Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 473 Extra Story: Jia Wan

As the name suggests, the second princess is a girl who loves to laugh.

Smiling like a bright moon.

She is lively, doesn't like to follow the rules, and has the same temperament as the fourth princess, so even though the two sisters are seven or eight years apart, they can still play together.

But the best friend in the boudoir is Ye Yun's niece, Ye Shuran.

Ning Chen did not restrict the princesses from going out of the palace, so the second princess often went to Ye Mansion with the fourth princess.

The more he travels outside, the more chances he will meet people. Just this year, he met Gu Cong, the second son of the Gu family.

The Gu family is an upstart who has just arrived in Kyoto in recent years. He has been a martial artist. His father has been suppressing bandits in the west for many years, and has made many military exploits.

In the capital, a third-rank official is not considered a high-ranking official, and the second son of a third-rank general is naturally not considered dazzling among the high-ranking princes in Kyoto.

But I can't stand Gu Cong's good looks.

The young man is in high spirits, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he has a vigorous and handsome figure, and his peach blossom eyes have attracted the hearts of many girls.

Before he came to the capital, apart from the prince, Xu Qinglin, the eldest son of Xu Shangshu's family, was the dreamer of many ladies in the capital. After he came, half of them were also divided.

The girls often commented in private that the young master of the Xu family is as gentle as jade, as if in spring, while the young master of the Gu family is as fierce as the scorching sun in fresh clothes and angry horses.

Xu Qinglin was accompanied by the crown prince, who often went to the palace and saw a lot, so when he heard that the ladies in Beijing praised the young master of the Gu family so much, the second princess became a little curious.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a dragon boat race. This year, the crown prince is the host, and a dragon boat race is held, and the princes of Beijing and China are invited to join in the fun.

Naturally, it is not rowing like a fleet, but a special boat is used, two people are in a team, and they are racing in the moat on the outskirts of Beijing.

The second princess became very playful today, she dressed up as a man and went out, standing with Ye Shuran like a brother and sister.

Gu Cong would naturally also come for the crown prince's team, but he came a bit late, because he had not been in Beijing for a long time and had no familiar playmates, so he was placed on the order when the team was formed.

According to the rules, only a team of two can participate in the competition, and Gu Cong made a difficult decision immediately.

It stands to reason that his martial arts alone can throw off others, so he can't compete if he can't stand it.

Zhengchou saw the second princess who was at the front of the crowd, dressed as a man, and strode past with stretched brows.

"Gu Cong, the second son of General Zhaowu, would like to invite your son to participate in the competition. I wonder if it is possible?"

Both of them were taken aback when they met him.

Ye Shuran was about to explain, but was stopped by the second princess.

He intentionally made a rough voice, and bowed his hands, "Young Master Gu invites you, how can you refuse."

Gu Cong, who was used to being in the army, immediately heard that something was wrong, and scanned the waist carefully, and saw that there was clearly a girl in front of him.

It is rare to see such a bold woman, Gu Cong saw through it without saying anything, lowered his eyes and smiled, and brought her onto the boat.

"Girl sit still, just leave it to the next person."

Gu Cong stood behind the second princess holding his gun, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"you know"

Before the second princess could finish speaking, Gu Cong quickly moved the oars in his hands, and drove forward amidst the sound of drums.

There are blue waves and scorching sun in front of you, noisy crowds on both sides of the strait, and a handsome young man behind you.

The second princess blushed for the first time.

When the boat docked, Gu Cong came out on top.

The first prize is a peacock feather hairpin.

With a smile on his face, Gu Cong offered it with both hands.

"I don't know the girl's boudoir name, how old is she, do you have a marriage contract?"

"girl!"

A shout interrupted the conversation between the two, and it was the servants who rushed over.

Hearing that the princess was dragged away to race a dragon boat, the servants were all scared to death, and ran after her along the river, only to see someone on the shore.

The second princess looked at the servants, knowing that she had to go, she smiled and said.

"Ning Jiaguan, there is no engagement, thank you son for the hairpin, see you again."

Gu Cong wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard the surname Ning and saw the group of servants rushing over, he knew that she was a noble girl.

Ning Nai is the surname of the emperor, so she must be a girl from some clan.

Gu Cong clenched his fists slightly, his eyes followed the second princess's back until that figure disappeared into the crowd.

I thought that seeing this would mean goodbye forever, but I didn't expect that Gu Cong would appear in the palace more than three months later.

His father asked someone to find him an official position as an imperial guard.

Gu Cong's martial arts skills are not bad, and he is quite tactful in his dealings with others. He soon got mixed up, but at a young age, he can often be by the emperor's side.

That's why, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the two met again.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Cong didn't inquire carefully because he was afraid of being rude to the noble daughter of the royal family. When I saw you today, I was shocked to find that the girl I met that day was actually a princess.

If it is said that marrying a clan daughter, working hard, there is still a chance to earn an official title, but if it is a princess, then it is unthinkable.

Gu Cong was disappointed in his heart, but also very unwilling.

But this fate has never been a matter of one person, he dare not approach, but the second princess is never afraid of anything.

So Ning Chen found that the little padded jacket became more and more considerate, and the number of times he personally delivered soup, refreshments or purse fan pendants became more and more frequent.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Ning Chen sent someone to watch, and found that the second princess was looking for a chance to have a word with a young guard when she came back.

Yuan Jiu secretly went to see and came back to report that he was the second son of the Gu family.

He has a handsome life, excellent martial arts skills, and a good family tradition.

General Gu has only one concubine, who gave birth to a daughter, and his first wife gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the family is harmonious.

Ning Chen laughed and scolded Yuan Jiu as a thief, but Yuan Jiu smiled and said nothing.

Xin said, the girl is getting older, isn't that just a matter of concern.

But her daughter was not in a hurry, so Ning Chen stood still and kept an eye on Gu Cong's movements, fearing that her daughter would suffer.

In the past half a year, the two became more and more acquainted.

Although they didn't express their intentions, they understood each other.

Gu Cong worked hard and did well in the imperial army, and soon he will be assigned to the military department as an official, and his father will also be promoted to the second rank.

In this way, soon enough to propose a marriage.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, and the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to marry the princess.

At that time, the third and fourth princesses had not yet reached the age of Ji, the eldest princess had already married, and only the second princess was of the right age.

Of course you can not marry, but the relationship between the two countries will be more rigid.

Although Nan Qi won the battle fought more than ten years ago, he also suffered a loss.

It is of no use to the people to fight again.

The second princess could not sleep all night.

She already has her own heart, so she naturally doesn't want to get married. Considering her father's love for many years, she understands that she should also take on the responsibility of a princess. For the sake of the people of Nanqi, she has to give up her ego.

Unexpectedly, when she came to Jiuchen Palace to ask for marriage, a familiar figure knelt down earlier.

It's Gu Cong.

He came to marry the second princess.

Ning Chen was furious, and the teacup in his hand unceremoniously smashed on Gu Cong's shoulder.
