Chapter 182: One Hundred and Eighty-Two
According to the rules of marriage at that time, the bride must complete the "aunt and uncle", and complete the ceremony of becoming a woman after meeting her in-laws for tea, but Ye Yichen's parents died early, and the new daughter-in-law should go to the family temple three months after the marriage. But the Ye family's family temple is different from others, the Ye family's family temple is in the Fengxian Hall of the Forbidden City.
What a solemn and sacred place is enshrined in the Fengxian Palace, such a solemn and sacred place, non-important celebrations, large-scale activities, the emperor will not easily ask people to open it, Yulan originally thought that this article did not have to be done. can listen to Ye Yichen's meaning, it seems that he still has to do it. So how is he going to convince the current emperor?
Yulan had already discovered that the atmosphere between Ye Yichen and the emperor was not quite right, and Yulan could feel that the emperor was not just scruples about him. Ye Yichen didn't want to talk about this now, and Yulan had to stop asking.
Yulan saw that the man's expression was gloomy, and he seemed to remember some unbearable past, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Lord Wang, you drink tea!" ”
Yulan lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, like a frightened little rabbit, Ye Yichen looked at his little wife, and tenderness swelled in his heart, and he was slightly apologetic. Today is a good day for her to return to the door, and she should definitely not show her face. I put those unpleasantness behind me. He didn't pick up the thin porcelain teacup handed over by Yulan, but picked up her white chin with one hand: "What? Did you scare you just now? ”
Yulan smiled and said: "No, no ......" Yulan has been in contact with him for so long, and it is indeed the first time he has seen the prince treat her with such a face, and he sank his face, but ...... It's scary!
Ye Yichen's big hand lingered on Yulan's face, with a slight smile in his eyes: "Really? ”
Yulan was looked at by his bright eyes, "...... Yes! ”
Ye Yichen finally picked up the cup of tea poured by Yulan, drank it all, and put the thin porcelain teacup back on the small table, before saying, "Don't worry, it won't be like this in the future!" ”
Yulan subconsciously asked, "What is it for?" ”
Ye Yichen laughed a little, his little wife seemed to like to ask what was wrong! He said, "What else can I do for it?" This king didn't marry you back to make you angry! ”
Yulan let out a long breath, and his whole body relaxed: "Lord Wang, you are a big hero and a hero, a spit and a nail, but you can't forget today's words!" ”
Ye Yichen couldn't cry or laugh: "Naturally, I won't forget!" ”
Yulan arched over him and found a suitable posture, "Then I'll rest assured, I just ate a few more glasses of wine, I'm a little tired, I'm still far from home, I want to take a break." When will you get home, please call me. "Yawned, and just fell asleep.
Ye Yichen was angry, this person kicked his nose and face, and it was brilliant when he gave a little sunshine, he really couldn't take her. However, remembering that she inadvertently called the palace "home" just now, he couldn't help but feel a slight warmth in his heart. He hadn't felt at home in a long time.
Back at the palace on Jinghai West Street, it was already the beginning of the day. Yulan originally wanted to play a joke with the prince, but he didn't know that Lu Dao leaned on his broad shoulders and really fell asleep. The prince was also very obedient, and he really didn't wake her up until he got home, and he was still staring in a daze when he got out of the car.
Fortunately, Qian's mother was careful, and immediately took a cloak and put it on her body to avoid catching a cold.
Now in this palace, the prince is the biggest, followed by Yulan, and they can do whatever they want in this palace. The two returned to the main courtyard, Xiaoyue Xiaoyue came over to serve Yulan to change the red sleeve jacket, Yulan smiled: "Look at you who have no eyesight, why don't you call Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong over to wait for the prince to change his clothes." When Yulan returned to the door, she only brought four personal girls, Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong had been waiting in the main room, and now they were outside, and they didn't dare to come in without the summons of the main mother.
Ye Yichen said: "What's the need for such trouble, don't limit you to mine, just call two girls to come!" Yulan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my girl will be clumsy and won't be able to wait for the prince!" Look at Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong, who are used to waiting for you. ”
Ye Yichen said: "They are all maids, where did they come from so exquisitely!" Xiaofeng and Xiaoying were also on the side, waiting for the idle money mother not to let them into the room, but today took them back to the door together, and followed them into the house to wait, at this time, it was a good opportunity to get close to the prince, and both of them couldn't help but have some enthusiasm.
It has been a few days since I arrived at the palace, and the palace is splendid, and it is many times more luxurious than the Yang Mansion. As soon as they entered, they were almost dazzled by this splashing wealth. After careful investigation, they already knew that the prince in the Lu Dao Mansion only had one side concubine and one who had a room. What does the eldest lady mean by giving them to Yulan, although they didn't say it to the two of them, but they all knew in their hearts that seeing that the palace still had such a big space for struggle, they couldn't help but be very excited, they had all heard that every prince had four side concubines and eight concubines. You must know that in order to marry into the palace with Yulan, they did not give much money to Mother Wu, who was next to the eldest wife.
The two little girls are already very active. It seems that as long as they use one or two means, it is not a problem to become the prince's room and aunt, if they can give birth to a boy and a girl for the prince, maybe they can also be the side concubine who leaves their names on the jade plate. They all inquired clearly, and the only side concubine in the house, Qi Shi, was the personal girl who was married by the previous princess.
The role model is right in front of them, how can they not be impressed. Especially when the prince is so handsome and vulgar, and he is a hero admired by everyone in the world, how can they not quietly love in their hearts! What's more, the new lady looked very kind and generous, and they became more and more sure in their hearts.
Today, with the new lady returning to the door together, the two of them also deliberately dressed up, they are also a little beautiful, but the prince's eyes have been glued to the new lady's body, and he doesn't look at them. Although they are incomparable with the new lady in terms of self-knowledge, appearance, talent, and style, they can't help but be slightly disappointed in their hearts.
Now that this opportunity is sent to the door, the two of them can't help but be overjoyed, they don't have a delusion that the prince will be able to fall in love with them all of a sudden, they just want to get acquainted with the prince first, brush up on their sense of existence, and the opportunity will slowly come after a long time. Thinking so, they all took half a step forward.
Xiaoying and Xiaofeng's ideas and calculations were all seen by Yulan, today she just deliberately gave them a chance, just wanted to see what the two wanted to do, but they didn't expect them to be really fast, and they didn't want to serve themselves as the head master when they entered the room, but only wanted to get close to the male master of the palace. Yulan is really unhappy in her heart, it seems that she has to find an opportunity to remind them well.
Without her command, Xiaoyue had already taken a step forward, blocking the way of the two. Xiaoyue is a fiery temper, and when she returned to the door today, these two little hooves were each wearing a garnet-red jacket, dressed quite enchantingly, and Xiaoyue couldn't see it anymore.
This gown is still rewarded to them by Yulan, but at this time she wears it to attract bees and butterflies! At this moment, seeing the two of them rushing to wait for the prince to change clothes, she couldn't help but be even more angry, this kind of thing is naturally not easy to make trouble in front of the prince, so she took a step forward and blocked the way of the two.
The two of them were shocked, and they hadn't yet reacted to how to deal with it, Mother Qian had already called Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong outside the house, these two little girls were mediocre, and they lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes, and they didn't look as big as the big ones given by the eldest lady, she was relieved.
The two of them came in to serve the prince and changed into a royal blue straight jacket behind the screen, and Yulan also changed his clothes. Yulan waved his hand: "Go down with irrelevant people!" Xiaofeng and Xiaoying naturally knew who Lu Dao was talking about, their faces turned pale, and they withdrew from the house after making a blessing. Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong also retreated.
Ye Yichen sat down idly on the Taishi chair, looking at Yulan but smiling slightly, with a keen sense of insight in his smile. He saw all the small movements between the maids just now, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and naturally everything was clear in his heart.
Yulan was a little afraid to see him look at him like this, as if all the thoughts in his heart had been seen through by him.
The prince didn't retract his gaze until he looked at her uncomfortably. said lightly: "This kind of dog slave who doesn't know the sky and the earth and has no master in his eyes, just pull out the gang and beat him to death, why bother with a few cheap blanks." ”
"Ahem!" Yulan was drinking tea with her head down, and she was almost choked by the prince's words. Zhilu said that you are talking to me, but you don't have to directly beat people to death so violently!
Ye Yichen thought that she was just the face of the eldest wife, so he said in a big way: "If you feel that you can't get over the face, I will tell my mother-in-law!" I don't think she dares to say anything! ”
Yulan was dumbfounded when she heard it, the eldest lady was an elder in the end, and the prince was too domineering. How did she know that Mrs. Lu Dao still had a big handle in the hands of the prince.
Although Yulan has a lot of hatred for these two girls who don't know the height of the sky, she will not directly deprive others of their right to life. She hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about these small things in the inner house, I'll just handle it myself!" ”
Ye Yichen smiled faintly: "I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the inner house, I just don't want you to be wronged!" ”
"I know that the prince is good to me!" She smiled and grabbed one of Ye Yichen's hands and shook it, and quickly changed the topic and said, "If you want to eat anything more, I'll ask the small kitchen to do it!" "The small kitchen is dedicated to the food of the two masters of the main house, and the meals are extremely delicate and delicious, and Yulan has a little understanding of the past two days, and I heard that the cooks in the small kitchen are all imperial chefs dug by the prince from the palace.
Ye Yichen said: "I have eaten enough at the banquet just now, so there is no need to trouble anymore." If you're hungry, tell them to do it! ”
Yulan said: "I'm naturally not hungry, and I can't eat much." Or I'll ask them to make a bowl of decanting soup. ”
Ye Yichen waved his hand: "No need! None of them dared to actually pour me wine! ”
As he was talking, a little maid came in and said, "Lord Wang, madam, pray that the concubine and the eldest young master will come to greet the prince and his wife!" ”
Yulan then remembered that yesterday the prince said that the Qi family came to her today to receive the punishment!
Yulan went to see Ye Yichen and waited for him to come up with an idea. Ye Yichen's face darkened, and he said lightly: "Let them in." ”
After a while, Qi came in with Ye Minwen. The Qi family has learned to be obedient today, and the court clothes of the three-grade side concubine are no longer daring to wear them. I came in wearing only a bamboo-blue gown, and only an ordinary golden hairpin was inserted on my head, and I was dressed very plainly.
After coming in and saluting, he stepped aside.
Ye Minwen stepped forward cautiously and saluted in a proper manner, although he was young, his movements were steady. He shouted, "Father! Ye Yichen let out a "hmm" in his nose, "What about your mother?" He glanced at Yulan.
Ye Minwen saluted Yulan again, and for a long time, the word "mother" just couldn't be called, and unexpectedly called "Auntie!" ”
Ye Yichen's face sank. The teacup fell on the small table with a "bang", Ye Minwen's body shook, and he knelt on the ground very quickly, obviously he was also very afraid of Ye Yichen on weekdays. Qi Shi was startled, and then knelt down: "The eldest young master is still young and not sensible, please don't be angry with him!" ”
She didn't ask for it, but Ye Yichen was even more angry at this request, Ye Minwen had a good relationship with Yulan before, how could she suddenly reject her like this? It's naturally clear who is doing the ghost here. Ye Yichen snorted coldly: "You shut up for me!" Don't look at what kind of place this is, and you have to interject! ”
After making such a fuss, Ye Minwen cried again with a "wow".
For two days in a row, every time Ye Minwen came in to say hello, he had to cry. It's really a good show of "stepmother abusing her ex-wife's son", but what is wronged is that Yulan didn't say a word of heavy words, okay?
Yulan was so depressed that she wanted to hit the wall.
"Cry, cry, cry! Just know how to cry! Ye Yichen was about to die of anger with his son. He was a hero who ruled the world but couldn't communicate with his son, so he was really at a loss at this time. When he roared so loudly, Ye Minwen immediately didn't dare to speak, he only lay on the ground and sobbed silently, but he didn't dare to cry out loud.
Qi Shi crawled over and hugged him in his arms, tears welled up in his eyes, and Ye Minwen sobbed even more. Under this scene, even Ye Yichen didn't know what to do. Yulan sighed secretly, no wonder the Qi family dared to pinch herself as soon as she came up, she took Ye Minwen, and she took Ye Yichen's seven inches, even if Ye Yichen wanted to punish her, first, she had to take into account the face of the Bai family, and second, she had to take into account Ye Minwen's feelings.
Yulan had no choice but to come out and clean up the mess. She pulled Ye Yichen's arm, Ye Yichen didn't want to frighten his son, but he was the prince, and he needed a decent step at this time, as soon as Yulan pulled him, he sat down.
Yulan directly instructed Qi Shidao: "You take the eldest young master down first, coax him well, don't let him be scared." If you have any questions, feel free to report them! ”
Qi didn't say much, and after a blessing, he hugged Ye Minwen down.
Ye Yichen sighed and said to Yulan in annoyance: "I, Ye Yichen Hero I, how can I give birth to such a son, and wipe my tears at every turn......"
Yulan stood up and gently stroked his back: "Lord, Wen'er is still a child, and she is only five years old this year, and it is nothing for a child to cry a few times, why should the prince worry about this?" But you, you can't yell like this in front of him in the future, in case you are shocked, it's amazing. ”
Ye Yichen saw that she was reasonable and did not complain, and his heart was slightly moved: "Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely let him call your mother." ”
Yulan said: "It's just a title, so can you call your aunt like this?" ”
Ye Yichen said: "Isn't this a slap in the face in public?" ”
Yulan smiled slightly: "My face is important, but the healthy growth of children is even more important, do you say that it is not the prince!" When he is older and sensible, he will naturally know what to call me. The days are still long, and there is no hurry. ”
Ye Yichen thought about it, and still explained: "When I handed over Minwen to the Qi family to raise, on the one hand, I really couldn't find a suitable candidate in my house, and more importantly, the Qi family has been the son of the Bai Mansion for several lifetimes, and Minwen can only rest assured if she hands it over to her." The Bai family died unjustly, and I was unwilling to remarry the daughter of the Bai family, and I owed the Bai family a favor, and now it is even more difficult to move her. Moreover, over the years, she has taken care of Minwen with all her heart, and Minwen is also used to having her by her side, so she can't just dispose of her for a while......"
In other words, the Qi family is making ghosts behind his back, and the prince is not ignorant of the way, but the prince has these concerns, and the only son of the prince, Ye Minwen, is involved, and he can't really do anything to her. Ye Yichen could only lift it high and put it down gently, but in this way, Yulan was caught in the middle and suffered a lot of grievances.
It was Ye Yichen who had this explanation.
Yulan smiled freely: "Lord Wang, you don't need to say it, I understand all this." These things in the inner house are not your responsibility, so leave them to me! You still care about national affairs! ”
Ye Yichen saw her confident appearance, and couldn't help but wonder: "What, you're not afraid of being wronged?" ”
Yulan said: "The Qi family is just a side concubine, no matter how much credit she has, and no matter how much the Bai family supports her, she can still surpass me." At most, it just gives me an ugly look and makes me lose face in front of my subordinates, and this is nothing. Women are inherently difficult in this era, what is my grievance? Look at my sisters, which one is not a mother-in-law several layers, a lot of sisters-in-law, if I can't stand this, then I really don't know how to be blessed! ”
Ye Yichen made her eyes light up: "Are you telling the truth?" ”
Yulan smiled: "Do you think I'm such a bad person? What's more, I'm not the soft persimmon who knows how to be beaten and won't fight back? ”
Ye Yichen pinched her face and said jokingly: "What, what other killing tricks can't be made by our wife?" ”
Yulan slapped him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I am measured, and I will never use those unsightly methods." Anyway, you don't care, I'll leave the affairs of the inner house to these women. I must have let Wen'er grow up healthy and healthy, and I won't be wronged! ”
Ye Yichen said: "Where do you want to go, can you still trust your character!" ”
