The Way of Favors

East Palace.

Grandma Wang rushed in from outside with joy, and said to the princess who was leaning on the couch and reading: "Your mother, please get up and tidy up. The princess will come to accompany you for dinner tonight."

The crown prince twitched the corners of her mouth, did not lift her eyelids, and laughed at herself: "Is there anything to clean up."

Her appearance was given by her parents, her father was very talented, her mother was a beauty, but unfortunately she did not inherit the beauty of her mother. Among the noble ladies in the capital, she was in the middle of nowhere in the crowd. If it wasn't for her own talent, if it wasn't for her father to be one of the elders of the cabinet, everyone in the world would envy the position of the princess, she would not be able to sit there anyway.

The princess was her dowry. She also watched the princess grow up when she was a child. She sighed secretly when she saw the listlessness of her own mother, and sat down on the low stool next to the couch, and took the princess with her seniority. With a scroll in his hand, he said earnestly and earnestly: "This lady is wrong. This woman, three points depend on nature, seven points depend on dressing. Does the lady think that is so beautiful? Huh, they are all dressed up, and you can't decide what to do after washing your face. That's how it is. Besides, the prince's wife is being married by Ming Mei. In the future...Which is comparable to those who specialize in the prince's usual pastime?"

It's all clichés, and the princess doesn't bother to listen, and turns inward.

Grandma Wang was worried, and she sat down on the couch and continued to coax: "The prince will stop making trouble. It's rare that the prince has always been thinking about the prince recently. The prince should cheer up and serve the prince and try to get another one. Don't worry about me, I know you don’t like to hear this, but the truth is that the empress is still young, and she can’t be discouraged because she has no relationship with a little master. In this life, a woman’s offspring is the top priority and a man’s pampering is second."

Speaking of the son who died young, the princess was heartbroken, and clenched her hands tightly and said: "The prince wants to have children, many of me."

The grandmother Wang only felt that her brain hurts, and her own master was talented, but this man and woman fell in love with her head, and got into the brains so hard that the concubine could not see clearly. The prince prince, the emperor in the future, ordinary people want to ask for a second house if they have money, and they want to get one-hearted from the prince, isn't that the moon in the water?

"My mother, why don't you understand? Even if the one is pregnant, who knows whether she is pregnant with a child or a daughter? Even if it is a son, it is also a concubine. How can you compare with the prostitute? Didn’t you even bother after I wrote it? That’s the good news that is looking forward to you! Hey, get up quickly. When the prince arrives to see you like this, he will get cold again."

The crown prince paused, sat up slowly, and sneered outside the window: "Mother thinks he really remembers me when he comes now? No, he is guilty because he wants to accompany her back to her mother's house, and wants to compensate me with this ..."

"No matter what the prince thinks, the maiden just needs to remember that you need a son most now, and the others can wait for the little master to give birth to the long-term plan." Grandma Wang interrupted the prince's self-pity in a low voice. Knowing what the princess cares about most, she added, "The more you are like this, the happier there will be. You see you are listless, and you are pregnant with a child and a solid pet over there, but nothing was delayed."

The face of the princess finally changed.

Mother Wang took the opportunity to whisper a few words, and quickly helped people sit in front of the vanity mirror and called the maids to come in and serve.

So when the prince stepped on the night, he saw his wife waiting in front of the door in a plain and elegant dress, with a gentle smile on her face, which was totally different from the strong laughter of the previous night.

The prince quickly glanced at the grandma behind the princess, and he was very satisfied.

He was too lazy to care about the twists and turns in these women. The princess often shook his face to him. He only indulged him for the sake of her natal family. But if the princess kept being so indifferent, he would not know that he would still pay. How long can it be tolerated.

"I look good today, is there any happy event?" He took his wife's hand and walked slowly into the room.

The princess suppressed the soreness in her heart, and softly told him the interesting things she had seen in the book.

The prince went to court before dawn the next day, and the maid of the night watch was pulled over by the maid. She learned that the house had been quiet for a full quarter of an hour last night, and was no longer as perfunctory as the previous two nights, and finally relieved. Come.

But he said that after the prince came down, he would go out with Xu Jin as usual.

Among the princes, Emperor Jiahe was not happy that King Kang was lazy and did not arrange any errands for him. The fifth princes had not yet been married and had no errands, so the two princes, like the youngest sixth princes, did not need to go to court for the time being.

"The fourth child will be hired in a few days, right?" The prince asked with a smile.

The happy event is approaching, Xu Jin looks no different from usual, looking at the front steps and saying: "At the end of July, there is one month left."

The crown prince stared at him, thinking of the beauty he saw from a distance that day, and the rumor that the third daughter of the Fu family was crowned in the capital, he patted Xu Jin on the shoulder with envy: "It's the father who loves you. I heard that your fiancée is beautiful and beautiful. , Is the number one beauty in Beijing, the fourth child is blessed."

This is a bit frivolous, Xu Jin frowned, and replied in a deep voice: "Anecdotal rumors are not enough to be believed. Moreover, our brother’s princesses are all personally selected by the father. The villain passed to the father's ears."

The prince's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "The fourth child is as serious as when he was a child, and he cannot tolerate others making jokes about you. By the way, today the fourth girl of the Fu family has her birthday, and your sister-in-law has not been back to the house for a long time. I plan to accompany you. She went for a walk, would you like the fourth child to sit and sit together? I remember the tea in Jingyang Houfu was pretty good."

Xu Jin kept walking: "No, there is still something in my house, the prince walks slowly."

The prince stopped by the white jade railing, watching the tall figure in front of him go away, a confusion flashed in his eyes.

The father's love for the fourth child is not fake, so why did he point him to a concubine's daughter? Isn't it possible that besides their beauty, the three girls have other specialties?

He is thinking about meeting the girl more and more. Her marriage to the fourth child is a foregone conclusion. He must not be able to make her mind clear, but if he happens to have a chance, he can talk up close, or touch his little hand. Kaze, he was willing to do it, anyway, she would definitely not tell anyone.

Back in the East Palace, the prince went directly to the backyard to pick up Fu Ning.

Fu Ning has been pregnant for more than six months. Except for the obvious bulging of the belly, the other places did not seem to have changed much. It was slightly rounded, but she seemed to have a better complexion. Mingyan had three points before.

"You are here." Fu Ning gave a blessing, and looked at the busy little maids behind him, a little embarrassingly said: "I got up late this morning, and I haven't gotten it up yet. You have to wait."

The prince smiled and walked over, and personally helped her to sit on the bed in the room, and put his arms around humane: "Since I have not cleaned up, lie down with me for a while."

Fu Ning wanted to decline. The prince had already reached into her shirt, pretending to be surprised, and said, "I haven't seen you in a few days, you are growing here again."

"Don't do this, you'll be leaving soon." Fu Ning was worried about the child in his belly, and did not dare to do too much movement, so he could only lean on the man's chest and whispered to remind him, "Go to my sister to say goodbye..."

She closed her eyes and blushed, and the prince was startled.

To be honest, Fu Ning was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and he couldn't imagine anyone would compare Fu Ning.

Such a beauty has not been close for a few days, the prince really thought about it. After putting down the gauze tent, he went to pull Fu Ning's belt and said dumbly: "No hurry, let me kiss first. I haven't touched it for several nights."

Fu Ning knew him too much and stopped talking, biting his lip to bear it.

The two of them had a long time in the house before they went to the crown prince.

Staring at Fu Ning's charming face that had obviously just been moisturized, the princess laughed more ugly than crying.

The prince was also a little embarrassed, and he led Fu Ning away with a few words of greeting. When he got into the carriage, it was three poles in the sun.

In Jingyanghoufu, the female families were all waiting in the Wufu Hall, and only the males were waiting in the front yard to greet guests.

The old lady sat solemnly on the couch, and whispered to the little girls in the room: "Today the prince accompanies your eldest sister to go home to save her relatives. I will definitely stay here for dinner at noon, and you will all go back to your room to stay. No one is allowed to walk around in the garden, you know?"

The prince loves beauty, and almost everyone in Beijing knows that ordinary beauties can't get into the eyes of the prince. The old lady is very confident in her granddaughter, for fear of being taken back by the prince again as a concubine. Fu Bao Fu Mi and his granddaughter Shen Qing are both direct relatives. She couldn't bear it. As for the two in the second room, the old lady didn't want them to fall into the hands of the prince. After all, there were really two girls from the Fu family who entered the Prince's Mansion. Outsiders would not blame the prince. They would only pour sewage on the plaque of Jingyang Hou Mansion, saying that their Fu family was crazy about climbing Gaozhi.

Fu Rong knew in his heart, Fu Bao's few little ones were ignorant. Since the elders in the family didn't allow them, they should obediently.

Before long, the little maid outside reported that the prince and the eldest girl had arrived.

Lin stood up nervously.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "You all go to the yard to pick up the big girl. I'll wait in the house."

Lin led Fu Bao out first, and Fu Rong and others followed.

The sun was scorching, and everyone was standing in the corridor, with hot wind blowing from one side, swaying the wilting flowers and trees nearby.

Fu Rong stared at the slightly curled tip of the leaf.

She had only met Fu Ning this big sister once in her previous life. At that time, she had just entered Beijing. Fu Ning returned home to save her relatives in the next year, and she was also accompanied by the prince. It was almost the same now, except that Fu Ning was pregnant with the child. He has grown into a four-year-old boy, lively and cute. At that time, Fu Rong felt that since the prince's concubine's eldest son died young, only Fu Ning was pregnant. The prince still liked her very much, right? Then Fu Ning's days in the East Palace should be fine, but in the winter of that year, he received news of Fu Ning's death, a corpse and two lives, and a baby girl was born.

His eyes were a little sore, and Fu Rong raised his head quietly.

There are always people who die for various reasons. Fu Rong doesn't listen to two deaths, one is the child's early death, and the other is the woman's death during pregnancy. The former will remind her of her younger brother, and the latter will remind her of her sister. If it is an unrelated stranger, Fu Rong may only be sad for a moment, but Fu Ning, that is her cousin, who cares for their second room. Uncle's eldest daughter, Fu Rong really didn't want her to repeat the same mistakes.

Her father and brother didn't tell her about the changes in the palace in the previous life, and Fu Rong secretly inquired about it in private. I heard that the prince had long been dissatisfied with the emperor’s importance of Xu Jin. Later, he colluded with the enemy to murder the Xu Jin brothers. The emperor noticed that he deliberately abolished the prince. The prince jumped off the wall and raised his troops. Suppressed by King An’s order...

Fu Rong didn't know whether he should believe the hearsay, but felt that the rumors were really reasonable. So in this life, Xu Jin and the prince will fight to death sooner or later. Since Fu Rong is trying his best to save Xu Jin's life, he is going to push the prince to death. Fu Rong didn't want to bother about things that were too far away. He just wanted to help Fu Ning avoid the bad luck of her previous life when she could.

"sister!"

Fu Bao's surprise voice came from his ear, and Fu Rong looked up.

Fu Ning walked over with a gentle step supported by a mother, a loose green dress and white skirt fluttering in the wind, making it extraordinary.

Fu Rong, Shen Qing, a few small ones gathered around, sweetly calling big sister.

Fu Ning praised one by one, especially Fu Rong. She even brought Fu Rong’s boxing gift, holding the little girl’s hand and saying, "I will definitely not be able to take the third sister out of the cabinet in person at that time. I will meet today. Give you things early. When the third sister gets married, there will be more opportunities for our sisters to see each other. We will talk more when the time comes."

The attitude is intimate and natural, and there is no pantothenic acid because Fu Rong is about to become a concubine.

Fu Rong smiled and nodded, bending over to speak to her stomach: "Okay, not only can I see my big sister, but I can also hug my nephew."

Fu Ning touched his stomach and smiled softly.

Lin loved to hear this sentence, and suddenly didn't care so much about Fu Ronggao's marriage, and smiled and asked everyone to go back to the house and talk.

After having a lively meal in Wufutang, Qiao took his two daughters away so as not to disturb Lin and Fu Ning.

When Fu Ning was leaning against his mother's arms with mixed feelings, the prince was walking back and forth in the guest room alone, very depressed.

He came to Fu's house to coax Fu Ning. More importantly, he hoped to meet the three girls. But when he arrived at Jingyanghou's Mansion, only the males went out to greet him, and later no matter what he wanted to do, or Fu Pinchuan To accompany, or Fu You and Lin Shaotang to accompany, there is no chance for a chance encounter.

Feeling bored in the house, the prince went out and walked to the courtyard gate, and Fu You came over.

"The humble house is simple, isn't the prince accustomed to living?" Fu You asked with concern.

The prince smiled and said, "I am too modest. I just can't get to the palace. I remember your house has a unique garden and wanted to go shopping. But you, why didn't you rest in the house at this time?"

Fu You said: "My mother is worried that the prince is not used to sleeping, so she asked me to come and have a look. Since the prince wants to enjoy the scenery, can I walk with the prince?"

What can the prince say?

Fu You made a gesture of asking, half a step behind the prince, calmly introducing him to the scenery in the garden. He was three of the grandchildren of the Fu family, and Fu Ding and Fu Chen loved martial arts, but he liked to read, and he was considered a famous talent in Beijing. As a gifted scholar, his literary talent is of course not bad. In the afternoon when he knew the scorching sun, he was hiding in the leaves and screaming lazily. He actually tasted another flavor, witty words, and talked about the scene step by step.

The prince didn't see any scenes, only sweating. He heard the sound of water in front of him and knew that he was near the lake, so he couldn't help but walked over there.

Fu You laughed and followed.

The prince swept around the lake and pointed to the pavilion and said, "Go and sit down. I am a little tired after walking for so long."

"Okay." Fu You's voice was still clear, and he turned around and ordered the young man to prepare tea.

The prince was too hot. Fu You didn't finish. He walked quickly towards the pavilion. When Fu You turned his head, the prince was already twenty steps away from him.

He stared at the prince's back for a while before raising his foot.

When he noticed that the prince stopped suddenly, and then accelerated his steps, Fu You frowned and moved his eyes to the pavilion.

He saw a girl in a pink skirt stand up, because the pavilion was hidden by the pillars, only the corner of the skirt was no one.

In the black eyes of the young man who had been smiling, hostility flashed by.
