After staying up for several nights without sleeping well, Zhu Rong finally made up his mind. This morning, Zhu Rong got dressed properly and went to pay his respects to his aunt.
"Rong'er pays his respects to his mother and concubine."
Zhu Rong bowed with his hands folded, his voice soft and sweet. Just like in the past ten years, there was a bit of awe in his respect.
Yuan Min smiled slightly: "Get up!"
Zhu Rong thanked his aunt for her kindness and refused to sit down, insisting on standing and answering.
"A few days ago, my daughter thought carefully about what my mother and concubine said. My daughter agreed to the marriage. However, my daughter has one thing to ask my mother and concubine to agree to."
Zhu Rong looked Wen Jing and weak, but in fact she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, quite assertive. At this time, she raised her eyes to look at her aunt and said softly: "According to the custom in the palace, after the daughter gets married, she can live in her own princess mansion. I
I want to take my mother out of the palace with me."
Yuan Min: "..."
Yuan Min smiled and looked at Zhu Rong intently.
Zhu Rong has always been in awe of her aunt, and she has never dared to contradict her mother-in-law. This time, she mustered up all her courage: "I know this matter has embarrassed my mother and concubine."
"For these years, my mother has been living in a secluded courtyard, almost isolated from the world. For my father and mother, my mother is indispensable. My mother and I depend on each other. When I grew up, got married, and left the palace, I only
My mother is left alone, and she is really lonely."
"I beg my mother, concubine, to let my mother go out of the palace with me to the princess's mansion."
After saying that, Zhu Rong knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The children are growing up day by day.
Even if the elders keep silent about it, they are becoming more sensible and have their own ideas.
Yuan Min was in a complicated mood and said softly to Zhu Rong: "Sister Rong, this is really against the rules. Your mother is the famous grandson Liangdi. How can I not live in the East Palace and follow you outside the palace..."
Zhu Rong kowtowed three more times, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already wet: "This matter is indeed against the rules. I dare not tell my father, so I can only come to beg my mother and concubine."
"Concubine, just accept me! My mother is like a decoration in the East Palace. With her or without her, the East Palace will be the same. I can't live without my mother, and my mother can't live without me."
"If I leave the palace alone and my mother stays alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive for three to five years. I beg my mother, concubine, to give my mother a way to live."
After all, Zhu Rong was still a teenage girl. Her emotions were surging fiercely, and her tears fell like raindrops. They slid over her fair face, dripped on her clothes, and quickly soaked her skin.
Yuan Min sighed silently: "I have to consider this matter for a few days and discuss it with your father. You should step aside first!"
Zhu Rong was so excited when he heard that his mother-in-law's voice was loose, and he kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.
…
That night, the Crown Princess waited until her husband arrived late.
Zhu Yun spent the whole night criticizing the memorial. His eyes were dry and astringent, and he was quite tired. When he saw Yuan Min, Zhu Yun smiled and said: "It's so late, why are you still up and waiting for me to come back? Is there something important?"
?”
Yuan Min whispered: "Sister Rong came to see me today, and she has already nodded in agreement to the marriage."
Zhu Yun slightly raised his eyebrows.
Zhu Yun had long known about the Yuan family's request to marry Zhu Rong.
He watched Yuan Rui grow up. He was from a good background and had good character. He was the most outstanding son of the Yuan family in his generation. In the past few years, Zhu Yun had always regarded Yuan Rui as his future uncle.
However, he did not expect that Yuan Rui would like Zhu Rong... With his temper, he would not tolerate Yuan Rui to be so wanton and frivolous. How could Princess Tianjia have the right to be picky and picky?
However, Yuan Min loved this nephew the most and interceded for Yuan Rui personally, so Zhu Yun reluctantly nodded.
"Sister Rong has accepted the marriage, so let's get engaged first and wait three or four years before getting married." Zhu Yun said casually: "You look embarrassed, there must be some other reason!"
Yuan Min sighed and invited Zhu Rong to come one by one.
Zhu Yun did not hesitate at all: "Since you agreed to Sister Rong, then follow Sister Rong's wishes. When Sister Rong's princess palace is built, let the mother and daughter leave the palace together."
Yuan Min glanced at Zhu Yun: "Aren't you afraid of someone talking behind your back?"
The prince was fine and released Liangdi from the palace. It would not be nice to hear such news spread.
Zhu Yun stretched out his hand to hug Yuan Min into his arms and whispered: "She has been between you and me for more than ten years, and life has been difficult. Sister Rong feels sorry for her own mother and wants to take her out of the palace. There is nothing wrong with this.
.”
"Everyone talks behind my back, but they don't dare to say nonsense in front of me. As long as I don't hear it with my own ears, it means nothing."
Yuan Min hummed and snuggled into her husband's chest.
"Forget it, just follow Sister Rong!"
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s a new year again.
On New Year's Day, the Crown Princess announced the good news of Yuan Rui and Zhu Rong's engagement with a smile in front of all the ladies who came to the palace to pay their respects.
All the ladies opened their mouths to express their congratulations.
Amidst the congratulations from everyone, Mrs. Yuan smiled cheerfully and said: "Princess Rong is gentle, chaste and quiet, with a virtuous temperament. My brother Rui is able to win the favor of the princess. It is really a blessing he has cultivated in his previous life."
At this time, no one would mention what happened to Man Liangdi back then to spoil the fun, and everyone would take turns to praise Zhu Rong.
Soon, two sisters, Zhu Tang and Zhu Rong, came together.
Zhu Tang is seventeen this year. She is beautiful, calm and open-minded. Zhu Rong, standing next to Zhu Tang, has a delicate appearance and a hint of fragility in her quiet manner. She is indeed a very sympathetic and lovable girl.
Mrs. Yuan looked at her future grandson-in-law and couldn't help but smile and sigh to herself when she thought of her grandson who had fulfilled his wish and had a happy face all day long.
Yuan Rui finally got what he wanted. Princess Rong's request was unexpected. The Crown Princess did not mention it to the outside world, so naturally she wanted to tell Mrs. Yuan privately.
What can Mrs. Yuan say?
This marriage was begged by Yuan Rui from beginning to end. Afterwards, he married the princess and also gave a gift to his mother-in-law, who was of low status and was in an embarrassing situation... Forget it, the young couple lived their lives by themselves anyway. They had nothing to talk about.
Zhu Rong lowered his head habitually, with a smile on his lips. He rarely opened his mouth to speak, and could not see the joy of getting engaged.
Yuan Rui, on the other hand, was so happy that he didn't mind being teased by his companions. Shen Xu took the opportunity to drink a few drinks, and Mr. Yuan, who was so happy that he was so happy, responded without saying a word.
After getting his status, Yuan Rui could finally meet his fiancée shamelessly.
Throughout the New Year, the palace was noisy and lively, with people everywhere. When Yuan Rui saw Zhu Rong, there were always a bunch of people around him, and he couldn't even say a word in private. Finally, it was the Lantern Festival.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the imperial garden.
Yuan Rui held the lantern he had made by himself, and with a red face he gave the lantern to his fiancée: "Princess, this is the lantern I made myself, for the princess."
Zhu Rong raised his eyes and looked at his fiancé, who had a handsome face and was high-spirited. After a while, he reached out to take the lantern.
