National Beauty

Chapter 37 037

Zhao Heng picked up the portrait of the beautiful **** the table, and his gaze naturally fell on the top one. The woman in the painting has crescent brows with beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips are slightly raised, making her look very dignified and graceful. He saw his chin from his forehead, then took a look at it as a whole, and then under the inquiring gaze of Emperor Xuande, he changed this one to the bottom and continued to look at the second one.

So Emperor Xuande looked at his three sons like this, turning them one by one to the end. His eyes stayed on each portrait for about the same time. His white and clear face did not show any amazing emotions from beginning to end. In other words, none of the sons took a fancy to one of ten beauties out of a hundred.

Emperor Xuande thought his son would continue to pick, but he saw the young man put the portrait back on the table with both hands and shook his head at him.

Emperor Xuande’s face sank. In fact, he could choose a marriage to his son at his own discretion, but he wanted to give him a woman his son liked. This was a honour, but the third child didn’t know what was good or bad and didn’t cherish this decentness. Emperor Xuande was very dissatisfied, but, since he assumed a fatherly attitude, and since he first hinted that this matter could be discussed, he couldn’t get angry because of his son’s refusal.

“These ten are the best-groomed among the show girls, will you take a look?” Emperor Xuande gave a loving smile.

Zhao Heng looked down and said bluntly: “I don’t like it.”

Simple and straightforward, without euphemism.

Emperor Xuande choked in his throat. His son didn’t know how to promote him. He didn’t want to pretend to be a loving father anymore. He said coldly: “You don’t like the queen and noble concubines, so what do you like?”

Zhao Heng calmly said: “I don’t know.”

Emperor Xuande understood that his son was stuttering and not talkative, but usually his courtiers and concubines were vying to please him first. Now the son said in two words, arrogant and rude, Emperor Xuande’s anger was even higher, staring at his indifferent son for a moment. , Suddenly stood up, and walked out with a sullen face, and said angrily: “Then wait for you to know, and I will give you a marriage.”

This is somewhat impulsive. Emperor Xuande slowed down after he bypassed his son. He thought that as long as his son admitted his mistake and begged him, he would not care about it. After all, it was a major life event. He took care of it this time, and his son will have a princess in the future. Take care, he doesn’t need to be distracted by his father. But Emperor Xuande never expected…

“Thank you Father, it’s perfect.”

Yu Guangzhong, the young man in a azure brocade, bowed his head and bowed his thanks.

Niezi persisted in not understanding, Emperor Xuande’s face was pale, and he left without looking back.

At the beginning of September, Emperor Xuande’s decree to give marriage came down. In April, it was announced that the world would choose concubines for the three kings, but now only the kings of Chu and King Rui are given concubines, and there is no mention of the king of life in the first half of the edict. Baiguan was in an uproar, knowing that the emperor would not wait to see the third prince Shou Wang, no one dared to question, the Chu King was impulsive and irritable, barely enduring the next dynasty, and immediately chased to the Chongzheng Hall and asked: “Father, why did you forget the third ?”

Emperor Xuande was unfamiliar with the third son, and would not be easily reprimanded if he was not spoiled, but he also lost a layer of scruples for his favorite eldest son, King Chu, and immediately vented all the anger he had received from the third son on the eldest son. Angrily reprimanded: “Who said I forgot him? I first sent you to find out what he liked, and then summoned him over and asked him to pick a beautiful person. He didn’t know the person I had chosen for him! ”

King Chu rounded his eyes in disbelief.

“Get out!” Emperor Xuande grabbed a memorial and threw it out.

King Chu wronged his father and left Chongzheng Hall to find his younger brother. He rushed into Jingping Palace and saw that his brother ordered someone to move the table case to the courtyard. He was painting against a plum tree. It was so leisurely. Seeing his elder brother, Zhao Heng put down his paintbrush and handed over to his elder brother Yaoyao: “Congratulations, brother, you got what you wanted.”

Worthy of being a good brother, Shou Wangye, who only said two words to Emperor Xuande, said eight words in a breath.

King Chu didn’t feel honored at all, staring at his younger brother and said, “You don’t want to get married?”

Zhao Heng said calmly: “I haven’t met a beautiful woman.”

Chu Wangran was speechless, and he probably didn’t understand these words before meeting Feng Zheng, but now, he seemed to understand his younger brother’s feelings. The princess and the princess, a woman who stays with her for life, if she doesn’t meet someone she likes, she would rather be indiscriminate, and she can’t just find one casually, even if it’s to please the emperor.

After a long silence, King Chu sighed, patted his brother on the shoulder, and solemnly said: “When did you meet, tell your elder brother, elder brother will be the master for you.”

Zhao Heng nodded.

The Palace of the State of Wei, coincided with a ten-year holiday, Song Jianing slept comfortably, and then went to the front yard to see his mother.

The Lin family will give birth in another month, with a bulging belly, because the appetite after pregnancy has become larger, and the person is a little plump than when he first married into the house last year. His eyes are like autumn water, his cheeks are rosy, and the weak smell I see is missing. , With more charming and enchanting bright and beautiful, Guo Boyan was so fascinated that he rushed home, and the entertainment that could be pushed away would never go away, and he wished to be by his wife’s side all the time.

When Song Jianing came over, Guo Boyan was squatting in front of Lin’s, listening to Lin’s belly with his ears to the children inside. The maids from outside greeted the four girls, and he reluctantly moved to the chair opposite Lin’s and sat down. Lin looked at him and felt an unprecedented level of stability in his heart. According to Guo Boyan’s expectation of this child, as long as she and the children did not make serious mistakes, they would really be able to live in peace in the future.

“Mother, did you sleep well last night?” Song Jianing stepped into the hall, greeted her stepfather first, and then smiled and cared about her mother.

Lin nodded, his eyes gentle.

Song Jianing approached her mother, touched her mother’s belly, talked to her younger siblings who were about to be born, and went to Changxinyuan by herself. On holidays, the three rooms of the Guogong Mansion would gather together. After the mother became heavy, the wife told her not to go first, and the stepfather stayed in Linyun Hall to accompany her for dinner.

The autumn is high and refreshing. Thinking back to her stepfather’s consideration for her mother, Song Jianing is very pleased for her mother. Although she is a little sorry for her biological father who died early, Song Jianing likes her present mother more than her previous depressed mother, like a flower that blooms perfectly. Moisturize and happiness.

“An An!”

Someone called her in the distance. Song Jianing turned his head and saw three young men from Zhilan Yushu. Guo Fu and Guo Shu, wearing brocade robes of the same color, walked towards her quickly, and Guo Xiao continued to walk unhurriedly behind him, looking blankly. She glanced. Song Jianing quickly looked away and smiled at the twins: “Second elder brother and third elder brother.”

Guo Fu and Guo Shuyi surrounded her from left to right. The three brothers and sisters walked and talked, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at Changxinyuan. After the big family had breakfast, the elders gathered together. Song Jianing and three sisters were going for a walk in the garden. The twins did not go out today and had to rely on them, so Guo Xiao somehow followed.

The autumn light was warm and warm, and a few brothers and sisters sat by the lake, admiring the scenery and feeding the fish.

“By the way, the princesses of King Chu and King Rui have been set, do you know?” Guo Fu sat on a rock and asked triumphantly.

Song Jianing and Sanfang didn’t know. Four pairs of eyes looked at him curiously. Girls don’t go out easily and like to hear new things the most.

Guo Shu rushed and said, “Princess Chu is a girl from Master Feng’s family in the Imperial Hospital…”

Before he finished speaking, the four girls took a breath at the same time. Yun Fang was most shocked: “Sister Feng is going to be a princess!”

Song Jianing likes Feng Zheng, who also likes to eat shepherd’s purse. Hearing this news, I really don’t know whether to be happy or worried for Feng Zheng. The princess was naturally noble, but Feng Zheng’s expression on that day didn’t seem to like the king of Chu.

The four sisters whispered a bit, and the freshness was gone, urging the elder brother to continue. Guo Fu said: “Princess Rui is a girl from Li’s house in Yangzhou’s magistrate. It is said that she has the most beautiful appearance among the beautiful women…Of course, no beauty can compare to the four of you.”

Ting Fang and Lan Fang lowered their heads and laughed. Song Jianing also smiled restrainedly, only Yun Fang took it for granted, and asked excitedly: “Where is Princess Shou? We are next to the Palace of Shou Wang, and we might deal with each other often in the future.”

Song Jianing looked at her cousin with a pair of watery apricot eyes. She was really curious. In her previous life, when she accidentally heard that the King of Shou “conspired to murder the elder brother to win the throne,” she also learned from the people that the new emperor did not marry. Wife, now all have chosen concubines, is it that Shouwang’s two lifetimes are different?

She waited intently for the answer, Guo Xiao squinted at her secretly, and her thin lips pressed.

Guo Fu sighed: “Our poor Shou King, there is no princess.”

Song Jianing opened his mouth in surprise, how could this be?

Sanfang was also shocked one by one, and they asked one after another. Guo Fu gloated and said, “You ask me who I ask? Uncle may not know. There is no mention of the prince of life in the imperial decree. Anyway, the king of Chu and the king of Rui will be married next year. We are pitiful. The longevity prince wants to move here alone.”

In his mind, the graceful appearance of Zhao Heng, the king of longevity, appeared in his mind, and Song Jianing lowered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. Having said that the three kings choose concubines, why did Emperor Xuande only give marriages to the two favored princes? Shou Wang has no princess, is Emperor Xuande too partial, or are the Xiu women unwilling to marry him?

Song Jianing racked his brains but couldn’t understand.

She can’t see through, and Guo Xiao can’t see through. He only knows that the seat of the King Shou Wang is vacant, so his sisters who are closest to the King Shou may be in danger, especially…

Looking around Song Jianing’s face, she saw the son-in-law who had liked her step-sister for half a year, and suddenly realized that her step-sister seemed not as cute as in the first half of the year.

There was no princess in the king of life. This was a real rumors in the streets and alleys of the capital. Even the four or five-year-old children playing on the street knew that the emperor didn’t like his stammering three sons. After playing around, which child was taught by his father. The friends laughed at him: “If you don’t be obedient, I won’t marry you when I grow up…”

This word somehow reached the ears of King Chu, and he personally took people to tour the streets for a day. All those who were disrespectful to the King Shou were taken into custody and kept in the cell for a few days before being released. Under the prestige, this stopped the gossip in the streets and alleys.

Song Jianing didn’t know anything about the outside. Seeing her mother’s birth day was getting closer and closer, Song Jianing became more and more nervous. Several times in the middle of the night, she woke up from a nightmare, dreaming that her mother could hardly give birth. She did not dare to tell her mother that she was secretly worried, and spent half a month in anxious manner. On the eighth day of October, Song Jianing and her sisters were going to be a red girl, and the two children ran over in a panic: “Girl , Girl, madam is going to give birth!”
