Chapter Ninety-One: A Night of Shock
Old Mrs. Jiao Pan bowed slightly to Jimo Hanfei and spoke loudly: "This scene is indeed a farce, but because of this farce, the old body has finally seen everything clearly, Yu Zhen is a poor child who has been framed everywhere, but with the protection of the prince in the future, he must be happy." So the old body thinks...... The prince can take Yu Zhen away now. Then ......" Old Lady Jiao Pan said, and looked at Jiao Youhan, who had a bad face in the crowd, "The Taoist leader invited by Youhan this time is very powerful, so let the Taoist chief give Youhan and the housekeeper Uncle Cai to drive away the evil spirit." ”
"Grandmother......" Jiao Youhan suddenly stepped forward with tears in his eyes, "Grandmother, Youhan doesn't know anything, this is ...... This is the ...... arranged by Mama An Rong."
Old Mrs. Jiao Pan glanced at the old lady Jiao Anrong beside her, and the old lady Jiao Anrong bowed her head slightly, and then looked at the old Taoist priest: "He is indeed invited back by the old slave, but he is not the Taoist head of Baiyun Temple." ”
"Yes, poor Daoist ......" The old Taoist priest's voice paused, and then turned into a light young male voice, "Actually, the little one is just a play, it's just the old lady who asked the little one to come back and practice." ”
Jiao Youhan glanced at the old Taoist chief with a pale face, and then at the old lady Jiao Pan, and finally struggled to the death: "Youhan...... I don't know anything......"
"Again." Old Mrs. Jiao Pan interrupted Jiao Youhan's words, "The so-called family ugliness is not publicized, you still don't continue to make noise, you lose your dignity." ”
Old Madam Jiao said this seriously, Jiao Youhan didn't dare to speak, and fell into the arms of Shui Se.
"Old Madam Jiao, all this is really a good means." Ji Mo Hanfei understood in an instant, he whistled, and the horse walked over quickly, "Then I will leave with my future princess first." Catkins, take your young lady on the horse. ”
"Yes, lord." Although Liu Wu didn't know what was going on, she still nodded obediently and got on the horse with Jiao Yuzhen.
"Old Madam Jiao, this king will leave first." Even Mo Hanfei also turned over and got on the horse, and then with a shout, the horse turned his head and ran out of the road.
After Mo Hanfei left, Mrs. Jiao Pan cleared her throat, and then looked at the people in the courtyard: "The show is over, why don't you clean up, such a big smoke, the people outside think that our Jiao Taifu's mansion is on fire." ”
"Yes...... It's ......" The family members reacted and hurriedly went to extinguish the fire.
Old Mrs. Jiao Pan looked at the crowd again, but the old Taoist was gone, and only two young actors dressed as little Taoist priests were also hurriedly helping to extinguish the fire.
"Old lady, that old Taoist priest...... It doesn't seem to be the play that the old slave invited. Old Mama Jiao Anrong sighed softly, this one is like a fairy game, everyone is in the game, thinking that they can control everything and master everything, but they don't know that they are just a small chess piece in this game.
"Grandmother, what the hell ......is this" Jiao Ruyi walked over with a hesitant face, looking at the picture that ended in a hurry, he was really a little confused.
"Come in, all of you, and I'll explain it to you." Mrs. Jiao Pan's gave Mrs. Jiao Anrong a look, and Mrs. Jiao Anrong ordered someone to bring Jiao Youhan over.
The door of the inner room was closed, putting an end to the smell of smoke and fire that had not yet been extinguished and the noisy sound, and the old lady Pan sat on the main seat, with a trace of tiredness on her face that could not be concealed, but after seeing Jiao Ruzhi and Jiao Youhan both seated, she spoke slowly: "Actually, I have been thinking about whether Youhan is really suitable for you to enter the palace recently. ”
Jiao Youhan didn't expect that Old Lady Jiao Pan would suddenly say this, she looked at Pan with a pale face: "Grandmother...... I ......"
"Youhan, although you have scheming, means, and a good mother, it's a pity that your heart has never been for this family." Old Lady Jiao Pan sighed before continuing to speak, "That's why I acquiesced to your means of dealing with Yu Zhen, so that there is such a farce today, but I still don't understand, it's just a struggle in the mansion, if there is a reason to fight, everything can be said." It's just that you want to choose a concubine in the spring, and Yu Zhen is the future Prince and Princess Jing...... What else do you have to compete with her? Why did you deal with her? ”
Jiao Youhan hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Youhan didn't ...... Yu Zhen is Youhan's sister, and it's too late for Youhan to love her, how can she be the other party? ”
Jiao Youhan would never admit that the old lady of Jiao Pan had already been mentally prepared, so she didn't ask anymore, but just gave her own decision: "Youhan, your heart is not suitable to enter the palace as the daughter of the Jiao family, so I decided to marry you to the second son of Cheng Yuanwai after the New Year. ”
"Grandmother, don't want it!" Jiao Youhan got down from the chair crying, crawled to the old lady of Jiao, Pan Shi, pulled his skirt and cried, "Youhan is going to be a princess, and Youhan is going to enter the palace to be selected." If Youhan can't enter the palace, how can he help his father? ”
"Your eldest sister is married to Prince Ze, and your third sister is married to Prince Jing, if you also enter the palace, I am afraid that it will add variables to our Jiao family." Old Mrs. Jiao Pan shook the hem of her clothes and pushed Jiao Youhan away, "What our Jiao family can do above the government is not to be suspicious by the emperor, if the three daughters of our Jiao family have a connection with the royal family, it is strange that the emperor does not suspect us, so since your sisters have already had a fixed number, we can only wronged you." You are the daughter of the Jiao family, and you should sacrifice yourself for the Jiao family. ”
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Jiao Youhan, she sat on the ground in a daze, and all her previous efforts and arrangements came to mind, each of which was for herself to one day cross the dragon into a phoenix, in order to be able to deal with Jiao Ruzhi and Jiao Yuzhen so high-spiritedly, and fight for her mother, but now her grandmother's words will negate all her efforts?
"As it is." Old Madam Jiao Pan looked at Jiao Ruzhi, who had been sitting on the side and did not speak, "You can take the key to the house first." In the future, you will become Prince Ze's princess, but you have to take good care of Yu Zhen. ”
"Yes......" Jiao Ruzhi showed a smile, but there was no trace of pity in his eyes when he looked at Jiao Youhan.
When Jiao Yuzhen woke up, he almost instinctively felt a big lazy waist, but after putting down his arm, he found that he was not in his room: "This is ...... Where? ”
Jiao Yuzhen remembered that she had seen Qingyu before she fell asleep, but naturally she didn't know anything after falling asleep, but when she woke up, she found that she had changed places again, what the hell was going on, she always felt that she had missed something.
"You're awake." Jimo Hanfei, who had been sitting next to the window, put down the teacup in his hand and turned his face sideways to face the direction of the bed, "The future princess of this king." ”
Jiao Yuzhen sat up from the bed with a carp, and looked at Jimo Hanfei who was not wearing a mask or hiding his blindness in surprise.
"Lord Wang...... Why am I here? Jiao Yuzhen was not carried away by beauty, she still remembered the truth that "the head of the color word is like a knife", after all, the wound behind her still tried very hard to remind her.
"This matter is also a farce...... that is, Mo Hanfei paused, and then spoke slowly, "Before explaining all this, this king wants to tell you a not-so-good news, that is, your grandmother, Old Madam Jiao, may be dead soon, so she arranged everything in such a hurry. Today, she even listened to the words of Jiao Youhan, the second lady of Jiao, and invited a Taoist priest to say that she wanted to exorcise evil spirits and burn you. If it hadn't been for the catkins who had invited this king, you would have been burned to death. This time...... It can be regarded as the king's return to the kindness of the last time you blocked the sword for the king at the palace banquet. ”
"You're so stingy." Jiao Yuzhen pouted, "I actually want to be burned to death, so what about later?" How can you think that my grandmother will die soon, so you have to let the second sister deal with me, maybe the second sister secretly persuaded my grandmother to take this opportunity to kick me out of the house. You have brought me out now, but I am afraid that the key to the house will fall into the hands of the second sister. ”
"No, because if Old Madam Jiao still wanted to keep the second miss, she wouldn't scold her in front of so many people." Even Mo Hanfei didn't want to continue to explain this matter, he got up from the chair, walked in the direction of the bed with ease, and then groped around the bed and sat down, and then stretched out his hand to probe Jiao Yuzhen's forehead very accurately, "You don't have a fever anymore, it seems that sleeping so well is indeed very effective, but do you remember how you fell asleep?" ”
"I ......" Thinking of Qingyu, Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly withdrew the words from his mouth, "I'm just asleep because of a fever." ”
Jimo Hanfei naturally noticed that Jiao Yuzhen was inappropriate for a moment, but he didn't break it: "Old Madam Jiao is very smart, on the one hand, she has insight into the current situation, and on the other hand, she feels that she has not been alive for a long time, so she has to do this." You are the future princess of this king, this is already an unchangeable fact, but the relationship between Prince Ze and the eldest lady has also been made public, and the emperor has to give marriage, and because of this, the identity of Mrs. Jiao suddenly became very embarrassing. Miss Jiao Er has already been included in the list to enter the palace after the beginning of spring, and there is no special event that cannot change this, Mrs. Jiao made a choice, she chose you and the eldest lady, and gave up the second miss, so she especially obeyed the things arranged by the second miss, and made a farce, so that you and the eldest lady profited from it. It's just that I think...... The emperor's hands and feet will be faster and more decisive than that of Old Madam Jiao. ”
After listening to Jimo Hanfei's words, Jiao Yuzhen probably understood the ins and outs of the matter, so she wondered that day, she was still holding the housekeeper's key, how could Jiao Youhan enter her house and toss her so easily? It turned out that this was the arrangement of Mrs. Jiao's Pan, no wonder Jiao Youhan beat her like that, and no one knew.
It's just that......
"Lord, why do you say that the emperor's hands and feet are faster? If he is really worried about the power of our Jiao family, in fact, as long as the second sister is not allowed to enter the palace to pick up selection, it will not be so troublesome......"
Before Jiao Yuzhen's words were finished, a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes hurriedly ran in, knelt down in front of the bed and kowtowed: "Little Hulin, please say hello to the prince and Miss Jiao San." ”
Jimo Hanfei frowned slightly, but he still spoke unhurriedly: "Hulin is my close friend, you have seen it before." ”
Jiao Yuzhen sneered in her heart, and looked the little guy called Hou Lin in front of her up and down, she immediately found that this Hu Lin looked very similar to the person named Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is Jimo Hanfei is also the close attendant of Han Yue Gongzi, but Jimo Hanfei didn't want to show his identity as Han Yue's son, so he changed to a little guy who looked very similar to Xiao Yi.
