The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 30
Ye Xiangwan then said: "Grandmother, I think this matter should be true, sister can't lie."

"Then how would Concubine Rong know about this?" Mrs. Ye said with a full face, "I just had this idea, and I haven't said it yet..." When she said this, she was suddenly taken aback.

Ye Xiangwan looked at her expression and asked, "Grandma, did you remember something?"

Mrs. Ye turned her head, looked at her fixedly, and said: "Before I came to Jokhang Temple, I once complained about your eldest sister to your father. He was in a bad mood at the time, and he also said that he would send your eldest sister to the family temple. Could it be that he slipped his tongue when he went out to drink with people?"

Ye Xiangwan was also a little surprised, but quickly said: "Grandmother, there is a possibility, but this is our own business, how can outsiders care about it? And how did this word reach the ears of Concubine Rong?" go?"

"Ah Wan! Tell me, could it be that your elder sister guessed our intentions, so she deliberately said that in front of Concubine Rong?" Mrs. Ye said with disgust: "She wants the empress to speak for her, so that you don't have to stay In the family temple?"

Ye Xiangwan was taken aback. She glanced at Mrs. Ye, thought for a while, and said, "I was outside just now, and my granddaughter looked at Eldest Sister's expression. She seems to have just found out about this, and she doesn't seem to be lying. Besides, Concubine Rong obviously I already loathe her, and these elder sisters know it well, she brought our family's affairs to Concubine Rong and told her, this is not asking for humiliation, what is it? How can Concubine Rong help her!"

"So, my granddaughter thinks that this matter should be true." Ye Xiangwan said firmly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye frowned and thought for a long time, but finally accepted the explanation reluctantly: "Okay! Even if Concubine Rong raised this matter herself, it is a fact that she hates your elder sister !"

As she said that, she turned her head and said with worry on her face: "Ah Wan, let's think of a way to make the empress change her impression of you..."

"Grandmother, don't be in a hurry." Ye Xiangwan smiled after hearing this, and comforted him: "Can I still ask my granddaughter to go to Concubine Rong to show her courteousness? We have lowered our status for nothing! Didn't the emperor say that before?" What? As long as the First Prince is satisfied with the candidate for the Crown Princess, he will agree! So the most important thing now is to win the First Prince's favor."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye immediately showed a smile on her wrinkled face. She reached out and held Ye Xiangwan's hand, and said with great relief: "You are still thoughtful! With your words, Grandmother already knew that the position of Crown Princess would fall on you in all likelihood!"

"Grandmother, it's still too early to say that." Ye Xiangwan lowered her head shyly and pinched her sleeves.

Mrs. Ye laughed out loud.

At this moment, Li Momo walked in from outside and said: "Old lady, Second Miss, Eldest Miss asked the servant to bring a word back!"

As soon as the word "Miss" was uttered, the harmonious atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.

Mrs. Ye put away the smile on her face, and asked impatiently: "What's the matter with her?"

"Back to the old lady, the eldest lady said that when she came out from Concubine Rong, she heard someone say that the eldest prince was ill, and she felt that this matter should be told to the second lady." Li Momo lowered her head and said.

"Is the eldest prince sick?" Mrs. Ye was taken aback immediately: "It must have been frightened by that funeral star yesterday!" Whenever Ye Zhaoqing was mentioned, her expression was always full of disgust.

Ye Xiangwan was different. She glanced at Nanny Li in surprise, and said, "Grandmother, now is not the time to blame my sister. The most important thing is that the eldest prince is ill. Should we send someone over to take a look?"

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "That's right! Someone should be sent to have a look! Who should I send?" As she spoke, her eyes fell on Ye Xiangwan.

How could Ye Xiangwan not know what his grandmother was thinking?She bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, the granddaughter is the eldest daughter of Ningguohou's mansion after all, so if she visits the door regardless of her status, if it spreads, she will get a frivolous reputation..."

"Why is the eldest prince sick? It's the time when he needs people the most!" Mrs. Ye said with a serious expression, "Whoever visits at this time can walk into his heart and become the only one. When you become the princess, Who dares to say that you are frivolous!"

Ye Xiangwan was overjoyed when she heard this, but for some reason, she still had some hesitation on her face.

"Okay, it's late, you've been waiting for this moment for so long, and so is grandma. We can't let this opportunity go!" Mrs. Ye patted Ye Zhaoqing's hand and said solemnly: "You bring a gift. Gua Guo go visit him! Grandma will take care of everything for you!"

"Yes, grandma." Although Ye Xiangwan was still a little hesitant, he obediently agreed.

Mrs. Ye's face was filled with joy immediately, and she hurriedly turned around to give orders to Nanny Li and Nanny Lin.

Seeing her busy appearance, Ye Xiangwan felt a little excited, but also a little apprehensive, and involuntarily thought of going to see Li Yu.

Who doesn't like such a handsome young man, the proud son of heaven?

But after all, she was cautious by nature, so she pulled Nanny Li to question her.

"Mommy, have you ever sent someone to inquire about the eldest prince? Is he really sick?"

"Returning to Second Miss, the Eldest Prince has been living next door to us, but these two days he has moved to Concubine Rong's place. This servant really doesn't know if he is sick."

Seeing that she couldn't come up with anything, Ye Xiangwan frowned involuntarily. She turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Ye who was excitedly directing Qiao Yuan to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find supplements, and said in a deep voice, "Grandmother, don't prepare. I'm not going."

The expression on Mrs. Ye's face froze, and the smile gradually disappeared. She took a fixed look at Ye Xiangwan, frowned and said, "Ah Wan, you always know the general idea, what's the matter today? Why don't you want to go? But scared? That's okay, grandma will accompany you..."

"Grandmother! Granddaughter, I don't mean that!" Ye Xiangwan interrupted: "The granddaughter thinks that the empress invited the elder sister first, and we learned the news later, so rushing over so rashly will only make the empress look down on us. How about this, let's spread the news that the First Prince is ill, and we'll go when someone comes to our door!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye was immediately annoyed and funny: "Ah Wan, you should put your reputation more important! It's too late to keep things like the eldest prince's illness a secret. Why do you want to leave?"

Ye Xiangwan took a step forward, held her hand and said, "It's one thing for those daughters to know, but it's another thing whether they can see Concubine Rong or not! The granddaughter ran so excitedly, what if she is rejected by the empress?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing to go outside the gate? Why don't we let others lead the battle first, it won't be too late if we have full confidence!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye saw the determined look on Ye Xiangwan's face, and couldn't help but smile.

yes!What is she nervous about?I have the most beautiful granddaughter in the world, so I am afraid that the eldest prince will not obediently bow down under the pomegranate skirt?

If you really care about it, you will be messed up.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye finally settled her buttocks.She naturally agreed to what Ye Xiangwan asked for.

As Ye Xiangwan had expected, after hearing the news of Li Yu's illness, all the daughters who lived in the Jokhang Temple and hadn't left came to the door one after another, but unfortunately, they were all stopped by Li Yu's order Outside the door, no one was seen.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Ye couldn't help admiring Ye Xiangwan even more: "Ah Wan, you're still thoughtful! It's a good thing we didn't go!"

Ye Xiangwan smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it's nothing. The granddaughter just guessed that the eldest prince is still angry. At this moment, no one wants to see him at all."

Mrs. Ye nodded, she didn't know what she thought of, and then she became angry: "Then what does it mean to clarify her? Why did she ask Nanny Li to bring this news back? Does she want to see you make a fool of her?" Satisfied? This black-hearted rotten thing!"

"Grandmother, stop scolding!" Ye Xiangwan persuaded: "Sister, she also has good intentions. After all, we don't know about the eldest prince's illness..."

"There are fewer bad things she has done with good intentions?" Mrs. Ye did not buy it, and she became more determined to send Ye Zhaoqing to the family temple: "We can't let her go back! Ah Wan, this time, don't try to persuade her again." Already!"

"Yes, grandma." Ye Zhaoqing lowered his head and said.

……

"So, only the second lady of the Ye family didn't come to see Yu'er today?" In the quiet hall, Concubine Rong leaned lazily on the soft couch and spoke slowly.

"Yes, empress." Gong'e, who was kneeling in front of her, lowered her head and reported; "The Ye family just sent some people to send some tonics to express condolences, and Second Miss Ye did not come in person."

After hearing this, Concubine Rong slowly raised her lips, showing a smile: "This girl can keep her temper. I heard that she is the most beautiful among these girls?"

"Yes, my lady." Gong'e bowed her head and said, "I have seen this second lady before, she is indeed the most beautiful, and she has the best temperament, even the concubine Liu in the palace can't compare to it! If she After entering the palace, our First Prince's heart will definitely be all on this Second Miss Ye, and we won't even look at anyone else..."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Rong's face changed suddenly, she flicked her hand violently, and the teapot on the kang table fell down, smashing it on the face of the maid!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The maid was startled, she didn't care about the hot tea on her face, or the blood gushing out of her head, she couldn't stop begging.

"You are not allowed to mention the name Concubine Liu in front of this palace, don't you know?" Concubine Rong said coldly, "Pull it down!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare your life!" The palace woman begged desperately, her eyes full of horror.
