The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The fifth elder brother and the third princess spent half a day at Acton's house, and the fifth elder brother opened up the chatter box, which was really eloquent.If it wasn't for the third princess' repeated urging, the fifth elder brother would be able to chat with others until dark.

When leaving, Acton actively went out to see off the guests.The third princess nodded at him, got on the horse and left without saying a word of courtesy.

Acton was like a young cabbage under the scorching sun, wilting all of a sudden.

Fifth elder brother patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, he fell in love with an incomprehensible woman, your life is hard.

Acton went back listlessly, and his parents looked at the rewards on the table with joy on their faces.

His mother smiled and said: "I used to hear people say that the princess is fierce and has a big temper. Only after meeting today did I realize that the rumors are not credible. The third princess is so kind! I am a lady in a deep house who has little knowledge and chatters. It is rare for the princess to be patient." chat with me for so long."

Acton's father said: "You are really fickle. You say bad things about the princess for a while, and good things for the next time. You can say all the good and bad things."

"I haven't seen the princess before! Now that I see it, my thoughts will naturally change."

Acton's Er Niang said to her son: "The third princess came to apologize solemnly, and the fifth elder brother came to accompany her. It can be seen that the princess cares about you. The emperor and queen mother rewarded these good things again, so she should be satisfied with you." .”

Acton became happy again, "So... the third princess doesn't hate me?"

Acton is very humble, he can't even imagine that the third princess would like him.

His father said: "I definitely don't hate you! Otherwise, why would you come to the door in person?"

He said to his wife: "I didn't think about letting the child be the lord before. I just wanted to let him marry an ordinary girl and be a rich and idle person. Now that the princess has taken a fancy to him, I think it is a good marriage."

"It's just that the princess is too capable. I'm afraid my son won't be able to convince her."

Acton's father scolded: "Quickly put away your stupid thoughts, that is the princess, even if she is incapable, your son will not be able to subdue her."

Acton's mother said uncomfortably: "I...I'm afraid my son will be wronged..."

Acton whispered, "I'm not afraid of being wronged."

His mother-in-law sneered, "Hey, you're willing to be wronged before they mention marriage! At home, if I say one thing to you, you can argue with me three times. It's said that girls are extroverted, huh, so is my son!"

Acton just laughed.

His father said: "It's about this time, what's the use of complaining about it? Be serious! The emperor has revealed that he wants to get married, we have to give an answer as soon as possible, and we can't keep the emperor waiting."

He praised the emperor casually, "Our sage is really a reasonable and good emperor. In other dynasties, it is your blessing to have you as a concubine. Who dares to refuse!"

Akton actively urged his father, "Ama, hurry up and enter the palace! You...you are like the fifth elder brother, talk more about me in front of the emperor."

His father's heart is also sour, the son is too big to stay!

The son here is in a hurry to get engaged, but the third princess is not in a hurry.It can't be said that she is not in a hurry, it should be said that she was completely unaware of Acton's love.

"Is your brain broken!" Fifth elder brother yelled, "With your brain, you are still in business? How could you not know that Acton likes you? You were so kind when you talked to his parents just now ah!"

"Of course you have to be polite when you are a guest at someone else's house!" The third princess felt that this was not a bad thing for her. "I scared Acton like a grandson. Who would have thought that he would like me? Do you think he is out of his mind? "

The fifth elder brother agreed with the third princess' point of view, but as a matchmaker, he couldn't say that.

"This time you saved him, and he felt your heroism, so naturally he secretly agreed! Third sister, you have caused a mess in his heart, you have to take responsibility!"

The third princess nodded casually, "Okay! Then take responsibility!"

The fifth elder brother thought that this attitude was wrong!The third sister was not excited at all.It's a matter of life, her attitude is too perfunctory!

"Third sister, don't you like Acton? If you don't like it, forget it. I'll find you a better one."

The third princess said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. If there is a fool who is willing to marry me, that's him. You don't have to pick and choose. It's just a marriage. It's not a big deal."

The fifth elder brother disagreed very much. Marriage is a major event in a lifetime, and it is such a rare thing to be truly liked by others.Especially those born in the royal family, most people choose them for their own interests.

The fifth elder brother intends to have a good chat with his sister, so he must change her mind.The third princess knew him too well, and she knew that he was going to make a big move just by seeing his momentum.

She flicked her horsewhip, and quickly said to Brother Fifth: "I have to leave beforehand, take my leave, just leave now, there will be a later date!"

Fifth elder brother gritted his teeth angrily.

snort!If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple, I can always find a chance to nag you!

The fifth elder brother returned to the palace, first went to pay his respects to the emperor, and then talked about the meeting with Acton's family today.The emperor told him to wait a while, and after he finished his work, they went to Ningshou Palace to meet the queen mother together, so as not to have to say it a second time.

When they arrived at the Ningshou Palace, Qiqige was considerate of her grandson's hard work, so she ordered someone to bring yogurt, and cut up a lot of fruit and nuts for her grandson to mix with yogurt.

The fifth elder brother took a bite of yogurt and added a lot of honey to it, "It's still the emperor's grandmother who loves me, knowing that I've been running all day so hard."

The emperor laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, did I treat you badly?"

The fifth elder brother shook his head with a smile, "No, no, I won't even give me a cup of tea when I arrive at Huang Ama's place."

The emperor scolded: "My good tea has been fed to the dog's stomach, and in your mouth, I have become a stepfather."

Qiqige smiled and said: "Emperor, don't be angry, it's not that you are bad, but that I am too kind. There are not many people in the world who are as considerate and gentle as me!"

The emperor reluctantly agreed, "Yes, yes, the queen's mother is the most gentle and kind person in the world."

Qiqige always felt that he used puns, was he gentle and kind or gentle and irritating?

Fifth elder brother Xilihulu drank a bowl of yogurt, wiped his mouth and talked about the marriage of the third princess.

He first showed his merits and let Huang Ama and Huangma know his hard work.

"When I arrived at Acton's house, I kept saying good things about the third sister, and praised the third sister into a flower. Relying on my eloquence, the third sister was not a fairy, but I was praised as a fairy. This I'm tired and my voice is hoarse."

Qiqige patted him on the forehead, "It's so long-winded, who wants to listen to you! How about Acton's parents?"

The fifth elder brother rubbed his forehead, "I only met once, and I can't tell anything. I see that they are very polite. If they can understand what I mean, they should ask to see Huang Ama in these two days. Huang Ama answered one by one. I think Acton is very willing, and my son is willing, but I can't hold back my son."

The emperor nodded, feeling very happy, "Your third sister's marriage will probably be successful, you are a matchmaker, you should take the lead!"

The fifth elder brother pretended to be humble and said: "My son dare not take the credit and be proud, but Huang Ama insists on sending a car of matchmaker gifts, and my son will definitely not refute Huang Ama's kindness."

The emperor scolded: "Stinky boy, if you praise you for being fat, you will be out of breath!"

Fifth elder brother raised his eyebrows and smiled, then became worried again.

"Third Sister is not very concerned about marriage. She knows Acton's thoughts and doesn't express anything. It's just the same as usual. She doesn't seem to care who she marries."

Qiqige guessed: "Does she not want to get married? If she doesn't want to, let's not force her to marry. Why can't she live a lifetime?"

The emperor said: "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry? What will happen when I get old?"

Qiqige doesn't like to hear these words, "Our third princess is also a rich and powerful old lady when she gets old. She goes out to do things when she is energetic, and raises a theater troupe to pass the time every day when she is not energetic. Being an emperor is easy!"

Qiqige is getting old, the emperor doesn't hold back against her, and just speaks along with her. "Yes, I sleep at three o'clock and get up at five o'clock every day. No one is more relaxed than me."

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Of course what the imperial grandmother said is the most reasonable, but a good marriage has come, we can't let it go easily! Let's do this! I'll go talk to Acton and ask him to please the third sister. If The third sister fell in love with him, and everyone is happy. If the third sister really doesn't like him, then Acton can only be wronged, after all, twisted melons are not sweet."

Both the emperor and Qiqige think this is a good idea.

The fifth elder brother pretended to sigh: "Oh! I'm such a hard worker. The man's house and the woman's house ran back and forth, and they made me lose weight."

The fifth elder brother rubbed his waist, "My waist has lost three inches. I have to add another cart to the matchmaker's thank you gift, otherwise I won't accept it."

The emperor smiled and said: "You started asking for rewards before the matter is finished! I promise you, if your third sister's marriage is consummated, I will give you two carts of gifts."

Fifth elder brother took the opportunity to raise conditions, "In addition to thanking you, you have to let me go out of the palace to be a teacher."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "I can only agree to this after all three of your sisters are married."

Ever since he captured this little fool, Acton, Fifth Prince's self-confidence has been extremely inflated.

"Just look at it!" Fifth elder brother bowed his hands and said goodbye, "I'll go back and hurry up to rest, and I'll go find Acton tomorrow!"

The next day, the fifth elder brother got up early and went out of the palace to find Acton.

Acton's father also got up early and went to the palace to discuss the marriage of his children with the emperor.

Acton's mother got up earlier, and she found several books on female rings and female virtues to teach her son how to serve the princess.

"When you become a son-in-law, it's different from when you were at home. What is a son-in-law? It means marrying into the royal family! Alas! When I think of you becoming a son-in-law, I feel uncomfortable as a mother-in-law!"

Acton persuaded Er Niang with a smile, "It's such an honor to be Er Niang! Er Niang really thinks too much."

"You child! How do you know the suffering of a door-to-door son-in-law? The princess is the master, and we are slaves. This is very different from marrying a wife! Forget it, when you are happy now, no matter how much I say, you will not be happy." Willing to listen. Don't go out these few days, stay at home obediently and learn the female precepts from me. Oh, yes, you have to learn how to take care of the house and take care of the children!"

Acton doesn't want to learn this, he still wants to find the third princess!

Of course, the mother-in-law saw her son's reluctance, so she poked her son's forehead resentfully.

"You are really the little magic star in my life! Do you think I am willing to teach you this? Isn't there no way? What kind of character is the third princess? She is in charge of all the business transactions of the charity hall at a young age, and she can also subdue Live with a group of old men as subordinates. Are you expecting the princess to give up her business and go home to raise her husband and raise her children after marriage? It’s good that she doesn’t take concubines!”

Acton didn't believe Er Niang's words, "How could a princess take a concubine? Er Niang tried to scare me."

"Oh, fortunately you have read books. In the history books, Wu Zetian became an empress and kept a male favorite! Men and women are the same, and everyone wants to accept children when they have power. Huh, just like you, Ama, you just became an official. ! There are a bunch of concubines and housekeepers, I don’t think he is doing very well as an official, and it’s not because of the shadow of his ancestors.”

Acton couldn't understand why Er Niang became agitated as she spoke, and her anger burned on Ama.

His mother held Acton down and insisted on teaching him how to serve the princess.She was angry, and Acton didn't want to provoke her, so he could only obediently listen to the male virtue course.

The male moral course is very simple, just replace the female characters in female Delhi with male characters.

Acton's mother was really doing it for his own good. She took the time to teach her son how to read the books, how to manage his servants, and how to get along with relatives.

Acton was dizzy when he heard it, and wished he could faint.Fortunately, the fifth elder brother came at this time, and Acton was freed.

"Fifth elder brother, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise the servant will make Er Niang read to death."

The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "It's good that you and I are commensurate between us, don't worry about those cumbersome rules. What is Madam talking about, making you so upset?"

Acton was embarrassed to say that he was learning male virtue, so he vaguely said it.

"Brother, is there something wrong here?"

The fifth elder brother pretended to sigh: "My third sister has been concentrating on doing business all these years, and she doesn't care much about life-long affairs! I am worried for her!"

He raised his arms around Acton's neck, leaned close to Acton's ear and whispered: "There are some things we can't say clearly, but I think you should understand. You are a man, you should take the initiative, and you can't wait for others to take the initiative." .dont you agree?"

Acton was both excited and impatient.

He understands the meaning of the fifth elder brother. The emperor should agree with him to be the lord, but the third princess has no intention of him. The emperor has to consider the meaning of the third princess.

Acton whispered: "I want to give the third princess some gifts. I wonder what the third princess likes?"

Fifth elder brother patted Acton on the shoulder vigorously.

"Girls! Of course they like gold and jade jewelry!"

The fifth elder brother thought to himself that the children in the palace were all influenced by the emperor's grandmother, so it must be impossible to go wrong with giving gold, silver and jewelry!

Acton also felt that the fifth elder brother was right. His mother-in-law and sisters in the family were very fond of jewelry.

Acton said excitedly: "Wait a minute, brother five, I'll get ready right away!"

Acton ran back to the backyard to find his mother, "My mother, did you make a set of jewelry a few days ago?"

"It's not a complete set of jewelry, two green bamboo glazed bracelets, one red coral bracelet, and a pair of white jade bracelets with embossed and intertwined patterns. You are a boy, why do you ask this?"

"Er Niang, give me these bracelets and bracelets! I'll take them to the princess!"

Acton's mother felt like a cannon in red, and his son was the gunner who ignited it.

She exploded immediately, "Everyone says that my daughter is a loser, but I think you are a loser! You haven't written your horoscope yet! You are rushing to give gifts! If your brain is broken, stay at home obediently and don't go out It's a shame, my dowry can afford to support a stupid son!"

Acton: "I don't want my mother to raise me, I...I want the princess to raise me..."

Acton's mother-in-law: "..."

Sure enough, the son was too big to stay, so Acton's mother-in-law gave him all the newly made jewelry.

"Take your things and go! Don't go home these two days, and don't come to the main courtyard when you go home. I'm upset when I see you!"

After getting the jewelry, Acton and the fifth elder brother immediately went to the charity hall to find the third princess.

Fifth elder brother knew that he was not suitable to appear in the next scene, and he didn't want to be that obtrusive person, so he offered to wait for Acton in the teahouse outside.

The concierge of the Charity Hall informed Acton, and the third princess gave him face and immediately invited him in.

The third princess was still busy, so she asked Acton to sit down.Acton held the jewelry box nervously, and obediently sat opposite the three princesses.

The third princess asked Acton what he was doing here while writing, but Acton was clumsy and couldn't speak well.

He handed over the jewelry box in a naive manner, "Give something to the princess."

The third princess opened the box and took a look, then closed the box.

"Thank you for your trouble."

After saying this, the two of them had nothing to say.

Acton blushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands or feet.

He stood up in a panic, almost tripping himself with his left foot and right foot.

"Since the princess is busy, I... I won't bother."

After speaking, they walked out with hands and feet, and when they went out, they remembered that they didn't salute, and hurried back, saluted and left.

Brother Wu just ordered a pot of tea, and before the tea was brewed, Acton came out.

"Yo! Why did you come out so soon? My third sister showed your face?"

Acton said with a sad face: "The princess is very kind, I am too stupid, I don't know what to say after delivering the things, I just... I came out."

The fifth elder brother secretly scolded him for being worthless, you have to wait a while longer!

The duplicity fifth elder brother hurriedly comforted the silly future brother-in-law, "It's okay, I have no experience for the first time, let's be more prepared in the future, and come over when we think about something to talk about at home."

Acton nodded sluggishly, this was the only way to see it now.

Fifth elder brother asked: "Did my third sister collect the things?"

"Accepted, the princess said thank you for your trouble."

Fifth elder brother frowned, a little cold!

Acton was very sad, as if he had lost his love. "The princess doesn't like me."

The fifth elder brother didn't know how to comfort him. If he said that the third princess didn't like anyone, would Acton feel better?

When the fifth elder brother was worried, the third princess sent someone to deliver a box containing two suet jade pendants.

"Hey, this jade pendant is really good in quality, and the carver is also good." The fifth elder brother laughed, "You guys are giving each other a token of love!"

Acton was even more disappointed, "The third princess doesn't want to owe me anything, she wants to break up with me."

The fifth elder brother thought: Indeed, there is also this possibility.

Acton bowed in despair and left.

Brother Wu didn't stop him, he was dying of anxiety, Acton didn't want to back off, did he?

Acton didn't back down, he was just disappointed.He felt that if he was not good at writing, he would not be good at martial arts, no wonder the princess looked down on him.

Acton thought he must show the princess his manliness.Otherwise, even if it means marriage, the princess doesn't have herself in her heart.

In order for the princess to see his transformation, Acton began to practice riding hard.The third princess has seen his riding skills before, this is the most intuitive way for the princess to see her progress.

When practicing hard riding, Acton did not forget to give gifts to the princess.

Today is cloth from the south of the Yangtze River, tomorrow is fruit from Zhuangzi, and the day after tomorrow is glass mirrors from the West. Every day the gift is different.And Acton didn't forget the people around the third princess, and often sent people to deliver sweet soup and snacks to them.

The third princess accepted all the presents and returned them to him.

Every time I see Acton returning gifts, I feel depressed. The princess is too polite, and the princess doesn't like him.

The emperor, Qiqige and others are also paying attention to Acton's love progress, and even want to make suggestions for Acton.

After more than a month, Acton finally practiced his riding skills. He felt that he could spin and jump on the horse, so he immediately sent a post to the third princess, inviting her to go out for a ride.

Acton waited anxiously for the reply from the third princess, but unexpectedly the third princess agreed to his invitation, which made Acton ecstatic.

On the day of going out to play, Acton changed into his best clothes, put on the jade pendant given by the princess, and happily went to greet the princess at the gate of the imperial city.

Seeing Acton, the third princess raised her hand and said hello, "Come here so early!"

Acton nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

He held the reins tightly, stared straight ahead, and straightened his back, not looking at the princess at all.

The third princess found another topic, and Acton replied with one word, and then stopped talking.

The third princess wondered what is wrong with this man, is he so taciturn?

I dare not ride too fast in the city for fear of bumping into pedestrians, so I dare not ride faster until I get out of the city.

When he arrived outside the city, Acton took a deep breath and said forcefully to the princess: "Princess, please watch my equestrian skills!"

He has endured all the way, and now he finally has a chance to perform!

The third princess frowned, she thought to herself, Acton is quite courageous!How dare you speak to me so loudly!

Acton looked ahead, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and was about to rush out with a flick of the rein.Unexpectedly, his foot slipped, and his left foot slipped out of the stirrup. Because of inertia, his body fell to the left involuntarily.

Acton's face turned pale, it's over, if it doesn't exist with admiration, he will be embarrassed again!

The third princess quickly supported his arm, and put his other hand on his waist to send him back to the horse.

The third princess shook her head and laughed, "What? Asked me out early in the morning, and you're still nervous, is it just to throw yourself into your arms?"

Acton's face was no longer pale, and his whole body was red.

Seeing that the princess didn't scold him for being incompetent, but supported him again, he became bolder all of a sudden.

He bit his lip and nodded slightly, "Yeah!"

The third princess was overjoyed, she smiled and lightly pecked Acton's red ear.

"Little fool!"

Acton's ears became even redder, almost burning.

He shyly grabbed the sleeve of the third princess, "And..."

The third princess squeezed his face, "Don't be ashamed."
