Duanhua returned to Princess Qingping's Mansion in a hurry, almost jogging all the way to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Princess Qingping felt that the prince would definitely not agree to Duan Hua. Unlike the emperor, the prince would not condone Duan Hua's mischief. If he and Duan Hua were in power before, she and Duan Hua would go to the palace to cry and beg. Maybe the emperor's brother would be annoyed by his begging. So he agreed, but now that the prince is in power, although he has not ascended the throne, the emperor's brother has delegated the power to the prince to supervise the country. Everything has to go through the prince. For a person like the prince, state affairs are the most important thing. No matter how crooked Duan Hua is, there will be no chance. .
Therefore, even if she is not pregnant, she does not want to get into trouble in front of the prince.
As for her daughter, let her do it! As long as the prince didn't agree, there was nothing she could do. After a few times, she might give up. In other words, the prince always has a way to deal with her. When she chased Zhou Gu and went to the East Palace several times, after being punished by the prince, she would be honest for a while when she came back.
Princess Qingping had just finished her meal and was sitting at the table drinking anti-fetal medicine. When she saw Duanhua rushing in, she didn't scold her and just said, "Are you burning your butt? Are you running in such a hurry?"
Duanhua was panting and looked at her mother. She was about to say, "Mom, something big has happened." But when she said the words, she was afraid of scaring her mother. If she got pregnant, it would be a sin for her. He turned around and left, "Well, Mom, I'm looking for dad. Is he in the government office? I'll go find him right away."
After saying that, she ran away like the wind.
Qingping: "..."
This kid.
Duan Hua felt that for such a big matter, her mother was pregnant but his father was not, so it would be more reliable to go to his father first.
So she got on the carriage again and hurried to the Yamen to look for her consort.
The yamen where the Prince Consort works has been a little busy recently because the prince returned to Beijing to manage politics. However, since his yamen is already quite quiet, compared to other busy departments, it is not bad. There is still time for a drink of water.
After Duan Hua arrived, he hurriedly said inside: "Excuse me, I have something important to do with my father. Please ask him to come out quickly."
When the people in the yamen saw that it was the princess, some people immediately went to call the prince-in-law.
The prince-in-law was recently pregnant because of Qingping, and even when he went to the Yamen, he was worried about it. Fortunately, Duanhua had grown up and could help take care of him, so he was not too worried. If it weren't for the fact that the court was too busy after the war, it would also be in short supply. Damn it, he wanted to take a year off and go back home to accompany his wife to have the baby.
When he heard that his daughter was coming, the prince-in-law immediately put down what he was doing and walked out quickly. He knew that his daughter rarely came to the Yamen to look for him, so if she came to look for him today, something must be wrong.
He quickly left the yamen and saw Duanhua waiting at the door. His girl kicked the stones with her toes and kicked them in circles. This was a skill Duanhua learned from Su Rong. She didn't like stones before. Dislike feet.
The consort came to Duan Hua, looked at her and asked, "What happened? Is it your mother?"
"Oh, dad, no, my mother is very kind, something happened to me." Duan Hua said immediately.
The prince-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Duanhua standing in front of him, wondering, "What happened to you?"
It's not that he can be so calm. In fact, he is a girl who has had too many things happen to her since she was a child.
Duan Hua grabbed the consort and said, "Dad, come with me. Let's find a place where no one is around. We must have a good talk."
"I'm still busy, why can't we wait until I go to the office?" The prince-in-law was helpless.
"No." Duan Hua grabbed him and left.
The consort could only keep up with her.
When they came to a deserted place, Duan Hua ordered the guards, "Guard the surroundings and don't let anyone get close. I want to whisper to my father."
The guards all responded.
Seeing how mysterious and solemn she was, the prince-in-law couldn't help but look serious.
After Duanhua made arrangements, he leaned into the ear of the consort and said, "Dad, something big has happened."
The prince-in-law immediately said: "You say it."
Duan Hua released the thunder, "The prince's cousin said he wants to marry me."
The consort suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Duan Hua, suspecting that he was deaf and heard wrongly, "What did you say?"
He, a usually calm person, couldn't help but hit the high note.
"The prince's cousin said he wanted to marry me." Duan Hua said it, and she felt relaxed all of a sudden. She had been holding it in all morning, and finally she found her father to talk to. She grabbed the prince's arm, "Dad, the prince's cousin told me , I hate marrying, but he worries about marrying. If I didn’t marry him, he wouldn’t have to worry about choosing a concubine.”
Consort: "...!!!"
He looked at Duan Hua in shock, and heard clearly this time, "Are you sure the prince told you this?"
"Sure." Duan Hua nodded fiercely. Although she felt a little unreal after waking up from her sleep, it was absolutely true. She did not have Alzheimer's disease and her memory was very clear.
The prince-in-law pulled Duan Hua back, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face, "Tell me carefully, what is going on?"
Duan Hua nodded and told the story of the day when her carriage broke down and the prince's cousin sent her back to the house, how she put up the imperial list to choose a beautiful husband, and how she went to the East Palace and waited until late at night to pester the prince yesterday. She had a good memory and told them word for word. The prince consort recounted the story.
After hearing this, the prince-in-law was stunned and dumbfounded, and did not speak for a long time.
Duan Hua stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Hey, dad, tell me, should I agree to him? That's the prince's cousin. I've been afraid of him since I was a child..."
Hearing her nagging, the Prince Consort came back to his senses and felt complicated. Looking at his little white pig, he didn't expect that it would get into the cabbage of His Royal Highness because of its twist. He really didn't know what to say.
He said angrily: "Since you are afraid of him, why do you go to the East Palace to pester people?"
It's all his fault that he has neglected her these days because his wife is pregnant and because there are too many things to do in the office. He didn't expect that she would create such a big trap.
"I'm right to be afraid of him, but my lifelong event is too important. I don't want to be laughed at if I can't get married." Duan Hua muttered.
The consort looked at her and said, "You don't have to worry about getting married now."
Duan Hua sighed and whispered: "The prince's cousin is quite good-looking. If I hadn't been afraid of him since childhood, I might not like Zhou Gu, but I might like him."
They were both cousins, so Zhou Gu wanted to stay away from her for eight hundred miles, but the prince's cousin endured the headache and taught her a lesson every time.
The prince-in-law lost his temper, "Have you told your mother?"
Duan Hua shook his head, "I didn't dare to say it, because I was afraid of shocking her pregnancy. So I came to you quickly."
"Did you sleep well last night?" The prince-in-law looked at his daughter who didn't look like she had slept all night.
Duan Hua nodded, "Yeah, the East Palace is quiet and I can sleep comfortably. After the prince's cousin left, I slept until dawn."
The prince-in-law was speechless, "It's hard for you to still be able to sleep."
Duan Hua looked at his biological father, "Dad, why can't I sleep? I was so tired yesterday. I waited for him in the East Palace for most of the night before he came back. I was exhausted."
The prince-in-law rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Choosing a concubine for the crown prince is a big deal, how can it be a piece of cake? Do you think you can be the crown prince of the Eastern Palace and the future mother of a country?"
Duan Hua blinked and said honestly, "I don't know."
