Su Dingwen was also busy with Yingluo's marriage after seeing the old lady Ma that day, he thought about it for two days and decided to explore the attitude of the Seventh Prince Ye Yuxuan first.

The Seventh Prince has never been easy to get along with, so it is naturally impossible for Su Dingwen to run directly to Ye Yuxuan to ask if people are interested in his concubine.

He pondered for a while, and deliberately inquired about Ye Yuxuan's daily range of action, but he didn't take action for a while. It's just that he hasn't figured out whether to rely on Ye Yuxuan's boat.

Ye Yuxuan's biological mother Tang Guifei is extremely favored, and her identity in the harem is only under the queen's mother, and she assists the queen in managing the harem on weekdays.

In addition, Ye Yuxuan is the youngest son of Emperor Tianxi, and he has always been the most favored by the emperor, although he has not yet opened the government and entered the dynasty, but the future of the seven princes is really hard to say.

Especially now that King Cheng is in big trouble, he was impeached in Suizhou for disregarding human life, ignoring the people, setting fire to the village, and some time ago he was impeached for setting fire to the food building, intending to kill people and indirectly kill the lord of Mingxia.

Two days ago, the Criminal Department will jointly hear the matter with Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple, and it has been ascertained that the fire in Shiweilou that day was indeed deliberately set on fire by someone, and the person who set the fire was a young man from Shiweilou, and the person who bought fire oil and other things was also caught, and that person turned out to be a distant nephew of a small steward of Chengwang's Mansion, and the killer who took the opportunity to assassinate the witness brought back by King Jing's prince in front of Shiweilou that day was also caught, although the two did not confess anything under torture, But the shoes on one of the feet turned out to be from the needlework room of King Cheng's mansion.

This kind of thing is directly directed at King Cheng, making King Cheng speechless, and the emperor is furious, and has already grounded King Cheng in the palace, waiting for the fall. On that day, there was a fire in the Shiweilou, and there was chaos on the streets of Sitong, and there were really a lot of people who were killed and injured, and the people in Beijing were indignant.

Since these incriminating evidence were discovered, the families of the dead and injured people ran to Jing Zhaoyin's door and knelt down to ask for their lives, demanding that the government give the people an explanation. So even if King Cheng was wronged this time, he also planted a big heel, if there is no accident, the emperor must be severely punished.

King Cheng was frustrated, the abolished prince has been exiled again, and only one King Rui is left among the emperor's princes, although King Rui's biological mother is Concubine Shu, and her position is extremely high, but Concubine Shu has been unfavored for many years, and the emperor has not seen any difference with King Rui, and the Seven Princes are from Tang Guifei.

In the past, the Seven Princes were not looked at by the courtiers, that was because the Seven Princes were young, and now the Seven Princes seem to have participated in the government affairs, Su Dingwen felt that the emperor ordered the Seven Princes to hang the name of Jing Zhaoyin, which was the beginning of letting the Seven Princes Counsellor the government.

Therefore, Su Dingwen was wondering if he should take a gamble, with Yingluo's status as a concubine, it was naturally impossible to marry the Seventh Prince as a concubine, but if he could be a side concubine, the Seventh Prince would really win in the future, how could this side concubine become one of the four concubines.

If you can give birth to an heir first, it's really hard to say what the future holds.

But these are the results of thinking about the benefits, if this is if the gamble is lost, then don't say that it is his third room, maybe the entire Ding'an Hou Mansion will follow the catastrophe......

Therefore, Su Dingwen hesitated to think about it, and after so many days, he still did not take action.

On this day, he went to the old lady to ask for peace, and was forced to ask by the old lady again, Su Dingwen perfunctory two sentences, and returned to the study in a distraught manner, after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to explore the attitude of the seven princes first, after all, the seven princes may have taken a fancy to Yingluo, this is all his own conjecture, is it really still two words, if this is not the case at all, then his thinking and hesitation back and forth here will be useless.

Thinking about it, Su Dingwen stood up and went out of the study and went straight to the ministry.

He went around the examination department under the ministry, and then made a detour to the Hanlin Academy. Pei Jihui, the current head of the Hanlin Academy, was the same year as Su Dingwen, and the two had some friendship.

When he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Pei Jihui asked Su Dingwen to serve tea, and the two had a good greeting, and Su Dingwen said with a smile: "Seeing that it is about to be lunch, the younger brother booked a table of banquets on the drunken fairy building, I don't know if Brother Zhou Nian is willing to give this face to the younger brother?" ”

When Pei Jihui heard this, didn't he know that Su Dingwen came to look for him on purpose, he was surprised, and pondered in his heart, he really didn't understand how Su Dingwen found his head. If you want to say that Su Dingwen will have something to do, it will be a matter of staying in Beijing and being promoted after the year, but this is under the control of the ministry, so what is the matter with finding him. He didn't have anything to do to help Su Dingwen.

Pei Jihui was surprised in her heart, but she laughed on her face, and responded repeatedly, but heard Su Dingwen say again: "Last year, the emperor opened Enke, and I heard that Brother Anniversary's Hanlin Academy has entered a lot of talented young talents, so it is better to invite them all over for a while, it will be so lively." ”

Hearing Su Dingwen say this, Pei Jihui was stunned again, and came to his senses, and said: "If the foolish brother is not mistaken, it seems that there is still a daughter to be married in the elder brother's family, is the elder brother trying to pick a son-in-law in my Hanlin Academy?" ”

Su Dingwen was silent but smiled, Pei Jihui stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Cheng, foolish brother will go and say hello, and designate a good life for his niece to choose a descendant." ”

Half an hour later, Ye Yuxuan just came out of the yamen of the ministry, and saw a group of people crowded at the yamen, laughing together, and seeing that there were more than a dozen people, they all looked like a group of sour nerds who had just been admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

Ye Yuxuan only glanced at it, and didn't care, he was about to leave, when he suddenly saw two more people walking out of the yamen of the Hanlin Academy on the side, it was Su Dingwen and Pei Jihui, the master of the academy.

As soon as the two came out, the group of nerds stepped forward to salute, Su Dingwen also hugged his fists and smiled at everyone, and saw Ye Yuxuan with a turn of his eyes, Su Dingwen hurriedly walked over, saluted, and said, "Weichen has seen the Seven Princes." ”

Ye Yuxuan has lived in Su Mansion, Su Dingwen should see Ye Yuxuan come to say hello, but Ye Yuxuan stood still, looked at Su Dingwen and said, "Lord Su, this is what you want?" ”

Su Dingwen was waiting for Ye Yuxuan's words, and said with a smile: "Weichen is about to invite the juniors of the Hanlin Academy to eat wine in the Drunken Immortal Building, can the Seven Princes be together?" ”

Ye Yuxuan was taken aback, naturally he wouldn't follow, waved his hand casually, and said, "Lord Su is generous and polite to his juniors, so this prince will not go and leave." ”

With that, he strode through the crowd, straddled his horse and returned in the direction of the palace, running a little farther, but the doubts in his heart increased.

Su Dingwen is not idle, he is kind enough to promote the younger generations, and he went to Hanlin Academy to invite a group of sour nerds to eat.

Tijiang Lerin, the entourage following behind him hurriedly leaned over, Ye Yuxuan leaned over and ordered, "Go and ask what Su Dingwen is doing when he invites the nerds of Hanlin Academy to dinner!" Inquire about the details, and go to the Hou Mansion to reply in a while. ”

The entourage responded, turned the horse's head and went straight to the drunken immortal building.

Ye Yuxuan immediately turned his horse's head and no longer returned to the palace, but went to find Bai Guangyan.

Two hours later, in Bai Guangyan's Fanglu Courtyard, in the warm pavilion near the water, the food on the table of the Eight Immortals was already cold, but only the wine was drunk, and the dishes were almost not moved.

Bai Guangyan stood boredly by the warm pavilion and grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the water, sprinkled two handfuls, looked back at Ye Yuxuan, who was slightly drunk and lying on the rocking chair and swayed gently, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Secretly said that since that day, the aunt and grandmother of the Su family in the fabric shop didn't know what to say to their master, and the master was irritable for more than ten days, but he didn't drink and mess around.

Later, the emperor sent an errand, and called the seven princes to the imperial study to admonish him, and the seven princes honestly took up the errand. When I came up, I poured two pots of wine, but I didn't say much, which was obviously something again.

Bai Guangyan was weak for a while, dropped another handful of fish food, and saw Zhu Shun, the entourage of the Seven Princes on the opposite side of the path, running quickly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, patted the fish food in his palm, turned around and sat down on the chair, and threw a peanut in his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Shun had already entered the warm pavilion, knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Yuxuan, and replied: "The subordinates have all found out, then Su Dingwen invited the Hanlin people of the Hanlin Academy to eat and drink, and it seems that he intends to choose a son-in-law for his daughter from the Hanlin Academy." ”

Ye Yuxuan still half-closed his eyes and didn't react, and Bai Guangyan was already choked by the peanut foam in his mouth when he heard this, and he stomped his feet and coughed repeatedly, and even his face turned red.

Ye Yuxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Guangyan, and glanced at Zhu Shun, who was kneeling, Zhu Shuncai got up and slapped Bai Guangyan twice on the back, poured him another cup of tea, and bowed down to stand aside.

Bai Guangyan poured two mouthfuls of water, and then he got better, but he stood up, raised his hand and pointed at Ye Yuxuan, who closed his eyes again, and jumped to his feet and said: "How long has it been here, I know that the master has already dropped his hand, and it has been a matter of the Su family's aunt and grandmother for a long time, and the master is ......."

Huan, who was calling him, was glanced at by Ye Yuxuan's slightly cool eyes, and suddenly his voice stopped abruptly, kicked the spring stool at his feet, shook his head helplessly, sat down, and said: "Then Su Dingwen is not just a girl, and it may not be for that aunt and grandmother." After that, he looked at Zhu Shun and asked, "Can you find out which daughter Su Dingwen is choosing a son-in-law for?" ”

Zhu Shun said: "I didn't hear about this, but my subordinates inquired about it, and Master Su greatly appreciated Wang Xueqiang and Bai Zhanghe, the two Hanlins of the Hanlin Academy, and called the two to their side and asked about the situation at home. ”

Zhu Shun said, Bai Guangyan waved his hand at him, and Zhu Shun bowed and retreated.

Bai Guangyan looked at Ye Yuxuan, who was still with his eyes closed, although the expression on his face did not change, Bai Guangyan still saw a little haze from between his eyebrows.

Bai Guangyan knocked on the table and said: "Wang Xueqiang is a person from Xitun Township, Changning County, Gaozhou Prefecture, his parents are ordinary people, he is twenty and three years old this year, and he ranked eighth in the second class of Enke last year. Bai Zhanghe's background is slightly better, a native of Baxian Town, Hejian Prefecture, his family is a local squire, and he ranked third in Enke last year, the same age as Wang Xueqiang. These two people are too low-born, and it is impossible for Su Dingwen to marry his concubine like this, but the concubine is a good match. ”

And Su Dingwen's concubine is in alphabetical order, Su Yingluo is the oldest, and now Su Dingwen's concubine is left with Su Yingluo and Su Yingzi below, Su Yingzi is still young, so she is really looking at her husband for Su Yingluo's aunt and grandmother.

Bai Guangyan didn't say these words, for fear of stimulating Ye Yuxuan, and Ye Yuxuan naturally thought of it.

Seeing that Ye Yuxuan didn't react for a while, as if he hadn't heard his words, Bai Guangyan only felt panicked in his heart, and suddenly jumped up again, and said: "If the master really can't let go, then it's time to give the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine Niangniang will naturally be the master for the master!" This mother-in-law and mother are like that! If you can't wait, you will take Su Yingluo captive and raise her in Beizhuang first, and the first few months you will go to Beizhuang on the outskirts of Beijing every day. That Zhuangzi was built by everyone in the Jiangnan garden, and it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to transport stones from Huzhou alone, not because the master Gu remembered that Miss Su had been following Su Dingwen in the Jiangnan area all these years, and prepared for her, now everything is ready, and the people will be taken captive and put on the Zhuangzi, and when Su Dingwen will make trouble in the palace, the emperor and the concubine will naturally give Miss Su a name and settle the matter! ”

Ye Yuxuan opened his eyes when he heard this, glanced at Bai Guangyan who was jumping on his feet, and then turned his head and closed his eyes, just when Bai Guangyan was about to grab his hair, he heard a low voice.

"Ye just wants her to be happy in her heart, the twisted melon is not sweet, what's the point of snatching it."

Ye Yuxuan's words made Bai Guangyan suddenly open his mouth, and only after half a sound did he breathe a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and said: "This is okay, if she likes the master, it takes more contact to make it, now that she is staying in the boudoir, it is too difficult for the master to meet her, and the girl is a twisted person with ideas, I am afraid that I will not like anyone lightly, so it is better to get people back first, this can only have feelings if you get along more." What's the matter with drinking like this now! ”

Bai Guangyan felt that this was really a simple matter, and he couldn't figure out how he could be in dire straits for most of the year for this woman.

Ye Yuxuan snorted coldly, suddenly opened his eyes, and said, "Get it back?" How to do it? Haven't you thought about it? With her identity, it is best to be a side concubine, do you think that girl will be a concubine? ”

Bai Guangyan thought about Yingluo's temperament, frowned for a while, widened his eyes again, jumped up from the stool all of a sudden, and said, "Ye Mo doesn't want to marry a concubine, right?" This can't be done, this is really not good, don't say that the emperor is the emperor, even if the concubine Niangniang depends on the master for everything, it is impossible to agree! ”

Ye Yuxuan didn't know this, so he was in a dilemma, he inexplicably felt that Yingluo would definitely not agree to him as a concubine, and he felt that if he gave his mother a concubine, he accepted her forcefully and forcefully, according to her temperament, I was afraid that she would not forgive him for the rest of her life, and she didn't seem to have much of a good impression of him, and if she made a bad start in this matter, her heart would only get farther and farther away from him, and maybe she wouldn't want to get her heart in this life.

can marry a concubine, just like Bai Guangyan said, this is not possible at all! If he dares to come nonsense, if he has to marry her, eighty percent of the mother concubine will take her life first!

Ye Yuxuan rubbed his forehead and was at a loss, Bai Guangyan also sighed, and said: "I shouldn't have lived in Su Mansion in the first place, if I didn't know that aunt and grandmother, our brothers would have followed the emperor to hunt, I don't know how much happiness!" ”

Because of Yingluo, Ye Yuxuan had not been very normal for a while ago, and then he looked good, Bai Guangyan thought that he had thrown away his hand, but he didn't expect that it was not like that at all. At first, he couldn't understand why Ye Yuxuan followed the emperor to autumn hunting every year, but this year he took the initiative to stay in Beijing, where else did Bai Guangyan not understand.

I've been doing it for a long time, and I'm not worried about that girl, and I can't let go.

Seeing that Ye Yuxuan was silent, Bai Guangyan poured another glass of wine, poured it down, slammed the wine glass on the table with a bang, looked at Ye Yuxuan and said: "I actually understand this matter, if the master really can't bear to accept her as a concubine, then he will let go of other girls, and it is irrelevant for men to marry women." If the master really can't let go, he really can't watch her get married, so he begged the mother to give her the title early, she is troublesome, that is, she is cold, then there is still a lifetime of opportunity to cover the heat, it is better than her really getting engaged and marrying someone else. Su Dingwen is going to marry her, but he has thought about it, if he really waits for her to get engaged and then goes to find the concubine Niangniang to be the master, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even have a side concubine. ”

Ye Yuxuan didn't seem to hear Bai Guangyan's words at all, he was still silent, and when Bai Guangyan thought that he wouldn't speak again, he heard him say in a low voice: "Let me think about this matter again, you ordered someone to knock down those Hanlin, who dares to go to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and destroy his nine clans!" ”

Bai Guangyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, poured two more glasses of wine, and said, "This master doesn't need to command, I will do it too." I just hope that I will never meet such an enemy in my life, just drink and drink. ”

However, he said that after Su Dingwen returned home from the drunken immortal building, he didn't see Ye Yuxuan make any moves for two days, so he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and after thinking about it, he went to the Hanlin Academy again.

As soon as he entered the Hanlin Academy, he found that something was wrong, and a few young people who were competing for him on the drunken immortal upstairs that day were close to him, and when they saw him today, they were all like mice seeing cats, one slipped faster than the other, Su Dingwen immediately thought about it, and he didn't know how many people had been warned.

For a while, his heart was settled, and he hummed a song and shook out of the Hanlin Courtyard and went back to the Hou Mansion.
