Chapter 21: Tung Blossoms
Zhao Yuyi finally went out of the palace, knocked Xie Shi a few words, and hurried back to the palace.
Otherwise, if she is discovered by Concubine Jing, she will have to teach a lesson.
In her life, she had heard enough admonitions.
Zhao Yuyi took off her cloak, and under the cover of her grandmother, she sat on the sedan chair parked at the east gate, and went all the way back to her Fengyang Pavilion. She thought that the water she had made was not leaky, but when she returned to the dormitory, she saw the personal palace maid next to Concubine Jing coming before she could change her wet shoes.
"Princess, Concubine Jing invites you to go to the Imperial Garden to talk."
"Got it."
Zhao Yuyi explained a few words to the grandmother beside her, changed into a palace dress, redressed and dressed, and led her personal palace maid Yuhe to the imperial garden together.
By this time the rain had stopped.
The weather was still gloomy and had not cleared up.
Dark clouds shrouded the four corners of the palace, and also shrouded Concubine Jing's well-maintained gorgeous face.
Zhao Yuyi walked into the octagonal pavilion and saluted Concubine Jing who was sitting at the table and sipping tea, "Erchen see the mother concubine." ”
Concubine Jing snorted coldly.
She slammed the teacup on the table, "You slipped out of the palace again?!" ”
Zhao Yuyi couldn't hide it, pursed her lips and said, "Hmm." She was afraid of being accused by Concubine Jing, so she hurriedly said: "It's for that matter, you know the mother, I can't sleep well......"
"Shut up!"
Concubine Jing glared at her and looked around vigilantly, "Is this the place where you can speak openly?" ”
Zhao Yuyi stopped talking.
Concubine Jing hates that iron does not become steel. felt that her daughter couldn't hold her breath and acted recklessly, so she didn't tell her daughter about it if she knew it. Hey, I blame her for not having a door in her mouth, and she can't hide things in her heart.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it."
"You're too grinding......"
Zhao Yuyi muttered quietly, but fortunately Concubine Jing didn't hear it.
Concubine Jing thought about something else, she said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Taimiao Temple with the eldest princess to worship the Buddha and copy the scriptures for a month, during which you will be honest in the palace, don't cause any trouble." There was a sudden flood in Ganzhou, and your father was busy with political affairs, and occasionally brought some stew soup supplements to care about him. ”
After finishing speaking, Concubine Jing looked behind Zhao Yuyi again, revealing a kind smile: "Also, the sister-in-law of the Ministry of Rites is here, you take the opportunity to talk to him." ”
"What?"
Zhao Yuyi turned around abruptly and saw the chamberlain leading a young and upright man on foot.
"Xiaguan Hu Wenqiu, see Concubine Jing, see Princess."
Concubine Jing said weakly: "Get up." Recently, I wanted to play with flowers and plants, and I heard that Master Hu was proficient in plants and trees, so I bothered you to come and ask for advice. ”
Hu Wenqiu was very respectful, "I don't dare to talk about it, I only know a little bit about it." Concubine Jing has a problem, and the lower officials know everything. ”
Concubine Jing asked him some questions, and Hu Wenqiu answered them one by one. The other party is a talent, and his speech and demeanor are good, and the more he looks at it, the more satisfied he is.
She nodded: "Your father is a middle-class humerus, and Master Hu was admitted to Hanlin at a young age, so he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”
Hu Wenqiu secretly spied on Zhao Yuyi's beauty, held back his joy, and said humbly: "Concubine Jing is falsely praised, it is the honor of the Hu family to serve the court and seek benefits for the people, and it is also within the responsibility of officials. ”
Zhao Yuyi yawned when she heard these two people talk.
How she didn't understand what Concubine Jing meant.
She's eighteen.
Since Jilu, every year there has been a young master from this family to look at each other, and all of them have the words "want to be a colt" written on their faces. Huh, when her colt? It's almost the same as being a cow and a horse!
Zhao Yuyi has had enough.
She stood up and walked up to Hu Wenqiu with an arrogant face, "Hey, do you like this princess?" ”
Hu Wenqiu was dumbfounded.
He looked at Concubine Jing, hurriedly lowered his head, and said flatteringly: "The princess is beautiful, the flowers and the moon are beautiful, the country is beautiful, and the official is ...... Xia Guan naturally likes, loves, admires, and respects. ”
"Good!"
She raised her hand and pointed to the paulownia trees in the garden, "The paulownia flowers are very beautiful after the rain." When she was young, she promised that whoever plucked a paulownia flower for her, she would marry him. Zhao Yuyi stroked her palms and smiled, "This princess and Lord Hu are also in love today." In this way, Master Hu, you immediately pluck a paulownia flower for this princess, and this princess will choose you as a colt! ”
Hu Wenqiu was stunned.
Paulownia nuts are so tall.
At least fifty or sixty feet above the ground! Even if you know martial arts, you have to be scared in the face of such a tall tree.
Hu Wenqiu looked at the tall tung tree, and his face was embarrassed: "Princess, that tung flower is too tall, the lower official ...... Xia Guan can't take it off at this time. Can you allow the official to borrow a long ladder ......?"
"I can't even pick a paulownia flower, and there are many excuses."
"If everyone borrows a ladder and a rope like you, will this princess be married to a cat and a dog?"
"Useless people dare to think about this princess, heh!" Zhao Yuyi scolded him angrily, "Have you ever heard the word "retreat in the face of difficulties?" Get out of here! ”
Seeing this, Concubine Jing also knew that Hu Wenqiu was not in love.
She had no choice but to let Hu Wenqiu retreat, and was about to reprimand Zhao Yuyi, but saw that Zhao Yuyi was even more arrogant than her: "Mother!" How many times have I said that don't arrange a marriage for me! My father promised me not to force me to get married, why are you still in a hurry to push me out? ”
"You're eighteen."
"What about eighteen? Can't I marry Princess Zhaofu? ”
Zhao Yuyi grew up like a small starry moon, and her heart was naturally higher than the sky. She said: "I said, if I want to marry, I must marry a unique and excellent man in this world!" Wen can put pen to peace in the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world. Appearance, family background, and personality must be first-class! If there were no men like this, I would rather not marry! ”
Concubine Jing was so angry by her words that she had a heart attack.
Where to find such people?
According to this standard, Zhao Yuyi will not be able to marry in this life.
She exhaled a breath of turbidity, and wanted to comfort, "Zhaofu, there is no such excellent person in the world. ”
"Definitely."
"Well, yes, it's also in a dream."
"Then I'll marry him in my dreams!"
Zhao Yuyi was unhappy and was inexplicably blind date. She didn't bother to argue with Concubine Jing anymore, and left in a huff.
When she returned to Fengyang Pavilion, she immediately called her grandmother to ask about what she had asked her to inquire about before.
Mama is also well-informed.
She whispered, "Return to the princess." According to the news from Mr. Zhang, Fu Jiao and others were trapped in Fengpo due to the floods in Ganzhou. They couldn't make a detour, and they had to clear the river before they could set off. ”
"Then this will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? Fu Jiao must die immediately! ”
"The princess doesn't have to be so anxious......"
"I've always been anxious, don't you know? And I don't want my dreams to come true. ”
Zhao Yuyi slapped the table, with a firm expression: "The Xie family is an unreliable waste, this time, this princess will go out in person, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
