The boy tilted his head, and thought seriously at a young age: "No, it's my father who said that he likes his mother to cover her face, and her mother will occasionally cover her face with a thin veil." ”

Rong Wen's gaze fell on the woman not far away, she always thought that her mother's appearance would never be forgotten in her mind, and when she wanted to find her mother's shadow from the woman not far away, she suddenly realized that but after seven years, her mother could not find the slightest familiarity in her mind.

For as long as she can remember, it seems that her mother has not wanted to be close to her, so the appearance of her mother in her memory is always one back after another, let her chase her, and even she rarely faces her head-on.

Her mother didn't want to see her.

Rong Wen was stunned for a moment, collected his thoughts, and said softly to the boy: "Sister doesn't want to see your mother, next time I have a chance to enter the palace, I will give you a slingshot." She stroked the boy's head and said softly, "Sister will go first." ”

Rong Wen walked away, and the boy looked at her with a small mouth, very puzzled, and only whispered: "This sister is so strange." ”

——

The grandmother who quietly followed behind the little prince and Rong Wen watched Rong Wen walk out of the magnolia garden behind a thick banyan tree, and her expression was also puzzled, but she didn't think much about it, and coaxed the little prince to play elsewhere.

At this time, the queen mother ate some wine and asked Princess Xuanyang to accompany her for a walk by the lake with a thin layer of ice, and the palace maid beside Princess Xuanyang stepped forward and whispered a few words softly beside the princess.

Princess Xuanyang snorted lightly: "This princess was careless and brought her over." ”

The queen glanced at her and reprimanded: "What kind of temper do you have, who provoked you again?" ”

Xuanyang didn't want to say, but only carried her mother's wrist: "Mother, my son begs you something." ”

Rong Wen was restless and returned along the road that the little prince took her, she was a little lost, and when she was at a loss, a palace maid came by her side, a little familiar, but she didn't remember where she had seen it.

The palace maid stepped forward and said, "The girl wants to go back to the palace banquet and go with the slave maid." ”

Rong Wen's mind was not here, and he thanked her. After walking a little way, I realized that something was not right, and when I looked up, I saw someone who was looking this way not far away.

Princess Xuanyang.

Rong Wen stepped forward and saluted: "The courtiers have seen the queen mother and the princess. ”

The queen looked her up and down, even though there are countless beauties in the harem, this woman can also be called stunning, and there is a stubborn spirit that cannot be concealed in her bones, no wonder Gu Guannan's arrogant temperament will take her with her.

Although the queen scolded her daughter for being unproductive, she followed other people's butts for several years, let alone marrying her, she didn't even get a promise, and there were not many good men in Da Yin, so he had to look at Guannan.

A noble princess, condescending to compete with a woman and jealous.

As a mother, the queen was reluctant to see her daughter's grievances, she cleared her throat and asked Rong Wen: "How old are you this year, can you allow others?" ”

Rong Wen replied truthfully: "The courtier's daughter is seventeen years old this year, and she is not allowed to do so." ”

The queen picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "The palace is happy today, I like you too, and give you a home, are you willing?" ”

Rong Wen didn't know why the queen mother suddenly came to such a show, Princess Xuanyang was there, I think it was because she came to the palace banquet with her second cousin today, which made the princess unhappy.

She didn't reply for a moment.

She didn't want to.

The grandmother beside the queen glanced at Rong Wen: "Niangniang asked you, how many girls from families in the capital want to let Niangniang give marriage without that blessing, you are just the daughter of a minor official in Yangzhou Liupin, and you have also climbed the light of the Hengyuan Marquis Mansion, and you are not happy to thank the queen." ”

Rong Wen felt a sharp gaze from above.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt in front of the queen: "The courtiers thank the queen for her kindness, but the courtiers don't want to get married now, if the courtiers give the marriage, the courtiers will delay others." ”

Seeing the queen's cold face, Mama scolded: "Bold." Who taught you to dare to speak like this in front of your mother. ”

The queen looked at Rong Wen, when she first came to the powerful place in Beijing, she was not timid in front of the nobles of the palace, and this delicate but arrogant appearance reminded her of a person.

The queen's tone was sharp and unquestionable: "You are too worried." She thought for a while: "Now there are two choices, the third son of the Pingyang General's Mansion is a good match for you, if you don't want to, and the Marquis of Anyang is about to continue." ”

Rong Wen knelt on the cold bluestone slab, her fingertips curled up, and what her stepmother said sounded in her mind, even if her father was only a six-rank petty official, she was not reduced to the point of marrying a concubine or making a continuation for others.

Xu was deceived by the queen's words, but the tension that Rong Wen Shicai pressed in his heart was gone, he raised his eyes and looked at the queen, his eyes were resolute and unyielding, and he said seriously: "The courtiers are unwilling, if the queen has to give marriage, I am now living in Hengyuan Marquis's mansion, and the mother can talk to Gu Zhongshu about this." ”

Hearing Rong Wen say this, there was a stiffness in his expression, and Princess Xuanyang instantly lost her temper: "What do you mean by this?" He's you, you're with him—"

Princess Xuanyang's words were interrupted, Gu Mu's cold voice came from far away, he strode up to the queen, and glanced at Rong Wen who was kneeling there.

Xuanyang looked at him intently, and clearly saw a thin layer of anger between his eyebrows, she stepped forward and softened her voice: "You are here, my queen mother just wants to tell her about her home." Xuanyang subconsciously explained, so that he didn't look so indifferent.

Gu Mu looked at the queen and said in a deep voice: "I don't know who the mother wants to marry for her sister?" ”

The queen was in her heart as early as the moment she saw him, and at this moment she lost her calmness, and said softly: "Gu Zhongshu came at the right time, and the palace also saw that this girl liked it, so she wanted to tell her about her family." "The queen avoids the important and takes it lightly.

Gu Mu lowered his eyes to look at Rong Wen, and asked her in a calm voice: "Cousin, would you like to let the queen mother give her a marriage?" He asked seriously, his eyes were deep, and after Rong Wen looked at him, a force poured into his heart, and he replied: "I don't want to." ”

Gu Mu answered her lightly, and then said to the queen: "In this way, I won't bother the mother." ”

Gu Mu didn't save face for the queen so much, the queen still didn't show dissatisfaction on her face, and said with gentle eyebrows: "It's the palace that only cares about liking it for a while, but I forgot to ask Miss Rong what she wants." ”

The queen thought that this was the end of the matter, lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, but heard Gu Mu speak again: "I don't know how she bumped into Niangniang, it was cold in winter, kneeling on this bluestone slab." ”

The cup in the queen's hand trembled slightly, and she was shocked, Gu Guannan was holding her accountable?

The queen was used to being noble, and she was speechless for a while, thinking of the power of the Hengyuan Marquis Mansion, thinking that the current court situation was controlled by him Gu Guannan, and her son was also flattering in front of him, how could she offend him.

The queen got up, walked slowly to Rong Wen, bent down her noble waist and stretched out her hand in front of Rong Wen, and said gently: "If you don't want to give marriage, you don't want to, on such a cold day, get up quickly." ”

The queen was so patient, Princess Xuanyang on the side couldn't hold back the dryness in her heart for a long time, walked in front of Gu Mu, quite aggrieved, tears were in her eyes, pointed to Rong Wen on the side, and asked him in the posture of the youngest daughter: "Gu Guannan, if you like her, you and I will get married in the future, let her stay in the house, do you refute my mother's face for her like this?" ”

Gu Mu's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was flat: "The princess is cautious." ”

Seeing her daughter so out of shape, the queen raised her hand and sent down all the grandmothers and palace maids serving beside her, Gu Mu didn't want to say more, and looked at Rong Wen: "Let's go." ”

——

Rong Wen followed behind Gu Mu, Jing Si followed behind Rong Wen, Jing Si sighed in his heart, Princess Xuanyang had pestered his son-in-law for so many years, and he still didn't give up.

Doesn't the princess know that his son-in-law is short?

The cousin girl is now living in the Hou Mansion, and for the son, she is also a sister like the fifth girl, so she bullied the cousin girl like this, of course the son will be angry.

Besides, his son-in-law will escape into the empty door in the future, and the princess should die.

When Rong Wen followed Gu Mu past the palace banquet, she heard that the voices inside were still noisy, she had already relieved herself at this time, and asked Gu Mu, "Didn't the second cousin go to the banquet?" ”

Gu Mu's steps slowed down, allowing her to keep up: "Don't go, go home." ”

Go home?

Rong Wen instinctively raised his eyes to look at him, his clear eyes were straight, Gu Mu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked her, "You don't want to go back?" ”

Rong Wen instinctively shook his head again: "No, no." ”

Gu Mu asked her as she walked, "Where did Shicai go?" ”

Rong Wen then returned to the beginning, she followed the boy to the Yulan Garden, but she didn't hide it from Gu Mu: "I met a boy, and I saw that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to my mother, so I followed him away, but-" She paused: "I went to see, not my mother." ”

Gu Mu let out a faint 'um'.

He asked her again, "Have you drunk?" ”

Temperature: ......

"The wine at the palace banquet has a faint fragrance, and I took a small sip." Gu Mu glanced at her and didn't continue to ask.

Walking all the way to the palace gate, it was not until the moment he stepped out that Rong Wen was completely relieved, at this time the sky was dim, and the capital city was already brightly lit because of the Shangyuan Festival, and it became a bright spark.

Suddenly, a person stopped in front of them, the man was tall, Xu was because of the night, his face was extremely dark, and he showed his white teeth and smiled: "Brother Guannan, I specially waited for you here, I lost my temper after drinking in the Hou Mansion that day, and came to make amends to Brother Guannan." ”

Rong Wen had already heard it on the side.

Isn't this the one who whistled at her at the rockery of the Hou Mansion that day and called her little sister?
