Chapter 288 Bao and Princess
"Father, how is your illness?" Jiajia asked without any ups and downs, then smiled triumphantly at King Ping who was looking up, and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse.

King Ping's health is basically healed. After taking the medicine and being taken good care of him, most of his illnesses will be cured within a few days.

Jia Jia took the pulse but shook his head and said: "Baby, I have to change the prescription, add more Coptis chinensis, Gentian, Sophora flavescens..."

King Ping picked up the book and tapped him on the head, then pulled back his hand that was feeling the pulse and said calmly, "Is your mother still angry?"

"My mother has such a good temper, how could she be angry? Or did my father do something wrong to my mother? Others are telling your father that you fell out with your mother because of a confidante."

"It's not because of your business." Ping Wang said, and glanced at Jiajia.

Jiajia didn't answer what he just asked, stood up and said, "I'll make the medicine first, I'll talk about it after my father has drunk the medicine."

Is this child his own, King Ping wondered with a sigh.When Jia Jia walked out of the house, he saw a rather handsome girl helping him open the curtain, so he took a second look, knowing that this person was Aunt Qiuchu's goddaughter, so he looked away.When he came back after decocting the medicine, the person who served King Ping had already replaced the servant by his side, and he never saw this girl again in the mansion after that.

I don't know if the bitter medicine prescribed by every family has worked, but King Ping will recover after three or two days.Zhuhua waited for him to recover, so she ordered people to pack up and go back to Prince Ping's mansion, but King Ping was not allowed to go back to the main house and let him live in the courtyard of each family.

Yesterday, the Western Vietnam Mission had already entered Beijing, and Zhuhua also went out to meet the princess in a teahouse on the street.Because through the veil, her eyesight is not as good as the young Jiajia's, and she can't see clearly, but some people are talking about this princess is not full, why is she so thin?Nowadays, on the streets of Chang'an City, the women who go out are all plump, and they don't think there is anything wrong with this, but they think that those who are thin and weak can't stand on the stage.

Zhuhua has no special requirements on the fatness and thinness of her future daughter-in-law, and even her appearance is fine as long as she is not ugly. She is just worried about the girl's bad temperament.

On the same day, the Ministry of Rites held a dust-cleaning banquet for the envoys, and the king of Nanyang County was in charge of receiving them.

Princess Baohe, as the most honorable and important person in the mission, will also attend. At that time, there will be a screen in the banquet venue for the princess, and Meng will be in charge of accompanying her.The envoys arrived in Chang'an for the first time, and the dinner didn't last too long. Everyone just chatted a few words and roughly exchanged opinions between the two sides.

After the banquet, the King of Nanyang County accompanied Meng Shi back to the mansion in a carriage, and chatted about Baohe Princess on the way.Yuan Tai knew that Jiajia might marry the princess, so he asked Meng Shi to pay more attention.

When he asked about it, Meng said, "Looks like he has an idea."

Nowadays, all the girls on the street have their own ideas, but seeing Meng's words are solemn, Yuan Tai guessed that she was probably stubborn and could not hide his clumsiness.Yuan Tai knew that Zhuhua was not satisfied with the marriage, but the family had no objection, and he didn't know what the rules were in Uncle Ping's mind.Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of sharp blades cutting across the sky outside. Yuan Tai recognized it as the sound of crossbow arrows, frowned slightly, and heard two more sounds of people falling to the ground.

Meng Shi didn't hear it, but the carriage stopped suddenly, which made her look at Yuan Tai suspiciously. Seeing his serious face, and the sound of weapons clashing outside, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out.Yuan Tai sat calmly, and reached out to hold Meng Shi's hand.Meng shi came back to her senses and smiled faintly at him.

Within a quarter of an hour, the noise outside stopped, and the carriage continued on its way.Yuan Tai didn't get out of the carriage, and he didn't ask any more questions. When the carriage arrived safely at Nanyang County Prince's Mansion, he helped Mrs. Meng get out of the carriage.

"You go in first and have a good rest." He said at the door.

Meng Shi glanced at him, nodded obediently, saluted him and entered the mansion.After the door of the mansion was closed, Yuan Tai got into the carriage again and sat for a while before stopping in front of Prince Ping's mansion.The guard at the gate recognized Yuan Tai, and let him in without any notification.

At this moment, King Ping has arrived and is waiting for him in the study of Mingze Courtyard.Fortunately, these dzi bead flowers are still quarreling with him, and he is not allowed to enter the house, so he can only live in the Mingze courtyard where the family lives, otherwise she will feel uneasy when she hears the noise.

Yuan Tai entered the academy, met with King Ping, and told about the assassination. At the end, he sneered: "I don't know how to find some people with black spots, even if they wear Xiyue clothes, they don't look like Xiyue people."

"Although this matter cannot be made public, it can be used to defraud the Western Vietnam Mission, letting them know that many people in the Kang Dynasty are unwilling to lend a helping hand."

"My nephew understands."

The two discussed in the study for a while, and finally he also talked about meeting Bao and Princess today.

"You have a heart." Ping Wang sighed, but Zhuhua had to nod for this matter.

Yuan Tai also knew this, said a few words of comfort, and then returned home.

One day later, Zhuhua and Gongzhong met Baohe Princess.The Empress Dowager summoned her in the palace, and also asked several wives to accompany her. Zhuhua took a look and found that all these wives had sons of the right age, and Princess Yiyang and her daughter-in-law were also there.After a few calculations, Princess Yiyang has several grandchildren who are about 15 years old, and they match Princess Baohe.She even looked at Madam Huguohou, the wife of Xu Qingqing's half-brother; and Madam Dingguohou.

Seeing them, Zhuhua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there are so many people to choose from, and there is no need to choose everyone.However, she never thought that if one day the chaos in Xiyue continued and the people of the Kang Dynasty cooperated internally and externally, it would be more than a simple matter of throwing away a few cities.If the present prince also has a rebellious heart towards Kang Chao in the future, Kang Chao can still support the son of the previous prince, then Bao and Princess' son-in-law will be of great use.

The queen mother was getting old, and after chatting with everyone, she handed over the matter to Concubine Gao Xian; the queen was ill again at the moment, otherwise she would be the one who came forward.Everyone talked on the phone, and reluctantly chatted with Bao and Princess, but they could see that everyone didn't want this daughter-in-law.Baohe Princess didn't understand Chinese very well. She never thought that she would marry Kang Chao before, but when she knew she could get married, she learned some on the way and could barely understand a few words.She tried to smile at them, looking a little pitiful.

Zhuhua took a look at her, and felt that Jiajia's words were correct. This princess looks pretty good, but she is dark and thin, but this is not a problem. After a few years of good care, she may grow up in the future. The beauty of the country.After the banquet was over, when she was leaving the palace, she heard several wives saying "too thin to bear children", she silently nodded in agreement behind them.

When I returned to the mansion, as soon as I entered the gate, my family greeted me.Seeing his anxious expression, Zhuhua seemed to really care about this marriage, so she took a closer look at him.

"Mother, have you seen it?" Jiajia asked with a smile.

Zhuhua nodded slightly, and said, "Everyone doesn't like her."

"What about the mother?"

It's not easy for Zhuhua to answer this question, and it's just that it's hard to say whether she likes it or not, especially a pretty girl, but if she is asked to be a wife, she will refuse.

Jiajia knew that Zhuhua didn't like getting married, so they took Zhuhua's hand and persuaded her to go for a walk in the garden. Zhuhua knew that Jiajia would definitely come to persuade her, but she was a little helpless, because she seemed to be the only one making trouble for no reason In general, obviously other people are also against it?

Accompanying her, Jia Jia walked around the garden for a long time. Many flowers and plants in the garden turned yellow this season. Jia Jia pointed to them and talked about the flowers and plants that Zhu Hua taught him to identify back then.Some pearl flowers whose names he didn't know at that time, he now recognizes them all, and he can even tell their medicinal effects and what diseases they are useful for.

Zhuhua listened with a faint smile, and felt that her child was indeed growing up, even though she still looked like a child in front of her, she had a plan in her heart.

In the end, Jia's family delivered pearl flowers to the gate of the main courtyard, shook her sleeves and looked at her anxiously.Zhuhua knew it, brushed his hand away, and walked back to the yard with heavy steps.As the royal daughter-in-law, she has never felt that this status has any special meaning, but it is meaningful to them.

A few days later, the emperor issued a decree to marry Xiyue Bao and the princess to Prince Ping's son, and reached an agreement with Xiyue, and sent a lot of supplies to Xiyue.Most of the people from the West Vietnam Mission left immediately, leaving only a few people in charge of the princess's wedding.It was a difficult time for Xiyue, and Bao and the princess didn't have much dowry. Zhuhua looked at the dowry that 56 carried with difficulty, but couldn't say anything. There were [-] carried by the Ministry of Rites to help buy it.

Fortunately, every family's dowry was also paid by the national treasury. Except for a few things that were necessary for the ceremony, everything else was replaced with food and medicinal materials.People from the West Vietnam Mission were quite happy to receive it, and thought it was more useful than silk and vases.

Since it is a marriage, people have already reached the Kang Dynasty. At the end of the year, Princess Bao and Princess married Jiajia and lived in the expanded Pingwang Mansion.The wedding was very lively, the imperial court sent many people to help, and the people in Prince Ping's Mansion only had to be in charge of the wedding banquet, and even the expansion of Prince Ping's Mansion was done by the Ministry of Industry rushing to work day and night.

As a mother-in-law-to-be, Zhuhua was not happy at all for being able to help her family find a daughter-in-law with such ease.But no matter how unhappy she is, so what can she do? On the day of Jiajia's wedding, she had to pretend to be happy, laughing until her face froze.I don't know if she was suspicious, but she always felt that other people's congratulations had a taste of gloating, which made her want to overturn the table more than once to say that the wedding banquet would not be held.But she didn't lift it after all, everyone watched and laughed so happily, just like the intestines when they got married back then, she didn't even notice.

King Ping was also very happy, because Jia's family was officially married, and he also moved back to the main courtyard from Mingze courtyard. Even if Zhuhua still didn't allow him to go back to live in the house, at least he was not far away from her.
