Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"By the way, where are Yan's wives? Why didn't you see them?"

During the banquet, someone suddenly asked a question.

Mrs. Xun said: "It is said that the eldest lady accompanied the old lady to visit relatives in her hometown, and the second lady seems to be in Beijing..."

Everyone looked at the eldest princess together.

The wife of Yan's second wife, surnamed Zhongli, is the cousin of Jingyang Hou, and the two families are related by marriage.

The eldest princess said softly: "Two days ago, she reported to the palace that she was ill, saying that she had contracted a cold and was being raised in the palace."

"Hey, Second Madam Yan is weak, there is nothing I can do about it, Your Highness, don't worry too much."

"Has Young Master Yan entered the palace?"

Everyone said one word to another, looked around, the eldest princess smiled and said: "I have entered the palace."

"Why don't you see anyone?"

The family members searched hard to no avail.

"I reckon that he must be entangled with the crown prince at this time. The crown prince has been away from Beijing for more than half a year, but he has been suffocated. It is so easy to hope that he will come back. How can he not follow eagerly."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, Princess Changji smiled and said, "The fifth son is still the same as when he was a child, he likes to cling to the son."

"That's right, Ben Gong joked with Lord Hou earlier, saying that he might be jealous of his new sister-in-law in the future."

Everyone laughed in an uproar.

Su Rao listened to them chatting about Yan Yun, and the atmosphere became more heated. Many noble ladies looked away shyly, but couldn't help but prick up their ears to eavesdrop.

"Speaking of getting a wife, our eldest son is not in a hurry at all, he walks alone all day long, and never sees him pretending to anyone, and this famous lady in Shengjing doesn't even look down on any of them, hey! "

"Don't mention it, I heard that His Majesty intended to betroth the Lu family's daughter-in-law to him, but he also refused."

"When did this happen?"

Everyone was shocked.

Su Rao was also stunned for a moment, then she curled her lips and smiled silently, and said: "Just two days ago, I also listened to what others said."

Lu's daughter-in-law is as beautiful as a flower, delicate and charming.

The father and brother hold great power and regard her as the jewel in their palm. If anyone can marry her, it is equivalent to getting the help of the Lu family.

It will be smooth sailing in the court.

In this situation, others can't ask for it, but he is Yan Yun, the Yan family tree has deep roots, the head of the family, and he is the helm of the future.

To put it bluntly, the nobility of status is by no means comparable to that of the Lu family.

There is no need to rely on force.

"Not to mention the daughter of the Lu family. If I remember correctly, the granddaughter of Duke An's family is also interested in the eldest son. She prepared gifts and came to visit her two days after she returned to Beijing. She couldn't even enter the palace."

Mrs. An Guo blushed when she heard this, and retorted: "On the day of the Peach Blossom Banquet, your niece also rushed to curry favor. I heard that as soon as the handkerchief was handed out, Prince Yan walked over without looking away."

"General Zhao's younger sister went to Daxiangguo Temple to wait for a rabbit in the name of worshiping Buddha, and she didn't even see the carriage of the son."

"Ms. Li can't catch wind and shadows and ruin people's reputation indiscriminately."

"How can this be called destroying people's reputation? Many people have seen it... If you don't believe me, go ask, and you have been wronged?"

……

The scene was chaotic, and there were quarrels from time to time. The eldest princess, the princess, and Mrs. Xun were not surprised by this, and they didn't bother to comment.

"Don't pay attention to them, they, they sharpen their heads and want to marry their daughter into the Yan family. It's no wonder that people miss it. It's really that the eldest son is too eye-catching. The younger generation, no one can surpass him."

Mrs. Xun couldn't help feeling emotional: "A character like him, I don't know who can be worthy of him!"

"Let's stop worrying about it."

Princess Changji smiled and said: "The marriage of Prince Yan is not only for the old man, but also for His Majesty. If you don't find a woman whose status, talent and appearance match her, I'm afraid you won't be reconciled."

"That's true."

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

After listening to these words, Su Rao completely forgot about them after she lost her mind for a short time, and listened to their chatting in boredom.

Three women in one play.

There are a large group of women sitting here, chirping and quacking, talking about the secrets of the house, whose concubine was born prematurely, whose son raised a second wife, whose master and brother were at odds and fought over the family property...

Or whoever negotiated marriage with whom, and who betrayed whom...

Su Rao was forced to listen to fresh gossip.

Fortunately, the palace banquet started soon, and the female relatives retreated to their positions, and sang along with the sound outside the hall, "Your Majesty is here—"

"The Supreme Emperor has arrived—"

The sharp and feminine tone made everyone in the hall quiet down quickly, and paid homage to the several figures who ascended to the high position.

Xiao Nan followed the Supreme Emperor and set up a seat for him alone on it.

Seeing Su Rao from a distance, he grinned at her.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

His Majesty helped the Supreme Emperor to take his seat, and with a wave of his hand, an officer of courtesy went up to the stage and recited the birthday speech, and then all the officials kowtowed, and the crown prince brought all the princes to celebrate his birthday and present gifts.

What the crown prince gave was a Shoushan strange stone, unique in shape, rare to see. What the second prince gave was a red coral tree as tall as a person, which was gorgeous and dazzling.

The third prince is not favored, so he can't bring out any good things.

So he sent an inkstone.

All the people below laughed secretly for a long time.

After the princes and princesses delivered the presents, the Supreme Emperor ordered a banquet to be held, the dancers and musicians appeared on stage, the silk and bamboo orchestras were melodious, and the hall became lively again.

Xun Zeli, Gu Cheng, and the others followed their father and brother to toast, and with a casual glance, they suddenly saw the Tsing Yi sitting beside the eldest princess.

Xun Zeli quickly pulled Gu Cheng aside.

"Why is she here?"

Gu Cheng glanced carefully, "It seems that she entered the palace as a female family member, and I guess she was notified temporarily."

Otherwise, with the temperament of a girl, she should investigate the case at the Planting Flower Pavilion now.

"Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Xun Zeli felt uncomfortable clutching the wine glass, frowned and said, "Why is my aunt sitting next to her, holding her hand, and smiling at us from time to time...the smile is creepy."

"How can you arrange your own mother like this?"

Gu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, don't think about that, anyway, the adults are in the women's seat, so it's not easy for us to bother you, so let's just stay in peace."

"That's true."

Xun Zeli stopped being entangled, and continued to walk around with the elders to pay respects. Out of the corner of Su Rao's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Yan Yun sitting not far from the crown prince.

He is wearing the prince's crown today.

Grand and gorgeous, with a jade crown and hair, sitting alone in this singing and dancing, it seems that there is an invisible barrier separating him, one side is prosperous, and the other side is quiet.

As if aware of her gaze.

The lowered eyelids were raised, and she looked at her lightly, with a smile and tenderness, and the phrase "Autumn water is as sacred as jade and bones, and it is ashamed as compared to lotus flowers."

She looked at him, but still missed him very much.

"What are you thinking about?"

A voice suddenly sounded in her mind, Su Rao blinked her eyelashes, and replied via sound transmission: "I miss you... when did you come here!"

Su Rao's voice changed, with a strong teasing smile.

Yan Yun seemed to be drinking tea casually, and continued to communicate with her calmly: "Just when Mrs. Xun said that she would hire you."
