Chapter 247: Love is deep and you don't know it
Since Xiao Wan has learned a lot of boudoir etiquette and read a lot of books, she is like a different person, and she is no longer willful! No more princess tempers!
Although I still love Ji Yu in my heart, I also know that 'catching up is not a deal', and 'a twisted melon is not sweet'.
But on the contrary, Ji Yu saw her 'chivalrous woman' appearance, looked at her with admiration, and often remembered her courage to teach evil young people in public, so he unconsciously nodded and praised him!
The two often meet, but every time Xiao Wan asks for some poetry and learning to paint, she doesn't mention her feelings for Ji Yu again!
The two of them often go to the Zhilan Pavilion of Qing Kite and Qiao Jie to be guests, each time the four of them either chant poems together, or chat, talking about how legend Xiao Mingyue is, even if Xiao Wan knows in her heart that Ji Yu likes Xiao Mingyue, and is no longer jealous of her sister Yue, and after a long time, it seems that Ji Yu is no longer shy away, when it comes to Xiao Mingyue, his face no longer changes, and there are no more waves in his heart, and sometimes Ji Yu strokes the qin, Qiao Jie plays with a sword, and Qing Yuan and Xiao Wan sing and dance on the side.
A few people also learned the life of a literati, the kind of bohemian hermit style!
After each end, Ji Yu would also personally send Xiao Wan back to the palace.
Qing Kite also said to Xiao Wan repeatedly: "I see that Ji Gongzi is like this to you, I'm afraid I'm starting to be moved!" You've got to take advantage of it!"
Xiao Wan and Ji Yu walked on the road together.
"Brother Ji, do you still like Sister Yue?!" Xiao Wan asked tentatively.
"Who told you I like the county lord?" Ji Yu asked in turn.
"I didn't ...... Nobody said. It's just my own guess! If you don't want to say it, forget it, just because I didn't ask!" Xiao Wan turned her head and said.
Seeing Xiao Wan turning her head sullenly, Ji Yu knew that she was angry, so she smiled slightly and said, "Silly girl!"
"I'm not a stupid girl! Even though I used to be, I'm not now! I am now in the age of peace, and there are many princes and grandsons who have come to my mother's palace to ask for marriage, and I will ...... in the future I'm afraid it's not convenient to come out and meet you in the future!" Xiao Wan lowered her head and said.
"Is the princess going to get married?!" Ji Yu asked.
"There's no suitable candidate yet, but I think there will be soon! Mother is already in Zhangluo! You're looking for someone for me!" Xiao Wan then said.
"Does the princess have a liking?" Ji Yu asked again.
Xiao Wan immediately raised her head and looked at Ji Yu, sighed lightly and said, "Yes, yes, but people may not like me anymore!" Anyway, my daughter's family is going to get married after all! Then I'll just pick someone who likes me more and I don't hate it!"
"Marriage is a big deal! How can it be child's play? Is the princess willing to put up with someone she doesn't like at all?!" Ji Yu hurriedly asked.
"Or else?" This time Xiao Wan asked rhetorically.
"You should find someone you like and like you! Live happily! Won't the emperor use you to entrap the courtiers and make you reconcile? Why do you want to wronged yourself?!" Ji Yu said to Xiao Huan.
"If you don't get married, do you want me to die in the palace for the rest of my life, or go to the nunnery to be a nun?" Xiao Wan said angrily.
"At the very least, you have to like it in your heart, and the other party really likes you!" Ji Yu said.
"I don't know about the others, anyway, I only like that one person in my life, it was him before, he is now, and it will only be him in the future! But as for whether he likes me or not, that's his business, and I can't change other people's minds! But even so, I can't just stay unmarried for the sake of him, I still have my mother to take care of, and the face of the royal family to take care of! So, don't persuade me anymore unless ......"
Xiao Wan didn't say the second half of the sentence, she knew that Ji Yu knew what she meant, even if she didn't say it, he should know,
The reason why he pretended not to understand was simply because he didn't want to understand!
As for those so-called good words and persuasions, Xiao Wan didn't want to listen to them at all!
Thinking about it and making it clear to Ji Yu like this, if you marry earlier, you won't think about him anymore, and it may be your best choice to stay in your husband's house in the future!
After speaking, he got into the carriage back to the palace, waved his hand at Ji Yu again, lowered the curtain, and the carriage drove away.
Ji Yu stood in place, thinking about Xiao Huan's words in his heart, and couldn't leave for a long time.
When Xiao Wan returned to the palace, her mother, Concubine Sun, came out to pick her up and told her: "It's all a big girl, and now you are also in the age of peace." Don't go out of the palace and go crazy again! In the past few days, many people have come to propose marriage. There is Mrs. Lu's grandson, Lu Yan, who is a year older than you, but people have already won the lift, not only the family is good, but the mother looks at the portrait, others are also a talent, and they love to read and are motivated, you can't be wrong to marry!"
Xiao Wan frowned and said, "Mother, why do you want to marry your daughter off so early? Don't you want your daughter to spend more time with you?!"
Concubine Sun smiled and said, "My silly girl, of course my mother wants to!" I can't wait to keep you by my side all the time, and my mother is even more reluctant to let you marry than anyone else! However, the current dynasty is no longer a girder! It's Chen! You and I are just concubines and princesses of the previous dynasty, Your Majesty is merciful and allows you and me to stay in the palace, but we have no backer after all! If you don't take advantage of the present to find a good husband for yourself and a backer for our mother, what will you do in the future?!"
When Xiao Wan heard this, she said angrily: "Even so, I have to really like it!" I have never even met those people, how can I marry them and stay with them for the rest of my life! In case they ...... is just a righteous gentleman on the surface, but in fact she is lustful, ugly, and short-tempered, won't that daughter have to live in dire straits for the rest of her life?!"
"No, it won't! Where is such an uncle! Look at the portraits of these princes and grandsons, all of them are good men, not as you say, besides, take advantage of the present, you are friendly with the county lord, and Your Majesty treats you like a sister, if you don't plan for your future, what if you can't find a better one in the future?!" Concubine Sun said.
"Even so, it's a big deal for me to be a Daogu! I don't want to marry someone just by finding me!" Xiao Wan said angrily.
"Nonsense! How can there be a daughter who has not left the cabinet who is willing to be a Taoist aunt! Even if you don't plan for yourself, you should think about your mother! When the first emperor was there, my mother was angry with Queen Youlan, and finally had you, I thought I had hope. I didn't expect you to think like this now, but what should you tell your mother to do! It's better to hit your head and die!" As she spoke, Concubine Sun cried and cried to hit the stone pillar.
When the palace maids Xiaorui and Xiaoqing saw it, they hurriedly grabbed Concubine Sun and persuaded them left and right to stop them.
Xiao Wan saw her mother like this, although she was reluctant in her heart, but after all, her body was skinned and her parents were affected.
My father is long gone, and my mother single-handedly pulled me up. I couldn't be sorry for my mother, so I had to agree!
"That's it! Mother doesn't have to hit the pillar either! Among the sons that Hengzhu's mother likes, I will choose the one I don't hate to marry!" Xiao Wan said.
Concubine Sun's trick of bitter meat calculation has seen the effect.
Hurriedly showed a smiling face, then took those calligraphy and paintings, handed them to Xiao Huan's girl Xiaorui, and instructed: "Take these portraits of the prince and grandson, be sure to ask the princess to look at each other one by one, and whichever one you like, come and tell me!"
Xiaorui took the portraits and replied, "Yes! Concubine Niang!"
Xiao Wan returned to her room and lay on the bed sullenly.
Xiao Rui put the portrait on the table and asked Xiao Huan: "Princess, the concubine told the slave maid, 'Be sure to let the princess look at the princes and sons on these portraits one by one'! What if there is a princess who likes Ruyi Langjun here? "
"Impossible! My wishful husband has already been found! But he doesn't like me!" Xiao Wan sighed lightly, and then said.
"The Ruyi Langjun that Miss is talking about is the person that Miss often goes out of the palace to see?" Xiaorui asked.
"Yes! But that's a thing of the past! Me and him are over! No! I think it never started! People don't have me in their hearts at all. It's just that I'm 'shaving my head and picking my head hot'!" Xiao Wan said dejectedly.
"Didn't the princess ask the man?" Xiaorui said.
"Yes! I threw away my princess's face for him!" Xiao Wan said.
"Well, that guy is excessive! I just don't know what to do! There are no beads in the eyes!" Xiao Rui complained for Xiao Huan.
Xiao Wan couldn't help frowning when she saw that Ji Yu was counted down like this, and said to Xiaorui: "Okay! Don't scold him anymore! He's not good though! Even if it's a big badass! But I'm only allowed to scold him!"
"Yes, Princess. But these portraits ...... Do you still want to watch it?!, or do you want to put it there and watch it tomorrow? Xiaorui asked.
"Why don't you do it for me!" Xiao Wan said.
"Huh? Slaves don't dare!" Xiaorui lowered her head and said.
"What would you not dare? You can take a look at it for me, pick out everyone's shortcomings, and then try your best to magnify their shortcomings, isn't it okay?!" Xiao Wan said with a smile.
"But in this case, if the concubine Niangniang knows, she will punish the slave and maid heavily!" Xiaorui said worriedly.
"Don't worry! If you don't say it, I won't say it. No one will know!" Xiao Wan said.
……
Ji Yu returned to his residence, but he always remembered what Xiao Wan said to him when he returned to the palace.
Therefore, no matter what you do, you will be restless.
When drinking tea, I remembered Xiao Huan's words, and swallowed a mouthful of hot tea, almost burning my throat; When I write, when I think of Xiao Huan, I will also be distracted and write the words off; When I play the piano, I will also think of Xiao Huan, which disturbs the sound of the piano......
Even when I went to bed, I thought of Xiao Huan's words, and I was restless, and I couldn't fall asleep over and over.
"Is she really going to get married? No, it won't! She must be lying to me!"
"But when she said these words, her expression was very serious, very serious, and it didn't look like she was joking!"
And so, repeatedly.
And the news that Xiao Wan was going to recruit Ma Ye soon caused a sensation throughout Jiankang.
Although Xiao Wan is the princess of the previous dynasty, she is deeply loved by Chen Xian and almost regarded her as her own sister. Coupled with Xiao Wansheng's handsomeness, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in Jiankang City, who all want to climb this marriage and become the emperor's brother-in-law.
Xiao Mingyue was playing chess with Chen Xian in the Qinzheng Palace.
After listening to the report from Gonggong Zhao, he said, 'The people who came to the palace to ask for relatives have already stepped on the threshold of Concubine Sun's Sanssouci Palace! I'm looking for someone to fix it!"
"What an exaggeration! These people are too ...... It's a little tougher!" Amber sighed from the sidelines.
"Princess-in-law is going to recruit Ma Ye? When, how do I not know?!" Xiao Mingyue asked Chen Xian while holding the chess pieces that were about to fall.
"No wonder you don't know, the widow also heard about it yesterday. It was Concubine Sun who was alone. said that Huan'er has grown up, and she should find a good home!" Chen Xian said.
"How so? Doesn't the concubine know that Wan'er has someone she likes!? Xiao Mingyue muttered.
Chen Xian looked at the absent-minded Xiao Mingyue and said with a smile: "The last game was lost by the widow, but if you put this chess piece here, then the widow will win this game!"
Then Xiao Mingyue didn't have time to think about it, so she really put it there.
"Your defeat is decided! You can't be absent-minded when playing chess, otherwise the widow will punish you for making osmanthus cakes for the widow every day next time!" Chen Xian said with a smile.
Xiao Mingyue looked at Chen Xian and explained: "Your Majesty, you should also know that what he likes is Ji Yu!" Speaking of which, that Ji Gongzi, Your Majesty has also seen it twice!"
Chen Xian thought for a moment and said, "Ji Yu?! It's the one you met last time you were injured and the widow took you to the hospital! And one more time...... It seems that at the lantern festival, we also set off fireworks together."
"Your Majesty is exactly what he said. He's the sweetheart of Wan'er!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"That Ji Gongzi is indeed 'like Pan An', but in the eyes of the widow, he seems to have no love for Wan'er!" Chen Xian said.
"But Huan'er is infatuated with him! He has changed a lot for him! Even if Ji Gongzi didn't have a male or female meaning for Wan'er before, the two of them were often together during this set of times, chanting poems against each other, playing the piano and painting, and they should always have some feelings. I don't believe Ji Yu doesn't have any feelings for Huan'er yet!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Yue'er, you have to know. There is nothing you and I can do about this, the so-called 'untie the bell must also tie the bell'. You have to admit that Ji Yu himself likes Huan'er in his heart!"
