Empress Changsun smiled and walked to sit next to Changle and Princess Yuzhang and said:
"What are you talking about again? Tell me what you want to tell my mother."
Princess Yuzhang has a lively temperament. When she heard the Queen Mother's question, she smiled and said to Queen Changsun:
"Mother, my son and the fifth sister are talking about last night's fireworks. By the way, mother, will the fireworks continue to be set off in the palace tonight?"
After hearing this, Empress Changsun smiled and said to the two of them:
"There will be no fireworks tonight. Your father's intention is to wait until the banquet in the palace is over on the 30th day before setting off any fireworks."
The two women were a little disappointed when they heard this. After all, the fireworks were so beautiful and they wanted to see more.
Seeing the disappointed eyes of the two girls, the eldest grandson thought for a moment and then said:
"Let's do this. It's up to the Queen Mother to set off a firework after dinner today. After watching it, you can go back to sleep."
When the two women heard this, their eyes lit up, and then they smiled and said to Queen Changsun:
"The queen is wise."
The eldest grandson couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Chang Le also had a smile on his face. Changsun hesitated for a moment, stood up and said:
"Li Zhi, please come with your mother. My mother has something to tell you."
Princess Changle was a little confused when she heard this, but she quickly followed her eldest grandson to the back hall.
Princess Changle didn't know why her mother had called her here alone, so she lowered her head and asked:
"Mother, please ask your son to come here alone. What are your instructions?"
Queen Changsun walked to Princess Changle, took her hand and sighed:
"Hey, Li Zhi, my mother didn't think carefully about the last engagement. If you have any resentment in your heart, just blame your mother. Don't blame your father. He loves you the most."
Princess Changle's nose felt sore after hearing this. She didn't know why she felt particularly aggrieved at this time, but she quickly recovered her mood and replied:
"My son, I know that my father, the queen, and my queen are all for my good, and I don't blame my mother or my father in my heart."
Queen Changsun felt a pang in her heart when she saw Changle shrinking her nose.
She pulled Princess Changle to sit on the couch and said softly:
"Just understand. My father and mother will not harm you. If it weren't for that rumor, Chong'er would be a very good husband."
Princess Changle lowered her head and said:
"I know that my cousin and uncle have been very good to me since I was a child."
Queen Changsun felt that the foreshadowing was almost complete, so she continued:
"Well, your grandpa has been very fond of you since you were a child. He knew that your engagement with Chong'er was terminated, so he scolded both the queen mother and your father."
Li Lizhi heard this and said:
"My daughter is unfilial and has allowed my father and mother to be blamed for this because of me."
After hearing this, Queen Changsun stroked Princess Changle's forehead, then sighed and said:
"It's okay for your mother and your father to be reprimanded. It's just that your emperor is afraid that you will be wronged again, so he specially arranged a marriage for you."
Li Lizhi was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Empress Changsun in disbelief. When she saw Changsun nodding, she took a deep breath. Although she had been mentally prepared, she knew that her father, the Queen, and her mother would be engaged to her again. , but she never expected that it would be so soon, and that this time her engagement would actually be made by the Emperor.
She was silent for a while, and then asked hesitantly:
"Mother, can you tell me which family the son is from?"
After hearing this, Empress Changsun shook her head and said:
"Your grandpa only said that the other party is a young hero, but did not specify whose son he was."
Princess Changle nodded calmly when she heard this.
.....
A few moments
Princess Changle returned to the Lizheng Hall. Seeing the lost look of the fifth sister, Princess Yuzhang hurriedly stepped forward and took Princess Changle's hand, asking eagerly:
"Fifth sister, what happened?"
Li Lizhi reluctantly smiled at Princess Yuzhang and said:
"It's nothing. Grandpa Huang just pointed out a marriage to Fifth Sister."
Princess Yuzhang's face turned bitter when she heard this, she lowered her head and whispered:
"Fifth sister, I'm sorry. It's all Xiyao's fault."
Hearing this, Princess Changle smiled and patted Princess Yuzhang's hand and said:
"Silly girl, why do you blame yourself? This matter has nothing to do with you."
Princess Yuzhang said in a low voice with a bitter face:
"If it weren't for the fact that Qin Ming and I had an engagement, Fifth Sister, you could have expressed your feelings to your father, the emperor, and your mother. Maybe, your father and mother would agree to let you marry Qin Ming's brother."
Princess Yuzhang said this, not that she didn't want to marry Qin Ming, but she knew a long time ago that the fifth sister liked Qin Ming, and she had only met Qin Ming once, and she couldn't say how much she liked him.
Ever since she got the marriage certificate, she always felt like she had stolen her sister's husband.
Princess Changle was in a trance after hearing this. Looking at Princess Yuzhang's guilty eyes, she smiled and put Yuzhang into her arms and said:
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense like this in the future. Brother Qin Ming is a very good person. You are very happy to marry him."
At this moment, a soft voice said next to the two of them:
"Fifth sister is right, Sizi, when he grows up, he will marry brother Qin Ming."
Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang lowered their heads when they heard the words, and then they saw Sizi holding a piece of pea yellow in his hand, looking up at them with his big watery eyes.
The two women couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this scene, and then they both laughed.
Little Sizi didn't know why her two sisters were laughing at her. She took a bite of pea yellow, turned around a little arrogantly, and whispered in a low voice:
"Sister is bad and ignores you."
Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang saw that Sizi seemed angry and hurriedly chased after him. For a girl like Sizi, the two of them usually like her.
Seeing Si Zi leave, he was a little worried that she would be angry with him, so he hurried over to apologize.
After a while, the laughter of the sisters sounded again in the Li Zheng Hall.
.....
At the end of the Youshi period, the Zheng Palace was established, and Princess Changle's sleeping palace was established.
After washing, Princess Changle was wearing pajamas and sitting in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, staring at the calligraphy and paintings in her hands.
In the dim candlelight
A drop of clear tears silently slid down her cheek, and finally fell on the calligraphy and painting in front of her.
