She Qing is gentle and docile, living her little life without fighting or fighting. She has a kind of tranquility without fighting against the world. Moreover, she has taken care of herself very well, and she still looks pretty, especially because of her plain appearance. The warm temperament makes people feel comfortable.
Mr. Xu started to think about it after seeing him a few times.
And Mr. Xu is not bad either. Although he is a gentleman from the academy, he is not rigid and gentle. His many years of accumulation of poems and books give him the elegance and elegance of an old gentleman.
She Qing's father is a scholar. Mr. Xu has read so many books and is a teacher of Qingshan Academy. He has also produced many successful candidates. She has gotten along with Mr. Xu several times and feels good about him.
After Su Ruo found out about this, he thought about it and called Su Ling. After asking someone to check Mr. Xu's identity, he planned to find a companion for his mother.
She Qing is only thirty-seven years old this year, and she still has a long life. With a companion, she can live a more comfortable life, so as not to be alone.
Today happened to be the day when the two of them talked things over, planning to spend some time preparing, setting up a few banquets, and getting married.
She Qing also told Mr. Xu about herself. She once served as a concubine.
Mr. Xu didn't care. He was already old, so he could still marry a girl. At this time, he could marry a gentle wife and live a quiet and warm life. He was already very satisfied.
Mr. Xu made a lantern for She Qing, with a detailed portrait of Chang'e flying to the moon. She Qing handed him the pen with a smile in her eyes.
Mr. Xu said: "Tomorrow, I will write a letter to Gillian, and you can talk to your two girls. If they both agree, we will choose a day to handle this matter."
Although Mr. Xu is indifferent to fame and wealth and devotes himself to teaching, he is still a gentleman from Qingshan Academy and has some financial resources. There is a courtyard with three entrances next door, and there is also a study at the foot of Qingshan Academy. With the savings accumulated over the years, No worse than She Qing.
Although he also wanted to have a good show, due to She Qing's previous identity, if word spread, it would not be a slap in the face of Duke Jinning, and Su Ruo and Su Ling would also look bad on their faces.
It's better to invite a few guests who you know well and are close to, set up a few tables to make it lively, and then live a good life.
She Qing nodded: "Aruo and Aling are naturally willing. They said that sometimes they don't care about me. If there is someone to take care of each other, they will be happy."
Fortunately for Su Ruo, she is the second wife of Pingbaihou Mansion, and she and Mrs. Hou are sisters-in-law. Pingbaihou brothers are of the same mind, so Mrs. Hou has no reason to embarrass her sister-in-law. She can make her own decisions when she wants to go out.
But Su Ling is the concubine of Prince Sui's palace. Even if the princess is tolerant to her, there is no reason to keep running away.
And because they can't live together, the two of them occasionally have things they can't take care of. It's better to find a companion for She Qing, who can take care of each other on weekdays and be with them when they grow old.
Mr. Xu nodded: "Gillian is a filial child and will definitely agree."
When Mr. Xu thought about his daughter, he also felt a little emotional. His girl was good at everything, but the son-in-law he chose was too far away. She had to get married. She only came back once after being married for several years.
She Qing hummed.
Mr. Xu finished drawing the lantern, then smiled. He blew the ink on it dry, then installed the candle and used a fire stick to light the candle inside.
The orange light reflects a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon, and the fairy in the painting seems to be flying to the moon palace.
The wind blew, and the candlelight swayed slightly.
Mr. Xu asked her: "Does it look good?!"
She Qing nodded: "It looks good."
Mr. Xu handed the lantern to her: "For you."
She Qing was stunned for a moment, then took the lantern, but she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.
She remembered that she was a twelve-year-old girl when she played with lanterns for the last time. Her father was still there, and he made lanterns with her on the Lantern Festival. Later, her father passed away and no one would make lanterns for her anymore.
She worked as a maid for the first two years after entering the Jinning Palace. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she had no money. Later, she became a concubine for Su Wang. Su Wang was a rough man. How could he have such thoughts? And even if he did, he He also had to accompany Mr. Yang, the head wife, first, so it would be her turn.
Every time during the holidays, her concubine couldn't go to the banquet, so she had to stay quietly in the yard by herself, passing the time slowly.
Mr. Xu saw her crying and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Why are you crying? Could it be that I said something that made you unhappy?!"
"No." Aunt She shook her head, wiped away her tears and lowered her head, "I like this lantern very much, thank you."
She Qing thought to herself, if this is the case, she should be content to have someone who knows both coldness and warmth for the rest of her life.
It is better than living in the inner palace of Jinning Duke's Mansion, being taught by the Yang family all his life, and having to wait for that person to occasionally think of him and show him some pity.
Now I just hope that the years will pass peacefully and my life will pass peacefully.
.
Speaking of this Mid-Autumn Festival, the happiest thing in my heart is Prince Sui's palace. Now that the prince has been deposed, Prince Ming is cowardly, and the ninth prince is young, only Prince Sui is the most suitable candidate for the future crown prince.
King Sui was extremely happy when he learned that the prince had been deposed. If he hadn't wanted to keep a low profile, he would have invited all his staff to have a drink together.
He only felt that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was the best Mid-Autumn Festival in his life, and the princess also felt that her face was more glorious.
Princess Sui and Song Wanting were both well-known noblewomen in the imperial city, and they were very difficult to deal with. In the past, Song Wanting married the prince and she married King Sui, but Song Wanting took advantage of her. But now that the prince has been deposed, Song Wanting also has nothing, and Sui The king will most likely be the one to ascend the throne in the future.
In this way, she might become the queen, how could she be unhappy? !
But King Sui and Princess Sui were only happy for a day. The emperor came to court early the next day. After listening to a lot of nonsense, he suddenly slipped King Ming out and assigned him a real job, letting him go to the court to run errands.
The emperor's move confused everyone in the court. In the past, the deposed prince was in the court, and King Sui was in the court, but Prince Ming was always just a little transparent boy who only had the title of prince. He was incapable of doing anything, and he didn't dare to do anything. Yes, just like a useless snack.
However, many people soon came to their senses. Why did the emperor bring up King Ming? It was just to check and balance King Sui. The prince was deposed and the family of King Sui became the dominant one in the court. If the emperor had no intention of letting King Sui If this continues, someone must check and balance King Sui.
Although King Ming was not ineffective, he was the emperor's biological son after all. If the emperor was a little partial, it would give King Sui a headache.
King Sui was so angry that he almost overturned the table because he felt that the emperor did not want to see his son.
The prince and the Ming King were not even remotely comparable to him, but the emperor just didn't want to see him. After all, the prince was deposed. He still wanted to do a few practical deeds and make meritorious deeds, and then get someone to write a letter to appoint him as the crown prince.
But the emperor happened to bring Prince Ming up again.
I'm so angry!
