When the princess took Chu Nianhe to the emperor’s study, the emperor was writing in front of the mahogany square table with dragon carved, while Ying was grinding ink and serving. When the noble man Ying saw the princess, he lowered his body slightly and saw the courtesy, he turned back to the west side hall of Zhengyang Palace and waited.
“You are here today,” the emperor said to the princess with a smile: “Ruohan, let’s see how his father’s new copybook is copied?”
Since he learned of the emperor’s will, the princess hasn’t come to see the emperor for several days. She thought that the emperor who had always felt sorry for her would explain something to her. After hearing this opening remark, a sour feeling surged into her heart, almost forcing her to burst into tears.
“Yes,” the princess lowered her head to hide the sadness in her heart, raised her head and showed a sweet smile, “My father loves Wang Xizhi’s words the most. Is it his copybook today?”
As she said, she moved her lotus steps slightly and walked to the emperor’s desk.
The emperor did not speak, but carefully copied the copybook. The princess didn’t say anything, and grinded ink in front of the inkstone that Concubine Ying had just put down. Although the father and daughter looked quiet, Chu Nianhe looked around, but felt that there were countless words between them and they were difficult to say. Perhaps after this incident, there is no longer the carefree time between father and daughter as before, but maybe this is growth, and life teaches the princess a very solemn lesson.
After writing quietly for a while, the emperor raised his head and glanced at the princess, and said in a deep voice: “In the past, when you came to me, you always chattered and talked nonstop. What’s wrong today? It’s so quiet.”
The emperor also asked knowingly. Maybe he felt sorry for the princess, hoping that the princess would have a big fight with him, so that he could only be cruel and marry the princess out.
“What does the father think Ruohan look like, what is Ruohan look like,” the princess did not look up and responded with a clever smile: “The father never likes to say much when writing. When Ruohan didn’t understand, he now understands it.”
The princess gently placed the ink strips of ink on the inkstone and continued: “The father thought that the son was young and treated the son as a child and felt it hurt. But now the son grew up and understood a truth. Since the son had the glory and wealth and supreme glory of this princess, he should use the princess to solve the problems of the father. If it was to make trouble for a little bit of small things, it was not only the father, but also the father-daughter relationship between the father and the son.”
The emperor was used to seeing the princess making trouble. Now, when he suddenly heard her speak, he said in surprise and comfort: “Okay, okay, my Ruohan is now grown up and understands his father so well. Don’t worry, I have already thought about it. When you can marry, I will build a villa for you and the prince-consort of the frontier tribe. If you miss home, you can bring the prince-consort here to live forever. How do you think?”
The emperor was just talking, but he didn’t see the princess’s hand that was already tightly held under the table. She seemed to have tried her best to endure the tears that had flowed into her eyes. She raised her head again, and said to the emperor with red eyes: “Thank you for your kindness. “
The princess’ tone was very sad. Even Chu Nianhe, who was watching, couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable at this moment. Although the princess was older than her, she had already married and knew that marrying was the second rebirth. If the two had not been thinking about this matter, the princess would rather die immediately, and would not agree to it.
When the emperor saw the princess was sad, he didn’t know what to say, but sighed heavily. When the atmosphere was very sad, the sharp voice of the palace servant in charge came in from outside the door.
“Prince, the Madam Jin next to the Empress Dowager Ciyun Palace asked to see the emperor, saying that there was something important to report to the emperor. ”
“Madam Jin? “The emperor frowned and pondered for a while, but still put down the golden pen in his hand and said to the outside of the door: “Let her come in.” ”
