Chapter 604 Who thinks wild boars are good-looking?
"Master Xiaoyu," Princess Ying asked the second question with a smile, "I'm just asking casually, Master Xiaoyu, don't be nervous, and don't think too much... It's just that I wonder if Master Xiaoyu has any concubines in his house right now, and how many maids he has?"
As soon as this question was asked, Princess Qing'an, who was sitting in the inner room eavesdropping, wished she could come out and stand in front of Yu Yongliu to listen, for fear of missing any crucial information.
Yu Yongliu was obviously still a little uncomfortable with Princess Ying's question.
He showed the embarrassment of a young man: "... Never."
Princess Ying suspected that she had heard it wrongly: "Hmm"
Yu Yongliu coughed and said in more detail: "My dear Princess, no one in my family has this custom, whether it's concubines or maids."
When Princess Ying heard this, her satisfaction with the Yu family increased significantly!
What do you call this? This is called strict family tradition!
Princess Qing'an's face turned red and her heart was beating wildly.
Princess Ying remained calm and smiled, "So that's how it is. Does Master Xiao Yu have any maidservants who are good at keeping you company? The kind that are waiting for the mistress to marry so that they can take her as concubines?"
Yu Yongliu coughed again: "The people serving in my study are all servants, not maids waiting to be concubines. Besides, my elders have taught us to respect our wives through words and deeds. I will never take a concubine."
As soon as Yu Yongliu said this, Princess Ying's eyes lit up, and she even wanted to arrange the marriage right away!
She originally thought that the next question would be to get Yu Yongliu to promise her not to take a concubine after marriage. If her Qing'an was over 40 and still had no children, then he could take a concubine.
As a result, Yu Yongliu gave her a big surprise and said that he would never take a concubine after marriage?!
Although she couldn't see her daughter's face at the moment, Princess Ying believed that her daughter, who was eavesdropping on their conversation in the inner room, must have a big smile on her face!
Princess Ying couldn't help but smile as she thought of her daughter's happy expression. However, to be on the safe side, she still wanted to ask more clearly.
"What if you and your wife have no children after you get married? Will you take a concubine?" Princess Ying asked.
Yu Yongliu bowed deeply and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince, for the sake of the Crown Princess, was able to remain unfaithful despite the pressure of having no heirs. How can I not do the same? Besides, I have many children and grandchildren in my family, so I will have no shortage of children to spread out."
Yu Yongliu's answer simply made Princess Ying very happy. She wanted to hold Yu Yongliu's hand immediately and call him "good son-in-law".
Princess Ying coughed, and in her heart she was extremely satisfied with Yu Yongliu and the Yu family.
She had personally come into contact with the Yu family. The women in the Yu family were quite different from the women in the wealthy families in the capital. She couldn't explain why before, but now she thought that it was probably the vigorous vitality in them.
Although Princess Ying and Prince Ying have a very good relationship, Prince Ying also has a concubine and two concubines. Princess Ying didn't think much of it before, but now when she heard Yu Yongliu say this, she felt a little sad, but she was more happy for her daughter.
With a husband who loves his wife like this, my daughter will definitely be happy in the future.
Princess Ying suppressed her laughter and showed a look of forced satisfaction on her face: "...Master Xiaoyu's words are very good. Master Xiaoyu is knowledgeable and upright. He will surely rise to a higher position in the court in the future."
Yu Yongliu did not show any excitement or excitement due to Princess Ying's suggestive words, and he still maintained his previous neither humble nor arrogant look.
Princess Ying couldn't be more satisfied with Yu Yongliu!
"Well, Master Xiaoyu has been here for some time. I understand what Master Xiaoyu means." Princess Ying smiled slightly, "But, the prince is still on duty outside and will not be back for some time. We will discuss the details when the time comes."
Yu Yongliu's palms were full of sweat. He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, I will come to bother you again when the prince comes back."
Princess Ying smiled and nodded, then had Yu Yongliu sent out.
As soon as Yu Yongliu left the room, Princess Ying couldn't wait to go to the inner room.
My daughter was sitting on a chair, her face was as red as a monkey's butt, and there was a vague, silly smile on her face, as if she was thinking about something.
Compared to his previous distraught look, this look is silly, but at least it doesn't make people feel distressed!
When Princess Ying thought about it, she was actually amused by her own thoughts.
Princess Ying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Princess Qing'an: "Ningning, you've come back to life!"
Princess Qing'an blushed and almost jumped up from her chair, saying angrily, "Mother!"
Princess Ying smiled happily: "Why, Ningning, just because you got what you wanted, you're going to turn against mother and ignore her?"
Princess Qing'an threw herself into Princess Ying's arms and said coquettishly, "No way!"
Having said that, Princess Qing'an thought of the four words "get what you wish for" that Princess Ying had said, and she couldn't help but chuckled twice in Princess Ying's arms.
Princess Ying hugged her daughter and was completely out of temper.
Princess Qing'an was silly and happy for a while, then she thought of something and became a little nervous. She couldn't help but ask Princess Ying nervously, "Mother, do you think my father will agree?"
Princess Qing'an was a little unsure: "...Father has praised Lord Yu several times before, so he must admire him, right?"
Princess Ying smiled secretly.
Yes, your father did praise Yu Yongliu several times, but that was in the past.
Ever since your father found out that you were in love with Yu Yongliu, he felt that Yu Yongliu was a wild boar who was trying to take his cabbage.
Who would think wild boars are good-looking?
However, Princess Ying did not tell her daughter about this.
Lest my daughter start to worry about gains and losses again.
At this moment, Princess Ying was thinking about what dowry to bring for her daughter when she got married!
…
The next day, Xingxing came to Prince Ying's manor as promised, and brought peach wine brewed from peaches grown on their own manor. It had no smell of alcohol, was sweet, and not intoxicating, just right for girls to drink.
When Princess Qing'an saw Xingxing, her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Xingxing already knew it. When her third brother came back from Prince Ying's manor yesterday, he looked like he was walking on clouds, walking lightly with a silly smile on his face.
However, Xingxing knew that little girls were shy. She saw Princess Qing'an blushing when she saw her, so she just acted calmly and did not mention the matter between Princess Qing'an and her third brother.
Princess Qing'an was infected by Xingxing's attitude, and her emotions soon calmed down, but her face was still a little red.
Zhu Yaoxu also arrived at this time. When he saw Xingxing, his eyes lit up and he asked Xingxing with a smile: "Xiangjun, is your third brother still at the farm?"
Xing Xing shook her head: "Third brother has returned to Beijing."
Zhu Yaoxu was a little disappointed, but he accepted it well and said openly, "Yes, Lord Yu has been appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, so I think he is very busy."
