CH.106 Asking for Marriage
I hurriedly got up and knelt in the hall, "The Empress Dowager!" ”
She didn't say anything, she didn't let me get up, but she didn't let me continue to kneel, I didn't know what to do, I had to continue to kneel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I looked up and looked at Helian Changfeng quietly, this was very different from the one I saw on weekdays, in fact, he was a person, but I didn't expect that now his playfulness has reached such a level regardless of the occasion......
Helian Changfeng glanced back at me.
The innocent smile that the outsider looked clear and innocent actually made my heart chill.
Looking at Shen Congxuan with squinted eyes again, his expression was not very good-looking.
On the other side, Shen Qinglan looked at Helian Changfeng thoughtfully throughout the whole process, and squinted his eyes slightly, which was one of the signs of Qinglan's unhappy mood, and I seemed to see an uneasy and dangerous aura around him.
Everyone present was holding their breath, only the Empress Dowager had a smile on her face, looking happy.
"Yo, Changfeng, your vision is okay, Miss Chu is the only one in our Southern Wei who thinks she is a female speaker."
Helian Changfeng raised his arrogant little head in a chic manner, very proud.
"After all, I stayed with the Empress Dowager for many days when I was a child, and I still have to have this vision."
I really want to tie a monkey to the back of his shirt, you can be awesome, why don't you go to heaven!?
"Brother Feng," His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on a high seat, said quietly, "This request to see the Imperial Grandmother can't help you." ”
……
Helian Changfeng didn't think that His Majesty would have a problem with him at all, after all, compared to the shamelessness of this emperor, His Majesty the Emperor had lost to the second prince in front of him many times.
"I can't say for sure, Your Majesty said it very early."
……
The two of them faced each other and began to play a game of staring, I really don't know if these two people really knew each other since they were young.
"That's right, Changfeng, this is a busy ...... The mourning family really can't help you. The Empress Dowager looked at me inquiringly.
"There have already been many people who have mentioned to me that they are interested in this Chu girl, I'm afraid you're a step too late."
A lot of people?
I was a little stunned.
I wasn't alone.
and Shen Congxuan.
Helian Changfeng found that Shen Congxuan had a stunned expression, and felt that something was wrong.
"Huh?"
All eyes of the audience were focused on this old but unfailing lady.
"You are not the only one who has talked to me about this Chu girl, I think it is indeed a coincidence today, and they are all here?"
The Empress Dowager sat on the carved gilt chair, tilted her head sideways and looked at the breeze outside the boat gently blowing the water surface and raising the slightest ripples, and said in a leisurely tone: "It's just ......"
She looked at me, and I hurriedly lowered my head, afraid that my eyes would collide with her.
"Chu Ge, get up first."
"Yes, thank you to the Empress Dowager."
Isn't it enough for a Helian Changfeng to make trouble, who else wants to get involved in this troubled water? This empress dowager is too, so I won't say half of it.
I muttered quietly.
The Empress Dowager looked out of the window since she got me up, and she couldn't just tear up the topic in the next sentence to praise the fresh and clean air, without the slightest pollution?
"Ah Tao, Qing Lan, and His Majesty the Southern Wei beside me...... Have they all told me about it......"
……
Another bolt from the blue!
Shen Tao and Shen Qinglan!
The Empress Dowager's words are undoubtedly like a burst of thunder in the daytime that has chopped me all away, and there is no scum left.
But then I realized that something was wrong.
Shen Tao stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, took a step forward and pointed at himself, "I'm blind, when are I going to marry that unruly woman......"
His voice was very small, but I still noticed it, and I also saw Shen Qinglan, who was standing next to him, grabbed Shen Tao in time who wanted to rush to the center to explain to everyone.
It's not just Shen Tao who doesn't believe it, I don't think anyone who knows the inside story doesn't believe it.
Oh, and at the end of the day, I'm not much of a insider.
So...... What the hell is going on?
The Empress Dowager lied?
The Empress Dowager finally turned her mind back to business, and a large number of enthusiastic listeners and participating figures were waiting for her to continue "telling the story".
Who knew that she looked at the silence in the hall, and I don't know who was worried, and she could hear the sound of a heart beating nervously.
"Knock knock."
"Knock knock."
The Empress Dowager suddenly sneered, so that everyone didn't understand what kind of play this was going to sing.
Suddenly spoke: "You many people rob, of course I can't make the decision for you, no matter which person you choose to give Miss Chu to him, the rest of the people are not comfortable." ”
She nodded to a small palace maid beside her, and one of the palace maids picked up a few steps forward and handed me a mahogany box.
I looked at the Queen Mother......
Do you want me to take it?
The Empress Dowager nodded, I took the wooden box, and the palace maid also turned to get busy.
When I opened it, it was a small jade pendant card.
I don't know why a sentence came to my head, although it was very inopportune at this moment.
"The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year—uneasy and kind."
I was about to ask, but the Empress Dowager spoke first.
"You choose your own relatives, this little jade card, you hang it on your body, it is a gift from the mourning family, as evidence, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty must not force you to marry your relatives, go against your will, if you violate it, you can be killed. Chu Ge, do you think this is good? ”
Isn't that good?
Can I hold up a sign that says bad?
Although I stepped on the **** luck to enter the palace, but after all, I am still a commoner in my bones, for civilians, there is no royal magnate, the consciousness of being the right person, I naturally obey my heart, I even jumped over the cliff, what are you afraid of being forced?
This......
Well, the imperial power is not an overactive move at the moment.
I hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Shen Tao snorted in his ears.
"Whoever wants to marry her is really blind."
I laughed in my heart that he was really ignorant.
I always feel that Shen Tao will die a miserable death in the future, and the person I may marry in the end is still sitting not far from him......
And on the royal cruise ship above Surabaya, everyone filtered out this episode and returned to the turbulent life of the royal family.
The Empress Dowager was also talking to the royal family about the classic passages in the Four Kingdoms Dialect Book Contest, and occasionally praised me, saying that this girl should have been extremely ordinary in their memories, and it had opened their eyes these days.
Gu Wanyang also added a sentence for me, saying that when I was usually in the small courtyard of the little girl's family waiting to get married and sit in the boudoir, I went out heroically to take on the work of the family, which really admired me.
I secretly wiped a handful of sweat, yes, I'm just an old girl, I'm happy.
That's why I always don't like to deal with women, or this kind of official children who are said to have some talent and walk to the sky.
I wanted to get angry, but the Empress Dowager smiled and agreed.
I have no choice but to give up.
Everyone chatted a few words and then dispersed, gathering in twos and threes around the royal ship, those who should chat continue to gossip, and those who should eat melon seeds continue to eat melon seeds.
And Gu Wanyang, the party I wanted to strangle to death, was sitting by the window, basking in the sun leisurely, and I watched the maid pour her a cup of tea.
I have lived in three places, and I have read a lot of books on the joys and sorrows of the court, and when I arrived in this place, the things I encountered were all like this, and the routine I saw in the book was not at all the same.
For people with serious IQ deficiencies, yes, for example, me, the solution to the problem is - deep palace routines, I want to go back to the village and town
- Hide!
Although the body is an authentic "old girl" who looks unweathered, but after all, the mind has experienced thousands of people, and sometimes I think that if Aunt Qing had not forcibly sent me out, I would not have encountered these wonderful things.
In my impression, my life should be like this: the afternoon sun shines softly in the courtyard, after taking a nap, I have been sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard pavilion reading an ancient poem, simmering a pot of hot tea, looking at the small stove of steaming pastries in the kitchen, quiet in my ears, occasionally there is a sound or two of insects, if I am lucky, there are black Dandan and his pearl sister to play with me.
Just as I was distracted, Mingzhi tugged at my sleeve, "Girl, the fourth prince is coming to our side." (To be continued.) )
