Chapter 43: The Heart Knot
Princess Guide has been fond of His Royal Highness since she was a child, and it is a well-known secret.
Of course, His Royal Highness the Prince has never responded to her, and everyone knows it.
Princess Guide's mother, Princess Anyang, also told her daughter seriously that it was impossible for her and Shizi to do so.
The younger generation doesn't understand, only when the son of the world is the favored son of the dynasty, the older generation of people, who doesn't know that the son of the world is the proton raised by the emperor in the capital?
Favored today, who knows where tomorrow will be?
The day is precarious, and it is just a matter of seeing through it and not saying it.
But Princess Guide was reluctant, and she was not ready to give up when she came back this time.
After listening to what she said, the expression on the emperor's face narrowed a little: "Your brother has also reached the age of marriage, your little imperial uncle is not in good health, I raised him in the capital..."
"As an uncle, do you always want him to live a comfortable life, since it is his own request, the girl of the Sheng family, I also specially checked, there is nothing bad about it, why not fulfill them?"
Princess Guide was also testing just now, but now seeing that the emperor was not angry, she became bolder, pursed her lips, and her eyes were red: "Uncle Huang is eccentric!" "She's coquettish.
The emperor really likes this little niece, so he let her continue.
"The emperor's uncle only cares about the words of the absolute brother, and he doesn't care about the guide at all, the guide has liked the absolute brother since he was a child, and the emperor's grandmother also knows it."
Most of the women in this dynasty are the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, but when Princess Anyang was young, she was also a concubine she selected, and the royal princess naturally cannot be compared with others.
But there are still people who think that the princess's move is inappropriate and has brought bad women all over the world.
Princess Anyang has a strong temperament, and she does not confine her daughter to the house, Princess Guide has been lawless since she was a child, and now she doesn't feel that it is embarrassing to talk about her likes.
"Girls' families, they talk about such things all day long, is this how Anyang taught you etiquette?"
Hearing the emperor's lecture to Princess Guide, the Queen Mother, she smiled and played a round: "What is the emperor doing so seriously, isn't Guide still young?" Don't you just like her lively nature? β
"Back then, Anyang was also like Guide, lawless, and the mourning family really had no way to take her."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother showed a look of nostalgia on her face, and her expression when she looked at Princess Guide was even more gentle.
"Queen Mother...... Anyang chose the horse that year, but you agreed, Guide this ......"
The emperor and the queen mother didn't want Princess Guide to have anything to do with Xiao Jue in their hearts.
The emperor was even more reluctant to see the children of Princess Anyang's family marrying the children of King Yu.
And the Queen Mother felt sorry for her youngest son, and she also really loved Xiao Jue, so she was even more reluctant to let Princess Guide wade into this troubled water.
Last year, the Queen Mother was still worried, what kind of princess did she want to marry for Xiao Jue?
The door is too high, and the emperor is suspicious, and the mother and son will directly have a dislike, but if they casually find a girl from an inconspicuous family, this is insulting Xiao Jue's identity, so that everyone can see the clues.
Just when the queen mother was in a hurry, she didn't expect Xiao Jue to have a sweetheart, the official position of the Ministry of Rites is neither high nor low, although the girl is a concubine, but she does not have half of the power of the mother's family, the main thing is that there is no threat, even the emperor is very satisfied, and the holy decree of marriage is very happy.
Now seeing that Princess Guide actually wants to mix in it, the emperor is even more reluctant.
"Uncle Huang! Guide just likes! Princess Guide rolled her eyes and said willfully, she didn't understand on the surface, but she was very thorough in her heart, when she was willful and coquettish, it was said that she was most like her mother when she was a child.
Sure enough, she saw that the emperor's expression eased again, but the emperor still did not let go.
"I have already made a holy decree, how can I change it, if I say it, it will be changed so easily, wouldn't it be a mess?"
Princess Guide had already thought about this, she smiled and pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes: "It's that Guide is not good, Uncle Huang, Guide doesn't want you to make a new holy decree, Guide just wants to see what kind of person she is like to marry a woman who is going to marry a peerless brother!" β
She frowned and said willfully: "I want to see if she can be worthy of Brother Jue!" I'm not that unreasonable person, if that woman is really that good, Guide is willing to give up. β
"But if that woman is useless, Guide won't agree, even if Brother Jue doesn't marry me, I can't let that kind of woman marry Brother Jue!" She said it simply.
But in her heart, she had already planned that as long as it dragged on for a while, whether it was Sheng Zi'an's disrepute or her death, she would not be able to marry Xiao Jue, and that would not be considered the emperor's rebellion, why not?
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and leaned back: "Guide, this child, is it the champion to be a parent?" This emotional thing, but there is no one to win anyone, Guide is naΓ―ve....."
Princess Guide lifted her skirt, ran to the Queen Mother's side, and hugged the Queen Mother's arm: "I don't care.... I came back from the fiefdom all the way, and I was worried all the way, and now that I have arrived, can't the emperor's uncle be guided by Guide once? β
"Grandmother, you also help Guide persuade you!" She hugged the arm of the Queen Mother and swayed the Queen Mother, and she was going to hang her whole body on the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand: "You monkey, let go of the mourning family, the mourning family's arm will be broken by you!" β
Princess Yu has already told the Queen Mother about this matter in private, the daughter of the Sheng family is recognized by both Princess Yu and Xiao Jue, although the Queen Mother has never seen this real person, but Princess Yu is still very old-fashioned.
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the marriage between Xiao Jue and the girl of the Sheng family was already a certainty, so she didn't take it to heart, but said to the emperor with a smile.
"Guide has said so, you are the emperor's uncle, you will allow it, where can the girl you like be sent to the girl you like? Let's let our little Guide see what it's like to have someone outside the world. β
"Let her know that she is inferior, and she will be able to restrain her arrogant temperament in the future!" The Queen Mother was just joking, but Princess Guide lowered her head and bit her lip to stop her resentful words.
When the emperor saw that the queen mother said so, he had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, don't make trouble, just have a good time when you go back to the capital, don't go too far."
"Yes, follow the teachings of the emperor's uncle!" Guide happily saluted.
It was late, and she had her own princess's mansion outside, so after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, she left the palace.
Aunt Liu, who was waiting for the Queen Mother, had been by the Queen Mother's side for many years, and asked a little puzzled: "The Queen Mother really let Princess Guide make trouble?" β
The Queen Mother's voice was a little tired: "Just let her make a fuss, so that you can see how capable this princess she chooses?" β
"In the future, the situation around Jue'er will definitely be more embarrassing and difficult than what she will encounter today, if this little wind and waves can't withstand it, how can the mourning family rest assured that she will accompany Jie'er on?"
Aunt Liu didn't expect the Queen Mother to have this idea, but she was still puzzled: "What if that woman goes to His Royal Highness the Prince to complain?" β
The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully: "Filing a complaint is also a kind of ability... Do you see Guide? β
Sheng Zi'an didn't know that the Queen Mother, who had never met before, was already ready to give herself a test.
It's just that three days later, the little maid in the princess's mansion came to the door and left Sheng Zi'an a war book with arrogance, so that Sheng Zi'an would enter the palace in three days to accept the test of Princess Guide.
Sheng Zi'an is inexplicably wonderful, this strange princess, now she doesn't take the threat of this set and starts other ways?
Sheng Shangshu was so nervous that his daughter would be too restrained and ignorant when she entered the palace, which would make the emperor and the queen mother unhappy and lose her family's good marriage.
Ear mentioned the face, let Sheng Zi'an concentrate on preparing in the past few days, Sheng Zi'an was bored with his face, closed the door to thank the guests, Sheng Shangshu did not deliberately bother, but when His Royal Highness the Prince came to the house, he was extremely courteous.
Xiao Jue was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was worried that Sheng Zi would be restless, so he deliberately restrained the breath around him, but as soon as he entered the door, he was almost laughed at, he had never seen a girl with such a big heart!
It was just after noon, Sheng Zi'an was holding a medical book in his hand, but his eyes were closed, leaning on the back of the chair, looking drowsy, looking very peaceful and delicate.
Woken up by the footsteps of Xiao Jue when he entered the door, Sheng Zi'an opened his eyes dimly, only to see His Royal Highness the Prince of the World waving away the people who were waiting, sitting beside him, with a serious face.
After dealing with him so many times, Sheng Zi'an was not afraid of him, but smiled and leaned towards him: "What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince today?" Came over with a tiger face? It's not that hot in this room! β
Xiao Jue saw that she really didn't know anything, and she didn't embarrass herself, she quickly reached out, pinched Sheng Zi'an's cheek, and gritted her teeth and said, "No heart and no lungs!" β
Although he was wary of the emperor, after all, his status was noble, for so many years, others had lived by looking at his face, and now that he met an ignorant person, Xiao Jue felt that he was holding back, which was really meaningless.
"The prince has such a big temper! I've been doing it since then, I really don't know where to provoke you! Sheng Zi'an rubbed her cheeks and complained, Xiao Jue's hand was a little strong just now, and a red mark was left on her face at this time.
Xiao Jue didn't expect it, and reached out again, wanting to rub her, but Sheng Zi'an cleverly dodged it.
Sheng Zi'an stared at his outstretched hand: "Your Royal Highness, it's useless to repeat the old technique, what the hell is going on, what do you ......say?"
"It makes the courtiers confused, and they have to be complained by His Royal Highness the Prince, which is really wronged."
Sheng Zi'an complained a little coquettishly, but when she saw Xiao Jue's face, she asked, "Didn't you say that you should rely more on your husband?" β
