Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 696 New Years
Even though she knew many things, in front of Emperor Chen and Su Qingning, the little princess was still the same as before, as if she didn't know anything.

She understood that her father and queen must not want them to worry, so she didn't tell the truth. If so, she just pretended not to know.

The new year has finally arrived, because of the return of the second prince and the little princess, the Fengyang Palace is much more lively.

The first day of the new year is the birthday of the eldest prince, the second prince and the little prince. If the eldest prince is not around, we can only celebrate the birthdays of the second prince and the little prince.

Inevitably, Emperor Chen took Su Qingning and the children to play outside the palace.

In contrast, the little prince is more curious. After all, he is young and has few opportunities to go out, so everything he sees is new.

The second prince and the little princess have traveled abroad for nearly three years, and they are no strangers to the things on the street.

The two brothers and sisters walked while talking about what they had seen and heard on the road.

When I was in the palace before, I also said that there are many things that I may not remember at the time. After I left the palace, I saw similar things and remembered them.

Emperor Chen and Su Qingning were beside the children, listening to the two brothers and sisters talking, they were quite happy.

The little prince is accompanied by someone, and he is very happy to look here and there.

"Emperor...Master, madam." Jing An also went out for shopping when he had nothing to do, and met Emperor Chen and Su Qingning, and hurried up to salute.

"Well, for the New Year's Eve, you also go shopping?" Emperor Chen nodded and asked him.

"Yes." The house was relatively deserted, so Jing An came out to be lively.

Su Qingning stood beside the emperor, looking at Jing An. She had seen Jing An before, and thought that Jing An was too beautiful, but she did not expect that after a few years, she would still be the same.

For a boy to be so beautiful, it's really... stressful.

"If you have nothing to do, let's go for a stroll together." For Jing An, Emperor Chen is still very optimistic. Although he is beautiful, he is not a person like a vase.

"Yes." Jing An replied again, he didn't feel restrained, and soon chatted with the second prince and the little princess.

"Husband, what do you think of Jing An and Chang Le?" Su Qingning knew that the little princess had met Jing An when they were on the road before, and they had been walking together on the road since then.

"Isn't Jing An a bit old? Maybe Hui'er is more suitable?" When Jing An entered the court as an official, the emperor thought about it, maybe in the future, he could be recruited as a son-in-law.

But at that time, the children were young, and he was not very old, and the children were going to travel in the palace, so the Emperor Chen took a break for the time being.

Now that the children are grown up and Jing An is more stable than in the past, Emperor Chen has thought about it again. Before that, he had really thought about it carefully.

Now when Su Qingning asked, he would talk about his own thoughts.

"Men are older and know how to love their daughter-in-law better. Besides, they are not much older. Besides, Jing An has more contact with Chang Le, and Hui'er doesn't know Jing An at all."

After listening to Emperor Chen, Su Qingning raised different opinions. She thought that Jing An was pretty good, but she was too pretty.

But it doesn't matter, her Changle's appearance is also very good, in front of Jing An, she is not too bad.

"We'll talk about this matter when Huier comes back. Last year's general election, there were a few good candidates in the court who were about the same age as Huier. Let Huier see for himself."

Emperor Chen thought for a while, and spoke again. Until now, he still prefers the little princess as the heir apparent, so he must be rigorous in choosing a son-in-law.

If Chang Le becomes the crown prince, the future empress, then her imperial husband must be strict in all aspects.

Whether it's family background, character, or talent, they all have to go through a lot of screening, otherwise, who can guarantee that he won't have other thoughts?
"Indeed, Changle is not too big, so don't worry." Su Qingning responded with a smile. After this year, Changle is only 11 years old, and the distance is still too early.

On the contrary, the eldest princess, I am afraid that when she comes back, her birthday will be over, so she can only make up a funeral ceremony later.

Continuing to walk forward, the couple whispered behind the children.

The little prince was still the same as before, shopping for various things under the leadership of the palace servants.

As for the second prince and others, they chatted while walking, and they hit Jing An very well.

In the past, the second prince was somewhat hostile towards Jing An. After all, he saw the little princess talking to Jing An back then.

Although the little princess was still young at that time, the second prince already had a sense of crisis in his heart.

This is probably the feeling that you will have as an older brother...

Now, he is much older and has seen a lot, and he has a good chat with Jing An, so the sense of crisis before has disappeared.

At noon, everyone ate together in the restaurant in the capital, and they didn't separate until evening.

…………

In the northwest border, the first prince spent the new year with Shen Xiao's family, which was quite lively.

Originally, Shen Xiao planned to let him go back to Beijing for the New Year, if he hurried on his way, it wouldn't be too long.

But the eldest prince felt that since he entered the army and became a member of the army, he shouldn't make special remarks, so he rejected Shen Xiao's proposal.

Together with Shen Xu, both of them stayed at the border, only wrote letters and sent things to the capital.

In the first year of junior high school, Shen Xiao and Gu Sheng celebrated his birthday, and they were quite happy.

On the other side, the eldest princess celebrates the New Year with Yang Huixin and Li Tong again.

Although she was very happy, there was always a bit of regret. The eldest princess was thinking about speeding up the progress after the year, so that next year, she could celebrate the New Year with her mother and concubine in the palace.

Because she couldn't go back, she sent letters and things to the palace.

…………

After the fifteenth day, the court hall became lively again, for the matter of establishing a reserve.

This matter was completely put on the agenda last year, but at that time, the second prince and the little princess did not come back.

When they came back, Emperor Chen brought them to the court, so that the ministers could personally observe who was more suitable.

Although the little princess is a woman, women can pass the selection process and become officials in the court. Why can't they become kings?

After their own observations, the ministers had their own conclusions in their hearts.

Years later, the matter of establishing a reserve was brought up again, and it was time to make a decision.

The second prince and the little princess had long thought that the purpose of their father bringing them into the court was to choose a crown prince between them.

For the brothers and sisters, no matter who they choose, it's okay, they won't have any emotions.

"What do you think?" Sitting at the top, Emperor Chen turned his eyes around the ministers, and he asked them.

All of a sudden, there were many discussions in the palace, some supported the second prince, some supported the little princess.

"Otherwise, let's stand in a team first. Those who support the second prince should stand on the left, and those who support the little princess should stand on the right. I'll take a look at the thoughts of all the lovers first, and then talk about other things."
