Concubine Qiao came in, first greeted Concubine Jing, then met Qi's family and Qian's Mao family, and then sat down. In the past few days, Qi's family and the others have been here every day, and Concubine Qiao has also accompanied them several times, and everyone is familiar with each other.
"In this big winter, the days are empty and tight. I heard that the uncle and wife are here with the princess, so I came to join in the fun."
"The concubine side is polite."
Princess Jing took a sip of tea and smiled tacitly to Concubine Qiao.
Both of them knew exactly what the other party was thinking, but it was a pity that Princess Jing was no longer able to slap Concubine Qiao's face as confidently as before. After being imprisoned by King Jing for more than a year, Princess Jing realized that once he angered him, she was nothing.
"Cousin Miaolian is also a big girl. I don't know if you have kissed me?" Immediately, Concubine Qiao pretended to slap her mouth.
Qi's expression froze for a moment, and she said with a gloomy expression: "Not yet, it's all family affairs that harmed my daughter, and she's not too young, so far I haven't talked about kissing."
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Li Miaolian was coquettish and shy.
"Hehe, cousin Miaolian is still shy. What's the matter? It's inevitable when my daughter's family is old. Cousin Miaolian looks like a flower and jade, and she is looking for a good husband in the future."
Concubine Qiao's eloquence is good, she is gag and joke, making all the female relatives in the room amused.
Qi Shi sighed, "When I mention this, I can't help but want to ask the concubine Wang and the concubine to worry about it. This is my old girl. I have loved and raised her so much, but I don't dare to delay her."
Saying that, Mrs. Qi wiped away her tears, while Concubine He persuaded: "Madam can't cry. When you come to King Jing's mansion, His Highness will not watch his cousin's marriage be difficult."
The concubine Jing, who covered her mouth with a veil, smiled. This uncle and wife of the Li family is also a capable person, and she can climb up by following the pole. Thinking like this, Princess Jing said, "Cousin Miaolian is so talented, how can marriage be difficult in the future!"
Qi's expression brightened, and she hurriedly thanked: "Then the Empress Concubine Lao will take care of her."
The embarrassment on Princess Jing's face was very clear, and when she went to see Concubine Qiao, it seemed that both of them had something to hide.
What's wrong? This shouldn't be difficult, right
"Princess Queen..."
"This—" Princess Jing hesitated.
Concubine Qiao Fang sighed and said, "Uncle and Madam don't know. Our palace is very strict and the rules are strict. Our women's family spends all day in this backyard, and we can't help you with outside affairs."
"It's not difficult for noble ladies to meet each other on weekdays. Which family has a son of the right age, and it shouldn't be difficult to say that they are one and two." Qi thought that these two people did not want to help their daughter, so they refused.
Speaking of this Concubine Qiao and Concubine Jing, their faces are even more ugly. His Royal Highness is a dull temperament. King Jing's mansion is strict everywhere, and it is changed to other people. Ordinary ladies and ladies hold a banquet or something for communication, or subordinates. It is common for female relatives to walk around Shangfeng's house.
Only this King Jing Mansion, since the establishment of the mansion, has not had such a thing.
"Our Highness has strict rules. The rules of the house are all in accordance with the rules of the palace. There is no banquet."
Qi's disappointment can only be expressed in words. She has come to Changchun Court every day because of the idea of how close she is, and secondly, she wants to find a marriage for her daughter of the right age. What can we do now? Is it really possible to make my daughter become an old girl
Qi's family still believed what Princess Jing and Concubine Qiao said. When their family entered King Jing's mansion, they knew how strict the gate was when they saw the battle at the gate.
"Is it possible that I have to ask His Highness for help in this matter?"
How can you say something like this to a man!
For a while, the interior was very quiet.
Concubine Qiao put down the tea cup in her hand and smiled at Concubine Jing: "Otherwise, Concubine, don't worry, this uncle and wife have already talked about it, we can't delay our cousin Miaolian any longer, it's better to catch up sooner rather than later. , I will hold a banquet at Changchun Courtyard in the evening, and invite my uncle and master’s family to have a light meal. Everyone is relatives, so there is nothing to say at the right time!”
After hearing this, Princess Jing looked at Qi's family, Qi's family was also happy to see it, and the master also lamented that there was no chance to get close to his nephew, and now everything is complete.
"That's good, I have to thank the princess and the side concubine."
Princess Jing summoned a palace servant and instructed: "Send a letter to Your Highness, the uncle and the uncle's family will have a banquet at Changchun Courtyard at night, so His Highness must find time to come." Then she turned her head and said with a smile, "Your Highness. I’m busy with official business, but no matter how busy I am, I can’t even have a meal together. Your Highness is used to being taciturn, but in fact he respects my uncle and uncle.”
This word was quickly passed to King Jing, and the original words and the part that he said to his uncle and wife were all passed down. It seems that Princess Jing also knew that these palace servants were arranged by Fushun, and the words were so advanced that King Jing would definitely come.
Go is definitely going, but King Jing always has a disgusting feeling like swallowing a fly.
Fushun stood by and touched his nose, but did not speak.
In the evening, King Jing arrived as scheduled, and the seats were placed in the main hall and flower hall of Changchun Courtyard. There were three tables in total, one table for men, one table for female relatives, and one table for juniors. The concubines and concubines of the Li family were not qualified to serve the table, and they all waited on the concubines and concubines of their respective families.
Although King Jing is less talkative, the Li family is gazing on the side, and Princess Jing and Concubine Qiao are on the side, and the guests and hosts are happy.
Qi Shi wanted to say something several times, but Li Miaolian pulled him from the side, and didn't say anything until the banquet was scattered.
After the banquet, the Li family all left, leaving King Jing, Princess Jing, Concubine Qiao and Fushun in the main hall.
"The concubine has retired first."
Concubine Jing was very satisfied with Concubine Qiao's knowledge, and nodded kindly.
"Eunuch Fu, go down, this princess and His Highness have something to say."
Fu Shun glanced at King Jing, and when King Jing nodded, Fu Shun went out.
Princess Jing took a deep breath before taking her eyes back from Fu Shun and betting on King Jing beside her.
"My concubine would also like to thank His Highness for your tolerance. After such a long period of time, my concubine is also aware of my mistake. My concubine must remember her virtues in the future and stop doing those impulsive things."
Shaw admits wrong? This surprised King Jing, and he glanced sideways at her.
"Actually, the reason why the concubine did that was because she cared too much about His Highness..." As she said that, Princess Jing burst into tears and sobbed, "It's just that the concubine was raised in the house since she was a child, and her character is somewhat arbitrary. It caused His Highness's disgust. It will definitely be corrected in the future..."
King Jing is not unfamiliar with such words. In his previous life, Princess Jing had said similar things to him. He chose to believe it, completely forgetting how much she looked down on him before. At this time, he came here again, but he didn't feel anything at all. After all, he didn't want to pay attention to her, whether it was wrong or right, that's all.
It stands to reason that he should say a few words to express his attitude, but King Jing didn't know what to say. Two generations of husband and wife, to the point where he is now, he does not want to pursue who is right and who is wrong.
What's more, between him and Xiao Hua'er, Princess Jing has always been a topic that neither of them wants to bring up, which makes King Jing have a subtle state of mind that he can't avoid when facing Princess Jing.
At this time, facing Princess Jing's posture, his choice was to stand up and go out, neither listening nor watching.
After exiting the main hall, Fu Shun greeted him, and King Jing let out a sigh of relief.
Princess Jing's tearful face suddenly freezes. After a long time, her eyeballs began to roll, and a stern burst appeared.
King Jing and Fu Shun had just walked out of the gate of Changchun Courtyard when they bumped into Concubine Qiao, who was wearing a cloak with a close-fitting palace servant.
"Your Highness—"
Concubine Qiao leaned up and took King Jing's arm, "His Royal Highness hasn't seen his concubine for a long time, why don't you go to Rongxi Courtyard for a seat?"
This move and these words directly frightened King Jing and Fushun.
Dare to feel that this Qiao side concubine hinted that it is not good, and come directly
Fu Shun really wanted to roll up his sleeves and wipe his forehead. Would he like to save His Highness
Fushun was thinking so, when he realized that King Jing had broken away from Concubine Qiao's hand. He didn't speak, and quickly walked forward, no matter how he looked at it, there was an illusion of fleeing.
What happened that night really refreshed the three views of King Jing and Fushun, so much so that after entering the gate of the West Courtyard, the two of them could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't tell her."
King Jing left a sentence and went to the main room, while Fushun turned to the west wing.
When King Jing came back, Xiao Hua hurriedly ordered someone to sweep the snow off his cloak and changed his clothes and shoes.
Seeing the little flowers dressed in homely clothes under the light, the discomfort in my heart just now disappeared.
"Why didn't you stop?"
"Waiting for Your Highness."
King Jing nodded, took Xiao Hua to the bedroom, and asked someone to prepare water.
After the two of them washed up, they lay down on the bed.
After chatting for a while about the trivial matters of the two little guys, they went to sleep separately.
From the beginning to the end, neither of them mentioned that King Jing went to Changchun Courtyard, what happened, what they met, and how the person reacted.
Everyone is curious, but Xiaohua really has no curiosity about Princess Jing.
***
The Li family returned to the yard where they lived and went back to their houses.
Li Xuebing drank some wine today, and by this time his face was flushed red and his spirits were high. Qi Shi didn't have the heart to deal with him, so he asked two sons to talk to his father, but he went to Li Miaolian's house in the back room.
"Today, my mother wants to ask for a marriage for you and His Highness, why do you always stop me?"
Li Miaolian's face froze, and she sat in front of the dressing table without speaking.
"What about you?! What the hell are you thinking?"
Li Miaolian held back her words for a long time before she said, "My daughter doesn't want to get married for the time being."
"What do you want to do if you don't want to get married? Because your mother knows that your family has delayed your marriage, but neither your father nor I are willing. Things are unpredictable, didn't you just settle down and want to tell you a good marriage? ?"
"Anyway, I don't want to get married, mother, don't say it..."
"You, you, you really spoiled you for your mother. You can do this kind of thing if you don't want it? Who taught you to say such things... "
Li Miaolian was ashamed and embarrassed, so she threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.
"I said madam, you didn't understand the second miss's mind." At some point, Aunt He came to the door and said this.
"Who let you in? So unruly."
Concubine He fanned the wind with her hand and said coolly, "Madam, the third lady's room is next door, and you reprimanded the second lady so loudly, the concubine naturally wants to come over to see what happened, it's worth your anger. "
"And what do you mean, what do you mean?"
Aunt He glanced at Qi's family, "Madam, did you really not see it or what? I can't see the source of the second lady's unwillingness to marry? Our second lady has a big heart, how wasteful it is to marry such a big King Jing's mansion. Ah, the wealth here can't be compared anywhere else."
"you-"
I don't know when, Li Miaolian's crying has stopped.
"Do you really think so?" Qi's expression was rather complicated, and he shouted sharply, "Your cousin has a wife and a concubine, and he is a concubine when you marry him! Your child is blinded by lard!"
No matter what, the Qi family did not want her daughter, who had grown up so petite, to marry someone as a concubine.
"What happened to the concubine? The concubine is also the concubine of the royal family!"
"Aunt He, stop provoking here!"
"Okay, okay, I'm cheap, Madam doesn't worry about what's going on at home, why should I, a concubine, bother! I haven't walked around with others for decades, and I don't know what the master thought at the beginning, whoever has a prince's nephew will be able to Make offerings well, but the practice has changed when you switch to the Li family. This family has defected to others, and if it sounds good, they are relatives, and others should treat them with dignity. lifetime?"
"Today, the master has mentioned that he wants to find an errand in secret several times. Do you see that His Highness has answered? To put it bluntly, they are not close to us, so what about the uncle, who usually does not cover the heat, but burns incense temporarily. Others are fools? It was sung in the play, first the ruler and the minister, then the father and son, others treat you as your uncle or uncle, if you are not, you have to kneel and salute when you see others!"
"It's a waste of words. If it wasn't for the young lady, I wouldn't mind having multiple sons-in-law of the prince. Would I be wronged if I married my cousin?"
Aunt He muttered, and the person opened the door to leave, but bumped into Li Xuebing, Li Hongchang, and Li Hongqian standing outside the door.
It turned out that there was too much commotion in the back room, and the three people in the main room also heard it coming, who would have heard He Yiniang's words standing at the door.
"Aunt He said it well." Li Hongchang was the first to praise.
Li Xuebing's face was unpredictable, and he walked into the house and asked his daughter, "Does Lian'er really think so?"
Li Miaolian just covered her face and did not speak.
Li Xuebing stroked his beard and said, "Dashan, Dashan."
The author has something to say: ps: I really want to write a story about the stuffy scene being chased by my obsessed cousin, but Su, I know that you definitely don't like to watch this, so I don't have it.
Wishful thinking is everyone's right, so →_→ don't blame them. Can't you not give others things and not allow others to think about it? o(n_n)o haha~
