Chapter VII
After participating in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the nobles left the imperial garden and left the palace in twos and threes.
Ye Fuqiang pulled Ye Rong and walked with Ye Qian, no matter how jealous and resentful she was in her heart, she had to make a sisterly and harmonious appearance in front of outsiders.
"Congratulations to the fourth sister for becoming Princess Yu." Ye Fu tried to squeeze out a smile.
Ye Qian looked at Ye Fu's somewhat distorted smile, and then looked at Ye Rong who was standing next to her, and let out a faint "um". She is young, but her mind is sensitive, and she has a very intuitive feeling for the kindness and malice of others, and these two sisters don't like her, and she has long known it.
"Big sister, look at her, the position of Princess Yu was originally mine, but she shamelessly snatched it, and she is still so rampant!" Ye Rong was so angry that her eyes were red, and she couldn't wait to rush up and scratch a few handfuls on Ye Qian's white and tender little face.
"Shut up!" Ye Fu pinched Ye Rong's arm fiercely and glared at her warningly. She knows very well the truth that both glory and loss are lost, they are all noble girls who have left the palace before and after, and they must not make noise at this time, let people see the jokes of the Hou Mansion, in that way, she will be picked and disliked when she discusses marriage.
Ye Rong was so painful that she almost cried, looked at the face of her eldest sister, and didn't dare to say anything after all, only glanced at Ye Qian a few times.
Princess Yu's position was originally hers? Ye Qian pursed her lips and ignored it, this third sister has always been like this, and she thinks it should be her when she encounters any good things.
When the three of them arrived at the carriage outside the palace gate, Ye Rong saw that there was no one left and right, and said through gritted teeth: "Ye Qian, don't be complacent too early, you wait for me!" After saying that, she was dragged into the carriage by Ye Fu.
Bai Zhen was surprised to help Ye Qian get into another carriage and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what happened?" "Ye Rong is usually very arrogant, but she rarely doesn't hide it like she did just now.
After participating in the Hundred Flowers Banquet and walking so far, Ye Qian was also tired, her small body fell on the cross seat of the carriage, looked at Bai Zhen with a smile, and her big apricot eyes blinked twice, "Zhen, the emperor has given me a marriage, and I am married." ”
"What?!" Bai Zhen screamed, her voice split, she stood up suddenly, but forgot that it was in the carriage, and her head hit the roof with a "bang".
Seeing Bai Zhen, who had always been calm and generous, so flustered, Ye Qian laughed and trembled, and felt sorry for her and bumped her head, and asked with concern: "Bump-haha-it hurts-haha-it doesn't hurt-hahaha-" She laughed so much that tears were about to come out, and two small pear vortices on her chubby little face ran out mischievously.
Bai Zhen calmed down and looked at the girl who couldn't help laughing speechlessly, if you remove the "hahaha" in your words, you can be more sincere. She took Ye Qian's words about marriage and marriage as a joke, because when she usually called herself "Zhen", she was more naughty. And if she shouts "Fei", she is also joking.
Bai Zhen rubbed her head and poured Ye Qian a cup of tea, "Did the girl use dim sum at the banquet and didn't drink tea?" "The girl is like this all the time, and she's used to it.
As soon as she said this, Ye Qian really felt thirsty, raised up, and drank half a cup with her hand.
The two carriages stopped at the gate of the Jiping Marquis Mansion together, and as soon as Ye Qian got off the carriage, she was pushed heavily by Ye Rong, but fortunately, Bai Zhen hugged her and didn't crash into the carriage behind.
"What to do?!" As soon as Ye Li came out of the house, he saw that his baby sister was almost pushed down, and he couldn't help but shout angrily.
Ye Fu persuaded softly: "The younger sisters are just joking, the eldest brother doesn't have to care." ”
Ye Rongse shrank for a moment, she was a little afraid of this big brother, she didn't dare to talk back to him, and she was really angry in her heart, the eldest sister didn't let her make noise at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and endured all the way in the carriage, and now it's easy to get home, she really can't help it, and said angrily: "The fourth sister robbed me of the princess's position, I just pushed her, and I wasn't hurt!" ”
"What?" Ye Li was stunned, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, "What do you mean by robbing your princess's seat?" ”
Ye Rong heard him ask, and felt even more aggrieved, "King Yu's little * originally wanted to shoot me, but he was afraid that I would be blocked by others, so he specially asked me to stand in front, but as a result, he blindfolded and couldn't see, and the bow and arrow hit the fourth sister!" ”
Hearing Ye Rong say "the bow and arrow hit the fourth sister", Ye Li's head "buzzed", pounced on Ye Qian and hugged Ye Qian in his arms, regardless of being at the gate, first looked at her back and forth, saw that there was no blood, and then rolled up his sleeves, and saw that the little arm was the same as the white lotus root, white and clean, and there was no wound at all, and then looked at Ye Qian's face, which was white and red, not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Qianqian, are you injured?" ”
Ye Qian heard the nervousness in her brother's voice, smiled and shook her head, "I'm not hurt, the arrow is in my hair." She pointed to the small mustache tied on her head, "I messed up my head, and later His Royal Highness King Yu tied me another one." ”
The more Ye Li listened, the more uneasy he became, he took Ye Qian's little fat hand and walked towards the house, "What the hell is going on, Qianqian will tell my brother." ”
"Today, His Royal Highness King Kang chose a side concubine, and later, His Royal Highness King Yu also came...... Ye Qian told her brother what happened today, and when she arrived at Siyuan Hall, where her mother lived, she had already finished speaking, "...... His Majesty gave him the marriage, and said that it was a holy decree and then it was issued. ”
"No! I disagree! Ye Li's roar almost scared the medicine bowl in Mrs. Hou's hand, "What's the matter?" Brother Tong came in. ”
Ye Li pulled Ye Qian into the house, furious, as if he was going to find someone desperately.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? Mrs. Hou Meng rarely saw her son like this, he was the son of the world, he had no father at a young age, and he had to take care of his sister, and he had developed a calm temperament of a young man, she thought about it, and her face suddenly changed, "Is Qianqian being bullied?" "The banquet is full of noble women, and the daughter is still young, is there any big grievance?
Ye Li was so angry that he forgot to salute, and repeated Ye Qian's words again, "What kind of person is King Yu, a famous prince, arrogant, unlearned, and unskilled, except for being good-looking, he has no advantages!" No, being good-looking is not a plus! ”
Meng Shi was not as excited as him, beckoned, called Ye Qian to his side, held her little hand, and looked complicated, "Qianqian is still so young......
"Mother, His Royal Highness King Yu said that I don't have to live in his house after I get married, I still live in our house, and I don't have to leave my mother and brother." Ye Qian puffed out her little face and comforted her seriously.
Ye Li took two steps in the house angrily, "Mother, while the holy decree has not yet been issued, I will enter the palace now, and ask the emperor not to give a decree to give marriage!" ”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Hou made a straight face, "Even if the holy decree has not been officially issued, the emperor has already given the marriage, you have no jokes, how can you take it back if you say it in front of so many people?" ”
"But, how can Qianqian marry King Yu?" Ye Li spun around in distress.
"Okay, don't turn around, I'm dizzy." Meng Shi patted Ye Qian's little hand, "Qianqian, tell me, are you willing to marry His Royal Highness King Yu?" "Although the daughter is small, she is very sensitive, and if King Yu is really a wicked person, he may not be able to deceive her.
"I do." Ye Qian nodded seriously.
"What?! You, you say, willing? Ye Li couldn't believe it, it was only half a day before his baby sister was abducted, "Then what is so good about King Yu, just let you be willing?" ”
"He promised-" Ye Qian remembered what His Royal Highness King Yu said, no one can tell it, and he can't tell his mother and brother.
Ye Li's starry eyes narrowed, what empty promise did King Yu make and coax his sister? "Qianqian, what did he promise? Well? ”
The end of his speech rose dangerously, Ye Qian was a little nervous, but he couldn't tell him the truth, he sighed for a long time, and his little face turned red, "He promised, promised to send a cook to me, and he would make all kinds of snacks." ”
Ye Li held his forehead, looked at the sky speechlessly, no, looked at the roof, damn King Yu, grasped the weakness of his sister's liking for dim sum, and even used the cook to coax her, "Qianqian, don't want this cook, my brother will send you another cook, okay?" No, send two, one for snacks and one for a delicious dish. ”
Ye Qian hesitated and shook her head, the cook she wanted, but the most important thing was not the cook.
Meng Shi was more careful than Ye Li, and when he found out that his daughter wanted to speak, he stopped talking, and said softly: "Qianqian, did King Yu say anything else?" ”
Ye Qian nodded, "It's a good thing, but His Royal Highness King Yu won't let me tell my mother and brother, His Royal Highness said that it was a secret, and it wouldn't work if I said it." ”
Ye Li was stunned, what is a good thing?
Meng didn't force her daughter to say it, the little girl had her own set, she was not forced to say it, she looked at her son, "King Yu's mother is a very innocent and kind person, I think the son taught by such a person should not be too bad." ”
"That is the first beauty of the Great Qi Dynasty?" Ye Li was a little unconvinced, I heard that the Jade Concubine likes luxury, such a person will be innocent and kind? His baby sister is innocent and kind, and it's almost the same.
"She's a poor woman too." Meng Shi sighed, "Qianqian will definitely see her in the future, and I want to get along with her, you know?" ”
Ye Qian nodded, if His Royal Highness King Yu really did what she promised, she would treat him and his mother concubine well.
