National Beauty

In Changchun Palace, in the warm spring-like warm pavilion, Concubine Shu is talking to her nine-year-old daughter, Princess Duanhui.

"Mother, why does the uncle want to marry a widow?" Princess Duanhui asked, leaning against her mother, pouting. She played around in the palace, and several times heard the little palace ladies and eunuchs talk about the marriage of her elder uncle, and they laughed at the identity of the new aunt. Princess Duanhui didn't understand at first, but later she figured out what the widow meant. She was very angry. The people in the palace talked about her uncle, and that the widow's aunt made her uncle hurt.

"Mother doesn't know either." Concubine Shu looked at her newly painted gorgeous codan and said casually.

Princess Duanhui snorted: "I don't like her, I don't want to call her aunt."

Concubine Shu raised her eyes and scolded her daughter lightly: "No nonsense, at least you must behave in front of your uncle."

She also didn't like having a widow's sister-in-law. The eldest brother was confused by beauty, but made her a laughing stock in the mouths of other concubines. Concubine Shu didn't blame the elder brother, but Lin's failure to obey women's ways to seduce men. But in the presence of her elder brother, Lin had to give it to Lin's dignity, so as not to let Lin blow the pillow wind in the ears of her elder brother, she would leave the handle here.

Although Princess Duanhui was young, the children who grew up in the palace had their heart open early. This simple truth still understood.

Not long after, the little palace lady came in and reported that it was the lady who was waiting for someone to arrive.

The mother-in-law came, and Concubine Shu happily took her daughter to greet her in the courtyard. There were many rules in the palace, but in the concubine's palaces, whether it was a blunt glance or relaxed and comfortable, it all depends on the concubines' preferences. Concubine Shu is used to being simple and relaxed, Emperor Xuande also likes her, so she has to come over several times a month, and her love never ends.

"The minister's wife visits the empress." Madam Tai led the salute.

Lin and others followed closely.

Song Jianing is a person who has been in the palace once, and she has seen a little bit of the world. Now she is accompanied by his wife and mother. She is not very nervous. According to Mother Cen's instructions, she salutes in a regular manner. No one can pick it out. Any mistakes. Concubine Shu stepped forward to help her mother, and her eyes quickly swept across Lin's mother and daughter. First she was surprised by Lin's excessive beauty. Then she was taken aback by the chubby face of her cheap niece, and she instantly recovered her calm.

"Mother, my eldest brother is really blessed. Look at my new sister-in-law, he is about to compare the new beauties in the palace." Taking the lady's arm, Concubine Shu praised Lin with a smile.

Lin's cheeks were reddish, and he lowered his head and said, "The empress is ridiculously complimented. I am lucky to get the wrong love from the grandfather of the country."

Concubine Shu smiled, and then praised Song Jianing: "Isn't Jianing? She looks so good-looking, and it's rare to look at it." After speaking, she took out a green jade bracelet from her sleeve and bent over to put it on Song Jianing: " This is a meeting ceremony for my aunt. My aunt loves children of your age the most. After my sister enters the palace, Jianing will also follow. You will accompany your aunt to relieve your boredom."

She was dressed up, her eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Mrs. Tai. She was young and bright. When Song Jianing saw her smile amiably, she obediently said, "Thanks for the reward, Auntie."

Concubine Shu squeezed her fleshy face and turned to introduce her daughter: "This is Duanhui, one year younger than you, and you will be cousins ​​in the future."

Princess Duanhui understands the truth of the imaginary and the snake, but she is young and can't be a mother. She doesn't like Lin in her heart. Now she finds that the daughter Lin brought into the Guogong Mansion is so beautiful and stronger than her princess. Princess Duanhui immediately disgusted Song Jianing, raised her chin arrogantly, and stared at Song Jianing unhappily.

The daughter of a widow of a business woman is also worthy of her sister?

With this appearance, she was in a complete match with Princess Duanhui in Song Jianing's memory. As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country and the temperament is hard to change. Realizing that Princess Duanhui has been arrogant since she was a child, Song Jianing dared to call her cousin, and respectfully called the "princess".

Princess Duanhui was a little satisfied and reluctantly replied. She turned to find Ting Fang and embraced Ting Fang's arm affectionately: "Cousin, you haven't been in the palace for a long time, and cousin." She tilted her head and rejoiced. He looked at Guo Xiao, who was wearing a white brocade robe.

Song Jianing couldn't help but secretly observe the pair of childhood sweethearts. When I met Guo Xiao in the previous life, she was eighteen, Guo Xiao was twenty-four, and it was rare for a man in his early twenties to marry a wife. However, royal princesses usually get married late. If Guo Xiao was waiting for Princess Duanhui, he would understand Up. Later, there seemed to be a lot of things in the capital. She didn't know the inside story. She only knew that Princess Duanhui's marriage was delayed. It was not until the first emperor had spent three years of filial piety that the new emperor gave the marriage.

Guo Xiao has been pampering her for seven years, which is considered a grand pet, but Guo Xiao has waited for ten years for Princess Duanhui, and has not married until his early thirties. This is a real infatuation. If it were not for good things, Guo Xiao would marry early. Princess Duanhui, how can her so-called "special pet"? The only thing Song Jianing didn't understand was that since Guo Xiao liked his childhood sweetheart so much, why bother to look for her again every night? Purely to solve physical needs?

That should be the case. Princess Duanhui delayed Guo Xiao for so long, so she was embarrassed to care about her, and only acquiesced to her existence, and found fault with her when she was about to get married.

Song Jianing really wanted to see how this infatuated man and woman got along when they were young. It must be very warm and moving.

She blinked her watery apricot eyes and took a peek. Guo Xiao noticed, and couldn't guess what Song Jianing was looking at, and nodded lightly to her cousin.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone moved to Nuan Pavilion to speak.

Concubine Shu is unfamiliar with Lin's family, and the lady has a warm atmosphere from it. Concubine Shu gives her mother face, and Lin's intention is to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law. The three laughed at Yan Yan, and on the surface they had a very happy conversation. On the children's side, Princess Duanhui firmly occupied Ting Fang. Every time Ting Fang wanted to pull Song Jianing into the conversation, Princess Duanhui interrupted arbitrarily. Ting Fang couldn't help her and gave her sister an apologetic look.

Song Jianing didn't care at all. He sat down on the chair and ate the cakes on the table gracefully. The imperial palace is different. The plum-shaped yam cake is exquisite and beautiful, and it is decorated with a slice of golden osmanthus, fragrant. The milky white yam melts in your mouth, and the jujube paste is sweet and fragrant...

After eating one piece, Song Jianing glanced at the happily chatting Princess Ting Fang and Duanhui, and went to take the second piece with confidence. The fat finger had moved to the top of the porcelain plate, and a soft cough suddenly came from the opposite side. Song Jianing was inexplicably guilty. , Hurriedly withdrew his hand, blushing and raising his head, he ran into Guo Xiao's cold and handsome face.

Song Jianing looked down and picked up the sachet from his waist to play with. The sachet is embroidered by my mother, plum blossoms are embroidered on the pink satin, and the stitches are fine and dense.

After reading the sachet, Song Jianing Yu Guang glanced at the pastry plate on the table, and was secretly swallowing his saliva. A little **** suddenly walked in and bowed his head to Concubine Shu. Knowing Shizi has entered the palace, the special person will come over, and Xuan Shizi will go to the martial arts training ground to compete together."

Guo Xiao immediately stood up and resigned to the elders.

With bright eyes, Princess Duanhui ran to Guo Xiao's side and said excitedly: "I will go with my cousin!"

Guo Xiao couldn't control her, and looked at the aunt on the main seat.

"Mother..." Princess Duanhui took the jade pendant around Guo Xiao's waist and acted like a baby to her mother skillfully.

Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously, and smiled: "Go, take Jianing with you. Ting Fang is big, come to my aunt's place." The niece will be ready next year, and the princes will gradually reach the age of marriage, Shu The concubine did not want the emperor to misunderstand that she meant to help her relatives and nieces. Guogong Mansion was trusted by the emperor, and it was impossible to make friends with the emperor to arouse suspicion.

Ting Fang obediently responded.

Song Jianing looked at her mother awkwardly and panicked when she wanted to see the emperor.

The daughter was embarrassed, and Lin did not dare to let her daughter go to the royal group of men, stood up and explained: "Manny, Jianing is young and doesn't understand the rules, I'm afraid she will run into a few highness..."

Concubine Shu said: "My sister-in-law is too worried. My Royal Highness likes to have someone cheer for them the most. Today many little cousins ​​cheer them up and they will only be happy." Yan said he waved his hand to Guo Xiao: "Go ahead, don't call the emperor. ."

Guo Xiao said goodbye and Princess Duanhui happily stood by him. Song Jianing finally looked at his mother and followed her with fate.

Leaving the Changchun Palace, there is no need to be afraid of the elders. Princess Duanhui looked at Song Jianing, who was a few steps behind, and complained to Guo Xiao: "Cousin, uncle is confused by that woman, why don't you persuade me?" The voice is not high or not. Low, deliberately to let Song Jianing hear.

Song Jianing lowered her head, her mouth tightly pursed. She didn't mind what Princess Duanhui said, but she couldn't bear the humiliation of her mother.

"For adults, you don't want to mix things up." Guo Xiao strode hurriedly, his expression cold.

Princess Duanhui curled her lips, and Guo Xiao took a few steps away from her short dissatisfaction. She ran to catch up with Guo Xiaoyu, and begged softly, "Cousin, please go slowly, I I can't keep up..."

Guo Xiao turned sideways and saw the little face of his cousin who was lamenting and turning to joy, and he also saw the stepsister who was twenty or thirty steps behind. The fat girl in a pink skirt slumped her head as if someone was bullying her, her red lips were pouting high, and she walked slowly. She almost regarded the palace as the small courtyard of her Jiangnan Song family, and she could go as fast as she wanted.

"Jianing." Guo Xiao said displeased.

Song Jianing raised her head, her mouth still pouting.

Guo Xiao's face was gloomy: "Keep up."

Song Jianing was afraid of him, "Oh" and ran over. When he ran, his little fleshy face also trembled slightly. Princess Duanhui came into contact with such a fat girl for the first time, she burst out laughing, and continued to whisper to Guo Xiao loudly: "Cousin, look, does she look like a pig?"

Song Jianing blushed and was angry, but she pretended not to hear.

Guo Xiao glanced at his stepsister's red ears, and asked Princess Duanhui in a cold voice: "Dignified princess, what kind of village woman to learn?" The voice was not low.

Princess Duanhui never expected her cousin to train her, but what she just said was really a bit crude, unable to refute her cousin, so she gave Song Jianing a fierce look. Blame this widow woman surnamed Song, otherwise how could she be trained by her cousin?

After the stare, Princess Duanhui continued to chase Guo Xiao. Song Jianing walked and ran for a while and followed, thinking of Guo Xiao's "village woman", the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh. Guo Xiao looks like Pan An, both civil and military, and a noble son of the official government. If he knows that the two women he looked after in his previous life are the "village women" and "fat pigs" who are now following him, will Guo Xiao be angry? lung?

If it wasn't for his own life, Song Jianing really wanted to give it a try.

Thinking wildly, hurrying slowly, two quarters later, Song Jianing, panting, finally saw the royal martial arts ground, and also saw the royal father and son in the center of the martial arts ground. The fat man wearing a vermilion dragon robe is naturally Emperor Xuande. As for the four princes of different heights next to Emperor Xuande...

Song Jianing had only seen Zhao Heng, the third prince, and the moment he recognized the other party, Song Jianing seemed to see a golden light on top of his head.
