Chapter 543: Tolerance
On that day, he learned from the secret guard that the old prince wanted to choose a princess for him, and the daughter of the Zhao family was chosen.
The princess is the one who has accompanied him for a lifetime, how can he let the old prince be the master, of course, he has to come and take a look, in case he doesn't like him, he must refuse in time, otherwise the family will be decided and then retreat, not to mention the trouble, and the two families will have a feud.
He is not a troublesome and troublesome person.
When he entered Zhao's house, he was attracted by a burst of beautiful music, and he went away, and saw the princess sitting on the swing, blowing music with leaves, and the acacia flowers fell to the ground, as beautiful as a fairy falling into the mortal dust.
Before a song was finished, a maid came over and said that Mrs. Zhao had invited her to meet guests in the front flower hall.
She asked first, "Are you here from the prince?"
The maid nodded happily, "Yes, it's from the king." ”
She went back to the house and changed into a bright dress, but her makeup was a little uglier than before.
At that time, the prince was very unhappy.
The old prince came to the Zhao family to pick a princess for him, even if he didn't say it, but at least he showed a few signs, she deliberately pretended to be ugly, saying that she didn't know who believed it?
The old prince and Mrs. Zhao were drinking tea in the garden, and Queen Zhao was stroking the qin, and when she saw her coming, she stopped and asked her to play the piano too.
She didn't refuse, and happily agreed, but the song was played in the wrong tone several times, which was really not good.
A single leaf can blow the sound of heaven, but Fuqin is so ugly, who would believe it?
She just clearly doesn't want to be favored by the old prince and has opinions about him!
The old prince sat for a while, chatted with Mrs. Zhao for a while, and then took his leave.
Old Madam Zhao asked her, why did she play the piano wrongly, the old prince's piano skills were very high, Fang Cai frowned, she trembled and said, "My piano skills have not been as good as my cousin, and Fang Cai is too nervous......." ”
Mrs. Zhao said, "Okay, don't be too strict with Chan'er, just practice diligently in the future." ”
Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, Queen Zhao held her arm and walked away, talking and laughing, and the princess took the maid back to the courtyard.
Halfway through, I met Master Zhao, who held a brocade box in his hand, which was a gift for the princess.
The princess first refused, and if she couldn't refuse, she accepted it, and the maid happily praised the young master Zhao for his outstanding literary talent, and he was the favorite husband of everyone in Kyoto.
He followed the way, she went back to the study, sat down to paint, a wonderful pen Danqing, only half of the painting, she stared at the painting for a long time, delayed the pen, he was in a hurry, but she put the ink on the painting, threw the pen, impatiently said, "burned!"
After that, I went to swing again.
It was the first time he had seen the princess, and it left a bad impression on him.
Scheming is deep.
Before I set out on the expedition, I saw him a few times, but I didn't have a good impression.
Later, when he recovered from blindness, he opened his eyes and saw a nervous, faintly expectant face, and those eyes were beautiful, like a bright moon on a hazy moonlit night.
But he wasn't happy, this wasn't the person he wanted to marry.
Moreover, when he was blind, she kept talking to him about the Zhao family, he always regarded her as Queen Zhao, and she never denied it, but later his eye disease gradually improved, but she kept talking to her about herself, and he was not happy to hear about her, so he asked her, "In your heart, how is Miss Chu?"
She paused and said, "Cousin, she...... Very good. ”
He laughed at the time, "Where's she?"
She said firmly, "Anywhere is fine." ”
"For example?" he asked.
She was silent for a moment and said, "She has no father or mother since she was a child, she lives in my Zhao family, we are like brothers, I treat her as my own sister, even if she has any shortcomings, I will tolerate her." ”
He laughed, "If she lied to you, she learned above you, but pretended to be inferior to you in everything, and you would tolerate her?"
“…… No. ”
Those two words, she said it was difficult.
After that day, she said very little, not mentioning the Zhao family, nor mentioning herself, and his eyes were recovering, and he didn't notice anything wrong with her until ...... See her.
In front of her, he said that she was not good, and he was scheming, how embarrassed he was at that time.
That embarrassment directly turned into quarrels and dissatisfaction.
If he had known that it was not Empress Zhao who was married, but her, he would never have said those words, although he was blind, his heart was not blind.
As soon as he quarreled and she made a fuss, she broke away.
For so many years, he repeatedly pressed the princess, just wanting an answer.
She obviously didn't want to marry him, why was she the last to get on the sedan chair, even if the Zhao family wanted to marry and recognize a maid as a goddaughter to get on the sedan chair for her, the old prince wouldn't say anything, after all, he was blind at that time, if he couldn't see the light of day again, he might not have the confidence to live.
It is reasonable for the Zhao family to be reluctant to keep their daughter widowed for the rest of their lives, and all the palace needs is Chongxi.
The Zhao family didn't dare to offend the palace, but they pushed their granddaughter into the fire pit, he couldn't figure it out.
The princess didn't give this reply, but Minglan gave it for her.
The Zhao family forced her to swear a poisonous oath, keeping the secret that she was happy for Queen Zhao at the beginning, and if she could force her to get on the sedan chair and force her to swear a poisonous oath, the Zhao family would never be sincere to her.
When the old prince came to Zhao's house to choose a daughter-in-law, she played the wrong piano, not necessarily because she was dissatisfied with him, she was just hiding her habits, because she was afraid of overshadowing Queen Zhao's demeanor and making Mrs. Zhao unhappy.
There is also a wonderful pen Danqing, why don't she want to paint a complete masterpiece, she is afraid that if she paints it, she will make Mrs. Zhao and Queen Zhao unhappy.
Under the fence, there must be the consciousness of the fence, overshadowing the limelight of the master's house, and it may not be liked.
can pass on the stepchildren for her father, and she is as smart as her, how can she not know what is at stake.
After he and the princess reconciled, the old prince was furious, and he knew that he was in love with the princess at the beginning, and the old prince and the old general Chu were colleagues, and they could hand over their backs to each other's brothers.
He asked a little more, and Mrs. Zhao said that the princess and Mr. Zhao had made a marriage, she was a lonely woman, her father and mother were gone, and no one would come to the door to ask for a kiss.
What the old lady Zhao said is reasonable, the old prince is not easy to be strong, after all, he has already made a marriage, and the two are happy, he can't beat the mandarin duck because he likes the princess's eyebrows, and this is the queen Zhao.
Otherwise, with the temper of the old prince, Queen Zhao is sick and can't get on the sedan chair, you can talk to the palace first, he is not an unreasonable person, the Zhao family doesn't say anything, just stuff people over silently, let things be settled, is he so difficult to speak?
The Zhao family is sure that the old prince will definitely look at the face of the deceased old general Chu and will not send the princess back to the Zhao family.
And the princess is the granddaughter of the Zhao family, and she is her only support, in case his eyes can be restored, he will be a powerful king in the future, and he can become the backer of the Zhao family.
These are all things that the maid can't give.
