Chapter Seventy-Six: Seeking a Turnaround
The envoys of the two countries who came to ask for relatives lived in the post house last time, and the adult in charge looked sad, this really threw two hot potatoes to him!
took advantage of his free time to call all the people who were waiting in the inn, and repeatedly told everyone to be clever and not to go wrong at this time.
There are many people in the palace, and the news spreads quickly. As soon as she went down to court, Princess Zhaohua got a letter here, knowing that both countries came to marry the princess.
Princess? There is only one princess in Beixin, and she can't find a second one, although she wants to choose one, but she can't escape from this real card.
She was warned by her mother in the hunting ground, and she has been very well-behaved lately, learning calligraphy and practicing embroidery and piano skills in the room all day. But this matter can't just be left to its senses, it's all up to others, how can she fight for it, her father loves her so much, maybe there will be a turnaround?
Zhaohua was angry, his aggrieved little face was full of anxiety, and he entered the Xianyang Palace of the first concubine with unsteady steps.
In front of the stone table in the small garden of Xianyang Palace, the first concubine was idly watching a few little palace maids playing with pitchers under the rockery not far away.
There is such a gorgeous golden wire cage in the palace, and there is nothing to do all day long, either to enjoy the flowers or to be in a daze. A little palace maid over there hit it, with a bright "giggle" on her face.
It's good to be young, I think she was also beautiful and beautiful, and now, alas! Shuang Ningqin sighed faintly, rubbing her cheeks with her fingertips, now, I'm afraid it's not far from the old pearl yellow!
The little palace maid behind her was hammering the hard walnut shell with a delicate small jade hammer, and the voice was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it was very incongruous.
Shuang Ningqin was suddenly a little irritable, and couldn't help but reprimand the palace maid: "The hammer is endless, don't you want to live anymore." ”
The little palace maid was so frightened that she knelt down in a panic and kept kowtowing. "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry, spare the slave and maid."
When Zhaohua came in, the little palace maid's forehead was already dripping with blood, but the first concubine was looking at it with cold eyes on the side.
Seeing Zhaohua come in, she finally waved her hand impatiently to let the palace maid go down.
"Zhaohua, come, come to the concubine, why don't you embroider in the palace today? Are you tired again? She patted the stone bench beside her and said with a smile.
"No, it's just that Zhaohua has been locked in the room all day these days, a little depressed, and he hasn't greeted his mother in the morning, so now come and sit with his mother, so I can relieve your boredom." Zhaohua was also smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
The bloody picture just now is still vivid, Zhaohua pressed the words in his stomach deeply, it seems that it is impossible to find the help of the concubine. She thought in her heart, her half-hidden eyes dim.
The two chatted with each other, Xu saw that Zhaohua was absent-minded, and Shuang Ningqin also looked like she was happy, so she sent her back early, and she went into the palace to take a nap with the support of the old woman.
Zhaohua was already preoccupied, and he couldn't stay in front of the first concubine for a long time. She was going to go to her father before the matter was completely settled.
Zhaohua hurriedly arrived at the Xuande Palace, and after inquiring with the little eunuch at the door, he learned that Bei'an Huang had just left on his front foot and went to Lan Miyun's Fengxia Palace, so he turned around and headed towards Fengxia Palace.
The little palace maid who followed her was out of breath, this princess was stunned today? Run so fast.
There are not many twists and turns today, and Bei Anhuang came to the queen after he was busy with the matter at hand, and personally came over to give an edict on the selection of candidates.
This decree was also made, and the tea was drunk, but Lan Miyun said that he would let him accompany him to play a game of chess, and after thinking about it, he agreed.
The two people who were playing this game were contemplating on the chessboard, and Princess Zhaohua raised her feet and entered the palace gate of Fengxia Palace, and before she took two steps, she was stopped at the door by the head of the palace, saying that she would not let her in.
Where did she dare to let this little ancestor in, the queen mother finally looked forward to the emperor coming up, the two of them have not yet had a stick of incense, if they let people in at this juncture to stir up the situation, she is afraid that she will not have to do the position of the mother, and go home directly to support the elderly.
Zhaohua has been running for a long time, her heart is in a hurry, and her forehead is covered with sweat, this old lady won't let her in, how can this be good?
Her heart sank, so she shouted towards the hall, "Father, Zhaohua has something to ask you, Father, are you inside?" ”
The old lady sighed in her heart, and stepped forward to beg Princess Zhaohua to stop shouting, but at this time, Zhaohua didn't have the heart to listen to her, and shouted to the hall one after another.
The two of them in the game were at a critical moment, Lan Miyun was distracted by the shouts outside the hall, and immediately fell into the wrong place.
Lan Miyun complained coquettishly, but Bei Anhuang said, "If you are not careful, you will lose everything." ”
The two of them smiled "hehe", got up and walked out of the hall, it was so noisy outside, they couldn't pretend not to hear it.
Seeing Bei Anhuang come out, Zhaohua put aside the old lady who was in the way in front of him, and knelt down with a "plop".
"Father, Zhaohua has something to ask for his father." Her little face was flushed, and her voice was eager.
Bei Anhuang didn't speak, but Lan Miyun, who was beside him, stepped forward to help Zhaohua up, and said with a smile: "Princess, what's wrong?" Why are you so anxious to see your father, come in and say. ”
Entering the hall and sitting down, Bei Anhuang asked with calm eyes.
Before Zhaohua could speak, he knelt down again, and his words were amazing.
"Zhaohua doesn't want to marry in another country, her daughter doesn't want to be a princess, she doesn't want to be a queen, her daughter just wants to be Brother Yu's wife."
Her tone was like a little crying, and her eyes were watery.
"Princess, what kind of stupid thing are you talking about, since the envoys of the two countries have arrived in our capital, aren't you embarrassing your father when you say this now?"
Lan Miyunxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking like an elder educating a junior.
"Father, father, you love your daughter the most, you only have me as a princess, and I have loved my daughter the most since I was a child. Now that your daughter wants to be with her beloved, you can fulfill your daughter! ”
Zhaohua burst into tears, knelt and moved in front of Bei Anhuang, holding the bright yellow trousers tightly with both hands, and couldn't stop begging.
Bei'an Huang's face sank like water, and he sat quietly without saying a word. Lan Miyun, who was beside her, saw that something was not quite right, and quickly glanced at the old woman standing next to the red lacquer pillar.
The old lady immediately understood, and sent the little palace maid to Xianyang Palace to inform the first concubine. This little ancestor kept shouting that she would not be the crown princess or queen, and she couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat when she heard it, and she might poke out some big man.
Zhaohua fell to his knees with tears and couldn't stop praying to his father. Bei Anhuang didn't speak, Lan Miyun could only keep persuading Zhaohua to dispel his thoughts and wait for marriage with peace of mind. I remembered the scene that happened in the hunting ground at that time, and looking at the reaction of the first concubine that day, I am afraid that there is really some unsavory secret hidden from the emperor.
She brushed away the doubts in her mind, and she could only watch the play with peace of mind.
