Ajiu

Chapter 186
Pei Lin was even more baffled, comforted her father a few words, and ran away in a hurry.

Both father and mother are acting weird today, panicking.

Third Master Pei and Mrs. Xu felt sorry for their youngest son, and they also felt sorry for the elderly Pei Ge, as if soaked in yellow lotus, miserable. "What is it for?" Mr. Pei looked up to the sky and sighed.

Mrs. Xu had a headache, "How can I explain to my parents? How can I talk to poor Xiao Ba? Mrs. Gong, Xiao Ba has been picking and choosing for so long, and he only likes this one. If I ask him to refuse him, I can't bear it. .”

Mr. Pei suddenly came up to Mrs. Xu, looked at her with piercing eyes, and startled her, "Sir, what's the matter with you?" Mr. Pei hurriedly reached out to pat her, "Good boy, don't be afraid. Yes In this way, I want to ask the second brother to ask the reason for me. Lady, let's find out the reason clearly. If we really have to, we will give up this heart. "

Mrs. Xu cheered up and pushed him away, "What are you waiting for? Go and go. Father is determined not to allow it. There must be a reason. We know it, and our hearts are clear."

Second Master Pei is an idler. He didn't enter the palace today, didn't visit friends, and sat in the study studying chess records.Seeing that Mr. Pei came with an aggrieved face, he smiled and asked him to sit down, "Sanlang, who bullied you? Tell the second brother." Mr. Pei kicked out all the boys in the study room, complaining: "Second brother Brother, it will be difficult for Xiao Ba to marry a wife..." He told Pei Lin what he was determined not to do with An'er, and he looked distressed.

Second Master Pei said gently: "Second Brother probably knows why. Sanlang, this matter is really difficult. Is Xiao Ba really interested in that girl? If so, you can wait for a few days to see if Second Brother can think of a way. "

Third Master Pei grabbed Second Brother's hand, with an earnest expression on his face, "Second Brother, whether Xiao Ba can marry a wife is entirely up to you!"

Second Master Pei smiled, "Second brother must do his best."

After Mr. Pei asked again and again, he left full of hope.

Second Master Pei opened a folding fan and shook it gently, thoughtfully.

It was summer, but the side hall of Qianqing Palace was completely cool.The emperor sat on the throne leisurely, and the crown prince stood in front of him, reporting military affairs one by one.Xiaozheng was sitting alone on the couch next to him, concentrating on playing with a handle made of Hetian jade.The emperor ordered someone to carve this handle for him. It was a very convenient size, beautiful in jade color, round and smooth, and he liked it very much.

After the crown prince reported, the emperor nodded with a smile, "Xiao Shi has put his heart into it, and these things are handled very well." After the crown prince reported the business, he began to be mischievous, "Can I do it if I don't pay attention? If I don't keep it all together, someday an inkstone will fly over, It could kill me."

Xiaozheng raised his head and looked at his father in surprise.

The crown prince smiled slightly, "Don't worry, son, dad is very skilled. Your grandfather hurt people with hard weapons countless times, but dad dodged them lightly and quickly."

Xiaozheng turned his head and looked at the emperor seriously.His eyes were dark, neither sad nor happy, and he didn't know what emotion he was expressing.

The emperor was very angry, "Xiao Shi, you dare to sow discord between my grandparents and Xiao Zhengzheng!"

The crown prince smiled hatefully, "Where is it, Xiao Shi is just telling the truth."

The emperor really wanted to catch Xiao Shi and beat him up, but, looking at his precious grandson, he decided not to be rough.If every old man in the world wants to beat his son, and Xiao Shi also plays Xiao Zhengzheng, then it's okay.

"Xiao Zhengzheng, is this handle fun?" The emperor asked his precious grandson lovingly.

Xiaozheng was looking at the jade handle in his hand, and nodded his head.The emperor smiled at Mimi, "Good grandson, let's play, have fun." Look at how nimble Xiao Zhengzheng's little hands are and how well he plays, this skilled craftsman who carves jade handles will be rewarded heavily in the future.

"Father." Xiao Zheng raised his face and called Dad, and the Crown Prince walked quickly to his side, "Son, do you miss Daddy? You play for a while, and Daddy will come to accompany you when he finishes his business." Xiao Zheng was rushing He smiled, and shoved the jade handle in his hand diligently.

The crown prince felt relieved, and picked up the handle to show off to the emperor, "Look, my son kisses me so much." The emperor was very disdainful, "Xiao Shi, how big is your palm, do you hold this handle in your hand? That is It's specially made for Xiaozhengzheng, understand."

"Anyway, my son kissed me." The crown prince was still proud.

The emperor was almost furious, the crown prince returned the handle to Xiao Zhengzheng, "Good boy, have fun by yourself." Xiao Zhengzheng grinned happily, and then focused on playing with the handle.The crown prince walked up to the emperor and sat down, smiling flatteringly, "Father, the list you gave me cannot be reused. Then, can intermarriage be allowed?"

The emperor ignored him with a dark face.

The crown prince's face became sad, "Father, I feel that I am sorry for my junior sister, and I feel extremely guilty. My junior sister feels that she is sorry for my brothers, and I am also extremely guilty. Me and my junior sister live in guilt all day long..."

Mrs. Xu often went to the palace to visit Ajiu, so she couldn't help but tell about Pei Lin and Miss Jin's family.Ajiu originally felt that she had turned her brothers into relatives, and felt sorry for them. This made her feel even more guilty, "If it wasn't because of me, the starling wouldn't have to endure this kind of pain."

The crown prince whispered about his distress with his younger junior sister, and the emperor patted him gloatingly, "Xiao Shi, your brother-in-law's affection for that girl is similar to your affection for Ah Jiu back then, right?"

Well, see you infatuated boy again.

The crown prince shook his head, "It's not comparable. Dad, my junior sister and I are childhood friends, childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, starlings are not comparable."

"Since it's not as good as it is, then it's still gone?" The emperor frowned.

It's not that she is deeply in love, and it's not that she has to be, just chattering or anything.

"My junior sister and I were sorry for my brothers." The Crown Prince muttered in a low voice, "My brothers are all talented, but they are all at home."

"Is it because I don't allow them to serve as officials?" the emperor asked coldly.

"It was grandfather who forbade them to become officials." The crown prince lowered his head.

Xiaozheng seemed to feel that the situation here was different, and poked his head to look here.The emperor smiled, "Xiao Shi, let Pei Jiayang be a matchmaker." It's not a big deal, it's not worth disappointing Xiao Shi and Ajiu.However, Xiao Shi and Ajiu are too soft-hearted, and they still need to practice hard in the future.

The crown prince thanked happily, "You are the most reasonable father in the world!" The emperor chuckled, "I am still the most reasonable emperor in the world." Anyway, you are only one father, and there is only one emperor in the world. Compare.

They both laughed, Xiaozheng was looking at this and that, a flower-like smile bloomed on his fair and delicate face.

After the emperor's permission, Second Master Pei personally invited Jin Tongzheng to sit down at Yuhua Terrace and asked about An'er slowly.Jin Tongzheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the meaning behind Pei Erye's words.An'er is his only daughter, and his marriage has always worried him.An'er is the granddaughter of the eldest princess and the only beloved daughter of You Tongzheng. Of course, there are many people who come to propose marriage.However, among the families who came to ask for marriage, none of them met his wishes at all.Either the children are not good enough, or the family style is not rigorous enough, neither of them are worthy of his An'er.He knows the family style of the Pei family, and he has also met the grandchildren of Mr. Pei Ge. They are all gentle and elegant, and there is no bad one.

"My little eighth is the youngest among the brothers, so he is spoiled." Second Master Pei smiled, "He is not young, and he has always wanted to marry a lively and lovely girl as his wife. Don't worry about him."

Lively and cute, it turns out that it is because of being lively and cute.Jin Tongzheng understood it.It's not that the Pei family chose the Princess Longqing's mansion, and they don't value their official position, they just like An'er herself.

It was the first time for the two of them to talk about this matter, and they were just talking about it, but they didn't make it very clear.Second Master Pei was transparent, and Jin Tongzheng was also a smart person. The two drank the wine politely and parted ways politely.

After Jin Tongzheng returned home, he discussed with his wife Xiangshi, "I met Balang Pei, he is such a good boy." Xiangshi frowned, "No matter how good the child is, the Pei family is also the princess's natal family."

However, because her daughter became the crown princess, Pei Mi became Lord Marquis, and Mrs. Lin became Mrs. Hou, receiving rewards for nothing.

Comparing this princess with the previous one is heart-wrenching.How unlucky the former princess was, but this princess is so lucky.

Jin Tongzheng's chest was cold, "Forget it, let's do this."

With countless past events in front of her eyes, it is difficult for An'er to marry into Pei's family easily.That being the case, forget it.

Xiangshi was worried, "If I push it, will the Crown Princess be unhappy? The Crown Princess is not a magnanimous woman."

She controls the East Palace, and the East Palace has no other concubines except her; she must retaliate, and Mrs. Jing Guo, Mrs. Jin Xiang, etc., are severely punished just because they disagree with her...

If the Jin family disobeyed her, I don't know what would happen to her.

"No." Jin Tongzheng said gently: "Mr. Pei is my old boss. He is very personable. I know it."

Everyone knows that Pei Mi is a modest gentleman.

Xiang Shi was not as frank as Jin Tongzheng, and came up with a compromise method, "It's better to delay first, or to say that the characters are inconsistent."

Jin Tongzheng laughed, "Why do you need to do this? Lord Pei just mentioned it vaguely. If our family doesn't answer, I believe the Pei family will not mention it again. Madam, don't think too much. Today This is Marquis Pei's treat, and I will return the dinner the day after tomorrow, and if there is no mention of marriage during the dinner, he will naturally understand."

Xiangshi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Jin Tongzheng gently, "That's it."

That night, the husband and wife were lying together, Xiangshi slept until midnight, and suddenly sat up, shaking Jin Tongzheng awake, "Master, if An'er marries into the Pei family, will it be able to help Concubine Tang's two biological daughters?"

The abolished concubine Tang has two biological daughters. Those two poor girls are now locked up together with their parents and younger brothers.

Jin Tongzheng didn't fall asleep at first, but when he heard Xiangshi's words, he lowered his face, "It's fine for An'er not to marry, but if she does, don't mention anything related to the Tang family! My lady, a daughter is a daughter, not a tool! "

When An'er gets married, she only needs to consider her happiness.As for saving Concubine Tang's own daughter, it was not An'er's mission.

Xiangshi and Jin Tongzheng have been married for many years and have always been loving. Seeing her husband's expression changed, she agreed aggrievedly and lay down again.

It was a sleepless night.

For the first time in history, Xiangshi also went to the lotus feast in the palace this year with her mother-in-law and daughter.Ajiu only knew that the emperor had given permission, and her grandfather had no objection. Her father had already mentioned it to Jin Tongzheng, but she didn't know if the Jin family had replied, so she was naturally very friendly with Xiangshi.

Pei Lin is a few months older than Ah Jiu, and is an older brother.But in Ajiu's impression, Pei Lin was the little boy who was roasting sweet potatoes in the garden but would pull them out with a wooden stick from time to time to check whether they were cooked. The little boy with tears on his face, he is immature, innocent, and needs the protection of his relatives.Ah Jiu couldn't bear to let him down, let alone let him down because of herself.

If he hadn't become a crown princess, there would be nothing wrong with Mynah and An'er.The emperor's father just said that the people on the list cannot be reused, not that they cannot be used. If he is not the princess, there is nothing wrong with the starling marrying An'er.

"She is usually so arrogant and sees no one in her eyes, but once she asks for something, she will be so kind and approachable." Seeing Ajiu's easy-going and humorous, Xiangshi felt contemptuous in his heart.

"My teacher and my wife have treated me with great kindness, let me at least do something for their granddaughter. Otherwise, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." Looking at the delicate and beautiful Xinhe in the pond, Xiangshi felt desolate in his heart.

returning a Favour many times more.I have enjoyed such love once, and I will never forget it in my life.

"I have some selfish words, I don't know if I can say them to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." Xiangshi said softly.

Ajiu smiled, "Madam, if it's convenient, please sit in the East Palace after the banquet."

Xiang Shi obediently agreed.

"... Tang Ge is a loyal and loyal elder, who doesn't know? Back then he rejected the title of Marquis. He was high-spirited and upright, and all the scholars admired him. His granddaughter should be treated preferentially..." Xiangshi said with a low eyebrow, pleasing to the eye, His expression was unusually calm and determined.

Akumi rolled her eyes.

"If Her Highness the Crown Princess can keep the two young princesses safe and sound, the concubine will do as Her Highness the Crown Princess wishes." Xiangshi said neither humble nor overbearing.

Starling, I can't bear to let you down, but I really can't bear it!Ah Jiu wanted to fight the case.

This Xiangshi who rarely showed his face turned out to be a madman.When she came to the East Palace, she came here to negotiate a condition with the Crown Princess: You save Tang's two biological daughters, and I promise to marry them to be your natal sister-in-law.

"Brother, how deep is your affection for that An'er girl? If I turn my back on Xiangshi, will you be sad if you can't marry An'er?" Ah Jiu was about to pat the table. A moment ago, thinking of the starling, I forcibly held back.

Starling, I have to ask clearly before making a decision.

When it comes to your lifelong happiness, I cannot be careless.

Xiangshi looked at Ajiu reservedly, waiting for Ajiu's reply.

A figure of a young man appeared at the gate of the hall. He was about 20 years old, tall and tall, with a handsome and gentle face.

"Your Majesty, Balang of the Pei family, Pei Lin." He walked slowly into the hall, and bowed slightly to Xiangshi, "Ma'am, the Pei family has nothing to ask for from your house, and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess also has nothing to ask from your house." .”

Xiangshi's expression changed.

Didn't it mean that he likes lively and lovely girls, he has been picking and choosing for many years, and he only likes An'er.Didn't it mean that the Pei family dotes on his youngest son very much, and they have worked hard for his marriage.

After Pei Lin finished speaking, she looked at Ajiu apologetically.Ajiu's heart moved, and she whispered: "Brother, don't force yourself." If you really like that girl, let's find a way.

Pei Lin smiled, "Sister, Mynah didn't force himself."

The eyes of the two brothers and sisters met, Pei Lin's eyes were apologetic and relieved, and Ajiu's eyes were clear and slightly joyful.

Ajiu smiled and said, "Madam Xiang, I have guests, so I won't let you sit longer, please go ahead." She immediately kicked them out.

As if he didn't believe it, Xiangshi looked at Ajiu and Pei Lin, gritted his teeth and said, "How lofty and admirable Mr. Tang Ge is..."

Ajiu interrupted her politely, "My father Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, and once he won the second place in the list, he naturally wanted to serve in the court and rise up step by step. However, he is the grandfather of the emperor's grandson, so he had to avoid suspicion and resigned. He can lose the position of the third-rank general political envoy. Why can't he get it because of the emperor's grandson? The emperor's grandson's grandfather was granted the title of Marquis of Guangning, why not?"

Isn't it just accusing my father of not being lofty by saying how old Tang Ge is noble?nonsense.

The female officer next to her had a wink, seeing that the princess was displeased, she reprimanded: "His Royal Highness has already issued an order, and Xiangshi is not polite to leave?"

"Brother, why are you here?" Ajiu was curious.

"I came to talk to my sister. She has guests, so I waited in the side room. I heard what Xiangshi said." Pei Lin blushed, "Sister, I didn't know it would be like this. Grandpa urged me, I see The girl in his family is pretty playful, so I decided to settle it. If I knew it would embarrass my sister, I wouldn't want it."

"Then, what kind of feelings do you have for that girl?" Ajiu fainted.

Myna, how much thought have we put into you, how dare you do business for Xu's grandfather?

"I like it. But, I just like it." Pei Lin looked sincere.

Ajiu lay down on the table weakly.

Starling, I want to hit you...

Pei Lin was bored staying in the capital, so she left early to go back to her hometown to take the provincial examination.This turmoil was never mentioned in Pei's family.

"Next time, I must ask, Lin'er, do you want her not to marry, or 'just like it'." Mr. Pei muttered in a low voice.

"That's right." Mrs. Xu nodded embarrassingly.

The crown prince and Ajiu, the loving couple who were childhood sweethearts, spent a warm, beautiful, and unforgettable summer.This summer, their relationship is stronger than the weather, and the two are always tender and inseparable.When the autumn wind began to rise, Ajiu gradually felt tired, and often lazily announced to the imperial physician, who knelt down to congratulate after taking the pulse, "Princess Concubine, I am happy."

Knowing this good news, not only the emperor and the crown prince were happy, but even the queen Zhang was happy, "Finally again." No matter how much she dislikes Ah Jiu, as the crown prince's biological mother, she is still very willing to see It was imported by Donggong Tianren.

There are rewards from top to bottom in the palace, and everyone is happy.

"Your mother is going to give you a younger brother." The crown prince picked up Xiao Zhengzheng, and happily told him.

Xiaozheng had a straight face, expressionless.

"My brother will kiss you very much." The crown prince said seductively.

Xiao Zhengzheng remained calm.

"Brother is very fun." The crown prince smiled.

"Is it fun to have a lamb? Is it fun to have a baby elephant? Is it fun to have a little lion?"

"Yes." The crown prince was sure.

"Then, let's add." Xiaozheng nodded reluctantly.

"Naughty boy." The crown prince couldn't help laughing.

Ajiu was lazily leaning on the couch, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Xiaozhengzheng is not good at talking yet, if he becomes articulate, will he bargain with his father, "It must be fun. If it's not fun, return it!"
