Chapter 304: Flattered
It was almost noon when Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng returned to the capital, and according to the usual practice, Pan Jiaming must have stayed in Kunhe Palace to dine with the queen after entering the palace, and then returned to the British Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiao Feng jumped off the horse and said to Pan Jiaming: "You are probably very busy today, and the house should be very lively, so I won't go over to ask for it, and I will go to visit the old lady and Xiao Ling'er tomorrow." So saying, he walked over to the carriage that had come with him, and prepared to go up. In the capital, he is also very showy, so it's better to be low-key!
Pan Jiaming waved his hand indifferently, and was about to ride his horse forward, when he suddenly remembered something: "You can live directly in the new house, Sijo has already let people rest and take care of it, and the next person has also bought some, isn't it cheap for you to live? ”
Xiao Feng nodded, it was all a good thing, there was no difference between staying early and staying late. He had a lot of things to do, and it was really not convenient to live in the small courtyard that used to be. As for what sour things some people will say, he has heard it since he was a child, and he really doesn't care.
Pan Jiaming went to the direction of the palace without looking back, and there are many things that will be very different when he comes back this time. He has been a waste and a fool for almost ten years, and it is time for him to change his ways and take on the responsibilities that the heir to the British government should bear. Fortunately, with Xiao Feng, a staff member given by the emperor as a cover, his upward change is a matter of course, isn't it?
Another important point is that he must let the queen aunt see his "growth" little by little, and see that he has his own opinions and ideas, and is not as unreliable as he has shown in the past. In that case, the queen might be able to trust his vision and accept his choice. Because he knows that the queen really loves him and Ling'er, and this love is no less than half a point of a biological mother's love for her children.
As Pan Jiaming was worried about, when he saw the emperor and went to Kunhe Palace, Princess Chunxi was also there.
The queen was in a good mood, and pulled up her baby nephew who was making a big salute with one hand: "Hurry up and stand up and let my aunt take a good look, I have lost some weight, but my complexion is okay, well, Dafuzi didn't lie to me, you are busy, and your spirit is better." "The only cousin and nephew are beginning to be sensible, and they are doing errands seriously, and the emperor seems to be quite satisfied with his errands, can she not be happy as an aunt?
Thinking of the family matter, the queen suddenly came back to her senses, pulled Princess Chunxi and said with a smile: "Chun'er happened to be here to talk to me today, I heard you coming, I wanted to say hello to you, you haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Chunxi's face was full of joy: "Cousin Ming." Since Pan Jiaming went to Los Angeles on an errand, she felt that every time she met again, Pan Jiaming had obvious changes, becoming more calm and handsome, and the original appearance of being a little hangy was gradually fading. No wonder the queen mother often said that with such an excellent pair of fathers and mothers, Cousin Ming would not be too bad, but he was young and ignorant and was indulged in by others to be domineering and playful.
Pan Jiaming took a step back and saluted in a proper manner: "The minister has seen Princess Chunxi," in fact, he has always kept a distance from Princess Chunxi and has been courteous and thorough. Before, I was worried that my reputation was too bad, and although I couldn't judge the two of them in the palace, I could at least restrain a little, so as not to drag down the queen's aunt and the three princesses who were raised in the Kunhe Palace. Now it is to prevent the queen from misunderstanding that they are really two little guesses, and then mess up the mandarin duck spectrum.
The queen was shocked, as if something had happened to her unexpectedly. Although there is nothing wrong with Pan Jiaming's words and deeds, she still feels very wrong, is Ming'er alienated from Chunxi? Or is it because Chunxi's status has been improved, so she has to put on a posture to avoid being criticized?
The smile on Chunxi's face was also stiff, and he said: "Cousin Ming, hurry up, you just came back, the queen mother must have a lot to ask you, I'll go back to Yanxi Palace first." Although Pan Jiaming didn't treat her so estranged before, he didn't get close to her. Since she was seven or eight years old, Pan Jiaming refused to eat at the same table with her every time she came to the palace, saying that men and women were seven years old and had different tables.
I don't know why those people outside always say that Cousin Ming is a gentleman, she thinks that the so-called cousins of the Xie family are gentlemen, okay? Relying on the Empress Dowager being their aunt, every time she sees her, she has a disgusting look with green eyes, so that as soon as she hears that the Xie family has entered the palace, she hides in Yanxi Palace and does not go out, so as not to meet anyone again.
After Chunxi left, the queen asked in wonder, "Ming'er, did you have any misunderstanding about Chun'er?" Or, what did Chun'er do that made you unhappy when you went to Los Angeles last time?"
Pan Jiaming looked puzzled: "No, why does my aunt ask me like that? I have always regarded Princess Chunxi as my sister, just like Ling'er, how can I misunderstand anything?"
Like Ling'er? The queen wondered even more, was there something in the words? However, she hadn't mentioned anything yet, and her nephew was going to stop her with words? Could it be that who said anything in front of this kid?
If that's the case, should she just talk about it now and ask clearly? After all, it's a big deal in her nephew's life, and if he really doesn't like Chunxi, she doesn't want to force him.
In the eyes of the queen, Pan Jiaming has not had the pain of his father and mother since he was a child, and she still hopes that this nephew will be able to reconcile with each other and make up for the unhappy days before. She herself and the emperor are two little guesses, her brother and sister-in-law were also happy with each other back then, the younger brother even only had a wife for his brother-in-law, and he never thought of taking a concubine, and now she naturally does not want to force her nephew to marry a girl he doesn't like. Moreover, Chunxi is the daughter who has been raised by her since she was a child, and she is almost inseparable from her own life, and she also hopes that Chunxi can marry her husband who really likes her and treats her sincerely.
It is said that his father, the British father, was forced to marry his mother by his elders, and his father liked tender women, and disliked his mother's stubbornness and being too strong.
As a result, my mother has been unhappy for most of her life, and some of them are only decent on the surface, no, even this dignity is missing a lot because of Pan Ruye's eldest son, which is the eldest son born and raised in the outer room, which wife can treat him calmly?
It is precisely because of her own unhappiness that her mother asked her and her younger brother about their intentions under the pressure of the elders before they set up a relationship, otherwise she would have married another prince who was most favored by everyone at that time, she didn't like not to say it, and now she is no longer alive.
"Ah, auntie, I'm really hungry," Pan Jiaming saw that the queen looked hesitant to speak, and hurriedly pretended to be a scoundrel, "The emperor is going to be busy entertaining the envoy of the king of Yunnan today, and let my nephew and I accompany you to dine alone." ”
The queen suddenly came back to her senses, and her face was distressed: "Isn't it? You have been on the road for two days, and you can't eat or sleep well, but don't be hungry? "Let's talk about everything else slowly, and she will think about it again, if ...... , she has to prepare a good choice as soon as possible, lest the good girls be condemned away, right?
Pan Jiaming looked at the queen who was busy with meals and snacks, and a warm flow flowed in his heart, his aunt was the queen of Daying, but he and Ling'er were like the most ordinary mothers. It's just that in marriage, he is afraid that he will not be able to fulfill his aunt's wishes.
Because she knew that the old lady was thinking about Pan Jiaming, the queen didn't stay with him for too long, and rushed Pan Jiaming back after lunch.
It was exactly as Pan Jiaming expected, all the masters of the Guogong Mansion were waiting for him in the meeting hall, but there was a slight difference, that is, the demeanor of everyone. Grandmother and little Ling'er are full of joy and pride, this is relatively normal, he will always be the best grandson and brother in their hearts, no matter what outsiders think of him and evaluate him, they can't change grandmother and Ling'er's feelings for him;
Grandfather was a little strange, it was rare that he didn't greet him with a black face, although it was not as obvious as it was, but the seriousness of being a family member still did not completely hide his excitement. That's it, it's just that Pan Jiaming felt that he was dazzled, he actually felt a hint of flattery in his grandfather's eyes, uh, and guilt. What is this singing? What is my grandfather excited about? What is he guilty about? The wine in the middle of the mountain is so delicious, so I am grateful for his filial piety, I feel guilty for the slow treatment of him before, and then please him? That is really hell!
There is also a second family, uh, did Pan Shuying, the bride of the Li family, come back to welcome him? Why did they laugh so ugly, as if someone was forcing them to laugh with a dagger on their waists. In the past, when they were like this, they usually prepared a lot of reasons to pick on his thorns, and they were still very skillful, clearly praising him, congratulating him, worrying about him, and planning for him, but the connotation of the words could just right to arouse his grandfather's anger and annoyance with him......
Okay, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, who is afraid of whom?
After not being home for such a long time, the first thing is naturally to greet my grandfather and grandmother: "Grandfather and grandmother, my grandson is fortunate to live up to the emperor's order and finish his errand, and the emperor allows my grandson to return to Beijing for the New Year." "It's rare that my grandfather and his old man gave him a good face, and he also obeyed the old man's heart, isn't it?
"Get up, have you had lunch at the queen's mother?" Grandpa Guo's tone today is really as kind and kind as his complexion, although his voice is a little stiff, it is estimated that he is not used to being kind to his stubborn second grandson, right?
However, this was enough to flatter Pan Jiaming, and all kinds of speculations were quickly turning in his head, and he naturally had to reply in a proper manner: "Yes, my grandson had lunch with my mother in Kunhe Palace, and my mother was worried that my grandfather and grandmother would miss her, so I hurriedly urged my grandson to come back." ”
Grandpa Guo is more and more satisfied, this grandson has indeed grown up, look, when did he behave like this before? Well, it was also that he was too anxious and had a worse attitude before, but today his tone is better, and this child is immediately well-behaved. (To be continued.) )
