Chapter 16: Tacit

Ye Minghuan was practicing swords today, it was May, the climate was already a little hot, the sun was not too big in the morning, but it was still scorching and falling on the school field, which was very steaming. She had just finished fighting the sword with her father, and Ye Shaochuan couldn't help but praise her a few words when he saw her swordsmanship improving. Ye Minghuan happily took the handkerchief handed by Ruyue and wiped his sweat, took a sip of the herbal tea she specially prepared, and was about to dance again, when he suddenly saw a maid running in in a panic, "Hello to the master, miss." ”

"What's wrong, so flustered?" Ye Shaochuan asked. The maid settled down, and replied softly, "Back to the master, Ying Niangniang in the palace sent someone to send a message of worship and invited the young lady into the palace for a while." Ye Shaochuan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this Concubine Ying has never had any connection with Ye Fu, why did she suddenly want Huan'er to enter the palace? Could it be that this girl is causing some trouble?

Thinking of this, he glanced back at Ye Minghuan slightly. But he saw that his little daughter was blinking with a pair of big eyes, looking at him innocently and strangely. No matter what is going on, let her enter the palace first, so as not to blame Niangniang in a hurry. He cleared his throat and said, "Huan'er, Concubine Ying is invited, then you can go back to bathe and change your clothes quickly." You can't let the mother wait. Ye Minghuan nodded yes, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ye Shaochuan, "The palace is not as good as the outside, be careful in what you say and do." Don't be capricious. Ye Minghuan nodded again, and smiled at Ye Shaochuan again, "Knowing Daddy, don't worry." ”

Ye Minghuan burned incense, bathed and changed clothes, and sat in front of the bronze mirror to dress up. After a series of processes, she was already sleepy, "It's so troublesome to enter the palace." I have to wear so much, hey..."She held a fan and shook it as she complained. "Miss, don't complain, this palace lady invites, you can't go." Ruyue persuaded and brought her a full moon hosta. "I know," Ye Minghuan sighed, "how long will you be." She knocked on the dresser with a fan irritably, and looked at herself who was coated with grease powder in the bronze mirror and had a golden hairpin and jade ring, and was a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay," Ruyue stuck the last step on her head, and hurriedly helped her up, "Miss, let's go." Pay attention to your demeanor. Ye Minghuan let out a long sigh and pursed his mouth. But the moment she left the room, she immediately cheered up again, smiled, and moved lightly.

The sedan chair swayed and carried her to the palace, and she was already sleepy, and she was even more sleepy. She kept yawning in the sedan chair, and she was afraid that the tears overflowing from the yawning would put on makeup, so she kept carefully wiping the corners of her eyes with a square handkerchief. Finally arrived at the palace, she got off the sedan chair and walked towards Shulan Palace with the support of Ruyue.

It was noon, the sun was in full bloom, and the wind was slightly hot, gently caressing the grass and trees in the palace, and the red walls and bricks. Her steps are swaying, and the hem of her skirt is gently swaying in the wind, swaying and fragrant, and the rings are tinkling. The palace people who passed by were all surprised to see her, and they all said in their hearts that this is a young lady, who is so beautiful and bright.

Finally, she arrived at Shulan Palace. She saluted Concubine Ying respectfully, "Ye Jiaming is happy to see Concubine Ying." "Ouch, get up, hurry up." When Concubine Ying saw her coming, she immediately got up and stepped forward to help her. "Thank you, Concubine Ying." She whispered again. The two sat down politely, and although the two were chatting, they both looked at each other.

Concubine Ying saw Ye Minghuan's bright eyes and bright teeth, and her smile was bright, and she said in her heart that she really responded to her name, bright and cheerful. I also saw that she was not like the nonsense and recklessness that outsiders had rumored, and she didn't know how to be polite. On the contrary, he is knowledgeable and reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant. The heart is even more joyful.

And Ye Minghuan was also looking at Concubine Ying. The woman in front of her, although she is a half-old, has a little bit of a little daughter's coquettishness in her eyes. There is also a sense of charm in the smile, and the voice is also glutinous. Although her skin is a little loose and there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her facial features are still beautiful. No wonder the emperor likes her, Ye Minghuan sighed in his heart, the palace concubines next to her are all dignified and magnificent, such as the emperor and queen, and she is so charming, it is really rare.

After Concubine Ying finished chatting with her, she gradually began to get to the point, "Ming Huan, you are also more than 4,000 years old this year. There are many girls in the fairy world who are already married at your age. Your father is a martial arts practitioner, and he is often busy with border affairs, and he will inevitably not think about your marriage, but you have to remember it yourself, and look for boys. Concubine Ying said earnestly.

Ye Minghuan heard her say this, and said in her heart that she had finally entered the topic. She first thanked her mother for her concern, and then whispered, "The marriage of my daughter's family depends on the elders in the family. Since Daddy is not in a hurry, Ming Huan is not in a hurry. Ming Huan is the only daughter in the family, and she should inherit the family business and the legacy of her ancestors, and she is determined to be on the battlefield. ”

Concubine Ying was originally holding a cup of tea, drinking it elegantly, and when she heard her say that she wanted to inherit the family business and the legacy of her ancestors, she was determined to be on the battlefield, and the action of drinking tea paused, sure enough, after this Ye Mansion, it will be handed over to Ye Minghuan. This daughter-in-law, she has to decide. Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth again, then put down the teacup, and said with some disgust, "How can a girl's family go to the battlefield." It is still the right way to get married, and to teach your husband and children in the house. ”

Ye Minghuan didn't refute, but just smiled slightly. "Ming Huan, do you have a favorite man in your heart now?" Concubine Ying said tentatively. Ye Minghuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart crossed the picture when Ling Xuanlan saved himself that day. But in a moment, he still rejected this idea and replied, "No." ”

The joy in Concubine Ying's heart is even worse, it's good if she doesn't have it, it's good if she doesn't have it. "It's going to be the summer festival soon, and all the boys and girls of all the families will come. This year, the emperor and queen have asked the emperor for instructions and are ready to do a big job. In the morning, there are keju, sword competitions, and in the afternoon, there is riding and shooting. In the evening, the ladies of each family will also perform, and you are also ready to prepare and show off. ”

Although Ye Minghuan has studied dance and piano skills, he is really not interested in this kind of limelight. However, since Concubine Ying said so, she couldn't refuse. All she could say yes was.

While the two were chatting tacitly here, Ling Xuanlan also arrived at the Fengyi Palace of the Emperor and Empress.
