Chapter 59: Congratulatory Gifts

Would you like to?

It's not that they don't want to......

But this incident came too suddenly, and as the saying goes, Xiao Dong was not psychologically prepared at all.

She thought about who she would marry in the future, and compared them with candidates who were quite old and not bad. But each one, it seems, is missing something.

Just like Shen Jing, he is very good and perfect, but he is more like a work of art - Xiao Dong can't imagine what it would be like to lie on the same bed with him?

Probably she subconsciously didn't think of herself as an ancient.

Even if you talk and act, you do the same thing every day as the ancients, but some things engraved in your bones will not change.

Perhaps because of this, legend has it that people have to drink Meng Po soup before they are reincarnated. Let an ancient person go to the modern era, and let the modern person go back to the ancient times, it is best to forget all the previous life, so as not to be full of doubts, resistance and incompatibility with the new life.

Xiao Dong feels that she is extremely lucky, she has no worries about food and clothing in this part of her life, she is cared for by her father and brother, although there are palace battles and political storms, but she is still alive and well after all.

Xiao Dong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and someone came in with a lamp.

Tonight is the night when Hongjing is outside, but the lights and shadows flicker, and it is the Hu family who opens the tent.

"Mother Hu?"

Hu Shi took the tea tray and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Not asleep yet?"

"Mom didn't sleep either, huh?"

Shi poured the tea into the cup, and a warm sweet aroma spread: "Drink some hot tea, you can sleep better." ”

Xiao Dong nodded and picked up the teacup.

The room was quiet, and Xiao Dong took a sip of tea and tasted the sweet fragrance of dates and a smell of wheat.

Hu Shi whispered: "Do you remember the first time you entered the palace after you returned to the capital? ”

"Yes."

Very impressed.

"Actually, the Empress Dowager Shengde is not a very smart woman, but her mother's family is powerful."

Why did you suddenly mention the Empress Dowager Shotoku?

Xiao Dong looked at Hu Shi with some confusion.

"Although she has been in the palace for decades, she has not learned to be smart at all. Otherwise, her child would not be easily plotted, and she herself would not have ended up like that. ”

Xiao Dong listened in a daze.

"I served in the palace back then, but later the master was gracious, let me out of the palace, and pointed me out of a good family business. Unfortunately, when I was pregnant with the child, my husband died, and the child was born prematurely at seven months and lived only four days...... Later, when I came to the palace, I have treated you as if you were my own daughter all these years...... When the princess went, she asked the prince to promise one thing. ”

Xiao Dong whispered, "Yes...... My business? ”

"Yes, the princess implores the prince, don't marry you to the official family in the future, you can find someone who knows the cold and the hot, and treat you well wholeheartedly."

"The princess didn't break her body because of childbirth, it was the Empress Dowager Shengde who had already ordered someone to give her medicine, if she didn't give birth, she could still save her life, but if she got pregnant and gave birth, I was afraid that it would be difficult to save the lives of adults and children."

"Why?"

"Because at that time...... The princess lives in the palace and has a better relationship with the emperor-" Hu Shi said softly: "It is not the first time that the Empress Dowager Shengde has given this medicine to a woman in the palace. It's a pity that she only thought that she could drug others, but she didn't think that others could return her as it was. ”

Isn't the Empress Dowager Shotoku stimulated to go crazy?

Also...... If you want to go crazy, you will go crazy a long time ago, and after a few years of claustrophobia, you will suddenly go crazy......

Xiao Dong felt her hands tremble faintly, and she gently put the teacup down.

"At that time, the imperial doctor had pleaded many times, asking the princess not to get pregnant and give birth to children. At that time, the Empress Dowager Shengde also pointed out Concubine Ming's sister-in-law to the prince, and the queen also stuffed her henchmen into the palace......" Hu sighed: "The princess has been taking decoction, but for some reason, she is still pregnant, and the princess insists on giving birth to the child." ”

Xiao Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "So...... Mother she ......"

"yes, everybody didn't approve of it at the time." Hu said: "The prince really loves the princess, and he quit everything during that time and lived in the villa with the princess. It was snowing on the day the lord was born, so I waited outside, and with me two women, and finally the princess chose me...... The midwife handed me over to the county lord, wrapped in a pink swaddling cloth with a small face...... When I think about it now, I remember it as vividly as yesterday. ”

Hu touched Xiao Dong's hair: "In a blink of an eye, the county lord has grown so big, it's time to find his mother-in-law." I can't bear it...... Presumably, the prince and the prince are also in this mood. ”

Xiao Dong leaned on Hu's shoulder: "Then I won't marry, and I'll stay at home for the rest of my life." ”

Hu Shi smiled: "How can there be a girl who doesn't go out when she's too old?" On this day, the prince will definitely find a good family for the county lord. ”

Xiao Dong didn't say anything.

Is it Qin Lie that King An picked?

It should be said that it was Qin Lie's own opportunity to fight for it, right?

"Go to bed early." Hu Shi touched her head: "It may be colder tomorrow." ”

Probably the tea was really calming, and Xiaodong didn't lie down for long before he was vaguely sleepy.

Although he has lived for two lifetimes, it is the first time he wants to get married.

In her previous life, she hadn't been married yet-

What was Xiaodong like in the previous life?

It's not very pretty, it's not very cute, and standing in the crowd, it's never the most outstanding one. But the popularity is very good, and the number of quarrels with friends can be counted with a red face. All the way to school......

I've been in love too.

Maybe it can't be considered love.

What should love look like?

There was a person waiting for her after class, accustomed to having someone accompany her across the zebra crossing on the way to school, accustomed to having someone squeeze in front of her in the snack bar to queue up, and after the next night's self-study, the two secretly held hands in the corridor outside the classroom.

But in the end, the man turned and left.

Xiao Dong turned over and hugged the quilt.

The youthful relationship that happened when I was a student may have ended in a hurry before I had time to brew into love.

And this time, he didn't have time to fall in love, but he jumped to the part of getting married.

King An said that what matters is her will.

If she also likes Qin Lie, then all obstacles are not obstacles.

However, does she like Qin Lie?

Xiao Dong thought in a daze, do you like it?

In this day and age, a woman's will does not matter. Yao Jinfeng loves the third prince, but she can't marry him. And the others, and the others, are more likely to have never even seen their husbands before they got married.

Xiao Dong originally thought that his future would be the same-

Follow the path that everyone is going to follow.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The next day, Xiaodong's trance even Master Wu could see it, she was very careful when embroidering, but unfortunately the embroidery was in the wrong direction.

Master Wu was unceremonious and asked her to dismantle and reembroider it all. Xiao Dong obediently bowed his head to listen to the training, and then embroidered from the beginning.

It's just that, although this time she is seriously doing her work, she can't help but glance at the window in the spare time when she looks up.

She had so many questions.

However, before her birthday, Qin Lie shouldn't come again, right?

Thinking of his flushed face when he left, Xiao Dong's hand paused.

"County Lord?"

"Ah," Xiao Dong came back to his senses and asked, "Look here, if you want to embroider a circle, will it look uneven?" ”

"Well, don't circle here, slide through the bottom." Master Wu patiently demonstrated once: "Come, the county lord will try again." ”

Xiao Dong came here again: "Is that so?" ”

"Yes, exactly."

She had never felt that time passed so slowly, and the plum blossom chased her tail in circles around the corner of the table, because it was too cold to go outside the house, and was always circling in the house. Hongfu laughed: always go to the stove, be careful to burn bald hair and become a spotted cat, that's ugly.

Xiao Dong bent down and picked up the plum blossoms.

It's a bit heavy to start, this lazy cat can't just eat, and it's about to become a fat cat soon.

Xiao Dong buried her face in the soft fur of the plum blossom, and the tail of the plum blossom wagged and swept across her cheeks, a little itchy.

"County Lord, Shen Gongzi is here."

Xiao Dong raised his head: "He came alone?" Brother didn't come? ”

"Nope."

Xiao Dong put down the plum blossom and straightened the corner of his skirt: "Please let him in." ”

Shen Jing has already asked for leave to go back to Hedong, and his family affairs will be next month. Xiaodong and they couldn't go over to congratulate them, so the congratulatory gifts were prepared early and sent over.

Shen Jing is about to leave in the next two days, and I don't know what happened when I came over at this time.

Shen Jing didn't go around in circles, he took out a scroll from his sleeve: "There is something, I want to ask Sister Xiaodong for help." ”

Xiao Dong's gaze fell on the scroll, and he asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Next month, the fifth princess will get married, and I will not be in the capital at that time, please ...... for me Give it to her. ”

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment: "To the fifth princess?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Jing held the scroll in both hands, Xiao Dong hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it.

"Any other words?"

Shen Jing shook her head. His expression was calm and calm: "No." ”

"Is my cousin leaving tomorrow?"

"yes."

Xiao Dong sent him to the door and watched Shen Jing walk away.

The scroll was obviously light and fluttering, but it felt heavy in my hand.

What is written in the scroll?

Maybe what are the goodbye words?

Or maybe it's just an ordinary congratulatory message? After all, Shen Jing is a famous talent, many people name him, and always say that he doesn't want to be next to him, just a word, a word. Shen Sangongzi's talent and fame are not boasted.

Xiao Dong instructed Hongjing to find a box to come out and hold the scrolls, and Hongjing brought two: "Which one does the county lord see is suitable?" ”

One box is glazed with lotus flowers, and the other is ......

"Where did you get this?"

"From the cupboard."

This is still the makeup box that Zhao Zhi gave her, and she brought a set over at that time, Xiao Dong saw that she also loved this set of boxes, so she only kept one of them, and returned the others to her.

Xiao Dong gently touched the box: "Put this away." ”

I found a little mistake when I posted it just now, but now it's been corrected.

In other words, some relatives left a message expressing their disappointment......

I'm sorry, but ...... But...... Twist, I still like to be willing to be plain stories.
