The sky was as clear as a piece of blue paper, and a few thin white clouds floated slowly in the air with the wind.

Jiaojiao sat on the edge of the pool, coughing melon seeds, and said to Liu Er: "Niang, after seeing so many places, I still think the scenery of Baihuayuan is the best. Even the royal garden can't compare with the garden of flowers. "

Liu Er leaned back on the bench and said with a smile, "you like the garden. Naturally, you think the scenery there is unique. But for others, the view of the royal garden is unique in the world. " Royal Garden, which is the back garden of the emperor, is comparable to other places.

Jiaojiao smiles and takes another melon seed. After spitting out the shell, Jiaojiao said, "mother, my grandfather and grandmother are so old, can't they live in Baihua garden all the time?" She thinks that it's better for Yunqing and Yuxi to go back to the palace. She really can't. She should let a grandson take care of the two old people. Jiaojiao wanted to take care of them, but she didn't say it. She has four uncles and so many princes and grandchildren that it's not her turn to take care of a married niece.

"Your uncle mentioned it long ago, but your grandmother didn't want to. She said she was used to being with your grandfather. Many people, she will not be used to Liu'er knows that this is an excuse. The root cause is that Yuxi is in trouble. Those princes, many people want to live in Baihuayuan, in order to win the favor of her parents and get benefits. It's a pity that this idea can't be concealed from her mother. At the end of the day, all these people were defeated.

Jiaojiao is no longer a young and ignorant girl. How can she not know that there are many ways in it. She didn't want to discuss this topic with Liu er. She changed the topic with a smile: "Niang, at the beginning of the year, you didn't say that my aunt would come back in spring. Why didn't she come back in May?"

Liu Er shook his head and said, "I think it's delayed."

"Niang, after my aunt returns to Beijing this time, she will not return to Tongcheng again, will she?" Her aunt has been guarding the border town for more than 20 years. Now that she is old, it's time to go back to Beijing.

Liu Er says with a smile: "this Niang is also not sure, have to see your aunt's meaning." Yun Qing had a serious illness a few days ago. After he got well, he began to worry that he would not see several children before he died. Kai Hao know cloud engine worry, let jujube back. As for whether to go back, Liu Er is not sure.

The mother and daughter murmured for a long time, and then saw pomegranate's daughter Xiangying come over: "Princess Chang, just got a message that the emperor appointed Xu Wenchang governor of Guangdong and Guangxi." Although Liu Er didn't participate in politics, she was very concerned about the government. What's the matter with the court? She said with a smile: "even if he is the chief assistant now, it's also the matter of the Xu family. It has nothing to do with us. "

As a result, Jiaojiao received an invitation from the Xu family the next day. Because the beginning of next month is Mrs. Xu's 60th birthday, early friends with the Xu family have received the invitation. Jiaojiao also knows about it.

Holding the invitation, she said with a silver red face: "princess, what do you mean by Chen Xiangxue? For you, princess? "

Xu Wenchang served in the Imperial Academy for three years, but he didn't spend much time in the Academy, but he often went to the imperial palace. Three years later, he became the magistrate of Sipin. There is no speed of promotion in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that his starting point is too high. Although everyone envies him, no one opposes him. Three years ago, Xu Wenchang was transferred back to the capital to serve as the left servant of the household department.

In recent years, the Xu family has held several large banquets and entertained many guests. However, Jiaojiao was transferred back to Beijing from Yunnan with Du Zhaozhang at the beginning of the year, so she didn't receive the post from Xu family.

The reason why Yinhong thinks that the Xu family is provocative is that the invitation to the banquet was sent out by the Xu family half a month ago. Now Xu Wenchang has just been appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Xu family has sent such a post. It's hard for people to think about it.

Jiaojiao said with a smile, "if it's a demonstration, you'll know when you go." Chen Xiangxue is a smart man and should not do such a thing. However, there is no absolute. Maybe she was a little forgetful after her success and wanted to show off in front of her.

Yinhong was a little surprised: "princess, are you going to old lady Xu's birthday party?" In addition to a few very close, the general invitation Jiaojiao basic will not go.

"Anyway, nothing happened recently. Let's see what the Xu family is singing?" After Xu Wenchang was appointed as the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi, it was obviously ill intentioned to give her an invitation.

Yinhong knows that Jiaojiao is determined to join in the fun, but she doesn't raise any objection.

But Du Zhaozhang knew about it and said with a smile, "don't go if you don't want to. We are not afraid to offend the Xu family."

Jiaojiao said with a smile: "people have sent out war posts. If I don't go, it's too much advice. They don't want to see me repent, so I'll satisfy them. "

After more than ten years of marriage, how can Du Zhaozhang not know that Jiaojiao didn't really like Xu Wenchang: "you can go if you want, but you must take Wei Feng with you." This Wei Feng is the charming female guard given by Du Zhaozhang. When Jiaojiao goes out, Wei Feng will follow.

Jiaojiao thinks that Du Zhaozhang is too careful, but her husband's care is very helpful to her.

On the birthday of Mrs. Xu, Jiaojiao gets up early to dress up.

Du Zhaozhang gets up at the beginning of Maoshi every day to practice, but Jiaojiao sleeps until the end of Maoshi every day. Only when she is a guest or a guest, will she get up early to dress up. Jiao Jiao's habit is actually influenced by Liu er.

When the family finished their breakfast, Jiao Jiao saw that Du Zhaozhang didn't go on duty and asked with a smile, "what's the matter? Don't worry about me

Du Zhaozhang said, "I sent you to the Xu family, and then to the imperial guards." Now Du Zhaozhang is the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor. Although there is no comparison with Xu Wenchang, his future is also very good.

However, many people say that Du Zhaozhang's ability to win the emperor's attention is a delicate light. In this regard, Du Zhaozhang is one of the laughs. If he doesn't have the ability, it's no use touching anyone's light.

Jiaojiao happily said: "if so, it can really give me a long face." Sent by her husband in person, outsiders must envy it! If you go to other people, it doesn't matter. You can go to the Xu family, which is very necessary.

Du Zhaozhang also had a purpose to send Jiaojiao away. Many people say that Jiao Jiao's failure to marry Xu Wenchang is her loss, and that she will regret it in the future. He will let these years see how happy Jiaojiao is.

This woman, it takes a long time to dress up. Du Zhaozhang had been used to it for a long time and took a book to read it.

More than half an hour later, Jiaojiao is good.

Du Zhaozhang looked at Jiaojiao dressed up and said with a smile, "it's beautiful." One of his friends, who had been close friends with his family, told me that if he could often boast about his daughter-in-law, that she was beautiful and virtuous. The daughter-in-law is happy, you say your life will be better.

This method really works very well. For more than ten years, husband and wife seldom blush.

Jiaojiao raised her head slightly and said with pride, "that's the way. If it wasn't for my mother's saying that there was no need to make too much publicity, I would have been the first beauty in the capital in those years. What's the matter with Chen Xiangxue? "

After talking and laughing, the couple got up and went to the Xu family. Du Zhaozhang rode a horse and rode a carriage.

Xu Wenchang was deeply loved and valued by the emperor. Otherwise, he would not have been the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at a young age. Such a political upstart is naturally sought after by many people, so most of the guests invited to old lady Xu's 60th birthday are here.

Jiaojiao is in a luxury carriage with two horses. When she gets on the road, pedestrians or other carriages will give way automatically.

Such a carriage naturally attracted people's attention. When she got out of the carriage, she saw many people watching her. But she has been the focus of people since she was a child, so she is not uncomfortable.

A young girl also happened to get out of the carriage and was surprised to see Jiaojiao.

When Jiaojiao entered the gate, the girl asked the woman beside her in a low voice: "mother, who is this? It's beautiful. " Not only beautiful, but also powerful.

The little girl's mother had seen Jiaojiao in school before. Hearing this, he said softly, "this is princess yaocen. You haven't met her because she has been working with her husband all these years. At the beginning of the year, he was transferred back to Beijing. " Jiaojiao only invited her relatives and friends to have a meal when she returned to Beijing.

The little girl suddenly said, "it turns out that she is princess yaocen who has rejected Lord Xu! Niang, how beautiful princess yaocen is No wonder Xu Zhuangyuan fell in love with her at first sight!

After Xu Wenchang became an official, everything went smoothly. The only thing that didn't go well was the failure of the two courtships on that day. Although Jiaojiao is not in the capital, Xu Wenchang is so conspicuous that there are many legends about her in the capital.

The woman warned, "if you want to do this again, I won't take you out next time."

The little girl quickly shut up.

Du Zhaozhang sent Jiaojiao to the gate and said, "if there is nothing wrong in the palace, I'll take you home."

Jiaojiao nodded with a smile: "OK." If a husband wants to act, he should be given the opportunity to act. Otherwise, I'll be jealous again.

Over the years, it seems that Du Zhaozhang is very free and easy, but Jiaojiao knows that he cares. Otherwise, Du Zhaozhang would not have gone to Xihai and Yunnan, two remote places that many people did not want to go. According to his father, the more remote and backward the place, the more political achievements it can make. In recent years, Du Zhaozhang has performed very well. If not, it would not be entrusted by the emperor's uncle.

Du Zhaozhang also told Jiaojiao not to drink at the banquet. Until Jiaojiao nodded, he left with satisfaction.
