Beside the curtain, Grandma Wang raised her head.
She really didn't expect that the Holy Lord was here for the princess's marriage.
In her opinion, the princess is good in everything, good-looking, good-natured, sweet-tongued and good at getting things done.
Just being Shen Yun's daughter can indeed win the Empress Dowager's pity and protection. However, to be able to protect the Empress Dowager for more than ten years, it is not enough to rely on a fairy mother alone.
The princess must be in line with the Queen Mother’s wishes.
The Holy Spirit must be clear about this.
What kind of good man is it that allows the Holy One to take the initiative to open this mouth?
Grandma Wang is extremely curious.
Beside the bed, the Holy Master smiled and said, "I can't hide my thoughts from you, Queen Mother. I do have some thoughts."
The Empress Dowager signaled her Majesty to continue speaking.
"Xu Jian is not young anymore. After the old Duke passed away, I am afraid that no one will bother to think about marriage for him," the Holy Master said in a low voice, "I just want to arrange a marriage for him, but it does not mean that Ning'an will be finalized. Let the two of them get to know each other first..."
Following the Holy Master's words, the Empress Dowager's frown slightly relaxed.
This is not a question of whether the auxiliary is good or bad, but it means that the marriage needs to be done appropriately.
The expression "get to know each other" sounds a little more talkative.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and asked: "Xu Jian is said to still have filial piety, right?"
The Holy One nodded.
The Xu family’s grandparents and grandchildren are different from ordinary grandparents.
Xu Mang had no "son", and Xu Jian, as a great grandson, was supposed to observe mourning for three years, even if it was cut off, it would still last twenty-seven months.
But at that time, there was a lot of friction between the Border Pass and the Xiliang people. What Xu Mang couldn't let go of was the battle at Yumen Pass. Xu Jian proposed to go to the Border Pass after handling the funeral affairs.
Mo Liao joined the army, which has existed since ancient times. It is also said that "the events of the Jin Dynasty are not avoided". Military generals only have funeral leave and no Dingyou. The young man actively asked for military service in the court. These "old sayings" convinced the censors and they stood up one after another. When he came to Xu Jian's side, he praised him for his ambition and his inheritance.
Later, when she was injured and returned to Beijing, Xu Jian took the initiative to come to the imperial study and said several times that she should go home and observe mourning.
This time, the Holy Father reversed the situation. After all, generals were not allowed to leave for mourning, and civil servants could seize love and forced Xu Jian to stay in the court. In the end, it became the current situation where he appeared in court and his whereabouts in the next court were undecided.
"In total, it's been almost two years since Mr. Xu passed away," the Empress Dowager sighed. "It's not too early for Xu Jian to start seeing each other now that they are discussing the matter of marriage."
"That's exactly the idea." His Majesty agreed.
The Queen Mother looked at the Holy One, thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Ai family knows that the Holy One feels sorry for Xu Jian, but why did he think of Yun Yan?"
The Holy One did not hide anything from the Empress Dowager, and roughly explained the matter.
"That kid Qinglue is a bit more talkative, but he's not making things up out of nothing," the Holy Master said. "Whether he sees right or wrong, you'll know at a glance when the time comes.
If you think you can try to get to know each other, I will bring Xu Jian to visit you next time.
If you think this is inappropriate, just pretend I didn’t mention it."
A shrewd light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with His Majesty’s consideration, and it is also very thorough.
This is not only accurate advice from people around me like Eunuch Cao, but also the Holy One can listen to it.
The Holy One did not directly call Xu Jian to Cining Palace, but first had an interview with her and discussed it. She had already given herself and Ning'an respect in her actions. How could the Empress Dowager not even allow "getting to know each other" and refuse directly?
What?
"The Ai family won't mention this matter to Yun Yan for now," the empress dowager said. "The character has not been written yet, so she doesn't need to take it to heart. We will wait until the Ai family takes control.
However, the Ai family is just borrowing the holy land to get a place, and whether things happen or not is not up to the Ai family.
Firstly, Yun Yan has to make her own decision, and secondly, she also needs the advice of Uncle Chengyi."
The Holy Father hurriedly said: "You are right."
After the serious business was finished, the Holy Father asked Grandma Wang to set the table.
"I will use whatever my mother uses," he said, "just keep it simple."
It also saves the Empress Dowager who always looks at the delicious food from getting greedy.
Grandma Wang agreed and went out to hand over the manpower.
In the corridor, she glanced towards the west side hall.
Previously, she had not said this in front of the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
I went back to the Zhu family to help. When the princess accompanied Miss Zhu to the front flower hall, she must have met Duke Fu.
It's just that in that situation, it was probably just a face-to-face encounter. Understanding was understanding, but it was just an understanding.
After lunch, the Holy Father returned to the imperial study to review the papers.
The Empress Dowager made up her mind not to mention it to Lin Yunyan, she really didn't say a word.
The horse can't be beaten, and she can't sit still, so she just asks Lin Yunyan to play cards with her and talk about interesting things.
On the other hand, the prince seemed to be in a much hurry.
He is impatient and always thinks out of his head.
He was thinking about asking Liu Xun to go to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and even went hunting in the horse farm a little distracted.
In such a situation, there should be no harvest, but it can't stop the prey from running into the circle.
When the guards saw the deer stumbling over, they immediately dispersed and drove the deer towards His Royal Highness little by little.
Li Shao didn't waste much effort, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, only to hear the sharp arrow pierce the air, and the deer fell down in response.
"Okay, okay!" Li Shao's uninspired spirit suddenly became more energetic.
The guards and chamberlains who followed were all flattering and praising His Highness for his abilities.
Li Shao was so excited that he jumped down from his horse, looked at the deer being carried by the guards, and said, "I've been wandering around in the forest for a few days. Let's go back to the palace now. I'll roast the deer meat for my father." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is filial, and His Majesty must be very happy."
"Your Highness is really good at your skills. Your Majesty heard this and is proud of Your Highness."
Amidst the praise, Li Shao returned to the imperial city with a happy face.
Taking a dagger, he took it upon himself to cut the deer's body into two parts under the guidance of the palace servants in the imperial dining room, then chopped off the lower back, and gave the muscular hind legs to the chamberlain.
"Send it to your second uncle," he explained, "just say it's my birthday gift to him."
The other half is treated in the same way, and this deer leg is of course from the Holy One.
The rest was left to the palace servants for cooking. Li Shao urged the chamberlain to clean the deer legs for paving. He found some firewood himself and found a dry place in the yard to set up a shelf. After the chamberlain skewered the deer legs and brought them up, he carefully
Watching the fire bake.
Li Shao is very good at these things and likes to think about them.
The surface is gradually cooked, and as you flip it back and forth, the leg meat becomes sizzling and oily, and the aroma is fragrant.
The chamberlains complimented "Your Highness's excellent craftsmanship" again.
Li Shao said proudly: "Okay, okay, pick the parts of the two big pieces of the front body and send them to Cining Palace and Cuihua Palace, and you will divide the rest."
The servants happily thanked the reward.
Li Shao sat on the stool, roasted the deer legs with great care, ordered two hands, and carried them all the way to the imperial study room.
