After the next morning, Yuan Mohua went to Concubine De's palace and truthfully told him about marrying Lu Yan.

When Concubine De heard this, she really frowned, and she didn't tease the bird anymore, and said with surprise on her face: "Mo Hua! You pick and choose, and you fall in love with a maidservant? ”

Yuan Mohua didn't care, and after sitting down, he said unhurriedly: "Sister, don't do useless work." ”

"Useless work? What do you mean by that? Concubine De asked.

Yuan Mohua took the slender silver spoon from her hand, reached into the birdcage to tease the bird, and said, "Sister, just maintain the status quo, Your Majesty, there will be no more queens." ”

When Concubine De heard this, her heart sank, and she asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Yuan Mohua said: "In today's harem, my sister is already respected, but she can only stay here and can't go further." If Your Majesty has the heart to let my sister go further, now that I am serving in Beijing, I will not be a civil official, but a military attaché. ”

Concubine De's heart sank again and again when she heard this, and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

Yuan Mohua withdrew his hand and said slowly: "Sister, Your Majesty is not willing to give us the Yuan family real power at all, and as long as the harem concubines have children under their knees, Your Majesty will not give any real power anymore." You must know that people's hearts are insufficient, and they want to go further if they go further. Once the concubine who has a son under her knees enters the middle palace, she is bound to plan for her own prince, so it is possible to deal with the East Palace. Therefore, in order to avoid the disaster of seizing the crown, His Majesty decided not to establish a queen again. My sister has King Hao under her knees, and there is no such possibility. I hope my sister can listen to it and stop doing useless work. If you do too much, it will only make Your Majesty suspicious and wary, but you won't even be able to keep the status quo. ”

Concubine De suddenly realized, her heart was as cold as water, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Yuan Mohua persuaded: "Sister, keep the status quo and do it yourself." As for who I marry, it doesn't matter. ”

Concubine De was unwilling and didn't want to believe it, and asked again: "Then Your Majesty...... Is it possible to appoint a childless concubine as a successor? ”

Yuan Mohua shook his head with a smile: "It's even more impossible, after having no children, he set up Bai Li." Sister will take control of the overall situation of the harem with the respect of Concubine De, although you can't go to the next level, but no one can cross you, this is the best and most stable situation. ”

Concubine De was silent for a long time, then picked up the silk silk and wiped the tears that seemed to be absent from the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "That's it, that's it." Everything you said is reasonable, it turned out that my sister was delusional. Okay, let's talk about your marriage, why did you suddenly fall in love with the maid of the Qiao family? ”

Yuan Mohua listened, his eyes became far-reaching, and he said after a while: "Perhaps, this is the edge of the eye." ”

Concubine De looked at him, but saw that he was quite serious, so she had to say, "Okay, let it be." ”

……

Concubine De was relieved, and ordered someone to send some rewards to Yao Duran and Lu Yan, and Yao Duran was completely relieved. And Yuan Mohua said that he would do the happy event before the year, so he quickly sent a big dowry and set a wedding date.

On December 20, it is advisable to get married.

This sudden and resolute marriage spread all at once. For a while, everyone in Beijing talked about this matter after dinner. One is the younger brother of Concubine De, Lord Yuan, who is young and promising, and has a peerless flute sound. One is an inconspicuous maid of the Qiao family, such a disparity in identity is already very good for discussion.

The day of great joy is approaching day by day. In Hehuan Alley, the atmosphere at home is getting weirder and weirder, the master and servant, a happy event is coming, but they refrain from showing joy, just like ordinary. One is full of sorrow, but also refrains from showing sadness, and forces a smile. There is also a blessing, and he refuses to go to Qiao Fengzhi even in the courtyard. The three of them lived like this together.

And Qiao Fengzhi, in the lives of several of them, in their sight, in this courtyard full of flowers, has disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving them with a puzzle that no one can solve.

On this day, the three of them went to the street to buy all the items needed for the marriage of the green diaphragm. The three of them picked and chose in various stores, and gave Lu Lang a dress for the wedding day, which was extremely joyful and gorgeous. In addition, there are also some exquisite jewelry, gold hairpins, jade bracelet earrings, and so on.

In the end, the three returned in full swing. But when he arrived at the front of the house, he saw a man waiting there.

When he got closer, Fuquan recognized it: "Yushu? What are you doing here? ”

Yushu turned around, exchanged a few polite words with Fuquan, and saluted Yao Duran. After entering the courtyard, Fuquan pulled him again and asked, "Yushu, you suddenly came today, are you ...... Is our son-in-law looking for a wife? ”

Yushu nodded, then turned to Yao Duran and said, "Madam, the villain came today on the orders of Lord Qiao. After a pause, he took out a snow-white letter from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "Madam, this is ...... Master Qiao ordered the villain to send it to you. ”

Yao Duran looked at the letter, and suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, which made her hesitate and not have the courage to reach out.

"What is this?" Fuquan asked and answered, but he didn't know much and only recognized the word "Hushu".

When he boarded, Fu Quan's face froze: "Hugh...... Leave the book?! ”

When Yao Duran heard this, there was a dizziness in his brain at first, and then his whole body was cold inside and out, and his heart seemed to be pierced, the only remaining hope, his confidence in life, the beauty of the past, his vision for the future, all his thoughts and thoughts were lost along the hole.

"What?! Leave the book? Fuquan, are you mistaken? What do you know if you can't read? I'll see! The green slasher snatched the letter from Fuquan's hand, but he only glanced at it, and his face froze.

"Madam, this ......" Lu Yan's eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't say anything.

Yao Dui settled down, and then slowly took the book of resignation and lowered his eyes to read it. In black and white, it is clearly written, and it is indeed a letter of resignation. His calligraphy has been refined again, even if it is written on the book of resignation, it is not half sloppy, but the pen and ink are horizontal, rigid and soft, gorgeous and natural.

All the causes of husband and wife, the three lives of the previous life are married, and the husband and wife of this life are matched. However, from hiring Yao's wife, he has been out of the door for a long time, and he has no children for a long time, which is in line with the seven rules, and he is willing to return to this sect. After the wife is separated, he will comb his hair again, sweep his eyebrows, and select the lord of high-ranking officials. Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other. One parting and two wide, each life rejoices.

Qiao Fengzhi was handwritten on December 17, the 23rd year of Yongxi.

Every word is heart-wrenching.

Yao Duran saw that her hands were trembling, and her heart was trembling.

At this time, Yushu took out a thick silver ticket with the largest amount from his arms, and said: "Madam, Master Qiao also said that you are about to marry a maid, and I am afraid that your dowry gift will be thin and despised by people, so I asked the villain to send this money." ”

Yao Duran looked up from the letter of resignation, looked at the thick silver ticket in his hand in a daze, and in an instant, everything was understood.

He sent a letter of resignation, and by the way, he sent a large sum of money in the name of a dowry, which was actually using the money to give her a final explanation and placement.

Yushu also babbled a lot.

"Madam, Master Qiao said, when this yard was bought, it was in your name, and it is still yours now, so you can live with peace of mind."

"Madam, Lord Qiao also said, please take the two pieces of paper and bring them back by the villain, and Lord Qiao will do the damage."

On a sunny spring day, in a beautiful courtyard, she stood there like this, like a stunned fool, accepting pots and pots of frost and snow poured on her head.

"Okay." Yao Duran was dizzy and had no sense of reality, slowly walked into the room, and took out the two pieces of paper from the cabinet of the dressing table.

I like to tie the red rope today, and the beads are a perfect match. Bu Ta Nian is white-headed forever, Gui Fu Lanxin.

June 16, 23rd year of Yongxi. Qiao Fengzhi Yao Dusk.

She looked at them again and again, and finally left the room with them, came to Yushu and said, "Does he want to destroy these two marriage papers?" ”

Yushu hesitated, but finally nodded.

The next moment, I only heard the sound of cracking paper, "hiss, hiss", a sound, slow but firm.

Yao Duran handed over the residue of the two pieces of paper to Yushu, and said, "Such a trivial matter of damage, you don't have to bother Lord Shangshu to do it, you can take it back and pay the errand." ”

"By the way, there is one more thing, please bring it to Master Shangshu as well." Yao Duran turned around and went back to the room, took out the set of white jade jewelry in the makeup, handed it to Yushu with the brocade box, and said, "Give it to him." Tell him that there are differences in the road, and the two hearts are different, and they should return to their original ways. May all his desires be granted, and his path will be smooth, and he will be filled with joy and long peace. ”

……

When Yushu left, Fuquan and Lu Yan both looked at her with red eyes, Yao Duran came back to his senses, shook his head at them, and then took Lu Yan's hand and said, "Lu Yan, wear that wedding dress to me to see if it fits." ”

Lu Yan slowly shed tears: "Madam! If you feel bad, cry out! Don't hold it back like that! ”

Yao Duran said: "Fool, what are you crying about? I'm fine, fate is impermanent, people's hearts are fickle, we always have to get used to it. I hope that my abandonment will not bring you the slightest bad luck, and you must marry happily and be happy in the future. ”

Three days later, the day of joy came. Early in the morning, Fuquan lit a string of artillery battles, which resounded through Hehuan Lane. In the room, Yao Duran was dressing up the green diaphragm herself, lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows, the crimson rouge was evenly spread in the palm of her hand, and the vermilion lip grease was also carefully applied to the lips little by little. When everything was ready, a bright and moving bride appeared in the mirror.

Yao Duran smiled: "Lu Yan is really good-looking when she dresses up. ”

Lu Yan took her hand and lightly opened her lips: "Madam, the slave will come back to see you often!" ”

Yao Duran said: "What's so good, live your life well, you can be happy better than anything else." ”

Lu Yan shed tears: "Madam, I'm sorry, Lu Yan is sorry for you!" I got married at this time, leaving Mrs. You alone, a slave...... The slave can't stand you! ”

"Oops! What does the bride cry about? Don't be afraid of bad luck! Yao Duran hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes gently, and said angrily: "You, the makeup is spent again, I still have to make up for it, if you delay like this, you will miss the auspicious time!" ”

But she didn't do it, but threw herself into her arms and hugged her tightly, crying loudly.

Yao Duran was helpless, but also hugged her, stroked her back and comforted her repeatedly.
