Chapter four hundred and twenty seventh inner thoughts
Chapter 427: Inner Thoughts
Ninghe Palace is the residence where the queen sleeps, while Tai'an Palace is where the queen handles harem affairs on weekdays.
By evening, the Queen had already returned to Ninghe Palace, so it was impossible for Funing to go to Tai'an Palace again.
Soon, Funing arrived outside Ninghe Palace. The two young eunuchs on duty at the door saw Princess Funing and quickly bowed to say hello.
Funingli ignored the young eunuch and walked quickly to Ninghe Palace. The young eunuch did not dare to stop him, so he quickly winked at the maids in front of the palace, meaning to go and inform the Queen.
"Queen Mother, are you there? Queen Mother..."
Funing walked outside the main hall door and started shouting.
Immediately, the queen's voice came from inside: "It's Funing, come in..."
Funing crossed the threshold and entered the main hall, and followed the voice to the side hall on the left. Fushun stopped walking consciously and stood sideways outside the hall waiting.
In the side hall, the queen was sitting on the couch, and a palace maid was kneeling beside her, kneading and massaging the muscles of her legs.
"Queen Mother." Funing called immediately after coming in.
The Queen asked: "Fu Ning, why are you here at this time?"
Fu Ning smiled sweetly and said, "Fu Ning missed his mother, so he came..."
The queen immediately smiled, tapped her with her finger, shook her head and said, "You have such a little mouth..."
Funing walked up to the palace maid with a smile and said: "You go down first and let me come."
The palace maid hesitated slightly and quickly raised her head to look at the queen. The queen nodded slightly, so the palace maid did not dare to be suspicious. She stood up and bowed her head and exited the side hall.
"Mother, are you tired today? Let Funing come and beat your legs..."
After saying that, Funing stretched out his two small fists, squatted at the Queen's feet, and helped the Queen beat her legs.
The queen let Fu Ning beat her legs, looked at her with a smile and said: "Okay, okay, if you have something to say, don't do this with your mother."
When Fu Ning saw that he had been discovered, he couldn't help showing an embarrassed smile, and then said coquettishly: "Mother, why did you tell Fu Ning so quickly..."
The queen smiled even happier, and waited until the laughter subsided a little before asking again: "What exactly are you coming to see my mother for? Tell me..."
Funing stopped beating his legs, then slowly stood up and sat next to the queen, his face turned melancholy.
"Hey, what happened today? What makes our little princess so worried?"
The queen was surprised when she saw this. She usually only saw her daughter being unruly and willful, but she had never seen her sentimental. It seemed that her daughter had really grown up a lot and had things on her mind.
Funing looked up at his mother and summoned up the courage to ask: "Queen Mother, tell Funing which family of princes you and your father plan to marry Funing to in the future?"
"Huh?" The queen didn't react for a moment and looked at her daughter blankly.
Funing had no choice but to repeat it again, this time at a slower pace, and the queen realized that she had heard correctly.
"Fu Ning, why do you suddenly ask this?" The queen wanted to know her daughter's inner thoughts.
Funing didn't answer and continued to ask: "Queen Mother, please answer Funing's question first."
Seeing that Funing was extremely serious, the Queen said: "Funing, you are only eleven years old after the Chinese New Year. Your father and mother have not considered this matter yet. Why do you ask about it? Did you hear some rumors?
Rumor?"
The queen thought that if someone was talking nonsense, she would definitely not forgive him lightly.
Funing immediately shook his head: "No, Queen Mother, Funing didn't hear any rumors. Funing just suddenly thought of this, so I came to ask Queen Mother..."
The queen observed Funing's expression with doubts, and after feeling that she was not lying, she said: "Funing, since you took the initiative to ask about this matter, the queen mother will reveal some news to you... Actually, you
My father has a few candidates in mind, but I can’t say yet, after all, you are still young, and many things are not yet certain..."
Fu Ning's heart tightened when he heard this. He lowered his eyes and then immediately raised them, asking: "Fu Ning just wants to know what the Queen Mother thinks. Does the Queen Mother also want Funing to marry the children of those princes?"
These words made the queen feel a little difficult to answer for a moment. According to common sense, as a princess, Funing should marry the son of the prince. Only their status can match the princess.
But when facing Funing, the queen couldn't bear to say these words.
After thinking for a moment, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief, took Funing's little hand, and asked with loving eyes: "Fu Ning, you suddenly came to ask the Queen Mother about this matter, do you have any ideas? In this way, you tell the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will help you.
Please refer to the details..."
The queen secretly thought that it was Funing, the child, who didn't want to get married or was afraid of getting married, right?
Let's listen to what she says first. If it's true, we have to enlighten her...
But then, Funing's words denied the queen's thoughts: "Mother, it's not that Funing doesn't want to get married. Funing knows that as a daughter, she will eventually get married when she grows up, but...
But......."
"But?" The queen looked puzzled: "But what?"
Fu Ning's eyes suddenly became very firm and he said, "But Fu Ning doesn't want to marry a man she doesn't know casually!"
"How do you call it casual?" The queen did not agree with her daughter's statement, so she emphasized: "Fu Ning, what your father is looking for for you must be an outstanding son of a high-ranking official in the court. You can rest assured!"
Funing became anxious when he heard this. Doesn't he mean that he wants me to marry a man he doesn't know?
"Mother, why don't you understand what Funing means? What Funing means is...Funing wants to marry the man she likes!"
As soon as Funing finished speaking, the entire side hall fell silent. The queen looked at her daughter in surprise, never expecting that she would say such bold words.
"Fu Ning, did you go out and get too much cold wind?" the queen said as she touched Funing's forehead with the back of her hand.
Fu Ning quickly grabbed his mother's hand: "Queen Mother, what are you doing! Funing is fine and has no fever...Fu Ning came here after thinking carefully about it. Queen Mother, Funing already has a candidate for his consort.
Got it!"
"Ah?" The queen was shocked.
Funing looked into his mother's eyes and nodded heavily.
The queen tried to calm down and asked nervously: "Who is it?"
Funing did not mince words and said bluntly: "Mother, this man is familiar to you. He is Chai Yan who saved the crown prince's brother and was named Baron of Anping County."
"Who! Chai Yan?" The queen could not describe her astonishment in words.
Funing nodded vigorously again, looking at his mother with eyes full of expectation.
At this moment, the entire side hall fell into silence again...
