Chapter 117: Return to the Mansion to prepare for the Southern Tour
—— The lord of Qingjiang is the daughter of the old King of Qin. The old King of Qin is also Ye Fengqi's father, the younger brother of Taizu and Taizong. Emperor Taizong killed Taizu to ascend the throne that year, and in order to maintain the legitimacy of the throne, he concocted a golden box alliance and falsely passed on the decree of the Empress Dowager Du, but as a result, the throne was secured, but he went around himself.
Because he is the younger brother of Taizu, according to the regulations of the "Golden Box Alliance", the inheritance of the throne of Great Chu should be the elder brother, not the death of the father and the son. In other words, after his death, the throne should be inherited by Ye Fengqi's father, Lao Qin. How could Emperor Taizong tolerate it? As soon as he sat firmly on the throne, he fabricated evidence and framed the old Qin king for rebellion, first executing the old Qin king, and then killing Ye Fengqi's elder brothers one by one. If it weren't for the persuasion of the Queen Mother, Ye Fengqi would never have escaped the poisonous hands of Emperor Taizong.
It's just that Emperor Taizong has not reached the point of madness, and the only daughter of the old King Qin has not been affected. This is the county lord of Qingjiang. Later, Taizong died and the current emperor ascended the throne, Ye Fengqi grew up slowly, and the emperor gave the shaved prince back to Ye Fengqi.
However, Ye Fengqi didn't have the slightest sense of gratitude - when his father and brothers died, he was already sensible, and they died too miserably and aggrieved! Ye Fengqi hated Emperor Taizong to death, and of course he didn't have any good feelings towards his son, the orthodox emperor who inherited the throne.
The county lord of Qingjiang is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and the royal genes are excellent, and the county lord of Qingjiang is also a beautiful embryo. It's just that it may be because he suffered from ups and downs when he was a child, and he doesn't look as good as the average noblewoman, but he is still full of luxury and grace.
Yulan stepped forward to salute, and the county lord of Qingjiang was very polite to her. She and Ye Fengqi are sisters and brothers, so they naturally have close contacts, Ye Yichen and Ye Fengqi have always worn a pair of pants, and her relationship with Ye Yichen is also very good. The two younger brothers begged her head personally, and she naturally wouldn't say a word.
This time, she didn't need to come forward in person, and she could send a few grandmothers to do things beautifully. However, she was curious, and she was eager to see who this fourteen-year-old girl was who could be admired by both royal brothers.
Seeing this, Yulan is really good in appearance, cultivation, and temperament. The county lord of Qingjiang couldn't help but be very satisfied. She let Yulan get into the car, and the two chatted along the way. The county lord of Qingjiang is also an old qualification in the royal family, and Yulan was a little restrained at the beginning, and slowly relaxed after saying a few words.
The county lord of Qingjiang is hearty and generous, and he swayed freely along the way, so that Yulan knew a lot of news in the capital, she said: "The reputation of your old lady has long been like thunder, but I haven't found a chance to get close to it for so many years, and now I can finally get my wish!" ”
Yang Peishi has always been a staunch royalist, and he and Ye Yichen and Ye Fengqi are politically disagreeable. The county lord of Qingjiang naturally would not be idle and came to get close to the Yang family.
Of course Yulan understands this truth.
Yulan said humbly: "The county lord is willing to come to our mansion, which is the blessing of our Yang family!" ”
Seeing that Yulan dealt with it generously, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't help but like it even more, thinking that his younger brother had not yet married a concubine, wouldn't it be right to match her to his younger brother. As for her status as a concubine, with her character and appearance, this small flaw is completely negligible. It's just that I don't know what it means for the sixteen brothers of Lu Dao to be mixed in it. No, you must ask him when you go back!
Thinking about his thoughts, the carriage of the county lord of Qingjiang has arrived at the Yang Mansion, and the county lord has already sent the news to the Yang family in advance, the door of the Yang Mansion is open at this time, and the eldest lord and the fifth lord personally greet them at the door, and the county lord of Qingjiang greeted them through the curtain, and the carriage drove directly into the second gate.
I saw a large number of people gathered in front of the second gate, the maids were playing lanterns, and the old lady, the eldest lady, the second wife, the fifth wife, Yuxia, and Yuqing were all waiting at the door.
The old lady and the nine girls had already returned to the capital, and they were all protected by Ye Yichen's iron guards, although they had to suffer some hardships, they did not have so many twists and turns and risks compared to Yulan. The old lady has been thinking about Yulan, she can't eat anything, this evening the county lord of Qingjiang sent the news back to the Yang Mansion, the old lady was so happy that she didn't care about her body, and took a large family to pick it up.
Yulan got down from the carriage and knelt on the ground at once: "The granddaughter is not filial, so the old lady is worried!" As soon as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears fell. After such a long period of contact, her estrangement with the old lady has completely disappeared.
"Good granddaughter, get up quickly! Let me see, you've worked hard all the way and haven't been hurt in any way, right? Xinghuang pulled Yulan up from the ground very discerningly, and the old lady took her hand and looked up and down, and saw that she had all her beards and tails, so she was slightly relieved.
"Old lady, don't worry, I said a long time ago that Sister Lan Erji has her own natural appearance, and nothing will happen, you see that this will come true!" The eldest lady joked on the side.
Yulan came forward to meet all the elders one by one, although the eldest lady didn't value her very much, she was always happy to come back. Yuqing hugged her and cried and laughed, the two sisters were scattered by the Jurchen cavalry that day, although Yuqing fled all the way back, she was always worried about the seventh sister, Yulan couldn't help but be very moved when she saw her true feelings.
Only Yuxia looked at her unkindly, as if to say: Why didn't you die outside?
The last is Xiaoyue Xiaoyu's two personal girls and Qian's mother, and the two maids all cried when they saw Yulan.
When the county lord of Qingjiang saw their family reunited, he only watched with a smile from the sidelines. Seeing that it was almost over, he interjected: "The seventh girl followed me all the way, and really suffered a lot, and now although she came back intact, she had a cold, so I left her in the house for a night, and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for her, the old lady must not be surprised!" When she came, Ye Fengqi had already taught her how to speak.
The fifth lady was as careful as a hair, and faintly felt that something was wrong, since she came back yesterday, why didn't she send someone to deliver the letter yesterday, and she didn't send someone back in person until today. But of course it won't be said.
The old lady took the county lord's hand and thanked her for her kindness. "Don't dare to blame the county lord, don't dare to blame the county lord! This time, Lan Yatou was able to come back safely, thanks to the support of the county lord. Since the county lord is here, please come to my Songhe Hall to talk about it! ”
The county lord of Qingjiang smiled: "Since this is the case, it will be disturbed." However, I also brought some pills with me in the carriage, which I asked the Imperial Doctor to prepare yesterday. The seventh girl's body has not healed now, but she can't stop the medicine. The seventh girl and I have a similar temper, and I am really a little reluctant to send her back! Hehe...... "That pill is naturally not prepared by the imperial doctor, but in fact, it was handed over to the county lord of Qingjiang by Ye Yichen after asking Divine Doctor Xue to prepare it." In addition to the pills, the carriage of the county lord of Qingjiang also brought a lot of gifts, all of which Ye Yichen asked the housekeeper to prepare in advance.
Yulan didn't know about it until now, and she couldn't help but be very moved. I didn't expect the prince to be quite careful.
The old lady, the eldest lady and others accompanied the county lord of Qingjiang to Songhe Hall. Yulan was not in good health, so Xiaoyue Xiaoyu supported her, and Mother Qian followed behind, said goodbye to all relatives, and returned to Lujingzhai first.
Mother Qian had already taken the little girls to clean Yulan's house and replace it with a new bedding. Yulan returned to his one-third acre of land from the palace, and he only felt that he was ironing everywhere, and he couldn't say how comfortable it was. The two girls served her to take a bath, changed into a clean middle coat, and lay on the bed, although it was still early, but Xiaoyue Xiaoyu knew that Miss Dao was tired all the way, so she quietly turned off the lights and exited the room.
Yulan lay on the bed and wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, thinking about what happened along the way, she felt like a dream, and somehow began to miss Ye Yichen.
Yulan couldn't help but despise herself. When I was in the palace, I wanted to come back early. I'm really back, and I've been missing people again for a while, and this rhythm is a little wrong!
I finally fell asleep in a daze, and the next day I got up and had breakfast, and the old lady came over in person. Fortunately, he had already confessed to the county lord of Qingjiang yesterday, and Yulan only said that she was rescued by the guards of the county lord of Qingjiang, and then followed her all the way back to Beijing. Yulan didn't want to lie to her grandmother, but she and the prince were "like that", and the old lady couldn't let the old lady know about it, so Yulan had to lie against her will.
The county lord of Qingjiang had already said this, and the old lady naturally would not suspect it, and the old lady asked her about her condition carefully, so she stayed in the courtyard to recuperate.
As soon as the old lady walked on her front foot, the eldest lady came. Then the second wife, the fifth wife, and Yuqing came to see her one after another. Yulan had to repeat that lie over and over again, and when it came to the worst, she was tired of it.
After lunch, someone from the palace also came. The crown princess sent a green branch and took a few rulers that were rewarded to Yulan to Lujingzhai. No matter how unfavored the crown princess is, she is also one of the few figures in the palace, Yulan personally knelt down to receive the reward, and the green branch stepped forward to help her up and carried her into the room.
Yulan saw that the green branches looked good, and knew that Yuxin's recent life should be better, and she was a little relieved. Sure enough, when she sat down and asked, Lu Zhi didn't hide it from her, recently, the prince was busy supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and he had been stationed in Tongzhou, and the princess stayed alone in Yuqing Palace, and her life was much better than when the prince was in the palace.
The queen is kind, and because of the relationship between the queen mother and Yang Shoufu, she is very kind to the crown princess. The crown princess accompanied the queen to chant and worship the Buddha all day long, and with the queen's support, the servants in Yuqing Palace did not dare to take it any longer, and Yuxin gradually straightened out the palace affairs, not as powerful as at the beginning.
Lu Zhi said later: "The crown princess called me to talk to you, she heard the prince say, this time the Jingshi is very dangerous, please persuade the old lady more, don't be rash, stay here only waiting for death!" Yulan was also taken aback, the old lady invited herself to stay in Beijing and assist King Jin in handling government affairs, which she also just knew.
Unexpectedly, grandpa, is still a bloody person!
Lu Zhi said: "The crown princess asked me to tell you, the emperor's southern tour is about to set off, let you prepare early, when the time comes, the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as the families of hundreds of officials, will follow, and the emperor will issue a special decree soon!" ”
Yulan knew that if the old lady didn't leave, their family members would definitely follow the royal driver, just like Ye Yichen's son Ye Minwen.
