Yuanheng of the Extra Story (1)

A moment later, the Princess of Qin and the Prince of Qin Yuanheng entered the main hall of Renhe Palace.

"My daughter-in-law Jiang, please pay tribute to the mother." The Princess of Qin bowed and bowed.

Princess Jiang, the princess of Qin, is over thirty years old this year. However, she has taken great care of herself and her appearance is still beautiful and dignified. She looks only thirty years old.

The prince of Qin, Yuanheng, also bowed and bowed: "The grandson Yuanheng, have met the emperor's grandmother. I wish the emperor's grandmother good health!"

Seventeen-year-old Yuanheng has a slender figure, a handsome face, and a gentle and elegant body. It makes people feel good.

Empress Dowager Pei smiled and said, "Don't be gentle and don't give me a gift, sit down and talk!" She then called Yuan Heng in front of her and gently asked about Yuan Heng's studies.

Yuan Heng has been studying in the study room. He is respectful and humble, and he is very hard-working in his studies. The Grand Tutors praised him endlessly.

According to the customs in the palace, the princes and grandchildren studied in the study room, and stopped studying until they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Then they got married, went to court to follow the government and learned to be a businessman.

However, Yuan Heng's status in the palace was a bit subtle and embarrassing. Emperor Xuanping did not mention it, Yuan Heng kept studying in the study room.

Empress Dowager Pei opened her mouth to ask, and Yuan Heng answered respectfully.

Queen Mother Pei was satisfied with her hearing, nodded repeatedly, and smiled at Princess Qin: "Heng Ge'er was diligent in studying, and the tutors said that if Heng Ge'er ended up taking the imperial examination, it would be no problem to be a juren."

Princess Qin pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "My mother praised her so much, and her daughter-in-law was also very happy. Heng'er was born in the royal family, so it was unnecessary to take the scientific exam. However, the daughter-in-law thought that it was always a good thing to read more."

Empress Dowager Pei agreed with her face: "What she said is that she is beautiful with poetry and writing, and she has a golden house in her books. These words are absolutely unmistakable."

Concubine Gu Shu and Concubine Yu also smiled and agreed a few words.

Princess Qin listened with a smile, and sighed in her heart.

The emperor and the empress have been married for more than ten years, and there is only one princess under her knees, and they have no descendants to this day. Yuan Heng is the emperor's grandson and the nephew of Emperor Xuanping's relatives.

If she had ambitions, she would have hoped that Emperor Xuanping would never have a son. The emperor would adopt his nephew in the future, and Yuanheng was the best candidate...

But she never had such ambition.

She didn't want her son to be involved in the palace to fight. She just hoped that her son would grow up safely, and would go to the vassal state to become a vassal king in the future, and live a peaceful and comfortable life.

Princess Qin cheered up and accompanied Queen Mother Pei to gossip, and mentioned Yuan Heng's marriage intentionally or unintentionally.

The young man from ordinary people married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Yuan Heng was already seventeen and had not decided on a marriage for a long time. Needless to say, Princess Qin, who is the biological mother, was anxious, and there was a faint layer of worry.

Unfortunately, she couldn't and dared not bypass Empress Dowager Pei Xuanping to make a marriage for her son.

As soon as Empress Dowager Pei listened to the voice, she knew the purpose of Princess Qin.

Empress Dowager Pei didn't go around the corner and said to Princess Qin directly: "Jiang, Brother Heng is already seventeen years old. Are you anxious to marry a wife for Brother Heng?"

Princess Qin's heart skipped a beat and responded softly: "The daughter-in-law is just talking and joking, and she is not in a hurry."

Empress Dowager Pei said softly: "Ai family understands your thoughts. According to the rules of the court, if the prince of the vassal prince gets married and has children, he can become a vassal. The Ai family has only one granddaughter, Jie Er, and the emperor's grandson. Even if you don't tell me about the marriage between Brother Heng, the Ai family has always been thinking about it."

In fact, the banned grandchildren of the emperor, in terms of etiquette, are all the grandchildren of Empress Dowager Pei. However, Empress Dowager Pei has only two sons of "personal birth" and one grandchildren of the legitimate descendants.

She said this, no one would choose not.

Empress Dowager Pei said slowly: "The granddaughter-in-law whom the Ai family likes is still young, and Brother Heng is afraid that he will have to wait a few more years. If you are willing to wait, just wait a few years before talking. If Brother Heng is in a hurry to get married, choose another lady from a famous family."

Princess Qin: "..."

Empress Dowager Pei said this. As long as she has a little bit of IQ, she will know how to answer.

Princess Qin calmed down and replied with a smile: "The granddaughter-in-law whom the mother and queen love must be the best. You don't have to worry about having a good meal, and your daughter-in-law is not in a hurry at all."

Everyone laughed with emotion.

Empress Dowager Pei stretched her eyebrows and smiled, "Just don't hurry."

Yuan Heng had a tender face. When he heard topics like marrying a wife, his handsome face turned red and he quickly lowered his head.

...

Yuanheng and his son had lunch in Renhe Palace.

Queen Mother Pei had the habit of taking a nap. Princess Qin led her son to retreat from the palace.

The Qin Palace was very close to the palace. The carriage slowly started from outside the palace gate and arrived at the Qin Palace in an incense stick of time.

"Mother, my son helps you get off the carriage." Yuan Heng was filial and caring, and helped his mother get off the carriage.

The Princess Qin was relieved and slowly got off the carriage. Her eyes passed by the sealed mansions on both sides and left and right, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

More than ten years ago, several princes were connected, and people came and went every day, which was grand and lively.

The fifth prince died, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were locked up in the clan mansion, and there was almost no news over the years. The former prince's mansion was also sealed.

Only the Qin Palace was left, alone in the middle.

Yuan Heng felt very uncomfortable when he saw his mother's eyes dim.

He thought his mother was worried about her marriage. He whispered while walking: "Mother, I'm not in a hurry to get married. Just wait a few years! Everything is what I listen to when my grandmother."

A bitter smile flashed in Princess Qin's eyes.

She didn't rush to speak until she returned to the room, with only mother and son, and Princess Qin said softly: "Who is your grandmother talking about? Do you understand in your heart?"

Yuan Heng felt a little embarrassed and nodded quickly: "Although the emperor's grandmother did not speak out directly, her son could guess one or two."

A girl who is several years younger than him now lives in Renhe Palace, and one in the Jiaofang Hall.

What Empress Dowager Pei said must be one of them.

Princess Qin looked at her son with pity and sighed: "They are all good girls. No matter which girl they refer to for you in the future, I will be happy."

"But, you are seventeen years old now. If you wait for another five or six years, you are over twenty..."

"I'm willing to wait." Yuan Heng quickly interrupted his mother: "The emperor's grandmother said before that once I get married, I can go to the vassal state. I want to stay in the capital for a few more years, so it's better to get married later."

Whether it is good or not, I have to listen to Empress Pei.

Princess Qin cheered up and smiled and nodded.

After a while, the Princess Qin whispered: "Heng'er, the emperor has always had no sons, and the people in the court are in a state of turmoil. Some brave ministers submitted memorials and asked the emperor to choose a concubine to enter the palace. The emperor ignored it."
