Chapter Seventy-Nine: Marriage
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not accept the marriage, can there be other candidates in mind?" Yun Jinshu asked.
Chu Yongwang shook his head.
When the palace people heard this, they all cautiously avoided it, and they all knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still about to be twenty years old and had not accepted any women.
At that time, the second prince had not yet reached the crown, and he had all his sons.
Later, when the six princes and the crown, although they did not have children, he also received two concubines by his side, and now they are separated to set up their own palace, and the princess just reported good news at the end of this year and was pregnant.
According to the dignity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the appearance of this jade man, it is not like he can guard to such an old age.
The group of in the East Palace. Didn't the man climb into bed early and eat him? It doesn't make sense! Don't...... What's so hard to say? Everyone dared to guess and dare not say, but secretly, there would still be gossip.
Chu Yongwang knew how others talked about him behind his back on weekdays, and he also knew that his father and queen mother had been urging him to complete the marriage in order to stabilize the position of the East Palace, but the awkwardness in his heart lingered no matter what.
If it goes on like this, it will not work out after all.
He used to be able to rely on his young age to avoid the past.
But now that he is about to become an adult, he has no heirs, and he can't compete with the other two full-fledged royal brothers.
"Brother Prince."
Chu Yuewan called him softly.
Hearing the sound of her milk chirping, Chu Yongwang's heart finally relaxed a little, and watched her climb down Yun Jinshu's legs and walk towards him.
"Brother Prince, don't be afraid."
Chu Yue pulled his hand in the evening, "There is no imperial sister-in-law, I will accompany the prince's brother every night." ”
Chu Yongwang was a little moved.
No matter how others guess, the early moon is the clearest, in the previous life, the prince's brother had no queen, no concubines, and no heirs.
ascended to the throne celibately and became a real loner.
Although I don't know why, if the prince's brother doesn't want to get married, then Wanwan will definitely stand by his side.
"Give...... Bring some food for Yuning. ”
Chu Yongwang was inexplicably a little cramped, and hurriedly instructed others to divert his attention.
Yun Jinshu also frowned when he saw him like this.
"Okay~" Han Xiang beckoned, and brought a pot of black balls that looked unappetizing from the window, "Your Highness!" Let's go inside and eat frozen pears! ”
"Good!" The early moon responded in the evening, "Little uncle, eleventh brother, you can come too!" ”
"This ...... What the. ”
Chu Yongwang was frightened by the ugliness of the fruit.
"It's the frozen pears that Aunt Deng often eats in Zhuangzi, and I want to eat them at night, so I let Aunt Deng freeze more."
Chu Yuewan took Chu Yongwang's hand, "Brother Prince, frozen pears are very sweet, Wanwan will teach you how to eat them." ”
"Okay."
Chu Yongwang really couldn't refuse her kindness.
"And oh."
As she walked in the evening, she said, "There are also baked apples, roasted corn, sweet potato balls......
"Yuning ......" was helpless at the beginning.
Seeing his expression at the end of the first month, her eyes were crooked, and the corners of her mouth were crooked: "Brother Prince smiled!" Chu Yongwang's heart was sour, and he squatted down and hugged Chu Yuewan.
"I'll go...... Meet the people arranged by the father and queen mother. ”
He whispered, looking up at the early moon evening, "Yuning will come with me then, okay?" ”
"Okay."
The first moon night agreed.
Maybe the prince's brother will have a royal sister-in-law in this life? After all, there are already so many things that are different from previous lives.
"Okay."
Chu Yongwang looked at Yun Jinshu again, "Don't go." ”
Yun Jinshu pondered, and I didn't say I was going.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is something you have to be careful about."
He said, "There is someone other than you who doesn't seem to want you to get married. ”
Chu Yongwang and Chu Yuewan both looked at him in a daze.
Chu Yuewan: "Who?" Chu Yongwang: "He? Yun Jinshu nodded.
"Who?" Chu Yuewan asked again.
"It's your ......" Yun Jinshu was about to say, when he suddenly saw Chu Yongwang shaking his head at him, and immediately changed his words, "The frozen pears are ready to melt in the evening!" Do you smell the fragrance? ”
"Frozen pears are in the house, how can the fragrance come out?" I don't understand the early moon.
"Yes, yes, let's go in and eat."
Yun Jinshu took two quick steps to pick him up from Chu Yongwang and ran into the house.
…… The palace and the palace are full of lights, all preparing for the arrival of the Spring Festival.
In order to prevent the Chinese New Year's Eve festival dance from being rusty, the early moon night usually makes comparisons in the Jiaofang Hall, and lies on the bed before going to bed and after lying on the bed with his arms and legs dangling.
When I was a child, Chu Yongwang came early.
"You're finally relenting."
Empress Yun was relieved, "These Japanese palaces are all nagging by your father, and you dream of choosing the crown princess for you." ”
"The queen mother is tired."
At the beginning, Yongwang was ashamed.
He is dressed in a costume today, and he is even more handsome and handsome in the wind, with sideburns, and his delicate and delicate face on weekdays also looks a little handsome.
Queen Yun took care of her makeup, got up and looked at her eldest son with happy eyes, and her satisfaction was beyond words.
"It deserves to be the hope of this palace."
She sighed with emotion and brushed Chu Yongwang's already smooth placket.
Chu Yuewan was still grooming, but he didn't look in the mirror well, and kept looking up at the prince's brother.
"Yuning?" Chu Yongwang noticed that she was looking at herself, "Is there anything wrong with my dress?" Chu Yuewan shook her head: "The prince's brother is beautiful." ”
Chu Yongwang asked again: "'Beautiful'?" ”
"Rich God Handsome!" The early moon raised his hands and praised, "Unparalleled in the world!" ”
"It's so poor to learn from people."
Empress Yun came over and nodded her little head, "Hurry up and get dressed, don't let your father wait." ”
The early moon was in a hurry to look in the mirror honestly.
Several palace maids went into battle together and quickly helped her get dressed.
The apricot-yellow bicarat is embroidered with a gold-threaded parrot, covered with a plain white fox fur, and a mink tiger head hat on the head, and the fur on both sides hangs down to protect a pair of small ears, making the face round and kneadable.
It's a pity that the queen, the crown prince, mother and son, who can't lift their hands and shoulders on weekdays, are now a little difficult to walk with a round little moon.
In the end, Deng Shi, a nurse who was born as a farmer, carried the early moon late and hung it on her arm, which was easy.
"We're so tired from practicing late and late, why haven't we lost any weight?" Queen Yun smiled and poked at her little face.
"Skinny."
The early moon was not convinced.
"Where's the skinny?" Chu Yuewan stretched out her little arm and pulled open her sleeves with difficulty, revealing two silver bracelets.
Thankfully, the bracelets, which are pulled out once a year, will no longer get stuck in the slits of the flesh.
…… Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.
The Frost Drinking Pavilion in the Imperial Garden is on a small sandbank with a pleasant scenery on the shore of the lake.
At this time, sitting in it, you can just take in the snow-covered lake, the covered bridge, and the painting boat in the distance.
The garden tour arranged for the prince - the blind date was chosen here.
Before the queen and her party came, there were already red and willow girls and their maids waiting in the pavilion, which was the only vivid and vivid in this silver-white picture.
The oldest of these girls was no more than twenty years old, and the youngest was just about to reach her age.
They also know what they are doing, even if they are waiting in the cold, they have to maintain their dignified appearance.
Around the stove in the middle of the pavilion, everyone still holds the soup woman in their hands, but they are not very cold.
Ren Shu, the eldest daughter of the Zuo Xiang family, was dressed in a sky-blue cloak, leaning on the beauty in a graceful and shallow manner, and Mo Xueying, the daughter of the captain next to her, who was wearing a peacock green coat, wrote poems one by one.
Lou Huanhuan, the eldest granddaughter of the Zhaoguo Mansion, stood by the stove, kept holding the hairpin on her sideburns, and asked her maid if she was too plain.
And Jia Wuyou of the General's Mansion wore a fiery red men's dress, wearing a high ponytail like a man's heroic posture, with his arms on his chest and a calm and cold face.
There are also several daughters of the Shangshu family gathered together and whispered about the new products of the Beijing Rouge Shop.
These girls are all the treasures of the stars holding the moon in their own mansions, but they were appointed by the emperor and the queen mother to let the prince pass the purpose.
The future queen may be among them.
In addition to a few young ladies, there are also some concubines with different styles and outstanding appearances among the people they serve, which are prepared to enrich the East Palace.
"Sister Mo, Sister Shu."
Lou Huanhuan was too bored to stay by himself, so he insisted on coming between Ren Shu and Mo Xueying, "You have been in Lanzhiyuan for a long time, but you have all met His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" "This Zhaoguo Gong's Lou Huanhuan has just turned fifteen, because the old lady of the Guogong Mansion is reluctant to give up his granddaughter, and he has never entered the Jingwei Academy to study, so he has never seen Chu Yongwang.
