As soon as the prince of Ruyang Wangfu was mentioned, Ye Manjun frowned slightly, she was very unfamiliar with this long-known fiancé, and the two did not exchange many letters, and they had always been polite and lightly alienated.

She understands that for the Ruyang Palace, she, the princess from the capital, should not be too popular, and the only one who really expresses her love for her is Zhu Chen, the princess of Ruyang, after all, she is half of her mother's family. This is also the news that she gradually got out of Mama Jiang in the nearly two months she has been on the ship, this news is not good, but it is not bad.

"Girl, this is windy and sandy, it's better to wear a hat." The embroidered curtain reminded.

Ye Manjun came back to his senses at this time, this is the first time he met his fiancé, it is better to be subtle, so he nodded and put a hat on her through the embroidered curtain.

Mama Jiang didn't know if it was because her own son was coming, her expression was more relaxed, and she actually made a joke about Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye doesn't have to be so shy, you are an unmarried couple." ”

Ye Manjun has received an orthodox education since childhood, although Mama Jiang is right, but if this fiancé is pleased with her, it is okay to face to face directly, since the other party is still a little resistant to her arrival, there is no better way to meet for the first time than the etiquette system, but the mouth is to say: "This road is tiring, the wind and sand here are also big, it is better not to let the prince look at me, wait for me to rest and adjust a little, and it is not too late to meet the prince openly and honestly, and I hope that Mama will understand." ”

Mama Jiang was stunned, this reason was very reasonable, and she couldn't help but look up at this girl from the Marquis Mansion of Xiangyang a few times, no wonder her own mother would say that this girl in the capital is more decent and noble than the girl in Ruyang City, and it is not comparable to a barbarian woman.

"It's still a girl who thinks it through." She sighed, "Women are those who please themselves, as they should." ”

Ye Manjun had already tied the strap of the hat at this time, so that Mama Jiang could not see her true face, as well as the trace of anxiety and expectation on her face.

She is still a girl in the end, and her attitude towards this fiancé will not be completely rejected, and her parents' marriage is not smooth, but her brother and sister-in-law are a model of harmony, and she has always been envious.

The two talked for a while, but the man with the smoke and dust had already arrived in front of them on a white horse.

Ye Manjun looked directly at the person sitting on the horse through the translucent gauze scarf, a pair of sheared autumn pupils, this man was about twenty-one or two years old, and his clothes were meticulous, even if he was stained with wind and dust, it was still not to be underestimated, but the tightened lips and Yan Sù's face ruined this handsome face, this is by no means a person who is easy to get along with.

Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she knew that she would face huge challenges in the next few decades, and it would not be easy to win the heart of such a man.

When she was secretly looking, the other party also looked directly at her, a delicate guest from the capital, and the scrutinizing gaze was undisguised, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Sure enough, the personnel from the capital, including Ye Manjun, were slightly uncomfortable.

Ye Manjun only cared about his thoughts, but he didn't see that Mama Jiang beside her was frowning very tightly, and stepped forward and said unhappily: "Second master, why are you?" ”

Hearing this stern voice, Ye Manjun looked at Mama Jiang in slight surprise, and then looked directly at the man on the horse through the veil, the other party had no intention of getting off the horse at all, this person was not Zhu Zijie, the prince of Ruyang? "Mama?"

Mama Jiang glanced at her soothingly, and then fired at the other party again, "Second Master, what do you mean by this?" This is the princess. ”

"I came to greet Miss Ye on the orders of my father and the princess, Mama Jiang, you don't have to look at me like this." The second master of the Ruyang Royal Mansion looked at Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye, please get in the carriage, there are still twenty days to go from here to the Ruyang Palace, for some reason, we must rush back to the palace as much as possible, try to shorten the journey to ten days, and ask Miss Ye for forgiveness." ”

Before Ye Manjun could say a word, Mama Jiang shouted, "There is no such rule, second master, you said that you came on the order of the princess, please show the princess's handwritten message." The journey of 20 days has been shortened to 10 days, have you taken care of the princess? ”

This time, she no longer called Ye Manjun Miss Ye, but called her the princess, just to suppress the indifferent and unreasonable second master in front of her with this identity.

The person who was sitting right away ignored it, but glanced at his subordinates, and immediately someone stepped forward to surround Jiang Mama, Ye Manjun and others, and those people made a gesture to invite them into the carriage, as if there was a driving posture that was not in line with their wishes, and they were about to throw people into the carriage, which was extremely rude and rude.

Mama Jiang was so angry that her nose was crooked, this was clearly not to take her, no, not to look at the princess Zhu Chen in her eyes, "It's against the sky......"

"Mama, don't be impatient." Ye Manjun was not taken by the other party's momentum, this is not the capital, it is already close to the territory of the King of Ruyang, so she can't help but be tough, this is not half good for her, she looked up and looked directly at the man sitting in the carriage with a stern face, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know, but I have traveled thousands of miles to get married, and the journey is tiring, and my entourage is also miserable, even if they have to hurry, please allow them to calmly prepare their salutes and set off." ”

The man on the horse bent down slightly to look at this seemingly petite woman, in this situation, he actually dared to stand up and confront himself, and his courage was not small.

One person on the horse, one under the horse, just looked at each other in the air, and the people around smelled the spark, and no one dared to step forward to interject.

Ye Manjun didn't give an inch, if she timidly retreated today, then she was afraid that her treatment in Ruyang City would deteriorate in the future, she was from the capital and had the emperor's order, so there was no need to bend her waist.

In the middle of the night, the man on the horse raised his hand slightly, signaling his subordinates who threatened Jiang Mama and Ye Manjun to retreat, "I only give you two quarters of an hour to prepare, more than waiting." ”

"I see." Ye Manjun replied without humility or arrogance, turned around and walked towards the embroidered curtain, "You go and pass the word to our people, and ask them to hurry up." ”

"Yes, girl." The embroidered curtain endured grief and indignation.

Mama Jiang was so angry that her chest hurt, but her shape was stronger than people, and she didn't argue with this second master in the end.

Ye Zhong's family gave Ye Manjun a lot of children to marry, so it was only a good thing to tidy up for two quarters of an hour, and when the embroidered curtain came to report, Ye Manjun, who should have gotten into the carriage to rest, was supported by the maid.

Mama Jiang also pursed her lips and rode in the same carriage with Ye Manjun.

The second master of the Ruyang Palace, who had never dismounted, looked at this scene coldly, and when he saw that two quarters of an hour had arrived, he would not give it for a while, so he immediately ordered to set off to the Ruyang Palace.

The carriage set off with a "click" and went quite fast, but fortunately, Ye Manjun is not the one who can't help but endure hardships, and she got used to it after a while, and she didn't even cry out in the environment on the boat, what are these now?

It's just that the carriage has been very quiet, the atmosphere is quite depressing, the embroidered curtains, the two maids do not squint, but the expression on their faces is very unhappy, this has not yet arrived at the Ruyang Palace, someone came to give the horse Wei, what is this? Their girl is such a good person, and she deserves a better lover.

Mama Jiang sat at the bottom of the place, silent, her fists clenched tightly.

Only Ye Manjun, who was sitting on the main seat, had always been very calm, the breeze blew through the curtains of the car, and when she tilted slightly, she could see the man escorting in front of her, the second master of the Ruyang Palace, she knew ominous about the personnel of this family, and only knew that her husband was born to the princess Zhu Chen.

There have been countless thoughts in her heart, each of which made her frown, this time the mountains and rivers are far away to the Ruyang Palace, and the future is not bright.

After a while, she looked at Mama Jiang who had not made a sound, "Mama, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Mama Jiang was stunned when she heard this, and then looked up at Ye Manjun's penetrating eyes, she has always had a good impression of this future princess, and then thought about the second master's style just now, she held a breath of anger in her chest, and finally she said: "The one outside is the second brother of our princess, from the side concubine Teng, he is only two months younger than our princess, so he is the same age......"

Ye Manjun quietly listened to the affairs of Zhu Ziqi, the second son of the Ruyang Palace, compared to the prince Zhu Zijie, this one seemed to be more favored by the prince, and the people in Ruyang City also recognized him more, and there was a faint situation of surpassing Zhu Zijie.

But due to the etiquette system, it is natural that the eldest son of the concubine can inherit the throne, and the princess of the Zhu Chen family and the mother and son of the Teng family are in a situation of fire and water, and they will not be willing to give up the throne to this concubine, so she has been suppressing the rise of Zhu Ziqi. It's just that in the single-minded expectations of Ruyang City, her suppression seems to be somewhat powerless.

Only then did he have to ask the capital for help, hoping that his son could get married, hoping to get the support of the royal family in the capital. However, due to the sloppiness of the selection of the princess of the Ruyang Palace, Emperor Zhu Yi and the Queen Mother discussed several times before they circled Ye Manjun.

Ye Manjun had already seen this from Zhu Ziqi's behavior just now, and the other party didn't take her, the future princess, in his eyes at all.

In fact, the king of Ruyang and the current emperor are the heirs of the Zhu family, and they have to be traced back from Taizu. When Taizu rebelled and overthrew the previous dynasty, it has always been the brothers who worked hard, and in the process of fighting the country, the younger brother has the greatest credit, because the force value is stronger, so it can be more supported by the three armies.

Taizu didn't say anything at the time, but the preservation of such a high-ranking younger brother was a fish bone in his throat for Taizu, and he was always uncomfortable. Originally, this younger brother was sincerely obedient to this elder brother, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the younger brother's advisers were not dry meals, and he had long guessed that Taizu would one day not be able to tolerate this younger brother.

Brother wall, for the early establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty is not a good thing, at that time there are not Jing before the forces of the dynasty, there is Mongolia eyeing the tiger, as long as the disaster Xiao Wall, all efforts will be attached to the flowing water, so whether it is the elder brother or the younger brother, do not dare to act rashly.

But there will always be a day when the conflict will erupt, and the two can't be so happy all the time.

Eventually, the younger brother retreated to the main town he occupied, which was also closer to the frontier, and he told his brother that it was a beautiful place and that he only wanted to grow old here, indicating that he had no intention of fighting with his brother again.

The elder brother also heard the meaning of the younger brother, because the Dashun Dynasty was in ruins at that time, and could not stand the toss again, in desperation, he agreed to the excerpt played by the younger brother, in order to contain the younger brother, he proposed that the successive princesses of Ruyang must be designated by him, from the daughter of the powerful family in the capital.

The younger brother knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he finally nodded in agreement.

This has the tradition that the successive princesses of Ruyang are all nobles in Beijing, and people who are familiar with this history do not want to marry their daughters to the Ruyang Palace.

Ye Manjun also knows the reason for this, so she has always been not very active about this marriage, and there are also reasons for this, the imperial power is irresistible, and she can't selfishly run away from the marriage.

"The son of the world didn't come in person, what did Mama think?" She lightly opened her lips and asked.

Suddenly shocked that the teacup in Mama Jiang's hand fell, after Ye Manjun's seemingly unintentional words, she also noticed that there was a cat in it, no matter what, it was impossible for the prince to appoint Zhu Ziqi to greet his fiancée for him, in this way, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"What do you mean?" Her voice trembled.

Ye Manjun lightly lifted the gauze curtain and looked at the tall back outside, "What did Mama say?" She kicked the ball back again.

Mama Jiang was confused for a while, her hands were shaking, and her heart was anxious.

Ye Manjun closed his eyes and rested on the pillow to recuperate, and he had to embroider the curtain and fan her to enjoy the coolness, this Ruyang Royal City is in the north, but it is still quite hot at this time.

There was no time to rest all the way, even if the two maids had a lot of questions in their hearts, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time and dare not comment on a word casually.

On the other hand, Ye Manjun is an old god, and there is no trace of eagerness on her little face, anyway, for her, she has come, and it is wishful thinking to want to return to the capital at this time, so she can only come and be safe.

Lin Long, who was far away in the capital, didn't know about this qiē change.

She is in confinement, and now she has a child who is full of everything, just thinking about holding two children in her arms all the time, and she doesn't feel enough to love.

"You haven't taken this name yet?" Quan Lu, who came to visit her to give birth, looked at the children for a while and asked.

"Grandfather said he hadn't decided which name was good. I'm still hesitating. Lin Long was wearing an apricot yellow summer coat next to the Luohan bed, but his hand was gently patting the swaddling clothes of the two sleeping children, and he smiled very satisfied.

"I can see that this great-grandfather attaches too much importance to this." Quan Lu was sincerely happy for Lin Long, "With these two children in hand, you can be regarded as invincible." ”

Now in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, who else dares to show Lin Long his face directly? These two children are her back.

"The eldest aunt said and laughed, the two of them are still young, and I, as a mother, just want them to grow up healthy and satisfied." Lin Long said with a smile.

When I wasn't pregnant with them before, I thought that the child was standing on the cornerstone of the inner house. Now that these two boys have really been born, I know that for mothers, children are always just children, not tools to use.

"It's good to see that you have a son who has everything to do." Quan Lu is still quite emotional.

Confinement on this hot day is extraordinarily uncomfortable, Lin Long doesn't dare to fan the wind lightly, and there is no ice basin in the house, in addition to forbearance or forbearance, it is difficult for all the people who come to visit her.

"By the way, what about Cousin Yingzi?"

"She's busy with the marriage, you also know that the marriage has just been decided, and when you are out of confinement, it is estimated that it will be just in time for the wedding banquet, and you will have to be present at that time, so that your cousin can also touch your good luck." As soon as Quan Lu's family mentioned his daughter's marriage, he would laugh, "People hold two in three years, and you will hold two in one year, if your cousin has half of your luck, I will be satisfied as a mother." ”

"Cousin Yingzi is good, my aunt can rest assured, and she will be happy." Lin Long comforted Quan Lu and said a good word.

While the two were talking, Ye Zhong accompanied his sister-in-law Zhong Guo to arrive, and there was another greeting.

Ye Zhong's family loves these two grandsons very much, he is really afraid of falling in the palm of his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, in short, he regards these two children as precious as eyeballs.

Lin Long let go of the seat and asked his mother-in-law to lead Zhong Guo's to see the child closely, knowing that Ye Zhong's had to show off again, and every time someone came to visit these days, they had to be poisoned by Ye Zhong's poison.

"I see this eldest grandson like a father, and the second grandson like a mother." Zhong Guoshi saw that the child's face was a little opener, and the difference in his eyebrows gradually appeared, although they were twins, it could be seen that there was still a difference in appearance.

"I look at it too, but their parents are good-looking, and they are as good-looking as anyone else." Ye Zhongshi smiled and narrowed his eyes and said, "Look at how open our eldest grandson Heavenly Court is......"

Lin Long wanted to shake her head when she heard this, Ye Zhongshi took the trouble to tell it again and again, and she was not afraid that people would have calluses in her ears, why didn't she find out that this mother-in-law was also chattering before?

Quan Lu smiled and patted Lin Long's hand, "Our sister Long is blessed. ”

Lin Long smiled humbly, what blessing can be said to be heard, happiness still has to rely on oneself.

A few women were laughing, and embroidered satin came in to report to Ye Zhong's family, "Madam, Miss Zheng has returned to the door in the third dynasty." ”

"Let them wait in the hall, and I'll go over." Ye Zhong got up and said, apologized to Quan Lu and Zhong Guo, and then lifted the curtain and went out.

"I can't see that your mother-in-law still values this righteous daughter." Zhong Guoshi said with a smile.

"When you recognize your righteous relatives, you naturally have to pay attention." Lin Long also smiled.

Zhong Guo's was bored, and then remembered that Lin Long and the queen also recognized their righteous relatives, and only then did they know that what they said made people respond, so they didn't continue to talk about this topic, but talked about the marriage of their youngest son and Quan Yingzi.

Near noon, the two elders got up and left, and Lin Long couldn't get out of the room, so he asked Ruxia to send the two out of the South Garden.

She was sweating so hot that she was about to go to the inner room to wipe her sweat and change her clothes, but at this time, the eldest son cried, and even the younger son cried out to be outdone.

She hurriedly stepped forward to check, the diaper was not wet, she should be hungry, so she hurriedly asked the nurse to come in.

As soon as she gave birth, Ye Zhongshi let her drink the decoction of back milk, and she was not allowed to feed her own children, and Ye Zhongshi said, "I am also for your good, and you will understand later." If you don't breastfeed your child, you can conceive a baby sooner. ”

Lin Long understood what Ye Zhong meant, when Su Ziyu came to see her that day, she sent her a grandmother by the way, saying that she was helping her to restore her body, of course, there were a lot of palace secret medicines, and she blushed when she saw it.

The grandmother's surname was Xia, and she smiled at the time: "The county lord is young, and it is very easy to recover his body." ”

She smiled awkwardly at the time.

Su Ziyu patted her hand lightly, and said sternly: "This is not a joke, if your body is not well maintained, you will not be able to recover, and you will cry when the time comes, and when the man dislikes you, don't come to me to cry." I'm all thinking about you here, which of the concubines in the palace has been born? Don't you just want to recover in a hurry? ”

"Yes, stepmother, how can I not care?" She laughed in response.

"Come on, you are young and don't understand, I have arranged it for you, you just do it." Su Ziyu commanded repeatedly.

was comforting the two sons, and the two nurses walked in side by side, thanks to Ye Zhong's family, when he was looking for a nurse, he was afraid of wronging his baby Jin Sun, so he found four people at once, and now he has given birth to twins, which just comes in handy.

When Zheng Xizhu came to visit Lin Long, she happened to see the two nurses feeding the children behind their backs, and glanced at them curiously, "Am I not at the right time?" ”

"Third sister, come and sit." Lin Long beckoned.

Zheng Xizhu hurriedly walked over and took Lin Long's hands, "Sister Long, congratulations." ”

Lin Long responded to this blessing with a smile, and then pulled her to sit beside her with an apologetic face, "That day was just in time for me to give birth to these two babies, and your wedding banquet, the Ye family is afraid that they will all be absent, so I will embarrass you......"

is the righteous daughter of the Ye family, and the Ye family did not attend the wedding banquet, which is the most unfavorable to Zheng Xizhu.

Zheng Xizhu shook her head desperately, "Sister Long, don't say that, it's too late for me to thank you." Besides, my mother-in-law is very sensible, and she does not look down on me because of this, so why should I be arrogant? ”

Lin Long was originally the thoughtful person, and he could see at a glance whether what Zheng Xizhu said was from the heart? Now that I see the two blushes on Zheng Xizhu's face, they are all just the bride's own, so I am completely relieved. "Third sister, seeing that you are doing well, I am relieved."

Zheng Xizhu clenched Lin Long's hand with tears in her eyes, "I can have the ...... given by Sister Long today."

"Stupid again?" Lin Long pretended to be displeased.

Zheng Xizhu took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "By the way, I'll go see the two little nephews......"

The atmosphere in the warm pavilion is very harmonious and warm.

The threshold of the Ye family has almost been trampled by the congratulatory people in the past few days, but Lin Lu's family has to come to visit every day to feel at ease.

At this time, her carriage was stopped when it drove into the Xiangyang Marquis's mansion, and she was suspiciously lifting the curtain to ask the coachman, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the woman standing outside.

The woman was dressed in simple clothes, and it could be seen that the fabrics were all very ordinary, with a few silver ornaments on her head, and a bag in her hand, followed by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid.

This is the first time she has seen Quan Meihuan dressed so downward, when has she met before, isn't this former housewife very glamorous? Such a simple appearance really made her feel very dazzling.

She didn't put up a fight, this person was Lin Long's biological mother, and she was quickly helped out of the carriage by the maid, but the identities of the two were embarrassing, and she couldn't call for a while.

Quan Meihuan also looked at Lin Lushi carefully, wearing a blue summer dress wrapped in a still somewhat delicate figure, the face that had become rough because of life, under the influence of more than half a year of comfortable days and wealth, he looked a few years younger than when he first returned to Beijing. Although the bun is not full of expensive hair accessories, the two beaded hairpins are first-class at first glance, and she still has such eyesight.

Seeing this Lin Lu's family, she felt a bitterness in her heart, such a comparison between the two, her princess daughter was really down.

"I heard that Sister Long gave birth to twins, I can't go in to see her, but I'm happy for her, these are the small clothes and other things I made myself, you can give them to her for me." She handed the burden she had personally carried in her hand to Lin Lu.

Lin Lushi took it with a blank face, she knew that when the mother and daughter had the most stiff quarrel, Lin Long had given a death order, and Quan Meihuan was not allowed to step into the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and the Lin Mansion for half a step.

Holding it in his hand, just looking through the corner of the bulging baggage, the children's clothes and fabrics are all high-quality goods, and the needles and threads are also extremely fine, so it can be seen that Quan Meihuan has put his mind into it.

Even before, she hated what Quan Meihuan did, but looking at her at this moment was really pitiful, so she said, "Huo ...... Madam, I'll lead you in, and you will hand it over to Sister Long personally......"

"Nope." Quan Meihuan pressed the moist corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Our mother and daughter are always on the tip of the needle when they are together, she is sitting in confinement, in case there is a three-long and two-short fall ill, this life will be sinned." Quan Meihuan sighed and said, she didn't want to make her daughter unhappy. You told her to be careful during confinement, not to touch cold water or blow cold wind, and to take supplements...... I'll just go. ”

In the end, as soon as the words fell, she was afraid that crying would be rude in front of others, so she turned and left.

Lin Lu hurriedly said: "Madam......"

Quan Meihuan kept going, leaving with the same shabby maid.

Lin Lushi looked at the burden in her hand for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, tightened the burden and stepped into the carriage again, without asking carefully, she also knew that these were all made by Quan Meihuan with her dowry silver.

As soon as Kwon Mihuan arrived at the corner of the alley, she couldn't help but sobbed quietly.

At the same time, the carriage that Ye Manjun was riding stopped, this was the first time since he was in a hurry, it was estimated that Zhu Ziqi was ready to let everyone rest and recuperate, and only gave half an hour.

Mama Jiang, who had been sitting unsteadily in the carriage, was the first to rush out of the carriage, she had something to ask about this Zhu Zi period, what happened in Ruyang City?

Ye Manjun in the carriage changed his lazy expression and looked towards the embroidered curtain, and the latter hurriedly got off the carriage knowingly, ready to inquire about what would make Mama Jiang uneasy?

"Girl, this is extremely inappropriate." Rolling shutter whispered.

"I know what I know." Ye Manjun replied in a deep voice.

It's just that things are far more complicated than she imagined, a white dove flew into the hands of the Ninth Prince Zhu Sa from the window, he slowly opened it, and chuckled out after seeing it.

"Lord Wang?" The cronies asked in a low voice.

"Zhu Zijie, the son of Ruyang Palace, fell from a horse and died."
