Chapter 142: Position
Although Yan Qingge was excited, his brain was still there. In the end, she only sent this letter to Ling Xiao and Le Yi. Among her relatives and friends, only Ling Xiao and Le Jia knew that she didn't want to marry the crown prince.
Originally, she also wrote a letter to Yan Xiuyu, but she hesitated again and again and burned the letter. She took the initiative to tell Yan Xiuyu about this, wasn't she showing her heart to Yan Xiuyu, it was too embarrassing to do this kind of thing.
After Ling Xiao received the letter, he quickly replied to Yan Qingge, congratulating Yan Qingge on finally getting out of the sea of suffering, and asked her to go out to meet.
Yan Qingge was full of joy and was anxious to talk to someone, so he immediately went to the restaurant mentioned in Ling Xiao's letter.
She arrived more than two quarters of an hour earlier than the scheduled time, and when Ling Xiao came, as soon as she pushed the door of the private room and entered, she saw Yan Qingge walking around the room.
"Ling Xiao, I'm so happy." Yan Qingge almost threw himself into Ling Xiao's arms and hugged her tightly.
Ling Xiao patted her on the back and grinned, "You also have such an unstable day. ”
The two sat down to talk, and Ling Xiao asked, "Did you tell Little Lord Yan about this?" ”
"Not yet." Yan Qingge said a little shyly: "It's not appropriate to talk to him now." Besides, the marriage certificate was only filled out by my father, and it was not exchanged with the other side. Although nothing should happen, in case of extraneous branches, I have to re-plan, and I don't have to let others follow me to rejoice. ”
"Yes!" Ling Xiao said: "It's a shame that I didn't meet Brother Shui Mu today, otherwise I would have told him soon." In this case, we don't want to tell others about this news, and then tell others when the royal family agrees to let the prince marry your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is really powerful, a concubine can marry into the prince's mansion, even if she is just a concubine, it is very amazing. ”
"She may not just be a concubine, but a side concubine. My father put her name on the family tree and put it in my mother's name. ”
"Your father did this kind of thing, too?" Ling Xiao was surprised: "Why don't you stop it, this is too deceitful!" ”
Yan Qingge said: "Don't worry, I don't care, I have already written to tell my uncle." He replied to me, he was in charge of Qingzhou, and he couldn't leave for a while, but he would let Heshan Lejia take care of this matter. When the time comes, how to write her name, I will have to paint it. ”
Because Yan Qingge had long said that he didn't want to marry the prince, and today his dream finally came true, Ling Xiao was sincerely happy for Yan Qingge.
The two simply ordered a table of food in the restaurant, and drank wine for the first time, celebrating this beautiful event.
A few days later, the two aunts in the palace came again.
Yan Shuyu lived in Miaolian Temple, and before she returned home, they only saw Yan Qingge.
These two aunts had a very good attitude towards Yan Qingge, and after talking to Yan Qingge, Yan Songnian handed the written marriage book to the two aunts, and the marriage book was packed in a box sealed with beeswax, and the two aunts had no right to view it.
The two aunts solemnly took the marriage book, and handed the marriage book containing the prince's birthday and name to Yan Songnian.
The first step of this marriage contract can be regarded as the beginning.
Although they are only responsible for delivering the marriage certificate, they cannot open the marriage book to see whose name is written in it. But the last time they came, they so obviously hinted that the one in the palace liked Yan Qingge, and who would be written in the Yan family's marriage book, they felt that they didn't need to point it out.
After seeing the two aunts leave, Yan Qingge finally breathed a sigh of relief. There is no turning back from the bow, once the engagement ceremony begins, even if the royal family is dissatisfied with Yan Shuyu and withdraws her from the marriage, she can't turn around and remarry another Yan family girl, otherwise those swordsmen and penmen will die hard.
She was completely safe.
The two aunts returned to the palace with the box of the marriage book, went straight to the Fengzao Palace, and handed the box to the queen.
The queen personally used a hairpin to pick up the beeswax, opened the box, took out the marriage book and read it.
The name on the marriage book clearly says Yan Shuyu.
She groaned slightly, and said to the two aunts waiting below, "What are the two young ladies of the Yan family doing when you go this time?" ”
"The eldest lady of the Yan family is at home, and the second lady went to Miaolian Temple and hasn't come back yet."
"Oh, what is she doing at Myorenji Temple?"
"The biological mother of the second lady had a miscarriage a few days ago, and fell four boys who had already taken shape, and after being rescued, she lost her heart and went crazy. In order to pray for her mother's blessing and eliminate karma, the second lady lived in the temple and led the practice. ”
The queen said thoughtfully: "It's a filial one." Tell the Ministry of Rites to prepare, and when the second lady of the Yan family comes back from the temple, she will go to the Yan family to be hired. ”
There was a panic on the faces of the two aunts, and the queen was saying that the name of the second lady of the Yan family was written on the marriage certificate, not the name of the eldest lady of the Yan family?
The next day, the marriage certificate was sent to the Ministry of Rites.
This matter can no longer be hidden from others, and the prince knows it for the first time.
Zhu Liubao looked at the prince's expression, and he couldn't figure out what the lord was thinking.
He followed the prince to meet Yan Qingge twice, and naturally knew that Yan Qingge was the plum blossom fairy in the prince's heart. Now that the plum blossom fairy is gone, and has become the sister of the plum blossom fairy, Zhu Liubao is not sure if the prince can accept this result.
As a result, for a whole day, the prince did not express any opinion on this matter, but continued to do what he should do, as if he had not been affected in any way.
After he finished his day's work, he did not go back to Chuxiu Palace, but said to Zhu Liubao: "Inform my mother that I will go to her for dinner at night." ”
Zhu Liubao shrank his neck and said yes, knowing that the prince was not temperless, but that his temper did not attack.
At dinner time, the prince and Zhu Liubao went to Fengzao Palace together.
As soon as the queen saw him, she smiled and beckoned: "Xun'er, you are here because of the Yan family's marriage letter." ”
The prince nodded and said, "Yes! Queen mother, the second lady of the Yan family seems to be born as a concubine, and in the marriage contract between my Yuan family and the Yan family, I married the daughter of the Yan family, Xun'er wanted to come and ask what was going on. ”
The queen said: "Does Xun'er feel wronged? It is true that Miss Yan Er was not born to the mother of the Yan family, but it is recorded in the name of the mother, and she can be regarded as a concubine. But whether she is orthodox or not, the mourning family knows in her heart that she will not harm you. The mourning family won't let her be your concubine. ”
The prince nodded and said, "Even the side concubine can't do it." Sister Qianqian will enter the palace at the end of this year, and if Sister Qianqian knows that the concubine of the Yan family is the same concubine as her, she will definitely not be happy. ”
The queen smiled and said, "You just take care of your sister Qianqian." The status of the second miss of the Yan family is lower, just call her your concubine, if she is blessed to give birth to a boy and a girl in the future, and then slowly raise it. ”
When the mother and son said this, they stopped the topic and talked about other things.
Zhu Liubao stood in the corner, secretly wiping the sweat from his head, the prince hated the second miss of the Yan family, even if she married in, her life in the future would not be easy.
Yan Qingge had a very happy summer this year, even though the weather was very hot, she still went out to play like a happy bird.
Without a marriage contract, she doesn't know how easy it is.
The matter of her marriage contract being topped, after all, she still did not hide it from Yan Xiuyu.
On this day, Yan Qingge was embroidering, and Yan Xiuyu sent a letter.
Yan Qingge opened it and saw that Yan Xiuyu's dragon flying and phoenix dance in one stroke seemed to be full of joy in every word, but the content was that he had just learned that the second lady of the Yan family had replaced the marriage contract between Yan Qingge and the prince, and asked Yan Qingge to mourn and change. In the end, Yan Qingge was invited to come out for a gathering.
Because the marriage letter was sent to the Ministry of Rites, and the prince was the person who attracted the attention of the world, it didn't take long for the prince and the second lady of the Yan family to exchange the marriage book to spread in a small range in the aristocratic circle.
The prince's wife is different from that of a commoner, even if he exchanges marriage letters, he is not necessarily the crown princess, but also a side concubine, and even for some other reasons, he will be given a lower position. Especially this year, Yuan Qianqian, the concubine of Prince Zhao's family, also exchanged marriage letters with the prince, and has decided to enter the palace as a side concubine, so no one thinks that the second lady of the Yan family can cross Yuan Qianqian and become the crown princess.
After Yan Xiuyu learned the news, he almost immediately wrote a letter to Yan Qingge.
Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu had known each other for a long time, how could she not see the excitement in Yan Xiuyu's tone. But at this time, she must not show her face outside, especially when meeting men.
She lost in her marriage with the prince, even if she didn't like the prince, she should show her duty as a subject of the Great Zhou, and she should show a sad and sad image of not going out, otherwise it would be her sin to let someone who cares see that she is still going out to play at this time and sue the royal family.
Yan Qingge couldn't say it too clearly, but he still hid the words in his words, and told Yan Xiuyu the reason in the code words that the two of them usually communicated.
Sure enough, Yan Xiuyu immediately understood, when the next letter came, he sent her a lot of fresh gadgets by the way, telling her to just hide from the limelight at home, these things were for her to relieve her boredom.
Yan Xiuyu became so easy to speak, Yan Qingge could vaguely guess the reason. Without the crown prince, she and Yan Xiuyu have waited for this period of time, and they should be able to cross the bright road, and in the future, they will get along with Ling Xiao and Shui Mu, and no one will say anything.
He was afraid that he was stealing fun at this time, and he would never be stupid and ask Yan Qingge to come out and attract the attention of the royal family.
At the beginning of June, Aunt Chu gave birth to a child, and it was a girl again. She cried behind closed doors for two days, this child is the fourth lady of the Yan family, and she is much stronger than her sister Yan Runxin. Yan Songnian named her Yan Boling.
It's the end of August, and the weather is getting cooler. At noon on this day, Ruyi walked in and said to Yan Qingge, who was embroidering the screen: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss is back." ”
"Oh?" Yan Qingge didn't stop, continued to be busy embroidering, and said: "My sister is pious this time, and it took so long to return home to worship the Buddha." ”
"The second lady looks really different when she comes back, she looks much kinder, kind and kind, and helps the maid carry things." Ruyi said.
After Yan Qingge listened, none of the embroidery needles were pinched properly, and they pierced his fingers, and a big bead of blood appeared in an instant.
"Oh, Miss, why are you so careless." Ruyi exclaimed in surprise and pounced.
Yan Qingge put his fingers in his mouth and said vaguely: "Can she still get better?" You can't be mistaken, right? ”
Ruyi said: "Eldest Miss, your hand is injured, and I am still worried about whether the second lady has reformed herself, hurry up and show me your hand." ”
Yan Qingge took his fingers out of his mouth to see that there was no longer bleeding out, and said to Ruyi: "The country is difficult to change, and the nature is difficult to change. You pay more attention to Miss Er, I want to see if she really gets better. ”
said this, but she was extremely conflicted in her heart.
If Yan Shuyu really became a good person, then what was the hatred before she was reborn? Although Aunt Hai has suffered retribution, Yan Shuyu is fine, and she will enter the palace to be the prince's woman after a while.
