281 Difficult
Yan Yunnuan originally had a good impression of the eldest princess, and had long heard the love story between Ming Guogong and the eldest princess. People can't help but feel sorry that Ming Guogong died young on the battlefield, leaving behind the eldest princess and a pair of in-laws, of course, there are other concubines and concubines in the house. Of course, there was also the Dou family who embarrassed her everywhere, relying on her being the mother-in-law of the eldest princess, and no one dared to say anything.
The eldest princess squinted: "You are here, don't be polite, sit down quickly! You all go down, this palace has something to say to the second young lady." There were only two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the room, and the eldest princess's looking at her made her feel very uncomfortable. But what should be endured has to be endured, no matter what the eldest princess asks, Yan Yunnuan answers humbly. "Since you are married to the Ming State Mansion, you should have the rules of being a wife. From tomorrow onwards, you will come to Hongu every day to say goodbye, and Hongu suddenly feels some discomfort in your shoulder, so you come to Hongu for a massage. ”
Yan Yunnuan walked over obediently and gently massaged the eldest princess a few times, but she didn't expect the eldest princess to pick and choose, one would say that the strength was not good, and the other would say that it was too painful. Yan Yunnuan didn't know what to do, so she could only endure it. For the sake of her being Mo Linzi's biological mother, she can only swallow it in her stomach. The saint wanted to send Mo Linzi to escort the second princess to the Northern Qi Kingdom and relatives, Mo Linzi had only been married for three days, and he had just accompanied Yan Yunnuan back to the door, and he encountered such an errand.
Without saying anything for a while, the saint got up from the dragon chair and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "There are not many people I can trust in the court, and I know that there are some difficulties for you. But I can't help it, so I asked you to escort the second princess to the Northern Qi Kingdom. Don't worry, when you come back, I will definitely give you a few days off so that you can stay with your daughter-in-law well. ”
If he could, the Holy One would not have spoken to him in a low voice. Mo Linzi can only take on this tricky errand, the first emperor had given Mo Linzi and the second princess a marriage before, and later said that the marriage was abandoned. It is inevitable that Yan Yunnuan will have some pimples in her heart, and Mo Linzi will explain to her when she goes back. For the time being, he has not announced it to the public, but he only talked to Mo Linzi to let him be prepared.
Dingbei Hou always felt that Yan Yunchun seemed to have changed a lot today, although he didn't have a good face for him, he didn't have a straight face. Dingbei Hou stepped forward unhurriedly: "Chun'er." "Dingbei Hou, you are really powerful, even Xiao Jiu was moved by you. ”
As soon as he heard the three words Dingbeihou, he knew that Yan Yunchun knew his identity, and hurriedly explained: "Chun'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I always felt that I was me, and it had nothing to do with identity." The other nine girls are willing to help me speak, presumably because they know that I can be good to you and the child, and they are touched by me. Chun'er, if you have any dissatisfaction, even if you vent it, don't feel bad anymore. ”
At first, Yan Yunnuan didn't want to tell Yan Yunchun about the identity of Dingbei Hou. Then I thought about it, maybe they didn't care about the identity of Dingbei Hou, but maybe Yan Yunchun cared, and besides, this matter couldn't be hidden from her all the time. There will always be a day when you know, so it's better to tell her sooner. By the way, it was good for Dingbei Hou to be embarrassed, but unfortunately she couldn't see this scene.
Yan Yunchun glanced at Dingbei Hou lightly, "You are the high-ranking Hou Ye, and I am just a folk woman, I'm afraid I am not worthy of the Hou Ye." "Chun'er, I don't allow you to say that, you are the girl I like, no matter what you are, I like it. Chun'er, I want to take care of your mother and son, give me a chance, okay? I know, I said this a little abruptly, I won't force you, I'll give you time to think clearly before replying. ”
I don't want to hear the answer from Yan Yunchun's mouth so quickly, maybe the answer is not what he wants. In fact, she has thought a lot about it these days, Yan Yunnuan is right, and as her younger sister, Yan Yunnuan will naturally think about the future of her and the child in her womb. I don't want her to work so hard, besides, the child in her belly is not her alone, and the Dingbei Hou in front of her also has a share.
should let him take on the responsibility of being a father, but after knowing the identity of Dingbei Hou, she was a little hesitant. They are not in the right household, she has been married before, even if she is free now, there will still be gossip. Yan Yunchun nodded lightly: "Master Hou, you let me think about it." "Well, Chun'er, don't worry, don't worry, I have time. Dingbei Hou took advantage of the situation and hugged Yan Yunchun excitedly, seeing that she was not angry, he felt a little more sure in his heart.
It seems that what Yan Yunnuan said is really right, Yan Yunchun looks very powerful, but in fact, it is a knife-mouthed tofu heart. The Queen Mother originally wanted to talk to the second princess, but who knows, she got the news that the Holy Lord insisted on letting the second princess go to the Northern Qi Kingdom to make peace and contribute to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It was obvious that he didn't listen to what she said to the saint, and he planned to let Mo Linzi escort the second princess to kiss, but it was a shame that he thought of it.
The Queen Mother immediately went to the Holy Emperor's Imperial Study, and the Holy Lord didn't expect the Queen Mother to learn so quickly, anyway, she had already mentioned it to her. I didn't see her objecting badly, "Holy Lord, the mourning family doesn't agree to this matter!" "Queen Mother, I naturally have my plans, and please rest assured that everything I do is for the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, if the Queen Mother is not at ease, I can completely put the three princes under house arrest in the capital." ”
Not letting him go to the fiefdom is, "Holy Lord, the mourning family doesn't mean this, the mourning family just thinks it's too risky for us." After all, the queen mother is still not worried about letting the second princess marry, if she is not favored, it is fine, once she is favored, she may be able to do something. Mo Linzi returned to the house, why didn't he see Yan Yunnuan, and only after asking Tian Wu did he know that Yan Yunnuan was called over by the eldest princess.
He went to the study and didn't think much of it. The eldest princess saw that it was not early, "Okay, I'll be here today, and I'll come back tomorrow to massage the palace, let's go!" Yan Yunnuan left respectfully, out of the courtyard, Ye Qing asked in a low voice, "Madam, are you okay!" Seeing that she was a little more tired between her eyebrows, he stared at her with concern. Shaking his head gently: "I'm fine, let's go back!"
Yan Yunnuan was reluctant to say more, thinking that Mo Linzi should go home. The eldest princess is really powerful, and on the surface she likes her daughter-in-law very much, but in fact it still needs to be tested. The servants left, leaving her alone in the house to massage the eldest princess, and she never stopped. Her hands are almost sore, hey! I originally thought that the eldest princess would come to the door to propose marriage, and she must not be far behind.
Everything was too simple for her to think, and just sat down to rest for a while and eat a few snacks, when she saw Mo Linzi coming over and said affectionately: "Nuan'er, I'm back." Of course, Mo Linzi didn't take the initiative to ask Yan Yunnuan what the matter was when she went to the eldest princess's courtyard, and according to her temperament, she wouldn't sue behind her back. I think the eldest princess just wants to hone her temperament, maybe it will be fine in a few days.
But I didn't expect that the next day, Mo Linzi had just left for the yamen with her front foot, and the grandmother in the courtyard of the eldest princess on the back foot invited her over. In fact, there is no need for grandma to come, Yan Yunnuan also knows that he should go to the eldest princess to say goodbye, this is impossible to escape! Dingbei Hou took advantage of the situation to be very good to Yan Yunchun, this time he specially brought a lot of small clothes for the child, as well as small shoes, looking at Yan Yunchun really liked.
I really didn't expect him to have such a noble status, and he could carefully prepare these things for the child, which shows the status of the child in his mind. Thinking about it like this, Yan Yunchun had a little more affection for the Dingbei Hou in front of him. "Chun'er, I heard that the incense in the City God Temple is very spiritual, otherwise I would accompany you to pray for our children today, what do you think?" Dingbei Hou didn't dare to make his own decisions, and wanted to ask for her opinion.
Yan Yunchun is always stuffy in the house, and the housekeeper doesn't dare to let her out of the house at will, after all, she is about to give birth, and everyone in the house treasures her. Yan Yunchun's heart has long been itching, and he wants to go out for a walk and relax. Dingbei Hou took the initiative to propose, which was really in line with her heart. However, it should be reserved and still need to be reserved, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you and me to go together!" Yan Yunchun frowned, and Dingbei Hou hurriedly said: "Chun'er, if you don't feel at ease, I will dress up as a little girl and accompany you, and no one will say anything." ”
As long as he can accompany Yan Yunchun and the child, he is willing to use no matter what kind of identity he uses. Unexpectedly, Dingbei Hou would say such a thing, and Yan Yunchun did not ease up for a while. After a while, Yan Yunchun shook his head gently: "Master Hou, let's go like this, then everything will be arranged by Lord Lao." "Don't bother, don't bother, Nachun'er, you wait, I'll arrange it, and we'll be able to leave the house soon." ”
Dingbei Hou got up and left with a smile on his face to arrange the departure from the house. Before Yan Yunnuan got married, he had instructed the housekeeper that as long as he paid more attention to the arrival of the Marquis of Dingbei in the mansion, there was no need to be surprised if there was no abnormality. The housekeeper is also a person who has come over, and the Marquis of Dingbei looked at Yan Yunchun's eyes, very affectionate, and he was relieved. At this moment, Yan Yunnuan was beating her back in the eldest princess's house, and she couldn't stop without her talking, so she could only keep going.
There were no other maids in the house, or else they could testify to her, and the eldest princess seemed intent on embarrassing her. It's just that I don't want Mo Linzi to know that Yan Yunnuan can't continue like this, so he has to find a way. Although the eldest princess said that her eyes were closed, she was always awake.
"Why don't you continue?" suddenly saw Yan Yunnuan behind him when he opened his eyes and blamed him, "Mother, my daughter-in-law just feels that her arm is a little sore, and she wants to rest for a while, and I ask my mother to forgive me." Yan Yunnuan is not a submissive person, the eldest princess glanced at her coldly, "Hmph, you just gave Bengong a beating on the back for a while, and you feel tired." If that's the case, you can go back and rest!
Yan Yunnuan could hear this angry tone completely, since this was the case, then why didn't she leave obediently. "Thank you for your understanding, my daughter-in-law will retire and come back tomorrow morning to say goodbye to my mother. Yan Yunnuan quickly left the eldest princess's house, and walked out of the courtyard feeling much more relaxed. The eldest princess really didn't expect her to leave, got up hard, picked up the teacup on the desk and threw it on the ground.
Damn, Yan Yunnuan, this girl just doesn't have a tutor, if she is replaced by other ladies in the capital, who would dare to do this! Ye Mei saw that Yan Yunnuan was back, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and greeted her: "Madam, you are back, the slave maid has something to say to you." He glanced at her seriously, and then nodded: "Well, come in and talk!" After Ye Mei closed the door, she knelt at Yan Yunnuan's feet, "Madam, the slave is guilty, please punish Madame." ”
Ye Mei has not been by her side for a long time, but to her, she is quite loyal. Yan Yunnuan sighed: "Okay, get up! The previous things are over, so don't mention it again." Besides, Ye Qing has already told me that you are also forced to do so, and I don't blame you for selling the deed. Gently helping Ye Mei to get up, Ye Mei hurriedly shook her head: "Madam, don't be so good to the slave maid, the slave is not worthy of the lady." "Silly girl, what stupid things to say, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground. ”
Yan Yunnuan gently stroked Ye Mei, and learned from Ye Qing's mouth that they had been adopted by the Pingyang Marquis Mansion since they were children, and they had undergone various trainings and suffered a lot. For girls, it's really hard for them. In comparison, Yan Yunnuan is already very happy. The tears in Ye Mei's eyes couldn't stop dripping, "Silly girl, don't cry, if Tian Wen sees it, I'm afraid you will think I'm bullying you and want to find me desperately!" Tian Wen had mentioned to Yan Yunnuan before that he wanted to marry Ye Mei as his wife. Yan Yunnuan thought that she was not married yet, so it was not good to be a matchmaker for them.
Now is indeed a good opportunity, hearing Tian Wen's name, Ye Mei was a little stunned. He raised his head in a daze and whispered, "Madam." "Ye Mei, originally I wanted to mention this matter to you in a few days. It's just that now that I've said it, then I won't go around in circles with you. Tian Wen came to me before and wanted to marry you. Don't be in a hurry to answer me, think it through. ”
Patting the back of her hand, she smiled meaningfully. After Ye Mei left, Yan Yunnuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she barely rested yesterday, she had been beating the eldest princess's back and pinching her legs. It's only been a moment today, and she really doesn't have energy, and her hands are sore, as if they weren't hers anymore. Dingbei Hou doesn't have to pretend to be a little guy to follow Yan Yunchun's side, it's really good. The two sat in the same carriage and did not avoid suspicion.
Yan Yunchun didn't care about this, but made Dingbei Hou very happy in his heart. Yan Yunchun relaxed his guard against him, and his chances will become bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, he can leave the capital with their mother and son and live a stable life, which is very good to think about. It's just a pity that he may not be able to stay in the capital for a few days, and the Holy Lord will let him go back to the border. There are bumps along the way, or Yan Yunnuan is right, when Yan Yunchun gives birth to a child and his body is almost recuperated, he can reunite with him, and it is good to be able to accompany them for a moment now!
The second princess lowered her head, she didn't expect the saint to come to her, not to fulfill her wish to become a nun and become a nun, but to ask her to go to the Northern Qi Kingdom to make peace. "What, the royal sister is unwilling?" the saint couldn't help but raise his voice, as a royal descendant, he must make sacrifices for the royal family. You get too much power from the royal family, and you should sacrifice accordingly.
Moreover, in the eyes of the saint, the second princess can do her best for the harmony between the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, which is her blessing. The saint has long been clear about the private matters between Concubine Xiao and King Dongyang, and there is also the life experience of the third prince, and the common people just talk about it as a laughing stock after tea and dinner, and they don't take it seriously. These things are true or false, and it is unpredictable.
