Chapter 074: Miss Jiaoman
Just the day before yesterday, Wang Jiao'e informed Ye Yugui about the Liu family's current attitude. and bluntly said that if he didn't marry Liu Xiaorou now, then the Liu family would not be on his side in anything.
Wang Jiao'e also thought that Ye Yugui might refuse this matter, but at the critical moment, he should readily agree to it.
The result was not what Wang Jiao'e expected, although Ye Yugui thought about it for a while, he finally agreed to see Liu Xiaorou.
Wang Jiao'e also told Ye Yugui that he had to make Liu Xiaorou like him and marry him willingly. Otherwise, it would be in vain to say anything.
Early in the morning when Ye Yugui left the palace, Ye Yufu sent him to the door and asked him carefully when he would come back and gave him a few words, and then he was relieved.
After all, subconsciously, Ye Yugui is still her younger brother. But for some reason, staring at the back of Ye Yugui leaving, a trace of panic suddenly flashed in Ye Yufu's heart, and a bad premonition quietly emerged.
Ye Yugui went out of the palace this time on the pretext of visiting his sick sister for the queen, and told the prince, but he didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
Ye Yugui didn't bring any subordinates with him when he left the palace this time, as long as the two palace maids and two guards sent by Wang Jiao'e came along.
In the carriage, a palace maid sat opposite Ye Yugui, but she didn't even dare to raise her head. But his eyes couldn't help glancing at him.
These seven princes are better looking than any prince in the palace, and Rao is a palace maid who is used to seeing nobles in the queen's palace is also fluttering.
As soon as Ye Yugui got into the carriage, he leaned his head behind him and closed his eyes to recuperate. Xu felt the hot gaze of the palace maid, and Ye Yufu frowned slightly. After a while, I opened my eyes.
The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head again, holding the corner of her clothes in her hand and blushing like an apple.
Ye Yugui looked at her with interest for a while, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”
As soon as the palace maid heard Ye Yugui ask her name, her heart suddenly blossomed, and her mind had already begun to imagine the scene of herself flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix.
So she replied delicately: "The slave's name is Pei'er." ”
Ye Yugui let out a long "oh" and began to look around at the palace maid named Pei'er.
"You've been in the palace for a few years. How old"
Pei'er strongly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and replied honestly with the corners of her mouth curled: "Thanks to the care of the queen, the slave maid has been staying in the Fengyi Palace to do things, and it is now the fifth year. The slave maid had just turned fifteen last month. ”
Pei'er was so happy in her heart that she couldn't do it, she thought it was a bad errand before, after all, everyone knew that the Seven Princes were a disaster star, and they were very unpopular with the emperor and queen, but now it seems to be a pure rumor.
She thought about how she would show off to her little sisters when she returned to the palace.
Ye Yugui read her inner thoughts from Pei'er's eyes from the very beginning, he has seen enough people who are attached to this kind of climbing flame, one more, no more, no less. It can also come in handy in the future.
"Good. I remember you. ”
Liufu is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, with a huge area. The mansion is magnificent, with a red plaque engraved with the word "Liufu" in gold. You can see it from afar.
As soon as the carriage where Ye Yugui was sitting arrived, someone came out of Liufuzhong to greet him.
He was greeted by a man in his fifties, with a long beard and a kind face.
But Ye Yugui was not deceived by his appearance, generally the more harmless people like humans and animals, the deeper they were hidden. Those eyes are full of human sophistication, and although they are just a glance, they seem to be able to see through people.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, I really look up for a long time, come in with the old slave, Madame has been waiting for a long time."
After he said this, he let a small servant standing beside him lead the way, and then whispered a word to another servant standing behind him with a low brow.
Ye Yugui didn't even need to think about it to know that he had sent someone to inform the queen.
The inside of the Liu Mansion does not look as luxurious as it seems, although there are many houses, but it is not luxurious, and I think this Liu Shang is really a person.
It has always been that if the Liufu is extravagant and prosperous inside and outside, it will definitely attract the suspicion of the emperor and think that he is disrespectful to the ministers.
However, the appearance of Liufu is magnificent, which shows that the favor is strong, and the second is that it represents the identity.
The simplicity on the inside also means that the official is honest and does not like luxury. I really think about it a lot.
It has always made sense that this Liu Mansion does not support itself, and Liu Shang has always been the emperor's faction. has never blatantly participated in the battle of the prince, and it is this that makes Ye Duanli very relieved.
Although Liu Shang is a civil official, the power in his hands is of great importance to any prince. He said one word in front of the emperor is worth ten words from others.
Although the throne is now in Ye Yushen's pocket, Ye Yugui has stayed by Ye Yushen's side all year round and knows ten out of ten about him.
And I have to say that although Ye Duanli doesn't like him, he knows Ye Duanli very well.
Although Ye Duanli looks like a benevolent and friendly benevolent monarch on the face, how can he be a kind-hearted person who has the ability to win the throne. He could see that Ye Duanli was full of love for Ye Yushen, but he was never satisfied with his ability.
Ye Yugui was led all the way to the main hall, Liu Shang and Wang Jiaofan were standing at the door at the door of the hall, and when they saw Ye Yuguidu saluting politely.
Ye Yugui hurriedly stepped forward to let the two of them get up, and his words were close: "It's all a family, why be so unfamiliar." The queen mother told me that my aunt and she had a good relationship since childhood, and it was the same when I saw my aunt. ”
Liu Shang nodded with satisfaction, stood still, stroked the wrinkles on his body and said to Wang Jiaofan on the side: "Madam, take the Seventh Prince to walk around, I still have some things in the court, and I should be able to come back before dinner." ”
Wang Jiaofan answered, and then tidied up the collar for Liu Shang.
For almost half an hour, Wang Jiaofan led Ye Yufu around Liufu, and it seemed that he was asking for warmth on the road, but in fact it was a continuous temptation.
Ye Yugui's performance throughout the whole process was flawless, playing the image of a perfect prince. Wang Jiaofan also quickly understood why Wang Jiao'e could put the bet on him at such a critical juncture.
So in a few words, Wang Jiaofan changed the title of Ye Yugui from the Seventh Prince to Gui'er.
Not far away, a woman on the rockery whispered to the maid behind her.
"Who is that man over there, and how did he appear in Liufu."
The maid squinted her eyes, looked at it for a long time, and then replied, "Miss Hui, that's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, it seems that he came to visit Madame for the queen's mother." ”
"Coming for the Imperial Aunt?"
The maid smiled: "Yes, miss, speaking of which, the Seventh Prince is also your cousin like the Third Prince." ”
Liu Xiaorou saw Ye Yugui at a glance from a distance, and was shocked at a glance, there are a lot of good men in Beijing, she has also seen the three princes many times before, but she is slightly inferior to this person.
She began to make a silent calculation in her heart, planning to see if this cousin with a shocking face was as good as his appearance.
As soon as the maid on the side saw Liu Xiaorou's appearance, she knew that she had started to make some bad calculations again.
So when Wang Jiaofan took Ye Yugui to the vicinity of the rockery, Liu Xiaorou suddenly screamed and jumped out from behind the rockery.
But Ye Yugui had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't react, but Wang Jiaofan, who was standing next to him, was frightened.
When he saw that it was Liu Xiaorou, he breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately glared at him and began to reprimand Liu Xiaorou: "Rou'er! How many times have you said for your mother, as the eldest lady of the Liu family, don't always do this kind of thing to lower your status. This is the Seventh Prince, the son of your imperial aunt, and your cousin. ”
Liu Xiaorou has a delicate and lovely face, round almond eyes, a small mouth, a standard goose egg face, and her hair is loosely tied in a bun, with a lot of silver beads on it. He wears a goose-yellow narrow-sleeved placket jacket with a white cotton skirt underneath. The complexion on the lining face is excellent.
She ignored Wang Jiaofan's words and asked Ye Yugui directly: "Why weren't you scared." ”
Wang Jiaofan hurriedly frowned and patted Liu Xiaorou's arm: "You kid ......"
Ye Yugui stopped, "Auntie, don't worry, I think my cousin is just joking with me." ”
Liu Xiaorou ignored Wang Jiaofan's eyes as if she was going to eat her, and still didn't give up: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”
Ye Yugui squinted and glanced at the white cotton dress on her body.
"You didn't hide well enough, I found you from the beginning."
"You're a liar! I've hidden it, you can't find it! It's not like you're scared stupid and don't react. ”
Wang Jiaofan kept staring at Liu Xiaorou on the side, but she still couldn't stop her chattering and asking.
Ye Yugui was never impatient, nor did he care about Liu Xiaorou's lack of etiquette.
"You just went to the pool. And just now behind the rockery, the maid's shoes behind you are not hidden, and the pink thorns of the shoes have a green chrysanthemum pattern. ”
When Wang Jiaofan heard this, he hurriedly looked at the maid behind him, and just wanted to say to Ye Yugui that my maid's shoes had already been exposed, who would believe you when you said pink.
But looking down, her personal maid was wearing a skirt that was long enough to mop the floor, and she would definitely not be able to see it unless she took the initiative to stick out her feet. Not to mention looking at the pattern on the shoe, you can't even guess what color it is.
"Even if you guess the shoes my maid is wearing, how can you say that I came from the pond?"
"You have dark brown dirt on the hem of your skirt, and the only color and moistness in this whole house is by the pond."
Liu Xiaorou is completely speechless now, and no one has been able to say anything about her so far. She was angry and didn't know where to vent.
Ye Yugui said again: "But if you want to scare me, next time you say it directly, I will definitely cooperate." ”
After speaking, he tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled with his eyebrows spread, and looked at Liu Xiaorou deeply with those beautiful black eyes like jewels.
Liu Xiaorou blushed when she was stared at, and muttered, "Count you smart." ”
During lunch, Liu Xiaorou sat next to Ye Yugui, holding chopsticks in her hand, but the rice in the bowl didn't go down at all, and she couldn't help but peek at Ye Yugui.
Ye Yugui's eating posture is also excellent, his waist is straight, his posture with chopsticks is standard, and the slightly bulging bones on the back of his hand are good-looking and tight.
As the food entered his throat, the Adam's apple in the middle of his neck went up and down.
Liu Xiaorou just looked at it for a while, but she didn't realize that the rice in her bowl was ruined.
Wang Jiaofan was even more annoyed on the side, none of her two children were worry-free. A blatant protest and escape from marriage, I don't know where I ran now. And the other is brutal and willful, taking pleasure in playing with others.
Ye Yugui didn't seem to see Liu Xiaorou's eyes that kept peeking, but suddenly began to pick up vegetables for her.
Liu Xiaorou didn't have much appetite, but in a blink of an eye, the dishes in the bowl were all her favorite food.
So I subconsciously asked, "How do you know I love these?" ”
Ye Yugui put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his mouth: "I saw that you only picked up these few dishes, so I wrote them down." ”
His voice was low, and word by word went straight into Liu Xiaorou's heart. Let her heart beat non-stop.
She blushed before she lowered her head and began to pick up the dishes in the bowl.
Before the meal was over, a guard guarding the door outside suddenly came to report.
"Madam, the eldest young master came back just now!"
