Chapter 84
Now that the marriage has been finalized, the two families got together, chose a good date, and decided to get married at the end of Ji Chun. The Yan family was kind-hearted and wanted to record the girl in the name of her aunt and marry her to the third son of the Hou family as the eldest daughter.
Young Master.
Feng didn't get what he asked for, but then he thought about it, how long would it take?
Afraid that everything would be troublesome and something unexpected would happen, she discussed with the old lady of the Yan family to get married first and discuss the status of the concubine later.
After all, in the Hou Mansion, isn't the eldest princess of the Feng family also the concubine?
Her many children, except Erlang, are all concubines. It doesn't matter, the Hou family does not take the distinction between concubines and concubines too seriously.
The Yan family's behavior is the same as that of Mrs. Yan. Since Feng thinks it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter. It's a bit hasty to listen to the in-laws. Fortunately, the girl's wedding items are prepared from an early age, so it's not difficult.
All that's left is to go through the process.
The two parties were amicable, and after a lot of running around, the marriage was finalized and held as scheduled. Dingyuan Marquis Mansion welcomed another marriage.
Although the bride is a concubine, her wedding standards are the same as those of a legitimate daughter, and even higher than those of some high-ranking ladies. This marriage was personally arranged by His Majesty. In addition to the Queen's make-up, His Majesty himself also gave many rewards, which is enviable.
As before, the Hou Mansion still did not send wedding invitations, but there were still many people who came to congratulate.
Because the prince is here in person this time and represents the entire royal family to express his congratulations.
How dare the courtiers not come? Fortunately, everyone heard that His Majesty was acting as a matchmaker and immediately prepared another congratulatory gift. The Song Mansion also prepared one. Knowing that the Marquis Mansion did not welcome them, they only sent congratulations and a handwritten letter of apology from Mr. Song.
, did not dare to enter the house.
After reading it, Marquis Dingyuan put the book aside and accepted the gift, indicating that the matter was over.
"Princess, since the Marquis has accepted the gift, it seems inappropriate for us to make trouble again." Seeing this, Luo Yan whispered to Yuan Zhao quietly.
Yuan Zhao thought for a while and asked:
"How did you find the old woman and gangster you were looking for?"
"I heard from Dongtang that I found it, but unfortunately I was spotted by Aunt Coral next to Madam..."
He went to find those people the next day, but they had already denied their account. There was no need to examine it, and it was probably Aunt Coral who was the one who got in the way, causing him to fail. Madam was at odds with the princess, and she usually did not fight or scold her, but only ruined her plan.
So that she can recognize the reality. She can't do anything that her parents don't support.
Yuan Zhao curled his lips in displeasure, but facts speak louder than words.
"Jinshui said that if the princess is not in a hurry, he will wander outside after a while and hire a beggar to help us find the person." Luo Yan reported.
After a period of time, the lady thought that the little princess had given up and no longer kept an eye on the servants in Huatongyuan, so that Dongtang and the others could do their best.
Hire beggars to look for people, and lead the servants in Madam's courtyard to follow them in the east hall, so naturally there is no way to destroy them.
"Let Dongtang and the others stop looking for him," Yuan Zhao sighed. After procrastinating for so long, her passionate blood had cooled down. "My father is not in good spirits. The medical officials have told him to rest... It's easy for the Song family."
"No, the princess is wise." Luo Yan felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Marquis was very angry because of what happened last time, and all the guards shared the same hatred. But now, His Majesty has come to express condolences in person, and has found another kind-hearted family for the Marquis. The Marquis is deeply relieved, and finally feels better these days.
Tonight, I kept my spirits up and sat in the high hall, waiting for the newlyweds to bow down.
It is conceivable that the coming days in the Hou Mansion will definitely be full of joy. If the princess goes out to make trouble, even if her intentions are good, if things get serious and make the Marquis angry and upset, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
Now that the princess is willing to let go, that's the best thing.
Tonight, the Marquis Mansion was full of celebrations, and all the ministers toasted to the Marquis and His Royal Highness. The Marquis responded to the ministers with water instead of wine, looking kind and smiling.
The much-anticipated Crown Prince Fengqiu, 21 this year, is not handsome in appearance, but he is tall and straight, with an air of nobility. He does not attend with his family like the third prince last time. His Crown Princess fell ill after giving birth to his eldest son.
Died.
Now he concentrates on handling government affairs and sharing the worries of his father. Children are debts, and the emperor's family is no exception. Emperor Fengyuan is also worrying about the choice of the crown prince.
He arrived at the Marquis Mansion tonight, and Yuan Zhao, along with his parents and elders, dressed up to welcome her. When he saw her, Prince Fengqiu was very surprised:
"Are you Azhao? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so big! I heard that you suffered a lot outside."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about me. My daughter has her father and brother taking care of her at the border. It's not hard." Looking directly at the Crown Prince was an offense, so Yuan Zhao lowered his eyes and said.
"Oh? We haven't seen each other for a few years, and A-Zhao doesn't even want to call me brother, the prince. It seems that we are separated." The prince teased.
"I don't dare. I was young, didn't know the etiquette, and offended His Highness without regard for superiority or inferiority. I hope Your Highness will forgive you." Yuan Zhao said solemnly.
"I forgive you, please get up." The prince bent down and helped her up.
"Thank you, Brother Prince!" Yuan Zhao jumped up and raised his face with a proud smile.
This smile immediately shortened the distance between them.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed loudly, tapped her forehead, and said:
"That's right."
Compared with the stereotyped and boring noble lady of the Hou Mansion, he preferred the innocent little girl who didn't know the heights of the world and who chased the maids and maids all day long and clamored for rewards.
Knowing that he would meet her tonight, he specially brought a gift. A whole box of gold and silver jewelry for her to play with.
Upon seeing this, the officials present looked at each other in confusion, and they all speculated on the purpose of the prince's move. Could it be that he was interested in the little legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion?
The prince knew everyone's thoughts very well, so he couldn't help but smile and said to Marquis Dingyuan:
"Seeing Ah Zhao, I am reminded of her childhood hobbies..."
It turned out that when she was a child, she loved those sparkling and dazzling jewelry the most. She often played with the beads on other people's clothes, including him and other princes and princesses, and even the wives who came to the palace to pay their respects could not escape her little clutches.
She is a little brat and doesn't understand dignity, so it's hard for everyone to treat her.
Fortunately, he was smart and asked his valet to carry colored gems with him every day, and would give her one as a gift if she got caught. Every time she got tired of playing with it, she would throw it away. The maidservant would quickly pick it up and return it to the valet next to the prince, and give it to her the next day.
This cycle saves money and worry.
"Hahaha..." It turns out that was the case, and all the officials laughed heartily.
Yuan Zhao holding the jewelry box: "..."
Was there such a thing? She didn't remember it at all and had never seen it in her dream.
In the middle of the wedding banquet, the prince left first, leaving the remaining officials to do as they pleased. Even so, as soon as he left, the officials also dispersed and left.
Now, the prince, return to the palace and report to his father what happened in the Marquis Mansion tonight.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Ah Zhao looks quite like Mr. Marquis when he was young..." There is also a touch of softness in Jiang's appearance, and he looks more and more handsome. The prince recalled the scene tonight, "My temper is not as bad as when I was a child."
.”
"Yes, the Eighteenth Change of Women," Emperor Fengyuan said, nonchalantly approving the notes, "according to her previous temperament, the Song Dynasty would have been overthrown by her. However, after all, the Hou Mansion is a thousand-year-old family with good moral character.
training……"
Coupled with Mrs. Hou's careful guidance, it is not easy to grow crooked.
"According to my observation, Ah Zhao's body is similar to that of the Eighth Emperor's brother, but unfortunately I don't know how skilled he is." To be honest, he thought Yuan Zhao's spirit was much better than that of the Eighth Emperor's brother.
Perhaps it was because Yuan Zhao had lived outside for many years that he was energetic.
Unlike the Eighth Emperor's brother, who has been raised in the palace for many years, has a delicate body, rich flesh, and abnormally fair skin. He can run and jump, and practices martial arts well, but he always looks like he will fall ill at any time.
.
Ah Zhao is a girl, and the Eighth Emperor's brother looks like a sick man. Jiang Xing? Liu Taibu may have made a miscalculation.
