Naturally, this matter could not be hidden, and soon no one in the entire Yang Mansion did not know the truth. I heard that there was a quasi-princess in the house, and for a while, everyone was honored, and Lu Jingzhai's status rose like a rocket.

The first person to enter the door to congratulate was Yuqing. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Congratulations to my sister for finding Ruyi Langjun," Yuqing has grown up a lot now, wearing a lake blue gown, a light yellow satin skirt, and her hair is neatly combed, and she looks like a little adult. Because of the second wife, Yuqing has a round face, which doesn't look as bright as Yulan and Yuxin, but it's a little more cute.

Yulan took her hand and told her to sit down, while instructing the maids to bring all kinds of snacks. Sure enough, Yuqing's eyes lit up when she saw the dim sum, and she was not polite to Yulan, so she grabbed it and ate it. After talking for a while, the ninth girl suddenly said: "The seventh sister will get married soon, and there is one less person in the family who loves me!" ”

Yulan stretched out her hand and scratched her nose vigorously: "You are not too young, it won't be long before the second aunt will show you the family, and when you get married in the future, it will be convenient, and our sisters can also move around from time to time!" ”

Yuqing's face couldn't help but darken slightly when she heard this, she was the youngest girl in the family, she was not only a concubine, but also had no talent, and she was not brilliant in everything, so she would inevitably not be taken seriously. It's not like Yulan, who has become a big backer of the old lady and the old lady through hard work. Her aunt was ineffective, and when she saw that her sisters were marrying better than the other, she naturally felt envious in her heart. Then he muttered: "I don't know what kind of family my wife will find for me!" ”

Yulan quipped: "What, this is in a hurry to get married?" Shame is not ashamed! Yuqing was coquettish again and again: "Sister, people are on good terms with you, so they say everything in their hearts, why do you want to make fun of others?" ”

Yulan giggled, "Good, good! Don't laugh at you, don't laugh at you! You don't have to worry, the second aunt will show you a good family affair. ”

The second wife is different from the eldest wife, she is a person with an excellent face, although she is not very close to the concubine, but she will not treat the concubine harshly, and she should always give the same lot. is for the sake of his reputation in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, and he will also work hard to find a good family for Yuqing.

After Yuqing left, Mrs. Fifth also came over with the girl's hand. Yulan personally welcomed her out of the room and welcomed her into the room, "Fifth aunt, sit down!" ”

The fifth lady sat down on the top, took her hand and said: "That day, I heard that the county lord of Qingjiang put forward this meaning, and I thought it was incredible, but today I didn't expect that even the old lady would be convinced." It is your blessing that you can marry into such a high family! ”

Yulan's face turned red, and he lowered his head slightly and said, "Aunt Lao is worried." ”

Mrs. Wu smiled: "This is also your blessing, I have always felt sorry for you when the Xie family quit the family, and today you have such a good marriage, I finally put my mind at ease." ”

These words were said very sincerely, and Yulan couldn't help but be moved. Speaking of the Xie family's retreat, Yulan knew the reason, and felt deeply sorry.

The fifth wife said: "There is no in-law in the palace, and there is no sister-in-law, no one will control you after you get married, but you are at ease!" You only have a good grasp of the prince, and it is not difficult to gain a foothold in the palace! The Jin prince is so famous, I don't know if it's good for the princess? I also heard that the prince has a child, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to be a stepmother with others. What do you have in mind? ”

These words are really heartfelt, these should have been taught to her by the eldest lady, but the eldest lady was not so careful, and she did not have that kind of mind. Yulan has also been thinking about this problem for the past few days, so she had to say: "Xiao Shizi, I will naturally treat him wholeheartedly." I'll try to be as measured as I can. ”

The fifth lady smiled: "You are a smart person, I just told you these things in vain." ”

Not long after the fifth wife left, another maid from Songhetang came to summon her. Yulan followed the maid to the old lady's bed, because the old lady's illness was good and bad, and no one dared to bother her about the difficult things in this house. It's just that Yulan's family affairs are such a big thing, and the old lady still came to say hello to her in person.

Although the old lady was sick, she was by no means confused. The last time she went to Changping, she took Yulan and Yuqing to go in person, and when the old lady knew about it, she also sighed that this marriage was not easy to come by.

As soon as Yulan entered the door, he knelt down for the old lady: "Grandmother, granddaughter is guilty!" Didn't tell my grandmother the truth about Changping's salvation! ”

"Get up! You are not to blame for this! Yao Huang personally stepped forward to help her up. The old lady sighed and said, "Your grandfather has already told me all these details, and the prince is still very sincere to you!" ”

Yulan was very curious, and she didn't know what Ye Yichen said to the old lady, so that the old lady finally changed her mind, and she wanted to ask the old lady, but she was embarrassed to ask after all.

"I was going to match you with Min-soon's kid...... At this point, all this is useless. The old lady shook her head slightly, always feeling that her grandson was more suitable for Yulan than Ye Yichen. If you marry in the past, you have to marry and teach your children well, and you will have a good life! The old lady told her a lot of words, and the content was exactly the same as that of the fifth lady, and then she let Yulan go back.

The prince acted quickly, and three days later, he invited a big media to come to the door to propose marriage. The matchmaker invited by the prince was none other than the current queen. It was naturally inconvenient for the queen to leave the palace, so she sent Qiu Ju, the great eunuch of Kunning Palace, as a representative, and the county lord of Qingjiang brought gifts to the door in person.

Of course, the Yang family opened the door to greet them. This time, the county lord of Qingjiang came over with Ye Yichen's Geng post, and the eldest lord even wrote Yulan's Geng post and handed it over to the man to take back. The next step is to ask the monks to unite the eight characters of the two people. has come to this point, basically, the relationship between the two people is already a certainty.

Previously, the news that the prince of Jin asked to marry the daughter of the Yang family spread out. This kind of gossip has always spread extremely quickly. All of a sudden, this was rumored in the circle of high-ranking ladies. Everyone said everything, some people were envious, some people were jealous, but the one who said the most was this little concubine, who was not worthy of Ye Yichen, the imperial noble.

It's just that no one expected Ye Yichen to attach so much importance to such a little concubine, and even invited the queen to come forward to match him in person. This kind of marriage that has been blessed by the queen herself, who dares to chew his tongue, for a while, everyone is left with envy, jealousy and hatred.

In the side hall of Jingyang Palace. Ye Minzhao asked the two personal eunuchs Xiao Hanzi and Xiaozi who were kneeling on the ground in disbelief: "Are you all true?" ”

Xiao Hanzi raised his head and secretly glanced at the little prince. I saw that his handsome little face had almost turned the color of pig liver. It's just that the little prince's words can't help but answer, so he has to say: "The prince of Jin invited the queen to be the matchmaker himself, and he has already asked for Miss Yang's Geng post, and now there is a discussion of this matter everywhere in the capital!" ”

The little prince was pale and in a trance. Sixteen uncles, really sixteen uncles. The little prince remembered the sachet that Yulan personally embroidered with the prince of Jin, and the pain was like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

Uncle Sixteen, how can you rob the woman I like? Sister, how can you marry someone else but me?

The little prince staggered out the door. "Little Prince!" Xiao Hanzi and Xiao Zi hurriedly got up and chased after them.

In the small Buddha hall of Jingyang Palace, the mist formed by ambergris in the incense burner at the four corners rose, and Concubine Hui knelt in front of the Buddha statue with a solemn face, praying devoutly.

The little prince suddenly pushed open the door and broke in. "Mother, mother! You help me, you help me! Behind him were a few palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom were cowering.

Concubine Hui saw that her son's face was hideous, and her face was covered with tears. My heart couldn't help sinking, she only gave birth to such a son in her life, she got along with him day and night since she was a child, I don't know how much effort she spent on him, and no one knew her son better than her. So in an instant, she knew that the matter of the prince and Yulan's marriage made him know the way.

Concubine Hui is extremely smart, rare in the deep world of the city, just look at her can enter the palace as a Qing people, in the treacherous harem, not only the emperor's favor has not decreased for more than ten years, but also gave birth to a son, raised to such a big age, becoming the third person in the harem, you can know her wrist.

She has no last resort in her life, and the only thing she regrets is letting her son see Yulan, she can't understand why Yulan has such a great charm and lets her son protect her at the cost of his life.

Concubine Hui slowly stood up, Concubine Hui made a look, and all the palace maids bowed down and retreated to close the door of the palace.

"Do you know everything?" She sat down on a rosewood chair next to the Buddha statue. Concubine Hui is naturally much better informed than the little prince, but she doesn't want to hide this matter from the little prince for too long, the long pain is better than the short pain, and sooner or later she will know the truth.

The little prince didn't say a word, and knelt on the ground: "I beg my mother to have mercy, don't let the Yang family's sister marry the sixteenth uncle!" I know that you have a way, and you will definitely have a way! In the mind of the little prince, although his mother is a woman, as long as she wants to do things, she will never be able to do it, even her father is inferior to her. So when the little prince encounters such a thing, the first thing that comes to mind is his mother, not his father.

Concubine Hui's voice sounded coldly, full of endless majesty: "It's late. Now that the Geng posts of the two families have been changed, everything has become a fait accompli, what can I do? ”

The little prince took two steps on his knees and hugged Concubine Hui's legs: "No, no! Mother, I know that you will have a way, and there will be a way. You can't let the elder sister of the Yang family marry the sixteenth uncle, you go and beg your father, your father will definitely listen to you, you let your father give her to me! The little prince cried as he spoke, it was simply incoherent.

Concubine Hui couldn't help but be furious: "This palace has worked hard to raise you to such a big age, you only have this little bit of talent, crying for a woman, what kind of system has it become?" ”

The little prince said: "It's different! It's not the same! Sister Yang is different from ordinary women, her son doesn't want anything, as long as she! ”

Concubine Hui smiled angrily and said, "Okay, it's really a good son I raised." How much effort did it take me to form an alliance with your sixteenth uncle, and how much help he has helped you in your great cause, do you still need me to tell you again? How much effort the prince has spent on this woman can't hide it from me, you must also know a little bit about it! Are you guilty of fighting your sixteenth uncle for a concubine? ”

The little prince touched the ground with his head: "Mother, except for this matter, my son will listen to you!" ”

Concubine Hui softened her tone and said: "Emperor, you must always remember that you are the son of the emperor today, and what flows in your veins is the most noble royal blood, if you want beautiful women, there are so many women in the world, it is not for you to take and carry, this palace promises you: in the future, if you like it, this palace will never interfere!" Miss Yang Qi is destined to have no chance with you, you, forget her! ”

Seeing her son so sad, Concubine Hui was also very distressed.

"Good boy, the mother concubine knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances, but all this is for you to be able to ascend the throne in the future, to be able to reign in the world, for the supreme throne in the world, now all the plans are implemented very smoothly, it won't be long before we can bring down the crown prince and King Zhao, and you ......can't do what you want to do at that time."

The little prince laughed miserably, and suddenly roared loudly: "Throne! It's the throne again! I know the truth! I know the way! Everything you do is for the throne. Good! As long as Uncle Sixteen is willing to give Yulan to me, that bullshit throne, I will let him be good! ”

"Smack!" Concubine Hui stood up and slapped her son hard: "After so many years of careful adjustment and teaching, I have taught you such an ingrown son!" You've let me down so much! ”

Concubine Hui slammed open the door and walked out, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside the door were so frightened that they fell to their knees under her powerful momentum.

Concubine Hui ordered categorically: "Send someone to bring the little prince back to the side hall, before the wedding of the prince of Jin, she is definitely not allowed to go out of Jingyang Palace, if anyone dares to disobey my orders, take care of his head!" ”
