When Concubine Heng saw her daughter, she had no time to make a fuss anymore. Besides, it would not look good to make a fuss in front of her daughter.
"Your Majesty, I will take the princess back first."
Concubine Heng bowed.
Xiao Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes cold, "How can a woman in your harem interfere in the affairs of the Crown Prince? If you continue to shout and scream like this, it will be disrespectful. Don't..."
Don’t blame me for being rude!
But he didn't say the rest of the words. Facing the aggrieved look of Concubine Heng, this was the woman he had doted on for many years. In fact, he couldn't bear to blame her. As long as she didn't do anything too out of line, he would turn a blind eye.
"Tell me yourself, did you behave appropriately just now?" Xiao Hanyi's voice softened.
After all, it was in front of the princess.
Thinking of the Second Princess, Xiao Hanyi was furious, but he couldn't show it. He suppressed his anger and said, "I've been out of the palace for so long this time. I heard that she was studying Taoism with Master Kongxun. How is her learning going?"
Xiao Jiaxi's heart shuddered. Oh no! He was so anxious to see his mother that he forgot to find an excuse.
She was just making up an excuse. Could it be that she really stayed indoors in the Taoist temple and didn't go out?
"I follow the Master morning and night to learn. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, the Tao follows nature. Everything must follow the laws of nature..."
Xiao Jiaxi racked his brains and made up a few words.
She has never liked reading since she was a child, as she gets a headache whenever she does. She likes to show off her skills, and when she encounters a problem, she just solves it with a big stick. How easy is that? But she can't stand the intrigue all day long.
Xiao Hanyi laughed when he heard it. Okay, he actually remembered a few sentences.
"I'm leaving now."
After saying this, he bowed and took Concubine Heng with him and flew out of Yuxiu Palace.
......
Xiao Hanyi was invited to sit down and served some heat-removing tea.
Xiao Hanyi took a big gulp of the glass before he felt better.
"Your Majesty, I like the princess's temper."
Guo Xiner had an auntie smile on her face.
She had seen the second princess before. She was a cheerful and lively child. She once thought that if she had a daughter, she would not let her learn all the virtues of a woman and help her take care of her husband and children in the future.
On the contrary, she felt that the princess did not have to get married. She could recruit some handsome young men to stay in the backyard of the princess's mansion, and spend her free time exploring the mountains and rivers and living a happy life.
However, she definitely didn't dare to say such thoughts out loud, as others would think she was crazy.
[Mother and I have the same hobbies. I also like the Second Princess. She has a bad temper, just like Father.]
【Beating up if there's any disagreement】
Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Guo Xiner was happy. Of course, her daughter's preferences must be the same as hers.
Xiao Hanyi said, "The Beiliang envoys sent here this time clearly stated that they want to marry a princess. Among my legitimate princesses, only the second princess is of the right age, and the other is the late emperor's Princess Luo Ning."
Princess Luo Ning?
Guo Xiner knew that she had married General Xu a few years ago, but General Xu went to the battlefield on their wedding night and died on the battlefield. After that, Princess Luo Ning never remarried.
He is only eighteen years old now.
[Princess Luo Ning would marry him, hehehe, it would be a good fit. He's an ambitious guy. In Southern Liang, her status as a princess wouldn't change, but in Northern Liang, she'd become a prince's consort. She would definitely support the Seventh Prince to become the Crown Prince. She's determined to get the position of Empress.]
[Perhaps, after the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, she will take charge of the court.]
Xiao Hanyi frowned. How could he not know that his sister had such ambitions?
He carefully recalled Princess Luo Ning. She had indeed interfered in state affairs, but he had reprimanded her harshly and she later became obedient.
It turns out that she had such thoughts.
Guo Xiner carefully considered her words, "I dare not discuss state affairs, but since it involves the princess's marriage, which is also a family matter, I dare to say a few words..."
Xiao Hanyi must have his own thoughts in his mind, and she didn't want to say too much. However, with the Second Princess's temper, if she really had physical contact with the Seventh Prince, she must have fallen in love with him.
Guo Xiner is willing to do things that help others achieve their goals.
"I think I should ask the Second Princess about this matter. If she is willing, it would be a good marriage. This is truly a match made in heaven, but..."
[However, if there is a war between Southern Liang and Northern Liang in the future, marrying into the Northern Liang would make you cannon fodder, a discarded child.]
[That's easy to say. I feel like I can't fight this time.]
[After they get married, they will live in the princess's mansion. As long as we can convince the Seventh Prince to stay in Southern Liang, this problem can be solved. He has no deep feelings for the Northern Liang royal family.]
Yes, yes, yes, that’s what I mean!
Xiao Hanyi nodded, he thought so too.
Guo Xiner was confused. She hadn't said anything yet, so why would the emperor nod?!
