Chapter 913 The Emperor
The empress dowager's eyes lit up. She was worried that Xiao Xun would not agree, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xun was very willing, so she smiled, "You are the emperor, what kind of person do you want? Tell grandma, What kind of person do you like?"
Xiao Xun smiled shyly, "Naturally, to be beautiful is to be a concubine and a woman. There is nothing that is not beautiful. The second is talent. The most basic thing is to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics. If you don’t understand anything, at least you need to memorize half of the Analects, and it would be even better if you can explain it to your grandson.”
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a long time, "Why do you know "The Analects of Confucius?"
"Here, grandson is the son of heaven, so you can't marry an illiterate?"
"Women are virtuous without talent. This woman has a head, but she didn't say that she should also be able to read and write." The Empress Dowager said, "There is a candidate here in Aijia. Would you like to see it first?"
Xiao Xun let out an "ah", and a surprise flashed in his eyes. The empress dowager was very proud, and asked Yin Mei, who had just avoided it, to come out, "It's your cousin, meet your cousin soon!"
Yin Mei was about to salute Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun took a step back, pinched his nose, "What's the smell on you?"
Yin Mei's face turned pale immediately. She had never been humiliated before, so she couldn't help but raised her sleeves and smelled it. She only smelled a fragrance. Where else is there any peculiar smell?
She just realized that either the emperor didn't like women's beauty, or he deliberately humiliated her.
However, she was born with a beautiful face, and it was too late for the emperor to feel sorry for her, so how could she dislike her?
Yin Mei bit her lips, looking like she was about to cry, she looked at Xiao Xun with her beautiful eyes, Xiao Xun also looked up and down with a grin, her eyes raging, as if admiring an object, "What do you know? How about calligraphy and painting? Have you memorized the "Book of Filial Piety"?"
At the beginning, it was "The Analects of Confucius", and now it is "The Classic of Filial Piety". What exactly does Xiao Xun want to do?
The Empress Dowager was very upset, and said, "Why are you talking about "Book of Filial Piety" again?"
Xiao Xun laughed and said, "Then I wonder what Miss Yin will do?"
The Empress Dowager asked, "What do you know?"
Yin Mei blessed her body again, her beautiful eyes looked forward, but she hoped to meet Xiao Xun's eyes, and said, "If you go back to the empress dowager and the emperor, the courtiers will be popular, and they will..."
"Pfft!" Xiao Xun couldn't help laughing, and said to the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, do you want me to talk about female red patterns with a waiter every day after I go to court?"
A smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.
The empress dowager's face was ashen. Anyway, Yin Mei is Xiao Xun's cousin and her grand-nephew daughter. What is it like to serve people?
However, Xiao Xun was not even in the mood to be hypocritical with the Empress Dowager, he cupped his hands casually, "Empress Dowager, since you have come to Yanjing, you can take good care of your life, if you want to hug your great-grandson, the Empress will immediately It's about to give birth, in Prince Xiang's mansion, I heard that the concubine is going to give birth, so you can make a good use of your grandchildren in the future!"
After Xiao Xun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door. Lu Yan followed behind him. When he walked out of the threshold, he turned his head and took a deep look at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was startled, He almost fell off the phoenix seat.
Xiao Xun rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "I can't help it, who told me that I was born like a jade tree, and now I'm still the ninth five!"
Lu Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyes were as bright as the morning stars in the sky, and he shook his head, "It's useless to tell me, don't forget, there is still a child in the queen's belly, don't play too much , let the empress misunderstand."
Xiao Xun then thought of Mei Mei, he had lingering fears, and was very worried that what happened in Leshou Palace just now would be spread by someone with a heart, causing Mei Mei to misunderstand, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I'm going back to Xiangshan Bieyuan right now. I'll leave the rest of the matter to you."
Lu Yan watched his back leave, he turned around, took a deep look at Leshou Palace, and when he turned to leave, the cool wind lifted the hem of his scarlet embroidered unicorn robe.
When Xiao Xun came back, Xie Zhiwei was sitting in the open room in Zhisong Garden talking to Mrs. Gu.
"The old man said that if the palace came here to escape the summer heat, how could the princess not come to pay her respects to the empress, so she set up a small courtyard here, and when the princess came over, the princess came to live, and the princess also came to live here. I can come and accompany the empress."
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "You are not the only son of Mr. Gu, you can't give them all the good ones. I also bought a dowry for Nanzhang here. In the future, she will accompany me, and it is better to live in another garden." , or live in her own dowry village, it's up to her."
The house here, as the emperor brought the empress to escape the summer heat, the price has gone up.
The Gu family spent five thousand taels of silver to buy this small yard, which is still good. The further you go, the richer you may not be able to buy it.
Lingsu served tea to Mrs. Gu herself. Mrs. Gu's eyes followed her body, and she became more and more satisfied when she looked at her. When Lingsu avoided the room, Mrs. Gu couldn't wait to tell Xie Zhiwei about the wedding date. thing.
"If it was years ago, I was afraid that some people would gossip again, and the empress would know that this is the eldest daughter-in-law of a concubine. I am satisfied with ten thousand out of ten, and I don't want to wrong these two children. If it is delayed, And I really can't wait, so I thought of March next year, luckily the Empress is sympathetic."
Xie Zhi smiled, "Look at what Madam said, although our family married a girl, it is also Madam you marrying a daughter-in-law. Both families have sincerity and can understand each other's hearts, that's enough."
"What the empress said makes sense!"
After talking for a while, Mrs. Gu saw that it was getting late, so she got up and said goodbye. Xie Zhiwei was going to send her out of Zhisong Garden, how could Mrs. Gu dare to let her see her off? Dare!"
One is identity, and the other is body.
Xie Zhiwei asked Lingsu to take Mrs. Gu to the second gate.
Xiao Xun came in, washed up in the front hall first, and then came to Zhisong Garden, seeing Xie Zhiwei lying asleep on the couch, he signaled for the maids to go out, he took the fan from Yuqing's hand, sat down Beside him, Xie Zhiwei gently shook it.
Gusts of cool wind hit, Xie Zhiwei woke up after about a meal, she was still not awake for a while, stretched out her arms, and called "Yuqing", Xiao Xun hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Xie Zhiwei turned his head and saw Xiao Xun, and shouted "Ah Xun" in surprise, and was very close, Xiao Xun saw the surprise in her eyes, and his heart was moved and joyful.
"Mae Mae!"
Xie Zhiwei felt that Xiao Xun was a little unusual today, so he couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
