Chapter 162: Asking for Mercy
Empress Dowager Xu said angrily: "Ye's! How can the daughter of the Xu family allow you to slander you like this. You have benefited from others, but you have betrayed your righteousness, how can the royal family have such a shameless daughter-in-law as you! ”
Shameless? Ye Xiaoyan felt that the old woman couldn't find the right word, so she grabbed one at random.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "What kind of kindness does she have to me? The cup didn't smash her, she rushed up by herself, and was deliberately smashed without covering up, she just wanted to blackmail us! ”
Ye Xiaoyan was angry. She only found out today that this shameless woman could still touch porcelain like this.
"You, you!" Empress Dowager Xu gritted her teeth and said to the emperor: "Okay, well, my Xu family has no successor, let others bully, and you don't care about me as an old woman." This birthday is really ridiculous, what about filial piety, it turns out that it is all for outsiders to see! ”
"Ye Xiaoyan!" The emperor sank like water, and said: "In front of me, you dare to be so presumptuous, don't think that if you are pregnant with royal flesh and blood, I will not treat you well!" ”
Xu Zishu, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word, had a look on his face. Ye Xiaoyan is actually pregnant? She didn't expect it to be so fast.
At this time, the queen also spoke: "Ye Xiaoyan has no respect for her elders, and she is extremely rude against her elders. The mourning family will punish you to go to the temple for meditation, when you understand the rules and when you come out. ”
"Ask the queen for mercy!" Nangong You hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Yan'er is pregnant, so it is really not suitable to go to the temple." ”
The emperor and the queen had a seizure at this time, but they were actually forced by what the Empress Dowager Xu said just now, "Unfilial piety is all done for outsiders to see." None of them dared to take this big hat. That's why the emperor deliberately said that Ye Xiaoyan was pregnant. The queen also took advantage of the trend and showed her attitude. She wished that Ye Xiaoyan would resist it, and not let Xu Zishu marry into the Xuanwang Mansion, wouldn't that add help to Nangong You. The Empress didn't want to see that.
Empress Dowager Xu has lived for most of her life, and she can naturally see that the emperor and queen are just pretending, so she said: "Since it is not suitable to go to the temple, then go to the palace of the mourning family, and the mourning family will teach her the rules." ”
When Nangong You heard this, his face was even more bad, and he hurriedly said: "Ask the emperor's grandmother for mercy!" ”
Empress Dowager Xu's face was gloomy and she said, "Kai'en? Could it be that the mourning family will kill her? If she loses her life, will the mourning family pay you with her life? ”
"Grandchildren don't dare."
The Queen Mother said this, Nangong You knew that she couldn't stop it. He turned to kneel down to the emperor and pleaded: "Please be gracious to my father!" ”
The emperor has been paying attention to Ye Xiaoyan's expression, and found that she was a little excited when she said that Xu Zishu was deliberately slandering them, and later Nangong You helped her intercede, but her expression became flat. The emperor was also a little hesitant, whether to stop him and not let the Queen Mother take Ye Xiaoyan away. If he takes it away, Xu Zishu is afraid that he will really marry into the Xuanwang Mansion. The emperor knew Nangong You's love for Ye Xiaoyan, but this Ye Xiaoyan was too strong, and You'er obeyed her. Let Xu Zishu marry into the Xuanwang Mansion, let her know that You'er is not the only woman, I hope she can be restrained and understand what it means to be a husband.
When the emperor thought of this, he didn't stop it.
Ye Xiaoyan didn't realize until today that Nangong You was so powerless in front of these elders. What else would you say besides asking for mercy? Even refusing to give marriage is so tactful. She was suddenly disappointed.
When the Queen Mother ordered someone to take her back to the palace, Nangong You followed her all the way to the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace. Nangong You held her hand, but she didn't know why, the feeling of holding hands was not as warm as before.
She didn't know what had changed, but she just felt bad. She had a feeling that she was going to lose everything.
In the following days, the Queen Mother did not do anything to her, but just isolated her from the outside world and asked her to copy 1,000 copies of the "Daughter's Book" written by Xu Zishu. It is said when the transcription will be completed and when it will be able to leave.
"The Book of Daughters" has more than 3,000 words, and the Queen Mother requires that each copy be neatly written. Ye Xiaoyan tried, and according to the Queen Mother's requirements, she could only copy a little more than two copies a day. That's a 1,000-copy finish...... Ye Xiaoyan wanted to scold.
The news also reached the Xuanwang Mansion. Nangong You pleaded with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said that if she wanted Ye Xiaoyan to go back as soon as possible, he would marry Xu Zishu as soon as possible.
Of course, Ye Xiaoyan didn't know these things, she was now like being in prison, isolated from the world. In the past few days, she asked the palace maid to find her a wooden board and a carving knife, and she wanted to try stereotyping. She doesn't know how to carve, though.
The palace maid reported to the queen mother that Princess Xuan asked for a wooden board carving knife, and the queen mother thought that she was going to carve something, so she didn't care about her, asked the palace maid to give it to her, and told her to take care of Princess Xuan's diet and daily life, after all, she was a pregnant person, and there could be no mistakes.
Although the Queen Mother tried her best to marry Xu Zishu into the Xuanwang Mansion, she didn't dare to do anything to Ye Xiaoyan. In the final analysis, the Queen Mother is not a real villain.
Another night, Ye Xiaoyan has been locked up here for eight days.
If you want to say that it is off, it is not exactly. This room is the deepest room in this courtyard. Pushing open the window, there is a mini backyard outside that is square to a certain size, and she can still go out to let off steam. On the first day Ye Xiaoyan came here, she visually saw that the wall of this mini courtyard was about seven or eight meters high, and the idea of "escaping" was immediately dispelled. There's no way she'll be able to climb up.
That night, Ye Xiaoyan sat in the mini backyard and looked up at the sky. After repeated attempts, many wooden boards were carved, and the "lettering project" progressed slowly. But she was not discouraged, after all, she had never carved before, and after so many days, her craft had improved. She estimates that in two or three months, she will be able to complete the engraving. It's just that she is worried that the old woman will say that she is opportunistic or refuses to let go.
Ye Xiaoyan pondered in her heart, should she contribute movable type printing to the emperor? Let the emperor see that she has contributed and let her go back?
However, she is not so relieved about the emperor now. This old man makes people feel amiable, but in fact, the water is deep, and it is really the emperor's mind!
Looking at the sky above her head, she suddenly remembered "**" and remembered the story of those revolutionary aspirants who were locked up in prison. Thinking about it, she opened her mouth to sing: "Three watches in the middle of the night, looking forward to the dawn, the cold winter wax moon, looking forward to the spring breeze, if you want to look forward to it, the Red Army is coming, the mountains are blooming all over, and the mountains are red ......" The mini backyard is almost chimney-shaped, like a megaphone, Ye Xiaoyan's ethereal and melodious singing voice floats to the rest of the palace.
After Ye Xiaoyan finished singing, she thought about Nangong You, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
Suddenly, a sneaky voice came from the head of the wall: "Third Emperor Sister-in-law! ”
