Emperor Jingyuan has been busy with affairs in the previous court recently and has not been to the harem for quite some time.

The queen was also a little surprised when she heard the singing. But he still quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed and said, "See your Majesty."

Emperor Jingyuan strode into the palace and helped the queen up. The Queen propped herself up and said, "Why are Your Majesty here at this time? Are you ready for dinner?"

"Never." Emperor Jingyuan's voice was also a little tired. He had been discussing matters with Liangtai since early in the morning, and even had just eaten some lunch casually.

The queen then smiled and said, "It just so happens that I haven't used it yet. Why don't your majesty accompany me and use it together?"

When Emperor Jingyuan entered the palace, the palace attendants lit the candlesticks in the palace one by one, and then filed out. After hearing what she said, the female officer beside the queen also hurried to the small kitchen.

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the chiming clock on the side and said with some surprise: "It's this hour and Zitong hasn't had dinner yet? What happened in the inner palace today?"

The queen has three meals a day at regular times. In the past, she would have finished her dinner at this time. But as soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Jingyuan frowned and said, "But what happened to Jianing?"

The queen has kept the inner palace in order over the years, and the emperor's harem has always been peaceful and peaceful. Only this year Jianing made trouble again and again because of her marriage.

Seeing the tired look on his wife's face, Emperor Jingyuan naturally immediately thought of his troubled daughter.

The queen said in a helpless tone: "Jianing told Your Majesty some time ago that she hoped Marquis Pingyang would come to marry you, but you didn't agree. So she smashed a lot of things in Yeting Palace today."

Emperor Jingyuan snorted coldly and said, "It's because I pampered her too much in the past. The border is unstable these days. Lintai has to go to Youzhou at any time. Where can I find the time to send her to Danyang?"

After saying that, he softened his voice, patted the queen's hand, and said apologetically: "I have been busy with affairs in the past, and Zitong has been very hard on this matter."

The Queen glared at Emperor Jingyuan and said, "Your Majesty was busy with business in the previous dynasty, so what are these trivial matters in the inner palace? Besides, it is a concubine's duty to educate her children, and Jianing just has the mentality of a child."

In fact, to be fair, the queen was very understanding of Princess Jinyang's rejection of Princess Jianing.

Not to mention that the relationship between their sisters-in-law has always been very harmonious, and she also has two sons under her knees. From her perspective on choosing a daughter-in-law, she would not want to marry a young lady with Jianing's personality.

It's just that the princess is a princess after all, so she naturally has the capital to be arrogant. What's more, the prince of Danyang County also considers the family, and the princess of the county may not actually want to marry such a daughter-in-law.

It's just that the descendants of noble clans are mostly unable to control their marriages. There is only one eldest princess of Jinyang in the world, who can refuse the princess's descent if she can.

Although Emperor Jingyuan was busy in the previous court, he knew more or less about Jianing's temperament, so he naturally knew that what the queen said about the child was not the truth.

It's just that he thought that Jianing was getting married soon after all, so it was not good to make her look bad at this time. Moreover, Emperor Jingyuan had also met this second son of Prince Danyang. He was indeed a talented person. Maybe Jianing would be able to play the piano and harp with him after the engagement.

The queen's small kitchen was not extravagant and wasteful. The emperor and empress sat and ate like ordinary couples. After dinner, the couple sat in the bedroom and talked together.

Now that Jianing was mentioned, Emperor Jingyuan naturally thought of Xiao Yunyue. He and the Queen had always treated her as their own children.

Emperor Jingyuan took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, Lintai is already old. I don't know what kind of young lady this child likes. Why do I see that Jinyang is not in a hurry at all." The queen pursed her lips and smiled, The eldest princess of Jinyang came into the palace to talk to her a few days ago, so she knew something about it: "The eldest princess came into the palace a few days ago and said that this child Lintai already has someone he likes."

Emperor Jingyuan became interested when he heard this: "Whose little lady is it?" But the queen shook her head and said: "You don't know what this kid Lintai's mouth is? If he doesn't want to tell, then no one can really ask. . The eldest princess said that he wants to wait until he returns from this battle before asking Your Majesty to decide on the marriage."

In fact, when she talked about this with the queen, the eldest princess had already guessed that it was Yuan Miaoyi. It's just that she is also a measured person and knows her son's thoughts, so she pretends not to know in front of the queen.

And revealing this matter to the queen also hinted that the palace no longer had to show Xiao Yunyue.

Emperor Jingyuan also knew Xiao Yunyue's temperament, but most of the children under his knees had blossomed and bear fruit, only Xiao Yunyue was still hanging on.

At this moment, when I heard that Xiao Yunyue's iron tree was blooming and the red luan stars were moving, I was slightly relieved. He was always worried that the child would end up alone without anyone caring about him.

On this point, Emperor Jingyuan had the same idea as Princess Jinyang. Regardless of family background, as long as Xiao Yunyue really likes him.

I think the person who can impress this child can't be too bad.

The most noble couple in the world were talking privately in the palace, and the same was true in the eldest princess's mansion.

Although the eldest princess of Jinyang hid the truth from the palace, she did not hide it from the person next to her. It's just that Xiao Yinghuai has no impression of the young ladies in Beijing, as long as his wife likes her.

However, he still knew about the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, and he had met both Yuan Lingheng and Pei Zhao in the palace. Xiao Yinghuai had a very good impression of these uncles and nephews. In this case, the second wife of the Yuan family is not bad at all.

Unknowingly, when everyone in the capital thought of Rong'an Hou's Mansion, they no longer mentioned Yuan Fuwei, but put Yuan Lingheng first.

Mrs. Yuantai has gradually let go as Yuan Lingheng returns to Beijing. She was low on energy, but Yuan Miaoyi took good care of the house, so the madam often neglected things in the house.

The convenience for Xiao Yunyue is that he often uses Yuan Lingheng's name to visit her, but Mrs. Tai never thought that he came for Yuan Miaoyi.

Xiao Yunyue had already crossed the road in front of Yuan Lingheng, and he was not sure when he would go to Youzhou, so he naturally seized every opportunity to see him.

People in the capital also knew that Marquis Pingyang had a good relationship with the Crown Prince Rongan. Moreover, Xiao Yunyue occasionally went to the Duke Zhen Guo's mansion to look for the Crown Prince Zhen Guo, so outsiders did not think he was being deliberate.

Just like that, no one in Beijing noticed this.

Although Yuan Lingheng was reluctant, it was mainly because he had not yet accepted that Xiao Yunyue wanted to marry his sister. But I am happy to see my sister. It didn't stop him in the end.

Xiao Yunyue had nothing to do today, so he ran to Rong'an Hou's mansion again in the afternoon. After staying at home and having dinner, Xiao Yunyue invited Yuan Miaoyi to walk in the small garden in Yuan Lingheng's courtyard despite Yuan Lingheng's frequent glances.

"I heard Ziyu call you Jiaojiao, is this your petite name?"
