Chapter 548: Marriage Proposal
Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen was safe and sound, so he felt a little relieved, and heard that Chongzhen was going to Wang Yue's house, and Princess Kunxing was also excited, she was a frequent visitor to the Wang family's garden.
Today's Wangjia Garden is becoming more and more popular, and in February this year, Wang Yue's sister-in-law Su Ziyu gave birth to a boy, and Wang Yue has a nephew. Since my uncle's family and my second grandfather's family moved to the starting point city, my aunt and uncle often came to visit the house.
Her mother, Li Xiufang, is still the Minister of Women and Children's Security, but her daily work is mainly done by a few deputy ministers, and according to Wang Yue's words, her mother should also enjoy Qingfu.
The family is harmonious, the two sons are prosperous, and the starting point city is also thriving at a visible speed, Li Xiufang wakes up every day and opens her eyes, her heart is like pouring honey, and she feels that every day is happy.
The only thing she worries about is when the stomachs of her two wives and concubines will move, but fortunately, Wang Yue finally had a room with Hexiangyuan last month, which made Li Xiufang see hope again.
"Mother, this is the best golden bird's nest that someone else brought back from Yunnan, and I brought you some supplements from the Guogong Mansion." Zhang Ziyun pointed to the things he got back from the Guogong Mansion.
"You kid, we don't have anything in the starting city, why do you need to bring it from the Guogong Mansion." Li Xiufang said this in her mouth, but she was very satisfied in her heart, her daughter-in-law is good at everything, but she has not given birth to a boy and a girl so far.
Zhang Ziyun smiled and said, "Mother, didn't you listen to Sihua?" Other places in Daming are backward than the starting point city, but all kinds of ingredients are not available in the starting point city, what is called pure natural green food.
In fact, Wang Yue refers to the comparison between Da Ming and the ingredients of another plane, and the ingredients are still good for Da Ming.
Zhang Ziyun knew that although her mother-in-law didn't say anything to her face-to-face, she knew that because she hadn't given birth to a child yet, her mother-in-law was stubborn, so she always changed her way to make her mother-in-law happy.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, and Wang Yue came back with a group of people. Chongzhen came to the starting point city in private this time, and it was not appropriate to make a big fanfare, so he didn't notify the family to do any welcoming ceremony.
"It's strange, why did the second son bring so many people back? Is this rare? Li Xiufang said. What meetings Wang Yue wants to hold are usually held at the city hall building, not at home.
Every time she heard her mother-in-law call Wang Yue's second son, Zhang Ziyun always wanted to laugh inexplicably, she stood up and said, "Mother, daughter-in-law go and have a look." ”
"Your Majesty, this is the royal garden, and the building in the middle is the main house, and it is my mother who lives there." Wang Yue took Chongzhen and others into the Wang family garden and introduced.
Chongzhen raised his eyes and looked around, nodded and said, "The environment is very good, since I am here, I just happened to see Lingtang." ”
Before Wang Yue could answer, Zhang Ziyun came out.
Seeing Chongzhen, Zhang Ziyun's eyes widened, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Courtesy Zhang Ziyun, I have seen the emperor!" ”
"Oh, you're Miss Zhang Er?" Chongzhen looked at Zhang Ziyun and asked.
"It's a concubine."
Zhang Ziyun has seen Chongzhen a few times from afar, such as the school review of the children of the nobility or other celebrations, but Chongzhen has never seen Zhang Ziyun.
Wang Yue said to Zhang Ziyun: "Let my mother come out to greet the emperor." ”
Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't do it, let's go see Lingtang together." "He put his posture very low today.
Zhang Ziyun walked in front, walked forward quickly, and when he entered the building first, he hurriedly greeted Li Xiufang and said, "Mother, hurry up and prepare to greet you, the emperor is here." ”
"Ah, the emperor is here? This......! Li Xiufang suddenly panicked and stood up and said, "Ziyun, what about the clothes for your mother's fate?" Hurry up and take it out. ”
Wang Yue once mentioned to her that on official occasions in the imperial court or when meeting the emperor, she should be dressed neatly.
Zhang Ziyun said: "Mother, you don't have to, the emperor is about to come in." ”
"Huh? How good is that? Li Xiufang muttered, and asked Zhang Ziyun again: "Then how should I greet the emperor for my mother?" ”
Zhang Ziyun instructed: "Just follow what your daughter-in-law taught you before." ”
Li Xiufang hurriedly recalled the etiquette that Zhang Ziyun had taught her before.
After a while, Wang Yue entered the building with Chongzhen and others, and Wang Yue said with a smile: "Mother, the emperor came to our house as a guest today." ”
"Courtesy Li Xiufang, I have seen the emperor." Li Xiufang bowed with the Wanfu ceremony taught by Zhang Ziyun.
"Mrs. Li is flat, so you don't have to be polite." Chongzhen smiled.
Li Xiufang, who saw the emperor for the first time, was very excited and beckoned: "Your Majesty, please sit down!" Ziyun, quickly ask someone to watch the tea. ”
After Chongzhen sat down, he said: "Mrs. Li gave birth to two good sons, and now they have become pillars of the country. ”
"The emperor praised it falsely, that's their fate." Li Xiufang said with a smile.
"I heard that Wang Aiqing also has a sister named Wang Ni, isn't she at home?" Chongzhen asked casually.
Li Xiufang said: "Go to school, now all the girls in our starting city have to go to school." ”
"Oh, it's a pity, I still want to meet this kid, but it's so unlucky." Chongzhen made a regretful statement.
"Isn't that easy?" Li Xiufang hurriedly instructed her housekeeper: "Chunmei, go to the school and pick up the young lady back, go quickly." ”
Wang Yue wanted to stop it, thinking about it, it was better not to disappoint his mother's interest, looking at his mother's meaning, as if he could see the emperor, what a great honor it was.
Looking at Chongzhen, who was chatting with his mother, Wang Yue hadn't figured out what kind of medicine Chongzhen was selling? Chongzhen is the emperor, and he is a diligent emperor, his thoughts and actions must have a political purpose, and it is impossible to be so idle.
Anyway, to be able to chat with the emperor for a few days, for Li Xiufang, who used to be a village woman, not to mention how honored.
The school is not far away, and the Wang family wants to take the eldest lady back, but the school doesn't even ask, so Wang Ni comes back quickly.
"Wang Ni has seen the emperor's uncle." Wang Ni is now eight years old, and she has been studying for two years and is more sensible, looking at Chongzhen's age, it is estimated that she will be called uncle. ”
Looking at Wang Ni, who has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks like a little beauty, Chongzhen is happy, no one has called him like this, he smiled and said: "What an uncle of the emperor!" What a well-behaved girl. Saying that, he touched his body, took off the jade pendant he was carrying, handed it to Wang Ni and said, "This is given to Qing, to keep you safe and beautiful." ”
"Don't hurry up, thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiufang said.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."
Chongzhen nodded again and again, but Princess Kunxing called softly on the side: "Wang Ni, Wang Ni." "These two are good girlfriends.
"Go ahead, go play with Kunxing." Chongzhen waved his hand.
Wang Ni ran to play with Princess Kunxing, Chongzhen turned his head to Li Xiufang and said, "Mrs. Li, my crown prince Cihong is ten years old this year, which is the same age as Ling Yan. I am very satisfied, and I want to propose marriage for the prince, I don't know what you think? ”
