Chapter 72
After Eunuch Qin left, Wang Bo sent him back.
"My lord, according to this servant, this Eunuch Qin does not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. He came to the mansion suddenly today. I am afraid that the two above are thinking about something again."
Ye Jiu sneered. "What can I think about? I'm afraid I can't sit still because I stay in the mansion and rarely go to the hot spring village. I want to find out the truth in the name of caring."
"Are they guessing that your illness has improved?"
"Part of the reason is." Ye Jiu paused. "There is also a part of the reason. I'm afraid they want to interfere in my marriage."
Ye Jiu remembered what Nie Xiaoyi said that day, so it was not difficult to guess the primary purpose of Eunuch Qin's trip.
Royal Palace.
When Eunuch Qin returned to Changle Palace, the emperor was drinking tea with the queen mother.
When Eunuch Qin saw that the emperor was there, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. "The servant has seen the emperor and the queen mother."
Zhao Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head, and glanced at him. "It turns out that Qin Shuo is back! You went to Shizi Mansion, did you see Jiu'er? Is he in better health?"
Qin Shuo replied. "Returning to Your Majesty, the slave has only seen the Shizi, and the body of the Shizi doesn't seem to be getting better."
"Nonsense!" As soon as Zhao Zheng's aura was opened, the strong aura of the long-time superior immediately frightened Qin Shuo to fight. "He has a bad body and doesn't know how to cherish himself. Isn't this deliberately worrying us as elders?"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the empress dowager comforted him. "Your Majesty, don't be angry with him either. Jiu'er is all used to you because of her poor health since she was a child."
The emperor suppressed his anger after hearing what the queen mother said. "It's as if the mother didn't get used to him."
The queen mother laughed when she heard "hehe". "Among so many grandsons, he is the weakest in health, and he is the most used to him."
Zhao Zheng could only shake his head and smile wryly. "I heard that in a few days, the Empress is going to hold a plum appreciation banquet, and invite the children of important ministers and noble daughters in Beijing to participate. I also think that if Jiu'er is in better health, I can also come and have fun with the big guys. , it’s better than him being locked up in the mansion alone for many years.”
"It's rare that the emperor always remembers Jiuer in his heart." The queen mother asked Qin Shuo who was kneeling sideways when she said this. "Xiao Shuozi, in your opinion, Jiu'er might barely attend the queen's plum feast?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, I met him today in the Nuan Pavilion in the Shizi's courtyard. During this period, the Shizi has been coughing non-stop. If he goes out of the house and catches the cold again, I'm afraid it will be the Emperor and the Queen Mother who will feel distressed." Qin Shuo The smart one didn't answer yes or no, but just told Ye Jiu's recent situation and his worries.
Zhao Zheng frowned after hearing his words. "In this case, it's better not to stay in the house."
The queen mother looked at his distressed look and said. "Fortunately, the cold poison in Jiu'er's body will be much better when the next spring begins. Although he missed the plum blossom feast, he can still participate in the peach blossom feast, lotus feast, and chrysanthemum feast in the future..."
After hearing this, Zhao Zheng relaxed his brows. "What the queen mother said was that the son was too anxious."
……
Loyalty House.
Xia He is resting at home today.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Xu came over and talked about Xia Mingyue and the Shen family's affairs, and also mentioned the shortage of banks in the mansion.
Before leaving, he suddenly mentioned that many children of the rich and powerful in Kyoto had received the empress's flower post.
Xia He didn't take it to heart, and said casually. "Such banquets are held once or twice a year in the palace. From last year to this year, I also received three posts, and every time I went to Second Aunt, I would ask Sister Yue to accompany me. In the future, the empress will never post to us."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu nodded hurriedly. "I also know this is the reason, but I think that this is also a lively event in Kyoto this winter, so I will tell you about it."
After Mrs. Xu left, Lan Xin said. "Miss, the empress empress gave the flower post, why does this servant feel that the third lady is very caring."
Xia He chuckled. "She was thinking that, as Brother Quan's uncle, she should have received the flower post no matter what."
Cui Liu interrupted from the side. "My servant heard from Sister Lan Xin that this kind of banquet is attended by unmarried young masters and young ladies. It's a bit like a rich and powerful family in disguise."
Xia He nodded, and the smile on his face deepened. "Once, someone was given a marriage by the empress on the spot!"
Cui Liu laughed after hearing this. "However, the third lady was worried too early. Our young master will not turn fourteen in two more days."
Xia He shook his head. "Anyone who receives a flower post can bring a maid or servant to go. But most people want to seize this opportunity, and often let brothers and sisters from the uncle's family go in this capacity. I guess the third aunt is not Worrying for Brother Quan, I want to plan for Brother Jun."
As soon as Cui Liu heard what Xia He said, she understood. "The feeling is that the third master and the third wife want to use the young master's light to let the young master Jun climb high!"
Xia He said. "Poor parents all over the world, there is nothing wrong with them planning for Brother Jun, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary and hurt Brother Quan."
Outside the Nuan Pavilion, Xia Tingquan took Dongzi outside the door and listened to the words of Xia He's master and servant. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
As the days went by, and the more he got along with Xia He, he became more and more fortunate. Back then, when he was adopted to his uncle, that was God's best treatment for him.
He pushed open the curtain and stepped into the warm pavilion.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" He squeezed onto the heated Kang where Xia He was sitting.
"We're talking about posting flowers." Xia He moved inside to make room for him.
Xia Tingquan squeezed her again. "I've heard about this too. It seems to be quite lively recently."
"After all, it is a royal banquet, so naturally it has attracted a lot of attention." Xia He said.
Xia Tingquan picked up the fruit on the low table and took a bite. "I'm still young, so things like this don't make much sense to me. But you are different. You will be fifteen in the coming year. These three years are the most important three years for a woman. But These three years have happened to be filial piety for you! After three years, you will be seventeen or eighteen, and it would be good if someone wants you, so there is no room for you to choose."
The more Xia Tingquan talked, the more worried he became.
As long as he thought of Xia He missing this opportunity to see each other because of his filial piety, he would feel annoyed.
Xia He's face was blackened by what he said. "You're making it sound like I'm losing 1000 million taels of gold if I miss this meeting."
Seeing her disapproval, Xia Tingquan became even more anxious. "Since ancient times, this marriage has been ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. But where are the parents above us to worry about this for you? You have to rely on yourself."
Xia He nodded. "It's not wrong to think so. It's just that your sister and I are picky! Not everyone can see it."
When saying this, Xia He thought of Ye Jiu.
If the lover is not him, she would rather die alone.
