The Princes (2)
Chapter 298: The Princes (2)
Concubine Rou looked at the two children and smiled, and said to the Eighth Prince: "The dinner will start in a while, you take Ah Wan out for a walk, and go to the Qiongfang Pavilion later, don't miss the time." ”
The eighth prince agreed, and Ah Wan followed him out generously, Yuping Palace is located in the West Sixth Palace, not far from the concubine's bedroom, and the fourth son of the emperor born to Concubine Shu is Ah Wan's future brother-in-law. It's not good to disturb at this time, the eighth prince decided to take her to Meixia Garden to play for a while, and Qiongfang Pavilion is in Meixia Garden, so that she won't miss the time.
The eighth prince secretly looked at Ah Wan, this cousin had red lips and white teeth, and a pair of wonderful eyes were as bright as black grapes, as if she had a puddle of autumn water, which was really eye-catching. I often heard my mother say that my uncle was very strict with the family, but he was extremely fond of this cousin. Not only did he think to himself, if his father had such a fairy-like sister, he would probably be loved by thousands of people.
"What is my cousin looking at?" Ah Wan looked at him with a smile and asked.
The Eighth Prince was taken aback, hurriedly lowered his head, and said, "It's nothing." After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Cousin, Gui Geng this year?" ”
Ah Wan smiled: "It's not until winter that I have a sixth birthday. ”
The Eighth Prince nodded and said, "I'm ten years old. ”
The two smiled at each other, chatting with each other, Ah Wan asked about the situation in the palace, and asked where it was fun, and arrived at Meixia Garden while talking, and after a while, the eighth prince felt that he was warm with his cousin, although he blushed from time to time, but he was not unable to open his mouth.
The eighth prince asked her some topics again, nothing more than whether she had ever gone to school, whether she knew how to read, and what she did at home. Ah Wan answered one by one, she never went to school, but her sister taught herself at home, and she didn't do anything else. When the eighth prince talked about the school, he talked about the rest of the princes.
The Nine Emperors are frail and sickly, often attend classes for a day but have to rest for several days, the Ten Princes are very stubborn and are often punished by the Taifu, and the Twelve Princes are smart and on par with their own homework, etc. The eighth prince himself is also very strange, he never talks to people on weekdays, but when he saw his cousin today, he loves to talk so much.
Ah Wan listened with relish, and the two chatted about it, and it was almost time, so they went to the Qiongfang Pavilion together, but fortunately, the distance was not far, and on the road in front of the Qiongfang Pavilion, they met two other teenagers.
One of them was tall and taller than the Eighth Prince, and he looked simple. The other is smaller than the Eighth Prince, but he is more handsome than him, the Eighth Prince is already very good-looking, I didn't expect this young man to look better than him, Ah Wan didn't feel that he looked a few more times. The young man's gaze touched, and Ah Wan was shocked and hurriedly avoided it.
The eighth prince took Ah Wan's hand and walked over, and introduced: "This is the tenth prince, this is the twelfth prince, they are all in the palace of Concubine Hui." This one is my cousin, the prime minister's youngest daughter, whose maiden name is Ah Wan. ”
Ah Wan stepped forward to see the ceremony, the ten princes were nothing, the twelve princes looked her up and down, for some reason she only felt cramped, lowered her head and blushed.
"Is Concubine Rou here?" The Twelfth Prince asked, his voice was very good, like a jade dingdong, although it was not as gentle as the Eighth Prince, but with a hint of clarity.
"The mother seems to be waiting for her father to come with her, right?" The Eighth Prince said uncertainly.
The Twelfth Prince said: "My father and the Prime Minister are discussing in the Liangyi Pavilion, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come for a while." ”
The eighth prince said: "Then the concubine is probably coming, let's go in first, what about Concubine Hui?" ”
The Twelfth Prince said, "It's coming." ”
The four of them walked to the Qiongfang Pavilion together, and the Ten Princes looked back and said, "Wait, it's the fourth brother here." The four of them turned around, and Ah Wan saw the man who caught him under the acacia tree, it was the fourth prince Yuwang, who was about to marry his sister, and his future brother-in-law.
King Yu walked to them, they saw the ceremony, although they were both princes, but King Yu had been named a prince, and the number of courtesies between their brothers was the most thorough. King Yu glanced at them, finally looked at Ah Wan, and said lightly: "You guys go over quickly, it's not good to miss the hour." ”
The eighth prince hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, please first." ”
King Yu was not humble, followed them to the front, suddenly turned around, stared at Ah Wan and said, "Is the lychee delicious?" ”
Ah Wan was stunned, looking at him in confusion, his eyes were sinking like water, and he couldn't see everything inside, Ah Wan couldn't help but take a step back, and said inexplicably: "Huh? Kindness...... OK. "Strange, how did he know that he had eaten lychee? Could it be that his sister told him? Oops, this is too bad, I ate what he gave his sister to eat, and he can't tell how to blame me in his heart! However, he didn't inquire clearly about what he wanted to send, and his sister didn't like to eat that thing, really, why didn't he send something that his sister liked, papaya or something!
When she looked up again, King Yu had already left, and the Eighth Prince pulled her to follow, but at a distance. King Yu's steps are big, and their steps are small, but they are getting farther and farther.
Ah Wan looked at the three people around her, all of them were silent, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that you are afraid of King Yu!" ”
The faces of the three changed at the same time, and the Ten Princes shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm just ...... Don't be afraid of him! Merely...... The fourth brother is the fourth brother after all, and of course we have to be courteous to him. ”
Ah Wan deliberately looked behind him and said, "Huh? Why are you back again, my lord? ”
The Ten Princes turned around in shock, but they didn't see anything, Ah Wan had already laughed, and the Ten Princes' faces were blue and white for a while. The eighth prince smiled: "Okay, it's just a joke, let's go quickly, if we run into ...... later" Before he could speak, the twelve princes whispered to the back: "The second brother is here." ”
The second prince is the queen's concubine and has been named the crown prince. When you see the crown prince, you should do the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.
The tenth prince laughed and said: "Twelfth brother, don't try to lie to me, you can't learn from this little girl!" He only smiled, and the Twelve Princes bowed back.
The eighth prince and Ah Wan turned around, and sure enough, they saw the prince and the princess coming together, and hurriedly saluted, the face of the ten princes changed greatly, and before they could salute, the prince had already raised his hand and motioned for a few people to get up, and said with a straight look: "You guys are here, go in and sit, the father and the queen mother will be there in a while." When his eyes glanced at Shen Wan, he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.
The crown princess snorted coldly and asked, "Who is this little girl?" ”
The eighth prince bowed and said, "Back to the crown princess, this is the cousin of the younger brother." ”
The crown princess smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be the daughter of the prime minister!" No wonder it's so ......" She didn't say anything, just looked at Ah Wan and smiled.
Ah Wan was uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and the prince coughed lightly and said, "Let's go, don't let Concubine Rou wait for a long time." He went first, and everyone followed.
The eighth prince held Ah Wan's hand, clenched it unconsciously, and beads of sweat appeared in his palms. The crown prince looked at Ah Wan's gaze, which made him tremble.
