Chapter 709

The queen looked at the emperor with a smile, "You really spare no effort in boasting about your subjects."

The emperor smiled back, "It's the truth, if you want to make me praise King Rui's unworthy son, you won't even say a word."

"I said a lot of high-sounding reasons, but I'm actually afraid that King Chuxiang of Xixia and Xi Shaofeng will be in the dark?" The queen twitched her lips, "If you really don't take it seriously, depending on your temperament, I'm afraid it will delay her for a while." A year and a half."

The emperor just laughed, "If Shaofeng intends to have a secret relationship with Xixia, he will not announce the scandal of Prince Rui to the world, and at that time he will take advantage of the situation and rely on Prince Rui, and after he ascends the throne, he will join forces with both internal and external parties to seize his world. Wouldn't it be pleasant? Le Zai. Don't bother trying to pick things up, I will never be suspicious of someone the crown prince values."

As soon as the Empress heard him mention the word Prince Rui, her face darkened, her eyes were filled with complicated emotions, but she quickly controlled her emotions, and then smiled: "Back then, Mr. Xi Ge suffered a lot in your hands, but Because of his unsteady mind, he did not support the Crown Prince or Prince Rui with all his strength."

"That's the truth." The emperor laughed at himself, "At that time, I was not firm in my mind. The important officials from his meritorious family didn't have a backbone, so I couldn't give him a good face. Whatever decision I make, I have to rely on it." Wait and see the cabinet and the direction of the court, or follow the trend, or vice versa, but I never like to see a situation where the two sides are even."

The queen changed the topic: "I have been discussing with the princess for the past two days. When the first month is over, I will hold a banquet in the East Palace when I have time, so that the wives, ladies, children, King Ning of Xixia, and Princess Heyue of the honorable family will return to the palace." The four princesses and the brothers of the emperor's grandson participated together. The four princesses and the brothers of the emperor's grandson had reached the age of marriage proposal. In one place, the advantages and disadvantages stand out. There is a precedent for this in the palace, and there are people from Xixia and the imperial concubines present, so it makes sense both emotionally and rationally. If it goes well, it will probably lead to a few good marriages."

The emperor nodded, "You can figure it out."

Cheng Zhao had already reached the age for marriage proposals. At first, both he and the crown prince were interested in Xi Lang's younger sister. However, Xi's mansion first had a three-year filial piety period, and then there were constant conflicts among the royal family. The family has been engaged smoothly, so they have to give up.

And Cheng Zhao is the heir apparent in the future, marrying a wife is not a trivial matter, if he fails to take over the family, he has to carefully select from the beginning.Thinking of this, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that Xijia is really evil, why are there so few female dolls?

Then there is the fourth princess, the only daughter under his knees whose marriage has not yet been settled, and her mother and concubine left early, it would be great if the crown princess would help.

As for the queen, she just wanted to put on a stance of living as usual, so that the party members in her hands could feel more at ease.

Seeing that Brother Han was about to turn one year old, and seeing that Xiang Zhixuan was still away from home for half a day, he asked her how she planned to organize Brother Han's first birthday.

Xiang Zhixuan laughed and said, "Just follow the old routine."

Xilong was a little uneasy, "How can this be done? Brother Han's first birthday ceremony is a big deal, if it doesn't go well..."

"It's just the first birthday ceremony, and he won't remember it himself. Although the third and full moons are celebrated in other courtyards, they are all lively and lively, so let's keep the first birthday ceremony simple." Xiang Zhixuan confessed, "When the time comes, just ask People who walk around often come to have a meal, and there should be people who deliberately come to the door, just prepare a few more tables for banquets. I just wait for the day when I hold Brother Han to welcome and send me off." Xilong is waiting to be married It is fine for people who are hostesses at home, but it is not advisable to entertain guests.

"Okay, I hope I don't make any mistakes." Xilong said, "I heard from my mother that several families have already sent them to catch the Zhou ceremony. The branches from far away in Shanxi and Tianjin are also coming."

Xiang Zhixuan didn't care, "Come if you want, just don't wait too long."

"Well, that's what my mother said."
