Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 96
"My son, I would like to follow the teachings of my father, queen and mother!" Fan Qiying's heart sank, and she said in a low voice: "My son, I am willing!"

"Okay, okay! Your Majesty, Yinger has agreed!" The queen wept with joy, and couldn't help shaking Emperor Fan's sleeves.

Emperor Fan was very helpless. This married wife has been in charge of the government for decades. Drop to zero!
"Since that's the case, let's talk about it after we're engaged!" Emperor Fan glanced at the queen and said to Fan Qiying.

"Father!" Fan Qiying was anxious.

"Don't worry!" Emperor Fan said calmly, "I have my own sense of proportion in my heart, and I won't miss your business!" It's not like he doesn't know the situation in Xi Kingdom. Now the ruling party is in charge of the government, and the new Empress Gu Qinghua was constrained everywhere, and the Tatars besieged Yu State. This incident was very strange. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. He had to send someone to find out the details before making a proper calculation!

"Ying'er, don't worry! Isn't it easy to get engaged? This matter is arranged by the queen mother, and it will be properly kept within ten days!" Queen Fan was delighted.The son is willing to take the bride, which is better!She believes that as long as she picks him a lady from a famous family with outstanding appearance and wisdom, how can the ones in the sky be as good as those around her, and his heart will come back naturally after a long time!

Fan Qiying looked helplessly at her mother, pretending not to hear her words.Hearing this, the queen mother has been secretly selecting concubines for him, maybe even the candidate list has been drawn up!

Sure enough, three days later, Empress Fan hosted a banquet in the palace under the pretext of enjoying flowers and drinking tea, and invited sixteen beautiful and virtuous women from famous families to attend, and at the same time, someone sent Fan Qiying to attend.

This is why Queen Fan loves her son so much. She thought, Fan Qiying and Gu Qinghua had a relationship between childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. Now that she is going to choose a princess for him, it is best for him to choose by himself, or a better one. What suits him is better than a blind marriage.

Fan Qiying didn't tire of trouble, under the kindness of His Royal Highness, Xiao Yinzi had no choice but to allow them to change into a dress for her, and went to the imperial garden in dismay.

Everyone knew that the queen's banquet was to choose a concubine for the prince, and every household spent all their money to dress up their daughters who had entered the game, with brocade clothes, embroidered skirts, jewels and gemstones, dressed in such a way that the queen was jealous I am full of joy, I just feel that everyone is fine.

When the prince came out, all the girls stepped forward shyly to pay respects, and quietly raised their eyes to stare. They saw that the prince had beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a stunning crown, and a tall and straight figure. A bunch of trembling longan-sized pearls are round and shiny, just like his gentle character.There seemed to be a faint sadness between his brows, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, adding a bit of mystery to his nobility, which made people feel a little pain in their hearts when they saw it, and their hearts suddenly felt pity.

The girls couldn't help blushing, their hearts beat slightly, and they were stunned for a moment.

The crown prince is the future queen, the most respected and honorable position for women in the world, and the prince has such a gentle and jade-like appearance, which woman will not be tempted by it?Yijia tried his best to show off in front of the queen and prince.

As a result, the imperial garden immediately became a fighting arena, and the strong smell of gunpowder gradually permeated the air from the bodies of the women. If you play the piano, I will play the flute; if you paint, I will write poetry; if you dance lightly, I will perform. Tea ceremony; if you are gentle and courteous, I will be dignified and generous; if you are good at speaking, I will hold flowers and smile...

For a while, the fight was extremely enjoyable, the queen and all the maids and eunuchs who were serving were dazzled, the prince alone was still indifferent, noncommittal.The queen glimpsed it quietly, and could only sigh secretly.

Afterwards, the empress sent someone to ask the prince to ask who he really liked, but the prince shied away again and again, always saying that he had to reconsider.

After seven or eight days, the prince went to the queen to answer. He said that he had taken a fancy to Xiao Qifang, the daughter of the left servant of the Ministry of War, and he wanted to marry Xiao Qifang as the princess.

Xiao Qifang?The queen was stunned for a moment, and the maids and nuns who accompanied the queen to choose the future daughter-in-law were also stunned, for a moment they couldn't remember who Xiao Qifang was or what she looked like.

"Xiao Qifang?" After a while, the empress tentatively asked: "But that girl who wears lotus-colored silver silk gown and light green embroidered white plum dress?" The empress was silent for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "The appearance is quite dignified." Delicate, that is, too quiet."

The maids and nuns beside the queen exchanged glances. When the queen said this, they also remembered that the lady from the Xiao family said that she was quiet to save face for the prince, but she was actually dull.They are all sweet and laughing, lively and show off their talents, pleasing the Queen and the Prince. She is the only one who has been hiding behind others, sitting quietly and motionless in an inconspicuous corner with her eyes down for more than half of the time. .

How can such a soft-footed crab who can't be seen by others and can't be on the stage be worthy of the prince?How can there be the grace and demeanor of the world?

The queen frowned slightly, and also felt that the prince's taste was a bit too "that". After a pause, she said with a smile: "Don't think about it, my son? I think the third lady of Taifu Jia's family—"

"The mother's queen is Miss Xiao's family, and my son will marry her." Fan Qiying gently interrupted the queen's words.

The empress sighed lightly for a while, and said: "Forget it, since you are the one you like, the empress mother agrees to you! When you return to your father in the evening, you will send someone to make an order with the Xiao family." After a moment's pause, the empress laughed again. : "I thought you liked those with a lively temper!"

The muscles on Fan Qiying's face twitched, his hands tightened, and he said, "Mother Lao has to worry about everything!"

The queen laughed at herself, nodded and said: "Don't worry, my son! This is your important matter, and the queen mother will take care of it properly." The queen couldn't help thinking, it's better to be quieter, so as not to teach him to think about it again. that one!If it is said that her temperament is lively, agile, and eccentric, who can match her?How many people in the world can match those big watery eyes and that sweet smile!

When the good news spread to the Xiao family, everyone was overjoyed, and the congratulatory guests broke through the threshold. Everyone said that the Xiao family girl is very lucky to marry a good husband with a unique identity, outstanding appearance and ability!
But later, rumors spread out from nowhere, saying that when Miss Xiao learned that she had been selected, she cried like tears and hanged herself quietly with a white silk. Fortunately, she was found and rescued by the maidservant.

I don't know if this news is true or not, but it is true that Miss Xiao's family suddenly fell ill in bed.After recuperating for a long time, using the imperial doctor, the empress and the crown prince bestowed countless precious nourishing herbs and all kinds of rare tributes, Miss Xiao gradually let go of her heart and took care of her body.

The wedding date was also postponed again and again until the end of the year, when it was scheduled to be held on the eighth day of April next year, that is, the eighth day of April in the fifth year of Xiguo Zhaoning.
