When men drink together, the most talked about topic is women.
Similarly, in a banquet consisting solely of women, even if it is not the main topic, men will inevitably be mentioned.
Of course, the women at the palace banquet were all noble ladies, rich in wealth, so the conversation was more subtle, usually starting with "my husband" and "my son."
Ming'er will get angry if she says anything disrespectful to Yang Xu, very angry! Although she won't show it, she will really get angry. On the contrary, if she hears someone praise Yang Xu, she will be very happy.
Her emotions revolved around that person unknowingly. That's how a girl in love is.
At this moment, Ming'er held her fragrant cheeks and was thinking about Yang Xu. She remembered from when she was very young, starting from the smelly guy who didn't give her any face and took away the firefox fur from in front of her;
On a snowy winter night, it started with the audacious man who grabbed her hostage fiercely; from inside the underground palace, he bravely scratched the skin with a candlestick, extinguished the gunpowder twister with blood, and thought about every bit of the relationship between them.
Thinking about what others said about him... the more I think about it, the sweeter it becomes in my heart, as if I have eaten honey.
Her eyes were blurred, and there was a sweet smile on her lips. Her mind had wandered to nowhere, so Queen Xu walked into the palace, called her but got no answer, and walked around in front of her twice without noticing.
Empress Xu bent down, looked at the two peach blossoms on her little sister's face, and smiled in surprise: "My little sister...what's wrong?"
"ah?"
The line of sight in front of her was blocked, and Ming'er woke up with a start. She subconsciously leaned up and saw clearly that it was her sister in front of her. Ming'er took a long breath, patted her chest and said, "Why did my sister walk in quietly? I'm so scared."
.”
Empress Xu was both angry and funny: "Whoever walked in quietly, I already walked twice in front of you."
She pulled a brocade pier, sat down next to Ming'er, looked at her cute appearance, brushed a strand of hair from her temples behind her ears, and asked softly: "My little sister, what are you thinking about?"
"
"Ah! I didn't think about anything!" Ming'er suddenly felt a little guilty.
Empress Xu smiled lightly, scratched her nose, and said angrily: "You, don't forget, my sister's son is older than you, and you still can't see what you are thinking? Stop pretending, tell your sister, it's true
Don’t you have a sweetheart?”
"I……"
Ming'er shook her head, thinking about it, and nodded again, her eyes widened, and when she saw her sister's half-smiling look, she was embarrassed for a while, and she threw herself into her arms with an oops. Speaking of which, this eldest sister,
To her, she is really like a mother.
Empress Xu smiled and patted her back, then held her shoulders, letting her appear in front of her again, looking at her pink and peach blossom-like dimples, and gently caressing her jelly-like smooth breasts.
He turned his cheek and said softly: "Ming'er has really grown up. I feel pity for him when he looks like this, let alone a man. Tell me, sister, whose son is so lucky?"
Ming'er was shy and embarrassed to speak.
Empress Xu smiled and said: "Two days ago, your brother-in-law also told me that he should help you find your relatives. These days, I have hosted banquets for the royal family, and my sister is really trying to find out for you. I didn't expect that, little girl like you,
You actually fell in love with a man, haha, tell me who it is, little girl, if you don’t tell me, how can my sister make the decision for you?"
Ming'er lowered her head and said shyly: "I...I told you, sister, don't laugh at me."
Empress Xu laughed and said: "How could it be possible? In our daughter's family, the most important thing in life is the person we are committed to for life. Why would my sister laugh at you for such an important matter? Tell me, whose son is this?
?Where did you, crazy girl, see someone else and fall in love with her?"
Ming'er whispered: "Actually... my sister also recognizes him."
"Sister, do you recognize it too?"
Empress Xu was a little surprised. She thought about the children of several meritorious families, but it seemed that no one could match the number. She couldn't help but said: "Okay, don't play riddles for me, tell me quickly!"
"He...he is Yang Xu!"
After Ming'er finished speaking, she was so ashamed that she threw herself into her sister's arms again. Empress Xu was stunned and said in surprise: "Yang Xu? Whose child is this? His surname is Yang, which minister is he?"
Ming'er became anxious, sat up straight, and said coquettishly: "I knew my sister would make fun of me, Yang Xu! Yang Xu! Assistant Duke Yang Xu!"
"What?"
Queen Xu was stunned. She was stunned for a long time and then said: "Isn't it right... My sister heard that Yang Xu was already married? How could I remember that he had a wife who had died of illness? You... the dignified little county of Zhongshan Prince's Palace
Lord, you want to give someone a second string? No! No, no, no! Even if he is the Duke of the country, it won’t be possible!"
Ming'er was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Oh, my stupid sister, why did you die of illness? I... my two ladies are both alive and kicking!"
Empress Xu suddenly realized: "Oh... it turns out she is a concubine. That makes it suitable for my sister to marry a prince. It's just... he is a little older. Let me think about it... it seems
He is twenty-seven, right? You are only fifteen, um..., you can barely do it!"
Ming'er said: "No, the two wives of Yang Xu are both married by the matchmaker, not concubines!"
"Not a concubine?"
Empress Xu said angrily: "Smelly girl, what are you kidding me about? You can also joke about your own life-long events?"
"I'm not kidding!"
"No?"
Queen Xu looked at her sister's expression carefully, her expression became solemn, she held her shoulders and said, "Tell sister, what's going on?"
Ming'er said coyly: "He... he is an equal wife, I think... I don't think so..."
Queen Xu's face was as dark as water, and she was really a little angry: "Nothing? Other women are nothing! But you are my sister, the daughter of the Prince of Zhongshan, even if you marry the emperor or the prince, what will happen?
One has a wife who is equal to her? What’s more, there are two!”
"elder sister……"
"Stop talking!" Queen Xu stood up and said angrily: "This Yang Xu is too outrageous! He has two wives at home and dares to provoke my sister. He bullies you for being young and ignorant, and deceives your heart with sweet words.
This is really unreasonable, I can’t spare him!”
"Sister, where are you going?"
"I went to find your brother-in-law and summoned Yang Xu into the palace. It was unbecoming and daring. Don't worry, my sister will vent your anger for you. I won't let him off lightly!"
Ming'er was shocked, rushed over, hugged her sister's arm, and stamped her feet anxiously: "Oh, sister, you..., you don't want to go! They... they don't agree to marry me, I still want to
Let my sister ask her brother-in-law for marriage."
Ming'er said, tears streaming down her face.
"What?" Empress Xu could hardly believe her ears. She took a closer look at her sister and saw that she was really not joking. Then she pulled her to the table and sat down again, and said, "Come on, talk to me from beginning to end."
Sister knows, what’s going on?”
From beginning to end, Ming'er confided her thoughts and joy for Xia Xun to her sister. Then she slid down Jindun, pressed against her sister's thigh, and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I really like him, so I just
If you like him, please help me, okay? If you speak, he will definitely listen."
Empress Xu finally understood that her love was just unrequited love for her sister. She pulled Ming'er up, wiped away the tears on her cheeks with compassion, and sighed softly: "You silly girl, it's okay, don't think about this anymore.
, you, you were just confused for a moment, luckily...you just told your sister to know, otherwise you wouldn't make others laugh? Let's just forget about it and don't mention it again in the future. In a few days, my sister will help you choose one personally.
A wonderful husband as you wish."
"Ah?" Ming'er was in a daze: "Sister, won't you help me? I asked my sister to ask my brother-in-law for his will. Who told you to help me choose a husband?"
Queen Xu feigned anger and said: "You stinky girl, you are still thinking hard! How can you marry Yang Xu's two wives?"
Ming'er murmured: "That's not it...then you can still have a legal wife, and it doesn't mean you have insulted our Xu family..."
"Isn't that considered humiliating?" Empress Xu tapped her on the forehead, looking at her pitiful look, she was angry and distressed: "This is absolutely impossible! Don't think about it. In a few days,
My sister asked the married women to bring all the unmarried men of the right age into the palace, and asked your three nephews to hold a banquet for you. As for you, you can take a peek. No matter who you like, your sister will make the decision for you. Don't think about that Yang Xu.
Got it!"
"I don't! I just like him!" Xu Ming'er also had a bad temper: "Sister won't help me and wants to break me up, so I won't pay attention to you!"
Empress Xu was both angry and funny: "You girl, my sister didn't break you up, didn't she say she likes you?"
Xu Ming'er puffed up her chest and said unconvinced: "I don't believe it, how can I not be worthy of him? I know that he thinks the same as my sister. He also thinks that it is impossible for him and me, so he refuses to accept it! As long as
If my sister tells him that you are willing to let me marry, won't he feel relieved?"
Queen Xu said in surprise: "How can you be so sure? Have you...have you already confessed your love to him?"
Xu Ming'er's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head coyly, watching the toes of her boots draw circles on the ground.
Empress Xu sat back on the Jindun and murmured: "You girl, why are you so bold? It really makes me mad, ugh! This is all because your parents died early, and everyone in the family pampers you.
You are spoiled, how could you...how could you..."
Xu Ming'er ran over and shook her arm like she did when she was a child asking for her favorite toys: "Good sister, please help me. Sister helped you. Ming'er will miss you forever. Sister.
, People really like him, I don’t know why, anyway... I don’t like others anyway, those self-righteous young men are the most annoying, sister, sister..."
"Okay, okay, stop shaking, my sister is shaking your head so much that it makes you dizzy!"
"Then you agreed?"
"Well..., it's useless for my sister to agree. If your brother-in-law doesn't agree..."
Ming'er's little mouth was so pouted that it could hang a bottle of sesame oil: "What does it have to do with our daughter getting married?"
"You..." Queen Xu looked like she hated the iron, and sighed: "What if Yang Xu doesn't agree?"
"Impossible!" Ming'er said firmly, "I can see that he likes me too!"
Queen Xu said angrily: "You are such a shameless girl!"
Ming'er hugged her arm and coquettishly said, "Aren't you doing this in front of your sister? Promise me, sister is the best! Sister..."
Empress Xu slapped her hard between the eyebrows and said angrily: "Damn girl! It's done. I'll tell you, sister, but there's no guarantee that it will be done!"
When Ming'er heard this, she immediately jumped up, hugged her sister, and kissed her hard on the face. Empress Xu thought: "This child is stubborn. I have to discuss it with the emperor. If Yang Xu is willing to put those two His wife has been demoted to a concubine, so it’s okay to marry his sister to him. If he refuses, he must find a way to get rid of this ridiculous idea of his sister!”
