Xie Yanhe went to the eldest princess's mansion.

Unexpectedly, this time I saw two people I didn't expect. Since she returned to Beijing, the eldest uncle Xie Guogong and the third uncle Changxinghou, who have not shown up, are all gathered in the eldest princess's mansion at this moment, as if they came together.

The Xie family all have a good appearance, the eldest uncle Xie Qi and the third uncle Xie Jin are seventy percent similar in appearance, with the same sword eyebrows and starry eyes, beautiful hair and fluttering, they are all rare beautiful men.

Seeing Xie Yanhe come in, Xie Guogong and Changxinghou both showed a look of love. It's not like an elder who has just returned to Beijing after a niece who has been away from home for three years, but she avoids it under the pretext of being busy with official business.

Xie Yanhe did not resent these two people.

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it is a little cooler when it is placed on relatives.

"My niece asks my uncle to say goodbye, and I greet my third uncle." Xie Yan and the two Xiang brothers greeted each other one by one.

"Yan He is getting more and more beautiful. Uncle almost didn't recognize it. Xie Qi tried to make his tone as kind as possible.

He didn't prepare a meeting gift for this niece in advance, so he had to take off a jade pendant from his waist and put it on the tray held by his subordinates.

Xie Jin, the third brother, was more attentive than his eldest brother, and he had already guessed that Xie Yanhe would come to his mother's mansion, so he hurriedly put the prepared red seal on it.

Xie Yanhe hadn't seen this thing in her eyes yet, she said respectfully: "Uncle, third uncle, niece is already an adult, where is it like when she was a child, asking for gifts from her elders." ”

When Xie Yanhe was eight years old, King Yong had already become emperor. At that time, she was not only the pearl of the emperor's palm, but also the future crown princess.

Now, Uncle Xie Qi even forgot to prepare a meeting gift for her. The warmth of human affection is nothing more than that.

"The elders gave it, and they didn't dare to resign. What the two of them gave you, you just have to take it. ”

The eldest princess beckoned to her granddaughter and asked Xie Yanhe to sit beside her.

"Grandmother heard...... Yesterday evening, the prince went to the Hou Mansion to visit. Yan He, why is the prince looking for you? ”

The eldest princess is the emperor's daughter, and at this age, she doesn't like to talk around the corner, even in front of her granddaughter, she still chooses to get straight to the point.

Xie Yanhe lowered his eyes, and swept the ears of the eldest uncle and the third uncle in the afterglow, and a trace of mockery flashed in her bright eyes, and she said softly: "Back to my grandmother's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to congratulate my brother on his promotion to the protector of the capital of Anxi, but he just sat down for a while and left." ”

"Really?" The eldest princess replied in a low voice, and she didn't know how much she believed Xie Yanhe's answer.

"Yan He, grandmother knows that you are a sensible child. If you are not ready to marry into the East Palace, you should stay away from the prince, the palace has already exchanged Geng posts with the Li family. ”

The eldest princess saw it a few years ago that the prince had no intention of this granddaughter, and if it wasn't for the emperor pressing on his head, the marriage would have been canceled a long time ago.

What's more, there is also a beloved cousin with the prince, and when the granddaughter enters the East Palace at this time, not only can she only change from a wife to a concubine, not to mention the reputation of the Xie family, but also hate the prince.

Once the emperor is a hundred years later, the crown prince ascends the throne, and the Xie family will definitely be liquidated.

The eldest princess has been immersed in the palace for a long time, and after several ups and downs, she can see it very thoroughly. This is exactly why she didn't want her granddaughter to be the crown princess a few years ago.

In the palace, a woman without favor, even if she is as noble as a queen, will never end up much better.

Xie Yanhe didn't expect that his grandmother had already exchanged Geng posts with the Li family, his face froze, and the whole person was stunned.

"Mother, you are so confused!" The eldest princess's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Xie Guogong's whole person was stupid!

After Xie Guogong was stunned for a short time, he quickly came back to his senses, and he was even more anxious than Xie Yan and this party.

Xie Guogong said like a cannon: "Mother, my nephew now has soldiers and horses under his hands, and my niece has the emperor's favor. The niece is free to enter and leave the palace. Your Majesty is not only a son of the crown prince, with the connections of our Xie family, if you choose to support the third prince to ascend to the throne, it may not be impossible to succeed! ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she glanced deeply at her eldest son.

Just when Xie Qi was apprehensive by the pressure in the eldest princess's eyes, the eldest princess turned her eyes and looked at her third son, and said angrily: "Third child, do you think so too?" ”

Xie Qi was suddenly named by his mother, he secretly exhaled a turbid breath, and his eyes went straight to the eldest princess sitting on the top, and his expression revealed a little disbelieving.

Xie Qi said: "Mother, my son knows your desire for stability. But what the eldest brother said was not unreasonable. Our Xie family has been hairpins for generations, with big trees and deep roots, where can we compare to the Chen family who climbed up by relying on women's nepotism? ! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never put our Xie family in his eyes, such a great shame, if we blindly endure it, we will only make the world laugh in vain. ”

The eldest princess's eyes showed deep disappointment with the two brothers.

Since ancient times, the struggle for imperial power has always been bloodshed, and once defeated, it will only be overnight to wipe out the family. The eldest princess has lost a son, she is afraid, she doesn't want to go through another heartbroken white-haired person sending a black-haired person!

What's more, these two sons are ambitious and talented, and they are not half a star worse than the second son. The prince has become a wing, what will the two of them fight!

Is it just the ethereal name of the Xie family?! How naïve! And how stupid!

The eldest princess was disheartened for a while, and she didn't bother to talk to these two sons anymore, she said coldly: "This palace has already exchanged Geng posts with the Li family, and now it's too late to say anything, do you brothers want to let this palace be the one who doesn't believe in his words!" ”

Xie Guogong choked.

Out of the corner of his eye, he swept over the girl who was sitting quietly beside the eldest princess. The girl's eyes drooped slightly, and on her face as white as a pear blossom, two fan-shaped shadows were cast on her long, curly eyelashes, which were as beautiful as a painting.

Except for the blind prince, such a beauty has the capital to make any man's heart move.

Xie Guogong was very unwilling in his heart, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The quality of my niece Meiyu, that Li Mu is just a little-known martial artist in the border area, where is he worthy of his niece's talent." It's a big deal, the son chose a daughter from the Xie family from the clan to marry him, and that was also his Li family. ”

Xie Yan and Wan didn't expect that their uncle would even inquire about Li Mu's surname clearly, and he felt a little funny for a while.

Xie Yanhe originally thought that in front of his uncle, his niece had no use value. Unexpectedly, the eldest uncle and the third uncle had a big plan, but they underestimated them.

"Bastard thing! The two of you brothers immediately gave this heart to Hongu. If you let the palace know that you dare to fight the idea of the three princes secretly, don't blame the palace for not thinking about the love of mother and son! ”

The eldest princess grabbed the gold-inlaid red lion on the Arhat couch and threw it on the ground.

The heavy Ruyi landed at Xie Guogong's feet, making a dull sound.

The eldest princess relented in the face of her son after all, if this wishful thinking with gold and inlaid treasures was smashed on Xie Guogong's body, I was afraid that Xie Jin would have to lie on the couch immediately.

"Mother's anger!"

The eldest princess has been accumulating prestige in the mansion for a long time, even if her temper has become much better now because of her age, but Yu Wei is still there, Xie Jin and Xie Qi hurriedly knelt down in fear and pleaded guilty.

The eldest princess snorted coldly, and looked at her granddaughter beside her with majestic eyes: "Yan He, what about you?" Do you also want to marry the Third Prince? ”

Xie Yanhe didn't expect this fire to burn on herself, from beginning to end, she was just a spectator.

Xie Yanhe's slightly drooping eyes flashed a hint of thick ridicule.

She forcibly suppressed the resentment and unwillingness in her heart to be at the mercy of others, and said with a well-behaved face: "The granddaughter is all at the mercy of her grandmother's arrangement. ”

The eldest princess showed a hint of relief on her face, and couldn't help but scold her two sons: "I'm old, and I'm not as sensible as your niece." ”

Xie Yanhe pursed the corners of his lips and sat quietly beside the eldest princess, as if he was an invisible person.

Uncle and uncle have the preference of their mother, so they naturally have nothing to fear, while she has nothing.

If the father and mother are still alive...... Xie Yanhe slowly lowered his eyelashes, covering the little moisture that filled his eyes.

"Your Highness, there is a will." Lady Feng hurriedly walked in from outside the flower hall and whispered in the eldest princess's ear, "The angel has arrived at the main courtyard. ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Ying's voice with a little joy came from outside the hall: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, great joy!" ”

Feng Ying smiled happily, and under the guidance of her grandmother, she entered the house with a roll of bright yellow holy decrees.

"Come on, quickly set up the incense case." Although the eldest princess didn't know where the joy came from, she still hurriedly ordered the female officials around her.

"That's not necessary."

Feng Ying greeted Xie Guogong and Changxinghou in the flower hall very briefly, and then arched his hand to Xie Yanhe with a respectful face: "County Lord Jin An, Your Majesty has specially ordered that you will be exempted from salutation when you receive the order." ”

Feng Ying said and opened the holy decree: "The eldest princess takes the decree." ”

After Feng Ying read out the will, she smiled and congratulated the eldest princess: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, in the future, under the knees of the Marquis of Jingping, the two little princes will be honored as the men of the founding county." ”

"Your Majesty's Imperial Grace is immense." The eldest princess hurriedly thanked her, and she respectfully accepted the holy decree and put it on the incense table.

After doing all this, the eldest princess's warning eyes secretly glanced at the two sons, and successfully suppressed the joy on their faces, and then said with a smile: "Aunt Zhuang." ”

Aunt Zhuang curtled her knees when she heard this, and handed Feng Ying a beautifully embroidered purse.

Feng Ying was polite, and then he put the purse into his sleeve. He turned his gaze to Xie Yanhe and said extremely respectfully: "County Lord, Your Majesty has announced that you have entered the palace. "A cautious attitude, where is there still half a point of the arrogance of the royal celebrity.

When Xie Yanhe heard this, he clasped his red lips and was thinking about how to refuse, when he heard Xie Guogong say with a look of surprise: "It should be!" You're welcome! Your Majesty is so kind to the Xie family, and the ministers are willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty and never give up. ”

Xie Qi was excited, not only snatched his niece's words, but also completely ignored his mother's warning.
