"Have you found out who it is?" A man dressed in dark red asked softly.

"It's the Great Prince"

"Sure enough, it's him," he said, and slammed a heavy punch on the table, "Mu Lingfeng, the position of the crown prince is all yours, and you still refuse to let me go?" ”

The man stood against the candlelight, took a deep breath, couldn't see the look on his face clearly, and asked after a long time.

"When will Uncle Huang return to Kyoto?"

"The holy decree has been passed down, and the Southern Turks have also collected troops, but General Ning Yuan doesn't seem to have moved."

"Is something wrong?"

The man in black thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Alright, you go down first"

"Yes"

"Wait"

"What else does Your Highness command?"

"Help me check the concubine of Ye Mansion, why have you never heard Ye He mention it?"

The man thought of Ye Ruotang's face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up.

"Yes"

*******

Since the last time Ye Ruotang sneaked out and was discovered, the back door was also guarded by Ye Hecong.

In two months, Ye Ruotang will be married, and after that, he will find a good man to marry, and in the past few days, the Li family often asks the matchmaker to find a man's portrait and run to Ye Hecong's study, which makes Ye Ruotang feel that one head is two big.

"This Li family is clearly not at ease" Looking at the portrait sent over on the table, Ye Ruotang threw it aside.

Midoritake picked up the portrait and looked at it.

"Didn't this Zhao family marry a wife last year? Is this to let the eldest lady go over to be a concubine? ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan said, "The eldest lady is the concubine of the Ye Mansion, how can she be a concubine for him?"

"The son of the Nalan family, he fell off the horse on a horse the year before last, and his left leg has not been healed until now, so it is estimated that he will be lame in the future."

"And this Liu Gongzi, everyone knows his romantic nature"

..............

Two maids, you don't stop talking about every word, Ye Ruotang's face is almost drooping to the ground, his eyebrows are twisted into a lump, and he stares at the portrait on the ground, and he feels that his brain hurts, why don't these people ask your own daughter to marry if they are so good? Do everything you can to block me.

Ye Ruotang's limbs danced wildly in the air, and he looked at the green diaphragm and green bamboo next to him, and thought that he was crazy.

Lu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and said comfortingly, "Miss, relax, just take a few hasty glances, and throw away the portrait." The eldest lady is no longer favored and is also the daughter of Ye Mansion, she wants to find a good family, not to be rich and rich, at least she is kind and loving, and she will never leave."

But Ye Ruotang is not stupid, he knows Ye Hecong's intentions, since ancient times, the daughters of official families have been tools to pave the way for official careers, and now they don't agree because these people's net worth is not enough level, but if they meet a level, they can't agree to anything?

Lu Zhu replied on the side: "I don't know what the eldest lady likes?" ”

"What do you like?" Ye Ruotang put his chin on the table, his eyes blinked, and he thought very seriously.

"Don't ask him to be rich and handsome, at least he has to be good-looking and have a six-figure deposit."

"What is Gao Fu Shuai? What is a deposit? Midori was puzzled.

"This rich and handsome man is tall, good-looking, and rich. The deposit is the silver in his purse."

With such an explanation, the two maids understood.

"You can find it according to the appearance and family background of the eldest lady"

Ye Ruotang suddenly thought of the man who saved him a few days ago, he looked good and had good martial arts, which was a good choice.

It is.......... I don't know what his name is, where he lives, whether he is married or not. I should have asked at that time, Ye Ruotang was a little annoyed when he thought about it.

Sloppy!!

The butler's voice sounded outside the door, "Miss"

"Butler? What are you doing here? ”

"The lord asks the eldest lady to come over, and I have something to explain"

"Did Father say anything?" Ye Ruotang felt a little surprised.

"I didn't say it, the eldest lady should hurry up, the master is already waiting in the study"

"Good"

Ye Ruotang obediently followed behind the housekeeper, who was about the same height as Ye Ruotang, but his steps were huge, and sometimes he had to trot to keep up.

Ye Hecong's study sits north and faces south, the lighting is excellent, as soon as he enters the door, he sees that both sides are neatly filled with books, and then he sees a sandalwood table, and Ye He sits in front of the table from the front.

On the right sit Li and Ye Zhinan.

Ye Ruotang saw a slight chin "Father, second aunt"

Ye Zhinan glanced at her and called out "big sister" extremely reluctantly

Ye Ruotang looked at her and smiled, then turned to look at Ye Hecong, "I don't know what my father called me to do?" ”

"Sit down"

Ye Ruotang sat down next to Ye Zhinan.

"In a few days is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the emperor has specially approved that you can bring your family members with you from official positions above the ninth grade."

When Li and Ye Zhinan heard this, their joy was beyond words.

You must know that in the past, only people at the level of the prime minister and the captain were eligible to participate, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only to see the son of a famous family, but also to see the prince and even the emperor, if you are favored by one of them, it is a blessing for a lifetime.

"I called you here today to warn you not to go wrong that day, to offend anyone, this palace is no better than the family, if you say a wrong word, you may lose your head, be cautious in your words and deeds."

"Yes," the three of them said in unison.

"You guys go back first, Ruotang stays"

Ye Zhinan glanced at it, didn't say anything, and went out with the Li family.

Ye He glanced at the girl and coughed lightly, "Ruotang, you will be in time for two months, this time you will enter the palace to see if there is a man you like."

"Father......." Ye Ruotang lowered his head, "My daughter has lost her mother since she was a child, and now she wants to serve more in front of her father when she grows up, so as to fulfill her filial piety"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Ye Hecong's expression changed slightly.

"I know that my father has always disliked me because of my mother's affairs, but I am your daughter, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and I just got married, and I am really ashamed of my father's nurturing grace" Ye Ruotang looked at Ye Hecong with fixed eyes, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

Ye He looked at the daughter in front of him, not only was her appearance somewhat similar to her mother, but this character also followed her mother, did she do something wrong?

Sighing softly, he took out a purse, "There are some scattered silver in here, take it and buy two clothes."

Ye Ruotang didn't answer, "Thank you father, if my father doesn't have anything to do, I'll go back first"

Ye He never spoke, and the girl leaned over slightly and went out.

*******

"Mother, why did Daddy take her with him this time?" Ye Zhinan held Li and said very quietly, but it still fell into Ye Ruotang's ears behind him.

"The master has his own arrangement" Li Shi frowned, to be honest, she hadn't figured it out.

"Look at her shabby appearance, I'm afraid she doesn't even have decent clothes," Ye Zhinan covered his mouth and smiled.

Ye Ruotang looked down at herself, the cyan dress, and two flowers were embroidered on the skirt, which was not bad, it was very good-looking.

"Second aunt, sister, is this enjoying the flowers?" Ye Ruotang didn't bother to listen any longer, so he stepped forward to interrupt them.

Ye Zhinan's face changed, like a stealing cat that had been caught, "Big sister, why is it here?" ”

Ye Ruotang looked around, "This time there is only one way in Beiyuan", so he cut it between them, walked a few steps, thought about it, and turned around and said, "You still have to find a hidden place to talk, it's not good if others listen to it."

"Mother, look at her" Ye Zhinan's face was almost green.

"Alright, let's go back"

Seeing that the mother and daughter were deflated, Ye Ruotang smiled happily, and his walking steps were a little more cheerful.

As soon as I arrived in Beiyuan and sat for a while, the housekeeper came.

Midori and Luzhu glanced at each other.

The housekeeper looked at the girl and handed over a purse, "Miss, this is given to you by the master, and it is better to buy two clothes and buy some jewelry"

Ye Ruotang did not shirk this time, "There is a labor housekeeper to run"

The housekeeper bent slightly, "Miss, if you don't have any other instructions, then I'll go first"

"Good"

After the housekeeper left, Lu Yan and Lu Zhu approached the girl and asked curiously.

"Miss, what did the master tell you to do?"

"Two days later is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and my father asked me to go with me"

Green Bamboo's eyes widened, "Really"

"Of course it's true," he said, weighing the purse in his hand, "Didn't you take the money and tell me to buy clothes?" ”

"And when are we going?" The green diaphragm is much calmer.

Seeing that it is almost noon, "Let's go after lunch"

There is a small kitchen in Beiyuan, which is usually cooked by Lu Yan, after all, the food cooked by Lu Zhu is indescribable.

After lunch, Ye Ruotang simply cleaned up and led the two maids out of the door.

Ye Ruotang raised his hands and raised his head high, the air outside was a little fresher.

"Where are we going to buy clothes?" The girl asked.

"I've often heard that Madame and Second Miss love to go to the Golden Pavilion the most," Luzhu replied.

"Then we'll go"

The three of them found a carriage and went straight to the Golden Pavilion.

This wisp of gold pavilion is a well-known cloth village in Nanxun, the official lady loves to order clothes here, not to mention how good-looking, just a lot of this material is not available in ordinary cloth villages.

Let's talk about the shopkeeper of this wisp of the Golden Pavilion, who looks absolutely beautiful, how many men's dream lovers.

The carriage was bumping and up, Ye Ruotang leaned on the side and closed her eyes to recuperate, and just when she was about to fall asleep, Lu Yan patted her, "Miss, it's here"

The Golden Pavilion is in a relatively remote location in the east of the city, and the gate of the mansion is vermilion, and there are three floors.

When you approach the inner hall, you can smell a faint incense, I don't know what kind of fragrance it is, which makes people very comfortable.

A woman walked in front of her, estimated to be thirty years old, wearing a blue emerald smoke skirt, a light veil to cover her face, and a pair of fox eyes to charm nature.

This woman is Han Qingsha, the shopkeeper of the Golden Pavilion.

"Girl, upstairs please"

The three of them followed the woman upstairs.

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Ruotang was a little dazzled by the rows of clothes.

"Here's the new arrival"

Ye Ruotang walked around, and at a glance, he fell in love with a lotus lotus-colored mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, with plum blossom petals embroidered on the cuffs and waist, which was very chic.

Han Qingsha seemed to notice Ye Ruotang, "The girl's vision is so good, this dress took my master seven days to make, and this is the only one" said and walked over and measured it, "This size is just right for the girl"

Ye Ruotang was even more pleased when he heard it, "Then I want this"

When she walked around the corner, the girl saw a familiar figure, and then her ears began to hear.

"Why is the big sister here?" It was Ye Zhinan who came, followed by the Li family.

"How dare you be sloppy in attending the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? Let's choose a few decent clothes, so as not to lose the face of Ye Fu," Ye Ruotang said softly.

Ye Zhinan glanced at her disdainfully, and when he turned his head, he saw the clothes in Han Qingsha's hand, "This dress is unique, I want it"

Han Qingsha smiled faintly, "Second Miss, let's take a look at the others, this dress has already been asked for by this girl."

Ye Zhinan turned his head to look at the girl behind him.

"Second sister, let's find something else," he said, and walked to the other side to continue looking at the clothes.

Ye Zhinan stomped his feet and looked at the Li family behind him, "Mother, look"

"Okay, since Ruotang has taken a fancy to it, you are looking at the others, there are so many beautiful ones here, and it is not bad."

The Li family pulled Ye Zhinan elsewhere, this is outside, not Ye Mansion, if others see the joke, it will not be good.

"But is there anything more special?" Li Shi looked at Han Qingsha and asked.

Han Qingsha looked around and took out a light purple Luo skirt, "Second Miss has a lively and cheerful personality, you can try this"

Ye Zhinan took the clothes and looked at them, but they were not bad, "Then I'll try it first"

Ye Ruotang looked at it again, Li suddenly remembered something, picked up a red brocade dress and walked over, "Ruotang, this one is very good for your complexion"

Ye Ruotang took it and looked at it, "This color is too bright"

"Where, this time to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you should wear more festive"

Ye Ruotang thought about it, so he took the clothes and tried them on.

Later, Ye Ruotang bought some good-looking jewelry and two clothes, said goodbye to the Li family, and led the maid away.
