Fragrance Returned

Asking for a monthly ticket!

Xunxiang understood the emperor's concerns.

If you have been a widower for a long time, you will never fully believe anyone or anything. Having experienced the betrayal of Concubine Su and Gao Feng before, and the betrayal of Concubine Li and Gao Jie again, his suspicion became even more serious.

Queen Ye said, "The Emperor coughed up blood just now. Please ask the imperial doctor to come and diagnose the illness."

The emperor shook his head and said, "Let's talk tomorrow."

Several people talked secretly until late at night. The emperor and empress rested, and Xunxiang went to the side hall.

After breakfast the next day, Xunxiang went directly out of the palace to Ding Mansion.

As for how the emperor and the Sun family talked and how to deal with it, it was a major matter in the court and she had no control over it.

In the palace, Queen Ye had other plans for Concubine Li and Concubine Xia, and Xunxiang stopped joining in the fun.

She doesn't like politics, but she can't help being drawn into it. If I don’t like Dongyang Princess Mansion, I will go back one day.

Xunxiang knew that through this incident, the mother-daughter relationship between her and Dongyang was completely broken.

Dongyang is both a princess and a mother, and her status alone suppresses her to death.

She thought she would stay in Ding Mansion for a while, relax and be a Dingxiang again for a few days.

I didn’t want to get married early before, but now I really want to get married early and leave that home. Although Mrs. Sun hates Mrs. Sun, the other heads of the Sun family are very nice, and she is not afraid of the old lady given her status.

After Xun Xiang left, Queen Ye sent her grandmother Cao to Princess Dongyang's mansion with a bronze mirror and a copy of "Female Commandments".

Aunt Cao is the second-largest female official around Queen Ye, and she is responsible for teaching the maids.

Aunt Cao is usually serious and rigid. Not only the maids and eunuchs in the harem are afraid of her, but also the lower-ranking concubines, princesses, and princesses are afraid of her.

On behalf of Queen Ye, she went to Qijin Hall to teach Princess Dongyang and would stay there for half a year.

It was already noon when Xunxiang returned to Ding's house, and her favorite meals were placed on the table.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "I've already sent someone to invite your grandfather to go home. Liren will come back this afternoon. It's rare for the whole family to be reunited. It would be great if Lichun was here."

She said she didn't want to, but Xun Xiang's heart flew to the Sun Mansion throughout the afternoon, and she didn't know what the outcome would be.

At the end of the Youshi period, Ding Liren, Ding Zhao, and Ding Zhuang came back one after another.

The family eats at one table just like in Beiquan Village.

Xun Xiang pouted and said, "Master, your nose is not only red, but also purple. I told you to drink less, but you just didn't listen."

Ding Zhuang rubbed his nose and smiled, "I didn't drink much."

As soon as he was in the workshop, he wanted to do it himself, and when he was tired, he wanted to drink more. With the help of those old buddies, I drank more.

Purple dragon slough can cure all skin diseases, including rosacea. But Xunxiang felt that there was no need to use Zilong Slough to treat her grandfather's rosacea, and her grandfather didn't care about appearance. I just want him to drink less and pay attention to his health.

After the meal, the family sat happily in the Zhuxuan talking and laughing. Ding Zhao took the time to call Xunxiang to the side room.

"When I came back in the middle of the night yesterday, it wasn't just as simple as having a quarrel with Princess Dongyang, right? Tell dad that I can still file a complaint despite my low words. I won't tolerate such a bully."

Xun Xiang said seriously, "Dad, that matter is not a family matter. I can't go into details now. Just remember to keep your distance from Minister Jiang, he will not have good results. Don't worry, your daughter will not do anything she shouldn't do." , the truth will be revealed in a few months.”

Jiang Shilang is currently the right minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is one of several important ministers who firmly support King Qi as the crown prince, and is also Ding Zhao's immediate boss.

Ding Zhao guessed that it was related to seizing the throne. He absolutely trusts his daughter, and she will do whatever she thinks she should do.

He didn't ask any more questions, but just told her, "No matter what happens, you must pay attention to safety. Just do it if you do it. You are a young lady. Don't do anything related to the court in the future. It's dangerous."

"Oh, I see."

At the end of the Xu period, the servants came to report the matter, and Prince Sun arrived.

Xunxiang stood up and said, "He came to see me."

Ding Liren felt that it was not good for his sister to meet the male guest alone, so he wanted to go with him.

Ding Zhao stopped him and said, "Since you are looking for Xiangxiang, let Xiangxiang go on her own."

Xun Xiang came to the outer courtyard hall and saw Sun Yumu sitting on the first chair on the left.

Xunxiang intuitively felt that Sun Yumu was very different today. His eyes were not only full of joy, but also... tenderness, or affection.

Xunxiang also felt that candlelight should be used to "beautify" people and make them look different.

She sat next to Sun Yumu, dismissed the servants and asked with a smile, "Is it done?"

Sun Yumu turned his head and whispered, "The First Emperor came to my house at noon..."

Seeing Sun Linzhang again, the emperor was also very emotional. He basically believed what Sun Linzhang said, and would send Qiu Wangzhi to Fujian himself to help find people and investigate more things.

The emperor's intention was also to temporarily stabilize Concubine Li, King Qi and the Shen family, so that they could spread news beneficial to the Li Dynasty and cooperate with Dong Yihe to attack the Japanese pirates. Wait until the war is over and catch them all in one fell swoop...

Xun Xiang was secretly happy that the emperor handled this matter reasonably and did not vent his anger immediately. Hai Yi is between September and October. If Dong Yihe makes good use of it, the war can be ended in October and those few people can be completely dealt with.

She smiled and said, "My uncle is good at sea battles. With Shen Mou's 'help', defeating the Japanese pirates will be just around the corner."

After talking about business, Sun Yumu looked at Xunxiang with a slightly red face, "Xiangxiang..."

Xunxiang looked at him, "Huh?"

Sun Yumu gave it a try and said, "The emperor has said something very happy, guess what."

"Uncle Sun became a high official?"

"no."

"Have you or your grandfather been promoted?"

"no."

Xunxiang wanted to say, "It's impossible for your mother to be pregnant again."

I was embarrassed to make this joke, so I could only shake my head and said, "I can't guess."

Sun Yumu smiled even brighter, "The emperor told my grandfather and father that when you turn thirteen, he will grant us a marriage."

Xunxiang didn't expect this to happen. She was happy and surprised at the same time. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.

It should be the Queen's grandmother's suggestion to arrange a marriage for her in such a hurry.

Dongyang is looking for trouble at home every day, and Queen Ye also wants Xunxiang to leave that home as soon as possible.

Today is May 29th, and it will be less than two months until July 19th, which is almost here.

Sun Yumu said again, "Xiangxiang, I, I...my grandfather and parents are very happy."

He was embarrassed to say that he was extremely happy and moved his elders out.

Xunxiang was an old eggplant, and she felt relieved after being shy for a moment. She raised her head and asked, "Are you the only one who is happy for your elders?"

Sun Yumu didn't expect Xun Xiang to ask this, and his face turned redder, like a peach blossom in spring.

He stuttered, "I, I, of course I am happy, I have been dreaming about it."

The eighteen-year-old son of a noble family is such a little white rabbit, a rarity in feudal society. Xun Xiang chuckled and quickly put up a fan to cover her mouth.

The little girl was so calm, Sun Yumu felt useless. But seeing her sweet smile, my heart felt as sweet as honey, and I became more generous.

"Xiangxiang, I know you like lilacs. I will ask someone to plant lilac trees in the yard tomorrow. When you get married, the lilac flowers will be in full bloom on the branches."
