Chapter 318: Sitting Facing Each Other
gazebo
Concubine Xian and King Xian sat opposite each other, drinking a pot of fragrant tea together.
Concubine Xian looked at King Xian and said, "My lord, you betrothed that girl from the Zheng family to Ye Er so plainly, will Ye Er agree?"
Xian Wang said: "A few days ago, this king wanted Xu Qing to ask Ye Er what kind of woman he likes. This king has satisfied his request to the greatest extent while keeping Da Chu stable."
Concubine Xian asked curiously: "What type of woman does Ye'er like? The Zheng family's daughter is so suitable?"
The Xian King smiled and said: "Xu Qing said that Ye Er likes beautiful people, hahaha, this standard is exactly the same as my king back then, and he is worthy of being my king's son."
Princess Xian couldn't help but lower her head when she heard this, even though they were old couples, they would still blush because of a joke.
Concubine Xian said softly: "The appearance of that girl from the Zheng family is indeed unsurpassed among the famous families of the Great Chu. In terms of appearance alone, she is comparable to Xu Qing's wife in the capital. But that girl has a very good temperament, she is quiet, gentle and pleasant, so she is naturally a good match."
The Xian King shook his head, and made an objection: "In the capital, if you only talk about appearance, how can it be the turn of Xu Qing's wife and this kid's wife."
Concubine Xian asked curiously: "Is there anyone else in the capital who can compare to the beauty of their two wives? Whose woman is it? Why has the concubine never seen it before?"
King Xian said: "The most beautiful ones in the capital are of course Wangfei and Xue'er, how can it be the turn of those two boys' wives."
When Concubine Xian heard what King Xian said, her face became redder, and the smile on her face became more intense. No woman would not like to hear others praise her for her good looks, but Concubine Xian still asked: "Then... in the eyes of the prince , Concubine or Xueer, who is more beautiful?"
The Xian Wang turned his head, looked around, and after making sure that Xiao Ruxue hadn't returned, he turned his head back and looked at Xian Wangfei again: "Then the princess is more beautiful."
Qingxue study
The two sat opposite each other at the desk in the reading area of Qingxue's study.
Xiao Ye looked at Zheng Wan'er in front of him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, gentle and charming, much more beautiful than the portraits, according to common sense, she is his own fiancée, the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family.
It's just that Xiao Ye is not ready to face her, because he hasn't practiced what brother Xu said: three points of coolness, three points of sneer, four points of careless eyes.
Now that she's not married yet, naturally she can't just raise Zheng Wan'er's chin and say: Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.
Before a great love is born, it is impossible to ask Zheng Wan'er now when will he be able to have a son.
This is afraid that it will be regarded as a hooligan act by others.
There was the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the desk, but at this moment, Zheng Wan'er obviously didn't care to read it, she just lowered her head, put her two little hands on the legs under the table, wrestled together, and lightly squeezed the book. Red lips, but don't know what to say.
Because, the person in front of her is not only the son of the virtuous king, but also her future husband, her fiancé.
In the past, she had only seen this virtuous king's son from a distance, and that was when he beat up the dandy who molested a good family, but now it is difficult to see such a scene.
Because today's capital city has become peaceful and peaceful, and no common people will be bullied anymore. Whoever dares to bully innocent people, he dares to hit the door and beat corrupt officials and dudes. Those people in Beijing have long been beaten Scared.
It's just that she never thought that she would meet this fiancé when she just came to this Qingxue study to read a book.
Originally, he thought that only on the wedding day would he see this His Royal Highness, who was considered a legend in Beijing, again.
When they met for the first time, both of them were very nervous.
After a long time, Xiao Ye looked at the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the table, and asked curiously, "Do you also like watching martial arts?"
Xiao Ye couldn't help but be curious, as the third in command of Qingxue Study, he still knew very clearly the classification of preferences of various scripts in Qingxue Study, and the main clientele.
The main customers of martial arts story books are men, and there are very few women. Only women who have practiced martial arts since childhood like Xiao Ruxue and Mrs. Sister-in-law will be obsessed with martial arts story books.
In contrast, women prefer scholars to steal young girls and break the mundane pursuit of great love stories.
Zheng Wan'er lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Xiao Ye's eyes, her delicate body trembled slightly, obviously very nervous, her voice was as soft as a feather: "No, that's not the case. Before, when I was at home, Xiao Ye What women look at are "Women's Commandments" and "Women's Virtues."
"Most of the time at home, my mother will ask me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have never seen reading materials such as story books. It's just that today my mother said that she will no longer care about the little girl, so the little girl curiously took a look at the "" "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and other martial arts story books. If... if His Highness doesn't like it, the little girl can stop reading these in the future."
Her mother taught her since she was a child: obey her father at home and obey her husband when married.
What's more, now that she is going to marry the son of the virtuous king, he is one of the most honorable people in the whole Chu, so she should be more strict with herself.
When I was at home, I was under strict control by my mother, and I was studying female celebrities, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long. Books naturally refer to the compulsory books for women and some books of sages.
Story books and the like must never appear in the boudoir, and the adults in the family do not allow her to read them.
However, when she just read the introduction, Zheng Wan'er became interested in the martial arts world described in the book. Therefore, when she said the last sentence, Zheng Wan'er seemed a little hesitant.
Xiao Ye immediately shook his head and said: "Why don't I like it? When I read "Shooting the Condors", I read it more than ten times. Compared with books of sages and sages, Confucian classics are much more interesting. Let me tell you, Don’t talk about me, my father and king directly dragged Brother Xu to urge me to change it, you haven’t even watched Condor Shooting, it’s such a pity in your life! Of course, you should take this opportunity to read it carefully.”
At this moment, Xiao Ye had already started to feel sorry for Zheng Wan'er, he hadn't even read the script, this girl is so pitiful!
The family members are also true, and they don't even let me read the scriptures.
Can't read the script, how did this girl grow up so big?
Speaking of this, Xiao Ye couldn't help but look down, he suddenly understood the "difficult to grasp" kind of bigness that Brother Xu said at the beginning.
When Zheng Wan'er heard this, she couldn't help but raised her head to look at Xiao Ye, and said in disbelief, "Your Highness, allow Wan'er to see these?"
Xiao Ye nodded as a matter of course, and didn't understand why Zheng Wan'er would ask this question: "Of course it's allowed, and, if you like to watch it, you can watch it if you like it. If others don't allow it, don't you stop watching it? What's the reason?"
Zheng Wan'er quickly shook her head, her voice was still soft: "No, that's not the case. My mother told Wan'er since she was a child that a woman obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage. She can't do things that her husband doesn't like."
