When Wei Zhi left the palace, his expression was expressionless as usual, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.
Emperor Cai expressed to him that he wanted to be in-laws with him.
Wei Zhi... was moved.
Wei Zhi rubbed his forehead with his hand, got into his carriage and left.
The emperor fell in love with Wei Zhi's youngest son, Wei Yu, and the fact that he wanted to betroth Changyu to him was a secret to others, but not to Mingda and Changyu.
Because the emperor mentioned it when their family had dinner at night, Wei Zhi's youngest son, Wei Yu, had returned to Beijing from his hometown in Quyang.
When the emperor said this, he was looking at Chang Yu and smiling.
Changyu: ...
She felt a little unhappy, so she took Mingda to Tai Hospital to talk to Man Bao the next day.
The three little girls were sitting on the railing of a pavilion next to the imperial hospital, their legs were dangling in the air, and the servants were all standing far away.
Chang Yu complained to the two of them: "Father doesn't mean anything. He clearly said that he would let me get married a year or two ago, but now he is talking about kissing me."
Man Bao said: "It was summer when Your Majesty said this, and it's almost the Chinese New Year now, isn't it the second year after the Chinese New Year?"
Man Bao probably guessed why the emperor suddenly wanted to propose marriage to Chang Yu, and he had to discuss the reason why he wanted to marry Dr. Liu after seeing the queen mother's illness with Imperial Physician Liu.
She said: "It's more complicated for your royal family to make marriages. Now that you are talking about marriage, it will take a year to make an appointment. Then prepare for the marriage. It will be a year or two after you get married."
"How can it be so slow," Chang Yu pouted, "I feel like I will be married off next year."
Ming Da thought for a while, and asked Man Bao, "But the emperor's grandmother is not good?"
Chang Yu was startled, and turned to look at her, "What?"
Man Bao nodded, shook his legs and said, "It should be next year."
Both Mingda and Changyu were startled, speechless for a while.
Compared with the Queen Mother's illness, Changyu didn't have such a big opinion on his marriage at once.
She turned her head to look at Mingda and asked, "Does Mingda also want to get engaged next year?"
Mingda will be fourteen next year.
The emperor didn't keep it for a long time during the national mourning, but their grandchildren might have to fulfill their filial piety instead of their father, and it was very likely that they would keep it for twenty-seven months.
The royal family has always been flexible in keeping filial piety. The relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager is good. When they are sad, they keep it for a year or so. The emperor who takes care of everything and shoulders the burden of the whole country has kept it for a year and a half. Twenty-seven months
If the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good, the sky will replace the moon directly, and no one will say anything for twenty-seven days. At that time, their grandchildren will naturally relax their filial piety.
But they all knew in their hearts that no matter how much unhappiness the father and grandmother had had in the past, if the emperor really passed away, the father would still be very sad.
So they have a high probability of keeping their filial piety.
After Changyu was sad for a moment, he rolled his eyes, became active again, lowered his voice and said, "Doesn't that mean that I can wait two or three years before getting married?"
Mingda and Manbao turned to look at her together.
Changyu cleared his throat and said, "That's just what I thought, and I don't have any other intentions."
She said to Ming Da: "I don't believe it, you are not curious about what kind of marriage father and mother will arrange for you?"
It's impossible not to be curious, but...
Ming Da said: "I think I'm still young, father and queen may not be in a hurry to make an engagement for me."
But Chang Yu said: "I don't believe it, I think Father always seems to be worried that we won't get married, and he wanted to betroth me when I was only twelve years old."
If she hadn't been unhappy and the queen had spoken up for her, she would have been married off this year.
Although Mingda also has this feeling, but because she has been ill, her feeling is not very strong.
Changyu and Zhou Man said: "I haven't met Wei Yu yet, they all say Zi Xiaofu, I'm particularly worried that he looks like Lord Wei."
Master Wei's face flashed in Man Bao's mind, and he said, "Then you are finished."
Mingda pushed Manbao amusedly. Seeing that the two of them not only did not comfort her, but also made fun of her, Changyu said angrily, "You guys are too dishonest."
Man Bao spread his hands and said, "I can't help you with this."
The emperor wants to marry his daughter, how can she, a fifth-rank official, have the right to speak
Changyu said: "Who said you can't help? You can be of great help."
She bowed slightly, and whispered to the two of them, "Please meet Wei Yu for me."
Man Bao responded, patted his chest and said, "This is simple, I will help you to see it when I take a rest."
Changyu: "... No, I didn't ask you to watch it for me, I asked you to help me go out and see it for myself!"
She emphasized seeing it with her own eyes.
Man Bao: "...you're making things difficult for me, I can't put you in a carriage and take you out of the palace, can I?"
Mingda's eyes brightened slightly, he sat up slightly, and said reservedly: "Actually, there is still a way."
So, Man Bao waited for Eunuch Wu in the imperial hospital, prescribed a prescription for him, and helped him get the medicine from the pharmacy. After that, the three of them followed Eunuch Wu back to the East Palace.
The prince just came back from a business trip, and the emperor gave him two days off, and he was playing with the child at home at this time.
Man Bao saw that he had already shaved his beard. According to the princess, the little emperor's grandson didn't recognize the bearded prince and cried as soon as he fell into his arms. The prince had no choice but to shave his beard.
Seeing Zhou Man and his two younger sisters coming together, the prince gave the child to the princess, then sat on the chair with a dignified face, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Changyu was always a little afraid of the prince, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
Mingda was closer to the prince, she ran forward to greet the prince first, then pestered the prince and said: "Brother prince, we want to go out of the palace to see the folks celebrating the new year."
The prince said: "What's so interesting about the folk youth?"
"Zhou Man said that their family cooks so many delicious dishes in Xiaonian, and their family will also make a new kind of food, which is very delicious. Brother Prince, please let us go out of the palace."
The prince said: "You go to ask the father."
It was because they knew that their father would probably not agree, that they came to look for the prince.
Mingda said: "I also want to buy rattles and bamboo dragonflies for the eagle slaves... Brother Prince, just let us go out of the palace. We haven't been out of the palace much this year."
The prince frowned.
Mingda continued his efforts and sighed: "Father is going to marry my sister, but we don't know anything about the outside world, and we don't know if we can adapt after we get married."
The prince snorted coldly: "Come back to the palace if you can't make it through. You are princesses, and only others can adapt to you. Why do you need to adapt to others?"
Man Bao: ...
The prince looked up at Zhou Man, "You pushed them out of the palace?"
Man Bao: "...they are obviously the ones pushing me, so why do I want to push them out of the palace?"
Prince: ...
Mingda, Changyu and the Crown Princess: …
