Song Jianing and the others left, and Guo Xiao took out the birthday gift he prepared, which was the chrysanthemum spectrum.

Concubine Shu loves Ju, and the nephew's gift is very much in line with her heart.

Guo Xiao is already an adult, and it is not suitable for him to stay in Changchun Palace for a long time. After sitting for a while, he said to his cousin who had been hiding behind Concubine Shu, who was looking at him openly and a little shyly: "I have something to discuss with my aunt alone, and my cousin will go first. Sit outside."

Princess Duanhui was unhappy and pouted coquettishly, "What can't you tell me?"

Guo Xiao didn't explain, just stared at her calmly.

Princess Duanhui couldn't stand her sweetheart's eyes, she gave Guo Xiao an angry look, and went out reluctantly, but she didn't go far. When the curtain fell, she shook her head at the maids, then hid behind the curtain and listened sideways. .

The nephew looked solemn, and Concubine Shu thought of her mother's country's government, and misunderstood that something was going on, she hurriedly asked, "Pingzhang, what's the matter?"

Guo Xiao looked at his aunt, lowered his eyes and said, "Aunt, since I was injured that time, my grandmother has been urging me to marry a wife, I..."

Concubine Shu was shocked, but she also understood Mrs. Tai, her nephew was twenty-two, and she had already reached the age of starting a family and starting a family. The last time her life was hanging by a thread, Mrs. Tai must have been afraid. Can leave a son and a half daughter. It's just that Concubine Shu glanced at the door and became anxious for her daughter. She knew her daughter's affection for her nephew best, but her nephew didn't seem to mean that to her daughter.

"You're not too young, it's time to get married, don't think your grandmother urged you." Concubine Shu said calmly, she didn't want to expose her daughter's affection until she found out her nephew's feelings.

Guo Xiao nodded, knelt down suddenly, looked up at Concubine Shu and said, "Aunt, my cousin and I are childhood sweethearts, we haven't married yet, and we're waiting for my cousin to grow up. This year, my cousin has already reached her hair, so I wanted to wait another two years. When I become famous, I propose a marriage, but my grandmother is in a hurry, so I can only dare to ask my aunt to betroth me to my cousin, if I can get my wish, I promise to be good to my cousin for a lifetime."

Concubine Shu was shocked and looked at her nephew kneeling there in disbelief.

Outside the door curtain, Princess Duanhui covered her mouth excitedly and couldn't believe it either, but remembered the time when cousin Yihexuan hugged her, and remembered that every time she met her cousin this year, she would smile at her, which was much gentler than before. Princess Duanhui soon accepted the fact that her cousin really liked her, and she only cared about being happy, her heart pounding with excitement.

Concubine Shu was also happy, happy that her daughter's feelings had been repaid, but she also vaguely felt that something was wrong, her daughter was too arrogant and squeamish, her nephew was calm and dignified at a young age, one of her cousins was like a snowy mountain, and the other was like a arrogant golden phoenix. The tempers don't match very well, and the daughter who is more affectionate is easily injured.

Concubine Shu hopes that her daughter can marry the person she really likes, but if the person she likes can't return the same feelings, she will feel wronged for her. Concubine Shu would rather her daughter marry a lesser one. In Concubine Shu's heart, Guo Xiao was a good nephew, a young talent with a promising future, but he was not expected to be a good husband.

On her nephew, Concubine Shu could not feel the tenderness a man should have towards a woman.

"You, do you like Duanhui?" Concubine Shu said in surprise, secretly observing her nephew's expression, "Duanhui is ignorant, I thought you were annoying her."

Guo Xiao knew that his aunt was not easy to fool, so he showed a helpless and indulgent smile: "I was annoyed, but I was injured last year, I thought I was going to die, the last thing I thought of before I fell into a coma was my cousin, and thinking of my cousin made me angry. At that time. At that time, I thought, I want to go back, I want to see my cousin again, and take care of her again... "

Having said that, Guo Xiao's eyes softened, as if he saw another person through Concubine Shu, a person who helped him through life and death.

Concubine Shu was shocked by the deep affection in her nephew's eyes. She never imagined that her nephew, who was as cold as a sword and a sword, would turn into a moment of softness around her fingers. The deep affection was like a deep pool of water, bottomless, and like a spreading fire. , scorching hot. This relationship must not be faked, so the nephew does not know his own feelings, and it was only at the juncture of life and death that he found out that he had a cousin in his heart

"Cousin, stop talking, I'll marry!"

Just when Concubine Shu was so shocked that she forgot to respond, Princess Duanhui who was eavesdropping suddenly picked up the curtain and ran in, and said with red eyes, she saw her cousin kneeling there begging for her mother, and Princess Duanhui tried so hard to hold back her tears. I couldn't hold it any longer, and the bar fell down, tears in my eyes blurred. My cousin survived because of her. She would like to exchange her life for such affection.

"Aunt." Guo Xiao said nervously.

The two children are in love with each other, and the man is her proud nephew, how could Concubine Shu not agree

Supporting Guo Xiao, Concubine Shu held her nephew's hand and sighed, "If you have such affection for Duan Hui, my aunt can rest assured, but Duan Hui's aunt can't control the marriage, so you have to ask the emperor to marry him."

Guo Xiao looked at Princess Duanhui, Princess Duanhui would finally be shy, glanced at him shyly and sweetly, turned around and trotted away. When Princess Duanhui went out, Guo Xiao whispered to Concubine Shu, "I want to ask for your consent first, and then go to ask the emperor to marry me. If my aunt thinks something is wrong with me, then the emperor will agree to me, and I will too. Wuyan married a cousin."

These words were so sweet that Concubine Shu laughed so hard that she glared at her nephew and said, "I just found out today that you are also a sweet-mouthed person, so you can only speak sweet words to coax me."

Guo Xiao smiled, but a trace of guilt lingered in his heart. After all, he was going to betray his aunt's trust in this matter. However, after the incident was completed, he would do his best to compensate his aunt and cousin, and would never use it in vain. they.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Xuande suddenly conferred the marriage, and gave his only princess to Guo Xiao, the heir of the Duke of Wei. There was no omen for this decree, but Guo Xiao was a celebrity in front of Emperor Xuande, and he and Princess Duanhui were cousins. It was normal for them to kiss each other, so it did not cause any criticism among the officials.

Zhao Heng stood behind the second prince, Prince Rui, with an indifferent expression as usual, but there was a wave in his heart.

Zhao Heng already knew Guo Xiao's heart for the princess. Compared with his princess, Princess Duanhui was inferior to her in every aspect except her innate identity. Zhao Heng did not believe that Guo Xiao would really like Duanhui. Princess. So, did Princess Duanhui beg for the marriage from her father, or did Guo Xiao take the initiative

Only the father emperor and Guo Xiao and his son knew about this matter, and his people had no way to inquire about it.

Perhaps, the mother-in-law also knows

When he returned to the mansion in the evening, Zhao Heng coaxed his daughter first, rested after the meal, and then hugged the princess and said, "The royal father bestowed the marriage, Guo Xiao and the princess."

Song Jianing was surprised, but calmed down in a flash. After all, Guo Xiao was going to marry Princess Duanhui in his previous life.

She hummed softly, smiled politely and said, "They are childhood sweethearts, and they are a match made in heaven."

Zhao Heng rubbed her delicate chin and said leisurely, "Have you heard of it before?"

Song Jianing nodded and said truthfully, "The princess liked my brother since I was a child. My mother said before the Dragon Boat Festival that my father intended for my brother to marry the princess."

Zhao Heng moved his hand to her shoulder, and Guo Boyan's old fox face appeared in his mind. Could it be that this marriage was Guo Boyan's idea? Does Guo Boyan want to use the position of concubine to improve Guo Xiao's status, so that he will not retaliate against Guo Xiao in the future, or does Guo Boyan guess Guo Xiao's incestuous thoughts and force his son to marry a wife and forget his stepsister

"Your Highness?" Song Jianing called in doubt, wondering why he asked.

Zhao Heng returned to his senses, and did not want to mention the disappointing name again. He lifted her up with a big hand and closed his eyes to find her lips. Song Jianing hides subconsciously, pressing his small hand on his lips, and embarrassingly said: "My lord, I, my menstrual period is still there." I told him last night, why did the lord forget

Zhao Heng was silent, then pressed her down again, promising, "Not tonight."

But the one who should be kissed has to be kissed.

A quarter of an hour later, Song Jianing was panting, hugging the Wang Ye's narrow waist, she hated her menstrual period a little...
