Chapter 142: Discord
"Alas, seeing that you are growing up, although my grandmother is reluctant, she has also seen a lot of people for you." The old lady sighed and said slowly.
Sister Hui thought about it for a while, and whispered: "Grandmother, the godmother said that her mother had already set a marriage contract for her granddaughter with the prince of Dingbei Hou before she died. ”
Although she did not expect this to be done while the old lady was there, she had to remind the old lady that she would not be too calculating.
"Alas, your mother didn't know people clearly, and I saw that your filial piety period had arrived, but I didn't see the slightest meaning of finishing the ceremony, let's not do it! However, some time ago, Mrs. Qinghe Hou came to say to the nobleman, that is, the emperor took a fancy to you and chose you as a daughter-in-law. But this morning, the female official in the queen's palace came to say that the matter was stirred up by Prince Ke. Hui'er, grandmother is really useless, I'm sorry for you! The old lady snorted her tears, took out a handkerchief to wipe it, and looked at Sister Hui'er's eyes full of pity and apology.
"Grandmother, don't be sad, your granddaughter is willing to be by your side for the rest of your life." Sister Hui saw that the old lady was acting very hard in this play, so she also got up and knelt in front of the old lady, with an innocent face.
The corner of the old lady's mouth hooked up a smile, and she stroked Sister Hui'er's cheek and said lovingly: "You have also been raised by my side for four years, how do I not know that you are a filial child." It's what I love about you the most, but it's also what worries me about you the most. Grandmother can't protect you for a lifetime, you are so innocent and trustworthy, but it is difficult to guarantee that person will not harm you. ”
Sister Hui couldn't help but complain silently in her heart, although she was not loved by everyone, but if she wanted to say that it was harmful to her, there was no one else in the world except this old woman. But she still had to hang her head and pretend to be at a loss, "What grandmother said, granddaughter doesn't understand"
"Well, I didn't want to tell you about the things outside, but seeing that you have grown up, I will tell you some things. We won't mention many old things, but your godmother used to grow up next to the former queen for a few years, do you know? ”
"My granddaughter heard about it." Sister Hui nodded and answered, but she was suspicious in her heart, why did the old lady pull these things out?
"Because of this layer of origin, your godmother has always been close to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, although he has not moved much in recent years, in fact, he has also been very close in private." The old lady whispered mysteriously
"This time, I ran around and asked for a good family affair for you, but I don't know why the Prince Ke's mansion came to intervene and begged you to go."
Although Sister Hui never believed the first half of the sentence, even if she ran around, the old lady would definitely not be able to take her turn if she had such a good family. However, although the second half of the sentence is also very, she felt that the old lady didn't seem to be making up that nonsense for nothing, and her heart couldn't help jumping.
This side was just frightened, and before she could react, the old lady threw out another bomb: "How close did your godmother treat you in the past!" But at this time, she didn't go to the palace to say half a word, but let Prince Ke's mansion beg you to go, so let's not mention your marriage contract with the Zhang family, your mother never agreed back then! ”
"Grandmother, maybe my godmother has a last resort?" Sister Hui couldn't help but argue.
"Even if, His Royal Highness King Kejing is the emperor's concubine, with her friendship with His Royal Highness and the emperor, where can she not compare a prince's mansion far away from the court, but she has not said a word, nor has she mentioned it to you. Didn't you see the Zhang family's attitude clearly? The old lady snapped again.
When Sister Hui heard this, she was like a deflated ball, her body was slightly hunched, her head hung down, and she didn't speak again.
But in fact, I didn't believe it at all in my heart, the old lady's words to coax a real 12-year-old boudoir lady, that must be no problem. Because on the surface, it is true that the three princes are sons in law and princes, although Prince Ke is also a prince but is not involved in court politics, and the old princess has also faded out of the capital for many years. Although no one in Prince Ke's Mansion dared to offend at will, in fact, everyone had already expelled this palace from the aristocratic center. However, the Marquis of Dingbei is like the sky, and he is highly trusted by the emperor.
"Hui'er, I think that this Prince Ke's Mansion looks noble, but it is just because of the pity of the current saint, we have to look at the long term. It is said that you have been reading these days with the Seventh Princess, and I have heard that the princess values you very much, and the princess is loved by the saints, so why not let the princess ask for you. "It turned out that she was waiting for her here.
"The granddaughters all listen to their grandmothers, but whether the princess is willing to help, and whether the saint is willing to listen to the princess, Hui'er doesn't know."
Sister Hui responded, but she faintly felt in her heart that what the old lady asked her to do this time was too light, could it be that the old lady was really poor in donkey skills?
"Well, let's do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, if you really want to marry those concubines under Prince Ke's son, what kind of face do you let me have to meet your grandfather and mother, who doesn't know that the prince himself" The old lady frowned, tears dripped and sighed.
Sister Hui also frowned, with a very panicked look on her face: "Grandmother, granddaughter wants to go back and write a letter to the princess, and ask the princess to help ask for it." ”
The old lady pulled Sister Hui'er, who was anxious to get up: "Don't panic, it's too late today, and it's too late to send it tomorrow." ”
"Yes, thank you grandmother for reminding me." Sister Hui nodded helplessly.
The old lady was obviously very satisfied with her current state of mind, so she summoned Qiushuang and ordered her to take the lamp and personally send Sister Hui back to the leisurely residence.
Sister Hui thanked her for her blessings, and then followed by Qiushuang, followed by Wang's mother and Moqi, and returned to the leisurely residence.
Mother Zhao saw Sister Hui leaving, and while taking out the medicine that had been warmed early, she asked, "Does the old lady really believe that the Seventh Princess can go and ask the emperor to let Sister Hui marry the Seventh Prince?" ”
"Today, the people around the queen also said that now only the seventh princess can still try, after all, the holy decree of marriage has not yet been issued, Sister Hui is the daughter's family, do you want her to ask Princess Ke who is marrying her? Let's say it's a concubine, that girl is not sure how to be in a hurry, you just saw it, hehe, when the time comes, it will definitely be a good life to beg the seventh princess, and now, the child in the palace, the seventh princess is the first one. The old lady said slowly while drinking the medicine.
"But I didn't all point out that she had to marry the Seventh Prince, as long as she was separated from the Dingbei Hou Mansion through this time. In the future, it will not be in the way of the Xia family. After the old lady drank the medicine and rinsed her mouth with tea, she said.
Mother Zhao nodded clearly, no longer asked, but talked about the old lady's recuperation.
"The weather has changed too fast these days, and it will be good to show me when Master Qingyun comes down the mountain in the next day. You don't have to worry. But the old lady was impatient.
Mother Zhao sighed and waited for the old lady to sleep, although she didn't speak again, she still couldn't let go of her heart.
Sister Hui went back to the yard, and Zhou's mother happened to come in with a food box, and she was about to go down after setting the plates.
"Mom, I think your mangrove sister is very interesting, please let her come to my yard tomorrow to talk." Sister Hui said in a timely manner.
"She's just a subordinate, what's interesting, I'm afraid that we don't have the ink painting girl who can speak, or don't want her to bump into the third miss." Zhou's mother was embarrassed and replied with a smile.
Sister Hui smiled when she heard this: "Hey, don't rush, I heard that Sister Mangrove married to Gyeonggi, and I happened to read a map book beforehand, and there happened to be some descriptions of Gyeonggi on it, so I wanted Sister Mangrove to tell me if it was the same as what was said in the book." Mom asked my sister to come and visit. ”
Seeing this, Zhou's mother knew that it was perfunctory, so she had to grit her teeth and respond.
But she was thinking about how to tell Mangrove when she went back, telling her what she could say and what she couldn't.
After Sister Hui finished dinner, she immediately locked herself in the house and practiced calligraphy. But under the glow of the candle outside, he was picking up a pen and writing, as if he was writing a letter.
When the gong and drum were beaten in the house to signal rest, she blew out the candles.
But she didn't go into the back room to lie down at this time, she still sat quietly on the couch next to the bed in her usual clothes, with Qiu Ju and Moqin standing behind her, waiting for Hongyu's arrival.
"Miss three watches." Mo Qin couldn't help but remind in a whisper.
"Well, she'll come." Sister Hui nodded and whispered.
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Ju said solemnly: "She's here." ”
