Chapter 161: Is he a good man worth trusting?
Want to get married?
Shi was stunned for a moment.
From beginning to end, no one seemed to have asked her this question.
The emperor granted the marriage, my father was delighted, and the whole family was even more delighted.
Yinfeng was the first crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and now Shi will also become the first crown prince of the Qing Dynasty.
The emperor had been choosing for so many years, and finally settled on the Shi family among the noble ladies in the world.
Doesn't this prove that the daughter of the Guarja family is the most outstanding woman in the world today?
Shi, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, had always received education from her family and became a high-class mistress who cared for her husband and raised her children.
Now that he has been affirmed by the emperor, Shi was naturally happy and looking forward to it at first.
She was summoned to Beijing.
In Sijiu City, because of the name of the prospective crown princess, she received a lot of attention wherever she went.
For this reason, Mr. Shi became more respectful and dignified, not daring to make any mistakes in every word and deed.
She also met her future husband.
The prince Yin Reng, who was raised by the emperor himself, was indeed outstanding in appearance, both civil and military, and among the best among men.
Mrs. Shi secretly added a bit of expectation to this marriage in her heart.
But at some point, when I saw the prince again, his elegance and politeness seemed to be mixed with a trace of alienation.
Shi didn't think much about it, guessing that it was because they weren't married yet, so they couldn't get too close.
On the first day after his father passed away, the prince did not appear.
In the capital, people were waiting to see which direction the wind was blowing, and there were rumors that she, the would-be crown princess, was about to lose power.
Until today, the prince arrived late and completely ignored her after arriving.
All the clues from before began to emerge before my eyes.
After Kangxi issued the decree, all the exchanges between Yuqing Palace and Guarjia Palace were due to the emperor's orders.
Shi once sent a piece of his calligraphy to Yuqing Palace, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
At that time, the prince paid no attention to her, and Shi just felt a little lonely because of the girl.
But today, the prince's indifference was a heavy blow that shattered the misunderstanding that had been covered up.
The prince has a noble status, impeccable appearance and talents.
That being the case, is he a worthy person to be entrusted to?
Shi didn't have an answer for a moment.
The upbringing in her bones prevented her from neglecting the guests because of her own thoughts. She looked at Uranala and said: "Sifujin, I have to apologize to you again. I was a little alienated from you because of other people's gossip. Yes. I don’t know the person well, I hope my sister will forgive me.”
Shi had just arrived in Beijing from Jiangnan and was not familiar with the aristocratic circle in the capital.
At that time, the name of Sifu Jin Ulanala suddenly became famous.
When he learned that she helped the miracle doctors develop cowpox, Shi was very curious about her.
But on several occasions when they met, someone else pulled Shi.
Unlike other people's enthusiasm for her, the future princess, except for necessary responses, Ulanara never took the initiative to get in front of her at other times.
There wasn't much communication between the two.
Later, it was spread in the capital that Sifu Jin was a tigress. Others did not know whether they followed suit or were jealous, exaggerating some of Ulanara's inappropriate words and deeds in front of Shi.
Shi did not agree.
Just because of her status as the quasi-princess, she kept a certain distance from people who were not yet clear.
If Shi didn't say this, no one would know.
Lu Pheasant was quite frank: "I thought it was my sister's inappropriate behavior earlier that made Sister Shi have a bad impression of our family. It made me too embarrassed to get close to my sister."
Only then did Shi remember the embarrassing situation that day.
Even though she actually admired Si Fujin's performance that day, it was not easy for her to discuss the matter in private.
"How can the fourth girl's personal problems involve Si Fujin? After all, I am blind and cannot see the 'pearl'."
Lu Pheasant: "Sister Shi is worthy of the word 'Pearl' because she is virtuous and virtuous."
Guarjia on the side didn't quite understand why her cousin and her sister-in-law suddenly started complimenting each other.
And was there something going on between them that she didn't know about?
But Guarjia's love for her cousin since childhood is from the bottom of her heart: "Sifujin is right. My cousin was studying essays at the age of three, reciting poems at the age of five, and was full of knowledge at the age of seven. She is indeed a well-deserved lady from a famous family, and she is highly virtuous. Daughter of gold. Otherwise, how could Long Live Lord choose her..."
It's over, what pot does she not open and pick up?
At this time, there was a noise outside: "The Grand Scholar has arrived."
"Which Grand Maester is it?"
"It's Prime Minister Yi, and Prime Minister Zhang are here."
…
Everyone in the Gualjia family was excited when they heard this.
Previously, the posthumous title of Concubine Wen Xi was drafted by the emperor's great scholar Yisang'a.
Today Yi Xiang came over. It seems that Shi Wenbing's posthumous name has been drafted.
Even Zhang Yushu came, and two of the four great bachelors came at once.
The other two, Wang Xi, are nearly seventy years old and they don't dare to work too hard on him. Alantai was busy with military affairs, so he rarely came forward in these matters.
The presence of Yisang'a and Zhang Yushu means that the rumors of the emperor abandoning the Guarjia family are self-defeating.
Shi's haggard face changed, his eyes became more colorful, and he held Si Fujin's hand excitedly: "Did I hear you right? Is it really Yi Xiang and the others who are here?"
Lu Zhi held her back and said, "It's true, they are here."
"Great, great." Guarjia stretched out her two hands and held theirs, as if this way she was not alienated from the "small group".
Strange, they are obviously her cousin and sister-in-law. Why is she more like an outsider?
Lu Pheasant was the calmest one: "Let's go out and have a look too."
Coming out of the side hall, it happened that Bachelor Yisang'a was reading the eulogy he had written for Shi Wenbing, the vice-capital and Fuzhou general, with the posthumous title "Zhongyi".
The Guarjia family knelt down to thank them.
Lu Pheasant walked to Si Age and watched the ceremony.
The couple didn't speak, but they had a strange tacit understanding.
Fourth Brother just tilted his head slightly.
Lu Pheasant then discovered that the prince and the eldest brother had left so quickly.
I came here to express my condolences to the Guarjia family in a hurry. Is this still sincere?
However, Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu are still there, and the two bachelors who were kicked off are quite bitter towards the current Yisang'a and Zhang Yushu.
What makes them even more sad is that Shi Wenbing only took up posts in Hangzhou and Fuzhou successively, so why should he be given a posthumous title? His grandfather Shi Tingzhu had great military achievements. After his death, he posthumously awarded the posthumous title of "Loyal and Brave" to the young master, which is acceptable.
Did Shi Wenbing die early on the road for no reason?
Naturally, there were people in the mourning hall who were equally jealous of Shi Wenbing, who was favored by the emperor even in death.
But what's more important now is that they have changed their previous thoughts of leaving early with the prince and eldest brother, and they are all getting together to continue "reminiscing about the past" with the people of the Guarjia family.
The bachelors all showed up, but they still dared to ridicule Guarjia like they did before.
Even outside, many people heard the news and came to offer incense and condolences.
The Guarjia family, which originally had a lot of people, was suddenly overcrowded, and Shi was so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground.
But she also noticed that the prince had left long ago.
As for those who follow suit, Mr. Shi will only treat them politely.
Only in a moment of predicament can you see clearly whether the people around you are humans or ghosts.
For example, these people who follow the trend are imps.
Also, she didn't realize before that the fourth brother and his wife were actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and they were upright people.
And, Sifujin’s shocking question, does she want to get married?
Listening to those brats complimenting her as the "quasi-princess" as usual, Shi's expression became even colder.
As if he felt that the Guarjia family had been too neglected before, the sound of whipping came from outside the door again: "The Emperor has arrived!"
