Chapter 85：

The lively palace banquet did not end until the beginning of the sea.

Princess Jingyang and the owner of Qinghe County live in Yuming Hall. This is the place where Princess Jingyang lived before she got married. Emperor Zhaokang kept it for her over the years, and the furnishings inside were exactly the same as in previous years.

As for Mr. Xie, he is a foreigner and temporarily lives in the Xianliang Pavilion outside the palace.

Before parting, Tao Ti asked Qinghe to come to the East Palace to play with her.

Qinghe smiled softly and readily agreed.

At noon the next day, Ganlu Palace.

Queen Zhou ordered the palace staff to prepare good tea and cakes. Seeing that Pei Lingbi hadn't come, she wanted to call someone to urge her.

Before the palace man walked out the door, he heard a clinking sound, and saw Pei Lingbi, who was dressed up, arrived.

"Mother, is it okay for my daughter to dress like this?"

Pei Lingbi opened his hand and turned around behind Zhou Huang like a peacock.

Today, she is wearing a scarlet fairy dress with wide sleeves, with a slender waist and a ring of bells and bells. Wearing a spirit snake bun, wearing a set of ruby ​​head and face, the end is glamorous and compelling, Xian Yan is delicate and beautiful.

Queen Zhou squinted her eyes with a smile on her face, "Yes. Your aunt always likes beautiful clothes, especially bright colors. She must like you to dress up."

After receiving the compliment, Pei Lingbi's eyebrows were full of smiles, and her lips raised, "I started dressing up early in the morning. If she doesn't like it, it means she has no eyesight."

When the mother and daughter were seated, Pei Lingbi asked expectantly, "Mother, will Cousin Yunshi come later?"

Empress Zhou said, "He lives outside the palace, and he should not enter the palace today. I asked your emperor brother yesterday, let him take Yunshi to stroll around Chang'an City, and enjoy the friendship of a landlord."

"Oh, like this..." Pei Lingbi was a little lost, her mouth squashed, and she tore off her skirt.

Seeing her like this, Empress Zhou laughed and said, "I used to say that I wanted to marry him, but you were not happy to live or die. Why, I only met yesterday, so you changed your mind?"

Pei Lingbi's cheeks blushed and said, "The last time I saw my cousin Yunshi was six years ago. At that time, he was black and thin, like a monkey, so I definitely don't like it. I didn't expect that after six years, He...he turned out to be so handsome..."

Looking around, it is really difficult to find a second man in Chang'an City like Xie Yunshi, a handsome and noble man.

Queen Zhou gently curled her lips, thinking in her heart:

The government of Jin Dynasty guarded Longxi Prefecture, and the Duke of Jin was Xie Yunshi such a protagonist. When Duke Jin retired, Xie Yunshi would be the next head of Longxi Prefecture.

Leaving aside his life experience, Xie Yunshi's person, handsome, polite, and literary, Lingbi admires him, is simply the best choice for her husband.

The mother and daughter had their own thoughts. Not long after, the palace officials reported from outside the temple, "The princess Jingyang is here—"

Empress Zhou took Pei Lingbi and got up to greet her. Seeing Princess Jingyang in a rose-purple dress, she was full of energy, which showed that she had a good rest last night.

After seeing the ceremony, the three were seated.

Queen Zhou smiled and asked, "Jingyang, why didn't you see Qinghe?"

Princess Jingyang took a sip from the teacup and said lightly, "Qinghe went to the East Palace to play early in the morning."

Hearing the word "Eastern Palace", Empress Zhou's smile stiffened for a moment, and her thoughts flew around. Is she going to find the prince? Did Qinghe fall in love with the prince? This is not good.

The princess Jingyang glanced at the queen mother and daughter calmly, guessing their thoughts, put down the cup, and slowly explained, "I went to the Yaoguang Hall to look for the princess. This child was sitting with the princess last night. , The chat was quite congenial."

Go to the princess?

Pei Lingbi squeezed her fingers tightly, not worried, Qinghe has always been deserted, and doesn't like to take care of others. If you go to her and talk to her, she will only reply to ten sentences. Why did she only know Tao Ti one day, so she rushed to find Tao Ti to play?

This Tao Ti must be a ghost, what kind of magic!

Empress Zhou flashed her eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't look at the prince.

She smiled gently, "They are of the same age, plus the princess is a lively and interesting temperament, so it's good to play together."

Princess Jingyang smiled without saying a word.

Queen Zhou and Princess Jingyang chatted with her parents again, and when the conversation was almost done, she led the topic to the right path, "Listen to your Majesty, Jingyang, you brought Qinghe to Beijing this time, you want to show her a look at others. ?"

"The queen is well informed." The princess Jingyang raised her eyebrows, and she did not hide it. "Qinghe is already in time. It's time to find a husband's house. I have seen the right people in Longxi. Most of them are rough military generals. no suitable ones."

"Yes. Longxi is a martial artist, a vulgar martial artist, with brute strength, and a delicate girl made by Qing Heshui, how can she marry those people." Empress Zhou echoed, and asked, "Which one did you have in Chang'an? I often live in Longxi, and I may not be familiar with the situation in Chang'an. Tell me, so I can be your adviser?"

Princess Jingyang carelessly rubbed the gold agate bracelet in her hand, and said slowly, "It's not in a hurry. Anyway, I will stay in the palace for at least two months this time. During this time, I can choose slowly."

Queen Zhou smiled and said, "If you don't have a good candidate in your heart, I would like to recommend one."

Princess Jingyang raised her eyelids, "Oh?"

Queen Zhou said, "It is my maiden nephew, the third son of my brother's elder brother, Shao Hui. This child is seventeen this year, has a good appearance, is eight feet tall, has a good temperament, and knows how to martial arts. He has yet to marry a wife. As a servant, after two years of training, he will naturally have a future. Speaking of which, when he entered the palace three years ago, he had met Qinghe once."

When Queen Zhou brought the topic to Qinghe's marriage, the princess Jingyang guessed the intention. Now when she heard Queen Zhou say it, she didn't rush, and just nodded, "The queen's nephew, of course it's not bad. Yes, but—"

After a pause, she sighed faintly, "I have to explain one thing first... Well, you know the queen, Qinghe is born with deficiency symptoms. Taking medicine from snacks, colder will make you sick, and hotter ones will make you sick. Illness really broke my heart as a mother. The doctor said, Qinghe's body is weak, and if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, she is afraid of her life."

Both Queen Zhou and Pei Lingbi were surprised.

The princess Jingyang said sadly, "The atmosphere in Longxi is not good. A daughter-in-law must have a child or a boy. If she fails to give birth, she will be rejected by her in-laws. So I went back to Chang'an and wanted to give it to Qinghe. Pick a husband who knows the cold and heat, is gentle and considerate, has only her single-minded, and will not force her to have children..."

Empress Zhou was silent for a while, and asked carefully, "This single-mindedness means that there can be no concubines and rooms?"

Princess Jingyang did not hesitate to say, "Naturally."

Empress Zhou choked, her face was not visible, her heart slandered, your daughter is delicate, but an infertile, sick child, and her husband is not allowed to take a concubine. Doesn’t she want the man to cut off his sons and grandchildren?

It's not that a family with a face and a face can't find a good woman. A woman like your family's Qinghe, who will marry, who wants to marry?

Pei Lingbi thought so in her heart, but she wanted to sell well in front of Princess Jingyang, and smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, sister Qinghe is good-looking and has a good temperament, and she will definitely find a good man. "

Princess Jingyang raised her eyes and looked at Pei Lingbi, and saw that she was covered in brocades and jewels, and smiled, "Then borrow Lingbi's good words."

Pei Lingbi smiled shyly.

Empress Zhou was also entangled over there. She originally wanted to draw Longxi to their side through the marriage of her children and help Pei Changzhou ascend to the throne, but she never thought that this was the case for Qinghe.

If this is accepted, the brother-in-law and nephew might be unhappy. Alas, it seems that we still have to discuss this matter with my elder brother.

Qinghe couldn't get through here, so Queen Zhou took the opportunity to ask about Xie Yunshi's marriage.

The princess Jingyang caught a glimpse of Pei Lingbi's suddenly excited look, and guessed what the mother and daughter think, her smile on her face remained unchanged, and she only urged that Xie Yunshi was a son, and the marriage was not in a hurry.

Seeing that Queen Zhou still had to ask, she soothed, "If you can find a beautiful woman in Chang'an, it will be great. If you can't find it this time, you can pick it up again in Longxi."

Princess Jingyang is not in a hurry, but Pei Lingbi is in a hurry. It was so hard to have a favorite candidate for the horseman, and she didn't want to let it go.

Just when she almost blurted out "Aunt, what do you think of me?" Empress Zhou flew over at the right time, and Pei Lingbisheng held back the words, only biting her lip and bowing her head aggrievedly.

There are three women in Ganlu Palace, but Yaoguang Palace is in a different situation.

Tao Ti slept three poles in the day as usual before getting up, stretching her waist, and seeing Linglong walking over with a tangled expression, "Prince you are awake!"

Tao Ti was dumbfounded, "What's the matter?"

"The county lord of Qinghe has been sitting outside for almost two hours."

"???"

Tao Ti was startled, "Why don't you wake me up when she comes?"

Linglong said, "The county owner didn't let you call. She said that she came to Yaoguang Hall to disturb you, let alone disturb your sleep."

"That's not good for people to wait so long..." Tao Ti was not good at blaming Linglong, and got up from the bed numbly, "You help me freshen up."

Linglong hurriedly stepped forward to wait on her.

Tao Ti combed a simple short bun, fixed it with only a white jade hairpin, and wore a light-colored shirt with moon-white tracing gold flowers at random, with twelve Hunan skirts embroidered with plum blossoms in grass green. It was refreshing and neat. Homely.

She walked out quickly, and just walked out of the sleeping hall, she saw the county lord of Qinghe sitting under the big green tree in front of the court.

She wore a Tianshui bi-faced silk robe. She was thin and thin, with her hands folded on the stone table, her small head lying on her stomach, her dark eyes with a faint smile, looking at the lazy cat Yuanbao on the stone table. .

One person, one cat, lying on his stomach, quiet, beautiful and natural.

Tao Ti couldn't help but feel lighter, for fear of disturbing the picture.

Qinghe has good ears. As soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head and saw Tao Ti. She got up a little embarrassed, adjusted her dress and politely said, "Cousin, you are up."

Tao Ti also felt embarrassed, and slandered, "Yes, I'm more sleepy, and I always get up late..."

"I was abrupt." Qing He said.

"You came to see me...?" Tao Ti asked.

Qinghe's eyes were clear, "Yesterday my cousin said that I can come to you to play when I am free, I am free."

Tao Ti, "..."

She was a kind word, but she didn't expect this silly girl to take it seriously.

But it's okay, she really likes Qinghe, and it's a good thing to be a friend.

The two stood there for a while, you did not speak, I did not speak, relatively speechless.

After a moment of silence, Tao Ti opened his mouth first, "It's time for lunch now, well, what's your taste? What kind of food do you like? Are there any restrictions?"

Qinghe's long eyelashes moved slightly, and said softly, "I can't eat spicy food, others are okay. Cousin, don't worry about me too much, I don't eat much."

Tao Ti remembered that Qinghe had eaten a small bowl of rice and a few chopsticks last night. No wonder the little girl was so thin, and she felt like the wind blew, and said, "Okay, then I'll make you some light dishes."

Qinghe was stunned, and saw Tao Ti roll up his sleeves before he came back to his senses, "Cousin, are you going to cook by yourself? No, you are too polite, just let the dining room do it."

Tao Ti smiled brightly at her, "Don't be nervous, I like to cook, and I often cook by myself on weekdays."

Upon hearing this, Qinghe was even more surprised.

Seeing Tao Ti heading to the kitchen, she was curious in her heart and asked cautiously, "Then can I go and have a look?"

"Yes." Tao Ti agreed, and then blinked slyly at Qinghe, "Come, let me show you some cooking skills."

Qinghe was startled.

Suddenly, he relaxed and smiled, "Okay."
