wedding dress

Chapter 214 Hot Spring
The fruits in the back mountain of Kangquan do ripen earlier than other places. The peaches are fresh and big, and only three or four can fit in a plate.Smell a sweet fragrance, open a little hole, and the juice will rush out.Xiao Dongding likes to eat this peach. While peeling off the skin, he sucks the juice and then eats the peach.

The sixth princess came up from the pool and lay down lazily on the couch: "How many have you eaten?" She stretched out her fingers and counted the cores on the plate: "One, two, three...eight, hello, You can't eat anymore, be careful to burst your stomach."

Xiaodong sucked his fingers, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't eat."

The sixth princess stretched out her hand and touched Xiaodong's waist. Xiaodong was afraid of itching, so she shrank with a smile: "What are you doing? There are plenty of them if you want to eat."

"Oh, my waist can't go back." She said emotionally, patted her belly: "A few days ago, I packed my luggage and prepared to come out, only to find that the clothes I used to wear are almost useless."

"It can change back, just don't stay in the house all the time, you need to move more." Xiaodong said, "Didn't Empress Shu teach you? Look at her, she still has a slender waist."

Concubine Shu is the mother of two children, her figure is still slender, from a distance and up close, it is impossible to see that she can have a daughter as old as the sixth princess, there is no trace of lines on her face, her skin is still tender and smooth .

"That's not the same." The sixth princess gave her a blank look: "Can the inside of the palace be the same as the outside?"

Yes, that's different.

"Oh, how much I have suffered because of that kid Cong'er." The sixth princess turned over and lay down.

"He will be filial to his parents in the future, it's worth the hardship."

The sixth princess chuckled: "Stop dreaming, I never counted on that. There have been many infatuated parents in ancient times, but not many filial children. It is said that parents owed debts in previous lives, and children are creditors. Give him what I can. I didn’t understand it before, but now I know it. When I looked at Cong’er, I wanted to give him what I have, everything in this world, as long as he is happy. "

The fourth princess also came up, and then said: "Who says it's not, it's owed by the previous life."

Xiaodong took a book to the side, and the fourth princess drank two sips of tea: "By the way, there are quite a few people who have come to Kangquan to recuperate recently. Why don't we..."

"Stop it." The sixth princess said, "Do you still want to hold a poetry meeting here? Let's all soak in the water naked and chant poems together?"

The fourth princess couldn't help laughing: "You, you, this mouth is still so tricky."

"It's so easy to come out, let's be honest and quiet for a few days, and talk to those people, aren't you tired?"

The fourth princess looked out: "Why, the fifth sister didn't come?"

"Well, I asked someone to invite her just now, but she couldn't tell." The sixth princess muttered, "We are worried about having too much flesh, and she is probably worried about too little flesh? Once the clothes are taken off, it must be a thin bamboo pole." .”

"Fifth Sister is not easy, so don't stab her all the time."

The sixth princess rolled her eyes: "Tell her to come out together, but she is locked in the room every day. Even if I want to stab her, I must be able to see her."

People will always be more tolerant of those who are less fortunate than themselves.The fifth princess used to be the imaginary enemy of the sixth princess, but now the sixth princess no longer regards her as an opponent.

"By the way, I'm inquiring about a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or not." The sixth princess patted Xiaodong: "That...what's the last name of the girl you met last time?"

The fourth princess added: "The surname is Yin."

"Yes, this surname is not pleasant." The sixth princess said, "I heard people say that she seems to have engaged in marriage."

"What?" Xiaodong sat up straight all of a sudden.

"Hey, don't be surprised. When Cong'er was full moon, I heard people talking about it in a daze, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Are you engaged, or have you ever been engaged?

Although they sound similar, there is a big difference between the two.If a marriage has already been made, then Zhao Lu's thoughts... and Xiaodong's previous thoughts are all in vain.If you have been engaged before, it depends on who you have engaged with and why it didn't work out.

But after the last meeting, Xiaodong originally thought that she hadn't married because she still had a cousin above her who was not married, so she was delayed.

How could it... be engaged?

"I don't know the basics of these things. You can ask Fourth Sister to help you ask. She knows a lot of people and has the best information."

Xiaodong turned his gaze to the fourth princess.

The fourth princess pondered for a while, and said softly: "Actually... I've heard of it too."

"What's the matter?"

The fourth princess knew that Xiaodong and Zhao Lu were not indifferent like other brothers and sisters, so she was very concerned.

"It was Madam Liu who mentioned it. She said that when Miss Yin's father was alive, she had betrothed her. But after her father passed away and her family fell into poverty, she and her mother lived with her uncle's family. The family found a reason Withdrew the marriage."

The sixth princess blinked: "Have you already retired? Then it's not her fault, it's obviously the family that dislikes the poor and loves the rich."

The fourth princess shook her head: "It's not like that. It's not easy for a girl in this world. Although it's her misfortune to lose her parents when she was young, it's also her defect. Now that someone is getting married, she won't choose the girl who lost her parents .That is to say, leaving aside the dowry, not to mention the family background, but also the upbringing. I am afraid that some serious illness will be passed on to the children in the future..." After a pause, she continued: "Besides, the marriage was canceled after being engaged. As far as character is concerned, it's always... Even if a woman who has been divorced from her marriage is married later, she can only be a second-class family - and she doesn't have any dowry, which is even more..."

Xiaodong didn't expect such a thing to happen, he was stunned for a while, and asked, "Why didn't Fourth Sister tell me earlier?"

"Mrs. Liu also told me about this after the flower party. She has always had a strict personality. If we hadn't had a good relationship, she wouldn't have said it. I wanted to tell you, but then— ——My mother was ill, and... I just forgot about it. "

Xiaodong understood.

The queen was seriously ill, and the four princesses served at the sick bed.Later, the queen passed away... This matter was very important to me and my brother, but to the fourth princess, it had nothing to do with her. It was not surprising that she put it aside and then forgot about it.

The sixth princess thought for a while: "Well, although it's a bit irritating, but what the fourth sister said makes sense. Although it's not her fault, but if she really becomes the crown prince, this matter will be revealed again, saying that she once promised It's really inappropriate to be outstanding and get divorced again. In my opinion, let's forget about it, and don't bother thinking about it."

Xiaodong didn't make a sound.

The fourth princess also said: "There are many good girls in the capital, and she is not the only one. I also like her character and appearance. But who let this unlucky thing be caught up by her?"

Yes, it's not her fault.

In fact, when Xiaodong thinks of her now, he feels pity and pity in his heart.

It must be very hard to live without a parent at a young age and live under the fence.She is so smart, gentle, and kind to others—I'm afraid that a long life has made her like this. Without a father, without a home of her own, she has no right to be willful and spoiled.No one will pamper her and let her go.

Moreover, he was once divorced.

How harsh this era is on women.

No, even in the era of Xiaodong's previous life, women were just as harsh.

The raped woman called the police and caught the gangster, but this was not the end of one nightmare, but the beginning of another.Others always looked at her strangely, and whispered behind her. Many people would even say, so many people in the street, why they didn't find others but her?Is it because flies don't bite seamless eggs...

So many women chose to remain silent, swallowing their humiliation in the face of those violations.

The sixth princess asked curiously: "Fourth sister, do you know who is the family who retired from marriage?"

"Mrs. Liu mentioned something, I don't remember clearly. Well, what is the surname? Cui? No, no. Um, is the surname Wu? Yes, I remember she said that the surname is Wu, and she is also from an official family."

"Is it from Jingli?"

"It must be, otherwise Mrs. Liu would not know so clearly." The fourth princess comforted Xiaodong: "Anyway, no one has mentioned this matter now, and everyone has forgotten it. Has Zhao Lu been back to Beijing these days? He mentioned it Is this the case?"

Xiaodong shook his head: "I haven't mentioned it. My brother is very busy, so I haven't mentioned it to him."

"That's right. Don't mention it again, just forget about it."

But how can it be so easy to forget?
She crushed the peach in Xiaodong's hand, and the juice dripped down her hand, making it sticky and uncomfortable.She came back after washing her hands and pondered the matter carefully.

People living in this world are actually living in the eyes of others.From the innocence, self-willedness, and ignorance of a child, through experience setbacks, and understanding of the world, gradually become mature, humble, patient, and tactful.

This is the process that growth must go through, and the price that must be paid.

Does Zhao Lu know about this?
What would he think if he knew?

Does he care?
Xiaodong knows Zhao Lu very well.

No, brother won't care, what other people think or look at, those are not important.As long as it is the person Zhao Lu puts in his heart, he will give wholeheartedly and try his best to make the other person happy.

Does King An care?
Xiaodong shook his head.

Dad didn't care.He is actually the most deviant person, very, very duplicity.

As long as Zhao Lu likes it, King An will definitely not object.

What about yourself?His own opinion must also be crucial to Zhao Lu's marriage.

Do you care about yourself?
No, Xiaodong doesn't care either.

As long as he can live well, as long as Zhao Lu is happy, he doesn't care who Xiaodong wants to marry.

Once he figured this out, Xiaodong was no longer depressed.

In this matter, the most important thing is Zhao Lu's wishes.

Perhaps it was because the capital city was too depressing, Xiaodong and the others had only been here for less than two days, and the emperor's Luanyu had also arrived in Kangquan.
