The ten days Song Jianing had been out of the palace had been very uncomfortable.
The first is physical discomfort. There was a rash on the lower part of the left face that was connected to the chin. It was just when it came out, and it couldn't be touched or pressed. It was fine during the day, but Song Jianing ignored it, but at night, sleeping became a problem, so he was afraid that he would turn left and press his face.
Mrs. Tai thought of a way to ask Shuang'er and several maids to watch the night for her in turn, just staring at the side, not allowing her to turn around. Afraid that the maids would take a nap and delay things, the mother simply asked the maids to tie her with a gauze band and tie the other end to the outside of the bed, so that Song Jianing, who was sleeping soundly, could turn to the right, but not to the left.
The method was a little ruthless, but the girl's face could not be missed. In case of scars, it would be Song Jianing who would suffer.
Fortunately, Song Jianing sleeps more honestly, and doesn't have the habit of turning over and over. He can sleep soundly even with things strapped to his body.
But Song Jianing felt very uncomfortable.
The day she was sent out of the palace happened to be the day when the second sister Lan Fang returned home. The second aunt was happy, but she ended up in such a mess. Song Jianing didn't have the heart to compare with her second sister, she just compared the two sides, it seemed that she and her mother were too desolate, and the tears that her mother shed when she felt sorry for her made Song Jianing sour and unstoppable.
How much she wanted her marriage to go smoothly and make her mother proud.
It was already bitter, and the third lady came to taunt her, obviously to visit her condition, and laughed at her even if she got the chance to be drafted, but she didn't have the life of being a princess. Song Jianing had a hard life in her past life and was ridiculed a few words in this life. She actually didn't care, but she couldn't stand her mother's anger, but she had to suppress her anger and comfort her gentle appearance first.
In the past ten days, Song Jianing didn't know how she came here. Now she is holding the imperial edict that Emperor Xuande conferred her marriage on her to make King Shou Wang's concubine, thinking of King Shou's nine-day immortal handsome appearance, and thinking that this man will become a man in the future. The new emperor has become the most honorable person in the world, and she actually wants to marry him by order...
Song Jianing was dizzy. She had never dreamed of such a ridiculous dream. She was like a disaster victim who was so poor that she was about to starve to death. When she looked up, she suddenly saw a golden mountain falling from the sky. Endless. At this time, Song Jianing was the disaster victim who got a huge discount. Facing the good luck that fell from the sky, he was at a loss.
Lin Shi also couldn't believe his own ears. Seeing that Father Xuanzhi was smiling and holding up his daughter, his smile was so bright that it was almost flattering. Lin Shi finally regained his senses and looked at Mrs. Tai while she supported her daughter's arm. , while whispering to the father-in-law of Xuanzhi: "Princess, didn't you choose from the beautiful girls? Why..."
When speaking, Lin Shi showed a surprised smile, lest the father-in-law would misunderstand that she was not happy that her daughter was the princess. Of course, it is a great honor for her daughter to be Princess Shou. Lin was really pleasantly surprised, but the good news came too unexpectedly.
Eunuch Xuanzhi also didn’t understand the twists and turns. Looking at the prospective princess wearing a cap, he smiled and said: “The four girls are from a prestigious family, with both political integrity and talent. They only leave the palace temporarily because of physical discomfort. I still remember the goodness of the four girls after working hard on the state affairs, which means that the four girls are destined nobles."
Born in a prestigious family, both virtuous and talented...
After hearing these eight words, Mrs. Lin wanted to laugh inexplicably, but after hearing that the marriage was bestowed by Emperor Xuande himself, Mrs. Lin finally believed that her daughter was really going to be a princess. Yu Guang glanced at the third lady who had a complicated look, and Lin swept away the gloom of the first half of the month, warmly invited the father-in-law to go to the hall for tea, and then secretly stuffed a big red seal for the other party.
Father Xuanzhi returned to the palace with satisfaction and returned to his life.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere of the Duke's mansion suddenly relaxed, and Mrs. Tai took her little granddaughter into her arms and hugged her hard, her eyes narrowed with a smile: "They say that we are stupid, but we don't know how stupid we are. People have stupid blessings, look, the princess was sealed in the blink of an eye, she lives so close, she will get married in the future, turn right and walk a few steps from the door to her parents' house, it's not like your big sister, second sister, and the others. ."
The second lady also came to congratulate her.
Only the third lady smiled reluctantly. She couldn't figure out what to say in her heart. Why did Song Jianing go out of the palace with a rash, and she even got a princess. King Shou, King Shou, don't say it's just stammering, even the mute is also a prince. If the King of Chu wins the throne in the future, the younger brother of King Shou is one person below ten thousand people, how many people will be able to stammer.
The more she thought about it, the more sour she became, and then she looked at her daughter who was pursing her lips tightly, and the third lady's chest overflowed with envy and jealousy, and there was a trace of hatred. If it wasn't for Song Jianing's relationship with Lu Zhen who involved her daughter, how could her daughter be engaged to the son of the Huang family so early last year? If she didn't get married, her daughter would definitely participate in this draft. In terms of daughters from famous families, wouldn't her daughter be inferior to Song Jianing, an outsider? In terms of virtue and talent, how can a daughter be stronger than the greedy Song Jianing
God is so unfair, why should good luck be given to the mother and daughter of the Lin family? It's not enough for a widow to be the princess of the country, she actually made her daughter a princess!
The third lady was suffocated to death, pretended to be perfunctory, and then led a pair of children back to the third room.
When Mrs. Tai and Mrs. 2 left one after another, Mrs. Lin ordered Qiuyue to take Brother Mao to the yard to play. She finally had time to talk to her daughter. She sat beside the bed and held her daughter's white and tender little hand. Intimately interrogated: "An An tells the truth to her mother, isn't the lord already interested in you?"
After the shock, Lin has been wondering why her daughter can be a princess. The daughter of a famous family has both political integrity and talent. Lin didn't believe a word. Her daughter's identity was embarrassed. Daughter can never be given marriage.
With speculation, and thinking about the cherry-colored paint that Shouwang gave his daughter last year, and the cherries that he gave to his son last year, Mr. Lin naturally thought of his children's private affairs. Carefully helping her daughter take off the hood, and then looking at her charming right face and her clear and ignorant almond eyes, Lin became more and more sure of her guess.
The women in the inner house value their family background, but men choose women mostly because of their looks, even if they marry a famous family girl as their wife, but if there is some powerful money in the family, they will also accept a few beautiful concubines to please themselves. Why did Guo Boyan marry her as a widow as his successor? In the final analysis, I still saw her face first.
With such a beautiful daughter, the King Shou, who she has never met before, has been tempted by chance.
Song Jianing listened to her mother's words, but didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and subconsciously tilted her head to cover her left face, which had not recovered, Song Jianing said helplessly, "Where is my mother, I have dealt with the prince several times, but the prince has never shown that It means, at most, treat me as a cousin." It was only the mother, who regarded her as a treasure, as if it was rare for everyone.
Lin slapped her daughter gently: "What kind of cousin are you? None of your three sisters dare to call others cousin."
Song Jianing defended aggrievedly: "I don't dare to call, he called my cousin first." Otherwise, she would not dare to go to the future emperor to climb relatives.
Lin Shi's heart moved, squeezed her daughter's hand and said, "When did the lord call your cousin?"
Song Jianing tilted her head to think about it, and said her words of encouragement in the pavilion when she went to the Chu Palace as a guest after she was disliked by Lu Zhen, and met King Shou by chance. Although King Shou was well-meaning, he was always cold and quiet, and he didn't seem to like her no matter what. As for this marriage, Song Jianing suddenly felt nervous when he thought that Emperor Xuande didn't marry King Shou three years ago. She didn't understand what her mother said.
Why did the emperor arrange for her to marry King Shou
Everyone in the capital knew that the emperor disliked the son of King Shou the most, and her reputation was not as good as that of other noble girls. Even if she had a good-looking face, she was still a fat girl. Could it be that Emperor Xuande pointed her to King Shou, and he neglected King Shou and favored others. A means of the prince? If so, wouldn't she have implicated King Shou? When the people heard that Princess Shou was a gluttonous and ugly girl with a rash and face who was suspected of being rejected by the second son of the Lu family, they would definitely make fun of King Shou again, right
Thinking of this, Song Jianing suddenly became restless. First, he felt distressed that King Shou was not favored by his father, and secondly, he was worried that King Shou did not want to marry her and would neglect her after marriage.
"Mother, it's really like this, what should I do?" Song Jianing asked her mother uneasily.
Lin's brows furrowed when her daughter was halfway through. Her previous guesses were somewhat based, but her daughter's words did not seem unreasonable. If Emperor Xuande really wanted to use his daughter to make Shouwang look ugly, how could his daughter marry into Shouwang's mansion
"An'an, don't worry, when your father comes back, I will ask him to inquire." Lin shi comforted his daughter for the time being.
Song Jianing nodded and put on the cap again.
When Guo Boyan returned to the mansion in the evening, Mrs Lin said with some resentment, "Didn't your grandfather say that An An will definitely lose the election?"
Guo Boyan just smiled, with no embarrassment on his face, he just pulled his wife to his side, puzzled: "An An has become a princess, you still don't want it?" He thought his wife would be very happy. Her own daughter married the best.
Lin Shi sighed and whispered his worries.
Guo Boyan may not be able to guess the reason why Emperor Xuande chose his stepdaughter to be the princess, but he never doubted the father-son relationship between Emperor Xuande and several princes, and said to his silly wife funny: "If you meet King Shou someday, you will know. , such a character, I and other officials feel a pity, the emperor is his biological father, if you want to be partial to him, you will never hate him."
Lin Shi didn't believe it: "Since it is partial, why did the palace choose to be in the outer city? No marriage was given that year."
Guo Boyan was silent for a moment before he said: "You and I can guess the heart of the emperor, all I know is that the emperor once ordered all states and counties to put up notices and invited famous doctors from all over the world to come to Beijing to diagnose and treat mouth diseases for King Shou. When the rage was unwilling to be cured, those notices were taken down."
The relationship between father and son seems to be indifferent over the years, but Emperor Xuande has never lost King Shou. Other princes have it, and King Shou has it.
"By the way, the King Shou entered the palace yesterday, maybe it's related to the marriage."
Lin Shi was shocked: "Really?"
Guo Boyan nodded.
Lin's eyes wandered, and suddenly he felt that King Shou had already taken a fancy to his daughter.
Then the next day, Lin received a post from the Shouwangfu, saying that the Shouwang was coming to visit his prospective princess.
