National Beauty

It's been a long time since Song Jianing went out in a carriage. She was alone in the car, listening to the regular and dull marching outside the window, Song Jianing leaned back on the carriage, and couldn't help but miss her daughter at home. The carriage bumped slightly. Just when Song Jianing was about to fall asleep, a horse hoof approached from the front. Through the gap in the curtain, Song Jianing saw the King Shou riding on the horse.

Song Jianing’s familiar Shouwang, likes to wear light-colored robes. He is as handsome as a breeze. But today, when traveling, the prince is dressed in a dark robe, with the reins in his hands, and a pair of black leather boots under his feet. General. With such a demeanor, Song Jianing's heart that was entangled by his daughter was immediately taken back. Seeing that he was also looking in, Song Jianing quickly sat upright and raised a corner of the curtain.

Zhao Heng rode his horse and watched the spring light all the way, but he was not as good as the little peach face exposed in the window, with apricot eyes moisturized like drops of dew, he looked at him for instructions, his eyes seemed to be entrained with admiration.

Zhao Heng did not speak, and pointed to the left side of the official road.

Song Jianing followed his fingers to look over, and was surprised to see a stretch of peach forest, in the warm spring season, the peach blossoms were endless like clouds. It was the first time that Song Jianing saw such a vast sea of ​​flowers. Song Jianing was completely exhausted. He lifted the curtain with one hand and half-covered himself. His eyes wandered among the peach trees. Compared with the springtime here, the small garden of Shouwang Mansion is really not enough. Look.

"The scenery of Beiyuan is far better than this." Zhao Heng looked at her and said.

Song Jianing's cheeks were slightly hot, glanced at him, and then whispered, "Thank you, the prince for taking me with you." She just couldn't bear her daughter, and didn't blame him for being overbearing. Song Jianing was still very happy when the prince was traveling and thinking about her.

She did not disappoint him. Zhao Heng was satisfied and reminded her: "Let it go." There are guards outside the car, and she should not show up.

Song Jianing nodded and looked at him again before putting down the curtains with a smile.

After more than an hour, the speed of the convoy slowed down, and the emperor Luan drove the palace first, followed by his concubines, and then the family members of the princes. Song Jianing had been sitting in the carriage and did not pay attention to the driving of other palaces. Until the carriage stopped in front of a courtyard, Song Jianing got out of the carriage supported by the two children, only to find the four princesses, only she and Princess Gong Li Mulan came. Up.

Song Jianing was startled, Princess Rui was pregnant and should not be bumpy, but why did her sister-in-law Feng Zheng not come? Did you stay in the palace and take care of your adult brother? With the thoughts, Song Jianing was vaguely uneasy. Brother Cheng was still a month older than Zhaozhao, and his sister-in-law was not willing to come, only she left her daughter to go out to play, the news spread, will it...

"Concubine pays homage to the princess."

His thoughts were interrupted, and Song Jianing discovered that the woman in the red dress that came out of the carriage of the Royal Palace of the Royal Palace had walked in front of her. It seemed that she should be a few years older than her. A melon seed face was white and shiny, and the eyebrows were thin and thin. Long, with fox eyes with upturned corners underneath, they are romantic and affectionate. Song Jianing fixedly looked at this woman, and a trace of injustice suddenly rushed into her heart. These eyes are genuine fox charms. Why do people say that she is charmed?

Song Jianing didn't like others chewing her tongue, but she would not dislike people who were charming because of this. On the contrary, she felt that Rui Wang, the favored concubine Zhang's appearance, was indeed extraordinary, no wonder Princess Rui hated her so much.

"Please get up." Song Jianing gave a false help.

Zhang looked at her quickly, smiled kindly, and then turned to salute Li Mulan who came by. Zhang has been favored by King Rui for so many years, the limelight has even overshadowed Princess Rui, and she has long become one of the strange women in Beijing. When Li Mulan saw Zhang's fox eyes different from others, just like Song Jianing, she guessed Zhang's Identity.

Li Mulan hummed faintly, and went straight to Song Jianing, and the concubine and concubines walked forward together.

Song Jianing teased her softly: "It seems that His Royal Highness likes her sister more and more." Although she is the third sister-in-law, but in private, Song Jianing is still used to calling sister Li Mulan.

Li Mulan was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say this?"

Song Jianing secretly glanced at Zhang's behind. His own prince took her, Rui Wang and Zhang, both of whom were the most beloved women in the backyard. In the past two years, Prince Gong’s Mansion has added two new concubines, but Gong Gong still took Li Mulan. Isn’t the intention still obvious?

Li Mulan couldn't laugh or cry, and was a little embarrassed to say: "Yes, I have to come." She stayed at Prince Gong's Mansion all the time. She had been suffocated long ago, and she had a rare opportunity to hunt. Li Mulan didn't want to miss it. Prince Gong chose a beautiful concubine and greeted her. Li Mulan had no objection at the time, because she didn't want to waste her quarrel. Before leaving this morning, she directly threw the beautiful concubine out to make King Gong angry. It's choking.

Song Jianing, who learned the truth, was shocked and didn't know what to say.

Li Mulan smiled heartily, patted her shoulder and said, "I don't care about that either, you wait, and I will ask you to see my skills tomorrow."

She was open-minded and free, Song Jianing no longer felt distressed, smiled and nodded.

The yards of the four princes were very close. Song Jianing said goodbye to Li Mulan and went back to his yard to clean up. Near noon, the Shouwang sent someone to spread the word, saying that he would accompany the emperor to dine and ask her to use it himself. Song Jianing had long expected that he would taste a few local dishes and soak in a hot bath to relieve his fatigue, so he went to the inner room to rest.

When Zhao Heng came back, Song Jianing was already asleep. Zhao Heng was standing by the bed. Seeing her brows stretched and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and guessing that she should be in a good mood before going to bed, Zhao Heng was relieved, sat for a while, and went to the front yard to rest. In the afternoon, my father and concubine Hui and Concubine Shu visited the garden, and Zhao Heng also wanted to take her to Beiyuan and sleep in separate rooms so that she could sleep peacefully.

Song Jianing slept well and woke up refreshed. Hearing the prince said that he would take her out, Song Jianing couldn't help laughing and changing clothes joyfully, forgetting that Zeng righteously resisted. Zhao Heng sat at the desk, watching Shuang'er and Liu'er serving around her, watching her dress up in the mirror with interest, probably because she had guarded her daughter for the past year, and now there is no daughter by her side, Zhao Heng suddenly felt that she It seems that she has become the Four Girls of the Guogong Mansion again, the little girl who is easy to be bullied, but also agile and playful.

He looked at the princess and saw the gods, and Song Jianing also saw the prince's "obsessive" appearance clearly through the mirror, sweet and a little ashamed in his heart. The maids are still there, and the prince is so embarrassed to stare at her unobtrusively.

Dressed up, the couple walked out of the hall side by side.

Father Fu smiled and said, "Master, the emperor has gone to swim in the lake."

No matter how big Beiyuan is, there are only a few places that can go. Zhao Heng didn't want to run into his father's emperor. After thinking about it, he said to Song Jianing, "Go to Meifeng."

Song Jianing laughed: "Okay." She would go wherever the prince went.

Meifeng is located on the southeast side of Beiyuan. Zhao Heng and Song Jianing walked ahead, and only Fu Gonggong followed behind. Beiyuan is much larger than the imperial palace. Song Jianing can't take care of the scenes one step at a time. He watched and chatted with him: "Does the prince know why his sister-in-law didn't come?"

Zhao Heng said, "I'm adult, my stomach is unwell."

Song Jianing was taken aback, and Zhao Heng promptly said, "It's not a serious problem." Otherwise, his brother would not follow.

Only when I became a mother did I know how hard it was to raise a child. I was sure that my nephew was okay. Song Jianing breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "I will go and see when I return to Beijing."

Zhao Heng nodded, and saw a rose stand in front of her, and a few flowers bloomed on the green vines. Looking at her bun with only a butterfly hairpin in her hair, Zhao Heng pointed to the other side. The spring is splendid. Since there are scenes everywhere, you shouldn't just head towards the scheduled Meifeng. Song Jianing also likes rose flowers, and smiled and changed his direction with him.

Unexpectedly, when the couple were only ten steps away from the flower stand, on the other side of the dense green roses and vines, they suddenly turned to a pair of masters and servants. The leading lady in white shirt and blue skirt was Chen Xiu, who had a close relationship with Song Jianing. , The granddaughter of Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the two dynasties. A beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a delicate white rose on her head, which makes her beautiful, like a fairy appearing in a flower bush.

"The courtier sees the prince and the princess." With surprise flashing across his eyes, Chen Xiu walked a few steps quickly, saluting gracefully.

Zhao Heng didn't say a word, his gaze swept across Chen Xiu's hair, his thin lips pressed slightly.

Song Jianing didn't expect Chen Xiu to come, and said politely, "Sister, please."

Just looking at Chen Xiu, he frowned without noticing His Royal Highness Shou Wang next to him.

Chen Xiu lowered her head and didn't see it, but looking at the hem of King Shou Wang's embroidered moiré pattern, she couldn't tell the surprise in her heart. Just before seeing someone coming from a distance, Chen Xiu subconsciously hid behind the flower stand. Unexpectedly, Wang Shou brought the princess toward her. Chen Xiu's heart was pounding, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the prince found her and turned the direction deliberately?

Why did the prince do this?

Chen Xiu can only think of one reason, and that reason is exactly what she desires.

"Xie Wangye, princess." Chen Xiu blushed and stood up straight. His beautiful eyes swept across the face of King Shou Wang Junmei timidly and imperceptibly. Chen Xiu was only greeting Song Jianing: "Grandfather praised the scenery of Beiyuan and called his courtier. When I went out for a stroll, I didn’t expect to encounter the prince and princess by chance. Please forgive me for any interruptions."

Her voice was mellow, and Song Jianing subconsciously wanted to be polite. Just about to speak, Yu Guang suddenly saw the prince turn and leave. Song Jianing was a little dazed, but it was important to chase the prince, so she casually signaled Chen Xiu to continue to enjoy the scenery. She hurried to chase the prince, and the couple walked out a distance in a blink of an eye, leaving Chen Xiu stunned in place, unable to figure out why King Shou suddenly left.

"The prince won't appreciate the rose?" Song Jianing raised her head and asked in confusion.

Zhao Heng looked at her and said coldly: "Keep away from her."

Song Jianing only realized that the prince did not like Chen Xiu, but why would the prince resist a boudoir girl? After thinking about it, Song Jianing suddenly realized that the prince did not like to befriend courtiers. Chen Xiu was the granddaughter of the prime minister Zhao Pu. The prince was worried that she would be close to Chen Xiu, causing rumors, right?

Song Jianing agreed first, and then cautiously explained: "Master, I am not familiar with Ms. Chen. I met in the Palace on Double Ninth Festival. The empress asked me and my sister-in-law to call her sister, so I..."

Zhao Heng really didn’t like Chen Xiu, because Chen Xiu desecrated the rose he wanted to pick her. He thought that the princess was so wise to think so far, so stupid, Zhao Heng's unpleasantness disappeared, holding her hand and looking ahead. : "She is not worthy."

Not worthy of being worthy of his princess and sisters.
