King Shou's post said that if it is convenient for the government to come here, he will come over in half an hour.
That is a prince's prospective son-in-law, even if it is inconvenient for Lin's, it will become more convenient.
After sending away the little eunuch who was running errands, Lin asked Qiuyue to tell her daughter to get ready quickly, and she came to Changxinyuan with the post. Mrs. Tai took over the post and looked at it. Seeing that it said "no need to work with teachers and mobilize the public", Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "My lord is so quiet. In this case, you don't need to let your brothers and sisters come over. I'll go with you to greet them."
Lin Shi was a little worried: "Mother, An An's face is still in good shape, will it surprise the prince?" I was afraid that King Shou would dislike his daughter's ugly appearance at this time. Although the daughter is beautiful, she will definitely return to her original beauty in a few days, but as a woman, it is better not to let a man see any ugly side of himself, lest a man remember it in his heart, and occasionally think about it in the future, which will affect his interest.
Mrs. Tai understood her daughter-in-law's concerns, and said, "The lord just came to visit and asked An An to put on the veil and speak with his eyes open. As long as An An doesn't pluck it by herself, the lord can ask her to pluck it?" She remembered the cold and lonely King Shou , but wouldn't do that kind of thing. To be honest, Mrs. Tai was surprised that Shou Wang, who had always been a widow, could think of caring about his fiancée.
When Lin heard this, she laughed at herself, but she was really concerned and confused.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Linyuntang and went to the backyard together to see how Song Jianing was preparing.
After more than ten days of meticulous care, the rash on Song Jianing's face has almost healed, with only a few light red marks left. Can't scratch it, it's really uncomfortable. Mrs. Tai gave her granddaughter a pair of sandalwood beads bracelets. Song Jianing played with beads when she had nothing to do, so as to divide her heart.
As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the capital was already hot. Because there was no need to go out, Song Jianing only wore a light blue silk robe, with blue silk combed into two buns, a thin sea of sparse layers on the forehead, and a snow-white neck on the back. Son, how come it is cool. He was playing leaf cards with Shuang’er, Liu’er, and Jiu’er on the cool couch. When he heard that King Shou was coming, the four masters and servants immediately got busy. Jiu’er put away the cards, Shuang’er helped Song Jianing put on shoes to stay, and Liu’er hurriedly went to get the veil.
Although he was busy, he was full of joy. Who told the future uncle to be the prince
When Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Lin came over, Song Jianing had already dressed up and changed into a water-red makeup robe, with a white veil on her face, only revealing a pair of black and moist almond eyes, and those pupils stared nervously. Elders, like elk lost in the forest, are really lovable.
Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction, and half covering her face like this was more attractive than not wearing a veil.
Lin shi walked up to her daughter and instructed her in a low voice. Then she led her daughter, Mrs. Tai led Brother Mao, and the three generations waited in the hall of the main courtyard of the Guogong Mansion. There was still about a quarter of an hour before the half hour mentioned in the post of King Shou, and the master and servant went to the main gate ahead of time, waiting for King Shou to drive.
King Shou arrived on time, wearing a jade-colored dark-patterned embroidered python summer robe, and walking over in the dazzling sunlight, his expression was quiet, and he hesitated for a cool breeze. Mrs. Tai had already experienced King Shou's style long ago, so she was not surprised when she met him, and saluted respectfully. Song Jianing only glanced at the shadow of King Shouwang and lowered his head nervously. Only Lin Shi and four-year-old Brother Mao, who met his prospective son-in-law for the first time, looked at the fairy-like prince in surprise, and the other looked curiously and ignorantly.
After a short period of amazement, Lin shi lowered his eyes and saluted in time to hide his joy.
"Get up." Zhao Heng had already walked in front of the four of them and said simply, his eyes swept over Song Jianing and landed on the face of Brother Mao, who had been staring at him boldly.
Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Lin, and Song Jianing all stood up straight. As for Brother Mao, he was too young to salute at all. Seeing an unfamiliar man staring at him, Brother Mao was a little scared, so he took his grandmother's hand and leaned against him. . Mrs. Tai smiled and touched the top of her grandson's head, and warmly invited King Shou to sit in the hall.
There is a difference between seniority and inferiority. Zhao Heng sat on the throne on the north side, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Lin sat on the lower right side of him. Brother Mao was brought by Mrs. Tai, Song Jianing stood on the side of her mother with her eyes down, and she behaved well. , did not dare to look at Zhao Heng at a glance, and listened to the grandmother, mother and future emperor in a panic.
In fact, she didn't say anything. Mrs. Tai knew that King Shou was speechless and did not dare to greet other distinguished guests. She only smiled to express the gratitude of the Duke's government for this marriage, and then euphemistically listed a few of Song Jianing's Insufficient, I hope King Shou will take more care. Zhao Heng has always looked light from the time he entered the door to the present. Mrs. Tai paused, and he needed a response before he nodded.
With such a granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Tai gradually had a headache, and she really couldn't find anything to say.
Eunuch Fu rescued her in time, bent down and said with a smile: "My lord learned that the fourth girl is unwell, and I came here today mainly to ask about the fourth girl's current situation. The madam and the lady of the country will be busy, don't delay. business in the house."
Mrs. Tai understood, got up and said, "Thank you, Lord, for being sympathetic, then the court lady will go to take care of the common affairs in the mansion. If the Lord has instructed you, send someone to summon me at any time."
Zhao Heng nodded slightly.
Mrs. Tai then took Brother Mao and went out with her daughter-in-law. Before leaving, Mrs. Lin quietly gave her daughter a wink.
Song Jianing lowered his eyes obediently, not seeing...
After everyone left, Eunuch Fu also retreated outside the hall, hiding behind the doors and windows, not obstructing the master's eyes at the door.
The hall was quiet, Song Jianing pursed his lips nervously, and looked away, only to see the jade-colored hem of King Shouwang, the fabric was smooth, and there was no wrinkle, and a pair of black satin square-toed shoes were exposed under the hem. This is the first time Song Jianing has seen King Shou's feet. She couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then found that King Shou's feet are quite big. If you make shoes and socks for him, it will definitely take more effort.
"look up."
The quiet hall suddenly sounded the man's order as cool as water, Song Jianing's heart tightened and she looked at him blankly. The eyes met, and before she could see the pair of eyes that refused a thousand miles, she saw Shou Dynasty's host opposite him raised his chin and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness for the seat." Song Jianing saluted and walked over obediently. Just as she was about to sit, she realized later that she was going to face King Shou with her left face. The edges of the veil were loose, and it was very likely that King Shou saw the red mark on her face. Song Jianing's body stiffened and he was in a dilemma. In the end, he turned around and said to the king of longevity nervously: "My lord, I, should I still stand?"
Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows to look at her: "Why?"
Song Jianing's cheeks were hot, and he gently touched the veil on the left.
Zhao Heng followed her movement and looked over. He understood. After a moment of silence, he pointed to the first chair on his right: "Sit."
The future emperor was so considerate, Song Jianing was overjoyed and went to sit there, his body slightly deflected towards him.
Zhao Heng smelled the faint scent of medicine, looked at her veil, and could only vaguely see her red lips, but her face could not be seen. Zhao Heng wanted to look at her face, but she was so careful when wearing the veil, Zhao Heng didn't want to force her, stared at the half-drooping almond eyes of the prospective princess and said, "Marry me, are you willing?"
Song Jianing has been thinking about their marriage for the past two days. Hearing this, she stood up hurriedly and lowered her head, "Being able to marry the prince is the greatest blessing in my life. I, I'm just afraid that my reputation will be bad and I will implicate the prince."
"Not good?" Zhao Heng asked lightly.
Song Jianing pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "I was right on the second couplet of the last year of the Spring Festival. The people in the capital knew that I was delicious, and this time on my face... There seems to be some rumors outside that my appearance has been ruined... "
"Take it off." Zhao Heng interrupted her suddenly.
Song Jianing was stunned and looked over in surprise.
Zhao Heng reminded indifferently, "The veil."
Song Jianing panicked, subconsciously tilted her head to the left, and said embarrassedly, "My lord, I, my face has not been fully taken care of, you better not look at it, I am afraid to scare you."
Zhao Heng stared at her flustered eyes, didn't say anything, just stood up, and came to her in just two or three steps.
As he approached step by step, Song Jianing was shocked to find that he hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. King Shou was even taller than when he put on the river lanterns on the Mid-Yuan Festival last year. Gives a feeling of pressure from the heart. Song Jianing was a little scared, but she didn't dare to hide, so she could only watch the man raise his hand and stretch it out in front of her.
Song Jianing closed her eyes resignedly, her thick eyelashes trembling uncomfortably.
Zhao Heng noticed it, his hand paused on the side of her face for a moment, and finally changed direction and slowly took off the veil on her right side. Her eyes closed even tighter, and Zhao Heng lowered the veil little by little, revealing only her right cheek and half of her cherry-red and moist lips. He watched silently, the beautiful face in his memory was still white, tender and delicate, and it could be broken by blowing a bullet, but it seemed to be reduced a bit.
After reading it, Zhao Heng hung the veil for her again.
Song Jianing opened his eyes unexpectedly and raised his head.
"Not destroyed." Zhao Heng looked at her and said calmly.
Song Jianing didn't hear clearly at first, but when the man returned to the throne, she suddenly reacted, and when she recalled the movement of the man who gently lifted her veil just now, Song Jianing's face flushed red, and she was shy and wanted to laugh. Of course it wasn't ruined, because she hurt the left side of her face, and it was strange that he could see the rash when he looked at the right side of her face.
But Song Jianing wouldn't remind King Shou, he was secretly having fun in his heart, but he didn't expect that the future honor of Ninety-five would also make such a mistake.
"The wedding date is November." Zhao Heng took a sip of tea and spoke again.
Song Jianing hummed, the wedding date of the two was set for November this year, and there was only half a year left.
"You, wait for marriage." She didn't speak, and Zhao Heng had nothing to say, got up, and whispered.
"Yes." Song Jianing said respectfully.
Zhao Heng snorted and walked straight out of the door. Song Jianing turned around and followed, wanting to know that his grandmother and mother would come to send him off together, but King Shou walked fast, so she had to go alone. After walking a few steps, the man suddenly paused. Song Jianing thought he had an order and stopped immediately. But King Shou didn't say anything and continued to walk forward, but Eunuch Fu turned around and smiled at her: "My lord, please stay with the girl."
Song Jianing opened his mouth in astonishment, did King Shou speak? Why didn't she hear
