Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 227 Love at first sight

The news that Prince Ping’s mansion had added a concubine spread within a few days, and the various mansions that lacked resources for conversation in the New Year finally had something new to talk about, and soon Chang’an was rumored to be in Prince Ping’s fancy. The stunning beauty of the country and the city has somehow persuaded Princess Ping to join the mansion. Although there are a few people who are talking about whether Princess Ping has changed her temperament and wants to be free, most of them are waiting to see the meeting of Prince Ping. How about it.On the day of the opening of the court, the ministers in the court also wanted to see whether King Ping, who hadn't seen him during the Spring Festival, was rosy or frowning.It's a pity that they waited until daytime. On the day of the opening of the court, King Ping directly handed over a note to ask for sick leave.

They didn't believe this reason, and they couldn't help but speculate whether it was because King Ping couldn't come to the morning court because he couldn't get out of bed because of the beating.Hearing the rumors, the prince also came to Ping Wang's mansion to have a look, and he was a little surprised to see that Ping Wang was painting in the study well, and he didn't look sick at all.

"You didn't go to the morning court just to paint here?"

"I got up late in the morning, so I handed in a sick leave note. What's the matter, did the emperor find out?" Prince Ping asked pretending not to know, and looked at the prince with some fear.

Hearing this, the prince sighed, and said, "Father didn't say anything, but other people outside talked a lot. Don't you know what's going on outside? They said that you were beaten so badly by your siblings that your nose was bruised and your face was swollen. Come out to meet people."

"How can they say that?"

"Isn't it because of the stunning new Orchid in your mansion." The prince said, and slapped King Ping on the back, "You are blessed."

He has also been to Duke Wuguo's mansion, and he knows how beautiful the orchid is in Wuguogong's mansion. He never thought that Zhuhua would be so generous this time to ask for an orchid from Wuguogong to be a concubine for King Ping. Zhuhua must have known King Ping's talent, I'm afraid that King Ping would have a second heart, so he came up with such a way to hug him.If this is the case, then the rumors from the outside world are all against the truth. This time King Ping is really proud and doesn't need to be afraid of Zhuhua anymore.

"Isn't Sixth Brother the lucky one?" Ping Wang said with a smile.

When the prince heard this, he sighed slightly.On New Year's Eve, he and the crown princess consummated their marriage, and he also selected another candidate for the side concubine, who will enter the mansion in a few days.It's okay to hide one, but it's not easy to hide two or three. Fortunately, there are some things they won't know, and he still has things to hide.

"Sixth brother, in fact, the medicine can be cured." King Ping said, looking at the prince.

The prince snorted, looked at King Ping solemnly, and said, "I just pretend I've never heard of this."

"Yes, I didn't say that." King Ping responded gently.

He really hoped that King Ji would give birth to a prince, otherwise there would be a battle in the court in the future, if King Ji didn't want to, there was nothing he could do about it, imperial power and wealth were something that could not be matched in people's hearts.

There was another orchid in the mansion, which was nothing at all, in order to avoid suspicion, King Ping never went to the place where there were miscellaneous people in the backyard.But Zhuhua went there often, she and Hu Si chatted speculatively, and chatted with her some gossip from time to time, some of which she had never heard of before.There are some men who really dare to say anything to the person next to their pillow as long as they are drunk.

After chatting and chatting, she even learned how to dance with Hu Si.After Zhuhua gave birth to Jiajia, she inevitably gained some weight. Even if she insisted on exercising, her figure was still a little fatter.She doesn't have high demands on herself, it doesn't matter if she is a little fat, the key is to have a waist, even if she wears a chest-length skirt that doesn't show her waist all day long, she also hopes that her waist is thin, and only a thin waist can show breasts.

King Ping didn't know why Zhuhua went to see Hu Ji every day. Although it was rumored that she was going to punish this stunning beauty, King Ping knew that she was not.He complained in his heart that this orchid took too much time for Zhuhua, and he was afraid that she would spoil Wanhua's teaching. However, after Zhuhua danced a new dance for him, King Ping felt that this orchid was still a good girl. Useful.

A person like Zhuhua who is not at a disadvantage can never let people live and eat in her house for nothing.This year, she found a job for Wei Ba Niang to copy books. Anyway, copying Buddhist scriptures is also copying, copying scripts is also copying, and there is no waste of paper and ink.Hu Si won't stay in Prince Ping's Mansion for too long, and Zhuhua hasn't found anything she can do, so she just asks her to chat with her, and let her be a dance teacher by the way.

When Mrs. Sun heard about Hu Ji, she didn't remember to send someone over to ask about it. Thinking that Zhuhua was such an adult, she had some ideas in her heart.She is now discussing things for Changzi to look at. In fact, she has picked a few girls in the last year, and she is just waiting for Changzi to pick the one that suits his eyes.On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Chang Zi and Mrs. Sun went to the Daxiangguo Temple. No matter how reluctant he was, after repeated persuasion from his family, he had to agree to come and have a look.

I can go to Liangzhou in March, I gritted my teeth and thought.After getting off the carriage, Mrs. Sun pulled him and did not go in immediately, but stood with him in front of the temple gate.

Sun looked into the distance, pointed to the approaching carriage, and said, "That seems to be the carriage of Xu Mansion."

Mrs. Sun arranged for Changzi to be Xu Erniang, the second lady of Mr. Xu's family, Minister of Rites, and this is also Mrs. Sun's most promising candidate.This Xu Erniang is knowledgeable, up-to-date, rational and gentle, and is a good wife candidate for many people in Chang'an.Xu Erniang is seventeen this year, one year younger than Changzi, and they are about the same age.Mrs. Sun once saw this Xu Erniang at a banquet. She has a good appearance and a not thin figure, which is quite what she likes, but I don't know if Changzi likes it or not.

Looking at her son from the corner of the eye, Mrs. Sun found that her intestines were staring straight at the young lady, and she gave a huff in her heart. She poked her intestines with her elbow, then stepped forward and pulled Erniang Xu to praise her, and then went to He took a bracelet off his hand and put it on Xu Erniang's hand.Only then did Changzi come back to his senses, blushing with embarrassment, but glanced at Xu Erniang from time to time from the corner of his eye.Xu Erniang looks different from her three elder sisters, she is gentle and kind at first glance, and he feels good just by looking at her.

Seeing that her son was satisfied, Mrs. Sun also breathed a sigh of relief. After drinking tea with Mrs. Xu in the tea room, she let the two young men go out to talk.Changzi accompanied Xu Erniang for a stroll around the yard, and he didn't dare to talk to Xu Erniang during the period. Even when Xu Erniang asked him, he stuttered, and some of them couldn't even answer.When it was time to go back after eating, Changzi was a little reluctant to part, but Xu's side looked indifferent.Mrs. Sun already understood that the Xu family didn't like her son.

On the carriage back, Changzi was still giggling, and when he recovered, he said to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, I think Xu Erniang is very good."

Sun looked at him with some headaches, and asked: "We just met, and you think she's better? Can you tell me what's good?"

"It's all good anyway."

"What if people look down on you?" Sun asked tentatively.

"Ah? Why, what's wrong with me?" Guzi asked puzzledly, but now he came to his senses, and quickly took Sun's hand and asked, "Mother, what if she doesn't like me?"

"I don't know what to do either." Sun said with a sigh.

The worried two got out of the carriage, and Zhuhua knew that Changzi was going to see each other today, so she sent Qiuchu to find out the news.After chatting with Ruyi for a few words, Qiuchu went back to Prince Ping's mansion and told Zhuhua what he had heard.

"Princess, this Erniang Xu has too high a view, she doesn't even look down on our young master!" Qiu Chu said unfairly.

Zhuhua smiled, and said: "As long as she looks like a brash, most people really look down on her. It's okay if she doesn't like it once, and she will change her mind after a long time."

Xu Erniang was indeed dissatisfied after seeing the intestines.She didn't have a good impression of the Zhongguo Hou's Mansion, which has always had a bad reputation, and she just came out to meet him because she thought that the son of the Hou Mansion was considered to be a high-ranking man and could be admitted to a Jinshi. Doubts arose.Afterwards, the Hou Mansion replied that they wanted to ask her to meet again, but the Xu Mansion did not agree, which also meant to reject the marriage.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Sun also had a chat. Mrs. Sun looked like an enlightened mother-in-law, but she was still a little worried. After all, Mrs. Sun had a bad reputation, and her daughters were not easy-going lamps. Married to the past and suffered, she didn't even have a place to cry.She knew that the son of the Hou Mansion had taken a fancy to her daughter. After all, her intestines were so obvious that she had been staring at Xu Erniang, so she didn't know.As a mother-in-law, she is naturally willing to hand over her daughter to someone who cares about her, but this also requires her daughter's consent. Her two daughters have always been very assertive. If they don't nod, as a mother, she can't force her.The eldest daughter married a man of ordinary background but with a bright future according to her own wishes; the second daughter followed suit, and she had already said that she would choose by herself, and she, as a mother, couldn't stop her.

Because Mrs. Xu clearly refused, Sun had no choice but to persuade Changzi to turn his mind back and see other people, but Changzi was determined to see Xu Erniang again, and deliberately followed her carriage to talk to her whenever possible.Xu Erniang didn't like him in the first place, but now she even dislikes him a little.However, this is also a good thing for her. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that the son of the Zhongguohou Mansion is infatuated with the second daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Xu Erniang also has many families.

To say that although Xu Erniang is beautiful, she is not at the point where the country is overwhelmed. Even in the eyes of Zhuhua, who secretly took a look, she is too dignified, and she looks like a person with strict rules, which is not suitable for the intestines. , It is also not suitable for the brisk style of the Hou Mansion.But who made Changzi like it? Changzi didn’t even want to go to Liangzhou because of her, and he even said that he would try his best to let Xu Erniang see more of his goodness, and strive to get engaged to her at the end of the year and marry her next year.

Changzi is not going to Liangzhou anymore, Erbao and his wife are still going, as well as Husi.
