MTL - He is From Great Sea of Stars-Chapter 123 On the knowledge of looking for a princess
It was not until the sun set and the west mountain that the emperor brought a group of princes and servants to return to the account.
Huo Xingchao had bumped into a wild bear, and he actually heard the news in the afternoon.
However, he was chasing a rare white deer at the time, and he didn't want to give up halfway. In addition, the subordinates reported that An Xiaowang was fine, and the wild bear was also hunted. He was discussing with the queen mother how to eat the stewed wild bear.
-The emperor then continued to hunt with peace of mind.
There is a banquet tonight, which was ordered a long time ago.
So when the group returned to the big tent, the banquet had already been prepared, and it was set up in the open air. Wine and cold dishes were placed on the small tables, and the hot dishes could be served as long as the emperor gave an order.
A palace was also built near the Xishan Hunting Ground.
It's just that the emperor thought that the palace was far away from the West Mountain, and that going up and down the mountain would be a little more troublesome, so he ordered his subordinates to set up tents in the mountain, because they only stayed for a few days, and the young masters and young ladies of noble families did not feel that they were simple at all, but they were very novel. .
At this moment, the banquet tables and chairs are also placed in the spacious space outside the tent.
Heaven, earth, mountains and forests are the scenery, and birdsong is the joy. It is really eye-catching, and it is quite wild.
The emperor came up immediately, waved his hand, and said with a big laugh,
"Hurry up and set up a banquet. Let's count the number of people later, how many things you hunted, the first name will be rewarded!"
Everyone followed to join in the fun. The Queen Mother was supported by Huo Xingchao and came out of the tent. Looking at it from a distance, it was a lively scene, and she couldn't help but smile a little.
"The emperor is so happy today, did he hunt for something good?"
The others immediately saw Huo Xingchao behind her.
All of a sudden, his demeanor was different, and he had everything in his heart.
Although Prince An's temperament is a little bit bad, his appearance is really not bad. Even the seventh prince with the name of Pan An, standing together at this moment, seems to be at a disadvantage, a little less tolerant.
- This is the ladies from various families who secretly glanced at Huo Xingchao.
Ah, how could I forget this man! Although the emperor is looking at who has more prey, it is not just about the quantity, but also the quality. With a **** bear standing here, who can beat him.
—These are the young sons of aristocratic families who think they have gained a lot and may be able to win the top prize.
It is a good omen to hunt a **** bear. Look at the intimacy of the empress dowager and father to him, tsk - still have to win.
—This is what the princes thought.
...oh, that's him.
- This is Lin Wan.
…
Lin Wan also shot and hunted on horseback today, but she was only with those ladies and daughters, and did not go anywhere else.
On the contrary, it was Qu Shuning's group of little sisters, who thought that there were little rabbits and foxes on the edge of the woods. The prince and a few young ladies met a **** bear. The bear went crazy and attacked. The young ladies were frightened and returned to the big tent ahead of time.
Lin Wan could think of it with her toes, it was definitely Cousin Qu and the others.
Sure enough, when she returned to the tent, as soon as she opened the curtain of her tent, she saw Qu Shuning who was being trained by her aunt.
"...What's the matter with you! There are so many ladies, why is there nothing wrong with Lin Wan and the others, but you are so unlucky to meet the blind bear? When you were in the capital, you didn't have a girl's family. It looks like you've been running out all day, and now you're in Xishan, you still don't know how to restrain yourself! If you didn't happen to meet Prince An, I think you don't even want your life!"
......
My aunt mentioned Prince An, which made Lin Wan slightly startled.
A few days ago, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned Cousin Qu. She didn't know what to talk about. When she came back, her eyes were still full of panic and confusion.
Seeing her, tears came out at once, sobbing and saying,
"Cousin, I'm sorry for you!"
Lin Wan looked at the back of her hurriedly running away, and stood there in amazement, not knowing where she was implicated again.
As a result, the next day, my aunt came to find her.
His eyes were red with tears, and his voice was full of guilt. she says,
"Awan, it's your aunt who is sorry for you. You are a good boy. It's all your aunt's fault. It's Shu Ning's ignorance..."
Lin Wan's heart was already half cold.
She didn't know what was going on, but she would have had a lower score by relying on others. The aunt apologized to her like this, which showed that the situation was far more serious than she thought.
She smiled, held her aunt's hand, and said softly, "Auntie, don't cry for now. If you have anything to say, please say something."
"Awan..."
-really.
The situation was far more outrageous than she imagined.
In order to refuse the marriage, Qu Shuning was "a last resort" and "in a hurry", and said Wang Li as her fiance in front of the Queen Mother.
Lin Wan's heart was completely cold.
The marriage with Wang Li was planned by her with every possible means.
Wang Li is the second son of the Minister of Military Affairs, and he has an older brother who is married. When she gets married, she doesn't need to be a clan wife, and secondly, his sister-in-law is his handkerchief, so you don't have to worry about the relationship between the concubines. Dirty.
Mrs. Shilang has a mild temper, never sparring with her daughter-in-law, and on weekdays she is partial to her younger son. Although Wang Li has a weaker temper, it is already the best choice for her.
So she was careful step by step and planned for herself, not only to please her aunt and the ancestors of the Qu family, but also to make a good enough impression in front of Mrs. Shi Lang, and to make the handkerchief to her best friend feel that there will be no better than herself. 's sister-in-law.
-Fortunately, this marriage finally came to fruition.
-Unfortunately, with a single word, her careful planning and thinking for so long were directly crushed into powder, and a gust of wind came, and it was completely blown away.
What's even more difficult to explain is that Lin Wan found that even if others did this, she still had to swallow the bitter water obediently.
Otherwise what can she do?
Are you going to seek grievance in front of the Queen Mother, or will you completely tear up your face with the Qu family?
No matter which way you do it, in the end, you are the one who suffers.
So Lin Wan brought out a soft smile and patted her aunt's hand with a sigh in her tone.
"It's okay, aunt, I can understand. After all, in such a situation, sister Shu Ning can only say so. It's just that this matter has passed the bright road in front of the queen mother, and sister Shu Ning must marry into the Wang family. As for My marriage..."
She paused, then leaned on Mrs. Qu's shoulder trustingly,
"I believe my aunt will be able to choose another good son-in-law for me. I'm not worried."
......
impossible.
No matter how nice and grateful my aunt was to her, she would never marry her better than her own daughter.
Lin Wan smiled bitterly behind her.
So, no matter how careful you are and how much you think, what's the use.
It's not just a word from people that cancels it out.
......
- Unexpectedly, before Lin Wan thought about it for a few days, the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone over.
This time, it was not Qu Shuning who announced, but herself.
At first, Lin Wan thought that the Queen Mother had discovered Qu Shuning's lie, so she called her over to ask her the truth, but after arriving at the Queen Mother's tent, before they even exchanged a few words, the Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject, saying that King An has not yet spoken. Married, looking lonely.
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment.
Then she asked again, Aijia wants to point you to King An as his concubine, are you willing?
…
Side concubine, that is, concubine.
But Prince An's mansion was clean, and there was not a single concubine. As long as the eldest son is born before Concubine Zheng enters the palace, it may not be undisputed in the future.
The most important thing is that she is not qualified to refuse.
The queen mother asked if she would like to, but in fact, it was a more euphemistic announcement that she was not Qu Shuning, and she could not refuse at all.
So the girl docilely and respectfully agreed.
The road is made by oneself.
She has grown up so much, from the beginning she was looked down upon by the servants in Qu Mansion, and now she is a little bit thin in front of the ancestors, so she can't understand this more.
Just give her an entrance and she can walk better than anyone else.
......
At this moment, Lin Wan had a lot of thoughts, but in the end, she was instantly calm.
Her gaze fell on the opposite side.
The little girl was still sitting in front of the desk, holding a gray rabbit in her hand, listening to her mother's nagging, and she was very sad.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore, and a sentence came out,
"Mother, don't talk about me, I rescued Prince An once, didn't the queen mother also give me a bear skin."
"Oh, if you really saved Prince An's life, the queen mother will only give you a bear skin?"
My aunt hated that iron could not become steel, and poked her in the head,
"How could I have given birth to a daughter as stupid as a pig! Even your cousin can't compare at all."
Qu Shuning also got angry and snorted coldly,
"I can't compare to her. She is the concubine of the lord. Who can compare to her? Then you should go and curry favor with her! What do you want my daughter to do!"
...Huh, what happened.
When she saw Wang Li inadvertently in the morning, Qu Shuning looked at her with guilt, and even whispered that if she really didn't want to marry into the palace, she was willing to help her find a way.
It seems that Prince An's Mansion is a place of floods and beasts.
As a result, at noon, it became this attitude, and there was still a bit of unwillingness and grievance between the words.
She could hear that the grievance was not for her aunt, but for the "concubine side".
Lin Wan raised her eyebrows. She didn't get involved in their mother-daughter lawsuit. She closed the curtain and turned to leave.
Several young ladies were happily roasting meat not far away, and when they saw her, they quickly waved her over to roast together.
In the afternoon, a group of people continued to play in the forest for a while, and just happened to meet the emperor's driver on the way back, and even came back with a piece.
- So, I also met the Queen Mother and King An together.
Ah King...
The girl's eyes fell softly on the boy.
It is neither as fiery as other young ladies, nor does it have the exploration of those noble family sons, it is clear and clean, as if it is just pure curiosity and concern, and the scale is very well grasped.
Huo Chaochao reminded Huo Xingxing in his heart, "Miss Lin is watching you."
Huo Xingxing didn't react: "Miss Lin?"
"It's the lady that the queen mother pointed to as your side concubine."
Huo Xingxing didn't know why: "Oh. What's wrong?"
Huo Chaochao hated that iron could not become steel, and sighed,
"Your fiancée sees you, even if it is out of courtesy, you should respond to some extent. This is not a strict former dynasty. How can you live in an old-fashioned way?
Huo Xingxing, who was scolded for nothing: ...
He raised his head and looked in the direction Huo Chao said, and sure enough, he slammed into a pair of cut water eyes.
So Huo Xingchao pursed his lips and gave her a smile, his heroic brows were full of youthful determination and unrestrainedness.
This laugh looks very friendly.
She was so friendly that Lin Wan herself was stunned, and after a long time, she nodded and returned a salute.
Huo Chaochao sighed in his heart,
"Look at it, see for yourself, other girls don't want to laugh at you. You are really... ah, I'm lazy."
"..."
You don't say it.
Don't say anything if you have the ability.
Do not sleep during the day, so much talk!
