"Mother concubine?" The second prince Jiang Yucong looked at Concubine Xie in confusion.洳
Since his hair was tied and crowned, his mother and concubine rarely left him alone to talk. Especially after his father ascended the throne and the whole family went to live in the palace, her mother and concubine rarely left him alone, even if he stayed at dawn and dusk every day, rain or shine.
Therefore, Jiang Yucong was very surprised when he heard that his mother-in-law asked him to sit down and talk.
"I heard that the third child is having an affair with the girl from the Sheng family in the palace?" Concubine Xie looked at the proud son in front of her and asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Yucong couldn't help but laugh and said: "The third brother is a young man named Mu Ai. He is a little obsessed with the girl he fell in love with at first sight, but the girl's biological father's rank is a bit low and he is not enough to be a prince's concubine."
Concubine Xie looked at her son, who looked like a humble gentleman, and reminded him in a low voice: "I heard that the reason why that girl from the Sheng family was able to stay in the palace and be raised by the concubine was because of something special. The third child and An The imperial concubine doesn’t look much like her, I’m afraid she has other plans.”
Jiang Yucong smiled: "Children should abide by the orders of their parents and the advice of their matchmakers when it comes to marriage. Who can comment on the bad behavior of brothers? Everything depends on the arrangement of the father. As for other things... A gentleman should restrain himself and return to etiquette. He should be cautious about being alone, and his son should take care of it. It’s not easy to take good care of yourself. What’s left is to be friendly to your brothers and sisters and be filial to your elders.”
After hearing this, Concubine Xie couldn't help but take a closer look at her grown-up son. The child's eyebrows were bright and broad, his dark eyes glowed with a warm luster, and his handsome face showed an air of elegance, as if he was obsessed with everything. They have everything in mind, yet they seem to not care about anything at all.洳
"You have an idea. You don't need me, my mother-in-law, to nag you. No matter who can get a glimpse of the future, if you have a glimpse, it means there is a destiny. Everything in the past may not be able to be counted. That destiny When things happen, there will be more variables, so you can know them, but you can't be bound by them. You should strive for your own future."
Jiang Yucong's eyes flashed, and he nodded in response with a smile.
Concubine Xie nodded and talked about the upcoming draft: "Originally, your father should have married you as a concubine before he ascended the throne, but it was only delayed because of the late emperor's success... Your father wanted to marry you two years ago. Take advantage of the general election to choose a good concubine for your brother."
Jiang Yucong nodded when he heard the words and listened quietly.
"Neither my concubine nor your father are arbitrary people. If you have a sweetheart, if it is suitable, just tell them so as to avoid making the wrong choice."
Hearing this, Jiang Yucong pursed her lips.
Concubine Xie said with a smile: "You used to have Xie as your surname, and you studied with a great Confucian scholar in the Imperial College. In every scientific examination, you and the eldest daughter of Yongxing Marquis were the winners and losers. Although they were polite to each other every time they met. You look well-dressed and elegant, but I heard from your cousin that every time you two meet, there is a hidden edge beneath your elegant words... If you two really get along day and night, I'm afraid it won't be long before you master the true skills of a messenger. ."
Jiang Yucong didn't realize that his mother-in-law meant him, and his attention was focused on the person his father had chosen.
"Didn't I say it was impossible before?!" Jiang Yucong held back her excitement and did not show it.
"If I had given you a wife at that time, the lady who was involved in the scandal at that time would indeed not have been the prince's concubine. It was not her fault, but the prince could not have been involved in a scandal related to his reputation, even if she was innocent."
Jiang Yucong couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl who looked steady but was actually eloquent.
When Concubine Xie saw this, she asked him, "If you were discussing the matter and not being fair, why were you so indifferent at that time? It shows that you are also a person with a temperament!" "
Hearing this comment from the temperamental man, Jiang Yucong suddenly felt ashamed and couldn't help but reflect on himself.
"Hearing with the ears may be false, but seeing with the eyes may not be true. As a person, you should see more, listen more, and think more. Don't let closeness or distance affect your judgment."
Concubine Xie stopped talking and continued talking about the draft: "If you don't object, we, mother and son, will let your father arrange the prince's concubine, but I want to tell you, Yongxing Hou is very different from others.
Your imperial grandmother loves him as if she were her own son, and your imperial father regards him as his own brother or sister. Therefore, if you want to marry his daughter as your imperial concubine, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry a side concubine at the same time. "
"I don't care whether I have a side concubine or not. It's a pity that I have suffered so much for my third and fourth brothers. For the sake of our brothers' harmony, my father doesn't want the outside world to speculate that I have fallen out of love with my father. They
This time, like my son, I will only marry the first wife. "
"The election only happens once every three to five years. It's okay to make up for it in the next draft." Concubine Xie felt that it didn't matter. Based on her understanding of Concubine An and Concubine Cheng, they were not dissatisfied.
Jiang Yucong paused and didn't talk much about the next draft. He just listened attentively.
Concubine Xie realized that she had said everything to her son, and she let him go on his own.
Walking out of Yilan Palace, Jiang Yucong's pace gradually quickened, and he didn't stop until two shadows flashed in front of his eyes.洳
The main reason is that he rarely sees such a flexible and round figure.
"Are they the youngest daughter of the Yongxing Hou family and brother Yu again?" Jiang Yucong looked at the two teenagers chasing the little falcon not far away, and was a little confused.
"If you like running so much, why can't you go to the racecourse in front?" Jiang Yucong, who was already standing in Zhongyuan, was a little confused about the two children's thinking.
Fortunately, a sister is a sister and a sister is a sister.
People who compete with him in a battle of wits and sharp words are not so childish.
"Second cousin!" Just as Jiang Yucong was secretly rejoicing, a voice filled with joy came from her ears.
Jiang Yucong hurriedly looked at the waiter: Why didn't you remind me? !洳
The chamberlain lowered his head with a dull face: his eyes were almost cramping!
"Second cousin!" Anyu ran over and excitedly circled Jiang Yucong twice, "I haven't seen you for a long time! My uncle said you were studying with a great scholar! Don't let me make trouble for you! But you still owe me Three palace hunts! When are you going to cash it in?"
"..." Jiang Yucong has never seen anyone other than this kid get into debt after not seeing him for a long time!
Even if he is good at words, this kid's shamelessness will disturb his thoughts.
"If I remember correctly, didn't you ground Concubine An?" Jiang Yucong felt that the third brother must like this proposal.
"The grounding?" Anyu hesitated and thought about it, thinking that he remembered correctly, and shook his head firmly, "The previous grounding has been lifted, and now I am free!"
"Haha, really?" Jiang Yucong felt that arrangements might be made soon.洳
Just as he was about to say a few strange words, Jiang Yucong hesitated.
For one thing, this kid has never been able to understand his meaning, which made him a little frustrated.
Secondly, the little girl next to him who had just silently saluted was looking at him curiously.
It is said that Sheng An's sister is very talkative, and it would be bad if she imitates her.
"Ahem, okay, after I finish the assessment arranged by the teacher, I will take you out to play."
