Lin'an Inner City, Painted Gold Street.

This is the most prosperous street in the inner city, different from the commercial nature of Suncheon Street, it is equivalent to a landscape, because it is the only street leading from the inner city to the outer city, and it is also the road that people from the outer city must take after entering the inner city.

Because of its importance, this street is the fastest to be cleared. Not only has the rubble been cleared, but even the stone slabs that were arched when the earth dragon turned over have been replaced.

At this moment, the carriage of the Dust King's Mansion was on the Zhujin Street, and the speed was very fast, heading straight for the direction of the city gate.

Ye Chulian sat in the carriage, her eyebrows lowered, and she was silent. He didn't ask why the carriage was running so fast, nor why His Royal Highness who invited her to tea deliberately took away her maid, let alone where she was going now. She just clutched a handkerchief in both hands, clutching it so tightly that her joints were white, to relieve her tension.

Quan Qinghua sat across from her, and didn't speak, just stared at her. It wasn't until the carriage left the inner city that Ye Chulian heard the sound of the officers and soldiers guarding the city closing the city gate, and realized that the hour was really not early.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the attendant Tianxing came from outside the carriage: "Master, it's here." ”

Quan Qing said "En", and he was not in a hurry to go out, but only asked Ye Chulian: "If you are afraid, after this king gets off the car, let this carriage send you back again." Although the inner city has been closed, you can still enter and exit with the king's jade plate. ”

Ye Chulian shook his head without thinking about it, and said very resolutely: "I'm not afraid!" ”

"Not afraid?" He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you know why this king called you out?" ”

"Eat tea." She replied simply, "His Royal Highness said to invite me to tea." ”

"What if not?"

"No, no, eating tea is eating tea." As she spoke, she was the first to get up, lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out.

Tianxing was startled, thinking that it would be his master who came out first! As a result, it was Miss Yesi who took the lead. He hurriedly set up the small stool for stepping on his feet, and then took a handle to help Ye Chulian get out of the car, and then saw Ye Chulian take a look at the street, pointed to the teahouse in front of him and asked, "Is this here?" ”

Tianxing glanced at Quan Qinghua, who followed him out of the car, and saw his master nodding, so he said, "It's here, the second-floor private room." ”

Ye Chulian carried her skirt and went inside, and the young men in the teahouse were stunned.

Finally, the two of them sat down in the private room, the man served tea, and sent in several candlesticks, only then did he hear Ye Chulian say again: "I know why the fourth highness called me out, my second brother caused trouble, and the fourth sister settled the matter for him, but Your Highness, you are angry." So nominally inviting me out for tea, but in fact, it is to warn me that the fourth sister is very angry, and if the fourth sister can't give you an explanation, I may not be able to go back. It's okay, since I was born in the night family, I can't escape these things, I have long been mentally prepared for this. His Royal Highness doesn't need to have much psychological burden, I am a hostage, and it doesn't matter if I live or die. ”

She drank the tea in her hand, and looked at death as if she were at home.

Quan Qinghua looked at her like this, and thought of when he learned that he was going to be sent to the country of Guiyue. At first, he was not happy, and even tried his best to resist. But then he gave up, and when someone mentioned the matter of returning to the moon to him, he was indifferent, and he could even talk to people about it, as if the country of returning to the moon was his home. Even on the day he left, he was still smiling and telling people that if he had the opportunity, he would go to Guiyue to go around, and it was also a very beautiful land.

But he really had no choice at that time, and he was no longer powerless to resist. But Ye Chulian is not, he is not so cruel that he can directly kidnap people, but as long as Ye Chulian shakes his head in the General's Mansion, he will not bring people out.

But Ye Chulian was right, the reason why he took her out of the inner city was indeed because he was angry with Ye Wenyan. It's just that he didn't expect that one day he would do this kind of thing, transferring his hatred for one person to another.

In the inner city of Lin'an, Wen Yan went out from home at night with Shen'er, and the driver was a plan.

When she arrived, she found that the door of the Renwang Mansion was wide open, and the little girl Pingyang, whom she had seen twice before, was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and when she saw that the carriage of the Ye family was coming, she immediately stepped forward, respectfully waited for Ye Wenyan to get off the car, and then saluted respectfully, and then asked people to the mansion without asking. So much so that Shen'er had one more mouth: "Why does this seem to be waiting for us?" ”

Pingyang then said: "It is indeed my Royal Highness who sent a servant to greet him outside the door." His Royal Highness said that the fourth miss will definitely arrive, so no matter how late it is, the fourth miss must leave the door, and the minions have to wait outside. Fourth Miss, let's go this way, Your Highness is in the study. ”

Ye Wenyan followed Pingyang all the way to the inner courtyard, and as he walked, he heard a woman's crying, as if she was begging for something.

Shen'er asked, "Is there a fight in the house?" Is it the concubines of the Third Highness who are fighting? ”

Pingyang shook his head, "It's not a fight, it's an expulsion." His Royal Highness ordered that all the concubines in the inner courtyard should be sent out of the house, and they should be given silver taels, and they should be sent out of the inner city to be safe. From now on, as long as they are close to the Nioh's Mansion, they can do whatever they want. ”

Shen'er was puzzled, "Why is this?" ”

Pingyang glanced at Ye Wenyan, and saw that Ye Wenyan didn't mean to speak, so he just said to Shen'er: "Because His Royal Highness doesn't like them, and he doesn't want them to stay in the mansion to be an eyesore, and he doesn't want them to annoy the people he cares about." ”

"Someone you care about? Isn't the Third Highness going to marry a concubine? So in the purging backyard? ”

As he spoke, the noisy man was already very close, almost ten paces away, and could be seen faintly by the lantern. As for what is said when I cry, I heard it more clearly.

Most of the concubines still only care about crying, at most, they don't want to leave, and beg His Highness to be kind enough to keep them. But only one person was the most noisy and talked the most. The woman was held by the arms of the palace guards, and was desperately shouting, "I'm not leaving!" Why do we go? We are the serious concubines of the Renwang Mansion, even if we can't reach the side concubines, but at least we are still women, we can pass on the lineage to the three highnesses, we can follow the three highnesses out openly, and walk on the street together. Why did we make way for the second young master that night? Isn't his position in the Nioh Mansion enough? Although he didn't live in it, who in the house from top to bottom didn't listen to him? Even the prince's secret guards are at his disposal, he can come and go as he wants in this mansion, and he will not be fortified in any corner, isn't this enough? Why are you driving us away now? He can't tolerate us like this? ”

Shen'er stroked her forehead, and she thought about it again.

Scolding and scolding people, the little concubine looked up at Ye Wenyan, lost her mind for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Isn't it because of the second young master of the night?" Is it because of you? Also, you are so good-looking, you are indeed qualified to monopolize this palace. She laughed as she spoke, laughing like a madman, "But you have to be careful, this palace is not the prince's final say, but the second young master of the Yipin General's Mansion has the final say." You can't enter the prince's study, but the second young master of the first-class general's mansion can. If you want to gain a firm foothold here, the first thing you have to learn is to endure, not to endure any other woman, but to endure a man. Because in our prince's heart, there is only the second young master, he hates to give him the entire palace, and he hates to give him his heart. Look at us, we're living examples! Each of us has been pampered by the prince, and we are all the favorite concubines of the prince. But we have been in the house for so many years, and not a day has not gone by that that we have not lived in the shadow of Him. ”

Xu was driven by her, and the women behind her talked about the so-called suffering over the years, not leaving the second young master of the night, nor persuading Ye Wenyan to stay away from the Renwang Mansion, otherwise sooner or later one day they would be like them.

Pingyang couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted at the guards: "Why don't you take people away quickly, what are you making a fuss here?" Disturbed Miss Yesi, none of us can afford to take responsibility! ”

The concubines understood, "You are not a newcomer in the house, you are the first beauty in Lin'an, the fourth lady of the night family!" You are the sister of the second young master of the night! The one who scolded the most jumped to his feet and rushed forward vigorously, but the person was escorted to death by the guards, and he couldn't leave the place even a step. She was so angry that she cried, "I finally entered the palace, and I ended up like this before a few years of wealth and prosperity, none of your Ye family members are good things!" ”

Shen'er was angry when she heard this, and was about to open her mouth to go back, but was stopped by Ye Wenyan. She looked at the woman with heavy makeup and a thin shirt and shook her head, "A woman who can really stand in a place like the palace should never be like you, and you don't have to sprinkle all your anger on my second brother, even if there is no second brother in my second brother, it is impossible for a person like you to have any success in the palace, and it is even impossible to stay in the palace forever." Although I don't have much friendship with His Royal Highness, his vision is not so bad. If you really want to survive in such a place for a long time, you should definitely not study how to wear thinner clothes, nor how to make your face more colorful. If you don't even understand this truth, even if there is no second brother, the concubine will enter the door in the future, and she will also drive you out of the house. ”

"Impossible!" The woman shouted, "The prince can have many favors, even if the concubine enters the door, she can't control the man taking the concubine." ”

Ye Wenyan nodded, "I can't control a man's concubine, but I have the power to check the quality of a concubine." After all, no princess can afford to lose such a face and face a woman like you in the back house all day long. ”

After speaking, he looked at the people behind him, all of them were no exception, wearing heavy makeup and being charming. She really can't understand the preferences of the three highnesses, how can this whole woman come to the mansion, all of them are this kind of virtue?
