Huangfu Chuchu had been very depressed these past two days. The moment she received the post from the Prince's Mansion, it was like rain falling from the sky. She didn't even clean up, but took her two maids, got on the carriage and went to the Prince's Mansion.
Behind her in the door, a handsome young man stared at her back as if she was running away. He stood silently for a long time, with a deep and paranoid luster in his dark pupils.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and Huangfu Chuchu arrived at Qifeng Hall under the guidance of the steward. Yun Zishu was still changing clothes and dressing up. Seeing her arriving so early, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you had breakfast?"
Huangfu Chuchu shook his head: "Not yet."
"That's good, join me for breakfast later." Yun Zishu stood up from the dressing table, her voice still a bit tired, "I'm a bit snoozy today, I just got up."
Huangfu Chuchu suddenly became interested, his eyes were shining: "Did you have a hard time last night?"
The maids in the palace lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
The corner of Yun Zishu's mouth twitched: "What are you thinking about? My little daughter hasn't even left the government yet, and her mind is full of improper thoughts."
"You're going to go through this anyway, what's there to be ashamed of?" Huangfu Chuchu didn't take it seriously, and there was no trace of the shyness that a young daughter's family should have on her face. "Although I haven't left the cabinet yet, I'm not far away from doing so.
My mother secretly showed me those brochures and read them over and over."
Yun Zishu fell silent immediately.
That's right.
Before noble girls from aristocratic families leave the palace, their mothers will teach them some boudoir techniques and tell them what they will experience after getting married.
Yun Zishu had no mother, and after marrying Sicang, she came to Dongyou from Dayong. No one had ever told her this, but there were some things that she didn't need anyone else to remind her of.
"I haven't read any brochures, and I don't have as many improper thoughts as you." Yun Zishu laughed, raising her hand to caress her belly, "But everything that should have come has come. The reason why I am sleepy recently is not because I have been tossing a lot.
But there is a happy event."
Huangfu Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. His eyes couldn't help but glance at Yun Zishu's belly: "Are you happy?"
"Um."
"This is really great!" Huangfu Chuchu was also happy for her, "They say that the Dongyou royal family has few heirs. The princess is pregnant now, and will she not be able to prosper and be full of children and grandchildren?"
Yun Zishu sat down at the table with her, and the maid handed her a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and Huangfu Chuchu brought a cup of white fungus and lotus seed soup.
Yun Zishu glanced at her: "Have you been troubled recently?"
"Can you see?" Huangfu Chuchu touched his face, and then felt melancholy, "I seem to have raised a puppy into a wolf."
"Huh?" Yun Zishu was puzzled at first, but then realized, "The one Wu Yang mentioned last time is the one you have at home?"
Huangfu nodded Chuchu: "I originally thought he was good-looking, and it would be nice to have him around. I will wait for a chance to see what he wants to do. If he wants to be an official, he can join the army, or if he wants to join the army, he can join the army, or he can be a bodyguard at home.
There's nothing wrong with it, anyway, with the conditions of my family, even if you go out as a guard, you will have great glory, and marrying a wife is no problem."
After a pause, he said, "And given his appearance, it wouldn't be difficult to marry a lady from a wealthy family."
Yun Zishu didn't speak, just listened to her quietly.
"But something has been wrong with him recently. He keeps pestering me. He constantly asks me what kind of man I like, what my ideal husband is like, and whether I like a domineering or a docile man." Huangfu Chuchu
Headache, "It's so audacious."
Yun Zishu's eyes were playful: "Does he like you?"
"He and I are not suitable." Huangfu Chuchu shook his head firmly, "His face is quite suitable for me, but it's a pity that he is too young."
"Isn't he older than you?"
"Only one year older." Huangfu Chuchu said, "The Crown Princess should know that women age faster, and men are most attractive in their thirties and forties. Anyway, in my opinion, he is just a young boy now, so follow me
Inappropriate."
"It should be your prejudice." Yun Zishu pondered, "Maybe he was relatively young when you first met. Over the years, you have the impression that he has always been a child."
Huangfu Chuchu frowned.
Yun Zishu asked: "How do you feel about him?"
"I don't feel anything, I just feel like I have a little brother." Huangfu Chuchu sighed, "He has been too annoying recently."
"What's the reason for this sudden obsession?"
Huangfu Chuchu frowned and guessed: "Maybe it's because my mother has recently started to make plans for my marriage."
Yun Zishu understood: "Then do you have a man you like?"
"Not yet." Huangfu Chuchu shook his head, "My mother has collected many portraits from aristocratic companies. I estimate there are twenty or thirty. She is selecting the most suitable one, but I have no interest in getting married at all."
"Actually, it's not difficult to distinguish your own feelings. Anyway, you have reached the age of leaving the court. Since your mother has started to arrange marriage for you, you might as well pay attention recently. Some of the young men from aristocratic families have reached the age of marriage and their family background, appearance, etc.
Those who are more in line with your standards in terms of talent, learning and other aspects, after observing them, see who makes you more excited."
Huangfu Chuchu was slightly surprised: "It shouldn't be possible for your heart to fall in love as soon as you meet her."
Unless his appearance is too handsome and outstanding, people will never be able to take their eyes away after taking one look at him. However, so far, there has not been such a man in the Imperial City.
Yun Zishu said: "Observe other men more and you will subconsciously compare them with the one in your family. This will make it easier to distinguish your own feelings."
Huangfu Chuchu frowned: "The Crown Princess thinks I like him?"
"Pleasure to the eye mostly comes from sight." Yun Zishu chuckled, "Of course I can't be sure that you really like him, and I can't give you bad ideas, but since you said that he has an outstanding appearance, you find it pleasing to the eye.
, is this purely appreciation, without a little bit of excitement mixed in?"
Huangfu Chuchu frowned and said nothing.
"The youth of a daughter's family cannot be delayed, and marriage cannot be hasty." Yun Zishu said seriously, "If you are really not sure who you like, then marrying a reliable person who knows everything is obviously better than marrying a
Strangers make you feel safer."
A reliable person who knows the basics?
Huangfu Chuchu put down his chopsticks and held his chin in melancholy: "I can't even be sure now whether Rong Zhan knows the truth or not. His recent performance makes me feel that there is a big deviation in my knowledge."
"Bring me to the Prince's Mansion another day to see you." Yun Zishu said, "To make you so sad and full of knots, you are not an ordinary person."
Huangfu Chuchu said nothing. She had often had this thought recently, always feeling that Rong Zhan was not as docile and harmless as he appeared.
