41 The king is sorrowful
Fortunately, Ling Makeup had a big heart, and he also felt that several Wang Ji were quite kind, so he smiled at Cai Zhi and joked Cai Ling: "My little Wang Ji, you have already promised others, and you don't want to learn housekeeping from the princess? ”
Cai Ling was the youngest, and she was most afraid that people would laugh at her, so she suddenly pouted: "My little cousin-in-law is the worst, and I have to say your good in front of my father every day!"
Ji Cailan, the fifth king of Tongling, smiled and played a round field: "When I came, I always heard the concubine mention the matter of seeking shade for her cousin, I think I must have some eyebrows, you always go to the eighth uncle's study, tell us quickly." ”
Ling Xiang personally added tea for them.
The little chubby girl Lao Qicai poured a big pot, raised her head and sighed: "I have never drunk such a delicious tea, I used to drink too much trouble at night, and I couldn't sleep all night, but I don't know what kind of fairy dew my sister-in-law used to make it, so I was very sleepy!"
"I see that you are sleeping well on weekdays, but Sister Cailan, she seems to have thoughts, my tea can replenish qi and calm the nerves, and it was specially brewed for her to drink. Ling Xiangyu's hand flew over, and those celadon tea sets were like artifacts under her play, making several Wang Ji's eyes straighten.
Cai Zhi had been "tsk" admiring, but when she heard this, she hurriedly put down the teacup: "Little sister-in-law is really a god! The day before yesterday, I heard that I sent lady tea to Sister Ling, and I can clear people after drinking it, but I came to fight the autumn breeze today." How can you tell that my sister has a heart? She is gentle and gentle all day long, and she laughs at everyone! ”
After some contact, Ling Xiang has already figured out the temperament of these people, Cai Zhi has no heart and no lungs, thick branches and leaves, although Cai Ling is not lacking in innocence and romance, she has been quite a mother in dealing with people, and she will be the material of the head of the family in the future, and Cai Lan, who seems to have no temper, but her mind is heavy, and she has become a habit since she was a child, and she is introverted. She poured a bowl of tea and brought it to Cai Lan, and said: "Worrying into the heart can hurt people the most, my sister is only in a trance now, and her sleep is unstable. ”
Cai Ling Gu rolled her eyes, very curious: "Sister Lan, what can you worry about?"
Wang Ji's days are always the same in her mind, she was born rich and noble, the clan has a fortune, and she has no worries about food and clothing. Because of the same clan as the royal family, it is impossible to participate in the draft, even if Cai Lan is not born to the princess, for the sake of the face of the Tongling Palace, he will not marry too much, and there is a strict grandmother in the courtyard, what else is there to worry about?
Cai Lan pursed her lips and smiled slightly, without squeaking.
Cai Zhi couldn't help but say: "Sister Ling is the heart of the eighth uncle and eight aunts, how do you know our suffering!"
Rong Cailing was unconvinced: "Come and listen, let me see if it's unfounded." ”
Cai Zhi said: "You promised the son of your uncle's family, and you will be the Duchess of Dingguo in the future, and the Duchess of Dingguo will be an upstart, and the title of the fourth, do you know what will happen to us?"
Rong Cailing stood up suddenly: "It's not uncommon for me to do anything like the Duchess of Dingguo, it's not, what's there to be sad about! ”
Cai Zhi snorted from his nose: "It's okay to marry a petty official and a little eunuch, do you know that the emperor's grandson fought in the south and the north, how many lords of wild lands have descended to me? Who are the people among them who are seeking marriage?"
The family of the foreign lord asks for marriage, naturally the women of the clan are married, they are vassals, it is impossible for the princess to marry, the direct granddaughter of Emperor Shunzuo has her own pain, and the only remaining descendants of King Lu and King Yan have become their range of choice.
Rong Cailing came back to her senses and asked, "Is there any way to make my sisters feel uneasy?"
Cai Lan Fang said: "The eighth uncle is favored by the old emperor's grandfather, walking left and right, and you only have a concubine, when you are raised like a princess, you naturally don't know." The lord of Batu Kakachi begged for his two sons, and His Majesty had promised to give the prince and daughter of the county in order to show preferential treatment, and the lord of Wuhe followed suit and actually asked for his own family, he was more than forty years old......"
Ling Xiang is not very clear about the situation of the clan, but he also knows that the Yan King is a single lineage, because of the big case of seizing the heir decades ago, Emperor Shunzuo washed the clan in blood, in addition to the descendants of the emperor's grandson, there are only four brothers left in the county of this dynasty, the brother of the king of Yan, King Shaokang and the grandson of the lineage, but at present, the daughters of the emperor's grandson are too young or not in the emperor's consideration at all, Rong Cailing is not worried, naturally in the Shaokang King, Lujiang King and Tongling Wangfu. The daughters of the Lujiang Wang family are long, and the young are young, and they have not entered Beijing this time, and the only marriageable ones are the five Wang Ji to the seven Wang Ji of Tongling Wangfu.
"The sixth elder of our family is sick and crooked, and he was raised by the princess, whether to marry a Tartar or not, is it not just me and the fifth sister who are left? I am a heartless person, I am the son of the lord of Badu, I will marry, I will live in the capital, better than those princesses in front of me, what is there to worry about? What I am afraid of is falling into the hands of that king of Wuhe...... No matter what, it is obedient to the heavens, I often persuade the fifth sister to think of this layer. ”
Rong Cailing was silent when she heard this, although Caizhi said it easily, it was quite different.
In just a few years, there are not a few people who secretly plotted to be killed by the whole clan, and the prince of the county and the royal family said that they were close relatives, but in fact, who loved the person in power? People of different races are able to keep their own peace, and the court is also a false title, one has no fiefdom, and the other has no real power. Thinking about it this way, it is better to marry to the Mongolian ministries and be a Mongolian princess.
The three cousins were silent, and Ling Xiang smiled and tried to break the deadlock: "I just said that I want to see if it is unfounded, but now that I hear that it is sunny and rainy, why is Sister Ling startled?"
The three sisters of the Rong family brushed together: "I would like to hear the little sister-in-law's high opinion." ”
"I don't have a high opinion. Ling Xiang smiled playfully and pointed to the western sky, "Look, it's not dark yet, and the moon has already come up." ”
Several girls couldn't help but look up at the sky, but saw that the sky was as clear as a wash, and the white clouds were swimming, but there was really a faint crescent moon crawling in the eastern sky, like a shy girl who had just left the door.
Cai Zhi came back to her senses and shook her shoulders and said, "Little sister-in-law is anxious about us?"
Ling Xuan shook his head: "How dare you be anxious? Haven't you heard that the Holy Imperial Body is against harmony?"
Rong Cailing responded: "This is naturally rumored, Cousin Hong is in a hurry to get married, isn't he afraid of ......"
Seeing that she also knew the taboo, Ling Xiang nodded and smiled: "No matter how authoritative people are, that day will inevitably come after all." The saint has a long life, that is, the auspicious people, the princes may not be idle, and the requests of the foreign ministers, who still remember them like you. If you don't have a clear purpose, why don't you learn from your cousin?"
"That's right! Rong Cailing couldn't help but applaud.
Cai Lan smiled bitterly: "How can I make the decisions about my daughter's family's family affairs? And our father is cautious, I am afraid that the old emperor's grandfather will dare to choose a marriage for us without authorization." ”
Ling Xiang heard Su Jinhong say that Emperor Shunzuo's situation was not good, and he didn't even dare to mention that the king of Yuyang wanted to find a position for his nephew for the time being, and his heart moved: "Since my sisters are close relatives of the royal family, why don't you go to King Zhao's mansion?"
