Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 230

Hey, I know another idiom, I will tell my father later.The complacent prince thought in his heart that he is now at the age where he likes to show off, and he often wants people to praise him.

Knowing his heart, Shuning, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Emperor, the four lied to the little prince to learn a lot of things, but he didn't realize it himself, thinking that his own was really good, no wonder everyone likes it him.As a result, the prince's learning mood became even higher, and he even felt like he couldn't stop.

"Sister De Concubine, I haven't seen you out for a walk recently, but what's going on in the palace?" Shu Ning and Concubine De were chatting in the pavilion, while the little prince was outside destroying flowers, he wanted to pick flowers for the concubine and the others.

Every spring, summer and autumn, many imperial concubines like to pick some flowers and hairpins on their heads. The little prince remembers them when he sees them a lot, and often picks flowers for the empress dowager, empress and Shuning to wear.

"Cut this one off."

The prince pointed to a plump flower and said, for a child of the prince's age, the biggest is definitely the best.The flower plate of this peony is big enough, so he specially picks peony clippers.The eunuchs who were waiting on the sidelines were about to cry, but His Royal Highness is not something he can stop!
These peonies are fine products, and they are rare to see outside, so they were cut off by the prince. As the eunuch who has taken care of them for several years, can he not feel distressed?

Moreover, the crown prince specifically targeted such famous products as Wei Zi and Yao Huang, and the crown prince didn't even glance at other common varieties.It is vision.The eunuch who is in charge of flowers and plants is still thinking about these things, should he be said to be insane?
Fortunately, the prince was taught well. Although he cut some famous products, he didn't cut them randomly. He just cut a few flowers and then stopped.

Counting, there are seven flowers in total, which is enough.

One flower for the imperial grandmother, one flower for the queen, one flower for the concubine mother, one flower for the empress concubine and the eldest sister, plus Qin Shurong and the second sister, just right.

Originally, the prince didn't want to give it to Concubine De and Qin Shurong, but who asked them to raise the two older sisters!This face still has to be given, not for others, but for a few sisters and brothers.

The two elder sisters were sent to the study, the queen and queen mother were also sent by Hou Lin himself, as for Qin Shurong, he also sent a court lady to send them, and he carried two flowers towards Shuning and Dehua in the pavilion. The concubine went.

"Mother, Dai Hua."

The prince held up the tray.

"Is this for your mother?"

Shuning looked at the peony queen Wei Zi on the plate, and nodded in satisfaction.There are also kings and queens in this peony variety. Obviously, the king was given to the queen by the prince.As for the Queen Mother, Shu Ning could figure out that it must be a famous product.The Wei Zi and Yao Huang are too bright and not suitable for the queen mother, so the crown prince should give them light-colored famous products.

"Mother, my son will wear it for you."

The little prince stood on the stool next to Shuning, holding a Wei Zi flower and inserted it in Shuning's hair with shaking hands.

On the other side, Concubine De held a peony in her hand, looked at the harmonious mother and child in front of her, and put it on her temples gracefully.

A three-year-old knows what kind of flower matches who. The imperial concubine and the queen obviously put a lot of thought into the prince. Her eldest princess can only cry at this age!As expected of a prince who was born with visions.

Shu Ning helped Fuhua and looked at her young son, the child in the palace. Even though she tried her best to maintain the prince's childhood, the prince still lost his innocence.At a young age, he knows how to read words and deeds, and he is no worse than the outsiders.

But even so, Shu Ning couldn't stop it. The best protection in the palace is not to keep him innocent forever, but to let him grow by himself.It is impossible for anyone to be by someone's side for the rest of their lives, and accidents will happen no matter how we guard against them.So the best defense is to let him understand. When the time comes, he will also know how to rescue himself.

Shu Ning took her son for a walk back, and on the way, she met court ladies who sent people to thank the prince. They were all from the Eldest Princess, the Second Princess, and Qin Shurong.

Thinking back to what Concubine De told her just now, Shu Ning was a little reluctant, but she had to agree.After all, the eldest princess is indeed not young, and it's time to prepare for her wedding.It would take a lot of time just to select a candidate, plus the preparation time, in fact, there are only a few years left before the eldest princess gets married, and if she comes back later, it will be the in-laws, not the royal family.

"Concubine De wants us to help the eldest princess keep an eye on her son-in-law?"

The queen wanted to make a head-scratching gesture that was very unworthy of being a queen. She had done everything, but she had never done anything to choose a son-in-law for the princess.The oldest children of the emperor are the Eldest Princess and the Eldest Prince. She doesn't care about the Eldest Prince. The Emperor himself knows to marry him, and the rest is a matter for the Ministry of Rites.But the Eldest Princess and the Second Princess can't do it, they have to be handled by the Empress herself.

"Yeah, choosing a son-in-law is not about choosing the head. You can choose whichever one you like. At least you have to investigate carefully in terms of character, interpersonal relationship, and family background. Concubine De has no connections. I don’t know anything, so I want to ask us.”

In fact, compared to the queen, the concubine De wants to entrust her to the concubine, after all, the concubine has her natal family in the capital, so it sounds convenient to call her!But this matter can't bypass the queen, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the mother of the country. After all, in name, the queen is the mother of all princes and princesses.

But thinking that she was only a few years older than the eldest princess, and she was able to choose a son-in-law for her as an elder, Shu Ning always felt a little embarrassing!
"I see, then this matter will trouble the concubine even more."

The Empress also knew De Concubine's intentions, so she simply handed over the matter to the Empress Gui. She really didn't get involved in outside matters, especially inquiring about other people's children. I really don't know about my son.As for their mother, the queen might be a little more familiar.

"My concubine knows." Shu Ning took over the hard work. Not only did she want to look for the eldest princess, the second princess must not forget either. After all, the age difference between the second princess and the eldest princess is not that big. Just explain it once!It saves her from having to work again in two or three years. Anyway, if she points to her married partner, she won't be able to escape.

Of course, the royal family also pays attention to your love and my willingness when marrying people. Before making an order, the emperor will ask the opinions of the other party and the family. If they agree, he will refer to the marriage.
