After some questioning, Ye Congwei was allowed to return to Anhe Courtyard to rest.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shuo took his four treasures of the study and brought his homework, and he was already waiting for her.

Hearing the movement from Si Mei in the courtyard, he quickly greeted him: "Fifth sister is back?" ”

"Brother Shuo?" Ye Congwei smiled when she saw him: "What, are you worried about me?" ”

Ye Shuo puffed out his cheeks and said, "Ouchi Harem, idlers don't dare to take a second look, can I not worry?" ”

"You're honest this time, aren't you shy?" Ye Congwei reached out and wanted to pinch his tender face, but he dodged it first.

Ye Shuo was on guard and refused to give her a hand, and said, "Fifth sister, you have to say kiss, it's a big girl!" ”

"So what?" Ye Congwei asked knowingly.

Ye Shuo coughed lightly, and his tone was serious: "Men and women are on guard, even their own sisters and brothers should pay attention." ”

Ye Congwei looked him up and down, shook his head and sighed, and said, "I don't know if it's right to persuade you to study more......

After speaking, without waiting for him to react, he entered the inner room by himself, and Si Mei came in to wipe her face.

Silan took out the clothes that Ye Congwei wore every day, changed them for her, and took out some hairpins.

Ye Shuo chased after him and said, "It's naturally right to read more." ”

"Brother Shuo knows how to make progress, and he will definitely have a lot of success in the future." Si Mei interjected with a smile.

Si Lan asked, "The girl entered the palace this time, nothing bad happened, right?" ”

"What can happen?" Ye Congwei shook his head and said, "The queen mother is invited, everyone is cautious and polite, eats, drinks tea and appreciates the flowers, and then lets people come back." ”

"That's good!" Silan breathed a sigh of relief.

………

"You and the second sister shouldn't have go......" Ye Shuo stopped talking, frowning.

The people in the second room didn't know about the racecourse, and Ye Congwei didn't plan to say it, and said, "I've gone to everything, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

No one knew that she was in fear and torment.

At this time, I predicted the future development trend, and knew that the two princes would not die well, and I couldn't avoid it, how painful it was.

However, he died about once, and while he was anxious and nervous, he was still a little unimpressed.

Isn't it death, I really can't avoid it, I can only face it calmly.

Probably this is resignation? A short life is a short life......

However, even if she has no choice but to follow the second prince, she will do her best to survive.

Ye Shuo touched his chin: "Although I don't know much, I heard that ruthlessness is the most important thing for the emperor's family, and he will lose his head at every turn......

"Can't you just think of me ordering something good?" Ye Congwei teased him in his heart and said: "After entering the royal family, the glory and wealth are endless." ”

"The people inside are complicated, how can our little marquis mansion be so peaceful?" Ye Shuo snorted lightly.

"My brother knows a lot, huh?" Ye Congwei felt strange.

"I'm walking outside, and of course I've heard of it." Ye Shuo puffed up his small chest.

"......" I don't know who this young man is?

Ye Congwei thought of the face of the second master, and he didn't have the wit of Ye Shuo at all.

(In fact, the second lady was afraid that her son would not be angry, and because the eldest son was good at homework and a few years older, she instilled some of the selfishness in the mansion.) )

"There are some things that are overthought and are tantamount to worrying about the sky." Ye Congwei shook his head, turned around and made tea outside.

She said: "We can't help ourselves, we can only try to 'come and be safe'." ”

These words of relief she repeated over and over again in her heart.

As the saying goes, it is up to people to do things, and she has done a lot of actions, and it is not without results.

Away from her aunt's and cousin's family, although she failed to catch up with Tao Chi and provoked the second prince by mistake, at least, she will not follow the old path of her life.

Ye Shuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled at her: "It's good that Fifth Sister can think like this." ”

Ye Shuo didn't stay too long, said goodbye and left, not disturbing Ye Congwei's rest time.

She was left alone, and the dismissed maid lay on the bed in a daze, and fell asleep after a while.

Ye Congwei had a dream, she became the second prince's side concubine, and suddenly one night, there was chaos in the house.

A group of guards armed with torches surrounded her, all bound and waiting to be released.

She saw Qi Su majestic, stepping forward, kneeling down the steps of the subjects; She saw Tao Chi smiling lightly, following Jun's side, not knowing herself at all.

didn't dream of the back, Ye Congwei was scared awake.

Although I have never seen the scene of being cut or killed, it is uncomfortable enough.

An inexplicable melancholy enveloped her, and she ate only half a bowl of dinner, and rested peacefully at night, without any sleep.

*******

In the following days, Ye Congwei was like a death row prisoner in prison, waiting for a crucial sentence.

It's not just her, a lot of people are watching.

After April, the holy decree was promulgated, and the eldest prince and the second prince each set up a concubine and a side concubine.

A total of four noble ladies were elected, and there was no Chengtai Hou Mansion.

As soon as the news came out, some people were happy and some were worried.

Ye Congwei is undoubtedly the happiest one, if she really wants to choose, she would rather follow Qi Su.

It's good that the bad people will ascend the throne and be the emperor in the future, instead of being as miserable as the trees falling and scattering.

As for the wife, she will be careful.

The old lady and Ye Ticheng couldn't say whether they were disappointed or not, so they invited Ye Congwei to comfort her and let her keep her calm.

"Since we don't have a relationship with the royal family, let's pick a simple and good family." The old lady instructed the county lord of Qingning to pay attention.

This is actually a silent urging, because the county lord of Qingning attaches great importance to Ye Congzhi's marriage, and she can't choose the one she is satisfied with now.

My sister didn't get married, and my sister didn't act well, otherwise it would be in trouble for her reputation.

Ye Congwei is not in a hurry at this time, but the second lady is a little anxious.

Ye Congfei is not much younger than Ye Congzhi, what if the county lord of Qingning delays the best time for his daughter to choose a son-in-law? !

They don't have a father, nor do they have a county lord's mother, so the range of choices is very limited.

Ye Congzhi is half a year late, and it's okay to get married, Ye Congfei may not be able to afford to wait.

If there is no accident, it is all the elders and youngsters in turn, otherwise outsiders should rumor that the sisters are not compatible or something like that.

"Don't worry, old lady, I know it." The county lord of Qingning smiled and agreed.

The old lady didn't talk about her, and turned to Ye Congwei and said: "Brother Shuo is making a fuss about buying a horse farm, your father and second uncle have agreed, and your sisters will go to play together in two days." ”

"Okay," Ye Congwei nodded, and asked again, "How could grandmother agree to Brother Shuo?" ”

"It's not that he moved my little great-grandson out," the old lady was full of helplessness: "Brother Ren Li is still a milk doll, so he threatened to teach him to ride a horse in the future." “

The county lord of Qingning smiled: "He really has a heart." ”

Her precious grandson, how can she go to a dangerous place like a horse farm at such a young age!

Ye Ticheng said: "My own stable is too small, since the juniors like to ride horses, it is not a big deal to find a piece of land for them to toss." ”

"Beware of playthings." The county lord of Qingning reminded.

"It's just fun, it's too boring to be detained all day long." The old lady spoke and told her to shut up.

*******

The Queen's Bedchamber.

The second prince's face was full of displeasure, "The queen mother has coaxed me." ”

The queen was not surprised by his arrival, and said with a faint smile: "Xuan'er said this? ”

"The queen mother, the son made it clear that he wanted Ye Congwei to be a side concubine." The second prince repeated.

"That child, the eyebrows are sorrowful, elegant and lovely, but it's a pity that Chengtaihou is no good for us." The queen raised her eyes to look at him: "You know it in your heart. ”

The second prince paused and said, "Then I also have the confidence to defeat the eldest emperor." ”

"What confidence do you have?" The queen snorted coldly: "Your father is getting more and more confused, don't think that he will follow orthodoxy and make his son the prince." ”

The second prince clenched his fists: "I won't lose to them." ”

The queen glanced at him and laughed: "It's good that you have this determination, so you have to work harder, step by step." ”

"But Ye Congwei ......"

"Did I say she wouldn't give it to you?" The queen interrupted her and said, "She has not yet decided to marry, and whoever is interested in it at that time will not be able to succeed if I only need a word." ”

The second prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What does the queen mother mean, keep her for me?" ”

The queen raised her hand to stop: "Don't be too happy, your wedding date is set at the end of the year, and no matter how you say it, you will not be able to accept her into the house until next year."

"But she can only be a concubine......," the second prince pouted.

"Why, I've only met twice, and you're so obsessed with it, what do you want to promise her?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were slightly cold.

She won't stop her son from taking a fancy to any girl, but if she loses her sense of proportion, it's not a situation she wants to see.

The second prince shook his head: "It's not ...... either."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled: "I know that you pity the beauty, anyway, it will be your person at that time, you can spoil as much as you want, as long as you become the prince......"

She lowered her voice: "Get to that position...... You can give her whatever grace you want. ”

"The sons are willing to obey the arrangement of the queen mother."

The second prince knew that Ye Congwei would not marry someone else, and he instantly relieved himself.

******

Ye Congwei was elected as the princess, and his heart was a lot easier, and he happily went to the horse farm with Ye Shuo.

She has her own riding outfit and buys ready-to-wear clothes, which are not tailor-made, but they fit well.

Different from the last trip to the racecourse, this time she was in a good mood and really wanted to learn and see.

The venue has not been purchased for a long time, and the area is not at all comparable to the one owned by Prince Yu, but for Ye Shuo, who likes to run horses, it is good enough.

He first went crazy and walked around before he could calm down and accompany his sisters.

Ye Congfei repeatedly raised his voice to tell him to be careful, and he was completely blown away in the wind.

Ye Congwei persuaded: "Fourth sister don't worry, Brother Shuo often rides and is already proficient." ”

"Fifth sister, have you forgotten that he is only nine years old." Ye Congfei was displeased: "It's a shame that he thinks about you when he has good things, and he doesn't know that he is distressed at all." ”

"Brother Shuo is precocious, and he is already a little man at the age of nine." After Ye Congwei finished speaking, he climbed onto the horse's back with his hands and feet.

"I'm used to coaxing people with rhetoric." Ye Congfei couldn't refute this, and walked away with a snort.

Ye Congwei didn't know how to ride, so he could only carefully let the horse walk around.

Silan led the horse for her, slowly let go of the reins and handed the reins to her, and then took a few steps back.

Unexpectedly, no one led the horse, it was motionless, and it had no intention of leaving.

"The fourth girl is really angry today." Si Lan turned his head to look at Ye Congfei not far away.

"She's not angry, but she's held back for a few days." Ye Congwei gently kicked the horse's belly with his heel, wanting it to move.

Before the holy decree came down, the second lady and Ye Congfei both thought that Ye Congwei would become a side concubine.

The second lady is just that, Ye Congfei has been faintly at odds with Ye Congwei since childhood.

She forcibly avoided the other party, lest she would clash with words on impulse.

It's good now, Ye Congwei has no relationship with the side concubine, Ye Congfei is the same as the ban has been lifted, and he has returned to the way he was before.
