The weak princess is super fierce

Xiang Zhao entered the palace after noon.

Li Cong had just finished lunch and was pushed by Feng Hui to the corridor outside the dormitory door. Instead of sitting in the wheelchair, Feng Hui carried him to the rocking chair on the verandah, lying on his back and looking at the sky outside the verandah, flickering.

Xiang Zhao came closer and saw this leisurely and comfortable scene.

"Your Highness is in a good mood?" He sat down on the embroidered pillar that had been prepared nearby.

The entourage who followed him into the palace, Sheng Jing, did not go up to the verandah, but stood guard under the stone steps.

Feng Hui was making tea on the porch. The small red stove was burning brightly and the tea soup was already boiling.

There was a table between the rocking chair and the embroidered pier. Feng Hui served two cups of steaming tea in silence.

Li Cong smiled: "Fenghui's tea-making skills are pretty good. Second cousin, please give it a try."

"It's not bad." Xiang Zhaoqian took a sip, "Sixth sister came to my house yesterday and cried to me."

Li Cong said: "Some accidents happened yesterday. Mr. Lu took Miss Lu away early. There is really no chance to bring the sixth cousin and Mr. Lu together. But according to the situation yesterday when Mr. Lu ran away as soon as he saw the sixth cousin, I watched …Second cousin might as well advise sixth cousin that if there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, there is no need to fall unrequitedly in love with Mr. Lu’s tree.”

Xiang Zhao looked at Li Cong, who was obviously one year younger than Xiang Zheng, but seemed to be ten years older than Xiang Zheng physically and mentally. For a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with Xiang Zheng's love, or pity Li Cong's failure. Forced to grow.

He turned away his eyes: "Your Highness is right, I will give you some advice when I get back."

"Does my second cousin know about Meng Tianguan's second grandson?" Li Cong slowly got to the point.

When Xiang Zhao heard this, he knew that this was the reason why Li Cong asked him to come to the palace to talk: "Meng Renji, the second master of Meng, knows it, but doesn't understand it well. I only know that the second master Meng is not favored by Meng Tianguan. If Miss Wu Meng, I am afraid that the second grandson of Tianguan has either been beaten to death by the Second Master Lu at this moment, or he is still fending for himself in Zhuangzi on the western outskirts of Meng Mansion, and will never make a difference."

Li Cong nodded: "I heard that at dusk yesterday, Second Young Master Meng left the capital and went on a study tour."

"Study tour?" Xiang Zhao was a little surprised.

Li Cong was a little surprised when he saw this: "Second cousin doesn't know yet?"

Xiang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "Recently, my mother has been asking me to go see you, but I don't want to see you. The sixth sister on the left is crying and scared, and my mother on the right is saying that I'm scared. This morning, I was entangled by them again, and I can't get away. The people around me have never been gifted, and indeed they don’t know about it.”

Li Cong rarely left the palace, and even when he left the palace, he rarely went to Xiang's house. Most of the time, he made appointments with Xiang Zhao. The two cousins ​​wandered around in the neighborhood together, but for Xiang Zhao's mother, his second child, He also still remembered his aunt Jiang's temperament.

In short, Jiang and Xiang Zheng are both very difficult girls.

"The second aunt asked the second cousin to come and see her. That's because the second cousin is old enough to get married." Li Cong said, thinking of Xiang Yu, the eldest cousin in the eldest room of the Xiang Mansion. "Speaking of which, the eldest cousin is better than the elder cousin. My second cousin is two years older, so my aunt is not in a hurry?"

Xiang Zhao smiled: "Uncle has great ambitions, and the eldest brother is the eldest son of the eldest son. I think the eldest daughter-in-law will have to pass the test of the uncle. It is impossible for the eldest aunt to fall in love with her alone."

"According to what you said, does it mean that the eldest aunt has a girl she likes, but the eldest uncle doesn't like her?" Li Cong got to the point. Xiang Zhao didn't hide anything: "A few days ago, a niece from my eldest aunt's family came to the house. Although she didn't say it clearly, everyone in the house knew that Miss Yu came to see my eldest brother. If she can come, It can be seen that the eldest aunt has been attracted to her for a long time, and after she came, the eldest brother had no objection. It can be seen that the eldest brother was also satisfied after meeting this cousin of the Yu family, and the result is that the uncle did not nod. "

"Uncle doesn't agree?" Li Cong thought about his aunt Yu's natal family, "The Yu family is indeed not a high-ranking family."

Not only is it not considered a high-ranking family, it is actually a small family.

Li Cong saved some face for the Yu family, but Xiang Zhao didn't expose it. He only explained: "Before the empress got your majesty's favor, although the Xiang family was one of the old families in the capital, their family fortunes had been in decline for a long time. She is shallow and has no reputation. Under such circumstances, when the eldest uncle came to discuss marriage, my grandmother spent a lot of effort to marry the eldest aunt into the Xiang family. It was the same when my father married my mother later. "

"I have heard my mother and concubine mention this before, saying that she had a very hard time when she was a child." Li Cong agreed.

Therefore, after he was killed and crippled, his mother and concubine were able to make a quick decision. As long as his life was safe, she would not fight for anything.

His mother-in-law was not a girl who grew up in a home of gold and silver since she was a child. Compared with empress Lu and concubine De, who were truly noble daughters from wealthy families, there was a fundamental difference.

"With the uncle's official position and the presence of his mother-in-law, it is right for the uncle to plan for the future of the elder brother." Xiang Zhao continued, "But the uncle's plan is for the sake of his mother's family. It is wrong to say that it is wrong. , but it’s not very appropriate for Xiang Mansion.”

His uncle Xiang Fengrui is the chief official of Honglu Temple and a fourth-rank temple minister, while his father is a doctor of the fifth rank in the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, his father wants him to marry a noble girl, let alone a high-ranking woman. He is an uncle with a higher official rank than his father.

Therefore, he could understand his uncle's wholehearted plan for his eldest cousin.

It’s just that the uncle miscalculated about his eldest cousin.

His eldest cousin is different from him. He is focused on his career, while his eldest cousin is focused on his romantic career.

"I remember that my eldest cousin didn't plan to take the scientific examination." Li Cong and Xiang Yu are not very close, but they are cousins ​​after all. Xiang Fengrui will be the master of the Xiang Mansion in the future, which will inevitably make him have doubts about the eldest son. Everything is understood.

Xiang Zhao said: "Your Highness remembers correctly, my eldest brother really has no ambitions in the officialdom. I always say that the officialdom is smoky, and it is really not worth it for me to study hard for ten years, just to jump into the filth and dirt."

"Then it's no wonder that my eldest cousin agreed to the marriage that my aunt found for him with Miss Yu." This was the reason why Li Cong didn't get close to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu had no intention of pursuing an official career, and he only studied to be able to recite poems and compose poems, to be elegant, and to feel superior to others.

To put it bluntly, his eldest cousin is actually wearing a long robe of love as a son and daughter, and he is free to float up and down in this secular world.

But his eldest cousin also didn’t want to think about it. If one day the family was separated, and the two houses in the Xiang Mansion each had their own lives, it would be fine if the eldest uncle was still in the officialdom. If he no longer had the official robe, how could the eldest cousin be free from worries all day long? Carefree romance?

Compared to the eldest cousin, the second cousin in front of him is much more sober.

When people interact with each other, they must go up together, not down together.

Especially in his position.
