National Beauty

The son chose the princess only to look at her face, but Emperor Xuande could not casually decide on his daughter-in-law, and said with a serious face: "You go back to the mansion first, I will consider it."

Zhao Heng acquiesced in salute and quit.

He entered the palace in the morning, and it took a long time for the Queen of Chu to get the news, and went to the Shou Palace after finishing his errands.

Zhao Heng stayed in the study for a day. At this moment, he came to the lotus pond in the courtyard. In early winter, the lotus leaves had already withered, and the fish were nowhere to be seen. He stood on the wooden bridge with his hands on the wooden bridge, his eyes fixed on the water. Know what you are looking at. King Chu glanced at his younger brother, and tentatively asked, "Did you go into the palace and beg your father to marry him?"

Zhao Heng nodded.

King Chu raised his brows with joy: "What did the emperor father say?" Thinking that his brother was about to get married, King Chu was happier than he was when he decided to kiss him. It's really this bored gourd brother that makes him worry too much. If he is married to a daughter-in-law, he will be able to serve the newborn ancestor of the family as an elder brother.

"He wants to think about it." After finishing talking, Zhao Heng turned the small stone in his hand for a while and threw it into the water.

The smile on King Chu's face stiffened, and then he understood again. He smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder: "Don't worry, when I asked the emperor father to point your sister-in-law to me, the emperor father said the same. It took seven or eight days. I've given the right words. For marriage issues, the father must confirm that the girl we picked is worthy of the princess. It will definitely take time. This is all normal."

Zhao Heng looked at his elder brother, his expression on his face did not change, but his chest felt a little more comfortable. The father specifically pointed out her identity, and he thought that the consideration of the father's mouth would be inaccurate.

After leaving his elder brother, Zhao Heng continued to practice calligraphy and painting every day. Five days later, news came from the palace asking him to enter the palace.

"Father." Once again stepped into the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Heng respectfully saluted.

Emperor Xuande waved his hand and took out his son's memorial. "I said a year ago, let you choose a princess that you like. It's just that the girl of the Guo family has a special status. I must make sure that she is qualified for the princess. In this way, I will start the spring next year. The draft will be arranged so that she will learn the rules for a month with other girls in the palace. If she can persist until the end, I will give you a marriage."

Zhao Heng's eyes changed slightly, and he persisted until the end. Does the father want to test her with his hands and feet?

"I'm only telling you this, don't tell her secretly." Emperor Xuande joked.

Zhao Heng immediately said: "I dare not."

Returning to the palace in the carriage and walking inside, Zhao Heng glanced at the Palace of Weiguo next door, thinking about the four or five months before the draft. She just suffered a setback in Luzhen, and the Guo family will marry again next year. With two girls, Guo Boyan shouldn't arrange marriage for her at least until the three girls get married.

So, he waited with peace of mind.

Entering the winter moon, there was a snowfall in the capital. After the snow melted, the weather became colder. Song Jianing could not wait to stay in the house all day and not go anywhere, but Brother Mao was very energetic. He had to go out after eating in the morning. Run, I have to accompany my sister. Song Jianing refused every time, but as soon as she was acted like a baby by her fat brother, Song Jianing couldn't hold on, put on a cloak and held the hand stove, and resignedly accompany her brother to blow the north wind.

It was freezing cold, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the lake in the garden of the Palace of Weiguo. The twins bought two ice carts for Brother Maoer and Brother Shang. They were actually two round wooden basins with thick and solid cotton cushions on the inside, and the back of the chair was reliable, and then two ropes were pulled in front of them. , Let the little boy walk on the frozen lake.

The two boys like them so much, they make an appointment to play on the ice at dawn, and the game will see who runs the lake lap first. The little brother pulling the cart screamed white steam, and the two brothers were sitting on the ice cart and yelling excitedly. Song Jianing didn't dare to play on the ice, and was not worried about leaving her brother behind, so she asked Shuang'er to move a chair. She sat facing south, lazily basking in the sun.

Sister Lanfang didn't like to come out, Yunfang was still detained by Mrs. Tai, and she coaxed her younger brother every day in the huge Guogong Mansion.

Song Jianing was sitting in a chair reading a book on this day, when the two suddenly approached, she whispered: "Girl, the cousin is here."

There is now a cousin in the Palace of Weiguo. Song Jianing turned his head and saw Liang Shao walking towards her along the lake bank. He was wearing a bamboo-blue robe, his handsome face was illuminated by the sun, as if a fairy appeared on stage, and his whole body was plated. Layer of golden light. But Song Jianing knew just how hypocritical the man in Jinguang was, so he leaned back in his chair and continued to read.

"Cousin Jianing is so Yaxing."

Liang Shao approached slowly, looking at the girl shrunk in the large red sandalwood chair, and said, his eyes could not be concealed. She was wrapped in a plum-red cloak. There is no wind today. She still wears a cloak and hood. The snow-white fox fur lining her cheeks is like a flower. She leaned there lazily now, and didn't get up when he came. , A bit rude, but even more people want to please her.

Song Jianing ignored him, his wife was not there, and she did not want to waste time with Liang Shao. Once she had all her heart on Liang Shao, sewing a robe for him, cooking soup for him, Liang Shao was good, and then sent her out. Give it away, this person didn't dare to tell her face to face, and actually used three kinds of tricks like drugging!

Are you afraid of being cruel and ruthless by her?

Thinking of the suffocation of the previous life, Song Jianing couldn't enter a word. He glanced at the hem of the man's clothes, and then listened to the excitement of his brothers. Song Jianing bit his lip, finally put down the book and stood up, looking at Liang Shaowen with a smile. : "It's getting closer and closer to Chunwei, my cousin is not studying hard in the study, how can I give up?"

She smiled like a flower, and her moist apricot eyes seemed to express infinite affection. A person like Shuang'er who waits by Song Jianing every day, naturally knows that as long as Song Jianing smiles, whether it is for Mrs. Tai or the maid in the house, her apricot eyes will be particularly attractive, and she is naturally charming.

But Liang Shao, who rarely deals with Song Jianing, didn’t know. When Song Jianing looked at him like this, Liang Shao’s soul was lost, and his love words became more sincere. Peach Blossom Eyes looked at Song Jianing deeply: "I don’t know why, I just figured it out. Walk around, and unexpectedly will meet Jianing's cousin. The cousin is so eager to learn, I don't know what book she is reading?"

Song Jianing turned around, picked up the recipe on the chair and handed it to Liang Shao.

Liang Shao opened it, laughed, and watched Song Jianing jokingly: "I have heard that my cousin is good at eating. I don't know how the cooking skills are?"

Song Jianing's cooking skills are of course good. In her previous life, she was trapped in the house by her second uncle and aunt. She had nothing to do but to pass the time in the embroidery room and kitchen. After becoming Liang Shao's concubine, Liang Shao praised her cooking skills many times and said that getting her was the greatest blessing in his life. Now listening to Liang Shao mentioning this, Song Jianing remembered all those deceit and disappointment again, and she immediately tickled with hatred.

"Not very good, I can only eat." Song Jianing said perfunctorily, and then quickly changed the subject, pointing to the surface of the lake and said: "Cousin dare to go up there?"

Liang Shaoxiao: "Naturally."

Song Jianing's eyes lit up: "Then let's play with the blind. Brother Mao just now wanted to play. I think there are few people and it's not fun."

The beauty is charming and cute. Liang Shao looked at the ice, and a scene automatically appeared in his mind. Song Jianing slipped and fell. He held it in time, and the beauty was in his arms, a god-given opportunity.

"Okay." Liang Shao smiled at Song Jianing indifferently.

Song Jianing also laughed, shouting that the younger brothers who had run across the lake came back.

When I heard that my sister was going to play with the blind on the ice, Brother Mao and Brother Shang were very happy, so Song Jianing ordered the two to get the blindfolded black scarf. While waiting, Song Jianing left Liang Shao, she led her two younger brothers to the side, squatted down and muttered softly. The two boys looked at Liang Shao, and both laughed.

Liang Shaoxing looked at Song Jianing enthusiastically, guessing that Song Jianing had probably come up with some idea to tease him.

"Well, let's hold the palms of our hands and the backs of our hands, the first one to be blind is different." Song Jianing suggested that he brought the younger brothers back to Liang Shao.

The corners of Liang Shao's lips raised, it was already clear what Song Jianing had just planned.

The two big and four small shots at the same time, Liang Shao deliberately slowed down for a moment. Seeing that Song Jianing and the two boys had palms, he smiled and stretched out with the back of his hand facing upwards.

He was going to be blind. Brother Mao was the first to laugh. Brother Shang turned to look at the lake. Liang Shao didn't care much about the children, only Song Jianing.

Song Jianing thanked him sweetly: "Thank you, cousin for letting us."

"It should." Liang Shao whispered, his eyes gentle.

Song Jianing pretended to be shy and lowered her head. When the pair came, she asked Liang Shao to squat down. She blindfolded him with her hands, making sure that Liang Shao would not see anything, and followed Brother Shang to lead Liang Shao onto the ice. For Liang Shao, Song Jianing is not afraid of ice anymore, and walks ahead to lead Shang's way.

Soon, Song Jianing stopped in front of an ice cave.

This ice cave into which a chair can be placed was cut out by the twins the day before yesterday. The brothers put down the bait and caught a few fat fishes in the awe-inspiring eyes of the brothers. After the master catches the fish, the young man stuffed the ice cubes back into place. Yesterday the ice cubes re-condensed. Brother Mao was naughty. He took the young man in one hand and stepped on it with the other foot. The stepped loose again. Come here this morning. Stepped on a few feet, and poke the ice cube inside with a stick.

Just now Song Jianing and his younger brothers actually conspired in two things. The first is that the brothers and sisters use the same palms, and the most important thing is to lure Liang Shao into the water. Brother Mao listened to his sister, and Brother Shang was a good boy, but who gave the bad idea to his beautiful fourth sister? A strange cousin, a sister who has lived together for three years, of course Brother Shang listens to her sister.

It was the twins. After seeing Song Jianing's plan, they frequently shook their heads at Song Jianing, worried that his cousin would have an accident and Song Jianing would be punished.

Song Jianing was not afraid at all. The young men of the two younger brothers are by their side, and they will surely be able to rescue Liang Shao in time. Liang Shao will freeze at best. Even if he guessed that she was deliberate, he would definitely pretend that Liang Shao was infatuated with the Guogong Mansion. degree. As for Mrs. Tai, Song Jianing behaved like a beast, and her grandmother liked her so much, she shouldn't be punished heavily.

When she was ready, she arranged Liang Shao to stand with her back to the ice cave, and Song Jianing went around to the other side of the ice cave. Then after Liang Shao counted to ten, she deliberately reminded her brother in a low voice: "Brother Mao, don't move..."

Brother Mao took Brother Shang and ran with him. Hearing what his sister said, he immediately stood up obediently.

Liang Shao also heard Song Jianing's voice, and the corners of his lips raised slightly. He slowly turned around and walked towards Song Jianing's direction step by step.

Song Jianing stared at his feet nervously, one step, two steps, three steps... When Liang Shao took the sixth step, when his feet fell, this time, he did not step on anything, with a "boom", blinking. In between, Liang Shao completely fell into the ice hole!
