Zhudong Palace.

Yan Tingzhen came out of the room and went around the backyard to the ancestral hall.

Yesterday there was a north wind blowing overnight, and it was very chilly to wake up early in the morning.

There was a basket hidden in the silver rat's cloak, and Yan Tingzhen carefully carried it so that no one could see it.

Starling Yan Yuntang has been punished for kneeling inside for three days, and he is not allowed to eat.

She came secretly to deliver food.

After she came back from the Wei family that day, she told the starling what Wei Yining meant, and the starling also felt reasonable, so she went to ask her uncle and aunt first.

The uncle and aunt naturally didn't agree when they heard this, not because Wei Lanshan was not good, but because Yan Yuntang currently had no merit in his body, which violated the Yan family's rule that he could only be married after obtaining fame.

Second, the Li family has already proposed to the Wei family at this time, and if the Yan family intervenes again, it will obviously make each other unhappy.

Yan Lingfeng and his wife could not only consider their son's wishes, they paid more attention to the interests of the entire family.

However, Yan Yuntang was a tendon, and he made up his mind to marry Wei Lanshan, but he was afraid that he would be preempted by the Li family, so he ran to Princess Xu and the prince.

Naturally, these two disagreed, especially Princess Xu.

In the end, Yan Yuntang was punished, and the Yan family refused to propose.

Now that Yan Kentang is not at home, he took Yan Qingtang to Jinling Academy for a study tour, and he will not come back until the end of the year.

The matter of delivering food to Yan Yuntang can only be done by Yan Tingzhen.

"Starling, I've taken all the people outside," Yan Tingzhen whispered, "You eat while it's hot." ”

The reddish three-layer food box was small and compact, and it was stuffed with a lot of food, and Yan Tingzhen was afraid that he would not be able to eat enough.

I know that the amount of starling's food has always been not small.

Yan Yuntang glanced at her gratefully and said, "You don't have to bring so much, I can't eat it." ”

"Don't worry, you'll be able to eat it all today." Yan Tingzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "I have a good ...... Ah no, there's something for you. ”

Yan Tingzhen originally wanted to say good news, but then she didn't say that it seemed to be inappropriate when she thought about it.

"What's the matter?" Yan Yuntang didn't eat first, and waited for Yan Tingzhen to tell him.

Yan Tingzhen knew that he had been thinking about Wei Lanshan in his heart, so he said, "Sister Lanshan and the Li family's family affair has not been completed. ”

"Really?!" Yan Yuntang immediately perked up, as if he had been lost and regained: "You didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"When did I lie?" Yan Tingzhen's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a small tiger tooth: "I only heard about it in the morning." ”

It's not that she's gloating, she's really happy for Starling.

The son of the Li family may also be a very good person, but she still hopes that Sister Lan Shan can be with Starling.

"Why not?" Yan Yuntang asked vaguely while picking up rice in his mouth, he was really hungry.

He has been really sad in the past few days, and he can't eat the food sent by his ninth sister.

He didn't blame the elders for being ruthless, he only hated himself for being incompetent, if he had a reputation at this time, he could also propose to Wei Lanshan openly like the son of the Li family.

Now that I heard that the Li family's family affair was not successful, I was fortunate and inevitably curious: "Why didn't it happen?" ”

"I can't say this well," Yan Tingzhen shook her head and said, "I just heard that the saint gave marriage to the fourth son of the Li family, referring to the eldest lady of the Tang family." ”

"Which Tang family?" Yan Yuntang couldn't think of it for a while.

"It's Lord Yanzhou Thorn Shi Tang," Yan Tingzhen said, "The two of them are not in Beijing, and they will be married if they don't know how to be good." ”

This matter is indeed a bit strange, except for the family to ask, the saint generally does not give marriage to the children of the minister's family.

"Then the Li family agreed?" Yan Yuntang asked.

"Naturally, I agreed," Yan Tingzhen said: "First, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and secondly, the relationship between his family and Sister Lan Shan is still under discussion, and it has not been decided." ”

Since there is no fixed standard, it does not count, and the emperor's decree has been issued, and the Li family and the Wei family tacitly broke off the past.

As for why the emperor suddenly gave the marriage, the outside world is not clear, but there are several rumors, but they can't help but scrutinize carefully.

Presumably, only a few people know the inside story.

Yan Yuntang didn't care about the reason, he was so satisfied with the result that he didn't want to investigate the reason at all.

He is like this, but the people of the Wei family are not.

Wei Lanshan didn't do anything, she was as calm as before, and she couldn't see happiness or displeasure.

It's like everything follows fate, not fighting or grabbing.

But the old princess and Wei Lanpei had to find out what was going on.

This can't be blamed for their carelessness, it's really that the daughters of the Wei family are always unhappy.

It's just one or two times, after all, there are hundreds of women in a family, and they will never mention one door into another.

But if it doesn't work every time, it's a problem, right?

The daughters of the Wei family are not numb or blind, they are all beautiful and noble, not to mention that the boudoir is extremely strict, and there has never been anything bad about it.

Why can't you marry a single one now?

Wei Lanpei poured tea for the old princess while comforting him gently: "Mother, don't worry, I have already asked someone to go into the palace to inquire, and I think there will be results later." ”

The old princess was angry and anxious, coughed a few times and said: "If I can't go out now, I have to go into the palace in person to ask, can it be possible to bully our orphans and widows?!" What is inferior to my Wei daughter? To be cheapened again and again! ”

As he was talking, Wei Lanzhu and Wei Lanqi also walked in, knowing that the old princess was angry, and hurriedly came over to comfort her.

"The second sister went to the kitchen to tell her about lunch," Wei Laner said, "Mother don't worry about her, the second sister said that she didn't put this matter at ease." ”

"If it's just inappropriate, forget it, but what has become now?!" The old princess was upset: "Is this a marriage robbery?" The saint doesn't know that the Li family is talking to us, and others don't know either?! In my opinion, there is a ghost behind it! ”

The daughters easily calmed the old princess's anger for a while, and the person sent to inquire came back.

said: "The slave asked Lord Cheng Gua, the leader of the Heavenly Grace Palace, and he said that the marriage between the Li family and the Tang family was to respect the prince and ask for the emperor's grace." ”

"What?!" The people of the Wei family were all stunned.

"When did Lord Jing ask about these things?" The old princess only felt a headache: "His old man has never asked about mundane things!" ”

"This minion doesn't know," said the subordinate who went to inquire about the matter, "Cheng Guanling doesn't know either." ”

"Alright, you go down!" The old princess waved her hand weakly: "I know." ”

This king is different from others, he is the brother of the former emperor, and the uncle of the current saint.

Originally, he could be appointed as a prince, but King Jing was bent on cultivating and didn't care about the throne, so he was succeeded by his younger brother.

Because of this, the emperor treated him with special courtesy, and it is even more so today.

King Duan does not participate in court politics on weekdays, but whenever he asks for something, the saint agrees.

Now that it is his proposition, it is impossible for the Wei family to come to him for a theory.

First, he could not see King Jing at all, and he did not make friends with the laity.

Second, the emperor will definitely be blamed for disturbing King Jing Qingxiu.

I am afraid that there is no one who dares to provoke him in the whole world.
