Chapter 39: Choosing a Horse (I)

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the sky was bluer and the clouds were whiter, Yulin was awakened by the maids early, and the maids were chattering there one by one when they were freshened, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts. On the contrary, Yulin was very calm and let the maids dress up for herself.

Today is different from weekdays, when the maids dressed Yulin, one of the maids couldn't help but exclaim: "The princess is so beautiful." Yulin raised her head, there were already two maids carrying a large mirror forward, Yulin looked at herself in the mirror, through the light yellow gauze, you can see the phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the red shirt inside, the nine-winged phoenix on the hair has a glossy pearl in its mouth, the pearl hangs down in front of the forehead, and the face of Yulin is shiny, it seems to be a little more charming than usual, but it is dignified to stand up.

Yu Lin smiled lightly at herself in the mirror, and some of the maids around her had already exclaimed, and Yu Lin straightened the shawl on her shoulder: "Let's go." The maids responded in unison and went out with Yulin in their arms. Yulin walked towards King Wu's side, and before she could get there, she saw Lin pushing King Wu to this side.

Yulin stepped forward, King Wu had already looked at his daughter for a long time and didn't speak, and after a long time, King Wu said: "I hope my daughter can choose her sweetheart this time." ”

"Daddy, yes!" Yulin nodded to Lin, pushed King Wu out, King Wu's hand went back, and stroked Yulin's hand: "Although you are a princess, when you become someone's daughter-in-law, it is still different from being in the boudoir." ”

"Daddy, I know you're worried about your daughter, but she is never scared or complaining." Yulin's words made King Wu's face look relieved. Mo Lan, if you knew that our daughter was so well-behaved and sensible, would you regret leaving?

No, I think, you won't regret it, King Wu felt like he had been pricked by a needle in his heart, and there was such a sharp but unspeakable pain, but such pain could not be declared. Having a daughter, it's enough.

Yulin and King Wu entered the palace and went directly to see the emperor, the queen watched Yulin push King Wu to this side, and said to the queen beside her: "In a blink of an eye, Yulin is so big, and she has her own ideas." At first, I thought it was a bit funny for Yulin to do this, but these days, I think it's a funny thing. ”

The queen smiled first before speaking: "What Bixia said is very reasonable, but it's just a princess, if you really want all princesses to choose a son-in-law like this, it will inevitably cost a little too much." The emperor nodded: "You are very right. ”

The queen saw Yulin coming to her side step by step, and she had to work hard to control it in order to keep her face calm, as graceful and luxurious as usual, without losing her demeanor. King Wu's father and daughter have already come to the emperor, and before they salute, the emperor has already got up and patted King Wu's hand: "I want to congratulate my brother today, I have to choose a good son-in-law." ”

"As Brother Ji said." King Wu nodded to the emperor as a salute and said to the queen: "Sister-in-law, Yulin chooses a son-in-law today, and I am my brother, and I want to thank my sister-in-law for taking care of Yulin over the years!" ”

"Uncle is polite!" The queen had already stood up, looked at Yulin in front of her, couldn't help but clench her hand in her sleeve before letting go, and smiled at Yulin: "I also want to borrow bixia's auspicious words, I wish ......" Before the queen finished speaking, the princess of Qin had already stepped into the palace, and when she heard the footsteps, the queen stopped talking and looked at the princess of Qin who was walking towards her step by step.

The princess of Qin was dressed very dignified today, and when she came to them, the princess of Qin came to salute, but instead of kneeling and bowing, she was like a folk daughter who said Wanfu when she saw her father, and when she got up, the princess of Qin said to King Wu: "Today, Yulin chose a son-in-law, and her niece came to congratulate." ”

"You kid! If you're like Yulin, I'll be less bothered! When the emperor saw the princess of Qin, he was happy at first, but his words were a little troubled.

"Daddy, I'm very happy to live like this, doesn't Daddy like it?" The princess of Qin was slightly taller than the emperor, and at this time, she shrunk her shoulders and made a little daughterly posture that made the emperor smile, and patted her back to make her straighten her back: "Then punish you to wait here, and you are not allowed to go to see the excitement." ”

The princess of Qin Guo smiled: "Yes, my daughter obeys Bixia's will." The emperor said daxiao, and the queen also smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and the chamberlain asked Yulin to go to the place where she chose her son-in-law.

Yulin bowed again, said goodbye to her father and the emperor, and then followed the queen out. The queen and Yulin each sat on a shoulder and went to the imperial garden, and the queen said: "If you choose a son-in-law today, you will definitely choose someone who everyone will be happy with." ”

Yulin looked at the queen, and the smile on her face did not change at all: "What Niangniang said, please remember!" This is obviously not taking her words to heart, the queen is a little annoyed, at this time the shoulder stopped, Yulin walked down the shoulder, stretched out her hand to help the queen under the shoulder, the two did not say a word, but the queen knew that her nephew was already very hopeless, or rather, there was no hope.

Watching Yulin walk towards the pavilion step by step, the queen couldn't show a trace of shame among everyone, only a kind of powerlessness flowed through her heart, and there was nothing to do.

The boys got up today, freshened up, had breakfast, changed into clothes, and were greeted by the chamberlain to the imperial garden to wait. In the imperial garden in July, the lotus flowers bloom very well, and the teenagers can also see the lotus flowers, but the teenagers are almost not in the mood to appreciate the lotus.

In the end, the princess chooses a son-in-law, what is the topic? Is it a civilian, a martial or both? The wind blew, bringing a burst of lotus fragrance, Liu Jinsong's manic heart gradually calmed down, smelling the lotus fragrance, Liu Jinsong looked at the blue waters, whether it was civil or military, he was not afraid.

The chamberlain reported there: "Princess Yongle has arrived." The young men hurriedly knelt down to greet them, but they couldn't see Yulin's face, they could only hear footsteps, and watched countless pairs of shoes pass by outside the bamboo curtain, but they didn't know which pair of shoes belonged to the princess.

The chamberlain has already said: "The princess has an edict, and everyone is flat!" The young men got up at this time, and Chu Qigongzi's face was already a little pale, and he whispered to Liu Jinsong: "Marry a princess, sure enough, it is a bedside couple, and a monarch under the bed." ”

There are not many people who know this, but even so, there are still people who want to marry a princess, and the princess they marry is just a little more aggrieved in the princess's mansion, and who doesn't respect them when they come out of the mansion? Liu Jinsong knows that many people think like this, but he and they don't think the same.

Zhu Wei'an also heard Chu Qigongzi's words, and his eyes couldn't help but glance coldly, the son of a wife also has the face to run for the horse? No wonder even the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is not clear. The voice of the waiter rose again, Zhu Wei'an hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and went to the second floor with the young men to see Yulin.

The second floor is a heavy curtain, next to each curtain, there are palace maids there, the young people under the leadership of the palace maids, walked through the triple curtains, only to see a faint figure behind the curtains.

The young men were about to salute again, and the maid beside Yulin had already said, "The princess is exempt, and I ask you to come to the princess in turn and report your names and family history." As she spoke, the maid unfolded the list in her hand and pronounced the first name.

The first person to be read came to the curtain, and the maid who was still about to salute said, "You don't need to salute, just stand up!" This was to make the princess see what they looked like, and this man stood up straight again after arching, and told his name, family, and parents.

A little far away, Liu Jinsong couldn't see Yulin's face clearly, he could only see Yulin occasionally nodding, and the maid nodded under the names of these people.

It was already Chu Qigongzi's turn, Chu Qigongzi's hands were trembling, he walked up to Yulin, bowed his hand and said: "Minister, Chu Zhi, my father is Chu Su in the Hubu Langzhong, and my mother is ......."

Chu Zhi paused and said: "Biological mother Zhao, was released, stepmother Wu." After saying that, Chu Zhi's face was so red that he couldn't look at it, Yulin sighed and said, "It's good to remember my biological mother!" ”

Although Yulin's words were simple, they lifted Chu Zhi's spirits when he listened, and he bowed to Yulin before standing back.

Zhu Wei'an looked at Liu Jinsong, and couldn't help frowning when he heard Yulin's words, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only wait patiently.

I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, Liu Jinsong is zuihou one, and when he came to the gauze curtain, Liu Jinsong didn't bow to Yulin like others, but said directly: "Minister, Liu Jinsong, minister's mother......"

The maid's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and just as she wanted to drink Liu Jinsong, she saw Yulin's expression, so she continued to stand with her hands down.

"The minister's mother, Liu's family, the daughter of the former household department Shangshu Liu, has no father." After saying the three words zuihou, Liu Jinsong stood there, in front of everyone, to tell the fact that he was fatherless, which was really not easy.

Yulin didn't expect Liu Jinsong to speak out, but she was surprised, and then nodded to the maid, and the maid was busy nodding under Liu Jinsong's name. Liu Jinsong saw that Yulin didn't speak, and he didn't know whether it was disappointment or other emotions, so he just retreated to the position he was standing in.

The curtain was lifted, and out was a maid, she began to read the list in her hand, and after reading it, Fang said: "These five, the princess said that you have worked hard, please go home with the waiter." When the name was pronounced, everyone pricked up their ears, and when Liu Jinsong didn't hear his name, he was still a little disappointed, but when he heard the maid finish speaking, the disappointment was gone, but a kind of ecstasy came to his heart.

The five who were read their names could not hide their disappointment, so they had to salute Yulin and follow the chamberlain out of the palace.

The maid looked at the remaining ten people: "The princess said, please rest for a while, there are five small boats prepared over there, and you will go to the lotus garden in pairs." "Boating? This is something that the teenagers didn't expect, but since it is Yulin's meaning, it can only be.

Zhu Wei'an quickly found someone who was partnering with him, Chu Zhi stood there, Liu Jinsong saw this and stepped forward and said, "Brother Chu, why don't we be together!" Chu Zhi was overjoyed and immediately nodded in response. The two of you were both born of a woman, no wonder you are so similar! It wasn't until I got out of the pavilion and came to the boat that someone said coldly.
