Chapter 98: Refusal
Listening to the girl's calm explanation of the origin of the name, the heart of the eldest princess of Yongping seemed to be lightly stung by a naughty bee.
It is said that autumn is bleak, but Miss Feng's father picked out words from this poem to name his daughter. In a father's heart, when his daughter arrives, it is the best scenery of the year.
It must be a father who loves his daughter very much, but for the little girl in front of him, he is already a "father".
"Miss Feng was born in autumn?"
Feng Cheng nodded: "The courtier's girl is in late autumn." ”
This is also the origin of her residence in the late autumn residence.
"Late autumn." The eldest princess of Yongping thought of her daughter and muttered, "Yingyue was born in mid-autumn. ”
Feng Cheng moved his lips and did not open his mouth to persuade.
For a mother who has lost her only daughter, these comforts pale in comparison.
"Miss Feng is fifteen years old this year, right?"
"Yes."
"It's as big as the moon." The eldest princess of Yongping looked at the snow-skinned girl, as if she saw Jilu's daughter.
If Yingyue grows to the age of fifteen, she will be as good-looking as Miss Feng, right?
The eldest princess of Yongping came up with a god for a while.
Feng Cheng sat quietly and did not disturb the other party.
Cuigu, who was guarding outside the pavilion, looked in through the light veil hanging from the corner of the pavilion, and quietly wiped the corners of her sour eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, His Royal Highness seems to have a spirit when he gets along with Miss Feng.
The eldest princess of Yongping was out of her mind for a long time, so long that the wind blew the light veil and impatiently blew her skirt, and then she came back to her senses.
The girl on the opposite side had a calm brow, neither impatient nor nervous.
As if it were supposed to be.
The eldest princess of Yongping blurted out: "Miss Feng is willing to be my daughter-in-law?" ”
Feng Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the eldest princess of Yongping and forgot to speak for a while.
The eldest princess of Yongping was also stunned.
She didn't understand why she had just asked that sentence, obviously when she invited Miss Feng over, she just listened to the irritating cicada song and wanted to see this little girl.
Yingyue has a lively temperament, and in the hot summer, he will secretly climb the tree to catch it.
She actually knew, but she didn't want to restrain her daughter too much.
In her opinion, when she was young, she was happy, and when she grew up, she had to face the ups and downs of life, and she could draw courage and strength from these beautiful memories.
At that time, how could she have thought that her daughter would never grow up.
After asking this, the eldest princess of Yongping was actually a little hesitant.
She recognized Miss Feng as her righteous daughter in order to satisfy her selfishness of having a daughter again, would Yingyue blame her?
It seems to be a little impulsive.
When the girl on the other side was silent, this thought flashed through the heart of the eldest princess of Yongping.
And Feng Cheng was stunned for a while because he was too surprised, and finally came back to his senses.
"The courtiers are grateful for Your Highness's kindness." She got up and blessed the eldest princess of Yongping, "It's just that such a major matter can't be decided, and it needs to be discussed with the family." ”
She paused for a moment, but still said calmly: "It also depends on my mother's thoughts." ”
If recognizing the eldest princess Yongping as her stepmother would make her mother uneasy, then she would not want to do so.
There are countless people in the world who are nobler than their mothers, powerful and capable, but no matter how good others are, they are not the woman who hugged her in swaddling clothes and listened to her smile when her father chanted "A good year is a good time, the most orange, yellow, orange and green".
After listening to Feng Cheng's answer, the eldest princess of Yongping breathed a sigh of relief and regretted a little.
She couldn't sort out her complicated feelings for a while, and said apologetically: "Such a big thing really shouldn't be said casually, it's because the palace is not thoughtful." ”
Feng Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
It is enough to be able to treat the eldest princess of Yongping with a different eye so that she will not walk on thin ice at home, as for the mind of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, she does not.
"In the hot summer, what does Miss Feng usually do at home?"
This kind of topic is much easier for Feng Cheng.
She replied with a smile: "I occasionally go out to play, and when I am at home, I just pass the time, and recently I like to watch small fish climb the trees to catch them." ”
The eldest princess of Yongping's heart moved slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Will Miss Feng catch it?" ”
"I will catch it, but I can't let my mother know."
The eldest princess of Yongping laughed.
Cuigu heard the laughter floating from the pavilion and silently wiped the corners of her eyes.
The eldest princess of Yongping left Feng Cheng to eat refreshments and fruits, and ordered Cuigu to personally send people to the carriage.
When the carriage was about to move, Cui Gu shouted, "Miss Feng." ”
The curtains of the car were raised, revealing a pretty face.
"Auntie, is there anything else?"
"Thank you so much for today."
Feng Cheng was puzzled and quietly looked at the female officer outside the car.
"Your Highness hasn't been so happy for a long time, maybe I'll invite Miss Feng to play in a few days."
Feng Cheng smiled: "Aunt is polite, it is my honor to make His Highness happy." ”
Cui Gu watched the carriage go away, and then went back to report.
The eldest princess of Yongping was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Just now, the palace wanted to recognize Miss Feng as a righteous daughter. ”
Cui Gu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's a good thing, Miss Feng is quiet and well-behaved—"
She politely declined.
This time, Cuigu was really stunned: "Miss Feng is unwilling?" ”
At this moment, she was only shocked, and even the dissatisfaction of His Highness being rejected by no one in her heart was born.
Miss Feng actually refused to be the righteous daughter of Her Royal Highness?
Not reluctant, but she was worried about her mother. Probably because she was afraid that if she became the righteous daughter of this palace, her mother would suffer from gains and losses. The eldest princess of Yongping smiled.
"Your Highness, don't be angry, Miss Feng is still young and ignorant-"
The eldest princess of Yongping lightly interrupted Cuigu's words: "No, this palace thinks she is a good child even more." ”
Think about it, if Yingyue recognized someone else as her stepmother without telling her, she would be unhappy.
"Miss Feng was also born in autumn, one month younger than Yingyue......" Princess Yongping muttered, got up and left the peony garden.
The next day became hotter and hotter, as if a steamer enveloped the capital.
Feng Cheng stayed in the late autumn residence all day, and every three or five days, the carriage from the eldest princess's mansion would come to pick her up to play.
Mrs. Niu looked at it in her eyes and no longer restrained her granddaughter who went out from time to time.
Before you know it, most of July has passed.
On this day, Feng Cheng went to the Qingxin Teahouse and listened to Qian Sanyu's news.
"Sit." Feng Cheng pointed to the chair opposite.
Qian Sangui sat down with a smile on his face.
"Tell me what's the news." Feng Cheng poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.
Qian San drank the herbal tea and said busily: "The little one recently found that there was a person who was very close to his uncle, and he felt that something was abnormal, so he came to tell you." ”
"What anomaly?"
"Last month, my uncle drank with that man, and the man was not very polite to my uncle, but just a few days ago, he suddenly got thoughtful and called my uncle to drink almost every day. The little one pondered that there was nothing to make for his uncle, and there were still people who were courteous, there must be something wrong with this, so he hurried to report to the eldest girl. ”
