Compared with the warmth and bustle in Jiaofang Palace, the bedroom of Xiao Yuhan and her daughter was slightly deserted.
Xiao Yuhan has been a widow for many years, has a quiet temperament, and is used to this loneliness.
After dinner, Xiao Yuhan and Sister Fu, mother and daughter, walked around the palace. Mother and daughter were sweating slightly after walking, and then they returned to the bedroom.
Sister Fu's fair and elegant face was flushed, and her beautiful eyes were like spring water, shining with unknown joy.
Xiao Yuhan has also been here since he was young. How could he not see Sister Fu's thoughts and asked with a soft smile: "Sister Fu, you are sixteen years old this year. By next spring, my mother will arrange a marriage for you. How about it?"
?”
Sister Fu's cheeks were flushed and she whispered: "Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I want to stay with you for two more years."
If she left the palace and opened a mansion, my mother would be left alone, which would be too lonely.
Xiao Yuhan smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke his daughter's hair, and said softly: "Silly girl, as long as you live a good life, mother will be happy."
After a pause, he added: "As I expected, after spring next year, your Aunt Fang will ask the Queen to be the matchmaker."
Mentioning Li Qin, Sister Fu's face heated up.
Xiao Yuhan looked at his shy daughter with a smile, and his mind suddenly flashed back to himself from more than ten years ago.
When she was young, she fell in love with the third prince at first sight during the Lantern Festival. When Feng Zhi, who granted her marriage, arrived at the Xiao family, she was so excited and surprised. When they first got married, they had a time of love. Unfortunately, with the third prince,
After sitting on the throne and becoming the emperor, the gap between husband and wife became more and more obvious. Until that day, she was shocked to realize that there was someone else in her husband's heart...
Thinking about the old past, now that there is no bloody pain, only desolation and sadness remain.
A trace of bitterness flashed across Xiao Yuhan's eyes, and he didn't want to show it in front of Sister Fu. He cheered up and asked with a smile: "If the Li family comes to propose marriage, will you be willing?"
Sister Fu was not too shy and nodded quickly.
Xiao Yuhan smiled happily and said: "You and Brother Qin have known each other since childhood and have been quite affectionate. It is much better than blind marriage and mute marriage. Just do it if you want."
Sister Fu bit her lip, raised her eyes and said, "Mom, when I get married and open a palace, I will ask my seventh uncle and seventh aunt to take you out of the palace and live in my princess' mansion."
Xiao Yuhan stared at her daughter tenderly: "I am very happy that you are so considerate and filial. However, you must not open your mouth about this matter. Princess Lu and Princess Fujian both live in the palace. If I follow you out of the palace, you
What other reason does Aunt Seven have for keeping them in the palace?"
"The palace seems peaceful, but in reality there are turbulent waves. I can't help you much, and I can't cause trouble to your seventh aunt."
Fu Jie'er is no longer a child who doesn't understand things. Fu Jie'er is naturally aware of the complicated and subtle situations in the palace.
Sister Fu was silent for a moment and then whispered: "Seventh Uncle and Seventh Aunt want to make cousin A Luo the crown prince. Second Aunt and Brother Ji are not willing to give in, and they are afraid that they will fight. Fifth Aunt has no fight.
I am afraid that when the prince is appointed, cousin Lin and cousin Ting will inevitably be involved."
Xiao Yuhan sighed softly: "It's good that you have an idea. In short, these chaos have nothing to do with you. After you recruit the consort, you can live your own life. With your seventh uncle and seven aunt here, you will live a safe and prosperous life.
"
Sister Fu was silent for another moment, and then opened her mouth: "Mom, you don't have to worry, I have never been resentful or unwilling. A'luo is A'luo, and I am me. I know myself, and I can't do what A'luo can do.
of."
"Don't say that my father has been dead for many years. Even if my father is still alive, he will never consider me when he appoints the crown prince... If my father were replaced, he would definitely choose a nephew to adopt him and establish him as the crown prince."
In short, being the crown prince has nothing to do with her.
She has never been jealous of cousin A-Luo, she is just very envious. She envies cousin A-Luo for being smart, confident, brave and determined, and envies cousin A-Luo for having such a father and mother who plan for their daughter wholeheartedly.
Xiao Yuhan stretched out his hand and took Sister Fu into his arms.
Mother and daughter cuddled together.
Over the years, they have been supporting each other and relying on each other to survive the long years. They only hope that their lives will always be peaceful and peaceful.
…
In another bedroom, Zhao Changqing was also talking to Sister Rong.
Sister Rong, like Sister Fu, has stayed in the palace all day to accompany her mother since she graduated from Lianchi Academy.
Among the three cousins, A'luo is undoubtedly the smartest and most outstanding one. Sister Fu is quite smart and shrewd. Sister Rong is the gentlest, most restrained and quiet one.
My mother, Zhao Changqing, focused most of her thoughts on her brother, and she was less concerned about her daughter. She was also used to listening to her mother and brother in everything.
Zhao Changqing asked about what happened during the day, and asked the two brothers Li Yu and Li Qin very carefully.
Sister Rong's heart was racing like a deer, and she couldn't help but think about it secretly.
In terms of age, she is several months older than Sister Fu. After this year, she will be seventeen years old. Her mother asked so carefully, she must be thinking about her marriage.
Sister Rong endured her shyness and whispered: "Mom, Second Young Master Li and cousin Fu are more familiar with each other."
You must not mess with the mandarin duck formula!
Zhao Changqing said calmly, glanced at Sister Rong, whose cheeks were flushed, and suddenly said: "The Lian family has an outstanding son in this generation. Mr. Lian is seventeen years old and he is the nephew of General Lian.
.Now he serves under Commander Zhou."
Sister Rong was stunned and reflexively looked up at Zhao Changqing: "Mother..."
Why did your mother suddenly mention the son of the Lian family?
Whether Mr. Lian is good or bad has nothing to do with her!
Zhao Changqing continued: "The Chu family also has young men of the right age. There are eight direct grandchildren of General Chu. The one who is of the right age for you is the eldest son of the fourth eldest son of the Chu family. He ranks sixth in the Chu family and is the same age as you. Go.
The Sixth Young Master of Chu has also joined the Royal Forest Army. Although his official position is not high now, with the support of General Chu, he will definitely have a good future in the future."
Sister Rong: "..."
Sister Rong finally understood.
She looked at her mother with a calm face in disbelief. The blush on her pretty face had completely faded away, revealing a strange paleness and fright. Her whole body was trembling.
Zhao Changqing was cruel and continued: "The Fourth Young Master Lian and the Sixth Young Master Chu are both from the general family. They are also quite outstanding young men in the capital. You are not young, and you have reached the age of marriage. I am here
In the palace, it is not convenient for you to arrange your marriage, so I will ask your eldest sister-in-law to look after you secretly..."
Sister Rong bit her lip hard, tears rolled in her eyes and did not fall.
Yes, she has reached the age of marriage.
Of course Li Yu is good. He is the great-eldest grandson of Mr. Li Ge, with outstanding talents and good character. She has known him for several years and secretly agrees with each other. This is a good marriage.
However, my mother would rather she marry into the Lian family or the Chu family.
