Chapter 25: Running Away from Marriage
"You went back to Beijing this time and got married?" Lingxi's gaze became fierce, and the aura emanating from his body was not angry but threatening, "It's only been a month? β
Li Lingyi picked up the teacup and took another sip, shaking his head vaguely.
Seeing this, Lingxi sat up straight and raised his voice and hummed.
Li Lingyi looked up at Lingxi, a trace of timidity rose in his heart, and after putting down the teacup, he said, "Mother, I told you not to be angry. I...... Escaped ......"
"You're messing around!" Lingxi slapped the table and stood up, his apricot eyes round.
Li Lingyi is a prince, and it is a trivial matter for a prince to get married? In addition, the daughter of that family is also a well-known Dong family in the capital, and the men in his clan have been officials in the court for generations, and they are all important ministers.
Li Lingyi's escape from marriage involves too many causes and effects. Even if he doesn't want to get married, he can't be so reckless.
Li Lingyi was so frightened that he put down the teacup in his hand and suddenly pointed at Ye Tingfeng and shouted with a panicked expression, "Fifth sister, fifth sister, what's wrong with you." β
Ye Tingfeng hurriedly put his fair-skinned right hand on his lower abdomen, frowned, looked at Lingxi and shouted, "Mother, mother......"
Lingxi hurriedly collected his anger and went to see Ye Tingfeng, stroked Ye Tingfeng's lower abdomen and asked, "Feng'er, but your stomach is uncomfortable?" Legend of the Witch Prince......"
Li Lingyi on one side had already escaped like the wind.
Putting his hand off Ye Tingfeng's stomach, Lingxi sighed, nodded Ye Tingfeng's white forehead, and whispered, "You have protected him since you were a child, and look at what you are used to him in." β
Ye Tingfeng sat up straight in the soft chair, with a hint of apology on his face. She took Lingxi's hand and let Lingxi sit on one side, and said softly, "Mother, Feng'er is wrong." Feng'er won't help Yi'er anymore......"
"When I grow up, my mother can't take care of it." After Lingxi sat down, he sighed and said, "As a king, you must think carefully about the overall situation. You can't just look out for your own self-interest......"
"Mother, the fifth brother's relatives, which family's daughter is it?" Listening to Feng at night when he saw Lingxi sighing, he knew that the other party must be not small.
"Dong family." Lingxi lightly opened his lips and spit out two words.
Ye Tingfeng nodded slightly, understanding why Lingxi was worried.
Li Lingyi ran away, leaving Emperor Yongning with an intractable problem.
embarrassed the king of a country, even if Li Lingyi was the younger brother of Emperor Yongning, he was afraid that he would not be able to get good fruit to eat in the end.
Lingxi raised his eyebrows when he heard the night Feng, stretched out his hand and stroked it, and said with a smile, "Okay, these things are not something you should worry about, you just take care of your body and give birth to the child in your womb." β
Seeing a smile on Lingxi's face, Lotus Ye took the letter that Lingxi had placed on the table and handed it over.
Lingxi's expression paused slightly after receiving the letter.
Ye Ting Feng stretched out his hand to Wen Qing, stood up holding his stomach, and smiled at Lingxi, "Mother, Feng'er is tired, go back and sleep for a while." β
Lingxi raised her eyes, and Ying Ying smiled, "Go back." He turned back to Lotus Ye and said, "I said to the maids, after inviting Wu Gongzi, I directly asked him to go to the fifth lady's Luoxixuan." β
Ye Tingfeng took Wen Qing's hand out of the main hall, and when he looked back, he saw Lingxi looking down at the letter and was still slightly stunned. The long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the eyes, making it difficult to see the expression.
Yingxue Pavilion is not far from Luoxixuan, cross the stone bridge, and then walk around the small garden for a quarter of an hour.
Due to the hot afternoon sun, Ye Tingfeng walked halfway and went up to the pavilion in the small garden with the help of Wen Qing.
After sitting down, he wiped the fragrant sweat on his neck, and Ye Tingfeng took a long breath and gently beat his soreness calf with his right hand.
Wen Qing squatted down and rubbed Ye Tingfeng's calves with his hands.
Breathed in the scent of grass in his mouth and nose, and listened to the maple looking into the garden at night.
In the distance, I saw Wu Fengtian, who was wearing a moon-white robe, hurrying towards the stone bridge.
Because of the hurry, the long hair hanging down from the temples was slightly raised back. The folding fan in his hand was half-closed, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist swayed from side to side as he walked, shining.
Behind Wu Fengtian, there was also Xie Ruyu, who was dressed in light blue clothes.
Dashun's clothes are much more conservative than those of Dayue, with long sleeves and wide skirts reaching the floor. Therefore, Xie Ruyu lifted the skirt with two hands when she walked, revealing a bright green embroidered shoe embroidered with apricot blossoms, and strode forward.
Dashun women also carry the skirt when they walk, but they all bow their heads slightly, lift an inch of skirt with one hand, embroidered shoes are hidden or visible, stepping on small broken steps, and their posture is very enchanting and weak.
Xie Ruyu's posture is a little less enchanting and a little more casual.
Ye Tingfeng smiled with crooked eyes, and felt that it was a blessing that this daughter of Jiangmen did not enter the Great Moon Harem, otherwise with her character, it would be a trouble for others and herself.
Wu Fengtian was stopped by a little maid when he was on the stone bridge, and after hearing that Ye Feng had returned to Luoxixuan, he turned around and went to Luoxixuan.
Xie Ruyu followed behind Wu Fengtian, with a hint of complaint in her tone, "Brother Wu, can you slow down?" If Madame really had something, she wouldn't have returned to Luoxixuan from Yingxue Pavilion......"
Wu Fengtian's mind suddenly cleared up, and he felt that what Xie Ruyu said was reasonable. Looking up, I saw that Ye Tingfeng was sitting on the gazebo not far away and beckoning to him, with a smile on his face, without the slightest discomfort.
Xie Ruyu saw Ye Tingfeng, jumped to the front, two strode up to the pavilion, walked in front of Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "Madam, madam, look at this ......"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and unfolded it, on which was his name written in Dashun characters.
Ye Tingfeng looked at Wu Fengtian and chuckled, pointed to the stone bench opposite him, and motioned for Wu Fengtian to sit down and speak, while he picked up the words written by Xie Ruyu and looked at them carefully.
There are only three words, but they are written very seriously. After returning the paper to Xie Ruyu, Ye Tingfeng smiled and said, "Ruyu, it's much stronger than the day before yesterday." β
Xie Ruyu showed a smug expression, sat down and said with a smile, "I practiced for a day yesterday. β
Wu Fengtian pulled Ye Tingfeng's left hand over and put the three fingers of his right hand on it.
"I'm fine, it's just, pretending to be my mother." Ye Tingfeng explained with a smile.
"Mrs. Ye loves you so much, you still have to pretend to be sick to scare her......" Wu Fengtian's finger was not taken off, and there was a rare hint of blame in his tone.
"My brother is in trouble, just help him." Seeing Wu Fengtian take his hand down with an indifferent face, Ye Ting Feng knew that his body must be fine, and asked with a smile, "Wu Fengtian, is the child in my womb a boy or a girl?" β
"I'm not in the palace, what are you asking for?" Wu Fengtian confirmed that Ye Tingfeng's body was fine, put down the worry in his heart, and opened the folding fan with a snap and shook it gently.
Xie Ruyu swept to Wu Fengtian and listened to Feng's words in a complacent manner, raised his head and said, "If it is a prince, wouldn't it be a prince!" ββ
On the way to escape at night, Queen Qin had a difficult birth, both mother and son died, and the news of Yun Ronghua giving birth to a princess was already spreading.
At this time, there were no pregnant concubines in the Dayue harem, and the Dayue royal family has always had the custom of making the eldest son the crown prince. I heard that Feng went to the identity of the princess of Heqin, and if she was pregnant with a prince, it was not the prince of Dayue.
When he saw that Ye Ting Fengliu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the folding fan in Wu Fengtian's hand stopped, Xie Ruyu knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his words, "Madame is Princess Dashun, even if she gives birth to a prince, she will not be a prince." β
Biting her tongue, Xie Ruyu smiled, said, 'I'm going back to practice calligraphy', turned around and ran away.
"Ruyu's heart is straightforward and fast-talking, it's not intentional." Wu Fengtian put the folding fan to the side, picked up the teapot and teacup brought by the little maid, and poured a cup of tea for Ye Tingfeng.
"Ruyu's personality is straightforward and very naΓ―ve." Ye Tingfeng chuckled, "I won't go to my heart." Besides......" Ye Tingfeng paused slightly, and then said, "This is my child, it has nothing to do with him, I didn't think about going back to Dayue." β
Wu Fengtian looked at Ye Tingfeng and nodded slightly, looked at the manor with pleasant scenery in front of him, and smiled at Ye Tingfeng, "This place is very good, it is a good place to live for a long time." β
As soon as Kaede wanted to reply, he heard a commotion from the depths of the garden.
Wu Fengtian looked sideways. Ye Tingfeng said to the little maid guarding on the side, "Go over and see, what's going on." β
Before the little maid walked down the pavilion, Xie Ruyu had already run back from a distance, with a pair of white little hands covering her delicate face.
Wu Fengtian stood up and asked Xie Ruyu softly on the pavilion, "Ruyu, what happened?" β
Xie Ruyu took her hand off her face, her face was already red, she looked at Wu Fengtian and Ye Tingfeng on the pavilion, and after biting her lip, she replied, "No, nothing happened." β
Wu Fengtian raised his eyebrows and didn't believe a word of Xie Ruyu's words.
"Me, I saw bugs." Xie Ruyu glanced behind her, as if someone was chasing her, and hurriedly walked towards the back of the pavilion, and said vaguely, "I, I'm going back......"
Ye Tingfeng turned his eyes lightly and saw a water stain on the back of Xie Ruyu's skirt. Xie Ruyu left before the moment, and her clothes were still clean.
Waving his hand at the litmus who was about to leave behind Xie Ruyu, Ye Tingfeng asked, "Litmus, what happened?" β
Shi Rui said very plainly, "I met the prince." β
Wang Ye, referring to Li Lingyi naturally.
As soon as Shi Rui's words fell, Li Lingyi was already walking towards the garden.
Seeing Li Lingyi's eyes looking around, as if he was looking for something, he heard Feng raise his voice and shout, "Yi'er." β
Li Lingyi's eyes were on Ye Tingfeng, and a very hearty smile appeared on his face. He strode up to the gazebo, sat down and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Fifth sister, can you not call me 'Yi'er'?" Like my mother, it's like I haven't grown up yet. β
"Okay, don't scream." Ye Tingfeng picked up a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on Li Lingyi's forehead, and saw that the two sleeves of Li Lingyi's dark blue robe were soaked, so he asked, "Yi'er, why are your clothes wet?" β
Wu Fengtian couldn't help but laugh, and picked up the teacup and drank it lightly.
Li Lingyi let out a long sigh, picked up the teapot and poured tea, and was helpless to hear Feng call him 'Yi'er' at night, "The jade pendant fell into the clay jar in the garden, and reached out to take it out......"
Ye Tingfeng didn't ask how Yu Pei fell into a half-human-high clay jar, but just pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled.
On the tenth day of September in the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning was already waiting in the Qingxin Hall when Emperor Jianning went to court.
It's none other than Emperor Jianning, who has been following Emperor Jianning, and now he has achieved the virtue of the leader of the Imperial Forest Army.
After sending all the palace people in the palace back, Emperor Jianning said to Zhan De, "Let's talk about it, what's going on." β
Zhande lowered his head and said to Emperor Jianning, "If you go back to the emperor, after three months of searching, it can be determined that Mrs. Zhaoyue is Lord Tongwu, and Miss Xie has already crossed the border of Dashun......"
After taking a few portraits out of his bosom and placing them on the bookcase, Zhande continued, "At the beginning of the town, they were seen staying there for more than ten days and then crossing the border with a caravan selling cloth. The caravan had been found, and the steward of the caravan said that there had been a young couple three months earlier......"
Emperor Jianning coughed lightly with an unkind face.
Zhan De was shocked, and immediately changed his words, saying, "Damn it, the caravan people said that there was indeed such a group of people who went to Dashun in their caravan a few months ago, and the young lady was still pregnant. β
Emperor Jianning hummed and motioned for Zhande to continue.
Zhande said, "Your Majesty, among the people brought by the humble position, there is no one who is proficient in the Dashun language. So ......"
"So the trail is broken?" Emperor Jianning asked in a cold voice.
Zhande knelt down on one knee, his face showing trepidation.
Emperor Jianning sat for a long time with a gloomy face, and after a long sigh, he said to Zhan De, "You go down." β
After Zhande stepped back, Emperor Jianning stood up and unfolded the scroll on the side of the bookcase.
On the picture scroll, I heard the maple willow eyebrows raised slightly, the water eyes were round, and the corners of the mouth were raised, as if she was delicate and angry.
Half a year ago, at the same time that Empress Qin and Madame Yu died one after another, a small incident happened in the capital.
It's not big, because it's not big enough to be a national mourner.
It's not small, because it happened in General Xie's mansion.
Xie Ruyu, the eldest lady of the Xie family, is missing.
Xie Yuanxing was far away at the border to quell the chaos, and Xie Yuanxing's eldest son Xie Donghua was in chaos. This daughter may not be his favorite, but Xie Yuanxing's favorite.
After the national funeral, Xie Donghua, who still did not find any news of Xie Ruyu, asked Emperor Jianning for help and asked him to mobilize the yamen of various state capitals in order to find Xie Ruyu.
Xie Yuanxing was working for the country on the battlefield, and Emperor Jianning would not disagree with such requests.
So under careful investigation, Emperor Jianning found the figure of Wu Fengtian, who had disappeared for more than three months, and at the same time, there was also the ...... of Ye Tingfeng
The second time, this is the second time that Ye Ting Kaede has disappeared in front of his eyes, in the form of fake death.
The first time, he didn't believe it, so he sent Wu Fengtian to search outside for three years.
And this time, Ye Tingfeng left him with a charred corpse, which made him completely dead.
Joyful and angry, Emperor Jianning could no longer see clearly what the relationship between Ye Tingfeng and the Wu family was. How did Ye Tingfeng escape from the palace, and why did Wu Fengtian help Ye Tingfeng escape from the capital and go to Dashun.
Wu Yang has not appeared since he left the palace in March to cure his Gu poison......
It seems that everyone in the Wu family has something to do with Ye Tingfeng, the woman who is wholeheartedly devoted to giving her the whole world.
Closing the scroll, Emperor Jianning took a deep breath and sat down, called Lu Shi in, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Zhande, no matter the cost, chase!" β
After Lu Zhi went down, Emperor Jianning calmed down his irritable mood and picked up the fold to look through.
A few days ago, Liu Wenming was already the upper fold of proposing to abolish the ancestral system of the death of the son and the mother.
Liu Wenming was righteous and awe-inspiring, saying that the country could not be without a queen for a day, let alone without a prince for a day. For the sake of the great moon for thousands of generations, in order to complete the bloodline of the royal family, the ancestral system of the death of the son and the noble mother must be abolished.
Today's twists and turns have unified the caliber. The An family, the Wen family, and the Qin family all agreed.
Only the Xie family, and the Lu family has not yet expressed their position.
On September 20 of the fourth year of Jianning, Xie Yuanxing handed back the fold from the border pass and seconded the proposal.
On September 22 of the fourth year of Jianning, Lu Boyun folded his son and seconded the proposal.
On the second day of October in the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning officially decreed the abolition of the ancestral system of the death of the son and the mother. The crown prince will be raised in the queen's palace.
As soon as this decree was made, several high-ranking concubines in the harem all set their eyes on their lower abdomen.
There is no queen in the middle palace, and they are only away from the back seat, only to give birth to the prince.
In the blink of an eye, the days have entered October, and Ye Tingfeng is nearly nine months pregnant, and there is a possibility of giving birth at any time.
Lingxi had ordered someone to find an experienced midwife in Bian Zhou City two months ago, and she was waiting in the Ye Mansion at any time to obey her orders.
On the fifth day of the 11th month of the fourth year of Yongning, a wide and gorgeous carriage, escorted by dozens of guards in tight suits, stopped outside the gate of Yefu.
Xiao Wuzi's eyes lit up, and he ordered the people to open the door of the mansion, and sang happily, "Welcome the princess back to the house!" β
On the other side of the stone bridge, Lingxi was already waiting there, just waiting for the figure that had disappeared for a year to appear in front of him.
In the distance, Yin Ziyanhong came slowly, and a pair of girls who looked exactly the same walked in front and ran over first.
Tang Ruoxi and Tang Ruoyi came to Lingxi one after another, and asked An Dao with a smile,
"Ruoxi greets Madame."
"Ruoyi greets Madame."
"The princess was very stable along the way, and she didn't do anything out of the ordinary."
"Is jumping into the lake considered out of ...... bad?"
"Beware of the princess punishing you."
"That's not out of line." Tang Ruoyi smiled at Lingxi and said, "Madam, the princess didn't do anything out of the ordinary except for jumping into the lake halfway to the lake. β
Lingxi was shocked when she heard this, and looked at the pair of twin sisters in front of her and her eyes widened, "Your princess is not carrying her body, why is she jumping into the lake?" β
"The princess likes it, but the prince can't stop it." Tang Ruoyi shrugged.
"The princess also pulled the prince to dance ...... together" Tang Ruoxi raised his eyebrows, and his words were quite complaining.
Lingxi lowered his gaze to the smiling figure on the stone bridge, raised his apricot eyes, and shouted, "Allure!" You're so foolish! ββ
The person who returned to the mansion was none other than Yeting Feng's aunt, Princess Allure, and Princess Allure's husband, King Rong Leng Tuo of the Snow Country.
Leng Tuo was a proton sent to Dashun by the Snow Country as early as the Yonghe period, and he stayed in Dashun for a full ten years, and finally hugged the beauty of the city and returned to China to be crowned king.
King Rong took Princess Allure to Jiangnan this time because Princess Allure was pregnant with their second child in her womb, and it had been more than six months.
King Rong loves his wife, and he can't bear to let the cold-scared princess give birth in the snow in the snow, so after learning that she is pregnant, he moved his family to the mild climate of Jiangnan.
Li Qingyan and Li Linghan are the eldest daughters of Princess Rong and Chengcheng who have not seen King Rong for a year, so they both set their eyes on the little county lord who was only six years old.
Because of the insistence of the princess of Allure, the name of the little county lord is Bingbing, and his full name is Leng Bingbing.
