Fair Lady

The Empress Dowager called Li Tingzhi before the marriage and asked him to meet Yun Li.

When Li Tingzhi saw Yunli, he couldn't bear to take his eyes off her. He felt that Yunli was like a ray of warm sunshine, which made him feel comfortable and natural. When he knew that Yunli was still practicing martial arts, he wanted to marry the person in front of him immediately go home.

The queen mother smiled and said: "The Yun family has suffered so much for so many years. Now that they have just returned to Beijing, they naturally want to raise the girl for a year or two. It is human nature. If you love Qing..."

Li Tingzhi was in a hurry, for fear that the queen mother would say that he was in a hurry to get married and forget it, so he hurriedly said: "No hurry, no hurry, I just want to go to the south, when the Yun family thinks it is safe for Miss Yun to marry... Marry here Now, I will get married again." Just kidding, I have been waiting for so many years, and there is only one or two years left?Is it easy to meet such a nice girl?

He really didn't like those delicate, unruly and arrogant young ladies. Yun Li, who was generous, cheerful, straightforward, and somewhat heroic, was born for him. She was afraid that Yun Li would think he was too old.

"Hahahaha," the Queen Mother was very happy seeing Li Tingzhi's nervous appearance, which showed that he was very satisfied with this marriage.

Yun Li also didn't feel that Li Tingzhi was "old". Her father was 12 years older than her current mother, so she loved her very much.Moreover, Li Tingzhi is tall and straight, like a man from the Northwest.

Since coming to Beijing, Yun Li has always felt that the princes and brothers in Beijing are too "face", and even saw some men wearing powder and rouge like girls.She pouted secretly to her sister Yun Ting: "The young men in Beijing are also "pampered", right? Except for Cousin Jie, I haven't seen a few men who look like men. They are much worse than the 14-year-old Wen'er gone."

At that time, Yunting was so frightened that he quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, how many men have you seen?" But it was the few people you saw through the curtains of the carriage when you were on the road and at the banquet.

Today, Li Tingzhi finally let Yun Li see that besides Cousin Jie, there is another manly young man in the capital.

When Li Tingzhi said "no hurry" in a hurry, Yun Li, who had already retreated behind the screen, blushed: Well, this person seems to be not bad.

Although Yun Li has a bit of a temper, she has been well-behaved since she was a child.After more than a month in Beijing, I have received all kinds of intensive and fast-track training, and everything on the surface is unambiguous at all.

Even if the Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage on a "wrong" one, she would not dare to say anything, but now this one is still "good", so naturally there is no more voice.

only.Elder sister Yunting was married to the second prince as a side concubine, she was a little panicked, she didn't know if it was good or not, marrying into the royal family sounds like an honor, but a side concubine is also a concubine.

Yunting said indifferently: "So what can I do? Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor, and the Yun family finally got what it is today. Don't let me be the concubine of the fourth prince, even let me enter the palace as a palace maid. I have to go too "Just now in the Kunning Palace, the Empress said something to her, and it seemed that it wasn't too scary. The fourth prince sat beside the Empress and looked at her, his eyes were quite... sparkling, and it didn't seem to be offensive.

Yun Li sighed, yes. "Thunder, rain and dew are the grace of the emperor", they read this sentence in a book when they were ** years old.When I asked my uncle what he meant, a look of pain flashed across his face: "Your grandfather was framed, and the whole family was robbed of their property and exiled here, but what your grandfather was thinking of was only hoping that one day he would be able to clear up his grievances, and he didn't have any grudges against the late emperor. , this is 'thunder, rain and dew are the grace of the emperor'."

As soon as Shujie returned to the mansion, he heard Nangong Miao say that General Yun had sent a message asking him to go there. Shujie understood that he was going to come back to see Nangongmiao before going there.Nangong Miao is now nine months old, and she is pregnant with twins again, and she may give birth at any time.The midwives and nurses in the mansion were all ready, and the imperial physician from the imperial hospital and Gao Mingde, who had not been back to Beijing for a long time, all said hello.

Shujie gave Nangongmiao a reassuring look: "Don't worry, it's okay, the queen and the fourth prince are very satisfied with Cousin Ting, and they will definitely not treat her badly."

These words are bitter, the royal daughter-in-law is not so easy to do, and she is still a concubine, and the side concubine is also a concubine.However, the empress dowager has directly issued a decree to grant marriage, so it cannot be refused.

The last time Shujie was able to block the Ma family's marriage with a secret emergency engagement, and then openly reject the "equal wife" that Ma Guifei set up, it was because the emperor had not issued an order, and he could feel that the emperor was not happy to see Ma. The "double happiness" in the mouth of the imperial concubine.

And the time the second prince stared at Shuyao, Qi Haoning blocked him with "sight and quick hands".

The premise of these two times was that the emperor had no intention. If the emperor had the intention, or directly granted the marriage, there was nothing they could do.Against the decree?Bo is not his life alone.

However, this time it was the emperor's decision (the empress dowager defends the emperor the most, on the surface it is an imperial edict directly issued by the empress dowager, but in fact she must have discussed it with the emperor in advance, or it was simply an edict issued by the emperor at the behest of the empress dowager), no one can change it.

Fortunately, precisely because this was the emperor's decree and the emperor's deliberate intention, the Yun family and the two marquis' mansions should not be involved in the so-called struggle for the heir apparent.Shujie almost followed the emperor's side closely, and he still knew a little bit about the emperor. The emperor was very satisfied with the Yun family and Yun Deqing's "persistence".

Shujie rushed to the mansion of General Zhongyi with Yong Jin, and was immediately taken by Uncle Rong who was waiting at the concierge to the study of Old General Yun in the main courtyard.The General's Mansion has hired the son of a former loyal servant to be the housekeeper, and Uncle Rong is leading the way.That man is also flexible, and he had many years of experience in managing affairs before he redeemed himself and returned home. It is estimated that Uncle Rong will be able to return to the Lianghou Mansion in ten and a half months.

Uncle Rong looked anxious: "Master, Old General Yun is waiting for you." The chief stewards of rich families are also watching all directions and listening to all directions, and are very concerned about government affairs. sensitivity.

Knowing that the cousin girl was married to the second prince as a side concubine, Uncle Rong is not like those naive little servants and maids who are happy because the general's mansion has become a relative of the emperor and the country. His knowledge allows him to realize that , the relationship centered on the two princes' mansions is now a bit "too strong".

Shujie nodded: "Uncle Rong, go ahead, we can go there by ourselves."

Seeing that Shujie's face seemed quite calm, Uncle Rong couldn't help but feel at ease, and hurriedly agreed, leaving to attend to the General's Mansion.Although the marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager, the engagement procedure still had to go through. The two first-born girls got engaged at the same time, and the general's mansion began to get busy.

As soon as Shujie entered the study, Old General Yun and Yun Deyan looked over anxiously: "Jieer, look here...is there..."

Shujie shook his head: "Probably not, if I'm not wrong, this should mean...." Shujie pointed his right index finger upwards, meaning the emperor.The person who knows the emperor best is the adoptive father, but the adoptive father has gone to Jinzhou, and it will take a few days before returning to Beijing.

Old General Yun let out a soft breath when he heard what Shujie said. This grandson is not very old, but he is very stable and experienced, and he is close to the emperor. He knows better than them. He understands the meaning of Shujie's words. .

Yun Deyan still hesitated and said: "Jie'er, how about the fourth prince...?" The second younger brother has been in the army for many years, and the two nieces grew up in front of him, no different from his own two daughters.He still liked Yun Li's marriage, but Yun Ting married into the royal family as a side concubine...

Shujie seeks truth from facts: "I personally think that the fourth prince is very good, humble, polite, studious, and diligent. In the past few years, those few...uh..., the fourth prince has not made any movement, but has done everything the emperor asked. It's very beautiful. Besides, I heard that besides the concubine, there is only one concubine in the fourth prince's mansion."

Old General Yun made a final decision: "Now it's a foregone conclusion. Let's go and see. In short, we should keep our duty. Ting girl has been smart since she was a child, and her temperament is also stable. I believe she should be able to be herself."

Speaking of this, Old General Yun was a little rejoicing: "It's a good thing it's Ting girl. If it's Li girl, alas, it's really worrying."

Shujie smiled: "Grandpa was worrying too much. The empress dowager is charitable. Since she bestowed marriages on the two cousins, she must have given people a better understanding of the cousin's personality. That Li Bangyan has a good reputation, and his superiors value him very much." He is also very popular among his colleagues, and the situation in his house is quite suitable for Cousin Lier. Grandfather, Li Bangyan has a very good prospect." When Shujie was speaking, his right index finger pointed to it again.

Old General Yun and Yun Deyan understood what Shujie meant, and felt more relieved at the moment.It seems that the emperor may be paving the way for the fourth prince.If the fourth prince is the emperor's choice, they will go with the flow.In short, their Yun family is only loyal to the person who actually sits on the dragon chair.

What Shujie and the others can think of, naturally many people can also think of it.Some people have already started to feel uneasy, and some people are still hesitating: Is this marriage the intention of the empress dowager or the emperor?

The main reason is that the emperor's behavior has always been unpredictable. When everyone was there to make seven or eight remonstrances, the old man didn't respond at all. Everyone was silent. He suddenly sealed two princes without warning.

Another example is the last farce of "The Two Marquis' Mansion Falls Out of Favor", which really made many people beat their chests.

Mr. Yu, who is best at strategizing, is also a little at a loss: "Didn't the emperor accuse the fourth prince of being too hesitant and indecisive in public?" The prince and the third prince don't take him seriously.

You know, as a prince, the future lord of a country, hesitation is a fatal flaw.Moreover, the emperor himself is a very self-centered and dictatorial person, and he doesn't even like hesitant courtiers, so how can he tolerate an indecisive heir to the throne?Are you not afraid that the country will be ruined in his hands?

Yu Zhengran frowned, and snorted coldly: "Sex can often be improved through experience, and the fourth prince is still very young."

Mr. Yu's face suddenly changed when he thought of the seemingly innocuous tasks that the emperor had assigned to the fourth prince over the years. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
