Chapter 1: Return to Beijing

Next Chapter

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the current emperor Jianyuan Emperor is reviewing the folds.

Although Emperor Jianyuan is over thirty years old, even the crown prince under his knees has already married a wife, but a handsome and resolute face can not see the slightest trace of the passage of time.

The inner supervisor Feng Hui quietly walked in and whispered in Emperor Jianyuan's ear: "Your Majesty, the car of the county lord of Yonghe has entered the city, and it should be to the eldest princess's mansion at this moment."

Emperor Jianyuan corrected the hand of the fold and instructed Feng Hui: "The tribute offered by Goguryeo two days ago, pick some good ones and send them to my aunt's mansion, as well as the two red coral bonsai in the inner library, and also send them to my aunt's mansion." Yan He is tired of traveling and driving, so she doesn't have to enter the palace today to thank her, let her rest and come back to see me tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Hui took the order and left. After preparing the reward, Feng Hui personally led the people to the eldest princess's mansion.

His Majesty favored the county lord of Yonghe.

The world thinks that His Majesty feels that the royal family owes the county lord Yonghe because the prince repents of his marriage, and only Feng Hui knows that His Majesty has hidden unspeakable thoughts about the county lord of Yonghe.

In the past, His Majesty hid it very well because of the prince and his seniority, but since His Majesty got the news of Jiangnan and knew that the old lady of the Gu family had moved the mind of kissing and intending to hire her granddaughter as the eldest granddaughter-in-law, this inevitable thought no longer wanted to hide.

A Cuigai Zhuluan carriage with dozens of guards stopped in front of the main gate of the eldest princess's mansion, Xie Yanhe lifted the cotton curtain hanging on the car window, and looked at the vermilion plaque hanging in front of the eldest princess's mansion.

The servants outside the gate removed the threshold, and the carriage drove in. In front of the second gate, Xie Yanhe got into a small sedan chair and was carried by the mother-in-law to the Chunhui Hall where the eldest princess of Ping An lived.

Xie Yanhe got out of the sedan chair and saw Aunt Qiu, the eldest princess's personal female official, waiting outside the door in person.

Aunt Qiu saw Xie Yan and the figure of getting off the sedan chair and hurriedly greeted her: "Why did the county lord lose so much weight?" The eldest princess is not distressed to see you. ”

Aunt Qiu has been by the eldest princess's side since she was a child, she has never married in her life, and she still has the title of a fourth-grade female official, and the Xie family has to respect this aunt a few points.

"Aunt Qiu." Xie Yanhe didn't expect that it would be Aunt Qiu who greeted her in person, so he blessed his body and made a half-salute.

Aunt Qiu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid: "How dare you be such a big gift as the county lord, it's cold outside, come in with me." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain himself.

Xie Yanhe entered the house, and in the house where the earth dragon was burning, a wave of heat came to her face, and the maid stepped forward to relieve her of the white fox fur.

Xie Yanhe took a look around the flower hall, and saw that Chunhui Hall was crowded with people, the eldest aunt Cui, the third aunt Meng, the lobby sister-in-law Xiao Cui, the third sister-in-law Wei, the fourth sister-in-law Du, the fifth sister-in-law Guo, two cousins, and even the married hall sister Mrs. Cai Guogong Shizi and the second cousin Mrs. Changxinghou were there.

I'm afraid it's still for the incident three years ago, lest she can't think about it.

Xie Yanhe's heart was sour, and the alienation of her relatives was diluted a lot at first glance, she knelt on the soft cushion laid by the maid, and her eyes were full of tears: "Grandmother Wanfu Jin'an, granddaughter is not filial, so you are worried."

The eldest princess has never shed tears a few times in her life, and when she saw her granddaughter, who was weak and slender and seemed to fall down as soon as the wind blew, her eyes were red, and she said in a loud voice: "Good boy, get up quickly."

Aunt Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Yanhe up, and wiped Xie Yanhe's tears with a handkerchief. Xie Yanhe's mood calmed down slightly, and after seeing the relatives in the hall one by one, he was hugged by the eldest princess.

"Poor boy." The eldest aunt Cui Shi wiped away her tears with a handkerchief: "I went out and suffered this time."

Xie Yanhe shook his head: "Auntie, my grandmother is very good to me, I just miss home."

The Gu family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xie Yanhe has been raised by the eldest princess since the death of his parents, and he has not met his maternal grandfather's family a few times.

Three years ago, the prince repented of marrying and marrying another, Xie Yanhe became the laughing stock of Shangjing, and the eldest princess was afraid that she would not be able to stand those gossip, so she sent her to her grandfather's house in Jiangnan. Although she is related to the Gu family, in the past three years, she has been more like a guest in the Gu family.

If it weren't for the fact that she was going back to Beijing to prepare for marriage this time, her grandmother might not have let her come back at all. Thinking of this, Xie Yan and burst into tears, crying into a tearful person.

When the eldest princess saw her crying like this, although she was distressed, she had nothing she could do.

The one who regretted the marriage was His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince of the country, the future son of heaven, the eldest princess is not the only granddaughter, even if she has an advantage in seniority, she does not dare to seek justice with the prince, and for the sake of this family, she can only grieve her granddaughter.

Although the eldest princess of Ping'an is a royal princess, she is kind and fair, lenient and severe, and unlike other mothers-in-law who like to grind their daughters-in-law, and they don't like to stuff people for their sons.

The three Langjun in the house, including the deceased Erlangjun, have no concubines, and even the grandchildren only guard their wives alone, so the people in the house are like a family, and there is not even a stumble on weekdays.

Facing Xie Yanhe, whose parents died early, the whole family felt pity for her like the eldest princess.

There was a sudden shush in the room.

At this moment, Fang Cao, the maidservant beside the eldest princess, led Feng Hui over: "Your Highness, the saint has a will."

The people in the room were stunned, and no one expected that Feng Hui, the number one celebrity next to the emperor, would quietly enter the mansion. Since Erlangjun went, this is a glory that the house has not had for a long time.

Seeing the opportunity, the eldest princess hurriedly got up from the Luohan couch and scolded Fangcao: "Feng Zhonggui is not bad when he comes over, how can he be bad."

The eldest lady Cui is the most able to guess her mother-in-law's mind, and hurriedly answered: "Feng Zhonggui, the subordinate has lost his manners and neglected something, and I hope Zhonggui will forgive me."

"Your Highness and Madame Cui are too polite. How dare the slave and maid be such a great gift to Your Highness. Feng Hui smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on Xie Yanhe, who was holding the eldest princess's arm, and he was shocked.

I haven't seen her for three years, and the cardamom girl who originally had a little childishness on her face has completely grown, and her snowy skin is beautiful.

It seems that although it is weak and slender, Chu waist is not full of hand, but the straight chest and slender legs are not lost to the woman who is in the prime of her life, it is really too fat if you increase one point, and too thin if you lose one point.

"The lord of Yonghe County will take the order." Feng Hui beat the dust in his hand and began to read out the long list of rewards from His Majesty on the gift list.

When he finished reading, Xie Yan and the leader thanked him, and Feng Hui personally helped the person up: "County Lord, Your Majesty has read that you have been tired of traveling and traveling, so that you can rest for a while today, and enter the palace tomorrow to thank you."

Xie Yanhe's eyes were red, and when she heard what Feng Hui said, she lowered her bright eyes and said softly: "Feng Zhonggui, my identity is embarrassing, so I still don't go to the palace to dislike people."

The eldest princess didn't expect her granddaughter to be so bold that she even dared to refuse Emperor Jianyuan's will.

What kind of person is Emperor Jianyuan, when he raised the army to serve the king, the blood of Taihemen was washed for three days and three nights, and his brothers and nephews were all killed by him. Although he ascended the throne as the emperor, he consolidated the imperial power and leveled the four provinces, but he was reckless and capricious, and the important ministers in the court did not dare to plunder his edge, and the elders of several dynasties shrank themselves into quails one by one, but his granddaughter openly resisted the decree in front of Feng Hui, a close confidant of Emperor Jianyuan, this is, this is going to cause trouble!

The county lord has been away from the palace for three years, and this is a separation from His Majesty. However, Feng Hui did not dare to specialize in such a noble matter.

To the surprise of the eldest princess, Feng Hui's attitude was particularly kind, and even with a little untraced respect in his words: "The county lord is too worried." Your Majesty said, this inner palace is not the world of the crown prince and the crown princess, with Your Majesty in one day, no one dares to embarrass you. ”

The eldest princess was shocked, and her eyes suddenly collided with Feng Hui, and Feng Hui's eyes revealed a meaningful taste.

At that moment, the eldest princess's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, she didn't dare to think deeply, she quickly nodded her granddaughter's forehead, and said with a smile: "Mian'er, Your Majesty loves you like this, you can't be willful."

Grandmother spoke, and Xie Yanhe knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only nod.

Seeing that Xie Yanhe no longer refused, Feng Hui smiled on his face and said goodbye to the eldest princess.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Cui, personally sent people outside the mansion, and watched Feng get into the carriage before returning to the house in a hurry.

When I arrived at the inner hall, there was silence.

The eldest princess asked the maidservant to send Xie Yanhe back to the room to rest, and then retired a few juniors, except for Aunt Qiu, there was only the third lady Meng in the hall.

The eldest princess closed her eyes, Aunt Qiu pinched her shoulders, and her well-maintained face seemed to age a lot in an instant.

Mrs. Cui personally made a cup of tea for her mother-in-law, exchanged a look with the third lady Meng, and said with a little hesitation: "Mother, Your Majesty has been very dissatisfied with the crown prince recently, and Feng Hui said such things again today, Your Majesty ...... him."

The eldest princess opened her eyes: "The holy will is unpredictable, anyone can say anything about the prince, only our Xie family can't say a word more about the prince, and be cautious in words and deeds, so as not to cause trouble for the family."

"Mother, the prince and Yan He have been engaged since childhood, but they regretted marrying three years ago, so Chen Rong is not only the niece of Princess Xianyong and the cousin of the prince, but where can she compare with her niece. What's more, His Majesty Chen, the crown prince's biological mother, has not been posthumously crowned so far, His Majesty is the supreme in the world, but Princess Xianyong is still the princess, which has to make people think. ”

The third lady Meng is the niece of the eldest princess, and her biological mother is the eldest princess of Changning, who has always been favored in front of her mother-in-law and aunt, even if she knows that her mother-in-law is displeased, some words are still unhappy: "Although Your Majesty did not choose or accept concubines after ascending the throne, there is still a third prince under his knees, and Yan He can't marry the prince......"

Before Mrs. Meng finished speaking, the tea cup in the eldest princess's hand had fallen to Mrs. Meng's feet, and the crisp sound of broken porcelain startled Mrs. Meng, she was just about to speak, but she was silenced under the gloomy face of the eldest princess.

"Evil obstacles! The crown prince and the second prince are also something you can discuss?! ”
