262. Marriage of the Crown Princess
"You! Don't hurry up and thank the prince for his kindness! At this time, Su Junchu was really anxious, and shouted at Xiao Rou.
He was afraid that his younger sister, who had been favored since childhood, would have a seizure regardless of the occasion, and it would be a big trouble.
Hearing her brother's roar, Xiao Rou woke up a little, and quickly wiped her tears and said to the prince, "Thank you for the prince's reward." ”
The prince looked at Xiao Rou's pitiful face whose tears had not dried, and his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly felt sorry for this scholar who looked thin and fragile for no reason.
Since returning from the palace, Xiao Rou said to Meng Niannian that she swore never to go to that place again.
Su Junchu, who was made big by the two girls laughing and crying in the academy that day, and also said to Nian Nian, vowing never to do such a stupid thing again.
Meng Niannian only stayed in Xiangfu with Xiaorou every day, playing the game of appreciating flowers and tasting the moon, playing chess and chanting poetry, and the days were boring, and a year passed in a blink of an eye.
When the court came back on this day, Su Pincheng was happy, muttered to his wife for a long time, and sent someone to call the young lady.
Xiao Rou walked into her parents' room and saw that her parents were beaming. She asked, "Father, mother, what are you happy about?" Look, you're both happy. ”
"Rou'er." Mrs. Su looked at her daughter, who was already sixteen years old and became more and more beautiful, and couldn't suppress her joyful tone and said: "It's your blessing, today in the court, the emperor has given you and the crown prince to marry, and you will soon become the crown princess that everyone in the world envies." ”
"What?" Su Xiaorou was stunned, she suddenly remembered the incident that happened in the Royal Academy a year ago, the disgusting third prince.
There is also the crown prince, although she is not so annoying, but as long as she thinks of the palace, she still has an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
She hurriedly said: "Dad, mother, I don't marry the prince, I won't go to the palace!" ”
Su Pincheng and Mrs. Su couldn't help but wonder when they saw their daughter like this.
Mrs. Su said eagerly: "Good girl, this is a blessing that many people can't imagine." I heard your father say just now that the daughters of Prince Cheng and Wu Shangshu are also in the list, and the emperor ordered someone to measure the birthdays of several of you, and only you and the prince are the most compatible and the most husband and wife. If you marry the crown prince, you will be the logical queen in the future, what are you not satisfied with? ”
Su Pincheng followed his wife's words and said: "Since you were a child, your mother and I have raised you to read poetry and books, and practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard, isn't it just so that one day you will grow up and be able to match our family with your own talent and family background?" Now that the Su family has received the grace of the emperor, you are fortunate to be the crown princess of ten thousand miles, and our Su family will definitely be beautiful in the future. ”
"I don't want to be a queen! Whoever loves to marry marries! Anyway, I don't marry the royal guy! Xiao Rou angrily dropped this sentence, turned around and ran out of the door.
The remaining Prime Minister Su and his wife looked at each other in the house, wondering how this big happy event had become a dynamite bag when it came to their beautiful girl.
After a while, Meng Niannian naturally knew about the emperor's marriage to Xiaorou, and couldn't help but joke: "The little girl sees the future crown princess." ”
"Go and go, people are in a hurry, and you still laugh at people." Xiao Rou said angrily.
Nian Nian still wanted to joke with her, but when she saw Xiaorou's troubled appearance, she couldn't bear to talk anymore.
She remembered that she saw the prince in the academy that day, and he was also personable and awe-inspiring, so she comforted Xiaorou and said: "Actually, the prince is also good, he was quite reasonable that day, and he rewarded you with two silver taels, if the emperor gave you a marriage to the third prince, it would be really sad." ”
"Don't mention the events of that day, should I thank him for the silver taels? I was annoyed to death in the palace that day, and you also mentioned the third prince of Laipi, if you let me marry the third prince, then I will die headfirst. Xiao Rouxing's eyes widened and she said angrily.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not like you're going to marry into the palace tomorrow. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's find a way slowly. Let's see if the pomegranate tree we planted that day sprouted. Nian Nian hurriedly said, pulling Xiaorou towards the garden.
Despite Xiao Rou's reluctance, the emperor's decree for marriage, as well as the various gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk satin of the reward, arrived at Su Mansion three days later. And the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month after the third month, this auspicious day of the zodiac is the wedding day of the prince......
Since receiving the decree of marriage, Su Mansion has been busy.
The prime minister's house married a daughter, and she married to the palace as a princess, of course, she can't be treated idlely.
Three months is neither long nor short, and there are still so many things to prepare and do, and no one is idle in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is Nian Nian and Su Xiaorou herself.
When Xiao Rou heard the news of the marriage, her temper was uncertain.
She has cried and made trouble, and she has also used her tried-and-true killer trick - being coquettish in front of her parents.
But her parents, who have been obedient to her since she was a child, resolutely did not give in to this matter. Of course, there is no way to give in, the other party is the emperor, can you give the emperor a divorce? Unless you're really crazy, don't die.
Prime Minister Su and his wife couldn't understand why their daughter, who had been well-behaved and obedient since childhood, was so stubborn this time?
Besides, the prince's diligence and excellence are also obvious to all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and his daughter is not even willing to marry such a person, which is really incomprehensible.
They only thought that they might have spoiled this daughter too much since she was a child, and the daughter loved her family and was unwilling to leave her parents.
Therefore, I can only let Nian Nian and her son persuade Xiaorou more when they are free, the girl will have to leave her mother's family to marry sooner or later, and the prince is so good, if you marry in the past, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and you will understand the hard work of your parents in the future.
The days passed day by day, and Xiaorou became more and more depressed, Meng Niannian looked at it in her eyes and was anxious.
She thought once: Ancient women are still pitiful, marriage is the order of parents, the words of matchmakers. There is no such thing as free love, or cohabitation and trial marriage. Even Xiaorou, the dignified daughter of the house, is so pampered by her parents on weekdays, and now her parents don't take into account her wishes at all, so they decide that her marriage can be said to be the happiness of her life?
Niannian and Xiaorou's relationship has always been like sisters, seeing that Xiaorou is getting thinner, she really wants to help Xiaorou, but she doesn't know where to start.
Another night, after falling asleep with Xiao Rou, thinking that in a while, Xiao Rou will marry into the palace, and the two of them don't know when they will see each other again, and they will never be able to get along day and night like now. Meng Niannian couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate, got up and subconsciously walked towards the lake.
The lakeside is still breezy and the scenery is unique. But Niannian's mood was no longer as relaxed as before, looking at the leisurely lake, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Niannian, is that you?" A deep male voice rang out.
Nian Nian saw that there was a long figure standing by the lake.
"Third brother!" Her heart was hot.
"Why haven't you slept so late?" Su Junchu walked over, his eyes full of concern.
"What about you? Why didn't you sleep so late? Nian Nian asked rhetorically.
"I'm thinking about something, going for a walk." Su Junchu said.
"I can't sleep." Nian Nian said bluntly.
"Girl, why can't you sleep again? What about Xiaorou? Su Junchu asked.
"Third brother, do you still care about Xiaorou? You see that she is unhappy every day now, she doesn't want to marry that prince, you can't help her tell the emperor, don't get this marriage, doesn't the emperor trust you very much? Thoughts erupted suddenly, and Lianzhu brought out the words in his heart.
"Nian Nian, you think too simply, do you think that it is so easy for the emperor to change if he gave a marriage in front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? Unless it's ......" Su Junchu smiled bitterly and didn't continue.
"Unless what? Say it! "Nian Nian said urgently.
"Unless you want to cut off the whole house, then ask the emperor to withdraw from the marriage." Su Junchu looked at her and said.
"Huh?" Nian Nian was stunned, and suddenly remembered a sentence: A companion is like a tiger. She also remembered the bloody events of the previous dynasties, and was speechless for a while.
"Niannian, don't worry too much, I have accompanied the prince since I was a child, I know him very well, he is a very good person, although he is indifferent on the surface, but he is kind-hearted and talented, in fact, I am very relieved that Xiaorou will marry him." Su Junchu said again.
"However, now Xiaorou doesn't want to marry him at all, everyone has lost a lot of weight, and you don't know how sorry you feel sorry for your sister." Nian Nian pouted.
"Who said that I don't feel sorry for my sister anymore, no matter how busy I am now, don't I accompany you two every day? Two sisters, I can't bear to be wronged by you. Su Junchu looked at Nian Nian's expression, angry and funny.
"But she's not happy right now." Nian Nian continued: "If you want her to be happy, the only way is to let her not marry that prince. ”
"Okay, girl, don't worry about it so much, okay, beware that people will get old if you worry too much, I promise you that Xiaorou and the prince will be happy." Su Junchu said.
"You vouch? What kind of guarantee do you have? Do you know that once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, maybe the prince will marry ten or eight concubines in the future, how can Xiaorou stand it. Nian Nian still said stubbornly.
"Girl, of course I know better than you about the open and secret battles in the palace, but I know very well that the prince is a person, you have all seen what the third prince is like, the prince is really a rare good person, I think Xiaorou will slowly understand it in the future." Su Junchu said.
"Hmph." Nian Nian snorted quietly, thinking: I don't know what benefits that prince gave you to compliment him so much.
A gust of night wind hit, and she couldn't help but shudder.
This small detail did not escape Su Junchu's eyes, he took off his coat and draped it on Nian Nian's body: "It's late at night, I'll send you back, beware of catching a cold." ”
Meng Niannian felt that Su Junchu cared about herself, even in the open society of the modern era, she had never been so close to any boy.
Now that she has traveled to this ancient time thousands of years ago, there is such a perfect boy who is considerate and loving to herself, her face is subconsciously a little red, and she nodded slightly.
And her shy posture, in Su Junchu's eyes, is even more beautiful.
Su Junchu has been very fond of this lively and lovely distant cousin since he was a child, and now as he grows older, he seems to have an indescribable affection growing in his heart.
