Chapter 9: The Handle

"By the way, Qing'er, I have recently helped you pay attention to a lot of young talents in the capital, the portrait is in my room, you can pick it up with me later."

Wen said while serving his daughter a bowl of crucian carp soup, the soup is rich in color and fragrant, and you can tell that it has been stewed for a long time at a glance.

After hearing this, Tang Yanqing's face was flushed, and he lowered his head shyly: "Mother, I still want to accompany you for another two years!" ”

Seeing his daughter's cheeks flushed and her voice shy, Wen suddenly guessed seven or eight points in her heart, and said with a smile: "If you stay for another two years, it will be nineteen, Qing'er will tell her mother honestly, are you interested in someone?" Which son is it, tell your mother quickly. ”

Tang Yanqing's head lowered when he heard this, and he was reserved for a while before he said softly: "It's King Liang." ”

Today's emperor has five adult princes, the eldest prince Zhao Jingyi, titled King Min, smart and gentle since childhood, stocky and kind, quite loved by the emperor, but unfortunately at the age of 20 due to hunting injuries, and then suddenly contracted a vicious disease that led to an untimely death, Princess Min was martyred because she couldn't stand the blow, the emperor was sad, and posthumously crowned King Min as the crown prince and buried in the imperial mausoleum.

The second prince Zhao Jinghao is named King Kang, the martial arts are superior and invincible, but unfortunately there is a brute force, but it is not the material for governing the country and the country, the third prince Zhao Jingwen, named King Liang, personable, gentle and elegant, quite famous in the hearts of the people, and is also the most popular among the five princes, the fourth prince Zhao Jingxiu, named King Rui, talented, dignified, but unfortunately his mother is just a palace maid, not very popular with the emperor, the fifth prince Zhao Jingxuan, fourteen years old, has not yet been crowned king, but the biological mother Rong Guifei is the emperor's most favored concubine at present, The future of creation is not yet known.

Zhang Guifei, the mother of the third prince, is the concubine of the Yasukuni Mansion, and the power of the maternal family has been intertwined in recent years, which should not be underestimated, and it is very likely that she will inherit the throne in the future.

Wen was stunned when he first heard King Liang, and then reacted with a look of great joy, if Qing'er marries King Liang, she will be Princess Liang in the future, if King Liang really succeeds to the throne in the end, then Qing'er will not be the queen?

Thinking that the Wen family could still produce a queen, Wen's face burst into laughter: "Mother's Qing'er is really capable, even King Liang has taken it." Then he said earnestly, "But you have to pay attention to King Liang's heart, there are too many foxes and tricks now, you have to be careful!" ”

Tang Yanqing was disgusted: "Mother, don't worry, Brother Wen said that he would marry me, but it was because of the marriage contract on my body that it was delayed, and as soon as the marriage contract on my body was settled, Brother Wen would go to ask the emperor for marriage!" ”

"Okay, okay, my mother heard the rumor that the Gu family was about to come to propose, and when Tang Yanning married Qing'er, you will be completely free."

The Wen family really can't wait for the Gu family to come to the door tomorrow to propose marriage, so that their baby daughter can marry King Liang as soon as possible.

"You haven't been going to Qiuyuan to make trouble recently, Tang Yanning has already agreed to help you marry on your behalf, don't make her anxious, the province is looking for death and life, Sister Yu'er's reputation is bad, and she can only marry into the Lu family. The sisters are still young, and when the time comes, if you retire from this family and marry King Liang, outsiders will inevitably say that we hate the poor and love the rich, and we are treacherous. The royal family has always been the most important thing about face, and your reputation is especially important now, you know? ”

After listening to his mother's instructions, Tang Yanqing pursed his lips and said perfunctorily, I know! I wanted to "tease" Tang Yanning after eating, but after listening to my mother's words, I thought I would endure it for a while!

Wen also babbled and told her daughter some ways to win a man's heart, and warned her daughter to be reserved, the more men will always be more worried about the more they can't get it, don't be like Tang Yanyu, who lost her reputation for losing her virginity before marriage.

Tang Yanqing bowed his head lightly when he heard it at first, but the more he heard it, the more pale his face became.

A few days ago, when I met King Liang at my grandfather's house, King Liang stayed in Wen Mansion at night, Tang Yanqing loved him, so in order to show thoughtfulness, he went to send a night of sobering soup, who knew that this gift would also send himself.

Wen said to himself that he didn't see his daughter's empty look in his eyes at all, just that it was the first time that the younger daughter's family heard these things a little twisted, Tang Yanqing didn't dare to say that he had lost his body, anyway, Brother Wen promised to marry her in the future, and then talked to his mother about some interesting things in the capital before he dispersed and went back.

~~

It was the height of summer, and the cicadas were chirping.

Tang Yanning was sitting under a locust tree in the courtyard, embroidering a wedding dress with a focused expression.

This wedding dress was made in advance for herself when the mother was still alive, but there was no embroidery, and the mother said that when she grew up, she would embroider the patterns she liked, so that she would feel like a new bride.

At that time, my father was very fond of my mother, and I gave her two high-grade red brocade to her mother, who was not willing to use it for herself, and made a wedding dress for her, hoping that her daughter would be able to marry in a dignified manner in the future and be a lady of the house.

It's a pity that in the previous life, I was carried in a hurry as a concubine, and the red wedding dress was put on hold, because the concubine was not allowed to wear red.

She holds a needle in her bare hand, shuttling back and forth on the red skirt, a piece of Hao wrist leaks out between the shaking, white and smooth, a head of ink-like hair is scattered behind her back, and occasionally two broken hair playfully slides to her chest, she looks down and looks focused and serious, looking like a moving beauty picture from a distance, which is pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that Shuang'er has no intention of appreciating such a beautiful picture. For a while, he stood on tiptoe and looked outside the courtyard gate, and for a while he paced back and forth in the courtyard, as if he was preoccupied.

"Shuang'er, don't go back and forth, my eyes are dizzy from you." Tang Yanning put down the clothes in his hand, looked up at Shuang'er, and said helplessly.

Shuang'er was full of apologies when she realized that she had disturbed Miss Embroidery, "I'm sorry Miss, I disturbed you." ”

Tang Yanning knew why Shuang'er was in a hurry, Tang Yanqing liked to bully her the most on weekdays, this time she had been gone for half a month, and she must have come back to trouble her, Shuang'er was restless all morning, presumably worried that she would be bullied again.

This stupid girl, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if Tang Yanqing comes, she can't stop it, but seeing Shuang'er worrying about herself so much, Tang Yanning still feels a warm heart, Shuang'er is afraid that she is the only person in the world who will still worry about her!

She waved her hand and motioned for Shuang'er to come over, and said, "Don't worry, the eldest sister won't come over today, and she won't come to trouble me in the near future." ”

Shuang'er was a little unconvinced when she heard this, "Really? But the eldest lady has always loved to come to Qiuyuan to find fault. ”

"I'm going to marry her soon. At this time, he didn't dare to come over to provoke me, and besides, the eldest sister probably didn't have the heart to come to my side to hang out recently. Tang Yanqing is now thinking about how to let King Liang come to the door to propose marriage as soon as possible, where is he still thinking about coming over to provoke her, in vain.

Hearing the young lady say with a determined face, Shuang'er breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qiuyuan could live a stable life recently. Tang Yanning picked up the wedding dress again and continued to embroider, "What I told you last time can be done?" ”

"That's it, miss, these are the two letters I bought from the little guy, and a sachet." Shuang'er walked as he spoke, took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Tang Yanning.

Tang Yanning opened the envelope and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth rose.

When Tang Yanqing was fifteen years old, he almost fell into the water at the chrysanthemum banquet in the palace, and was rescued by Lu Jinzhao, the son of the Zhongyi Waiting Mansion, and then secretly promised with a heart, so he asked someone to pass a love poem to Lu Jinzhao, who knew that Lu Jinzhao only glanced at the envelope at that time and refused it on the spot......

The little guy who passed was speechless for a while, and he let him throw it away with just a glance, the other party was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was captivating the country and the city. He was worried that if he returned truthfully, would Miss Xiangfu be angry with him? After thinking about it, the little guy left the letter and lied that the other party had received it, but there was no expression!

Tang Yanqing didn't wait for a reply, secretly wondering if Lu Jinzhao didn't know that it was him, so he went to another one, signed it, and sent an extra handmade sachet.

After all, Tang Yanqing has a beautiful appearance and has the title of the first beauty of the Great Wei, so she was sure that Lu Jinzhao would be moved if she knew it, so she secretly waited for a few days, but still did not reply, and then slowly died of heart, and then mixed up with King Liang!

When the second letter was delivered to Lu Jinzhao, it was still the same fate, and the little guy had to stay again and forget it when he put it in a closet everywhere.

In his previous life, after Tang Yanning married Lu Jinhua, he occasionally went to Lu Jinzhao's residence, Yulin Xuan, and heard the two little guys talking about the incident of sending letters, only to know that Tang Yanqing had a crush on Lu Jinzhao. So in this world, Tang Yanning sent Shuang'er to find this little guy early, and spent five taels of silver to buy these two letters, and the little guy had already forgotten about it, and when he heard that someone was still willing to pay for it, he immediately found it happily.
