Chapter Twenty-Nine: Liu Yuyan and His People
Since Leng Han asked the emperor for permission to suspend the selection of concubines, although the emperor did not say it openly, some ministers in the court still received this message.
Yunshui Pavilion Liu Concubine Dormitory.
"Auntie, I heard my father say that the fourth prince will not choose the princess, so forget about Yan'er!" The fourth prince suspended the selection of concubines, but I don't know that it is not a good thing, so that it is easier for my aunt to help me in front of the emperor, Liu Yuyan thought to himself.
"Yan'er, don't worry, the last Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet aunt didn't have a chance to push you out in front of the emperor, at that time there was still the emperor list there, the emperor was not good at answering the palace, and now the fourth prince himself proposed to suspend the selection of concubines, it is an opportunity, you wait for the news from your aunt."
Auntie, don't let me down," Auntie, Yan'er doesn't want to trouble you. ”
"Don't worry, my aunt is not for you, it's for our Liu family. What's wrong with you and Princess Ten lately? I didn't see you enter the palace to find her, the tenth princess is the most favored princess, don't be unfamiliar with your relationship with her. "Concubine Liu mentions some willow rain smoke, Yan'er Hashimoto Palace will help you take it, but you have to go by yourself, see if you can fight.
"I know, auntie, Yan'er will go to the tenth princess." Liu Yuyan blessed his body and left.
Since the portrait was bumped into by the tenth princess, Liu Yuyan felt that the tenth princess was a little estranged from her, and often came to look for the princess, but the princess was not there, she felt that the tenth princess was closed to her and angry with her. In fact, she thought about it a lot, and the tenth princess just ran more to Shu Ruona, so she was less in the palace.
When Liu Yuyan arrived at the tenth princess, the tenth princess was competing with Yang Caixuan, so she had to wait on the sidelines. What a Yang Caixuan, you actually came to find the tenth princess by yourself.
The ten princesses caught a glimpse of Liu Yuyan coming and motioned for Yang Caixuan to stop. Walked up to Liu Yuyan and put down the sword, "Yuyan, it's been a long time since I saw you come to play with the palace?" ”
"Princess, wronged, it happened that you were not there when I came, princess. If you don't believe me, you can ask the little house if I've been here many times. After speaking, he glanced at the tenth princess with resentment. But I'm going to talk about you, you play by yourself, and you don't take me with you. Is it because you think I'm weak and don't know martial arts, you don't look down on me? ”
"Yuyan, this is not what this palace meant." The tenth princess felt a little guilty and felt that it was all because of herself.
Liu Yuyan had a life-saving grace for the tenth princess, when the tenth princess was eight years old, she accidentally fell into the water, and Liu Yuyan rescued the tenth princess, but she did not come up herself. When the palace maids rushed over, they saw that the princess had been crying, crying and telling everyone to save Liu Yuyan, saying that Liu Yuyan saved her. After being rescued, because he had been immersed in cold water for too long, he injured his body and was too weak to practice martial arts.
In fact, Liu Yuyan disdains martial arts, she thinks that the girl's family fights and kills all day long, and the stinky sweat is too disgusting. I feel that I should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting like myself, which is what a noble girl should be. Yang Caixuan can't look down on her, but she just has to be with the princess, so she is reluctant to entertain.
Liu Yuyan looked at the guilty look of the tenth princess, and knew that her goal had been achieved, "Okay, I'm teasing you, I see you take it so seriously." You're all tired, sit down and rest. ”
The tenth princess, seeing that Liu Yuyan didn't care, seemed to be really fine, so she was relieved. After all, she felt guilty about Yuyan.
Yang Caixuan came to the tenth princess today to ask her to verify the fourth prince's choice of concubine. Before, the princess pulled her to compete with the sword, and she didn't have a chance to say, but now it was an opportunity.
"Princess, I heard that the fourth prince doesn't choose a princess, is this true?"
"Caixuan, you're very well informed, but it's not that you don't choose, it's that you're suspended."
"Why is it suspended?" Yang Caixuan was a little anxious, and took the hand of the tenth princess. Liu Yuyan listened quietly, she also wanted to know that her aunt didn't say why just now.
"Why, I can't marry my fourth brother in a hurry! Think so much about being my fourth sister-in-law, can Yuyan watch from the side? He said and looked at Liu Yuyan with a smile.
"Princess, you'll make fun of me." Yang Caixuan also wants to marry the fourth prince, what did she say last time, fair competition, have you fought for me as a martial artist's daughter?
Yang Caixuan glanced at Liu Yuyan, "Who doesn't want to marry in the entire Tang Dynasty, the fourth prince, let's compete fairly." ”
"I'll go and talk to the fourth brother and take you all into the palace, so that both of you will be my sister-in-law." The more the tenth princess thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was good, and decided to tell the fourth brother one day.
"Princess, don't tease us. The god of war like the four princes, and the talented people like Caixuan who can be literate and martial are worthy of it. I'll forget it, I don't want to cause trouble to the fourth prince. Liu Yuyan was happy when she heard the princess say this, but she still had to pretend to be reserved. It is also a shortcut for the princess to help. As for Yang Caixuan to find a way to solve it, the position of the concubine must belong to me.
"The imperial list has come out, and I haven't seen who the fourth prince chose for so long, so it's paused again. Princess, do you know what the reason is for the fourth prince to suspend the selection of concubines? Yang Caixuan wanted to know the reason, she wanted to know if she still had a chance.
Seeing that Yang Caixuan was so anxious, the tenth princess didn't continue to tease them, "When the palace knew about this, I went to ask my father and the emperor, it seems that the fourth brother may have someone he likes." The fourth brother himself is not sure, and this person did not go to the Four Kings' Mansion to send the portrait. So the fourth brother asked his father to suspend the election of the princess, instead of not choosing the princess, you still have a chance. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yuyan clenched her hands, her nails were inserted into the flesh, she didn't feel it, she wanted to ask who that person was, but she couldn't, she had to spend a lot of effort to control herself, so she didn't ask.
Yang Caixuan is different, she is straightforward, "Princess, do you know who the fourth prince likes?" ”
"I don't know, the fourth brother's mouth is tight, and my father doesn't know either. Hongu also wanted to know what kind of woman captured the heart of the fourth brother. ”
"The woman who can be favored by the fourth prince must be a strange woman." Liu Yuyan was jealous to death in his heart, and his mind quickly flashed that among the noble daughters of the Yanjing City family, who might be favored by the four princes.
"Yuyan, when you say that, I want to know more. However, I didn't dare to ask the fourth brother directly. The tenth princess pouted.
"Well, we'll all know eventually." As long as Leng Han hasn't chosen the princess, she still has a chance, Yang Caixuan thought so, she didn't want to give up casually.
Later, they talked about something else, and after Liu Yuyan found that he couldn't get useful information from the tenth princess, he found a reason to go back.
Back in her boudoir in Liu Xiang's Mansion, she lost her temper and smashed the room into a mess. Which slut is it, who fascinated the hearts of the four princes, and Yang Caixuan, that slut, why is she fighting with me. The maids were so frightened that they hid outside, not daring to go in.
Everyone in Yanjing knows Prime Minister Liu's mansion, Liu Yuyan is the first lady in Yanjing City, with a gentle and graceful personality, knowledgeable and courteous, but she is looking for someone to publicize it. Only a few of the maids she served knew her true temperament, and even her father, Prime Minister Liu Cheng, was kept in the dark.
After Liu Yuyan finished venting, she called Zizhu Zilan, and she asked Zizhu to find someone to check if there were any women around the four princes recently. Instructed Zilan to find someone to follow Yang Caixuan, find out Yang Caixuan's mistakes, even if not, find a suitable opportunity and stomp on her.
Liu Yuyan felt that she was the most suitable person for the position of the princess of the Four Princes' Mansion, and she had been looking for someone to promote her good reputation over the years, so that one day her name could be with Leng Han's name.
Therefore, no matter who it is, don't want to fight with her, the princess of the Four Princes Mansion can only be her, it must be her.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who received the news, returned home to find Liu Yuyan.
"Yan'er, have you entered the palace today?"
"My aunt asked Yan'er to talk to her."
"My father heard that the fourth prince suspended the election of the princess, but really, did your aunt say anything?"
"It's true, my aunt said that it's okay, she will help her daughter say a few good words in front of the emperor and recommend her daughter." said, pretending to be shy.
Prime Minister Liu looked at the daughter in front of him, who was becoming more and more iconic, "Yan'er, she has really grown up." It seems that the father cannot be kept. ”
"Daddy, you're going to make fun of your daughter." Liu Yuyan was coquettish.
"Hahaha...... Okay, it's Daddy who wants to fork in. "Prime Minister Liu Cheng really loves Liu Yuyan's daughter. Although he also chases fame and fortune, he can fight for the affairs of the court himself, and he doesn't have to use his daughter to add icing on the cake to him, but if Yan'er likes it, he also supports it.
