Song Jianing and the others left, and Guo Xiao took out the birthday gift he prepared, which was this chrysanthemum recipe.

Concubine Shu loves jujube, and her nephew's gift is very much in line with her wishes. She praised Guo Xiao a few words and turned to ask about Guo Xiao's current situation.

Guo Xiao is already an adult and is not suitable for staying in Changchun Palace for a long time. After sitting for a while, he said to his cousin who had been hiding behind Concubine Shu, who was looking at him openly and a little shyly, "I have something to discuss with my aunt alone, so my cousin will go outside first."

Princess Duanhui was unhappy and pouted coquettishly: "What can't I know?"

Guo Xiao didn't explain, but just stared at her calmly.

Princess Duanhui couldn't stand the look of her lover. She glared at Guo Xiao with anger and went out reluctantly, but she didn't walk away. The curtain fell down. She shook her head at the palace maids, then hid behind the curtain and listened sideways.

The nephew looked solemn. Concubine Shu thought of her mother's family and Duke's Mansion and misunderstood something big happened. She asked in a hurry: "Ping Zhang, what's wrong?"

Guo Xiao looked at his aunt and lowered his eyes and said, "Auntie, since I was injured that time, my grandmother has been urging me to marry me, I..."

Concubine Shu was shocked, but she also understood that the grandma. Her nephew was twenty-two and had already reached the age of starting a family and starting a career. Last time her life was on the verge of a thread, and the grandma must have been afraid. Her nephew got married early. If something happened, she could leave at least one child and half of her daughter. However, Concubine Shu glanced at the door and was anxious for her daughter. She knew the daughter's affection for her nephew best, but the nephew did not seem to have that meaning to her daughter.

"You are not young anymore, and it's time to get married. Don't complain about your grandmother's urging you." Concubine Shu said calmly. Before she found out her nephew's feelings, she didn't want to expose her daughter's affection.

Guo Xiao nodded, suddenly knelt down, looked up at Shufei and said, "Auntie, my cousin and I have never married yet, and are waiting for my cousin to grow up. This year, my cousin has already been in the forefront. I wanted to wait for another two years to propose marriage when I succeeded, but my grandmother urged me to be so anxious that I could only ask my aunt to betrothed me. If I can get what I want, I promise to be kind to my cousin for the rest of my life."

Concubine Shu was shocked and looked at her nephew kneeling there in disbelief. Why did she marry her daughter at once?

Outside the curtain, Princess Duanhui covered her mouth excitedly, and couldn't believe it either, but when she remembered the time when Yihexuan hugged her, she remembered that every time she met this year, she would smile at her. She was much gentler than before. Princess Duanhui quickly accepted the fact that her cousin really liked her, and was only concerned about being happy, and her heart was pounding with excitement.

Concubine Shu was also happy, happy that her daughter's relationship was rewarded, but she vaguely felt something was wrong. Her daughter was too arrogant and coquettish, and her nephew was steady and cold at a young age. One of the cousins ​​looked like snow mountain and the other was like an arrogant golden phoenix. Just about her temper, she was not very compatible. Moreover, the daughter who had deeper affection was easily injured.

Concubine Shu hopes that her daughter can marry the person she really likes, but if the person she likes cannot repay the same feelings, it will make her wronged. Concubine Shu would rather marry a little worse than her daughter. In Concubine Shu's heart, Guo Xiao is a good nephew and a young talent with an unlimited future, but she is not like a good husband.

In his nephew, Shufei could not feel the tenderness a man should have for a woman.

"You, do you like Duanhui?" Shufei said in surprise, observing her nephew's expression secretly, "Dunhui is ignorant, I thought you were annoyed to her."

Guo Xiao knew that his aunt was not easy to fool, so he showed a helpless and doting smile: "I was annoyed, but I was injured last year. I thought I was not going to be able to do it. Before I fell into a coma, I remembered that my cousin made me angry. At that time, I thought, I want to go back, I want to see my cousin again, and care about her again..."

Speaking of this, Guo Xiao's eyes softened, as if he had seen another person through Concubine Shu, a person who helped him through the disaster of life and death.

Concubine Shu was shocked by the deep affection in her nephew's eyes. She never thought that her nephew, who was as cold as a sword, would have turned into a soft finger. The deep affection was like a faint pond water, bottomless, and like a spreading fire, burning. This love must not be fake, so her nephew was careless and didn't know her feelings until the moment of life and death that she found that her cousin lived in her heart?

"Cousin, stop talking, I'll marry!"

Just as Concubine Shu was so shocked that she forgot to respond, Princess Duanhui, who was eavesdropping, suddenly ran in with her eyes, and said with red eyes, she saw her cousin kneeling there begging her mother. Princess Duanhui could no longer hold back the tears that Princess Duanhui had been trying hard to hold back, and her eyes were blurred. My cousin survived for her. She was willing to exchange such love for her.

"Auntie." Guo Xiao said nervously.

The two children are in love, and the man is her proud nephew. How could Concubine Shun refuse to agree?

Helping Guo Xiao up, Concubine Shu held her nephew's hand and sighed: "You have this affection for Duanhui, so your aunt will be relieved. But Duanhui's aunt cannot make the decision. You have to ask the emperor to give her a marriage."

Guo Xiao looked at Princess Duanhui. Princess Duanhui would finally be shy. She glanced at him shyly and sweetly, turned around and trot away. When Princess Duanhui left the door, Guo Xiao whispered to Concubine Shu: "I want to get your consent first, and then ask the emperor to give her a marriage. If my aunt thinks something is wrong with me, even if the emperor agrees to me, I will have no face to marry my cousin."

This is so nice that Concubine Shu smiled so hard that she couldn't stop and stared at her nephew and said, "I only realized today that you are a sweet-mouthed person, and you can just say some sweet words to coax me."

Guo Xiao smiled, but a trace of guilt was wandering in his heart. After all, he would let down his aunt's trust in this matter. However, after the matter was completed, he would do his best to compensate his aunt and cousin and would never use them in vain.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Xuande suddenly gave his marriage and gave his only princess to Guo Xiao, the prince of the Duke of Wei. There was no sign of this decree, but Guo Xiao was a popular man in front of Emperor Xuande and was a cousin with Princess Duanhui. It was normal for him to marry him, so it did not cause any criticism among the officials.

Zhao Heng stood behind the second prince Rui, with a calm expression on his face, but a turbulent heart arose.

Zhao Heng has long known Guo Xiao’s heart for the princess. Compared with his princess, Duanhui is not as good as her innate identity, Duanhui is not as good as her everywhere. She is arrogant and willful and trolling. Zhao Heng does not believe that Guo Xiao will really like Princess Duanhui. So, was it Princess Duanhui begged for the marriage given by his father, or did Guo Xiao take the initiative to ask for it?

Only the father and emperor, Guo Xiao and his son knew about this, and his people had no way to inquire about it.

Perhaps, my mother-in-law knows it too?

When he returned home in the evening, Zhao Heng coaxed his daughter first, and then he took a break after dinner. He hugged the princess and said, "The father gave him a marriage, Guo Xiao and the princess."

Song Jianing was very surprised, but he returned to peace in a flash. After all, Guo Xiao was going to marry Princess Duanhui in his previous life.

She nodded softly and said politely with a smile: "Their childhood sweethearts are a perfect match."

Zhao Heng stroked her delicate chin and said leisurely: "Have you heard it before?"

Song Jianing nodded and said truthfully: "The princess liked her brother when she was a child. My mother said before the Dragon Boat Festival that my father intended to let her brother marry the princess."

Zhao Heng moved his hand to her shoulder, and Guo Boyan's old fox face appeared in his mind. Could it be that this marriage was Guo Boyan's idea? Did Guo Boyan want to use the position of the prince to improve Guo Xiao's identity so as not to retaliate against Guo Xiao in the future? Or did Guo Boyan guessed that Guo Xiao's inappropriate thoughts and forced his son to marry and forget his step-sister?

"Prince?" Song Jianing called in confusion, why did Nahan ask?

Zhao Heng came back to his senses and didn't want to mention the disappointing name. He lifted her up with his big hand and closed his eyes to look for her lips. Song Jianing subconsciously hid, pressed his lips with his little hand, and said embarrassedly: "Prince, I, my menstrual affairs are still there." He told him last night, why did the prince forget?

Zhao Heng was silent, then suppressed her again, and promised: "No tonight."

But you still have to kiss someone.
