In the wing room of Rongshou Palace, Wanying didn't sleep well all night, and was napping in the Eight Immortal Chairs at the moment. Suddenly, there was a "beep" sound, which woke Wanying up from a trance, and it turned out to be a charcoal flower. Closed his eyes, and after a while, someone hurriedly knocked on the door and came in and said: "Master Shi Zhongyuan, now there is a girl waiting in the side hall on the west side of Cining Gate, the grace of the Queen Mother, the girl hurry up, there is still an hour before Master Shi will leave the palace." ”

After the eunuch finished speaking, he retreated outside the door and waited, and when she heard that it was her father, Wanying didn't care so much, so she grabbed a furry coat, put it on randomly, hurriedly followed the messenger, and walked quickly towards the Cining Gate.

Outside the Cining Gate, the eunuch who led the way stood outside against the door, and Wanying went in alone. Daddy sat there alone. Wan Ying saw her father, three steps and two steps to pounce, lying on her father's lap, her father had not yet gotten up, seeing Wan Ying like this, she quickly pulled Wan Ying up.

"Daddy......" Wanying wanted to say that Daddy invited the child to worship, but after calling out Daddy, she choked up, and couldn't say the rest of the words.

When Daddy saw Wanying crying, his eyes were also moist, and he pulled Wanying and said, "Child, my son." I've lost a lot of weight. The dampness in his eyes turned into a stream of tears.

Wanying looked at her father like this, and felt a little strange in her heart, seeing her father crying, it was because she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she missed it very much. And if Daddy is just missing, it seems to be a little different from the Daddy in my previous impression. Maybe Daddy still has Prince Qi Rong in his heart.

"The Queen Mother approved your relationship with Prince Rong."

Things went in the expected direction, but Wanying always felt that good things came too quickly and too suddenly, and she was always afraid that all this would come and go like a meteorite, and in the end there would be nothing.

"Dad, Qing'er always feels that all this is too easy."

When Daddy heard Wanying's words, he quickly looked around, and his index finger was on Wanying's mouth. Signaled Wanying not to speak casually, let alone speak loudly.

Daddy put it in Wanying's ear and asked Wanying, "Do you like Prince Rong?" ”

I was asked such a question by my father, all of a sudden. His face was red to the base of his neck, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at his father.

"Honestly, like it or not?" Daddy used the power of the dantian and asked Wanying in a low voice.

Wanying nodded. Daddy let out a sigh of relief and asked, "What about Prince Rong?" ”

Wanying looked at her father and said softly: "Hmm".

"In this way, it is also providential. Daddy knew it in his heart. ”

"Daddy, Qing'er heard it in a fog, this matter is related to Qing'er's life, and please tell Daddy."

"It's good to tell you, you've grown up, some things are hidden from you, and everything may not be beneficial, and now you know better than you don't know."

Wanying looked at her father, and her father pulled Wanying to sit on the chair farthest from the door, and said softly: "Daddy didn't want to tell you about the affairs of the court, but it's not what it used to be. Daddy said it. After a pause, "Do you remember the jewelry gifts you sent to Wu Anhou when you entered the palace?"

Wan Ying nodded. Daddy went on to say: "Daddy has been up and down in the sea all his life, and he doesn't seek to honor his ancestors and dignitaries, but only to protect the peace and security of the family in his lifetime." Above the court, it is now obscure and unclear, and the dark tide is surging. Wu Anhou doesn't seem to be favored by the emperor, but he has half of the soldiers and horses in the world, and he has the support of the queen mother, even if the emperor doesn't like it, it is not easy for the emperor to move to him for a while. ”

Outside the window, a few passing figures crossed the window paper, and Daddy's originally low tone became even lower, and the low Wanying was almost inaudible.

"The emperor has wooed his father several times, and he has issued a big order on his birthday this year, but in fact, it is all the eldest princess's plan, telling all parties that the emperor values the master's family so much, and people who don't know it think that his father must be the emperor's henchman."

Hearing this, Wan Ying was empowered, it turned out that there were so many battles hidden in a birthday banquet.

"As a courtier, he should be the emperor's hand and foot henchmen. However, the first layer of the father has the care of the family, and the second layer of arms can't reach the thighs, the emperor and the eldest princess just need to wait quietly, and one day, everything will be deserved. ”

Daddy said it vaguely, but Wanying also heard it, so she understood a little.

"Daddy just asked you, can you tell whether Prince Rong is sincere or false to you?"

Wanying was confused when asked: "What did Daddy say about this?" ”

"Liu Zhenshan, the commander of the Jingxi camp, was the deputy general of his father, and his father has been able to sit firmly in Shuntianfu Yin for many years, precisely because Liu Zhenshan is his father's person."

"What does this have to do with Wanying and Prince Rong?"

"Wu'anhou has shown favor to his father many times, his father is not far away, he respects each other like a guest, and his father is also the old department of Wu'anhou, but his father is the courtier of the emperor and the first emperor. In fact, my father knew in my heart that whether it was the emperor or the Empress Dowager Wu'an, what I cared about was not my father, but the 30,000 elite soldiers guarding the nine gates of the capital and the 60,000 Yulin army in the western camp of Beijing. ”

When Daddy talked about Wu'an Hou and the Queen Mother, a little strangeness flashed in his eyes, and Wanying immediately understood, thinking of hearing the argument between the emperor and the queen mother outside the gate of Cining Palace a few days ago. The heart is also clear: the emperor has always been dissatisfied with Wu Anhou, and Wu Anhou is the queen mother's confidant, in the final analysis, the emperor seems to be dissatisfied with the queen mother, and Wanying herself has heard the queen mother refute the emperor's request, it seems that the affairs in the palace are indeed complicated and multi-faceted.

Once the Xiao Wall disaster broke out, the situation was changing rapidly, and any troop dispatch would not be able to withstand the 90,000 horses in Daddy's hands. What's more, now that the wind and waves are calm, if the troops and horses are deployed in a big way, there may be drastic changes, so the emperor knows it in his heart, the Empress Dowager Wu'an Hou knows it in his heart, and his father knows it even more in his heart.

It's just that Wanying still doesn't understand what this has to do with her marriage.

Seeing that Wanying didn't understand, Master Shi continued: "Daddy is afraid, Wu Anhou can't win them over several times, and Wanyun is now the emperor's concubine, so I used Prince Rong to hit your attention." ”

Wanying suddenly realized, so it was, Daddy really thought deeply and had a deep mind.

"Daddy is saying that Wu Anhou can't win over, so Prince Rong pretended to show favor to Qing'er in order to make friends with Daddy?"

Daddy nodded worriedly. Waiting expectantly for Wanying's answer.

Wanying thought: It shouldn't be like this! When he and Prince Rong first met, Prince Rong didn't know who he was. I went to pick snow with Aunt Bitong, but Prince Rong didn't know that Aunt Bitong was definitely not a person of right and wrong, so he and Prince Rong just met by chance. Also, Wan Ying concluded that Prince Rong really cared about herself, and was not for the sake of calculation or co-optation, which could be seen from Prince Rong's eyes. And when gossiping, it can be seen that Prince Rong seems to be loyal to the emperor and has no second intentions. Thinking of this, my panicked heart calmed down.

Wanying looked at her father firmly and said, "Daddy, Prince Rong is not that kind of person, Prince Rong really likes Qing'er, Qing'er dares to conclude this." ”

"After all, Daddy has never seen the situation where you met, but Daddy believes in Qing'er."

"Daddy, Wanying believes that he really loves Wanying, and he is never trying to make friends with Daddy."

Daddy sighed softly again and said, "Got it." This is better, although Daddy is old, it can be seen that Prince Rong and the emperor have a deep brotherhood, I hope Daddy is too worried. Seeing that you can marry a good man, Daddy doesn't know how happy he is. ”

Wanying seemed to think of a better reason, and hurriedly said: "Daddy is confused, the concubine of the Wu'an Hou family is seeking Prince Rong's wife, and it is impossible for Wu Anhou to lose his daughter's future in order to make friends with his father......"

Master Shi smiled lovingly and said dotingly, "Little girl, what do you know? The real favor of Wu Anhou's family is the fourth aunt's wife, who is now Tong Zhaoyi's aunt. The lady of the main room is just an ornament. ”

"That's just like my father, I'm a husband who spoils my concubine, isn't it?"

"Hey, my dad has been getting old in the past few years, and the more I look at many things, the more I can't understand them. But there is one thing that Daddy knows best in his heart, Daddy hopes that Qing'er will be safe and smooth for you. ”

Daddy smiled when he said it, and Wanying knew: Daddy was worried about Wanying in his heart, and he was also happy for Wanying. Wan Ying poured a cup of tea and handed it to the teacher.

Master Shi took a sip, put it down, and said, "Daddy has something else to ask you?" ”

"Daddy, please speak, Qing'er knows everything."

"What's going on with General He?"

Wanying didn't know that her father would ask He Youan, and she was cramped for a while, and she didn't know where to start, so she decided to be sure, and asked her father: "Why did Daddy ask about He Youan?" ”

"Before General He's southern expedition, he once came to the house and talked to his father about your affairs, General He begged his father, after the triumph of the army, let his father agree to your marriage with him, but his father did not agree at that time, first, you are in the palace, and the marriage has been decided by his father, and second, General He also said that he would ask the emperor for advice after the triumph. General He was young and promising, and his father liked it very much, and he had been waiting for the south to win the battle, until the news came out from the palace a few days ago, and he didn't know about Prince Rong. ”

So that's the case, this He You'an is not only sending flowers and sending messages in the palace, but he has already gone to Wanying's house to propose marriage. Wanying was annoyed with He You'an, and the father then said; "Daddy, looking at your situation, also knows that General He is afraid that the shaved head is hot, but General He and Prince Rong are friends of life and death, you must sort out the things here, don't be unclear, your reputation is important, and the brotherhood with Prince Rong is also important."

"Qing'er knows, dad doesn't have to worry, General He's matter is General He's own mind, Qing'er has never done anything that violates the rules, as for him to propose marriage to our house, Qing'er doesn't know at all. Daddy rest assured, this matter, when he comes back from the victory, Qing'er will be clear. ”

"So dad doesn't have to worry anymore. Listening to the meaning of the Queen Mother, Prince Rong hopes to get married as soon as possible, and it is not suitable to get married in February of the first month, and he will get March at the earliest. After the year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is estimated to send you back to the house, and you will rest in the palace for some time. ”

Wanying is very happy, she will be able to see her mother soon, and from now until March, that is, two months, I really hope that the days will pass faster, faster.

Wan Ying and her father talked about some gossip in the house again, and an hour arrived unconsciously, the eunuch outside led her father out of the palace, Wan Ying stood under Cining's door, looked at her father's back, and disappeared behind one corner after another......
