Chapter 343: Zhao Taocheng's "Good Method"
When the three aunts and nephews heard this, they sat up straight at the same time and arranged their skirts and hairpins.
After a while, Rong Sleeping Crane walked in, looked at the three female dependents who were showing off their flowers, but they were indifferent, and after saluting the princess, they nodded to the Zhao family sisters, sat next to them in their robes, and said meaningfully: "The princess looks good today." ”
"It's all my son's work. Princess Gaomi immediately smiled brightly, and said softly, "If it weren't for He'er, you took care of it every day, how could my mother recover so quickly?"
In order to make Rong Qingdrunk and be accepted by the Gaomi Mansion again, Zhao Taoxiang tried to curry favor with the Gaomi Princess in the Zhao Mansion, and when he saw the main person who pleaded for mercy, he naturally became more and more earnest, and said: "The third cousin is really filial!"
It's a pity that Rong Sleeping Crane didn't have much reaction to his aunt and nephew's words, and only said flatly: "This is Imperial Doctor Dong's excellent medical skills, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"The third cousin is so humble. Zhao Taoxiang hurriedly said, "My aunt has been lacking for more than ten years before, and she has always been watched by Imperial Doctor Dong, but she hasn't seen much improvement! It's only been a few days since the third cousin came back, and my aunt has seen her get better, how can you say that it's not your credit?"
Rong Sleeping Crane was not very reluctant to accompany Princess Gaomi, but now he saw Zhao Tao's makeup praising himself vigorously, although he didn't know that Princess Gaomi planned to find a wife for him...... Originally, after Princess Gaomi came back from Zhao's Mansion, she wanted to explain to Rong Mianhe and recommend her niece Zhao Taocheng to him.
But just as she was about to do this, Aunt Zhao reminded: "Not long after the king of the county came back, he has not changed his words until now, obviously there is still a gap between the palace and the palace. If he told the king of the county at this time that he invited Miss Biao to come to live in the mansion in order to match him, what if he felt that he was pointing fingers at him and was unhappy? After all, it was the parents who decided this major marriage matter. ”
Princess Gaomi understood what she meant, and Rong Mianhe didn't change her words until today, obviously because she hadn't regarded herself and King Gaomi's biological parents as parents, so she might be disgusted that she was leading his marriage.
At this point, the princess is still just wandering, the key is that Aunt Zhao said meaningfully: "If we don't tell the county king, the reason why we invite Miss Biao to live in the mansion is for his marriage." The king of Huitou County has taken a fancy to Miss Biao, what do you think he will do?"
Of course, he came to himself and begged for help to tell him Zhao Taocheng!
For Princess Gaomi, who is eager to gain Rong Sleeping Crane's trust and attachment, she is not afraid that this son will make demands on her, and she is most afraid that this son will always resist herself so coldly.
It can even be said that the more Rong Sleeping Crane asks her, the happier she is!
So Princess Gaomi made a decision on the spot, and she didn't tell Rong Sleeping Crane about this!
This is also the reason why she and Aunt Zhao are very confident in Zhao Taocheng's talent and appearance, after all, Rong Sleeping Crane is strong-blooded, and there is not even a maid by his side, such a beautiful cousin dangles in front of him all day long, are you afraid that he will not be tempted?
Therefore, Rong Mianhe didn't know why the Zhao family sisters came to the palace at all, and thought that it was really to accompany the county lord Huihe, so he was more and more lazy to be perfunctory, and after a few words, he got up and said: "Since the princess is accompanied by her niece and nephew here, then I am relieved." I still have some things, so let's do it first, and I ask the princess for forgiveness!"
Princess Gaomi's smile stiffened when she heard this, and she immediately regretted taking her niece over, and the Zhao sisters' faces were also very unsightly, although Zhao Taoxiang intended to please Rong Sleeping Crane, she already had a Rong Qing drunk in her heart, and it was not the most embarrassing at this time, she subconsciously glanced at her cousin, and saw that Zhao Taocheng's face was slightly blue, and her hands were subconsciously clenched, obviously not lightly!
It's no wonder that the Zhao family has always had a tradition of attaching importance to and cultivating girls as boys, and after a Gaomi princess, the three girls of the "peach" generation have been taught and pampered since they were young.
The eldest sister Zhao Taojiao married into the royal family with her aunt, and now she is the wife of the king of Guangling, and she is also the head of the Guangling Palace.
There are examples of aunts and eldest sisters in the past, Zhao Taocheng is not like Zhao Taoxiang, who has been repeatedly used by her second cousin Rong Qingdrunk and has no regrets, so she naturally thinks highly of herself, even in the face of Rong Sleeping Crane, the third cousin who was born as the champion and was named the king of the county, she has no idea of being humble and forbearing.
She didn't know that Rong Sleeping Crane didn't know the meaning of kissing and kissing at all, and thought that before she came to the palace, Old Lady Qin had told her about this matter in private, and she also taught a few tricks of coquettishness, so Princess Gaomi, who came back from the Zhao Mansion two days earlier, would not reveal her tone to Rong Sleeping Crane?
In this way, this cousin knew the purpose of his coming to the palace, but he still had a cold attitude towards himself, and even thought that he was here to accompany Princess Gaomi, which clearly showed that he was deliberately sweeping his face and embarrassing himself!
Zhao Taocheng was annoyed in her heart, and after watching him leave with a calm face, she turned her head and said to Princess Gaomi: "Auntie, it seems that we came unfortunately, disturbing your reunion with your cousin's mother and son." That's not good, why don't we go home?"
In fact, Princess Gaomi also felt that if her son really felt that he didn't need him to be present if he was accompanied by his niece, then it would be better for the two nieces to send him away as soon as possible.
But Zhao Taocheng said this, she couldn't help but be comforted, after all, this niece was taken over by the princess, and she let people go like this now, even if the princess was not afraid of offending her mother's family, she was embarrassed to bully her niece like this.
So he hurriedly signaled the idlers to avoid, and then explained to his nieces: "I haven't had time to explain to him the reason why you came here in the past two days, I guess he really thought that you were here to accompany me and Huihe, so I considered that men and women were taboo and refused to stay for a long time." ”
Remembering that two days ago, the family went to Shengfu to thank him, and the people below told him about Rong Sleeping Crane's expulsion of the county lord of Huihe, although after coming back, the princess specially ordered Aunt Zhao to go to the courtyard of the county lord of Huihe, reprimanded the little daughter fiercely, and ordered her not to disturb Rong Sleeping Crane without permission in the future.
But at this moment, in order to calm the shame of the two nieces, he pulled the daughter out of the top tank again, "It's all Huihe's fault, she has been annoying He'er a lot these days, so that He'er really doesn't like her! Although I have forbidden Huihe to pester He'er two days ago, He'er is only a little angry with her in my heart." Now that I heard that you are here to accompany Huihe, I guess I misunderstood, thinking that you are similar to Huihe, and I am worried that I will be kind to you, and I will make you unreasonable with him like Huihe!"
"This is also because the crane has been away for a long time, and he has only come back, and he is not familiar with his family. ”
"If he had known your nature, he wouldn't have misunderstood it so much!"
Zhao Taoxiang intended to curry favor, but Zhao Taocheng was not an unreasonable person, and when she heard the words, she dissipated her anger and expressed her understanding: "I see! We thought that the third cousin didn't like to see us!"
Zhao Taocheng actually had some doubts in her heart, that is, why didn't Princess Gaomi explain to Rong Mianhe why she came to live in the palace?
She thought to herself: "Doesn't the third cousin want to talk about marriage at this time? It's just that he is also twenty years old, and he has passed the top exam and has been crowned the king of the county.
However, the unmarried girl's family, even if it is a sister-in-law aunt, she is embarrassed to ask, she thought about it for a while, and she didn't find a clue, so she settled down and laughed with Princess Gaomi.
In this way, in the afternoon, Princess Gaomi was about to take a rest, and the sisters returned to the Linghua Pavilion.
On the way back, Zhao Taoxiang reminded her sister: "Although the third cousin will retire in advance in front of my aunt because he doesn't know what's going on, I see that he has a bit of a sense of abiding by etiquette." This kind of temperament is good and bad for you, and the good thing is that the third cousin is obviously a decent gentleman, not the kind of womanizer who looks good and doesn't even know his surname!"
"The disadvantage is that he is such a square person, I am afraid that even if he has a good impression of you in his heart, he will not show it. If you want to achieve good things between you, I'm afraid you have to let go of your reserve and take the initiative!"
Zhao Taocheng didn't stop her cousin this time, because she thought so herself.
Zhao Taocheng is not disgusted by letting go of her reserve and taking the initiative to show favor to Rong Sleeping Crane, after all, Rong Sleeping Crane is beautiful, both civil and military, and has the title of the prince of the county, which is not only her cousin, but also the praise of her elders...... Such a good husband candidate, but he looks a little old-fashioned, not the kind of person who will take the initiative to please girls, Zhao Taocheng feels that he is still flawed.
No, it's not that the flaws are not hidden, it should be said that it is in Zhao Taoming's preferences.
Because Zhao Taocheng is very disgusted with Rong Qingdrunk, he is the kind of person who is very good at speaking softly and coaxing people, otherwise Zhao Taoxiang is also the elder of Mrs. Qin, and his father and mother are in the hall, so many elders are watching, how can he be dead set on his cousin who can't even go back to his own home and can only send people under the fence of Zhao Mansion?
Therefore, this kind of man who smears too much honey on his mouth, even if he is handsome, noble, and talented, is unreliable in Zhao Taocheng's opinion.
And Rong Sleeping Crane's previous perfunctory behavior of throwing his hands away, after Princess Gaomi's explanation, now that he thinks about it, it is a decent performance, clean and self-conscious, and restless.
After getting married like this, life will be more ordinary, but it is more secure, and it will not be disturbed by the fox spirit that suddenly appeared.
It was because Zhao Taocheng didn't show it on her face at this time, and she was looking forward to marrying this cousin a little bit in her heart, so she secretly thought to herself at the moment: "I am not familiar with this cousin, I used to be in the Sleepless Pavilion, and at that time, I mainly greeted the county lord of Kangzhao, and I didn't talk to my cousin." What if you want to take the initiative to show favor to him at this time, but you don't know what to do?"
She thought that since Rong Sleeping Crane had such a dignified character, even if she wanted to let go of her reserve and take the initiative to show her goodwill, she had to hold on to her every inch!
Otherwise, it will be frivolous, and it will be self-defeating if he is to be underestimated by this cousin, or even arouse his disgust.
So after thinking about it, Zhao Taocheng thinks that she can start with the hobby of sleeping cranes calmly, and after doing what she likes, everyone has a common language, and there is a reason to meet and talk or learn from time to time...... Is this cousin still able to run?
But there is a problem with this method, that is, due to Rong Sleeping Crane's cold attitude, Princess Gaomi is still trying her best to find out her son's preferences, not to mention Zhao Taocheng's understanding of this cousin's hobbies.
Fortunately, after Zhao Taocheng wandered around the house of the Linghua Pavilion for a few times, she quickly thought of a good method: "I can ask the county lord of Kangzhao!" Although I am not very familiar with the county lord of Kangzhao, but everyone is a girl, and when I was in the night pavilion before, we could be regarded as having a good conversation, I asked this not to harm the third cousin, presumably the county lord is always willing to give me this face?"
