The fifth year of Shuning, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month
The people in Qingzhou City set off firecrackers and hung up lanterns early. The streets were also very lively, and the prefect's mansion was also preparing for the Lantern Festival.
"I can go out for a walk with you today." Xiao Yu and Chen Xinyu were eating Yuanxiao in the room.
"This is the first time I'm not at home for the holidays, and I miss my father and mother a little bit." Chen Xinyu put the bowl aside after finishing the meal.
Xiao Ming came in and took the bowl away.
"It's okay, your eldest and second brothers will be with me and you," Xiao Yu said.
Chen Xinyu smiled, "We will spend time with my father and mother next year."
Xiao Yu held her hand and smiled: "Yes, we will spend it together next year."
The two prepared for a while and left with Ningshu and Xiaoming.
At this time, in the Lingjing Palace, Chen Lexin was walking on the way to the imperial study in court clothes, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
"Your Majesty, sir." Chen Lexin had just finished speaking and was about to kneel down. Emperor Shun Ning came over to help him up, "Hey, hey, Chen Aiqing, there is no need to be polite. Don't let the cold underground hurt your health."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Serve Mr. Chen some tea and warm yourself up." Emperor Shunning shouted outside and then looked at Chen Lexin with a smile, "Mr. Chen, sit down."
Chen Lexin accepted the tea and declined, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea. I will just stand here." She couldn't tell what Emperor Shuning was thinking.
Emperor Shunning raised his eyebrows and did not force it. He walked back and sat down, "I heard that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, your daughter and my brother, King Yan, went to the palace and met Concubine Su's mother. When they came back, they held hands together. Get started."
Chen Lexin's expression changed and she put down the teacup, "Your Majesty, my daughter is still young and doesn't understand the rules. I will reprimand her when she returns to the capital."
"Hey, what Chen Aiqing said is wrong. How can you reprimand Chen Aiqing for being a talented man and a good-looking woman?" Emperor Shunning smiled and looked at Chen Lexin, "And when King Yan was injured in Qingzhou, your wife took good care of her. It's really a blessing for my younger brother."
Chen Lexin understood that His Majesty wanted to grant a marriage.
Chen Lexin still wanted to refuse, but Emperor Shunning said first: "Let me see, let's give them a marriage. King Yan is already a grown man. The late emperor asked me to give him a good marriage. Now the late emperor also knows. "
Chen Lexin was about to speak, but Emperor Shunning didn't give him a chance. "Come here, let Zhongshu Sheng draft an edict to grant the title of Princess Chen Xinyuyan, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. The war is imminent, and the wedding date will be determined after the war."
"Does Chen Aiqing have any objections?" Emperor Shunning continued.
Chen Lexin could only kneel down to receive the order, "I thank the Emperor for his kindness."
Emperor Shun Ning smiled and waved his hand, and Chen Lexin reluctantly exited the imperial study.
"Prince Yan wrote a letter yesterday, asking me to grant him a marriage." Emperor Shunning's expression changed.
Zhao Xin said from the side: "But Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs after all. King Yan still has the right to order the border troops..."
Emperor Shunning smiled after hearing this, "Oh, no more now. I asked him to return to Beijing to recuperate, but once the war breaks out, I will send King Yan to command Luoyang. The war is imminent. My younger brother must not have second thoughts. Besides, the wedding date It’s undecided, who knows what will happen once a war starts?”
After hearing this, Zhao Xin did not dare to speak.
At this time, Chen Xinyu and Xiao Yu were happily walking around Qingzhou City. Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Ming with so many things in her hands and looked at Ning Shu in confusion.
Do you women go shopping like this?
Ning Shu looked at Xiao Yu's eyes and told Xiao Yu with her eyes, I didn't know I was not a woman.
…
Xiao Yu stepped forward and took Chen Xinyu's hand: "Buy so many things?"
Chen Xinyu held Xiao Yu's hand and waved it, "This is a gift I bought for my parents, eldest brother and second brother."
"Do you have mine?" Xiao Yu asked expectantly.
Chen Xinyu looked at Xiao Yu and smiled and said, "Of course I have it. I'll give it to you in the evening when I get home. I can't tell you now."
Xiao Yu nodded with a little anticipation.
When the two returned to the house, Xiao Yunli was stunned. Buying so many things?
Xiao Yu looked into Xiao Yunli's eyes and said, "This is a gift Xinyu bought for her relatives."
Xiao Yunli nodded in confusion, "What about yours?"
Xiao Yu raised his head proudly and said, "Yes, but keep it secret."
Chen Xinyu was embarrassed and speechless.
"Your Highness, we take leave." After saluting, Xiao Yu led Chen Xinyu in.
Chen Xinyu looked at Xiao Yunli with a smile, feeling very embarrassed.
Xiao Yunli:...
"Uncle Wu is really acting now, hehehe." Xiao Yunli looked at Ningshu.
Ningshu also saluted, "Your Highness, I also take my leave."
Xiao Yunli now felt lonely and sad.
At night in the prefect's mansion, King Yan, the prince, two ministers, and prefect Wang were sitting at the same table. Chen Xinyu, Mrs. Wang, Xiao Ming, and Ningshu were sitting at the same table.
Xiao Yu couldn't drink, so he ate some food, exchanged a few words and then returned to the room. Chen Xinyu also came to the room.
"I'll come in to accompany you when I'm full." Chen Xinyu said with a smile.
After that, he sat down.
Xiao Yu was full of expectations and wanted to see what the gift was.
Chen Xinyu took it out with a smile, "I bought a pair of hairpins. Although the price is not high, these hairpins are very beautiful. We each have one. And this is the first time I give you a gift. You have to accept it well." On."
Xiao Yu looked at the pair of hostas and was filled with joy, "I will keep them carefully. Tomorrow we will take the lead and return to Beijing together."
Chen Xinyu smiled and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
