six years later
Spring is in full bloom, and the flowering branches are competing to bloom, and the new green leaves of the willows are everywhere, bringing some new colors to the palace.Begonia spring is as deep as the sea, and the delicate and delicate Begonia flowers are swaying, attracting many concubines to admire them.
Seeing the sensuality of spring, the emperor made an order to invite unmarried women and unmarried men from various families to the crabapple feast.Regardless of men and women, the official ranks of each family are above the third rank, and the meaning is self-evident.
Wen Qin beside the emperor, and the fourth, sixth, and seventh princes in the palace are all at a good age for marriage. This Spring Banquet of Begonias is fake, but the gift of marriage is real.
Not only the wives of the various families, but even the officials are starting to worry about this spring banquet. If they are lucky enough to become relatives of the emperor, wouldn't they be able to make a fortune!
Many women in the boudoir are even more excited. Mr. Wen and the other princes are all handsome and occupy high positions. If they really marry into the royal family in the future, it will be the best.I selected good materials early on to make new clothes, and selected and matched all kinds of novel jewelry.Looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu also cared very much, and chose a satisfied woman early.It was just that the fourth prince was smiling, but this smile made Concubine Hui somewhat apprehensive and did not dare to interfere.And the Seventh Prince is also used to being arrogant and domineering, and Concubine Shu is powerless.
On the contrary, it was Wen Qin who kept being pointed out by the emperor, asking him to see if there was anything he liked.
After taking the post, the Fourth Prince didn't care much, and went to the Begonia Spring Banquet with Shen Ling.As soon as he walked outside the garden, he met the seventh prince who was full of impatience. Seeing that the fourth prince also came over, the seventh prince put away the impatience on his face, and said in a flat voice, "Fourth brother."
"Seventh brother." The Fourth Prince smiled lightly, "I heard that Concubine Shu Gui called Cousin Liu to Chengde Hall. You must have a lot to talk about when you meet each other, right?"
The Seventh Prince was upset about this matter, Concubine Shu Gui took a fancy to Liu Yunfu, the daughter of the Liu family, and after some calculations, this Liu Yunfu was still his cousin.Concubine Shu Gui had always wanted to get closer, but seeing that the Seventh Prince was not happy, she let Liu Yunfu enter the palace in her own name.
At this time, when the fourth prince mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously looked at the people around the fourth prince.Seeing that only Shen Ling was standing on one side, he felt relieved for no reason.
"I didn't meet her, it's because my concubine misses her." The Seventh Prince didn't want to bring up this topic.
The fourth prince smiled, "Concubine Shu Gui has been worrying about the seventh brother, and the seventh brother should not disappoint Concubine Shu Gui's kindness."
The seventh prince disdainful, "Fourth brother, let's think about his own affairs first."
For some reason, after the engagement of the fourth prince, the daughter of the family who made the engagement was always ill. Many famous doctors said that she would not live long, but after breaking off the engagement with the fourth prince, she became energetic again. Terrified, he hesitated a little more about the marriage of the Fourth Prince.
I found a prestigious Taoist priest to take a look. The Taoist said that the fourth prince was destined to be incompatible with the woman, so it is not suitable for marriage for the time being, and he has to wait for someone who is destined.
Concubine Hui couldn't believe it, but every time she fell in love with a girl, the other girl would get seriously ill, and in the end she had to believe it.
The two groups met and entered the Begonia Garden together.
Several people in the garden had already arrived, the woman smiled shyly and said something, she couldn't stop looking at one place.
The fourth prince squinted his eyes halfway, looking at the person standing beside the crabapple flower, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.
The garden is three parts spring and seven parts beautiful. The man was wearing a water-red thin shirt embroidered with auspicious red birds, standing under the crabapple tree, picking a branch of crabapple with one hand.The big and big crabapple flowers are delicate and dazzling, and each flower is trying its best to exaggerate the feeling of spring, but this person standing next to the crabapple flowers is not compared at all, on the contrary, he is a bit more coquettish than the crabapple flowers.
Seeing that the fourth prince and Shen Ling had arrived, he turned his head slightly and smiled, his dark eyes were filled with lingering light, which was so dazzling that it made people's hearts flutter.The slightly upturned arc at the end of the eyes when he smiles is just right, just right enough to make one's heart itch.
He stepped over the charming crabapple branches and walked over, casually pinching a crabapple flower in his hand, with a natural elegance.The Seventh Prince's eyes flickered as he watched.
This person has really grown up, his appearance is beautiful, elegant and elegant, and people really can't take their eyes off it.
"You guys are finally here. The girls from each family have been waiting for a long time." Wen Qin teased.
The fourth prince chuckled, "Naughty, the girl is just here for the banquet." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but straighten Wen Qin's neckline, and squeezed his shoulder.
Seeing the intimate attitude of the fourth prince, the Seventh Prince at the side was completely fascinated and turned his head to the side.
Wen Qin didn't pay attention at first, but noticed the seventh prince's stiff and deliberate movements at a glance, and walked forward with a smile, "The seventh prince compares height with me, you and I are the same age, and when we were young, we always laughed at me for being short." Completely bully him.
The seventh prince was stiff all over, and retreated to the side, but was helplessly held back by Wen Qin, his face became hot.Wen Qin was standing in front of him, blinking his eyes to compare his height with him, it was too close.
"I'm a little shorter than you, and I'll catch up to you soon." Taking advantage of his confusion, Wen Qin put the crabapple flower on his bun with one hand, and then withdrew his hand with a smirk. .
"Hmph." The Seventh Prince held his troublesome hand, didn't say anything, but thought he was a little cute in his heart.
When Wen Qin withdrew his hand, everyone was stunned when they saw the Seventh Prince, and then slightly lowered their heads to hold back their laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" The Seventh Prince glanced at Zhao Yingzhi who was beside him for no reason, and the crabapple flowers on his head trembled with his movements, which was very eye-catching.
Zhao Yingzhi touched her nose and said nothing, pretending not to see it.
"Okay, let's go and sit down there too." Wen Qin stepped forward and pulled his arm, smiling with his eyes bent.
The Seventh Prince didn't pay attention to this matter immediately, and looked over at that seat.
Several people sat down, the fourth prince was on Wen Qin's left side, and the seventh prince was on the right side. The three of them sitting together were really outstanding. Many girls couldn't help but look at them with blushing faces and no thoughts.
"Your Highness, they are all looking at you." Wen Qin whispered to the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince blushed immediately, "Look at what I do!"
"Look at you...you are more charming than flowers..." Wen Qin thought for a while.
"..." The fourth prince was drinking tea, coughed a few times when he heard this, and smiled even deeper after hearing this.Glancing at Wen Qin, then at the group of shy and timid girls, he thought to himself, where are they looking at Xuan Che...
For some reason, after the Seventh Prince stopped provoking Wen Qin in the past few years, the two of them got along much more harmoniously. Instead, with the support of the emperor, it was probably Wen Qin who provoked Xuan Che.
Seeing that Wen Qin looked at the girl over there with some novelty in his eyes, the fourth prince immediately said to Wen Qin, "Qinqin, I'm going to leave the mansion this month. When you have time, you can go and have a look, please." designed by a master."
As expected, Wen Qin's thoughts were all on what the fourth prince said, and he was happy for the fourth prince in his heart, "His Royal Highness is leaving the palace? That is indeed a good thing."
The prince will be crowned king when he leaves the palace, and he can also have his own territory.
"If you knew where it was, you might be happier." The fourth prince smiled lightly.
"Where?" Wen Qin wondered, "Isn't it in the capital?"
"It's next door to the Wen residence." The fourth prince said.
Wen Qin really didn't expect it, and said pleasantly, "Can you still be a neighbor in the future?"
The Seventh Prince frowned slightly, "You are so young, why have you already considered going out of the palace? Don't you want to be like the third brother? Which girl do you like and leave the palace early to get married?"
"I'm different from you." Wen Qin said, "I'm a foreigner, so I couldn't stay after the age of 16." He still firmly remembered what Mr. Xiao said when he was seven years old, he could leave the palace after the age of 16, Become the master of Wenfu.
He has been secretly preparing for these years, and has hidden a lot of treasures. There is no need to worry about the glory and wealth of the rest of his life~ Now that the fourth prince lives next door, the dragon aura is enveloped in all directions, so there is no need to worry!
Wen Qin was thinking about the small calculations in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and he began to look forward to a bright future.
But the Seventh Prince frowned slightly, he could still see him occasionally in the palace, but there was no way to meet him outside the palace, and he suddenly felt a little bad.
Seeing Wen Qin like this, the fourth prince knew in his heart that he had already made plans, and the smile in his eyes was a little bit more. He wanted to touch his head like he did when he was a child, but it was no longer appropriate, and he felt a little regretful.
Just as he was talking, Zhang Fu announced, and the emperor came in.Everyone stood up and saluted with respect.
Looking at the crowd, and then at Wen Qin who was standing among the crowd, the emperor felt a little proud that this was a child he raised with his own hands, and he was so outstanding, standing so eye-catching among the crowd.
"Sit down," said the emperor.
Everyone sat back in their seats respectfully, not daring to move their chopsticks casually.
"Today is specially reserved for you young people. I just came to take a look, so there is no need to be formal." The emperor was in a good mood, and he glanced casually, and saw a crabapple flower on the seventh prince's head, a little puzzled , and said, "Xuanche today..." Before he could speak, he saw Wen Qin raised his head and winked at him, obviously not wanting him to expose it.The emperor laughed, this little rascal...
"Xuan Che is very pretty today." The emperor suppressed a smile, his face pale.
The Seventh Prince didn't understand, but he saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your compliment." The crabapple flower on his head was still trembling.
Satisfied, Wen Qin blinked and took a sip of tea.
The emperor's eyes fell on him, seeing that he had an innocent face, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, he was really a dishonest little guy.
They didn't stay for too long, this place was for them to get along, and the emperor just glanced casually and left with Zhang Fu.The rest of the people felt a little less stressed and began to get lively.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancing girls came in one after another, with soft waists and beautiful faces.
Everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing, gradually relaxed their mood, toasted each other and admired the flowers.
The emperor didn't go very far. He stood on a high pavilion and watched from afar. When he saw a group of young faces, he sighed unconsciously, "Am I getting old?"
"Your Majesty is 40 years old. How can you be old?" Zhang Fu said with a smile, "Besides, is there anyone in this world who is more handsome than Your Majesty?"
The emperor didn't speak, but just smiled lightly.
Zhang Fu did not lie. The 40-year-old emperor is still imposing and imposing, and his maturity and calmness accumulated over time makes him even more attractive.
"A few years ago, they were a group of children, but today they are already talking about marriage." The emperor felt incredible, and also expressed some emotion, "I thought it would take a few years for them to grow up."
Zhang Fu knew who he was talking about, and there was only Wen Qin, and soon it would be Wen Qin's 16th birthday, and when he turned 16, he could get married.
"Tell me, what about Liu Yunfu, the youngest daughter of the Liu family?" The emperor thought for a while.
"Liu Taiwei's granddaughter, she is naturally very educated. It's just..." Zhang Fu smiled, "I heard that Concubine Shu also intends to help the Seventh Prince arrange this marriage."
The emperor frowned slightly, "Concubine Shu naturally wants to make plans for Xuan Che."
"Your Majesty, Shen Rong, the younger sister of Shen's companion, is lively and cheerful, and she is very suitable for Mr. Wen." Zhang Fu laughed.
The emperor glanced at Shen Rong in the Begonia Garden, and shook his head, "It's too noisy, it's not suitable."
"What about Jiang Yue, the second daughter of Prime Minister Jiang's family?" Zhang Fu asked cautiously again. "Jiang Yue has a gentle personality, a virtuous and gentle person who went out of Beijing."
"Where is it?" The emperor glanced at it.
Zhang Fu pointed, and the emperor vetoed it with just one glance, "This appearance is too ordinary, how can it be worthy of Qinqin?"
"This..." Zhang Fu hesitated a little, and then his eyes lit up, "Song Liansheng, the youngest daughter of the Song family, has a beautiful face, but she is the most beautiful woman in Beijing!"
The emperor took a few critical glances, "You are a monster, she looks a bit seductive, and Qinqin will be led astray by her."
"..." Zhang Fu wiped off his cold sweat, feeling that it was really difficult to serve.
After that, the emperor picked a few more people, but none of them were very satisfied. Either he disliked the other party's unsuitable appearance, or he disliked the other party's low status, or he felt that the woman looked very unattractive at first glance.In short, I am not satisfied at all.
"Forget it, there is no one in Beijing who is worthy of me." The emperor sighed, "After all, I taught it myself, both in appearance and personality."
"..." Zhang Fu pretended not to hear.
The atmosphere in the Begonia Garden was already very harmonious. A woman brought a wine glass and went up to toast Wen Qin. Seeing him smiling and toasting, she blushed and wanted to strike up a conversation with him in a soft voice.
It's just that the Seventh Prince who was helplessly on the side was too disruptive to the atmosphere, and his cold-eyed look was really disappointing. Many girls were scared away by his eyes.
Wen Qin didn't care, just smiled and watched the singing and dancing in the garden.
Seeing Wen Qin looking engrossed, the Seventh Prince Fox asked, "Did you fall in love with a dancer? Why are you so focused? I haven't seen you so absorbed in banquets before."
As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince on the side raised his head to look at Wen Qin with some concern, and followed his gaze towards the group of dancing girls.Seeing that there were indeed people with outstanding looks, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"I don't want to see the dancing girl, but should I want to see you?" Wen Qin raised his eyebrows.
The Seventh Prince was stunned, and a little annoyed, "You, you, you..." The crabapple flowers on his head trembled with his angry chest.
"Why don't you play a game?" A lady stood up and smiled, "Drumming and passing flowers is popular these days. If the flowers stop at someone's place, you can perform a talent."
After saying this, many noble ladies are eager to try, if they show their talents well, maybe they can attract someone's attention.They all agreed with a smile.
But the lady who made the suggestion kept looking at Wen Qin, just wanting to know what Wen Qin meant.Seeing that the people around were so enthusiastic, Wen Qin nodded.The lady just laughed.
Everyone could see that this lady was interested in Wen Qin.
The noble girl's name is Song Liansheng. She not only has a prominent family background, but also has a bright and beautiful face with beautiful eyes. Many people in Beijing like her.She despised no one for such a beauty, but Wen Qin was the only one she fell in love with. Not only was she passionate, she kept her eyes on Wen Qin, and she kept looking for opportunities to strike up a conversation with him.
Quite a few people looked at Wen Qin enviously, even if he was deeply favored, he also had a face that overwhelmed everyone, causing a group of girls to glance at him secretly.What a blessing.
The eunuch at the side brought the hydrangea and handed it to the fourth prince respectfully.With the sound of a thick drum, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows and passed the hydrangea to Wen Qin.
The hydrangea was passed down one by one, and when it was passed to the women, many noble girls exclaimed and passed the hydrangea back and forth with a smile. Finally, the drum stopped suddenly, and the hydrangea fell into the hands of a woman in green clothes.The woman blushed, took the hydrangea and went forward to salute.
"I'm showing my ugliness." She made a painting called "Slight Rain in the Spring Mountains"
The writing is exquisite and the artistic conception is beautiful, and many people are amazed after reading it.Only the fourth prince looked at it calmly, and only asked Wen Qin to look at it twice before passing it on to the seventh prince.
In this painting, there is a person holding an umbrella standing vaguely under a tree. The person is wearing a water-red thin shirt, and he can be recognized at a glance.In this capital, only Wen Qin loves water red the most, and occasionally rides his horse back to the palace outside the city, and his fresh clothes and angry horses are particularly outstanding.It's just that the painting is very secretive, and it's hard to see if you don't look carefully.
Seeing that Wen Qin didn't notice anything, the woman was slightly regretful.
What she painted was the scene she saw when she went up the mountain to pray for blessings, and then passed him by, but he didn't seem to remember it at all.The faint daughter-in-law was a little heartbroken, and the woman silently collected the painting without further words.
Song Liansheng looked at the painting, looked at her like this, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "She's just a concubine, and she's also thinking about Mr. Wen, she really doesn't know what's good or bad."
The woman was silent.
Shu Yu, who was passing by holding the hip flask, paused, glanced at the beautiful Song Liansheng, then lowered his head and walked forward holding the hip flask.Poured the wine in the jug to Wen Qin, and stood behind Wen Qin silently, with some thought in his eyes.
What Wen Qin drank was not wine at all, but the white water prepared for showering, and he was not drunk at the moment.One after another, several women went to perform, and many young people couldn't take their eyes off them, full of admiration.
The Seventh Prince beside him didn't care, drank a glass of wine, unintentionally touched his bun, was startled, and casually pulled the crabapple flowers off his head.The Seventh Prince's face turned green when he thought he had been holding on to this for so long, "Wen Qin!"
No wonder everyone bowed their heads and held back their laughter when they saw him, even the emperor couldn't help but joke, when did he wear such a thing on his head!
Wen Qin blinked and smiled, "Wearing flowers in this life will be beautiful in the next life."
"Unreasonable!" The seventh prince really loves and hates, but seeing Wen Qin's serious and innocent appearance, there is nothing he can do.I had no choice but to hold this crabapple flower and not throw it away.
"Host, according to the plot, Song Liansheng will be the empress." 520 eats melons, a little happy, "She likes the fourth prince and has been pursuing the fourth prince. Later, the emperor gave her a marriage."
Wen Qin couldn't help but look at Song Liansheng twice more, "She's really pretty."
"But I don't know why, she doesn't seem to like the Fourth Prince anymore." 520 scratched his head, "A woman's mind really fluctuates."
Wen Qin laughed, then stood up and went out for a walk with 520 in his arms. Song Liansheng, who was sitting next to him, saw him go out, and quietly chased him out.
Begonias bloom enchantingly, and the clusters are very beautiful.No matter how many times Wen Qin has seen it, he is still amazed.Not long after he left, footsteps came from behind him, and he turned his head to meet Song Liansheng's face,
"Miss Song." Wen Qin smiled politely, then wanted to leave but was stopped by her.
"Mr. Wen." Song Liansheng looked at his face with some fascination. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly chased after him, "I know that His Majesty intends to choose a wife for you at this Begonia Spring Banquet. Do you have someone in mind?"
"No." Wen Qin said.
Song Liansheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad, her face flushed slightly, "Mr. Wen..." Some words could not be said, her beautiful eyes were full of water, shyly shoved the handkerchief into his hand, then turned around and walked away. ran away.
Shu Yu was waiting at the side, seeing Song Liansheng so bold, his face changed.After recovering his complexion, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Wen Qin, "Master, let me handle it."
Wen Qin was also a little difficult to deal with, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shu Yu said, and threw the handkerchief into her hand.
The emperor who witnessed the whole process on the tall pavilion not far away had an even more ugly expression, "I said that Song Liansheng from the Song family is so demon-like that he took the initiative to hook up with Qinqin!"
"This...Miss Song is a bit bold." Zhang Fu smiled, "you are always so enthusiastic..."
"Let Song Yilou teach his daughter well, and don't come to the court for half a month." The emperor frowned.
This is considered an extremely serious treatment, Zhang Fu was surprised, "Yes!"
***
After the Spring Banquet, several families asked the emperor to give them marriages, and they made several good marriages.However, none of the princes and Wen Qin had any news.
Wen Qin didn't pay attention to these things in recent days. Two days ago, the four princes were named Prince Shen and given a mansion.When Wen Qin came to visit with a gift, he was attracted by the elaborate design of the mansion, and began to wonder how the Wen mansion should be renovated.
The fourth prince took his own blueprints for him to learn from, and invited the artisans who designed the courtyard to design according to his needs, and selected a lot of good materials. Wen Qin immediately became interested in this matter, and ran to Wenfu all day, I want to see how my mansion is being renovated.
The Wen Mansion has been uninhabited for nearly ten years, and it is extremely barren. The style designed by this craftsman is exactly the type Wen Qin likes.
Knowing that Wen Qin was afraid of the cold, he specially designed the earth dragon and kang to prevent the cold.The garden was also designed with vines for shade and swings. Wen Qin was very happy.
Unlike living in the palace, when he thought that all of this was done according to his own thoughts, Wen Qin suddenly felt a sense of joy in decorating a new house. He ran here all day with 520 feet that did not touch the ground, watching the progress during the day and watching the progress at night. She just lived in the fourth prince's mansion, and she didn't see anyone for several days.
The emperor naturally found out too. Hearing that Wen Qin was renovating the Wen mansion, his face turned pale. Hearing that the dark guard said that the fourth prince had put in a lot of effort, he even smiled a bit. "Call Xuan Zhan into the palace."
Although the fourth prince didn't know what was going on, he became cautious when he saw that the eunuch who delivered the decree was so cautious.
When he arrived at the imperial study room, the emperor smiled lightly, "I heard that you have contributed a lot to the renovation of the Wen Mansion?"
"I dare not take the credit, it's Qinqin himself who guards day and night." The fourth prince said.
The porcelain cup containing hot tea fell in front of him, the hot tea splashed all over the floor, and even a few drops fell on his feet.
"Don't dare?" The emperor looked unpredictable, "I think you are very bold."
Spring is in full bloom, and the flowering branches are competing to bloom, and the new green leaves of the willows are everywhere, bringing some new colors to the palace.Begonia spring is as deep as the sea, and the delicate and delicate Begonia flowers are swaying, attracting many concubines to admire them.

"I'm different from you." Wen Qin said, "I'm a foreigner, so I couldn't stay after the age of 16." He still firmly remembered what Mr. Xiao said when he was seven years old, he could leave the palace after the age of 16, Become the master of Wenfu.
He has been secretly preparing for these years, and has hidden a lot of treasures. There is no need to worry about the glory and wealth of the rest of his life~ Now that the fourth prince lives next door, the dragon aura is enveloped in all directions, so there is no need to worry!
Wen Qin was thinking about the small calculations in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and he began to look forward to a bright future.
But the Seventh Prince frowned slightly, he could still see him occasionally in the palace, but there was no way to meet him outside the palace, and he suddenly felt a little bad.
Seeing Wen Qin like this, the fourth prince knew in his heart that he had already made plans, and the smile in his eyes was a little bit more. He wanted to touch his head like he did when he was a child, but it was no longer appropriate, and he felt a little regretful.
Just as he was talking, Zhang Fu announced, and the emperor came in.Everyone stood up and saluted with respect.
Looking at the crowd, and then at Wen Qin who was standing among the crowd, the emperor felt a little proud that this was a child he raised with his own hands, and he was so outstanding, standing so eye-catching among the crowd.
"Sit down," said the emperor.
Everyone sat back in their seats respectfully, not daring to move their chopsticks casually.
"Today is specially reserved for you young people. I just came to take a look, so there is no need to be formal." The emperor was in a good mood, and he glanced casually, and saw a crabapple flower on the seventh prince's head, a little puzzled , and said, "Xuanche today..." Before he could speak, he saw Wen Qin raised his head and winked at him, obviously not wanting him to expose it.The emperor laughed, this little rascal...
"Xuan Che is very pretty today." The emperor suppressed a smile, his face pale.
The Seventh Prince didn't understand, but he saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your compliment." The crabapple flower on his head was still trembling.
Satisfied, Wen Qin blinked and took a sip of tea.
The emperor's eyes fell on him, seeing that he had an innocent face, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, he was really a dishonest little guy.
They didn't stay for too long, this place was for them to get along, and the emperor just glanced casually and left with Zhang Fu.The rest of the people felt a little less stressed and began to get lively.
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and the dancing girls came in one after another, with soft waists and beautiful faces.
Everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing, gradually relaxed their mood, toasted each other and admired the flowers.
The emperor didn't go very far. He stood on a high pavilion and watched from afar. When he saw a group of young faces, he sighed unconsciously, "Am I getting old?"
"Your Majesty is 40 years old. How can you be old?" Zhang Fu said with a smile, "Besides, is there anyone in this world who is more handsome than Your Majesty?"
The emperor didn't speak, but just smiled lightly.
Zhang Fu did not lie. The 40-year-old emperor is still imposing and imposing, and his maturity and calmness accumulated over time makes him even more attractive.
"A few years ago, they were a group of children, but today they are already talking about marriage." The emperor felt incredible, and also expressed some emotion, "I thought it would take a few years for them to grow up."
Zhang Fu knew who he was talking about, and there was only Wen Qin, and soon it would be Wen Qin's 16th birthday, and when he turned 16, he could get married.
"Tell me, what about Liu Yunfu, the youngest daughter of the Liu family?" The emperor thought for a while.
"Liu Taiwei's granddaughter, she is naturally very educated. It's just..." Zhang Fu smiled, "I heard that Concubine Shu also intends to help the Seventh Prince arrange this marriage."
The emperor frowned slightly, "Concubine Shu naturally wants to make plans for Xuan Che."
"Your Majesty, Shen Rong, the younger sister of Shen's companion, is lively and cheerful, and she is very suitable for Mr. Wen." Zhang Fu laughed.
The emperor glanced at Shen Rong in the Begonia Garden, and shook his head, "It's too noisy, it's not suitable."
"What about Jiang Yue, the second daughter of Prime Minister Jiang's family?" Zhang Fu asked cautiously again. "Jiang Yue has a gentle personality, a virtuous and gentle person who went out of Beijing."
"Where is it?" The emperor glanced at it.
Zhang Fu pointed, and the emperor vetoed it with just one glance, "This appearance is too ordinary, how can it be worthy of Qinqin?"
"This..." Zhang Fu hesitated a little, and then his eyes lit up, "Song Liansheng, the youngest daughter of the Song family, has a beautiful face, but she is the most beautiful woman in Beijing!"
The emperor took a few critical glances, "You are a monster, she looks a bit seductive, and Qinqin will be led astray by her."
"..." Zhang Fu wiped off his cold sweat, feeling that it was really difficult to serve.
After that, the emperor picked a few more people, but none of them were very satisfied. Either he disliked the other party's unsuitable appearance, or he disliked the other party's low status, or he felt that the woman looked very unattractive at first glance.In short, I am not satisfied at all.
"Forget it, there is no one in Beijing who is worthy of me." The emperor sighed, "After all, I taught it myself, both in appearance and personality."
"..." Zhang Fu pretended not to hear.
The atmosphere in the Begonia Garden was already very harmonious. A woman brought a wine glass and went up to toast Wen Qin. Seeing him smiling and toasting, she blushed and wanted to strike up a conversation with him in a soft voice.
It's just that the Seventh Prince who was helplessly on the side was too disruptive to the atmosphere, and his cold-eyed look was really disappointing. Many girls were scared away by his eyes.
Wen Qin didn't care, just smiled and watched the singing and dancing in the garden.
Seeing Wen Qin looking engrossed, the Seventh Prince Fox asked, "Did you fall in love with a dancer? Why are you so focused? I haven't seen you so absorbed in banquets before."
As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince on the side raised his head to look at Wen Qin with some concern, and followed his gaze towards the group of dancing girls.Seeing that there were indeed people with outstanding looks, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"I don't want to see the dancing girl, but should I want to see you?" Wen Qin raised his eyebrows.
The Seventh Prince was stunned, and a little annoyed, "You, you, you..." The crabapple flowers on his head trembled with his angry chest.
"Why don't you play a game?" A lady stood up and smiled, "Drumming and passing flowers is popular these days. If the flowers stop at someone's place, you can perform a talent."
After saying this, many noble ladies are eager to try, if they show their talents well, maybe they can attract someone's attention.They all agreed with a smile.
But the lady who made the suggestion kept looking at Wen Qin, just wanting to know what Wen Qin meant.Seeing that the people around were so enthusiastic, Wen Qin nodded.The lady just laughed.
Everyone could see that this lady was interested in Wen Qin.
The noble girl's name is Song Liansheng. She not only has a prominent family background, but also has a bright and beautiful face with beautiful eyes. Many people in Beijing like her.She despised no one for such a beauty, but Wen Qin was the only one she fell in love with. Not only was she passionate, she kept her eyes on Wen Qin, and she kept looking for opportunities to strike up a conversation with him.
Quite a few people looked at Wen Qin enviously, even if he was deeply favored, he also had a face that overwhelmed everyone, causing a group of girls to glance at him secretly.What a blessing.
The eunuch at the side brought the hydrangea and handed it to the fourth prince respectfully.With the sound of a thick drum, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows and passed the hydrangea to Wen Qin.
The hydrangea was passed down one by one, and when it was passed to the women, many noble girls exclaimed and passed the hydrangea back and forth with a smile. Finally, the drum stopped suddenly, and the hydrangea fell into the hands of a woman in green clothes.The woman blushed, took the hydrangea and went forward to salute.
"I'm showing my ugliness." She made a painting called "Slight Rain in the Spring Mountains"
The writing is exquisite and the artistic conception is beautiful, and many people are amazed after reading it.Only the fourth prince looked at it calmly, and only asked Wen Qin to look at it twice before passing it on to the seventh prince.
In this painting, there is a person holding an umbrella standing vaguely under a tree. The person is wearing a water-red thin shirt, and he can be recognized at a glance.In this capital, only Wen Qin loves water red the most, and occasionally rides his horse back to the palace outside the city, and his fresh clothes and angry horses are particularly outstanding.It's just that the painting is very secretive, and it's hard to see if you don't look carefully.
Seeing that Wen Qin didn't notice anything, the woman was slightly regretful.
What she painted was the scene she saw when she went up the mountain to pray for blessings, and then passed him by, but he didn't seem to remember it at all.The faint daughter-in-law was a little heartbroken, and the woman silently collected the painting without further words.
Song Liansheng looked at the painting, looked at her like this, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "She's just a concubine, and she's also thinking about Mr. Wen, she really doesn't know what's good or bad."
The woman was silent.
Shu Yu, who was passing by holding the hip flask, paused, glanced at the beautiful Song Liansheng, then lowered his head and walked forward holding the hip flask.Poured the wine in the jug to Wen Qin, and stood behind Wen Qin silently, with some thought in his eyes.
What Wen Qin drank was not wine at all, but the white water prepared for showering, and he was not drunk at the moment.One after another, several women went to perform, and many young people couldn't take their eyes off them, full of admiration.
The Seventh Prince beside him didn't care, drank a glass of wine, unintentionally touched his bun, was startled, and casually pulled the crabapple flowers off his head.The Seventh Prince's face turned green when he thought he had been holding on to this for so long, "Wen Qin!"
No wonder everyone bowed their heads and held back their laughter when they saw him, even the emperor couldn't help but joke, when did he wear such a thing on his head!
Wen Qin blinked and smiled, "Wearing flowers in this life will be beautiful in the next life."
"Unreasonable!" The seventh prince really loves and hates, but seeing Wen Qin's serious and innocent appearance, there is nothing he can do.I had no choice but to hold this crabapple flower and not throw it away.
"Host, according to the plot, Song Liansheng will be the empress." 520 eats melons, a little happy, "She likes the fourth prince and has been pursuing the fourth prince. Later, the emperor gave her a marriage."
Wen Qin couldn't help but look at Song Liansheng twice more, "She's really pretty."
"But I don't know why, she doesn't seem to like the Fourth Prince anymore." 520 scratched his head, "A woman's mind really fluctuates."
Wen Qin laughed, then stood up and went out for a walk with 520 in his arms. Song Liansheng, who was sitting next to him, saw him go out, and quietly chased him out.
Begonias bloom enchantingly, and the clusters are very beautiful.No matter how many times Wen Qin has seen it, he is still amazed.Not long after he left, footsteps came from behind him, and he turned his head to meet Song Liansheng's face,
"Miss Song." Wen Qin smiled politely, then wanted to leave but was stopped by her.
"Mr. Wen." Song Liansheng looked at his face with some fascination. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly chased after him, "I know that His Majesty intends to choose a wife for you at this Begonia Spring Banquet. Do you have someone in mind?"
"No." Wen Qin said.
Song Liansheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad, her face flushed slightly, "Mr. Wen..." Some words could not be said, her beautiful eyes were full of water, shyly shoved the handkerchief into his hand, then turned around and walked away. ran away.
Shu Yu was waiting at the side, seeing Song Liansheng so bold, his face changed.After recovering his complexion, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Wen Qin, "Master, let me handle it."
Wen Qin was also a little difficult to deal with, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Shu Yu said, and threw the handkerchief into her hand.
The emperor who witnessed the whole process on the tall pavilion not far away had an even more ugly expression, "I said that Song Liansheng from the Song family is so demon-like that he took the initiative to hook up with Qinqin!"
"This...Miss Song is a bit bold." Zhang Fu smiled, "you are always so enthusiastic..."
"Let Song Yilou teach his daughter well, and don't come to the court for half a month." The emperor frowned.
This is considered an extremely serious treatment, Zhang Fu was surprised, "Yes!"
***
After the Spring Banquet, several families asked the emperor to give them marriages, and they made several good marriages.However, none of the princes and Wen Qin had any news.
Wen Qin didn't pay attention to these things in recent days. Two days ago, the four princes were named Prince Shen and given a mansion.When Wen Qin came to visit with a gift, he was attracted by the elaborate design of the mansion, and began to wonder how the Wen mansion should be renovated.
The fourth prince took his own blueprints for him to learn from, and invited the artisans who designed the courtyard to design according to his needs, and selected a lot of good materials. Wen Qin immediately became interested in this matter, and ran to Wenfu all day, I want to see how my mansion is being renovated.
The Wen Mansion has been uninhabited for nearly ten years, and it is extremely barren. The style designed by this craftsman is exactly the type Wen Qin likes.
Knowing that Wen Qin was afraid of the cold, he specially designed the earth dragon and kang to prevent the cold.The garden was also designed with vines for shade and swings. Wen Qin was very happy.
Unlike living in the palace, when he thought that all of this was done according to his own thoughts, Wen Qin suddenly felt a sense of joy in decorating a new house. He ran here all day with 520 feet that did not touch the ground, watching the progress during the day and watching the progress at night. She just lived in the fourth prince's mansion, and she didn't see anyone for several days.
The emperor naturally found out too. Hearing that Wen Qin was renovating the Wen mansion, his face turned pale. Hearing that the dark guard said that the fourth prince had put in a lot of effort, he even smiled a bit. "Call Xuan Zhan into the palace."
Although the fourth prince didn't know what was going on, he became cautious when he saw that the eunuch who delivered the decree was so cautious.
When he arrived at the imperial study room, the emperor smiled lightly, "I heard that you have contributed a lot to the renovation of the Wen Mansion?"
"I dare not take the credit, it's Qinqin himself who guards day and night." The fourth prince said.
The porcelain cup containing hot tea fell in front of him, the hot tea splashed all over the floor, and even a few drops fell on his feet.
"Don't dare?" The emperor looked unpredictable, "I think you are very bold."
