, she had watched the eldest princess grow up, so she naturally hoped that the child would marry a good husband.
There was a gentle smile on Ming Zhao's eyebrows, "I know that A'tu loves Jinyan very much, and Jinyan is my eldest daughter, so how could I not care about her marriage? I have been careful in private all morning.
I chose carefully."
After saying that, Ming Zhaofu showed a bit of displeasure again: "It's just that I heard that Jinyan rarely comes to greet you?"
