Chapter 54: I Like the Outside
Xia Yun heard the word "queen mother", her tense face eased, obediently came to the incense case and knelt down, took the sandalwood handed over by Gong Grandma, respectfully bowed three times in front of her mother's portrait, inserted the incense in the Jinfeng incense burner, and then folded her hands, closed her eyes and meditated quietly.
Grandma Gong looked at Xia Yun with a smile on her face, and said with her head in her jaw: "That's right, princess, you are over eighteen years old, and you are a big girl, so you should have the gentle and pure appearance of a big girl, and Empress Wende will be relieved to see it under Jiuquan." ”
The corners of Xia Yun's mouth seemed to loosen, and she stood up later, glanced at Grandma Gong, turned around and walked to the long window, stretched out her hand to push it away, and looked at the high sky outside the hall.
"Grandma Gong, you said that when I grew up, I should have the gentle and pure appearance of a big girl, but don't forget, I am the only princess of the Dahan Kingdom, and I will be the empress of the Dahan Kingdom in the future.
Grandma Gong smiled and said: "You are still young, there are a lot of government affairs that need time to be experienced and familiarized, and the king will naturally arrange it, princess, I think, the king means that he hopes that you will get married first, and then start to slowly learn how to manage government?"
Xia Yun took a sip, and said with disdain on her face: "What a big wedding, those men who can only make promises, I hate it when I see it." ”
Grandma Gong said: "That's not necessarily, I also have a lot of good men in the court, and the princess listens to the old slaves one by one: the two sons of the military department are both brave and warlike young generals, and the sons of the scholars in the Hanlin Academy, I heard that they are also both civil and military, and this year's two new science and military champions, I heard that they have not yet married......"
"Enough is enough, don't say it again, I'm tired of hearing it, can you go and bring me a bowl of bird's nest to moisten my throat?"
"Okay, the old slave is going, princess, you wait!"
Xia Yun watched Grandma Gong walk out of Hanhai Palace in a hurry, exhaled a breath, and continued to look at the clouds floating in the sky with her head propped up.
"Who is that boy? How bold is he to put a sword at my throat and let me out! Is he blind and doesn't see my face?"
"Hmph, I'm ...... The princess of the dignified Han Kingdom and the man actually soaked in a bucket...... This...... This is passed out, where is my face going!"
"That kid...... I must find him and make him kneel at my feet, and see if he dares to be majestic in front of me?"
There was a blush on her face, boy!
I was thinking of that rude, cold, lightning-fast kid...... I jumped into the barrel where he was bathing, and my hands naturally tried to grasp his muscular waist, but before my fingers could touch his skin, I was violently shaken open......
He didn't bother me to touch him...... He avoids me like a snake and scorpion, hmph, I want to go to you, I want to provoke you, I don't believe it, when you know my identity, is it also so arrogant?
"Princess, the bird's nest is here, sit down, the old slave will give you a drink. ”
Xia Yun snorted, listened to the slight clanging sound behind her, and said, "Okay, grandma, when did you say my father would let me out?"
Grandma Gong picked up the silver spoon, stirred the hot bird's nest, and muttered, "You just came in, and you wanted to go out?"
"It's cold here, of course I want to go out, grandma, do you think my father will come to see me today?"
"The old slave doesn't know, the princess came to drink bird's nest, drink and sleep well, you see that you have been wandering outside alone for two months, and your face has turned dark, why do you want to run out?"
"It's fun outside, it's free, there's no boring etiquette in the palace, I like it, grandma, you don't want me to be depressed all day long, right?"
Xia Yun walked to the side of the table and sat down, picked up the silver spoon and stirred it in the bowl, blowing the hot air rising on the bird's nest.
"Good princess, how can you be depressed? When I went to the imperial dining room to serve bird's nest, I heard the chief manager of Fulin say that the prince of the Lengyue Kingdom will visit my Dahan Kingdom next month, and you will be busy with a lot of things at that time, where will you be depressed? Oh, could it be that the princess wants the royal husband in her heart? That is better to do, the king will go down with a decree, and the young talents of the whole country will line up for you to choose!"
Xia Yun glared at Grandma Gong angrily, leaned down and took a sip of bird's nest, grinning unconsciously.
"Beware, it's hot. ”
Xia Yun stuck out her tongue and gasped: "Okay, okay, you go down, don't buzz in my ears like a fly." ”
