The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1540 1563 Happiness is Simple (3)

"Could it be that in Qingqing's heart, I'm the kind of person who likes to join in the fun?" Jing Ye asked with a smile.

Lan Qingqing raised her eyebrows lightly, not knowing how to answer his rhetorical question.

Over there, Ye Shangshu had already come over and bowed to the two of them: "The prince and the princess go to the wing room to rest first, it's really too noisy here."

Jing Ye chuckled lightly and said, "Uncle Lao will lead the way."

Ye Shangshu smiled and led the two of them into the back house of Ye Mansion. Although Ye Mansion and Chu Mansion are both famous families in Beijing, their styles are completely different.

The Chu Mansion is full of century-old trees, and all the buildings have the roughness of a general. There are also many century-old trees in the Ye Mansion, but those buildings are much more beautiful. From the rockery pavilions to the attics and pavilions, everywhere They are exquisite and elegant everywhere.

The bookish atmosphere has been well conveyed through those buildings.

The population of Ye Mansion is much more complicated than that of Chu Mansion, because Chu Manor is a military general, and his descendants often die on the battlefield for many years, so the population of Chu Mansion is not prosperous.

But Ye Mansion, a hundred-year-old family, is very prosperous. Ye Shangshu has five brothers, and he himself has six sons. His other brothers each have several sons. Only Ye Shangshu's branch Rongchang, and the Emperor Daxing always wanted to suppress the Ye Mansion when he was alive, so the Ye Mansion had only Ye Shangshu's Changrong branch. Although the other branches came from the Ye Mansion, they were not controlled in the court Regardless of any rights, he is also extremely low-key in dealing with affairs in Beijing.

When Lan Qingqing and Jing Ye heard the names of a large number of people and the names of several rooms when they arrived in the inner mansion, no matter how good her memory was, her ears were buzzing, and she didn't remember a few people.

It was only then that she remembered that although Jing Ye called Ye Shangshu his uncle, he didn't seem to be close to Ye Shangshu. The two had been married for such a long time. From time to time, she could only see the people in half of the backyard, and she just felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, those people are also polite, after inviting her to the back room to see her, no one bothered her again.

Jing Ye wanted to laugh when he saw her caressing her forehead, so he made a cup of tea for her himself, and said softly: "When the emperor was here, he once told me that for the royal family, only brothers with the surname Jing They can be regarded as my real relatives. Other people with foreign surnames, such as uncles of the country, are at most distant relatives, and they don’t need to be too close. Because the emperor had such an order, so even if it is a festival, the queen mother They never let us take the initiative to come to Yefu to pay New Year's greetings, it has become a habit over the years."

Lan Qingqing couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard the words. In ordinary people's families, if such relatives are probably very close, they didn't expect that Emperor Daxing would have such relatives at that time.

It stands to reason that the empress dowager is already the empress of Emperor Daxing, and the relationship between the two must be very good, and the normal movement between relatives should be allowed. Was it because Emperor Daxing issued such a ban at the beginning? Prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power?

After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. Even if she was afraid of foreign relatives being monopolized, the relations among relatives should be whatever they were. There was no need to make such a rule, saying that except for the royal family with the surname Jing, other people were not considered relatives. Also too weird.
