Chapter 34: Why Didn't You Come?
Luo Shanren's eyes touched the thing, and he was stunned, and the prince's voice was calm: "Can you understand what I mean?" β
Luo Shanren bowed and said in a low voice: "Yes, the old man understands." β
The prince half-squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where Mei'er disappeared, and said: "It's good to understand, you can rest assured, I fell in love with your girl at first sight, and I will never wronged her, and I will go back to the palace later to ask my father to give her a decree to marry, and I will come to marry Mei'er in person, as for the position, as long as I can make it, I will honor it." β
Luo Shanren was pleasantly surprised, so he could only kneel down and kowtow: "The old man and the little daughter have thanked the prince for his kindness." β
The prince and the horse went out of the house, and Luo Shanren took the thing left by the prince and rushed to the courtyard where his daughter lived.
Mei'er was half-leaning on the pavilion and was looking at the lake.
"Mei'er, what are you doing standing in the lake on this cold day? Go back to your room and make a fire. β
Mei'er looked back at her sweaty father, slightly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Daddy has something?" At this time of the year, you mostly go to the store to inspect the pΓΉ? β
"Your second brother is going this year, I won't go, Mei'er, come, dad will tell you something"
Mei'er listened with a blank expression, she looked at the delicate concentric knot in her father's hand, last night the prince ordered someone to send a red jade phoenix hairpin, and today she delivered this concentric knot, the intention is self-evident.
"Dad, can I refuse?"
Luo Shanren looked at his daughter and sighed heavily, and put the concentric knot on his daughter's hand: "You can refuse all the men in the world, but you can't refuse this emperor in Zhongzhou in the future, my father used to worry that when the emperor must be three palaces and six courtyards, there are countless concubines, you are mixed in it, it is inevitable that you will be wronged, but your life is like this, only to catch up, Mei'er, you are naturally beautiful, ordinary people's sons and daughters really can't bear you, only the man who is ordered by the heavens has the courage and ability to give you happiness, in this case, you still relax your mind, Prepare yourself for the future of court life! β
Mei'er pinched the concentric knot in her hand, and said abruptly: "Dad, do you even approve of it?" The daughter is lazy, how can she stand in a group of women who compete all day long? Isn't that forcing me to jump into a fire pit? β
Luo Shanren stomped his feet and said, "Can Dad say no?" In fact, as long as the prince's heart is towards you, why should you be afraid of those women? β
Mei'er cried: "Won't I be able to become a nun?" Why do you have to marry the crown prince? β
Luo Shanren looked at his daughter strangely: "Why do you have such thoughts?" Prince Yuyuan looks dignified, the instrument is magnificent, these days I am secretly observing, he did not hold up the prince's shelf, treat people very amiably, I believe that in the future will be a master, such a man, even if he is not a king, I believe that he can also make the world's fair lady tempted Rare he fell in love with you at first sight, since he said that he wants to ask for marriage, it must be a grand event, there will definitely be a place left for you, you don't have to worry. β
Mei'er looked at the dark yellow floor, and said in a low voice: "No matter how good my daughter is with Hongchen and Prince Jiyuan, my daughter doesn't have extravagant expectations, Dad, if I open my mouth to refuse this family business"
Luo Shanren shouted: "Never! Are you trying to cost your father and brother's life? Mei'er, you are usually smart and clever, why are you so stubborn? It's up to you to decide this matter, so stay at home and wait for the decree to be arranged. β
Mei'er's face was pale, and she knelt down: "My daughter will never cause trouble to my father and brother, don't worry, father." β
Luo Shanren's face turned a little pale, he stretched out his hand to pick up his daughter, and said in a harmonious voice: "Silly girl, you are Daddy's most beloved daughter, Daddy only hopes that you can rely on you for life!" Since the prince means to you, this is also your blessing, and my father is so happy! Okay, it's windy here, go back to your room to warm up, and recuperate with peace of mind. β
Mei'er kept having nightmares this night, and the sultry and annoying flute still rang in her ears, but the man she longed to see was nowhere to be seen.
She woke up at dawn, looking at the morning light that leaked into the daze, if there was no Qingming that time to meet the snake, my mood, my expectations would be different, but what happened is what happened, although the encounter was full of weirdness, but it really happened to me, how could I pretend to be casual to bear the prince's favor?
"I will not marry any man in the world, but if I do it rashly, will my father and brother be questioned by the prince?"
She kept turning the jasper bracelet on her wrist, where are you? If the prince had taken me away in a few days, would you have escaped so safely, without a trace?
Perhaps, the sentence that came to pick me up and leave was just a joke, but now in my heart, I am sincerely looking forward to it, why don't you come to pick me up?
On the sixth day of the first month, Luo Junxuan, the second son of Luofu, married Zhang Zirong, the eldest daughter of Zhang Yuanwai, and after a day of disturbance, the girl of the Zhang family finally wore a red wedding dress and stood with Luo Junxi in the magnificent hall of Luofu to worship heaven and earth.
This year, there are two nobles stationed in the house, and the new couple worships heaven and earth after a worship, and the second worship becomes the prince and the princess Mingzhu, and the two royal highnesses are sitting on the main seat, accepting the newlyweds with a smile on their faces.
After the husband and wife finished worshipping each other, they were immediately sent to the cave room, and the wedding banquet began.
Over the years, Miss Luojia has stayed in her own small world under the careful protection of Luoshan people, and rarely shows her true face, so although she is famous, she is fortunate enough to witness a rare person, and today she was invited to watch the ceremony in Luofu is not rich or expensive, and everyone in their hearts in addition to holding a close look at the style of the prince and princess of the dynasty, but also hoping to see the peerless demeanor of Miss Luojia.
The two elder brothers of Luofu's daughter have been married, so the marriage of this daughter will soon be put on the agenda, and everyone knows in their hearts that this daughter is really a full daughter, if she is included in the palm, she will get not only a warm nephrite-like beauty, but also the rich dowry behind her, as well as the full support of the two brothers.
Today, everyone's curiosity finally came true, not only saw the legendary future monarch and princess, but also saw the beautiful Miss Luo family behind Luo Shanren, Miss Luo smiled and watched the ceremony of the second brother and the second sister-in-law throughout the whole process, until the second brother and his wife left with the red silk and disappeared behind the bead curtain in the company of the maid.
Although she didn't even turn her eyes to others for half a minute, everyone on the field felt that Miss Luojia smiled at me when she saw me.
The prince and the princess naturally will not dine with ordinary guests, after a pair of newlyweds return to the cave room, the prince and princess will return to the inner hall, which has already set up a sumptuous banquet for the prince and princess to enjoy.
As the main family, Luo Shanren should go to the hall to accompany the guests, but today the prince and princess are there, he commanded Luo Fu a few words, hugged his fists to the guests, and said: "Lost company", and hurried back to the inner hall to accompany him.
The prince looked thoughtfully at the seat next to Luo Shanren and said, "Where is Miss Luo?" β
Luo Shanren raised his eyebrows, and his daughter was still standing behind him watching the excitement, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye, he called a little maid: "Where did Miss go?" Come and find her, the prince and princess are waiting for dinner, this girl is getting more and more unruly. β
Soon Mei'er opened the bead curtain under the guidance of the maid, she had changed into a lilac skirt, and the pearl on her head had also been replaced by a simple jasper hairpin, she first confessed to the princess, and then went back to the embroidery building to change clothes, and then walked to her father and sat down, Luo Shanren glared at her daughter, and whispered: "More and more unruly, give me a little bit from tomorrow, and learn etiquette well." β
Mei'er felt quite aggrieved, she had insomnia last night, tossed and turned in the middle of the night to fall asleep, this morning to Qinghe pulled up from the bed, thinking that today is the second brother's big day, she forcibly cheered up, circulating and socializing, and waited for the newcomer to be polite, she felt a splitting headache, and thought about going back to the room to rest for a while, but just lay down, she was called by the maid.
She sat next to her father, facing Prince Jueyuan, Prince Xuanyuan looked at her with a smile, and was amazed in her heart, under the candlelight, this woman became more and more elegant and enchanting, and every time she saw this natural charm, she felt a little stronger.
Although he did not officially take a concubine, there were still many beautiful concubines around him, but since he saw Mei'er on Chinese New Year's Eve, he actually had a sense of loss of soul, although he also knew that Mei'er's identity could not become his concubine, but it was still okay to become his favorite concubine, and this thought gave her the red jade crested hairpin he carried with him.
Now the woman lowered her head shyly under the gaze of his blazing eyes, and the charm only made his heart irritable, but in front of the sister-in-law and Luo Shanren, he couldn't express it, and the prince could only forcibly suppress the itch in his heart.
"The staff said seriously, Miss Luo's health has not been very good, she needs more time to rest and recuperate, there is nothing important on weekdays, so don't disturb her, by the way, Beijing sent a hundred South China Sea pearls and three thousand-year-old ginseng at noon today, I will order someone to send it to the girl later, and the girl can recuperate with peace of mind."
Mei'er thanked the prince, and Princess Mingzhu's clear eyes turned between the imperial brother and Mei'er, and said with a smile: "Imperial brother, after the sixth day of the new year, do you plan to continue to live or leave for Beijing?" β
Prince Jiyuan poured himself a cup and said with a light smile: "I shouldn't go out for too long, I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow, and after the matter at hand is done, I will come back to Los Angeles." β
