Chapter 38: Just Tonight

Five thousand cavalry was Yuyan's dowry.

Yuyan also knew why the eldest sister would say such a thing. The eldest sister wrote a letter asking Yuyan to come to Beijing, originally asking her to be Xiao Dingquan's concubine. The previous events were exactly the same as in the previous life. It has never changed in this life, which is why her father will give her 5,000 cavalry, in order to narrow the distance between her and the new king, once Xiao Dingquan ascends to the emperor in the future and establishes a new dynasty, whether it is the identity of a relative or from the dragon's work, the Zhu family can get a noble title in everything.

Xiao Dingquan's eyes looked at Yuyan with a hint of heat, and he asked a little uncomfortably, "How old are you?" ”

"I just turned fourteen!" Yuwei said.

"It's too small!" Xiao Dingquan cleared his throat and reached out to help Yuyan, Yuyan was already falling backwards, her grandmother supported her, and she got up by herself, "Thank you, brother-in-law!" ”

Pretended not to understand Yuwei's words. Xiao Dingquan remembered that she was young and didn't care much, but Yuwei was a little dissatisfied, "It's okay for our family to call your brother-in-law in private, in front of outsiders, you still have to call the king, otherwise it will be rude to us." ”

"Yes!" Yuyan retreated respectfully, with thorough etiquette and calm demeanor, and the girls in the capital did not have the bearing of Yuyan.

Yuwei was very satisfied, and glanced at Xiao Dingquan proudly. Xiao Dingquan is naturally very satisfied, although he is in a high position, he can't suppress the joy in his heart at this time, and the teacup he holds up can't cover the corners of his lips, and the two smiles on the corners of his lips.

has been married for many years, and Yuwei certainly understands herself. Although he knew for a long time that his husband would definitely like his own sister, he still put his mind at this moment. Now, for the rest of the matter, she only needs to worry about it, Yan Yan can conceive an heir as soon as possible. If you want the Zhu family to endure, the heir to the king must be from her sister.

Yuyan knew what her sister was pondering, she lowered her head and didn't speak, and ignored Zhu Yuyi's curious gaze that kept throwing at her, suddenly, Yuyi seemed to understand something, and when she smiled, Yuyan stared at a pair of fawn-like clear eyes, and asked Yuyi puzzledly, "Third sister, what are you laughing at?" ”

"I'm not laughing, what can I laugh at? Second sister, don't talk nonsense! Yuyi was frightened, and turned to Yuwei for help, "Big sister, I didn't laugh, second sister, she wronged me!" ”

Yuyan sat upright, like Fang Cai's words were not what she said, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, dignified as a Buddha statue.

Xiao Dingquan is more than thirty years older than her, his eldest son is older than Zhu Yuyan, and looking at Yuyan is like looking at his own daughter, seeing her naughty for a while, a pair of black and white eyes are spinning, and then realizing that he said the wrong thing, so nervous that he didn't dare to squeak, he was already cute.

Yuwei was about to reprimand Yuyan for two sentences, but Xiao Dingquan raised his hand to stop her and said, "Let's set the meal!" ”

There is no rule of not saying anything in the palace for the time being, Xiao Dingquan and Yuwei talked about the funeral ahead, "The ministers all proposed that the funeral should be simple, Zhang Daochang calculated that the day after tomorrow is a good day, and suggested that the coffin of the father and the king should be moved out of the mausoleum as soon as possible. ”

"Tonight, the last time to guard the spirit, originally the four county princes guarded together, the eldest brother is not in good health, Ding Min has been overly sad these days, so I and the second brother will keep this last night."

Yuyan raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Dingquan, just caught by Xiao Dingquan's corner of the eye, she hurriedly lowered her head, like a little person who secretly looked at the lover and was caught by the lover. Xiao Dingquan smiled, the smile flashed, Yuwei lowered her head to eat, and she didn't see it.

And when they had eaten, they came out of the temple and went forward together to weep the spirit. Yuyi pretended to be intimate with Yuyan and the two walked together, she looked left and right, "Second sister, you are seducing the eldest brother-in-law!" ”

"Really? What evidence do you have? ”

"I saw it, you secretly looked at your eldest brother-in-law several times, and your eldest brother-in-law has been watching you all the time!"

Yuyan paused and stared at Yuyi, "Do you know the purpose of my coming to Beijing?" ”

"For what purpose?"

"I won't tell you what the purpose is, but if you are wise, you will want to go." Yuyan quickened her pace, got rid of Yuyi, and walked forward on her own.

Tonight, just tonight, the original four county kings accompanied Xiao Dingquan to guard the last night spirit, Xiao Dingguo, the king of the big county, is the eldest son of the old king, and he is indeed old, but not so old that he can't keep the spirit of his old father. Xiao Dingmin is the nephew of Lao Wang, his father is the brother of Lao Wang's mother, and he gave up his life to save Lao Wang's life.

However, there are only Xiao Dingquan and Xiao Dingtai, which has to make Yuyan suspicious, and it is too coincidental.

Yuyan has been thinking about her thoughts, and when she arrived at the Liangyi Palace, Zhou Xiao was waiting for her at the door, and when she saw her coming reluctantly, she raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Didn't think about anything!" Yuyan saw that there were a lot of people, and the two waited in a corner under the eaves of the porch, and when everyone went in, the two of them found a place to kneel down in the threshold.

A day passed like this, and Yuyan only felt that time passed quickly. Before she could figure out a solution, the day passed.

After going back to eat, Yuyan went to tell Yuwei that she wanted to go to the palace in front to see Zhou Xiao. Yuwei didn't believe it very much, so Yuyi said in a weird manner beside her, "Second sister, you didn't deliberately want to go and see it when you heard your eldest brother-in-law say that you were going to keep a vigil over there tonight in the morning, right?" ”

Yuwei was also suspicious, and Yuyan's face was still unmoving, "If the third sister thinks it is, then it is!" ”

"There are a lot of people in front, if you go to see Zhou Xiao, ask someone to take you there, come back when you see it, don't run away."

She was worried, did Xiao Dingquan hint at something with Yuyan? It's not easy to stop, besides, although the king is now in the filial piety period, he can't do anything, but the Zhong family has already said that he wants to take his niece to Beijing, and she is also a little anxious now, if Yuyan can get acquainted with the king earlier, it would be a good thing.

Yuwei personally sent Yuyan out, and whispered to her in the courtyard, "If you meet the king, don't be reckless, first, you are still young now, second, your status is undecided, and my sister is also worried that you will suffer." ”

Yuyan only said "um", under the night, the light of the palace lamp covered with a layer of white paper could not shine in the middle of the courtyard, Yuwei couldn't see Yuyan's face clearly, only when she was shy, she pinched her hand, a little uneasy and very expectant, "Go, my sister will protect you!" ”
