Chapter 2118 Childhood Sweethearts, Childhood Sweethearts
It’s already April in Kyoto, when warblers are flying and grass is growing.
The three-month period of mourning for the Empress Dowager has passed, and it is very uncomfortable for the children to be bored in the palace all winter. Yun Dai invited her aunt, Yun Wu, Ming Xuan and Hong Dou to take the children to play in the peach grove in the suburbs.
The spring breeze is gentle and warm.
Yun Dai and others sat in the pavilion drinking tea and watching the children playing under the peach tree.
In addition to the four in the palace, there are Caicai, the two sons of the eldest cousin Mingwei, the son of the second cousin, Mingxuan's son, and Gu Chengan's daughter Anhao.
Altogether there are about ten children.
A gust of wind blew by, and the peach petals fell one after another, like a pink rain.
The children were laughing and screaming.
The eldest cousin Ming Jing's son Ming Wuji, eleven years old, is the oldest of the group of children, followed by Yan'er who is nine years old. The two of them did not play with them, but stood aside and watched the younger ones.
The children lifted up their skirts to catch the falling petals.
Yan'er hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull down her skirt and said seriously: "You are a girl, you can't do this."
The child listened to his brother's words the most. He reached out and grabbed a handful of flower petals, threw them on his brother's head, and giggled: "Brother, your body is filled with the fragrance of flowers!"
"Don't be naughty."
Yan'er smiled helplessly, neither angry nor annoyed, and reached out to pat the petals off.
Caicai stood on tiptoes, took off a petal from his shoulder, and said, "Brother Prince, do you want a drink of water?"
Yan'er shook his head: "Drink it yourself."
Caicai is six years old. She is extremely beautiful with bright eyes and white teeth.
In the past few years, she had often lived in the palace, and her relationship with the prince and the two princesses was very good.
Yan'er was also kind to her.
These two childhood sweethearts, in the eyes of others, might have settled down if they were older.
According to the rules for the princes in the palace, when they are twelve or thirteen years old, they will send palace maids to teach them those things. When they are older, they can get married to their concubines.
After the new year, Yan'er was nine years old. Calculating the time, he only had four or five years before he would have to think about these things.
Yun Dai leaned back in the recliner and looked at Yan'er's youthful appearance, feeling like a child in our family had just grown up.
Aunt Tian looked at the children and said with a smile: "The prince and Princess Canglan are a good match. They grew up playing together as brothers and sisters, so they all know each other well. It should be settled in two years, right?"
Yun Dai glanced at Hong Dou and smiled: "As long as Yan'er and Caicai are willing, I'm fine. I'm just afraid that the princess and her mother won't."
Hearing this, Hongdou said with a smile: "Isn't what your Majesty said to offend me? Although I think it is not the best way for a woman to enter the palace, but the master of the palace is your Majesty, what should I worry about? It's better than letting her marry It’s ten thousand times better to be outside without knowing the inside story.”
Yun Dai smiled and said: "Since you don't object, then I have made a decision in advance? After two years of imprisonment, you see whose boy is good-looking, and you want to get him back as your son-in-law. You threw me, Yan'er, aside. "
Everyone laughed.
Hongdou said: "I love making fun of people. Is there a better young man in the capital than the prince?"
"Of course it's gone." Yun Wu looked at Yan'er, his face full of love.
Mingxuan said: "Look at Yan'er, who is as gentle and steady as jade, and then look at the eldest brother and the second brother's family, they are like mud monkeys all day long."
Yun Dai said: "Wuji is also very good. As for Wuhen, he is still young. Boys should be stronger."
