Foster son and husband

Chapter 288 Engagement
309 engagement
Meimei has no objection to getting Heng'er engaged to Zhao Min. In fact, she had this idea, but she didn't say it out because she thought the child was still young.Xu Junying's children are missed by the emperor. Instead of marrying the princess, it is better to marry the princess. This princess was raised by himself since he was a child. He is as caring as his own mother and daughter. He is also of royal blood. Can it be considered a marriage with the royal family?
Right now, they hit it off with King Qi, and Xu Junying saw that the two of them still had the same thoughts and views as they did back then, and felt a little sour in her heart: If Meimei's stand was not firm back then and she followed him, then they should also... Xu Junying bit Gritting her teeth, she pinched herself secretly, and raised her eyes to meet Meimei's gentle gaze on her, with a doting smile on her face.

It is well known that the king of Qi behaved disorderly, kept male favorites and was greedy for male sex, but the facts also proved that the king of Qi did not delay in having children because of this. The person who shared such a good relationship is also confused in retrospect. It is true that they have played together, but I have never seen him having sex with any man in public.

Xu Junying knew the secret of King Qi by accident. Sude finally made up his mind to restrain his behavior. Under the queen's arrangement, he married a fourth-rank Beijing official who was over [-] years old and recently lost his wife in a flash marriage. A daughter, Su Deconscience, who became a mother, found out that Song Jiulang and other male pets were released. Xu Junying didn't bother to send a male pet in person, and left the matter to Bai Zhan to send Song Jiulang back to his hometown safely. Bai Zhan loves to learn, and he can't help but tell Hou Ye about Song Jiulang's departure from Beijing when he comes back. Song Jiulang was drunk, and said with a sad face that the person who was reluctant was King Qi, and that many people were actually killed by King Qi. Confused, including himself, he has been played with by King Qi. King Qi is indeed masculine, but he doesn't take it seriously. He can sleep with male pets in the same bed, take off other people's clothes, caress each other, but he doesn't Ken went one step further, torturing people until he was burning with desire, and drove them away...

Maybe there is only one Jian Yu in his heart, a dirty man in the world, only Jian Yu can achieve the fusion of soul and body with him?King Qi's ambiguous feelings for Meimei for so many years made Xu Junying very upset. Is it really that similar?He arrested Shan Yong to ask, and Shan Yong told the truth: Jian Yu is a peerless beautiful man with a magnificent temperament, a beautiful face, a changeable temperament, and a flexible temperament. Mrs. Hou in men's clothing does not say that she is exactly the same as him, but she is really similar, especially that A pair of star-like eyes, Gu Panjian is exactly the same as Jian Yu.Seeing Qin Er on the snow back then, not only King Qi, but everyone around him was stunned for a while, even if he was wearing a mask and turned into Cen Meimei, King Qi still grabbed her out with those eyes.

Xu Junying is not worried that Meimei will be snatched away, the husband and wife have already merged into one, and no one can do without the other, but the feeling that the treasures in the family are missed is always lingering, like a harmless thorn in the flesh. Small wooden thorns, stimulate you from time to time, very uncomfortable.

Subconsciously, he didn't want to get married with Prince Qi's mansion, but Meimei made a decision, and he couldn't object to it face to face. After King Qi left, he said to Meimei:
"The marriage of the children of the Tian family is decided by the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen. Even if King Qi is Min'er's father, he can't make his own decisions. I'm afraid this matter is not so easy to settle?"

Meimei looked at him thoughtfully: "My husband has been silent just now, don't you like Min'er as a wife? Do you really want Heng'er to marry a princess back?"

Xu Junying said: "I didn't think that way, I just remind you that this matter may not be possible."

Meimei smiled slyly: "Husband, don't worry, this matter is [-]% possible, as long as you don't sabotage it secretly!"

"Look at what you said, how can I destroy it, and how can I destroy it?"

"What's going on in your mind that I don't know? You are competing with King Qi, and you don't want to marry him! You might as well tell you Xu Junying, I talked to Heng'er, and told him about the ten princesses of the emperor. You have to marry one, or marry Miner, let him decide for himself, he has seen princesses before, but he said he doesn’t like any of them, he likes Miner, and is willing to marry Miner—you are not allowed to interfere in this matter, you can’t run away from the emperor Whatever you say in front of you, let nature take its course, let the king of Qi do it, don't worry, the king of Qi will do it!"

Xu Junying was suppressed by Meimei for life like this, and she honestly watched the changes and stopped being a hindrance, but she hoped that this matter would not happen.

Among the many dragon sons, the emperor valued the prince the most, and he had to see the prince in person every day. Naturally, he was no stranger to Xu Jiheng who was next to the prince. The 11-year-old boy was very like a father, handsome, dignified and quiet, and what was even more rare was his good character and learning. You, the eldest prince is more than one year old, but he seems to be much more mature than the prince. The emperor admired him a lot. He once chatted with Xu Junying, intending to betroth his favorite nine-year-old third princess, Yurui, to Heng'er. Xu Junying didn't tell Meimei. , because it is limited to small talk, he has always been reluctant to talk about undecided matters.

But he underestimated King Qi's determination. King Qi not only used the queen mother, but also found the queen together with Lin Runan. The marriage of royal daughters has always been decided by the queen mother and queen. When the emperor got the news, he couldn't stop it. He couldn't bear to watch his daughter Yurui cry bitterly, but there was nothing he could do.

Mei Mei felt that there was no suspense in this matter. The Queen Mother doted on the King of Qi, and Lin Runan was the Queen's caring person. After the appointment of the Crown Prince, the Emperor never met a concubine like Concubine Shu who could make him lose his mind. No one dared to overestimate their capabilities and challenge the queen, even if the two most authoritative women in the royal family came forward, they still couldn't decide on this marriage?
It's just that after the marriage of the two children was settled, she started to plan ahead: After all, the two kids are so young, what if their relationship changes when they grow up?

Observing secretly, he found that the two children did not show any special behavior. Zhao Min was still the same as before. When he came to the Hou Mansion, he followed Heng Er as a matter of course, and never left. I really can't tell the difference between his treatment of Zhao Min and his treatment of Meiyi and Meijuan. The difference is that he often directs Zhao Min to help take care of Xue'er who is running around and Cheng'er who is not walking steadily.

Meimei's worried expression made Xu Junying feel amused: "Isn't it what you want, is it still like this? Don't worry, the Xu family boys are all responsible. Now that they are settled, Henger will treat Miner well."

"I hope so. One thing is finally resolved, but we still have so many sons, as well as good intentions and beautiful wives... Husband, please think of a way with me, especially the two daughters, we can't let them enter the palace!"

Xu Junying embraced her: "I see, take your time, don't think too much, and take care of your baby!"

"Well, do you think this matter should be let the elders in the mansion know?"

Xu Junying pondered, and sighed slightly: "I'll go later in the evening, you should rest well!"

The elders of the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Xu, who is in her seventies, is still in good health, and seems to be living more vigorously, but people who have contacts with the Hou Mansion rarely see her. Everyone knows that Mrs. Xu is getting old. She was unwell and not suitable for seeing guests, and her Jinhuatang was completely silent after Xu Xiaowan and Xu Xiaomin got married. Xu Xiaojuan had disappeared for many years. The position sent the couple far away, and Zhuang Yulan gave birth to a stupid son and two daughters. She felt ashamed, didn't go out, and didn't dare to visit the old lady. The second master and the second wife often Come to accompany her, the grandchildren come to say hello from time to time, but no longer voluntarily stay here for dinner, except for the holidays, they just come to get together, the great-grandchildren are sent by their parents to say hello every day, but they are all mischievous , either by catching the rare and exotic animals in the yard to pluck their hair, or by climbing trees and breaking branches, destroying the old lady's favorite precious flowers and plants. No longer have the energy to scold their fathers a few times: "You monkeys!"

Only the mother of Hua was furious and furious: "Find me their parents and pay me for my flower and bird forest!"

Mrs. Zheng in Qiuhua Courtyard still looks like that, she can't do without the medicine pot, her hands and feet are weak, and she can't speak. Come to accompany her for an hour, rain or shine, this is what Meimei taught him since he was a child. Xu Junying later set a time for him, allowing Mrs. Zheng to live to see her grandson grow up, but she is not allowed to leak any information. In this life, Mrs. Zheng can only live like this.

The two concubines, Lin and Zhou, each live with their sons and enjoy their grandchildren in their old age.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, and in the late autumn when the autumn sun was weakening, the Hou Mansion began to pick lotus leaves in various lotus ponds again. Children of all ages were clamoring for work, while the guards were left to dry.

Meimei knits in the upper room, the girls knit the children's sweaters, and she has to do the close-fitting sweaters for her man herself.

The steward came to report in a hurry, and the empress came.

Hurry up to go out to greet her, but the queen has already come to the gate of the courtyard, she smiled and waved her hands to refuse to salute, then pulled her inside, came to the lotus pond, pointed at a group of noisy children and said:

"Picking lotus leaves again? How did this happen?"

Meimei smiled: "It's like this every year, they are having fun!"

In the small pool, there were two small wooden boats, several boys were busy on them, and there was a group of children on the shore, chattering and chattering non-stop. The queen looked at it twice, and suddenly exclaimed, she was so proud of it. The eldest son, His Royal Highness the crown prince sat on a small wooden boat, frantically picking up the lotus leaves whose stems had been cut off and fell to the surface of the water, skillfully flattened them, stacked them together, and gathered them into a thick stack, then waved his hands to the back The two princes rowed the boat to the floating corridor, and immediately a delicate girl in a pink dress and a bun squatted down by the fence, and stretched out her hands to take the lotus leaves from the prince's raised hands. The smile is like a flower, and the voice is sweet and clear:

"Brother Prince, you are awesome, you are so capable!"

The prince's smile became even brighter: "Beauty, I can pick more, just wait!"

"Ok!"

The second prince shouted from behind: "Beautiful, I also have... a lot!"

"No! I only want the crown prince to pick it!"

Several other princes from the prince's family also joined in the fun: "I have good intentions too..."

"Go aside!"

"Give it to Meijuan!"

A girl with the same bun and a light green dress stood by the fence, never moving her hands. Hearing this, she said, "Don't come here, I don't care about broken leaves!"

The same pearl and jade voice, but more soft and tactful, the queen laughed out loud: "This beauty is indeed very real, among the children in the courtyard, she is the only one who is the clearest!"

Meimei was a little embarrassed: "This child is even more snobbish than her sister."

The queen looked at the two girls under the floating corridor again, and said in thought: "The prince likes good intentions since he was a child, and he keeps talking about good intentions in the palace, and if he has fun, he only needs to leave it to good intentions. Alas, actually I don't want to talk about good intentions." I think Meijuan's temper is more suitable for him!"

Meimei looked at the queen vigilantly, what do you mean, you don't want to have both, do you?That's not okay!
"The children grew up together, Meiyi gets closer to the prince, but Meijuan gets closer to her cousin!"

"Children of the Qin family?"

The queen frowned slightly: "I've seen that child before, and he was born really well. It's very similar to the No. [-] Scholar of the year, but... Sigh! Meimei, the children are young, let's not be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry !"

Meimei's body was slightly stiff, and she said that she was not in a hurry, which meant that Meijuan could not easily get engaged to anyone.

The queen in front of me is no longer the weak Sun Huiyun back then. She is now not only physically strong and energetic, but also capable and decisive in managing the harem. The emperor has favored concubines one after another. If you dare to have the slightest thought of being disrespectful to the queen, you have to be careful and ask for blessings.

Such a queen is a very good backer, but she can't afford to offend her. The sons don't care. Except for the prince and the fifth prince, the queen has no princesses. She doesn't like any of the princesses born to concubines, Meimei. If she doesn't want to marry the princess as a wife, she can completely do it through the queen's refusal, but the premise is to give her two beautiful, ice-snow and smart daughters to the queen as a wife, she can't bear it!

The queen just stopped by to visit Meimei, sat down and drank a cup of tea, chatted a few words and then left, not disturbing the children, but told the palace guards by the pool:
"Look carefully, don't let the prince and the fifth prince make any mistakes!"

Then he searched the two sons in the pool with loving eyes, and then escorted out of the house by Meimei.

Mei Mei kept sending the queen to the phoenix chariot, the queen took her hand and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that the prince loves to come to your house, Qin Tianjian has just said that the new house that the late emperor bestowed on the Hou's mansion is a blessed land , gathering the aura of heaven and earth...Look at you, the sons you gave birth to are all intelligent, clever, handsome and energetic. I have never heard of a woman who gave birth to twins twice in all dynasties. Yanguan Jingcheng, Meiyi and Meifang are just over two years old, and they already have a small appearance... Are these two children still with Runan?"

"Here, it's been two days since Ru Nan carried her away. The husband and wife are just as reckless. Last night when Jun Ying went to pick them up, they actually hid and disappeared. The child's father was so angry that he wanted to tear down the Qi Palace."

"Hahaha! I can't blame them, Meiyi Meifang is so cute, she's like a New Year's doll in a painting, um, go back and tell the emperor - our husband and wife will also hug and raise them for a few days!"

As soon as Meimei got off the phoenix chariot, she was shocked when she heard the words, and turned around to chase after her: "No! Empress Empress..."

The Queen laughed so hard that her branches trembled, she waved her hands: "Go, go..."
