Chapter 8: The Crown Princess?
After two days, Mama Chen still did not return, but the palace handed over an invitation, saying that the queen and Princess Anping invited all the official daughters to enter the palace to enjoy the moon.
Lu Binrou was puzzled with the delicate and gorgeous post, admiring the moon? November 15, which is freezing cold, what month is it to enjoy? It's ridiculous.
She took the post to her mother and asked her if something was going on in the palace. Xie Shi's expression was solemn, he stroked his daughter's face, and said for a while: "Rourou, if you are asked to be the crown princess, are you willing?" ”
Lu Binrou was stunned by her mother's look and words, and it took a while to come back to her senses and say hurriedly: "My daughter doesn't want to!" Mother also understands that as soon as she enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and Rourou does not want to live like that! ”
Xie Shi smiled and said softly: "Mother understands, since Rourou is unwilling, then it will be fine." ”
Lu Binrou rolled her eyes and said suspiciously: "But mother, the emperor ...... Didn't you have a crown prince? Why did the crown princess come from? ”
Xie Shi stroked the broken hair in front of Lu Binrou's forehead, and did not answer her question, but said: "Your grandmother once let out a word, those poetry will be banquets, and the granddaughter of the Lu family is frail, so she will not go - otherwise, you have not received a single post since you returned to Beijing." It's a thing, and the queen also knows it, but now Princess Anping has even posted a post on you......"
Her eyes became fierce, "Their Duan family's dirty affairs even want to involve my Lu family's daughter!" ”
Lu Bin knelt down in front of his mother's knee softly and softly, and said slowly: "Mother, the queen is going to choose a concubine for the sixteenth prince, right?" ”
Xie snorted, and Lu Bin said softly: "Rourou heard that the emperor intends to establish the emperor's eldest son, but the queen hopes that the youngest son raised by herself will ascend the throne...... The queen is this, do you want to force the Lu family to stand in line? ”
Xie Shi looked a little hurt in his eyes, nodded, and said in a low voice: "The queen sent Mama Chen to teach you etiquette, according to the rules of the royal county lord, generally in the future, you have to give a title and marry yourself." Because of this, my mother and your grandmother both thought that the queen would remember the old love and not bring the Lu family in, and your marriage would be more or less the master of the Lu family. Unexpectedly, she ......"
Lu Binrou sighed and said, "The Heavenly Family is really unpredictable. But mother, this time it's just a banquet, so you can't be sure that the queen has made a decision. Mother doesn't have to worry too much, there is still time for her. ”
Xie shook his head, looked at his daughter lovingly, and said: "Rourou, you are still young, I don't understand, there are very few engagement matters before the coming-of-age ceremony of your daughter's family, and the queen is suddenly like this, it must be a change in the palace, I am afraid that on the fifteenth day, your marriage will be decided." And if nothing else, it is very likely that he will marry the sixteenth prince. ”
Lu Binrou thought of Mama Chen, who left in a hurry, and had to admit in her heart that this might be true. She realized that she was a little frightened, and she was ...... Is it about to be inexplicably decided to get married? She looked at her mother pleadingly, and Xie was also looking at her.
Seeing his daughter's face finally showing a worried expression, Xie Wan suddenly wanted to laugh a little out of place, this girl was really too frank under the influence of her father, and the marriage that her daughter's family valued most was not even shy to talk about generously. Is......
She patted Lu Binrou's head and teased her: "Rourou, the most effective way now is to hurry up and set a marriage for you, it's too late for other methods, if Rourou has a favorite man, can my mother show that your grandmother will come to your door to ask for marriage?" We are not afraid of royalty. ”
Lu Binrou was ashamed and said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about, I'm a girl, how can a woman go to the man's house to ask for a kiss, the mother looks down on her daughter so much, it's true!" ”
Xie Wan pinched her childish face, and felt that her daughter was much cuter at this time than her usual calm appearance, in order to continue to see her rare blushing appearance, she continued to say: "Really not?" When Rourou was on the frontier, she followed her father and came into contact with a lot of people, but none of them caught their eye? ”
Lu Binrou was speechless and said, "Ah Niang, what kind of vision do you have, those people are all called uncles......"
Xie Wan smiled: "There are also young ......"
Lu Binrou disdained her mother's rare bad taste, glared at her, and said coldly: "Yes, there is finally a young and handsome person, and people have also taken a fancy to plain clothes, how can I be embarrassed...... My mother told me about those people."
Xie Wan choked, Su Yi and the Captain Mu Yun in the Northwest Army The marriage was facilitated by her, Su Yi grew up with Lu Binrou since she was a child, and she was also stable and reliable.
She didn't give up, and continued: "Mu Yun does have a good appearance and character, but he is too upright, and his family is poor, even if he doesn't take a fancy to plain clothes, A-Niang is not worried about promising you to her......"
Lu Binrou was crazy in her heart, what did her mother say, couldn't she hear that she was joking......
Xie Guan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Rourou, didn't you still see a young man go out of his mind on the road, and then I looked at the Gu family and it was actually good, that Gu Hui...... What do you think? ”
Lu Binrou was furious and said: "What did my mother say, that person actually asked to marry because of one-sided relationship, and even asked me to be a concubine, such a shameful and humiliating, didn't my mother be very angry, why did she still say such a thing!" ”
Xie Wan was just teasing her, seeing that she reacted so much, her expression became solemn, her daughter has an open-minded temperament, and people who don't take it to heart rarely get angry, it seems that the incident is ...... It still hurt her self-esteem.
She educated her daughter: "Rourou don't be angry, that disaster was not caused by Gu Hui, it was a side branch of the Gu family who brought someone here, and he didn't have much knowledge, so he did this in order to please his cousin, and the clan knew that he had already imposed a family law on him to drive him out." And you are also wrong, the daughter of the family has a noble status, but she has to sit in a car by herself, and she casually lifts the curtain to look at a strange man, and people think about it...... It's not that it's incomprehensible I think that Gu Hui is a knowledgeable person, and he definitely can't do such a thing. ”
Lu Binrou said coolly: "Mother is really generous, and she has spoken for others." Ignorance? Where did my brother learn about it, and it wasn't what Gu Hui said? If he didn't have this thought, someone else would run away and do such a thing? If I meet a strange woman on the road, I can ask for a concubine, if I really marry him, I don't know how many concubines will be welcomed into the door. If you want Lu Binrou to marry such a man, it is better to enter the palace. ”
Mrs. Xie knew that her daughter was really angry, so she sighed for a while and said with difficulty: "Rourou, you are still young, and there are some things you still don't understand...... After all, Gu Hui is a young man, and he is young Mu Ai...... That one...... The mood inevitably fluctuates, and when he is drunk, other people's words leak out, and it doesn't necessarily mean how casual he is in terms of women......"
Lu Bin Judo: "At least I haven't encountered such a disgusting situation. Mother, you think, his brother-in-law came to the door so frivolously, I don't know how Gu Hui told others, I don't believe that he is innocent. I get very angry when I think about it. ”
Mrs. Xie was speechless, although she herself believed in Gu Hui, but her daughter's words seemed to make some sense...... She peeked at her daughter with some suspicion, how could she think so much about her little girl's family?
What she didn't know was that in fact, when Lu Binrou followed her father in the army, because most people didn't know that she was a girl at first, she was just a child, so she didn't shy away from speaking, Lu Binrou was poisoned many times by the meat jokes of the group of over-energetic old men.
At the time, she was not very sensible, but as she got older and understood, she was very annoyed when she occasionally vaguely remembered those words. So...... It's no wonder she's so sensitive to this matter.
