Chapter 314: Marriage Request
When the little guy saw his master's ugly face, he suddenly jumped, and said hesitantly: "The two of them are in the front hall now." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, he hurriedly walked to the front hall, bowed to the four princes, and said, "His Royal Highness the Four Princes have been negligent in coming to the Taifu Mansion. The little girl is delicate and savage, and she troubles His Royal Highness the Four Princes. ”
Of course, the fourth prince did not have a good impression of this person who had already stood on the side of the seventh prince, waved his hand, and said:
"Today, it was the prince's carriage that collided with Miss Xu, and I hope Mrs. Xu will forgive the prince."
Mrs. Xu laughed twice and said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said that he was laughing, how can he forgive me?" If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is busy with government affairs, then the Taifu Mansion will not be far away. ”
Faced with Mrs. Xu's attitude, the fourth prince didn't get too angry, turned around, and prepared to leave directly.
And Xu Yingying looked at the back of the four princes leaving, and grabbed Mrs. Xu's wrist, and said with a coquettish face:
"Daddy, those four princes are my life-saving benefactors today, why did you send them away in a few words? I didn't even give people a sip of tea. ”
Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter looked like a little daughter, and she had a bad premonition in her heart, and said:
"Yingying, Dad told you, you can choose all the men in the world, and Dad will help you take care of everything. At that time, only the royal people could not touch it, and among the royal people, only the four princes were absolutely not allowed to approach. ”
Xu Yingying pursed her mouth and said:
"But, Daddy, falling in love with someone is not something that a daughter can decide on her own. From that moment, when the daughter was hugged by the four princes, the daughter's heart belonged to the four princes. No matter what happens, the daughter has to stay with the four princes! ”
Looking at Xu Yingying's stubborn appearance, Mrs. Xu's face turned pale!
He took a few deep breaths, and then said: "The four princes already have a concubine, if you marry over, you can only be a side concubine." In your nature, can you be subservient? ”
Xu Yingying thought about it, took it for granted, and said: "What's the matter, my daughter just wants to marry the person she likes!" ”
Mrs. Xu gritted his teeth, and his beard was trembling.
Why can't Xu Yingying understand? The Xu family, as the person next to the Seven Princes, if she really marries the Four Princes, then she will definitely be caught in the middle.
I think it's because over the years, I've protected this daughter so well that I don't have any sense of proportion at all.
"You evil girl, you remember to me, I will never allow you to marry that fourth prince!" Mrs. Xu said.
Xu Yingying snorted coldly and said, "I don't need your permission, I'll fight for this opportunity to marry the fourth prince myself!" ”
After finishing speaking, he left with the little maid beside him.
Only Mrs. Xu, who was blowing his beard and staring, was left behind, standing in place angrily.
"The princess and concubine, the queen mother sent an invitation from there. It is said that you will invite the nobles in Kyoto to go to the Empress Dowager's palace together to admire the glass palace lamp you gave her. ”
In the Shizi's Mansion, in the warm pavilion, Sheng Zi'an was listening to Xiao Jue tell what happened on the street today.
"Put the post down, I'll be back tomorrow." Sheng Zi'an glanced at Xiao Jue with a three-point smile and said.
"This scene is not over yet, and Mrs. Tomorrow will be able to see interesting scenes." Xiao Jue put the invitation aside, and put a candied fruit in Sheng Zi'an's mouth.
Sheng Zi'an smiled slightly, "The kind of spice that can frighten horses is very useful, and this young lady of the Xu family is really a good girl who dares to love and hate, and this scene tomorrow will be interesting." ”
Xiao Jue played with Sheng Zi'an's wisp of green silk in his hand, "Madame, would you like to help her husband study ink?" The husband has to deal with the fun stuff next. ”
Of course, Sheng Zi'an didn't refuse, and Xiao Jue didn't hide it in front of Sheng Zi'an, and he was generous enough to be shown in front of Sheng Zi'an by those documents.
On the morning of the second day, Sheng Zi'an of course got up early in the morning and started to dress up.
Today, since she went to watch the glass palace lamp she sent, she is also half of the protagonist, so she naturally wants to dress up.
Dressed in a light purple group, with a simple bun, and exquisite makeup, Sheng Zi'an has arrived in the palace of the Queen Mother at this moment, which has attracted the attention of all the female dependents.
"Zi'an is here, please take a seat." As soon as the Queen Mother saw Sheng Zi'an, she had a shallow smile on her face, took Sheng Zi'an's hand, and put her in her personal position.
When Sheng Zi'an and the Queen Mother said a few thoughtful words, they glanced at the nobles sitting below with their spare eyes. Xu Yingying really stayed and sat down.
After all the ladies arrived, a few little eunuchs carefully carried up a platform. On that platform, there was the glass palace lamp. 678
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, everyone didn't see what the palace lantern was like. Now, this delicate and transparent thing was put in front of everyone, and everyone was amazed and admired.
While looking at it, the Queen Mother said to Sheng Zi'an beside her: "Zi'an, how did you find such a thing called glass?" ”
Sheng Zi'an smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, when the concubine was bored at home, she read a few books on smelting, and suddenly made such a brother on a whim." ”
"Then you must not be stingy, and you must tell the craftsmen in the palace how this thing is made. Ask everyone here, who doesn't want to have a palace lamp like this at home. The Queen Mother immediately said, it seems that she really likes the palace lamp in front of her.
Sheng Zi'an nodded and said, "Of course, the concubine will definitely not be so stingy." ”
After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother asked a few more words about Xiao Jue.
Sheng Zi'an blushed on the one hand, and answered one by one on the other, and at first glance, he was very happy with Xiao Jue.
"His Royal Highness the Prince and the Concubine are really envious of others." Xu Yingying suddenly said loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
The Queen Mother held Sheng Zi'an's hand, and said to Xu Yingying with a kind smile: "Miss Xu doesn't have to envy Zi'an, she has her own fate that belongs to Miss Xu." ”
As soon as Xu Yingying heard this, a shallow flush immediately appeared on her face, and she lowered her head shyly.
That warm embrace appeared in Xu Yingying's mind again that day, and she shook her head. Today, she must let the Queen Mother personally marry herself!
Looking at her like this, several young ladies on the side were surprised.
Xu Yingying is the most presumptuous and bold on weekdays, why is this the appearance when she mentions her sweetheart today?
A young lady said jokingly: "Miss Xu, looking at you like this, haven't you really found your own fate?" ”
The Queen Mother also joked: "If Miss Xu falls in love with the son-in-law of that family, the mourning family is willing to help Miss Xu be the master." Don't be shy, just say it. ”
Xu Yingying was still reluctant to speak, but blushed and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you have to count what you say, otherwise, I won't tell you." ”
The Queen Mother laughed, and the ladies in the hall also pursed their lips and laughed.
"The girl of the Xu family is really a straight female doll, if you mourn the family, of course it counts." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
When Xu Yingying saw the Queen Mother say this, her face turned red, and then she gritted her teeth and said: "The Queen Mother, the sweetheart of the 1 courtier's daughter is none other than His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the smiles of the nobles present suddenly stiffened.
The relationship between Mrs. Xu and the four princes is well known to everyone above the court.
However, Xu Yingying didn't seem to notice it, and then said:
"Yesterday, the carriage in which the courtiers were riding was hanging by a thread because of the frightened relationship of the horses. It was His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince who stepped forward and saved the courtiers. From that moment on, the courtiers had already thought clearly, in this life, the courtiers would not marry unless the four princes were married. ”
These words were very resolute, which made the Queen Mother frown.
Sheng Zi'an, who was on the side, put on a strange look and leaned into the Queen Mother's ear and said: "Queen Mother, in recent days, the Queen Mother is choosing a side concubine for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, so it's better to ......"
Although this sentence was said in the ear of the Queen Mother, the volume was not small, and the several noblewomen present could hear it clearly.
Xu Yingying thought that Sheng Zi'an was helping herself speak, and when she looked at Sheng Zi'an's eyes, she was grateful.
And the other ladies have calculated in their hearts, including the Queen Mother.
Here, the queen mother just said that she would help the four princes choose a side concubine, and Xu Yingying was saved by the four princes over there, so it's too much of a coincidence, right?
Could it be that the four princes have taken a fancy to the forces on Taifu's side and want to win over Taifu?
The Queen Mother rubbed her temples, looked at Xu Yingying in front of her, and finally sighed and said, "Girl, have you thought about it?" Once you get married, there's no turning back. ”
Of course, Xu Yingying immediately said: "Queen Mother, please do it!" The courtiers had already made up their minds. ”
The Queen Mother said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then the mourning family will be in charge of this marriage." ”
The Queen Mother really doesn't want to get involved in the battle of these princes, since Xu Yingying likes the four princes, then she will fulfill the two of them.
Only the struggle of those forces behind them will let the two of them weigh it themselves.
