Chapter 215: Two Lovers
Lin Jin's wife was about to leave at night, Ξ.γ ksnhuγοΌla
Grape walked back and forth, as if he had something to say to her, but never came in until she suddenly appeared, which startled him.
"Mother, where are you going?" Grape looked at the little burden she was carrying in confusion and said strangely.
"Why are you here?" Lin Jinwen smiled slightly, and threw the burden to the person behind her decently, before she smiled and said, "Are you missing your mother, or are you thinking about when you married the Jiang family's girl?" β
When Grape heard this, he immediately became a little nervous, even Fang Cai's question forgot to continue to ask, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Erchen is thinking about whether the girl of the Jiang family is willing." β
Lin Jinwen felt strange, didn't her heart communicate with her in private, how could she worry about disagreeing?
He looked at his son who was full of sorrow, thought about it, or gave up the idea of sneaking out of the palace overnight, sent away the people who followed him, and said with a smile: "The queen mother will accompany you to walk in this palace?" β
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Grape had this intention, he also wanted to know, how to understand the thoughts of his daughter's family, he also asked Jiu'er and Simeng, but their minds are different, so he can't pay attention to it for a while.
Lin Jin's wife smiled lightly, and then slowly walked down the corridor with him.
The corridor was full of bright red lanterns, and the mother and son walked slowly, very quiet.
Lin Jinwen looked at his eyebrows slightly locked, and asked with a light smile: "Miss Jiang is a good girl......
"Naturally, she is a good girl, she is knowledgeable, and most importantly, she understands me." After explaining, he found that he seemed to have said too much, and looked at Lin Jinwen with a little embarrassment and said, "Queen Mother, Erchen just doesn't understand what she means now." Last time, the son vaguely mentioned to her that she wanted her father to give her marriage, but she ran away with a red face. β
The grapes wondered, why is this happening? Running away, does it mean that you don't want to get married?
When Lin Jinwen saw that it was because of this, she couldn't help but want to knock on her son's head to see if it was filled with water.
She smiled helplessly: "Silly son, if she doesn't want to marry you, why is she blushing?" β
"Really?" Grape looked at her suspiciously, Lin Jinwen only wanted to pat the water in his head, but she could only confess: "What about the queen mother, when I was not careful, I read the letter of the two of you......"
Lin Jinwen finished speaking cautiously, and found that he was only slightly red, and he was not angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Judging from the text on the letter, Miss Jiang must belong to you, and you don't have to worry too much, as for why you ran away, a girl's family, you told people that you were going to marry her, as a famous lady, she was naturally more shy and embarrassed, what else could she do besides running away?" β
Grape was stunned: "But she ...... wine"
"Jiu'er is an accident......" Lin Jin'er supported her forehead, Jiu'er's temperament can't be raised by ordinary people, and Jiang Qingshu and Mrs. Jiang are both decent people, and they will definitely not let their daughter fool around like Jiu'er.
Grape looked at Lin Jinwen suspiciously and said, "Queen Mother, Qing'er, she really doesn't dislike me?" β
Lin Jinwen saw that he still didn't believe it, and he who had always gone to bed early and got up early was sad like this, so he simply said: "Why don't you take her and Mrs. Jiang into the palace tomorrow, and just talk to Jiu'er, and then the queen mother asks what she means?" If she wishes, I will discuss your marriage directly with Madame Chiang. β
When Grape heard this, he was apprehensive and excited, and immediately nodded: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" β
"You're welcome, I just hope that my grapes can live happily with my beloved and Meimei for a lifetime." Lin Jinwen bent her eyes and smiled, she used to always think about what a child would look like if she was covered with devastation? Is it the same as her, who has a little bit of concern and hesitation about anyone and everything, or is it like Huaiyan, who slowly abides by herself and is indifferent to others, but she didn't expect her sons and daughters to grow up to be so good, so sincere, and so believing in love.
She looked at the handsome and extraordinary son in front of her, and became gentle: "It's not early, go back early and rest, tomorrow's affairs, the queen mother will worry about you." β
"Yes!" Grape smiled in response, and immediately saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.
After he left, Lin Jinwen simply stood under the porch, looking at the breeze and bright moon, smiling, how good, the present day.
She rubbed her slightly sore waist, and finally chose to go back.
She thought, it doesn't matter if she leaves the palace late, it doesn't matter if she goes to Lituo Island late, after all, nothing is more important than her relatives.
She smiled and went back, but she didn't know that Zhao Huaiyan was standing in the room waiting for her at this moment.
If she really left like this, how could he rest assured that he must have to go with her, but he didn't expect that a grape would make her change her mind.
Lin Jinwen pushed open the door and looked at the man sitting at the table drinking tea, so gentle and reliable, her impetuous heart was quiet.
"Huaiyan ......"
"It's cold outside, drink hot tea, it's not early, we should rest." Zhao Huaiyan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to her, and motioned for her to sit beside him.
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to him, and sat down beside him, then hugged him and kissed him gently, the night was cold, and there should be a warmth to sleep with peace of mind.
One night, the people in the palace were full of joy in their hearts, and so was the wine.
Although Jiu'er was sad that Su Jingxun left, when she thought of Jiang Qijing, she felt as if she had put a piece of osmanthus halva in her heart, which was soft and sweet, making her want to laugh when she was lying down.
"Xiaojing...... Prospects...... Brother Jing ......" Jiu'er muttered, her little face turned red with shame, and she covered herself in the quilt for a long time before she came out, wrapped her neck and looked at the night with a smile, until the gongs and drums of the third watch were beaten, and she finally fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lin Jinwen really invited Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Qingwei into the palace.
In the name of wine, wine will naturally be there.
Jiu'er changed into a carmine wide-sleeved long skirt today, with a half-placket with a crossed collar on the skirt, a flower-sprinkled pleated skirt with a red belt on the lower body, a pair of delicate embroidered shoes of the same color, a beautiful flying fairy bun, and the baby fat that has faded, the whole person is no longer as cute as a child, but more fresh and elegant of a girl.
When Madame Jiang, who was sitting at the top, saw Jiu'er coming, she only thought that it was a replica version of Lin Jinwen, but she had both the emperor's phoenix eyes on her body, and her own gentle temperament, so she was a little less cold and a little more gentle of the girl next door.
"The courtiers have seen Her Royal Highness." She hurriedly pulled her daughter next to her to get up and saluted the wine.
Jiu'er came over, first saluted Lin Jinwen according to the rules, and after Lin Jin'er asked her to get up, she asked Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter to get up, and said with a smile: "It's really good that Mrs. Jiang is willing to come, I met Miss Jiang last time, and I was looking for some opportunities to talk." β
"It's the princess who carries love." Jiang Qing smiled slightly and blessed the blessing.
Jiu'er stepped forward and took her hand, and looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile: "Queen Mother, is it okay for Jiu'er to go to the Imperial Garden with Miss Jiang?" β
"Go ahead." Lin Jinwen bent her eyes and smiled.
Jiang Qingwei quietly glanced at Lin Jinwen, now she seems to be in her twenties, and there is no wrinkle on her face, but there is more wisdom and elegance in her eyes, and the whole person looks graceful and luxurious, but it is not deliberately made, as if it is born with its own majesty, which makes people bow their heads urgently just by looking at it.
Lin Jinwen also saw her eyes, smiled, and immediately blushed when she saw her, so she sent them down to play, leaving only Mrs. Jiang to speak.
Mrs. Jiang is no one else, it is the daughter of the original Luo family, and later Mrs. Luo fell in love with Jiang Qingshu, so she married her daughter to him.
Lin Jinwen waited for the wine to go away, and then said with a smile: "The scenery of the imperial garden is good, and the palace should also take the lady for a walk." β
"The mother is polite, how can the courtiers have such blessings." Madame Jiang said busily.
"How not? If Miss Jiang becomes the daughter-in-law of the palace, what is this royal garden? Lin Jinwen smiled as if jokingly, but she didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to kneel down immediately and said, "Queen Mother, the courtiers will never dare to have the intention of climbing high." β
"If the children are happy, how can they say it?" Lin Jinwen said with a smile.
Mrs. Jiang was raised by a serious etiquette in the big family, and when she heard this, she thought that Lin Jinwen was blaming Jiang Qingwei for teaching and receiving private things from the prince, and she became more and more frightened: "Niangniang, it's all because the courtiers and daughters have no way, so they let her be confused, don't worry, the courtiers will definitely ......teach a lesson when they go back."
Lin Jinwen saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "This palace sees that Miss Jiang is well-educated, where is the goddaughter without a way?" And he is in love with the prince, why is he confused? Could it be that Mrs. Cheng dislikes the prince, what's wrong? If there is something wrong, Mrs. said bluntly that this palace is busy with other things all day long, but it is negligent in disciplining. β
"This ......" Mrs. Jiang was a little confused when she heard her say this, could it be that Niangniang didn't blame her daughter for having a private relationship with the prince?
She only found out about this matter in the past two days, it was her daughter who began to think about tea and dinner after returning from the palace banquet, and she looked like she wanted to talk and stopped, she couldn't help asking, she didn't expect that she actually said that she wanted to marry the prince, and she was startled at the time, but she didn't expect the queen to have the idea of bridging the bridge now, this ......
"Niangniang, what do you mean is that you don't blame her for ...... with the prince in private" Mrs. Jiang's face was slightly red, she choked and didn't say it, Lin Jinwen only smiled: "This palace likes Miss Jiang very much, but I don't know if Mrs. Jiang looks down on us Mu Jin." β
How dare Mrs. Jiang say that she doesn't look down on the prince, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother said that she laughed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally one of the best among the people, and the courtiers are afraid that the Jiang family's status is cold and unworthy of His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Lin Jinwen saw that Mrs. Jiang had no objections, and finally laughed: "Jiang Yushi's achievements over the years are in the eyes of the emperor and the palace, and Miss Jiang is a good girl in a million, how can she not be worthy." It's just that Bengong wants to know Miss Jiang's own thoughts, in case she doesn't like it, isn't it because Bengong did something wrong and ruined the marriage between the two? β
"This ......" Madame Jiang didn't know whether to say it or not, or how to say it, but the queen's upbringing and discipline of her children had always been different from those royal families in the past. Although it seems to be loose, the current princess and prince are all first-class outstanding characters, even the little prince who is still young is also the dragon and phoenix among people, a rare good prince, she asked this, it must be from the heart.
Thinking of this, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, she also plucked up the courage to say: "Back to Niangniang, Qing'er is naturally willing." β
β¦β¦
At this time, in the imperial garden, Jiang Qingwei followed Jiu'er to take a slow walk by the lake, and today he raised his eyes and came out, but it was not hot, but there was a light rain in the early morning, and the wind was a little cold on his body at this time.
Xiao Li said busily on the side: "Princess, it's a little cold here, the slave maid will go and get you a cloak." β
"Well, bring a note for Sister Jiang too." Jiu'er laughed.
"Yes." Xiaoli glanced at Jiang Qingwei, who was wearing a light purple dress, and responded with a smile, so she hurriedly retreated, and Jiu'er just pulled Jiang Qingwei to stop at the railing by the lake, and said with a smile: "The weather is really good today, if the crown prince and brother are here, I will definitely think about moving out the books in the library to dry, and then carefully dusting off the dust on them." He loved those books more than he loved me. β
Jiang Qingwei listened and blushed quietly, but said with a gentle smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is an idiot, he loves books very much, but he definitely loves His Royal Highness the Princess even more, after all, you are his own sister, aren't you?" β
"Although he said that, he never lost sleep all night because of me." Jiu'er sighed and said, glancing at Jiang Qingwei out of the corner of her eye, observing her reaction.
Jiang Qingwei heard this, and hurriedly said: "He has insomnia? After speaking, he noticed his gaffe again, and said busily: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insomnia because of state affairs?" β
Jiu'er shook his head: "Naturally, it's not a state affair, but there is still a father who can help him make up his mind for a state affair, he is thinking about a lifelong event." β
When Jiang Qingwei heard this, his face became more and more red, and he lowered his eyes to look at the pairs of mandarin ducks in the lake, his eyes were shining, and he only said softly: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have someone in his heart?" β
"Naturally, there is, otherwise why would the queen mother be lazy and not sleep early in the morning, and invite your sister to the palace?" Jiu'er finally couldn't hold back his words and burst out laughing.
Jiang Qing looked up in astonishment, and when he saw her looking at him with shining eyes, he immediately blushed and lowered his head.
Jiu'er saw that she was shy, so she didn't continue, and it happened that Xiaoli took two cloaks, one was embroidered with red plum in crescent moon, and the other was embroidered with lilacs in jade white.
Jiu'er took the cloak embroidered with purple lilacs and personally tied it for Jiang Qingwei, who was about as tall as her, before she smiled and said, "Sister Qing'er, what do you think of the crown prince's brother?" β
Jiang Qingwei looked at her and asked so bluntly, her face became more and more red, and she only lowered her eyes and smiled: "Naturally, it is excellent." β
"I think it's great, too." Jiu'er understood her intentions, her smile became bigger and bigger, and she deliberately shamed her and said, "If you are a husband, it is also excellent, right?" β
Jiang Qingwei's face was about to turn red, and she turned away from her, letting her smile.
Jiu'er fastened her cloak and was about to continue walking with her, when she saw a figure coming in a hurry, her eyes lit up, and she smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." β
Jiang Qingwei immediately raised his eyes and saw the bright young man who was wearing the prince's mansion and walking quickly.
The young man had a little anxiety in his eyes, but the moment he saw her, he turned into watery tenderness, which made Jiang Qingwei's whole person feel as if he was in a dream, and the person came from the dream with a divine light.
After Grape approached quickly, he saw Jiang Qingwei, who was looking at him with a red face, looked at her gently, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, Jiu'er, why are you here?" β
Jiu'er hugged his hands to his chest and snorted and laughed: "Isn't it because we are here that the imperial brother found it?" β
"I ......" Grape looked at the deliberately spoiled wine, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing is talking to his father in the imperial study at this time, as if his father intends to let him go back to Beiyan......"
Jiu'er didn't wait for him to finish speaking, turned his head and ran away, and said to Jiang Qingwei when he left: "Qing'er, if the imperial brother bullies you, you have to tell me, I will help you get angry!" After saying that, he made a grimace with the grapes and ran quickly, so anxious that Xiaoli hurriedly followed.
When they left, Grape breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the person in front of him who was missing Twilight, and said, "Qing'er, I ......"
"I know it all." Jiang Qingwei raised her eyes to look at him, she knew what kind of environment the prince and princess grew up in since she was a child, she was very envious when she was a child, and she thought about what the children raised in this way would be like, she never thought that after contact, she would fall.
Not only his intelligence, but also because of him, he would tell her his heart generously, tell her his thoughts, tell her his vision for the future, the two of them seemed to be able to break all the shackles of etiquette, and be together only because they loved each other, and how fortunate she was to be favored by him.
Grape looked at her sparkling eyes and smiled: "That's good, I'm still worried that you won't marry me, so I will turn around and leave." β
"So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't sleep all night last night?" Jiang Qingwei asked him.
Grape's face was slightly red, and he only looked at her fixedly: "Qing'er, you will agree to marry me, right?" β
Jiang Qingwei was shy, wanted to lower her head, and wanted to run away, but she couldn't bear to let him suffer from this torment again, so she also mustered up the courage to look at him, full of love: "I do." β
"Great!" Grape was overjoyed, and raised her hand to hug her, but looking at her red face and the shyness in her eyes, she finally withdrew her hand and only smiled: "This imperial garden is very big, I'll take you away." β
"But doesn't the prince still have court affairs to deal with?" Jiang Qing said slightly.
"My father said that I am allowed to rest for a day today, and there are not many things to do today." He smiled.
Jiang Qingwei saw him laughing like a wine child, also bent his eyes, smiled and followed him, and walked forward slowly, anyway, she didn't know what the scenery of this imperial garden was, she just needed to know that the person she liked was around, no matter what the scene, it must be the most beautiful scene in the world.
At the corner not far away, Jiu'er cat's waist, the little pear cat behind her, the palace maid cat behind Xiao Li, a long man squinted his eyes and saw Grape and Jiang Qingwei walking forward at a very slow speed, before they glanced at each other.
"It seems that we will soon have a crown princess in the palace." Xiao Li touched her chin and said seriously.
"That's great, our palace will be more lively in the future." Jiu'er said excitedly.
Xiao Li shook her head with a serious face, and then said, "Princess, haven't you heard of the water spilled by the married daughter?" Soon you're going to be spilled out......"
Before Xiao Li finished speaking, she saw Jiu'er squinting her eyes and looking at her with a smile: "It's okay, I'll splash it out, and I'll splash you out easily, Xiao Li, you're not too young, shouldn't you also ......?"
Xiao Li immediately covered her mouth and shook her head, signaling that she would no longer dare to talk nonsense, and Jiu'er raised her hand and pretended to twist her ears, which frightened her to avoid immediately, and she chased after her with a smile until she reached the front of the imperial study.
When Jiu'er came, her steps were light, for fear that Zhao Huaiyan would find out, but she only stepped into the door of the imperial study with one foot, and listened to the words inside: "Jiu'er is waiting outside, and I am not allowed to step in without my orders." β
"But my father ......"
"Huh?" Zhao Huaiyan snorted coldly, and the wine outside had to stop his pace.
She tried hard to hear the voice inside, but she couldn't hear a word, so she could only be anxious, could it be that her father would really not agree to this marriage and ask Xiaojing to go back to Beiyan?
No, no, Xiaojing went back to Beiyan, what should she do.
Thinking of this, she became more and more anxious, and before she wanted to continue inside, she saw that Zhao Huaiyan had already come out.
She hurriedly greeted her, and said with a sweet smile: "Father......"
"Little girl, I don't listen to my father's words anymore." Zhao Huaiyan is angry, the baby daughter he raised with great difficulty, is now about to be taken away in the blink of an eye, and this person has not been married yet, the little girl is partial to him, how can he balance it?
The more I think about it, the more angry I become, and the more angry I get, the more I don't want to see Jiang Qijing.
Jiu'er hurriedly said seriously: "Naturally not, I want to listen to my father's words, but Xiaojing also wants to see them." The queen mother, be assertive. β
Zhao Huaiyan saw that she actually moved out of her sister-in-law to press herself, and helplessly raised her hand to pinch her face, so she turned her head and said lightly to Jiang Qijing: "When you go out of the palace, you are not allowed to see the princess in private." β
"Father's ......" Jiu'er thought that Zhao Huaiyan really disagreed, and hurriedly said, but Zhao Huaiyan said: "The wedding date is set after your imperial brother, and during the period before marriage, you are not allowed to meet again, understand?" β
Jiu'er was slightly stunned, did his father agree?
Thinking of this, she immediately became excited, although she couldn't see Xiaojing for a short time, but at least the marriage was completed, and at most in a few months, they would be able to meet!
She immediately smiled and should be, Jiang Qijing was also helpless, but the future father-in-law's baby daughter naturally deserved.
He also saluted yes, and when he left, he winked at the wine, and when he thought that he couldn't see him for a long time, he was really worried, and he didn't know if this naughty girl would forget herself by then.
Thinking of this, he stepped away.
Jiu'er looked at his back and couldn't wait to follow.
Zhao Huaiyan saw her like this, as if he had a piece of flesh in his heart, and finally understood why Lin Luzhi was so opposed to his daughter marrying him in the first place.
He looked at his little baby, and finally smiled: "After going back to see your mother with my father, it is better to set your wedding date as soon as possible." Then set down the grapes, so that they could really let go for a while, go out for a walk, and also meet Qi Ye and the mysterious Lady Lin from Lituo Island.
