Chapter 63: Commitment

A farce finally ended, although the ladies didn't know what was going on, but Mu He watched it with relish from the sidelines.

He looked at Shi Qingqian stuffing his mouth full with chestnut cakes, and only felt that she was as cute as a chubby little white rabbit at this time, and he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart, and shouted: "Mother! She is so cute, I want her to be my lady! ”

"Poof-" Shi Qingqian, who had just stuffed a piece of chestnut cake, heard this, and choked in her throat with fright, she was uncomfortable and coughed incessantly. Frightened, the eldest lady hurriedly patted Shi Qingqian on the back and tried to help her get along.

"You kid! Don't talk nonsense! Mrs. Shangshu scolded Mu He embarrassedly, she didn't want to make Shi Qingqian unhappy.

How does Mu He know what adults think? The boy's mind is not yet mature at this age, but just because he sees that this sister is good-looking and cute, he thinks that he can be together forever if he becomes his wife, and he doesn't care if Shi Qingqian is a talented girl in the capital. Thinking of this, he felt aggrieved, why didn't he get married to Qi'er, "Mother, Ah He is serious!" ”

When Mrs. Shangshu heard this, her face stinked. "Shut up!"

It's not that she doesn't want to marry the Hou Mansion, it's just that Mu He's words are so light, I'm afraid that the people in the Hou Mansion will get tired of it, and when the two children grow up in the future, they will inevitably feel estranged.

The eldest lady looked kind, and hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, child, the little master is so innocent, he should be so straightforward at a young age, and the lady shouldn't be so reprimanded." ”

Mrs. Shangshu's heart settled down a little, and she said to Mu He with a wry smile: "Ah He wants to marry Miss Shi, do you think Miss Shi can look down on you little fool?" ”

was said by his mother, Mu He still couldn't stop being wronged, his little face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word of justification.

Shi Qingqian was just watching from the sidelines, and she didn't want to deal with this naΓ―ve little child.

"Ah He is not as talented as Miss Shi, and her body is even weaker, how can you protect her?" Mothers always don't miss any opportunity to motivate their children, thinking that Mu He doesn't like to read and doesn't want to practice martial arts on weekdays, she decided to take this opportunity to tease him, so she deliberately made a pity expression, "Alas, who let Ah He not study and practice martial arts, Miss Shi is afraid that she is not willing to marry you." ”

As a bystander, Shi Qingqian knew Mrs. Shangshu's intentions too well, so he nodded seriously on the side, and really thought that he would not marry Mu He.

Mu He saw that Shi Qingqian also thought so, and he was even more anxious, and he no longer argued with Mrs. Shangshu, he ran awkwardly in front of Shi Qingqian, and took out a bracelet of colorful beads from his arms. ”

Children's promises are often so simple, Shi Qingqian didn't know how long Mu He had been brewing and how much effort it took to say this. It's just that the beads are made of ordinary material and are not valuable objects, and they are really embarrassed to be stared at by Mu Hebaba, so they have to accept it.

"Well, I have a wish right now." Shi Qingqian tilted his head and said to Mu He.

For a man, being demanded is a great affirmation, so he hurriedly nodded, "You say!" ”

In Mrs. Shangshu's worried eyes, Shi Qingqian said: "From now on, you don't say anything about marrying me!" You want to listen to your mother, you want to marry me...... At least read and get fit first!"

Mu He nodded like pounding garlic, and raised his right hand like an adult, "Don't worry, Mu He swears to do what you say!" ”

Mrs. Shangshu on the side looked at this scene, and she was grateful and helpless in her heart, and she had no choice but to say that her son didn't even listen to his mother's words, but Shi Qingqian said such a sentence, and he really responded.

Gratitude is that Shi Qingqian has been so alert to understand his good intentions, and to help him solve a big trouble in his heart through the so-called 'wish'.

If she could have such a sensible child like the eldest lady, she would be happy in her dreams.

Shi Qingqian looked at the star-like light in Mu He's eyes, and suddenly felt that this little boy who used to only know how to shout and scream was a little different, and she took in Mu He's firmness.

I hope you can meet the girl you really like in the future...... But that person was definitely not me.

Thinking like this in her heart, Shen Shu's somewhat lonely figure suddenly flashed in front of her, and even she was startled when she realized it......

Why, do you always think of him at such times?

The eldest lady was naturally happy when she saw that her daughter was so sensible, but she didn't know where Shi Qingqian's mind had drifted at this moment, so she said: "By the way, do you know that the spring of next year will be the competition held by the eldest princess." ”

"Eldest princess? Race? These two words appeared in Shi Qingqi's ears for the first time, and he looked at the eldest lady with a pair of round eyes, waiting for her to answer her questions.

The eldest lady looked at Shi Qingqian, her heart was about to melt, and she hurriedly explained: "This eldest princess is the younger sister of today's saint, who has raised the emperor since she was a child, so the emperor also respects her very much, and her status in the harem is extremely high, second only to the queen mother. ”

"Huh? Isn't this eldest princess married? Shi Qingqian asked. The ancients got married when they were teenagers, and as a princess, they should have a good marriage, why are they still in the palace today.

The eldest lady scratched Shi Qingqian's nose, "The eldest princess was naturally married, but at that time her husband was the former prime minister, and after the former prime minister passed away, the emperor was afraid that she would be lonely, so he took her back to the palace as a companion." ”

Shi Qingqian nodded as if she didn't understand, anyway, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the royal scripture is even more difficult to read, and she no longer bothered about the matter of the eldest princess, and continued to ask: "Mother, what are you talking about 'Saiyi'?" ”

"As for the art fair, it is specially held for the ladies in the capital, and it is only held once every three years, as long as it is a girl who has not left the cabinet, regardless of age, you can come to participate." The eldest lady explained, "In the spring, all the ladies gather at the Seremban Terrace to show off their talents. If you receive the most red flowers on the same day, you will be named the 'Hibiscus Fairy' by the eldest princess. ”

Mrs. Shangshu nodded while listening, and did not forget to add: "With this titled young lady, it is not only honorable, but also can ask the emperor for a good marriage." With a meaningful smile on his face, it seemed that he intended to tease Shi Qingqian.

The eldest lady was not annoyed, and continued to say with a smile: "In other words, not only the lady who won the jackpot can enjoy this glory, even the young lady who has not won the lottery may be able to find a good lady in this competition." ”

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian nodded slowly. It turns out that this competition is just a blind date meeting in disguise...... With this understanding, she is not so interested in the competition.

Zhu Qing, who had been supporting behind the wall, heard everyone's words and ran back to Shi Peng's side in a hurry. Panting and said, "Fourth, Fourth Miss, the slave just heard that the eldest lady asked Miss Seven to go to the art fair!" ”

Shi Peng knew about the competition, and when he heard that Shi Qingqian was going to participate, the anger in his eyes burned.

"Shi Qingqian, you wait for me!"
