Chapter 312: The Soldier Dies, Confidant
At that time, there was only one queen in the huge harem, and finally the emperor nodded and agreed to place some concubines in Yiyuan. Concubine Li's title can get the word "Li", and her appearance is also outstanding in the harem. Princess Xuan looks like her biological mother, and she is at the age of an onion, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is stunning.
Emperor Xingyuan rarely had a bit of pride as a father at this moment, and asked about Princess Xuan's recent situation with a pleasant face, and said with a smile after asking: "You don't have to be bored in the palace all the time, if you want to go out to play, just tell your mother and concubine, remember to bring more guards." β
In his opinion, there is no teenager who does not yearn for freedom, and it is really boring to stay in the palace all day.
Princess Xuan's hanging thick eyelashes moved, and she said softly, "Thank you, father." β
"Go play, I'll talk to your mother."
"Xuan'er retired." Princess Xuan bent her knees at Emperor Xingyuan and bowed down.
Emperor Xingyuan took a sip of the teacup and looked at Concubine Li: "You have raised Xuan'er well." β
The temperament is a little weaker, but it's not a big problem.
"It's Xuan'er's self-being well-behaved and sensible, not the concubine's credit." Li Concubine said this, nervously clenching her hands into fists.
By this time, she had already guessed that the emperor was probably thinking about Xuan'er's marriage. She has no ability to plan a good marriage for her daughter, and all she can count on is the man in front of her.
It's about her daughter's happiness in the second half of her life, and she can't help but be nervous.
Speaking of which, Xuan'er has also reached the age of talking about marriage. What do you think about being a concubine? β
Concubine Li's heart trembled, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "The concubine can trust His Majesty's vision." β
Emperor Xingyuan smiled loudly: "In this case, I will pay attention to it." β
Saying this to Li Concubine is to make Li Concubine and the eldest daughter have a preparation in their hearts, and there is no need to say more. It's still too early to mention this matter to He Qingxiao, and now let Concubine Li know who he has in mind, and if there is a change at that time, it will be a plain trouble.
After saying what should be said, Emperor Xingyuan got up and left.
Concubine Li sent Emperor Xingyuan to the palace gate, and did not turn around until she couldn't see Emperor Xingyuan's back. This is naturally not because she has illusions about Emperor Xingyuan and has affection, but because she is afraid that people will think that she is not respectful enough to the emperor.
Concubine Li took a few steps inside, and saw Princess Xuan waiting there, her eyes full of worry.
Concubine Li took a few quick steps and held her daughter's hand.
The girl's hands were slender and white, and the palms were wet with sweat.
"Mother-"
"Go in and say."
The mother and daughter entered the house, retired from the palace, and began to talk.
"Listen to your father's intentions, I'm going to choose a horse for you." Without others, Concubine Li couldn't bear her daughter's suspicions and said it directly.
Princess Xuan's heart was settled.
Although she has guesses about her father's intentions, guesses are guesses after all. It's not that she hates to marry, and she is relieved to hear that her father is going to choose a horse for her, but she is worried that her father's arrival is something other bad thing.
Marrying - she doesn't know who she will marry, whether it is good or bad, but she has always known that sooner or later she will leave her mother to marry.
"Did my father say who he chosen?" Princess Xuan asked with her head half-bowed, blushing cheeks.
"I didn't say it, but the concubine thinks that your father should have someone in his heart." Concubine Li patted her daughter's hand, "Xuan'er, don't worry too much. You are the eldest daughter of your father, the eldest princess of Great Xia, and the horse that your father chose for you will not be bad. β
Concubine Li tried to comfort her daughter, but she was also comforting herself.
Heaven bless, let Xuan'er meet a lover, Qin Se and Ming.
Xin Yu returned to the other garden and went to the spirit of Empress Xin, and saw a man in a military uniform kneeling there, being helped up by a tall girl.
"White girl?" Xin Yu recognized the tall girl at a glance, it was Bai Ying who was separated after getting along with each other for many days and entering Beijing.
Bai Ying helped her mother turn around, and when she saw Xin Yu, she couldn't help but show surprise: "Xin Gongzi." β
General Bai was still immersed in the sadness of remembering Empress Xin, but when he heard that it was Gongzi Xin, he immediately looked over.
The young man who walked in was dressed in a plain robe, as delicate and straight as a cedar.
General Bai subconsciously looked for traces of Empress Xin on the young man's face, but did not find it.
She inevitably felt a little lost in her heart.
Xin Gongzi claims to be the adopted son of the queen, but many people don't think so in their hearts, and General Bai is no exception.
"Xin Gongzi, this is my mother."
Xin Yu arched his hand: "General Bai." β
General Bai's eyes were slightly red: "I have long wanted to see Xin Gongzi, but I finally met today." β
"It's the fault of the juniors, I should have come to visit earlier."
Xin Yu greeted and asked General Bai to sit in the living room.
General Bai did not refuse, drank two cups of tea in the hall, and asked Queen Xin many things outside the palace, and his empty heart was comforted.
Once, the queen mother was the reassurance of these female generals and military divisions. When they charge into battle and make suggestions, occasionally because of their daughter's doubts and inner turmoil from others, they will think: Don't be afraid, there is a queen mother.
Later, the world was decided, but the queen mother was gone, and the women who shined in the troubled times gradually lost their voices. By now, she will be sarcastic in front of her when she appears in the court.
General Bai suppressed the sourness in his heart, looked at Xin Yu and thought: It would be nice if the queen mother was still there.
"I've heard all the good deeds that Gongzi Xin has done in the south, and I really admire them. If there is a need in the future, Gongzi Xin can contact the little girl at any time, and the Bai family is willing to be the pawn of the son. β
General Bai's words made Xin Yu stunned.
Of course, she knew the weight of these words, and it was because she knew them that she was surprised.
You know, this is the first official meeting between her and General Bai.
"General Whiteβ"
General Bai smiled: "Childe may think this is abrupt, but I still want Childe to know the position of the Bai family." β
If Gongzi Xin has no intention of fighting, she is a simple woman egret. If Gongzi Xin wants this Great Xia, she is the white general who can charge for it.
This is done, on the one hand, because of what Gongzi Xin did to the south, let her know that this child did not live up to the cultivation of the queen, and more importantly, because of the queen.
The world only says that a man dies for a confidant, and a woman is a person who pleases herself. The woman who goes to his mother is the one who pleases herself, why can't the woman be the former?
Even if other women can't, so can she!
Xin Yu could feel General Bai's sincerity and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Not long after sending General Bai's mother and daughter away, Aunt Gui came.
Aunt Gui wore a plain gown with a white background, carried a basket on her arm, and did not let anyone accompany her, and came alone in a carriage.
"You are Gongzi Xin?" Aunt Gui stared at the young man who greeted her, her eyes eager.
"I am."
Aunt Gui hurriedly introduced herself: "The little woman is from the Changle Hou Mansion, and she was once the palace maid next to the queen's mother, and today she came to worship the queen's mother and sisters." β
Xin Yu accompanied Aunt Gui in, and saw Aunt Gui kneeling in front of the spirit and taking the offerings out of the bamboo basket.
