As soon as I woke up the next day, Ruan Qing ran to me in a sullen manner and reported that Mrs. Beijinghou was here. I quickly kicked him out and called Chun Zhu and Qiu Ju to help me dress and comb my hair.
Walking slowly to the front hall.
Mrs. Bei Jinghou was sitting on the main seat in the flower hall, holding a tea bowl in her hand and taking a sip. She saw me coming in from the corner of her eye, and put the tea bowl on the table with a bang, and coldly snorted: "It's all done.
It's three o'clock in the morning, why did the princess get up, and how did she behave?"
I was stunned when I heard this. This tone was like a mother-in-law lecturing her daughter-in-law. Although I was very likely to become her daughter-in-law, I still couldn't accept such a tone. I leaned back in a chair next to me and smiled indifferently.
He said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do. I just sleep until I wake up naturally. It's not like this every day. Occasionally I get up early to practice."
Her face suddenly turned ugly, and she curled her lips and said disdainfully: "What does it look like in my daughter's house to dance with knives and sticks? If you have those skills, why don't you learn from Nvhong's cooking skills, so that you can serve your husband and your parents-in-law in the future."
"Hahaha..." I raised my head and laughed, tears of laughter came out. Chunzhu quickly handed over the silk handkerchief. I took it and wiped the corners of my eyes. I looked at Mrs. Beijing Houfu and asked, "What if I follow
The rest of us are like ladies, never leaving the door or stepping outside, and sitting in the embroidery building every day tracing red and embroidering. So last time my wife and young lady were in danger, I could only order the coachman to turn around and take a detour to protect myself. How could my wife and young lady survive completely?
Retreat? Don't even mention going to Xiaohuang Mountain to rescue the prince. Besides, my dignified Princess Jinyue's mansion has no less than a hundred servants and maids. There is an embroiderer for women, and a cook for cooking. What does it have to do with whether I learn or not?
It’s not like we have nothing to eat or clothes to wear.”
I finally spoke out what was in my heart. In the past, when I watched costume dramas or classical novels, ladies were always asked to learn these things. I especially didn’t understand them. They were things that would never be used after getting married. Mrs. Bei Jinghou pointed at me with a trembling hand,
He was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words: "You... you are an unteachable child... a barbarian girl, you are not worthy of being my wife in Beijing Houfu..."
Murong Qingfeng told me last night that he would go to the palace early this morning to beg the emperor. He must have informed his parents before entering the palace, so Mrs. Bei Jinghou came over to demonstrate. Qiu Ju brought breakfast and prepared one for Bei Jing.
Waiting for Madam, she glanced at me and ignored me. I picked up the hot milk and took a sip. I let out a long sigh and ate a few fried dumplings. Then I smiled and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. I have been given a gift by the Emperor."
If you marry General Shen, even if you have a headache, it will be a headache for Mrs. Shen, and it has nothing to do with you. But I often hear people say that Mrs. Shen is the most open-minded. Girls from the Shen family often disguise themselves as men to participate in various poetry gatherings, and win many awards.
The title of 'talented girl' probably won't embarrass me."
She slapped the table hard and said angrily: "What do you mean? My Qing'er is deeply in love with you. He didn't sleep last night. When he got up this morning, he took his father to the palace to beg the emperor, but you are obsessed with asking for it.
As the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, is she worthy of Qing'er?"
"I'm afraid you are mistaken, madam?" I almost choked to death on the thing in my mouth. I coughed for a long time before I finally managed to catch my breath. I said in a funny voice, "Isn't the Crown Prince deeply in love with Shen Wanyao?"
"That's nonsense. Qing'er only takes care of Wan Yao as her younger sister. Don't ruin Wan Yao's reputation. If they were interested in having a lover, our two families would have settled on their marriage a few years ago. How could we wait for you to come back from the border?
." Mrs. Bei Jinghou eagerly defended herself. I put down my chopsticks and told Qiu Ju: "You can't eat any more, so take it away."
.
After a few words, neither of them spoke for a while. Mrs. Beijinghou also refused to leave. She must be waiting for news here. I didn't rush her, so I took a cup of tea and drank it slowly. After a while, Murong Qingfeng rushed in, followed by two guards who did not dare to rush to stop him, and followed behind him with a look of embarrassment.
"Princess..." As soon as he spoke, his eyes caught sight of Mrs. Bei Jinghou sitting on the main seat, and she said with surprise on her face: "Mother, why are you here?"
"Why, you are allowed to come but mother and I are not allowed to come?" Mrs. Bei Jinghou said in a strange tone. Murong Qingfeng turned to look at me. I shrugged at him and smiled, and he hurriedly said: "I don't dare, mother will come of course."
From the look on his face, I knew that the emperor did not agree, so I did not ask. However, Mrs. Beijinghou next to me was much more anxious than me: "Qing'er, does the emperor agree?"
Murong Qingfeng shook his head and said with a lonely expression: "The emperor said that if I had mentioned it to him earlier, he would have agreed no matter what. But my cousin spoke first, and the imperial edict has been sent to Shen's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion, and to everyone in the world. Everyone knows it, and it can’t be taken back.”
The answer was expected. I lowered my head and pretended to be sad. My mind went back and forth a thousand times. I spent most of the night last night discussing countermeasures with Ruan Qingchen and the others. Now that the matter is over, if I still want to be with him. , or ignore the safety of the two families, elope directly, and live a life of wandering from then on. I naturally will not agree to this. It is okay for me to suffer some hardships, but future generations will have to live such a sneaky life. You are not allowed to be an official, let alone show your face, which is really a pity for them. In addition, there is another way to defeat the enemy, which is to cook the rice before it is raw. It is best to make a child and then go to the emperor. If we demonstrate in front of him, he will either hack us to death or change the imperial edict. Because the two family backgrounds are here, the possibility of hacking us to death is 0, so there is definitely no problem. But if I take this step, my reputation will be completely ruined. Shen Nanfeng would also be cuckolded and laughed at by the world. As for Murong Qingfeng, in this male-dominated society, the most people would say is that he was young and romantic, but the Shen family and the Murong family would probably break up... The price is too high, I It doesn't matter, but Murong Qingfeng probably can't bear it. Even if I succeed in the end, Mrs. Beijinghou will hate me to the core, and I will never have a stable life in the future.
Hey, everything was going well. Shen Wanyao married His Highness the Third Highness. Murong Qingfeng's attitude towards me has also softened. All that's left is time. Who would have thought that damn Shen Nanfeng would come and do this? The matter was complicated beyond words. On the surface, I pretended to be calm, but in fact, I was already extremely anxious.
Sighing, I said in a low voice: "If you take back the Holy Order, it will be a slap in the face of the Shen family in front of everyone in the world. Naturally, the emperor will not do this. If it doesn't work, just forget it and just treat me as The two are destined but not destined."
Murong Qingfeng took a step forward, held my hand, and said firmly: "It took me a lot of effort to understand my own heart, and I will never give up so easily."
