Although Xu Miaojin had been teased and quarreled with Xu Mengyu just now, she seemed very shy, but she is not someone who adheres to the etiquette of the boudoir. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Xu Miaojin must not be such a person. She often
How can a woman who goes out to play strictly observe the etiquette of the boudoir?
So although Xu Miaojin was still embarrassed to say it, her body was very honest. She stood up and walked to the front hall with her maid.
Xu Mengyu arranged for the eunuch to lead the way, and said at the same time: "The Crown Prince of Qi is wearing aqua blue royal uniform. He is the only one wearing aqua blue clothes at today's banquet. There is no need to worry about being mistaken. You follow the eunuch I arranged.
Just go. But you must follow him and don't change the route without permission, otherwise it will be bad if you bump into someone."
"Hey, I'm still a little worried, so I'd better go with you."
Xu Miaojin immediately said: "No, third sister, just wait here, I'll go by myself." Then she followed the eunuch out. Xu Mengyu looked at her back and couldn't help laughing, and it took a while to stop laughing.
Xu Miaojin followed the little eunuch quietly to the outside of the hall. Xu Mengyu naturally did not want her to walk into the hall and face these princes directly. On one side of the hall, there was a gap that could be seen from the outside. It was according to the rules when the house was originally built.
It was specially left out by Feng Shui. When Xu Miaojin was decorating the hall this morning, he specially blocked things next to this gap so that the gap would not be noticed when looking out from the hall, but it would not affect the view from the outside in.
Xu Miaojin looked in through the gap and saw that they were still eating and drinking while changing glasses. She looked carefully and saw a person wearing aqua blue royal uniforms eating meat and drinking.
Drinking wine, I couldn't help but frown.
Then she scanned it carefully again and found no second person wearing aqua blue uniforms. She turned to the young eunuch and said, "How many people did His Highness King An entertain at the banquet today?"
The young eunuch said: "I would like to inform the Lord of the County that today His Highness hosted a banquet for eleven people including Your Majesty."
Xu Miaojin said: "Including the brother-in-law himself, there are twelve people in total." Then he said to the young eunuch: "Okay, just stay aside." Then he turned his head and looked through the gap.
Xu Miaojin, the eldest son of Prince Qi in aqua blue clothes, is disdainful. Although Xu Miaojin was born in a military general's family, she doesn't like people who like to drink too much. At home, she hated the sight of her brothers coming back smelling of alcohol. Although she and her four siblings
She has a very good relationship with her, but she never lets her drunk fourth brother enter her yard.
So Prince Qi, who had been drinking while Xu Miaojin watched, was excluded, and she continued to observe others.
The man in gray clothes is known to Xu Miaojin as his eldest sister's second son, Zhu Gaoxu. "Gaoxu is considered capable among all the princes, but his temper is a bit too bad. But no matter what his temper is, I can't marry him."
Give it to Gao Xu,' Xu Miaojin thought.
She continued to observe, and suddenly saw Yun Xi who was holding a wine glass, sipping wine, and saying something from time to time. Yun Xi had a vague smile on his face at this time, and didn't talk much. Most of the time, he was listening to other people.
Speak, rather than say too much.
Someone suddenly said in Xu Miaojin's ear: "Hey, isn't that the man I saw at the door of the martial arts hall that day? He is also a prince?" The voice came from under Xu Miaojin's head.
Xu Miaojin was startled, and immediately looked down. It turned out that She Yue was crouching down and looking through the gap. Xu Miaojin had a good relationship with her personal maid, and she would not show a clear relationship between master and servant when getting along in private.
point.
She Yue continued: "I didn't take a closer look at his appearance last time. This time I took a closer look and found that he looks pretty good. And although he looks a bit elegant, if you take a closer look, he must be capable of martial arts. He is definitely not that rotten.
Literary man; he doesn’t seem to be a bad-tempered person, why don’t you, miss, consider marrying this man?”
But She Yue immediately said: "No, this prince looks to be in his twenties. He must already have a concubine. How can a young lady marry someone as a concubine?"
Then another small head popped up under She Yue’s head, and it was Qingwen, another personal maid of Xu Miaojin. Qingwen said: "This prince is about the same age as your majesty. Didn't Grandma Sangu say that His Royal Highness Prince An also entertained your majesty today?
?Then could he be His Majesty?"
Xu Miaojin looked at Yunxi and said, "Looking at him like that, how could he be His Majesty? It's the guy over there," Xu Miaojin pointed at someone and said, "He looks quite majestic, he might be His Majesty."
"I remember seeing Emperor Taizu several times when I was a child. I can't remember the appearance of Emperor Taizu clearly, but his aura as thick as a mountain and his boundless majesty are still unforgettable."
She Yue said: "The current Majesty is definitely not as majestic as Emperor Taizu, but the man I saw at the door of the Martial Arts Hall is indeed not as majestic as the man the lady pointed at just now. What a coincidence, the two of them are today
They are all wearing navy blue clothes.”
In fact, Yunxi is usually dignified, but he naturally puts it away when chatting with relatives. He is not like Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he restrains his dignity, he can still be ignored.
he.
Just when She Yue said that Yunxi was not as majestic as another person, Yunxi suddenly sneezed, took out a piece of toilet paper that he had ordered the internal officials to make specially, wiped his nose, and said: "This
Who is talking about me?"
After that, Xu Miaojin and her two personal maids ignored Yunxi, and the younger people kept making comments. But in the end, everyone was excluded, not only Xu Miaojin, but also Musk
Neither Yue nor Qingwen could appreciate him.
Xu Miaojin returned to the backyard along the original path. Xu Mengyu sent all the servants out of the house and said to her: "How is it? What do you think of Prince Qi?"
Xu Miaojin said: "No, he has been drinking for as long as I have been watching there. He is completely an alcoholic. I will not marry an alcoholic."
Xu Mengyu also knew that Xu Miaojin hated people who liked drinking, so he said, "What about the other people of similar age?"
Xu Miaojin said: "No, it doesn't work." Then he analyzed why it didn't work one by one according to the color and pattern of the clothes. The analysis was quite detailed, which shows that Xu Miaojin really observed it carefully.
Xu Mengyu patiently listened to what his sister said, and then said: "It's okay, don't worry. There are many capable people in the royal family. In addition to the ones today, there are others who are about the same age as you. Take your time."
Xu Miaojin blushed and said, "Who is anxious? It's not you who are anxious!"
Xu Mengyu said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my brothers and I are anxious, not you."
"But no matter who is in a hurry, you can choose slowly. It's too obvious to let the elder brother take care of it. In a few days, I will ask Prince An to entertain other princes who are similar to you in age, and then I will call you from Wei Guogong's mansion in advance. Just like today, I will take a look secretly first, and then tell my sister if I like it."
Yunxi and others in the front yard of Prince An's Mansion ate for an hour, chatted for a while, and then finally dispersed.
King An Zhu Ying personally sent Yun Xi to the door of his house. Several other princes had already sent him away. Although Zhu Ying sent Yun Xi to the door, he still refused to let Yun Xi go and hesitated to speak as if there was something wrong. Something to say.
In the end, Yunxi couldn't stand it anymore and said to Zhu Ying: "Uncle Twenty-two, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't be so hesitant and hesitant."
Zhu Ying then took a deep breath and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, last year, Your Majesty ordered to stop the construction of royal palaces in Shenyang, Pingliang and other places. He will not enfeoff us in these places."
Yunxi said: "That's true."
Zhu Ying then said: "Then, Your Majesty, I will ask the man who claims to be my uncle not to entrust me overseas, but to let me live in the capital for the rest of my life."
Yunxi was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is this the reason why you hosted a banquet for me today?"
Zhu Ying said: "Not entirely, but mainly for this."
Yunxi was even more speechless. If a prince didn't make any mistakes, if he didn't want to go overseas, and Yunxi wanted to force him to go, of course he could. He was the emperor, the most powerful person in the world. But the reputation will definitely not be good.
But more importantly, Yunxi now has many princes on hand who can be enfeoffed, and not all of them are as unwilling to go overseas as Zhu Ying. What's more, if his son is enfeoffed, he won't have so many worries. Therefore, if Zhu Ying is not willing to go out to Yunxi, he will not force him.
However, Yunxi said: "Uncle Twenty-two, although the Nanyang region is not as good as the Ming Dynasty and the conditions are more difficult, it is not the deserted land that everyone imagines. In fact, some places still have great potential for development, but the local people Not being enterprising makes you look backward. Otherwise, why would there be so many people from Guangdong and Guangxi who are unwilling to return home after going to sea? Even if they are avoiding the war, the war has subsided for many years, and they should have come back long ago."
"From now on, Uncle Twenty-Two won't worry if your descendants become ambitious and complain about you?"
Zhu Ying said: "Hey, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't do anything for your children and grandchildren. Let them figure out the future things by themselves. I just need to take care of my generation and my son's generation."
Yunxi had nothing more to say, so he could only say: "If Uncle Twenty-two is willing, he can stay in the capital for the rest of his life. I will not force Uncle Twenty-two."
Zhu Ying was satisfied with Yunxi's guarantee; but Yunxi kept thinking about this matter in his heart. When he returned to Kunning Palace in the evening, he was still thinking about it, and couldn't help but said to Xiyao and Xiyi: "I Unless my sons are disabled, I will send them overseas and none of them will stay in China!"
