Chapter 254: Candidates
"Please also ask Your Majesty to let the king go back quickly, the concubine dreamed a few days ago that the mother at home fell ill because she missed the concubine, and the concubine wanted to let a maid who followed her go back to take care of the mother at home, and now she can only return together when the king returns. Speaking of her mother at home, Concubine Mei was sad and sad, and said with tears in her eyes.
Emperor Xuanhua's heart was about to be disturbed by Concubine Mei, and he gently tried her tears and said: "What's so difficult about this matter, wait for me to see Xuanwa tomorrow, and choose to send him away as soon as possible." ”
Fu asked again: "Concubine Ai is satisfied." ”
Concubine Mei burst into tears, nodded and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
On the second day, Emperor Xuanhua saw the tile spur in the imperial study and asked, "Please come to me today to find out about it, and choose a place to live with your relatives?"
On the same day, Emperor Xuanhua gave marriage to Xiahou Shuang and Xiao Xinrong, and sent a message to the tile thorn to let him find someone else, if he couldn't find it, Emperor Xuanhua directly ordered the marriage, so a few days have passed, and there is no news about the tile spur, Emperor Xuanhua called to inquire, thinking about the candidate for this time.
Who knew that the tile spur said directly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang already has a candidate in his heart." ”
Emperor Xuanhua got up and walked to the side of the tile spur and said: "I have already said that Miss Xiahou and the second prince are in love, I will not send this woman to kiss, and you need to choose someone else, as long as you can say it, I will definitely not break my word." ”
"Is Your Majesty serious?" asked the Watts.
"Seriously. Emperor Xuanhua nodded.
The tile spur made a big salute and said, "The little king asks to marry the lord of Fulin." ”
"Who are you talking about?" Emperor Xuanhua thought his ears had heard it wrong.
"Yes, it is the county lord of Fulin, Xiao Wang heard that the county lord is noble, and he is kind and generous, and can be an example for the women of your dynasty, Xiao Wang specially asked His Majesty to marry. ”
Emperor Xuanhua directly wanted to object, but just said that as long as the tile spur asked to marry, no matter who would agree, wouldn't it not count if he was opposition, how could the Son of Heaven regret his words, Emperor Xuanhua said coldly: "Do you know who Fulin is?"
Watt Thorn said unhurriedly: "Xiao Wang heard that the county lord was born to His Majesty's royal sister, and he grew up beside the queen and was pampered, Xiao Wang sincerely asked to marry, if the county lord marries to the Tatar Xiao Wang will definitely treat each other with the highest etiquette, and will definitely not let the county lord suffer a trace of grievances." ”
"Since you know that the county lord is my niece, what confidence do you have that I can marry the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family to your barbarian land?" Although Emperor Xuanhua does not see many blessings on weekdays, after all, he grew up beside the queen, not to mention the county lord who is his own royal sister, so the affection is naturally here.
When he heard this, he was not angry: "Xiao Wang knows that compared with the Central Plains, Tatar is short of materials and desolate landforms, but we Tatars have a vast area, endless grasslands, and galloping horses, which must not be scenes that can be seen in the Central Plains. ”
Kneeling down on one knee and said sincerely: "Xiao Wang is sincerely asking to marry, and I hope Your Majesty can agree." ”
Emperor Xuanhua's expression eased a little at this time, nodded and said: "You get up first, Fulin grew up next to the queen, and the queen is like a mother and daughter, I want to inform the queen about this matter." ”
At night, Emperor Xuanhua went to Jingyang Palace, Empress Chen was a little surprised to see His Majesty late at night, she and Your Majesty are young couples, and they have long passed the days of you and me, and now they are even more old, and Emperor Xuanhua only comes to sleep in the palace on the first day of the new month.
On weekdays, I stayed in the palace of the younger concubines, and in the past, I mostly stayed in the palace of the concubines, but now that I have Concubine Mei, I stay in the palace of Concubine Mei more.
I rarely come late at night, so why don't I come today?
Empress Chen felt compassion in her heart, and asked affectionately with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty came so late, could it be that you are looking for a concubine?"
Emperor Xuanhua looked at Empress Chen under the light, his exquisite makeup couldn't hide the wrinkles on his face, and a trace of white hair appeared on his head.
Empress Chen is still a few years younger than herself, she already looks old, this is the reason why Emperor Xuanhua is reluctant to see Queen Chen, seeing that Empress Chen seems to remind herself that she has also reached the twilight of her life.
Emperor Xuanhua patted the couch beside him and said, "The queen is here to talk to me." ”
Empress Chen was flattered and sat down with a smiling face and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong today, it seems that you have something on your mind?"
Emperor Xuanhua nodded and sighed: "The queen married into the mansion for more than ten years, but I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and so many years have passed in a panic. ”
"No, the concubines feel that they are old, and they often feel exhausted. Empress Chen didn't know why he mentioned this, and said with a smile.
"You have not changed in my heart, and you have worked hard all these years, from the palace to the harem, you are in charge of this in exchange for peace in the palace, and I see everything the queen has done. ”
Hearing Emperor Xuanhua's praise, Empress Chen felt a little uneasy: "Share your majesty's worries, these are what concubines should do." ”
Emperor Xuanhua nodded: "Fu Lin has also been by your side for more than ten years, right?"
"The county lord came to the concubine at the age of four, and it has been thirteen years now, and Fu Lin was just a doll back then, but now she has grown into a slim girl, and now it's time to find a county horse for her. Empress Chen said with a smile.
Empress Chen mentioned that Fu Lin had a soft light on her face, and she should have regarded Fu Lin as her own daughter, and Emperor Xuanhua continued: "Yes, when I was a little girl, I remembered that the imperial sister had just died, and I took her to the palace and didn't say anything to anyone. ”
The concubine also remembered that the county lord had been very timid when he first came, and he ignored anyone who spoke, but later he had been enlightening the concubine by his side, which was much better. ”
"Fulin is making trouble these days because of the second child?"
"Your Majesty said this to remind the concubine, these days Fulin has always looked restless, but never mentioned Rong'er, the concubine asked a few times and said that it was fine. Empress Chen frowned and said.
"The queen has a heart, and when she is blessed to the age when she should get married, it is inevitable that there will be something in her heart. Emperor Xuanhua said slowly: "Today, the thorn invited me to ask for a request to marry Fulin and kiss him." ”
Empress Chen didn't seem to believe her ears, and asked in surprise, "Let Fu Lin go and kiss, isn't there any other woman in the clan?"
"The candidate who wanted to be close to the tile spur that day was Xiahou Shuang, but I flatly refused, and promised the tile spur that if I fell in love with that woman, I would readily agree, and I didn't expect that the thing that the tile spur actually fell in love with. ”
