Chapter 31: Will You Marry Me (1)
The third princess was just about to speak, but was grabbed by the arm of the county lord of Yonghe, shook her head slightly, and signaled her not to make a sound.
Then there was a cheer from everyone, and after three rounds of competition at the flower-viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, Han Jinxiu proved to everyone present that she was not a straw bag, but she was just hidden deeply. Today's three rounds of questions are all revealed, which can only prove Han Jinxiu's strength.
At this time, Cheng Guogong rushed back from the palace, and learned from his subordinates that Han Jinxiu was brilliant in the three rounds of the flower appreciation banquet, praised her, and then made a decision: "Princess, you are a person who appreciates flowers and loves flowers, Niangniang can choose two varieties from any of the eight varieties to bring back, and it is also a lottery for Niangniang to win, please don't shirk it." ”
The eight varieties of peony flowers cultivated in the Chengguo Mansion are priceless, and as soon as the Chengguo Duke returns to the house, he will give two pots of precious peony flowers to the crown princess Han as a colorful head, and everyone's jealous little heart is about to pop out, especially the third princess and the county lord of Yonghe, dare to love the two of them for a long time, all for Han Jinxiu to make a wedding dress, let her out of the limelight, really responded to that sentence, I knew it was so, why bother in the first place!
Yao pinched the silk handkerchief in his hand, and scolded Cheng Guogong in his heart, he was not funny, why didn't he discuss with her and give two pots of precious peony flowers to the crown princess Han, those peony flowers were personally found by the old Chengguo Mansion and specially brought back to the house, only the Chengguo Mansion had it in the capital, why did he want to give it to Han? And every pot of peony flowers is priceless, and the older you get, the more confused you are.
"Thank you Chengguo Gong for his good intentions, I can send such a precious peony flower to this palace, but this palace will not cultivate, and there is no gardener who knows how to cultivate, bring them back, wouldn't it harm them, it is better to stay in Chengguo Mansion, so that everyone can appreciate it in the future, and Chengguo Gong's beauty Palace will understand." Although Han Jinxiu understands this, it is also worth a truth, good things need to be shared by everyone, not exclusive to her.
For Han Jinxiu not to want peony flowers, stay in the Chengguo Mansion to let more people watch, it really surprised the Chengguo Gong, he quickly came back to his senses, and said respectfully: "The princess's kindness is the blessing of all the people." ”
Three rounds of competition made Han Jinxiu out of the limelight, and then everyone alone admired eight kinds of precious peony flowers, Han Jinxiu After three rounds of competition, she could breathe a sigh of relief, she pinched a piece of mung bean pastry and ate it, well, the taste is really good, sweet but not greasy, better than the imperial chef in the imperial dining room. Encountering such a delicious pastry, Han Jinxiu unconsciously ate a few more pieces, well, it was delicious, took the tea cup handed over by Anxin, and she pursed her lips and drank a few sips.
Originally, two neat rows of people had dispersed, some people surrounded Wei Huang, some people surrounded Wei Zi, and some people surrounded Zhao Fan and Luoyang Hong. It's not lively.
Suddenly, a maid wearing pale pink clothes and combing a double bun walked up to Han Jinxiu and poured tea for her, and accidentally sprinkled the water in the tea cup on her dress, only to see the pink-clothed maid couldn't wait to kneel down and said: "The princess and the maid forgive the sin, and the slave knows her mistakes." A heart was pounding, and she didn't know if what was waiting for her next was Han Jinxiu's thunderous anger or a gentle drizzle.
The dress was damp with water in the tea cup, which was not beautiful to wear on the body, and it was not comfortable, and then Han Jinxiu stared at the girl in pink clothes and said lightly: "Stand down!" ”
When the pink-clothed maid heard this, she didn't dare to gasp, held her breath and quickly took a few steps back, and stood with her eyes down.
Yao's sharp eyes saw Han Jinxiu's movements, quickly walked over to this side, scolded the pink-clothed maid, and sent someone to take Han Jinxiu to change a new set of clothes, and asked Han Jinxiu if she brought clothes, if not, she could give it to Xu Zijiao.
was rejected by Han Jinxiu, before she left the palace, she specially prepared a set of dresses, in order to prevent accidents, but she didn't expect it to really come in handy, so the maid assigned by the Yao family took Han Jinxiu, An Mei, and Anxin to the other courtyard to change clothes.
Halfway through, the maid who pointed the way said that she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, so she asked Han Jinxiu and others to wait for her here for a while, and she would come when she went.
An Mei looked at the maid who left in a hurry, and was angry: "Niangniang, this is too much, the hospitality of the Chengguo Mansion ......"
was glared at fiercely by Han Jinxiu, An Mei quickly stopped, pouted, and said: "Niangniang, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid don't say it, please don't be angry, if you are angry, it is the slave's sin." ”
Stretching out her hand to play An Mei's head, Han Jinxiu raised her eyes and looked around, there was a shady rockery not far away, they could go over to enjoy the shade, and they were directly irradiated by the sun on the road, but no.
It's just that Han Jinxiu and the others never thought that they would hear a voice behind the rockery. For a while, Han Jinxiu quickly waved at An Mei and Anxin, signaling them not to make a sound, and to find a good place to hide later, so as not to be discovered. A rockery next to a rockery, it's really not good, and I'll get into the second rockery later. Han Jinxiu was not worried that the maid who led the way would be found, and her intuition told her that the maid would not appear again.
Anxin and An Mei bowed their heads knowingly, and the three of them held their breath, pricked up their ears and seriously lay down in the second rockery to steal the sound.
I heard a man say calmly: "Pianpian, the mother concubine is going to find me a concubine." ”
"Oh, congratulations to the third brother, congratulations to the third brother." A girl's beautiful voice sounded in the rockery.
The mother concubine, the concubine, and the third brother are all key words that can explain the identities of the two of them.
"Pianpian, don't say this kind of thing, you know that the person I like is you, and I like you. Today I want to ask you, would you like to marry me? The man's sincere words sounded in Han Jinxiu's ears again.
This will Han Jinxiu has already guessed who are the men and women in the rockery next door? The man is Zhou Yuanjun, the third prince of the dynasty, and his mother is Concubine Wu Xian, a woman named Pianpian, if she is someone else, Han Jinxiu may have to send someone to investigate, but only this Pianpian does not want to, she was too familiar in her previous life, she is the only daughter of Li Pianpian, the lord of Yonghe County, the eldest princess of Jinyang.
If the third prince really likes the county lord of Yonghe and wants to marry her, he should not ask her in the rockery, but should go to His Majesty, or tell Concubine Wu Xian that the mother and son should go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang to propose marriage.
The county lord of Yonghe lowered his head, and red clouds appeared on his pale face, she never thought that the third brother would say such a thing, and he wanted to marry her, of course she was willing. She is the happiest today, but the girl's family must be reserved and not too proactive. So, she didn't gnaw all the time.
It made King Lu, who was standing opposite her, anxious, and muttered in his heart, it was not that Pian Pian didn't like him and didn't want to marry him. With this thought, King Lu desperately held the jade hand of the county lord of Yonghe, and said eagerly: "Pianpian, I can swear to the sky, I really like you and want to marry you." Pianpian, would you like to marry me? His eagerly expectant eyes were staring at the jade man opposite, this was the girl he put on the tip of his heart, so naturally he couldn't be careless.
