After the Jiji banquet in Hou's mansion, Yan Zhao rested at Xiao's house for a few days and didn't go out much.

In just a few days, the eldest aunt Fan has searched for many candidates, and even made a list, so you can look at them one by one.

Before Yan Zhao's mother Xiao Mingjin said anything, Mrs. Xiao picked out a lot of thorns. For example, this is a concubine, and after marrying, he has to provide for the aunt's biological mother and two mothers-in-law. Another example is that if you marry in the past, you don’t need to be filial to your in-laws, but if both parents die, you may be forced to restrain your relatives. Another example is that the youngest son in the family cannot inherit the title. Wait.

I always wish could be perfect, just as wish.

Yan Zhao looked at the dignified and good-looking face of his eldest aunt, Fan Shi, who could hardly keep up. In all fairness, she may have put more effort into her niece's marriage than she did to Xiao Qingyue, a concubine. Fortunately, another incident in Beijing temporarily diverted Mrs. Xiao's attention, and also allowed the hard-working aunt to breathe a sigh of relief.

That is the Royal Spring Hunt.

When Yan Zhao came to Capital City with his mother, it was early spring and March, when the peach blossoms were just blooming, and it was just in time for spring hunting.

The Royal Spring Hunt, nicknamed the event, is held in the Royal Hunting Ground. It lasts for a period of ten days. The emperor and even the harem concubines, princes and princesses will attend. In addition, most of the people who can go are important ministers in the court, relatives of the emperor, and families of famous princes. Thousands of gold and noble daughters.

Even the Xiao family may not be able to receive the invitation, Xiao Qingyue is a concubine, and Xiao Jingxuan has to concentrate on studying behind closed doors, Fan's naturally will not bother about it.

However, due to the in-law relationship between the Xiao family and the Hou Mansion, it is also possible to pass by as Lu Yan's cousin.To put it bluntly, it is a relationship with Marquis JinYuan Residence, so that you can participate in this kind of royal-level outdoor banquet.

Mrs. Xiao wants her granddaughter to attend these banquets more, so that she can find some more outstanding young talents, so that she can stay in Capital City in the future.

But no one expected that Princess Yong Yang's post on Spring Hunting was still named for Yan Zhao.

Fan was a little surprised, but also happy for his niece, "It seems that the princess likes you very much."

Although they also heard afterwards that Princess Yong Yang was close to Yan Zhao at the banquet in the Hou Mansion and talked for a long time, but Fan and Mrs. Xiao didn't feel at ease, they only thought that the princess had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and was curious about the Jiang Nan style.

But looking at it now, I am afraid that Yan Zhao really fell into the eyes of Princess Yong Yang.

Mrs. Xiao even said with a smile: "Our Ah Zhao is good at everything, even the princess likes it."

Hearing this, Yan Zhao blushed a little.She really doesn't think she is gold, everyone loves her.Besides, the pampered princess doesn't necessarily like gold.Another guess appeared in her mind, the person who actually sent this post was probably Si Tuzhou.

Whether it's true or not, Princess Yong Yang's post is always nice to hear.

Yan Zhao guessed right, the royal spring hunting post was sent by Si Tuzhou under the guise of Princess Yong Yang.

Because of the hibiscus hair ornament she saw that day, Princess Yong Yang had already guessed about the relationship between Sixth Brother and this girl Yan, and this time she was undoubtedly more certain.

"Sixth Brother likes that Miss Yan?" Yong Yang asked straightforwardly without turning a corner.

Si Tuzhou smiled slightly, although he didn't say anything, it was almost a tacit agreement,

Princess Yong Yang is very curious about how Sixth Brother and Miss Yan met, but unfortunately nothing can be found out from Sixth Brother.

She never thought that Miss Yan seduced Sixth Brother by means, not because Yong Yang was innocent, but because she trusted Sixth Brother's eyes, it must be good that Sixth Brother liked it.

Moreover, Sixth Brother treated her well and taught her how to get more attention and love from her father when she was young. There are a lot of princes and princesses in the palace, even if the biological mother is a noble concubine, it is not easy to stand out.

Si Tuzhou often followed Jianming Emperor's personality preference and asked Yong Yang to increase his favorability.

It can be said that Yong Yang can become Emperor Jianming's favorite princess, and Si Tuzhou is definitely responsible for most of the credit.

He is a prince, there is no need to be too high-profile to become the target of public criticism, no matter what, he will not mess up too badly, but Yong Yang is a princess, so he is inherently weak, and more pampering from his father will make her life in the harem easier. Well, in the future, the remuneration for choosing a consort when going out of the palace to build a mansion will be more generous.

For example, the eldest princess who was the first person in the clan, for the sake of the first emperor, it is impossible for the emperor to treat him lightly, lest others say that he treats his brothers coldly and ruthlessly, while the other eldest princesses born from concubines are unknown for many years. up.

Even though Yong Yang didn't understand it when she was a child, when she grows up, she also understands how kind Sixth Brother is to her.

Si Tuzhou patted his younger sister's head, "Then for this spring hunt, please Yong Yang take care of that girl Yan."

Yong Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I can still do this little thing."

She snorted again, "Third brother thought you were going after the daughter of Marquis Jingyuan. I think he has more thoughts on his own."

Although he is a compatriot with the same mother, Yong Yang really can't like this third elder brother who has always been arrogant and domineering. Even her younger sister, who is the most favored by his father, would have a few words of dissatisfaction in private.The sixth brother just went to Marquis JinYuan Residence to attend a banquet, so he ran to the mother concubine to talk right and wrong, not frank at all, and even provoked the concubine mother to call the sixth brother to inquire about the matter.

Si Tuzhou couldn't deny it. To his mother and concubine, he naturally showed that he had no intention of doing so. It's just that the third brother's thoughts are also clear at a glance.

The princes in the small palace are fighting for the favor, but when they grow up, they are ambitious for that position, and they can't tolerate others even more.

The sky is as clear as blue, and new grass sprouts in early spring, a green hunting ground.

Lu Yan had heard before that Yan Zhao had received a post from Princess Yong Yang, and she was a little surprised.

She also wondered where the girl from the Yan family got the favor of Princess Yong Yang.When we met again this time, while Lu Yan was talking about the rules and activities of the royal siege in the past, she couldn't help but look at Yan Zhao more.

If Lu Yan was just accidentally curious, then Xiao Qingyue was sour.

Although this matter is also good for her, she can come to participate in the spring hunting with Lu Yan, but the posts that are taken and sent are naturally different.

How could Yan Zhao, the daughter of a petty official and a wild girl from a remote village, be favored by the most favored Princess Yong Yang.

As for Xiao Qingyue's jealous gaze, Yan Zhao was already not used to seeing it, anyway, all the carriages came over this way.

In a luxurious bright yellow tent in the hunting ground, Mrs. Marquis JinYuan Xiao Mingyun was chatting with the eldest princess,

The eldest princess talked about the Hou Mansion and the banquet that day. The attendance of several princes and princesses not only gave the Hou Mansion great face, but also made it a hot topic in Capital City afterwards.Even the Eldest Princess couldn't help but think about it, in terms of family background, status and education, Lu Yan is definitely qualified to be a prince and concubine, it just depends on which one she chooses.

"Actually, the sixth prince is gentle and elegant, and he hasn't had any concubines these years, so he is a good match." As the elder of the clan, the eldest princess is more familiar with these princes.

In the matter of female sex, the sixth prince is indeed a rare person in the royal family who is clean and self-sufficient. Most princes will arrange people to serve them after they are fourteen or five years old.I heard that Concubine Shu also made an arrangement, but was rejected by the sixth prince.

If her poor daughter was still alive, she would be happy to have such a son-in-law.

The Eldest Princess frowned slightly and said: "As for the fifth prince's temper, I heard earlier that he wanted to marry the Wen family. Although Mrs. Wen passed away many years ago, the Wen family is still there."

It is said that a woman does not marry twice, and men are the same. Even a prince cannot eat from a bowl and look at what is in a pot. The Eldest Princess has long regarded Lu Yan as her own daughter, so she specially reminded Xiao Mingyun.

After that day, Xiao Mingyun also discussed with Lord Hou for a long time, but finally decided that he did not want to get involved in the matter of the Royal Seizing the Inheritance.

And this is not what His Majesty would like to see. The reason why His Majesty refuted the first prince's request to marry Lu Heng and Rong'an County Lord was because he didn't want Marquis JinYuan Residence to get too close to the First Prince.

Even if the eldest prince is the most mediocre among all the princes, and his biological mother is just a palace maid who died young, with a shallow foundation and a mediocre love, the chance of becoming a crown prince is slim, and His Majesty will not allow him to marry an important minister he trusts.

Lord Hou also said that the position of the Hou Mansion can only be stabilized if he is loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly.

So Xiao Mingyun knew that the Eldest Princess had good intentions, but she still shook her head and said with a slight smile, "Master Hou loves Yan'er the most, and wants to stay for a few more years and not mention the marriage for now."

The eldest princess also heard her concerns, and said nothing more.

Although this sixth son looks good, there is still a third prince in front of him. It seems that Concubine Shu and Chang Guogong are betting on the third prince with all their strength, but who knows if the sixth son has that kind of thought, or if Lu Yan is really marriedHe has ambition without ambition.

As the princes grew up one by one, the situation in Beijing became more and more complicated.At that time, because the first emperor's mother did not give birth to a son-in-law, the princes competed for the reserve position, and there was a bloody storm, and the qualifications of the princes of this generation are not bad, and it is estimated that they are not much better.

After the maid reported that the ladies had come, the two stopped talking.
