Chapter 309 Princess

In the middle of the banquet, the princess saw that the people at the banquet were a little drunk. Even Yuanxiu also drank a few grotto spring, and her face was gorgeous. She took the opportunity to ask, "If Jiumei drinks too much, why don't I accompany you to take a break while your third sister-in-law is busy?"

"It's okay." Yuanxiu didn't drink much, but she could also drink a few drinks, but it was very easy to face, but she was still sober. However, listening to the meaning of the princess's words, she seemed to have something to say, so she took advantage of the opportunity to get up. At this time, Changsun Mingjing greeted a little far away, and Princess Changyang and Princess Hejing were drinking. They were drinking happily. Gao Lie, but didn't notice her.

Because Tao Jingnian rested in the side hall, the princess was very familiar with the terrain of the royal palace, so she followed the cloister covered by eaves to a water pavilion a short distance from the main hall. The water pavilion was airy on all sides and hung with light cyan smoke-like smoke. The place was not large, but because of the water, although there was no ice basin, it was also cool.

The princess ordered the waiters of the two to stay outside the cabinet and took Yuan Xiu's hand with a smile and said, "Let's have a few private words."

"I'll listen to my second sister-in-law." Yuanxiu smiled and followed her into the water pavilion. The two sat on the other side of the water. The princess paused and said, "I have always known that Jiumei is smart, so I don't go around the circle - Nanfeng's child is really unbearable. At the beginning, it was also for this reason that his parents thought of a way and asked someone to send him to God. In the military, I thought that there were military rules and regulations, not to mention that Yuan Tongjun had always been calm. Unexpectedly, although Yuan Tongjun praised him with good intentions this time, he did not expect that he was not to be disappointed and bold, which offended Jiumei. According to reason, although my surname is Cui, I entered the Li family, and naturally stood on my sister's side. It's just..."

The princess smiled bitterly and said, "If it is the child next to the Cui family, I must have no face to say this to Jiumei. Nanfeng has been attracted by the imperial concubine since he was a child. Over the years, even Lang can compare in front of the imperial concubine. The old concubine is old and inevitably pay more attention to her children. Originally, she wanted to go to the palace in person to ask for one. I just wanted to wait for Jiumei's anger to calm down. Who would have thought that Jiumei was busy again now, so she didn't dare to bother her. Taking advantage of today's third sister-in-law's birthday, the imperial concubine asked me to bring this meaning.

Yuan Xiu squinted and smiled faintly. The matter between Cui Nanfeng and Feng Teng was very big and small. What's more, there was a 26th Niang of the Lu family in it, which was even more complicated. On behalf of the princess, she said that Princess Cui did not immediately visit the palace after Yuanxiu returned to Chang'an because she wanted to wait for her anger to subside slightly. I'm afraid it was because It was rumored that the middle palace and concubine Hua were both pregnant. One of the three Fangyi was injured, one had to raise the prince, and the other was short-edutainable when she entered the palace. Therefore, the queen said that Fengchun asked Yuanxiu to take charge of the palace affairs on her behalf. Cui Taifei was anxious - Yuanxiu was only entrusted to thoroughly investigate the previous minor birth of Zheng Meiren. There were no concubines in the Boling Cui family in the palace, so they were not afraid of burning themselves.

But the power of the middle palace is different - don't look at the management of the six palaces. The relationship between Chang'an families is inextricably, not to mention that the 26th daughter of the Lu family and Lu Fangyi in the palace are cousins of the same clan?

And this matter also made Chang'an know more about the glory of Princess Yuanxiu's holy family, which is far better than the rest of the princesses. Although Cui Taifei was born in Boling and had a parent-child surrogate king, she did not want to easily offend Yuanxiu, who was deeply valued by her brother, but although Cui Nanfeng was disappointing, It was the concubine's nephew who had been in pain for many years, so she still asked the princess to come and open her mouth.

Thinking that Feng, who just entered the main hall and Changsun Mingjing came to welcome Princess Qiong, was probably Cui Nanfeng's mother and Feng Teng's aunt. Because of Cui's cold attitude and Yuanxiu's failure to completely end the matter of Cui Nanfeng and Feng Teng, Feng's family was not enough for the sake of Cui Taifei, so she didn't pay attention to them next. It was also on behalf of the princess to see Feng's several occasions of hospitality and was ignored by Yuan Xiu, so she had to come forward in person.

In this way, Prince's Day handed over the palace power to her, not necessarily because Fengchun can hold herself down in order to justify herself, and she intends to push the boat with Fengchun - if the palace power is still taken care of by the Prince's Day, Princess Cui wants to pry for Cui Nanfeng, and the Empress Dowager Zhaoxian has gone. Empress Cui had to look for Prince's Day to make a detour. Prince's Day handed over the palace power like this, but avoided such a thankless job.

"The second sister-in-law also said just now that although the second sister-in-law is surnamed Cui, she entered the door of my Li family." Yuanxiu thought of this and said indifferently, "The imperial concubine is also from my Li family, but she doesn't want to be closer to a nephew of the Cui family than this palace?"

When the princess heard her words, she knew that Yuanxiu did not intend to let go easily. Her heart tightened and reluctantly smiled, "What Jiumei said, the imperial concubine loved Nanfeng only because he had been under his knees since childhood. How can she compare with Jiumei in terms of identity and being close to him? It's just that the imperial concubine heard that he was named by Yuan Tongjun to accompany Jiumei to the Purple Pavilion. When she was in the courtyard, she made Jiumei unhappy. The last time she returned home with a military stick, she was extremely confused. When the imperial concubine saw that he had offended Jiumei all day, she heard that it was not a big deal. Thinking that Jiumei had always been the most kind and generous, she wanted to Ask me to pay a gift to Jiumei for him - why isn't that what he said?

Hearing that she immediately found a way out for the royal palace, Yuanxiu said quietly: "Be kind and generous or dare not be praised by the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine and the second sister-in-law are also clear that I have lost their mother since childhood and were raised by Empress Dowager Zhaoxian. When Empress Dowager Zhaoxian was alive, Empress Dowager Zhaoxian tasted that the empress dowager Wenhua, the biological mother of this palace, stayed softly and deeply when she was alive. The six palaces support, so with its warning, I think that I can't compare with my mother, but I don't lose the hope of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, and I can't be regarded as an unreasonable person. Second sister-in-law, do you think so?

Of course, she had no room to shake her head when she asked the princess, and smiled slightly, "Jiumei is absolutely right."

"In this case, my second sister-in-law came to look for me today, but I can't talk about my grievances." Yuan Xiu sneered, "Since Emperor Gaozu set the capital in Chang'an, what kind of life our Li family's daughter has lived. Presumably, the second sister-in-law also knows that even the second sister is virtuous, but she has never lost her royal demeanor!"

The princess's face changed slightly, and Yuan Xiu even said the royal demeanor. It seemed that this matter was obviously difficult to do well. She couldn't help but regret listening to Princess Cui's words and talking about this. Although Cui Nanfeng is also her cousin, how can he compare with her parents and children? It is true that Li Yun is the son of the world, but the life of the valued clan is different from that of the clan that is not valued. What's more, the children of Li Yun and Feng Chun are separated one layer, let alone continue? Originally, the princess had a few words about this matter - this dynasty has always been indulgent to the emperor's daughter, take a look at Gaoyang, peace and happiness at the founding of the country, and then look at today's Pingjin and Yunzhou. Although Princess Yuanxiu has never done anything to plagiarise, the emperor's attention and favored among the daughters of Emperor Xianzong is absolutely No less than Pingjin, who accompanied and spent the most effort by Emperor Xianzong!

Boling Cui is a famous family, and now it is not the time when the scholars are enough to compete with the royal family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When Gaozu and Emperor Taizong raised troops, they also received the help of all families. At that time, the five surnames and seven families were indeed extraordinary, but they also avoided it - Emperor Gaozong Bingwu When Zhou was in reign, five families and seven families and several families, such as Luo, Changsun, Du, Wei, Pei... Which one was repeatedly looking for an opportunity to clean up?

What's more, Cui Nanfeng is absolutely not good enough to protect him at the risk of offending the princess!

Empress Cui served Emperor Xianzong for many years. She gave birth to a king and waited safely when Emperor Xianzong died. She was taken out of the palace as an imperial concubine by the king and enjoyed her old age. It can be seen that she was not shrewd, but this time she was too confused!

The princess complained about Princess Cui in her heart. She had been married with the king for many years. Although there were many concubines in the palace, she had always been deeply respected by the king. Even Princess Cui was polite to treat her. Naturally, it was not useless. Hearing Yuanxiu's unwillingness to give up, she saw Yuanxiu's intention that Cui Nanfeng did not cause anything. Xiao-Cui Nanfeng has been loved by Concubine Cui since he was a child, so he has raised the habit of being a plaything. He is about the same age as the prince of the king. The imperial concubine likes him, and it is inevitable that he is also a little cold to his eldest grandson Li Yu. The princess doesn't say anything, and he is always a little disapproving in his heart. Cui Nanfeng relies on the love of Princess Cui and causes trouble outside. There are also many times. Every time he gets into trouble, if there is no one else to clean it up for him, he will just go to the princess to coax him. The princess will send the king to deal with the aftermath for him. Therefore, after listening to Yuan Xiu's words, he felt that Cui Nanfeng must have made a big deal smaller this time.

Thinking of the behavior of the princesses of this dynasty, the princess felt a headache. Earlier, Emperor Zhongzong spoiled his daughter Princess Anle. Princess Anle took the draft edict and blinded the eyes of Emperor Zhongzong to make him use the seal. Zhongzong actually smiled and obeyed - Fengchun may not spoil Yuanxiu like this, but It's too easy for the royal family to deal with an undisciplint pupil for his sister!

And Princess Yuanxiu didn't move at this time, and she didn't see any preference for the Cui family and the royal palace. According to the princess, either Yuanxiu didn't care at all, so she persuaded Jinshang to pretend that it had never happened, or Yuanxiu would not move and move... The princess calmed down and smiled. He said, "Jiumei's sex. I don't know where to be a sister-in-law? You are the most sensible. This is all because Nanfeng is not good. Originally, he has been an honest child since he was a child, so the old princess and I have always believed in him, just as not a big deal. Who would have thought that he was full of nonsense? I just beg the ninth sister not to care about the old concubine for being blinded by him. I will go back and tell the old princess carefully.

On behalf of the princess, the meaning of the hint was self-evident, and the responsibility was all shifted to Cui Nanfeng alone, and even the Cui family was abandoned. Obviously, she told Yuan Xiu that she was willing to hand over Cui Nanfeng to calm her anger.

When the princess said this, he was even secretly relieved. Cui Nanfeng's status in the Cui family was completely because he was most popular with Concubine Cui. In terms of ability, it was definitely the reverse. If such a Langjun did not cause a big deal and left the imperial concubine a joke, it would be regarded as filial piety on behalf of others. Now It's better to provoke people who shouldn't be provoked and hand him out to calm things down than to be all involved - Cui Nanxun of Boling Cui's generation is the one who is expected to revitalize the Cui family.

If Cui Nanfeng affects Cui Nanxun for this reason, the princess will be on his behalf. What do you think? Handing over Cui Nanfeng is a good thing for the king's mansion and the Cui family. The princess doesn't even want to hear what Cui Nanfeng has done.

Yuan Xiu smiled indifferently: "When the old princess was taken out of the palace by her second brother, I was still young, and I didn't see the princess many times in the palace, but the princess has always been soft-hearted..." Her disbelief was obvious.

The princess quickly smiled and said, "What Jiumei said, but although the old concubine is soft-hearted, she is also a reasonable person. Jiumei can rest assured!"

Speaking of which, when Yuan Beihe told me Cui Nanfeng's name in the Zige courtyard earlier, I was surprised, because before I went to Zhongnanshan, I heard from the palace that the eighth sister had paid attention to a son of the Boling Cui family in the Penglai Hall, saying that Cui Nanxun was an excellent name, which was so similar to that in Chang'an, and Ask him if he is also a son of Boling Cui's family? Yuan Xiuyou said, "Yuan Beihe said yes. I think that since Cui Nanxun's reputation in Chang'an is good, not to mention that the voice of the children of the Boling Cui family has been good, so I have been choosing him and Feng Teng to be bodyguards by my side, and I also think they are good, so it seems too disappointing."

The princess reluctantly smiled and said, "This is all because my uncle spoils him too much..."

"I heard that the Cui family won the first place in the five-qu river dragon boat race this year. I haven't had time to congratulate my second sister-in-law these days." Yuan Xiu suddenly mentioned another thing.

At this time, it was almost time to beg for the festival. The Chongwu Festival had already passed. She suddenly mentioned it and was stunned on behalf of the princess before nodding. Yuanxiu said lurely, "I also heard that the imperial concubine to the bank of the Qujiang River to watch the dragon boat race in person, and also booked the Tinglan Pavilion with the best view by the Qujiang River in advance? I heard that all the people on the boat that day except Si Gu sent people from Jiangnan Water Township to make good tides? I heard that Cui has also prepared a reward for this year's boat race?

She heard three consecutive questions on behalf of the princess with a stiff smile and reluctantly said, "This is all to make the princess happy."

"It is also a matter of course to honor the original." Yuanxiu and Yanyu said happily, "It's only when I heard about this matter that it was a little strange - it was Lang who invited the imperial concubine to Tinglan Pavilion. I think it must have been chartered by the royal palace, and the winning tide master was also invited by the second brother. Cui only prepared a reward. Why did he win the name of Cui instead of the second brother? Question mark When I heard it, I thought it was the Cui family's special effort for the imperial concubine!"

Seeing that the princess was about to speak, Yuan Xiu smiled again and changed back to my self-proclaimed leisurely and said, "Bong Lang is a filial person. I think it's also because the imperial concubine always loved him, so she hung the dragon boat under the name of Cui, so as to make the imperial concubine happy?"

The substitute princess had to do so. Yuan Xiu shook his head and whispered, "It's just that the second brother also seems to be surnamed Li?"
