If you are kept in the dark, you will go, and now that you know the inside story, of course, you can't be stupid and calculated.

Wanwan doesn't have the ability to do anything else, she will pretend to be sick, and when the day comes, she will temporarily send someone to Kunning Palace, saying that she is infected with the wind cold and is bedridden, even if Zhao Niangniang is unhappy, she can't see it, whatever!

The spring / color is just right, her Luohan couch is placed in a place where you can see the begonia tree, the breeze blows, and the light incense is entrained, flowing through the finely carved moon cave window, refreshing. She looked up at the clouds at the top of the tree, and rarely felt troubled. For example, the queen's self-imposed matchmaker addiction, she was very disgusted when she first heard Wuqi talk about it. But after sleeping all night, and eating two sheep's eye buns the next day, my mood suddenly broadened. There are many setbacks in a person's life, and they can't live that day.

The freshly finished words on the desk were pressed against the paperweight, and there was a gust of wind, and the rice paper was lifted and the sound was crisp. She rolled over and lay with her back to the door, and it was almost noon, drowsy. Today, I don't have the interest in singing, and my limbs are so heavy that I can't lift them. Xiao You tiptoed down the sill window, went to clean up the pen and ink on the table, and suddenly called out "Young Eunuch Xiao is here", when she heard it, she immediately sat up.

Looking around, there was no one in sight, Xiao You laughed, and she knew that she had fallen for her.

"Mama asked you to embroider, you said that you were sleepy, why did you mention Young Eunuch Xiao, and you came to the spirit?"

Wanwan touched her face, "I just remembered that there are still two pages of scriptures that have not been copied, and I plan to get up and copy the book." In order to save face, he slowly stayed and moved to the back of the desk.

You don't give up, looking left and right, "Have you been here today?" ”

Xiao You said no, "People are busy people, I heard Wuqi say that the wind direction of the master of ceremonies is going to change, Xiao Shaojian is the most capable of the four Bingbi, and the slave feels that he will definitely be able to be the palm print this time." ”

Wanwan Xiaokai dipped in the inkstone for a long time, "Actually, the factory minister is very good, but he is a little fierce......"

"What is the East Factory? The only person who can be a commander there is probably only you who say he is good. Xiao You leaned over and blew the ash on the water rhombus, tilted his neck and began to think again, "Then again, it is good for us that his old man can be a palm print." Anyway, I've always been in charge of things in our palace, and I'm not more intimate than others! If he supports you, in case the emperor can't take care of you, he can still take care of it. ”

This situation is embarrassing, the celebrant was just a yamen in the palace in the early days of Daye, and the later emperors relied on one by one, and until now, the eunuch in power is almost worthy of the first assistant of the cabinet. Although Wanwan is a girl, she also has her own opinions on political affairs. Emperor Tai/Zu once explicitly forbade eunuchs to interfere in politics, and there was a lesson from the past in ancient times, and later generations did not take the words of their ancestors seriously. She sometimes thinks long-term, and she doesn't know how this country will end in the end. Of course, if you have to find someone among the eunuchs to share the emperor's worries, then Xiao Duo is still a good candidate.

Xiao You pretended to fool her again, and curtled his knees outside the door: "Say hello to Young Eunuch Xiao." ”

Wanwan didn't raise her eyebrows, "I wrote back to you at the beginning, and I believed you again the second time, I'm a fool." ”

"Who does Your Highness say is a fool?"

Someone outside really came in with a robe, turned his head gracefully, and the person who came wore a black gauze and a fragrant embroidered python flying fish suit, even if his face was sparse, there was always a smile in his eyes.

She was stunned, stood up and called the minister, Xiao Shaojian waved his hand at her and saluted, "The people in the palace are going back and forth, saying that His Royal Highness's jade body is against harmony, and the minister is here to take a look." His eyes rolled over her, "Your Highness feels that you owe something to her?" ”

Wanwan was very nervous, and stroked her forehead crampedly, "It's just that your head is hot, and your throat and eyes are uncomfortable...... Still weak, cold sweat ......"

Young Eunuch Xiao's eyebrows were raised almost invisibly, "Listening to the symptoms, it seems that he is not lightly ill." He stepped on his feet and asked the people who were waiting outside: "The master is sick, why don't you go to the hospital and ask the doctor to come?" There are so many people in front of me, what are they eating! ”

In this deep palace, the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch absolutely have the power of life and death, and the life and death of the palace maids and chamberlains are just a matter of their words, so they are all so frightened that their faces are pale, and they lie on the ground and kowtow.

Wanwan couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth, "Don't be angry, I didn't ask them to ask for a doctor, because I wasn't sick at all." She lowered her head and blushed, "Because Queen Zhao Niangniang invited me to Kunning Palace for a snack a few days ago, I didn't want to go, and it was difficult to excuse myself, so I could only call myself sick and on leave." The factory clerk knows the truth, don't tell Zhao Niangniang, I'm afraid of offending her, and I'm embarrassed to meet in the future. ”

The expression on Young Eunuch Xiao's face did not change from beginning to end, and he listened to her calmly, and calmly told her: "Your Royal Highness is the eldest princess, the legacy of the first emperor, and the dignity is extraordinary, no one in this palace can force you to do what you don't want to do." Now that you're older and have your own opinions, if something makes you embarrassed, or you feel a little unhappy, and you don't need to think about it, it's not a good thing. ”

Wanwan raised her eyes and thanked him for these words. It is true that she is the eldest princess, but she has no mother since she was a child, and she is timid, and she is used to looking at people's faces. Take him as an example, he came to supervise her palace affairs, originally she was the master, he was a slave, and she didn't need to be afraid of him at all. But somehow, she is always afraid of him, and she is a little dependent on him, probably there are not many people who are really good to her, and when she meets one, she feels that it is commendable!

She folded her hands and nodded seriously: "I remember the words of the factory minister." ”

Xiao Shao smiled after listening, "The minister is an internal official, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to be so polite to the minister." As he spoke, he waved his hand to dismiss the people under the corridor, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness only knows that Zhao Niangniang invited His Highness to eat snacks, but he doesn't know that Shao Niangniang is asking the emperor for marriage right now, right?" ”

Wanwan was taken aback, "Marriage? To whom to marry? ”

He looked at her with a smile, "Naturally, it's for Your Highness." ”

Now she has no idea, when the queen stopped her outside the gate of Cining Palace, Shao Guifei was not far away, she and Xiaoyou didn't understand what the queen's intention was to ask about age, but Shao Guifei knew it. Since the queen is circuitous, she simply goes the opposite way and directly asks for a decree, which is much less time-saving and labor-saving than beating around the bush.

She, the eldest princess, is really pitiful and pathetic. She was annoyed, clenched her fists and said, "I'm not married!" ”

But no matter how good her mother's family is, there is no reason to stay for a lifetime. Besides, marriage is a good thing in the broad sense of the word, and you can hate the person who is trying to send you out, but you have no reason to hate the thing itself.

She knew that she couldn't stand up, her expression became even darker, and she wrung her fingers and said, "Minister, now this matter makes me unhappy, what should I do?" ”

"The minister said that what is not happy is not a good thing, since you are disgusted, you can ignore it."

Ignore it? She was whirling in circles in the center of the earth, and if she left it there to sprout, maybe one day a will come down. She wanted to enter the Qianqing Palace to face the saint, not because she couldn't do it, but because she was afraid that she would alarm the Cining Palace afterwards. After thinking about asking Xiao Duo again and again, he just shook his head and asked her to press, after all, her marriage is not something that can be decided in a few words, and there is an opportunity for her to speak.

"Look, master, you're getting hot." Xiao You has a bit of a bitter taste, "The ladies in the palace are all stammering, and they want to take you to their parents' house." But the two families haven't heard of anyone who is particularly climate-like, mud pigs and dogs, and they also want to be the master. ”

Wanwan stood under the flower tree and was stunned, and she thought of a set of rhetoric, in case the emperor's brother summoned her, she would be able to deal with it. Xiao Duo is right, people can't look above the top, and they can't put themselves in the dust. Although she has lost her skew, her identity is there, and she is in the past, the eldest princess Yi and the prince, is she worse than anyone?

She straightened her chest, "Xiao You, look at me, how is the momentum?" ”

Xiao You said: "It's not warm enough now, and when the summer is over and you wear less, you can see that the momentum is coming." ”

What they said was not a thing, she twisted her body in frustration, broke a branch of begonia and went back to insert the bottle, and the girl followed in, her voice was like a mosquito, buzzing in her ear: "Your Highness...... Your Highness, the slave maid is full of thoughts and wants to talk to you. ”

She hummed, "What's wrong?" ”

"That young eunuch Xiao...... The friendship with Zhao Niangniang is not ordinary, what you explained to him before, he promised you to keep your mouth shut, and then sold you to Zhao Niangniang, how can it be good? ”

What does it mean that friendship is not ordinary? Wanwan asked, "Why is it not a common law?" ”

Xiao You rolled the horn to her ear, "The young eunuch serves Niangniang, it is said that they are all serving on the embroidery bed......" shrugged his shoulders with embarrassment, "You ponder." ”

Wanwan's face changed after hearing this, and she reprimanded her in a low voice: "Listen carefully to your mouth, just talk nonsense in front of me, if you let others hear, will you still live?" Xiao You was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue, and she also felt that the sky was suddenly shortened, and the dark clouds were overwhelming, making people unable to breathe.

This palace is really a mess, I thought there was at least a little comforting place, but who knew that it was dark under the lamp, and it was as dark as a deep well.

She was a little girl, and there were some things she shouldn't have asked, and she shouldn't have heard them at all. It's just a pity, she used to admire Xiao Duo's personality very much, but now, it's really a bit difficult to explain.

She was depressed and disappointed in reality, but fortunately the emperor's attitude gave her a little comfort. Shao Guifei was favored again, but the eldest brother didn't take her marriage as a favor, and after thinking about it again, he still passed her to the Qianqing Palace and asked her what she meant in person.

When she stepped into the East Warm Pavilion, the emperor was sitting under the south window, leaning on the kang table and looking at a set of Mongolian fire sickles. The emaciated side face is reflected in the reflection of the glass, like a fluttering phantom. Seeing her coming, he put down the things in his hand and smiled, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down." ”

Their brother and sister have a deep relationship, and they are not estranged because they were not born to the same mother. Before the death of the first emperor, he had specially announced that the prince would meet him and entrust her to him. Later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, even if he became the supreme of the Ninth Five, he secretly told her that when there were no outsiders, she could not see the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

The emperor's benevolence is that he thinks of brother and sisterhood, but she can't take this favor for granted, and still respectfully respects and asks for peace in front of the emperor, and the emperor gives her seat, and she is grateful to the gods, so she owes and sits down.

"I heard from my eldest companion that the dragon is healthier today, and looking at the spirit of the eldest brother, there is nothing lacking compared to before." She looked at her brother carefully, "There's nothing uncomfortable at this time, right?" If you have a headache and brain fever, the doctor will diagnose and treat it well, and you can't stop taking it if you are afraid of the bitterness of the medicine. ”

She won't explain people, and the emperor laughed when he heard it, "You think I'm you, and you're still afraid of the bitterness of medicine?" Don't worry, it's really much better today, even if you play two sets of punches. ”

Wanwan showed a smile on her face, paused and asked, "Big brother passed me, what is the send?" Listen to you. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that yesterday the concubine and I talked, mentioning the Honglu Temple Cheng Wenyue ......" The eunuch brought the tea, the emperor paused, pinched the lid and scraped the tea, and said in a slow voice, "That Wen Yue, who is twenty years old this year, is rare to look like a talent, and he is fluent in music." ”

"Honglu Temple, the affairs of the court, the guests, and the auspicious ceremonies. A Cheng, from the official ...... of the sixth grade" She gently clenched her fist, "Wanwan lives in the palace, and doesn't ask about the affairs of the foreign court, what does the eldest brother do with me mentioning this person?" ”

She came prepared, although she didn't break it, but she shook off the endorsement of other people's official positions. I really want to be the master, and the petty officials from the sixth rank are too high, and the princess of this dynasty has never had such a precedent for marrying low.

The emperor may have been a little tempted, but she easily pushed back. After thinking about it carefully, I really wanted to marry this family, and I really wronged my sister, so I shook my head and said: "It's my mistake, let's not mention this matter again." ”

Wanwan sighed, stood up and thanked him: "Big brother for my heart, I have always been grateful to you in my heart, but I am still young, I want to be filial piety in front of my mother for two more years, and it is not in vain that my mother raised me." It's not a difficult thing to get out and surrender, but after a few months of preparation, I will get married. I'm just afraid that others may not love me as much as my brother, so what can I do then? ”

She is still childish, even if she is sometimes stubborn and unreasonable, the emperor has never bothered with her, and blindly smiled: "You are the eldest princess, who dares to give you anger?" If the horse embarrasses you, you go back to the palace to sue the royal court, and I will beat him to open his skin and flesh, and give you anger. But it's a joke, you should also have a plan for your marriage, and you are not in a hurry to surrender immediately, you have to have a score in your heart, so that you will not be flustered in the future. Fourteen years old said that it is not big, and it is not too small to say that it is small, I want to ask the queen mother for ideas, but I am afraid that you will be reluctant, so I will hold on to you first and see what you mean. ”

Wanwan squirmed, "I know that my eldest brother is facing me, I have taken your words to heart, and I want to ask my brother for a grace not to force me to marry someone I look down on in the future." In case the queen mother is unhappy, I beg the eldest brother to be more thoughtful for me, and I will be grateful to the eldest brother for a lifetime. ”

The emperor sighed, coughed a few times and finally stopped, and said smoothly: "It is not difficult for you, but you also need to be sensible." At the moment, there is an opportunity, there is a big banquet in the Dragon Boat Palace, and the officials and princes of the foreign cities have not been summoned to Beijing for six or seven years. I remember that when the emperor was in the exam, he always took you to the banquet, and this year's banquet you attended with the queen mother, and it was easy to see if there was a suitable candidate during the banquet. After saying that, he suddenly remembered and reminded her emphatically, "Everyone can be successful, but the barbarians from Nanyuan can't do it." Murong's princess doesn't intermarry with Yuwen's family, remember? ”

Wanwan had heard earlier that the Qi people of Nanyuan had red eyebrows and green eyes, and they did evil in the Qilian Mountain area, and the Tai/Zu Emperor drove the expedition in person to collect those monsters. She is a princess of a big country, so naturally she will not marry a foreign race, but the emperor's repeated orders made her curious......
