The little lady in the palace

Chapter 177 Dispute
Yu Jing was made very sad by her brother's words, and she understood his inner struggle.She wanted to hide this worry for him, but this time, Meng Shiying miscalculated.

It has only been five days since the matter of selecting the prince and concubine has been handed down, and more than ten noble ladies have already lived in the palace.

It is also easy for noble ladies to come in and choose.They were originally people with quite a background in Beijing, and it is common for them to enter the palace to greet them.In this way, you only need to make a special trip to kowtow to the queen when entering the palace, expressing your desire to serve the eldest son of the emperor, the queen understands, and instructs Gandong Wusuo to arrange a residence for you, and you can stay temporarily.

Yu Jing was deeply surprised by this, and felt that they must have been forced in by her family, but the concubine didn't think it was strange.

An Liao shook his head and sighed: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. I think this is what His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor thought...too simple. He thinks that if he has been ill for many years, no girl will dare to marry him." But how is it actually possible? Marrying him is the only prince's official wife in the world today! Furthermore, even though His Highness is dying soon, the Emperor is still in good health. As long as the Emperor thinks about his son, this prince and concubine will enjoy endless glory , even power is at your fingertips. So why do you need to be persecuted by your family? People who are careful and careful will come by themselves after thinking clearly about the gains and losses."

Yu Jing was shocked for a moment, and then sighed for her brother again.

Her elder brother is also very good at "planning and calculating". He can think clearly about the pros and cons of everything, and he always makes decisions quickly and neatly.This time, the miscalculation must be because the sweetheart messed up his mind and made him force himself to think of the worst in everything, which resulted in such a result.

Or, it's because although my elder brother is used to dealing with all kinds of conflicts between the court and China, he still believes in the word "love" in his heart.

Both of them believed in this word.The love between their father, queen and queen has not changed for several years, and they all believe in the beauty of this word.

that……

Yu Jing became more and more worried, not knowing what kind of mood her elder brother would feel if he believed in this word and saw others use it for calculations and seek their future.

She slumped on Luohan's bed and did not speak. An Liao looked up and put down his pen, and went to sit beside Luohan's bed: "Don't think about it."

"How could I not want to..." Yu Jing sighed, and An Liao said, "Then you should think about it."

Yu Jing didn't know how to think better, she frowned and looked at him, waiting for his inspiration.

An Liao then said: "Maybe His Highness will find a more suitable girl among the candidates, maybe the girl he likes has also entered the palace? Isn't it just right, one is willing to marry the other. If you want to marry, he can just ask the emperor to issue a canonization order."

Yu Jing curled her lips, thinking that if this is the case, it would be really wonderful.But such plots probably only happen in stories, and reality is always crueler.

She moved her body while thinking, and rubbed against An Liao's knees. An Liao stroked her back with a smile, and said, "If you are really worried, all the noble ladies who are going to enter the palace will go in in a few days." , you can help His Highness take a look yourself. Even if they are all careful, you can help His Highness choose someone with better character and appearance."

This is true.

Yu Jing nodded sullenly, feeling too suffocated to speak.

In Qingyuan, a quarrel exploded in the study room, all the servants were kicked out, and even the servants who came up to them retreated far away.

"There is no need to discuss this matter, absolutely not!" Xie Jiqing jumped up, pointed at his daughter who was sitting on the other side of the study, and said, "What crazy words are you talking about? Are you going straight to widowhood!"

Seeing this posture, Yu Yin and Meng Junhuai were afraid that he would hit someone if he said he was in a hurry, so they hurriedly blocked and persuaded him in the middle.Meng Junhuai said: "Brother Xie, sit down first, Xi Yao is not ignorant, you should listen to what she has to say!"

Yu Yin also said: "Yes brother, Xi Yao is also a child we watched growing up. Don't get angry, and listen to her what she thinks."

But having said that, both of them are silently thinking...Xi Yao, aren't you making fun of yourself?

Convincing Xie Jiqing to sit down, Xi Yao stood up and took two steps forward, opening her mouth with red eyes, "I just want to marry him, I...I like him!"

"Shut up!" Xie Jiqing shouted angrily.

Xie Xiyao's anger was also yelled at: "Isn't he just poisoned and his health is not good!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, she wiped them carelessly and said: "But he is capable and talented, and he treats people well. He is more to my liking than the people my family picked for me! I don't care how he is! I marry him today, and he will be gone tomorrow, and I am happy in my heart! I am happy to be a widow for his whole life! This is much better than marrying those dudes for a lifetime of being aggrieved!"

"Xie Xiyao, you..." Xie Jiqing gritted his teeth and stood up again.Yuyin, who was drinking tea, immediately put down the teacup and stood in front of him: "Brother, you have something to say."

Then she turned to Xi Yao: "Xi Yao, don't be angry with your father, let's discuss this matter slowly."

"There's nothing to discuss, this matter won't work!" Xie Jiqing said decisively.

"If it doesn't work, I won't marry for the rest of my life!" Xi Yao confronted him, "If you want me to marry the one you pick, I'd rather stay in my own home for the rest of my life!"

"Then the Xie family will support you for the rest of your life!" Xie Jiqing was also unambiguous, and Xi Yao's eyes were red again just after holding back the tears: "You are unreasonable!"

After she yelled this sentence, she turned around and ran out of the study crying. Yuyin didn't even stop her by calling "Xi Yao" twice. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xie Jiqing who was about to step up to chase him, and then stretched out her hand to hold him down: "Brother !"

Meng Junhuai also hurried over to help her, frowning while blocking Xie Jiqing: "Brother Xie, you can't talk to Xi Yao now, let's sit down and talk first..."

"There's nothing to talk about!" Xie Jiqing gritted his teeth angrily, "Get out of the way, let me beat her up! This girl can't do it anymore!"

The husband and wife both stared at each other, and quickly exchanged looks. Meng Junhuai said in a deep voice, "Brother Xie, you are messing around with me. If I let the guards throw you out, you will lose face, right?"

"You..." Xie Jiqing's eyes were about to burst, and Meng Junhuai patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "So, let's talk. How about this, you go back first, let's chat with Xi Yao, and discuss the long-term plan, okay?"

If it was in Xie's residence, Xie Jiqing would never agree to his suggestion, even if he tied Xi Yao up at home, he would have to destroy her thoughts.But now on other people's territory, he couldn't help but force it.

So Xie Jiqing forced himself to calm down, tightened his grip, and let out a breath of relief: "Forget it, please Your Highness, I will wait for His Highness's letter."

After Xie Jiqing left, Yuyin led people to search around, and finally found Xiyao by the lake.

When she saw her by the lake for the first time, she raised her heartstrings and said to herself, why is this child going to throw himself into the lake?Take a closer look and settle down.

Xi Yao looked quite calm as she sat there, with her knees folded and her back facing her, raising her arms occasionally, as if she was wiping her tears.

Yuyin signaled others to wait here, walked forward and called softly: "Xiyao?"

Xi Yao turned her head, and sure enough she was sobbing and choking: "Auntie..."

"Hey, don't cry." Yuyin sat next to her and stretched out her arms to hug her, "You heard from your aunt that marriage is a lifetime event, and you can't just think about marrying someone just because the person your family chooses doesn't satisfy you. The eldest son of the emperor, in the end, only you will suffer from such anger. In fact, if you really don't have a satisfied person, it's no big deal to stay at home all the time. Your father just said that the Xie family will support you for the rest of your life, and it wasn't all out of anger."

Xi Yao was leaning in her arms, and while listening to her, tears flowed out again.

She suddenly felt that why are adults like this?She didn't like the person they picked because she had high vision; but they didn't like the person she picked because she was angry?
After a long silence, she hoarsely felt aggrieved: "But I really like His Royal Highness the eldest son..."

Yu Yin was startled.

"I've been thinking about him recently. I've been thinking about him since before he planned to choose the princess concubine." She wiped away her tears, "I thought he was very nice from the very beginning, and when I entered the palace during the Chinese New Year, I felt that he treated me again." It's also very nice... I don't know if he treats all girls like this, but I always think what if he doesn't? What if he likes me too? So I want to go to the palace and try it out, if he picks me, it will prove me That's right! If he doesn't pick on me... I'll never miss him!"

"Xi Yao..." Yu Yin turned back in shock, stretched out her hand to support her shoulders, looked directly at her and said, "Don't be confused, you have to know that if he really chooses you, he will open his bow." There is no turning back...but he chose you, but it doesn't prove that you are right! He may also just want to choose a noble girl with a decent family background, education and appearance to be the princess, and it may not have anything to do with whether he likes you or not."

Xi Yao was stunned, knowing that what she said was reasonable, but after she was stunned, she still said with a bit of confusion: "But I like him..."

Yu Yin: "..."

She seemed to understand that now in Xi Yao's heart, she was praying that the eldest son of the emperor would also like her, and at the same time she was telling herself that it didn't matter if he didn't like him, she liked him anyway.

In short, she just wanted to guard the eldest son of the emperor.Because of him in her heart, she, who used to look down on those playboys, now looks down on others even more.

"Xi Yao, you..." Yu Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.Xi Yao felt very helpless, sobbing and buried her in her arms: "I can't forget him, the moment I closed my eyes, I saw the picture of him talking to me in the pavilion that day! Auntie, can you persuade my father... let me Go and try it out! If I can be his wife, no matter 30 years to 50 years, ten years to 20 years, or a year or two...even a day or two, I will be happy! I am not afraid of being a widow, but I am willing to die Well, I will bear all the consequences myself, Auntie, can you persuade my father..."

"...You child." Yu Yin sighed helplessly.

She asked herself to understand her brother, knew that he loved this daughter so much, and felt that it would not make sense to him.

Especially something like "I will admit it even if I have to be buried", if she really dared to tell her brother, he would really dare to kill him and take a table with Xi Yao again.

However, Xi Yao is also very firm.Speaking of this, she couldn't say that Xi Yao was acting impulsively or out of anger.

She would like to believe that this feeling is true, but what should she do?
