Chapter 23: Jiaojiao
The official began, and the rest was a quarrel between the two sides. Some say that the battlefield is life and death, while others say that mercy is the purpose. After arguing for half an hour, the emperor spoke and asked Feng Hanchen what he thought.
Feng Hanchen bowed to the official and said, "Minister, I sincerely invite this lord to go to the border and experience the people's feelings." Don't take what you hear outside to the main hall and discuss it. ”
In a word, the civil officials were dumbfounded. The emperor rubbed the wrench in his hand, this Feng Hanchen was educated very well. Such accusations, without a single refutation, can control the situation in one sentence. It would be nice if this child were his prince. It's a pity that it's the prince, so it's not a good thing, but a bad thing.
After the spring banquet, the ladies packed up their things one after another and prepared to go home. It's just that some noblewomen have privately received notices that they are going to participate in the selection of concubines in two months, and they must stay in the capital for these two months to participate in unified training.
On the side of the border city, Jiaojiao was notified to stay. The princess also came to tell Jiaojiao a few words in person. The point is: you are going to participate in the selection of concubines, and the prince's palace will not stop you. If you can't choose it, someone from the Prince's Mansion will come to pick it up, and the princess will be in charge and find a good man to marry. If she is chosen, then she will have nothing to do with the border city in the future. The border city does not expect to rely on her Jiaojiao to work in the capital, and Jiaojiao does not expect that the border city will pave the way for her in the capital.
The words were all clear, and Jiaojiao kowtowed to the princess.
Anxin went to find Jiaojiao after the princess left. As for the day by the river outside the city, her memory is not very complete, she knows that she was drinking, and she was still drunk, and then chatted with Shizi's brother. Then I saw the injury of the son's brother, and then, it's gone! How she got back, I don't know at all. Anyway, I woke up in my own bed in the other courtyard.
"Jiaojiao, are you really going to stay and choose a concubine? Won't it be boring on my way back? ”
"Peace of mind." Jiaojiao smiled with the shyness of a little woman, "Actually, actually, it's good." ”
"Pretty good? Do you have a crush on any prince? ”
Jiaojiao smiled and nodded shyly.
"No, they're not as good as Shizi's brother, how can you like them?"
"The third prince, the third prince, he's very good."
"You like the third prince, that's it...... Come on! Although she is not optimistic about the third prince, she can only cheer for her friends with peace of mind.
On the side of the three princes, it is not very easy. Anxin was about to leave, and he left with Feng Hanchen. The decree of marriage has been officially issued, and the Ministry of Rites has also stepped up the process, and the gifts for Feng Hanchen and Ye Anxin's wedding have been packed and prepared for them to take away.
As a close confidant of the third prince, Lin Jun certainly knew what his master was worried about. As for Ye Anxin, that stupid woman, why is she so obsessed with the third prince? Lin Jun simply had a heart, and spent six hundred taels of silver to make an appointment for the ** night of the most famous dancer Rose in the famous flower pavilion in the capital. Six hundred taels of white flowers! I heard that Rose is the daughter of the tassel girl. In the past, I looked at the tassel girl who was very tall, claiming to be a performer and not a woman, look at how old this daughter is. That Rose Girl, maybe she didn't have any buds for a long time, but she just made such a reputation. However, look at Rose is also a big beauty, and the dancing is so charming. That's worth six hundred taels!
Three days later, the reward of the Ministry of Rites was finally packed, and eleven wagons of supplies were brought together before and after. plus the princess's, the three girls', and some of the luggage. The mighty carriage and horse team of Prince Feng's Mansion drove from the capital to the border city.
There was no Jiaojiao to chat, and Anxin wanted to go on horseback to chat with the prince's brother, but he was specially warned by the grandmother next to the princess that he was not allowed to get close to the prince. The princess was angry, and she was thinking about taking advantage of her son's growth to change the marriage to another person, who would have thought that when she came to the capital, the marriage decree was issued. The emperor also deliberately asked the Ministry of Rites to pick the nearest auspicious day, just two months later. There is no time to even let the princess do anything.
The peace of mind that was stuffy all the way and the grass grew quickly, and finally heard a little gossip when he was close to the last two days of the border city. Miss Wei was not feeling well and had been vomiting for the past two days. I thought it was motion sickness, but after the princess asked the medical officer with the team to check her pulse, she asked a small team of guards and her own personal grandmother to send Miss Wei back overnight.
Ye Anxin, who thought that Miss Wei was seriously ill, overheard the princess and the princess's brother say that Miss Wei was not motion sickness at all, but pregnant. In just a few days in the capital, Miss Wei actually hooked up with the eldest prince. Even if the Prince's Mansion has the ability to stuff her into the list of concubines, when the real concubines stand up, their stomachs will be big.
And Feng Hanchen replied to the princess: "Mother, you write a letter to your uncle and ask them to dispose of your cousin as soon as possible." Don't feel distressed at this time, or when he waits for the whole door to be slashed, he won't even have a chance to feel heartache. ”
"Hanchen, no matter what she says, it's your cousin. Dispose of the child and find a passable poor family to marry. ”
"It's a hidden danger after all. If she dared to do such a thing, she should have thought about the consequences. This time in the capital, if it weren't for Ye Anxin, the emperor estimated that he would have to leave his mother in the capital for the New Year. ”
Hostage! It's not that the princess doesn't understand. On the way back, her son had already found an opportunity to explain to her what Ye An'an was pretending to be stupid that day. Although I knew that it was wrong to misunderstand the girl and hit her mother. But she is a princess, so it is impossible to apologize to the two grandmothers. She was ruthless and agreed to her son's proposal.
And Feng Hanchen walked out of the princess's room and saw Ye Anxin who was about to slip away. The entire station was taken down by them. It's all their people inside and out. What is Ye Anxin's identity, everyone understands that she wants to come to find the prince, who would dare to stop her. That's why she eavesdropped on these words so smoothly.
"Peace of mind!" Feng Hanchen shouted at the sneaky back, and his sneaky movements froze suddenly. Slowly turned around and pulled a dry smile: "Brother Shizi is good." ”
"Why don't you give your opinion?"
"I, I'm okay! Two months later, I became the bride of Shizi's brother, and I didn't have any opinion at all. I'll be ready for the next two months. ”
"I'm asking, what you overheard." Feng Hanchen didn't shy away from this kind of thing, and Ye Anxin was relieved. After all, this matter, if it is really calculated, belongs to the affairs of the inner house. It was the princess who told him that he would give a suggestion. And Ye Anxin is different, the future princess, this kind of thing, sooner or later she will have to learn to deal with it herself.
"I, I didn't hear anything."
"That's it?"
Ye Anxin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Can you do it, don't have children, just let her marry someone else." ”
"I'll give you a lesson, and I'll go back and think about what my reason for proposing is. When I return to Zhuangzi, I will personally check your homework. Go back to your room! The disappointment in Feng Hanchen's heart was still revealed. Ye Anxin, she is still a girl who has never been in the world. What Mama taught her, she listened to and learned, but she didn't really experience it. That Zhuangzi's protection of her was too good, she didn't experience it, and she couldn't be ruthless after all.
