Chapter 32
Episode 032

Dong Yuan held the old lady's hand, and the palm was slightly sweaty.

A kind of terror with an uncertain future flowed through her limbs, making her breathing feel suffocated, and there was thin thin sweat on her forehead.

In a society ruled by man, those in power keep their promises, and people's lives are like ants. They cannot refute or fight. They can only pin their fate on luck. No matter how hard they try, it may all come to nothing in the end.

Dong Yuan followed the old lady, stepped through the hall step by step, and stepped out of the hanging flower door, as if stepping on the tip of a knife.Thick frost hangs on the twigs of the trees on both sides, which are as gorgeous as silver-plated in the early morning sunlight, with a dazzling luster.Trembling in the breeze, I don't know if it's Qiu Zhi or Dong Yuan's heart.

The old lady squeezed her hand hard, causing her pain. When she came back to her senses, she looked up and saw grandmother's slightly cloudy but sharp eyes: "Sister Yuan, don't be afraid!"

Dong Yuan suddenly burst into tears, she murmured to her grandmother, her voice choked up, and she lowered her voice: "Grandmother, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and the imperial concubine do not like me..."

The women in charge of the Sixth Palace don't like Dong Yuan. If she enters the palace, one can imagine her future.

There was a little smile in the eyes of the old lady, and she also whispered: "The empress dowager doesn't like you, so you don't have to be afraid!"

The empress dowager doesn't like her, so she won't let her into the palace!

In a word, as if seeing the bright moon after parting the clouds, Dongyuan Yuyu Feifei's heart was dazedly illuminated by some bright and scorching sun, her heart lightened seven or eight points, she was still worried, but she didn't dare to say more.

An incense table was set up in the outer courtyard, Master Xue led the crowd to kneel down, and Dong Yuan knelt at the back.She was wearing an official green pleated Ruyi skirt embroidered with butterflies and spring patterns, and she wore knee-length pants, but when she was kneeling, the cold still soaked through the thick dress and penetrated into her skin, giving her a bone-piercing chill.

With the palm on the ground, the long, white and slender fingers like green onions stretched out, the fingertips were red from the cold.

The eunuch's soft voice rang in my ears: "By God, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Dongyuan Xue, the granddaughter of Zhenxian Hou Xue Zhenxian, has a quiet appearance and gentle appearance, is gentle and graceful, graceful and graceful, graceful and quiet, and has a sensitive and intelligent personality. The Empress Dowager and I were very pleased to hear about it, so I made Princess Roujia the daughter of the same prince, just like my sisters. I gave 400 hectares of fertile land and [-] taels of gold. I will announce it both at home and abroad, and the envoys will hear about it. I respect you.”

The eunuch's voice fell, and all the birds and birds in the yard fell silent.

Dong Yuan finally stopped trembling, stood up respectfully, bypassed Old Master Xue, stepped forward to accept the order, raised his head above his head, and respectfully thanked the Lord for His grace.

I didn't see the timidity and fear just now.

Her heart finally settled down.

It is not an edict to enter the palace.

The eldest son Xue Ziyou and his wife looked at each other in blank dismay.The old lady's expression was slightly subdued, Old Master Xue had already got up, greeted the eunuch, and asked the Shizi to personally reward him with 50 taels of silver and send it out of the gate.

The eunuch happily said that Marquis Zhenxian was being polite, and went with his son with a smile.

The old Hou Ye, the old lady, Mrs. Shizi and Dong Yuan were left in the courtyard.

None of the four knew what to say first.

It is inexplicable that Dong Yuan was suddenly named princess for no reason.Abnormality is a monster, the old lady's eyes that have experienced the world's calm and calm eyes have a rare uneasiness, and she glanced at the old master.

Old Hou Ye also frowned slightly.

Seeing everyone standing, Old Hou Ye said in a deep voice, "Go in and talk."

Different from when they just came here, Old Hou Ye and Mrs. Xue walked a little hurriedly, Mrs. Shizi didn't dare to say more, she looked carefully at Dong Yuan, then at Old Hou Xue and Mrs. Xue, her face was slightly heavy.

Although Dong Yuan didn't know exactly what happened, he knew one thing: it was really impossible for her to enter the palace!If she wants to enter the palace, she won't be named princess suddenly.Making her the princess is like sworn brother and sister with the emperor.

But why she was named princess, she didn't know.

If the empress dowager doesn't want her to enter the palace, it's fine not to mention her from now on. She hinted to the old Hou Ye that he likes the eleventh girl Xue Dongshu, and Dong Yuan will definitely be excluded. There is no reason to make her the princess, it's unnecessary.

Behind the illogicality, there may be more problems.But from the point of view of drinking poison to quench thirst, her biggest worry at present has been resolved.Nothing scares her more than entering the palace.

Dong Yuan's short-lived joy can't be suppressed, his heart seems to be in full bloom, the green trees are luxuriant, the shadows of flowers are swaying, his slanted eyes can't help but bend, and there are sparkling lights floating.

Back at Rongde Pavilion, everyone in the Xue family was there, asking what was the matter.

There was no joy in the voice of Shizi's wife, and she narrated flatly: "Your Majesty has appointed Sister Yuan as Princess Roujia."

For a while, Rongde Pavilion was also silent, everyone was stunned, their eyes fell on Dong Yuan's face, as if they wanted to see the reason of the matter through her seductive face.

Dong Yuan quietly endured everyone's jealous eyes, neither happy nor coquettish, like a pool of water, transparent to the bottom but without half a trace.

Master Xue cleared his throat: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Let's all pay New Year's greetings. It's rare to go out for a day of fun."

All the aunts and sisters came back to their senses, congratulated Dong Yuan, greeted her, respectfully called her Princess Roujia, and then dispersed.

Mrs. Shizi left at last, seeing that only Dong Yuan was in the room, she smiled and said that she was going to arrange for people to come and go, so she left first.

Dong Yuan didn't move, but looked at the old lady in a little bewilderment.

The old lady called her to her side, and looked at her with a smile: "Sister Yuan, your father was only compiled from the sixth-rank Imperial Academy, and has no title. The emperor rewards you like this, I'm afraid everyone will not accept it, you must remember to be diligent in the future." Shushun, you can't ask someone to find fault!"

Dong Yuan lowered his eyes and said yes.

The old lady was very satisfied with her attitude, and her voice became softer three points: "Sister Yuan, your grandfather was a first-rank official in the dynasty, one of the three princes, a grand teacher, and a hereditary first-class auxiliary general. Zhenxianhou! So many years , the former emperor and His Majesty had many rewards for the Xue family, but your grandfather was afraid that the moon would be a loss, so he declined them all. Our family can afford a false name of Princess Roujia without a fief!"

Dong Yuan suddenly raised his eyes, looked at the old lady, and said gratefully: "Grandmother, I made a note of it!"

The old lady's eyes became more and more pitiful, and she took out a purse with gold-bottomed emerald emerald patterns from her sleeve and gave it to her, and said with a smile: "The red envelope that grandma gave you is only for you!"

Dong Yuan laughed, her eyes shone brightly like a star, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, thanked the old lady for the reward, and helped Ju Hong out of Rongde Pavilion.

Juhong's face couldn't hide her excitement, just after leaving the Rongde Pavilion, she couldn't wait to ask Dong Yuan in a low voice: "Miss, the emperor rewarded you as Princess Roujia?"

Dong Yuan nodded, without any joy on her face, after the excitement just passed, she began to worry about the troubles behind again.

Ju Hong's excitement suddenly faded away, and she asked anxiously: "Is it okay, miss, are you unhappy? Only the daughter of the prince can be named princess!"

"That's right, only the daughter of a prince can be named princess!" Dong Yuan sighed, her father is not a prince, why did she suddenly become princess.

The joy of not having to enter the palace has been gradually dissipated by fear, and Dong Yuan's heart sank a little.

Ju Hong seemed to understand something, but she still didn't quite understand, and looked at Dong Yuan uneasily.

Dong Yuan straightened his mind and said with a smile: "The emperor also bestowed 400 pieces of fertile land and [-] taels of gold!"

So there are still some forced smiles.

Ju Hong's joy also sank, she managed to force a smile, and said, "The young lady has gotten rich."

That's right, the name of Princess Roujia, 400 pieces of fertile land, [-] taels of gold, is a generous dowry, she has indeed made a fortune.Hearing Ju Hong's joking words, Dong Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, his winking eyes were entwined with a touch of joy like silk.

Ju Hong also laughed, and quietly supported Dong Yuan, the master and servant went back to Shicui Pavilion without saying a word all the way.
