374 Alienation and unaffordability
"In addition, Hua Shizi and Lord Ning Ji Ning of the Huaguo Mansion, Hua Shizi is now the commander of Nancheng, and it is said that his people are very different from the past, and he is very stable and reliable."
A year ago, Hua Shao suddenly returned to the capital, Ye Qingcheng went to Emperor Zhao of Shude, and counted the exploits made by the Huaguo Mansion since the founding of the Great Xiao Dynasty, as well as the sons and soldiers who sacrificed for the stability of the Great Xiao Frontier, and bitterly Chen Huaguo Mansion is now in decline and desolate, Hua Shao was forced to flee the desolation of the capital, and implored Emperor Dezhao to protect Hua Shao.
Emperor Dezhao was greatly moved, and appointed Hua Shao as the commander of the five cities of Soldiers and Horses, and Hua Shao also did the same.
Of course, this is only a matter on the surface, secretly, people in Beijing are speculating that Emperor Dezhao is cultivating strength for Ye Qingcheng, after all, Ye Qingcheng grew up in the people since he was a child, and the relationship with the Huaguo Mansion is another layer apart, and Emperor Dezhao has no choice but to borrow Hua Shao as his favor.
"Only, after all, Hua Shizi has an eldest son who is not much younger than you, and Mrs. Hua's temper is very strange and harsh, and it is not easy to get along with, but my mother very much hopes that you can marry into the Huaguo Mansionββ"
Ye Qingling coughed when she said this, and the original words of the eldest princess of Yongle were, "It's best that Ah Shu can marry into the Huaguo Mansion and make that old pious woman angry to death!" β
In fact, if it weren't for the insistence of the eldest princess Yongle and Xuan Ming, she would not want to mention Hua Shao at all, after she married into the eldest princess's mansion, she also dealt with Mrs. Hua a few times, and she felt that she didn't mention anything else, just a Mrs. Hua, there was no good family who loved her daughter and was willing to marry her daughter to Hua Shao.
"In addition, Ning Ji escorted you all the way into Beijing, presumably you are more familiar than me, so I don't need to say more, you see if there is anything you like, if not, we will look for it slowly, you are only fifteen, don't worry."
Ye Qingshu was silent, Ye Qingling couldn't help but speak again, "I looked at Ning Ji a little stunned, among the three, Xia Gongzi should be the most impeccable, otherwise, I will invite Yanyang to be the east, and invite my cousin-in-law and Xia Gongzi to come to the mansion to play?" β
"Well, otherwise, Hua Shizi and Ning Ji will also be invited, doesn't the old saying say, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods?"
Ye Qingshu, "......"
So, the eldest sister has been with Xuan Ming for a long time, and has she been taken by Xuan Ming?
Ye Qingling said and looked at Xuan Ming and Ye Qingcheng again, "What do you think of the husband and the prince?" β
Ye Qingcheng immediately vetoed, "How can the marriage event be so public? β
It's not an emperor draft! Also shop around!
Ye Qingshu nodded, "Just meet Xia San Gongzi, and I'll talk about the rest later."
Xuan Ming was disdainful, "A little white face like Xia Yan is the most unreliable, how can it be compared to my cousin?" β
Hmm, let's veto the most competitive Xia Yan first, only my cousin and Ning Ji's stunned boy are left, how could Ye Qingshu choose my cousin, right?
Ye Qingling, "......"
Sure enough, her nephew and uncle are close to each other, and she knows that asking him is also asking in vain!
Ye Qingcheng spoke again, "This matter is not urgent, inquire about it slowly."
Ye Qingling nodded, said a few more words, and then said, "It's not too early, the prince will send Ashu back for me to rest."
She subconsciously reached out and beat her waist, she was pregnant, and she was really tired after another busy day today.
Xuan Ming immediately nervously held her shoulder, "Tired?" Quick, I'll help you lie down, the imperial doctor said, you have to rest more four months ago, you have to finish the matter today, that Xia Yan can't run, and Ashu can't run......"
He didn't even look at Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingshu as he spoke, and he didn't give Ye Qingling a chance to object, so he half-supported and half-hugged Ye Qingling out of the flower hall.
Ye Qingshu, "......"
So, who is that long-tongued man just now?
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to be His Royal Highness the King of Hengyang County, who is cold-faced and silent!
Ye Qingcheng shook his head and smiled, "Ashu, let's go?" β
The two masters ran away, and no one came to ask them if they wanted a soft sedan chair, so Ye Qingshu was not embarrassed to clamo for a soft sedan chair at night, and walked to Yanyangju side by side with Ye Qingcheng.
In the soft and slightly cold spring breeze, both of them fell silent.
After a while, Ye Qingcheng spoke in a dumb voice, "Ashu, at the beginning, I really didn't want the identity of this son."
"I know".
In the night wind, Ye Qingshu's voice was flat and almost faint, Ye Qingcheng choked and said dejectedly, "Then you are ready to ignore me like this for the rest of your life?" β
Ye Qingshu was silent, and the thoughts and sufferings of more than a year turned into wisps of entwined grievances that came to his heart, Ye Qingcheng stopped abruptly and turned around to stare at her closely.
"Ashu, you said that you will not alienate me for anyone or anything, even if I become the grandson of the Dragon Emperor!"
Ye Qingshu looked up at him, his slightly raised apricot eyes were full of seriousness, "I didn't alienate you."
"You-you, it's not called estrangement, so what is estrangement?"
"The eldest sister is married to the cousin of the prince's relatives, and in the past year or so, the prince has seen the eldest sister several times, and a few times he came to see her on purpose, and said a few words to her? How many letters did you write to her? β
"How's that the sameβ"
Ye Qingshu interrupted him, "How is that different?" Shizi is my brother-in-law and the eldest sister's brother-in-law, how is it different? β
"Maybe the prince wants to say that we were closer than the son and the eldest sister before, but no matter how close we are, it was also when we were children, not to mention the righteous brothers and sisters, we are brothers and sisters, and when we grow up, we will just be like the son and the eldest sister."
"During the New Year's holidays, or when there is a big event, sit together and have a meal, talk, and then go back to their respective homes, and send their subordinates to give some gifts on the big and small festivals."
"I heard that my father and uncle loved my sister very much when my aunt and mother were young, but later, is it what I said?"
Ye Qingcheng was speechless, Ye Qingshu turned his head to look at the faint waning moon in the sky, "So, Brother Seventeen, I didn't mean to alienate you, but just grew up, grew up, and my brothers and sisters still have to avoid suspicion, let alone righteous brothers and sisters?" β
"Besides, Brother Seventeen is now the prince and has lived in the palace for a long time, can he still come to the peony courtyard every morning and evening to dine with me like before? Or, when I'm bored, I walk a few steps and go to Brother Seventeen's study to sharpen ink for Brother Seventeen, and find Brother Seventeen to kill two plates? β
"Brother Seventeen, why don't you teach me, how can I not alienate you?"
Ye Qingcheng was speechless again, unable to refute, let alone refute.
He thought that the obstacle between them was what he had become, but he didn't know that the bigger obstacle between them was the great defense of men and women, and even, it was just the distance from the Mingcui Palace to the peony courtyard!
Even if she leaves Yingchuan and returns to the capital, what will happen?
It is impossible for him to go out of the palace every morning and evening to have a meal with her, or just to see if she has slept well at night, whether she is out of bed, bored......
It is even more impossible for her to cross the palace gates to accompany him to read, write, play chess, and discuss the Tao, or just be bored and talk to him.
He thought that no matter whose son he was, no matter who he became, he would always be her brother, but he didn't know that she didn't need a brother who was an hour away from her, let alone ......
