At two o'clock the next day, a zhu-topped carriage came out of the Cheng'en Mansion and stopped at the gate of the East Palace, and changed into a soft sedan chair and entered through the door on the right. According to the ancestral system, if the prince Liangdi is included in the East Palace, he can only bring a dowry of twenty-four at most, and any more is over. However, the rule is that the dead are alive, and there is the support of the queen in the palace, and she is the daughter of the uncle and grandmother of the country, so she made an exception to allow her to carry a dowry into the East Palace at forty-eight, although it is extremely hurried and hurried.

After all, there are countless noble daughters who are eager to marry into the East Palace, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is arrogant and not a good woman, and it is even more difficult to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Not to mention that it is Liangdi who is the queen of Tong's decree, even if she is a nameless concubine, some people can't ask for it.

After the canonization ceremony was completed at three o'clock, Tong Yao was helped to Qiushui Pavilion by the grandmother sent by the palace to teach etiquette and gave tea to the crown princess Ye Shiying.

"Concubine Tong Yao asks the princess for peace." Liangdi was not allowed to wear a wedding dress when she passed the door, only to see Tong Yao wearing a lilac-colored embroidered yellow peony wide-sleeved brocade skirt, the Shu brocade was gorgeous and matchless, and the peony flowers on the skirt were delicate and vivid. The yellow peony was originally a style that could only be used by the queen of the middle palace or the princess, and it was worn on Tong Yao to show the grace and care of the queen to her.

Ye Shiying, who was high on the sandalwood carved phoenix chair, smiled faintly, her eyes swept over Tong Yao's face like a hibiscus, and lightly opened her lips: "Tong Liangdi doesn't need to be polite, you are a woman of His Royal Highness since you marry into the East Palace, if we are in ordinary people, we should be called sisters." In the future, you will serve His Royal Highness and open up branches for the royal family as soon as possible. ”

Tong Yao raised her eyes to look at Ye Shiying's alluring face, and her heart couldn't help but sigh, in the past, when she was in the boudoir, she rarely saw the daughter of Mrs. Ye's family. Although I knew that Ye Shiying was the first beauty in the capital, I didn't expect her to be so delicate and beautiful. Speaking of beauty alone, Tong Yao is ashamed of herself in her heart. It's just that she is more and more puzzled, why does Yu Wenye love the princess's cousin when she guards such a beautiful princess? She had seen Bai Muguan at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and she didn't think she was better than Ye Shiying.

"Thank you for the teachings of the princess's sister, and the concubine should keep it in mind." After saying that, Tong Yao walked forward a few steps and bent his knees towards Ye Shiying to offer tea.

But whenever the concubine enters the door to offer the first cup of tea to his wife, she usually inevitably suffers from the power of the horse. Ye Shiying, who was a concubine, didn't bother to beat Tong Yao, but just took the blue and white porcelain tea cup with a smile and took a polite sip.

Ye Shiying turned her hand and put the teacup aside, and ordered sideways: "Haoyue, you go to the study and ask His Highness to come over." ”

Haoyue hurriedly left.

"Xing'er, give Tong Liangdi a seat." Ye Shiying has a quiet and gentle smile on her face, this smile lacks the nobility and majesty that the crown princess should have, but is like a lady in the boudoir. Today, she is wearing a lake-colored grape pomegranate six-piece brocade skirt, her black hair is simply tied into a round bun, and the accessories are nothing more than a few exquisite and unique Hetian hostas, her temperament is like a hollow valley orchid, and her expression is peaceful.

Tong Yao walked to the left side of the head and sat down, and there was no courtesy for the time being, but there was a resentment in the depths of her eyes that could not be concealed, and she occasionally bit her lower lip unconsciously.

After about a cup of tea, Haoyue finally invited Yu Wenye. It was reasonable that he should have come to Qiushui Pavilion early, and even the night before the concubine's room passed the door, he should have rested at the crown princess's place, but unfortunately he was so angry in his heart that he didn't want to, so he naturally couldn't delay it and ignore it.

"The concubine came to see His Highness." Ye Shiying and Tong Yao got up almost at the same time to salute, and the ring was dingdong, and the jade moved and swayed.

Yu Wenye sat straight to the place where Ye Shiying was sitting, waved his hand indifferently, and motioned for them to be flat. Then he had a cold handsome face and an expressionless face.

Ye Shiying stood aside respectfully, folded her hands in front of her chest, and asked softly: "Concubine, please show me, I don't know where to point out to Tong Liangdi for the dormitory?" ”

The backyard of the East Palace can be described as a small harem, which is composed of individual small courtyards, among which Qiushui Pavilion is the most gorgeous and spacious main courtyard. The rest such as Qingyun Pavilion are also excellent, and the next ones have their own characteristics.

Yu Wenye gave an answer without thinking: "Furong Pavilion." ”

The Furong Pavilion is far away from his study, and has been uninhabited for many years, and Zheng Yuan lives in the Mulan Pavilion closest to it. Although the two courtyards occupy a small area, they are also elegant and tranquil with trees, and flowers and birds are lush in spring. Now all you need to do is send a maid to clean up and live in.

Ye Shiying curtsied and said: "Yes, the concubine will send someone to pick it up, and the dowry from Tong Liangdi's marriage can also have a place to be placed." ”

Taking advantage of the maid's entry to change the tea, Tong Yao lowered her head with a shy, and called softly: "Your Highness." ”

She was still dressed as a boudoir girl yesterday, and now she has combed the bride's fallen ponytail, her sideburns are not messy, and a few hairpins with dark red agate beads are obliquely held, and the silk tassels hanging down the hairpin are shining with silver and emerald sparkling waves. Behind the ears, there are several well-textured carmine velvet flowers, implying peace and glory.

Furong Pavilion, she has never been there, she only thinks it is good when she hears the name. After all, people often praise her for her face like a hibiscus and her beautiful and graceful birth, and the name of this dormitory is very commensurate with her appearance and temperament. Thinking like this, the depression and grievances in his heart dissipated a little, and secretly thought that she was his cousin anyway, and he would not treat her badly and sweep the face of Queen Tong.

In fact, Yu Wenye turned a blind eye to her, and even her voice of "Your Highness" turned a thousand times, he didn't hear it.

Seeing that he didn't react, Tong Yao couldn't help but think that he didn't hear it, so he boldly raised his voice and called again, but this time he changed his title: "Cousin." ”

Unexpectedly, his cold eyes turned disdainful, and he did not hide his annoyance in his words: "If you want this prince to admit you into the door, there will be no cousins and sisters in the future, and you will be ashamed to listen to the madness." ”

Tong Yao's face turned pale, and she nodded with a smile: "Your Highness is right to reprimand, the concubine will never dare again." ”

Immediately after Ye Shiying spoke at the right time, with the virtuous and virtuous appearance of the crown princess on her face, she said gently: "I want to come to His Royal Highness to stay in Furong Pavilion tonight, seeing that the hour is not early, it is better for His Royal Highness to accompany Tong Liangdi back to Furong Pavilion in person, if there is anything missing, it should be complete." ”

On the bright side, she tried her best to play the role of the crown princess, at least so that the emperor and queen could not find any big mistakes. Virtuous and gentle, neither disputable nor jealous, outsiders only think that she was born in a scholarly family, knows how to be well-educated, and has a broad heart, but she knows that she is just because she doesn't care. If she cares about Yu Wenye, why don't she stay out of the matter all the time, and she doesn't want to see or think about him. Whether he is alone, sleeping in flowers and willows, it has nothing to do with her Ye Shiying.

"Who said I was going to Hibiscus Pavilion tonight? Where am I staying, do I have to ask the princess to arrange it? Yu Wenye said coldly, a sarcastic smile bloomed on his lips, and he didn't intend to show Ye Shiying mercy.

Ye Shiying showed a panicked look, and hurriedly confessed: "Blame the concubine for exceeding the rules, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Although he didn't say that he would go to Furong Pavilion tonight, according to the usual practice, the newly sealed Liangdi entered the mansion on the first day, and Yu Wenye should stay overnight, not only to do the courtesy of Zhou Gong but also to take care of his face. How can a newcomer bring in the door and ignore it?

"Prince Ben will stay in Mulan Pavilion tonight." After that, Yu Wenye stroked his palms and laughed, but the laughter was not from the heart, but with a little desolation.

Tong Yao didn't react for a while, she was stunned in place, and watched him get up and walk outside. The laughter echoed in her ears for a long time, piercing her heart and making her even more embarrassed.

Mulan Pavilion? Tong Yao knew that Yu Wenye had not taken a concubine seriously, and there was only one female protagonist in the East Palace, Ye Shiying, so who was the one who lived in Mulan Pavilion? A name suddenly crossed Tong Yao's mind, and she trembled with annoyance, and suddenly realized that that person was the daughter of the brave and righteous marquis, and they had not yet given marriage and status, how could the prince be willing to damage her reputation with great fanfare? There are other people who want to come to live in Mulan Pavilion.

"Sister Crown Princess, the concubine is very confused, I don't know who lives in the Mulan Pavilion just mentioned by His Highness?" Tong Yao held her breath deeply, determined to pull down her face, and asked with a smile pretending to be innocent.

No one is qualified to snatch her husband from her and Yu Wenye's wedding night! She will be at odds with her!

Ye Shiying knew the jealousy that Tong Yao couldn't hide in her eyes, and felt a little sympathy in her heart, so she said lightly: "You don't know, Mulan Pavilion is the residence given to Zheng Ji by His Royal Highness. She is a singer who His Royal Highness personally asked His Majesty on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and she is quite beautiful in singing and dancing. ”

It turned out to be just a singer given by the palace, Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she had 10,000 ways to easily kill a little singer in the future.

Besides, Yu Wenye stepped out of Qiushui Pavilion and walked towards Qingyun Pavilion after passing through the Jiuqu Corridor, and he walked quickly all the way with a bad look. The gate of Qingyun Pavilion is closed today, and there are only a few maids and elderly women who do rough work in the courtyard, and Bilong Xiangyun is not there.

After looking around and not seeing a figure, Yu Wenye grabbed a little maid and asked, "Where is Miss Biao?" ”

The little maid replied respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, half an hour ago, Princess Mu and Princess Mu sent the palace people to invite Miss Table, and Miss Cousin has been dressed up and entered the palace in a carriage for a long time." ”

Yu Wenye couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this: "Princess Hemu sent someone to summon Miss Biao, why didn't anyone tell this prince?" ”

The little maid in front of her noticed the prince's displeasure, and said more and more cautiously: "The slave maid doesn't know. I think that because Miss Biao has a very good relationship with Princess Mu, she didn't send the slaves and maids to alarm Your Highness. ”

Yu Wenye waved his hand and motioned for her to step back.

The words "very good relationship" fell into his ears, yes, if they had a bad personal relationship, how could Bai Muguan almost fall into the trap because of helping Yuwen Murou last time. Their friendship is good or bad, and it doesn't hurt him. However, entering the palace so quietly is definitely not Bai Muguan's style of acting, she seems to deliberately avoid him, which shows that she is secretly angry in her heart.

Thinking of this, Wen Ye sighed alone. What he did tonight was afraid that it would bring harm to his Wanguan, but he was in order to kill two birds with one stone in the future, and he used Tong Yao's hand to get rid of Zheng Yuan's unknown eyeliner, just as neatly, and at the same time, he didn't have to dirty his hands.
