“阿娘，我还是小孩子，但皇上不是小孩子了，阿娘可莫要把他再当成当年那个会亲亲热热喊你‘舅母’的小皇上看待了，天家可是最不讲亲情的地方。”既然把话说开了，程锦索性就把话说个明白。
程夫人若有所思地叹了口气，还记得先帝去的时候，她进宫服丧，年仅八岁的隆庆帝哭得满脸是泪，还是她拍着他的背哄他睡去的，也不知道从什么时候开始，那个小哭包已经长成了一个杀伐决断的君王。
“皇上已经大了，太后看似豁达，但毕竟掌管后宫这么多年，又正是精力旺盛的年纪，若是让她退居慈宁宫，不问世事，连宫务都无法插手，怕是不会甘心的。今后入主中宫的若真是崔相孙女，宫务是必要交到她手中的，后宫之后是什么个局面还不知道，皇上可不是个任人搓圆搓扁的性子，日后太后、皇上、皇后三方互相倾轧制衡，只怕可有的瞧了，咱们以后能不进宫便不进宫，还是远远避开了好。”程锦扯唇笑道，她是不怕后宫这些伎俩手段，但是承恩侯府的人都还是太过单纯善良了些。
“你……”程夫人不知该说什么好了，同女儿相比她还是太单纯了，“你说的对，后宫这滩浑水，阿娘是决计不会让你们去趟的，谁爱去谁去，你和阿钤，绝对不能进宫！”
哪怕冒着开罪程太后的风险，也在所不惜！程夫人下定了决心，心里反倒松快起来，跪了许久的膝盖也没那么疼了。
“你若是不愿意科举，等回去之后，我就给你和你大姐相看人家，无论如何不能再纵着你们了，皇上大婚前先把婚事给定了，好教太后死了这条心。”
“咳咳咳……”正在吃米糕的程锦立刻被呛着了，“阿娘，阿娘，我还未及笄啊！哪有这么早定人家的？”
“还有人未出生就定了亲的，你已经十一了，也不能算早的了，等早些帮你相看起来，免得像你大姐这般夜长梦多。”程夫人悔道，要早知道程太后有这个心思，程钤一及笄，她就给她定亲，也不至于会闹出祁王世子这么一出无妄之灾。
程锦“嘿嘿”一笑，“帮我相看可不容易。”
毕竟她傻了十几年，之前还有扛炉举鼎的壮举，这名声坏得恐怕连媒人都不敢登门，好人家看不上她，那些泼皮无赖，想必程夫人也看不上，这么一想，她便放下心来。
程夫人脸色一沉，纵然她不愿意承认，也明白程锦说的不差，她这样的情况想要嫁得如意郎君实在太难了，若是能缓几年，待她及笄之后，她的容貌必能惊动京城，想来那时候说亲要容易得多。
“你先照着太后和皇上的意思去女学读书，阿娘去寻范先生让他每日教导你经义，便在家中备考，此次秋闱你也悄悄地去参加，便是考不中也无妨，考不中还有下一回，你如此聪明，阿娘就不信你考不中。”
“阿娘，”程锦吃点心的模样很斯文，动作却丝毫不慢，“您刚从宫中回来就着急忙慌地给大姐定亲，让我准备读书考试，这事儿要是传到太后那里，恐怕她老人家是要震怒的，到时候大姐定亲和我读书的事儿都讨不到好。”
