When he heard what Xiao Zhou Queen said, Zhou Xuan felt a little nervous, but instead let go. He understood that although Xiao Zhou Queen was the queen, she was also a mother. Xiao Zhou Queen was holding on to Princess Qingle and competing for favor. This was the same as Qin Que's mother always wanted her biological daughter Qin Que to press her daughter to the needle. She quickly smiled and said, "My aunt blamed me for my nephew. My nephew was worried that my aunt would not marry the princess. These days in the mansion was like an ant on a hot pan, and I was anxious!"
Xiao Zhouhou asked: "Have you ever seen Huzhu?"
Zhou Xuan said: "I went, I was turned away."
The little Zhou Hou smiled and became a little angry. She complained that Zhou Xuan wanted to marry her daughter, but she acted like a steady fishing boat. When ordinary people marry their daughter, the son-in-law had to try every means to please her mother-in-law and run errands frequently to give more gifts, let alone the princess of a country?
The little Zhou Hou knew that Zhou Xuan had many wives and concubines, Qin Que, Yan Zi, and Yang Xiaopin, were all beautiful, especially Yang Xiaopin, who was not inferior to Princess Qingle. He also heard that there was a Xiahou Liusu, who was also talented and talented. He would marry Lin Hanyun in the first month of next year, and her precious daughter, the Royal Princess, also wanted to join in the fun. In Guangling, Huzhu proposed to marry Zhou Xuan first. This was too unlucky for royal decency. If he married, he would not be angry with the Zhou family in the future.
Speaking of which, although Xiao Zhou Hou was virtuous and sensible, she was jealous as a woman. Otherwise, Li Yu would not have refused to accept other concubines since his mother died. Now Li Yu is gray-haired, and Xiao Zhou Hou has nothing to be jealous. Seeing that her daughter simply does not understand the art of controlling her husband, she, a mother, naturally had to stand up and not lose the royal dignity.
Xiao Zhouhou said, "You will be stunned when you are turned away. Don't you have a good idea? I went to Nanhan and did a lot of big things."
Zhou Xuan knew that Xiao Zhou was not praising him for pacifying Qingyuan, but blamed Princess Qingle for killing her first and then reporting. However, he had now understood Xiao Zhou's intentions and was confident. He naturally felt more panic and ashamed on his face, but said, "Auntie, please explain this matter carefully. However, in this cold weather, the aunt has just galloped on horseback. Don't feel the cold. Please go to the small building over there and listen to my nephew's words."
Xiao Zhou Hou felt warm, and said "Yeah", thinking: "Nephew Xuan cares about people. Huozhu said he was careful to take care of the two diseases." Then he kicked off the horse, and the female official on the side quickly brought the brocade fur to the empress.
Xiao Zhou Hou stepped on his long legs and walked towards the small building next to the equestrian field. There was a place for riders to rest temporarily. The charcoal fire inside was red and it was very warm.
Xiao Zhou Hou sat on Hu's bed, and the palace maid brought hot water to clean her face and washed her hands. Xiao Zhou Hou asked them to withdraw, and her mother-in-law wanted to scold her son-in-law.
Zhou Xuan stood aside respectfully, waiting for Xiao Zhou to speak.
Xiao Zhouhou spoke: "That silly child Huozhu was fooled by you, and he was devoted to it. A girl's family actually said she wanted to marry you. You are fine, but it's hard to open her mouth. Are you sure you will eat Huozhu in my family? "
Zhou Xuan said: "My aunt should know the nature of my nephew. How could I be so arrogant and disobedient! My nephew has always been pursuing planning before moving. Since she had been in love with the princess, uh, I have been thinking about good strategies, thinking about how to let my aunt agree to let the princess marry me. My nephew knows it is very difficult, but my nephew loves Huzhu cousin very much. If I don't marry Huzhu cousin, I can't eat it, sleep well, and I'll lose interest in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. That night in Jingyang Palace in Guangling, Huzhu cousin was impulsive and said it out, but I didn't expect it to make my aunt unhappy, making my nephew more anxious-"
Suddenly, the wooden door called affectionately: "Cousin Xuan——"
Princess Qingle, wearing a sable coat, ran in, knelt in front of Xiao Zhou, and cried, "My mother, I heard what Cousin Xuan said. Cousin Xuan is so kind to me. Please don't make things difficult for Cousin Xuan anymore. Huzhu is right and wrong. Cousin Xuan will not marry!"
Queen Zhou was holding a shelf to prepare to train her son-in-law, and had to set some difficulties artificially. It was not easy to marry a princess, right? But now that she was interrupted by her daughter, it seemed inappropriate for her to make things difficult for Zhou Xuan again. She shook her head secretly: "Huzhu is so stupid, she has no scheming!" She said angrily: "Silly child, the queen did not say that she would not let you marry Zhou Xuan, but she just wanted to make him better to you in the future. Get up, you both sit down."
Zhou Xuan thanked his aunt and sat on the left behind Xiao Zhou, and Princess Qingle sat on the right. Princess Qingle's big watery eyes kept staring at Zhou Xuan. If it weren't for her mother's place, she would have pounced onto her cousin Xuan's arms.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Didn't the princess say that the typhoid fever has not been cured? How--"
Princess Qingle glanced at Xiao Zhouhou, smiled charmingly, and said, "I want to try whether Cousin Xuan cares about me or not. I am in good health. Que'er's cousin's wife has gone home." She said to Queen Zhou again, "My mother, let's lift the ban. Cousin Xuan has been turned away."
The little Zhou Hou was helpless, and the daughter was completely uncooperative. She couldn't slap her, so she had to say, "Zhou Xuan, you made great contributions to the south this time. Not only did you say that you had calmed down Qingyuan, but you also brought Huzhu back safely. My aunt is very happy. I ask you, when did you fall in love with Huzhu?"
Zhou Xuan looked at Princess Qingle, and Princess Qingle was flushed on her cheeks, feeling affectionately.
Zhou Xuan said: "I'm not to hide it from my aunt. My nephew was amazed at the first sight of Huzhu's cousin. However, I already knew that Huzhu's cousin would marry a South Han soon. My nephew thought it was a pity that my beautiful princess in Tang State would marry another country. I had no other improper thoughts. Later, I became familiar with Huzhu's cousin and learned about the absurdity of the Southern Han court. Huzhu's cousin was also depressed, so my nephew tried to make Huzhu's cousin happy-"
Princess Qingle thought to herself, "At first you were against me and hit me with a pp. Is this to make me happy?" Then she thought: "It seems yes, I'm quite happy to hit me with a pp. I'm so looking forward to it."
The young Zhou Hou smiled and asked, "Did Nephew Xuan go to Nanhan first think about how to bring Huzhu back?"
Zhou Xuan said: "My nephew always remembers the instructions of his aunt and concubine before leaving-"
Xiao Zhouhou asked: "What did I tell you?"
Zhou Xuan said: "My aunt said, 'If you don't report it, you can let it go without any reason'. My nephews act according to my aunt's oral instructions."
Xiao Zhouhou laughed, his laughter was clear and pleasant, and he said, "Then, you and Huzhu—" Thinking about this matter inconveniently, he changed his words and said, "You have suffered a lot for Huzhu. Since you are in love with each other, Huzhu will be a lifelong entrusted. When are you going to perform the ceremony of choosing?"
Zhou Xuanxi said: "It's all up to the instructions of my aunt and lady."
Xiao Zhouhou said: "Before the New Year, I asked Nacai, Najib, Nazheng, and asked for the five etiquettes of the date."
Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle were both very happy.
Xiao Zhouhou suddenly asked: "Nephew Xuan, when is the wedding date between you and Lin Hanyun?"
Zhou Xuan felt it was not very good and replied: "As soon as the first lunar month is next year, my nephew will set off for Jiangzhou after the New Year and get married to Lin Hanyun in Jiangzhou."
Xiao Zhouhou smiled: "Nephew Xuan, don't you think you're too busy? You're traveling thousands of miles to get married?"
Zhou Xuan said carefully: "The wedding date of my nephew and Lin Hanyun was set in May."
Princess Qingle said: "No, I can't fall behind Lin Hanyun - Queen Mother, did I marry Cousin Xuan before the New Year?"
"Nothing!" The young Zhou Hou scolded: "Where is a princess who gets so hasty marriage? Wouldn't it be a country in other countries?" He said to Zhou Xuan: "Nephew Xuan, you marry Lin Hanyun, your aunt agrees, and your aunt also likes the lively and simple Lin Hanyun, but Lin Hanyun is younger than Huzhu. Marrying Lin Hanyun can be delayed by half a year. It will not be too late for you to marry Huzhu in March and April. What does Xuan think?"
Princess Qingle smiled and looked at Zhou Xuan with a little smug look.
Zhou Xuan's heart sank. He read the letter from Lin Hanyun brought by Lao Dong in Quanzhou. Lin Hanyun was looking forward to him going to Jiangzhou every day. If she pushed her wedding date back because she wanted to marry Princess Qingle, Lin Dai naturally dared not complain, but Lin Hanyun would definitely be sad to death.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan knelt down and said, "My aunt is here, and my nephew and Lin Hanyun's five rituals have been settled. I ask if Jibude's good time is easy to change. Please forgive me."
Xiao Zhouhou rose up and said coldly, "Think carefully, think twice before you go." He stepped out of the door, sat on the phoenix chariot and returned to the palace, and finally calmed down at Hua'e Xianghui. He secretly wondered why he was so angry? Nephew Xuan refused to betray his trust, which was also a virtue! But she had already said that she had not returned to the equestrian arena to apologize to Zhou Xuan, and said to himself, "It's better to bother him, let him understand that marrying a royal princess is not easy, and you should cherish it."
Princess Qingle saw her mother and left angry and complained to Zhou Xuan: "Cousin Xuan, why did you get rid of my mother and run away? This is a problem."
Zhou Xuan got up and brushed his robe and said, "There will be someone who comes first and then comes. How can he go to the line?"
Princess Qingle rolled her eyes and asked, "What team should I join?"
Zhou Xuan said: "Huzhu, you know I like you very much, but I don't like you bullying others by relying on your identity as a princess."
Princess Qingle said aggrievedly: "Cousin Xuan, you are partial. I am older than Lin Hanyun, so I will definitely be the first."
Seeing that there was no one in the wooden house, Zhou Xuan went over to hug Princess Qingle and comfort her, but Princess Qingle would definitely not be left behind Lin Hanyun.
Zhou Xuan said: "But my aunt refused to let us get married before the New Year."
