Chapter 59: Getting in the Way
It was night, and the moon was not seen for a long time.
"Why hasn't this moon come out yet?"
Qin'er put the lotus seed cake on the table and looked outside, "Niangniang, maybe this dark cloud is blocking the moon, I look like it's going to rain"
The queen put down the lotus seed cake in her hand, "Go and bring my clothes, I'm going to go out"
"It's so late, where are you going?" Qin'er asked curiously.
"Take a trip"
The queen put on her cloak and hurried towards the palace gate.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning swept across the sky, instantly lighting up the entire night sky.
Ye He had just fallen asleep when the butler came knocking on the door.
"Master, master........."
"What's the matter at this late hour?" Ye He asked, looking outside from getting up.
"Master, someone is looking for you outside"
"Who?" Lee asked.
The housekeeper was stumbling, "Master, you better go and have a look."
Li got up and put on the man's clothes, Ye He followed the housekeeper and hurriedly walked towards the study, and suddenly it rained heavily halfway through, and the two couldn't help but speed up their pace.
In the study, the man in the cloak sat with his back to him.
The butler was about to close the door and wait outside.
The woman slowly turned around, revealing a somewhat pale face.
Ye He quickly knelt on the ground when he saw it, "Queen Mother, I don't know if Niangniang is so late, what do you command?" ”
The queen took off the cloak and asked straight to the point, "Do you know that Ye Ruotang is going to marry Mu Yuyan as his wife?" ”
Ye He never heard of it, "I haven't heard of it"
"Today, Mu Yuyan led Ye Ruotang to the palace to propose marriage, the emperor has agreed, and the priesthood should come tomorrow."
"Really?" Ye He had a smile on his face.
The queen saw it and slapped it heavily on the table, "Ye Hecong, you are very happy"
Ye He immediately hid his smile, "Weichen doesn't dare"
"This palace came tonight to tell you that Ye Ruotang can't marry Mu Yuyan," the queen glanced at him coldly, "Who is General Ning Yuan?" "The only one who can match him is this palace.
Of course, the queen did not say the latter words.
Ye Hecong's heart sank, "Wechen has been working for the queen for many years............"
"Ye He, don't forget, who pulled you when you were in dire straits?" The Empress interrupted him with a few words.
"Self-Appointed Queen"
"I hope you're smarter about this."
"Yes"
The queen didn't stop, put on the cloak and hurriedly left the Ye Mansion.
After the butler saw off the queen, he went into the study.
"Master, what's going on?"
"The queen mother just said that the emperor gave marriage to Ruotang and General Ning Yuan"
When the housekeeper heard it, "Master, this is a good thing"
"What's good, the queen said that Ruotang can't marry General Ning Yuan"
"What does that mean?"
"Where do I know where to go" was deflated for no reason in the evening, and Ye He was extremely depressed.
Back in the room, the Li family had already fallen asleep, and Ye He had not slept all night looking at the dancing candle flame from sleeping outside.
The next day, Ye Ruotang and Mu Yuyan got up early and prepared to go back to Ye's house.
Due to the overnight rain, many of the flowers in the flower garden died, and Lu Li pulled out their corpses and planted fresh flowers.
"The general is good now, with Miss Ye. Me? I don't need to follow me anywhere, I'm completely free-range," Lu Min sat slumped aside and complained quietly.
Ye Ruotang smiled when he heard it, "Okay, I'll tell you a kiss when I catch up with Ming'er, and promise not to let you stay alone."
"Really?" As soon as Lu Min heard this, a carp stood up and walked to the girl in three steps and two steps.
"When did I lie to you?"
"Then I want that kind of girl who looks like a watery girl, and she is cute at first sight"
"Good"
"We have to be able to cook, or the two of us may starve to death one day."
"Good"
"..........." Lu Min wanted to say something, but was thrown aside by Mu Yuyan, "It's good to have a girl willing to marry you, and you're picky in every way"
Lu Min didn't like to listen to it, and immediately put on a posture that he thought he was very handsome, "In terms of appearance, although I can't compare to the general, I'm also a beautiful man."
Ye Ruotang listened and covered his snicker.
"Okay, wait until we come back from the Ye family to find you."
"Then you'll have to come back sooner."
"Good"
"............" Lu Min stood at the door and watched them walk far before entering the mansion, a gust of cold wind blew, hugging himself alone.
When he arrived at Ye's house, he didn't see Ye Hecong, but Li was smiling.
"Ruotang, look at you've lost weight, just tell me what you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen make it for you."
Ye Ruotang looked around, "Why didn't you see your father?" ”
"Master, I entered the palace early in the morning"
"Oh"
"Let's go and sit in the house."
Inside the Imperial Study
Ye He knelt down tremblingly, and the emperor looked at him with a pale face, "Ye Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”
"Imperial .......... Your Majesty, the little girl is blessed, I'm afraid ......... I'm afraid that I won't be blessed to be loved by General Ning Yuan. Moreover, when the little girl was young, Weichen had already married her to others."
"Who is it?"
"It's my fellow countryman in Qingshui County, the youngest son of the Cao family"
When the emperor heard this, he was a little embarrassed, "But I have already agreed to the two of them."
"The emperor asks you to take back your fate, this marriage is Ruotang's deceased mother promised in front of the doll kiss, Weichen thought that Ruotang is still young, so he hasn't told her yet, this will not be a few days after Ruotang will be with Xuan, originally thought to wait for Hexuan to say to her later, and then go back to Qingshui County to marry the youngest son of the Cao family..........."
The emperor showed embarrassment, "Since you are a doll, you can talk to the Cao family"
"The emperor doesn't know that the Cao family has been kind to our Ye family before, if he regrets his marriage, he is afraid that he will be infamous for being unfaithful and unjust."
After thinking about it in a thousand ways, the emperor only said, "Ye Aiqing, you go back first, Rong Zhen will think about it again"
"Emperor Xie"
Palace of Tranquility
The queen was closing her eyes to recuperate, because of the rain that had fallen all night last night, and the old problem of headache had been committed again.
Suddenly, Qin'er hurriedly ran in, and the queen retreated from the palace maids on the left and right.
"How?"
"I watched Master Ye come out of the imperial study, maybe it was done"
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope it has come true, otherwise it will ..........."
.................
Ye He saw Ye Ruotang and Mu Yuyan from the time he returned to Ye Mansion, his heart tightened, and he looked a little flustered.
"Master, you're back just in time, come over for dinner quickly"
Ye He hesitated for a long time before walking over.
"General Ning Yuan"
Mu Yuyan got up, "Lord Ye, please take a seat"
"Good......... Good"
Ye He kept his head down, didn't say much, just cared about eating the rice in the bowl, which was about to send a spice to his mouth.
Ye Ruotang hurriedly said, "Father, that's spices"
Ye He came back to his senses from this and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't see it, I didn't see it."
Ye Ruotang felt a little weird, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
Ye He looked at the girl's face and became even more uneasy, "It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well last night"
"It rained so hard last night"
"yes"
After eating, the group sat in the garden, and Ye Hecong looked a little restless.
"Nan'er, why haven't you seen it?"
Li glanced at Ye Ruotang secretly, "Nan'er is unwell today and is resting in the room."
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he smiled, "Second sister is fine, do you want me to take a look?"
"No........... No, it may be that some of them are infected with wind chills."
"Can you see the doctor?"
"It's not a big problem, maybe it's good to get some sleep."
Ye Ruotang nodded thoughtfully.
The four of them sat and talked, but Ye Ruotang looked at the door from time to time, and whispered in the man's ear, "Ah Yan, why hasn't the holy decree come yet?" ”
Mu Yuyan shook his head, "Maybe the emperor has something to delay."
"It can't be that something went wrong."
The man gently patted the back of the girl's hand, "Don't worry, I'm here"
So, they sat down until dark, and the decree still did not come.
Ye Ruotang was a little surprised: "Could the emperor have forgotten?" ”
Mu Yuyan suddenly looked at Ye Hecong, "Lord Ye entered the palace today?" ”
Ye He never thought that the man would suddenly ask like this, and his heart trembled, "Yes......... yes."
"I don't know what is the matter with entering the palace?"
Ye He was even more restless in the face of the man's questioning, "It's just a little thing"
"A little thing? Why is it that even the emperor is alarmed"
Ye Ruotang also seemed to feel that something was wrong: "Father entered the palace for my marriage with Ah Yan?" ”
"This ........... This .........."
"Father, yes or no?"
Faced with the questioning of the two, Ye He admitted "yes" from gritting his teeth
"I didn't tell my father about it, so how did he know about it?"
Ye He never spoke, but Mu Yuyan sneered, "It must have been passed on by people in the palace."
"What did my father say to the emperor?"
Ye He couldn't hide it anymore from the eyes, so he simply said, "Ruotang, you can't marry General Ning Yuan"
"Why not?"
"When your mother was still alive, she made a baby kiss with you and the Cao family in Qingyuan County. If it's a girl or a boy, it's a good marriage, and if it's a boy and a girl, it's a husband and wife."
"The Cao family's .........."
"It's a boy"
Ye Ruotang took a few steps back, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
"I haven't met that Cao Gongzi face-to-face, what if I don't like it?"
"A few days ago, I sent your portrait to the Cao family, and the son of the Cao family is very satisfied with you.
"Then why did my father never mention it to me?"
"You're still young, I'm thinking I'll talk to you later."
“...........”
Ye Ruotang had tears in his eyes, and he ran back to Tangyuan without saying anything.
