Chapter 87: The Eldest Princess's Narrative
On weekdays, she listened to her mother's words in the house, but when she said this in front of others, she couldn't help but blush, "Mother." ”
"Look, I haven't said anything yet, I know that I'm coquettish." Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen Xuan, who was quite embarrassed, with a smile, and said jokingly.
The Zhao family is also an enlightened person, not to mention that the boys of the Zhongyi General's Mansion are all extraordinary in martial arts, Chen Xuan, a girl, can also strengthen her body if she learns a little, and if she can defend herself in case, it is not bad to know some fists and feet. So after listening to Mrs. Chen's words, she praised Chen Xuan a few times.
Chen Xuan responded shyly, accompanied Zhao for a while, and after a while, he began to fidget and glance out of the door from time to time. Zhao saw what she meant, so he said, "It's boring for Miss Xuan to sit here, why don't you go to Jiaxi Garden to find a game one by one, you two little girls happen to be talking in one place." ”
Thinking that Xu Jiayi would be leaving in a few days, the smile on Zhao's face also dispersed a little, and he waved his hand and reluctantly held back the smile, "Yiyi is going to get married soon, and if you want to meet again in the future, it won't be so easy." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyelids jumped, and after answering, she respectfully withdrew from the flower hall, and after leaving the courtyard, she ran to Jiaxi Garden in a hurry.
It's just that unfortunately, Xu Jiayi was not in the house when she arrived, but the maids in Jiaxi Garden knew that this girl was good friends with their own girl, and they respectfully welcomed people to the house and sat down, and then sent someone to Wan'an Hall to find Xu Jiayi. Before Xu Jiayi, who got the news, could say anything, Mrs. Su hurriedly "drove" Xu Jiayi back when she heard it, and let the two sisters speak.
Chen Xuan saw that Xu Jiayi was back, so she hurriedly stood up and walked to Xu Jiayi's side and took her hand and walked into the house, and the moment she held Xu Jiayi's hand, she couldn't help but say out loud, "Where have you been, why are your hands so cold?" ”
"It's okay, my hands are so cold, and you don't keep on the ground." Xu Jiayi smiled and sat next to Chen Xuan at the table, "Why are you here?" ”
"Naturally, I'm worried about you. I wanted to come earlier, but my mother said that it was not appropriate for us to come at that time, so we had to wait until now. Chen Xuan frowned a little helplessly, and asked the question that had been bothering him for several days, "Do you really want to marry that Chu Changfeng?" ”
Xu Jiayi knew that Chen Xuan was a straightforward and simple-minded person. I have never liked to chew words, and I have to say a few words vaguely about things that can be said in one sentence. So when facing her, he always speaks straightforwardly.
"There's nothing bad about this marriage, in the eyes of outsiders, how much shit luck did I have to marry Chu Shizi." Xu Jiayi blinked her eyes and said jokingly, "Besides, the holy decree has already been issued, is it possible that I still have to resist the decree and disrespect it?" ”
"Can't ......" Chen Xuan, who was still angry, heard this, her lips squirmed for a long time, and finally pouted in frustration, muttering, "People get married with three media and six hires, how come there is nothing to you......"
Looking at Chen Xuan's resentful expression, Xu Jiayi's heart couldn't help but warm, and she took her hand and smiled, "But do other people have the emperor's decree to give marriage?" This is a unique treatment that only princesses and county lords can enjoy. ”
"That's ...... too"
"By the way, I can help you with any problems."
"Speaking of this, there is really one thing," Xu Jiayi thought about it, if she said that there was no, it would definitely make Chen Xuan unhappy, so she thought of a problem that bothered her and came out to make up the number, "I have never been to the border gate, and I don't know what the situation is over there, and I don't know what I need to bring with me." The people from your general's palace often go over there, so you should know about this, can you please make a list of them? ”
Chen Xuan liked Xu Jiayi's temperament, and after listening to what Xu Jiayi said, she thought about it for a while and said out loud, "Don't worry, this matter is on me, in two days...... No, I'll send you something tomorrow. ”
"It's not for you to send something, just for you to help make a list......" Xu Jiayi was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly corrected. Who knew that Chen Xuan waved his hand, "What's this, you don't know these things, I will send them to you when the time comes, you just have to take it." ”
"No, time is urgent, I'll go back and tidy up now, and I'll send it over tomorrow." Saying that, Chen Xuan didn't have the heart to sit down anymore, and after sending someone to talk to Mrs. Chen, he went back to General Zhongyi's Mansion first, leaving Xu Jiayi, who was helpless to persuade on the side.
Seeing that her daughters had already left, Mrs. Chen simply got up and said goodbye and left.
Chen Xuan and the others didn't leave for long, Xu Jiayi received a post from the eldest princess's mansion, inviting her to go to the eldest princess the next day. In the past, the eldest princess often gave her posts, so Xu Jiayi was not surprised, and took a carriage to the princess's mansion the next day after packing up.
When Xu Jiayi arrived, she saw the eldest princess standing on the stone bridge to feed the fish, and as soon as the fish food entered the water, many fish swam over to grab food, causing a splash. The eldest princess seemed to be in a good mood, and talked to the maidservants around her from time to time.
The maidservant who led her over turned sideways slightly, and whispered, "Please wait here for a while, and the slave maid will go and say hello to the eldest princess first." ”
"I'm tired." Xu Jiayi bowed her head slightly, spoke sincerely, and then saw the maid return the salute and moved to the eldest princess. Xu Jiayi stood on the edge of the stone bridge and couldn't hear what they were talking about, she could only see the maidservant girl saluting and could see how the eldest princess glanced at her.
Xu Jiayi wanted to wait for the eldest princess to summon her, but the eldest princess handed the fish food in her hand to the maidservant behind her, and walked to her by herself.
Seeing the eldest princess approaching, Xu Jiayi was busy blessing her body, and saluted respectfully, "Say hello to the eldest princess." ”
"You've been here so many times, why are you still so outside." Before Xu Jiayi could bend her knees, she was already helped up by the eldest princess, and she smiled when she heard the words and said, "It's not strange that many people are polite. ”
"I didn't have anything else to do when I called you today, but I heard that the emperor gave you a marriage, and I thought that it would not be common in the future, so I called you over to tell you that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as the palace can help, you can come to the palace."
"Thank you, eldest princess." Xu Jiayi knew the temperament of the eldest princess, so she didn't say anything polite, but only thanked her sincerely. Regardless of whether the eldest princess will really help her or not, this sentence is enough.
"Actually, on the day the emperor wants to give you a wedding, the palace is also in the imperial study." The eldest princess took Xu Jiayi's hand and walked all the way back to the flower hall from the stone bridge, and after sitting on the main seat, she raised her hand slightly and motioned for Xu Jiayi to sit down as well, and suddenly said this.
There was a maid in the flower hall who came to serve refreshments, and a maid moved an embroidery pier to put next to the eldest princess, Xu Jiayi thanked her, and only sat on her side for a third of the embroidery pier, and then looked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess seems to be strict, but in fact she is the most kind.
If you meet at any banquet, as long as you abide by your duty every day, she will mention anything that should be mentioned, and it is best to get along. Of course, if Xiao Xue'er acted like that, the eldest princess always didn't like to contact them and chose to ignore them. And this ignorance is precisely the deepest revenge for those who think of themselves as high.
At this point, Xu Jiayi may have inherited the temperament of the eldest princess.
Seeing that Xu Jiayi was a little stunned, the eldest princess's eyes flashed, "Do you blame me for not speaking for you?" ”
"The folk girl doesn't dare," Xu Jiayi came back to her senses when she heard the voice of the eldest princess, and hurriedly explained, "The folk girl is just a little surprised, and the eldest princess will tell the folk girl about it......"
After all, if the eldest princess doesn't tell the matter herself, others won't be able to find out. Xu Jiayi paused, and said with a serious expression, "The emperor wants to give the people's daughter a marriage, which is a blessing for the people's daughter." The eldest princess can tell the folk girl frankly about this, it is already the special preference of the folk daughter, and the folk girl is too late to thank the eldest princess, so how can she blame the eldest princess? ”
"You've figured it out, so it's the best." The eldest princess nodded, took Xu Jiayi's hand and patted it lightly, "If you want to marry to the Anping Marquis Mansion, the next palace can't help much, but I can talk to you about the Anping Marquis Mansion." ”
The eldest princess told the story of the Anping Marquis Mansion that she knew.
The old lady of the Marquis of Anping was originally fighting in the south and north with the emperor. It can be said that when the emperor was alive, he was able to keep the country safe and secure, and even faintly able to suppress neighboring countries, and the old lady Chu made great contributions. Later, after the emperor returned to Yanjing City and devoted himself to politics, the old lady Chu took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the town to guard the border pass. The first emperor also specially gave the title of Marquis of Anping to the old lady Chu and personally sent him out of the city.
After the death of the first emperor, the current emperor also relied extremely heavily on the Anping Marquis Mansion. It's just a pity that after Old Lady Chu got under his knees, Chu Changfeng was such a child, and he was still a child who could go to the battlefield with a sword and no eyes at any time, if there was a case, then the Chu family would be cut off from the incense.
Although the eldest princess spoke very carefully, Xu Jiayi listened very carefully.
Because she knew that the eldest princess was willing to say to her that it was an elder's love for her junior, her love and liking, and perhaps more because of guilt.
Whenever the eldest princess felt that her mouth was dry, Xu Jiayi handed over a cup of tea in a timely manner, and the eldest princess took two sips to moisten her throat and continued to explain.
By the time the eldest princess finished speaking, almost an hour had passed. Not only did Xu Jiayi's brain swell and be a little vague when she heard it, but even the eldest princess was a little tired when she said it.
