Chapter 178: One Hundred and Seventy-Eight

Yin'an Hall is the main building of the Jin Palace, under normal circumstances, Yin'an Hall is not used, it is a place used by the princes of the past dynasties to hold major celebrations and meet important guests. The Yin'an Hall is extremely large, and there are more than a dozen Taishi chairs in the main hall, and there are more than a dozen gorgeously dressed men and women, and a room of palace maids and eunuchs waiting.

It was originally a buzzing voice, but when I saw the young couple finally come in, they all stood up. Yulan looked over and saw many acquaintances. Sitting at the top was none other than Ye Minshu, who was dressed in an apricot yellow robe, and beside him, it was his eighth sister, the crown princess, Yuxin, who was sitting upright. Next is King Zhao Ye Minyu, Princess Zhao Xiao Yunqian, Yanqing County King and his wife, and Princess Jing who made trouble in the cave room last time, the man in his forties wearing a python robe next to her should be Prince Jing.

In addition, the Qingjiang County Lord and his wife and Ye Fengqi, the King of Qin, all came. plus some clan personnel that Yulan is not familiar with, there are actually twenty people younger.

The rotten ship also has three-pound nails, and although the clan is withered, the near and far branches add up, and there are many people in it.

Everyone here is a high-ranking and noble person, such as the crown prince, it is said that he is a half-monarch, so he can not come at all, but not only did he come, but he also brought the princess with him, and the heart of wooing was obvious.

Although the title of the county lord of Qingjiang is not worth mentioning in front of this group of princes and princesses, she has a high seniority, and the position of the county lord was sealed by the emperor himself, and she is backed by Ye Yichen and Ye Fengqi, two powerful princes, and she is also very dignified in the clan.

Ye Yichen's marriage was also single-handedly arranged by her, and then she smiled and said: "Sixteenth brother, I am finally willing to bring the bride out to meet us!" Tell us to wait! I can't bear to get such a good bride? There was a hearty laugh. Ye Yichen and Yulan were two quarters of an hour late, which was actually quite rude. The county lord of Qingjiang said this, which naturally relieved the siege for the two of them.

Naturally, there are people who are interested in echoing on the side: "The bride was born with such a sign, if it were me, I would be reluctant to show it to others!" ”

"Even if I waited a little longer, it was not in vain to see the bride with such a sign!"

……

Originally, everyone was laughing for a while, but Ye Yichen and Yulan found another reason to prevaricate a little, and this matter passed like this. Although the little couple came late to recognize their relatives, it was always a little rude, but Ye Yichen is now in a high position and is so red that he is purple, who is willing to offend him here!

But there are people who are not Taoist. The atmosphere was a river crab, and a mean voice in the oblique thorns seemed to be talking to himself in a low voice, but it could be heard by everyone present: "In the end, it is a concubine who can't get on the stage, hanging so many princes here, and even recognizing relatives can be late, I haven't heard of anyone with such rules!" ”

Yulan didn't need to look up, as soon as she heard this mean voice, she knew that this must be the new Princess Zhao Xiao Yunqian. It's still so flamboyant.

Ye Minzhao, who was beside her, almost exploded. Before coming, he repeatedly told Xiao Yunqian that no matter how much personal enmity she had with Yulan before, she had to be polite today, and she must not cause trouble to King Zhao and his family, Xiao Yunqian promised to do well. Who knew that this fool completely offended people as soon as he opened his mouth.

If he angered Ye Yichen and made him turn to the crown prince's line, he King Zhao didn't know how much more he would have to pay if he wanted to win the great treasure. This idiot!

Xiao Yunqian also did a good job of mental construction before she came, not only her husband Ye Minyu, but also her mother-in-law Concubine Xiao, and repeatedly told her not to offend King Jin. Who knew that Lu Dao saw Yulan here, and saw that she was wearing a carved silk dress embroidered with peonies on a big red background, full of pearls, gorgeous clothes, and thousands of manners, comparing all the warblers and Yanyan in a room. I was already extremely uncomfortable in my heart.

I saw that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and her face was full of joy and joy, obviously living a very comfortable and happy life, thinking that she was just a concubine, why could she marry into the palace as a concubine, and won the love of the prince. And although she married Ye Minyu as she wished, King Zhao treated her extremely coldly, and her life was extremely difficult.

Before Yulan could speak, Yuxin had already spoken: "The elder and the young are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, for the venerable, for the relatives, the seventh sister is married to the sixteenth uncle, which is our elder, but I don't know which family's rules are the rules of Princess Zhao's exit against the elders and disrespect the elders?" "Yuxin is naturally unconditionally on Yulan's side.

Xiao Yunqian said this, and she also regretted it in her heart. But she is the most irritated person, she couldn't help but be angry when she heard Yuxin's words, and was about to sneer at each other, when he saw that Ye Minyu's face was bruised, and he couldn't wait to slap her twice on the spot. I couldn't help but roar: "You shut up for me!" The affairs of the elders are also something that you can put your beak at will? ”

Such a public scolding is tantamount to peeling off Xiao Yunqian's face in public, and Xiao Yunqian's very coquettish face instantly turned red. In front of Ye Minyu, he didn't dare to attack.

Ye Minyu had to step forward to clean up the mess for her. "Uncle Sixteen, your niece and daughter-in-law are not sensible, and they collided with Uncle Sixteen and Aunt Sixteen, for the sake of your nephew's face, don't worry about her!"

Ye Yichen looked at him, and snorted out of his nose: "Since she is not sensible, you should stay in the mansion to have a good lifeβ–‘ you can't bring it out to disappoint people!" ”

Ye Minyu agreed, and said respectfully: "Uncle Sixteen taught you a lesson!" "He really respects this sixteenth uncle.

Yulan laughed in his stomach when he heard this, the prince has been in the army for half his life, and he has always been on a rampage, and he knows best how to suppress people with power, and he really doesn't give half face to an ignorant person like Xiao Yunqian.

Xiao Yuqian was so angry that she almost fainted, so she glared at Ye Yichen with hateful eyes, Ye Yichen glanced at her and said lightly: "This king went to thank the emperor early this morning, and he also went out at the time of Chen!" "That means that this king is too lazy to get up early when he goes to see the emperor, and the emperor doesn't care about these things with this king, which onion are you!

Anyway, he didn't care about Xiao Yunqian's face, and took Yulan to greet everyone. The prince is here, so naturally he has to go to see him first: "The minister Ye Yichen and the concubine Yang Yulan see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

watched such a big drama before the recognition began, and the prince's stomach was already happy. He was not as stupid as Xiao Yunqian, and before the two of them could bow down, he had already personally supported Ye Yichen. "Uncle Sixteen, today is not a prince, and there is no prince here, let's only talk about family rites, not national rites, how can any uncle salute his nephew." Say nothing and don't let him bow down.

Yuxin also stretched out her hand to support Yulan, pursed her lips and smiled at her, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Aunt Sixteen is so beautiful today!" "The two were originally sisters, but suddenly they became aunts and nephews and daughters-in-law, and this generation is all messed up.

In front of the public, Yulan was not too casual with the crown princess, so he motioned to her with his eyes: "Don't be naughty!" ”

The recognition ceremony finally began, the maids and mothers-in-law prepared a futon and tea cup, and the county lord of Qingjiang was responsible for introducing the relatives of the elders and juniors to Yulan one by one. Only then did Yulan know how high Ye Yichen's status was in the clan. He is the only bloodline of Taizu, and his bloodline is even more noble than Ye Minyu and other princes, coupled with the expulsion of the Tuwu Jurchens, the pacification of the civil unrest in the northwest, and the immortal meritorious service, he seems to represent the most powerful political power in the imperial family except for the emperor. Don't say that the juniors are respectful to him, even the cousins don't dare to put on a little brother stand when they see him.

Ye Yichen belongs to the second generation of the royal family, the first generation of the royal family, including Taizu, has a total of three brothers and seven cousins, and now all of them have died due to normal or abnormal reasons, and now there is only one old princess left by her cousin, who is the old mother of Prince Jing.

The maid and eunuch put a futon in front of the old princess, and Ye Yichen and Yulan knelt down and kowtowed to the old man. The old princess is now in her seventies, and her body is still very tough, and when she saw Yulan, she liked it very much, rewarded her with a big purse, and took Yulan's hand and said, "What a neat child!" Turning his head to Ye Yichen, he said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law look like a sensible person, I know that your temper has never been a good one, but you are not allowed to bully her, if your nephew and daughter-in-law are wronged, I will teach you a lesson from my aunt!" ”

Princess Jing on the side smiled and said: "Mother, look at you nosy, Uncle Sixteen doesn't know how to hurt his new daughter-in-law, I need you to advise!" Everyone laughed for a while, Ye Yichen had a lot of respect for this old woman who was the only one left, and listened to the training on the side, and the old woman just laughed at everything.

The old princess is old, and she can't help but chatter, so she refuses to let go of Yulan's hand, and said: "Chen'er, this child is a good one, he knows that he takes care of the clan, and he is also smart and can do big things, but it's not good at all, it's more than twenty years old, and now there is only one child under his knees, and now it's finally good." With such a sensible nephew and daughter-in-law, you have to give him more children in the future and prolong the heirs, which is the first important thing! ”

said that Yulan's cheeks turned red.

After recognizing it this time, it took more than half an hour, Yulan sent out more than a dozen purses, which were specially prepared by Ma Fu, the chief housekeeper of the Jin Palace. Yulan was extremely painful.

According to the rules, Yulan wants to give red envelopes to juniors and receive red envelopes from elders, Ye Yichen has a high rank and a big shelf, and there are only a few purses that Yulan has recovered. This probably means that there are advantages and disadvantages. finally recognized all the people, Yulan reluctantly recognized all the royal relatives with his super memory trained in his previous life, and the recognition meeting was over.

After recognizing his relatives, it was time to eat, Ye Yichen ordered a table in the flower hall, everyone had a lively meal, Yulan and Ye Yichen personally sent the relatives to the door of the palace. Ye Yichen didn't go to the study for a day, he is now the commander of the Zongren Mansion and the governor of the Five Armies, and he has a lot of government and military affairs, so he can't do without him for a moment, so he said to Yulan: "You go back and rest, I'll go to the front study to take a look." ”

Yulan naturally didn't dare to delay his business: "The prince is going to be busy, I'll go back to the room by myself!" ”

Ye Yichen stretched out his hand and touched her face: "To this king, I want to call myself a 'concubine'!" It's okay in front of people, and everyone looks like a lady, how can they appear in their original form as soon as they arrive in a place where no one is! ”

Yulan's face flushed, he was indeed a young person and relaxed, seeing Ye Yichen's intimate tone, he was not really angry, so he squatted down with a smile and said: "The concubine knows the way, and I won't dare to do it in the future!" ”

Ye Yichen laughed, and then went forward with a few eunuchs satisfied.

Yulan was busy all day, entering the palace and recognizing relatives, and fighting wits and courage, and didn't sleep well during the afternoon nap, but she was so tired that her whole body was sore, and when she returned to the house, she said to Mother Qian and Xiaoyue Xiaoyu; "I'm going to go to the bed and take a break!" Mother Qian felt sorry for Yulan, served her with a wide coat, and was about to lie down, when a girl who came over with her came in and replied: "Pray that the concubine and the eldest young master have come to say goodbye to Madame!" ”

Yulan chuckled in his heart. This time and Ye Yichen newly married Yan'er, the relationship is very good, sweet and sweet, I almost forgot that men in this era are accustomed to three wives and four concubines, this product is really not worry-free, in addition to the former deceased wife, the family also justifiably raises the third and fourth children, I don't know how many women there are.

When Yulan thought of this, he felt like a thorn in his heart. Before getting married, Yulan did a lot of psychological construction for herself, since the times are like this, the men in this world are all like that bears, how can he be an exception, not to mention that the concubines and concubines such as the Qi family were also there before they married into the palace, can they really take out the style of the housemother and kill them.

But it was really coming, and she couldn't tell how uncomfortable she was. To put it bluntly, she used to think that she could tolerate men's three wives and four concubines because she didn't love those men, but now for Ye Yichen, how could she not invest in her true feelings.

There is nothing wrong with Yulan here, and Mother Qian and the four big girls who are married over there all look like they are facing a big enemy. Xiaoyue directly found a red carved silk gown and put it on for Yulan: "Madame must wear this, only you are qualified to wear red in this mansion now!" That means that I hope that Yulan will put up the main room and overwhelm this side concubine in momentum first.

Mother Qian called a clever little girl to come in and comb Yulan's hair.

Yulan saw that this atmosphere was not right, and couldn't help but sneer. "What are you panicking about, pray that the side concubine can still eat people! You can do whatever you want. "After all, she is the princess of the main family, no matter how much she has the face, she can't go beyond her, if she treats her too much as a dish, it will raise her status and fall behind. Yulan understands this truth.

While speaking, it was already cleaned up, and Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu helped Yulan into the main hall and sat down. Yulan then ordered: "Please pray for Concubine Fang to come in!" ”

The little maid lifted the curtain, and Qi pulled Ye Minwen in. She wore a full set of side concubine court clothes, which was quite gorgeous. That set of side concubine court clothes, looking at it, is even more complicated and gorgeous than Yulan's clothes. Although Yulan married Ye Yichen as a concubine, the imperial court's decree to canonize her as a princess has not yet been issued, and now she can only be called a lady, not a princess. Qi Shi is dressed like this, is it to remind Yulan that she is also on the jade, and she is not allowed to bully at will, or is she deliberately fighting in the ring?

Yulan had a lot of contact with her before, and she also knew a lot about Yulan and Ye Yichen's marriage, and the two of them had a face-saving relationship from the beginning, and now seeing her like this, Yulan already has a score in her heart.

Qi Shi looked up and saw Yulan sitting on the top, wearing a red carved silk jacket, with a Chaoyang five phoenix hanging bead hairpin on his head, graceful and graceful, no need to be pretentious, naturally there is a princess style.

Qi Shi dressed like this today because she deliberately wanted to make a face for Yulan, but who knew that she couldn't see any expression on her face. And before he could speak. Xiaoyue had already taken a mat and placed it in front of Qi. No matter how unhappy Qi Shi was in his heart, after all, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and he still knelt down and kowtowed to Yulan in a proper manner. Then he took the tea from the tea tray of the little maid on the side, and raised his hands above his head: "Madam, please drink tea." ”

Yulan stretched out her hand to take the teacup, took a sip with a smile and said, "Why do you want to talk like this, this is not the first time we have met, so let's help my sister up." Qi is several years older than her, but Yulan's sister is so smooth that even she admires herself.

Let Yulan and her be like sisters? Yulan's brain didn't get into the water again!

Xiaoyue helped Qi Shi up, and Xiaoyu handed over a pair of bracelets as green as a pool of blue water. Qi Shi pulled Ye Minwen on the side and said, "Young Master, come and see Madame!" ”

Five-year-old Ye Minwen was wearing a small red robe, looking very beautiful like a doll. Although Yulan doesn't like to be a stepmother, she still can't help but like this child. He and Yulan were already very familiar with each other before, so he knelt down on the mat, although Yulan was a stepmother, she was a grandmother, and according to the rules, she had to kowtow to Yulan and call her mother. Ye Minwen knelt down on the mat and kowtowed three times in a proper manner, but shouted, "Auntie! ”

All the people in the room froze. Isn't calling your aunt your aunt instead of your mother? What can Ye Minwen, a five-year-old child understand? Ye Yichen will not take care of this kind of trivial matter, Ye Minwen is raised in Qi's house, and the etiquette of visiting his stepmother should naturally be taught to him by Qi.

Did he not teach him, or did he not teach him?

Yulan remembered that he had heard the prince talk about it once before, and the Qi family was originally the personal maid of the Bai family, and the amount was really small enough. A sneer tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Qi Shi had been waiting for this moment, and immediately knelt down again: "Madame forgive me, the eldest young master is still young, and the concubine taught him for a long time before, telling him to call you mother, but he kept crying, saying that his mother had passed away. There is no way to concubine, the eldest young master is still young, Madame must not be angry with him! ”

The reason is high-sounding. Yulan was like a mirror in her heart, and Qi was just reminding her that she was just a step-room, and she didn't have the title of princess, and she couldn't afford to be called Ye Minwen's mother.

Yulan was slightly stunned in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all, but it was just a title, and sooner or later she couldn't get over, so why should she be angry about such a little thing: "Wen'er is still young, so naturally I won't worry about him." It's really hard for my sister to take care of him over the years and let him grow up healthy and healthy to such a big age. I will return to the prince tomorrow and ask the prince to reward you. One bite at a time, Qi's face changed. She is a legitimate mother-in-law, so she can naturally be called like this, and Qi is just a side concubine, although she has some face, she is still half a slave after all, she can only be called Ye Minwen Young Master, but she can't call him Wen'er so affectionately.

Without moving, he choked Qi Shi upside down for a while.
