The faint scent of ambergris mixed with the smell of wine reached Su Jingyan's nose, and she said: "Aside from growing taller, you are no longer young. How can a child drink? How can he be so drunk?

"

Xiao Yi was half drunk and said: "I am neither young nor drunk."

Su Jing said: "You are so drunk that you are talking nonsense, and you still say you are not drunk!"

Eunuch Yuan said to Su Jing: "Miss Su, just now, in order to reward the border soldiers, your Majesty refused their toasts to everyone, so he was very drunk.

His Majesty was afraid that the Queen Mother would be worried and nagging, so he did not dare to bring other palace people with him, so he secretly asked me to take him to Haitang Palace for a short break. Could you please Miss Su to help take care of Your Majesty, and I will go and get the hangover soup for Your Majesty."

Su Jing said: "If I had known that the Queen Mother would be worried about being scolded, why would she get so drunk? I'll take care of him, and you can go get hangover medicine."

Eunuch Yuan thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Miss Su."

Su Jingyan asked Yingchun to help Xiao Yi, but before Yingchun could meet Xiao Yi, she was dodged by Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi pointed at Su Jingyan and said, "I want you to help me."

Su Jingyan stepped forward to help Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi was still a child after all, and it would be uncomfortable to get drunk for the first time, so she didn't care about it.

Su Jingyan helped Xiao Yi to the bedroom in Haitang Palace, and helped Xiao Yi to rest on the imperial concubine's couch. Xiao Yi almost touched the couch and closed her eyes.

Su Jingyan glanced at Xiao Yi's sleeping face with her eyes closed, thinking about the choice of queen she had discussed with her father and brother, and thought she had to change it.

After all, Xiao Yi looks so good-looking even when she is asleep. The queen's appearance cannot be that of Xiaojiabiyu. She has to be a great beauty who can match Xiao Yi.

Thinking about it this way, it became even more difficult for the already difficult candidate to choose the queen.

Yingchun said boldly to Su Jing from the side: "Miss, I didn't expect the little emperor to be so handsome when he grows up. When he was a child, his face was dark and dirty, but now he is so white."

Su Jingyan nodded and said: "If he were not the emperor, this face would probably be the face of all the princesses in Luoyang. It would be great if my face could have his appearance in the future."

Yingchun was shocked and said: "Miss, do you really want to raise your face?"

Su Jing said: "At my current age, it is not easy to find a husband of the right family. It is better to find a husband whose family background is not as good as mine. It is better to have good looks. At least the man's appearance can be according to my wishes."

Su Jingyan has accumulated quite a lot of savings over the years, and she doesn't have to worry about not being able to support herself.

After Eunuch Yuan came in with hangover soup, Su Jingyan and Yingchun left Haitang Palace.

The two of them left the palace, and Xiao Yi, who was taking a nap on the couch, opened his eyes. Although he was drunk, he was still somewhat conscious. Everyone said that Duke Xuan treated him as a puppet, but Xiao Yi understood that Xuan Guogong

The Duke's loyalty.

However, Su Jingyan was not sure. She was so bold that she could even treat him as a stranger.

Hehe, even if he is not the emperor, he will never kill Su Jingyan in front of him!

…

Su Jingyan said she was not worried about her marriage, but her parents were very anxious.

Su Jingyan did not dare to tell her parents at this time that she was not marrying to raise her reputation. Her parents would definitely think that she was driven crazy by the regent.

Recently, Mr. and Mrs. Xuan Guogong carefully screened the unmarried sons and daughters of Su Jingyan who were similar in age to the princes and nobles in Luoyang City, but none of them were satisfied.

When Su Jingyan went to Shoude Hall to pay her respects to her mother, she saw that Mrs. Su was surrounded by portraits.

Mrs. Su smiled and said to Su Jingyan: "Ayan, you are here just in time. This is a portrait of the unmarried son who will have a title in the future of the Duke's house in Luoyang City."

Mrs. Su asked the maid on the side to open the scroll. Su Jingyan saw that the man in front of her was not extremely handsome, but it was not bad. He was considered handsome among the crowd.

Su Jingyan knew this person, the young emperor's companion, and the grandson of Taifu Hu.

Su Jing said: "Mom, isn't he the same age as Liu'er? Has he just turned seventeen?"

Liu'er is Su Jingyan's nephew. He is said to be a nephew, but he is only two years younger than her. But because of his nephew, Su Jingyan looks at people who are two or three years younger than her as if they are children.

of.

Mrs. Su said: "The sophomore girl is full of gold. She is only two years older. What does it matter? The remaining sons who are similar to you and older than you are either crooked or crooked."

Those who lost their wives, and those who were born as concubines.

Although our family is not a frivolous person who values ​​legitimate concubines, it is too unfair for you that the second son, a concubine, has no title to inherit. Taifu Hu’s grandson will be His Majesty’s companion in the future and has a bright future."

Su Jing said: "Mom, he is too young."

"He's only two years old, so he's not young at all. I originally disliked that bastard for being so old."

Su Jingyan knew that the bastard her mother was talking about was Xiao Ting, and she said, "Mom, even if I am willing to marry a child, the kid from the Hu family won't want to marry an older wife, right?"

Mrs. Su said: "Isn't tomorrow the Cold Food Festival? Tomorrow Liu'er will invite the people in these portraits to our village outside the city to imitate their predecessors in drinking water.

In addition to Master Hu, you can also meet other people. If you find a man you like, just ask your aunt to marry you. With the Queen Mother here, there is no need to worry that they will not agree to marry you."

Su Jingyan flipped through several portraits, and without exception they were all younger than her. One of them was even more outrageous. The little prince of Prince Jing's family was only fifteen years old, right?

"Mom, is this little prince fourteen or fifteen years old? Isn't he too young?"

Mrs. Su smiled and said: "It's only four years old, not to mention he looks the most beautiful among these portraits."

Su Jingyan hurriedly refused and said: "I can't do it for a little prince. If I marry into Prince Jing's palace, I will call Xiao Ting uncle and salute him."

Mrs. Su thought about it carefully and felt that what Su Jingyan said was reasonable: "Then let him forget it."

During the Cold Food Festival, it is advisable to go outing. There are many cars and horses leaving the city gate early in the morning heading to Wuquan Mountain.

Wuquan Mountain is named after the five hot spring pools on the mountain. The largest hot spring pool is owned by the royal family and is called the Royal Hot Spring Villa. The second largest hot spring pool is owned by the Duke of Xuan and was passed down from the ancestors of the Duke of Xuan.

Duke Xuan's ancestral home was in Kuaiji, so he built a Jiangnan garden here. There were pavilions and water pavilions in the garden, and water from the mountain springs was brought in. There was a small river in the courtyard. This small river was originally intended for meandering water.

Designed for flowing wine.

Today's spring breeze is warm, it's a good time to play with the flowing water.

Su Liu turned seventeen this year, and together with Master Hu, he was His Majesty's companion. In addition, he was a grandson of the powerful Xuanguo Duke. He sent out invitations, and all the invitees arrived early.

Su Liu was at the door and saw Hu Wei coming, accompanied by a man wearing moon-white brocade clothes. When he saw clearly that the person coming was Xiao Yi, Su Liu was startled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yi said: "Tafu Hu learned that today you held a banquet to play music and drink water, so he asked me to come over and discuss poetry knowledge with everyone."

Su Liu scratched his head and wondered: "Actually, the reason why I held Qu Shui Shui Shang today is not to discuss the knowledge of poetry."

Hu Wei said: "What is that for?"
