Concubine Nan'an only invited Jia's family members, Mrs. Jiang, Niu Fu, and Prince Tengfu to accompany her today. Because these families are all close relatives, the atmosphere is very relaxed.

The weather is warm today, and the banquet was placed in the garden of the palace. A stage across the water is a stage. When it is ordered, it is called to sing one by one.

While eating tea, fruit and snacks, chatting and watching a play, Princess Nan'an asked Mrs. Jiang, "Why didn't Zhengqian's daughter-in-law call for one?"

Mother Jia and Wang Zixuan also looked at Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Yi is not feeling well these days, she is staying at home."

Wang Zixuan hurriedly asked: "Is brother one seriously ill?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "It's all right, but the weather is dry in autumn, and I have some coughs. I have asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine. I didn't say anything because I was afraid that you might be worried."

Jia Mu and Wang Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Nan'an asked again: "Your master thinks that he will be promoted again this time, do you believe me?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Not yet, the Holy One is sympathetic to the masters who have been tired all these years, let him rest for a while, and arrange it after a year."

Jia Mu then asked, "If you're going to another place, can your wife still go with you?"

Mrs. Jiang waved her hands and said with a smile: "I won't go, I'm old and old, I can't afford it anymore, I'm still a good-looking brother at home. But last time I went to the palace, I heard what the empress dowager wanted, so I probably won't go again this time." Now that the place is up, those good positions should be given to young people." Then he said to the concubine: "The last time I entered the palace, I happened to meet Princess He Ning, and she became even more beautiful."

Niu Fu asked, "Why don't you see Princess Hening?"

Grand Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager rewarded her with some things. I asked her to enter the palace early this morning to thank her. She will be back soon." Princess He Ning is the old daughter of Grand Concubine Nan'an. Shi Shu, who was born with bright and colorful photos, is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and even the empress in the palace likes it very much.

Mrs. Jiang asked with a smile: "I remember that the Princess is eighteen this year, but is it home?"

Concubine Nan'an said: "Not yet, this child has been spoiled by her elder brother, her vision is very high, this family doesn't like it, and that family doesn't like it, but I'm really worried."

Jia Mu laughed and said: "I'm afraid there are too many people coming to propose marriage, so I'm too picky. It's better to ask the nobles in the palace to help me out." This is what it means to ask the palace empress to grant marriage.

Concubine Nan'an smiled and said, "That's exactly what you mean."

While talking, he replied: "The princess is back, come to greet you and all the wives."

Concubine Nan'an hurriedly let her come in, and saw a woman wearing a red feather satin cloak and a moon-white cloud-patterned dress wearing flowers and brushing the willows, greeted everyone with a smile, and looked at her in high spirits, shining brightly.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Jiang and others who hadn't seen each other for many years were all surprised and praised repeatedly, but Wang Zixuan only glanced at it lightly and sighed silently in her heart. This princess will change the fate of Tanchun's life, and she can't change it in her previous life. , this life is estimated to be powerless.

Concubine Nan'an took her to sit down and introduced Tanchun to her, "This is the third girl from the old Madam Jun's family. She looks so dignified. Wherever she looks like, she knows how to play around crazy."

The princess smiled at Tanchun, "What a pretty sister, she looks a bit like my second brother."

Baoyu came to the Nan'an Palace every day, so he had met the princess. Hearing this, Tanchun laughed and said, "The princess is overwhelmed."

Princess Hening smiled and asked Xiangyun again, "When is the wedding date set? Why don't you embroider the dowry at home."

Although Xiang Yun was familiar with He Ning, he couldn't help but blush, and said: "It's scheduled for May next year, and the dowry is almost ready." Although Shi Hou treated her badly, he still managed to save face. The dowry is not too thin.

Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "Look, what are you doing here? Why don't you take these two younger sisters for a stroll, just don't go outside, just walk around in the back garden."

Princess Hening smiled and agreed, and took Tanchun and Xiangyun to say goodbye to the husbands, and went to play elsewhere.

Everyone was chatting while watching the play, when they suddenly heard the chatter and laughter of some young people in the distance, the girl next to Concubine Nan'an went over to take a look, and came back and said: "It's the young masters who came to greet the ladies. "

Concubine Nan'an laughed and blamed: "It's still so reckless. Fortunately, He Ning took the two girls out to play, otherwise it would be too late to avoid it."

While speaking, several youths in fine clothes came forward to salute the crowd, and Baoyu was among them, appearing very respectful and decent.

Standing at the front, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy wearing autumn-colored arrow sleeves is obviously the son of Nan'an, with a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance.

Concubine Nan'an smiled and asked the eldest son, "Have you met my little aunt?"

Shizi rolled his eyes, "I never met, where did little aunt go?"

Concubine Nan'an laughed

"It's just a stroll around the house," he asked again, "Are you hungry? Do you want a snack?"

The prince nodded hurriedly, and a little girl put two plates of exquisite snacks in front of him. While eating, he still remembered his concubine brothers and Baoyu, and turned around and said, "You guys eat too."

Concubine Nan'an asked another seat to be seated.After eating some snacks, we went forward again.

After a while, when the wind blew up, Concubine Nan'an invited everyone into the house to drink tea, and everyone had to follow them to drink tea in the flower hall. After chatting for a long time, Princess He Ning came back with Tanchun and Xiangyun. Seeing that it was getting late, they got up one after another to say goodbye.

In the following one or two months, the Nan'an Palace often sent them, either to deliver some exquisite food to Jiamu, Wang Zixuan, etc., or to send some pearls and hairpins to the sisters.Among them, Tanchun's share is different, everyone has seen the meaning of Nan'an Palace, so there is no jealousy, only congratulations.

Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan were also very happy. Jia Huan even went out to inquire about the properties of the concubines of King Nan'an, and came back to tell her sister.

Tanchun just said angrily: "It's something that hasn't been seen yet, don't just make it public like this, let the master and wife know, it's easy to talk about it again."

Jia Huan laughed and said, "It's just a matter of inquiring quietly, but neither of those two have official positions."

Tanchun snorted and said: "It's just that they are all dudes. You can't read literature, and you can't use martial arts. They are pointing at the family property left by their ancestors to dawdle. It's not that the princess crawled out of the stomach. They are all worse than the princes." It’s useful, but don’t be like them, do you hear me?”

Jia Huan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Sister said, it seems like I have seen them before."

Tanchun's eyes flashed, "How could I have seen it, I just heard what He Baoyu told me, and I guessed it myself."

In the early morning of this day, Nan'an Palace sent some Doroni horses as tribute from foreign countries. Mother Jia asked Sister Feng to accept them, and after a few words with the nuns who came to deliver the things, she sent her back.

Mother Jia called Wang Zixuan into the room to talk, and said: "It seems that the concubine wants to tell the third girl to her elder brother. I heard that the mother who delivered the things praised his elder brother both inside and out."

Wang Zixuan said: "It looks like an honest child." The eldest son of King Nan'an was born to a side concubine, and he was cowardly. Because Tanchun was going to marry in the previous life, so she met a few times and learned a lot.Although Tanchun married into the palace, although it looks beautiful, it is actually no different from marrying into an ordinary family. The whole family of the palace alone is enough for her, and she has no ability to promote Jia Huan.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then the matter is settled. Just don't feel wronged when the dowry comes."

Wang Zixuan said: "That's natural. If it's possible, the daughter-in-law wants to set the wedding date next year, and once the second girl gets married, she will do it for the third girl."

Jia Mu asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not up to you to do this."

Wang Zixuan said: "Second brother said that the frontier is not peaceful recently, I am afraid there will be a war, and everyone will be worried at that time, there is no one to care about getting married, it is better to do it early, you can rest assured."

Mother Jia was shocked, "Is this really the case? Why didn't you hear what Master and Lan'er said?"

"The master is from the Ministry of Industry, so the news is naturally not very well-informed," Wang Zixuan said with a smile: "Lan'er thinks she knows, but she didn't say anything because she was afraid that the family would be worried, and the second brother just didn't intend to mention it."

Jia Mu thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, the marriage should be done quickly. There are two Yu'er's, so let's do it together next year."

The frontier war was also made by Wang Zixuan based on her past life memories, but she was just afraid that Tanchun's marriage would cause complications. Unexpectedly, Jia Mu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "That's not a hurry, my niece lives with us. What else could go wrong in the middle? Besides, they are all crowded together, not to mention the family's money turnover, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence."

Jia Mu nodded with a smile and said, "It's true that I've been at ease for too long. When I heard that there was going to be a war, I got a little impatient." Talking about Tanchun's marriage, "but how can we talk about this matter? If it seems too urgent , It makes people say that they are anxious to climb high branches."

Wang Zixuan said: "There will be news from the frontier in a few days, let's just tell the truth, presumably the palace will agree."

Before the words fell, Baoyu suddenly came in with his head. When Jia Mu saw it, she laughed and scolded: "What are you doing with your head, don't come in quickly."

Baoyu then came in and smiled and said, "I don't dare to disturb my ancestors when they talk to their mothers."

Wang Zixuan asked: "If you don't go back to rest so late, why come here to sit?"

Baoyu said: "There is an important matter here. It concerns the third sister. I want to talk to my ancestors and mother."

After hearing this, Jia Mu and Wang Zixuan hurriedly asked what was the matter?

Baoyu said: "Today, my son told me quietly that he has taken a fancy to the third sister and wants to take her as a side concubine..."

The author has something to say: Wang Zixuan has complicated feelings about Tanchun's marriage~
