Seeing that good things were about to come to fruition, she was actually counterattacked by Rong Changning, and by the way, the people who sent her to her were eliminated. Fortunately, Hou Ye didn't seem to be angry with him, Aunt Xu has always been cautious, how could she take risks at this juncture?

Thinking of this, Aunt Xu felt scared in her heart, but fortunately, Rong Changning only cleaned up her yard and didn't mention it much and didn't enter the palace.

Rong Changning moved the bed and washed the floor with great fanfare in the Wanqing Courtyard, which was not lively. She just wanted to show her cousin to see if she felt unbearable on her face.

In fact, this aunt really felt panicked, so she wanted to pack up her things and go back to Hengliang, but she didn't know how to be held down by Aunt Xu, and Rongchuan politely retained, so she pushed the boat down the river and stayed in the house for a few days.

Rong Changning could see it clearly, they had made up their minds to spend it with themselves, but she didn't care, she had already made her own decision, and completely blocked Aunt Xu's idea of marrying her far away.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, Rong Changning was waiting for this palace banquet.

The post sent by the palace only wrote about the three sisters and brothers of Rongchuan and the Rong family. Previously, I heard that the palace had handed over the post, but I prepared it for a while, and I bought materials for Rongxin to make new clothes and gave her a hairpin ring, so that Rongxin could take the opportunity to go to the palace to see Erlang well.

Who would have thought that it was just a waste of time.

Rong Changning didn't deliberately dress up, he was as plain as usual, and only an agarwood hairpin was inserted in his bun to outline the corners of his eyebrows, making people look more regular. When he went out, Rong Xin deliberately ran forward, pulled out the golden hairpin on his head in front of Rong Chuan, and presented it to Rong Changning with both hands: "The second sister is dressed quietly and does not bring any hairpin rings, Xin'er can't enter the palace, this golden hairpin should be brought by the second sister." ”

Rong Changning lowered his eyes and glanced at the golden hairpin: "You keep it, the mourning period has not passed, and the children in the city will go to the banquet in the future, and everyone will see me with such a dazzling thing, what should they think of me?" ”

After saying that, Rong Changning turned around and got into the car, leaving Rong Xin standing in front of the door and not knowing how to reply, Rong Chuan couldn't find anything wrong with Rong Changning when he saw it, so he had to pat Rong Xin's shoulder: "It's cold, go back." ”

Then he turned around and got into the car.

There was a white lantern hanging in front of the cart, and the word 'Baining' was written in black ink on the lantern, and the people on the long street had to avoid it when they saw it.

The cart crossed the long street and went straight to the Xuanyuan Gate, and the people who went to the banquet got off at the palace gate and walked to the Zichen Palace.

Under the square pillars of the hall, the head of the mantle spits water, standing outside the hall and looking up, you can see the soft light of the moonlight sprinkled on the glazed tiles, Rong Ruo couldn't help but pull Rong Changning's sleeves when he saw it, and pointed to the palace shrouded in silk sound: "Second sister, look! ”

Rong Changning patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Be quiet, don't make people think that the children of our Rong family have never seen the world." ”

Rong Ruo nodded honestly.

Entering the palace, Rong Changning sat firmly on the mat in the distance, and was not shocked by the splendor of the carved beams and paintings in the hall.

When it comes to official positions, my father should be in the middle and lower of the seat, but in previous years, because of my mother, the table was not so far away.

It seems that the Holy One does not want to exalt his father.

The beauty in the hall raised her sleeves and danced on tiptoe, and the wine had also passed three rounds, and Gonggong Li, who was behind the saint, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Miss Rong Er of Baining Houfu sent two pots of plum blossom brew earlier, why don't you bring them to you?" ”

"Eiji?" Shengshang looked at the seat for a long time, and finally saw Rong Changning sitting in the distance, and suddenly remembered that Rong Changning's mother Yonglu was the best at making plum blossom brew, so he waved his hand and called Gonggong Li: "Call her over." ”

"Yes."

Gonggong Li detoured to Rong Changning's side from the perimeter of the hall, bowed down and whispered: "Second Miss Rong, the Holy Lord asked you to come over and speak." ”

Rong Changning glanced at the hall and saw that the saint was looking at him, so he got up and followed Gonggong Li forward, and when he saw that the saint did not wait to salute, he was stopped: "Sit down." ”

Rong Changning was stunned, carefully knelt down on the cushion prepared next to the saint, and lowered his head to listen to the saint's words: "When you grow up, seeing me is like a mouse seeing a cat." ”

"My mother always taught, first the monarch and then the uncle and nephew."

"Speaking of which, when you were young, you could sit on my body and wet my dragon robe, and for more than ten years, the white horse passed through the gap, and you were so old."

Hearing this, Rong Changning boldly looked up at the man in front of him who was slightly older than his father, his smile was kind and not losing the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and he asked like an ordinary elder: "After my mother passed away, can you three sisters and brothers live in the Hou Mansion?" ”

Rong Changning smiled, very indifferent. so that people can't see that she has been wronged in the house.

How are you doing? Aunt Xu wants to calculate herself and Rong Ruo every once in a while, and her tricks are vicious and cheap. Thinking more than these, Rong Changning didn't want the saint to feel that Baining Houfu's house was restless.

So he returned: "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine." It's just that my father recently mentioned Changning's marriage. ”

"Marriage?" The saint put down the wine cup and calculated in his heart: "Changning is also fifteen this year, and he should mention marriage." ”

"Mother's ......"

Speaking of which, the saint also understood what Rong Changning was worried about, and then raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief: "Three years of mourning, you were also eighteen years old at that time, and your age is not too young, and the girl's family is not good." ”

Rong Changning lowered his head in embarrassment: "......"

The emperor turned his eyes to look at Rong Changning: "Tell my uncle, is there a candidate in Changning's heart?" ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning suddenly raised his head, and his face turned red.

Seeing that she was shy, the emperor waved his hand: "Outside the palace, as long as the door is right, your uncle will make the decision for you, you don't have to worry." Then he tapped the table with his finger: "Settle the family affairs first, even if it is a funeral, it doesn't matter." ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning raised his eyes and looked at the banquet, and saw Bai Chuxi, who was in high spirits for the green shirt and indigo robe, sitting on the seat next to the prince, and he smiled heartily.

This can't help but make Rong Changning think of what the eldest sister said, his official position and prestige in the court are higher than his father's.

Anyway, they are all going to get married, so Rong Changning raised his slender little finger and pointed at Bai Chuxi below, and his thin lips spit out lightly: "General Dingbei, Bai Chuxi." ”

The saint looked in the direction of Bai Chuxi, and muttered: "Bai Chuxi? Bai's eldest grandson, okay. His maternal grandfather was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, although he was a shomen but not a Rufu. is so civil and military, the head is magnificent, and the achievement will be above his father. Changning thinks it's good, and I think it's very good. ”

"Just ask the general what he means."

"Well, I'm in charge."

Rong Changning smiled lightly: "Then it's all up to the Holy Lord, and wait for a long time." ”

Two pots of plum blossom brewing, then change the identity of the white family's daughter-in-law, who says it's not worth it?

Rong Changning can be regarded as getting what he wants.

Early in the morning of the second day, Rong Changning did not wait for someone to come to the Hou Mansion to deliver the decree, but she was not in a hurry, the gentleman was like a sweat, and the emperor's uncle would never coax herself.

In this way, he followed the eldest sister to the main courtyard to ask for peace, Rong Xin was unwilling in his heart, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Rong Changning, so he began to deliberately chatter: "I heard that the cousin of the Xu family went to the street yesterday to find a lot of new things and sent them to the Wanqing Courtyard, and Ah Xin and I were stunned and didn't even look at it." ”

I thought that the two distant relatives from Hengliang would have no face to go to Rong Changning, but how did they know that this Ah Fu still didn't give up, and asked someone to send things to Wanqing Courtyard early in the morning, intending to ask Rong Changning for guilt.

Rong Changning put down the teacup, and Rong Ruo pouted: "My second sister has not confiscated any of them, if you are rare, go to the guest room and ask the cousin of the Xu family if you want it." ”

"I'm not rare, it's just that my cousin is really interested in the second sister, get some food today and some things tomorrow, and change flowers to make the second sister happy, which is really enviable. Even if you do something wrong, it is not unforgivable. It's just a concubine, and it's nothing if the second sister is virtuous. ”

"The second sister is naturally not as virtuous as you." Rong Ruo immediately opened his mouth and replied to Rong Xin: "I see that you and the cousin of the Xu family are also talking and laughing, you and your aunt have a 'Xu family is well-off, and you are friends with my Rong family' or you will marry it, speaking of which, the relationship between you and the cousin of the Xu family is much closer than that of our sisters and brothers." ”

"You ......"

Before Rong Xin could say anything, Rong Chuan had already entered the house, and everyone stopped and stood up and saluted: "Father is fine." ”

"Sit down." Rong Chuan turned his eyes to look at Rong Changning: "I just listened to your lively chat, what are you talking about?" ”

"Back to my father, Sister Xin'er said that the cousin of the Xu family broke into the second sister's boudoir and had a good time with his subordinates, which is not a big deal." Rong Ruo said and glanced at Rong Xin in a blink of an eye, and Rong Xin immediately panicked: "No, father, Xin'er didn't mean that." ”

Rong Ruo will ask unceremoniously: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Steward Yang, who was standing at the door, ignored the arguing of the young lady at home, and hurriedly entered the door: "Master Hou, someone is in the palace." ”

People came from the palace, and the family hurried to the front hall to greet them, only Rong Changning was not in a hurry, and his steps were light, and when he saw the old eunuch holding this holy decree in his hand, he knelt quietly behind Rong Chuan and listened to the announcement: "Bai Ning waits for Rong Chuan's second daughter Rong Changning, diligent and supple, Shude Hanzhang, sensitive and wise, and Jiaren, Fang Ling is to be married, and he is given to Bai Chuyi, the general of Dingbei, and allows him to get married, and the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman is good for the two surnames." After the mourning of Princess Yonglu for three years, she can get married, and all matters will be handled by the Ministry of Rites. Chin this. ”

As soon as the word 'Qin this' fell, Rong Changning's heart was completely grounded, Rong Xin raised his head and looked at Rong Changning in disbelief, how could the saint personally give marriage?

Rong Chuan took the holy decree and held it in his hand: "Quickly serve tea to my father-in-law and prepare a banquet." ”

"Lord Hou is polite, the old slave was ordered to go directly to the Hou Mansion as soon as he left the palace gate, and he would have to go to the White Mansion, so he wouldn't bother the Hou Ye much. Stay. ”

Rong Chuan hurriedly took out a whole bag of broken silver prepared in advance, and said in a tone that no one can shirk: "My father-in-law has important things to do, and it is inconvenient for me to stay." The little girl is taken care of by her father-in-law, and she is full of joy, and when the little girl gets married, she will definitely come to drink the wedding wine. ”

"Yo, Master Hou, how can this be done?" The old eunuch laughed so much that the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and he unceremoniously put the gold ingot into his cuffs: "The old slave will leave first, and the Hou Ye will take care of himself." ”

"Steward Yang, send your father-in-law out."

"Yes."

"The old slave retired."

Rong Chuan turned around and handed the holy decree into Rong Changning's hands, and his heart was both relieved and panicked, because he didn't know what Rong Changning said to the saint at the palace banquet that day, and today he passed the marriage decree into the mansion.
