Ye Xu stopped the horse, jumped off the horse, and then lifted the curtain of the carriage himself, and stretched out his hand to help his sister get out of the carriage.

Today's Ye Manjun wore a plain white shirt, with a filial piety scarf tied around her waist, her hand holding the plain white handkerchief was gently placed in her brother's hand, and then her younger brother helped her to carefully step into the low stool put down by the maid, and Wan Ting got out of the carriage.

She doesn't need to look up to look around, she also knows that she is the center of attention, and she has always refused the worship of many people in Ruyang City on the grounds of recuperation, which is why her appearance will cause a lot of commotion.

"This is the lady of the capital?" Someone whispered.

"He looks good, but his face is not very good-looking, and it seems that he is really sick......

"Hehe, whether it's a real illness or not? She also had to be sick. ”

"How?"

"You don't know the princess's temperament, if it weren't for her, this life would have been funeral a long time ago, and it would have dragged on until now? This concubine's identity is unknown, the later she shows up, the better, people can marry thousands of miles away, but they are not here to accompany a dead man......"

"I heard that the prince intends to let her continue to be the princess......"

"My brother marries my sister-in-law, is the prince dizzy? Some of the best girls in the world are ......"

"How can you and I understand the mind of the prince? Aren't you fascinated by this woman? ”

"Who knows? It's hard for this successor to ......"

"What's so hard about it? The Teng family, the Rong family, the An family, the Zhou family and other families began to look for new candidates, preparing to enter the mansion with the princess when the time comes, which is an endless blessing. ”

"Haha, that's right, there are several beauties at once, I'm afraid that the position of the princess in this world is not easy......"

"What's so upset? Maybe I will be taken by the prince ......"

“……”

Ye Manjun, who had been listening attentively for a while, finally stopped listening to these rumors and gossip when she heard those people talking about her marrying the successor son, and walked into the sacrificial tent with a cold expression.

"Sister, I'll teach them a lesson." Ye Xurong had an angry look on his face, and the more these individuals talked, the more excessive.

Ye Minglan's expression is not good-looking, what kind of people are there in this Ruyang City? It's just that when he saw Ye Xurong's angry look, he stretched out his hand to stop this cousin, "Brother Rong, don't be impatient." ”

Ye Manjun also reached out and grabbed his younger brother's arm, "Brother Rong, endure it, if you don't bear it, you will make a big plan, this is not the capital after all." ”

"Sister, the more they talk, the more excessive, even the words such as picking ashes appear, these people just owe a beating." Ye Xurong was furious, it was obviously a fictitious thing, and there were people who were shouting indiscriminately, not only did this not give face, but also did he not look at King Ruyang in his eyes? There is no royal law in this Ruyang City?

Ye Manjun frowned, "Brother Rong, don't be careless, King Ruyang will hear these remarks, he is self-conscious, and he can't be as strong as we are." ”

She knew very well that arguing with this group of people would not make her ugly, but might cause her to get into trouble, and they deliberately said it so ugly, it was nothing more than to make her mad on this occasion, so what benefit could she get? After all, her current identity is as embarrassing as it is.

Ye Xurong was stopped by his loved ones and couldn't seek justice, so he angrily punched the pillar of the sacrificial tent, this feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable, thinking of this, he felt even more sorry for his own sister, this life is not long or short, how will she spend it?

It's just that these remarks sounded dirty in the end, Ye Manjun did not sit in the sacrificial tent, but stood outside, his eyes scanned the surroundings with a fierce voice, and he didn't say a word but put her posture out, and she was not afraid of shadows.

The whispers gradually decreased, and the people who gathered together to talk turned around to fix the white curtain on the sacrificial tent, and with less humming, Ye Manjun felt that the air was much fresher.

Ye Minglan approached Ye Manjun with a calm face, and seeing her still calm face, he sighed and whispered, "Sister Jun, what do you think?" Can you reveal a little bit to Second Uncle Lan, so that Second Uncle Lan can have a bottom in his heart. ”

When Ye Manjun heard this, in fact, when she heard King Ruyang say such a shocking plan that day, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she was troubled by this for the past few days, and Ye Minglan also understood her mood and endured it until now before asking.

"Don't hide it from Second Uncle Lan, my heart is also very messy, King Ruyang really gave me a difficult problem, it is not appropriate to marry or not to marry." She sighed.

If she doesn't marry, her identity is still embarrassing, and if she marries, she is still embarrassed, this is really a dilemma. Moreover, she has recommended Zhu Ziqi to her family to be the son, if she nods to marry now, doesn't it mean that she has selfish intentions? How will Zhu Ziqi look at her? married to Zhu Ziqi, thinking about it like this, her face couldn't help but turn red, but fortunately, the light yellow powder on it still covered one or two, otherwise she would be embarrassed and lose her hair.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, she never felt that she was a hesitant person, and it was just a matter of success or failure, but now she was struggling, mainly because she was worried about Zhu Ziqi's thoughts, and never thought that she would marry him, and this idea began to take root since that day.

There was a cry in the Ruyang Palace, Zhu Chen cried and fainted several times, his son was really going to be funeral, and he would really be separated from her forever in the future, thinking that the little person had grown up, and finally isolated from the world, she wished that the person who died was herself.

Just when Zhu Chen was lying on her son's coffin crying to death, her cronies approached her and said in her ear: "Princess, this rumor has been spread according to your wishes, but the girl of the Ye family can really bear it, and she still hasn't clashed with the family in Ruyang City." ”

The rumor between the prince and Ye Manjun was made by the princess, and she really dared to make it, the cronies couldn't help but be a little staggered, and they didn't want to make peace, but according to the princess's ruthless and insidious nature, what else can't be done? can live one day at a time, even if it is against her will, she still arranges for someone to do it.

Zhu Chen was stunned for a while, and then he understood what this person meant, and frowned slightly, "Spread these words, I want her to dare not agree to marry into the Ruyang Palace, that is my son's fiancée, Zhu Yi actually wants him to marry my son's daughter-in-law, that is a dream, I will not fulfill him if I die." When she said this, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, and Zhu Yi was ripping out her heart by doing so.

"Yes, the old slave knows." The cronie hurriedly responded, and then when he stepped back and turned around, he saw that the king of Ruyang was leading people over, and his figure flashed and he avoided it.

"Princess." Zhu Yi came to Zhu Chen's side, and didn't say any more nonsense, but his eyes flashed with determination.

Zhu Chen was tired from crying, and left the coffin with the help of the maid, "Don't worry, since I have agreed to the funeral, I will never regret it at the last moment, but my poor son wants to sleep alone in the ground......"

Zhu Yi turned a deaf ear to her crying, and Zhu Chen still had the heart to make small movements, proving that she could still hold on, not as weak and heartbroken as she appeared.

"Carry the coffin of the prince out of the house." He waved his hand and looked at the coffin, this person is dead, it is useless to think about it, it is better to go into the ground for peace.

This palace funeral, invited 300 monks to chant the scriptures to practice the transcendence, mourning music played all the way, from the palace in a mighty way, along the street all the way.

After seeing the spectacular scene of the funeral, the sacrificial tents began to put incense tables and play mourning music.

Ye Manjun was quite conspicuous in the crowd, after all, her identity was embarrassing and special, I saw her lighting the incense case, making the rituals one by one, and then standing there with a calm face to bid farewell to this unfortunate son.

She was looking for Zhu Ziqi in the crowd, and she didn't have any ideas, she just subconsciously did it, the son had no children, only her brother saw her off, she soon saw Zhu Ziqi holding the flag, and it happened that Zhu Ziqi also looked at her deliberately, and the eyes of the two looked at each other through the heavy white curtains.

It was just that at such a convergence, Ye Manjun took the lead in blushing and turned her gaze away, facing Zhu Ziqi alone, which made her mood fluctuate more and more.

Zhu Ziqi frowned slightly, he also knew his father's plan, if he wanted to become a son, he must accept Ye Manjun as his wife, this result was beyond his expectations, he didn't hate Ye Manjun, but this condition seemed a little unreasonable.

So in the past few days, he didn't deliberately go to Ye Manjun again, just to avoid suspicion, so that some people would say that he approached her for the position of the prince, such rumors not only damaged his reputation, but also unfair to her, it was better to get along with her so indifferently.

Thinking of her words that she said that she would write a letter to her brother in the capital and would definitely ask the Marquis of Xiangyang to recommend him as the successor prince, his heart suddenly became hot, and with this, he could almost be said to be nine out of ten to become the prince. But in this way, he can't have too much contact with her, I wonder if she will have other ideas? thought that his previous contact with her was with ulterior motives.

Thinking of his father's unfriendly marriage with his mother-in-law, he frowned, subconsciously, he didn't want to be an unjust couple with her, respect each other like ice after decades, or complain again and again, and tear each other down.

The awkward gaze of these two people naturally fell on Zhu Ziran's eyes, his fists were clenched very tightly, his father's plan was quite unfavorable to him, this Ye family's concubine had a deep prejudice against him, and it was quite difficult for him to succeed in winning her heart. The father is really eccentric, and Bacheng knew that there was an ambiguity between Zhu Ziqi and Ye Manjun, so he came up with this trick, even if he had this plan before, after knowing that Ye Manjun was difficult to take the bait, this plan had to be declared aborted.

After Ye Manjun walked through Zhu Ziqi, she was helped by the embroidered curtain to sit down in the sacrificial shed, she didn't want to be in the limelight, so she didn't step forward to communicate with Zhu Ziqi with a few words, and the corner of her eyes was aimed at her cousin and Zhu Ziran's politeness, her willow eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, but she didn't stop it.

After a while, Ye Minglan returned to the sacrificial tent, and she saw Zhu Ziran look at her meaningfully, her lips moved for a while, and then she helped the spirit away again.

She covered her lips with a handkerchief, glanced at her eyes, but saw a young man of about her age in Fuling smiling at her, that smile was quite like her own brother Ye Xurong, full of the smell of sunshine, she couldn't help but look at it curiously.

The young man felt her gaze, and immediately waved at her slightly through the crowd, then winked at her, and helped the spirit away again.

Her body couldn't help but shudder, this young man didn't need to be introduced, she also guessed his identity, just by virtue of that face that was quite similar to Zhu Yi, the king of Ruyang, it was not difficult to know that he was Zhu Zijiao, the fifth son of Concubine An.

"This is the fifth master of the Zhu family." Ye Minglan said.

Ye Manjun just nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

Ye Minglan said to himself: "I have been in contact with him, this person is still a young man, although he is the same age as Sister Jun, he is not as stable as you, if it weren't for his cousin An Jiao who is now pregnant with the widow of the son, and Concubine An is close to Princess Ruyang, almost no one will list him as a candidate to succeed the prince, but his voice is the lowest." ”

Ye Xurong squinted slightly and snorted coldly, "A hairy boy dares to miss my sister?" Hmph, the milk stinks hasn't dried up, sister, you can't fall for him, such a kid has an undecided heart, whoever marries is unlucky. "I forgot that they were a year or two older than him.

"Brother Rong, I'm not such a superficial person, don't say anything like this in the future, you have to know proportion." Ye Manjun said busily. Even if she chooses Zhu Ziran, she will not consider Zhu Zijiao, such a young man is not a good son-in-law, his heart is undecided, and whoever marries him will have to suffer in the future.

"Sister, you can know it in your heart." Ye Xurong breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze fell on Zhu Ziqi's tall figure in mourning clothes, "Sister, if it is really based on the construction of King Ruyang, I think it is more suitable for Zhu Erye to marry him." ”

As soon as Zhu Ziqi was mentioned, Ye Manjun's pretty face was dyed with a layer of red, and he was about to reprimand his own brother for talking indiscriminately regardless of the occasion, but he heard Ye Minglan's disapproving voice.

"The second master of the Zhu family is not easy to get along with, such a husband will not be the lover of our sister's son, in my opinion, it is still the third master Zhu is the most suitable, he has a gentle temperament and is impeccable in dealing with people, this is the best candidate for a husband. Sister Jun, in my opinion, ......"

"Second Uncle Lan, this Zhu Ziran must not, this person is hypocritical, he won't be my sister's beloved......" Ye Xurong was furious when he heard this, he had a very bad impression of this Zhu Ziran, and it was impossible for him to recognize this person as his brother-in-law, and at the same time, he was not at ease to hand over his eldest sister to him.

Ye Minglan frowned, he didn't understand why a person like Zhu Ziran couldn't get into the eyes of this Rong Ge'er? "That's because you don't have much contact with him, Brother Rong, can I still hurt your sister? Even Lord Fang has a good impression of this Third Master Zhu, why do you bother? ”

"My sister deserves the best, she is by no means worthy of such a hypocrite...... Ye Xurong did not give an inch, he felt most sorry for this eldest sister with a bumpy fate, since he wanted to be taller among the short people now, he had to choose a good one.

Ye Minglan also wanted to try to persuade Ye Xurong to prove that his vision was not bad.

Seeing that the two of them were flushed and about to quarrel, Ye Manjun came forward to shout to stop, "Don't quarrel anymore, what kind of occasion is this?" Fortunately, the mourning and joy shook the sky, otherwise people would listen to it, and you would still let me live? ”

Hearing such a heavy voice, both of them were embarrassed, they were eager to convince each other, but they forgot that this occasion was not suitable for discussing this, Ye Xurong was the first to admit his mistake, "Sister, it's me who is wrong, don't be angry." ”

"Sister Jun, my cousin is also wrong, mainly because I am entrusted by your brother, so I am in a hurry and don't pay attention to the occasion." Ye Minglan is not such a stubborn person, a mistake is a mistake, there is no need to die for the sake of face and not admit his mistake.

"I know you are all for my own good, and you all want me to be happy, but if we have any disputes, go back and close the door, and we will debate slowly, and it is even more disadvantageous to talk more about us here." Ye Manjun sighed, and his voice softened a lot, "My identity is already embarrassing, and it is the prince of Ruyang who is funeral, and how many pairs of eyes from the outside world are staring at me, and I can't wait to poke a few holes in my body, so we must be careful and careful in our actions." Second Uncle Lan, Brother Rong, I hope you can understand. ”

These words made both of them ashamed, especially Ye Minglan, he is an elder, and it would be a loss of identity to worry about a younger generation, and it is not right to recommend Zhu Ziran now, after all, this is Ye Manjun's marriage, you have to ask her who she likes, and it will be easy to operate later.

He reflected on this reflection more thoroughly, only to see him make a long bow to Ye Manjun, "Sister Jun, this time it's Second Uncle Lan's, I shouldn't impose my own ideas on you, Second Uncle Lan is humble to you." Your marriage must not be sloppy, we must keep our eyes open and choose a good one, and we must not act impatiently. ”

"Second Uncle Lan is right." Ye Manjun finally nodded, "The prince mentioned this matter to me, and I haven't answered him positively, alas, you all know what I came here for, and it will take time to accept it if you change your husband halfway." ”

The implication is not to force her to make a choice, she still needs time to accept the change.

Ye Minglan said: "Sister Jun, don't worry, Second Uncle Lan will not force you, I have already written to your brother about this matter, and we will wait for his opinion." ”

Ye Xurong squatted down and looked at Ye Manjun, "Sister, I will improve, and I will no longer act impulsively." ”

Ye Manjun patted him on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't care, her relationship with this brother has always been deep, no less than her sisterhood with Ye Manzi, her mother only gave birth to four of their brothers and sisters, it's too late to love each other, where would you think of fighting in the nest? If that's the case, it's ripping out the mother's heart.

At this point, the three reached a consensus on this issue.

The long funeral procession will finally end one day, Ye Manjun looked at the paper money in this place, and her heart was indescribable, she was really glad that she did not become the object of joy, and she didn't want to keep it for such a lifetime.

Turning her head and telling someone to pack her things, she was ready to go back first, so as not to be a monkey here for others to see.

Just when she was about to get into the carriage with the help of the embroidered curtain, several young women wearing mourning clothes and mourning scarves surrounded her, among which the leading woman was pretty, with a pair of narrow eyes but a little charming, and a tear mole in the corner of her eyes added a little bit of pity to me, but she was looking for a strong sense of ballast at the moment, showing a temperament that was quite inconsistent with her appearance.

I saw her stretch out her hand to stop Ye Manjun who was about to get into the carriage, "You are the daughter of the Ye family?" The fiancée of the son? ”

Ye Manjun frowned slightly, seeing that the embroidered curtain couldn't see it, she wanted to teach the woman who came to find trouble out loud, she stretched out her hand and pulled her maid aside, "I am, may I ask the girl's name, what advice do you have when you come this time?" ”

She still spoke as usual, and she didn't look like she was scared at all, such a calm and calm face made the woman who came to find her ballast quite unhappy, she raised her head and looked at Ye Manjun who looked as usual, "I am the cousin of Second Master Zhu, surnamed Teng, my maiden name is Yuanyuan, and I am the daughter of the Teng family, I came to sue you, don't beat my cousin's idea, his fiancée is me, we have been engaged in family affairs since childhood, and it is not for a woman like you to intervene." ”

Zhu Ziqi's fiancée?

When Ye Manjun heard this, he carefully looked up and down a few times, such a woman acted impulsively and recklessly, and rashly found herself to demonstrate, it can be said that there is no overall situation, this is Zhu Ziqi's taste? Then she really couldn't agree.

"What are you looking at?" Teng Yuanyuan said unceremoniously, not looking at Ye Manjun, a noble girl in the capital, at all.

"I didn't see anything, I was just figuring out Second Master Zhu's taste, so that's it." Ye Manjun smiled slightly, she was taught by Ye Zhong to be everyone's lady since she was a child, so even if she was angry, she would still bring out the things engraved in her bones.

It's just that these words don't sound like much, but when you think about it, it means something, but Teng Yuanyuan has a pretty face, not ashamed, but angry, "What do you mean?" Are you saying I'm embarrassing my cousin? The daughter of the Ye family, if I were you, I would die here now, and accompany the son of the world to Huangquan, instead of blocking everyone's way here. ”

"That's right, Sister Yuanyuan is right, you shameless woman, you still want to marry your brother-in-law, what about your three obedience and four virtues? Where did it go? "Another petite woman is the daughter of the An family, whose girlfriend name is Xinru, and she has always been in love with Zhu Ziqi.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my body should be cared for by my parents. Moreover, the son of the world is also the son of man, and he should understand my helplessness and will not blame my choice. Although Ye Manjun is also familiar with it, fortunately, Ye Zhong did not teach her daughter to be pedantic, so she will not be stupid to find a short-term view for a person who does not love herself.

This life is not worthy of her death, she still has to live well for her mother.

Anxin Ru was refuted by Ye Manjun like this, her face was ashamed and angry, since she heard that King Ruyang intended to ask Ye Manjun to marry the next son, she couldn't sit still like Teng Yuanyuan, even if she was not as righteous as Teng Yuanyuan, but she couldn't see that this woman from the capital took away Zhu Ziqi.

Teng Yuanyuan saw Ye Manjun looking like she didn't get into the water, and her anger surged even more, especially when she saw that she didn't seem to want to take care of her anymore and was about to get into the carriage, she couldn't hold her breath even more, and grabbed Ye Manjun's arm tightly, "Don't make it clear, you can't go, say, you will never marry Second Master Zhu, he is my ......"

Ye Manjun looked at her coldly, she didn't have the psychology of not marrying Zhu Zi, but it didn't mean that she was willing to accept her provocation, "Miss Teng, please respect yourself, let go quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite......"

"How do you want to be rude to me? This is Ruyang City, not the capital, your set won't work in Ruyang City, I sue you, you'd better be more restrained and listen to what I say to you, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you, an outsider, have you heard? Teng Yuanyuan was not afraid of Ye Manjun's threat at all, this woman still didn't know the situation.

Ye Manjun didn't intend to tolerate this woman who repeatedly provoked her, even if she wanted to deliberately keep a low profile, it wasn't that someone stepped on the door and was still indifferent, she glanced at the guards beside her, and the other party immediately stepped forward willingly, and bumped into Teng Yuanyuan through air luck, Teng Yuanyuan couldn't stand still, let go of Ye Manjun's arm, and took a few steps back before standing firmly.

Ye Manjun saw the woman retreat, Shi Shiran was helped into the carriage by the embroidered curtain, standing in the carriage, she looked at Teng Yuanyuan's angry face condescendingly, "Miss Teng, your behavior should be done in moderation, you have to think twice, your mother didn't teach you the truth of life, I'll teach you today." After a pause, she said again: "I don't care what your relationship with Second Master Zhu is, that's not the focus of my attention, Miss Teng, if you are so worried about your relationship with Second Master Zhu, please try to tie him up." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Teng Yuanyuan to react, she immediately lifted the curtain and entered the carriage, sat down with a cold face, and told the coachman to set off.

Teng Yuanyuan wanted to stop again, but the coachman who drove Ye Manjun was whipping at this time, she was afraid of being hit by the carriage, so she jumped back and bounced away, watching Ye Manjun's carriage drive away angrily.

"Sister Yuanyuan, are you okay?"

Several nobles from Ruyang City, represented by Anxinru, surrounded them, and the Teng family and the Rong family were almost the largest local forces in Ruyang City.

"Damn, I will never let you go." Teng Yuanyuan scolded hatefully towards Ye Manjun's carriage.

Being treated like this by Ye Manjun, she was angry, got rid of the few female companions who had more than enough success and more than failure, and when she returned to the Teng family's sacrificial tent, she saw the person who gave her a message, "You go back to report to your master, as long as he helps me succeed, I will help him achieve his wish." ”

"Yes, Miss Teng." The man bowed.

Teng Yuanyuan raised her head slightly and watched this person leave, her nose snorted slightly, she naturally understood the purpose of Zhu Ziran's doing this, sooner or later she would send this Zhu Ziran to Huangquan with the hateful woman of the Ye family.

For her cousin Zhu Ziqi, she has long regarded him as her husband, how can she give it to others? Her eyes rolled, she was busy preparing a carriage to go to Ruyang Wangfu to find her aunt, as long as her aunt was on her side, she would win the ticket.

Ye Manjun, who was sitting in the carriage, was crooked on the pillow, with a cold look between her eyebrows, obviously she was in a very bad mood.

"Why should the girl bother with those people? That's just a foolish person, just because he is the cousin of the second master of Zhu and came to the girl to demonstrate, such a person will be killed sooner or later, I don't know what's going on? The embroidered curtain persuaded, and made a bowl of tea for Ye Manjun and handed it over.

Ye Manjun stretched out his hand to take it, "I'm not concerned about her, but I'm just an impulsive and reckless person, I can afford to be angry with her?" ”

When the embroidered curtain heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, "Girl, you...... Didn't you really fall in love with that Second Master Zhu? ”
