Chapter VI Candidates
Duan Min couldn't help but wonder: "How do you say this?" You know more than the Queen Mother? ”
Li Jingyuan, the county lord of Wenjin, said proudly: "You live in the palace all the year round, and no one around you has left the palace, where is I well-informed!" In the future, if you want to know something, you have to ask me for something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xuanhui, are you right? ”
Xuanhui Wei Khan, this Li Jingyuan, doesn't know how to be kind to people at all, only knows that he is domineering and aggressive. Thinking that he was only twelve years old now, Xuanhui smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Yuan is right! "Pretend to be tender, let her be fine.
Li Jingyuan regained face, her heart suddenly relaxed, waved her hand to the people serving in the house, and said, "You all go down, our sisters have to speak considerately." “
Seeing that the palace people all retreated according to their words, Li Jingyuan said: "The concubine selected the young ladies of the two families for the second prince, saying that after the second prince returned from Liaodong, she would invite them into the palace to look at each other. “
He Jing asked suspiciously: "The emperor's will was only made yesterday, and the second brother hasn't left yet, why don't you see each other in the past two days?" “
Li Jingyuan rolled her eyes and said, "You are stupid! Tian Dengwen, the chief soldier of Liaodong, is the elder brother of the concubine, and they go to do things for their own family, and they must do it beautifully! When the emperor's uncle is happy, there must be a reward, and the second prince is old again, maybe he will be crowned king this time! Some people in these two families are reluctant, and when they look back and take advantage of this scenery, they probably agree to the marriage. “
Seeing that the three of them were staring at her, Li Jingyuan added: "Actually, I don't know, I listened to my mother!" ”
Duan Min smiled: "Believe in you, believe in you, if we don't believe you, who else can we believe!" It's just that whose family does the concubine fancie? Is there anyone who can't look down on the second brother? ”
Li Jingyuan said: "What's so good about the second prince!" Forced to read by the concubine every day, reading is full of pedantic, but he still has to pretend to be elegant, and there are many people in Beijing who secretly laugh at him! As for the candidates......" She deliberately stopped, took a sip of tea, and asked Xuanhui with a smile: "Sister Shu doesn't want to know?" ”
Xuanhui was almost going to turn her face again, but she just knew a little gossip, how could Li Jingyuan be so proud, and she had to get back the field she had just lost.
Xuan Hui was just about to speak, but Yuan Xiang, who was guarding outside, came in and said, "Third princess, Aunt Jingyun said that Concubine Xian Niangniang is going back, and I ask you if you can leave." Xuanhui hurriedly responded: "I'll leave and let the concubine wait for me." After speaking, he hurriedly got up and wiped his hands and cloak on his cloak, saluted the three people in the house, and said, "The three sisters are sorry, I'll go first." I'm going to go to Chongwen Hall after two ****, and I haven't sorted out anything yet! “
Li Jingyuan hurriedly said: "Hey, don't go!" I'm not done yet! “
Xuanhui had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, and when he heard this, he turned around and smiled: "Then sister, let's keep it for the next time!" After saying that, he walked away.
On the way back to Chengqian Palace, Xuanhui kept secretly looking at Concubine Xian, and when she entered the gate of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Xian asked her: "What have you been watching me do just now?" What's on my face? ”
Xuanhui smiled: "I see that you didn't speak when you came out of the Queen Mother, and your face was not good, I wondered if I was angry with you again!" ”
Concubine Xian smiled, touched her head, and said, "No! My Xuanhui is now well-behaved and cute, and I am happy! But after all, the smile on his face was a little reluctant. Xuanhui wanted to follow the main hall, but was stopped by Concubine Xian: "I'm tired, I want to rest for a while." You go to your own temple and ask Yuan Xiang to help you tidy things up. The piano hasn't been used for a long time, so take it out and tune it. “
Xuanhui had to come back, and as soon as he entered the hall, he gave Cai Wei a look, and Cai Wei bowed her head and went out.
The piano that Xuanhui often played was rewarded by Emperor Yuan and Emperor on his birthday in previous years, Jiaowei Mingqin, and secretly glad that he had practiced the piano in his previous life, so he didn't let Mingzhu be dusty. This piano is very well maintained, but I don't know if it is because of Xuanhui's beloved things or the quiet care of the people around him before.
After adjusting the piano, Xuanhui sat at the desk and practiced calligraphy, and as soon as she finished practicing, Cai Wei came in. Xuanhui asked the people around her to retreat, leaving only Cai Wei before letting her speak: "Can you ask why Niangniang is troubled?" ”
Cai Wei's voice was crisp, and she said clearly: "The slave maid just asked Xiao Rong, who was picked up with the slave maid, and she follows Aunt Jingyun to do things on weekdays. She had been guarding outside the warm pavilion in Cining Palace, and heard a word. said that the Queen Mother asked Concubine Xian to say to the family, and quickly gave Xue Gongzi a retreat, she had a good family here to say to Xue Gongzi. “
Xuanhui frowned and asked, "But which family is it?" ”
Cai Wei said hesitantly: "Xiao Rong said that the Queen Mother didn't say it clearly, but ...... However, everyone in the palace said that the Queen Mother was going to give Xue Gongzi and the county lord of Wenjin a marriage......" After speaking, she glanced at Xuanhui quickly, trembling in her heart. Although it seems that Princess Xuanhui is not as grumpy as others say these days, this is her sweetheart who is about to be the first to be taken, and she is not sure if she will be angry.
Who knows, Xuanhui didn't dwell on this matter, so he asked again: "Did Xiao Rong hear anything else?" Before I left, wasn't the queen mother talking about the concubine choosing a concubine for the second prince? ”
Cai Wei's heart relaxed slightly, and replied, "Preparing for the princess's question, I asked Xiao Rong to tell me everything she heard before and after." The concubine took a fancy to the young ladies of the two families, one was the granddaughter of Yang Gelao, and the other was the eldest daughter of Cui Shilang of the Criminal Department. The Queen Mother was very unhappy, saying that the concubines were all daughters of civil officials, and her family had a martial character, and now she wanted to win over civil officials. Does the princess want me to inquire about these two young ladies again? “
Xuanhui shook her head, she had no impression of these two young ladies at all, they were naturally unknown people in history. Moreover, no matter who marries the second prince, it is inevitable that he will be martyred and protect his chastity in the event of a national disaster a few years later. Thinking of this, she was excited.
In her previous life, she was taken by her master to read history in Chongwen Hall, and these people in front of her were just names, and she didn't even have a specific image in her mind. These days have passed, a loving father, a gentle mother, and a harmonious sister have made her feel the warmth that she has never felt before.
She didn't know why she was here, and what was God's intention for such an arrangement? After the three princes got married, they would go to the vassal domain, and thus escaped the disaster of the fall of the capital. But what about the father? What about the concubine? What about the sisters? Xuanhui felt a splitting headache, she wanted to protect them, but she didn't know what to do. Tell them that the country will be broken and their lives will be short? I'm afraid it's a crime of great rebellion, and maybe I'll think she's crazy and locked up.
Xuanhui was even more desperate to see the third prince, maybe he would listen to her and believe her.
