Chapter 66: My mother wants to get married
Concubine Chen was hesitant and hesitant, and said: "Your Majesty, King Jin is acting safely and can be trusted by the emperor, but this palace maid is ......."
"I agree. An Ronghua immediately changed his words.
"In that case, I will draw up my purpose immediately. ”
An Ronghua glanced at Concubine Chen, with a high posture that would always be proud of her.
"Still, I have one more thing to ask for. An Ronghua had a whim.
"What's the matter?" Xia Bingwen always had a bad premonition.
"I hope that the emperor will allow me to help Princess Ying choose a concubine, and that I can choose a wishful husband for myself among all talents. ”
An Ronghua's words shocked the people present, and Concubine Chen was the first to disagree.
"This slave and maid simply don't know what to say, in the palace, how can you talk nonsense in front of the emperor!"
"In this case, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Xia Bingwen glanced at Xia Huaijin.
"It's a big deal, I promise not to rob the princess of what she likes. An Ronghua said capriciously and lightly.
"Ridiculous!"
Xia Bingwen rejected An Ronghua's unreasonable request and told her to choose a horse for Princess Ying, but after the horse was selected, her request could be done differently.
Concubine Chen's wish was fulfilled, but the existence of the valley girl made her dissatisfied.
"Everyone ran out of the palace and went happy, and left a palace maid to come down and want to harm my Xuan'er, don't think about it!"
Xia Huaijin also left the palace, and An Ronghua stayed in the palace and sat still.
"Gu Nu, who gave you such a bold son to dare to resist me in front of the court?" Xia Bingwen tried to say angrily.
"What do you mean, why do you have to push me to work with Xia Huaijin?" An Ronghua was clearly angry, and he was even more fearless in private.
"I think that the two of you will cooperate to get twice the result with half the effort, and I didn't do what he thought. "Xia Bingwen is not good at lying.
"But there is no other better arrangement for this matter, if you let the confused woman of Concubine Chen be responsible, I am afraid that even if there is no hope for the happiness of Ying'er's life, I will have to go out in person. ”
Xia Bingwen couldn't help but see another familiar shadow in Gu Nu.
"Did I make the right decision?"
"You're thoughtful. ”
After leaving the palace, An Ronghua seemed to part ways with Xia Huaijin, but he didn't stop thinking about it for a moment, but his mind was really calm.
It was still a while before the talents of the states and counties entered the imperial capital, but their portraits were sent to the palace first. An Ronghua and Xia Bingwen looked at the paintings and discussed them.
"Han Min, the prince of Xizhou County, looks like a talent, and Yushu is in the wind. An Ronghua held up the portrait and praised it.
"I'll take a look. Xia Bingwen took a look at the portrait and couldn't help but confess, "Sure enough, he is a talent, a little similar to Uncle Wang when he was young." ”
"Nonsense, doesn't it look like it at all?" Although An Ronghua denied it, it was said by Xia Bingwen.
"You fell in love with this Han Min so quickly?" Xia Bingwen asked.
"I just think the appearance is not bad, and the choice of a colt is naturally not just based on appearance. An Ronghua was serious.
"I thought you were picking a wishful man for yourself. ”
"It's going to rain this day, my mother is going to get married, and you still ......" An Ronghua stopped in time and turned to him, "Han Min does look good."
Xia Bingwen heard the sentence "My mother wants to get married" inexplicably, but he felt that Gu Nu clearly cared about Xia Huaijin, and he noticed her sneaking peeps at Xia Huaijin several times.
"Actually, I think, why bother to choose Ruyi Langjun from these princes, these days of getting along, I think you are quite good, it is better to stay in the palace forever, and be my queen. Xia Bingwen said seriously, "Isn't I more noble and powerful than them, and my temperament and appearance are not bad." ”
An Ronghua was so frightened that the three souls lost seven souls, she really died, she would never have thought that there would be such a day, and her son would make such a devastating request to herself.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll tell you, how can we be together, we can't be together!" An Ronghua was incomprehensibly excited.
"Why, if you are worried about your origin, I can let the powerful people in the DPRK and China adopt you as an adopted daughter. ”
"Shut up, don't talk about this anymore, we definitely can't be together!"
"Why are you so excited, don't you ......?"
"We are related by blood!"
Xia Bingwen was suddenly shocked, he could still have an unexpected gain.
"Blood relationship?"
An Ronghua's words have come to this, and now if Xia Bingwen has illusions about himself, it is absolutely impossible to destroy him.
"Yes, we are related by blood, in fact, I, I am yours, your little aunt!" An Ronghua nervously made up.
"Is this true?" Xia Bingwen was taken aback.
"This matter is a secret, only God knows that your grandfather and your mother know, and now you also know, but I told you for the sake of your honesty since childhood, you must rot in your heart, and you must not reveal it, especially not to your grandfather's family, otherwise the family will change!" An Ronghua's face was extremely serious.
"Really?"
"How dare I lie to the emperor, I am really your grandfather's daughter!" An Ronghua did not lie, she was indeed the daughter of Xia Bingwen's grandfather.
"No wonder, from time to time, I feel that you have a resemblance to the queen mother. Xia Bingwen was convinced, and everything about Gu Nu was also explained.
"So you know you can't be tempted by your little aunt!" An Ronghua reminded again.
"I just wanted to make a joke with you, thinking that I could force you to tell your heart for Uncle Wang, but I didn't expect your life experience to be like this!"
An Ronghua understood that he was too excited, but the wood was already in the boat, but it was not bad in this way, and in the future, he would be Xia Bingwen's aunt, and he could enjoy his filial piety honestly.
"Now that you know my identity, are you facing your Uncle Wang, or are you facing my aunt?" An Ronghua said to Xia Bingwen.
"That's a matter between your elders, since I'm a junior, it's better not to commit any offenses. Xia Bingwen escaped smoothly.
"How can you kid learn to flamboy!" An Ronghua said helplessly.
There was an extra little aunt for no reason, but Xia Bingwen also gladly accepted it, after all, he already had a little uncle who was younger than himself.
Another happy event was introduced into the palace, Xie Jinshu and the prince of Pingjing Hou Shizi had been married, and an invitation was handed to the emperor. Xia Bingwen regarded Gu Nu as family, so he also told her.
"This An Rongyi is really out of time, so soon to send out the brocade book!" An Ronghua was surprised when he learned about it.
"Xie Mansion and Pingjing Hou Mansion are world friends, I saw Hou Ye Shizi when I was a child, he likes to be with Jinshu very much, and the two are also childhood sweethearts, and eventually become a family. Xia Bingwen was pleased.
"I see, it's Empress An Rongyi's dream that has failed again, and she wants to seize the opportunity to find a son-in-law with a prominent family, so as not to be robbed by others. An Ronghua speculated confidently.
"Your evaluation of the second aunt is exactly the same as that of the queen mother, and she really deserves to be my little aunt. Xia Bingwen couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's be honest, but she doesn't have much of a flaw other than being competitive and vain. An Ronghua commented pertinently.
"When the time comes, will you go to my cousin's wedding with me?"
"Naturally, I want to go, I can't wait for your wedding, so I have to attend a niece's wedding first. An Ronghua was sincerely happy.
"Your aunt is not married, what am I anxious about?" Xia Bingwen was very relieved.
"But the matter of the establishment of the future, it really can't be delayed, do you have a count in your heart?" An Ronghua became worried again.
"I ...... It would be nice if the queen mother was here, anyway, if she could make a decision for me......"
"This is your own life's event, among the previous beauties, there is really no one you like?"
An Ronghua asked seriously, and suddenly reacted, she had never asked if Xia Bingwen liked other women outside of this.
"You tell your little aunt the truth, do you have a girl you like in your heart?" An Ronghua asked with the curiosity of his peers and the questioning of his elders.
"I have always lived in the palace......"
"Could it be which palace maid?" An Ronghua looked serious.
"Nope. ”
"After so many years, is there really no woman who can enter your eyes and your heart?" An Ronghua couldn't help but worry that Xia Bingwen had a problem in his heart.
Xia Bingwen thought about the past years, and a girl appeared in his memory.
"If you want me to remember, there is really a girl, remember that it was eight or nine years ago, when I ascended the throne, and the queen mother urged me to learn the government day and night, and I was very disgusted and even escaped from the palace......"
Xia Bingwen wandered aimlessly on the street, saw a father buying sugar gourds for his son, and couldn't help but miss the father of the emperor who died young.
"I want sugar gourds. Xia Bingwen stepped forward and said.
"Two pennies. "Hawker Road.
"I don't have any money. Xia Bingwen lowered his head.
"I don't have money to eat any sugar gourds, go away, don't disturb my business. ”
Xia Bingwen silently walked to the corner, seeing his father's beloved son eating his face full of sugar, so sweet.
Just as Xia Bingwen fell into the mourning of his father, a little girl held a string of sugar gourds in her white and tender little hands and handed it to Xia Bingwen, with a very bright and lovely smile.
"Thank you. Xia Bingwen took the sugar gourd.
"Xiaoxue went back. The Lord called.
"Goodbye, brother, my mother is waiting for me to come home. Xiaoxue's voice was delicate and sweet, Xia Bingwen couldn't help but hold her hand, "Is there anything else with the little brother?"
Xia Bingwen took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Xiao Xue, saying, "Thank you for the sugar gourd." ”
The story of the teenager Xia Bingwen and Xiaoxue takes place on a bright sunny day, but Xiaoxue's smile is better than the sunshine. Xia Bingwen only remembers now that the street was very prosperous that day, and the sugar gourd that day was very sweet.
"Probably not the so-called love. Xia Bingwen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought about it.
"No wonder you lost the jade pendant when you came back after leaving the palace that day, it turned out to be a gift for the little girl. An Ronghua muttered, if it is love, Xia Bingwen's means are worthy of admiration, and the love token was given without saying a word.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, a little girl, there are more girls called Xiaoxue in this world, if her family doesn't know the goods, the jade pendant may be gone, and everyone is looking for her, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. An Ronghua had a reasonable guess.
"I just remembered it suddenly, and I didn't say I was looking for someone. ”
