Chapter 28: Chen Ajiao

Chen Jiao sat in the room for a long time, and when she realized the time, half of her body was numb.

Chen Jiao got up carefully from the mat, slowly moved her hands and feet, refused the support of the little maid who was on standby, and went to the courtyard to ask Aunt Wang to deliver the meal - it was so late, I don't know when Princess Guantao will return, the body of a child can't stand hunger, so let's eat first.

After dinner, Chen Jiao drank another bowl of goat's milk from the ewe that the people below specially asked her to find and raise, and she insisted on not going to sleep--if you don't care about things today, how can you sleep?This is a matter of life and destiny!

It was getting darker outside.

Chen Jiao reckoned that even if she only moved when the key was released in the palace, Princess Guantao should be back by now, could it be... the queen mother wants to stay overnight?Impossible, since when did the palace have such a rule?Also, even if you stay overnight, you should send someone back to tell her.

Just as Chen Jiao was calm on the surface and was suffering in her heart, when she was so upset, Aunt Wang came in from the outside and said that Princess Guantao called her.

As soon as Chen Jiao heard this, she immediately jumped off the bed, and she ran out in a hurry without having anything to do, which surprised Aunt Wang.

As soon as she entered the flower hall, Chen Jiao only had time to salute hastily, and she couldn't wait to throw herself on the mat beside Princess Guantao, looking at her with a pitiful expression.

"Mother, mother, what did the imperial grandmother say?"

"I'm in such a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married? How old are you this year!" Princess Guantao looked at her in a good mood and teased Chen Jiao. Seeing that she seemed to be in a hurry, she slowly took a sip of her tea. It took a long time before he said: "Your imperial grandmother has agreed to give you a marriage in a few days, and you will get married after you are old."

After Princess Guantao finished speaking, she seemed to be displeased with Chen Jiao's happy face. She moved the corners of her mouth and recovered slowly after a while. She only slowly turned her head to one side, and said, out of sight and out of mind: " Although this Li Ji is big-hearted and shallow-sighted, fortunately, Liu Rong is pretty good. If it weren't for him... hmph, then you would blame me, and I would definitely not agree to marry you to him gone."

"??"

As soon as Princess Guantao turned her head, she saw Chen Jiao's puzzled face, and suddenly felt strangely that her mood improved a lot, so she didn't intend to explain, she just put down her teacup and went back to her room to sleep.

"Mother, mother, don't leave. Tell Gillian what's going on? What's wrong with Brother Rong?" Seeing that Princess Guantao was leaving, Chen Jiao, who was at a loss, couldn't care less. Follow up.

It's a pity that Chen Jiao, who is small and weak, was pushed down on the mat by Princess Guantao's finger, and thumped for a long time.When she got up again, Princess Guantao had already gone far.

Chen Jiao stomped her feet resentfully.

"If you don't tell me, I'll just want to know!" Chen Jiao went back to the small courtyard furiously to find Aunt Wang, and asked her to ask the little maid who entered the palace with Princess Guantao today.

Little did they know that Princess Guantao on the other side was covering her lips and laughing with her confidant so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

"I really didn't expect that Gillian, who is usually the most adult, has such a small appearance today." Princess Guantao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes when she accidentally laughed.

"Master Weng is still young, you should be a bit childish." Aunt Li, who has been serving all the year round, said with a smile on her face while supporting Princess Guantao.

"Yeah, I'm still young. I'm only five years old and I'm thinking of getting married. I really don't want to be a big girl!" Princess Guantao said in a fit of anger, "What the hell did Liu Rong do to A-Jiao? What kind of medicine, it made Gillian so hard to leave him. Calling me a mother makes me very uncomfortable."

"Princess, Your Highness Weng Lord and His Highness the Crown Prince are well. The princess should be happy. In this way, when they get married in the future, they will naturally have a peaceful and beautiful life." Aunt Li carefully looked at Princess Guantao's expression and slowly persuaded her.

"...That's right, as long as my A-Jiao is doing well, the rest is not that important. I don't even care about that woman Li Ji, no matter how annoying she is." Guantao nodded and said.

"Madame Li Ji came from a humble background, presumably she lacks knowledge, so why should the princess be as knowledgeable as her?" Aunt Li persuaded again.

"That's the reason." Princess Guantao nodded and stepped into the room.

On the other side, Chen Jiao, who was sitting on the bed waiting, also reminded herself many times not to fall asleep, and finally waited for Aunt Wang who had finished inquiring about the news.

After Aunt Wang finished her report, Chen Jiao, who was completely ill from the shock, lay on the bed, sorting out the whole process with a blank expression.

It turned out that when Princess Guantao entered the palace, she immediately went to see the Queen Mother Dou.Of course, she didn't ask for a marriage right away, but satirized Li Ji in various ways one after another -- of course, she was so rude, not because of the unique way of speaking of the big man, but because of herself. I'm really not very willing, and I'm not very willing.

Fortunately, knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Empress Dowager Dou understood what Princess Guantao said so much, but he just didn't get to the point.

"I think Gillian said something to you?" Empress Dowager Dou smiled slightly and said, "The Ai family doesn't know you yet. If you really can't see Li Ji in every possible way, you would have forgotten her to the horizon long ago. You can't wait to see her forever." If we don't see each other again, why would you go to the palace to complain at Ai's house? Tell me, what's going on?"

"...that's what happened." Princess Guantao, who was guessed by her mother, was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly told the whole story, and also emphasized Li Ji's arrogance and Gillian's simplicity, and finally added more emphasis. One sentence: "...If it wasn't for Gillian's determination, Erchen would never compromise!"

Empress Dowager Dou glanced at Princess Guantao, who clearly loved her daughter so much but insisted on trying to save face, she pretended not to see her daughter's rare childishness, and finally let go after a long time: "Okay, Aijia knows, since Gillian likes it , as long as the crown prince has no objection, the Ai family will be the master."

As he said that, he asked the aunt in charge who was serving beside him to invite the prince.

Liu Rong arrived soon.

Empress Dowager Dou thought about it for a while, and said: "Rong Er, your aunt came into the palace today to discuss your marriage with A-Jiao, but your mother doesn't like A-Jiao, so the oral agreement at the beginning is invalidated. Let me tell you about the matter, so that you can have a count in your heart."

Hearing what her mother said, and seeing Liu Rong's bewildered expression, Princess Guantao suddenly realized, and immediately complained half-truthfully: "Rong'er, aunt knows that you and Gillian have been playing together since childhood." Together, the relationship is really extraordinary, but it's a pity that your mother doesn't like her. You need to know that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been extremely troublesome, but my aunt only has a sharp heart like Gillian, how can she be willing to make her suffer after marriage? , you and A-Jiao have to be more careful in the future, don't get too close, so as not to damage A-Jiao's reputation, but it will not be beautiful." As she spoke, Princess Guantao's tone became slightly tough again.

"I beg the emperor's grandmother and aunt to be happy!" Liu Rong also saw that, if he didn't make a statement today, I'm afraid Gillian will really marry someone else!So he hurriedly said: "Rong'er only liked A-Jiao since he was a child, and never wanted to marry another woman. I also begged the emperor's grandmother and aunt not to marry A-Jiao to anyone else."

"But your mother..." Princess Guantao was quite satisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Rong'er feels that Rong'er and Gillian have had a marriage agreement since they were young." Liu Rong, who has always been kind and cowardly, became tough in the face of his marriage: "Whether mother likes it or not, sincerity is the most important thing. If the mother refuses to keep her word, it will inevitably be criticized by others, and Rong'er can only bear it on behalf of her mother. Moreover, a person without faith is unbearable to be the prince of a country, Rong'er will take the initiative to report to the emperor, requesting that Rong'er be removed from the throne, and choose another worthy person."

"Rong'er!" Li Ji's voice came from outside the door.

It turned out that Li Ji heard that Liu Rong was called by Queen Mother Dou, but Princess Guantao was also at Queen Mother Dou's place, so her son was bullied, so she hurried over, but she just heard such a conversation.

After hastily saluting Queen Dowager Dou, Li Ji hurriedly said to Liu Rong: "You can no longer say that you don't want to be the crown prince! You are the eldest son of the emperor, and you are the crown prince who was appointed by the emperor's golden words. How can you say such a thing?" ?”

"An untrustworthy person, why is he the heir of a country?" Liu Rong knelt down calmly, kowtowed to Li Ji, and said, "Mother, please forgive me."

"You... don't you just want to marry Gillian? But...but..." Li Ji hated, flicked her sleeves and turned to Empress Dowager Dou and said, "It's not that I don't like Gillian, it's that I'm honored." Er and Gillian are six years apart. When Rong Er is 15 years old and it is time for her big wedding, Gillian will only be nine years old, which is too young. And when Ah Jiao is 15 years old, Rong Er will be 21. It's really not good enough for your age."

"Since that's the case, then why did you agree to marry these two children with me in the first place? Could it be that you can't entertain our mother and daughter!" Princess Guantao, who couldn't hold back her composure, made the first statement.

"At that time... At that time, I just saw that Gillian was cute and cute, so I just joked about it. I thought the princess was just saying it casually, but who knows, she took it seriously." Li Ji defended in a low voice, but it aroused Princess Guantao's even bigger anger. anger.

"Heh, you broke your promise, so is it still my fault?"

"This……"

"Mother!" Liu Rong hurriedly interrupted the two of them, kowtowed again, and said, "My son only loves Gillian, not to mention just getting married at the age of 20, even at the age of 30, the son can wait, please mother !"

"Rong'er, why are you so..."

Li Ji wanted to persuade her, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother Dou who had been watching for a long time: "Okay, since the two young ones are in love with each other, how can the mother stop it? This matter is decided by the family." After a few days, the Ai family will make a decree that Gillian and Ji will get married in the future. This is settled. It's getting late now, you all go back, the Ai family will also rest."

Princess Guantao was quite satisfied with the result, so she simply saluted and left.

"This..." The corners of Li Ji's mouth twitched, but in the end she still didn't speak, and silently retreated after paying her respects.

Liu Rong, on the other hand, was full of the words "the two love each other", and for a while he seemed to be so happy that he didn't know anything.

The author has something to say:

I did a special search and found that both Gillian and Liu Che were born in 156 BC, while Liu Rong's date of birth is unknown, but he died in 148 BC. The cause of death was suicide by occupying the prison.

The author has calculated that a child of a certain age will definitely not have the idea or opportunity to "occupy land", so Liu Rong must be at least 15 at that time, right?In 148 BC, Gillian was only 8 years old, and Liu Rongshao said that she was 7 years older than Gillian. After thinking about it, the author chose the age difference of 6 years old.
