"What's so difficult about this?" Zuo Zixi blushed in embarrassment, "You are old enough to understand the principles of being a wife. Fighting with concubines will only lower your status and is completely unnecessary. "

Zuo Xiangning said dissatisfied: "If you men don't take concubines, won't there be no fights?"

"If you don't take concubines, how can you spread the branches?" Zuo Zixi shook his head in disapproval.

"Brother thinks so too?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows, "Should I have a good talk with Sister Min to see if she thinks so too?"

"You dare?" Zuo Zixi stared.

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled.

Zuo Zixi looked at his sister with crescent-shaped eyebrows, smiled and reached out to touch her hair, and said warmly: "You still have a eldest brother."

The corners of Zuo Xiangning's eyes were sore and she shed two tears.

Zuo Xiangning took Brother Hong back to Prince Chu's Mansion. The carriage went all the way to the entrance of the main courtyard. Zuo Xiangrong took Caihong, Bingyun and other girls to pick them up.

Entering the room, Zuo Xiangrong held Brother Hong in her arms distressedly and kissed her twice on the face before speaking to Zuo Xiangning: "Is he making trouble these two days?"

"Brother Hong is very good. If I weren't afraid that you would miss him, I wouldn't want to bring him back." Zuo Xiangning held Brother Hong's little hand.

"I'll clean up a yard for Brother Hong and leave a separate room for you. You can come whenever you want. As long as you don't find it annoying, you can stay as long as you want." Zuo Xiangrong smiled. road.

"That's undecided." Zuo Xiangning chuckled.

Zuo Xiangrong also laughed for a while and then said: "It was the eldest girl next to Xu Meiren who poisoned me. She said she was dissatisfied with me for forcing her master to stay outside for an hour in the snow, which almost caused her master to have a miscarriage. "

"Xu Meiren didn't tell me that she was pregnant, but she hid it, thinking that everyone wanted to harm her," Zuo Xiangrong sneered, "Isn't she afraid that others would hurt the piece of meat in her belly? I just pretended to be one. I know nothing but hurt her, let’s see what she can do to me!”

Zuo Xiangning held Zuo Xiangrong's hand, not knowing what to say.

She wanted to persuade her sister that the child in her belly was innocent, so Brother Hong was not innocent?
  She wanted to persuade her sister, the woman in the palace's backyard, to defeat this one, and there will be that one, and there will be more in the future. But her sister has already entered the Chu Palace and has to fight while going down, so naturally she hopes Her sister could be the one to win.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm very good." Zuo Xiangrong patted Zuo Xiangning's hand and said with a smile: "In the future, I will definitely choose a husband for you who will treat you wholeheartedly."

Zuo Xiangning wanted to say that she didn't need it, but when she looked at her sister's eyes as dark as a pool of stagnant water, all her words were stuck in her throat.

Before getting married, any woman is not full of hope for the future, but there are also a few who are not disappointed and resentful, and end up making do with it.

All the words in Zuo Xiangning's heart turned into a sigh.

"Then what did His Highness King Chu say?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

"What can he say? Xu Meiren harmed Brother Hong first. I just found out the truth and hurt Xu Meiren unintentionally. What does it have to do with me?" Zuo Xiangrong touched her son's little face and continued: "I originally I want Doctor Liu to stay in Prince Chu's Mansion for a few days and give Brother Hong a good look, but His Highness the King of Chu has said that the Emperor relies on Doctor Liu now, and it would be inappropriate for him to frequent the Prince's Mansion any more."

"Every five days, I come to pick up Brother Hong and take him to show Doctor Liu." Zuo Xiangning said, "I take Brother Hong to the small courtyard I bought, and Doctor Liu lives there."

"That's fine." Zuo Xiangrong nodded and whispered: "Brother Hong's illness must not be known to anyone, otherwise, King Chu may be really angry."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, "I know the importance."

Apparently, Brother Hong was seriously ill in his previous life. King Chu and Princess Chu didn't tell anyone, so Zuo Xiangning didn't know either.

After King Chu became the emperor, the eldest son Hong Ge, who had no support from his mother's family and was seriously ill, became the one who had to be abandoned.

Concubine Liu's son was smart and healthy, and Concubine Liu's father took over the military power of Zuo Zixi and his uncle from the Jiang family.

So the King of Chu took action himself, or asked Concubine Liu to take action by default, and got rid of Zuo Xiangrong and her son... "Yesterday, the eldest brother came to ask me. I only said that there was a concubine who bribed the girl around Brother Hong. I was afraid that she would do anything to Brother Hong." If it’s not good, I’ll ask you to take Brother Hong out.” Zuo Xiangrong said, “Don’t give me a second thought.”

Zuo Xiangning nodded, "I know how to tell my brother."

"By the way." Zuo Xiangrong remembered another thing and said: "When I entered the palace a few days ago, Concubine Li told me that she wanted to be a matchmaker for her brother, but I refused. Yesterday, Mrs. Li said You came to see me and mentioned something again... What's going on? Have you met the third young master of the Li family? "

"I won't marry him." Zuo Xiangning frowned.

"That's how I came back to the Li family." Zuo Xiangrong said, "That Third Young Master Li is just a playboy. It's a shame that his family can talk about it."

Zuo Xiangning wanted to defend Li Shaonan, but was afraid that her sister would misunderstand.

"Don't worry, I will always keep your marriage in mind." Zuo Xiangrong said.

"I'm not in a hurry." Zuo Xiangning stood up with a smile and wanted to go home. "My mother is still waiting for me at home. I have to go back quickly."

"Go quickly." Zuo Xiangrong smiled and asked someone to see her off. "Don't forget to come over and see me and Brother Hong when you have time."

Zuo Xiangning kissed Brother Hong's little hand and left with a smile.

Back at Zuofu, Mrs. Jiang saw that Zuo Xiangning's mental state was much better, and she felt relieved and began to prepare people to go to Min's house to propose marriage.

The next morning, the eunuch in the palace came to convey the order, and the emperor announced that Zuo Xiangning had entered the palace.

Jiang was startled and hurriedly came over to help Zuo Xiangning change her clothes, "Why did the emperor suddenly summon you to the palace again? Could it be that there has been another change on the eldest princess' side?"

Zuo Xiangning didn't know why.

"Prince Ru, you don't know whether to leave or not?" Zuo Xiangning thought of Bai Fengyu.

"Who knows." Mrs. Jiang didn't care about Prince Ru, and whispered: "Be careful when you go to the palace. I will ask your elder brother to send you there. The emperor is tolerant. If you have anything to say, please speak to the emperor directly. I have made it clear that you must not deceive or make excuses. What kind of person has the emperor never seen? No little idea can escape his eyes."

Zuo Xiangning nodded repeatedly, packed up, and Jiang sent her to the carriage.

"Mom, ask Mama Cai to make some steamed pork ribs for her daughter." Zuo Xiangning opened the curtain and said to Jiang, "There is also Hu spicy soup."

"You kid." The nervous Jiang couldn't help laughing.

When Zuo Xiangning saw the emperor, she knelt in the middle of the ground.

"Get back on your feet." The emperor sat high above him and said warmly to her: "I asked the imperial chef to make steamed pork ribs and spicy soup for you. You can try it later to see if it is as delicious as what you make at home."

Zuo Xiangning looked up at the emperor in surprise, even more confused as to what the emperor's intention was.

"I said before that I wanted to make you the princess, but I made a mistake. Do you know why?" the emperor asked.

"I don't know, my dear daughter," Zuo Xiangning replied respectfully.

"I want you to marry your prince to ensure the stability of our dynasty for decades. Are you willing?" The emperor asked again.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the majestic and amiable emperor in front of her, and she was even more unsure of his intentions.

"Gu Zhiqing, Prince Wang, Li Shaonan, and even the newly deceased Prince Zhongyuan all want to marry you, but I think they are not suitable." The emperor stood up and walked to Zuo Xiangning, "You marry Prince Ru, I agree that the girl from the Min family will marry your eldest brother, what do you think of this deal?"

Zuo Xiangning thinks this business is not good at all, but does she have the right to object?
