Chapter 355: Life and Age, Forever
The maids had never seen the man standing at the gate of the temple, and they saw him staring intently at their young lady, sighing that their young lady was stupid, and pulled Xia Qian down the mountain.
Xia Qian wanted to struggle to explain the matter clearly, but the two guards just now called Huo Zun His Royal Highness, she herself was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was still a fool at the moment, so she had to suppress the surprise in her heart and make another plan.
At the gate of the temple, the prince who was passing by hunting looked at the departing figures of their master and servant for a long time, and muttered: "The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? I haven't seen it before you, so how can I feel like I'm familiar? It's like ...... I lost something, and kept looking for it, but I couldn't find it! ”
"Your Highness, don't you know, this Prime Minister Wang is a famous good man in our capital, and he is also a Qing official loved by the people, but it's a pity that she is such a precious daughter, and she was born a fool!" One of the guards sighed.
One of the guards sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't think this person was really so good-looking, his eyes were watery, no matter how he looked at it, he was smart and smart, why was he a fool?" What a pity! ”
As if he hadn't heard the words of these two, the prince said freely: "Zhiamaranth grass \/Dream Youlan!" ”
Half a month later, the Prime Minister's Mansion received a mysterious gift, the gift was two pots of flowers, a pot of finely trimmed Mengyoulan, and a pot of Zhizhi amaranth transplanted from Snake Mountain to the flower pot.
Since Xia Qian woke up in the temple that day, she had been suffering from dementia for 17 years and had been cured.
Seeing these two things, she naturally knew that it was sent by Huo Zun's turning stone, and she learned from her parents that if she was unified today, when Feng was prosperous, the emperor had one son and four daughters, and she met Zhao Qingteng, the prince of the dynasty, that day.
One day, in the garden where she walked, she heard her parents discussing the matter, and they were talking about the prince's choice of concubine.
Prime Minister Wang Cheng looked at his wife, sighed lightly, and said worriedly: "Madam, the emperor has decreed that His Royal Highness has reached the marriageable age, so that all officials above the fifth rank in the court will send their eldest daughter to the palace to run for the crown princess." Our coriander is also among them, but ...... Alas! ”
"Master, you have been doing good for many years, our coriander has been blessed by the Bodhisattva, and it is already amazing to live from the sick and weak body that was just born, although she is a little stupid now, but she has a shy personality, and she is not causing trouble. It's better to let her try, first, to live up to the emperor's order, and second, to try her luck! “
"This must not happen! My coriander is like this, if she really went, she didn't know anything more than talent at that time, and when the emperor asked, she didn't know anything. I'm afraid of the power of the emperor and the crown prince! “
While the two were talking, the housekeeper in the house ran over and said that the prince's personal bodyguard, Fan Zuo/Fan You, asked to see the prime minister.
Xia Qian heard that it was someone sent by the prince, so she quietly followed and found that the two were here to bring wine.
Prime Minister Wang looked at his daughter Hong, who was still good in the second altar, first stunned, and then looked at his wife in surprise, and asked cautiously in order to avoid guessing the wrong mind of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Our Highness said that the prime minister is working more and more for state affairs, so he specially prepared two jars of good wine and sent them over. In addition, when it comes to choosing a concubine seven days later, I hope that the prime minister will prepare carefully and pay more attention! “
After the two guards finished speaking, they left, and Prime Minister Wang looked at his wife in disbelief, and called Xia Qian's two personal maids to inquire carefully, only to be sure that he was not dreaming.
Seven days later, Xia Qian appeared at the gate of the palace in a plain brocade dress, she was thin and did not have too many golden hairpins and jade beads, but she was just as beautiful as the peach and the temperament was even more refined, and the elegance was incomparable.
"Child, with the maids with you, don't be afraid, go!" Prime Minister Wang looked at his daughter distressedly, turned his head sideways and couldn't help but sigh.
The prime minister's wife looked at her daughter, and couldn't help but feel sad, turned her head and quietly wiped her tears.
"Dad, mother! Don't worry, your daughter won't let you down! Xia Qian took their hands and smiled comfortingly.
Prime Minister Wang and his wife were stunned, staring at their daughter dumbfounded, and exclaimed in surprise: "Child, what did you just say, say it again?" ”
Xia Qian looked at them and smiled sweetly again: "Daddy, I'm not stupid anymore, I'm cured!" ”
Xia Qian followed the maid into the palace, the prime minister and his wife looked at her back, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the sky three times, saying that Guanyin Bodhisattva had appeared, and the words of the monk ten years ago had come true, and in the future, I would like to thank the mysterious person who sent Meng Youlan and Zhi Amaranth.
There are more than 100 people participating in the draft, according to the rules, everyone first enters the show pavilion to pass the prince's interview, after this pass, the left to show their talents, and finally from the best six by the emperor / queen / prince jointly selected one as the crown princess, the remaining five can be selected two side concubines.
Among these draftees, Xia Qian had a noble status and was arranged in the first batch of people to enter the show.
A group of twelve people stood in Xiu Ge at the same time, and Prince Qingteng's gaze stayed on her, shielding out the hot gazes of others, and walked up to her and asked, "...... What is your name? ”
Seeing her staring at herself silently, Qingteng couldn't help pinching her fingers.
- It's all this person who is a fool, not long after his Zhi Amaranth and Meng Youlan were sent, his father forced him to choose a concubine, if her dementia has not been cured, wouldn't this time be missed in vain.
"You?"
Zhao Qingteng looked at her, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't know how to ask the words later, and he didn't dare to ask again.
She smiled at him, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her face showed a pair of charming pear blossom nests, and he looked at him in a daze for a long time, pulling him to hurry to find his father/mother.
"Your Highness! Do you still have more than a hundred beautiful women who haven't seen it? The father-in-law beside him shouted eagerly.
"No, I've already chosen!" Zhao Qingteng pulled Xia Qian into the Jinluan Hall where the emperor and queen were located.
The emperor looked at the two people in front of her, and also felt that Xia Qian had a good appearance and an out-of-the-ordinary temperament, but they all felt that their son was choosing a concubine quickly, after all, they had just sat down in the Jinluan Palace.
"Enlighten the father and the emperor/mother, the child has been chosen, it is her!"
The two people sitting on the Jinluan Treasure Hall looked at each other and asked in surprise, "You have chosen so quickly?" Can you be cautious? ”
"The child has met her before, it was love at first sight, and when I see her again today, I only feel that it is a gift from God, and I dare not cherish it! The father and the queen mother agreed, saying that the matter of choosing a concubine is just a process, and the key is to look at the child's mind, and the child is chosen, and this person is the person. ”
The emperor looked at his son in surprise, then looked at the crown princess he chose, and asked Xia Qian with a smile: "I don't know what the name of this girl is?" Born in that house? ”
"Her name is Wang Qianqian, she is the daughter of Prime Minister Wang Xiao, and she begs her father and queen mother to be fulfilled!" Zhao Qingteng looked at his father earnestly and replied quickly.
Hearing the prime minister's son, the smiles on the faces of the emperor and the queen froze suddenly.
The emperor paused, cleared his throat and said, "Hmm! Ahh Well, the crown princess is the daughter of the future harem, and she should be smart and virtuous...... Ahh ”
"Father!" Zhao Qingteng looked at the emperor eagerly, lest his satisfactory marriage be disturbed by his father's words.
The emperor glanced at him dissatisfied, and ordered: "I am asking her, you sit aside and wait!" ”
Zhao Qingteng stood with his brows furrowed, neither sitting aside nor talking.
The queen looked at her son, frowned, and asked Xia Qian softly: "Wang Qianqian, you are not more afraid, just truthfully reply to the emperor's question, how old are you this year?" ”
Xia Qian smiled shyly, and replied with a serious salute: "Back to the emperor and queen, the little girl is seventeen!" ”
The eyes of all the people in the hall lit up, and they looked at her incredulously for a long time, and Zhao Qingteng laughed out loud with relief.
The emperor looked at his son, stroked his beard and coughed lightly, and then asked, "Seventeen years old is a good age." Are you good at those talents? ”
Xia Qian frowned lightly and replied seriously, "Little woman...... I was unwell before, and I didn't learn any talents, but when I heard a song a few days ago, I thought it was good, so I sang two articles along with it, and I knew it! ”
"Good! Sing it and listen to it! Before the emperor could speak, Zhao Qingteng couldn't wait to listen.
She sang the "Water Tune Song Head" that she sang for him on his birthday. When is the bright moon?
The same song, listening to it again in this life, he also has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Singing so well, what else would you do?" Zhao Qingteng asked excitedly, as if he had completely forgotten what Xia Qian had just said that he had not learned any talents.
Xia Qian pretended to be embarrassed and looked at everyone, then looked at the teacup in front of the emperor, and said: "Yesterday, I saw someone making tea, so I boiled a pot with it, and I think the taste and color are not bad!" ”
The palace maids sent a set of tea sets up, and Xia Qian, like in her previous life, boiled a pot of gentlemen's tea in front of everyone.
There is no sound of the piano, and there is no "Gentleman's Yin" sung by her personally, but this pot of tea is indeed the best in the world, and the emperor and queen looked at the legendary "stupid girl" in front of her in disbelief, and only felt that it was Prime Minister Wang Cheng who had done good for many years, and finally got a good reward.
The prince's wedding caused a sensation throughout the country.
On that day, Xia Qian sat in the red wedding sedan chair, looking at the overwhelming vermilion outside through Xipa, the scene when she married Huo Zun in her previous life came into view, and she couldn't help but smile happily.
Two years later, Zhao Qingteng ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, Xia Qian gave birth to a son and a daughter, his son Zhao Changqin was made the crown prince just after birth, and his son Jingtong was named Princess Qinshui when he was born.
