Beside the curtain, Grandma Wang raised her head.
She really didn't expect that the Holy Emperor came for the princess's marriage.
In her opinion, the princess is good in everything, good-looking, good-natured, sweet-tongued and good at getting things done.
Just being Shen Yun's daughter can indeed win the Empress Dowager's pity and protection. However, to be able to protect the Empress Dowager for more than ten years, it is not enough to rely on a fairy mother.
The princess must be in line with the Queen Mother's wishes.
The Holy Spirit must be clear about this.
What kind of good man is it that allows the Holy One to take the initiative to open this mouth?
Grandma Wang was very curious.
Beside the bed, the Holy Master smiled and said, "I can't hide my thoughts from you, Queen Mother. I do have some thoughts."
The Empress Dowager motioned to the Holy One to continue.
"Xu Jian is not young anymore. After the old Duke passed away, I am afraid no one will bother to think about marriage for him," the Holy Master said in a low voice, "I just want to arrange a marriage for him, which does not mean that Ning'an will be finalized. Let the two of you get to know each other first..."
Following the Holy Sage's words, the Empress Dowager's frown slightly relaxed.
This is not a question of whether the auxiliary is good or bad, but that the marriage needs to be done appropriately.
The expression "get to know each other" sounds more like a lie.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and asked: "Xu Jian is said to still have filial piety, right?"
The Holy One nodded.
The Xu family's grandparents and grandchildren are different from ordinary grandparents.
Xu Mang had no "son", and Xu Jian, as a great grandson, was supposed to observe mourning for three years, even if it was cut off, it would last for twenty-seven months.
But at that time, there was a lot of friction between the Border Pass and the Xiliang people. What Xu Mang couldn't let go of was the war situation at Yumen Pass before his death. Xu Jian proposed to go to the Border Pass after handling the funeral affairs.
Mo Liao joined the army, which has existed since ancient times. It was also said that "the events of the Jin Dynasty should not be avoided". Military generals only have mourning leave and no worries. The young man actively asked for military service in the court. These "old sayings" convinced the censors and they stood up one after another. When he came to Xu Jian's side, he praised him for his ambition and his ancestral inheritance.
Later, when he returned to Beijing after being injured, Xu Jian took the initiative to come to the imperial study and said several times that he should go home and observe mourning.
This time, the Holy Emperor reversed the situation. After all, the generals were not allowed to leave for mourning, and the civil servants were able to seize love and forced Xu Jian to stay in the court. In the end, it became the current situation where Xu Jian appeared in court and his whereabouts in the next court were undecided.
"In total, it has been almost two years since Mr. Xu passed away," the Empress Dowager sighed. "It is not too early for Xu Jian to start seeing each other now that they have discussed the matter of marriage."
"That's exactly the idea." His Majesty agreed.
The Queen Mother looked at the Holy One, thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Ai family knows that the Holy One feels sorry for Xu Jian, but why did he think of Yun Yan?"
The Holy One did not hide anything from the Empress Dowager, and roughly explained the matter.
"That kid Qinglue is a bit more talkative, but he's not making things up out of nothing," the Holy Master said. "Whether he is right or wrong, you will know at a glance when the time comes.
If you think you can try to get to know each other, I will bring Xu Jian to visit you next time.
If you think this is inappropriate, just pretend I didn't mention it. "
A shrewd light flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with the Holy Spirit's consideration, and it is also very thorough.
This is not only accurate advice from people around me like Eunuch Cao, but also because the Holy One can listen to it.
The Holy Emperor did not directly call Xu Jian to Cining Palace, but first communicated with her and discussed with her. She had already given herself and Ning'an respect in her actions. How could the Empress Dowager not even allow "getting to know each other" and refuse directly? Woolen cloth?
"The Ai family won't mention this matter to Yun Yan yet," the Empress Dowager said. "The character hasn't been written yet, so she doesn't need to take it to heart. We'll wait until the Ai family takes control.
However, the Ai family is just borrowing the Holy Spirit to get a place, and whether things happen or not is not up to the Ai family.
Firstly, Yun Yan had to make her own decision, and secondly, she had the advice of Uncle Chengyi. "
The Holy One hurriedly said: "You are right."
After the serious business was finished, the Holy Father asked Grandma Wang to set the table.
"Whatever mother uses, I will use," he said, "Just keep it simple."
It also saves the Empress Dowager, who always tastes delicious food, from looking at it with greed.
Grandma Wang agreed and went out to hand over the manpower.
In the corridor, she glanced towards the west side hall.
She had not said this in front of the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager before.
When the princess went back to the Zhu family to help, the princess should have met Duke Fu when she accompanied Miss Zhu to the front flower hall.
It's just that in that situation, it was probably just a face-to-face encounter. The understanding was an understanding, but it was just an understanding.
After lunch, the Holy Emperor returned to the imperial study to review the papers.
The Queen Mother made up her mind not to mention it to Lin Yunyan, and she really didn't say a word.
She couldn't play Ma Diao, and she couldn't sit still, so she just asked Lin Yunyan to play cards with her and talk about interesting things.
On the other hand, the prince seemed to be in a lot of hurry.
He is impatient and always thinks out of hand.
He was thinking about asking Liu Xun to go to Cining Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and even went hunting in the horse farm a little distracted.
In such a situation, there should be no harvest, but it can't stop the prey from running into the circle.
When the guards saw the deer stumbling over, they immediately dispersed and drove the deer towards His Royal Highness little by little.
Li Shao didn't waste much effort, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, only to hear the sharp arrow pierce the air, and the deer fell down at the sound.
"Okay, okay!" Li Shao's unexciting spirit suddenly became more energetic.
The guards and chamberlains who followed him all flattered him and praised His Highness for his abilities.
Li Shao was so excited that he jumped down from his horse, looked at the deer being carried by the guards, and said, "I've been wandering around in the forest for a few days. Let's go back to the palace now. I'll roast the deer meat for my father."
"His Royal Highness is filial, the Holy Emperor must be very happy."
"Your Highness is really good at it. Your Majesty heard it and is proud of His Highness."
Amidst the compliments, Li Shao returned to the imperial city with a happy face.
Taking a dagger, he took it upon himself to cut the deer's body into two parts under the guidance of the palace servants in the imperial dining room, then chopped off the lower back, and gave the muscular hind legs to the chamberlain.
"Send it to your second uncle," he explained, "just say it's my birthday gift to him."
The other half is treated in the same way, and this deer leg is of course holy.
The rest was left to the palace servants for cooking. Li Shao urged the chamberlain to clean the deer legs for paving. He found some firewood and found a dry place in the yard to set up a shelf. After the chamberlain had skewered the deer legs and brought them up, he carefully Watch the fire bake.
Li Shao is very good at these things and likes to think about them.
The surface is gradually getting cooked, and as you flip it back and forth, the leg meat becomes sizzling and oily, and the aroma is fragrant.
The chamberlains praised "Your Highness's excellent craftsmanship" again.
Li Shao said proudly: "Okay, okay, pick out the parts of the two big pieces of front body and send them to Cining Palace and Cuihua Palace, and you guys will divide the rest."
The servants thanked him happily.
Li Shao sat on the ladle, roasted the deer leg with great care, ordered two hands, and carried it all the way to the imperial study.
