On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are only four days left before the Chinese New Year. This is the first year the new emperor has passed since he ascended the throne. The trees on both sides of the main street in the capital are hung with silk flowers, which look pretty from a distance.
It’s just that Su Yan obviously couldn’t see the scenery on both sides of the street. She was always afraid of the cold. As soon as she went out, she hugged Mrs. Tang and huddled in the carriage, wrapped herself tightly in a cloak, and Chu Yan wrapped her arms in a quilt. Brother Mu, who was holding him, put his arm around Su Yan.
The address of Prince Jin's Mansion is very close to Prince Yan's Mansion, only a street away, so it took a little more than a quarter of an hour to arrive. Su Yan got off the car and picked up Brother Mu. When the carriage arrived, he hurriedly sent someone in to inform him.
After entering the palace, Chu Yan was looking for Prince Yan and Chu Ruofei. Before parting, Chu Yan specially asked Su Yan to be careful.
Su Yan was also afraid that she would fall to Brother Mu, so she asked her wet nurse to hold him. Before she reached Princess Yan's courtyard, Su Yan saw Princess Rongyang in a red jacket walking towards her from a distance.
Su Yan picked up the hem of her skirt and quickened her pace: "It's so cold, why did you come out?"
Princess Rongyang wore a gold hairpin and smiled dignifiedly: "I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss you very much."
Ever since Su Yan got Brother Mu, she didn't go out very much. Recently, her brother and sister-in-law have been making peace again, and her mother and concubine fell ill because of this incident, and she took care of everything in the house. , I am very busy every day, but I can't spare time to see Su Yan.
Princess Rongyang and Su Yan entered the room while talking. Princess Yan was guarding the door early in the morning when she heard that Su Yan was coming. On Brother Mu's body like a rice dumpling.
"It's so cold, why did you bring the child here?" Princess Yan blamed her and couldn't wait to hug Brother Mu, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and went into the inner room and opened the blanket.
Su Yan said with a smile: "I want to bring Brother Mu to my aunt's place to get a red seal, isn't it?"
Brother Mu is almost five months old, and he is growing very fast. He is very chubby and chubby, especially this one is wearing a tiger-head hat made by Su Yan.
Brother Mu doesn't recognize Princess Yan, but now she is hugged by Princess Yan and doesn't cry, she can only look for her mother's face with a sullen face, and only when she sees Su Yan does she show a childish smile .
Listening to Su Yan's words, Princess Yan smiled, and immediately asked the servant girl to go inside to get a red envelope and hand it to Brother Mu, then said to Su Yan with a smile: "It's been prepared a long time ago, and I still need to wait for you to ask for it?"
Princess Rongyang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "My concubine's words really sound like my cousin-in-law came here to ask for your red seal."
Su Yan also laughed: "That's not true."
Prince Yan said to Brother Mu: "Look at your concubine mother and your aunt, these two narrow-minded people."
Brother Mu took the red seal with his chubby little hand and looked down, but he didn't put everything into his mouth like usual. I don't know if the people around were laughing, so Brother Mu also giggled He laughed, revealing the gums that hadn't even grown a single tooth.
Princess Yan hugged Brother Mu tightly, but she suddenly sighed to Su Yan: "If your mother-in-law is alive in heaven, she must be very happy to see Brother Mu."
Princess Yanqin and Princess Xianjing are direct sisters of the same mother, so it is not surprising that they said these words, Su Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will bring Brother Mu to offer incense to my mother-in-law on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. The cooking is very good, presumably the mother-in-law is also happy."
"Look at this little daughter-in-law's sweet mouth." Even if Princess Yan knew that Su Yan was deliberately trying to make herself happy, she was also happy when she heard this. Princess Yan sat down with Brother Mu in her arms, and said to Princess Rongyang: "You should learn from your cousin, and marry into the Xu family in the future to please your mother-in-law."
Princess Rongyang blushed when she heard the words: "Mother, what are you talking about, why are you married or not?"
After the new year, Princess Rongyang will be twenty. In Beijing, most of her age have given birth to children, but Princess Rongyang is still waiting to get married, but this year is different from previous years, and the marriage of Princess Rongyang is mentioned She became ashamed instead.
Hearing this, Su Yan asked curiously: "What's the matter? Is Boss Xu coming back soon?"
Princess Rongyang immediately pursed her lips and smiled, nodded embarrassedly at Su Yan and said: "The letter I sent back a few days ago said that I will be able to come to Beijing in the next few days before and after the year. He came to propose marriage." At the end, Princess Rongyang's voice was like a mosquito, and even her earlobes turned red with embarrassment.
"It looks like I have to start preparing to add makeup." Su Yan is very happy for Princess Rongyang. She is happy that she can find a good home. It has been a year since Xu Jinyu left last time, which is better than what he promised It's still a little late.
Princess Yan is obviously satisfied with this marriage, she has a loving smile on her face: "You will ask your cousin to feel your pulse in a while, and take care of your body before you get married, and then marry someone and hurry up to give birth A son and a half daughter is the right thing to do."
Princess Rongyang's embarrassing face has no place to put it: "Okay, mother and concubine, don't talk about it."
Su Yan also laughed, Princess Rongyang usually behaves dignified and virtuous, such a shy appearance is rare.
Princess Yan smiled, and stopped talking about Princess Rongyang, but said to Su Yan: "These days, please help me to pay attention to see which girl is good to marry, the most important thing is people Good quality, good looks are enough, if you marry to be your successor, you don't need to be too high status."
Listening to Princess Yan's words, and then thinking about the recent incident in Prince Yan's mansion that has become known all over the city... Su Yan was a little surprised: "Is it for my cousin?"
Although Su Yan knew that Chu Ruofei and the imperial concubine were making peace, after all, the two of them hadn't reconciled yet, and now she was thinking about the candidate for the next wife... Isn't it a bit bad
Princess Yan saw Su Yan's surprise, she sighed and said: "I would be ashamed to say this, but you are not an outsider, so I will tell you the truth. Before the two of them were not Had there been a quarrel? At that time, she went back to her natal family in a fit of anger. Later, when Ruofei was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor, I sent someone to pick it up, but she was afraid of being implicated and refused to come back. Later, when the crown prince came to power, she was also punished. The mother's family sent it back."
Speaking of this, Su Yan didn't say what was wrong, but she was afraid of being implicated, which is also human nature, and it is not necessary to reconcile because of this. After all, the concubine gave birth to Chu Ruofei For a woman, even if she really can't live on, it's not too difficult to leave her a yard and the dignity of a regular wife.
After all, women are different from men after divorce. Men can remarry, but women will probably be green lanterns and ancient Buddhas for the rest of their lives.
But when she heard Princess Yan's next words, Su Yan was very surprised, and immediately took back all her thoughts just now.
