After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Rou suddenly asked Fu Rong to come over.
Fu Rong was quite surprised. Although Concubine Rou had a good relationship with her, she never took the initiative to invite her.
Fu Rong took the children to Fengyi Palace first and said to his mother-in-law: "Mom, Concubine Rou invites me to have tea, Axuan and Apei will ask her to watch first." Empress Cui didn't like to hear her calling her mother to Xu Jin, so the couple continued to use the old name, and calling her mother was indeed more intimate.
Queen Cui looked up at her, and after a little stunned, she understood, and smiled and said, "Go, I'm here, you can sit for a while and it's okay."
Fu Rong asked this question in fact, a little bit of temptation. If Concubine Rou had something big to come to her, the mother-in-law would not have known it. Now that the mother-in-law answered like this, she obviously guessed what Concubine Rou was going to say, or if she would not cause trouble even if she listened.
Reassured, Fu Rong led Xu Lingmeixiang over.
Concubine Rou likes to laugh, and doesn't like to talk around. When she asked about the two sisters, she directly told Fu Rong, "Your father wants to choose a prince consort for Fuhui, have you heard of the Crown Princess?"
Fu Rong nodded, "Well, I heard from my mother that someone has chosen the Empress?"
She and Xu Jin were both living outside the palace before and were more familiar with the children in the capital. Could Concubine Rou want to ask her to ask? That's true, Fu Rong is of course willing to help. The second princess is well-behaved and sensible, and she helped her once. Fu Rong really treats her as her sister.
Concubine Rou smiled bitterly, looked out the window and sighed, "The candidates are still with your father. He must be good at all. I have no worries about it. Your father wants Fuhui to see him with his own eyes. Fuhui refused to say anything, and he said he would not marry her if he picks her. Fuhui has never worried us so much. Your father is reluctant to force her and asked me to ask Fuhui what he thought, but Fuhui doesn't like to listen to my advice. She covered her ears as soon as I spoke. I really have no choice but to ask you to help me. Fuhui has always kissed you, and you are a little older. The Crown Princess has helped me ask if I have time?"
Fu Rong smiled, "Okay, I'm curious about what my sister is thinking. Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely find a way to make her say, but if my sister is stern, I won't even say it, Empress, don't blame me."
Concubine Rou smiled and shook her head.
Fu Rong continued to sit for a while, said goodbye and left, and sent someone to invite the second princess to the East Palace in the afternoon.
The second princess likes children the most. She got Axuan and Apei’s two cute little nieces, and ran here every few days. When she heard that Axuan could stand up by helping someone, she rushed over immediately.
Axuan recognized her aunt, put down the red silk ball in her hand, and crawled towards the edge of the couch.
The second princess happily hugged the little girl, and smiled and showed a sweet dimples on the corner of her mouth. Axuan was the most naughty. Her father covered her nose with a veil and wanted to grab the veil. Now she saw a round pit in the corner of her aunt's mouth, and she also touched it curiously. Because she was quick, Fu Rong's flower den was snatched by Axuan many times, especially after the little girl could crawl. Fu Rong and her two daughters didn't wear flower den when they were resting, for fear that Axuan would secretly snatch it down and stuff it into her mouth when she was asleep.
Fu Rong looked around for a while and signaled the maids to go down with his eyes.
After Axuan was acting cute with her aunt, she went to play with her sister again. The two little sisters seemed to be able to understand each other's words. Sometimes the sister whispered a few words in a vague way, and then the sister responded a few words, making the second princess laugh constantly.
Fu Rong slowly whispered to her: "I went to my mother's side to pay my respects in the morning. When I heard Concubine Rou and her mother mentioned what candidates they would choose. As soon as I entered, they wouldn't tell me. It was obvious that there was a secret that I wanted to hide from me. Do you know?"
The second princess is not an ordinary girl, she is easy to fool and has a delicate heart. She looked at Fu Rong, her smile disappeared, and stood on the ground and threatened: "My mother asked the fourth sister-in-law, right? The fourth sister-in-law said another word, I won't come in the future."
This guy has a bad temper, which is almost the same as Fu Xuan at the beginning.
Fu Rong couldn't deal with her sister who had been rigid since childhood. She was still a little confident in coaxing the second princess, the good girl, and she didn't go down to stop her. She still sat on the couch and looked at her: "I just said that my sister just showed her face like this, which really made me feel disappointed. Concubine Rou said you are close to me, my sister-in-law, and I also feel this way. I didn't expect that in my heart, I was just an ordinary sister-in-law in my heart, so I didn't want to tell me a word."
The second princess instinctively defended: "No, I am just, I just don't want to get married..."
"Why don't you want to marry? There must be a reason." Fu Rong looked at her with cares, "Sister, don't be bored if you have any worries. Whether you treat me as your sister or as your sister, tell me any difficulties. Look at me, there are sisters above and below. If you have troubles, it will be much easier to tell your sisters."
The second princess bit her lip, lowered her head and sat back on the edge of the couch, silently speaking.
Fu Rong leaned over, held her hand, and asked tentatively: "I can't bear to leave my father? But now my father just wants to choose a prince consort for you, and he doesn't get married immediately. My sister is so young, let alone my father, I can't bear to leave me. Once I get married, it's not too late to marry again in two or three years."
What Emperor Jiahe hopes is to choose a good family for his daughter, and it is enough to be at ease.
The second princess pursed her lips.
Fu Rong's heart moved, and for some reason he thought that on the Lantern Festival that year, the twelve-year-old girl had begged her to arrange for her to talk to her brother alone.
"It's still my sister, is there someone I like?" Fu Rong pulled the second princess to her side. Seeing the little girl's eyes lit up first and then dimmed soon. Fu Rong suddenly didn't know what kind of answer to expect.
What if the person in the second princess’s heart is really an older brother?
This is the princess. Emperor Jiahe personally chose the son-in-law for his daughter. As long as the second princess said that the person she liked was her brother, based on Emperor Jiahe's love for his daughter and Emperor Jiahe's physical condition, he would definitely agree to his daughter's request. In ordinary families, this is a bit like a change of kiss, but the royal family is the most rules and actually does not take the rules seriously. His brother is a handsome talent. Emperor Jiahe really gives a marriage, so how can his brother refuse?
No matter how hard Fu Rong doesn't understand the court, he knows that a man will have no chance to make a contribution and make achievements. Princess Yongning's husband, Duke Qing, is an example.
Fu Rong really hoped that the second princess would marry her lover, but she didn't want her brother to be a free agent because of the likes of a princess. From now on, she could only take a free agent. Her brother was so good at kung fu and was young and promising. It would be fine if he was willing to marry the second princess, but Fu Rong didn't see that his brother was interested in the second princess in recent years. She agreed to help the second princess at that time, mainly because she felt that the second princess was young, and she wanted to be grateful to her brother because she thought it might not be big. Afterwards, Fu Rong was in the mood to tease her brother, but at this time it seemed that the second princess...
Just as he was worried, the second princess suddenly spoke: "The fourth sister-in-law misunderstood. I really don't want to marry. If something happened to my father, I will marry again in three years. My father is fine, so I don't have to rush to marry. Instead of forcing a noble child to wait for me for three years now, why not wait until three years before choosing? My father is worried that I will not marry a good husband in the future. I am not worried because I know that my fourth sister-in-law and my fourth brother love me, but my fourth sister-in-law said, right?"
The second princess raised her head and smiled and acted coquettishly at Fu Rong.
But that smile made Fu Rong feel sad.
She could see that the second princess was not telling the truth.
The second princess also knew that she had lie.
She had someone she liked. Three years ago, he rescued her from the fire regardless of his life. He stood in the moonlight and looked at her with a smile. She was as handsome as a fairy, and she liked him, even if he only regarded her as a child.
After being rejected, the second princess had given up at that time, but after three years, she found that she still had expectations in her heart. Every time she met by chance in the palace, she would be secretly happy because of that quick glance. Every time she saw the fourth sister-in-law, she did not dare to ask openly, but just waited with her heart, hoping to hear his news. When she heard that he had not married yet, she would breathe a sigh of relief, and then worry and continue to look forward to getting his news.
She liked him very much, but she wouldn't force him to marry him.
