Yan Qingyi came to her mother's yard and was surprised to find that her father, the king of Bei'an County, was also there.

"The daughter has seen her father and mother."

The princess of Bei'an County beckoned with a smile: "Yi'er, come over and let my mother take a look." ”

"Mother, don't you look at this every day? What's so nice. ”

Yan Qingyi raised her mouth and coquettishly, but she still walked over obediently. Recently, because of the third brother's affairs, I haven't seen my mother and father for a long time, so happy faces.

The king of Bei'an County was also happy, and said anxiously: "Yi'er, tell your father quickly, is the second young master of the Guanwen Hou Mansion acquaintance with you?" How did you meet? ”

"Father!"

Yan Qingyi was embarrassed, covered her face and hid behind her mother.

The princess of the county smiled, glanced at the king of Bei'an, and said with a smile: "The princess of the county should go and do things first, and I will talk to Yi'er." ”

"Okay, you mother and daughter have a good talk, there are still some things in the front yard, I'll deal with it first."

After the king of Bei'an left, the princess of the county waved away, and the mother and daughter whispered.

"Yi'er, there are no outsiders now, you have to tell the truth to your mother. This is a matter of happiness for your whole life, but you must be cautious. ”

Yan Qingyi sat on the chair reclining, her hands unconsciously wrapped around her handkerchief, her head down and she didn't speak.

The princess of the county was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Yi'er, so far, are you still thinking about Xiao Yao?" ”

Yan Qingyi raised her head sharply and hurriedly denied, "No." ”

"Then you tell your mother, are you willing to marry the second young master of the Gu family? Gu Shinian is good, young and promising, and he is still a civilian official who does not need to go to the battlefield. The family is also the home of a famous family, and all of them are people who are admired by scholars all over the world. ”

When the princess first got the news, she was almost overjoyed, she really didn't expect such a big piece of pie to fall on her head.

was previously the king of Bei'an County, and wanted to push Yan Qingyi to the fifth prince or the sixth prince. The princess of the county has already quarreled with the king of Bei'an County.

But for the sake of her youngest son, she also thought about it, but she could only sacrifice her youngest daughter's lifelong happiness.

But now there is no need to sacrifice at all, as long as the daughter can get close to the Gu family, it is to be close to the lord of Mingzhu County and the Zhong family.

For the fifth prince and the sixth prince, the younger son is just a piece of cake!

Yan Qingyi's eyes dodged, and she said a little twisted: "Mother, these are just hearsay, and people don't necessarily have that kind of idea." ”

"You stupid! Today, the sixth prince came to tell your father in person, and the county lord also specially asked someone to pass on the news to me, revealing that he wanted to get married. ”

As soon as she said it, the princess of Bei'an County was overjoyed, and she didn't expect her daughter to have such a good marriage.

Yan Qingyi was not so optimistic, and said in a low voice: "Mother, today's Mingzhu County Lord said that the second son Gu has written to the family to inquire, and I am afraid that their family will not agree." ”

"My son can't help it, then Gu Shinian is almost twenty, will their family be in a hurry?"

The princess of Bei'an County still has a deep understanding of this kind of feeling of having an older son in the family. If his son hadn't married at the age of twenty, she would have died in a hurry.

"Mother. The prince of the Guanwen Marquis Mansion is married to the eldest lady of the Qinguo family. Do you think that we are girls in the poor countryside, not as good as the girls in the capital, all of them are good at dancing with long sleeves, and will you think that I can't be on the stage? ”

Yan Qingyi recently heard Gu Fanghua talk about a lot of things in the capital, and she was actually a little worried.

The princess of Bei'an County persuaded: "The Guanwen Marquis Mansion has always been not confined to the world, otherwise the prince would not have married the daughter of the military general's family." If you pass through the door, you are a little daughter-in-law. What does it matter if you don't have to stand up for the portal? ”

Yan Qingyi still felt that it was inappropriate, and said in a low voice: "Mother, forget it, don't have too much hope, I'm afraid." ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Mother, I liked Xiao Yao before, and everyone in Liaodong knew about it, and everyone knew about it. I don't believe you Pearl County Lord, they haven't heard of it. Now that the county lord of Mingzhu and Xiao Yao are a match, my existence is always embarrassing, and if it is known by the Guanwen Marquis Mansion, it will also be a hidden danger. ”

Yan Qingyi is only a little regretful now, she shouldn't have been so high-profile before.

As a result, once you can't marry Xiao Yao now, no matter that in-law, if you know about it, you will have a grudge.

The princess of Bei'an County was also worried when she heard this, and whispered: "The Guanwen Marquis Mansion is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, and it was when you were young and careless, you were innocent between you, shouldn't you?" ”

"People are terrible, and besides, Gu Ergongzi will return to Beijing after the New Year, mother, I don't want to be separated from you."

When the princess of Bei'an County thought that her daughter might marry far away, she also had red eyes.

After a long silence, he said: "Yi'er, after this battle, Shanhaiguan has killed and injured more than 100,000 people, and I really can't find someone who is as compatible with you." and your third brother, who is still in prison, if you can't marry Gu Shinian, you can only be the fifth prince, or the sixth prince's side concubine. ”

Yan Qingyi bit her lip, and tears fell down one by one.

"Mother, I said that even if I die, I will not be a concubine. Even if it is the prince's side concubine, it is also a concubine! ”

The princess of Bei'an County also wept and said: "Yi'er, you are digging my heart!" How can I be willing to let you be a concubine, there is really no way. Your father has begged people again and again, and is willing to exchange military merits for your third brother, but the sixth prince does not agree, and it is impossible for General Zhong to agree. ”

"Mother, the third brother escaped from the battle, what do you care about me? Why do you want me to be a concubine in exchange? ”

The more Yan Qingyi spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help but lie on the table and cry. The miserable cry frightened the princess of Bei'an County.

"Yi'er, didn't your father speak? Last time it was just a statement. ”

Yan Qingyi twisted her waist, covered her face and said, "What do you say?" If the sixth prince hadn't refused, my father would have wanted to send me to the door. The six princes are now far away from the capital, and without the emperor's consent, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to mix up a side concubine, so it's better to die. ”

This was said sadly, and many grievances in Yan Qingyi's heart came to her heart, and she cried breathlessly.

The princess of Bei'an County was also frightened, and hurriedly hugged Yan Qingyi, and after being comforted, Yan Qingyi slowly stopped crying. But there were still sobs, sometimes intermittently.

Since Xiao Yao returned to Liaodong this time, Yan Qingyi has been ashamed of herself since she saw Gu Fanghua with her own eyes.

All the young ladies in Liaodong, she felt that she was not afraid, and she had a chance of winning. But compared with the Lord of Mingzhu, she has no chance of winning.

Although she is not familiar with Xiao Yao, it is just because of a favorite obsession, but after so many years of dreams, once the dream is broken, it is false to say that she is not sad.

When she was at her lowest, she met Gu Shinian several times.

He is handsome and does not lose to Xiao Yao, but also has more fairy temperament, and he is bookish, which is even better than Xiao Yao. Yan Qingyi's heart was pounding, but she didn't dare to continue.
