"I remember someone said that the little girl from the Renhua family is treated like a sister. How can there be a brother who thinks about a girl or a girl? Wouldn't that be the same as a beast?" Emperor Changlong looked at his smiling son and endured. He couldn't stop stabbing him, "It's better now, kidnapped a little girl to go out to play, and still don't want to go home, tell yourself, what is this doing?"
"Imperial Father, if such an unexpected thing happened, how could my son be able to control himself." The prince bowed his hands to Emperor Changlong and smiled cheekily: "I didn't tell you a few days ago, I think I am a gentleman. Animals? There is a popular saying that if a man's words are trustworthy, a pig can climb a tree."
"Did you have such thoughts at that time?" Emperor Changlong interrupted the prince, frowning, "Yuan Su, you should know that she almost became your elder brother's princess, if it wasn't because Concubine Xian was unwilling, maybe they Even the wedding date is set."
"Royal father, the eldest brother has already made an appointment for the daughter of the Lin family, and his marriage has nothing to do with Fushou County Master." The prince sat on the chair, and he would not leave unless something was resolved: "Royal father, the minister is like this. Da, I finally value a girl, if you don't help Erchen, no one will make up my mind for me."
"You have used this rhetoric countless times in front of me, and it is no longer fresh." Emperor Changlong said disgustedly, "She is the daughter of a general, not a woman chosen by the people to fill the harem. What's the use of you like her, I can't force her to marry you, if I really do that, wouldn't it chill the hero's heart?"
"My son understands." The crown prince had long expected that Emperor Changlong would make such remarks, and he smiled and said, "You don't object to the son's favorite Fushou County Master."
Emperor Changlong was silent for two seconds, then picked up a book on the table and smashed it at the prince: "I know that you stinky brat is digging holes and jumping for me, and usually let you read the memorial and don't like to move, in these matters. One by one ghost ideas."
"Marriage matters can't be played with children, and the servants naturally have a lot to think about." The prince turned his head to avoid the book that Emperor Changlong smashed over, got up and picked it up, walked to Emperor Changlong, and bowed: "I also ask the father and emperor to complete the children's ministers. ."
"Alas." Emperor Changlong took the book out of the crown prince's hand, "Yuan Su, before that girl from the Hua family entered the capital, I didn't know that she was so weak, you are the crown prince, the future emperor of Dajin, marrying A frail princess is not good for you."
"Father, there is no queen in your harem, and you can live in peace for so many years. What does it matter if your son marry a weaker prince concubine?" The prince paused, "Although Fushou County's body is weaker, But slowly nurture, there will be a better day."
"But what if you change your mind and there are other women in the harem, but her body is still weak?" Emperor Changlong looked at the prince seriously, "On that day, the harem will be her tomb. At that time, you, no It reminds me of the mood and patience of today.”
"You just said that if a man's words are reliable, pigs can climb a tree. I believe you are serious now, but what about tomorrow and the day after?"
"There are so many tomorrows, can you guarantee that they will never change?"
"You are my most beloved son, Ying Ting and Mingyue are good generals I trust. When I was in danger, they never stayed away from me because of rumors, but paid a lot for me. After I ascended the throne, their husband and wife guarded me. At the border, I have thousands of family wealth but I don’t have time to enjoy it.” Emperor Changlong walked to the imperial chair and sat down, “The way I treat my daughter in the courtroom is like I treat you. In the future, if you treat her badly, how will I face it? The two of them?"
It was because of this consideration that he planned to ask the simple-minded boss to marry a girl from the Hua family, so that Hua Liuli would have status without being bound by the harem.
It's a pity that the boss and Concubine Xian don't want this marriage, and he doesn't want the little girl of the Hua family to have a mother-in-law who is always dissatisfied with her, so this can only be regarded as not happening.
"Many men are born lustful and lecherous, Yuan Su, it's not that I can't trust you, it's that I can't trust men." Emperor Changlong had a "we are all men, you understand" expression on his face, and said earnestly: "I won't stop you, but I won't help you say good things in front of Ying Court."
"That's right." Holding the heart of his beloved son, Emperor Changlong added, "The pursuit of the person you love should not be rushed, especially not to offend your mother-in-law. You must pay attention to your words and deeds in front of Wei Mingyue. Accidentally angered her, she wants to do something to you..." Emperor Changlong thought for a while, "You remember to run faster and don't argue with her."
"Imperial Father?" The crown prince didn't quite understand what Emperor Changlong meant.
"That's what I said, just keep things in your mind." Emperor Changlong lifted the teacup, "I'm very busy, I don't have time to tell you this, go back to bed early, and remember to arrive on time tomorrow morning."
Being kicked out of Chenyang Palace by his father, the crown prince didn't have the slightest annoyance on his face, as long as the father did not object to his plan to marry Liuli.
As for the father's other concerns, only the future can prove it.
Any strong and touching vows are useless. Only time and action are qualified to judge.
"The Crown Prince returned to the palace so late, so His Majesty didn't punish him. Instead, he left him to talk for a long time in Chenyang Palace." Concubine Xian said unhappily, "A man spoils his child, why is there no bottom line?"
Most of the stinky faults in the Prince's body are the ones that His Majesty is used to.
A loving father loses many children.
But let him lose if he loses, it's not a child from her belly anyway. She wished that the prince would always be arrogant and cause trouble everywhere, which aroused dissatisfaction among the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty. At that time, even if His Majesty did not want to abolish Ji Yuansu's crown prince.
"Niangniang." Seeing Concubine Xian's imaginative smile, the maid reminded in a low voice, "The daughter of the Lin family is here, you want to see her."
"Let her in." Concubine Xian was not too satisfied with Lin Wan, but because of the Hua Liuli who made her even more dissatisfied, and Lin Wan's father was quite prestigious among the civil servants, she was reluctant to tolerate Lin Wan.
More importantly, she wanted to use Lin Wan's identity to win over Concubine Lin and the fourth prince, and let them secretly support her son, so it was more in line with her current interests to have her son marry Lin Wan.
After Lin Wan entered the door, Concubine Xian greeted her affectionately and gave Lin Wan the silk and satin rouge gouache that she had prepared in advance. She smiled and asked the maid to take Lin Wan to the side hall to rest.
"Niangniang, the second princess sent someone to tell me that since Miss Lin only took a maid with her when she went out, the second princess took the maid she needed by her side to serve Miss Lin, and then... found something."
Seeing the palace maid talking hesitantly, Concubine Xian had a bad feeling in her heart: "Tell me."
"Miss Lin happened to meet the prince today when he was enjoying the scenery, but the prince was indifferent towards Miss Lin and seemed to be very dissatisfied." The palace maid told the story again, "At noon, the prince, the prince, and the princess of Fushou were still there. It was used by Miss Lin. After dinner, she went to enjoy the flowers in Fushou County. Miss Lin chased and said a few words to Fushou County Master. Because they were standing far away, the two maids did not hear what Miss Qinglin said, and the prince looked ugly. He reprimanded her a few words, so scared that Miss Lin knelt down and pleaded guilty..."
"What is she doing to provoke Hua Liuli?" Before she could hear what happened, Concubine Xian's temper exploded first, "When she first came to visit Ben Gong, Ben Gong told her that Hua Liuli was not in good health, and usually If you see her, stay away, and don't provoke it, why does she still come up to find something by herself?"
That Hua Liuli is very evil, she and her mother's family got into trouble with her, how could anyone dare to go up there
"Xu... It's not long before Miss Lin returned to Beijing, and she didn't have much contact with Fushou County Master, so I don't know the seriousness of the matter." The palace maid thought to herself, the most serious thing in this matter should be that Miss Lin knelt down to the prince. Please be guilty.
"Our Dajin is not the small country called Yinshan next to us. If you have something to do, you will let a woman kneel down. As my son's future wife, how can she kneel casually in front of people?" Concubine Xian frowned, "Lin Zhou Known as a well-known name, when faced with robbers, she can't change her face, how can she have a daughter with weak knees, is there some misunderstanding?"
Dajin is not a place where you have to kneel everywhere, even in front of His Majesty, you don't have to kneel when you meet.
"Niangniang is right, there may be some misunderstanding." The palace maid hurriedly said, "Seeing that Miss Lin has a moderate advance and retreat, her character is also docile, and she can get along well with His Royal Highness in the future."
"Hopefully." Concubine Xian was a little confused. As a mother, she couldn't see that her son didn't like Lin Wan. But as a mother, I don't want my son to like a woman like Hua Liuli.
"Alas." Concubine Xian sighed, pity the parents of the world, it is not easy to be a mother.
The Hua family, a family of four sat around a table.
Hua Liuli scooped the beef balls into Hua Changkong's bowl: "Third brother, eat this, eat this smoothly, and make sure you are on the list."
"Come on, eat another piece of pumpkin soup, this color has a good meaning, I wish you a gold medal title." Hua Yingting scooped a large spoonful of pumpkin soup into the Hua Changkong bowl.
Seeing that his mother was also preparing to serve him vegetables, Hua Changkong quickly covered his bowl: "Mother, don't imitate your father and younger sister, it's not good to be superstitious."
Wei Mingyue put down the chopsticks with some regret: "The list will be posted tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"Is it okay?" Hua Changkong thought for a while, "My son still has confidence in himself."
"Well, that's good." Wei Mingyue nodded, "You are my son of Wei Mingyue, so your brain shouldn't be too bad."
"Mother is the smartest woman in the entire Dajin. As long as the third brother is half as smart as you, he will definitely pass the test." Hua Liuli pleases, "Come on, you can taste this dish."
"Liu Li, I heard that you went out to play today?" Wei Mingyue put down her chopsticks and looked at Hua Liuli.
"Didn't you watch your daughter come back?" Hua Liuli felt a little guilty.
"You didn't come back until it was almost dark. It was still early. I thought you wouldn't come back until midnight." Wei Mingyue looked at her with a half-smiling smile, "The dinner isn't good either, it's just eating outside. already?"
"I just ate a little more." Hua Liuli stretched out her hand and compared a short distance, "Mother, it's not all my fault, the beauty is too attractive and the food is too delicious, so my daughter can't help it. Stay a while."
"With whom?" Hua Yingting asked angrily, "Which family can't teach their son, and will play with the little girl until dark before going home?"
"Prince, Your Highness." Hua Liuli looked left and right, but didn't look into Hua Yingting's eyes, "This is really an accident, next time my daughter must come back earlier."
"It turned out to be the prince..." Hua Yingting was silent for a moment, bowed his head to eat, and decided to give up discussing the other party's tutoring issue.
"I remember you said that there is no love between men and women for the prince."
"There is no love between men and women, so you can appreciate it." Hua Liuli grabbed Wei Mingyue's arm and shook it, "Mother, my daughter thinks the prince is very pitiful."
"Oh?" Wei Mingyue didn't know that the current prince was actually pitiful.
So Hua Liuli told her family a story about "the life and death of an infatuated man and an infatuated woman, the life of an infatuated man is better than death, and the story of being surrounded by thoughts every night".
"Is this what the prince told you?" Wei Mingyue has heard many rumors about the prince, but he has a woman who loves like life, but no one mentions it.
"That's not true. This matter seems to be very painful for the prince, so he doesn't want to mention it. It was his daughter's guess." Hua Liuli said confidently, "My daughter has seen a lot of life and death matters at the border. You can see at a glance what you think of the prince."
Hua Yingting and Hua Changkong were both stunned. It turns out that the prince is such an infatuated person
"My daughter heard that he meant to follow the dead, how can you rest assured." Hua Liuli sighed, "Prince has a special status, if something happens to him, he will be in big trouble. Today is to make him happy. , my daughter has put a lot of effort into it, but I can't just watch him think about it."
"If this is the case, and the prince intends to be with you, it doesn't matter if you enlighten him more." Wei Mingyue sighed, "But the most important thing is to protect yourself."
Known daughter Mo Ruomu, if the prince is not good-looking, the daughter will definitely not have such good patience now.
"My daughter still has a guess. The person His Royal Highness likes may be a weak and sick girl. He is willing to be close to me because his daughter has similarities with that girl." Speaking of this, Hua Liuli couldn't help but tut. , "It's really pitiful, the loved one died, and the world seems to be full of the shadow of the lover."
"Liu Li." Wei Mingyue stared at her daughter for a moment, "If you read some messy books in the future, I will let you copy the books a hundred times."
Hua Liuli: "..."
Aren't they talking about the prince's sad emotional history? Why did she turn around in the blink of an eye to such a trivial matter as whether she could read the book
"Tomorrow, the queen mother is going to take her daughter into the palace for a few days. Will her daughter go or not?" Under the strong desire to survive, Hua Liuli found a suitable topic to talk about.
"Do you want to go?" Hua Yingting asked.
"The Empress Dowager is humorous, and she treats her daughter very well. Every time she goes to see her, she is reluctant to leave her daughter. When she comes to her old man's house, she wants her daughter to accompany her." There is no grandmother, so the queen mother is a shadow of her grandmother in her heart.
"Someone said outside that the prince is close to you in order to numb our family." Hua Yingting said, "What do you think?"
"Good or bad, my daughter has her own judgment and will not listen to other people's rumors." Hua Liuli smiled at Hua Yingting, "Dad, my daughter decided to stay in the palace for a few days."
"Okay." Hua Yingting also smiled, "You are my daughter, Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue. Although you have to act in a prudent way, you are not intimidating. Let the maid pack your luggage for you tonight. You are in the palace. Despite having fun, we have everything outside the palace."
"Thank you Daddy." Hua Liuli rushed into Wei Mingyue's arms and rubbed it, "Thank you mother."
Wei Mingyue hugged her daughter and sighed helplessly: "The fifteen-year-old girl is still like a five- or six-year-old child."
Hua Changkong, who is silently cooking rice, is not all your pet
Before dawn, the queen mother woke up.
"Have the side hall been cleaned up? The child Liuli is weak, and there can be no dust in the room."
"Please rest assured, the queen mother, everything in the side hall has been tidy up."
"There are also clothes and jewelry. You can't miss it." The queen mother ordered the palace maid and eunuch around, "Aijia heard that Concubine Xian invited the daughter of the Lin family to the palace?"
"The daughter of the Lin family entered the palace last night."
"They are all daughters of foreign ministers, and Aijia cannot let Liuli be compared by Miss Lin." The queen mother worried that Lin Wan was the future Princess of Ying, and Hua Liuli would be wronged when she was with her, so she invited the female officials around her, "In the future, Liuli only needs to go out. You can take care of the gate of Shoukang Palace, and you can't let her be wronged."
"The Empress Dowager, don't worry, who in the whole palace doesn't know that you like Princess Fushou, and who dares to disrespect the Lord under your nose?" The female official said with a smile, "The slaves must serve the Lord well, and don't let her Feel a little wronged."
"When you do things, Aijia can rest assured." The Queen Mother said, "I'm afraid that some people suddenly have a bad mind and do some stupid things. When the time comes, Liuli is wronged. How can Aijia not feel distressed?"
"It's still the Queen Mother, you think carefully." The female official glanced at the sky outside, "Niangniang, today is the day when the Spring Festival is released. The princess and the third son of Hua have a deep relationship with each other, so maybe they will enter the palace later."
"It's a good thing for a child to be affectionate and righteous. Don't rush the palace attendants who will pick up Liuli later." The Queen Mother thought for a while, "Prepare the etiquette. If he is on the list, there will still be opportunities in the future, just take it as the comfort that Aijia gave him, and no one can make fun of him because of this."
"Why didn't the slaves think of this?" The female official was blessed with the Queen Mother, "The slaves will go and tell them to go."
"Go quickly, don't miss the business." The queen mother smiled and let the female officer go.
Thinking of Hua Liuli being able to enter the palace to accompany her, she was both happy and disappointed, and she was going to leave the palace after staying for a few days. If she could stay in the palace all the time, how great would it be
Before dawn, the bulletin board was already crowded with people. In particular, people with status and status in the capital have dispatched servants who are flexible, strong and literate, and run to the bulletin board to guard.
At this time, the servants between the various houses can't care about who is a family friend with whom, and cling to the golden position they occupy in watching the list without moving their feet.
Just when everyone was pushing me and I was pushing you, suddenly two little servants in gray clothes crowded into the crowd, easily pushing aside the people in front of them and occupying the center.
"Two brothers, may I ask which mansion do you work in?" The Yao mansion's servant, who was so squeezed that he could only stand sideways, was almost out of breath. thought.
If he doesn't get close at this time, he will be squeezed out by others.
The two grey-clothed servants saw that he was squeezed so red that his face was red and his neck was thick.
"I work in Yao Mansion, and my son is the nephew of Yao's concubine."
"Disrespectful, disrespectful." The gray-clothed servant cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Young Master Yao is only eight fights tall, so he will definitely be on the list this time."
"Who are you two?" Hearing the two praised their son, the servant puffed out his chest proudly.
The two grey-clothed servants exchanged glances, and one of them smiled and said, "We are working in Huafu."
Huafu? !
The flower house that beat Jinper to the point of crying
The boy's raised chest shrunk instantly: "It turned out to be the brothers from the General's Mansion. I'm rude, I'm rude."
No wonder it was like pushing cotton when pushing away the others. It turned out to be someone from the General's House
I always feel that as long as it is a person from the Hua family, it is not surprising to do anything.
After all, it is a powerful family of martial arts stars.
There is a teahouse next to the bulletin board. At this time, the teahouse is full of literati students and some family members who are concerned about the test scores.
Yao Wenyin got up early, spent a lot of money to set up a private room with an excellent perspective, and then called the little sisters over to cheer her up.
"Sister Yao, don't be nervous. With your brother's talent, you will definitely pass the exam." Tian Shan poured Yao Wenyin a cup of herbal tea, "Come on, drink a sip of water to calm down."
"I still have this confidence." Yao Wenyin took a sip of the tea, "but that's not what I expected."
"Then what do you want to do?" Jiamin was lying on the table, so sleepy she couldn't keep her eyelids open.
"You know that brother Hua Liuli also participated in this spring festival, right?"
Hearing the three words "Hua Liuli", Jiamin flew away halfway sleepily: "What does this have to do with you?"
"I just want Hua Liuli to understand that my brother's talent is much stronger than her brother's." Yao Wenyin clenched her fists, "I brought you here today because I want you to see the moment of slap in the face."
Tian Shan hesitated for a moment, then said with a face that couldn't bear it: "Sister Yao, follow the script..."
"Don't talk about this law, I don't listen, I don't listen." Yao Wenyin covered her ears and stared at Jiamin, "Jiamin, my brother is your cousin, you think your cousin is powerful, and he is Hua Liuli's brother. sharp?"
Jiamin: "… "
Reason told her that her cousin must be powerful, but her mouth refused to speak.
Life is only once, so precious, she really doesn't want to lose it.
"Posting the list!"
A shout from outside saved Jiamin's helpless struggle.
From time to time, someone downstairs was singing the rankings, and Yao Wenyin was so nervous that she almost cut out the carved wooden tabletop.
"Lin Sen, from Yongzhou, ranked seventh..."
"Yao Songbai, from the capital, ranked fifth!"
"I hit it!"
The three of them jumped up happily: "I will try the fifth place!"
"Sister Yao, Brother Ling is amazing!"
"Yes, let's go, I'll go back with you, congratulations to my uncle, aunt, and cousin!" Jiamin was also overjoyed, got up and prepared to go downstairs.
"Which son is Hua Changkong?! It turned out to be the Hui Yuan of this session!"
The three of them froze for a while, looking at each other, speechless.
Silence and sadness lingered and flowed around them for a long time.
