The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 390 Conspiracy (2)
"It's just a casual chat. The Queen Mother's place is lively, so naturally there is no shortage of aunt here alone." Zhou Xu said lightly, and when he heard the bird chirping non-stop, he stretched out his little finger to tease it a few times. Then a court lady brought over the small dish for feeding, and Zhou Xu squeezed a handful of millet and sprinkled it into the cage.

The Empress Dowager Wei felt very boring when she heard this, but she still said patiently: "The Emperor knows that the Qixi Festival is held by the Ai family for the Emperor, but you are just avoiding it yourself. Didn't you neglect those people?" girls?"

Hearing Zhao Jing's persuasion just now, the little emperor had already seen through some of it, so he said casually: "It's fine if the mother likes them. The son sees that they are all similar, so just follow what the mother wants."

Empress Dowager Wei did not expect Zhou Xu to be so easy to talk today, she was a little surprised, she turned her head and saw that he still had a casual expression on his face, she smiled and said: "Since the emperor said so, the Ai family would like to discuss with the emperor. thing."

After the little emperor finished feeding the sparrow, he was a little curious after hearing this, and returned to the hall with Queen Mother Wei.The palace lady made tea and came in, and the two of them took a sip each, and the Empress Dowager Wei said: "The emperor is not young now, and Ai's family is also old. It is very deserted to live in this palace all day long. If the emperor can choose a concubine as soon as possible, the Ai family will also have a companion."

Zhou Xu raised his brows slightly when he heard this, but when he thought of Zhao Jing's comfort, he also felt a little disgusted, thought for a while and said, "Didn't I say that? As long as my mother likes it, I will listen to my mother's everything." Arrangements with the emperor."

Empress Dowager Wei was a little puzzled in her heart. Zhou Xu strongly opposed it when she talked about the matter after Li Li a few times ago. Why is she a little bit more pleasant today? Yes, the queen is still a girl from the Kang family, as for the concubines, which one does the emperor like? Tell the Ai family about it?"

Empress Dowager Wei originally thought that Zhou Xu and Lu Xinyue had been friends for a while, and she probably wanted Lu Xinyue to enter the palace. Although Empress Dowager Wei didn't like Lu Xinyue herself, if she could make Zhou Xu happier in this matter , she was also willing to compromise, but who knew that Zhou Xu lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "I don't have anyone I like, so you don't have to ask me about it."

Hearing what he said, Empress Dowager Wei was a little curious, but she didn't ask any further, she smiled and said: "Since the emperor doesn't like it, the Ai family does have one, I'm afraid the emperor will like it when the time comes. "

Zhou Xu was a little surprised when he heard the words, he raised his head and asked, "Which girl is the queen mother looking for?" He is still young now, and it would be a compromise to accept that Kang Ning was brought into the palace. , I'm afraid I'm getting upset.

"What does the emperor think of the second girl of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?" The Empress Dowager Wei asked with a smile, but without waiting for Zhou Xu's reply, she just said, "Although this is the first time Ai's family has seen that girl today, they also think she is well-behaved." She is sensible, honest and kind, although she is not the most outstanding in appearance, she has a gentle temper, which is the best."

The Empress Dowager Wei looked at Zhou Xu's brows and eyes that seemed to wrinkle slightly, and continued with a smile: "The most important thing is that she is your aunt's niece. If she enters the palace at that time, your aunt will be able to enter the palace from time to time. Are you here?" The Empress Dowager Wei was still sighing inwardly as she spoke, as a mother, she was not as important to the emperor as a court lady, but she was a bit aggrieved when she said it.

Hearing this, Zhou Xu's wandering eyes flickered for a moment, revealing a little bit of excitement. He held the teacup and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "The second girl, I'm here today!" See you too, she looks neat, but..." Although Zhou Xu didn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman, looking at Xu Xian's appearance, he knew that she must not be a flexible and easy-going person. Material for bullying.It's just... If she really enters the palace, Zhao Jing must be worried. At that time, visiting the palace every now and then will naturally be indispensable. How many times can I see her more.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Since mother likes it, let her be a concubine and let her enter the palace." Anyway... with my own protection, even if she is weaker, it's nothing. Anyway, if that Kang Ning dared to bully Xu Xian, he would treat her coldly and make her the empress of the cold palace.

Seeing that Zhou Xu agreed, Empress Dowager Wei showed a smile on her brows. She flipped the armor on her little finger slightly, raised her head and said with a smile: "Since the emperor agreed, the Ai family will recruit tomorrow." The officials of the Qin Tianjian have entered the palace to see what auspicious days will be in the second half of the year, and the palace should also start preparations."

Zhou Xu was not in a hurry about this matter. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Wei was so anxious, he simply said, "You don't have to worry about the Queen Mother. I don't know anything about Jiangnan's affairs yet. I don't have the intention of getting married. If the Queen Mother wants to choose an auspicious date, just go to next year." Look!"
