In the command room, today is the fifth day that Ye Shiying has married into the East Palace.

On the fifth day, Yu Wenye went out early and returned late as always, listening to the government in the last court, and going to the military department or the official department in the next court, and was busy with official affairs and political affairs no different from when he did not get married. He had never taken the initiative to set foot in Qiushui Pavilion, and his crown princess had also never sent anyone to invite him. The two of them went their separate ways, and they were safe with each other, in other words, there was no intersection.

On the bright side, Ye Shiying married into the East Palace with the envy of a group of nobles in the capital, but in fact, she, the crown princess, was in name only. The affairs of the East Palace are still handled by the head of the palace, Wang Quan, and there is no need for her to think about it, or Yu Wenye is not worried about her being a strange woman at all.

has nothing to do, Ye Shiying's life has not changed much because of marriage. After getting up in the morning and washing, she practiced calligraphy or read some poems and songs as usual, got up in the afternoon to accompany Haoyue and others to do some female red to pass the time, and played the yaoqin alone in the evening. She was both a crown princess and a bride, and the ladies and nobles who were anxious to visit her were all politely shut out. She married to the East Palace, and most of her mission has been completed, and she just wants to live in peace in this corner in the future.

The afterglow of the sunset this evening sprinkled the entire back garden of the East Palace, and the sunset in the distant sky was infinitely beautiful, as if it had gilded the already beautiful back garden with a layer of hazy golden light.

The East Palace is built close to the Inner Palace, solemn and solemn covers a huge area, the scenery everywhere inside is not bad, if you want to talk about the most beautiful scenery is the Mingyue Lake in the back garden. Mingyue Lake is the most quiet and quiet place in the East Palace, with several elegant pavilions standing in the middle of the lake, completely detached from the glitz of the royal drunken gold fan. The fish pattern is like a sparkling lake, and there is a painting boat built in the center of the lake, and the antique painting boat and the rockery complement each other. This chic makes people pay no attention, as if they are in the distant and hopeful Jiangnan.

Walk through the winding bluestone path, and follow the short trestle bridge to reach the painting boat in the middle of the lake.

Ye Shiying sat alone in the painting boat and played the piano, with a delicate and unique incense burner on the rosewood table, and the calm lily incense wafted out of the incense burner.

As her fingertips fluttered, her slender hands plucked a few strings back and forth, and some ethereal tunes suddenly sounded. The clear and elegant rhyme gradually spread, and there was a sudden tranquility and euphemism between heaven and earth.

At the end of a song, play another song, and the lonely shadow blooms alone.

The painting boat was unblocked on all sides, and I don't know when Yu Wenye was already quietly standing behind her, staring at her back without saying a word.

Yu Wenye is proficient in music and rhythm, and has been learning the piano since he was a child, so he can naturally hear the sad and lingering meaning in Ye Shiying's qin music at this time.

"The tune is mournful, and the piano notes are sad. Not long after you and I got married, you played such a sad piano music, but it was because you resented the prince in your heart? Suddenly speaking, Yu Wenye's tone was playful, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.

Suddenly, hearing the voice, Ye Shiying hurriedly stood up, turned around and saluted respectfully: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, and the concubine has a lot of rudeness, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive her sins." ”

"It doesn't matter. Now that we are husband and wife, you don't have to be so careful in front of me in the future. Yu Wenye hooked his lips lightly, and his handsome face smiled like the stars holding the moon, but it was a pity that the woman in front of him didn't dare to look up at him.

In any case, he was ordered to marry her. Although he was unwilling in his heart, even if it was for the sake of Mrs. Ye's face, he should not treat her too lightly. What's more, this Miss Ye is indeed extremely beautiful, and she can afford to sink into the fish and geese. It's just that she looks frightened, not only does he not think that it is the dignified etiquette of everyone's ladies, but he is only a little irritable and unhappy inexplicably.

While Ye Shiying stood up straight, her lips kissed: "Your Highness Xie raises love." Although the concubine married His Royal Highness as his wife, she knew that the husband and wife should be the husband. What's more, Your Royal Highness, your status is noble and unparalleled, and the concubine body categorically does not dare to lose her sense of proportion in front of you. ”

It's hopeless!

Yu Wenye retracted his gaze to look at her unhappily, and his starry eyes diverged from the topic: "You also like this song "Youlan"? ”

Ye Shiying was stunned, and then reacted: "The concubine is here to entertain herself, playing a song indiscriminately that is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and she doesn't want His Highness to laugh." ”

Facing her obvious appearance, Yu Wenye couldn't help but be angry. He is a prince, one person is above 10,000 people, and everyone outside is submissive and hypocritical to him, and now he has to face his so-called wife when he returns to the East Palace. Where will the young couple's newlywed love be born? Even though she was beautiful and captivating, he was only bored in his eyes.

Thinking of this, I saw his thin lips raise an emotionless arc: "You are so afraid of me?" Are you so scared that you don't even dare to lift your head? ”

Ye Shiying frowned slightly, thin sweat oozing from her palms, and she was speechless for a while. She couldn't tell what the reason was, but when she faced him, she always felt a little panic and uncontrollable nervousness. Maybe because he was born in a royal family and was so noble, she was afraid that she would accidentally anger him by saying the wrong half a sentence, so she simply chose to deal with it silently.

"You know the rhythm of music, and you play the piano really well, but it's a pity that ......" casually opened her mouth to comment, Yu Wenye suddenly raised her hand, and was about to touch her face, but who knew that she was so shocked that she took two steps back.

Seeing this, he could no longer suppress his annoyance, and turned around and walked away with a cold snort.

It wasn't until he walked away that Ye Shiying came back to his senses and subconsciously called: "Your Highness......"

Where can Yu Wenye still be heard.

"Miss," Haoyue walked quickly, looking anxious, "Why did Miss let His Highness go?" You and Your Highness have finally met each other. ”

Ye Shiying lowered her eyes and sighed in a low voice: "Haoyue, my heart tells me that I don't love him. ”

Not only did she not love him, but she was afraid of him.

She had no affection for her husband, and she was afraid of his might. Because he is the prince, he will be the emperor in the future, and the supremacy of imperial power can determine life and death, so she can't wait to hide away.

It's just that as soon as she said this, Haoyue was so shocked that she was dumbfounded for a long time

"But Miss, you have married His Royal Highness the Prince, you are now the most envious of girls all over the world, and you will be the mother of the world in the future." Haoyue noticed that her young lady looked strange, and hurriedly stopped her mouth and lowered her head silently.

Haoyue is a personal maid who has served Ye Shiying since she was a child, and the friendship between master and servant is extraordinary. Haoyue knew that Ye Shiying had always been gentle and pure, and there was no one she admired when she was in the boudoir, and once she received the holy decree to give her a full glory of marriage, she thought that they would raise her eyebrows to be better than honey sweet, but she didn't expect such a situation.

Ye Shiying saw that Haoyue was absent-minded, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, the slave just can't figure it out, it is said outside that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are a pair made in heaven, but you are cold to each other." Haoyue muttered quietly.

"Do you remember an incident from ten years ago?" Ye Shiying's bright eyes looked into the distance, her eyes were far away and endless, and her tone was quite slow, "Ten years ago, His Royal Highness said that he would marry Mu Wan as his wife when he grew up, and Mu Wan was so happy, at that time, His Majesty and the Queen Mother both smiled and agreed. ”

Haoyue didn't think so after hearing this, she laughed and teased: "Miss has a really good memory, and she still remembers such childish anecdotes!" The slave remembered that His Royal Highness was only about ten years old that day, and Miss Biao was an ignorant child of several years old, and I was afraid that they would have forgotten what they said at that time. Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have given His Highness a marriage to you, and now you are the upright crown princess. ”

The Crown Princess?

Hearing these three words, Ye Shiying smiled self-deprecatingly, she was afraid that she would be locked in the deep palace by these three words in her life. The position of the incomparably noble crown princess is the glory that many women in the world look forward to day and night, but when she was in the boudoir, her mother's words echoed in her ears.

She deeply remembered that the night before the wedding, her mother held her hand and was reluctant, and at the end she told with a lot of worry: "Ying'er, although the position of this crown princess is golden and noble, you need to know that the high place is not cold." Our family is already extremely noble, and we didn't want you to marry into the royal family, but Your Majesty can't disobey the marriage. You have to remember the most ruthless imperial family, political marriage must not be obsessed with the love of children, you can only barely keep safe and sound only by being respectful to the virtuous and virtuous. ”

Although it is her daughter's family, Ye Shiying knows that today's son is to protect Jiangshan Taiping, and he values martial arts and light literature on the surface, but in fact, he is suspicious of the courtiers who hold military power in the court. If the crown prince marries the daughter of a military commander who holds military power, then the emperor's country will not be stable. Therefore, when choosing the crown princess, she was extremely cautious, and finally chose her, the daughter of a famous lady but with no real power. As the only concubine of the Ye family, in addition to keeping herself safe, she also needs to do her best to protect the safety of her mother's family.

"What is Miss thinking?" Haoyue's voice suddenly pulled back Ye Shiying's thoughts.

"It's fine." Ye Shiying couldn't help but change the topic, "Let's talk about it, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”

Haoyue then remembered what was going on, and hurriedly said: "Lord Taifu handed over the news, this morning in the court, Lord Cai, the secretary of the military department, begged His Majesty to marry his second daughter to the crown prince as a side concubine, but fortunately, His Majesty did not immediately agree. ”

Cai Quan, the secretary of the military department, held the military power of the capital, and because he had made military achievements for the imperial court in his early years, he was particularly arrogant and domineering. His eldest daughter Cai Yanluo married the prince of the Marquis of Weiyuan a few years ago, and when she got married, the emperor Yubi was named the lady of the third grade, and there were very few people who could win this honor. At present, only the second daughter Cai Liwan is in the boudoir, and it is rumored that she is a charming beauty with ice muscles and bones, and she is good at calligraphy and painting. Many of the top royal nobles in the capital proposed to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, but they were all turned away. Unexpectedly, the original idea of the military department Shangshu was to send the second daughter to the East Palace.

The smile on Ye Shiying's lips decreased a few points: "Let your beloved daughter be a side concubine, Cai Shangshu is not afraid of wronging her daughter?" ”

Whether it is a noble clan or a civil and military official, the children carefully raised in the mansion are just flags for the family, and relying on marriage is the most ingenious and direct strategy. Sometimes, in order to achieve a certain goal, even discarding a piece is not a big deal.

Haoyue shook her head and said: "The crown prince's side concubine is also married to the Ming media, and she can enter the royal family tree, plus Cai Shangshu holds a real power and status in the court, and his daughter will definitely not be wronged when she marries into the East Palace." ”

"Yes."

When the crown prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the coming days, the Cai family will produce an imperial concubine, who will become the wife of the Son of Heaven and enjoy the wealth and honor for decades. This account is not a loss! Now it depends on when the emperor will complete the Cai family?
