Chapter 193: I've been dreaming about it for a long time
Compared to the small commotion outside, the air seemed to freeze in the imperial study at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Yongtai has indeed moved in the past few years to find a colt for his daughter from the Pei family.
But he has never been able to decide whether to choose the son of the Pei family and the princess who should be matched.
The best choice is, of course, Gu Xi's son, he has no fate to be a husband and wife with her in this life, and it is not bad to be an in-law.
The princess marrying Gu Xi's son and the prince marrying Gu Xi's daughter are different after all, and it will not have much impact on the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he made a final decision, the second child did such a dirty thing, which made him disappointed in Queen Pei's mother and son and the Pei family.
He knows better than anyone that the noble and noble ministers are unwilling to let their sons be concubines, and Gu Xi is definitely not willing to let the eldest son be the master.
In the past, Queen Pei had such a proposal, and he would never accept it.
But that's no longer the case.
For the sake of the Great Zhou Jiangshan, the children of the Pei family, even the eldest son valued by Gu Xi, are no longer suitable to hold important positions in the court.
Since Pei Jincheng's future is like that, it is very suitable for such an excellent and self-righteous man to be his son-in-law.
The eldest daughter and the second daughter already have horses, and now the princesses of the right age are the third Ruihua and the fourth Ruiying, and the elders come first.
I thought that the queen still needed to spend some persuasion, but I didn't expect her to have a heart-to-heart with him, which was not easy.
It's just that he hasn't had time to invite Pei Tingyan and his wife into the palace to symbolically ask for advice, and the Pei family has already known the news, which is really unpleasant.
This matter will definitely not be revealed by Queen Pei, and when it needs to be kept secret, the woman's strictness is comparable to that of a secret guard.
It seems that the last purge still failed to clean his side, the Pei family ...... The hand is too long, and the power is too large.
Emperor Yongtai looked coldly at Pei Jinhong, who was kneeling straight in front of the Long Shu case, but his expression was extremely firm, and said in a deep voice: "Repeat what you just said." ”
Pei Jinhong was actually so nervous that his heart was about to pop out, and he said stubbornly: "Weichen has been fond of Princess Ruiying for a long time, please fulfill it Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Yongtai snorted heavily: "I think it's covetous!"
The corners of Pei Jinhong's mouth trembled almost imperceptibly, Yuan'er really killed him.
Emperor Yongtai said hatefully: "You are a bastard boy when you play a child, you used to enter the palace with Pei Jinxin, and you always coaxed me to be happy with a 'emperor's uncle', what's the matter? Now the princess who covets me wants to be my son-in-law, and you know that I am called Your Majesty?"
Pei Jinhong hurriedly kowtowed: "Please ask the emperor's uncle to fulfill it." ”
Emperor Yongtai said: "You have only been in the forbidden army for a few months, I originally planned to promote you to be a commander after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the future will be immeasurable...... I'll give you one last chance, who told you to say these things today?"
Coveting Ruiying's words is naturally just talking, and Emperor Yongtai will also not believe that an excellent prince of the Hou Mansion will like the royal princess.
After all, when they choose a wife, the scope is too wide.
He is from the past, and the man likes a woman, either because of his talent or because of his appearance.
It was not at all pleasant to belittle his daughter, but he had to admit that there was indeed no outstanding among his daughters.
Compared with those high-ranking ladies with both talent and appearance, in addition to an incomparably noble identity, it can almost be said to be a complete failure.
In addition, princesses rarely leave the palace, and there is little contact with men outside the palace, it is not strange that love at first sight happens to princesses with limited knowledge, but it is absolutely impossible otherwise.
Therefore, Pei Jinhong heard the news that he planned to let Pei Jincheng become the master, and volunteered to come to relieve the siege for his eldest brother.
Hum!
Do they think that his Yuwenzhao's daughter is a cabbage in the market, and they dare to pick and choose?
Since Pei Jinhong came, he didn't plan to retreat, he said very decisively: "Uncle Emperor, there is indeed no one to instruct, it is indeed Jinhong's favorite Princess Ruiying." ”
Hehe...... Still hard-mouthed!
Emperor Yongtai sneered lightly: "Okay, I will believe your nonsense, then I will tell my uncle, you have a crush on Ruiying? ”
Pei Jinhong pursed his lips secretly, Yuan'er's words were indeed the truth, and the emperor's uncle was indeed a little nervous.
He said a little shyly: "Weichen was fortunate to see Princess Ruiying's dancing a few months ago, and it has been unforgettable since then. ”
He was also out of the way, and when he heard Yuan'er say that Ruiying was good at dancing, His Majesty didn't know about it, so he simply gambled.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongtai's brows quickly furrowed.
Nowadays, noble ladies have to learn various talents since they were young, but they do not include the so-called "talent" of dancing, which does not seem dignified and chaste.
Ladies are pampered and noble, and they never need to scratch their heads to attract men's attention, that's what lowly dancers do.
Of course, it is not excluded that some noble ladies are particularly fond of dancing and secretly learn from the dancing girls in private, but no one will show off their dancing postures in public, at best, as a boudoir pleasure when they are with their husbands after marriage.
I didn't expect Ruiying to look timid and cowardly on weekdays, but she still has such talent and courage.
Oh, yes, her biological mother Zhang Liangyuan used to be a famous dancer in Suzhou when she was young, and this skill must have been inherited from Zhang Liangyuan.
Emperor Yongtai began to believe Pei Jinhong's words a little.
The princess's ability to dance is definitely a secret that cannot be passed on, and even his father, the emperor, knows nothing about it.
If it weren't for Ruiying deliberately wanting Pei Jinhong to know, he would never have wanted to know this secret, let alone witness her dancing with his own eyes.
Zhang Liangyuan's dancing skills are not boasted indiscriminately, if she hadn't been bought into the mansion as a dancing girl early, with her skills, she would have had a place even in the talent-rich capital.
Ruiying is her daughter, and after more than ten years of careful teaching, it is not bad to think about it, enough to attract teenage hairy boys.
It's just that his daughter used such means to "seduce" the young man, as the king of a country, Emperor Yongtai felt a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't see joy or anger on his face, stared at Pei Jinhong's eyes that were somewhat similar to Gu Xi's, and said, "Whether your words are true or false, I will find out when Rui Ying comes later." ”
Pei Jinhong beat a small drum in his heart, when the matter came to this point, he could only hope that Princess Ruiying would be smart and try to help him turn this lie through.
As for marriage......
Anyway, he doesn't have any favorite girls.
It's a big deal to be a horse master who eats, drinks and has fun for a lifetime, and Ruiying doesn't suffer a loss if she marries herself;
Let's save the eldest brother from the sea of suffering first, after all, the future sister-in-law has already come to the door.
The two remained silent until there was a knock at the door of the study.
Emperor Yongtai raised his chin: "Go and open the door." ”
Before everyone, including Liu Shun, was sent out, and Pei Jinhong naturally became the one who ran errands.
"Yes, Uncle Emperor. Pei Jinhong stood up from the ground with a sour face.
