Empress Qin was entertaining the eldest princess Kang Hua, "I just returned to Beijing. It was a tiring journey all the way. Why didn't the eldest princess come in before taking a break?"
Princess Kanghua was already in her fifties, but she was still very graceful and elegant. She said with a smile: "It rained heavily just after I returned to Beijing. I have been resting for several days. As soon as it clears up today, of course I have to come in and talk to the queen."
I haven’t seen you for many years, and I thought about it very much. It turns out that you are still good at beauty. I have some gray hair, but you are still so young. There is no big change compared to back then. I don’t know who you are.
How well maintained it is, it’s really enviable.”
Queen Qin's voice was cold, "I do have some medicinal recipes. If the eldest princess is interested, I will ask someone to prepare them and take them back later."
"Then I won't be polite to you anymore." Princess Kanghua said happily immediately.
"You're welcome, Princess."
Princess Kang Hua still understood her temper. She looked at Situ Yan aside, "In a blink of an eye, Yan'er has grown so big. I heard that she has decided on the Zhou family?"
Situ Yan chuckled: "Yes. My aunt has just returned to the capital. I didn't expect the news to be so well-informed."
"Although I am married, I grew up in the capital. You are still my niece, so naturally I have to care about you. Speaking of which, it is a pity that you did not come to the Yang family." Princess Kanghua said.
"My mother has the final say in my affairs, so it's a pity that I don't need my aunt."
Princess Kanghua was immediately unhappy because she sounded so yin and yang!
But before she opened her mouth, Queen Qin asked: "How come the eldest princess has time to come back this time?"
Princess Kanghua ignored Situ Yan and said, "It's not because of this girl Chan'er. She is already old this year, but there is no suitable family for her yet. I just want to take her back to the capital to see if there is anyone suitable for her."
It’s better to settle down with this girl!”
Yang Chan, who was sitting next to her, had a hint of shyness in her eyes, "Mom, what are you talking about? My daughter doesn't want to get married. She wants to stay with her and serve her."
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? It's time for men to get married and women to get married. How can you not marry and stay in your parents' family for the rest of your life? You used to be young, but now that you're old, your mother won't dare to keep you.
If you don't stay, you will become enemies if you stay and stay!" Princess Kanghua said with a smile on her face.
Yang Chan's face turned red, which made her charming face look even more charming.
Empress Qin glanced at Yang Chan and said, "Forget it if the eldest princess is anxious to say goodbye, there is no need to be anxious about Chan'er's marriage. If Chan'er is still worried about getting married based on her family background and appearance, what about the women outside?"
Princess Kanghua smiled and said to her daughter: "It's because your aunt loves her that she doesn't dislike you for being rough. But don't say it, queen. Although I pampered this girl when she grew up, she has an honest and dutiful character."
.It’s just that she is too honest. It makes me worry about what I will do if I don’t get along well with my mother-in-law or my husband doesn’t like me when I get married. As a daughter, I really have a lot to worry about!”
"Then choose slowly, and you will always be able to choose a marriage that is suitable for Chan'er. When the time comes, let her husband's family bring her in with all their glory." Queen Qin took a sip of tea and said.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Chan's face became a little stiff.
Princess Kanghua's expression remained unchanged and she said with a smile: "What the queen said is true, but fate is hard to say. As long as this girl likes her and has a good life in the future, I don't ask for anything else. As a parent, I don't ask for anything.
Is that it?”
Empress Qin dropped the subject and turned to other things.
Princess Kanghua did not continue.
At noon, they were left to have lunch together. Princess Kanghua wanted Emperor Ming Yong to come over and have a reunion dinner together.
Empress Qin also asked people to invite her, but she didn't come.
"The Emperor and His Highness the Prince used it in the Imperial Study Room." The palace servant came to report.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also entered the palace? Oops, I haven't seen the Crown Prince for a long time. Back then, he was a tree in the wind, and I don't know what he looks like now?" Princess Kanghua looked at Queen Qin and said.
"Today is a holiday. My second brother usually won't come in to disturb my father. This meeting will definitely be discussing matters with my father." Situ Yan said.
"That's it." Princess Kanghua nodded.
The expectation in Yang Chan's eyes dimmed a little.
After a while, the meals were served.
We had lunch and drank tea together. More than an hour had passed and the prince had not come. Princess Kanghua said: "It's getting late today, so we'll go back first."
Empress Qin then said: "Yan'er, give one to your aunt and your cousin."
"Yes." Situ Yan promised.
After sending her some distance, Princess Kanghua asked her to go back, "It rained all night last night and the ground is slippery. You can go back first. We can walk the rest of the way by ourselves."
"Farewell to my aunt." Situ Yan bowed without saying a word.
Looking at her back as she returned, Princess Kanghua's eyes did not change, but she waited until she left the palace and got on her carriage.
Princess Kanghua's face showed undisguised ridicule and contempt, and she snorted: "This little bitch, her biological mother is just a low-class concubine, so she was brought to Fengqi Palace because of her good fortune.
Raised under the Queen's knees! If it weren't for this, how could I have liked her back then and wanted to tell her to your second brother? If she still dares to show her displeasure to me now, who is she?"
Yang Chan's attention was not on Situ Yan, and she couldn't help but said: "Mom, what does the queen mean by that sentence? Doesn't she like me?"
"Which sentence?"
"The Empress said that my future husband should carry a large sedan chair and let the matchmaker marry me."
"Take it easy, we haven't even mentioned a word about letting you enter the Prince's Mansion from the beginning to the end. She didn't mean anything else by her words." Princess Kanghua comforted her.
Yang Chan frowned, "You really don't mean anything else? It doesn't look like it to me. And I feel that the Queen is a little cold to us? The prince is in the palace today. My mother hasn't been back for so many years, and she didn't even let him come to visit her."
I’d like to see you as my aunt!”
"She has always been aloof and condescending. She treats everyone the same, not just us. And it's pretty good now. I couldn't drink a cup of tea from her back then." Princess Kanghua waved her hand.
"But why didn't the queen take a concubine for the prince?"
"She is jealous herself. When I was hiding in the dark, I saw with my own eyes that your uncle was slapped in the face by her because he took the woman I had passed over!" Princess Kanghua snorted coldly.
"Is there such a thing? Can uncle tolerate it?" Yang Chan was shocked.
"Your uncle doesn't know what kind of devil he is possessed by. He has no fear of anything except being manipulated by her." Princess Kanghua didn't want to talk about bad things, "Anyway, don't worry too much, just have a good rest."
