Chapter 92
Out of the gate of the palace, Mrs. Gao sat in the carriage with a sad face, and the maid next to her hurriedly took the teacup to her, and said a little unhappily: "It is said that the princess has a high temperament, but the lady went in for a long time, but she was reluctant to give a cup of tea. ”
As he spoke, he hesitated a little: "Madam, have you really decided to do this?" The princess is not easy to get along with, and the prince doesn't like Wen Niangzi, if Wen Niangzi enters the door, she will not be pleased with the eldest woman, and she will not please Lang Jun, I am afraid that life will be difficult. ”
Mrs. Gao sighed: "I didn't know that this day was going to be difficult, but things have come to this point, if I can't marry the prince, I'm afraid that Wenniang will go down." "Now, Wen Niang's trouble, no one outside dares to come up and propose marriage, unless it is those people she looks down on, either for the power of the Gao family or for Wen Niang's dowry, how can she look at such a family?
Moreover, with Wenniang's temperament, she dared to commit suicide before she said it, if she really said something else, she would only be such a daughter.
The maid paused and said, "Looking at the princess's body today, it is not very good, if it is difficult to give birth when giving birth......
Mrs. Gao quickly patted her hand: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" If anyone hears it, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. You only see that the princess is not in good spirits, why don't you see that the princess's face is very good. ”
Jiao Wanwan was originally acting, so naturally she didn't have the mood to put on makeup or anything, if she looked a little weak and had no strength to speak, her face was actually very good. This maid didn't dare to look closely, but Mrs. Gao looked at it carefully.
"Since you are in good health, why ......" The maid looked puzzled, and Mrs. Gao sighed lightly: "What else do you not understand?" The princess is like that, she made it clear that she didn't want to mention Wen Niang's matter, she is now pregnant, that is the heart of the queen mother, if we just came out of the palace, she invited the doctor on the back foot, saying that it was a fetal gas, do you think Wen Niang still has a chance to enter the palace? ”
The maid was taken aback, and she was even more uneasy: "The princess is so scheming, Wen Niangzi is innocent and simple, if she really enters the palace, I am afraid it will be ......."
Mrs. Gao waved her hand and stopped talking, and the maid didn't dare to disturb Mrs. Gao, so she had to lower her head and put away the teacup.
Jiao Wanwan leaned on the cushion, thinking about it and couldn't find any good way, she couldn't find someone to assassinate Gao Wenniang just because Gao Wenniang wanted to marry Zhao Defang, right? Even in modern times, when you encounter such a love rival, you can only restrain your own man.
Otherwise, really let the Queen Mother give her marriage?
But Gao Wenniang is not yet eighteen years old, and it is a little early now, and it is not easy for the Queen Mother to make an order at will. Jiao Wanwan sighed, how did she encounter such an unreasonable mallet? It's just, shameless!
When Zhao Defang came back, he saw that Jiao Wanwan was a little depressed, and hurriedly asked, Jiao Wanwan didn't hide it, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, she said the matter again: "I can't even figure it out, the Gao family is not the kind of family with a small family, why do you have to rush to give your little lady to someone as a concubine?" ”
Zhao Defang corrected: "It's not a concubine, it's a side concubine." ”
"The side concubine is also a concubine." Jiao Wanwan glanced at him, and Zhao Defang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what you said is that the side concubine is also a concubine, so why don't I talk to Master Gao?" ”
Jiao Wanwan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, if Lord Gao is unwilling, you can ask the imperial brother to help and make some trouble for the Gao family." ”
Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing: "It's better not to involve the court, right?" ”
"Why did the Gao family hold on to you? Isn't it because you are the only brother of the official family and want to rely on you to reach a higher level in the court? You can only finish this matter if you interrupt this dream of the Gao family. Jiao Wan said strictly, Zhao Defang nodded: "Okay, okay, listen to you, I'll make it clear to Master Gao first, if the Gao family has to be entangled, then give them some lessons." ”
However, without waiting for Zhao Defang to find a chance to have a glass of wine with Master Gao and talk about Gao Wenniang, Mrs. Gao took Gao Wenniang to the door again, Jiao Wanwan was really impatient, so she simply disappeared.
After a while, I saw Ruyi hurriedly come in: "It's not good, then Mrs. Gao pulled Gao Wenniang to kneel at the door of our palace, and kept begging the princess to save her life." ”
Jiao Wanwan squinted her eyes and asked, "Help?" Whose life will be saved? I'm not a doctor, and even if I save my life, I shouldn't be looking for me, right? ”
Ruyi's face was a little ugly: "Save Gao Wenniang's life." ”
Jiao Wanwan was speechless, Gao Wenniang committed suicide again? So if you can't marry the palace, you won't die, if you are kind and tolerant, you have to quickly welcome Gao Wenniang into the door, and then give her the title of side concubine?
In an instant, the anger in Jiao Wanwan's heart couldn't be controlled, and she even thought that it would be better to bring Gao Wenniang in, but the side concubine didn't think about it, and she was just an aunt. Doesn't she just want to be an aunt? In the future, she will only be locked in the backyard, and she will not even see Zhao Defang's face, she will slowly boil it if she can stand it, and if she can't stand it, she will commit suicide at will, anyway, she is not Gao Wenniang's father, and she doesn't need to take any responsibility for an aunt.
But this thought is just a passing in my head. It's not that Jiao Wanwan still sympathizes with Gao Wenniang or anything, but because she will never allow anyone to interfere in her marriage, even if it's just an empty position. The bottom line is something that must be kept, and if you can't stand the first step back, you can immediately be forced to take the second step and the third step, and retreat again and again, until there is no way back.
Now I can give the position of an aunt, maybe I will have to give the position of a side concubine in the future, and then maybe I will have to raise the child of the third child in the future. Jiao Wanwan is not a generous person, she will never let this kind of thing happen.
"Only Mrs. Gao and Gao Wenniang?" Jiao Wanwan asked, nodding ruyi: "Yes, I am still kneeling at the door, princess Niangniang, this matter must be resolved earlier, now is the time for the next dynasty, and people from various prefectures are coming and going, if someone sees it......"
Jiao Wanwan frowned: "What if you are seen?" It's also Mrs. Gao and Gao Wenniang, what does it have to do with me? ”
After a pause, he asked again, "The prince should come back in a while, right?" ”
Because he wants to talk to Lord Gao, Zhao Defang rarely goes to the court once, and when it comes to the next court, should he not be dragged by Lord Gao, right?
"You find someone to wait at the gate of the palace, and as soon as the prince comes out, he invites the prince back to the house. As for the outside, let Huang Mei deal with it, and publicize that Gao Wenniang was going to commit suicide if she couldn't be a concubine. "The Gao family is going to persecute her, and she doesn't have to show mercy to the Gao family, anyway, she has come to this point.
Moreover, tearing their faces with the Gao family is not a hindrance to them, anyway, Zhao Defang does not have to win over the courtiers.
"In addition, when I went to the doctor, I said that I had fetal gas." Jiao Wanwan ordered to go down, not in a hurry, if the Gao family wanted to continue to make trouble, they would probably have to bear the charge of trying to force the princess to death and let Gao Wenniang take the throne.
She originally thought that Mrs. Gao was a smart person, but she didn't expect that she was also stupid. However, thinking about Gao Wenniang, it doesn't seem strange to have such a play.
After waiting for half an hour, Fushun hurriedly came over to report: "The prince has gone down to the court, out of the palace, and is with Lord Gao, the little one told the prince about the matter, and Lord Gao also came over, and he is outside the palace at this time." ”
Jiao Wanwan got up, but after thinking about it, she sat down again, she had just invited the imperial doctor, and she couldn't show up at this time. Moreover, she should believe Zhao Defang, and it is most correct to leave this matter to him to solve by himself.
Otherwise, others will say that she is a jealous father. She doesn't care about outsiders' opinions, but she is afraid that the Empress Dowager Song in the palace will also think that she is jealous and unvirtuous in the future, so she has to let Zhao Defang express her position to the outside world. Otherwise, she can solve the first and second times, and what about the third and fourth times in the future?
"Send someone to guard it, and come back in time to tell me about the outside matter." Jiao Wanwan sat down again and instructed Ruyi.
Ruyi hurriedly responded, sent someone to guard outside, and passed the news from outside in time.
Now is the time of the next dynasty, there are also a lot of mansions to buy or something out, in short, there are people coming and going, at the gate of the palace, there have been a lot of people. Zhao Defang and Master Gao came over, and when they saw the scene at the gate of the mansion, Lord Gao's face turned pale first, and he quickly turned around to apologize to Zhao Defang: "Xia Guan didn't know that she would do such a thing, but I begged the prince to spare their mother and daughter for the sake of Xia Guan's face." ”
Zhao Defang frowned, walked forward slowly, arrived at the door, went up two steps, and looked at Mrs. Gao: "Madame, what are you doing?" ”
Mrs. Gao cried and kowtowed: "I just ask the prince to save the little girl's life, the little girl is sincere to the prince, and she has no regrets, if she can't marry the prince, she will die." ”
As she spoke, she motioned to Zhao Defang to look at Gao Wenniang beside her. Gao Wenniang is probably really in love with Zhao Defang and can't extricate herself, and Gao Wenniang at this time is different from the innocent and lively one before.
In the past, although she was boring, she had fair skin, watery eyes, vitality, and charm. But now, the skin is pale, the body is thin and there are bones left, the eyes are surprisingly big, there was a dead silence just now, and the wood is like a stone man, as soon as Zhao Defang appeared, the eyes immediately lit up.
The contrast between before and after, if it were an ordinary man, it would be distressing, after all, it was for himself to be like this, and he had to be proud of his charm. No matter how guilty you are, even if you don't like it, you probably have to agree to bring people closer to the house.
But Zhao Defang is not an ordinary man, he only glanced at Gao Wenniang, and said: "I am not a doctor, how can I save other people's lives?" Mrs. Gao is looking for the wrong person, so let's go back as much as possible. ”
Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect Zhao Defang to refuse like this, just about to open her mouth, Lord Gao stepped forward to pull her up, Mrs. Gao couldn't live or die, and begged bitterly and kowtowed: "Lord Wang, please look at the little girl's infatuation, even if you don't give her a name, even if you only let her be a maid by your side, we just want her to live, only by your side, she can live." ”
Another official who came with him couldn't help but persuade: "Lord Wang, it's just a woman, just give her a room and a few mouthfuls of food, and the palace can't afford to support her, why watch her die like this?" ”
"That's it, I heard that the princess is pregnant, and if you find someone to serve the prince, the princess will definitely not object."
"If you don't like it, just lock it in the room and don't let her come out, the prince also has a lot of that mouthful of food, isn't it?"
Zhao Defang frowned, and the people around him pointed again, Lord Gao looked like he was pulling Mrs. Gao up, but a big man, if he really has a heart, can he not even drag a woman away?
"Needless to say, I won't let the little lady enter the mansion." Zhao Defang waved his hand and looked at Gao Wenniang kneeling on the ground: "If you want to die, go find a place to die, don't threaten me with this method, not only will I not like you, but I will only think that you are terrible, you can even ignore your own life, if you are unhappy one day, what should you do if you want someone else's life?" I don't dare ask for someone like you. ”
After a pause, he said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes here, so I ask you to testify, in my life, I will only grow old with my wife, and I will never welcome others into the door to disturb her sadness, so whether it is a side concubine or an aunt, or a room, there will never be." ”
"It's her own business who the little lady likes is, but it must not be because she likes me, so I have to marry her, this kind of absurd thing, the tall lady still solved it early, otherwise, I'm afraid that the Gao family will be affected by the little lady Gao."
After speaking, he turned around and entered the house, Fushun immediately waved his hand, and the family quickly closed the door. Ruyi asked people to quickly report to Jiao Wanwan, while staying to continue watching.
Among the crowd of onlookers, some shook their heads and said that Zhao Defang was controlled by a woman, and some praised Zhao Defang's deep love for his husband and wife, and some persuaded Mr. Gao to quickly take his wife and daughter back and not to be embarrassed here.
The little lady Gao was stunned for a while, then suddenly got up and shouted at the palace: "Lord, I only like you in this life, if you don't want to, then it's not interesting for me to live, but I hope that in the next life, I will marry you first!" ”
After speaking, the stone lion rushing towards the door of the palace crashed over.
Mr. Gao was dragging Mrs. Gao in his hands, and Mrs. Gao was still kneeling on the ground, and neither of the husband and wife reacted. The onlookers exclaimed, thinking that they were going to see the scene of blood splashing, but they didn't expect that a person suddenly appeared in front of the stone lion, Gao Wenniang hit her head, and was bounced back, retreated four or five steps in a row, and sat on the ground with a pop.
As soon as he looked up, it was a person dressed in a palace maid to serve, and looked at Gao Wenniang with disdain: "Our princess Niangniang has thought of it a long time ago, saying that you may commit suicide, let us guard here, and sure enough, ......"
Clapping his hands, not only this stone lion, but also the stone lion on the other side, and behind the doorpost, four or five maids came out.
"Okay, our princess Niangniang can be regarded as saving your life, can you leave now?" The maid spoke quite politely, and the tall couple didn't know what face to put on, which was really embarrassing.
Gao Wenniang bumped into this first time, but she didn't succeed, she was shocked and angry, looking at the maids staring at her, as if to say that she should change places to bump into her, she was ashamed and angry, she couldn't stand it, and lay down on the ground.
When Zhao Defang entered the house, the little maid was talking about things outside, and Zhao Defang stretched out his hand to poke her forehead: "Invited the imperial doctor?" How's your body? Is there anything uncomfortable right now? ”
Jiao Wanwan smiled and took his hand and asked people to sit down beside her: "It's okay, everything outside has been taken care of?" ”
Zhao Defang glanced at the little maid: "Don't you know everything?" ”
"How can what others say be the same as what you say, what the hell is going on?" Jiao Wanwan hurriedly kissed him on the side of the cheek, Zhao Defang's expression eased, and she briefly said what was going on outside: "It is estimated that the Gao family will not come to the door in the future, and you don't have to worry about Gao Wenniang." ”
It's all come to this point, and Zhao Defang also made it clear that he would not let Gao Wenniang enter the door, and if the Gao family still wants face, they will never come to the door again. Of course, even if the Gao family is shameless, it is estimated that they will not dare to come to the door again.
As soon as Jiao Wanwan was in a good mood, she ate two more bowls of rice at noon, and Zhao Defang, who was watching, was very worried: "Will it hold on?" ”
"No, the weather is good now, and in another month, let's go out?" Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, and patted the lotus next to her: "The lotus is so big, I haven't seen it outside, and I want to go out to see it, isn't it?" ”
After two ahs, Jiao Wanwan looked at Zhao Defang with a smile: "Over at the academy, I also plan to hold a spring outing, do you want to participate there?" ”
"Spring outing? It's a good idea, but there are too many people. Zhao Defang pondered for a while: "It's easy for male students to do it here, but for female students, if something happens, it will be suffered." ”
"No, I'll let the gentlemen go with me." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile: "Find a good place first, and then send the guards to guard outside, never allow outsiders to enter, and then go out for a spring outing in batches, set off early in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and barbecue outside at noon." ”
After a pause, he said, "If I wasn't pregnant, I would have wanted to go." And when they come back, you can also ask them to write a few poems, or write an article or something, which is also fun. ”
Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid that if I go two or three times, they won't want to go." ”
"Those who want to go will still go, and those who don't want to go, I guess they still have to go." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile and yawned: "I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, do you want to sleep for a while?" ”
Zhao Defang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll be with you." ”
got up and went to the inner room, helped Jiao Wanwan dismantle the bits and pieces that happened to her head, changed her clothes, and the two of them lay on the bed, and after a while, Jiao Wanwan's breathing stabilized first, but Zhao Defang couldn't sleep a little.
Until now, I still don't know who lives in this body, and whether she can really stay by her side for the rest of her life. Even if you have a child, what about when the child grows up?
What was her original world like? Occasionally, every word that comes out of her words can only guess that the world is a very peaceful and rich world, will she miss the original world?
At first, he was just curious about this person. The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy suddenly discovered that the person next to him might be from another world, there is fear, there is worry, but curiosity is also there.
So, cautious observation, curious temptation. Knowing that she is not aggressive, will not hurt people, and like normal ordinary people, she will also be injured and sick and have to eat, drink and Lazar, she is afraid of it, her worry is gone, her curiosity is getting more and more, and her understanding is getting deeper and deeper.
Unconsciously, I put too much thought into it, and I can't get it back. So, she began to protect her, and she had to rummage through the history books for the rare things she made, trying to find the prototypes that had appeared in history to exonerate her. He had to fill in the holes in her speech.
Although it takes effort, it is not tired, but it is full of interest.
Then, the feelings get deeper and deeper. I always feel that now, on the contrary, I can't do without her more and more, because in this world, there is no one who can bring him fun all the time like her, and there will always be wonderful ideas. There is no one like her, as long as she sees it, she can't help but laugh from her heart, just like a little sun, the sun is sprinkled on her body all the time, even if it is summer, she will not feel hot.
For the sake of such a person, there is no hesitation at all to refuse other beauties sent to the door. Can someone else be like her? For the sake of a plaything, if one day the little sun of his house is in danger, it will be too late to regret it.
Now he can also see that Wan Niang is getting closer and closer to him, and her heart defense is getting lower and lower. When I am an outsider, I have to think twice about what I say, but I often blurt it out to myself, and it is not like when I was newly married, when I found that I was wrong, I had to rack my brains to make up for it, and now I find that I said it wrong, at most I pause and then change the topic. Therefore, what you do by yourself is not useless.
It's still early, and there will come a time when this person will completely let his guard down. Then, tell him about another world.
Well, otherwise, let's have more children, or if there are more children, she will feel safer, and then she will be willing to show more flaws? Of course, he can't completely count on the children, he himself has to work hard to let her know that he will not fail her, so that she can trust herself more and be closer to herself.
After making up his mind and formulating a course of action for the future, Zhao Defang turned his head sideways and kissed Jiao Wanwan on the cheek, then closed his eyes and slept first. The affairs of the Gao family, I have to go to the palace to talk to my mother and the imperial brother, lest they misunderstand Wanniang.
