The eldest princess of Wei State came out of the palace and got off the car at the second gate of Suining Prince's Mansion. Her face was very ugly. As she walked in, she asked her son Suining Prince Zhou Jintao to come and talk.

Zhou Jintao came over very quickly and looked at his mother's expression, "Is everything okay?"

"Alas." The eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom let out a long sigh filled with annoyance, "It's just a matter of picking people. I don't know who to follow the emperor's temper. It is very appropriate for Empress Jiang to take charge of this matter, and let the Su family and

Assistant Prime Minister Yao, and the Queen Mother..."

Speaking of the Queen Mother, the eldest princess of Wei's face became even more gloomy. She was silent for a moment, and then continued: "The Queen Mother is watching, and she has entrusted me to choose a few good women with good virtues for him. She also said...

…”

For the next words, the eldest princess paused, sighed, and did not say any more. What did the emperor mean by those words? One day, even if the mother is honored by the world, she must be able to bear it...

Is the emperor dissatisfied with the prince? Not satisfied with any of the current princes? None of them satisfy him?

"Auntie." Seeing that the eldest princess was in a daze and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, Zhou Jintao couldn't help but shout.

"Sigh." The eldest princess came back to her senses and sighed again, "I really can't think of what the emperor has planned."

It's not that she couldn't think of it, she had thought of it, but she was unwilling to admit it anyway. It was impossible for the emperor to do this.

"Aniang, there are a few newcomers in the palace who haven't been married in ten years. It's not a big deal to choose some people to enrich the harem. The emperor trusts Aniang the most. It's human nature to ask Aniang to help look after a few good ones." Zhou Jintao

He said with relief.

"I know. Look at what the emperor means. This time, if you want to pick someone high, you will choose someone high rather than a low one. You will choose from the family with the highest family status first..."

"Auntie, wasn't it like this before?" Zhou Jintao continued in a low voice before the eldest princess finished speaking.

The eldest princess hesitated for a moment, and then sighed again, "No, it's a great favor for him to choose people, so of course it's... Sigh." The eldest princess sighed repeatedly.

The emperor felt that this was a great favor. Who, including her, would dare to say that it was not? Which family of the chosen family should not put up lanterns and colorful decorations to show their joy and celebration?

Perhaps, this is all her fault. When the emperor was a child, she and her mother were worried that he would hear things he shouldn't hear, and that someone would instigate him with ulterior motives. They strictly prohibited people around him from talking to him, and

Apart from the husband, the people he spoke to were A Niang and her trustworthy tutor. What they said were words that a prince should hear, and words that a prince should not hear. He was not allowed to say a word...

However, this is human nature. Which family doesn't want their girl to marry a well-matched young man, and the golden boy and the beautiful girl will follow him?

"Auntie." Zhou Jintao called back the eldest princess's wandering thoughts again, "What does the emperor say about Sixth Brother?"

"Brother Six," the eldest princess said with a layer of sadness on her face, "The emperor didn't mention it, but I asked, and the emperor said that he was not lucky enough and he was too careless."

"Empress Jiang chopped up those two little chamberlains and fed them to the dogs. How could it be that she was not careful?" Zhou Jintao paused, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Don't mention this matter. Your Majesty doesn't want to hear about it anymore. Brother Six, he didn't worry about it either." The eldest princess looked tired.

"Then who did he trust? This is not a matter of trust. The dragons and phoenixes are the most noble bloodline in the world. They died suddenly. How can we not find out what happened? If we just let it go, forget it.

From now on..." Zhou Jintao suddenly paused, not daring to say any more. Then from now on, wouldn't everyone dare to harm the prince and his grandson?

"Let's not mention this anymore. Your Majesty still knows what's going on. We don't know the inside story about these things, so we can't talk nonsense." The eldest princess raised her hand and waved it in front of her face a few times, as if to shake away the shadow of the number. "

Let’s talk about business. Since the Emperor has given the order, you can think about for me which families have suitable girls. Please come and enjoy the flowers and let’s talk.”

The next day, the Sui'an Prince's Mansion was bustling with embroidery and swaying for a long time.

He followed his wife back to the Tang Mansion and signaled to his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gu, who was coming out. They walked side by side and whispered while walking in, "Sister Yu's marriage must be arranged as soon as possible."

Mrs. Gu was startled, "Sister Yu is only fifteen. Besides, there has never been any case of picking someone by force."

"I'm afraid it will be different this time, so I'd better book it as soon as possible, don't leave it until the end, just in case... Well, it will be settled sooner or later, so let's settle it first." Mrs. Sui looked troubled.

"Is this what the eldest princess's banquet is about?" Mrs. Gu frowned. Jiayu was still young, so she hadn't paid much attention to her marriage. She was in a hurry to get engaged. Which one should she choose?

"Well, I always feel that in this court, there will be chaos. If the Sixth Master says no, it will be gone. There won't even be a sound. Suddenly he picks people with such a big fanfare, and picks people who are high or low. Wang

Xiang said that he has already handed over the bones of the beggar, as well as the Quan brothers and the whole family. The case is not over, it is about to begin. These days, your father can't stop thinking about the big and small bows.

He sighed and said, "Has the boss been to Jiangning Mansion, the source of the trouble?"

As Madam Sui said, she suddenly asked.

"It can't be that fast. No matter how hard we rush, it will still take a month or two to get from the capital to Jiangning Mansion. Dad also told us not to rush, because I'm afraid it will still take another month to arrive." After hearing about Xiao Gong, Gu Da

The wife's worries have become two.

"Forget it, let's not mention this for now, Ayu's matter is the most important, hurry up." Mrs. Sui waved her hand in annoyance.

"At this moment, the Bai family is the most suitable." Mrs. Gu had already considered the possible families for several times, and Mrs. Sui suggested in a low voice.

"I think that Bai Qiao's child is very good. The Bai family has a good family tradition. You can talk to Jia Yu and we can almost make a decision." Mrs. Sui answered very simply.

Tang Jiayu sent her grandma away and stood in the corridor for a long time. She told the little girl to go and tell grandma that she had an appointment with the seventh lady of Yongning Bofu. She changed her clothes and came out, got in the car and went to Yongningbo Mansion.

Li Wennan took Tang Jiayu in and looked sideways at her as he walked, "What's wrong? Look at the worry on your face, what happened?"

"Let's talk after we go in." Tang Jiayu pouted, looking troubled.

After entering Li Wennan's courtyard and going to his room, the girls set a table full of tea and snacks, and then left. Li Wennan moved forward, reached out and patted Tang Jiayu on the shoulder, "Tell me, what is going on? Nothing is worth it.

You are so worried."

"Auntie said she wants to get me engaged." Tang Jiayu grabbed the handkerchief.

"Oh!" Li Wennan let out a long oh, and asked with bright eyes: "Which young master is it?"

"I haven't gotten engaged yet." Tang Jiayu twisted her head.

"Then it's too late for you to think about it now. What's the point? You see, I've made the decision a long time ago. And Axia, how old is she? We made the decision last year. It's not a bad thing to get engaged. Well..." Li Wennan dragged on

Changyin said, "Looking at you like this, you are the one your mother-in-law likes. You don't, right?"

"Oh, how should I put it? My mother-in-law said she doesn't want to choose someone, so she wants to settle the marriage for me quickly. Even if she chooses someone, there is no reason to choose someone, right? It's not that I didn't take a fancy to it, it's me.

Mom didn’t take a fancy to the Bai family before..."

"Bai Qiao?" Li Wennan exclaimed, "How good-looking he is! How good!"

"Look at you, people are telling you serious things!" Tang Jiayu burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, you say it." Li Wennan quickly admitted her mistake and moved, waiting to hear why Tang Jiayu and her mother-in-law didn't take a fancy to this marriage in the Bai family.

"My grandma and I didn't take a fancy to him before. I thought he was too murderous and I was scared when I saw him. My brother-in-law has fought more battles than him and is more powerful than him. He is also not like him.

The weather is so cruel that he is so different from my brother-in-law. He is not as good-looking as my brother-in-law in every aspect. Even in terms of good looks, he is not as good-looking as my brother-in-law."

Li Wennan frowned, "It seems that A-Xia once said that Mr. Bai is too young and has not enough experience. From now on... If we don't talk about this, you should talk first." Seeing Tang Jiayu burst into tears again.

After falling down, Li Wennan hurriedly stopped and waved his hand to signal Tang Jiayu to continue.

"How old is he? Is he still young? Forget it. Talking about my grandma, my grandma said that Mrs. Wang of the Bai family is notoriously difficult to get along with. She said that I have such a temper.

They definitely won't get along, and all the men in their family take concubines."

"Well, Mrs. Wang..." Li Wennan put her finger on her chin, frowning and recalling, "When we were in Jiangning Mansion, we had little contact with them, but Mrs. Wang was famous for being difficult to get along with. Also, I heard that

She can sit there for an hour or two without saying a word, which is quite impressive."

"That's right. Isn't this suffocating? But now, my mother-in-law is eager to get me engaged, so she is no longer picky. What's going on?" Tang Jiayu cried out.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Your mother-in-law loves you so much. You don't want this to happen. Have you told your mother-in-law? What did your mother-in-law say? There must be many people coming to your house to ask for marriage, and it's definitely not just the Bai family. You

Don't cry yet, crying can only do bad things and is the most useless." Li Wennan hurriedly comforted her.

"As I said, I said I was afraid of Mr. Bai, and my mother-in-law said, I just took a look at him from a distance, but I don't know what Mr. Bai's temperament is like. Whether I'm afraid or not, I won't know until I talk."

"Yeah, yeah, that makes so much sense and is so right. I used to be afraid of your brother-in-law, and A-Xia was afraid too, but then I wasn't afraid anymore." Li Wennan hurriedly followed up. She actually thought Bai Qiao was very good, and he was very good.

It looks good. "What about Mrs. Wang? Did your mother-in-law say it? How did she say it?"

"I told you, Mrs. Wang just has that kind of temper and is a nice person. She said that only good people, temper and other things, will be fine once you get to know her. Listen, what are you talking about? Auntie is just perfunctory with me."

Tang Jiayu didn't say it was okay, but when he mentioned it, he felt completely aggrieved.

"It's not all perfunctory, it's like this, let's just say that my sixth brother-in-law is good. A-Xia and I even fought with him. Now that I'm familiar with Otsuka, I realize that my sixth brother-in-law is really good! I remember my mother-in-law too

I have said that Mrs. Wang is a good person. Just by looking at how she treats Bai Xiang, you can tell that she is a sensible and kind-hearted person." Li Wennan tried her best to be nice, Bai Qiao is so kind.

"I just feel bad." Tang Jiayu raised a hand to cover her eyes, "I came to you to make some decisions. Just say yes."

"It's not like you don't know me. I can't judge people or things at all. I have to go to Axia to make decisions. Axia is not at home right now, having gone to do something with my great-grandma.

I can't come back until dark, so let's do it. It's not an urgent matter anyway. When I come back in the evening, I'll ask Axia and send someone over to tell you, or I'll go over and tell you tomorrow?" Li Wennan didn't dare to take this casually.

Idea, her way of looking at people can tell whether they are good-looking or not.

"No need, I'm just here to talk to you. I'm bored to death. What does it have to do with us whether you pick someone or not? I don't know what I'm thinking. I won't talk about this anymore. Your ex-errone said that you want to make incense.

Lu? Have you made it?" Tang Jiayu changed the topic, she really didn't want to talk about such troublesome things anymore.

"Don't mention it. The recipes in the book are all lies. The first time they were steamed, they all broke. I replaced the steamer with the same one as the one in the book, but it was still the same. Mrs. Tang in the kitchen asked me to steam sophora flowers in the spring, but they couldn't be steamed.

The flower dew can be mixed with it and eaten." Li Wennan spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.

Tang Jiayu burst out laughing, "I steamed it. Let me tell you, that steaming is not the steaming in the steamer..." Tang Jiayu pulled Li Wennan, found the book about steaming flower dew, and carefully explained how she made it.

After steaming, the two of them talked about floral dew, smoked paper, and making colored glaze flower tea. They then took out the various incense collected by Li Wennan and mixed them several times. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Jiayu said goodbye and went back.

Li Xia came back very late. Together with Mrs. Huo, she had been performing rituals for three consecutive days at Taiping Xingguo Temple for the sixth prince who left quietly.

Li Xia returned to Mingcui Courtyard and changed her clothes. She was tired from the inside out. As soon as she lay down, Li Wennan came. Li Xia hurriedly sat up and asked Li Wennan to sit down. Li Wennan came over first and pulled Li Xia over.

He looked at it from head to toe and said, "You have been following this ritual all day long. Why is it so important?"

"It's nothing. Please be safe and be sincere. Are you here? What's the matter?" Li Xia mumbled over and asked immediately.

"Yes." Li Wennan sat down next to Li Xia and told in a low voice about Tang Jiayu's coming over, "...Axia, are you really serious about picking someone this time? In front of Jiayu, I don't dare to say,

Let’s not talk about her mother-in-law. How shrewd her mother-in-law is. Her mother-in-law is anxious, but her mother-in-law is anxious. How could this happen? Even people like the Tang family..."

Li Wennan didn't say anything else. Li Xia frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Bai Qiao..." As soon as she started speaking, Li Xia paused again. She couldn't tell whether Bai Qiao was a good match.

"At least it's better than entering the palace. Let's settle it first. She's still young. If she really doesn't feel good about it in the future, the Bai family is a very reasonable family. But let me tell you, this marriage can be over as soon as it's done. This matter

, I can’t say right now, but it’s better to get engaged than not to get engaged.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll go over there tomorrow and tell Jiayu in person that I know what you mean. I'll stop here and don't say too much. Alas, who dares to guarantee this kind of thing? Then

I'm leaving, you have a good rest, and I will go listen to the sutras with you tomorrow?"
