Chapter 48: A Chance Encounter
In the past, Yan Lingyue didn't feel how good Yan Mansion was, and even because of her second aunt Yan Zhihe, and Yan Yiran's attitude towards her so many years before, she was a little tired of Yan Mansion.
But when she really stepped out of the Yan Mansion and married into the palace, she felt how free her life was in the Yan Mansion, and she wanted to go out shopping, and she could yell when she was annoyed, and even if she jumped around the Listening Rain Pavilion twice when she was happy, no one would pay attention to her. But now that he lives in Ming Hanxuan, he either meets the prince and princess or the concubine of which palace when he goes out, and he has to think about everything he says and does. nested in Ming Hanxuan, and Xiuchuan dangled in front of her all day long. One day is like this, two days are still like this, Yan Lingyue wants to go crazy.
What's more, in the past two days, she has not seen Wang Laojushi. Listening to Zhou Ziyu, he seemed to have gone out of the palace to pay tribute to his relatives.
The only thing to be happy about is that the third day is the day she returns home.
Yan Lingyue had never looked forward to returning to Yan Mansion like this. Thinking of Mama Li and the four girls, she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly back. Early in the morning, he jumped up from the bed and blasted Zhou Ziyu up. Dressed up, brought the gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, and the group left the palace non-stop.
At the moment when the carriage stepped out of the palace gate, Yan Lingyue lifted the curtain and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Yue, Yue'er, if you want to feel stuffy in the palace, we can go out and walk around often," Zhou Ziyu said.
Yan Lingyue tugged at the corners of her mouth. Zhou Ziyu is the prince, and he leaves the palace twice in three days, and no one will say anything. But if she also goes out of the palace with her, I'm afraid she will provoke gossip.
After that, did she lose her freedom?
Yan Lingyue leaned against the wall of the car, looked at the small vendors on both sides of the street, and sighed. She is not afraid of losing her freedom, she is afraid that even if she enters the palace and loses her freedom, she will not find a chance to take revenge.
Every time she thought of this, Yan Lingyue was out of breath. If the old monk Wang didn't surrender, he would definitely have a way. It's a pity...... Yan Lingyue tightened her palm.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziyu quietly held Yan Lingyue's hand.
Yan Mansion.
The people who had already received the news had been waiting outside the Yanfu Gate for a long time. From the moment Yan Lingyue married into the palace, she was not the young lady of the Yan family, she was the concubine of the Nine Emperor Emperors and the daughter-in-law of the king. No matter who the Yan family is, even if it is an old lady, she has to salute Yan Lingyue when she sees her again.
When the carriage of the Nine Emperor Princes stopped at the gate of the Yan Mansion, and Zhou Ziyu helped Yan Lingyue to walk down from the carriage, everyone in the Yan Mansion saluted.
"Grandmother, Daddy is really tormented," Yan Lingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Zhou Ziyu, who has never been very enthusiastic about Yan Yiran, also said politely, "We will all be a family in the future, and my father-in-law must not see each other like this." ”
"No, don't dare," Zhou Ziyu treated him politely for the first time, and Yan Yiran was a little flattered.
It wasn't until the group entered the front hall and sat down that Yan Lingyue looked around and realized that the third aunt didn't seem to be there.
"Where's the third aunt?" Yan Lingyue looked at Yan Xiling and Yan Qingning. Although the third aunt is already Mrs. Yan, Yan Lingyue is still used to the title of third aunt.
Yan Xiling and Yan Qingning glanced at each other, then looked at Yan Yiran, they both lowered their heads, and no one said a word.
"Daddy?" Yan Lingyue felt strange.
Yan resolutely sighed, and Yan Li'an, who was standing beside the old lady, opened her mouth, "Yes, it's because my mother ......"
Yan Lingyue only then knew that on the day of her wedding, the second aunt made a big fuss in the backyard, begging the old lady to let her out, she would definitely eat fasting and chant Buddha, atone for her past sins, and pray for the blessings of Yan Zhihe and Yan Li'an.
Originally, the old lady disagreed, but the second aunt cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, and even hit the pillar to splash blood on the spot. Seeing Yan Li'an hugging her second aunt and crying like a tearful person, the old lady softened. What's more, it was the big day of Yanfu's marriage of her daughter, and the old lady agreed to the second aunt's request after pondering. Two guards were also sent to guard her.
In the past two days, the second aunt has been very honest and has been worshipping the Buddha in the ancestral hall in a regular manner. The old lady thought that the second aunt was truly repentant, so she let the two guards retreat. Who would have thought that that night, the second aunt stabbed the third aunt who went to the ancestral hall to deliver food.
Yan Lingyue was surprised when she heard this. After all, Yan Zhihe had just committed an accident, she thought that the second aunt would definitely never be able to get out of that small courtyard again, she never thought that the second aunt would be released! I really don't know whether to say that the second aunt is capable, or whether to say that Yan Li'an has a big face.
The old lady also regretted it, "It's all my grandmother's fault, otherwise Lan'er wouldn't have been hurt." ”
The two sisters, Yan Xiling and Yan Qingning, listened to it and sobbed quietly.
Yan resolutely frowned and said unhappily, "What are you crying about?" Your mother's life is not in danger! Today is a good day for your five sisters to return home, and no one can say anything sad. ”
Yan resolutely lost his temper, and Yan Xiling and Yan Qingning both closed their mouths.
"Is the third aunt seriously injured?" Yan Lingyue asked.
Yan resolutely sighed, "On weekdays, I see that you get along well with your aunt. Now that you're back, let's go and have a look. ”
"That's nature," Yan Lingyue immediately stood up.
Zhou Ziyu saw that Yan Lingyue was leaving, and she also stood up, "I'm also going to visit the third aunt." ”
There is no need to accompany the Nine Emperor Princes, Yan resolutely was happy and clean, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go." ”
When Yan Lingyue and Zhou Ziyu came to the third aunt's yard, the third aunt was lying on the bed recuperating from her injuries.
As soon as she heard that the Nine Emperors were coming, the third aunt struggled to get up.
Yan Lingyue hurriedly stopped, "Auntie take care of it and lie down." ”
Yan Xiling and Yan Qingning also complained, "Mother, don't move, your body is the most important." ”
The third aunt said "hey", and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, "It's all my fault, if I wasn't nosy, I had to go to the ancestral hall to deliver food, how could I make such a fuss." ”
"Let everyone worry about it," the third aunt picked up the silk handkerchief and tried it.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhou Ziyu actually spoke, "The third aunt sends food, kindness, kindness." The second aunt and Yan Zhihe are bad people. They bullied Yue'er, and Zi and Ziyu didn't like them either. ”
These words can be regarded as speaking to the third aunt's heart. What's more, it was said by the Nine Emperor Princes, who are the most favored today, that as soon as the third aunt was excited, tears fell again.
Yan Lingyue glanced at Zhou Ziyu, and whispered into the third aunt's ear, "Actually, the third aunt should feel lucky." If the second aunt hadn't stabbed you, maybe she would have been forgiven by her grandmother and father by now, and with Yan Li'an by her side, wouldn't the third aunt be afraid that the second aunt would come back? ”
The third aunt was stunned.
Yan Lingyue patted the third aunt's hand.
With Zhou Ziyu following, the third aunt naturally couldn't stay with Yan Lingyue for longer, so after a little reminiscence, she let Yan Lingyue leave.
Yan Lingyue pulled Zhou Ziyu and went back to Tingyu Pavilion directly.
At that time, Mama Li and the four maids were packing their luggage.
Originally, on the day of Yan Lingyue's wedding, they should have followed into the palace, but Mama Li's legs were not good yet. The four maids didn't go through anything, and the old lady was not at ease without Mama Li by her side. So, he kept them for a few more days. During this period, I also specially invited an old lady who had been in the palace to teach them the rules.
After a few days of absence, when I saw my own young lady again, the four maids came forward to chatter and pay some attention, and they were worried that Yan Lingyue would be wronged in the palace.
On the other hand, Mama Li is very calm.
"With the Nine Emperors here, no one can bully our young lady." If she hadn't had confidence in the Nine Emperor Princes, let alone crutches, even if she worked hard, she would have followed Yan Lingyue's sedan chair into the palace.
Mama Li's words amused Zhou Ziyu.
"Yes, yes, with Ziyu here, no one can bully Yue'er," Zhou Ziyu patted his chest and said.
provoked Yan Lingyue to laugh out loud.
After having lunch in Yanfu, the group took a carriage back to the palace. Coincidentally, when the carriage reached the central street, it happened to run into the carriage of the old man Wang.
Far away, Zhou Ziyu waved his hand and shouted to Mr. Wang, "Master, Master, ......"
At first, Yan Lingyue hadn't reacted until Mr. Wang lifted the curtains and poked his head out. The moment she saw Old Monk Wang, Yan Lingyue's body slammed into a slam. In the past, the picture of Wang Laoju playing chess with her father poured into her mind.
At that time, in addition to her father, queen mother, and brother, she was closest to Wang Laojushi.
Even if Wang Lao Jushi always likes to beat her palms with a board when he checks her homework, Wang Lao Jushi is the only one who dares to take her out of the palace to teach her to ride a horse and shoot arrows despite her father's opposition, although in the end she did not learn very well.
Thinking about it, Yan Lingyue's eyes were full of tears.
So why did the old monk Wang, who was loyal to her father and loved her, surrender to King Zhou? You must know that King Zhou also killed Wang Lao's family! How can Mr. Wang tolerate it?!
The distance between the carriage and the carriage was getting closer and closer, and Yan Lingyue's heart was becoming more and more uncertain.
When she hadn't seen Mr. Wang before, when she heard Zhou Ziyu say that Mr. Wang had surrendered, she was so angry that she couldn't wait to run in front of Mr. Wang, pointing at his nose and scolding. But when she really saw Old Monk Wang, the anger in Yan Lingyue's heart and the hatred in her heart couldn't be mentioned at all.
Her father is gone, her mother is gone, everyone she knows in the Beiyan royal family is gone, and Wang Lao Jushi can be said to be the only survivor. Looking at Wang Lao Jushi, Yan Lingyue seemed to see her father and queen mother, where did she still have the heart to resent.
Wang Lao, who had greeted Zhou Ziyu, saw Yan Lingyue's eyes staring at him without blinking, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Wang Renzhong has seen the Nine Emperor Princesses," Wang Lao Jushi bowed his hand and saluted Yan Lingyue with a smile.
But it was this cute smile that made Yan Lingyue feel uncomfortable. You must know that in the past, Wang Lao Jushi would only smile so amiably when he saw her.
