The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 5 This painter is indeed sloppy
Li Xixiao touched the brand new carved door, and a faint smell of lacquer filled her nostrils. She had previously thought that the Queen's bedroom had not been damaged, but now upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was not that there were no signs of burning or destruction, but that it had obviously been repaired!
When he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the voice of Queen He coming from inside the palace.
"Your Majesty has really fooled me. Finding a consort for Tang Xing is a thankless job. There are very few officials and their descendants who can be selected. The local vassal states are ambitious and cannot be selected. In this case, choosing a consort is no different from marrying off a daughter of a commoner. The emperor really has good intentions."
It is now February, and the Queen's daughter, Pingyuan, has been lost and found again. Before she can calm down, she has to take care of Tang Xing's marriage. She is already dizzy.
I still remember that Pingyuan's wedding was just a simple formality, shabby and rude, but Tang Xing's marriage must not be casual.
Pingyuan has been depressed ever since this disaster, and refuses to see anyone. Now...
The queen couldn't help but sigh, for how could she not feel sorry for her daughter? Even if her heart felt like it was being cut into pieces, she couldn't help but feel guilty about her daughter.
The royal family must now be forced to carefully choose a husband for the last unmarried princess, Tang Xing.
"Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent that he must consider the princess's life-long affairs first. After all, Princess Tangxing is the only one who has passed the age of marriage but has not yet been married. If Princess Tangxing has found a home, Your Majesty will feel more at ease." The personal grandmother bowed humbly.
The Queen sighed, "Twenty years ago, after the Huang Chao uprising army captured Chang'an, the few princesses who did not escape died of humiliation, and those who escaped by chance were all married. Tang Xingsheng was born a few years later and then lived in the villa. She escaped the disaster caused by Huang Chao. Last year, Your Majesty was kidnapped in Fengxiang, and several vassal states were able to avoid it. It was also a kind of luck."
Li Xiying knew about the Huang Chao disaster, but after all, it happened before she was born, and she only heard it from her grandfather. Just now, the Queen said that her grandfather was kidnapped, and she felt sad, but one thing is for another, she didn't want to get married at this time!
The queen collected her thoughts and continued to look at the portrait in front of her calmly and gently.
“Your Majesty has also said that as long as the family is wealthy and the person is honest, he can be a commoner... Look at this child, he is not bad, he is handsome, and he is the legitimate son of the Governor of Shangzhou. It would be a good idea to marry him to Princess Tangxing.” Empress He nodded slightly, and then looked at Li Xiqi's portrait, indicating that she was very satisfied with her match.
Xi Xuan peeped in from the doorway and saw several rows of portraits hanging on a rack in front of Empress He. Most of them were of princes and nobles, and a few were of sons of merchants. All of them were portraits of young men in their twenties. The only portrait of a princess was particularly eye-catching. It was painted by a foreign painter invited by my grandfather at a palace banquet three years ago. She still looked very young.
The queen was seen standing next to Li Xi's portrait, and she sighed: "There are not many men who can match such a look. I can only be loyal to a man's character. I originally wanted to consider Cui Xiang's son as a match, but Your Majesty rejected it. Only this loyal minister can Your Majesty rest assured."
Following the direction of Empress He's slender finger, Xi Xuan saw the man in the portrait holding a fan, with handsome features. Just now, why did she feel that these men, except for their different clothes, had similar features, all with thick eyebrows, big eyes and peaceful smiles?
I don't know how they look different as they were carved from the same mold. The painter was really sloppy.
"I don't know whether this child is in good health or not. I hope he is not a sickly child." The queen thought that this was a task entrusted by the emperor. If she did not know the right person, it would be a thankless task and she would be blamed. However, since it concerned Tang Xing's lifelong happiness, she should be cautious.
Grandma smiled and said, "My queen, why don't you call the 'marriage trial princess' from yesterday to ask her."
"Okay, then did she go to the palace to listen to the announcement?" asked the Queen.
Li Xi was surprised. What does a trial marriage princess mean?
Her thoughts gradually became obscure, so she quickly stopped her thoughts. She saw Amber beside her covering her mouth with her hands in shock, and it was obvious that she was thinking the same thing.
Amber was surprised and couldn't hold back any longer, asking, "Princess, why is there a trial marriage?"
Li Xiying shook her head, her eyes stern, signaling her to be quiet and hide.
"Yes, she is waiting in the side hall. I will go and call her right away." Grandma said, then left the main hall and whispered in the maid's ear to call her over.
Xi Xi slightly turned sideways, holding Amber and hiding behind a big pillar until her grandma led a maid in palace dress into the room.
"Holy Queen, Holy Ann."
The maid looked straight ahead, with her head bowed and her waist bent.
"Hurry up and tell the queen everything that happened last night. Be sure to speak frankly." Grandma said to the maid.
"Yes." The maid blushed and continued, "After my inspection, your Highness is in good health. There is nothing unusual during intercourse, no bad breath, no rotten teeth, no bad habits, and he snores lightly when he sleeps, and his sleeping posture is the same..." The maid told him everything she knew, and she told him all the details, such as the duration, as if nothing had been left out.
Li Xi opened her eyes wide, her jaw dropped in shock. She felt a strange feeling of being kept in the dark.
It would have been fine if it was just selecting a prince consort, and it would have been fine if it had already been decided, but no one would have expected that they had actually sent a maid to test the prince consort's ability.
Has there ever been such a shocking thing since ancient times?
Li Xi's face turned red and she didn't dare to listen any further.
She had said before that Pingyuan was overthinking, but she hadn’t expected that the Queen had already made such... unexpected preparations.
When she entered the palace, she was thinking that her birthday, her mother's memorial day, and various grand festivals might be approaching... But she never expected that her grandfather summoned her into the palace just for her lifelong event, and even knew the physical conditions of the candidate prince consorts. It was really astonishing that he was so thoughtful and worried about it.
My grandfather said nothing when facing her. The whole court was badly weakened and he must have suffered a lot. What kind of move was he making by secretly choosing a prince consort at this time?
She didn't dare to think of the worst, and just thought that her grandfather had far-reaching plans for his daughter.
Amber's face was as red as the monkey's butt. It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock, because Li Xiying suddenly left the spot.
"male……"
Before she could even utter a word, her own princess bumped into the chest of a frail figure. On the chest, there was a yellow dragon pattern coiled, and it seemed as if it was about to take off.
Amber looked at her princess and the figure that was obviously His Majesty in sudden panic, and dared not say a word.
Although His Majesty's temples are slightly gray and he looks a little tired, his eyes are still as sharp as the wind, and a glance from him seems to be looking down on all living beings. But no matter how shocking his voice is to people's souls, his tone is gentle enough to make people put their worries aside.
"Where are you running to? Why are you so reckless?"
Her appearance is obviously different from three years ago. I can't help but sigh that my daughter has grown up, but her behavior is still childish.
The moonlight gradually became brighter. Behind him, his followers held lanterns and bowed their heads in silence, making all their figures appear clearer.
Xi Xi looked up at him. The emperor, who was wearing a loose robe, said angrily: "Grandpa, I am puzzled. I thought you summoned my daughter because you missed her, but I didn't expect that you just wanted to marry her off early. You must be upset if you can't see her!"
Her tone became weaker and weaker, and her voice became smaller and smaller. It was not because she was in the wrong, but because she hadn't seen Grandpa for a few years and he had become very thin and looked at least ten years older!
