At this moment, Queen Ma was extremely satisfied with He Xi, her future son-in-law.
Queen Ma thought for a while and said loudly: "Here comes someone."
Immediately, a nun came over from outside. She saluted and said, "Your Majesty, my servant is here."
Queen Ma said: "Go and invite An Qing to come here."
The nanny immediately agreed and said, "Yes."
Empress Ma said to He Xi: "Since you two want to be in love, I will let you and your unmarried couple formally meet today. Speaking of which, I came to Anqing last time and said that I really like you."
Queen Ma naturally knew that Zhu Yuanzhang went to see Anqing and frightened Princess Anqing with a few words. Princess Anqing came to plead for mercy. She was unwilling to let more than a dozen people lose their lives because of her fault. But there were some things that were difficult to say, so she just
You can coquettishly say what you like.
Of course, there is some sincerity, some hypocrisy, and some necessity in this statement. Princess Anqing probably doesn’t know either.
If Princess Anqing really has no feelings for He Xi at all, and even hates him extremely much, it is impossible to say it out loud. But if Princess Anqing fell in love with He Xi at first sight and would not marry her unless she was her, that is not true.
It's just a vague feeling of affection, and I'm not even sure if it's a relationship between a man and a woman.
But now that Queen Ma wants to bring the two of them together, she naturally won't say such things.
He Xi heard Queen Ma say that Princess Anqing liked him. Her heartbeat quickened for a moment and she felt a little uneasy.
He Xi and Princess Anqing only met once. However, Princess Anqing also left a deep impression on He Xi. It can even be said that Princess Anqing was the most beautiful woman He Xi saw in ancient times. Of course, this is not the case.
It’s not that Princess Anqing is the most beautiful woman in the world.
But He Xi really didn't see many beauties during his time in the Ming Dynasty.
Needless to say in the palace.
Although there were maids in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was a simple man. The maids in the palace wore simple clothes, only cotton and linen, no silk or satin. They relied on clothes and saddles, and there were no exquisite clothes or cosmetics. Unless they were the kind of elegance, they would not show off.
A woman's appearance.
Moreover, when I go out to do business, I see only men, and it is rare to see women coming out to show off. Even if they do come out to show off, they will not be dressed up. That is to say, in Hangzhou, I have seen a few beauties. However, He Xi
When he was in Hangzhou, he was on tenterhooks and didn't dare to enjoy it. After handling the Guo Huan case, he didn't dare to get too close to Tang Shengzong. Therefore, He Xi could only accept the kindness of these two people.
Therefore, the world is not without beauties, but the only one He Xi has ever seen is Princess Anqing.
After all, the women in the palace were all nominally the emperor's. He Xi did not dare to look too far. After all, Princess Anqing was Empress Ma's beloved daughter and the apple of Zhu Yuanzhang's eye. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was frugal, he would not fail to be more frugal with his daughter.
She is at the age of eighteen, which is the most beautiful time for a woman. Not to mention, as a true princess, the aura she has developed since she was a child is far superior to other women.
Not to mention that Princess Anqing has a good foundation. Coupled with the bonus of clothing and accessories, and her own princess temperament, even women who look similar to Princess Anqing can still compete with Princess Anqing.
A beautiful woman, and she is a princess, suddenly says that she likes you.
When the man heard this, his heart swayed.
After all, men have a big misconception about women. They think that this girl likes them. Many people know that it is just an illusion. Now it is true. He Xi has an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he has returned to high school, that kind of shock
, joy.
At this time, Princess Anqing arrived.
As soon as Princess Anqing came in, she saw He Xi. As soon as she saw He Xi, she remembered what she had said to her mother the day before yesterday. She felt her chest pounding and her face suddenly turned red. For a moment, she even forgot to salute Queen Ma.
.
Empress Ma smiled slightly and said, "Okay. An Qing and He Xi can go for a walk outside. I'm tired."
Immediately, Queen Ma stood up, called a nanny, and held Queen Ma's hand. Queen Ma whispered to the nanny beside her: "Go, send two people to follow them. Keep an eye on them from a distance, and don't let them notice.
I don’t want them to cause anything before they get married.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to etiquette and is very strict in the discipline of his children, Empress Ma is not a person who follows etiquette. It was her discerning eye that chose Zhu Yuanzhang back then. There were no such rules and regulations in those days. Therefore, Empress Ma gave
An opportunity for the two of them to meet in private.
Of course, there is still a bottom line.
She didn't want to have a grandson before they even got married.
The nun said, "I understand."
-------
Empress Ma suddenly left, leaving He Xi and Princess Anqing in the cold.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say, especially when there were several nuns standing silently beside them, looking like statues.
Maybe Princess Anqing was used to having people around her all the time, but He Xi wasn't used to it.
He Xi thought for a long time and felt that she could not let the girl speak first, so she said, "Am I sorry for Brother Fu Zhong?"
Princess Anqing said: "Why are you sorry for him?"
He Xi thought Fu Zhong was at the Ordnance Bureau and said it. Finally, he said: "Now I have broken my promise."
Princess Anqing said: "What? Secretary Lang He is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, but now he feels uncomfortable because the little girl broke his promise."
Princess Anqing's current state of mind is very unstable. She is ashamed, angry, aggrieved, and longing. The shame is that she wants to marry the person in front of her, and girls are naturally shy. The anger is that she does not want to get married, and she was forced to be here. This matter
It doesn't completely match her feelings, so how can I not feel aggrieved? Princess Anqing feels that He Xi is actually a pretty good person. She can't help but have a longing for the future.
It's just that He Xi started by talking about an irrelevant person. No, it's not completely irrelevant. After all, Fu Zhong had thought of many ways to propose marriage to the palace before.
Therefore, Princess Anqing felt uncomfortable when He Xi said this. What did He Xi imply? Did she imply that she and Fu Zhong had something to do with each other? This made An Qing very angry, and naturally her words were thorny.
He Xi said: "No. If I can get married to the princess, how can I be a benevolent and righteous gentleman? As long as I can be with the princess, I will be a treacherous villain from today on."
Princess Anqing's face turned red after hearing this. She immediately said "poof" and said, "I don't want any evil villain. It's as if I want you to learn bad things."
Princess Anqing's brows were filled with shame and annoyance. She glanced at He Xi and did not dare to look at He Xi. The girl's smart expression instantly gave her a dreamlike feeling. If we talk about He Xi, she had previously treated An Qing
The princess didn't feel anything. Now her heart suddenly moved.
Moreover, He Xi was attracted to Anqing. Although she was attracted by the lust, she was also attracted by the classical beauty of Princess Anqing.
Classical Chinese beauties and modern women are fundamentally two different species. Even though Princess Anqing is as noble as a princess, she still has a kind of gentleness in her character. This is what He Xi wants most.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, He Xi said: "Your Highness, I originally admired the princess, but I just felt that she was unattainable. Today I am lucky enough to have your majesty be kind enough to give me this opportunity. Of course I am absolutely willing, but I just want to ask the princess now."
What does the princess think of He Xi? If possible, I will propose marriage to Your Majesty. If the princess feels bad, then I will fight to the death to give the princess her freedom."
Princess Anqing was slightly startled, staring at He Xi in surprise with a pair of shining eyes, and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
He Xi said: "Of course it is true."
Princess Anqing said: "Don't you know who my father is? If you shirk it, your life will probably be in danger."
He Xi said: "I know."
Princess Anqing said: "Then you still say this?"
He Xi said: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I don't want to be manipulated by others about my marriage, and I certainly don't want the princess to be manipulated by others. If the princess is willing, that would be great. If the princess is not willing, I am not willing either."
As an accomplice in persecuting the princess."
What Xi said was sincere.
However, He Xi was confident. Although pushing the marriage would cause him a lot of trouble, Zhu Yuanzhang was determined not to execute him.
Of course he likes Princess Neng Shang, and Princess Anqing is not bad herself. This marriage has brought him a lot of help. But no matter how great the help is, he is not willing to face a hater for the rest of his life and hate each other.
After hearing what He Xi said, Princess Anqing felt in a trance. Many people wanted Princess Shang, including Fu Zhong among the generals. After all, Princess Anqing was a legitimate princess, unlike other princesses who were born by concubines. In the palace,
Very vocal.
Zhu Yuanzhang had many princesses, but the one who favored her the most was Princess Anqing. After all, she was the youngest child of Empress Ma.
Princess Shang Anqing can bring great political capital. Historically, after Princess Ouyang Lun Shang, her future was bright. And the business of smuggling tea horses that others did not dare to do, only Ouyang Lun dared to do it. Isn't it because of this?
A letter of favor?
It's just that he still doesn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang. In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, the world is far more important than a son-in-law, even if a royal woman is not allowed to remarry.
Princess Anqing had seen many people go to great lengths to pursue him. No one had ever given her the choice and asked her if she was willing?
At this moment, Princess Anqing knew in her heart that the choice in front of her might be her best choice. She turned her head and said, "Mother, let us go for a walk. Let's go for a walk."
He Xi was overjoyed. He understood that in a girl's house, you can't directly say "I am willing." Changing the topic is a kind of acquiescence. In an instant, He Xi said: "Princess, please come this way."
He Xi secretly thought: "Zhu Yuanzhang, seeing that your daughter is so beautiful and gentle, I will serve you honestly. It's not that I'm afraid of you, it's just that your daughter is so good."
With this thought, He Xi wonders if he can become a close friend with Ah Q. This chapter has been completed!
