Chapter 0 Extra 6 The Little Princess's Guard
From that day on, Song Zijin often held banquets with various names. Everyone gradually figured out that this was actually an attempt to choose a princess for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
The business of jewelry shops and clothing stores in the capital suddenly became prosperous.
The news spread quickly, and a month later, Chen Miaoqing, who was in Epiphyllum Village, got the news.
Master Chen is old and his eyesight is not very good. After retiring, he insisted on returning to Tanhua Village.
Chen Miaoqing was worried, so she brought her little daughter Wen Qingyun to see him off in person.
The original Su's and Chen's houses were well taken care of by local officials and were repaired every few years, so there was nothing wrong with the houses.
Chen Miaoqing has been away from here for seventeen years and she secretly misses this place.
But Wen Yan is the Grand Tutor and will be the Grand Master in the future, so it is impossible for him to leave the capital. She doesn't want to be separated from him, so she can only take this opportunity to live here for nearly a year.
When she heard the news from the capital, she could no longer stay there and returned to the capital with her little daughter Wen Qingyun the next day.
Yun'er just came of age this year. She and the prince have been childhood sweethearts and have secretly liked him since they were young.
She was afraid that Yun'er would regret it for the rest of her life if she missed the chance to meet the Crown Prince because she did not attend the Queen's banquet.
Wen Qingyun was nervous all the way. The prince had started the audition. Did he not like her?
"Mother, I wish you had given birth to me earlier. The Crown Prince must have treated me like a child... Is there no hope for me?"
Chen Miaoqing hugged her daughter and said, "When you go back, your mother will help you beat up your brother. If you were the first child, you would only be a few months younger than the crown prince."
Wen Qingyun was amused by his mother, sat up straight and sighed.
"Fate is determined by heaven. If the Crown Prince chooses another woman, I will also bless him. In fact, it's also good not to be the Crown Princess. I am too weak to manage the women in the harem."
Her father and mother were a couple for their entire lives, as were His Majesty and the Queen. She had been influenced by this and could no longer accept a man having three wives and four concubines.
But Wen Qingyun misjudged herself. She was like her mother, stubborn and could not let go of someone she liked.
So after returning to the capital, at the first banquet he attended when meeting the prince, he dominated everyone and displayed all he had learned throughout his life.
All the noble ladies pale in comparison to her.
The prince sat on a high platform, his eyes shining and a gentle smile on his lips.
The girl he had been waiting for for more than a year finally decided to come back.
——
In the 21st year of Zhaoming, the prince got married.
The next month after the wedding, Emperor Zhaoming announced to the world that he would pass the throne to the crown prince.
The crown prince ascended the throne and changed the reign title to "Renjing".
On a dark and windy night, the retired emperor finally carried the empress dowager, whom he had reluctantly parted with for half a year, onto the carriage, left the city under the cover of night, and headed towards Tan County.
He didn't like saying goodbye and didn't want to see his son sad, so he had already planned to leave secretly.
Song Zijin crossed his arms and turned his back, ignoring him.
"Ma'am, why are you ignoring me again?"
She used to ignore him like this because of those brats. Now that she's away from them, why is she still angry?
But this character was developed by himself, he can bear it and enjoys it.
"Dangdang is eighteen, and with Wen Yan around, there won't be any problems. But Lingling is a girl, and eighteen is not young anymore. I was thinking of staying for another six months to help her find a husband! You too, you've always loved Lingling the most, so why aren't you interested in marriage?"
Having said that, Xiao Linyuan felt wronged.
He came over with a wronged look on his face, and lay on the low table, looking at her eagerly.
"Why wouldn't I care? If I didn't care, how could I bring that beautiful little guard to Tan County with me?"
"What little guard?" Song Zijin was confused.
"Humph, your daughter was afraid you wouldn't agree, so she kept it a secret from you. But I have sharp eyes and saw through it a long time ago!"
Song Zijin thought for a moment, "Could it be the guy named Guihong who was beside Lingling?"
Xiao Linyuan nodded, "My daughter has grown up and doesn't even tell her mother about her thoughts anymore~"
Song Zijin didn't react for a moment.
Lingling has always been spoiled and has an impetuous personality. She thought Lingling would like a stronger man, but she didn't expect that she would actually like a guard?
The young guard seemed to be a taciturn person, and it was hard to imagine what these two people would look like together.
At this time, the carriage behind.
The little princess lifted the carriage curtain and leaned against the window to watch the returning wild geese outside.
"Honghong, my legs are numb~"
The palace maid Linglan, who was sitting in the carriage, shuddered unconsciously.
The princess used to be carefree, laughing and making noises loudly, and was very generous. How come she became so weak when facing Guihong?
Gui Hong turned his head to look at the little princess and said calmly, "Your Highness, are your feet or your calves numb?"
“Yes.”
"Then ask Miss Lily of the Valley to press down from the knees. It will be relieved in half a quarter of an hour."
He thought the little princess would pester him and force him to do things like before, but unexpectedly, she was very obedient this time. She lowered the curtain and told Lily of the Valley to do as he said.
After a moment, she lifted the carriage curtain again and said, "Honghong, Linglan's hands are too weak. Why don't you get on the carriage and help me?"
Gui Hong's Adam's apple rolled. "Men and women should not touch each other. I will tarnish the princess's innocence. How about we wait until we reach the post station ahead and find a female doctor for the princess?"
The little princess pouted. "Why do you need a female doctor?" The best female doctor in Dali was sitting in the carriage in front.
"Hmph, if you don't want to, then let Ning An come in and give me a massage!"
Ning An's face froze, and he quickly looked at Gui Hong, "Brother, what should we do?"
Guihong stared at the little princess with his peach blossom eyes, unblinking, full of accusations.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Either you come, or let Ning An come!"
After saying this, she lowered the curtain and closed her eyes to rest.
This idiot, if it isn’t him who comes up later, I will never like him again!
She would definitely ask her father to send him back and not want him to be a guard!
