The eldest lord sent Princess Yanqing and her entourage out of the mansion, and watched the carriage with the emblem of the palace go far away, and then returned to the inner house. I saw that in the weeping flower gate, a mother-in-law with two little maids was waiting there, and it was the eldest lady who sent her to pick up the eldest master to the main courtyard. The fifth girl, Yuxia, was also waiting for the red lacquer pillars, and when she saw her father coming, she immediately came over to say goodbye. Jiaodi said: "Father, my daughter has recently learned to paint plums, but she can't paint well, if my father has time, can I go over and guide my daughter?" ”

The eldest lord has always spoiled her, so naturally she has no objections. The eldest lady sent a maid and a maid to ask for peace. couldn't say a word, and was sent away by the old man. So the father and daughter, a group of maids and sons, surrounded by a group of maids, went straight to the Hefeng Courtyard.

It wasn't until everyone walked away that the leading mother-in-law snorted hatefully: "I've never seen Hefeng Yuan so shameless, in order to compete for favor, even my daughter was sent out." Everyone, Miss Don't want to be faced! What a work! The people went back angrily and told the eldest lady not to mention it.

The eldest man walked for a while, and suddenly remembered that an important official business in the outer courtyard had not yet been handled, so he ordered Yuxia to go back to the Hefeng Courtyard first, and he hurriedly went to the south study of the outer courtyard with a maid.

Yuxia returned to Hefeng Courtyard, and Aunt Liu, as an aunt, was not qualified to accompany guests, but at this time, she had already received the news, and she had already dressed up and guarded the gate of the courtyard. Seeing that the eldest man didn't come with him, he couldn't help but be surprised, Yuxia helped her biological mother into the hall, waved everyone away, and closed the door again, Aunt Liu couldn't help complaining as soon as she sat down: "My girl, do you have to think about this today!" You are a girl's house, and you personally ran to the second gate to pick up your father...... Niang Zhilu said that you are for the good of your mother! My mother is not afraid of poking the backbone in the back, but you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, 'helping your aunt compete for favor', how bad it is to say this! ”

"Mother......" Yuxia snorted for a moment, and also realized that this matter was inappropriate. In the end, she is young and has not experienced the stability of Aunt Liu. In fact, with Aunt Liu's degree of favor, even if she competes for favor, she will never send her daughter out. It's because she is too anxious and messes up. There was nothing to say to her biological mother, and Yuxia said, "Mother, I called my father to Hefeng Courtyard to ...... There's something I want to ask him ......"

Aunt Liu was puzzled: "What the hell is going on?" Swallow and spit and spit out! ”

“…… I," Yuxia blushed, "I want to beg him...... Tell me to my second cousin. "After all, it's everyone's girlfriend, and when it comes to their own relatives, even if they are facing their biological mother, they are still shy.

Aunt Liu couldn't help but be stunned! The expression on his face gradually became solemn: "Girl, you are everyone's lady, Miss Jin Zun Yugui." Since the marriage is the order of the parents, how can you ask yourself about the marriage? If this is known by Yiningju, I don't know how to arrange you! ”

Yuxia blushed, "Naturally, I won't go out and talk nonsense!" Mother, when is it, don't tell me about these etiquette rules! Listen to you, father, you must help me this time. ”

Aunt Liu grabbed the armrest of the chair, her face was groaning, and there was a momentum between her eyebrows. My own child, how can I not love it, what I said just now was just two sentences of beating Yuxia, I am afraid that she will be caught, if she is really a strict etiquette and religious rules, how can she have today's day, faintly able to compete with Mrs. Zhengfang.

He groaned and persuaded: "That second cousin young master, it's not like I haven't seen it before. Although it is also the blood of the royal family, it can be regarded as a golden branch and jade leaf, but there is another brother above him who has become his own brother, where will it be his turn to inherit the prince? I heard your father say that the prince of Yanqing has written to the current saint to ask for the title of the eldest son. Once the position of the prince is decided, the second young master will be a prince of the country. Moreover, the king of Yanqing County and the country have no size merit, and the prince will go down, but even the prince will not be ...... "The Great Chu system, except for a very few people who have made great contributions, are given the golden treasure and gold book by the emperor, and get a hereditary title of reckless replacement - that is to say, what title is the father, and what title is the son - the rest are all downgraded titles, without the hereditary iron hat, it has become an idle clan for several generations, and it is no wonder that Aunt Liu looks down on Ye Minchun.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, the county king's mansion sounds good, if you talk about the power and position, where can you compare to the home of the prime minister. The fifth girl, Yuxia, don't look at it as a concubine, but her aunt is very favored by the eldest master, and the Xiangfu is decent, it is first-class. The degree of food, clothing, and enrollment education are all compared to the daughter-in-law, and Yuxia has long regarded herself as a daughter-in-law. The eldest man also said more than once that he would find a good man in the world for her to marry in the future. The mother and daughter are more energetic than the other, how can ordinary clans look at them?

“…… You can't just think about him because he is good-looking, marrying is a lifelong thing. ”

"Mother! What are you talking about? Yuxia was so ashamed that her face was feverish, and when she thought of her cousin's handsome face, her heart beat again, "Why don't you want to take the long run!" The second cousin has been friends with the prince since he was a child, studied together, and practiced martial arts together, and the prince will ascend to the throne in the future, can he not be reused? He is also the grandson of Emperor Taizong, and he is both civil and military, he can lead soldiers and politics, and he will make a few contributions in the future, and it is not difficult to get a prince! There are many such examples in the past dynasties. ”

Aunt Liu's expression became solemn: "Who are you listening to this?" "Although she is quite skillful and good at house fighting, she is a woman in the house after all, and she does not pay much attention to the political affairs of the court, so she naturally does not have much knowledge. But whether this is justified or not is still judged.

Yuxia pouted and said, "It's the slut from Lu Jingzhai who said." "Isn't it just that Yulan said it in a hurry when he was eating just now.

Aunt Liu was really surprised at this time: "She's only a little older." How can you have such insight? Aunt Liu's eyes were deep, and her expression became more and more serious: "Child, when the mother persuades you again, don't go against the seventh girl in the future." She has such insight at a young age, can she be a good match? I saw that even the old lady's heart was slowly being pulled over by her, which shows her means! ”

"Mother, you still say!" Yuxia stood up suddenly, thinking of today's Yulan scenery, she didn't get angry, "It's just a bitch who gives birth to a slut, why fight with me?" Why does the old lady like her and not me? Besides, what's so great about her, when something happens, my father is not on my side. Remembering the last time I put her together, a smug smile appeared on my face.

Aunt Liu was so anxious that she jumped to her feet: "Oh, my little ancestor, why are you so stubborn!" There is a way that more things are better than less things, and multiple enemies will give themselves more walls! Why do you have to get along with her? ”

Hatred and hatred came to her heart together, and the more Yuxia thought about it, the more angry she became: "She is against me all day long, and wants me to reconcile with her, dreaming!" Aunt Liu persuaded a few more words, but Yuxia just didn't listen. There was not much time, and the eldest master was coming soon, so he had to bring the topic back to Ye Minchun. Just asked: "Today's apricot blossom banquet, isn't it just for the second and third young masters to see each other?" Does Princess Yanqing have a favorite candidate in her heart? Did the girl notice at the time? ”

Yuxia frowned and thought for a while: "The third aunt is kind to everyone, I can't see who she is special about!" He smiled again and said proudly: "I think that although the capital is big, these so-called noble girls are just like that, and they are not particularly outstanding." In terms of appearance and talent, who can surpass me! Today I am doing poetry, but I am the first in public recommendation. Another daughter of a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, looking at her clothes, you can know that her family background is average, I am afraid that her father is a nerd who can only read dead books, and his clothes are half-old! ”

Aunt Liu looked at her flower-like daughter in front of her and was also relieved, "Child, there is no turning back when you open the bow, have you thought about it, is it the second cousin young master?" ”

Yuxia said categorically: "I think about it!" I just want to marry my cousin! ”

Aunt Liu shook her head: "Don't talk so much, in the past few years, my mother has been thinking about your marriage, but in fact, I have already thought about it." It's just that this matter is not good for you to know, and the time is not yet ripe, so I have not talked to you in detail. ”

"I think my cousin can't run away with a prince! In this world, how can there be a greater title than the throne, and how can there be a more noble status than the princess? Even those hereditary princes of the country, I don't like it! ”

"Bigger than the prince, of course!" Aunt Liu smiled mysteriously: "East Palace...... How is it? ”

"What? Mother ......" Yuxia stood up in shock, "You, you want to call me a ...... Crown Princess...... Nakanomiya Niangniang? This, is this possible? His voice trembled with excitement. If she really becomes the crown princess, then in the future, the prince will ascend to the throne, and she will be the queen of the world, under one person, above ten thousand people. Everyone will bow down at her feet, what a sight, what an honor? Thinking of this, Yuxia only felt that a stream of blood rushed up to her head, and the whole person was dizzy.

“…… Is this possible? ”

"The prince is seventeen years old this year, and the royal family attaches more importance to the continuation of heirs than ordinary hairpins and bells, but until now, the concubine position has been vacant, and even the side concubine has not accepted one. There are only a few low-ranking palace concubines waiting around......" Aunt Liu's tone was soothing, eloquent, and had a convincing charm, "I have knocked on your father several times, and many ministers in the outer court have written to the emperor to persuade the emperor to choose the crown princess for the crown prince as soon as possible." Now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill, the matter of the crown prince and concubine is bound to be done! ”

Yuxia asked blankly: "For what?" ”

Aunt Liu sighed lightly, her daughter still hasn't learned her meticulousness. "You think, Da Chu rules the world with filial piety, in case one day the queen mother is ascending, then it will be a national funeral, and you will have to keep the system for a year, the prince is already so old, where can you afford to delay! I guess, I'm afraid the queen mother is also anxious, thinking about rushing to get the prince's wedding. ”

Yuxia heard a burst of excitement: "That, I, I'm ......"

"Once the edict of the crown prince's draft is issued, I will make a message to your father and ask him to beg the old lady to send you to Yuqing Palace no matter what! The Yang family can also use this to consolidate the relationship with the prince, and you can learn by virtue of your appearance, which is a good and harmless thing. Your father would have said yes! As long as the old lady nods, the emperor will not give him face! Speaking of this, Aunt Liu sighed lightly, her voice was full of sourness: "It's a pity that you are not a wife after all, royal decency matters, this concubine position, I'm afraid ...... "I don't have your share!"

"Zhonggong, doesn't Zhonggong have my share after all?" Yuxia sat down on the chair dejectedly, only to feel that the cooked duck flew like this, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

"Kid!" Aunt Liu slowly walked to her daughter's side, squatted down, reached out and gently stroked her silky cheeks, tears burst out from the corners of her eyes: "It's all because my mother is not angry, and my mother can't give you an identity as a concubine." But don't worry, as long as you can enter the East Palace, a concubine will not be able to run away in the future. With the support of our Yang family, as long as you have enough skill, you will give birth to Lin'er one day, and take a long-term view, even the seat of Cining Palace is not impossible to think! ”

Yes, as long as she is the daughter of the Yang family, as long as she is the granddaughter of the first assistant in the world, even if she is not the main concubine, who would dare to bully her? has such a strong mother's family, as long as she can give birth to a son, her son will have a great chance of becoming the emperor in the future, and at that time she will be ten thousand people to worship the queen mother, who would dare to talk about whether she is a concubine or a concubine!

This is the roadmap she has been striving for all her life. Aunt Liu really has nothing to say to her daughter, and she plans all this properly. Thinking about this, Yuxia finally felt a little more comfortable in her heart, only to feel that a bright avenue had slowly unfolded in front of her, as long as she moved forward firmly step by step, a bright future was waiting for her.

Isn't this much better than being a princess who doesn't know if there is a princess?

"Mother, the child understands! Listen to you, children! Thinking of the second cousin's handsome and warm face, Yuxia was difficult to let go for a while. But compared to the wealth of the infinite heavenly family, Yuxia still resolutely eliminated her second cousin K.

Aunt Liu smiled with satisfaction, and her expression became solemn again: "Whether this thing is successful or not, the key depends on the old man's attitude." I have already begun to set it up, and your father has tried it many times, and it makes sense that there should be no major problem with him, and that he will be able to ask the old man in the future, which will be much better than we can speak. It's just that even if this thing really happens, this wealth is not so easy to bear. Since the Heavenly Family is a land of right and wrong, the palace is treacherous, and the conspiracy and calculation are more than ten times more than that of the Yang Mansion, and the road of the crown prince and concubine is by no means easy to walk. Son, you have to have a number in your heart. ”

Yuxia nodded, and a look of grandeur suddenly appeared between her eyebrows: "I understand that the wealth and wealth of the smoked people are not obtained for nothing, they are all fought out, with the daughter's character, family background, and appearance, if you don't believe it, you will lose to others." She looked at Aunt Liu with burning eyes, "Aren't you fighting for it like this......" A ready-made inspirational story of the upper position of the junior was placed in front of her, Miss Yuxia was full of confidence and her fighting spirit was very high, "In the future, my daughter will study hard with her mother!" Second cousin matter, my daughter will never mention it again in the future! ”

Aunt Liu laughed: "Silly boy, why are you so sincere!" The matter of the crown prince's side concubine, it's not that we can think about it, I don't know how many variables there are in the middle, the internal affairs office, the Zongren Mansion, the Yuqing Palace, the queen, the queen mother...... I don't know how many joints still need to be opened. This matter is not urgent, and it has to be planned slowly step by step. Of course, it's good to become, if there is an accident, then retreat to the second, the second cousin young master is such a family talent, it's a pity to let it go......"

Yuxia was so impressed that she threw herself to the ground, "Mother is really a last resort!" Stretched out his hand and grabbed Aunt Liu's sleeve, "You have to teach me these tricks and methods well in the future!" Regardless of whether you can marry into the East Palace or not, it will always be useful in the future! ”

"Good! Good! Aunt Liu hugged Yuxia dotingly, "As long as you want to learn, my mother will teach you everything!" No matter what, my mother will do her best to make you satisfied. You obediently listen to your father and wait for the edict of the draft in the palace. ”

The two mothers said a few more thoughtful words, and Aunt Liu told her daughter: "Today's matter, don't leak it!" If it is known by his wife, he will definitely obstruct it! ”

Yuxia nodded frequently: "Don't worry, I will be tight-lipped." ”

That night, the eldest man returned to the Hefeng Courtyard after completing his errands, and Aunt Liu took Yuxia into the room in person. The mother and daughter pinched their shoulders and beat their legs, taking turns telling jokes to make him happy, and the eldest man ate Su Ri and liked the dragon well in front of the Ming Dynasty, and his tiredness was swept away. On a whim, he brought a mother and daughter to the study, and really taught Yuxia to paint Meilai.
