Chapter 140: The Front
The palace people carried the sedan chair and left, and the mournful shouts of the eldest princess echoed all the way through the palace. One by one, they couldn't die well, shouting like a madman, and shouting that the people in the palace frequently looked at them.
Ye Wenyan didn't do anything, and even when the eldest princess cursed their family with such vicious words, she didn't do anything.
Because she knew that there was a previous relationship in this matter, and she didn't know the details of this previous relationship, and the original owner didn't know either, but it seemed that Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei knew.
But Mu obviously didn't want to say it, so he only followed the palace maid of Changxin Palace step by step. She gently tugged at Ye Qingmei's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what is the relationship between the eldest princess and our family?" What happened to her father? β
Ye Qingmei sighed, "Yan'er, you are still young, and there are some things that I haven't told you at home." Of course, I'm not a few years older than you, and the reason why I know a little bit is because I heard it inadvertently when I was a child. Because I heard it, I was curious, so I pestered my mother to talk about it a few times. Speaking of which, this eldest princess of our Northern Qi has not participated in a palace banquet for many years, but I don't know why she entered the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve this year. β
Ye Wenyan flipped through the memories of the original owner, indeed, in every memory of the royal palace banquet, there was never such an eldest princess. Even the original owner only knew that there were three princesses in the royal family, and the eldest princess was in her thirties this year, and the others didn't know anything.
The original owner is a very casual person, and he is too naΓ―ve, and in his short life, he has never thought about anything more. The eldest princess of the royal family was too much older than her, and she was already at the age of marriage before she was born, and the two did not have any intersection at all.
In fact, not only the original owner, but all the girls of this generation are more than ten years behind the eldest princess, so few people in this generation know about the past years. Even if they knew something, they all chose to be silent like Ye Qingmei.
After all, it was a princess who was not treated by the emperor, and even the royal family deliberately forgot about her, who would want to think about it.
Ye Qingmei continued: "Actually, I have only met the eldest princess once, and I saw it from afar when I entered the palace with my mother two years ago. But just that one time can make me remember it for a lifetime. Because she wears filial piety clothes, she still wears filial piety clothes when there is no funeral in the royal family, so when I see her today, I immediately know who she is. β
"In my impression, the relationship between the eldest princess and the first emperor is not good." Ye Wenyan pondered and said, "I only have a little impression, once I entered the palace with my grandfather, and my grandfather talked to the first emperor in the Immortal Palace, and I waited outside. When we arrived, the emperor had just been angry, and a little eunuch outside said that it was because the eldest princess came, and said that the eldest princess would make the emperor angry every time she came. β
Ye Qingmei nodded, "Yes, she hates the first emperor, because the first emperor sent her to Qiuhu Kingdom to make peace when she was sixteen years old." It is said that that the eldest princess made trouble in the palace that year, refused to go, and was finally tied to a sedan chair. After a few more years, the Qiuhu Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Qi, and the monarch, that is, the husband of the eldest princess, was killed in that battle, and the eldest princess was also taken back by the Northern Qi. When she was brought back, the eldest princess was pregnant, and she had a very good relationship with her husband, who was unwilling to marry at the beginning. Because of this incident, she was heartbroken and had a big fight with the first emperor, and the child also fell out. β
Ye Qingmei said sadly, although the eldest princess had just cursed their family viciously, she still felt sad for the princess.
Her story was listened to by Mu Shi, and the people walking in front slowed down a little, until they were caught up by their two daughters, Mu Shi sighed and took the initiative to tell Ye Wenyan: "The battle against Qiuhu was fought by your father. β
So that's it!
Ye Wenyan turned back to look in the direction where the eldest princess left, the sedan chair was no longer visible, and the cursed voice could no longer be heard.
But that kind of sadness is still there, as if the eldest princess left her emotions on this palace road, drawing the ground as a prison, and they can't get out no matter how they go.
She didn't feel very good in her heart, and Ye Qingmei's narration was like a long-term picture, forcibly spread out in front of her.
She saw a sixteen-year-old girl tied to a sedan chair and carried out of the palace gate, all the way out of her own land.
I also saw that the girl slowly fell in love with the monarch from the initial resistance.
At the end of the picture, there are soldiers fighting each other, and corpses are everywhere. It was the eldest princess who was brought back to her homeland by the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was the eldest princess who pointed to the nose of the first emperor and asked loudly: Why did you let me marry him and kill him again?
Mu couldn't hold back her words, and she told her two daughters: "The reason why the eldest princess calls herself this palace is not because she is the eldest princess of Northern Qi, and the princess of Northern Qi will not call herself this palace." And the reason why she used those two words is because she always remembers that she is the queen of Qiuhu and always remembers that her husband is the lord of Qiuhu.
The eldest princess always said that the ghost of the night family is not gone, and she always appears in front of her and blocks her. In the past, she also went to the first emperor several times to cry, saying that as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see that the Ye family was going to kill her. She hoped that the first emperor would dispose of the Ye family, but the first emperor had never heard her words.
How is it possible to dispose of the night house? It is normal for generals to defend their families and defend the country, and men to go into battle to kill the enemy. What's more, if it weren't for the fact that the Qiuhu Kingdom had to take the initiative to invade all year round, the Northern Qi would not have launched another war after taking a princess.
The Ye family is the home of the military generals and the reliance of the first emperor, so after so many years, even if the eldest princess hates the Ye family and your father, she has no way to take us.
When your father died, the eldest princess's mansion was held for three days and three nights, scattered red paper, and distributed candy to the children on the street. She is done as a happy event, and all the funerals of the night family are the joy of her Quan Qianluo.
Anyway, we don't care about her, just think she's a wretched person who has gone mad. β
Muhammad paused, reluctant to continue. Ji Mama added: "Actually, after returning from Qiuhu Kingdom, the eldest princess married someone again. It's a pity that it didn't last long, and in less than three years, the colt also died......"
Phoenix Yu Fei Hall is the banquet hall that the first emperor liked to use when he was there, because it is close to Yanhua Palace, and the terrain is also higher, and the banquet guests have to climb more than 40 steps to enter the main hall.
Sitting on the main seat of this hall, you can just follow the palace gate to see the Yanhua Palace on Yanhua Mountain.
The first emperor felt that only this was the closest place to the emperor, and he even had the idea of moving the internal affairs hall here. It's just that this place is a little biased, and it is also close to the harem, and it is inconvenient for courtiers to come and go, so I will give up.
But he still set the location of every palace banquet here, just to be able to look at the candles lit in Yanhua Palace a few more times.
Quan Qingcheng also thinks so, he also likes it here, and he feels that he is much happier than his former father.
Because of the relationship between Ye Wenyan, he and the emperor are also close, and he can be regarded as being listed in front of the emperor, at least these days he has seen the emperor's face, and the total number of times his father has seen the emperor in his life.
It made him very proud!
The people in the main hall were almost full, and Quan Qingcheng was behind the main seat, and the situation in the hall could be seen through the curtain.
He asked Wu if he wanted to be the last to appear?" I remember that during the palace banquet in the past, my father waited for everyone to arrive before appearing, so I had to learn from my father, right? β
Wu Wei shook his head, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid not, the last person to appear this year is the imperial uncle regent." β
"Why?" Quan Qingcheng was angry, "He is only the regent, not the emperor, I haven't heard that the regent has to appear to be higher than me as the emperor on such an occasion as the palace banquet." Where did you hear the rules? Is it written in the books? β
Wu Wei still shook his head, "There is no record, and I have never heard of the fact that the regent wants to overpower the emperor in form." But this is the meaning that the regent sent someone to pass it on, and the old slave relayed it to the emperor, and it depends on how the emperor decides. β
Quan Qingcheng was silent, since he sat on the throne, the most he did every day was to persuade himself to think calmly.
For example, in the current situation, you can't be impulsive, impulsiveness is easy to do bad things, and it is easy to be laughed at. Once he and the regent quarreled over this matter, it would be a loss of face for the royal family.
After a while, Quan Qingcheng took a deep breath, "That's it, let him go." Who made him the emperor's uncle, who made me young! When I can take charge of the government, I will no longer let him ride on my head. β
When Ye Wenyan and a few people arrived, almost all the guests with the banquet were already sitting in the Phoenix Yufei Palace.
She saw Jiang Wanting waving at her, so she walked over with her mother and eldest sister.
For palace banquets, men and women sit separately, men on the left, women on the right, each family has its own table, and the palace people will lead them to sit in their own seats. Of course, if there are acquaintances who are willing to get together, the palace people will not care.
At this time, Ye Chulian has been sitting with Jiang Wanting and Mrs. Jiang, but she is timid, shrinking her back and lowering her head, and she doesn't dare to take a second look at this magnificent hall.
She wondered why Ye Chulian didn't sit with the old lady, the night family should have its own seat.
At this time, I saw Mrs. Jiang pointing in one direction, and several people looked at it, and at a glance, they saw Mrs. Night and a few richly dressed old ladies sitting at a table, talking and chatting while eating refreshments.
Mrs. Jiang said: "Your old lady is really good enough, and there was a disturbance outside, and it finally stopped." As a result, as soon as he entered the banquet hall and saw people he knew well, he immediately called his friends and went to go. No, the banquet of your night house is so crowded that even this fifth lady has nowhere to sit. β
Jiang Wanting said: "Will she want to take those old ladies all the time to sit on the whole scene?" Wen Yan said that it was okay for them to sit on our side, but taking the initiative to come and sit was one meaning, and being squeezed by this group of old ladies was another meaning. Wen Yan, why don't we go and grab the seat back! Your old lady is shameless, and other old ladies may still have face. β
After saying this, a round-faced girl squeezed over to the side, and raised her hand: "Take me one!" β
