Chapter 136 is urgent

The princess sat on the top chair, watched Cheng ****'s milk walk away in embarrassment, her body relaxed, covered her face with a handkerchief and cried, Cheng Ke looked at her crying mother irritably, gritted her teeth, stomped her feet fiercely, turned around and ran out.

Cheng Ke drove away Cheng Erye's family with a whip, turned around the front yard a few times with a red face and was irritable, went out of the mansion, got on the horse and went straight to King Jing's mansion.

The next day, there was a rumor in the capital that Cheng Ke, the son of the king of Runan, could not be humane, which was more exciting and exciting than the fact that the third young master of the Zhenning Hou Mansion went on the stage naked and the loyal prince was stripped naked and paraded in the streets the year before last.

The rumors spread like wind and water, and in the blink of an eye, they spread all over the big and small corners of the capital, over the high city walls, and spread outward.

When Princess Runan heard this rumor from her mother-in-law's mouth, everyone in the capital was already aware of it, and the princess fell ill after crying.

Seeing that the princess took the medicine, King Runan repelled the maiden who was waiting in the house, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, looked at the princess who was crying and her eyes were red and swollen, sighed heavily, and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry, the rebel...... Alas"

The princess's tears fell like melons again, and the king of Runan sighed helplessly, and then said:

"Last year, I accompanied the emperor to the Gospel Temple to see the master, and specially asked the master about the marriage of the rebel, and the master criticized the image of the pomegranate blossom in the first bloom, don't worry, Xu is the marriage has not arrived, this rebel son ...... Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let's also want to open some, let's want to open more. ”

The princess stopped her tears, her eyes flashed brightly, she sat up suddenly, pulled the prince's sleeve, and asked anxiously:

"Is that really it? The first bloom of pomegranate blossoms? Isn't it a pomegranate? ”

The prince looked at the princess with tears and laughter, patted her hand lightly and comforted:

"You can rest assured, first take care of your body with peace of mind."

The princess nodded, her mood relaxed a little, leaned back on the pillow, the prince called the girl in, waited for her to lie down, watched her gradually fall asleep, and then got up and went out.

Cheng Ke hid in King Jing's mansion, and sent his servants back to inquire several times a day, but he refused to go back to the house for anything.

After the New Year, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke went against the lazy behavior of previous years, from the third day of the new year, either in King Jing's Mansion, or in Defu Building, or in Runan Palace, or to entertain guests, or to hold a literary meeting, or to lead everyone out of the city to hunt, or at the invitation of other families, walking around, lively Zhang Luo.

These lively things, Gu Xiao did not fall behind, Cheng Ke came over almost every morning, enthusiastically took him, feasted and entertained, visited guests.

Gu Xiao came back, and carefully talked to Mrs. Li about who he met, what he said, and what he did, Cheng Ke took him out, in addition to Huiwen, that is, to introduce him to the civil and military officials, leading him to socialize among the famous Wang clan, Mrs. Li asked a few times, and then put her mind at ease.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and the next day was the Lantern Festival.

Early in the morning of the 14th, Li Xiaonuan had breakfast, watched the people prepare the fillings for the Lantern Festival, and was about to go to Qingyi Pavilion, when the little girl from Mingyuan Hall rushed over and bent her knees to report:

"Miss Cousin, the old ancestor told you to hurry over."

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiaonuan was startled and hurriedly asked, the little girl shook her head,

"I don't know, Princess Jing is here, as soon as the ancestor sends Princess Jing away, he ordered you to come over quickly."

Li Xiaonuan pursed her lips tightly, her face gradually turned pale, and she hurriedly took the jade buckle and the golden chestnut and ran towards Mingyuan Hall.

In Mingyuan Hall, Mrs. Li leaned on the couch with a calm face, and when she saw Li Xiaonuan coming in in a hurry, she hurriedly straightened up, motioned her to sit on the couch, and comforted her distressedly:

"It's not a big deal, look at you, the sweat is out."

The little girl brought the tea, Li Xiaonuan took it, took a sip of tea, slowly calmed her breath, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Old Madam Li waved her hand to rebuke the girl's mother-in-law, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"Princess Jing suddenly came to the house just now."

Li Xiaonuan nodded, signaling that she knew, Old Madam Li lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before continuing:

"After saying a few words, I left, nothing else, I came to invite us to go over tomorrow to see the lights."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li with a surprised face, and was speechless for a while, this princess Jing, every time she saw the old lady, she had to accept the old lady's half-courtesy......

"I also specifically pointed out that you must go."

Mrs. Li continued in a low and slow manner, Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li in amazement, and gradually realized in her heart, Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to stroke Li Xiaonuan's cheek, sighed, and said gently:

"You were born too well, the ancestor has been worried, alas, I haven't told you, the year we entered Beijing, Princess Jing gave us the wind, and she probed me, and wanted to accept you as a side concubine, the ancestor rejected her, I am afraid that this is not what she meant, she is a woman's family, how can she take the initiative to show such a thing, alas, in the past few years, you have lived in a simple place, and the outside has been calm, the ancestor thought that this matter would be over, who knows...... Look at it like this, in the past few years, I am waiting for you to grow up. ”

Li Xiaonuan listened to Mrs. Li's words blankly, her heart throbbed and became dazed, Mrs. Li gently patted Li Xiaonuan's hand, and then said:

"Don't be afraid, people like us, he can't force it, I just read the yellow calendar, out of the first month, there will be a good day, set your and Xiao Er's family affairs, go tomorrow, our mother and son will treat nothing as nothing, first stabilize the first month, out of the first month, set a marriage"

Li Xiaonuan nodded again and again,

"Well, I listen to my ancestors."

Old Madam Li smiled and patted Li Xiaonuan's hand, and gently instructed:

"You go back and rest first, I asked Madame to come over, and I'll tell her about it."

Li Xiaonuan stood up, said goodbye, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and turned his head to look around in a trance. Getting married? It turns out that getting married is as simple as that, just nod.

Li Xiaonuan hung his head, returned to Yanshuxuan in a daze, lay on the couch, closed his eyes, and fell asleep dizzily.

The next day, Cheng Ke went to Gu's house early in the morning to pick up Gu Xiao, saying that he would go hunting outside the city first, and go to the right Prime Minister Yan's mansion at night to watch the fireworks.

In the evening, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou and Li Xiaonuan got into the car in the second gate and went to the Jingwangfu Lantern Tower to see the lights.

Under the lamp downstairs, the little girl led Mrs. Li and others upstairs, the lights in the lamp tower were bright, and there were burning charcoal basins in the four corners, and there were all the girls and women standing with their hands down, but there were no other ladies and ladies in the house, only Princess Jing sat on the top armchair in full dress, and watched the three of them come in with a decent smile.

Mrs. Li took two steps forward, knelt down and kowtowed on the mat placed on the ground, Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Li respectfully kowtow and saluted a little inexplicably, and was also busy kneeling down and kowtowing, Li Xiaonuan half-hung her head, knelt down on the mat respectfully, and bowed twice and six times.

Princess Jing politely let Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou sit down and served tea, but she didn't seem to see Li Xiaonuan, and let her stand next to Mrs. Li with her hands down, and Mrs. Li didn't seem to see Li Xiaonuan standing with her hands down, and only gently and politely chatted with Princess Jing.

Mrs. Zhou was a little trance-like, frowned and looked at Li Xiaonuan, who was standing indifferently, and then turned her head to look at Mrs. Li, who was only talking to Princess Jing, and also lowered her eyes, picked up the cup, and drank tea.

A few people looked at the lamp boringly for a while, and Mrs. Li got up with a smile and said goodbye, Princess Jing didn't stay long, turned her head and signaled to the big girl next to her, the girl turned around and went in, and came out with a very small yellow pear box carved with hibiscus.

Princess Jing took the box with a smile, opened it, took out a branch of jade leaves, shook it, gestured at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"Such a delicate step shake, and Miss Watch's **** appearance is worthy of it, Miss Watch will take it back and wear it to play."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly bent his knees and excused himself:

"Xiao Nuan thanks the princess for her love, but this step is shaken, not something that Xiao Nuan can wear, Xiao Nuan doesn't dare to accept it, thank the princess for her love."

Old Madam Li also took over the conversation with a smile,

"The princess loves Xiao Nuan, this is Xiao Nuan's blessing, but what is this step that she can use as a little girl in white? Don't say it's useful, just take it, it's all trespassing, this is a big thing to kill, the princess's love, Xiao Wenxin received it, and please forgive the princess. ”

Princess Jing held Bu Shao's hand for a moment, and had no choice but to put Bu Shao back into the box, and was hesitating, Old Madam Li had already taken Mrs. Zhou and Li Xiaonuan, bent her knees and retreated, and retreated to the door.

Prime Minister Yan's house was very lively, Gu Xiao's excited face was slightly flushed, and he sat under Prime Minister Yan Cheng, with his hands on his knees, leaning forward slightly, humbly listening to everyone talking and laughing around Prime Minister Yan Cheng, Prime Minister Yan swept the corner of his eyes over Gu Xiao, and his eyes flashed with satisfaction.

As the night deepened, the guests left one after another, Prime Minister Yan stood at the door of the hall, arching his hands casually, saying goodbye to everyone, and gossiping with Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao stood beside Prime Minister Yan respectfully, carefully accompanying him to see off the guests and gossiping.

The guests gradually dispersed, Cheng Ke was still nowhere to be seen, Gu Xiao was embarrassed, I don't know whether to say goodbye, or wait for Cheng Ke, these days, he followed Cousin Ke out, they all went in and out with him, if he said goodbye, Cousin Ke couldn't find him, wouldn't he be in a hurry?

Just as he was hesitating, Prime Minister Yan turned around and beckoned with a smile.

"Xiao'er come in with me, accompany the old man to have some supper before leaving."
