Until after the feast, there was no follow-up to this matter.

Ling Yuanhang held his breath because he didn't know what Yaru's situation was, whether he was being bullied. So after leaving the palace, he said to his father, and went straight to the Hou Mansion, and now when he saw that Yaru was like no one, he was relieved.

Guan Houye said: "This little daughter of Princess Yiyang almost grew up next to Concubine Wu, and she is rude and willful. It's no surprise that she could do such a thing. I just don't know how Wu Guifei will react. ”

Ling Yuanhang said: My father said that although Wu Guifei has always complained about her grandfather and father's affairs, she is not a completely unreasonable person.

Yaru smiled at Ling Yuanhang: "General Ling, if Concubine Wu really wants to make trouble with the emperor." The emperor is hindered by the feelings of the previous emperor, and there may be other changes in this matter. How will you deal with the emperor then?"

Hou Ye also nodded: "It's not impossible. You have to be mentally prepared for the voyage. After all, Aru beat her precious granddaughter. ”

Ling Yuanhang said: "I won't let Sister Aru suffer. ”

As he was talking, Laifu came to pass the word, saying that the father-in-law in the palace had arrived. Several people hurriedly came out, and saw Li Cheng, the big eunuch beside the emperor, standing outside.

Li Cheng and Marquis Guan are still very familiar, he smiled and said: "It just so happens that the prince is also here, so I will save it, and the emperor ordered the marquis to bring the third lady into the palace for an audience." Go too, Lord Shizi. ”

Then he saw that there were no outsiders next to him, and sighed and said to Yaru: "Third Miss, you really have the courage to make our family admire." But you are hitting the top of the concubine's heart, the old concubine is now in the emperor's place, and the emperor also has a headache, you have to be careful when you reply. ”

Yaru gratefully blessed him and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for mentioning it." ”

Ling Yuanhang asked people to send a letter to the county king's mansion again. And they went to the palace together.

In the emperor's study, the concubine was sitting and drinking tea. A few people went in and bowed to the emperor first, and after the emperor got up, they saluted the concubine again.

In the middle of this, Yaru kept her head and lowered her eyebrows. Look at the respectful woman in front of her, her face is like a closed moon and a shy flower, and her skin is like congealed fat. The eyebrows are like distant mountains. Joan's nose is small and straight, and her red lips are pursed. The emperor couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in his heart: Guan Yun and this little daughter are rare, they didn't flinch at all in front of the eye for the first time, and they were respectful and calm, comparable to everyone's daughters. What's more, the appearance is excellent, which is not comparable to ordinary women. It's no wonder that Yuanhang liked it, and even crossed the Hou Mansion and asked for marriage directly.

Concubine Wu was also looking at Yaru carefully, and there was a hint of surprise in her heart, such a stunning and calm woman, ten Yuehua was not her opponent. In the future, Hua'er really wants to serve her as a husband, how can there be Hua'er's future.

The emperor looked at Concubine Wu, saw that she was a little stunned, and thought about it, this matter is not easy to do, and the two families are very strong. But after all, the old concubine Wu was the favorite concubine of the first emperor, and she had to give face. So he cleared his throat and said, "Aiqing, your little daughter is so cute and tight." ”

Guan Houye replied respectfully: "The emperor has won the award, the little girl has seen the face of heaven for the first time, I am afraid that there is rudeness, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." But in my heart I said, "I see how you speak."

The emperor said again: "Miss Guan San, it's good to find you a sister." ”

Yaru replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the courtier's family already has two sisters, and both sisters love the courtiers very much, and they dare not climb other women. "Your Majesty, don't tease, we have good sisters in our own house, why bother with you. This ancient criminal system of wives and concubines serving the same husband is the most test of human nature, I don't want it.

When the emperor saw that Yaru deliberately misinterpreted his words, he was embarrassed to explain it. Hehe: "Aiqing, it seems that your daughters are very affectionate."

Guan Houye replied respectfully: "Yes, the emperor, whether it is a concubine, they all love and educate the ministers in their hearts, so the relationship between the children of the minister's family is very good." ”

The emperor couldn't take it anymore: "Hehe, Aiqing's tutor is very good, very good." ”

Ling Yuanhang didn't squeak either, just waiting for the emperor to say the following. The emperor is bitter in his heart, how to say this. Could it be that he said to Ling Yuanhang: "The status of this little wife you ordered is low, let the princess's daughter be your equal wife, no, this Guan Hou Ye will definitely not be willing." said to Guan Houye, let Yuan's niece be a companion for your daughter, and the two of them followed the example of Empress E's daughter Ying to serve a husband together, and achieved a lie. This Guan Houye will definitely not be willing. Hey, what kind of errand is this? It's not good to say that. The emperor has always wanted to say whatever he wants to say in the Jinluan Palace, but today in the face of the family affairs of the courtiers, the emperor of the Ninety-Five is also embarrassed.

Concubine Wu was also a little unable to sit still. She looked at her nephew and said directly: "Yuanhang, you see that your cousin Hua'er has always been in love with you, and there has never been a woman by your side." Look at how it is to marry Hua'er to you. ”

Ling Yuanhang respectfully said to the concubine: "Aunt and grandmother, Yuanhang has already set Miss Guan San as his wife, how can he stop his wife and marry again." ”

"That's nothing, with your status as the son of the county prince's mansion, it's okay to marry a flat wife. I see that Miss Guan San is also a virtuous girl, so how about letting her be a sister to Hua'er?" said the concubine.

Guan Yaru heard that Concubine Wu had a high hat of 'virtuous wisdom' in her mouth, and laughed secretly in her heart, let you spit lotus flowers in your mouth, I will not agree. If Ling Yuanhang dares to say yes, I dare to withdraw from the marriage immediately.

Guan Yaru listened to Ling Yuanhang say politely: "Aunt and grandmother, our county palace has never had such a rule as marrying a wife. Yuanhang did not dare to set a precedent that his ancestors did not do. ”

The emperor said: "Far away, which man is not hugged left and right." Isn't it also elegant to add fragrance to a woman's red sleeves? ”

Ling Yuanhang smiled: "Your Majesty, are you sure that Miss Yan is a person with red sleeves and fragrance, a person who questions other people's marriages in front of everyone, and ministers dare not marry." ”

Guan Houye had already scolded Miss Yan in his heart for being shameless, and this time he couldn't help it. He said: Your Majesty, today's incident, the minister also heard about it, that Miss Yan and the little girl have torn their faces, if the two are forcibly put together, or serve a husband together, the family will inevitably quarrel constantly. The status of the little girl, the minister did not dare to let the little girl marry into such a family. Please also ask the emperor to have mercy on the little girl. ”

Ling Yuanhang also said: "Your Majesty, since the minister has made a marriage contract, it must not be changed, husband and wife are one, and in the future, there will be women in the family who will fight, and the wife will not have a good life, and the husband will not be at ease." ”

The emperor looked at Ling Yuanhang, this kid had the same temperament as his father, and it seemed that he was also the master who was hanged on a tree. looked at the third lady of the Guan family, who seemed to have nothing to do with herself, and had not spoken all the time, and looked at the concubine in embarrassment: "Concubine, you see, there are many good men in the capital Let's choose another family for Hua'er." ”

Concubine Wu sighed: "Since Yuanhang doesn't agree, then so be it." "If the cow doesn't drink water, it is not a way to force its head. Forget it.

Concubine Wu has always been favored in front of the first emperor, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her judgment of the situation. She didn't have much hope for coming today, and she also wanted to try. If Ling Yuanhang agrees, then everyone will be happy, and if Ling Yuanhang does not agree, it will be good for Hua'er to die and marry into the county king's mansion.

Concubine Wu said to Yaru again: "The third girl's upbringing is very good, since Yuanhang has identified you, my wife will not continue to be this wicked person." He took a jade bracelet from his hand and handed it to Yaru: "Speaking of which, I am Yuanhang's aunt and grandmother, and we will be relatives soon, so let's take it as a meeting gift." ”

Yaru thanked him in a regular manner, and went to bid farewell to the emperor. The emperor said: "Miss Guan San behaves appropriately, is humble and courteous, Jingshu Roujia, and gives you two hundred taels of silver, a pair of jade Ruyi, and a box of Dongzhu." Go back and prepare your dowry. ”

Aru thanked the Lord Long. And they departed.

The emperor didn't do this, and he felt that he should compensate Concubine Wu for something. After all, Concubine Wu was the concubine favored by the first emperor, and Concubine Wu was a person when the first emperor was there. is still a very well-behaved person, never relying on the emperor's favor to run rampant in the palace, and her relationship with the queen mother is also very good. And what is even more valuable is that when the first emperor was still there, Concubine Wu asked the first emperor to let her only son King Jin become a vassal, saving herself a lot of trouble. Therefore, the emperor has always respected Concubine Wu, and is willing to give Concubine Wu face.

The emperor thought about it, and made a holy decree, and Yan Yuehua, the daughter of Princess Feng Yiyang, was the lord of Anping, and gave a lot of rewards.

After Concubine Wu returned to Ci'an Palace, she asked Mama Xu to bring a message to Princess Yiyang: This matter is not successful, don't have any hope. Tell Princess Yiyang to choose a son-in-law for Yan Yuehua as soon as possible. Also, the emperor didn't let Ling Yuanhang agree, and others had no choice, so let's get married quickly.

After receiving the news, Yan Yuehua cried again. Princess Yiyang confined her daughter at home and prevented her from going out again. I started to show my daughter people. As for whether Yan Yuehua is dead in her heart, only she knows.

However, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the dispute between the newly promoted county lord of Anping and the third lady of the Guan family during the Lantern Festival quickly spread throughout the capital in less than three days.

It's really hard to say. has a good family background, people don't look down on her, don't say she looks down on her with a low family background, even Princess Yiyang can't agree. Besides, Yan Yuehua always compares others with Ling Yuanhang, Ling Yuanhang's appearance itself is one of the best among the nobles in the capital, coupled with the noble identity of the prince of the county prince's mansion, he made great achievements on the battlefield at a young age, and now he is a fourth-grade general, and the temperament that has been tempered by life and death is not comparable to those pampered nobles. Therefore, in the heart of the county lord of Anping, he couldn't let go of that handsome and excellent man. This family affair has been dragged on.
