Chapter 39: A Father's Heart
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, there was already a hint of coolness in the air, and there was nothing to do in the evening, so Yunqing asked Ah Fu to move the stove to the bamboo pavilion, and took the pre-rain Longjing that Fu Mingli sent yesterday, and made tea at the stone table.
Hui Ran made two new plates of cloud cakes, the red-sleeved trustee brought a few melon seeds from outside the palace, and the master and servant sat by the lake to eat tea and chat, which was also a little leisurely.
"The slave maid heard that Prince Min sent someone to send the county lord of Lingyao back to Baici Nunnery yesterday, and the county lord made a fuss for a long time, and ran to King Ning's mansion to find His Royal Highness King Ning to intercede, but His Royal Highness directly closed the door to thank the guests, and put the county lord outside the mansion, making a big joke." Ah Fu opened the thin skin of melon seeds, stuffed the salty and fragrant melon seeds into his mouth, and gloated.
"It's all an old joke in the capital, who among those royal relatives and nobles don't regard the matter of the county lord of Lingyao as a topic of conversation after dinner?" The red sleeves curled their lips and mocked: "I see that the Lingyao County Lord is so spoiled, and he will cause trouble at every turn in the capital, so it is better to send him to the nunnery to calm down, so as not to always embarrass Prince Min." ”
"But it's really rare to see a father like Prince Min who knows right from wrong," Ah Fu raised his chin and red sleeves and said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't sneak back for a few days in a month, and the prince is like a cat and mouse, and it is really not easy to send his daughter to the nunnery mercilessly every time." ”
Hui Ran added a cup of tea to Yun Qing, looked at Yun Qing's silent appearance and asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't Miss speak, is there something on your mind?" ”
Yun Qing shook his head, and curled the corners of his lips at Shang Ah Fu and Red Sleeves: "I was just thinking that Prince Min is really a good father." ”
"The slave doesn't understand what the master means." Red Sleeves asked suspiciously: "Prince Min sent his daughter to such a place, how can he still be a good father?" ”
"What do you think, if Prince Min always ignores the matter of Lingyao County Lord's pursuit of King Ning, what will happen in the end?"
Ah Fu: "Either King Ning was moved by the county lord of Lingyao and successfully married into the Ning Wangfu, or the county lord of Lingyao has been busy all these years." ”
"It's not as simple as you think." Yun Qing lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup, and used the lid to skim off the foam on the surface of the tea, "The Lord of Lingyao loves King Ning all over the city, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a serious family to be willing to take the Lord of Lingyao as a candidate for marriage." ”
Hearing this, Ah Fu immediately nodded and agreed: "This is natural, who wants to marry a girl who has a heart to be his wife." ”
"Prince Min knows very well that King Ning has no intention of the county lord, and he knows that it is meaningless for the county lord of Lingyao to go on like this, rather than letting his daughter be obsessed and completely ruining his reputation, it is better to send his daughter to the nunnery in the name of his father, and the county lord is concentrating on practicing Buddhism in Baici Nunnery, if he lets go of his thoughts about King Ning in the future, he can have a reason and reputation for the prodigal son to turn back, and it will not be too difficult to talk about relatives in the future."
The bamboo pavilion was silent for a moment, and the red sleeves sighed: "I originally thought that Prince Min was too ruthless to his daughter, but now it seems like a loving father's heart." ”
Yunqing: "It's not necessarily that he doesn't have the intention of worrying about his daughter ruining the reputation of the palace, but he can make more plans for his daughter while preserving the overall situation, and he can also be called a father's love." ”
"Sister Yun looks at other people's affairs so clearly, I don't know when I can help me solve the big problem in my heart?"
Yunqing grabbed a handful of melon seeds and was about to peel them, but a sneering male voice outside the pavilion scared her hand, and a handful of melon seeds were scattered on the table.
The master and servant looked out, Fu Mingli entered the bamboo pavilion in a black regular suit, and the hazy light softened his angular outline, adding a little more youthful spirit.
