Chapter 95
According to the previous arrangement, Xiao Qi was in charge of the hundred officials of the previous dynasty, and Xiao Han went to the female dependents, and there were several county lords and county lords on the female family's side, and the rest were the women who had orders in their bodies, and the daughters of the officials in Beijing above the five grades.
I don't know if it's Xiao Han's illusion this time, she always feels that many noble girls are dressed up very gorgeously, and there is a little shyness in her eyes.
After Xiao Han sat down, she announced the opening of the banquet, the female dependents were not so restrained as the hundred officials, she said a few words with a smile on her face, and then served the wine cup, and the atmosphere became extremely warm for a while.
The families also began to communicate with each other, and one of the county lords smiled and flattered her, and Xiao Han took it all.
After talking for a while, the county lord finally got to the point, and her face was sad: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now seventeen years old, and I don't know what His Majesty thinks, so far I haven't given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a candidate for a concubine, and I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince's vision is too high, or I haven't met the woman I like!" ”
Xiao Han was quite surprised, looking at the daughters of the boudoir who were more delicate than the flowers, he vaguely understood why they were dressed up like this today. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty must have considered this matter by himself, and this palace doesn't know its deep meaning." ”
Seeing that Xiao Han didn't pick up, the county lord smiled, and didn't continue to talk about it, which can be regarded as the end of the point.
However, this matter set off a little wave in Xiao Han's heart, Xiao Qi is already seventeen years old this year, even if he does not marry the concubine, he should set a suitable candidate and let the Ministry of Rites start to raise it.
It is a very solemn matter for the prince to marry the crown princess, after all, the prince is the prince of the country, and the princess is the future mother of the country, from the selection of candidates to the marriage, three years is not much.
After all, the crown princess also has to receive a certain etiquette education and some knowledge, and the crown princess can't be an embroidered pillow.
If she hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought of this aspect, and as soon as she was reminded, Xiao Han felt that the emperor's uncle was indeed very indifferent to the prince.
She wondered if she should find an opportunity to remind the emperor's uncle, after all, the emperor's uncle's health is not very good, and this matter should indeed be put on the agenda.
Thinking about this, she was naturally a little absent-minded, and naturally she didn't hear anyone call her. It was still the reminder of Hongxiu beside her that made her come back to her senses, and she understood that she was a little out of shape, she smiled and said: "The amount of alcohol in this palace is not good, I hope you will forgive me." ”
The rest of the people naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they could only echo with a smile: "It's okay, Your Highness still has to work on state affairs, and your body is the most important." ”
Xiao Han smiled: "This palace was unwell just now, and I didn't hear it clearly, Madam might as well say it again?" ”
One of the county lords got up and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is 'outstanding', and the younger daughter's family is full of longing, and they want to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and I don't know if it's convenient." ”
Unexpectedly, it was for this reason, Xiao Han was quite surprised, but she thought about it a little and found that this was an opportunity for Xiao Qi to contact the rest of the women, she replied with a smile: "What's inconvenient about this, Hongxiu, go and call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over, it's the palace that invites." ”
"It's... What should the officials do? Hongxiu asked in a low voice.
Xiao Han said with a smile: "It's just to come and stay for a while, don't worry." ”
Hongxiu saw that her master had said this, and in desperation, she had to take the order to leave and go to the front to call His Royal Highness the Prince.
Baiguan saw the palace maid beside the princess whisper a few words to the prince, and the prince got up to find a excuse and left the seat.
However, they could probably guess the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in their hearts, and no one said anything, but continued to push the cup and change the lamp.
When Xiao Qi heard Hongxiu say that Xiao Han was looking for him, she thought that she was unwell, so she called him over, and felt that Xiao Han was very dependent on him, and she was quite happy in her heart.
When he got there, he found that Xiao Han was fine and there was nothing unusual, and he was quite puzzled.
As soon as Xiao Qi came, she immediately got up, and when she got up, the rest of the ladies naturally got up and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Okay, you don't have to be polite today, let's be even." Xiao Qi waved his hand and said.
Xiao Qi asked in a low voice, "Sister Han asked Gu to come, what is the so-called matter?" ”
When he really came, she felt that it seemed that it was not good to call Xiao Yan like this, but he had already come, and it was not appropriate to let him go back.
She lowered her voice and said, "I called you here to let you see if there is a favorite among these noble daughters of the family." You're not too young now, it's time to choose the crown princess. Just take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look at each other! ”
Hearing her words, Xiao Qi's face instantly became extremely gloomy, he didn't say a word, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Xiao Han didn't even have time to speak, he could only see the back of him leaving, confused, and didn't understand why he was angry again.
But now there are still female dependents to be entertained, so she can only send Hongxiu to watch the prince and see if he continues to go to the banquet.
It didn't take long for Hongxiu to come back and report: "Princess Qiyu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now back in Zhengyang Hall and is receiving hundreds of officials. His Royal Highness was in a bad mood and drank a lot of wine. ”
When she heard this, although she was worried, she couldn't go immediately, so she had to entertain these ladies with a stomach full of thoughts.
These female dependents, seeing the scene just now, had their own thoughts, but when they faced Xiao Han, they did not show the slightest.
The banquet was in such an atmosphere, and it continued to the end, Xiao Han was almost accompanied, so she got up and left the banquet with 'physical discomfort', and returned to Huanxi Building, but she still sent someone to keep an eye on the prince, afraid that he would drink too much wine and something would happen.
Xiao Han had just changed into clean and comfortable bedclothes, and was about to go to bed after drying his hair, when he saw Hongxiu's anxious voice outside: "Your Highness, the princess is resting, what do you have to do to come back tomorrow." Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you really can't go any further! ”
"Get out of the way! If you want to see her, you all get out of the way, or else you will cut off your head..."Xiao Qi's drunken voice came from outside.
Xiao Han was full of helplessness, but she couldn't let him make trouble outside her bedroom like this, if it was spread outside, people outside wouldn't know how to talk about the relationship between them!
As a last resort, she had to say aloud: "Hongxiu, let the prince come in." ”
"But—" Hongxiu was obviously a little reluctant.
Xiao Han naturally understood Hongxiu's concerns, and she said softly: "It's okay, just let His Highness in." ”
Since the master ordered, no matter how reluctant Hongxiu was, she could only helplessly let go of her body and let the prince in.
Xiao Qi was full of drunkenness and pushed open the door of the dormitory, and closed the door casually, blocking all sight.
Xiao Han saw Xiao Yan, who was full of alcohol, frowned and said with a displeased face: "Why did the prince drink so much today?" ”
Hearing her call herself 'His Royal Highness the Prince', Xiao Yan's heart was even more angry, he didn't understand that these days, he felt that he had done something very obviously, but she didn't seem to see it, and there was no response. That's it, he knows that he can't be in a hurry, and he plans to take his time.
However, after today's incident, she had to stuff him with a woman, which made him unable to continue pressing. He was afraid that if he continued to endure it, Xiao Han would directly stuff him with people!
In addition, he did drink a lot of wine today, so he came to Xiao Han with the strength of the wine, wanting to explain everything. If she doesn't agree, he can still use the excuse of 'drunkenness' and a chance to take a step back.
Looking at Xiao Han in front of him, who was wearing a white bedclothes, long hair and a shawl, and a beautiful figure, Xiao Yan's mind was confused, and with the feeling of alcohol, he almost forgot what he was going to say.
Xiao Han was puzzled: "Why did you come to me?" ”
Xiao Qi suddenly said: "Sister Han, I am pleased with you..."
After blurting out, Xiao Qi realized what he had said, and he didn't want to take it back, so he stared at Xiao Han with anxiety in his heart, wanting to see how she reacted.
When he heard Xiao Qi say those words, Xiao Han was stunned and didn't react for a long time, but when he calmed down and thought about it, it seemed to be reasonable again. After all, Xiao Qi didn't particularly hide her feelings, she had already noticed it to some extent, but she was just instinctively escaping.
It's just that she didn't expect him to suddenly pick it out at such a time, which made her feel quite tricky. But if you say it's annoying, it doesn't seem to be, but I just think that their relationship shouldn't be like this.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Xiao Qi couldn't sit still: "Sister Han, you should give a reaction!" ”
Xiao Han seemed to wake up suddenly, and said angrily: "What do you want me to give you a reaction, let me tell you, you better break this thought as soon as possible!" Since the emperor's uncle has named me a princess, and we have the same surname as 'Xiao', this is impossible! ”
Xiao Qi was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Although my father named you a 'princess', he didn't say that he recognized you under his knees, that is, you are still the child of the emperor's aunt." As for the surname, although we have the same surname 'Xiao', we are far apart in blood, which is not a difficult thing. Although it is possible that the DPRK and the Chinese government may oppose it, I believe that this is not an irresolvable contradiction for us. I just want to know, remove these things, what is really in your heart! ”
"What do I really think? Does it still matter? Xiao Han couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Why doesn't it matter, I just want to know what the hell is going on in your own heart!" Xiao Qi said with a serious expression.
Xiao Han said helplessly: "I have always treated you as a younger brother, and naturally I have no other thoughts about you." Otherwise, I wouldn't let you see the crown princess today..."
This can be said to be very straightforward, but Xiao Qi looked stubborn: "I don't believe it, Sister Han, you lied to me, right?" ”
But Xiao Han's silence told him that her words were sincere, although Xiao Yan was disappointed and sad, he didn't give up, if he could give up so easily, then his feelings would be too cheap.
The reason why he asked Xiao Han was that he had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, but he didn't want to completely pierce this layer of window paper, only by doing so could he change the relationship between them!
Xiao Yan stepped forward a few steps, and while Xiao Han had not yet reacted, he hugged her and said, "Sister Han, one day, I will prove that your feelings for me are by no means family affection!" ”
After saying that, he strode away, after Xiao Han reacted, the roots of his ears were going to be red, he didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so bold! Thinking of the meaning of his words just now, he was a little helpless, and he always felt that the child was getting older and became more and more rebellious.
Falling asleep with a complicated mood, Xiao Han had a bizarre dream this night, in the dream, she actually married Xiao Qi, and she also looked at Xiao Qi with a shy look, just when she was waiting for the candles in the cave room, she suddenly woke up, looked around, and was still familiar with the dormitory, which made her completely come back to her senses and know that it was just a dream she had.
After reacting, Xiao Han was ashamed and annoyed, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's sudden confession, how could she have such a shameful dream!
Because of last night's dream, Xiao Han's whole person was in an absent-minded state, and he didn't even hear what Hongxiu said. She originally wanted to go to Changchun Palace, but was reminded by Hongxiu: "Master, rest for three days after the spring banquet." ”
After Hongxiu's reminder, Xiao Han remembered that there was this rule, and thanks to this rule, at least she didn't have to see Xiao Yan these days, and she could think quietly about how to face her in the future.
Thinking that since it was Xiu Mu, it was just right to go back to the princess's mansion, after all, most of the secret guards still stayed in the princess's mansion, and it would be more appropriate to go where to do some things!
The news of Xiao Han's departure from the palace naturally quickly reached Xiao Yan's ears, and he smiled slightly: "Sister Han, if you want to let go alone, it is absolutely impossible!" ”
However, he also knows that he can't push people too hard, and he must know that 'rabbits bite when they are in a hurry', not to mention that Xiao Han is not a rabbit, if he is despised, it is easy to be counterattacked.
Xiao Han, who had already left the palace, didn't know Xiao Yan's thoughts, and after the carriage arrived at the princess's mansion, she got out of the carriage and entered the princess's mansion.
Liu Xing received the news of the princess's return home, put down the things in his hand and hurried to greet him. After seeing Xiao Han, he immediately saluted: "The slave has seen the master, please say hello to the master." ”
Xiao Han waved his hand: "Okay, there is no need to be so polite, what happened in the princess's mansion during this time?" ”
Liu Xing shook his head: "Back to the master, the house is very calm during this time, and there is nothing unusual. ”
Xiao Han nodded: "This is the best, if there is a post, I will give it back to the palace, and the tone must be tactful, don't offend people." ”
"No, don't worry, master, the slave understands." Liu Xing replied.
Xiao Han has always been relieved about Liu Xing's handling skills, otherwise he would not entrust the huge princess mansion to Liu Xing to take care of. It was because she believed that he could handle it well that she dared to entrust it, otherwise even if she trusted Liu Xing, she would not have made such a choice. Especially, now that she is sensitive in the DPRK, the people below should be more sensible!
