Red makeup against the world

Chapter 913 Happy Things
"Mother?" Shi Jingfu was about to rest when she saw Mrs. Zhuang come in, slightly surprised.

It's so late, there must be something wrong with my mother coming to find me.She is just simple-minded, but she is not stupid. She can see that Mrs. Zhuang has something on her mind just by meeting her.

Mrs. Zhuang grabbed her hand and sat down on the bed.Looking at the delicate and delicate daughter like a flower, he stretched out his hand and pressed a strand of her hair that fell from the corner of her forehead behind her ear, and sighed slightly.

"Mother," Shi Jingfu looked at her obediently, and said, "If mother has anything to say, just tell her directly."

Mrs. Zhuang's heart beat, no matter how hard it is to say these words, she must say them, there is no other way out.

"Fu'er, you should be fourteen after the new year."

Shi Jingfu nodded ignorantly. Her birthday is in the first month of the month, but why did her mother suddenly mention this.

"Today, Empress Defei asked me to enter the palace to talk about your lifelong events. She suggested that you enter the Prince's residence as a side concubine?" Mrs. Zhuang picked up what she could say, and slowly told Shi Jingfu.

"Side concubine?" Shi Jingfu naturally understood the meaning of these two words.No wonder, after my mother came back from the palace, she has been preoccupied.

The side concubine just sounds nice, but it is actually a concubine's room.With the family status of Duke Anguo's mansion, it is not enough to sacrifice his daughter to please the crown prince.

Looking at her puzzled face, Mrs. Zhuang couldn't say the most important reason.He had no choice but to say: "Your father also meant the same thing. At home, these years have been a bit difficult. Relying on the concubine Defei alone in the palace, she can't do things with her own strength."

After saying these words, Mrs. Zhuang dared not look her in the eyes.

No matter how beautified or concealed, it will not change her intention to sell her daughter in exchange for the prosperity and safety of the An Guo government.As the mistress of the Shi family, no matter how much she loves her daughter, she has to consider Shi Jingze's future as well as her daughter's future.

Right now, Shi Jingze is working in the Ministry of War. He has done a few practical things and received some compliments.

When the crown prince ascends the throne, the big stones that have weighed down on Duke An's mansion in the past will be completely removed.If the prince wants to employ people, he will definitely not stick to the grievances between Emperor Qinglong and the old An Guogong, which belong to the previous generation.

At that time, if the Shi family has a concubine in the palace, Shi Jingze's journey will definitely be much smoother.

"Mother, you don't have to be embarrassed."

Shi Jingfu's voice was as clear as a mountain stream, and she said: "I am the daughter of the Shi family, so I should share my mother's worries. The prince is wise and powerful. I heard that he is brave and brave, and he shared weal and woe with the soldiers on the battlefield."

Since the Great Victory in the North, under the deliberate connivance of Emperor Qinglong, the prince's military achievements have been spread among the people.There is also the storyteller, who compiled several thrilling battles into stories and told them to the common people in restaurants and teahouses.

Therefore, as long as the common people in the capital know the prince's heroic deeds, Shi Jingfu is no exception.

"Daughter thinks, if you marry him, it's not bad." She smiled so innocently that Mrs. Zhuang's heart was hit hard.

Mrs. Zhuang held her in her arms distressedly, and said: "If Fu'er doesn't want to, you don't have to go. Even if my mother dies, I will fight for you."

No matter how she risked her life to reject it, neither Concubine Shi De nor Duke An could hold her back.After all, in her heart, her daughter is still not as important as her son.

Shi Jingfu shook her head and said with a smile, "My daughter has met the prince a few times and thinks he is a good man."

She has a pure mind, and even at the age when she should marry, she doesn't have the thoughts of a lady.For her, the difference between marrying the prince and marrying someone else is whether it is the main wife or a concubine.

Since the family needs it, it is not a bad idea to be a side concubine.

More importantly, she couldn't bear to embarrass her mother so much.

"Mom, what should I do next?"

When the prince was still the king of Qi, he was just a side concubine, and he accepted it as he wanted.

But at this time his identity has changed, it is no longer as simple as before.Shi Jingfu naturally understood this truth.

"Tomorrow, I will take you into the palace to meet the empress."

Mrs. Zhuang eased her emotions, suppressed her reluctance, and said: "The empress likes brave girls. Tomorrow, you should dress neatly."

Shi Jingfu nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. I have a hunting suit that I just made and I haven't worn it yet, so I can wear it tomorrow."

She is a girl in a boudoir, and she is not as rigid in dress as a doomed woman, but must abide by the rules and etiquette.

When Princess Zhaoyang was not married to Khitan, she often wore hunting clothes and Hu clothes in the palace, and played Cuju and went hunting with the court ladies.

Looking at such a sensible daughter, Mrs. Zhuang felt relieved and distressed at the same time, "It's getting late, hurry up and rest. Mother is here today, talking to you."

"Okay!" She hadn't slept with her mother for a long time.Shi Jingfu quickly lifted the quilt, and asked with a playful expression: "Mother, please sleep in, so that I won't be dishonest and disturb you at night."

……

As the night darkened, Xu Wanzhen yawned and put down her embroidery work.

Glancing at the time mark, it was already the hour of the hour.She stretched herself, still wanting to wait for him.Since he didn't send someone back specifically to say that he would not return to the mansion, he would definitely come back.

The ground dragon is burning in the room, and the light scent of magnolia flowers is lit in the corner.Xu Wanzhen was lying on the table, thinking that she would only take a short rest.Unable to resist the surge of tiredness, he slowly closed his eyes.

When Wu Zhengxiang came in, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping in spring under a lamp.

As she took a shallow breath, her long eyelashes fluttered one by one, casting a shadow under her eyes.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, she didn't know what she dreamed of, which made her so happy.Her long hair fell softly on her shoulders, outlining her graceful figure exquisitely.

She was obviously very sleepy, but she insisted on waiting for her to return home.

Wu Zhengxiang's heart suddenly softened into a mess.Gently picked up the thin blanket that was placed aside, and covered her shoulders.

In order not to wake her up, Wu Zhengxiang made light work steps.After going to the clean room to wash and change into pajamas, she came out and carried her to the bed, and pulled her a brocade quilt.

Feeling the familiar temperature, Xu Wanzhen dazedly grabbed his lapel, arched into his arms, and asked vaguely: "Yizhi, why did you come back so late?"

"The emperor is going out of the city tomorrow, and there are many things to do." Wu Zhengxiang smiled. There was something that made him very happy today. He originally planned to tell her. Seeing that she was so confused, he just let her sleep well. .

"Go to sleep, I will tell you something happy tomorrow morning."

Wu Zhengxiang adjusted the person in his arms to a comfortable position, smelling the all-too-familiar cold fragrance from his nose, his heart was extremely peaceful.

I don't know if Xu Wanzhen heard what he said, but she barely opened her eyes, seeing that he didn't intend to speak anymore, she fell asleep again.

A quiet and fragrant room, a good night's dream.
