Peiying and Yushan cried for half a night, and they fell asleep at dawn. However, she didn't sleep long, although Mu Yunge allowed her not to enter the palace overnight, but she didn't say that she didn't have to go into the palace to serve today, although she was sad, she thought that she was out of the palace, Mu Yunge was followed by Pei Lian and Pei Qing, although both of them were clever, but many things were still not handled flexibly enough, I was afraid that Mu Yunge would be annoyed, so I got up and picked it up, ready to leave the Pingguo Mansion.

Yushan waited for Xiao to get up and have breakfast, and when she returned to the room, she saw that she had already gotten up, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

"Niangniang is still waiting in the palace." Peiying shook her head and stubbornly wanted to leave: "I'd better go back to the palace." ”

Yushan smiled: "It's not that urgent. Just now I went to serve Madame, and she said that someone from the palace had spread the word, and Niangniang asked you to rest in the house, and it would not be too late to go back in the evening. ”

"What did the mother say?" Peiying was skeptical, but Yushan never lied, so she could only follow Yushan and go back to Yushan's room and sit down.

Yushan took her hand and laughed in a low voice: "You, although you are dedicated to Niangniang, sometimes you will be confused by the predicament in front of you, and you can't understand Niangniang's meaning well." You've been crying for so long, have you figured it out? ”

Pei Ying shook her head first, and then nodded again: "Actually, I know that Niang Niang values me very much in her heart, but I just can't figure it out, she clearly knows my heart for Lord Yuan, how could she promise a marriage for Lord Yuan?" But when I thought about it, in fact, in addition to following my mother, I studied for two years, no matter whether I talked about my family background, appearance or talent, it was indeed very ordinary, if I married Lord Yuan, I was afraid that I would be looked down upon in the future. ”

Yushan stroked her hair and sighed: "You, in fact, you still haven't figured it out, there are some weird mothers in your heart, aren't you?" ”

"I don't dare." Peiying seemed to have seen through the secret in her heart, jumped up in panic and denied it.

"I don't dare, not no." Yushan smiled: "You kid is straight-hearted. Let me make it clear to you, Niangniang doesn't want you to marry Lord Yuan like this, it has a deep meaning. ”

"What does it mean?" Pei Ying tilted her head, with a bit of elegance in her eyes.

Yushan didn't say anything more, poured her a glass of water, and then said, "You haven't slept well, your brain is still not very clear, drink a glass of water, and go rest for a while." I will mention your marriage to Madame, if Madame enters the palace to persuade you, there should be a turnaround, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"No need." Pei Ying said: "Sister Yushan, don't alarm Madame, I will take care of it." ”

"Okay, let's sleep for a while." Yushan smiled slightly, whispered, and looked outside: "I have to be busy, Mrs. has just had breakfast, and she is playing with the little master and the second miss, and the children should be tired of playing." ”

As she spoke, she hurriedly closed the curtain and left. Peiying had no choice but to lie down on the bed again. It's also strange to say, after opening up and chatting with Yushan, my mind became a little transparent.

What is the meaning of Mu Yunge's marriage to Yuan Shiying? Could it be that Yuan Gongzi has something else to love in his heart, and he is just his cover, used to get close to the imperial power, and win the love of His Majesty and Niangniang? Niangniang has always been smart, most likely because she was aware of Yuan Gongzi's thoughts, so she would protect herself? No...... Pei Ying shook her head again and again, she believed that Yuan Gongzi was not that kind of person!

Could it be that there is no marriage at all, and everything is a mother who is testing herself and Yuan Gongzi?

If this is the case, then his marriage is actually not without a turnaround!

When Peiying thought of this, her mood was swept away, and her whole person became excited. She figured it out, and she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up and walked around the room, seeing her ruined face in the bronze mirror, afraid that Yuan Shiying would be worried when she saw her appearance later, so she was busy decorating it carefully with Yushan's rouge gouache.

Not long after picking up herself, Yuxi's footsteps came from outside the house, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Peiying, are you up?" ”

While talking, he saw Pei Ying cleaning up the bed for Yushan, hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy with these trivial things, go quickly, go quickly, Niangniang sent someone to call you." ”

"Who's coming?" Peiying was taken aback, she was already familiar with the road when she left the palace, where would she work Mu Yunge to send someone to pick her up?

Yuxi smiled: "It's Father-in-law Rui next to Niangniang." ”

As soon as she heard that it was Father-in-law Rui who was coming, Peiying didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Yuxi to the front hall and prepared to return to the palace. As soon as he arrived in the front hall, he saw that the escort of Grandpa Rui was a capable subordinate of Wang Qian, who was sitting in the hall and was talking to Xiao without any urging.

Seeing Peiying enter the door, Father-in-law Rui immediately smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." Now that the master is here, ma'am, please forgive the servant for being rude. ”

"Father-in-law, please!" Xiao was very polite to him.

When Grandpa Rui walked into the hall, Pei Ying realized that he had brought a bright yellow document in his book. That's naturally the holy decree, it turned out that it was Father-in-law Rui who came to publicize the holy decree and picked her up by the way. It's just that I don't know what kind of grace His Majesty gave to the Pingguo Mansion this time? Speaking of which, although the eldest young master is still young, if he talks about a baby kiss, the two grow up together, it is much better than directly marrying in the future!

How do you know that Gonggong Rui spread out the holy decree, and then turned to her: "Peiying takes the decree-"

Peiying was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, and Yuxi beside her hurriedly reminded her: "Peiying, kneel!" ”

Pei Ying woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed down and knelt down, and Xiao and the others also knelt down and listened to Grandpa Rui read the holy decree.

The holy decree was sprinkled for a long time, and when Gonggong Rui finished reading it, Peiying was stupid. If it weren't for the etiquette, she was afraid that she would blaspheme His Majesty and the Queen's mother, and she really wanted to raise her hand at this moment, pinch her thighs fiercely, and rub her ears again, so as to make sure that she was not dreaming.

What did the decree say?

said that Peiying had made meritorious contributions to the old master many times, and was specially allowed to reply to his real name Wang Yuying, give him an official residence, and serve outside the palace. In order to show his favor, His Majesty crowned her as the Five Rank Sanjun. Not only that, but in the holy decree, it also deliberately emphasized an unknown identity of Peiying - her mother was the concubine of Lord Sima Liu, the first rank of the dynasty, and the Wang family was once a noble family in Jinling, but it was only because of the implication in the literary prison that it fell here.

This is undoubtedly raising her identity, where would Peiying not understand, the so-called sister and declining rhetoric are simply a pretext, she has not been hungry since she was born!

Although my father knew a lot of words and saved a lot of books, he was ...... A dignitary's family? It's also a shame that the queen can think of it? How can there be a dignitary family in Jinling who has eaten a meal but not a meal!

After receiving the holy decree, Peiying was a little dazed. She was anxious to accept everyone's congratulations, and finally helplessly followed Grandpa Rui to see her new mansion, and when she wanted to return to the palace with Grandpa Rui, she was rejected verbally: "Niangniang said that since the girl received the holy decree, she is considered a person outside the palace, and she doesn't need to go back to the palace with me." ”

At this time, Peiying herself was a little surprised: "Niangniang doesn't want me?" Am I doing something wrong? If it's because of Lord Yuan's matter, I will definitely change it! ”

"Girl, go in peace." Father-in-law Rui smiled meaninglessly: "Girl's luck, that's a blessing that no number of people can ask for." ”

As he spoke, Grandpa Rui shook off the dust in his hand, followed the escorted guards back to the palace, and left her alone in the mansion.

The head of the family is used to following Mu Yunge in the past two years, Peiying came to the new mansion, but she was not so flustered, after seeing the steward of this courtyard, she waited in the main hall and saw the servants one by one. I was upset, and when I came out, I didn't expect that this would be the case, and I didn't have any money for the reward, but I just saw it in a hurry, and I forgot it.

At this moment, the subordinate at the door spread: "Sanjun, Lord Liu is here." ”

Peiying was curious in her heart, whether this Lord Liu was really the Lord Liu she thought in her heart, so she asked her subordinates to bring Lord Liu over, who knew that as soon as they met, she was taken aback first: "Lord Liu!" Is it really you? ”

This Lord Liu is Liu Fufeng's father, as soon as he saw Peiying, he immediately burst into tears and stepped forward: "Yuying, I didn't expect that you were my sister's daughter!" ”

"What's going on?" Peiying was inexplicable: "My lord, it's so decent, why are you crying?" ”

Although she had just received the will, and it was clearly stated in the will that she was related to the Great Sima Mansion, Peiying herself didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, how could she have thought that Lord Liu would say such a thing with one mouth.

Lord Liu held her hand, and the old tears were so full that she could barely cry. Behind him was Liu Fufeng, the No. 1 celebrity in Beijing who was about to get married, and when he saw this, he hurriedly helped Lord Liu to sit down, sighed, and said to Peiying: "Miss, don't panic." Here's the thing......"

It turned out that there were three brothers and sisters in Lord Liu's family, and Lord Liu and his brother were all sisters-in-law, and there was only one sister-in-law. This concubine sister has a stubborn personality, and she fell in love with the son of a noble family in Jinling, and despite the opposition of her family, she married the son without hesitation. At that time, it was stiff, and after she got married, she never returned to Kyoto once. Later, the family was implicated in the literary prison, and the sister-in-law and her husband were nowhere to be found. The three brothers and sisters of Lord Liu have a good relationship, and after the sister left, they inquired in many ways, and learned that the sister passed away shortly after giving birth to the child, and the child and her brother-in-law have been missing since then. They searched for many years, and after all these years, there was no news of the two, so they had to give up.

Unexpectedly, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the girl who sees each other every day is actually her own nephew!

Liu Fufeng talked about the time when Peiying was born, and some of her father's characteristics, although they don't quite match Peiying's memory, there are too many similarities.

In the end, Liu Fufeng took out the special jade pendant that everyone in the Liu family has, Peiying remembered that she had seen it in her father's hands, and she really believed that the original holy decree was not a vain.

Suddenly, Peiying and Lord Liu cried together. One thought that he was no longer alone, and the other thought that his sister's blood and blood that he had been searching for for many years were still alive in time, and they were all excited and bitter.

Several people finally stopped crying, and Yuan Shiying, who was in the back of the court, received the order and rushed desperately. Before he could say a few more words, Yuan Shiying seemed to have eyes behind him, and the second holy decree followed his footsteps and found Peiying's mansion......
