Chapter 35, the Prince
Li Cong happened to pass by the yard that day and saw five or six children bullying Yan Yan alone, but Yan Yan didn't cry or make trouble, just stared at each other stubbornly.
Probably the stubbornness in the girl's eyes moved him, he beckoned to her, and personally picked her up, asked what happened, and learned that it was because the children laughed at her for being a broom star and laughed at her for having no father and mother.
So, he said that he was her uncle in front of these children, and asked her to call him "Uncle Emperor" in the future.
Not to mention, the words "Uncle Emperor" really worked, at least after that, every time Yan Yan entered the palace, there would be children around her, and they were willing to play with her.
But I don't know what's going on, after his aunt, that is, Mrs. Yan Yan, is gone, Yan Yan's child is also depressed, and he enters the palace less often, and even less when he sees him.
After five years, hearing this "Uncle Emperor" again, Li Cong inevitably remembered Yan Yan's father, and inevitably remembered the child's life experience, pondered for a while, Li Cong turned to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, what do you mean?" ”
The queen mother saw that her son was loose, of course, she was willing to punish Mrs. Lu a little, no matter what, Yan Yan is also her sister's own granddaughter, and this family matter was personally decided by her, and the Lu family did this, which was a little too dismissive of her, so she nodded slightly.
Li Cong saw that the Queen Mother nodded, so he turned to Yan Yan, "I promised you 'Uncle Emperor', let Mrs. Lu apologize to you in public, but there is one point, are you sure to cancel your marriage contract with Lu Ming's kid?" ”
"Sure." Yan Yan nodded firmly.
"Queen Mother, this matter will be explained to the prince of Zhenguo, and the son-in-law has other things, so he will retire first." After Li Cong finished speaking, he bowed to the Queen Mother, turned around and strode away.
"Okay, the mourning family is also a little tired, you kneel down." Although the Queen Mother agreed to punish Mrs. Lu, as long as she thought of this matter and had many headaches to follow-up questions, she was not in the mood to face Yan Yan.
"The courtiers retired, the courtiers caused trouble to the queen mother, but this is not the original intention of the courtiers, he will take refuge in Buddhism on the day and night, and will pray for the queen mother day and night, I wish the queen mother a long and healthy life, this is the blessing of the courtiers, but also the blessing of the people." Yan Yan knelt down and made a formal salute.
After hearing these words, the queen mother's eyes turned slightly red, and she said to Aunt Rong on the side: "Ah Rong, you go and get two packs of bird's nest sent from the south a few days ago to this child, look at this little face is thin, sallow, and sallow, and get her two new Weaving Gold Luo this year, those clothes are too fancy, the mourning family is old, and it is not suitable." ”
"The Queen Mother is not old, and the Queen Mother has to live a long life." Yan Yan said hurriedly.
"I can't imagine that if I live to see you all have a good home, I will be content with my mourning family." The Queen Mother sighed.
"There will be such a day." Yan Yan solemnly promised.
The Queen Mother looked at Yan Yan thoughtfully, and was about to open her mouth to ask, when the eunuch outside the door said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”
"Quick." When the Queen Mother heard that her favorite grandson Li Ji was coming, she hurriedly stood up.
As soon as the words fell, I saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man come in and kneel down a few steps in front of Yan Yan, "Grandson asks the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, is the imperial grandmother okay?" ”
"Okay, get up, come, let the imperial grandmother take a good look, did you suffer from this trip, when did you come back, how did you do this errand?" The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to help Li Ji up, and said while looking up and down.
"When I first entered the palace, I wanted to see my father, but when I heard that my father was at the emperor's grandmother's place, my grandson came over." Li Ji freed his hand to help the Queen Mother sit down, and began to talk about what he had seen and heard along the way.
Yan Yan knew that the prince had just returned from Hangzhou, and he was going to raise grain, because there was a flood near the capital, and most of the grain could not be harvested, so the emperor sent him to Jiangnan to have a look and inspect the harvest in Jiangnan this year.
Yan Yan saw that he hadn't seen the pair of grandchildren for a long time, and it was inconvenient for him to stay, so he offered to leave.
Li Ji realized that there was an extra person on the ground, and it didn't seem right to say that, he had already found that there was a person kneeling on the ground, but he saw that his grandmother didn't mention it, and the other party was a young woman, so he couldn't stare at the little girl, so he could only ignore it for the time being.
But when he saw Yan Yan speak, and saw Aunt Rong coming out with a bunch of things, he carefully distinguished, "You, are you Yan'er's sister?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, yes." Yan Yan's memory still has the impression of playing with each other when he was a child.
It's just that as they grew older, men and women were different, and the two rarely met, but no matter what, there was still a little bit of affection when she was a child, and Yan Yan still remembered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protected her a lot.
"I was looking for you, what the hell is going on, as soon as I entered Beijing, I heard that you hanged yourself and came back to life? It seems that this matter has something to do with Lu Ming's kid? Li Ji asked.
Yan Yan glanced at the Queen Mother, who obviously didn't want the prince to get involved, "Okay, your sister has also knelt for a long time, and your father has just trained her here for a long time, and this matter has been resolved." ”
"What the hell is going on? How was it solved? The imperial grandmother, the grandson is also the prince, this matter is not just a matter of the sister's relatives, right? It must involve the Yan and Lu families, what is the matter, let my grandson listen to it, and my grandson will also learn and grow. Li Ji shook the Queen Mother's hand like when he was a child.
"Okay, okay, don't stun me, if you want to listen, let your sister talk to you." The Queen Mother was relieved.
The main reason is that she feels that Yan Yanti's request is a bit excessive, and she just wants to hear Li Ji's thoughts.
Seeing this, Yan Yan had to tell the matter from the beginning, and when it came to the forced marriage of the Lu family, Li Ji couldn't help but interrupt Yan Yan.
"What? Is this also something that people do? Imperial grandmother, you praise that kid for how smart, erudite, and righteous he is, I see it is nothing more than that, if he is really an understanding person, he should not have taken Lu You to his sister's house that day, and after the accident, not only did he not admit his mistake at the first time, but blamed his cousin for not being disrespectful in front of others, is this his cousin's fault? Now that he saw that his cousin had come back from the dead, he pretended to propose that he was willing to fulfill the marriage contract, and if his sister was a backbone, she should refuse him. ”
"Your sister is not only backbone, but also asks the Lu family to admit their mistakes on the spot and make amends before agreeing to withdraw from the family." The Queen Mother only has a little headache when she thinks about it.
Mrs. Lu Yipin, this head is so low?
Taking a step back, even if the Lu family lowers its head, what can it be? What if Yan Yan still marries the Lu family in the end?
