Fair Lady

In An Guo Gong's mansion, the Duke and Mrs. Guo looked at the dinner plate that the servant girl took out from Sima Yan's room, obviously untouched.

Mrs. Duke sighed: "My lord, Yan'er hasn't eaten for almost two days, what do you think should I do? Also, the empress dowager told me to enter the palace tomorrow, and I don't know what it is? Tong Yan Does it matter?"

Mrs. Guogong has always regarded Sima Yan as her own. On the one hand, it is because several of her sons, including the eldest son, are of mediocre qualifications. It is good to be able to keep the ancestral foundation.But Sima Yan is deeply favored by the queen mother, and her father and brother's achievements are there, so she can help several cousins.

On the other hand, Sima Yan has been growing up beside their husband and wife since they were three or four years old, like an old young daughter, and the Duke of the State attaches great importance to the only blood left by his younger brother, the two of them can really be said to be Love Sima Yan as the apple of her eye.Even the three legitimate sons in the Duke's Mansion care for Sima Yan very much, just like their own sisters.

The Duke was also anxious to get angry, and when he returned to the mansion, he heard that Sima Yan was still refusing to eat and hadn't changed his outer robe, so he rushed directly to Sima Yan's yard with the Duke's wife.

Grandpa Guo looked at Mama Hua who was standing aside: "Mama Hua, please persuade Yan'er more. Although Shizi Ning is good, but now that he is engaged, Shizi Ning is not the only good man in the capital." Understood, on the day of Shizi Ning's engagement, Sima Yan was sad, but she was fine. On the second day, she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pick a pattern for the Empress Dowager, saying that she wanted to personally embroider a blessing with golden silk and wipe her forehead.The Duke was secretly pleased at that time.It is said that the little niece is strong and sensible.

Who would have thought that Sima Yan would hide in the room after returning from the Compassionate Ning Palace, not to speak, not to eat or drink, just sitting in a daze.Tired but willing to sleep, wake up and continue to be in a daze.

The Duke's wife also said: "Mother Hua, Yan'er listens to you the most, so I'm working hard on you. Our Yan'er is both talented and beautiful. We have a high status, so why worry about getting married? Why treat yourself badly for a Ning Shizi?" She has been eye-catching since she was a child, and she is one of the best candidates for the eldest daughter-in-law and clan wife in the capital.It's just that everyone thinks that the Empress Dowager must personally intervene in Sima Yan's marriage, and they dare not come to ask for marriage easily.

The Grand Duke and his wife also have high vision. Before, like Sima Yan, they only had eyes for Prince Yong's son Qi Haoning.Originally, he thought that Qi Haoning's marriage must also be decided by the Queen Mother.Being close to the water is the first thing to do, and Sima Yan is the girl with the best conditions under the Queen Mother's nose.

I didn't expect that Xia Shuyao would come out halfway, and it was Qi Haoning who proposed to marry him himself.If they had known this, they should have asked the Empress Dowager to marry Sima Yan and Ning Shizi before Xia Shuyao returned to Beijing.

It's a pity...it's too late to say anything now, the decree has been issued, and everything is a foregone conclusion.

Mother Hua also had a headache.Before, Sima Yan always said euphemistically that Qi Haoning also liked her, and Mother Hua knew Sima Yan well.I believe she is not a person who has no sense of proportion and talks to herself.Moreover, Mother Hua always felt that Ning Shizi was Sima Yan's best choice, especially after Ning Shizi won the champion of martial arts, so Mother Hua has always supported Sima Yan's thoughts.

Never thought that the relationship between Sima Yan and Ning Shizi was just a beautiful misunderstanding, and Ning Shizi never had any special thoughts about Sima Yan.

Mother Hua used to be the confidant of the Empress Dowager, so she naturally knew better than others to "observe" the Empress Dowager's words and "observe" the Empress Dowager's expression.She had already guessed why the Queen Mother Xuan Guogong and his wife entered the palace.

"Old lady," Mama Hua lowered her voice. "If I'm not wrong, the queen mother announced that you will enter the palace tomorrow. It should be for the girl's marriage."

Mrs. Guogong was very happy: "That's good, it's good to settle down earlier, so that Yan'er can divert her mind." The Queen Mother gave Zhang Luo, it must be the same, and everyone can see the Queen Mother's kindness to Sima Yan.

An Guogong also nodded, apparently agreeing with his wife.

Mother Hua frowned: "Master, Madam, I just heard that Concubine Ma Gui is choosing a concubine for the second prince, and it seems that she has fallen in love with Miss Xia from Yongping Houfu.

An Guogong first understood what Mama Hua meant, and frowned.Sima Yan became the second prince's concubine, and they were tied to the second prince's boat in An Guogong's mansion.It would be fine if the second prince successfully obtained the reserve position, or he could be a prince with peace of mind and not get involved in the reserve position battle.However, looking at the movements of the second prince and the Ma family in recent years, it seems that they are not ready to settle down.

Mrs. An Guogong didn't think so much: "It would be nice if he really is the second prince. With the position of Concubine Ma and the power of the Ma family, even if the second prince can't be a prince in the future, he will at least be a prince."

The current emperor is powerful, and although the battle for the heir apparent has already begun, it is a very secret operation in the dark. Officials with low political sensitivity will not feel it, let alone a housewife?It is not surprising that the Duke's wife is so optimistic.

An Guogong couldn't explain it to his wife. Thinking about it again, if the queen mother and the emperor had already made a decision, it would be useless even if they wanted to oppose it. Could they still resist the order?It was impossible to find a suitable candidate in one night to pre-determine Sima Yan's marriage.

The Empress Dowager had a good idea in her heart, if the worst thing happened, as long as Sima Yan and An Guo Gongfu were not confused, the Empress Dowager would also try to protect Sima Yan and Sima's family.

Thinking about it this way, Duke An secretly sighed. The queen mother has loved Sima Yan for so many years. If Sima Yan can really be used by the queen mother and the emperor, it may not be a bad thing for the Sima family. Since the death of his younger brother, the Sima family has become more and more silent. .

It is also a blessing for the daughter's family to contribute to the glory of the family.Moreover, the Duke believes that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will not treat Sima Yan badly.

Yu Zhengran in Yu's study had just received the news, sneered, and handed the note to Mr. Yu who had just come out of the secret passage and was sitting by the side.

Mr. Yu saw it, and smiled: "The second prince has also fulfilled his wish. Don't tell me, this second prince doesn't have much ability, but he is quite greedy, and he is not afraid that he will not be chewed if he has too much."

Before, Concubine Ma Gui and the Second Prince wished to choose between Xia Shuyao and Princess Yan, but the Second Prince even regretted that the two girls were from rich backgrounds, one was Princess Yufeng, and the other was too tough for him Be a side concubine.Otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to marry both of them?One is the main concubine, the other is the side concubine, and the two beauties are hugging left and right, and the relationship and power of the two families can be used by him...

The smile on Yu Zhengran's face became colder, what kind of virtue?How dare he try to make his little fairy a side concubine?

Mr. Yu knew that his young master had always looked down on the second prince, so he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "He is stupid and arrogant, which is a good thing for us, but it's just a pawn in our hands. Whether you marry Xia Shuyao or Sima Yan, his help is ultimately our help."

Yu Zhengran hummed and changed the subject, "Ding Meier has been in the palace for so long, but it still has no effect. Didn't you say that no man can resist her temptation?" He didn't think Ding Meier was like that. What is the temptation for a woman?There is one word all over the body: fake.

Mr. Yu laughed: "You have known her since you were a child, and you know her background. In the eyes of others, she is pure and charming, like a fairy."

Yu Zhengran only felt his hairs stand on end: "Don't, don't use her to tarnish the word 'fairy'. Since she is pure and charming, why haven't you settled on that one after so long? Didn't you say that one is the best? "

"That one is too cunning," Mr. Yu said coyly, "I heard that he has often visited Luoyanju, and he has also rewarded a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but he is also guarded. There are very few times in Luoyanju. Speaking of which, we really underestimated that one, no wonder the lord told us not to act rashly."

Yu Zhengran pursed his lips: "Don't act rashly? When will we wait? We can only wait until he is old. At that time, father will also be old."

Mr. Yu looked at the straight and handsome silhouette bathed in the sunlight from outside the window, like a halo of light, which should have looked domineering and sacred, but for some reason, it gave off a sad feeling instead.

Mr. Yu sighed, the young master has been far away from his relatives since he was a child, and he has endured all kinds of pressure alone. More than anyone else, he wants to end this torment of loneliness and return to his parents and relatives, right?It's strange to say that the young master received a ruthless and cold-blooded education since he was a child, but it just couldn't change the inherent sensibility and passion in his bones.

Mr. Yu has noticed many times the softness in Zhengran's eyes when he was looking at Qi Haoning and Princess Yue, or he was silent and in a daze alone after meeting them.Mr. Yu was fortunate that the young master didn't have that kind of anomaly towards other royals, otherwise, he might have to react to the master and reconsider whether the young master is suitable to stay in the capital.

Mr. Yu thought, maybe it's because the young master and Qi Haoning's brothers and sisters look more similar, especially the young master and Princess Yue, both of whom have a pair of particularly attractive red phoenix eyes.The young master longed for his family since he was a child, and he fell in love with Qi Haoning again. It is inevitable... Sigh, is this a kind of evil fate?

The two of them talked for a while about the information collected by the Wishing Workshop recently, and Mr. Yu left through the secret passage behind the bookcase.

Yu Zhengran leaned his head on the couch, Qi Haoning's marriage with Xiaoxianzi had already been settled, he should have been heartbroken, shouldn't he?But he was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he believed that Xia Shujie's elder brother who protected his sister would never accept the marriage of the second prince, but subconsciously, he couldn't help worrying.

If the little fairy becomes the second prince's concubine, the happiness of this life will be ruined. If the second prince fails, the little fairy will die; if the second prince succeeds, his father will not let the second prince live. If there is a way for her to survive secretly, can she still dance the cheerful circle dance carefree? (To be continued.
