Not long after Steward Zhou left, Mama Rong came.

"What?" Nangong asked.

Rong Mama said: "The fourth prince sent someone to the palace, asked if the master was there, and said that he wanted to talk to the master." The old slave came to ask the master to show him. ”

Nangong You looked at Ye Xiaoyan, and Ye Xiaoyan said, "Let him come here!" I probably haven't seen him in a long time, and I want to thank him for drinking with me. ”

Hearing Ye Xiaoyan say this, Nangong You's mood suddenly sank. said to Rong Mama: "You bring him here, let him wear regular clothes, just come alone, don't bring an entourage." ”

Mama Rong understands that bowing should be "yes". But there are some doubts in my heart: Mrs. Yan knows the four princes? Have you ever drunk with the Four Princes? Who the hell is this Mrs. Yan, why have you never heard of it before?

Ye Xiaoyan opened the courtyard door and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" Nangong asked.

"Go and ask Qingshu to prepare some good wine and food." Ye Xiaoyan said.

Nangong You now regrets that he didn't leave a single maid in the yard, and now he has to run in person if there is anything.

Ye Xiaoyan went fast and came back quickly. However, Sandao Street is not far from Erdao Street.

Nangong said: "Or, it's better to leave it to the maid to serve in this courtyard, right?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan smiled and tilted her head: "Who do you have a crush on?" ”

"Nonsense!" Nangong You reprimanded. But come to think of it, there really isn't a lot of manpower to spare.

In the afternoon, Nangong Chen came.

The south of the city, even the first half of the south of the city, is a strange place for Nangong Chen. At most, he had passed by South Street, but he had never walked into the alleys of this place, let alone visited a single house here. Mama Rong took him into the courtyard and left.

"Third Emperor Brother, why do you live here?" Nangong Chen was surprised. Such a small courtyard is not as big as the courtyard where the people in the Xuanwang Mansion live.

"Come and sit." Nangong Yu greeted under the eaves of the porch in front of the hall.

Nangong Chen walked over and looked at the courtyard. There are three main houses in the middle of the courtyard, three side rooms on each side, the eaves in front of the main house are outstretched, and under the eaves are placed thick wooden long tables, a few chairs, and a rattan chaise longue next to it. At this time, Ye Xiaoyan happened to come out of the main house with a tea set.

"Goddess?" Nangong Chen was shocked.

Nangong You looked back at Ye Xiaoyan and said with a smile: "She is not a goddess, she is my daughter-in-law." ”

Ye Xiaoyan smiled, put down the tea set, and boiled water to make tea.

Nangong Chen looked at Ye Xiaoyan carefully. As the commander of the Yulin Army, he saw the goddess when he greeted her. Later, the palace held a banquet to catch the wind, and he also met the goddess. The goddess lived in the royal palace, and he dispatched the Yulin army to escort him, and he had several dealings with the goddess and had a few conversations. Looking closely now, the woman in front of me and the goddess are only seven or eight points alike, but the temperament of the two is completely different. The goddess feels very gentle and elegant. And the woman in front of her felt very sharp, with a coldness between her eyebrows.

Nangong Chen remembered that the third emperor brother said that this woman was his daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law?

Of course, he knew what his daughter-in-law meant, and asked in surprise: "Brother Sanhuang, are you married again?" ”

Nangong Chen instantly made up a lot of brains. The three emperor brothers were frustrated, and found a woman to marry at random among the people, lived in the courtyard in the south of the city, and lived the life of a small person in the market.

Nangong glanced at him: "What is it called 'again'!" ”

Nangong Chen said: "Does my father know about this?" No wonder you don't live in the Xuanwang Mansion, and you don't live in the Xishan Villa, and you moved here. ”

He felt that his previous sentence was nonsense, and of course his father didn't know. How could the father allow the third emperor's brother to marry a folk woman. It's almost the same as being a concubine. But what the three emperor brothers just said was "daughter-in-law", and the daughter-in-law is the wife.

Nangong Youdao: "I can marry whoever I want." I'm just a commoner, and I'm in charge of my marriage. ”

Nangong Chen said: "However, Brother Sanhuang, you have not been removed from the genealogy, you are still a member of the royal family." If you don't have your father's permission, even if you marry someone you like, her name will not be on the genealogy, and the royal family will not recognize her. ”

Actually, Nangong Chen came to complain today. He heard from his mother that his father wanted to marry him. However, what he likes in his heart is Duan Haoqi. Although I don't know if Duan Haoqi has this idea about him, he feels very happy and happy with Haoqi's sister. There is a huge difference between the identities of him and Duan Haoqi, although the Duan family is a wealthy businessman in the Eastern Regions, and their aunt is Princess Xiao. But the Xiao family and the Nangong You family are different after all. The ancestors of the Xiao family swore that they would not marry the powerful people in the court, so the women married by the Xiao family were either scholarly families or merchant families. The Nangong family sits on the imperial dynasty, and every prince marries a wife, all of whom are powerful ministers and nobles. Even if the third emperor brother married the second daughter of the Ye family, the Ye family was also a family of powerful ministers.

Nangong You smiled mockingly and said, "As long as I am happy, I don't care if he admits it or not." I live my life, not the royal family for me. Isn't it enough for them to kill one? No, it's one corpse with two lives. ”

Nangong You said, looking at Ye Xiaoyan, seeing that her face was calm and unwavering, he felt a pain in his heart.

Nangong Chen understood the mood of the third emperor brother, and said: "However, this is not good for your wife, if you let your father know......" Nangong Chen looked at Ye Xiaoyan with some reluctance. With royal means, marrying a wife without permission, even if she later intercedes, she will either be reduced to a concubine or forced to hang herself. Although this kind of thing did not happen in the current dynasty, it did in the previous dynasty.

Nangong Yu said: "What do you know, can't I protect my wife?" ”

Nangong Chen said: "Do you want to do this and hide her for the rest of your life?" ”

Nangong smiled and said, "I didn't hide it!" Then he looked at Ye Xiaoyan.

Ye Xiaoyan poured tea for Nangong Chen and said, "We live here for convenience. We opened 10 shops on Sandao Street and are ready to create a food court. It's too far away in Xishan Villa, live in Sandao Street, and your third brother hates it, so we live here. ”

"Create a food street?" Nangong Chen was not surprised by the ten shops. The Ye family was punished, the second emperor sister lost, and Baiweilou and Duan's enterprises withdrew their shares. He knew that the Third Emperor Brother had money in his hands. Just, food court? This is a bit of a novelty.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "I have already asked someone to prepare, you can taste it at dinner." She knew that Nangong Chen was interested in food. Among Nangong You's brothers and sisters, only Nangong Chen is still closer. Although she doesn't like the royal family, she can't bring Nangong You to the point where she doesn't have any relatives, and she thinks it's not bad for Nangong Chen.

Nangong You asked Nangong Chen: "What do you want to tell me when you come this time?" ”

So Nangong Chen told him about hearing that his father was going to marry him.
