Chapter 142: Cousin of the Prince
Blood relatives recognize each other, and there is a sigh.
The queen caught Yan Siyun and asked a lot of details about her mother's life, but Yan Siyun couldn't say anything new, and began to repeat the words back and forth, so she regretfully let her go.
Later, the queen rewarded Yan Siyun with a lot of good things, and also sent her two nurturing grandmothers to take care of the chores in charge of Huanyuzhai for her, and taught her various Central Plains etiquette by the way.
Yan Siyun was a little alienated and awe-inspiring towards the queen at first, thinking about it, she didn't know that her mother had sisters, and the other party was still the queen of a country, and she suddenly knew this relationship, only confused, how could she have feelings?
However, the queen's very close and good appearance to her still made her a little grateful, and when she accepted the reward, her eyes were crooked when she smiled, and she had a good impression of the queen.
Seeing that it was close to noon, the queen simply summoned Princess Zhiling to accompany her, leaving a few little girls to have lunch together in Kun'an Palace, and then let the three of them go back.
Out of the palace, Yan Siyun had two more nurturing grandmothers behind her, holding a bunch of gifts for her big boxes and small boxes, and even Fu Xuechen, who was with her, also carried two exquisite flower hairpins that were gifted, which can be regarded as a full harvest.
Walking outside the Yupan Palace, Yan Siyun wanted to visit the Yuefei Yegrika, so he asked the two nurturing grandmothers to go to Huanyuzhai first, and he took Fu Xuechen and Princess Zhiling, who followed Fu Xuechen closely, into the Yupan Palace.
Yupan Palace is a somewhat exotic building, two stories high, Ye Gelika usually lives on the second floor, and when he learned that Yan Siyun came to visit, he was busy asking the Huiqiang maid to invite someone upstairs to talk.
Princess Zhiling didn't have to go up to meet Concubine Yue at all, so she refused the invitation, so she stayed in the hall downstairs to drink tea, Yan Siyun saw this, and simply asked Fu Xuechen to stay and accompany Princess Zhiling for herself.
Waiting for Yan Siyun to leave, Princess Zhiling pursed her lips and snorted: "The father likes her, and the queen mother also likes her, this is good, the people at the bottom are used to praising high and low, and everyone has to praise her!" β
Fu Xuechen expressed sympathy and understanding for her psychology, originally she was the only underage princess in the palace, with the love of her father, queen and mother, and her brother, and suddenly there was a competition for favor, which was difficult not to be psychologically unbalanced.
However, Fu Xuechen would not analyze these with her, but only comforted: "Okay! Your Majesty should love you, and you won't be a little less because of one more of her, and the people below won't dare to snub you because she is favored, how you lived in the past, how do you live now, how can you care so much! β
"That's right!" Princess Zhiling has always been convinced by her, and she feels a lot more comfortable.
"Then Your Highness, you have also seen it, the county lord will not do anything to me, you should rest assured!" Fu Xuechen smiled and persuaded her: "You really don't have to worry about me, you are too tired to follow us like this!" Go back and rest early! Don't you want to participate in the small feast tomorrow? See you tomorrow? β
"Hmm!" In the morning, her mind was tense, Princess Zhiling was indeed a little tired, seeing that the situation was not as bad as she thought, she agreed to come down, she didn't want to stay here, and immediately made an appointment with Fu Xuechen to see her tomorrow at the small banquet in Mingde Hall, so she waved goodbye to Fu Xuechen and left here.
Upstairs in Yupan Palace, Yan Siyun was also talking to Ye Gelika in Huiqiang language.
Yegreka's most anxious question is whether Yan Siyun has clashed with the queen: "The queen is really like what Mama Su said, she is very happy to see you?" Does she really think you're her sister's child, so it's very nice to you? β
Yan Siyun snorted lightly: "On the surface, it seems like this. β
Yegreka breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but say, "You say, is our previous guess wrong?" The fact that the nurse was abducted more than ten years ago is actually not a conspiracy, just a simple catastrophe? β
Yan Siyun's expression was also a little relaxed, but he quickly became firm again: "Let's not be naΓ―ve!" If that person was so easy to deal with, it would not have been possible to marry my mother's crush so smoothly in the first place, and he wouldn't have taught others to be suspicious! Without any means, she can still convince the emperor that she is innocent and make her queen? β
Yegreka looked confused, she couldn't tell if Yan Siyun was overly suspicious, or the queen was really so terrifying.
"Are you still insisting on revenge? If things are not what you think, then don't you hurt good people, cut off family ties with blood relatives, and make your own people sad? β
Yan Siyun also had a headache: "Let me think about it first!" Let me think! β
However, Yan Siyun didn't have time to come up with any results, and in the afternoon, she passed away quietly in the etiquette course of the two nurturing grandmothers sent by the queen, although the two nurturing grandmothers were very gentle, not harsh on people, and there was no deliberate tossing of people, which still made her taste a lot of hard work in the tiring etiquette learning.
According to Yan Siyun's course progress, the relevant learning will last at least three days in order to master all the cumbersome etiquette more proficiently, fortunately, the next day is a small feast set by Emperor Yuan An in advance, Yan Siyun was named to participate, you can stop the etiquette course for the time being, go to Mingde Hall to listen to the class, and take the opportunity to rest.
In the Mingde Hall, the screen blocking the line of sight had already been removed with Princess Zhiling's change to Jinghuayuan Girls' School, and it was not put up again at this time, after all, the small scripture feast was a very public occasion for lectures, and anyone could listen to it.
In addition, in the past two years, Darong's atmosphere has become more and more open, and there is no old-fashioned old pedant who will make irresponsible remarks about women attending such occasions, in Fu Xuechen's feeling, Darong is rapidly moving closer to the late Qing Dynasty in her previous life.
If this is the case, the bookstore can almost put on some new books such as "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" and "Laughing Karma", using a form similar to overhead fantasy to promote the trend of thought of the Republic of China such as the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, expand the breadth of people's thinking, and show people in this era a more diverse future.
After thinking about it, I have arrived at Mingde Hall.
Princess Zhiling was already waiting behind Mingde Hall, where she had been sitting, and when she saw Fu Xuechen following Yan Siyun into the door, she hurriedly beckoned to the two: "Sister Xuechen!" This way! Well, come too, county lord! β
She was very affectionate to Fu Xuechen in the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was a little perfunctory, but fortunately, her status was high, even if Yan Siyun was unhappy, it was impossible to disobey her in person, so she simply pretended to be stupid and thanked her, and sat down with Fu Xuechen.
According to the seating order, Princess Zhiling should sit in the center, Yan Siyun and Fu Xuechen are one left and one right, but Princess Zhiling doesn't want Yan Siyun to stick to her at all, and as soon as she stretches out her hand, she assigns a seat behind her to the other party.
Yan Siyun didn't care, and sat down according to her instructions, but now Fu Xuechen was a little embarrassed, her status couldn't be compared with Yan Siyun, Princess Zhiling wanted her to sit beside her, which was tantamount to being above the county lord, and she couldn't accept it.
"Sister Xuechen, you are her husband, it's okay to sit next to me!" Princess Zhiling argued.
Fu Xuechen smiled at her helplessly and shook his head: "But Your Highness! This is Mingde Hall, today we are all here to listen to the predecessors preach the scriptures, not in the return of Yuzhai, I can't lose the etiquette in this place. β
In the end, Fu Xuechen still sat in the first place under Yan Siyun, and they all sat behind Princess Zhiling, but fortunately, there was only a strip-shaped table in the middle, she leaned forward, and Princess Zhiling leaned back, still not affecting the whispering.
But at this moment, it was not Princess Zhiling who whispered to Fu Xuechen, but Yan Siyun.
She approached Fu Xuechen, as if she was a little frightened, and said uneasily: "Sir, can you quietly tell me who these people are in front of you?" I don't know any of them. β
"Yes!" Fu Xuechen didn't think much about it, Yan Siyun, an orphan girl who had just come from Huiqiang, suddenly entered the palace and was named the county lord, it has not been three days since then, and the etiquette has not been fully learned, but she was summoned to see the queen.
According to the rules, in fact, even the queen can't go to see her so quickly, she has to learn the etiquette first, so that she can be arranged by the queen to participate in the palace family banquet, and by the way, she will officially recognize the person she should know at the palace banquet.
But now the order has been somewhat disrupted, Yan Siyun was asked by the emperor, and everyone came to Mingde Hall in advance to participate in the small scripture feast before they could admit it, so she, the exclusive teacher and teacher, must take responsibility.
So Fu Xuechen glanced at the princes and princes who had already arrived in the hall to read together, and pointed out one by one to Yan Siyun and whispered: "The one closest to us in front, the youngest prince, is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Yu You, and his left and right sides are his princes' companions......"
Mingdetang's prince's companion has been expanded later, and on average, there are two or three more companions around each prince, Fu Xuechen can't know all of them, so he simply skips them and only introduces the prince himself to Yan Siyun.
"The previous one, that is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, Yu Qi, and the others are all accompanied by the prince...... Hey? His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Yu Zhi, also arrived, he was talking to Mr. Li outside, Mr. Li was taught by Mingde Hall, Li Tao and Li Hanlin, His Royal Highness the Third Prince only brought an inner attendant, and there was no prince to accompany him, and the rest of the princes had not yet arrived. β
Yan Siyun nodded again and again, Fu Xuechen's voice was good, the introduction was not only highlighted, but also layered, and a few words made her remember the identity and status of all kinds of people in front of her, which made her very satisfied.
At this moment, another prince came outside the Mingde Hall, this prince was the same as the third prince Yu Zhi, and he didn't bring many people around him, only brought a prince to accompany him and an inner attendant, and saw Yu Zhi and Li Hanlin who were talking under the eaves of the corridor outside.
Fu Xuechen continued to introduce her in Yan Siyun's ear: "The new one is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and the one who follows him is his companion, Chen Li, the second grandson of the Zhenguo family. β
It is said that he was stationed in the Criminal Department, dealing with the law all day long, investigating and handling the Qin case, many high-ranking officials were afraid of him, and secretly called him Yama behind his back.
"Fourth brother!" As soon as Princess Zhiling saw him, she took the initiative to greet him, and she was not persuaded by the other party's coldness at all.
Yu Zhen followed the prestige, nodded at Princess Zhiling, and then saw Fu Xuechen, inadvertently met Fu Xuechen's clear gaze, and his figure couldn't help pausing slightly, before continuing to walk to his old position, and sat down in his robe.
Yan Siyun was surprised: "How can His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince ...... What a cold momentum! β
When Princess Zhiling heard this, she turned around and "hummed" softly: "What do you know!" My fourth brother is on an errand in the Criminal Department, how can he suppress those corrupt officials without a little momentum? In fact, others are not cold at all, I heard that next month, my father will let him transfer to the household department, and then he will no longer have to keep a straight face all day like now. β
Fu Xuechen was a little speechless, thinking that Princess Zhiling looked at people with filters, did the four princes "have to" strain their faces? That's clearly his habit! When will the Iceberg Prince have an obvious expression on his face, it will not be normal.
It was the first time that Yan Siyun had seen Princess Zhiling so close to a prince, but she was still the coldest and most unapproachable among the princes, so she couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhen a few more times curiously.
Fu Xuechen smiled slightly, and whispered in her ear: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is the concubine of the current queen, judging from blood, he is actually the cousin of the county lord, and you are very close." β
Yan Siyun's pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at Yu Zhen again, and then even the second prince Yu Zhen came, and sat straight in the first row of the position that originally belonged to the eldest prince, Fu Xuechen continued to introduce in her ear, and she didn't pay attention to it anymore.
After a while, Yan Siyun recovered from the accident, and looked at Fu Xuechen curiously and asked, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince...... My cousin, is he married? β
Fu Xuechen nodded: "I heard that they have been engaged, and the future fourth princess is the youngest granddaughter of Qi Ge Lao, the prime minister, because she is young, she is not yet an adult, and now she is still far away from Qi Ge Lao on the other side of the two lakes, so the two have never been married." β
Princess Zhiling turned back to Fu Xuechen at this time and complained dissatisfiedly: "The family affair that the queen mother ordered for my fourth brother is too outrageous, do you know?" Not to mention that no one has ever seen that little girl from the Qi family is beautiful or ugly, and even I heard that her body is born a little weak, and she has to cough from time to time, how can this kind of person be worthy of being my fourth sister-in-law! β
The corners of Fu Xuechen's lips twitched, and she didn't speak, Princess Zhiling only cares about the woman's appearance, health, and knowledge, but the queen is interested in the woman's family background and the potential influence of her grandfather, and the thoughts of the two are not on the same channel at all, okay? The order of the parents, and it is also the queen's decree, who can object to this family matter?
I hope that Concubine Xie is not the kind of person who is the queen, and Yu Zuo can have a little bit of autonomy, otherwise she has to obey her parents' orders for everything, and it is useless for Yu Zuo to like anyone!
While speaking, the third prince Yu Zhi also left the corridor and entered the Mingde Hall, looking for a seat between the second prince and the fourth prince and sat down, and outside, Ji Ze University Scholar followed another gentleman who was also Hanlin also appeared outside the door.
Ji Ze, Li Tao, and the other Hanlin scholar are the lecturers of today's small scripture feast.
