Chapter 29

In Fengyi Palace, the Queen stretched her neck and waited for half a day, and after a while she had to ask Aunt Suihe beside her.

When Princess Rong An's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, the queen had already stood up from her seat and was looking at the door eagerly.

Xiao Yu was dressed in a simple cyan dress, with a bamboo hat on her head, and walked in from the outside in a hurry.

"My son!" The queen excitedly pushed away Sui He's hand that was supporting her, and grabbed Princess Rong'an's wrist.

Princess Rong An took off the bamboo hat and handed it to the following maid, and stepped back to salute politely: "Rong An pays respects to Auntie, and Auntie is blessed with Jinan, Rong'an is not filial and has not returned until now."

How could the queen be willing to look at her like this, so she pulled her up again, and looked at her carefully: "Yu Niang is suffering outside, get up quickly, and let my aunt take a good look."

Empress Song dragged Princess Rong'an to chat for a while, and then complained that Princess Rong'an had been away from Beijing for too long, and she felt a little sad.Princess Rong'an and Aunt Suihe coaxed the queen for a long time before she calmed down.

"Okay, this time you can't leave. Your mother sent a letter to Ben Gong before, worrying about your marriage. It seems that only Ben Gong, the aunt, is more worried."

Princess Rong An is at the right age this year.Dayong does not limit the age at which women can marry. The family loves their daughters, and there are some who stay until their twenties to marry, but they are also a minority.

Xiao Yu's expression froze for a moment, and he quickly covered it up so that the queen would not find out.The reason why she didn't return to Beijing for many years was that she didn't want her elders to set up a marriage casually, or become the object of a family marriage.

In the poems, the two love each other, and the love that will accompany them for a lifetime is what Rong An yearns for the most in his heart, but she is the daughter of the Xiao family and the Song family, so she dare not open her mouth.

"Your clothes are too plain. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a lot of palace clothes for you. Go and change quickly. There is also a welcome banquet." Empress Song naturally couldn't know what Princess Rong An was thinking. Enthusiastically urged her to dress up.

Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, but turned around obediently and went to the inner room.

Princess Rong'an looks soft and beautiful, with a strong bookish look in her eyebrows and eyes.Wearing a pretty pink palace dress on her body, it brought out her softness even more.

"Look, this looks like a noble girl in Beijing." The queen was very satisfied, and even began to think about which other family in Beijing could be worthy of Rong An.

"Your Majesty, there is still an hour before the banquet. The princess is tired from driving and horses, so it is better to let the princess take a nap."

"Aunt Suihe's kindness." Princess Rong An smiled, intercepted the Queen's words first, and said to the Queen: "Auntie, Rong An misses the scenery of the Imperial Garden a little bit, and this is a good time for all the flowers to bloom."

Rong An declined Sui He's offer to accompany him, and only took his maidservant out.

With a flat face and a trace of melancholy between her brows, she asked her maidservant for a while, "How do you think I can stop my mother and aunt from choosing a son-in-law for me?"

The maidservant has been following Princess Rong'an all these years, and she also knows what her master is thinking.The two masters and servants discussed this topic many times, but there was still no perfect solution.

The maid thought for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Princess, the empress and madam are also doing something for you. Why don't the princess choose one."

Seeing the tendency of Princess Rong'an to frown, the maid hurriedly continued: "Princess, this servant understands what you mean, and wants to find a husband who loves each other. But you have a noble status, and only the princes of the aristocratic families in Beijing can do that." It matches your status, this time the princess will also take a look, try to get along, maybe there is a son who shares the same interests as you."

"If a happy marriage can be achieved in the end, the empress and madam can rest assured."

The maid's words were not completely unreasonable, Princess Rong An seemed to have listened to her words.Princess Rong'an sighed, even if she didn't want to, could her aunt and mother follow her wishes?

"I know, let's not talk about this. Although the Royal Garden has not changed for many years, I have not seen it for a long time, but I found some new ideas from it."

The maid obeyed Princess Rong'an's words, and breathed a sigh of relief. She was ordered by his wife to lobby the princess, and it finally achieved some results.

After a few more cups of tea, Princess Rong'an was a little tired and wanted to rest in the pavilion.Turning around the path, I found a door with hanging flowers.

The small courtyard at the gate is quiet, and the place where you can see is surrounded by hundreds of flowers, and the shadows from the trees add to the artistic conception.

It was rare to see such a scene in the palace, Princess Rong An was in high spirits, and walked into the small courtyard with her maid.

In the gazebo of the small courtyard sat a young man in brocade clothes, reading a book in his hand.He had long hair and a high beam, and his face was like a jade crown. His pale complexion made him look a little sick.Alarmed by Princess Rong'an, she raised her head in surprise and met Princess Rong'an's eyes.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Young Master was the first to react, stood up and cupped his hands.

Immediately, Rong An County Master's face glowed, and he retracted his feet when he stepped out. He hurriedly performed a blessing ceremony, turned around and left quickly.

The young master sat back and continued to read the book in his hand.

"My lord, my lord, why did you hide here, so that I can find you easily." A servant dressed as a book boy ran over panting.

The young master put away the book slowly, covered his lips and coughed lightly: "Mother and uncle finished talking?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness is looking for you, we should go back home." The servant put a thin cloak on the young man, and the weather in May fast forward to June still needs a cloak, which is enough to see the man's physical condition .

For the next night, Princess Rong'an couldn't even raise his spirits, and his mind was frequently distracted during the welcome banquet.

The Queen's reception banquet for Princess Rong'an, except for the clan, all the wives of the family with unmarried sons arrived, and Wen Jing even saw some wives of the officials of King Ning's faction.

Thinking of Jiang Xufeng's words yesterday, Wen Jing couldn't help but sigh, most of the marriages of aristocratic women are like this.Although Princess Rong'an's mother was from the Song family and was the queen's younger sister, Princess Rong'an's surname was Xiao.

A big family like Lanling Xiao's has several important ministers in the court.So far, there is no clear lineup, and they are the targets of the Prince's faction and King Ning's faction.

Even Mrs. Qing Guogong appeared at the banquet today, and she was talking with Princess Rong An at this time.

Princess Rong'an looked at the lady in front of him, trying to find out what she meant while speaking, saying that his son also loves poetry very much, and he can also win the first prize in the Beijing Central Poetry Festival every year.

Princess Rong An felt bored for a while, and suddenly the figure he had seen during the day flashed before his eyes.Surprised, he quickly came back to his senses, dismissed Mrs. Qing Guogong with three glances and two words, and hid in a corner to drink three cups of tea.

Wen Jing had a good impression of Princess Rong'an. Princess Rong'an was actually one year older than Wen Jing, but she talked to Wen Jing like a sister-in-law.He loves poetry but doesn't show off, and told Wen Jing many interesting stories about Jiang Xufeng's childhood.

The banquet was over, the palace had already lighted the lights, Jiang Xufeng came to pick Wen Jing back to the mansion, and Wen Jing teased him with the funny things Rong An told.

Jiang Xufeng took down the princess and teased him to hold his finger in his hand, and said with a smile: "Rong An's temperament has not changed."

The husband and wife chatted for a while, Jiang Xufeng didn't know which family the queen would choose for Rong An in the end, and Xiao Shi and his aunt didn't make it clear, as if everything was at the discretion of the queen.

After a few more days like this, there were rumors that Duke Qing's heir fell in love with Princess Rong'an and wanted to marry him.

Before Wen Jing had time to ask someone to inquire, the concierge said that Mrs. Jiang had come to the house after handing over the post.
