Someone said: "Although she is in the limelight, she has no acquaintances in the capital. She is away all year round and doesn't know everyone's etiquette. When the time comes to a banquet or some grand occasion, I'm not afraid that she won't make a joke."
"That's right."
"Speaking of which, the marriage contract between Chu Li and Qu Shizi should not count..."
"Your Majesty has given a feast of flowers, of course it doesn't count." One of the women raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Qu has a marriage contract with our family, if you don't marry Chuli, you can only choose among other members of our Chu family .”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other people were a little moved.
The young man was famous for his stunning beauty, and as the eldest son, marrying the daughters of their concubines would be of great benefit to them.
…
Yu Chu followed his father into the room. Father Chu poured her a cup of tea and looked at his daughter in relief.
"Father, what do you want to tell me?" Yu Chu took the tea, looked at him and asked.
Father Chu pondered for a while, "There is something, the mistress and the father... both want to ask your opinion."
"You say."
"What do you think about the marriage with His Royal Highness the son of the Qu family?" Father Chu frowned and sighed slightly, "I think the child is very good, but the mistress wants to find a better one for you. marriage."
"Better?" Yu Chu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, although the Qu family's child is good, but with your conditions, any beautiful man from a prominent family is not a problem. His Majesty also personally held a banquet of flowers for you, which shows how much he values your marriage." Father Chu kindly said Patted her, "What's your opinion?"
"You won't know until you see it." Yu Chu lowered his eyes and drank his tea indifferently, then thought for a while, then frowned and asked, "The Hundred Flowers Banquet... What is it for?"
Father Chu looked at her helplessly, "You can choose any unmarried men of the right age in the capital."
"..." Yu Chu really didn't know, it turned out that the empress could still play like this.
"Then what do you mean, we should meet His Royal Highness first before making a decision?" Father Chu asked.
Yu Chu nodded.
"Okay, listen to you, the mistress will tell her as a father." Father Chu nodded, "Qu Heng is a good kid. As a husband, he must be calm and dignified. If you take a fancy to him, Then at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, just choose two more concubines at random."
"..." Yu Chu choked for a moment, changed the subject, and asked Chu's father, "By the way, father, does mother have a favorite candidate for a daughter-in-law?"
"Yes, the youngest son of the Baili Prince's Mansion, he is distinguished and good-looking. Your mother is very satisfied with him."
Yu Chu nodded, probably understanding.
"Then you should rest first, and find a chance to meet Qu Shizi in a few days." Father Chu said in a low voice.
"it is good."
The time to meet will come soon.
…
"Your Highness, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you must seize it!" The waiter whispered in the young man's ear, holding the dressing box, "Do you think you want to paint flowers on your forehead? Or use a Lip makeup? It is said that this woman loves lip makeup the most... "
The cold young man sat with his eyes lowered. Although his expression was cold and indifferent, he was also a little nervous.
He glanced at those painted flowers and lip makeup, he was too lazy to paint before, but now he is a little uncertain.
His slender and fair fingers picked up the lip makeup, and he frowned slightly, "Girls like this?"
"Yes!" the waiter confirmed.
