Chapter 129: Marriage Proposal

In the blink of an eye, the last time of this late autumn has passed, and the cold of early winter has gradually come, and the cold air is still condensed under the corridor in the early morning, and the water dripping on the platform under the corridor is actually a thin layer of ice, and the branches and leaves in front of the court have fallen a layer of frost. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The palace people outside the Qianqing Palace were carefully pouring hot water on the ground, melting the thin ice in the corners, obviously sweating on their foreheads, and a gust of cold wind blew, but they felt that their faces were dry and tight, and they were almost about to crack as soon as they blew.

The emperor was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion at the moment, Wei An walked through the layers of solemn and solemn bright yellow curtains, his hands were folded in front of him, his expression was extremely humble and cautious, and he took extremely light steps towards the study where Emperor Jianheng was.

Ambergris incense was lit in the study, and Emperor Jianheng was wearing a bright yellow shirt embroidered with a golden coiled dragon with a narrow sleeve, with a jade belt embedded in his waist, and was sitting behind the bookcase, correcting the notes on the case.

"Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Jianheng only raised his eyelids when he heard the voice, although he did not speak, the momentum around his body was extremely strong, which made people feel not angry and arrogant.

"The eldest princess is here. ”

Emperor Jianheng paused slightly, then buried his head, and said flatly: "Come in." ”

When Wei An heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said extremely humbly: "Yes, the old slave knows." ”

Wei An lowered his head and retreated, and Emperor Jianheng had already lowered his head and continued to look at the recital.

When Wei An came to the outer hall and saw the noble lady sitting in front of the outer hall, he immediately grinned humbly, stepped forward a few steps and said, "The old minister has seen the eldest princess. (Note: The senior internal supervisors of the Ming Dynasty all had political positions, so they called themselves ministers, but in front of the emperor, they also expressed their closeness, and they could be called old slaves.) )

The eldest princess of Zhaomao glanced at her lightly when she heard this, and then smiled and said: "Wei Changgong is now more and more valued by the emperor, and he is always on the side of the king. ”

Wei An still lowered his head, and when he heard this, a trace of deep meaning crossed his eyes slightly, and then he raised his head, and his smile was more respectful and obvious: "Her Royal Highness the princess has tormented the old minister, how dare the old minister, if you want to say that the closest to the saint is still Her Royal Highness the princess, the saint also told the old minister a few days ago, when are you going to visit you in the princess's mansion." ”

When the eldest princess Zhaomao heard this, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, Wei An immediately bent down, and said with a very humble smile: "Holy Lord, please eldest princess, you go in." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess Zhaomao stood up, dusted off her skirt with a pair of delicate hands, then straightened her back slightly, and walked in, Wei An carefully stepped aside, until the eldest princess Zhaomao passed by, then slowly straightened her waist, and a chill floated in her eyes.

Hearing the sound of Huanpei, Emperor Jianheng raised his head, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, and before the smiling eldest princess Zhaomao saluted, he had already said: "Sister Huang, get up." ”

The eldest princess Zhaomao was accustomed to this, so she didn't bend her waist, so she smiled and picked a seat and sat down.

"Sister Huang came so early today, is there something wrong?"

Wei An saw that Emperor Jianheng had accepted the pen, and hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the hot towel, Emperor Jianheng raised his eyes and looked at the considerate Wei An in front of him, then took it and wiped it, and handed it back.

"It's something. ”

The eldest princess Zhaomao smiled and glanced sideways at Huilan beside her, Huilan immediately stepped forward with the food box, and the eldest princess Zhaomao smiled and said: "When I had breakfast today, I happened to make a small steamed bun with a bamboo slub roll, I thought that the emperor loved this the most, so I brought it specially." ”

Emperor Jianheng's eyes warmed when he heard this, and he gradually smiled, Wei An immediately ordered someone to clean up the bookcase, and personally tasted the small steamed bun, and then personally took a silver chopstick for Emperor Jianheng and put it on the plate and handed it over.

Emperor Jianheng tasted it, the corners of his lips hooked up with satisfaction, and then he ate it whole, turned to look at the eldest princess Zhaomao and said, "Sister Huang's little steamed bun is the same as the taste made in the palace of the concubine in the past." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess Zhaomao smiled and said: "The first time I tasted it, I knew that the emperor would like it, thinking that I used to eat in the palace of the concubine, you and I always love to stare at this dish." ”

Emperor Jianheng gradually recalled something when he heard this, put down the silver chopstick, and said with some emotion: "At that time, the imperial sister was always left to me, but I didn't use it much. ”

The eldest princess did not speak, but she smiled, and suddenly felt a thousand emotions.

"Yes, think about how fast these days have passed, in the blink of an eye, the mother concubine has been gone for so many years. ”

The smile in Emperor Jianheng's eyes gradually erased when he heard this, and the eldest princess Zhaomao couldn't hide her sorrow when she saw this: "And I, unconsciously, am also old." ”

Emperor Jianheng saw that the eldest sister in front of him stroked the corners of his eyes, and the words he said were a little more sad, and he couldn't help but comfort: "The imperial sister looks much younger than me, if you are old, what should I do?"

The corner of the eldest princess Zhaomao's eyes faintly changed into a smile when she heard this, but she couldn't dissolve that bit of sorrow.

Emperor Jianheng saw that something was wrong, so he asked, "Sister Huang, what's the matter?" ”

The eldest princess Zhaomao suddenly gloomy in her eyes when she heard this, and she muttered for a long time, after all, she was a little sad, raised her head, the corners of her lips were bitter, and the words she said were quite helpless: "It's just Pingyi." ”

"What's wrong with Pingyi?"

The eldest princess of Zhaomao sighed almost inaudibly, and then said: "The Holy Lord also knows that when Pingyi was born, I was over thirty years old, and it didn't take long for her father-"

Emperor Jianheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, but the eldest princess Zhaomao had already said slowly: "That child is pitiful, fortunately my father was sympathetic to the emperor back then, and I was afraid that Pingyi, who had no father, would be wronged, so I gave her the imperial surname, so that people don't look down on it." Over the years, I have also tried my best to be good to her, and to make up for what she has lost, so that she can live a safer and more worry-free life, but after all-" (Note: Originally, Xiao Ling, the lord of Pingyi, took his father's surname and was called Han Ling. )

When Emperor Jianheng heard this, he looked at the eldest sister who was quite sad in front of him, and couldn't help but be touched in his heart, after all, Pingyi has not had his father's love and the support of his grandfather's family all these years, and there are some reasons.

No matter how much the woman in front of her is maintained, but the aging face is always unstoppable, Emperor Jianheng looked at such Zhaomao, and felt guilty in his heart.

The eldest princess Zhaomao's eyes gradually turned red, but she finally endured it, and she only choked up a little in her words.

"I'm really scared of what will happen if I leave in the future and leave Pingyi alone. ”

When Emperor Jianheng heard this, he also knew that the eldest princess of Zhaomao was not wrong.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, he also understands it.

"At this point, the imperial sister doesn't need to worry, in the future, I will personally pick a good family for Pingyi. ”

The eldest princess Zhaomao, who originally bowed her head and wiped away her tears, condensed her eyes when she heard this, and immediately raised her head gratefully and said, "Then I will thank the saint for Pingyi." ”

Seeing this, Emperor Jianheng raised his hand and said: "Imperial sister, please get up, family, why bother with these false courtesies." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Jianheng muttered: "The imperial sister doesn't know who she likes, if not, I will ask the queen to personally explain this matter-"

When the eldest princess Zhaomao saw Emperor Jianheng handing over the words to this step, she immediately smiled in her heart, and then said: "I have considered it for Pingyi, thinking about it, I should always find a person who knows the roots and has a good character, so that even if there is only one person in this world in the future, I will always rest assured." ”

Emperor Jianheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "Which family did the imperial sister choose?"

The eldest princess Zhaomao pursed the corners of her lips slightly when she heard this, and then spit out a sentence gently and sincerely: "It's not as good as marrying into our own family, I think Ah Yi is a very good child." ”
