National Beauty

With the sound of firecrackers, the people of Beijing ushered in another new year.

The government of Weiguo received a bunch of posts, but the Guo family was not ready to entertain guests in the first month, because the wife of the sixth day of February was celebrating her 55th birthday, and she would invite relatives and friends to celebrate. Last year, Song Jianing had a long bubble at the corner of her mouth and hardly visited her door. This year she is in good shape. She went to banquets with her mother a few times, met a few friends who could talk about, and met a few people who looked down on her. There were joys and worries, both left and right. The stumbling between the little girls is best for happiness, and anger is only a moment of anger. When I go home and eat something delicious, I forget it.

Leaving the old and welcoming the new, Emperor Xuande made some changes to the court officials, and the Forbidden Army also reduced a number of disabled veterans. Once the Spring Festival passed, the Forbidden Army began the selection of a new batch of guards. Eighteen-year-old Guo Xiao was successfully selected and became a rookie guard in the three major battalions of the Forbidden Army. He returned with a set of cavalry light armor three days later.

The eldest grandson is promising, and the wife is very happy, and happily tells her grandson to put on the armor to show her. Guo's Sanfang, the twins, and the three-bedroom, four-year-old Shang Ge were all booing around. Song Jianing sat quietly beside his mother, with a smile on his face, but his thoughts ran into his last life.

When she was taken back to the capital by Guo Xiao from the south of the Yangtze River, Guo Xiao was already the deputy commander of Ma Jundu. The military camp is on the outskirts. Guo Xiao often goes directly to Zhuangzi from the military camp to find her. Most of the time, he stays at Zhuangzi, and occasionally he has to go back to the official mansion. He enters the door and hugs her into the inner room without taking off the armor. He just strips her off. Got to be naked.

Thinking of the situation, Song Jianing suddenly couldn't look directly at the young man who was receiving congratulations from the crowd. In this life, Guo Xiao no longer questioned her character. Song Jianing is really willing to be an ordinary step-sibling with him, but whenever some memories of the previous life come to mind, Song Jianing will be embarrassed for a moment when he remembers that they used to sleep together in the same bed. , Especially not used to being too close to Guo Xiao, try to avoid physical contact.

Just when Song Jianing was distracted, Guo Xiao had gone to the side room to change his light armor and returned, wearing a hat, helmet and riding boots. Mrs. Tai was full of praise with a smile. Guo Xiao didn't think he was so happy to enter the Forbidden Army. He was now just a lowest-rank guard, and when he became a high-ranking military official, he would be regarded as a real ancestor.

But looking at the proud smiling faces of his grandmother and younger sister, Guo Xiao's expression was a little softer than usual, his eyes swept over her stepmother and her step-sister inadvertently. The stepmother smiled softly and had a fat girl... I lower my eyes, I don’t know what I’m thinking, and it doesn’t look like. Like the other three younger sisters, their attention is on his eldest brother.

Guo Xiao pursed his lips, retracted his gaze and said to his wife, "Grandma, I will change clothes first."

Mrs. Tai nodded comfortedly.

At the same time, a carriage slowly abducted to the Qingping Alley where Weiguo Palace and Shouwang Palace were located. In the car, the corner of Aunt Tan's mouth was raised high, proud of her nephew being elected to the Imperial Imperial Army at the age of 18. Tan Xiangyu, 15, approached the window of the car, secretly opened a curtain and looked out, accidentally seeing the next door to the Palace of Weiguo In front of the Shouwang Mansion, there was a carriage parked. Looking at the regulations, it should be the Shouwang going out.

Tan Xiangyu stared at the door of the palace without blinking, full of curiosity about King Shou. Although everyone knew that King Shou was the most unloved among princes, he was the prince after all. The most powerful person Tan Xiangyu had ever seen in his life was his uncle Weiguo. Gong, I am very longing to see the demeanor of the grandchildren in my heart.

"Okay, ready to get off." The carriage was getting slower and slower. Aunt Tan adjusted her dress and reminded her daughter in a low voice.

Tan Xiangyu hummed, and the maid opened the curtain outside. She went down first, and then stood on the right side of the car door waiting for her mother to help her, but her eyes were looking expectantly at the Shouwang Mansion opposite. Coincidentally, when Aunt Tan probed out, a figure walked out of the main gate of the palace dozens of steps away. A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, slender and tall, wearing a jade-white dark-textured python robe with a jade belt around his waist, he only looks at his appearance and reveals his innate grace and grace. Tan Xiangyu can't help holding his breath and moving his sight, just in time for the other party. If he felt it, he looked sideways, revealing a handsome face like a fairy.

Tan Xiangyu straightened his eyes. Cousin Guo Xiao had outstanding features, but his cousin was too cold, so cold that she had the courage to approach him, but the Shou Wangye opposite looked much more peaceful and more elegant and handsome.

Aunt Tan first saw her daughter's silly face blushing weird, and then she looked forward along her daughter's line of sight, but only saw a touch of jade-blue clothes and the swaying car curtain that had just been put down, waiting for her to get out of the car. , The carriage of Shouwang's Mansion has set off slowly, and I don't know where to go.

Aunt Tan looked at the carriage for a while, and then looked at the appearance of her daughter's love for the first time. Aunt Tan coughed and motioned for her daughter to enter the government office. Lin and others are in Changxinyuan. The maids need time to pass on. Aunt Tan sat in the brightly-lit hall with windows. Watching the maids come in with tea and retreat to the side, Aunt Tan finally had time to ponder about her daughter.

In fact, she has always hoped to match her daughter with her elder nephew. In the future, her nephew will inherit the title, and her daughter will be the new lady of the country, so that the marriage between Guo and Tan can be formed from generation to generation. But Aunt Tan knew that Mrs. Tai and Guo Boyan could not look down on the Tan family. Now there is the Lin family stumbling block. It is too difficult for her daughter to marry a nephew.

Change to Shouwang?

The king of life stammered and was not treated by the emperor. He didn't even get a serious princess, but he was a prince no matter how badly he was. It was because of his poor conditions that his daughter had a chance to become a princess, even The Shou King has no real power, but the glory and wealth of his daughter I have been handed. Usually, even the lady of the country has to salute the princess.

But how to catch the King of Shou?

With serious concerns, Guo Xiao and Ting Fang brothers and sisters arrived, and Lin wanted to come over to entertain them, but Guo Xiao persuaded them. When he arrived at Linyuntang, Guo Xiao directly led his aunt and cousin to his Yihexuan.

Aunt Tan congratulated her nephew with a smile: "Now you are a errand person, do your best, and you will do your best to climb up early and win glory for the government."

Guo Xiao nodded: "Remember the teachings of my aunt."

Aunt Tan sent her daughter and niece to the yard for a walk. The two cousins ​​walked away. She looked outside and asked her nephew questioningly: "You are both eighteen, and now you have a reputation. Why, the grandfather and wife of the country have not yet Zhang Luo, your marriage?" In the eyes of Aunt Tan, the position of the nephew's son is not stable enough. It is serious to get married and have a son earlier. There were frequent wars in the frontiers of Zhou and Liao, and the imperial army would go to the battlefield at any time. In case the nephew had something good or bad, the heirs could still inherit the nobility, or the advantage would be taken by the Lin family.

Guo Xiao only cared about his marriage as his aunt, and said: "Father mentioned it once, but I don't have that thought for the time being. I'll talk about it in two years."

He wants to make contributions first, women are all burdens.

My nephew had a big idea, and Aunt Tan ignored her, and raised her chin outside the door: "Where's Ting Fang? This is all sixteen..."

Guo Xiao frowned and said truthfully: "My father is in favor of Brother Zhengchang, and my grandmother agrees. On the day of his birthday, he asked him to come and see him. If his sister doesn't object, the marriage will be decided this year."

The eldest son of Zhenbei General Handa is deceased, and his second son, Han Zhengchang, was born nineteen this year. He was born with a superb spearmanship. Guo Xiao met him when he was young, and later Han Zhengchang guarded the border with his father, and only came back at the end of each year, but the friendship between the two was not affected. As a good friend, Guo Xiao admires Han Zhengchang very much, but the younger sister really married, I am afraid that she will go to the border with Han Zhengchang. The brother and sister are separated, and Guo Xiao is really reluctant to leave.

Aunt Tan is even more reluctant. The niece will not get close. The niece cares about her very much. Only when the niece always says she is good can the niece remember her love for the aunt. Once the niece goes to the frontier, what should the niece gradually alienate from her? Feeling sour in her heart, Aunt Tan's tears came down, and she cried with her head tilted: "My poor Ting Fang, my mother is gone, and the grandfather of the country doesn't care for her, so she cruelly married her to that kind of bitter cold place... …"

"Brother Zhengchang has both ability and political integrity. He is a good son-in-law chosen by his father's thousands of choices, and his aunt has to think wildly." Guo Xiao was just a little reluctant to bear his sister, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with this marriage. Looking at the capital, people of the right age, let alone father, have nothing to admire. They are all a group of wine bags and rice bags relying on Lao Tzu.

Aunt Tan smiled bitterly, wiped her eyes and said: "He is your father. You don't like to hear me talk bad about him, but let's wait and see, your stepsister is twelve, right? You will be married in two years, and Lin She protects her, I don’t believe your father will marry her to the border land, just bullying Ting Fang to be honest."

Guo Xiao flashed a chubby little face in front of him, imagining that the greedy and stupid step-sister would one day marry another man, and be bullied by the other man, making her blushing apricot eyes like a spring rain, Guo Xiao Unconsciously squeezed his hand.

The Palace of the King of Chu.

Zhao Heng got out of the carriage, and as soon as he walked in the door, the king of Chu who received the news personally came out to pick up his brother, his face was full of spring breeze, as if there was something happy. Brother March was about to get married, and the bridal chamber was approaching. Zhao Heng was not surprised. After entering the hall, he looked at his brother inquisitively, waiting for him to speak first.

"Guess my third brother, why did I call you over?" Chu Wang said loudly, and Meiyu couldn't hide his pride.

Zhao Heng said: "I don't know."

King Chu glanced at his younger brother and slapped hard.

Zhao Heng looked at the entrance of the hall, and soon, three footsteps came from outside, and Grandpa Kang led the two women in white skirts to walk in. Father Kang ducked to one side, and the two women in white skirts bowed their heads forward, their waists slender like young willows swaying in the wind by the lake. Standing still, the two women Qi Qi Fuli, said softly: "The people's daughter pays homage to His Highness and the Third Highness."

The voice is soft and charming.

Zhao Heng's eyes turned cold, and he looked at his brother.

The king of Chu said with an invitation: "You are not young. Brother Goth asked someone to find you two Yangzhou beauties. Don't you like to paint? Let them add fragrance to your red sleeves." He got married in March, 9. The second brother of Yue got married. King Chu was worried that his brother would be uncomfortable, and hoped to use these two beauties to comfort him.

He was kind, but Zhao Heng didn't need it, so he got up and left.

The king of Chu was anxious, and chased after his younger brother. He persuaded him from the door of the hall until he got into the carriage, and the beauty failed to send him.

The author has something to say: Jianing: Two big beauties with small waists, why don't the princes want them?

Zhao Heng: Not as detailed as you.

Jianing: Really? I don't know it myself!

Zhao Heng: I don't see what I wear.

Song Jianing secretly overjoyed and ran into the small black room to check. Just as the skirt was taken off, there was a sudden creaking door opening outside.
