Chapter 513: Digging Wild Vegetables, the Heroine's Handkerchief Dating 4
After a pause, the princess continued, "But you have to write the rest of the book quickly. I'm waiting to read it."
Wei Fuxiao thought that he had appeased the princess and didn't need to continue writing.
You have to know that there were no computers in ancient times, and writing a novel with a brush was a huge project and extremely tiring.
She worked day and night these days and only managed to write this much.
Now, someone came to urge her to update in person. She could imagine the hard days she would have to endure in the future.
The eldest princess couldn't help laughing when she saw Wei Fuxiao's miserable expression.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just write it quickly, and then have someone send it to Mom when you're done.
I will give these to your father so that he can also see his daughter's masterpiece."
After saying that, the eldest princess took the manuscript written by Wei Fuxiao and walked towards the front yard.
Wei Fuxiao watched the princess walk away, then he lay down on the table in a very ungraceful manner, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
This made Liusu and Guiyue beside him laugh with their hands covering their mouths.
From that day on, the princess no longer looked at Wei Fuxiao with such worried eyes, nor did she always think about keeping her by her side, fearing that she would be bewitched by some man.
However, the princess would send someone to take away the new chapters of Wei Fuxiao's novels every day.
Wei Fuxiao later found out that the book she wrote had become a must-read for her parents every day.
My parents would discuss it together, and my father would join the princess in scolding the poor scholar in the book as a heartless man.
Just this storybook allowed them to strengthen their relationship by scolding the same person.
Speaking of my father, even though he is the son-in-law of the emperor, his status is actually not low.
He was the third son of the Yongchang Marquis's family, but he had loved calligraphy and painting since childhood and had no interest in studying for the imperial examinations.
He and the princess met when they were buying calligraphy and paintings. Later, they met several times at palace banquets and they had a good impression of each other.
The wife of the Earl of Yongchang and the eldest princess's mother, Concubine Xian, saw all of this.
The two elders communicated privately and found that both sides were quite satisfied with each other's children, and that the two children were also interesting.
So the virtuous concubine asked the emperor to grant them a marriage.
After so many years of marriage, they have always had a good relationship.
In addition to their daughter Wei Fuxiao, they also have two sons, both of whom are studying at Bailu Academy. One is Wei Fuxiao's older brother and the other is her younger brother.
It is said that the middle child in the family is easily neglected, but Wei Fuxiao is the only daughter in the family, so there is no such thing as being neglected.
I didn't see it, but a playmate had an accident, and now everyone is nervously watching their own children as well.
The eldest princess would go to the palace every month to pay her respects to the virtuous concubine. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the former virtuous concubine can only be called the virtuous concubine.
When Concubine Xian saw that only the eldest princess came, she asked, "Why are you alone? Why didn't your daughter come with you today?"
When this matter was mentioned, the eldest princess hurriedly took out the notebook written by Wei Fuxiao that she brought from home.
"Mother, please take a look at this. This is the notebook Nannan wrote after she saw the eldest daughter of the Liang family eloping with someone.
My daughter thinks it looks much better than those sold on the market.
Her daughter complained that she wrote too slowly, so she asked her to write the rest of the story quickly at home.
Before, my daughter was worried that Nannan would be influenced by Miss Liang if she always played with her, but now she is completely relieved.
Before reading the storybook written by my daughter, I never thought that in a family like ours, every girl would be followed by a bunch of maids and old women when she goes out, so how could she let a man from another family get close to her?
Besides, the places we usually go to are different from those people, so how come we ran into them?
Looking at this, everything is clear at a glance. Without any advance planning, it would be impossible for these two people to meet."
The virtuous concubine usually has nothing to do in the palace.
When I was young, I liked to make rouge and powder, play the piano and paint to pass the time.
Now that I’m older, I’m less interested in doing these things.
When she heard that it was written by her granddaughter, she immediately became interested: "Show it to me quickly. Our daughter can write a storybook now. It seems that she has really grown up."
The notebook that fell into the hands of Concubine Xian was much thicker than the original one.
At this point, the plot has reached the point where the last bit of jewelry of the rich girl was swindled away by a poor scholar, who said he was going to take part in the imperial examination.
After the rich girl gave birth to a child, her family was on the verge of running out of food, but the rest of the story ends there.
After reading the storybook, although Concubine Xian was also very anxious to know the sequel, she did not urge Wei Fuxiao to continue writing like the eldest princess.
She said slowly, “It’s quite interesting.
But don't let your children stay at home and write all the time, that's too tiring.
If that doesn't work, you can ask her to tell you.
Later, let Nannan live in the palace for a few days to accompany an old woman like me, so that I don’t have to be idle all day long."
If Wei Fuxiao knew this, he would definitely be shocked.
This cheap grandma's idea is quite fashionable. Isn't it the same as audio books in later generations? When you get tired of reading novels, you can listen to them instead.
But my mother was not happy.
"Mother, my daughter is already thirteen years old, and I'm planning to find a husband for her.
There are so many princes in the palace, and Nannan will inevitably have to deal with them when she enters the palace.
My daughter doesn't want her daughter to marry a prince in the future and live an uncomfortable life.
My daughter just hopes that our daughter can live a simpler life."
The virtuous Concubine said that because she was interested in the storybook. She was also reluctant to let her precious granddaughter suffer in the prince's mansion.
"You're right. They're all grown up now, so they need to avoid suspicion. But from now on, if there's new content every month, remember to send me a copy to cheer me up."
Okay, now there’s one more person asking for updates.
Concubine Xian then asked, "Speaking of finding a husband for our daughter, do you have a favorite family in mind? Tell me about it and I'll give you some advice."
The eldest princess and her mother did not hide anything.
"Not yet. My daughter and the Prince Consort are looking around. My daughter is hoping to find a family with a simple family, a quiet backyard, and decent family traditions.
Nannan's dowry is generous, and she will never have to worry about food and clothing in her life. As long as the man is sensible, life will be good.
In terms of marital relationships, my daughter believes that respect is more important than anything else. If the husband knows how to respect his wife, she won't feel wronged.
After hearing this, Concubine Xian nodded.
"You are right. This is what I thought when I chose a husband for you.
As a mother, I just hope that my child will live a safe and smooth life. If there are other things, that's even better. If not, as long as the child is doing well, what else is there to ask for?
Don’t be anxious, take your time to find out, I’ll keep an eye on it for you.
If there is anything good, we can communicate with each other and ask a few people who know the inside story.
Nannan is a princess, so there's no need to rush into marriage. Once you've found a suitable candidate, you can observe them for a few more years."
