Chen Xiaobao'er and Brother Yu and Brother Qin walked a few steps and suddenly noticed that there was no movement behind them. They stopped and turned around, and saw a pair of young men and women looking at each other lovingly.
One is handsome and the other is beautiful and bright.
One's eyes were full of tenderness, and the other's cheeks were flushed.
What a beautiful picture!
It’s so envy-inducing!
Chen Xiaobaoer was fine with that, and Brother Yu and Brother Qin were so sad that they were bubbling with pain. Brother Qin was quite narrow-minded and deliberately said: "How long do you two plan to stand there?"
Brother You, Aluo: "..."
Brother You's handsome face was red, but A'luo was upright and open-minded, smiling at Brother Qin: "When you leave the palace, I will go talk to cousin Fu."
Brother Qin immediately lowered his head and smiled: "You continue to stand and talk as long as you want. We are not in a hurry at all, it doesn't matter if we wait."
All the teenagers laughed out loud together.
A'luo also burst into laughter. She didn't argue anymore, sent the four of them to the palace gate, and waved goodbye to them.
The scarlet palace door opened and closed.
The young people stopped for a moment outside the palace gate, looking at the palace gate longingly.
Chen Xiaobaoer teased with a tongue-tied tongue: "No matter how long you wait, the palace gate will not open. It's better to go back home early to study, and try to pass the Jinshi exam next spring, and then come and ask for the wife of your heart."
Brother Yu rudely reached out and hit Chen Xiaobao'er: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Brother Qin followed up and knocked: "I've seen you dislike me for a long time. If you keep talking too much, I will go to the Zhao Mansion to find Uncle Zhao and remind Uncle Zhao that anyone who has not passed the Jinshi examination is not worthy of being the son-in-law of the Zhao family.
.”
Chen Xiaobaoer: "..."
Chen Xiaobaoer was shocked and immediately calmed down. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I will shut up now."
Brother You chuckled. Thinking of what A Luo just said, his heart was as sweet as drinking honey, too thick to dissolve.
…
Ah Luo said those words boldly, but she was not completely shy in her heart. What was more, she was filled with sweetness and joy. She returned to Jiaofang Palace in such a happy mood.
Xie Mingxi was so familiar with her daughter that she noticed A Luo's mood was different at first glance, and casually asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"
A Luo bit her lip, her cheeks flushed.
Xie Mingxi found it funny. With a glance, Xianghui and the others all left. There were only mother and daughter left in the dormitory. Xie Mingxi chuckled and asked, "Did Brother You say something to you?"
A Luo blushed and said, "It wasn't Brother You, it was me who took the initiative to ask him if he dared to marry me. Brother You had already nodded in agreement."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi, who was calm, self-possessed and seldom lost her composure, was shocked. She looked at Ah Luo speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Is she really old?
She really doesn't understand the world of young people.
Seeing her mother's speechless look, A'luo just felt funny and straightened her chest and said: "My mother often said that women are born like men. In this case, if men can do things like asking for a marriage, why can't women do it?"
"Brother You and I grew up together and are very familiar with each other's temperaments. He likes me and I like him. If I want a husband, I don't like anyone else except him."
"In this case, I want to confirm his intentions."
"However, the most important thing for me now is to join the court and listen to politics, learn to review memorials, and learn to do things as an errand. There are many things to be busy with. I am not in a hurry to get married. I will make an appointment next year and then get married in a few years.
"
Ah Luo had obviously already thought about it and had a plan.
Xie Mingxi was speechless again. After a moment, she said: "This is your lifelong event. Just think about it clearly."
A Luo's eyes lit up: "Mother, are you agreeing to me?"
"What else can I do?" Xie Mingxi calmed down and joked with a smile: "You have already kidnapped Brother You into the bowl. Can I still deny it?"
Ah Luo was so excited that she took her mother's arm and shook it: "My mother is so kind to me."
A Luo was slightly taller than Xie Mingxi. At this time, she was like a child, clinging to her mother and acting coquettishly. Xie Mingxi hugged A Luo with a smile, but felt sad in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, my daughter has grown up. She already knows how to coax...no, she takes the initiative and confesses her feelings to the young man she likes.
…
That night, Xie Mingxi told Sheng Hong exactly what happened during the day.
After hearing this, Sheng Hong didn't take it seriously, but grinned: "Well, she is indeed my Sheng Hong's daughter! She is quick and sure in her moves! When you meet someone you like, of course you have to put it into the bowl first."
Xie Mingxi rolled her eyes with a smile but not a smile: "You are quite proud! You thought the same way back then, so you tried every means to ask Lai Fengzhi for a marriage. I am only thirteen years old, so I am the meat in your bowl, right?"
Sheng Hong looked complacent and grinned: "I don't dare to praise you as a queen."
Xie Mingxi pinched Sheng Hong's cheek hard.
Sheng Hong immediately moved the other side of his face towards her and asked Xie Mingxi to squeeze it too.
We are an old married couple, and recalling the past is quite sweet. It is also very interesting to play tricks.
After some banter, the couple got down to business.
"In just over a month, Ah Luo will be getting her haircut." Xie Mingxi said with a smile, "Who will she invite to be the guest of honor at her haircut ceremony?"
A girl is considered an adult when she gets her haircut at the age of fifteen. The haircut ceremony is also the most important moment in a girl's life. The person who is the guest of honor is usually a respected relative and elder, and on that day, the haircut ceremony will be held for A Luo.
Xie Mingxi's hairpin ceremony, the guest of honor was Chief Gu Shan.
It was A Luo's turn to give her haircut, and those who were qualified to be the guests of honor were, in addition to Chief Gu Shan, Tai Fei Mei.
In terms of blood relationship, Princess Mei is A Luo's direct grandmother, so she is the most suitable candidate. In terms of relationship, Gu Shanchang and A Luo are closer and have a deeper relationship.
Xie Mingxi did not directly propose to Chief Gu, but asked Sheng Hong, thus letting Sheng Hong make the decision.
Sheng Hong was also a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Mingxi, I know that you and A'luo both want Mr. Gu to be the guest of honor. However, after all, the concubine is my biological mother and A'luo's grandmother. If A'luo has hairpins,
The ceremony was ignored and the concubine was so embarrassed."
As the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, Concubine Mei felt aggrieved because she could not be named Queen Mother because of the rules set by her ancestors. Furthermore, Concubine Mei had suffered a lot in the past year.
Sheng Hong is not hard-hearted, he obviously feels sorry for his mother.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and said: "Then the mother-in-law will be the guest of honor."
In fact, even if Mrs. Mei becomes the guest of honor, nothing will change.
It is an indisputable fact that A Luo is closer to Gu Shanchang and likes her more. Concubine Mei has a weak temperament and is extremely conservative. She often cries and makes trouble when things happen. Such a temperament makes it difficult for A Luo to get close to her and like her.
Gu Shan was a man of great talent and learning, open-minded, generous and loving. He loved Ah Luo very much, even more than the closeness brought by blood.
