Si Haoze saw the little gestures of the emperor and empress that they did not hide, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The meal was very enjoyable. Si Haoze had not been so relaxed and happy for a long time. He looked up at Si Ningchi from time to time and felt that his sister had changed too much in just a few years.
The emperor's unique love for Si Ningchi is not fake at all, so he should feel at ease.
Zhao Zongheng did not stay long and returned to Xuanming Palace after dinner. Si Ningchi asked the emperor to let Si Haoze stay in the palace tonight because of his brother's inconvenience. The brother and sister had not talked for a long time, and Zhao Zongheng was very happy.
Approved.
The little princess refused to leave, so they sat down together in the main hall to talk.
As soon as she sat down, she saw unfinished paper-cuts lying next to her. Suyun liked tinkering with those things when she had nothing to do. The little princess also came here and wanted to learn a lesson.
Don't underestimate this paper-cutting, it is a rare craft. This girl Suyun is very skillful. She can embroider and cut paper. Look at the lifelike rabbit she cut out. Fang Zhiyao exclaimed that it looks good and she was very excited when she saw it.
Need to learn.
"Little princess, you didn't understand the chess game today, so you have to learn paper-cutting again?" Si Ningchi tilted his head and leaned lazily on the chaise longue, looked at Fang Zhiyao with half-closed eyes and said with a smile: "You are so typical
I picked up the watermelon and lost the sesame seeds."
"Eh?" Fang Zhiyao turned to look at Si Ningchi and said confidently: "Empress, I will learn all these!"
"It's a good thing that the little princess is so eager to learn. Queen, please don't temper her." Si Haoze sat beside him with a smile on his face and spoke up for the little princess.
"Brother can say nice things." Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows slightly, and stopped talking about Fang Zhiyao. He turned to look at Si Haoze and said, "Since Liu's mother and daughter left Beijing, my brother has been in the palace.
Are you still comfortable living outside?"
Si Haoze knew what Si Ningchi was asking. He lowered his eyes and whispered with a hint of helplessness on his brows: "Father has come to the house many times to ask me to go back to the Hou Mansion."<
/p>
Of course Si Haoze did not respond. Although Si Haoze was indeed a little moved when he saw his father bowing to him for the first time, he also knew in his heart that once he returned to the Hou Mansion as Si Yirong wished, the next step would be
I want him to be a lobbyist and come to persuade the Queen to let the Liu family and her daughter return to the capital.
He is no longer the young master who left Si Yirong alone. Now, after experiencing so many things, he can understand everything that should be understood.
"It seems like the old guy still hasn't given up." Si Ningchi's rude words made Si Haoze look slightly sideways, but he didn't say anything in defense.
"I have never asked, brother, has he ever considered starting a family?" This is probably the first time that Si Ningchi has spoken directly to Si Haoze about his personal matters. It stands to reason that as a younger sister, she would not ask much about such things, but they
Brothers and sisters are different. After all, as a queen, Si Ningchi's identity lies here.
Si Haoze raised his eyes when he heard this, and was slightly silent, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
Then I heard Si Ningchi continue to say: "My father only wants my brother to return to the Hou Mansion, and he probably also wants to arrange a marriage for his brother. After all, if he can win allies to the Hou Mansion, my father will be very happy."
Si Ningchi paused, raised his eyes to look at Si Haoze and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know yet? That Liu family has been looking for famous doctors several times, worshiping Guanyin, begging for a child, and eager to be a marquis.
She gave birth to a baby boy."
"If there is another young master in the Marquis Mansion, won't the title of the Marquis Mansion have to be taken away by that bitch's child?" Si Ningchi sneered, and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "I don't care about anything.
The position of Marquis."
"Just thinking about it, if it weren't for the help of my mother's clan back then, would Si Yirong be worthy of fighting for this power?"
"Now that I have to give up the position of Marquis to that bitch's child, I am not happy."
Si Ningchi raised his chin slightly, looked at Si Haoze and said, "If brother gets married, it won't be Si Yirong's turn. I have many ways to fight for the position of marquis for you." p>
Si Haoze fell silent looking at Si Ningchi's proud expression, and the hand on his knee couldn't help but tighten a little. In the past, he might have been confident enough to get a good marriage and start a family, but now...
…
Si Haoze pondered for a long time before silently speaking: "This matter..."
"Let's discuss it later." Si Haoze said with a bitter look on his face: "With my appearance, there may not be any young lady in Beijing willing to marry me."
Si Haoze and Si Ningchi were talking here, and Fang Zhiyao was cutting paper seriously, but as he was cutting, he couldn't help but listen, especially when he heard about Si Haoze's marriage.
At that moment, the scissors in Fang Zhiyao's hand stopped moving.
All I can think about is, Queen, what does this mean?
Are you going to help the eldest son arrange his marriage?
Si Ningchi looked indifferent, looked at Si Haoze and said softly: "There are thousands of women in the world, and they will have a discerning eye to recognize people."
"Brother is so outstanding. Even if he is sitting in a wheelchair, he still has the ability to guide the country. How can he be looked down upon by others?" Si Ningchi frowned slightly, looked at Si Haoze and said, "Brother, there is no need to be so arrogant."
Si Haoze looked up at Si Ningchi and laughed dumbly. Maybe he only looked like this in the eyes of his sister?
Si Ningchi held up his chin and said: "If we change the Japanese Palace, we will look carefully. What kind of marriageable women are there in the capital?"
"Don't be so anxious..."
"Urgent, of course urgent."
Si Ningchi was serious. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl who was tilting her body and looking like she wanted to move her ears over. She laughed secretly. Can't you be more anxious?
If there is no hurry, this little girl should go back to the fiefdom.
Si Haoze's speechless response was regarded as acquiescence, but Fang Zhiyao was still secretly anxious, wanting to know clearly which young lady the queen was planning to talk about?
"Little princess? What did you cut?" Su Yun held Fang Zhiyao's messy cut and was speechless.
"Ah!" She suddenly came to her senses, quickly snatched the things from Suyun's hand, and said anxiously: "This, this doesn't count, let's start over!"
Finally, with Fang Zhiyao's unremitting efforts, she was able to cut out a decent paper-cut, which was an orchid.
A gentleman is like an orchid.
Fang Zhiyao folded the paper-cut awkwardly and carefully, then handed it to Si Haoze and said, "This is for the eldest son, as a thank you to the eldest son for playing chess with me today, and for being so humble as a thank you gift.
”
Si Haoze looked at the origami lying in his hand and was stunned. Isn't this 'thank you gift' a bit too shabby?
"I will thank the eldest son properly some other time. I will go back first!" Fang Zhiyao felt a little hot at his look.
