Donggong Zhangjiao

Jingqian Palace.

When Fang Yun came in, Pei Yao was still reading the memorial, so she didn't approach rashly and saluted first from a distance.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

"You're here." Pei Yao looked up and waved to her with a smile, "Come, take a look at this."

Fang Yun curled his lips, "What good news? The emperor hastily ordered someone to call my concubine."

"You will know after seeing it, it is indeed a happy event." Pei Yao said softly.

Not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, Fang Yun walked over and followed the direction of his finger and landed on a fold.

"The secret of Qin Guogong?"

Fang Yun was a little surprised, but he still picked it up and read it.

The content is not about military affairs, but about Huo Mingxuan's marriage.

After reading it, Fang Yun was extremely surprised.

She originally thought that she would never have any contact with the Fang family again in this life, but she didn't expect that after so many years, she would meet them again.

"Fifth sister, General Xiao Huo wants to marry my concubine's fifth sister?" Fang Yun's expression was a little out of control, and he looked stunned.

Pei Yao had been surprised before, but now looking at Fang Yun's appearance, he laughed again, took Fang Yun's hand, and sat down next to him.

"It's a long story to tell. Huo Mingxuan is very meticulous in his work. He also asked someone to write a letter explaining your fifth sister's experiences over the years. Please take a look."

With that said, Chong waved to Hong Zheng to take the letter and handed it to Fang Yun.

At that time, Fang Jin, the fifth girl of the Fang family, because her biological mother, Aunt Qiao, took a correct stand and provided a lot of help to Fang Yun. Therefore, after the Fang family was destroyed, the mother and daughter successfully saved their lives and went to other places with a sum of money. As the days of anonymity began, Fang Jin also changed her surname to Qiao, taking on her mother's surname.

Aunt Qiao couldn't help but open a noodle shop to make a living. However, mother and daughter had no support, so it was naturally difficult. In addition, Aunt Qiao was pretty, and Fang Jin, who was growing up, was also a beauty at first glance. She had just opened the shop not long ago. , which attracted the covetousness of local bullies.

Helpless, Aunt Qiao had to ask a matchmaker to find a reliable family to marry again.

Although Aunt Qiao was already in her thirties at that time, she was well-maintained, her charm was still there, and she had a lot of money in her hands. In addition, Fang Jin was about to get haircut. With such good looks, she would definitely receive a large amount of betrothal gifts when she got married. , so many people with impure thoughts came to ask for marriage.

Aunt Qiao was not stupid. She could see what these people were thinking. They were angry and anxious. Finally, the aunt who was helping in the noodle shop's kitchen pushed her neighbor's son over.

This man's name is Li You, and he works in a blacksmith shop. Because his family is poor, he has two sick parents at home, and he himself has a boring temper. He is now thirty and has not married yet, but he is a very nice and cold person. He is enthusiastic and very down-to-earth and reliable.

After the two met once, Aunt Qiao also felt good about it, but at that time Emperor Chengjing passed away, Pei Yao had just ascended the throne, and it was still a national mourning, so the two were only engaged but not married.

But according to Aunt Qiao's request, Li You stopped going to the blacksmith shop and took care of the noodle shop with Aunt Qiao every day. He was in his prime and had been forging iron for many years. He completely plays the role of the door god.

The couple just opened the noodle shop.

But before the national mourning was over, war broke out on the border. Li You was passionate and wanted to serve the country. Aunt Qiao saw his thoughts, and after spending such a long time together, the two of them also developed feelings, so they came out of the mourning period. Aunt Qiao took the initiative and arranged the marriage between the two.

Half a month after their marriage, Aunt Qiao took the initiative to push Li You to join the army.

Unexpectedly, shortly after Li You left, Aunt Qiao was found to be pregnant. She was about to run away for four years, and she was really a newbie these days. In order not to affect Li You, she hid the news and prepared to give him a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Da Qi won and when the army returned to the court, Li You became a centurion, but Aunt Qiao had passed away due to dystocia, leaving Fang Jin and his half-brother alone to support the noodle shop.

In just over a year, the newlyweds were separated forever.

Li You was not good at doing business, so he simply sold the noodle shop, sold his property, took all his money and his son and daughter, and returned to the northern Xinjiang military camp.

The folk customs in Northern Xinjiang are more open. Fang Jin has grown up to be tough and steady in the past few years, so she does not want to be a canary who was protected and raised by others. In addition, she also learned some skills in a noodle shop, so she went to Northern Xinjiang to I followed my mother's lead and opened a small noodle shop.

She was pretty and her craftsmanship was good, and with the support of Li Youjun's good brothers, the noodle shop was booming. This was how Huo Mingxuan got acquainted with Fang Jin.

The two had been in love with each other in the past few years. Seeing that the war was about to start again, Huo Mingxuan was afraid that he would not have a chance, so Fang Jin expressed his feelings. Fang Jin did not agree in a hurry, but informed him of his original identity and let him think clearly.

After all, the Fang family is a criminal, that is, Fang Yun is now a clean picker and is a noble concubine in the palace. Fang Jin reasoned that as a member of the criminal family, they were originally going to be used as official prostitutes.

Now that Huo Mingxuan has taken over the military power and is about to go to war again, she hastily got married. She is afraid that someone with bad intentions will reveal her old identity and use it to make a fuss about what she has and what she does not have, which will be detrimental to Huo Mingxuan.

Unexpectedly, Huo Mingxuan directly reported the matter to Pei Yao with a note and a letter, and directly asked Pei Yao for marriage.

After knowing the whole incident, Fang Yun was surprised but calmed down.

There was no quarrel between Fang Jin and her. Not only was there no quarrel, when Aunt Qiao saw that Fang Yun was pitiful, she also told Fang Jin not to follow her sister Fang Pei's example and bully others. Fang Jin was obedient and even secretly gave Fang Yun some snacks. eat.

If not, Fang Yun would not have rescued their mother and daughter.

So after listening to these things at this moment, I sighed, "Fifth sister must have suffered a lot in these years. I just didn't expect that I would be able to meet the Fang family in this way."

"Yes, Huo Mingxuan is a very caring guy. He wants you to recognize your fifth sister, so as to make your fifth sister's identity more attractive and make the marriage seem more suitable," Pei Yao said.

Indeed, for a centurion's stepdaughter to be married to the Duke of Guo as his wife, this status is too unsuitable. Even if everyone in the Huo family is happy, I am afraid that Fang Jin will be looked down upon by other high-ranking ladies in the future.

But Fang Yun didn't rush to say anything, but asked Pei Yao instead.

"So what does the Emperor think of this marriage?"

She would definitely be willing to accept Fang Jin. Then the Duke of Qin, who will hold a large number of soldiers in the future, will be her brother-in-law, but can Pei Yao agree?

After all, she has a son at her knees.

And she had to be on guard in case Pei Yao was testing her.

If she hurriedly admitted her love, wouldn't it make Pei Yao think that she was seeking power for the fourth prince?

In the deep palace, it is impossible not to be cautious.

Pei Yao obviously saw Fang Yun's caution, pursed his lips and said seriously.

"I agree, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come. I also know that you are smart and follow the rules, and you are avoiding something. But Ji'er is also my son. He is extremely talented, filial and sensible. I can't do it because he is a concubine. , so I suppressed him too much. I am also a concubine, so I don’t value concubines, but talent and virtue."
