A big gamble: the dandy princess

Chapter 287: Charming Spring (3)
"Earlier, I heard Miss Qin from the Prime Minister's Mansion say that the Seventh Prince loves Xiaoyin very much. I listened to Jing Shizi's Xiaoyin earlier, and now I also want to listen to the Seventh Prince's Xiaoyin. I wonder if the Seventh Prince can give this princess some face?" Ye Qian asked again. Turning to Ye Tianyi.

Yun Qianyue's complexion sank slightly, what did Ye Qian mean by this?Find her to play the piano and Ye Tianyi to play the flute?
Ye Tianyi didn't look at Ye Qian, nor said anything, just lowered his head and sipped the wine.

"The Seventh Prince is not showing respect to this princess?" Ye Qian raised her eyebrows.

"Tian Yi, among my princes, you are the most talented in melody, especially you are good at playing the flute. Since Princess Ye invites you, you can play a ensemble on the qin and flute with Yue Yatou." The old emperor's old eyes flashed brightly. .

"My minister's Xiao is broken, and now I don't have Xiao in my hand." Ye Tianyi's voice was dim.

"You mean the Xiao Duan that your mother concubine left you?" The old emperor was startled.

"Well, it was accidentally broken by Erchen!" Ye Tianyi glanced at Yun Qianyue, which was very deep.

Yun Qianyue remembered that not long ago he played the flute every day, avoiding his gaze.

"The flute that your mother and concubine left you for many years, now that it is broken, it will be broken. Back then, Princess Yun left a green jade flute in my hand, so I will give it to you today! Brunei, go and get it!" The sapphire flute I collected in the Imperial Study Room was given to the Seventh Prince!" The old emperor gave Yun Qianyue a deep look with his old eyes.commanded.

Brunei responded and ran down.

Ye Tianyi got up and kowtowed, "I thank you, Father!"

Yun Qianyue narrowed her eyes, when did her mother leave Qingyu Xiao in the hands of the old emperor.

Probably because her questioning eyes were too obvious, the old emperor explained: "The royal family and Prince Yun's mansion have had the ancestral precept since the first emperor, that daughters from Prince Yun's mansion should enter the palace as descendants. Every generation of daughters from the royal family will exchange tokens with the royal family when they are born. The marriage has been settled. When you were born, the royal family's token was a dragon and phoenix jade pendant, and the token of Yun Wang's mansion was that your mother gave you the sapphire flute she always carried with you as a token of engagement between you and my son. I."

Yun Qianyue's complexion changed, she abolished the ancestral precepts, but the token was not discarded, now the old emperor gave Ye Tianyi, what does that mean?
"Little girl, you can ask your aunt if this is the case. She was there when the token was exchanged." The old emperor turned his head and smiled at the queen, "If I didn't remember that Xiao, I almost wouldn't remember it. Queen, You have a good memory, remember it!"

The queen was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Remember, your majesty is right! Every generation of daughters of Prince Yun's mansion will exchange tokens with the royal family when they are born, and Yue'er was indeed given the sapphire flute by her sister-in-law when she was born as a token of engagement. present."

Yun Qianyue twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, but when I was in trouble, I broke the South China Sea tourmaline bracelet that my aunt passed on to me. Now the emperor's uncle has already abolished the ancestral training. It seems that I It really has nothing to do with the royal family."

"Yue girl, do you know why I didn't agree to your marriage proposal with Shizi Jing?" the old emperor asked suddenly.

Yun Qianyue's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time that the old emperor told her directly about asking for a marriage.She said slowly and casually: "That's because the emperor's uncle doesn't want the marriage between Prince Yun's Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion. I know this. You are afraid that Prince Rong's Mansion and Prince Yun's Mansion will become bigger because of the marriage, threatening your throne!"

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, only Miss Qianyue dared to say this.

"There is some truth in what you said. It must be in the Chaoyan Dynasty. I am in charge of the country and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. Naturally, no one will be allowed to be the big one. But it is also because the first emperor established the Four Princes' Palace in the first place. It is stipulated that the Four Princes' Houses are not allowed to marry, and this can only be regarded as a small part of the reason." The old emperor changed his voice, "The biggest reason is that even if the ancestral precepts are abolished, the marriage between you and the royal family since childhood will not be dissolved. If you cancel, you are a member of the royal family, even if you don't marry the prince or become the queen, you are still the daughter-in-law I have decided long ago, and there is absolutely no reason to marry someone else after changing it."

Yun Qianyue's hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, she didn't even know there was such a move.

"Queen, you should be the one who knows the most about this matter from the beginning to the end. Do you still remember what I said at that time?"

The queen glanced at Yun Qianyue worriedly, suppressed her helplessness, and nodded, "I remember that the emperor said that this was a fixed ceremony. Your majesty, you gave it to your son not as the king of a country, but as a father." Dingli. Regarding the ancestor's precepts, it is better if Yue'er likes the prince, but if you don't like the prince, no matter which son of yours Yue'er likes in the future, you will fulfill it."

"Well, the empress has a really good memory!" The old emperor nodded with a smile, then looked at Lord Yun again, "Brother Yun, do you remember?"

Prince Yun shook his head in a daze, "Go back to the emperor, I don't seem to remember!"

"Oh, I just remembered, it was just three days after Yue girl was born, and you were sick in bed, so the matter was decided by the old prince, Princess Yun, the queen, and me." The old emperor seemed to recall the situation at that time, suddenly said.

Prince Yun wiped his sweat, "Yes, it's such a long time ago, I don't remember it anymore!"

"Compared to the Queen and Zhen, Brother Yun is indeed forgetful, but it's not your fault. It's because you suffered from an old disease and hurt your mind in order to save me. So many years... Hey, I always feel right. You feel guilty." The old emperor sighed.

"It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. The old minister is loyal to the emperor, as long as the emperor has nothing to do." Prince Yun said quickly.

"Yue girl has liked my prince for ten years, and I have always thought that Yue girl will be the prince's concubine in the future. This little girl has a stubborn temper, and the prince doesn't know how to let her go. To be honest, I have been very worried these years. Later, I didn't expect the prince to like her. It was Miss Qin from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Yue Yatou actually didn’t like the prince, but pretended. I saw that it was not a marriage, so I followed her will and abolished the ancestral training of the first emperor. Later, I learned that this little girl and I The Seventh Prince has known each other since they were young, and they have been in correspondence for several years, so they are very happy. But I don’t want the two of them to have some misunderstanding, and now the little girl is not married to Prince Jing, which really gives me a headache.” The old emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead.

Prince Yun didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent.

Yun Qianyue pursed her lips slightly, but said nothing.She wanted to see what the old emperor had in mind.

"Yue girl grew up under my watch. She is not afraid of me, and I can't scare her even if I scare her. I really have nothing to do with her. Therefore, I also look away, and decide for themselves the young people's affairs!" The old emperor After saying these words, he put down his hand and said to Ye Tianyi: "Tianyi, I know that you like Yue girl in your heart, and I don't know what misunderstanding has arisen between you, and you are still arguing about it. Today, I will give you the token of love that Princess Yun gave back then. The sapphire flute is given to you, it means that I and Princess Yun made a marriage agreement for you and Yue girl. From now on, you can do it according to your own needs! I don’t care whether you want to divorce the marriage or marry Yue girl in!"

Yun Qianyue felt a chill in her heart, thinking that the old emperor would not force her to marry her now, knowing that she would resist, but she came up with this trick.This trick looks soft, but it actually tied her and Rongjing's mutual affection to the parallel line of Ye Tianyi's marriage contract with her since childhood, making her unable to get up or down.

"Yes! My son must treat the marriage with Yue'er with caution!" Ye Tianyi bowed his head respectfully.

"Okay! I believe in my son! At the same time, I also believe that Yue Yatou didn't know that this matter was decided by Princess Yun herself. If she knew, she would definitely not keep talking about marriage as a joke. She was not arguing to marry me since she was a child. The crown prince, is clamoring to marry Rong Feng, and then clamoring to marry Prince Jing." The old emperor smiled and said: "Princess Yun's spirit in the sky will be gratified!"

"I think my mother's wish is just to see me happy!" Yun Qianyue smiled faintly, "Uncle Emperor is worrying too much!"

"You little girl, whether you are happy or not depends on your fate. Your fate and Tianyi are destined. From the first time you met, you dragged him out to play, and then the two of you came back covered in mud. After ten years On my birthday, Tianyi drew lots to the mansion next to Prince Yun's mansion. Afterwards, you sat on the wall and played every day. Don't think I don't know. What I don't know is that Tianyi left the capital for the past five years, and now Knowing that you have also been communicating with each other. After so many years of entanglement, I feel that you are not clear. Who can clear you up?" The old emperor looked at Rong Jing again and smiled, "I remember Jing The prince also has a marriage contract."

Yun Qianyue was startled, and turned to look at Rongjing.I saw Rong Jing lowered his head slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, he only saw one side of him, and the whole person was indescribably quiet.She couldn't believe it, Rong Jing also had a marriage contract?with who?

"A hundred years ago when the first emperor first established his dynasty, he married Empress Zhenjing. However, Empress Zhenjing once fell into a spell without knowing it because she followed the first emperor to fight in southern Xinjiang, but the curse broke out on the wedding day. Wang is proficient in medical skills, and he was diagnosed with the life and death curse of Nanjiang. This kind of curse has no solution." The old emperor spoke slowly, and suddenly looked at Ye Qian, "Princess Ye, you are the princess of Nanjiang. It should be the clearest, is there a life-and-death mantra?"

Ye Qian nodded, "That's right! There is a life-and-death curse, but this kind of curse is now extinct!"

The old emperor nodded and continued: "Empress Zhenjing's life and death curse was blocked by the first emperor at that time, and only the four kings, the emperor and the king of Nanjiang knew about it. The emperor sent someone to invite the king of Nanjiang to Tiansheng, Nanjiang The king was unable to break the curse, but he gave a glimmer of life, that is, there is something in the world that can restrain the curse of life and death, but that thing is in the East China Sea country to the east of the East China Sea. According to ancient legends, there is an evil spirit bead in the East China Sea. Beads can restrain life and death curses. Princess Ye should also know this, right?"

"I know." Ye Qian nodded.

"The first emperor, Ai Zhenjing, naturally couldn't let go of a glimmer of hope, so he ordered King Rong to go to find the East China Sea. It took half a year to go there. After half a year, King Rong finally returned to Tiansheng with the evil spirit beads. But with Rong The king came back with another woman. She is the princess of Donghai Kingdom." The old emperor continued: "The woman saved Queen Zhenjing with the evil spirit beads. She fell in love with King Rong and wanted to marry herself, but the goddess has a dream. King Rong has no intentions. The woman is also a strong person, so she didn't bother her much, and only asked King Rong to agree to one condition, that is, to establish a marriage contract between the children, and the marriage contract will continue to the next generation."

Yun Qianyue looked at Rongjing, saw his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and knew that what the old emperor said was true. She never thought that there was such a secret, but she had never heard of it.
