National Beauty

Chapter 21 021

Song Jianing followed Guo Xiao back to Concubine Shu’s Changchun Palace. As soon as he stepped into the first door, Princess Duanhui’s low cry came from the warm pavilion: “Grandma, cousin bullies, cousin Jianing has grown fat, I After joking, my cousin said that I was a village woman, and called my Highness in front of my third and fourth elder brothers, so I don’t want my cousin…”

The granddaughter was crying pitifully, and the wife just thought it was funny, she hugged the people and coaxed: “What nonsense, your cousin loves you the cousin the most…”

Princess Duanhui was buried in the wife’s arms and cried: “No, he is better than me to outsiders!”

Madam Tai frowned and raised her eyes secretly. She saw that Lin had already left her seat and stood in front of Concubine Shu, apologizing for her daughter, her face turned pale, her expression was fairly calm, and she hadn’t lost proportions. Mrs. Tai was very satisfied. If the Lin family was in a mess because of this trivial matter, then the position of Mrs. Guo was really not suitable for her.

Outside the door, Song Jianing panicked. Princess Duanhui complained about Guo Xiao, but Guo Xiao reprimanded Princess Duanhui because of her. Will Mrs. Tai and Concubine Shu punish her? Recalling the princess Duanhui’s kneeling punishment in her previous life, Song Jianing only felt a faint pain in her knees, and cold sweat began to flow on her forehead and face.

The princess Guo Xiao was so ignorant and ignorant. Seeing the cowardly appearance of her step-sister, she burst into flames inexplicably. He didn’t want to care about her, and was afraid that the step-sister would go in for a while and make Guo’s face even more embarrassing. When he acted, he asked in a low voice: “Have you made any mistakes?”

Song Jianing’s face was pale and pale, and only after entering the palace can you truly understand the gap between the royal family and the common people. If people want you to kneel, you can only suffer any wrongdoing. Hearing Guo Xiao’s question, Song Jianing thought and thought and felt even more aggrieved. It was obvious that Princess Duanhui laughed at her for being as fat as a pig. She hasn’t cried yet. Why is Princess Duanhui crying?

She drooped her head and shook her head.

“Since you didn’t make a mistake, don’t be afraid.” Looking at her head, Guo Xiao finally didn’t touch her head, and took the lead in stepping in. Song Jianing followed behind, glanced quickly, and saw her mother’s back facing her slender figure of concubine Shu, Song Jianing’s eyes were sour, tears welled up. She is the one who hurts her mother…

“Jianing, I am not here to make amends for the princess.” Lin also saw her daughter, with worry hidden in his eyes, but sternly scolded her face.

Song Jianing walked to Madam Tai without hesitation, in order to calm Princess Duanhui quickly, and to let Concubine Shu see her sincerity and not to anger her mother, Song Jianing threw herself on her knees and knocked her head with a “boom.” Touching his forehead, he said, “Princess, I was wrong. I will never make you angry anymore. Don’t cry.”

In the huge Nuan Pavilion, she knelt there, shocking everyone.

In fact, both Mrs. Tai and Concubine Shu knew that Princess Duanhui was the first to provoke, and Mrs. Tai did not blame Song Jianing at all. Although Concubine Shu knew that Song Jianing was right, her daughter was wronged because of Song Jianing. She still wanted to briefly remind the mother and daughter of Lin, but she didn’t expect Song Jianing, a child of civilian origin, to be so frightened that he was so big. The ceremony.

Concubine Shu was suddenly out of anger, a widow, mother and daughter who were humbled to their bones, it was not worth her care.

“This child, bickering between sisters is common, and the aunt doesn’t blame you, so why is this?” Concubine Shu was shocked and motioned to her niece to help her sister. Ting Fang had been distressed a long time ago, and hurriedly walked to Song Jianing’s side, bending over to help him up. Song Jianing heard Concubine Shu’s words, half-hearted, but still looked at Princess Duanhui nervously.

After all, Princess Duanhui was only nine years old. She was accustomed to the kneeling of the court ladies and eunuchs, but she had not been stunned by the ladies of the official family. Song Jianing was so afraid of her, Princess Duanhui was not angry anymore, wiping her tears, and said arrogantly: “Well, I will forgive you this time, and you won’t be angry with me anymore.”

Song Jianing quickly promised.

Princess Duanhui burst into tears and smiled. She looked at her cousin with red eyes, but she saw Guo Xiao’s thin lips pressed tightly and her face was pale, a terrifying look she had never seen before. Princess Duanhui couldn’t laugh anymore, but she couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong. Song Jianing was willing to kneel, so what did she do?

With her head down, Princess Duanhui hid beside her mother, silently disturbed.

Concubine Shu hugged her daughter, pretending to be serious and warned: “Jianing is your cousin. Cousin will not bully you. You are not allowed to bully your cousin. Let me know that you will never be allowed to leave the palace again.”

Princess Duanhui slipped into her mother’s arms coquettishly.

Lin Qiang smiled: “It’s all that Jianing is ignorant, so don’t blame the princess for the empress.”

Concubine Shu blamed herself: “Sister-in-law, don’t need to comfort me, I spoiled Duanhui…”

Mrs. Tai took the time to make peace and the atmosphere eased. She smiled and said: “It’s getting late. The lady has coaxed the princess well. Let’s retire first.”

Concubine Shu personally sent her mother and her party out of the Changchun Palace.

On the way out of the palace, Lin wanted to hold her daughter very much, but it was not compliant and the mother-in-law was by her side. She had to be a filial daughter-in-law first and never leave her mother-in-law. Ting Fang was gentle, and she had grabbed her sister’s chubby hand early, and it was inconvenient to speak in the palace, so she warmed her sister’s hands. Because of the fear, Song Jianing’s hands were cold. After being warmed by the gentle sister all the way, after completely walking out of the palace gate, Song Jianing was finally not afraid.

Guo Boyan was tripped by Emperor Xuande and sent someone to spread the word, telling the mothers to return to the house first.

Mrs. Lin helped Mrs. Lin to get into the carriage, and turned to see her daughter holding hands with Ting Fang. Her chubby face returned to ruddy. Lin’s eyes softened, gave Ting Fang a grateful look, and got into her carriage. The elders all went up, and then Ting Fang led her sister to their car, asked her to get in first, and helped her by herself.

“Thank you sister.” Song Jianing said sweetly.

Ting Fang smiled softly, Guo Xiao stood on one side, with one hand behind his back, looking at the chubby hand held by his younger sister, his index finger moved, but he could only help his sister get into the car. The two little girls were seated. The moment the maid lowered the curtain, Guo Xiao saw his sister holding Song Jianing in his arms, and Song Jianing only showed half of his face.

On the way back to the mansion, knowing the ins and outs, Ting Fang comforted her sister in a soft voice: “Duanhui is a princess, and her temper is bigger than the average person. An An will try not to provoke her in the future.” There is no other way. She is a princess. This cousin is not qualified to dissuade her like she disciplined her own sister.

Song Jianing leaned on her sister and nodded obediently, her watery apricot eyes staring blankly at the shaking curtains. After entering the palace, she inexplicably offended Princess Duanhui, and left a bad impression of a toad on the future emperor. If he could, Song Jianing would never want to enter the palace again in his life.

After returning to the Guogong Mansion, the wife called Guo Xiao and Ting Fang Xianxian, and brought Lin and Song Jianing back to her Changxinyuan.

The maids all retired. Lin looked at her daughter and proactively said to her mother-in-law: “Mother, I didn’t discipline Jianing well…”

Mrs. Tai waved her hand to stop her daughter-in-law’s self-blame, and then called Song Jianing to her side, took her granddaughter’s chubby hand, and said lovingly: “An An, you tell your grandmother about everything in the palace. , To be honest, no one needs to hesitate, rest assured, although grandmother is older, she is not confused yet.”

The old man was too kind, Song Jianing blinked his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Madam Tai patted her little hand, and said in doubt: “So, An An is right, then why do you kneel for the princess?”

Song Jianing cried all of a sudden, the big tears fell down, and she didn’t want to kneel, but…

“I’m afraid the princess will punish me.” With his head down, Song Jianing tears more and more, crying out the grievance of being punished on knees in the previous life.

Lin turned his head sadly, trying to hold back tears. In order to support her daughter, she threatened Guo Boyan to be the rightful wife, but she did not expect her daughter to get along well with the brothers and sisters of the Guogongfu, and the first grievance came from the palace. That was the princess, no matter how distressed she was, she was helpless.

Both the mothers were like the angry little daughter-in-law, the wife was funny and helpless, and the humble common people stepped up to the sky, and some adapted.

Lin did a good job, and Mrs. Tai said sincerely while wiping away Song Jianing’s tears: “The next thing, grandmother will only say it once, An An will keep it in her heart. Don’t tell anyone, neither will my sister.”

Song Jianing looked up blankly.

There are tears on the little girl’s eyelashes, which is really pitiful. The wife can fully understand the protection of the eldest grandson’s stepsister. Who doesn’t like a good-looking and beautiful sister? Wiping off the new tears on Song Jianing’s face, Mrs. Tai whispered: “An An’s surname is Guo now, and she is the fourth girl from the National Palace. Don’t say you made no mistakes. Even if you collide with the princess, as long as you don’t go too far. You don’t need to kneel and kowtow to her. An’an, remember that everything you say and do now represents the decent girl of the Guo family, you can no longer treat yourself as a girl from the Song family, you know? You can’t, and no one else can, unless she I want to offend our Guo family.”

She must correct the humbleness of the granddaughter’s bones. Today, she is her own family, so she kneeled. It is not too shameful for the princess to kneel. If the daughter of another official bullies her granddaughter, the granddaughter will kneel when she is afraid or it is correct. Admit it, that is definitely not what she wants to see.

Song Jianing was stunned.

Guo Boyan said something similar to her. Song Jianing didn’t take it to heart. He felt that Guo Boyan was just saying casually, that the one who is not his own is not his own. She can’t really treat herself as a daughter of Guo’s family, but now, Mrs. Tai is the same. said. Guo Boyan might want to make his mother happy, but Mrs. Tai didn’t have that need at all.

Could it be that she can really…

The little girl was confused, and the lady nodded encouragingly, and supported her granddaughter’s shoulders and said: “From now on, you have to hold your head high and show the momentum of the four girls in the Guogong Mansion. Even if you make trouble, your father will carry it.” Jiaojiao What kind of troubles the silly fat girl can cause, changing to the granddaughter of Yunfang with three bedrooms, Mrs. Tai would definitely not say that. The timid must be encouraged, the arrogant must be suppressed.

Song Jianing nodded vigorously and really understood.

The wife smiled relievedly, let go of her granddaughter, and said to Lin: “Well, you two will go back and talk to yourself.”

Lin was sincerely grateful to her mother-in-law, solemnly gave a big gift, and took her daughter away.

All the ladies who should be asked asked, the daughter’s grievance had been sufficiently comforted, and she entered the interior room, looking at her daughter’s small fleshy face, Lin finally realized a serious problem. The daughter was right. The fault was her mother. Before meeting Guo Boyan, she missed her deceased husband and neglected her daughter all day long. After remarrying Guo Boyan, she always worried that her daughter would be bullied by the sons and girls of the National Palace. Thinking of her daughter’s upbringing

Up to now, she can not restrain her daughter’s appetite, but she has to pay close attention to her words and deeds.

“What does Mrs. Tai mean, does An An understand?” Lin asked softly.

Song Jianing nodded and said embarrassedly: “Mother, even if Princess Duanhui is angry in the future, I won’t kneel anymore, don’t worry.”

Lin cried, the topic changed, and he said with a serious face: “From tomorrow on, you go and learn the rules from Mother Cen. You can’t be angry anymore.”

Song Jianing was just greedy, not very lazy, and continued to nod.

The mother and daughter were chatting, and Guo Boyan came back. Before leaving the palace, he went to Changchun Palace and heard his niece complained to his son. Knowing that his stepdaughter was in Lin’s room, Guo Boyan returned to the front yard study without letting the maids pass it on.

Guo Xiao will be here soon.

Guo Boyan slapped his head and said, “As a elder brother, you should protect Jianing. This is true, but why do you still irritate her when you know the temperament of Duanhui? Isn’t it counted on Jianing in the end? Even small things can’t be solved well, how can you be assured of letting you handle important affairs of the court in the future?”

Is it difficult for a step-sister and a cousin to coax both of them? Must make things big.

Guo Xiao looked down and said, “My son knows he was wrong.”

Guo Boyan stared at his son, snorted coldly, knowing what was wrong, why didn’t he see it?

“Find a new thing to send to the palace, coax your cousin.” The niece is happy, so that she can forget this unhappiness and hate Jianing.

Guo Xiao said goodbye: “My son will do it right away.”

After training his son, Guo Boyan picked up a free book, read it for two quarters of an hour, and went to the backyard again.

Song Jianing had already left, Lin’s heart was sitting by the window, hearing the movement outside, hurriedly greeted him, facing Guo Boyan’s stern face, Lin’s conscience suddenly became guilty. Today’s matter, the daughter is indeed right, but in the end, the daughter cried Princess Duanhui in anger and lost the decentness of the Guo family. Will Guo Boyan…

Three days after the wedding, this was the first time Guo Boyan saw emotions other than fear, politeness, and shame on Lin’s face.

He was secretly refreshed, and solemnly said: “I heard what happened in the palace.”

Lin shook his heart, and said nervously: “Duke Guo, I blame me, I…”

Before he finished speaking, his red lips were suddenly pressed by his fingers, his fingertips were rough and there were obvious calluses. Lin was speechless, with clear apricot eyes looking at him flusteredly, Guo Boyan smiled, as if the ice and snow were beginning to melt, his index finger lingered on her soft lips for a while before he put down his hands and said: “Duanhui and savage, let your wife be wronged. .”

There is no blame, only comfort. Between his sister, niece, and Xuxian’s stepdaughter, this man chooses to act fairly.

Lin felt relieved, and stared at Guo Boyan for a moment. She lowered her head, thanked her softly, and said a few words for Princess Duanhui by the way.

“True and virtuous.” Guo Boyan smiled and sat down, keeping his eyes on his wife.

Lin looked uncomfortable by him, and while pouring tea while discussing business matters: “Master Guo, I would like to ask Sister Cen to teach Jianing, do you think it’s okay?”

Guo Boyan looked at her thin white jade hands, absent-mindedly said: “Yes, if you don’t mention it, I want to tell you too.”

He could think of this, indicating that he really cares about his daughter. Lin’s heart warmed, and his voice softened a bit. Holding the tea bowl in his jade hand, he steadily sent it to Guo Boyan with small steps.

Guo Boyan took the tea with one hand, and grasped the hand that she wanted to withdraw with the other, his eyes burned, burning Lin’s face.

Guo Boyan’s throat rolled and he stopped drinking the tea. He pulled the beauty to his lap and hugged him, eager to eat the sweetness in her mouth.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qiuyue and Plucking, who were waiting outside, heard a fragile oriole cry, accompanied by the fascinating sound of moving tables and chairs. The two women glanced at each other, their faces flushed, and exited the hall lightly, watching their noses and noses, pretending that they didn’t know or heard anything. Why blush? The sun is scorching!
