Chapter 324: Breaking the Marriage
The atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting stronger and stronger, the night market has vendors booked stalls in advance, starting from the fifth day of the first month, a night of a trick, selling the sugar rabbit, the clay man pinched Chang'e, the fragrant osmanthus bracelet, Chang'e running to the moon kite, Guanghan Palace lyrics. m.
The most popular is a jade rabbit moon hairpin of the same style worn by Miss Ruan Jiasan.
It is not genuine, but it is widely worn, and it has become a trend in Beijing for a while.
It is rumored that this hairpin has made Miss Ruan San's illness dissipate, and her face is more beautiful and moving than before.
"It's a pity that only women can wear such hairpins."
King Han was dressed in a regular suit, and the crowd behind him was surging, holding a jade rabbit carved from ordinary jade and holding a moon hairpin and sighing.
"His illness made even his father and queen mother sad...... Although this king rarely interacts with Qingping's nephew, he is thinking about him in his heart. ”
Xu Yuan took the hairpin handed by the King of Han, put it back on the stall covered with flannel, and proposed: "The minister thinks that the prince can take this opportunity to take a trip to the Chengping Palace." ”
The flickering light swept across King Han's frowning brows.
"This is not good, Qingping's nephew is sick, Chengping and his wife are already sad in their hearts, won't this king add to their blockage when he goes."
Adding blockage to people, King Han likes it more. But the premise is that if you are sick by your nephew, it will become a matter of stealing chickens and rice, and it is better not to go.
"The prince thinks so much about the prince and the princess of Chengping, how can the lower officials not know."
The furrow between King Han's eyebrows is deeper, and the new champion he picked out by his father is really eloquent and literate, but sometimes he doesn't understand the champion's way of thinking about things.
"Since you know, why do you want this king to do something mindless, to make a bad impression at his father and queen mother, and to be bored with Chengping and his wife."
Xu Yuan rubbed his index knuckles, "Xiaguan promised the prince that as long as you go to the Chengping Palace to visit the prince and comfort the princess by the way, the emperor will definitely look at you differently!" ”
I want to visit that sick seedling!
King Han took a step back, "Isn't it okay for this king to send his cronies?" ”
Xu Yuan's voice was a little higher, "Lord Wang, today the spies sent back the news that the King of Qi sent a snow lotus to the prince!" ”
"This king gave a hundred-year-old ginseng, the medicinal effect is the same, and no one loses."
"Does the prince know who sent the snow lotus?"
"Who?" King Han asked absentmindedly, and casually took a piece of jade from the merchant's hand and played with it.
Xu Yuan took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said very solemnly: "Princess Qi." ”
"What kind of person is Princess Qi, it is impossible for you not to hear of it, among all the prince's mansions that have been established, the only daughter-in-law who is most favored by the emperor and the queen is her."
When King Han heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and the idea of shopping suddenly disappeared.
"Go home, prepare a gift!"
……
At lunchtime, the atmosphere at the dinner table of Shoufu's family was a little heavy.
"King Chengping has been weak since he was a child, so he only has a son and a daughter, and now the prince of Chengping is critically ill, and the prince is afraid that the old disease will recur."
Chen Buhou finished eating a mouthful of food and couldn't help but sigh.
The mother and daughter of the Cao family usually eat in their respective courtyards, and today Chen Buhou specially called them to the front hall to hear their opinions.
"I'm going to visit King Chengping, but for what reason?"
His identity is too special.
Originally, he was a student of the former prince's staff, but because the new emperor ascended the throne in the first year of Chengkang, he stepped into the position of the first assistant and stood on the side of the new emperor.
Now that I want to go to see the son of the old master, I have a lot to worry about.
Chen Mian put down the dishes and chopsticks, "The son thinks that his father should wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly before the emperor's dictation arrives." ”
Cao Qin also meant the same, but she was worried about how sick Li Qingping was, so she didn't speak.
"Since you all think so, I'll wait."
The steward hurried in: "Master, the latest news from the Chengping Palace, the prince is going to marry a wife." ”
Everyone was stunned.
The first to react was Chen Mian: "Which lady to marry?" ”
"It's not decided yet, it's recruiting relatives, King Chengping and the princess said that there is no limit to the family."
Cao Qin's mother, Chen, said: "With such eagerness, it seems that the days of the son are numbered." ”
The steward said again: "Just now Miss Ruan San's maid came, and the servant asked more, now with the old ginseng and snow lotus, he can still walk around on the ground, but his complexion is not as good as before." ”
Ah Nuan picked up the silver chopsticks that fell to the ground.
Chen glanced at Cao Qin, "What's wrong with you lately, you're always absent-minded?" ”
Cao Qin had tears in her eyes, first looked at her uncle Chen Buhou, who also cared for her, then at Chen Mian, fell on Chen's shoulder and cried: "The prince of Chengping is ...... for me."
"What the hell, you kid!"
Cao asked Ah Nuan to speak.
Ah Nuan told the cause and effect in a few words, but she saw it, and the rest of the inside story was not clear.
Chen Buhou thumped his leg.
"Daddy." Chen Mian held his hand and shook his head without a trace.
Chen Buhou sighed secretly, and then asked Cao Qin: "Qinqin, what are your plans, since you are willing to tell us this, you must have a plan in your heart." ”
Chen's heart sank, pushed Cao Qin up, and asked with an anxious face: "Daughter, you tell the truth to your mother, don't think about doing stupid things!" ”
Cao Qin wiped away his tears, and his eyes flashed again over the elders who cared for him in every way.
"Mother, uncle, cousin, I want to marry the prince of Chengping!"
Really...... Chen's shoulders were crooked, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted.
Chen Buhou immediately put his arms around his sister and pinched her hard, and after a while, Chen came to consciousness.
"Mother, my daughter is not filial!"
Cao Qin left the soft pier, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and his tone was very resolute.
"Prince Chengping's family treats me kindly, and the princess treats me and Miss Qingchi equally, and never looks down on me because I am a businesswoman. Now that his daughter has caused the son of the world to fall into the water, he will soon pass away, if he dies, what face does his daughter have to live in this world, facing the prince and princess of Chengping? ”
Although he felt extremely heartbroken about Cao Qin's decision, Chen Buhou couldn't help but praise his niece in his heart for being responsible.
"Qinqin, you can think about it, when you marry into the palace, what awaits you in the future will be a long time of emptiness and loneliness."
"Brother!" Chen interrupted Chen Buhou, hating why her husband was not around at this time and went to do the business of Raushzi.
If her daughter wants to marry someone who is about to die, how can she be willing to do it!
If she can, she is willing to serve the prince's family as a cow and a horse, and she doesn't want to push her daughter into the fire pit, which is the meat of her heart and the treasure in her palm that she has worked so hard to raise.
"Mother, mother......"
Cao Qin cried out in a hoarse voice and fell on Chen's lap, tears soaking her skirt.
"If I can't repay the mistakes I made, my daughter will marry a good family in the future, and she will be unstable for the rest of her life!"
