Chapter 39 Princess Anjing

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come.

Princess Anjing suddenly returned to Beijing. As the only daughter of the empress dowager and the sister of the saint, almost the whole capital was boiling. Princess Yinghua, who grew up with Princess Anjing, looked happier than her second son. She didn't have time to go to the palace to meet her, and because Princess Anjing only brought her little daughter to Beijing. The eventful people inquired that Princess Anjing's little wife was 28 years old and generous and had not yet been allowed to marry. Maybe it's for next spring, I will come in advance to take care of my daughter's eyes and see a good man.

Some people are ready to move, some people watch with good things in their hearts, and some people are still worried. For example, Ling.

The Gui list has been announced for a long time. Several families are happy and sad, preparing for the spring, and those who are ready to go home and study in autumn three years later. Ling nervously asked his servants to prepare all kinds of congratulatory gifts for the stabilization ceremony every day, and did not allow Wanhua to go out again. Every day, except for her boudoir, she had to stay in the house and start making wedding clothes. But after waiting for nearly a month, Princess Yinghua didn't even make a sound, and Ling was embarrassed to come directly to ask why she didn't come to make a decision. Just as he was about to go to the vassal palace, Princess An Jing came back.

Listening to the gossip outside, Ling's heart became more and more uncontrollable. Finally, he couldn't sit still and ran out. When he arrived at the Duke's mansion, he was told that because the old lady's granddaughter was getting married, the old man was happy to have a wedding wine. On the way back, I hesitated for a long time and turned to Princess Yinghua's house. As a result, the building was empty. Ling's heart was even more panicked. She was really afraid that Princess An Jing was coming to see the vassal Langjun.

Princess Yinghua has only given birth to two sons, and the eldest son has married, leaving only this son. The friendship between Princess Anjing and Princess Yinghua, even if it has been decided with the Li family, it is not impossible to change her mind. It's annoying that Princess Yinghua left without saying anything. Although Ling did not announce the news of her daughter and Fan Erlang, people with deep friendship also knew it.

When Ling went to the Zhongyi Houfu as a guest, she suddenly didn't know who talked too much and asked on the spot, "Didn't you say that the matter of the Third Lady and Fan Erlang has been done? Why hasn't there been any news so far? Won't you really change your mind?" For a moment, Ling was very embarrassed and was so angry that he couldn't sit down. He found an excuse to leave quickly.

Wanhua didn't say anything, and she felt uncomfortable. Several best-in-door sisters who made friends with her also know about this, and now she is embarrassed to go out.

It was not until the wife of the vassal came home before the father of Princess Yinghua passed away, and the whole family rushed back to their hometown Dingyou overnight.

Because of the news in time, Princess Yinghua hurried back with her son and daughter without waiting for her husband to resign. Although the vassal was from his mother-in-law's family, he was not a close relative, and he did not dare to disturb the old prince and his wife. He only sent a representative to sacrifice.

Princess Yinghua is the only daughter. After her mother died early, she depended on her father. The old empress dowager was also a lonely girl who was sympathetic to her sister and was the same age as the princess that she let her enter the palace and spoiled her. However, in addition to the favored Princess Yinghua when she was alive, the old empress dowager died of illness and the princess married far away. If it hadn't been for marrying the nephew of the Duke of Fan, I'm afraid Princess Yinghua is now just an empty head.

However, Mr. Xiao is a really down-to-earth person, and his wife did not continue. She just carried the maid beside her as her aunt. After resigning from office, she followed her concubine back to Pu'an's ancestral house. Except for the Spring Festival, there was no contact between father and daughter. But this blood relationship is still there. When she heard the letter from her brother, Princess Yinghua didn't think about it and rushed back overnight.

This news made Ling feel a little better, but when he thought that once Master Xiao passed away, Fan Erlang would have to keep filial piety, and he would not be able to participate in next year's spring. If Wanhua has been decided, she must get married within 100 days after the funeral. But now it's just a verbal appointment, which is not formal. According to filial piety, Fan Erlang can't return to Beijing until next year. As for the scientific examination, if there is no Enke, it will be postponed for three years.

But these are not what Ling is careful of. There has been no message this year. Who knows what Princess Yinghua will think a year later. Although Wanhua is only 15 years old, in case they come back and others don't admit it, Ling can't do anything about it.

Maybe he was overly worried. When he got up once at night, Wanhua fell ill, which made Ling very anxious.

After raising for half a month, he was in good health, and the Zhongyi Houfu handed over the invitation. In fact, it was an apology for Ling's and Shaohua sisters to go to enjoy the chrysanthemum. Ling was angry and didn't want to go, but Wan Hua said firmly, "Why don't you go? I'm right. I'm not ashamed. What are you afraid of!" Shaohua silently gave Wanhua a thumbs up behind Ling's. After a disease, Wanhua regained his anger and was no longer as depressed as before.

After a detailed question, even Princess Anjing was invited to go, and Ling's heart was even more stubborn.

"Who knows which broken mouth is chewing on the back." Because at that time, Ling didn't go out much.

"That's their business. What does it have to do with me?" Wanhua said resolutely, "The more afraid we are, the more proud they are. They thought they were stepping on our tails and thought we were stingy. It's just that it's not decided, and it's not a withdrawal!"

"Mother, the third sister is right, and we are right." Shaohua firmly supports Wanhua's decision. In fact, she just wants to go out for a walk.

"What's right? What do you know? Princess Anjing will also go. What are we going to do?" Ling said angrily.

"We have no grudge against Princess Anjing. Why can't we go? Besides, isn't it just right for us to go to the banquet to make those who chew their tongues have nothing to say? It's better to talk to the princess, maybe we can still know the feelings of the princess!" Shaohua said dissatisfiedly.

Ling felt reasonable when she heard what her daughter said. The reason why she avoided outsiders was that she once proudly found a good family for Wanhua. If the in-laws fail, they run back to mourn without saying a word and leave a complicated answer. Ling feels that his face is lightless and is afraid that he will be asked again, so he is not willing to go out.

Originally, Ling did not intend to bring Jinhua, but she was asked to be treated equally by her husband, so she reluctantly brought her with her.

"The Hou Mansion is no better than our family. Wherever you go, you can make me more cautious. If you lose your size, I will make you look good when you go back!" Before getting out of the car, Ling also warned Jinhua fiercely and said slowly to Shaohua, "If you don't understand, just follow your third sister. Don't run around." Shaohua nodded obediently and looked at Jinhua's expectant face. Fortunately, she was Ling's daughter.

He got out of the carriage and was led into the backyard by the stewman's mother. The pavilions and pavilions looked magnificent, and even Shaohua was secretly surprised. The Li family only had such a huge mansion because of the reward of the previous emperor, but Li Ge always kept a low profile and did not like to start construction in the residence, so he roughly retained his original appearance. However, Zhongyi Houfu has been a hereditary title for five generations. Naturally, its status can't be compared with other Houfu, but the thought that it is just a Hou Mansion is so luxurious and exquisite, and the prince's mansion is even a palace.

Compared with Shaohua's motionless look, Jinhua's eyes were about to stare out. It was the first time she went out with Ling to visit Hou's house. I thought that at home, Li Xunzhuo spoiled her to buy her all kinds of beautiful jewelry. However, looking at the maid passing by, the material on her body is not inferior to those at home, and she can't help but feel ashamed.

Ling was about to take them to say good to Mrs. Zhongyi, when suddenly a girl rushed out and blocked their way.

"Wings to the second lady." The girl has a beautiful goose face, and her facial features are not exquisite, but beautiful and elegant.

"It turned out to be Yan Niang, which almost scared me." Ling patted his chest with a smile on his face.

"Second lady, you haven't been here for so long, I don't think I can see you. I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry to leave later. Lend Sanniang to me first. Zhou Yan is the only daughter of Zhongyihou. She is extremely favored at home and has a good relationship with Wanhua. These two little women are face-to-face. Wanhua pushed Shaohua up and said to Zhou Yan, "This is the five daughters and seven daughters I often tell you." Hearing this, Zhou Yan specially looked at Shaohua a few times.

Ling was relieved when she saw several girls chatting and comforted them, "Is it okay if I take them to see Mrs. Hou before I come to you?"

"No, I have a lot to say to Sanniang." Zhou Yan looked at Ling pitifully and pleaded, "The second lady will lend me the third lady, and these two little ladies. I will take them there later, and I will never lose them." Ling was amused by Zhou Yan's poor little appearance and had to nod.

There is no need to politely salute the wives. Wan Hua also looked very happy and annobbed Zhou Yan, "If there is anything, you can't wait to say. You have to pull us out to do something." Wanhua looked at the two unknown little maids behind him. He didn't know that Zhou Yan had whispered to her, but he also brought Shaohua Jinhua out.

"If I only bring you out, I'm afraid your sister will blame me to death." Zhou Yan suddenly said enviously, "You are so kind. You have two sisters this time!"

"You have a brother and a younger brother. You are the only wife in the family. The whole family has spoiled you and come to make fun of me." Wanhua said an annoy.

Zhou Yan hugged Wanhua with a smile, "How dare you? My mother said all day long that I want to exchange with you and praise you for being a decent woman. I'm just a little girl." He turned his head and smiled at Shaohua and said, "Wuniang, no wonder Qi Niang, I'm used to quarreling with your three sisters."

"Sister Yan has a good nature. Looking at her relatives, seeing Sister Yan is like an extra sister." Before Shaohua could speak, Jinhua had already spoken.

Wanhua didn't show his face, and he was secretly annoyed that Jinhua's mouth was really pleasing to people, and he suddenly guessed Zhou Yan's weakness.

Zhou Yan was surprised by her flattery to Jinhua. This made her feel comfortable. She had no sisters. Hearing Jinhua's words, she also felt that she was kind and cute. Well, you can take care of this place and don't be polite to my sister. However, I still have to borrow your third sister. You can go to the pavilion and wait for me. We'll come as soon as we go. He grabbed the passing maid and said, "Try two women to the pavilion. Don't run around."

"What the hell is so mysterious!" Wan Hua first thought that Zhou Yan just took her through the barrier in the house, but it seemed that there was really something mysterious about her acting like this.

"You will know if you go!" Zhou Yan smiled and resolutely refused to answer.
