Chapter 2109 The Princess Is Safe
Wanwan always felt like a little bird trapped in the palace, her wings were tightly bound and she couldn't even see outside the palace.
So she missed her childhood experience.
At that time, Fang Xing would take her out to play, and even encountered an assassination attempt.
She remembered that time.
The deserted village, the assassins appearing in the drizzle, the rows of sergeants, and the sound of volleys of muskets. Unfortunately, she was held by Fang Xing and did not see that scene...
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Wanwan was dozing off with her chin propped up on her hand, when a sound of banging outside woke her up.
The quiet time in the afternoon was broken, Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
Her eyes were dull, and it took a long time for her eyes to regain some clarity.
"Princess, the Queen Mother has summoned you."
Qingye's voice came from outside, Wanwan hummed, and then stood up slowly.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Walking in the palace, Wanwan lowered her head slightly and listened to those sighs.
The most beautiful flower in the palace is about to be picked, and it will come with many benefits.
The news spread quickly, and even the identities of the three finalists were speculated.
Looking at Wanwan who was wearing a long skirt and walking quietly in the palace, those regretful eyes were a little more complicated.
The cornices seem to be a little sharper, and the tiles are more solemn.
This is the palace!
Wanwan looked at all this blankly, her face pale.
Some people thought this was a new discovery, so they rushed to report it to the emperor.
"...The princess looked...dumbly."
I was so heartbroken that I didn't dare to say these words.
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything!
Zhu Zhanji's face was not very pretty, he was holding a memorial and was about to throw it away.
Yu Jia glared at the eunuch who came to report the news, and then took him out.
When they got outside, the man looked at Yu Jia expectantly and whispered: "Father-in-law, this slave has come all the way here!"
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his face with exaggerated movements.
This is a show of merit!
Yu Jia said calmly: "We have remembered it, let's go."
Seeing the visitor returning happily, Yu Jia smiled coldly and turned around to enter the Nuan Pavilion.
"What is Wanwan thinking about?"
Zhu Zhanji asked angrily.
Yu Jia said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I don't know this either. I only know that the princess has been depressed these days. She doesn't go out except to go to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. However, she wants pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and candles." Quite a few.”
Zhu Zhanji squinted at Yu Jia and said: "If you have something to say, just say it. Who do you want to tell it to?"
Yu Jia immediately knelt down to apologize. Zhu Zhanji felt suffocated and left the Nuan Pavilion.
The autumn wind blew gently outside, and there were no clouds in the sky.
Zhu Zhanji put his hands behind his hands and walked out. Song Lao was taking a nap under the eaves. After being disturbed, he quickly yawned and followed him.
The princesses of the Ming Dynasty really lived a miserable life. One person was not allowed to get involved in politics, so many princes-in-law suffered misfortune.
In other words, unless you are someone who has no ambition at all, this prince-in-law will not do it willingly.
On the second day after he ascended the throne, Zhu Zhanji sent a message to the outside world through Yu Jia: Royal relatives rarely get involved in politics!
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have a good impression of the emperor's relatives. Since the emperor said not to give them face, then they would really refuse to give them face.
It's okay to live an honest life. If you are restless, local officials will give you a good look.
"People's hearts are so weak!"
Zhu Zhanji sighed. Song Laoshi was dozing along the way. He was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Your Majesty, everyone should listen to you. If you don't listen, you will be punished!"
Zhu Zhanji's spirit perked up and he said, "Yes! I looked forward and backward, but I forgot that this is the royal family."
The rules of the royal family are naturally different. If you don't get married at 17 or 18, you won't be able to find a husband. The royal family won't worry about this.
Most princesses recruit sons-in-law and get married around the age of twenty, so Wanwan still has two or three years to buffer.
But the Queen Mother was worried that she would be too hasty and could not find a suitable consort, so she planned to decide on the candidate first and then the wedding date.
It also makes sense to wait a few years.
The more you love, the more you care!
Zhu Zhanji thought about the situation of the three final candidates and couldn't help but sigh: "They are all not suitable!"
He naturally wanted the best for his sister, whether it was his consort or life.
But the world is difficult, and no truly outstanding man is willing to marry the royal family.
At this time, a eunuch came in front and said, "Your Majesty, please see Uncle Xinghe."
Zhu Zhanji cheered up and said, "Let him go to his mother's place. I will go there later."
…
Fang Xing was led all the way to Ningshou Palace. He wanted to reply outside, but someone inside came out and said, "My Majesty said, Uncle Xinghe is not an outsider, come in and talk."
Fang Xing bravely entered the palace, saluted under the watchful eyes of a group of ladies and maids, and then said, "I went to investigate..."
He lowered his head and looked around, and the Queen Mother said: "Everyone, get out."
Except for Li Bin and the two nuns, everyone went out.
After the people left, the Queen Mother asked anxiously: "How are they?"
"...Lv Hui and the maids at home are a little unclean and lack responsibility."
The Queen Mother's expression was as usual. She had never expected to catch the golden turtle husband in one go. Eliminating one was just a trivial matter.
"Yu Yong from Zhending Mansion is a bit lazy, but he is not bad, but..."
Fang Xing pointed to the top of his head and said, "He's quite bald here."
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Don't even think about it!"
When the queen mother thought of Wanwan's bald husband, she felt that her organs all twitched.
There was a third one, and the queen mother felt that her luck would not be so bad, and there were problems with all three of them.
Fang Xing said: "That Chen Di..."
He was a little embarrassed, and finally under the expressionless pressure of the queen mother, he could only vaguely say: "This man has some unspeakable secrets..."
The queen mother's cheek twitched, and the blue veins on her neck collapsed.
Fang Xing also felt very embarrassed, but he could not leave without the queen mother's order.
The queen mother was probably very angry. After panting for a few times, she patted the armrest of the chair and said: "Ask the queen, no, ask the emperor, and ask him to check, check the good things those slaves did!"
The selection of the son-in-law can only be done by the eunuchs, but whether these people are dedicated, whether they have received benefits to cover up the shortcomings of others...
Fang Xing did not check this, he was only responsible for checking the last three candidates, and the queen mother would naturally worry about the rest.
"Your Highness, the princess is here."
The Queen Mother was furious, and was also startled when she heard this, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xinghe."
Fang Xing left as if he had been pardoned.
After leaving the hall, Wanwan was waiting by the side, and the two were stunned when they met.
"Hello, Lord Xinghe."
Wanwan bowed and said with a smile.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "The princess is well."
Li Bin, who sent him out, couldn't help but cough dryly. Wanwan was startled and hurriedly lowered her head and entered the hall.
Fang Xing couldn't help but turn around and frowned at Li Bin and said, "What are you coughing for?"
Li Bin said awkwardly, "Nothing, my throat is itchy."
"Then go find the imperial physician."
Fang Xing left, and Li Bin rolled his eyes, thinking, how can you greet like this?
The princess is well?
Is this something you, an outsider, can say?
