Chapter 257: Proposing

It wasn't until the sun was about to set in the afternoon that a few people went home.

Jiang Ruonan and the two children had already changed into the clothes brought by Zishan. Although Jin Shaokang didn't bring clothes, his clothes had dried after an afternoon. Although it was embarrassing to have just now, because of the deliberate avoidance of the two, it was not mentioned again.

Today, the children had a lot of fun, and on the way back, the children also said to Jiang Ruonan that they would often come out to play with their parents in the future. ”

Speaking of this matter, she raised her head and asked Jin Shaokang: "How is the matter that I mentioned to you last time that you asked you to ask the children to ask for a husband?" ”

Jin Shaokang said: "I have been contacted, and I will come to the Hou Mansion in a few days." ”

When the child heard that he couldn't go out to play with his father and mother in the future, he was very disappointed, and he lowered his head and was silent.

Jin Shaokang couldn't see that the children were sad, so he leaned over and put the children into his arms and comforted: "Don't be sad, so be it, wait for Mr. to come in a few days, you and Mr. study hard, as long as Mr. praises you for learning well, in the future, every New Year's Day, or your birthday, my mother and I will take you out to play."

The eyes of the two children suddenly lit up, and they said yes happily. Jiang Ruonan wanted to speak out against it, but seeing the happy appearance of the children, and afraid that his opposition would disappoint the children, which would affect the children's enthusiasm for learning, Jiang Ruonan was angry, raised his head and glared at Jin Shaokang fiercely.

Jin Shaokang hugged the children and didn't look at her, but kept smiling, 'showing' his white teeth.

When I returned to the princess's mansion, it was nearly dark. Jiang Ruonan asked Zishan to bring the children in first, and after the children left, he sank his face and said to Jin Shaokang: "Don't make decisions for me in the future"

"I just don't want to disappoint the children, and it's not too much to take them out to play a few times a year," Jin said. As it is today, it will not be discovered, and it will not provoke gossip. ”

He looked like he was wholeheartedly thinking about the children, so that Jiang Ruonan had nothing to say, she turned around and was about to get out of the car, when his deep voice came from behind her: "If you really don't like this, wait for two years and the children grow up, I will tell them in person, and I will tell them that everything is my fault...... But now that they're young and don't understand anything, let's let them live two years carefree."

Jiang Ruonan's heart was sour, she stopped for a while, and finally didn't look back, got out of the carriage, and entered the princess's mansion. Jin Shaokang looked at the slowly closing vermilion lacquer 'door', his heart was heavy, and he said to the coachman: "Go back to the Hou Mansion." ”

The coachman raised his long whip, and the carriage slowly left the princess's mansion.

In the following days, Jiang Ruonan did not see Jin Shaokang again, but learned from Zishan's mouth that the children's husband had gone to the Hou Mansion to formally teach them. From the mouths of the children, it can be seen that they respect that gentleman very much, and they are also very serious in learning.

But it didn't take long for the comfortable days to happen, and something happened that made her very angry.

On this day, she was teaching the 'female' disciples in the 'female' hospital, and suddenly, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite her.

Jiang Ruonan was very surprised, she went to Cining Palace every day to ask for peace, what was the urgency that made the Queen Mother summon her in such a hurry. Somehow, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

When I went to Cining Palace, I saw the queen chatting with the queen mother. Jiang Ruonan walked over and said hello to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

The queen smiled, "The queen mother is in a hurry, I originally said that it would not be too late to talk about this when you came tomorrow, but the queen mother was happy, she couldn't wait, and I wanted to call you at this time."

The Queen Mother smiled: "Happy events can't wait. As he spoke, he beckoned to Jiang Ruonan and asked Jiang Ruonan to sit beside her.

Jiang Ruonan's face remained unchanged, sat down beside the Queen Mother, and asked with a smile: "Happy event, what happy event, does it have anything to do with me?" ”

At this time, Aunt Ye brought tea and said with a smile: "Naturally it has something to do with the princess, just now the Duchess of Dingguo came to Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother, and mentioned one thing......" said and looked at the Queen Mother and smiled.

The Queen Mother smiled, she was in a good mood, she took Jiang Ruonan's hand, and then said: "The Duchess of Dingguo said that the Zuo Du asked her to propose to the mourning family, saying that she was interested in you."

Jiang Ruonan's heart sank, and then a stream of heat rushed straight into his brain,

This Zuo Bochang really dared to propose marriage to the Queen Mother, completely ignoring her thoughts

The queen was also very happy, she said with a smile on the side: "This is indeed a happy event, although Zuo Dudu was born in cloth, but he is young and promising, brave and good at fighting, he is in such a high position at a young age, and he was knighted some time ago, and he is highly valued by the emperor, and the princess is matching the queen mother, do you say?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded again and again, "What's even more rare is that there is no old man in Zuodu, no small in the bottom, and the Duchess of Dingguo said that he knows that Ruolan doesn't like her husband to take concubines, and he also promised that once she marries Ruolan, there will never be any other 'female' person. ”

Jiang Ruonan was a little panicked when she heard this, she clenched the hand of the Queen Mother, and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, you didn't promise it."

Seeing her so nervous, the smile on her face slowly retracted, she looked at Jiang Ruonan and asked, "This is your lifelong event, and the mourning family will naturally not accept it before I ask your opinion," she paused for a while, and then asked, "What, you don't want to?" ”

The queen's face on the side gradually turned cold.

"Queen Mother, Ruolan has already known Zuo Dudu, this person is rude, domineering, 'yin' ruthless, and looks down on 'female' people, the reason why he refuses to take a concubine is because he thinks 'female' people are troublesome, as long as there is a 'female' person who gives birth to a child for him and takes care of the housekeeper, it is a burden to do more......" Jiang Ruonan didn't know what to say for a while.

The Queen Mother was very puzzled: "No matter what his reason is, as long as he has a 'door' mind for you, it will be good for you to reconcile with An Yuanhou at the beginning, isn't it because An Yuanhou and other 'women' ......" She saw Ruolan's face change slightly when she heard this, so she didn't say any more. The queen next to her said lightly: "Zuo Du Du was born in Buyi, and his 'temperament' and demeanor are naturally not as good as An Yuanhou, who was born in Hou's 'door', but because of this, he doesn't pay attention to too many rules, and it is also easy for you, no one is perfect, how can it be so easy to be satisfied with everything."

Jiang Ruonan lowered his head, "Ruolan didn't think about finding a perfect person, but Ruolan really didn't want to marry Zuo Dudu, Ruolan...... Don't rush to get married......"

The queen first glanced at the queen mother, and then smiled: "The princess is not in a hurry to get married, but the princess is a princess, it is impossible to go on like this for the rest of her life, this is to cause gossip, the princess does not think about herself, but also for the sake of the queen mother and the emperor, I know that the princess does not want to marry, I don't know, I think the emperor and the queen mother don't care about the princess at all"

Jiang Ruonan's face turned slightly pale.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said to the queen: "The queen's words are too serious......"

The queen smiled: "The concubine is also anxious for a while, afraid that Ruolan will miss a good marriage." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The queen is busy with the draft during this time, and she is too '' to work, so it's better to go back to the palace to rest."

When the queen heard this, she stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for the queen mother's concern, as soon as the queen mother talked about it, the concubine remembered that there were still many things to deal with, and the concubine retired first" After speaking, she saluted the queen mother and slowly walked out of Cining Palace.

Jiang Ruonan glanced at the queen's back and said, "Has the draft started again?" ”

The Queen Mother sighed, "Yes, three years have passed. Then he said, "Don't take what the queen says, don't take it to heart." No one dared to gossip about the mourning family and the emperor. ”

Jiang Ruonan's heart was moved, and he gently snuggled up to the Queen Mother.

One day if she doesn't get married, the queen's heart can't be completely relaxed, but she has already missed it once, and she really doesn't want to make a mistake a second time.

Knowing that this person is not suitable for him, how can he marry him willingly? Yes, no one is perfect, she can not care about his rudeness, 'yin' ruthless, but she can't live for the rest of her life with someone who doesn't know how to respect herself at all.

"It's just that the mourning family looks at Zuo Dudu is really good, he can call the Duchess of Dingguo to propose marriage, which shows his sincerity to you" The Queen Mother has some words that are difficult to say, since Jiang Ruonan became the princess, there is only Zuo Dudu who has this meaning. She once invited the wife of the right person to the palace to talk, and faintly conveyed her intention to say goodbye to Ruolan, but no one responded, yes, Ruolan is just a righteous 'girl', and she has no strength background, and she has married someone, given birth to children, and she can't be lazy when she marries back to the house, these people are naturally unwilling. She is not easy to force, the melon that has never been twisted is not sweet, and when she is a hundred years later, Ruolan will be wronged.

But Zuo Dudu is different, he took the initiative to ask for marriage, he must be very fond of Ruolan, such good conditions, and promised to be dedicated to Ruolan, it is a pity to miss it.

"Queen Mother, he doesn't like me, it's just that he thinks I'm strong enough to be able to take charge of myself after marrying home, and I don't have to worry about him. He said it to me himself. Jiang Ruonan whispered.

The Queen Mother smiled: "This Zuo Dudu is really an interesting person, he can say it so bluntly, it can be seen that he is also a sincere person." I've heard that he's been through a lot of hardships, he hasn't read anything, he's straightforward, and he naturally won't say anything pleasing to people, but if you're willing to give him a chance, I'm sure he'll change slowly. So many people are interested in marrying him, but he doesn't agree, but he values you, which shows that he is different from you. ”

Jiang Ruonan just shook his head.

The Queen Mother turned her body and looked at her for a while, and then asked softly: "Ruolan, you were willing to give An Yuanhou a chance, have a round room with him, and stay in the Hou Mansion, why can't you give Zuo Dudu a chance today?" How do you know that Zodu will not change for you? ”

Jiang Ruonan shook his head: "This is a very hard process, and I have no strength." I'm happy with my life now and I don't plan to change it. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a while before she said: "Okay, the mourning family doesn't 'force' you, you think about it for a while, you really don't want to, the mourning family will talk to the Duchess of Dingguo." ”

Jiang Ruonan saw that the Queen Mother was so 'worried' about herself, and she was very upset, "Queen Mother, Ruolan disappointed you......"

The Queen Mother smiled: "As long as you are really happy, the mourning family will not be disappointed, and what the mourning family wants to see most is that you live happily." ”

Jiang Ruonan was moved and hugged the Queen Mother, and after the Queen Mother was stunned for a while, she also hugged her, patting her back while smiling dotingly, "This child ......"

After Jiang Ruonan left Cining Palace, the Queen Mother talked to Aunt Ye about it.

The Queen Mother asked her, "Ah Ye, what do you think of this?" ”

Aunt Ye said while helping the Queen Mother pinch her shoulder: "Ah Ye thinks that if the princess has the heart to marry, Zuo Dudu is an impeccable husband candidate, and it is impossible for the princess to refuse so simply."

"What do you mean......"

Ah Ye sighed: "I'm afraid that even if the best person comes to propose to the princess, the princess can find a reason to refuse, and the slave feels that the princess has never thought of marrying someone else."

The Queen Mother nodded, "How good Ruolan and An Yuanhou were at the beginning, during those days, she was so happy, every time she came to ask me to say goodbye, as soon as she talked about An Yuanhou, her eyes lit up...... "She also had this feeling when she was young, and after that, even if she was a mother in the world, she never tried that feeling, but that feeling was deeply implanted in her bone marrow, and she couldn't forget it even after so many years."

"But with Ruolan's 'sexual' personality, since she left in the first place, it is impossible to go back...... It's all the emperor's sin......" The queen mother was very sad.

Although neither the Queen Mother nor the Duchess of Dingguo publicized this matter, but somehow, Zuo Bochang's intention to marry Princess Heshun soon spread throughout the capital, and it became a topic of conversation for all dignitaries and nobles in the capital after tea and dinner.

The men didn't understand and talked about it secretly 'in private'

"Although Princess Heshun is a princess, she is a righteous 'girl' after all, except for the queen mother, she has no other background, and she is not a 'flower' and a moon, the country is 'beautiful' and fragrant, and she has also married and given birth to children. I really don't understand."

"It's like, what's the picture? Even if the princess's medical skills are good, you don't need to marry her home, do you? If you really want to ask her to see a doctor, it's not impossible to go around. I have to say that Zuo Dudu's vision is really special. ”

The 'female' people couldn't figure it out, especially those 'female' sons who once wanted to marry Zuo Dudu but were rejected by him.

"This Zuo Dudu is really funny, I don't want to put yellow 'flowers' and 'daughters', I want to marry a 'woman' who has been separated and be a cheap father."

"That's not an ordinary 'woman', it's a princess."

"It's not the real royal blood, all she relies on is the Queen Mother, and she waits until the Queen Mother...... Who cares about her at that time, I don't believe that Zuo Dudu can't understand this. ”

"And An Yuanhou too, after he recovered from his illness, many people wanted to marry him, but he refused, who doesn't know, he still thinks about that 'woman', what happened to these two men? What's so good about that 'woman'? ”

But if you don't understand it, you can't understand it, and you can only dare to talk about it in private, and you don't dare to 'show' the slightest disrespectful look in front of the parties. Because the Queen Mother didn't want to break off this 'door' family affair so quickly, there was no reaction for the time being, and everyone only regarded this matter as a certainty, after all, a 'woman' who had separated from her could still have such a good home, how could she refuse?

When the news reached the Hou Mansion, the first person to be anxious was Mrs. Tai, and she immediately called someone to call Jin Shaokang home.

"Master Hou, have you heard, Zuo Dudu intends to marry Ruolan"

Mrs. Tai's heart is sour, how can she still have such a good man to propose marriage to a divorced 'woman'?

Jin Shaokang had already heard about this matter, and he had been worrying about it all these days, and wanted to see Jiang Ruonan, but she had refused to see him since that outing.

"Master Hou, what if Ruolan agrees, she is the mother of the children, how can she marry another man? Do you want the two children to be called other men's fathers? Hou Ye has done so much for her, she didn't see it, and she has to marry another man, this 'female' person is really ruthless" Thinking that Jiang Ruonan was really going to marry someone else's family, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but remember her goodness, and tears fell unconsciously.

Jin Shaokang comforted his mother a few words, thinking about how to meet Jiang Ruonan.

On this day, Jiang Ruonan received an invitation from Jin Yanran and invited her to be a guest in the palace.

During this time, Jiang Ruonan was busy teaching the 'female' disciples, and Jin Yanran was busy gaining a foothold in the house, so the two have not been in touch, this time she received Jin Yanran's invitation, she also wanted to know if Jin Yanran was doing recently, and on the day of the appointment, Jiang Ruonan brought gifts and went to the 'door' on time.

Jin Yanran took several 'women' to the 'door' to greet her.

As soon as Jiang Ruonan saw her, he knew that she was doing very well now.

Jin Yanran gained a little weight, and her face was full of red, like a ripe peach. Jiang Ruonan took her hand and smiled, "I'm so happy to see you so good." ”

Such sincere words moved Jin Yanran so much that she was speechless for a while.

The 'female' son beside Jin Yanran saluted Jiang Ruonan, and after Jin Yanran's introduction, she learned that these four were King Ning's side concubines, but there were no 'attendant' concubines. Jiang Ruonan deliberately glanced at Concubine Jingxian, and saw that she was a little older than Jin Yanran, with clear eyebrows, gentle and demure, and she couldn't tell that she was a scheming person at all, no wonder she was able to deceive Jin Yanran back then.

Jin Yanran affectionately grabbed Jiang Ruonan's arm, welcomed her in, and said as she walked: "It's the first time the princess has come to the palace, I'll take you for a good walk later." ”

Jiang Ruonan smiled silently and followed her into the hall.

After drinking tea in the hall for a while and chatting for a while, Jin Yanran asked the four of them to step down, and she pulled Jiang Ruonan around again.

Along the way, while enjoying the scenery of the palace, I talked about these things.

"Don't look at the Jingxian concubine who is obedient to me on the surface, in fact, I am very unconvinced, I have found a lot of trouble these days" Jin Yanran snorted lightly, "She is still as good as I used to bully, now I have replaced all her people, sold them, sent them away, and made her a toothless tiger, I see how she still murders, she went to the prince to cry, but the prince is now facing me, where is he willing to listen to her, just say, the affairs of the inner house should have been my master, and now the people in the palace also know who is the real palace Female master, I finally survived" Speaking of this, Jin Yanran's eyes were red.

Jiang Ruonan was sincerely happy for her and patted her hands.

"Princess......" Jin Yanran suddenly stopped, her face was slightly red, and she stroked her abdomen with her left hand, "I'm pregnant." ”
