The eldest lady got up early the next morning and hurried to Cining Palace, stayed in the palace for two hours, and returned to Yang's Mansion before noon. When I came back, my face was full of dark clouds, and I didn't eat, so I went inside and talked secretly with the eight girls, and the girl who was guarding outside only vaguely heard the sound of the big lady smashing things and Yuxin's high-pitched roar.

After a while, the eldest lady walked out with a blue face, and told the girl to watch Yuxin tightly and not let her walk around. I don't even call for food.

Yulan had just had breakfast, and it was cold in recent days, plus the girls of the Yang family were preparing to get married, and the draft was drafted, and there were only three or two big cats and kittens left. Yulan didn't have to go to school, so he leaned on the kang, held a small white jade hand stove in his arms, picked up a scroll of food and goods and read it.

In fact, she wanted to take a look at the dozen dozen pieces and newspapers in the Songfeng Study, but in this era, "women are virtuous if they are not talented", and she seems to be a little different, so she is still the same as the light.

But half an hour, Xiaoyue lifted the curtain and entered the house with a breath of cold air, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "The eighth girl is grounded by his wife!" I didn't even eat breakfast! ”

Yulan's heart skipped a beat. The eldest lady came back from the palace once and behaved like this, I am afraid that the eighth girl and Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao, will get married...... It's a bit of a hang!

I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads are inseparable. In this era, if a woman wants to realize this dream, how many hardships and obstacles she has to go through!

Yulan only felt depressed in her heart, threw down the thick book in her hand, and said to Xiaoyue: "There is a little depression in the house, help me out of the house and go for a walk!" ”

After changing into cotton clothes and putting on a magenta velvet cloak, Yulan just walked out of the house when a maid ran in in a panic: "Seventh girl, there is a holy decree coming ahead, Mrs. please pick up and pick up the decree in the main courtyard!" Yulan was taken aback, it had been so long in ancient times, and this was the first time she had received the order.

When I returned to the room, it was a mess, if I didn't get married, I didn't have a seal, and I didn't have a court dress, Yulan felt that she was dressed formally enough, so she hurried to Yiningju with Xiaoyue.

In the main courtyard, the fifth master was wearing an official uniform and was talking with an official. Look at the official uniform on the supplement, it should be a third-grade official. Half a level older than the fifth master. The old lady, the eldest lady, the second wife, and the fifth wife are all in the same makeup and so on. Several girls also came, and standing behind the wives, the eight girls looked confused and very uneasy.

After a while, the eldest master and the second master also hurried in official uniforms, obviously getting the news that they had just returned from the yamen. Everyone exchanged a few words, and Yulan heard that the eldest master and the second master all called him to praise the minister, and his heart moved. Understand the origin of this will, which refers to the holy decree of marriage.

The feudal society has a strict hierarchy, and there are strict steps for the prince to get married.

How is it so?

The official chatted a few words and saw that the people were almost there, so he smiled and said: "Three Lord Yang, since the people are almost together, let's read the holy decree!" ”

The eldest lord said: "Then there is Master Lao!" After that, he took off his robe and knelt facing north. Everyone in the Yang family also knelt on the bluestone slab in the courtyard with the eldest master. The minister of praise stood facing west, opened the multicolored white cloud and crane pattern and read out the holy decree: "There is a decree, and now the eighth daughter of the Yang family is matched with the crown prince Ye Minshu as a concubine." ”

Yuxin only felt a thunderbolt explode above her head, and her body was weak and almost fell to the ground, Yulan knelt beside her and immediately supported Yuxin quietly. She only felt that Yu Xin's little hand was cold and cold, without the slightest temperature.

Yulan was also sad in her heart, and she really called herself unlucky. The Queen Mother was afraid that as soon as her illness improved, she immediately sent a minister to announce the decree, as for what she had said in the Hall of Benevolence, who would dare to mention half a sentence under the fait accompli? It's just that he feels sorry for Yuxin, and he still wants to marry King Zhao and be his princess!

The eldest lord has already received the order. "Congratulations to Lord Yang, congratulations to Lord Yang, there is a crown princess in the house! What a joy! When the minister finished his errand, he relaxed, and immediately said joy with a spring breeze on his face. The eldest lady is also full of spring breeze, today to Cining Palace, the queen mother has woken up, but the state is very bad, the eldest lady heard what happened during the draft in the Tiren Palace yesterday, only jumped up in shock. The queen mother instructed her to watch Yuxin, and the eldest lady didn't expect her aunt to be so categorical, so she directly sent the minister of praise to Yang Mansion to read the decree of marriage.

She didn't know that there was another thing in the Dao, there was more than one minister of praise, and another minister was sent to the Xiao family and pointed out Xiao Shi's girl Yunqian to Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao.

Everyone's happy! In addition to the parties Yu Xin and Ye Minyu.

At this time, the eldest lord had already opened the ancestral hall and was ready to enshrine the holy decree. Yulan helped Yuxin to stand up slowly, she was already a little weak after being hungry, and there was no trace of blood on her white little face at this time. If it weren't for Yulan's support, she wouldn't even know if she would have the ability to stand up. Happiness used to be so close to her, but in the blink of an eye, God cruelly shattered her dreams.

She suddenly shouted, "Wait! My lord, I have something to say! ”

The Yang family was all overjoyed when they got the holy decree, except for Yuxia's face was a little ugly, everyone else was full of excitement, after all, there was a crown princess, and everyone was honored. After hearing Yu Xin's words, everyone was stunned and moved their eyes to her.

Minister Zanli naturally knew that this was the soon-to-be-crowned princess Yang Ba girl, and seeing that although she was still young, her color was really outstanding, she couldn't help but nod secretly. He bowed slightly and said, "What do you command?" ”

Yu Xin was relieved, she left everything behind: "I want to take a look at that holy decree, I don't believe it's true!" On the Tiren Palace, it was clearly ...... "The Yang family, all the old and the young, suddenly changed color, questioning the emperor's holy decree, that is a big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door!"

Yulan stood beside her, seeing that she would say another word, even Zhao Wang Ye Minyu was about to say it, and it could be said that it was a matter of nothing to question the holy decree, if it was revealed that Ye Minyu had a personal affair with her, then the eight girls really didn't want to live, and the spitting stars could drown her. All the sisters of the Yang family will also be unlucky with her.

Yulan stretched out her hand and covered Yuxin's mouth. "My lord, the eighth sister is emotional, and she doesn't choose what to say, don't be surprised!" Yuxin was crazy, and bit Yulan's hand hard, and actually bit her hand openly, and her mouth was immediately full of blood. Yulan didn't care about the pain, and only said: "The eighth sister lost her words for a while, and she never meant to blaspheme the holy will, don't blame me!" ”

The eldest lady also reacted at this time, and said to the overwhelmed maid in the distance: "Are they all dead?" Don't help the eight girls back! The two little girls came up to help Yuxin, and Yulan didn't dare to let go until she entered the room. I only felt that my hands were wet, bleeding from the bite place, and wet liquid, she knew that it was the tears of the eighth sister.

At that moment, Yulan's heart was also like a knife.

Outside the minister praised the minister as a personal sperm, originally thought that getting this errand would please both the prince and the Yang family, this kind of happy thing The Yang family would definitely not let him go home empty-handed, but who knew that Lu Dao had a glimpse of such a scene, there are still people in the world who are unwilling to marry the prince as the crown princess? He had lived forty years and had never seen such a girl. It's just that he knows the Tao, and the more others secretly know the Tao, the more dangerous it is, especially when this matter is related to the prince, and the old fritter of officialdom immediately retreated. "It's not too early, now that the will has been read, the lower official will leave!"

The eldest lord originally wanted to set up a banquet to entertain the minister, but it was obviously out of place for such a thing, so he personally sent the minister out of the house, and when the minister was about to get into the carriage, the eldest lord took advantage of people's inattention to stuff a silver ticket to him. The Minister of Praise glanced at the amount on the silver ticket, tucked it into his sleeve, and his face immediately looked a little better.

The eldest man said: "The little girl is not sensible, she collided with the adult, you have a lot of adults, don't blame!" ”

The minister of praise is also a good way, and he said busily: "Let the daughter be gentle and gentle, and be courteous and courteous, and deserve to be elected as the crown princess." As for the rest, the lower officials were dazzled and deaf, they didn't see anything, they didn't hear anything! ”

The two men looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

The eldest lord sent off the minister, returned to the main courtyard with a gloomy face, and entered the inner room, only to see the eldest lady sitting on the top angrily, Yulan standing on the ground, and a little maid taking gauze to carefully bandage her wounds. Yuxin's expression was blank, and she didn't say a word while sitting on the kang.

Seeing the eldest man come in, Yulan hurriedly gave a salute and called his father. Anyway, Yulan made a great contribution just now, if she hadn't covered Yuxin's mouth in time, I don't know what earth-shattering words this girl would have said. The eldest lord nodded at her gently.

The eldest lady sat down next to the eldest lord's kang, and the eldest gentleman glanced at Yulan: "There's nothing for you here, you go down first!" Yulan was so good at observing words and colors, she should have left a long time ago, but she was really relieved that Yuxin wouldn't be able to do it, so she stayed for a while, and now she had to leave if she didn't want to.

Yulan Shili withdrew from Yining Residence, and quietly glanced at Yuxin when she left: Eighth sister, you ask for more blessings!

Yulan walked out of the main house, and there were only three people left, the old man and the eldest lady and Yu Xin, and the little girl had already closed the door. The eldest man stood up and stepped forward and gave Yuxin a slap: "I'll kill you for being unfilial and disobedient!" He didn't like to be arrogant and arrogant Yu Xin, originally Yu Xin was about to marry into the East Palace, and her identity value increased greatly, and the eldest lord was ready to have a good relationship with her, but she suddenly made such a fuss, almost implicating the entire family, and the eldest lord immediately put up a feudal patriarchal shelf.

Yu Xin covered her face and raised her head, looking at her father stubbornly.

The eldest lady felt sorry for her daughter, and got up to block the rain in front of Xin: "Master, what are you doing here, Xin'er is also your daughter no matter what she says, how can you do this!" ”

The eldest lord glared at the eldest lady fiercely: "Do you know that if this sentence is spread out today, our whole family will be killed!" ”

The eldest lady took a breath, she didn't know this. turned around and persuaded bitterly: "The prince is the prince of a country, and he will be the emperor of Great Chu in the future, if you marry the prince, you will be the crown princess, and it won't be long before you become the queen. Where is the crown prince not ten times better than King Zhao, how can you ...... Ay! The eldest lady listened to the Queen Mother's relay, and when she thought of Yuxin's unreasonable actions after seeing King Zhao in Cining Garden that day, she immediately understood a little. came back and confronted Yu Xin, Yu Xin was a person who couldn't hide her heart, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and spit out everything.

Yu Xin's eyes were red, and she screamed: "I won't marry that bullshit prince, whoever wants to marry whom!" ”

The eldest lord was confused: "What? Why did this matter get involved with King Zhao again! What are you hiding from this evil obstacle? ”

As soon as the eldest lady told her what had happened, the eldest man was so angry that he jumped like thunder: "You shameless thing!" Since the marriage is a major event, it is the order of the parents, you and you...... Do you want to make a private life regardless of etiquette? When did my Yang family raise such a corrupt fool as you! ”

The eldest lord scolded Yu Xin, but Yu Xin just sat there coldly and didn't say a word. Seeing that this was not a solution, the eldest lady persuaded the eldest master, and said softly to Yuxin: "Anyway, now that the decree of marriage has been made, even if this marriage is decided, no one can change it." You don't want to think about the Yang family yourself, you just obediently prepare for marriage at home, and forget about that King Zhao! ”

The eldest lord remembered something at this time, and said with a change of color: "Today's matter, you must not let the prince know a little!" The eldest lady also reacted, if this matter was known by the prince, where would there be a good life in the future. Thinking that the mother and daughter of Hexiang Pavilion had been eyeing the main courtyard, the eldest lady couldn't sit still, and when she went out of the room, she summoned the mother-in-law and maids to give instructions. He also asked people to watch the access control, and paid more attention to Aunt Liu, so he let go of his mind a little.

When he returned to the house, he broke it again and crumpled it again to persuade Yu Xin, who looked wooden and had no intention of turning around. After a while, the old lady sent someone to summon her, and the eldest lord and the eldest lady had to go to Songhe Hall first.
