Chapter 1261 Chapter 60·Is this choosing a guard?

Xiao Heng went out to serve as director, and Su Yao went back to the East Palace by himself.

She was terribly tired. She had been busy with getting married these days, and today she went to kowtow in various palaces. She was so tired that she couldn't even lift her arms.

Both Jinping and Shen's mother felt extremely distressed and hurriedly asked her to go back and sleep for a while.

Su Yao really couldn't hold it any longer and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

When she woke up again, it was already dark. She was startled and hurriedly wanted to get up.

Shen's mother came in when she heard the noise. When she saw the scene, she knew what she was thinking. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Your Highness has come back before. Seeing that you are still sleeping, he specifically told us not to disturb you and let us follow you." He said, "Nothing's going on today. You can eat first when you wake up. He's discussing Zhejiang's coastal defense with Mr. Zhan today. I'm afraid he won't be back that early, so you don't have to wait."

After saying this, Mother Shen always had a smile on her face.

How could her own girl not be happy to have such a considerate and gentle husband? To be honest, even if Xiao Heng is not a grandson, he is really precious to be able to do things like this. What's more, he still has such a life experience. Looking at it vertically and horizontally, Mother Shen felt that meeting Xiao Heng was a blessing in disguise in her previous life.

Su Yao also felt a little emotional.

In her last life, she was Cheng Ding'an's daughter-in-law. She had to get up early every morning to set rules for her mother-in-law. She was as busy as a spinning top all day long and never stopped. Even after giving birth to Cheng Li, she didn't. It was difficult for Cheng Li to relax as much as he could. He always burst into tears when the nannies took him, so she could only carry him by herself. She couldn't sleep all night long, and she didn't know what it felt like to wake up.

But now she is married to Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng's status is not lower than that of Cheng Ding'an, but he has never made any demands on her. Instead, he is always considerate and gentle.

She sincerely felt that she was lucky.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Yao saw that it was already getting late, so he ordered the female official in the East Palace: "Please ask Eunuch Hu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come over tomorrow."

The female officer hurriedly agreed.

Su Yao didn't have to be a director that day. She slept a lot during the day, but couldn't sleep at night, so she simply sat by the window and read a book.

She didn't know how long it had passed, but she suddenly heard the maid outside saluting and calling His Highness.

Immediately afterwards, before she had put down her book, Xiao Heng pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing Su Yao still sitting by the window reading, Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't someone come back to report that I couldn't come back so early?"

Su Yao stood up with a smile: "I slept a lot during the day, so I haven't felt sleepy yet. Have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Heng also laughed: "I'm hungry when you tell me. The East Palace sent out a special dish before, but we were busy and it didn't taste very good. Now I'm hungry."

Su Yao then called Mother Shen in and ordered the kitchen to cook ham and bamboo shoot noodles.

The cooks in the small kitchen were all transferred from the imperial dining room, and they worked very hard to perform. In addition, it was the food that His Highness ordered to eat, and they were even more careful. They cooked a bowl of ham, bamboo shoot noodles, and ham using the broth from the chicken soup. The slices are thin and the bamboo shoots are fresh and crisp. Watching New Year greetings on this winter night makes people feel warm in their stomachs.

Xiao Heng recommended it to Su Yao.

Su Yao shook his head: "I'm so full from what I had at night that I can't eat any more."

When she said this, Xiao Heng did not force her and ate a whole bowl of noodles by himself.

It can be seen that I am really hungry.

The next day, Xiao Heng still went out to do business outside. Zhejiang's coastal defense department needed to send people there. How to select people? The staff department was also arguing non-stop. He had to do his homework in advance when he wanted to go to the staff department.

I've been very busy lately.

Su Yao also has his own things to do.

Eunuch Hu came right after breakfast and his attitude was very respectful.

Su Yao first asked about the candidate for the consort.

When he heard about this matter, Eunuch Hu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Yaolai to be responsible for this matter.

But he was very smart and did not ask any more questions. He just smiled and reported to Su Yao: "It happens that there are already five candidates. They are all chosen by the people. One is from Jinan, Shandong, called Chen Xianyi. He is a scholar and has some talents. The other

He is from Yongxiu, Jiangxi, and has no fame, but he is also literate. There is also another one from Hexian, Anhui, named Lu Yongning, who is a filial son."

When I heard about the candidates, they were all wealthy private households.

Su Yao nodded, noncommittal: "Are these people here now?"

Eunuch Hu nodded: "These five candidates were selected after many rounds of selection. They are still in the palace outside the city. If you want to meet them, it is possible."

Su Yao thought for a moment and asked Eunuch Hu: "Do they have any other selections recently?"

Eunuch Hu thought for a while: "Yes, there is a selection for horse riding recently."

horse riding.

Su Ying hummed, "Then I'll go take a look when the time comes. Eunuch Hu will let me know when the time comes."

Eunuch Hu hurriedly agreed.

Su Yao then asked Eunuch Hu what these candidates would go through after being selected.

Eunuch Hu wanted to please the princess, so he told Su Yao all the procedures he knew.

In fact, the things the prince-in-law learns are similar to those of a beautiful girl. Anyway, they are all about the various rules in the palace and how to serve the princess.

The more Su Yao listened, the more unreliable he felt.

It is simply unrealistic to ask the nuns and eunuchs to teach the consort how to get along with the princess and how to restrain his desires.

Human beings have desires. The things that the mammy and the eunuchs painstakingly taught were of no use at all. What they taught them were just puppets without souls. They would implement them step by step at first, but after a while,

It will change.

This is human nature.

This is also the reason why most married princesses are unhappy.

Su Yao felt that this ancestral system was useless except to prevent nobles from getting involved in higher powers.

It was even a way for the emperor to send away his daughters and sisters.

It doesn't take much trouble, just send the daughter away.

This kind of princess is not as good as the daughter of an ordinary noble family.

At least there are really many people close to those noble families who can marry well.

She pondered slightly and dismissed Eunuch Hu.

However, Shen's mother also sensed something was wrong, and said with great disapproval: "This choice is not like choosing a consort, but rather choosing an escort."

Su Yao also smiled.

She already felt that there was no need to consider these five candidates anymore, but since the censors insisted on following the ancestral system, she naturally had to see how these five people were doing.

She said softly: "I can't make a decision yet about what it is like. Let's wait until we meet them in a few days. Then I will take my mother with me, and my mother will also help me palm the eyes to see how they are doing."
