The courtyard is deep in spring
Chapter 31 What If She Kefu?
Chapter 31 What If She Kefu?
But Concubine Rong was unmoved, and soon, several thick women rushed in from outside the door, dragging her down like chickens.
Concubine Rong didn't even have a trace of a smile on her face, her eyes were gloomy, she watched all this expressionlessly.
"Oh! What are you doing!" At this moment, a bouncing figure came in from the door, seeing Gong'e being dragged away, he was startled: "Xiaoyue, what are you doing?" gone?"
When the Gong'e named Xiaoyue saw the person coming, she immediately begged like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw: "Miss Fang Six, please help! Please let your mother spare this servant!"
She struggled too hard, and because of Fang Zhilin, those women couldn't help but relax their strength, and she broke free.
After Fang Zhilin heard this, she took a fixed look at Xiaoyue who was in a state of embarrassment, then turned her head to look at Concubine Rong in confusion, walked over and said, "Aunt, isn't Xiaoyue your favorite girl?" ? Why did you kill her?"
"Ask her what she did? She even brought up Concubine Liu in front of me!" Concubine Rong said angrily.
Fang Zhilin's expression changed, she glanced at Concubine Rong, then turned her head to look at Xiaoyue, her eyes rolled a few times, she walked forward with a smile, and stretched out her hand to beat Concubine Rong's back: "Auntie! It's not a big mistake! After all, Xiaoyue has served you for seven or eight years! There is hard work without credit, so why don't you spare her life for the sake of your niece?"
Concubine Rong snorted, but did not answer.
Fang Zhilin turned her head and glared at Xiaoyue angrily, and said, "Xiaoyue! Come here and kowtow to your empress!"
"Your maidservant is here!" When her name was called, Xiaoyue's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she ran over, knelt down and kowtowed desperately: "My maidservant, thank you for not killing me! This servant is like a cow and a horse to repay your mother! This kindness will never be forgotten by this servant..."
"Okay, let's go down!" Concubine Rong waved her hands impatiently: "Don't stand in my way! With Arlene pleading for you, keep your life for now!"
"Yes! Empress!" Xiaoyue felt relieved, kowtowed heavily, and then hurriedly retreated.
When only the aunt and nephew were left in the main hall, Concubine Rong glanced at Fang Zhilin and said, "Tell me! What are you doing here today?"
"Aunt, can't my niece come to see you if she's fine?" Fang Zhilin smiled and withdrew her hand and sat down in front of Concubine Rong, looking at her curiously and saying, "Aunt, what exactly did Xiaoyue say that made her so embarrassed?" You are so angry, please tell Liner!"
Concubine Rong said angrily what she had just said.
"Auntie, this girl Xiaoyue is too wrong!" Fang Zhilin said with righteous indignation: "I know that Concubine Liu is always against Auntie and you in the palace. Auntie, you hate Concubine Liu the most, and she still mentions her, damn it!" !"
Concubine Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Since that's the case, why did you plead for her just now?"
Fang Zhilin smiled awkwardly, and said, "Auntie, God has the virtue of being good at life! Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so you should spare her! This can be regarded as accumulating blessings for my cousin."
Hearing the mention of her son, Concubine Rong's expression softened a little.
Seeing this, Fang Zhilin immediately said: "Auntie, but Xiaoyue said that Miss Ye Er is as beautiful as a fairy, even compared to Concubine Liu, so we know that if she enters the palace to be a concubine for her cousin, she must be the same as Concubine Liu Existence! She is much smarter than Concubine Liu!"
Concubine Rong frowned when she heard this.
Fang Zhilin paused for a moment, seeing that Concubine Rong was not angry, she boldly continued, "Daddy and Aunt, you have discussed it. In the future, my cousin's concubine will be Lin'er, and Lin'er also knows that the Emperor intends to let Ning Guo The Hou Mansion chooses a young lady to be his cousin's side concubine, but it must not be this Second Miss Ye! She is so beautiful! When my cousin sees her, his soul will be taken away... "
As she said that, a hint of sadness appeared on her face, and she pleaded softly: "Auntie, do you have the heart to see Lin'er in the same situation as you, and be helpless against people like Concubine Liu and Miss Ye Er?"
Concubine Rong listened to this sentence quietly, the smile on her face disappeared, she stared at Fang Zhilin calmly, until her whole body got hairy.
"Aunt, is what my niece said wrong?" Fang Zhilin pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, wondering if there was something wrong with what she had practiced many times, which angered Concubine Rong.
Her future hope, all good dreams are in this aunt, but don't make her angry!
After a long time, Concubine Rong finally opened her mouth: "Do you think this palace is helpless against Concubine Liu?"
Fang Zhilin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Aunt, niece doesn't mean that..."
"Xiaoyue was bought by you, and that's why she said that in front of me, right?" Concubine Rong interrupted her coldly, "Otherwise, she would never compare Miss Ye with Concubine Liu, and would rather mess with you." If you are angry, I want to speak for you, how much benefit have you given her?"
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin couldn't help feeling guilty, she hurriedly explained: "Auntie, it's not like this..."
"My aunt has spent most of her life in this deep palace. She hasn't seen any ghosts or monsters, and she hasn't used any sinister and vicious schemes. With this little trick of yours, you still want to hide it from me?" Concubine Rong looked at Fang with disdain. Zhilin took one look, snorted coldly and said: "Auntie advises you, don't play tricks in front of me! To tell you the truth, the matter of marrying Miss Ye Er as Yu'er's side concubine was ordered by the emperor. There is nothing you can do about it!"
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin's complexion turned pale.
"Also, as a mother, it is impossible for me to do something that would make Yu'er unhappy." Concubine Rong fixed her gaze on her, and said in a deep voice, "If he really likes that Second Miss Ye, I will agree." So what if this happened? Ye Xiangwan is worthy of Yu'er no matter in terms of talent or appearance."
Fang Zhilin almost fainted.
"In this way, the relationship between our mother and child will be even closer. Why not do it?"
"Go down! I don't care about today's matter, you honestly confess to your father and let him deal with it, do you understand?" Concubine Rong said in a deep voice.
Fang Zhilin trembled all over, and finally said with trembling lips: "Yes, aunt."
Concubine Rong turned her head and stopped looking at her.
Fang Zhilin stepped out of the room one step at a time, not even knowing where she was, and almost bumped into a big banyan tree in Concubine Rong's yard, until she was stopped tightly with both hands.
"Miss Fang, the servants have done what you said, and you should fulfill what you promised the servants, right?" Xiaoyue said anxiously.
It took Fang Zhilin a lot of effort to fix her eyes on Xiaoyue, and her sanity gradually returned.
It was her who would have heard those heart-piercing words in front of Concubine Rong!
"Miss Fang, what's the matter with you?" Seeing the stern look on Fang Zhilin's face, Xiaoyue backed up a few steps in horror.
Fang Zhilin smiled cruelly: "You caused me to be scolded by my aunt all the time, and now you still want me to fulfill my promise? It's okay if you want me to forgive you, why don't you go underground and see Lord Yan Does the old man agree with you!" As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Come here! Drag this lowly servant girl down, and die with a stick!"
Xiaoyue's face turned pale in an instant, and she was almost on the verge of collapse. She shouted hoarsely: "Miss Fang Six, you can't be ruthless!"
"I'll turn my back on you and be ruthless, what can you do?" Fang Zhilin smiled heartily and viciously.She waved her hand, and several tall and thick women rushed up, grabbed Xiaoyue who was like a chicken, and dragged her down.
"Fang Zhilin, you will die!" The last thing echoing in the yard was Xiaoyue's heart-piercing cry.
But Fang Zhilin herself turned a blind eye.
Half an hour later, Xiaoyue died.
He was dragged on the stool by the servants and killed with a staff. When he died, his eyes were round and round, and he seemed to be unwilling to die.
When the news reached Concubine Rong's ears, she stopped holding the teacup.
"Look, my niece is so ruthless." She said with emotion: "If one day, even I can't satisfy her, she might turn the world upside down!"
When she said this, there was a sneer on her lips, and the string of Buddhist beads in her palm did not turn for a long time.
Among the maids in the room, none of them opened their mouths to speak.
Concubine Rong put down the prayer beads in a lack of interest and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the palace earlier! It's just for incense, and so many things have happened!"
"Your Majesty, is that servant going to order someone to clean up now, and leave early tomorrow morning?" Xiaoyue died, and her replacement was another Gong'e named Zhao'er.
Concubine Rong glanced at her, satisfied with her cleverness, and nodded immediately: "Okay, send someone to inform Yu'er, no! Go and call him over."
"Yes, empress." Zhao'er bowed her head and stepped back.
Concubine Rong raised her eyes expressionlessly and glanced outside the house. Through the layers of green shade and flowers, her eyes fell on a pine tree in the yard that was as tall as a person.
This tree has obviously been carefully maintained for many years, and its long branches are luxuriant, lush and beautiful.
"16 years..."
A sigh escaped from the corner of her mouth.
……
One day has passed since what happened yesterday, but Li Yu still locked himself in the room and refused to come out, neither eating nor drinking, making everyone think he was sick.
When Murong Jin came over, she saw the maids standing around the door with the food, all anxious, but the door was still tightly closed.
"Mr. Murong, you are finally here! Come and persuade His Highness! If he still refuses to eat, the empress will kill us all!" When the maids saw Murong Jin, they seemed to have seen it Like a savior, everyone was overjoyed, fell to their knees with a plop, and begged bitterly.
Murong Jin hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll advise him! You all get up first!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" A few servant girls responded, and then slowly got up.
Murong Jin glanced at the food boxes in their hands, then looked at the closed door, finally sighed and said: "The things are left, you all go back first!"
"Yes!" The maids agreed, quickly put down the food box, turned around and exited the yard.
Only now did Murong Jin walk to the door of the room, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness, open the door! Every time my little sister gets angry, she will lock herself in the room and refuse to come out, even refusing to eat. Eat, Your Highness's move..."
"You mean that I look like a dainty lady?" With a bang, the door was opened from the inside, and Li Yu poked his head out angrily, and gave Murong Jin a vicious look.
Murong Jin smiled immediately: "Your Highness, you are finally willing to come out."
Li Yu snorted coldly, turned around and went into the room.
Murong Jin didn't think it was disobedient, bent over and walked in with the food box, and put several steaming dishes in the box on the table one by one.
Li Yu had been hungry for a long time, and his stomach could not help but growl when he smelled the smell of food.
"Your Highness, let's eat first!" Murong Jin said a little funny.
Li Yu was noncommittal, walked to the table with his head held high, stretched out his hand, tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, squinted at Murong Jin and said, "Murong, Your Highness was ashamed yesterday! It is impossible to punish that little girl Ye Zhaoqing!"
"Your Highness, she just wants that jade pendant." Murong Jin couldn't help but get a headache after hearing this, "Besides, if you hadn't deliberately used the jade pendant to provoke her, such a thing would not have happened yesterday."
Hearing this, Li Yujun blushed, but then he straightened his neck and said, "So what? My Highness doesn't like her, so I want to punish her, isn't it okay?"
"Okay, of course." Murong Jin said helplessly: "But your Highness, you have to be reasonable. If it weren't for Miss Ye Er, Huahua wouldn't have been able to go into the cage obediently yesterday. How much money this has saved you, Your Highness." Trouble! Don't talk about how the emperor will punish you if he knows this, just talk about my elder brother..."
"Stop! Stop! Don't mention your elder brother to me!" Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Murong Jin and said, "That's a great god! Neither you nor I can afford it!"
Murong Jin laughed: "Your Highness, I think you have never seen my elder brother so scared even after meeting the Emperor..."
"Of course! Father loves me very much, but your elder brother, he only talks about what God has assigned to you, and you must first suffer from your mind and muscles... Li Yu said with a face full of fear: "Father just listens to him." That set!With him around, I live like a dog!
Murong Jin laughed: "Your Highness, are you not so exaggerated?"
"Why not?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's not talk about this. Anyway, your elder brother is not in the capital now. My Highness, I want to take advantage of this time to punish Ye Zhaoqing! Murong! You must help me!"
Murong Jin smiled forcedly: "Your Highness, this, this..."
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing his hesitation, Li Yu stared, immediately dropped the chicken legs and came over, with two greasy hands about to lean on Murong Jin's body.
"Your Highness! Everything is negotiable! Negotiable!" Murong Jin hurriedly dodged away, tightly protected her sleeves, and said with a smile: "You are a big man, and you always deal with a little boy like this. Little girl, is it inappropriate to do this? If it spreads, it will damage your reputation as the eldest prince!"
"Bullshit!" Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "Ye Zhaoqing is sixteen! Where is he young? They can get married!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly froze.
Murong Jin couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"Murong! Why didn't I think of that?" Li Yu suddenly grabbed his hand with excitement, and said excitedly: "As long as my Highness marries Ye Zhaoqing and locks her into the East Palace, then what do I want?" Torture her as much as you want! No one has dared to say a single word! On the contrary, the whole family has to be grateful to me, Your Highness!"
Murong Jin was stunned. He couldn't understand Li Yu's thinking. In just a short moment, this person was still talking about how to get revenge. Why did he suddenly become married?
This is too moody, right?
"Your Highness, is this inappropriate?" Murong Jin looked at Li Yu's excited appearance, thought and thought, and finally persuaded: "You have to discuss such a big matter with the emperor and Concubine Rong. ?”
"What are you still discussing?" Li Yu waved his big hand, as if everything was under control: "As long as my highness is willing to marry, no one will say no! Father and emperor will not! But if I don't want to, Even if the emperor comes, I will not agree!"
As she said that, she said with regret, "This king is just such a concubine, which is considered cheap! She won't live long with this king anyway, and it doesn't matter if she is a concubine or a side concubine!" "
Murong Ting was taken aback: "Your Highness! Miss Ye is fine, why did she die..."
After hearing this, Li Yu sneered at him twice without answering.The profound meaning is self-evident.
Murong Jin's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Li Yu never planned to let Ye Zhaoqing go!
It seems that he must hurry up...
"Your Highness, Concubine Rong is here to invite you." At this moment, a servant girl's voice came in from outside the door.
Li Yu was already sitting at the table and started chopping big pieces of rice, and immediately raised his voice: "Wait a minute! Wait until His Highness is full!"
Murong Jin's eyes darkened.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yu wiped his mouth and stood up, was served by the servant girl and rinsed his mouth, and was about to go to Concubine Rong.
Murong Jin immediately said: "Your Highness, I will not accompany you to your mother's place, and I will come to see you at night."
Li Yu originally wanted him to go with him, but on second thought, he was going to discuss with Concubine Rong about marrying Ye Zhaoqing later, and it was really inconvenient for Murong Jin to be there, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay then, you go back and stay obediently." Stay in the yard, don't report to that silly girl!" As he said, he gave Murong Jin a warning glance.
Murong Jin immediately nodded in agreement, and watched Li Yu leave.
Afterwards, he returned to his own courtyard next door with a solemn expression, screened away, spread letter paper on the desk in the study, and wrote a letter to his eldest brother Murong Shen who was far away, detailing what happened in the Jokhang Temple in the past few days It is written in detail.
Afterwards, he went out of the room, handed the letter paper to his confidants, and ordered him to spread the news with carrier pigeons, and then returned to the house with a calm expression.
……
Li Yu came to Concubine Rong's courtyard and directly entered the main hall without notifying her.
Concubine Rong, dressed in a pink palace dress and wearing a pearl hairpin wrapped with nine phoenixes and red gold and silk, is sitting on the couch enjoying a bowl of mint sweet soup in the afternoon. Two maidens stand with hands hanging in front of her. It fell from the gaps in the shade and shone on her body, making her more and more beautiful like jade.It's not like a woman who has given birth to a child at all.
Seeing her son coming in, a smile appeared on her well-maintained face: "Yu'er is here? Come and sit next to my concubine!"
Li Yu agreed with a smile, walked forward and sat down beside Concubine Rong.
"I heard that you lost your temper and refused to eat today?" Concubine Rong put down the porridge bowl, cast a sideways glance at her son and said, "I think if you leave Murong, who can persuade you!"
"Isn't there still mother and concubine here?" Li Yu said with a smile: "The son doesn't listen to anyone, but he has to listen to your mother!"
This sweet talker is very good at flattering Concubine Rong, the corners of her lips curled up, showing that she was very happy: "Then you won't listen to your father's words?"
"Of course I listen to what my father says." Li Yu smiled and said, "But my father is too busy, and my mother and concubine teach me more, and my son listens to you the most."
"You! Poor mouth!" Concubine Rong scowled coquettishly, glanced at her son again, sat upright and said, "I invited you here today because I want to talk about your marriage."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a nonchalant smile: "There's nothing to discuss about it. Pick and choose, there are only a few people in total!"
"So, are you satisfied with the choice of concubine and side concubine that concubine mother has chosen for you?" Concubine Rong said.
Li Yu shook his head and said: "My son has a bad memory, who forgot about those people, mother and concubine will tell my son again?"
How careless it is!
Concubine Rong glanced at her beloved son speechlessly, and said patiently: "Concubine Zheng, she is Yan'er, the younger sister of the Murong family. You grew up together, she is just right to be your concubine..."
"It's not cousin Lin'er?" Li Yu looked up at his mother in surprise when he heard this.
In his impression, the uncle of the Fang family has been matching him and Fang Zhilin for so many years, but he never expected that his mother would not choose Fang Zhilin.
That's great, he doesn't like that irritable and domineering Fang Zhilin at all!
Concubine Rong shook her head and sighed: "A Lin is arrogant and domineering by nature, she never knows how to think about others, she always does things in her own way, if you marry her, you will definitely have a lot of troubles, and you don't know if there will be a fire in the backyard in the future, as your mother , how could I let you jump into this dire situation?"
After saying that, she paused and said: "I must choose a virtuous, virtuous, generous and considerate girl to be your princess. In the future, I can help you organize the harem and build a prosperous world with you..."
"Mother really loves me the most!" Hearing this, Li Yu stood up abruptly and bowed to Concubine Rong upright.
Concubine Rong suddenly laughed: "What are you doing? Get up!"
Li Yu then stood up and asked, "Where is the candidate for the side concubine?"
"It's the second lady of Ningguo Hou's Mansion." Speaking of Ye Xiangwan, Concubine Rong's face was full of admiration: "This girl is beautiful, versatile, and well-educated, even if she is your concubine, she is more than enough, but, After all, this palace is on good terms with Mrs. Dingguo, so I can only wrong her first. In the future, you will inherit the throne, and she will be an imperial concubine..."
Li Yu did not expect Concubine Rong to choose Ye Xiangwan as his side concubine.And rate her so highly.
Murong Yan, Ye Xiangwan, these two girls are pretty good.One is calm and majestic, the other looks like a fairy, they are all chosen from his point of view.Of course, Concubine Rong also has her own selfishness in it.
"Mother and concubine, my son doesn't want to get married right now." Li Yu thought and thought for a long time before confiding in his heart: "Little sister Murong grew up with her son, just like Erchen's own sister. Yes, if you ask your son to marry her, your son really can't do it. Although, she is quite suitable to be a princess."
Concubine Rong listened carefully without interrupting her. She was very serious about everything related to Li Yu.
Her son was dissatisfied with Murong Yan, so she also wanted to hear where the dissatisfaction was.
"As for the second young lady of the Ye family, she is beautiful, but other than that, my son thinks she is no different from those young ladies from aristocratic and vain families outside." Li Yu said in a deep voice, "It's the young lady of the Ye family. He is stupid and courageous, but he can get close to Huahua without being bitten by it, this son likes it!"
Concubine Rong listened to the words 'a foolish person is also courageous', and then looked at her son's excited face, she was dumbfounded: "Yu'er, you pick and choose, and finally you choose such a mourner?"
"Mother! She's not a funeral star!" Li Yu frowned when he heard this, and said, "This is the same as those people who predicted that their son would not live to be five years old. It is all nonsense! The son will live well Is there no one in Ningguohou's mansion who was really defeated by her?"
"However, since having her, Ning Guohou's official career has not been smooth..." Concubine Rong hesitated.
Li Yu sneered: "Ye Chen was reprimanded by his father, it was because he was not good at doing things himself! It's nothing to do with a little girl!"
Concubine Rong couldn't hide her surprise. After hearing this, she looked carefully at her son's face, sighed and said, "You are just trying to excuse this Miss Ye. This girl is calm and intelligent. If she didn't It's unknown whether the concubine mother will agree with you to marry her, but now, you must not have anything to do with her!"
"Mother Concubine, why is this?" Li Yu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this.
Concubine Rong glanced at him, and said solemnly: "Because Concubine Mother is afraid that Miss Ye will not be able to defeat her relatives, but her future husband!"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this!
"Yu'er, you are my concubine's heart. Over the years, concubine mother has insisted on coming to this Jokhang Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings every month, regardless of the danger of leaving the palace. I just hope you can live a long life and become a respected figure of all people in the future." Good Emperor." Concubine Rong said earnestly: "Now is the critical moment, and Concubine Mother will never allow you to make any mistakes! Then Miss Ye, stop thinking about it!"
Hearing these words, Li Yu felt a little flustered and lost in his heart, but he didn't dislike him. He really didn't know what kind of attitude he had towards Ye Zhaoqing. He obviously hated her to the bone, but he heard that she was famous Maybe her future husband would be defeated by the head, and he actually felt a little distressed for her in his heart.
With this name, how will she marry in the future?
At this moment, Li Yu was startled suddenly.
what happened to him?What are you worrying about?
And Concubine Rong's words continued: "As for you saying that you treat Yan'er as your younger sister, this is true. Concubine Mother has always treated her like her own daughter. Now that you are going to marry a wife, Yan'er knows everything about you like this. , isn't the girl who grew up with her the best match? She also likes you, Yu'er, listen to your mother and concubine, only Yan'er can take the position of you as a princess..."
"Concubine Mother, let me think about it." Li Yu interrupted Concubine Rong abruptly, not daring to look at her, his eyes dodged, and he quickly got up and rushed out.
"Stop!" Concubine Rong hadn't finished speaking, and there was no one in front of her eyes. She was furious immediately, and hurriedly shouted: "Yu'er! Come back!"
Li Yu, who had already rushed to the yard, paused when he heard this, but the next moment, he ran out at an even faster speed!
Concubine Rong watched him leave helplessly, the smile on her face faded completely, and her face sank like water.
Not afraid of death, Qiaoyuan came forward and said: "Your Majesty, should I send someone to chase His Highness back?"
"No need!" Concubine Rong spit out two words coldly, without even looking at Qiaoyuan, she said expressionlessly: "You all go down! I want to stay alone for a while."
"Yes, empress." Qiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, she led all the dozen or so maids waiting in the hall to retreat.
After the door of the main room was closed, Qiaoyuan turned and left, but at this moment, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking from the room behind her.
"Snapped!"
Qiaoyuan's heart trembled, she didn't dare to stay any longer, and flew away.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Concubine Rong hurriedly ordered everyone to pack up their things and went down the mountain in a carriage.
Li Yu and Murong Jin naturally followed together, they contradicted their mother yesterday, today Li Yu is very well-behaved.
Seeing his appearance, Concubine Rong finally relieved the anger that had been suppressed all night, but she still kept a straight face along the way.When leaving, all the female relatives of the Jokhang Temple came to see her off, and she even showed a smile.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Ye was ready to pack up and go down the mountain.
Ye Zhaoqing stayed in the house until the sun went down, but before Mrs. Ye sent someone to inform her of going down the mountain, she couldn't help but said to Linger: "Go to the old lady's room to see if they have left."
"Yes! Miss!" Ling'er responded, turned around and left, but then bumped into someone at the door.
It was Nanny Li who came, she raised her hand and slapped Ling'er, and said angrily: "You little bastard, what are you doing in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Ling'er covered half of her face, her eyes were red and she didn't answer.
"Mother Li, you are just a slave yourself. Why do you beat the people around me? If you are so arrogant, won't it be afraid that others will say that you are a slave and bully the master?" Ye Zhaoqing stood up and said coldly.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Li was not impressed by these words, she glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with a sneer, and said loudly: "Miss, the old lady has an order, ordering you to pray for Lord Hou for another half a month, there must be no mistakes !"
"Kneel for another half a month?" Ye Zhaoqing asked calmly.
"Exactly!" Nanny Li looked at Ye Zhaoqing, and said sinisterly: "The servant girl is the one left by the old lady to supervise the eldest lady. Ling'er is a frizzy girl, and she is not calm at all. She is not suitable to stay here." Beside the eldest lady..."
She was very upset, she was originally the most favored nanny by Mrs. Ye's side, but this time, the old lady kept her.This means that if Ye Zhaoqing can't go back to the Jokhang Temple in the future, neither can she.
Who would like to stay in the Jokhang Temple without a good and rich family?
She had hatred in her heart and couldn't vent it, so she had to torture Ye Zhaoqing's master and servant.
"Miss! My servant, please don't leave you!" Ling'er turned pale when she heard this, and fell to her knees in a plop.
Nanny Li snorted coldly and said, "That's up to you!" As she spoke, she waved her hand, and two tall and rough women rushed in from the door, stepped forward and pushed Ling'er away.
"Stop!" Ye Zhaoqing said coldly.
As soon as Nanny Li waved her hand, the two women stopped. She gave Ye Zhaoqing a cold look, and said with a smile: "Miss, slaves don't want to do things so badly, you want It's not impossible for this girl to stay, but in the next half a month, I hope you can be more honest, miss, otherwise, this servant can't guarantee whether this girl will stay by your side."
"Hey..." Ling'er was out of breath after hearing this, her eyes were full of despair.
Miss, how did they fall into such a situation!
Ye Zhaoqing has been looking at Nanny Li with a calm expression, without saying a word, but this calm posture made Nanny Li feel scared. She hurriedly swaggered a few words, and then led the people away in a hurry.
Only the weeping Ling'er was left in the room.
Ye Zhaoqing walked over and helped Ling'er up from the ground, and said gently: "Good Ling'er, don't cry, the matter hasn't come to an end yet."
"Miss! The old lady is trying to throw you in the Jokhang Temple!" Ling'er raised her pear-blossoming rainy face and said with despair: "It was said to be half a month, but after half a month, the Hou Mansion will not Send someone to pick it up, how do we go down the mountain? Maybe in the future..."
"Going down the mountain? Why go down the mountain?" Ye Zhaoqing turned up the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and suddenly showed a sneer: "Even if we want to go down the mountain, they will pick us up gracefully!"
Ling'er was stunned when she saw her young lady's confident appearance.
Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her, didn't explain, just said: "Go and make a pot of tea, and then go to the temple to get some flour, there are freshly picked peach blossoms in this house, how about you make me a peach blossom cake? I remember you used to be the best at this."
Why did you just talk about eating it?
Ling'er's mind was so rigid that she couldn't turn the corner for a long time, but seeing her young lady's calm and composed appearance, her heart inexplicably settled down.
"Okay, miss, I'll do it now." Ling'er nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and went out. She wanted to find the best peach blossoms and make the most delicious peach blossom cakes for the miss!
Looking at her slender back, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's really a headache to cry so much!
After Nanny Li gave Ye Zhaoqing a disgrace, she has been waiting for her to complain to Mrs. Ye crying, because the old lady has not left yet.
As long as Ye Zhaoqing goes, he will be severely punished by the old lady!
In this way, wouldn't it be effortless for her to deal with the two masters and servants in the future?
But she waited and waited, but there was no movement from Ye Zhaoqing's side. After Mrs. Ye and Ye Xiangwan's carriage went down the mountain, Nanny Li couldn't bear it anymore and brought people over.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the two masters and servants who she expected to hug and cry together, all with happy smiles on their faces, sitting in the main hall enjoying a plate of delicious peach blossom cakes.
It's so sweet!The whole house smells like this...
Don't know what to do.
Nanny Li sniffed her nose, envious at first, then turned cold. She strode into the room and said coldly to Ye Zhaoqing, "Miss, the old lady ordered you to pray for Lord Hou here." Yes, I didn't order you to enjoy it here! Did you listen to her words?"
Ye Zhaoqing put down half of the dim sum in his hand, turned his head and glanced at the majestic Li Nanny, and said with a half-smile: "It's true that there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are kings, Li Nanny, I heard that you have a fourteen-year-old His daughter’s name is Qiu Ju?”
Nanny Li paused as she rushed over, snorted coldly and said, "Why do you ask this, miss?"
"Nothing to do, I just heard that my mother recently wanted to choose a few maidservants for my brother who is the son of the prince and put them in the house. Your daughter, Madam Li, is in good condition! Maybe she is lucky enough to win my brother Pity, it's been a month!" Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile; "I want to congratulate Nanny."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Nanny Li's face turned pale in an instant, she pointed at Ye Zhaoqing and couldn't say a word.
Ye Zhaoqing continued to smile gently: "You don't want to see Nanny like this? What can I do? My mother always does things with my grandmother's approval. As someone close to my grandmother, you actually disagree with her." The decision? This is very difficult, if the old lady finds out, I am afraid she will be unhappy..."
"Missy, what are you talking about? This servant just doesn't want to watch her daughter jump into the fire pit, but this is Madam Hou's intention. What can I do?" Li Nanny said coldly.
Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and glanced at her, then casually reached out and brushed away the little pastry crumbs on his fingertips, the jade hands like white jade onion tubes looked very beautiful in the sun: "If I say, I have a way to make Qiuju get out of this matter." Can you trust me to get out and go out?"
"What? Do you have a solution?" After hearing this, Nanny Li looked up at Ye Zhaoqing from the beginning to the end, and said with disdain: "Miss, don't be joking, you are just an unfavored lady, what can you do?" Save my family Qiuju from the hands of the son of the world? What kind of person is the master of the world! A girl who has passed through his hands, don't even think about getting out alive..."
"Hasn't Qiu Ju been delivered yet?" Ye Zhaoqing said in a slow tone, "As long as no one enters the yard, everything can be negotiated, and it depends on human effort!"
Nanny Li looked at the eloquent and eloquent young lady in front of her, as if she had seen a ghost, her face was full of shock.
It took a long time before she found her own voice: "Missy really has a way?"
Ye Zhaoqing looked at her and smiled, but didn't answer.
Ling'er on the side snorted coldly, picked up the unfinished cakes on the table, turned around and went out of the house, walking and saying: "Miss, what do you care about this servant like a vicious dog? What do you care about Qiu Ju?" Those who are not Qiu Ju, it would be better if they are all dead!"
"You can't say that." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing shook his head and said, "Ling'er, you must be grateful. You forgot that in the mansion, when we were so hungry that we couldn't eat, Qiu Ju used to sneak out of the kitchen. Did you give us steamed buns? People often say that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. You must have forgotten my teaching, right?"
Ling'er nodded, and reluctantly said: "Miss said this, the maidservant also remembered, there is such a thing, but Qiu Ju's mother is so unscrupulous, miss, you just want to help her, and you also have a heart." Powerless! When she really dies, we can't blame us!"
The master and the servant sang together, and they spoke very cheerfully, and Nanny Li's face turned red and pale at times.
After a long time, she suddenly gritted her teeth fiercely, and knelt down with a sudden plop!
(End of this chapter)
But Concubine Rong was unmoved, and soon, several thick women rushed in from outside the door, dragging her down like chickens.
Concubine Rong didn't even have a trace of a smile on her face, her eyes were gloomy, she watched all this expressionlessly.
"Oh! What are you doing!" At this moment, a bouncing figure came in from the door, seeing Gong'e being dragged away, he was startled: "Xiaoyue, what are you doing?" gone?"
When the Gong'e named Xiaoyue saw the person coming, she immediately begged like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw: "Miss Fang Six, please help! Please let your mother spare this servant!"
She struggled too hard, and because of Fang Zhilin, those women couldn't help but relax their strength, and she broke free.
After Fang Zhilin heard this, she took a fixed look at Xiaoyue who was in a state of embarrassment, then turned her head to look at Concubine Rong in confusion, walked over and said, "Aunt, isn't Xiaoyue your favorite girl?" ? Why did you kill her?"
"Ask her what she did? She even brought up Concubine Liu in front of me!" Concubine Rong said angrily.
Fang Zhilin's expression changed, she glanced at Concubine Rong, then turned her head to look at Xiaoyue, her eyes rolled a few times, she walked forward with a smile, and stretched out her hand to beat Concubine Rong's back: "Auntie! It's not a big mistake! After all, Xiaoyue has served you for seven or eight years! There is hard work without credit, so why don't you spare her life for the sake of your niece?"
Concubine Rong snorted, but did not answer.
Fang Zhilin turned her head and glared at Xiaoyue angrily, and said, "Xiaoyue! Come here and kowtow to your empress!"
"Your maidservant is here!" When her name was called, Xiaoyue's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she ran over, knelt down and kowtowed desperately: "My maidservant, thank you for not killing me! This servant is like a cow and a horse to repay your mother! This kindness will never be forgotten by this servant..."
"Okay, let's go down!" Concubine Rong waved her hands impatiently: "Don't stand in my way! With Arlene pleading for you, keep your life for now!"
"Yes! Empress!" Xiaoyue felt relieved, kowtowed heavily, and then hurriedly retreated.
When only the aunt and nephew were left in the main hall, Concubine Rong glanced at Fang Zhilin and said, "Tell me! What are you doing here today?"
"Aunt, can't my niece come to see you if she's fine?" Fang Zhilin smiled and withdrew her hand and sat down in front of Concubine Rong, looking at her curiously and saying, "Aunt, what exactly did Xiaoyue say that made her so embarrassed?" You are so angry, please tell Liner!"
Concubine Rong said angrily what she had just said.
"Auntie, this girl Xiaoyue is too wrong!" Fang Zhilin said with righteous indignation: "I know that Concubine Liu is always against Auntie and you in the palace. Auntie, you hate Concubine Liu the most, and she still mentions her, damn it!" !"
Concubine Rong rolled her eyes and said, "Since that's the case, why did you plead for her just now?"
Fang Zhilin smiled awkwardly, and said, "Auntie, God has the virtue of being good at life! Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so you should spare her! This can be regarded as accumulating blessings for my cousin."
Hearing the mention of her son, Concubine Rong's expression softened a little.
Seeing this, Fang Zhilin immediately said: "Auntie, but Xiaoyue said that Miss Ye Er is as beautiful as a fairy, even compared to Concubine Liu, so we know that if she enters the palace to be a concubine for her cousin, she must be the same as Concubine Liu Existence! She is much smarter than Concubine Liu!"
Concubine Rong frowned when she heard this.
Fang Zhilin paused for a moment, seeing that Concubine Rong was not angry, she boldly continued, "Daddy and Aunt, you have discussed it. In the future, my cousin's concubine will be Lin'er, and Lin'er also knows that the Emperor intends to let Ning Guo The Hou Mansion chooses a young lady to be his cousin's side concubine, but it must not be this Second Miss Ye! She is so beautiful! When my cousin sees her, his soul will be taken away... "
As she said that, a hint of sadness appeared on her face, and she pleaded softly: "Auntie, do you have the heart to see Lin'er in the same situation as you, and be helpless against people like Concubine Liu and Miss Ye Er?"
Concubine Rong listened to this sentence quietly, the smile on her face disappeared, she stared at Fang Zhilin calmly, until her whole body got hairy.
"Aunt, is what my niece said wrong?" Fang Zhilin pinched the corner of her skirt nervously, wondering if there was something wrong with what she had practiced many times, which angered Concubine Rong.
Her future hope, all good dreams are in this aunt, but don't make her angry!
After a long time, Concubine Rong finally opened her mouth: "Do you think this palace is helpless against Concubine Liu?"
Fang Zhilin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Aunt, niece doesn't mean that..."
"Xiaoyue was bought by you, and that's why she said that in front of me, right?" Concubine Rong interrupted her coldly, "Otherwise, she would never compare Miss Ye with Concubine Liu, and would rather mess with you." If you are angry, I want to speak for you, how much benefit have you given her?"
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin couldn't help feeling guilty, she hurriedly explained: "Auntie, it's not like this..."
"My aunt has spent most of her life in this deep palace. She hasn't seen any ghosts or monsters, and she hasn't used any sinister and vicious schemes. With this little trick of yours, you still want to hide it from me?" Concubine Rong looked at Fang with disdain. Zhilin took one look, snorted coldly and said: "Auntie advises you, don't play tricks in front of me! To tell you the truth, the matter of marrying Miss Ye Er as Yu'er's side concubine was ordered by the emperor. There is nothing you can do about it!"
After hearing this, Fang Zhilin's complexion turned pale.
"Also, as a mother, it is impossible for me to do something that would make Yu'er unhappy." Concubine Rong fixed her gaze on her, and said in a deep voice, "If he really likes that Second Miss Ye, I will agree." So what if this happened? Ye Xiangwan is worthy of Yu'er no matter in terms of talent or appearance."
Fang Zhilin almost fainted.
"In this way, the relationship between our mother and child will be even closer. Why not do it?"
"Go down! I don't care about today's matter, you honestly confess to your father and let him deal with it, do you understand?" Concubine Rong said in a deep voice.
Fang Zhilin trembled all over, and finally said with trembling lips: "Yes, aunt."
Concubine Rong turned her head and stopped looking at her.
Fang Zhilin stepped out of the room one step at a time, not even knowing where she was, and almost bumped into a big banyan tree in Concubine Rong's yard, until she was stopped tightly with both hands.
"Miss Fang, the servants have done what you said, and you should fulfill what you promised the servants, right?" Xiaoyue said anxiously.
It took Fang Zhilin a lot of effort to fix her eyes on Xiaoyue, and her sanity gradually returned.
It was her who would have heard those heart-piercing words in front of Concubine Rong!
"Miss Fang, what's the matter with you?" Seeing the stern look on Fang Zhilin's face, Xiaoyue backed up a few steps in horror.
Fang Zhilin smiled cruelly: "You caused me to be scolded by my aunt all the time, and now you still want me to fulfill my promise? It's okay if you want me to forgive you, why don't you go underground and see Lord Yan Does the old man agree with you!" As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Come here! Drag this lowly servant girl down, and die with a stick!"
Xiaoyue's face turned pale in an instant, and she was almost on the verge of collapse. She shouted hoarsely: "Miss Fang Six, you can't be ruthless!"
"I'll turn my back on you and be ruthless, what can you do?" Fang Zhilin smiled heartily and viciously.She waved her hand, and several tall and thick women rushed up, grabbed Xiaoyue who was like a chicken, and dragged her down.
"Fang Zhilin, you will die!" The last thing echoing in the yard was Xiaoyue's heart-piercing cry.
But Fang Zhilin herself turned a blind eye.
Half an hour later, Xiaoyue died.
He was dragged on the stool by the servants and killed with a staff. When he died, his eyes were round and round, and he seemed to be unwilling to die.
When the news reached Concubine Rong's ears, she stopped holding the teacup.
"Look, my niece is so ruthless." She said with emotion: "If one day, even I can't satisfy her, she might turn the world upside down!"
When she said this, there was a sneer on her lips, and the string of Buddhist beads in her palm did not turn for a long time.
Among the maids in the room, none of them opened their mouths to speak.
Concubine Rong put down the prayer beads in a lack of interest and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the palace earlier! It's just for incense, and so many things have happened!"
"Your Majesty, is that servant going to order someone to clean up now, and leave early tomorrow morning?" Xiaoyue died, and her replacement was another Gong'e named Zhao'er.
Concubine Rong glanced at her, satisfied with her cleverness, and nodded immediately: "Okay, send someone to inform Yu'er, no! Go and call him over."
"Yes, empress." Zhao'er bowed her head and stepped back.
Concubine Rong raised her eyes expressionlessly and glanced outside the house. Through the layers of green shade and flowers, her eyes fell on a pine tree in the yard that was as tall as a person.
This tree has obviously been carefully maintained for many years, and its long branches are luxuriant, lush and beautiful.
"16 years..."
A sigh escaped from the corner of her mouth.
……
One day has passed since what happened yesterday, but Li Yu still locked himself in the room and refused to come out, neither eating nor drinking, making everyone think he was sick.
When Murong Jin came over, she saw the maids standing around the door with the food, all anxious, but the door was still tightly closed.
"Mr. Murong, you are finally here! Come and persuade His Highness! If he still refuses to eat, the empress will kill us all!" When the maids saw Murong Jin, they seemed to have seen it Like a savior, everyone was overjoyed, fell to their knees with a plop, and begged bitterly.
Murong Jin hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll advise him! You all get up first!"
"Thank you, Young Master!" A few servant girls responded, and then slowly got up.
Murong Jin glanced at the food boxes in their hands, then looked at the closed door, finally sighed and said: "The things are left, you all go back first!"
"Yes!" The maids agreed, quickly put down the food box, turned around and exited the yard.
Only now did Murong Jin walk to the door of the room, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness, open the door! Every time my little sister gets angry, she will lock herself in the room and refuse to come out, even refusing to eat. Eat, Your Highness's move..."
"You mean that I look like a dainty lady?" With a bang, the door was opened from the inside, and Li Yu poked his head out angrily, and gave Murong Jin a vicious look.
Murong Jin smiled immediately: "Your Highness, you are finally willing to come out."
Li Yu snorted coldly, turned around and went into the room.
Murong Jin didn't think it was disobedient, bent over and walked in with the food box, and put several steaming dishes in the box on the table one by one.
Li Yu had been hungry for a long time, and his stomach could not help but growl when he smelled the smell of food.
"Your Highness, let's eat first!" Murong Jin said a little funny.
Li Yu was noncommittal, walked to the table with his head held high, stretched out his hand, tore off a chicken leg and took a bite, squinted at Murong Jin and said, "Murong, Your Highness was ashamed yesterday! It is impossible to punish that little girl Ye Zhaoqing!"
"Your Highness, she just wants that jade pendant." Murong Jin couldn't help but get a headache after hearing this, "Besides, if you hadn't deliberately used the jade pendant to provoke her, such a thing would not have happened yesterday."
Hearing this, Li Yujun blushed, but then he straightened his neck and said, "So what? My Highness doesn't like her, so I want to punish her, isn't it okay?"
"Okay, of course." Murong Jin said helplessly: "But your Highness, you have to be reasonable. If it weren't for Miss Ye Er, Huahua wouldn't have been able to go into the cage obediently yesterday. How much money this has saved you, Your Highness." Trouble! Don't talk about how the emperor will punish you if he knows this, just talk about my elder brother..."
"Stop! Stop! Don't mention your elder brother to me!" Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Murong Jin and said, "That's a great god! Neither you nor I can afford it!"
Murong Jin laughed: "Your Highness, I think you have never seen my elder brother so scared even after meeting the Emperor..."
"Of course! Father loves me very much, but your elder brother, he only talks about what God has assigned to you, and you must first suffer from your mind and muscles... Li Yu said with a face full of fear: "Father just listens to him." That set!With him around, I live like a dog!
Murong Jin laughed: "Your Highness, are you not so exaggerated?"
"Why not?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's not talk about this. Anyway, your elder brother is not in the capital now. My Highness, I want to take advantage of this time to punish Ye Zhaoqing! Murong! You must help me!"
Murong Jin smiled forcedly: "Your Highness, this, this..."
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing his hesitation, Li Yu stared, immediately dropped the chicken legs and came over, with two greasy hands about to lean on Murong Jin's body.
"Your Highness! Everything is negotiable! Negotiable!" Murong Jin hurriedly dodged away, tightly protected her sleeves, and said with a smile: "You are a big man, and you always deal with a little boy like this. Little girl, is it inappropriate to do this? If it spreads, it will damage your reputation as the eldest prince!"
"Bullshit!" Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "Ye Zhaoqing is sixteen! Where is he young? They can get married!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly froze.
Murong Jin couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
"Murong! Why didn't I think of that?" Li Yu suddenly grabbed his hand with excitement, and said excitedly: "As long as my Highness marries Ye Zhaoqing and locks her into the East Palace, then what do I want?" Torture her as much as you want! No one has dared to say a single word! On the contrary, the whole family has to be grateful to me, Your Highness!"
Murong Jin was stunned. He couldn't understand Li Yu's thinking. In just a short moment, this person was still talking about how to get revenge. Why did he suddenly become married?
This is too moody, right?
"Your Highness, is this inappropriate?" Murong Jin looked at Li Yu's excited appearance, thought and thought, and finally persuaded: "You have to discuss such a big matter with the emperor and Concubine Rong. ?”
"What are you still discussing?" Li Yu waved his big hand, as if everything was under control: "As long as my highness is willing to marry, no one will say no! Father and emperor will not! But if I don't want to, Even if the emperor comes, I will not agree!"
As she said that, she said with regret, "This king is just such a concubine, which is considered cheap! She won't live long with this king anyway, and it doesn't matter if she is a concubine or a side concubine!" "
Murong Ting was taken aback: "Your Highness! Miss Ye is fine, why did she die..."
After hearing this, Li Yu sneered at him twice without answering.The profound meaning is self-evident.
Murong Jin's heart skipped a beat, he knew that Li Yu never planned to let Ye Zhaoqing go!
It seems that he must hurry up...
"Your Highness, Concubine Rong is here to invite you." At this moment, a servant girl's voice came in from outside the door.
Li Yu was already sitting at the table and started chopping big pieces of rice, and immediately raised his voice: "Wait a minute! Wait until His Highness is full!"
Murong Jin's eyes darkened.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yu wiped his mouth and stood up, was served by the servant girl and rinsed his mouth, and was about to go to Concubine Rong.
Murong Jin immediately said: "Your Highness, I will not accompany you to your mother's place, and I will come to see you at night."
Li Yu originally wanted him to go with him, but on second thought, he was going to discuss with Concubine Rong about marrying Ye Zhaoqing later, and it was really inconvenient for Murong Jin to be there, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay then, you go back and stay obediently." Stay in the yard, don't report to that silly girl!" As he said, he gave Murong Jin a warning glance.
Murong Jin immediately nodded in agreement, and watched Li Yu leave.
Afterwards, he returned to his own courtyard next door with a solemn expression, screened away, spread letter paper on the desk in the study, and wrote a letter to his eldest brother Murong Shen who was far away, detailing what happened in the Jokhang Temple in the past few days It is written in detail.
Afterwards, he went out of the room, handed the letter paper to his confidants, and ordered him to spread the news with carrier pigeons, and then returned to the house with a calm expression.
……
Li Yu came to Concubine Rong's courtyard and directly entered the main hall without notifying her.
Concubine Rong, dressed in a pink palace dress and wearing a pearl hairpin wrapped with nine phoenixes and red gold and silk, is sitting on the couch enjoying a bowl of mint sweet soup in the afternoon. Two maidens stand with hands hanging in front of her. It fell from the gaps in the shade and shone on her body, making her more and more beautiful like jade.It's not like a woman who has given birth to a child at all.
Seeing her son coming in, a smile appeared on her well-maintained face: "Yu'er is here? Come and sit next to my concubine!"
Li Yu agreed with a smile, walked forward and sat down beside Concubine Rong.
"I heard that you lost your temper and refused to eat today?" Concubine Rong put down the porridge bowl, cast a sideways glance at her son and said, "I think if you leave Murong, who can persuade you!"
"Isn't there still mother and concubine here?" Li Yu said with a smile: "The son doesn't listen to anyone, but he has to listen to your mother!"
This sweet talker is very good at flattering Concubine Rong, the corners of her lips curled up, showing that she was very happy: "Then you won't listen to your father's words?"
"Of course I listen to what my father says." Li Yu smiled and said, "But my father is too busy, and my mother and concubine teach me more, and my son listens to you the most."
"You! Poor mouth!" Concubine Rong scowled coquettishly, glanced at her son again, sat upright and said, "I invited you here today because I want to talk about your marriage."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a nonchalant smile: "There's nothing to discuss about it. Pick and choose, there are only a few people in total!"
"So, are you satisfied with the choice of concubine and side concubine that concubine mother has chosen for you?" Concubine Rong said.
Li Yu shook his head and said: "My son has a bad memory, who forgot about those people, mother and concubine will tell my son again?"
How careless it is!
Concubine Rong glanced at her beloved son speechlessly, and said patiently: "Concubine Zheng, she is Yan'er, the younger sister of the Murong family. You grew up together, she is just right to be your concubine..."
"It's not cousin Lin'er?" Li Yu looked up at his mother in surprise when he heard this.
In his impression, the uncle of the Fang family has been matching him and Fang Zhilin for so many years, but he never expected that his mother would not choose Fang Zhilin.
That's great, he doesn't like that irritable and domineering Fang Zhilin at all!
Concubine Rong shook her head and sighed: "A Lin is arrogant and domineering by nature, she never knows how to think about others, she always does things in her own way, if you marry her, you will definitely have a lot of troubles, and you don't know if there will be a fire in the backyard in the future, as your mother , how could I let you jump into this dire situation?"
After saying that, she paused and said: "I must choose a virtuous, virtuous, generous and considerate girl to be your princess. In the future, I can help you organize the harem and build a prosperous world with you..."
"Mother really loves me the most!" Hearing this, Li Yu stood up abruptly and bowed to Concubine Rong upright.
Concubine Rong suddenly laughed: "What are you doing? Get up!"
Li Yu then stood up and asked, "Where is the candidate for the side concubine?"
"It's the second lady of Ningguo Hou's Mansion." Speaking of Ye Xiangwan, Concubine Rong's face was full of admiration: "This girl is beautiful, versatile, and well-educated, even if she is your concubine, she is more than enough, but, After all, this palace is on good terms with Mrs. Dingguo, so I can only wrong her first. In the future, you will inherit the throne, and she will be an imperial concubine..."
Li Yu did not expect Concubine Rong to choose Ye Xiangwan as his side concubine.And rate her so highly.
Murong Yan, Ye Xiangwan, these two girls are pretty good.One is calm and majestic, the other looks like a fairy, they are all chosen from his point of view.Of course, Concubine Rong also has her own selfishness in it.
"Mother and concubine, my son doesn't want to get married right now." Li Yu thought and thought for a long time before confiding in his heart: "Little sister Murong grew up with her son, just like Erchen's own sister. Yes, if you ask your son to marry her, your son really can't do it. Although, she is quite suitable to be a princess."
Concubine Rong listened carefully without interrupting her. She was very serious about everything related to Li Yu.
Her son was dissatisfied with Murong Yan, so she also wanted to hear where the dissatisfaction was.
"As for the second young lady of the Ye family, she is beautiful, but other than that, my son thinks she is no different from those young ladies from aristocratic and vain families outside." Li Yu said in a deep voice, "It's the young lady of the Ye family. He is stupid and courageous, but he can get close to Huahua without being bitten by it, this son likes it!"
Concubine Rong listened to the words 'a foolish person is also courageous', and then looked at her son's excited face, she was dumbfounded: "Yu'er, you pick and choose, and finally you choose such a mourner?"
"Mother! She's not a funeral star!" Li Yu frowned when he heard this, and said, "This is the same as those people who predicted that their son would not live to be five years old. It is all nonsense! The son will live well Is there no one in Ningguohou's mansion who was really defeated by her?"
"However, since having her, Ning Guohou's official career has not been smooth..." Concubine Rong hesitated.
Li Yu sneered: "Ye Chen was reprimanded by his father, it was because he was not good at doing things himself! It's nothing to do with a little girl!"
Concubine Rong couldn't hide her surprise. After hearing this, she looked carefully at her son's face, sighed and said, "You are just trying to excuse this Miss Ye. This girl is calm and intelligent. If she didn't It's unknown whether the concubine mother will agree with you to marry her, but now, you must not have anything to do with her!"
"Mother Concubine, why is this?" Li Yu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this.
Concubine Rong glanced at him, and said solemnly: "Because Concubine Mother is afraid that Miss Ye will not be able to defeat her relatives, but her future husband!"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this!
"Yu'er, you are my concubine's heart. Over the years, concubine mother has insisted on coming to this Jokhang Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings every month, regardless of the danger of leaving the palace. I just hope you can live a long life and become a respected figure of all people in the future." Good Emperor." Concubine Rong said earnestly: "Now is the critical moment, and Concubine Mother will never allow you to make any mistakes! Then Miss Ye, stop thinking about it!"
Hearing these words, Li Yu felt a little flustered and lost in his heart, but he didn't dislike him. He really didn't know what kind of attitude he had towards Ye Zhaoqing. He obviously hated her to the bone, but he heard that she was famous Maybe her future husband would be defeated by the head, and he actually felt a little distressed for her in his heart.
With this name, how will she marry in the future?
At this moment, Li Yu was startled suddenly.
what happened to him?What are you worrying about?
And Concubine Rong's words continued: "As for you saying that you treat Yan'er as your younger sister, this is true. Concubine Mother has always treated her like her own daughter. Now that you are going to marry a wife, Yan'er knows everything about you like this. , isn't the girl who grew up with her the best match? She also likes you, Yu'er, listen to your mother and concubine, only Yan'er can take the position of you as a princess..."
"Concubine Mother, let me think about it." Li Yu interrupted Concubine Rong abruptly, not daring to look at her, his eyes dodged, and he quickly got up and rushed out.
"Stop!" Concubine Rong hadn't finished speaking, and there was no one in front of her eyes. She was furious immediately, and hurriedly shouted: "Yu'er! Come back!"
Li Yu, who had already rushed to the yard, paused when he heard this, but the next moment, he ran out at an even faster speed!
Concubine Rong watched him leave helplessly, the smile on her face faded completely, and her face sank like water.
Not afraid of death, Qiaoyuan came forward and said: "Your Majesty, should I send someone to chase His Highness back?"
"No need!" Concubine Rong spit out two words coldly, without even looking at Qiaoyuan, she said expressionlessly: "You all go down! I want to stay alone for a while."
"Yes, empress." Qiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, she led all the dozen or so maids waiting in the hall to retreat.
After the door of the main room was closed, Qiaoyuan turned and left, but at this moment, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of porcelain breaking from the room behind her.
"Snapped!"
Qiaoyuan's heart trembled, she didn't dare to stay any longer, and flew away.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Concubine Rong hurriedly ordered everyone to pack up their things and went down the mountain in a carriage.
Li Yu and Murong Jin naturally followed together, they contradicted their mother yesterday, today Li Yu is very well-behaved.
Seeing his appearance, Concubine Rong finally relieved the anger that had been suppressed all night, but she still kept a straight face along the way.When leaving, all the female relatives of the Jokhang Temple came to see her off, and she even showed a smile.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Ye was ready to pack up and go down the mountain.
Ye Zhaoqing stayed in the house until the sun went down, but before Mrs. Ye sent someone to inform her of going down the mountain, she couldn't help but said to Linger: "Go to the old lady's room to see if they have left."
"Yes! Miss!" Ling'er responded, turned around and left, but then bumped into someone at the door.
It was Nanny Li who came, she raised her hand and slapped Ling'er, and said angrily: "You little bastard, what are you doing in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Ling'er covered half of her face, her eyes were red and she didn't answer.
"Mother Li, you are just a slave yourself. Why do you beat the people around me? If you are so arrogant, won't it be afraid that others will say that you are a slave and bully the master?" Ye Zhaoqing stood up and said coldly.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Li was not impressed by these words, she glanced at Ye Zhaoqing with a sneer, and said loudly: "Miss, the old lady has an order, ordering you to pray for Lord Hou for another half a month, there must be no mistakes !"
"Kneel for another half a month?" Ye Zhaoqing asked calmly.
"Exactly!" Nanny Li looked at Ye Zhaoqing, and said sinisterly: "The servant girl is the one left by the old lady to supervise the eldest lady. Ling'er is a frizzy girl, and she is not calm at all. She is not suitable to stay here." Beside the eldest lady..."
She was very upset, she was originally the most favored nanny by Mrs. Ye's side, but this time, the old lady kept her.This means that if Ye Zhaoqing can't go back to the Jokhang Temple in the future, neither can she.
Who would like to stay in the Jokhang Temple without a good and rich family?
She had hatred in her heart and couldn't vent it, so she had to torture Ye Zhaoqing's master and servant.
"Miss! My servant, please don't leave you!" Ling'er turned pale when she heard this, and fell to her knees in a plop.
Nanny Li snorted coldly and said, "That's up to you!" As she spoke, she waved her hand, and two tall and rough women rushed in from the door, stepped forward and pushed Ling'er away.
"Stop!" Ye Zhaoqing said coldly.
As soon as Nanny Li waved her hand, the two women stopped. She gave Ye Zhaoqing a cold look, and said with a smile: "Miss, slaves don't want to do things so badly, you want It's not impossible for this girl to stay, but in the next half a month, I hope you can be more honest, miss, otherwise, this servant can't guarantee whether this girl will stay by your side."
"Hey..." Ling'er was out of breath after hearing this, her eyes were full of despair.
Miss, how did they fall into such a situation!
Ye Zhaoqing has been looking at Nanny Li with a calm expression, without saying a word, but this calm posture made Nanny Li feel scared. She hurriedly swaggered a few words, and then led the people away in a hurry.
Only the weeping Ling'er was left in the room.
Ye Zhaoqing walked over and helped Ling'er up from the ground, and said gently: "Good Ling'er, don't cry, the matter hasn't come to an end yet."
"Miss! The old lady is trying to throw you in the Jokhang Temple!" Ling'er raised her pear-blossoming rainy face and said with despair: "It was said to be half a month, but after half a month, the Hou Mansion will not Send someone to pick it up, how do we go down the mountain? Maybe in the future..."
"Going down the mountain? Why go down the mountain?" Ye Zhaoqing turned up the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and suddenly showed a sneer: "Even if we want to go down the mountain, they will pick us up gracefully!"
Ling'er was stunned when she saw her young lady's confident appearance.
Ye Zhaoqing glanced at her, didn't explain, just said: "Go and make a pot of tea, and then go to the temple to get some flour, there are freshly picked peach blossoms in this house, how about you make me a peach blossom cake? I remember you used to be the best at this."
Why did you just talk about eating it?
Ling'er's mind was so rigid that she couldn't turn the corner for a long time, but seeing her young lady's calm and composed appearance, her heart inexplicably settled down.
"Okay, miss, I'll do it now." Ling'er nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and went out. She wanted to find the best peach blossoms and make the most delicious peach blossom cakes for the miss!
Looking at her slender back, Ye Zhaoqing couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's really a headache to cry so much!
After Nanny Li gave Ye Zhaoqing a disgrace, she has been waiting for her to complain to Mrs. Ye crying, because the old lady has not left yet.
As long as Ye Zhaoqing goes, he will be severely punished by the old lady!
In this way, wouldn't it be effortless for her to deal with the two masters and servants in the future?
But she waited and waited, but there was no movement from Ye Zhaoqing's side. After Mrs. Ye and Ye Xiangwan's carriage went down the mountain, Nanny Li couldn't bear it anymore and brought people over.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the two masters and servants who she expected to hug and cry together, all with happy smiles on their faces, sitting in the main hall enjoying a plate of delicious peach blossom cakes.
It's so sweet!The whole house smells like this...
Don't know what to do.
Nanny Li sniffed her nose, envious at first, then turned cold. She strode into the room and said coldly to Ye Zhaoqing, "Miss, the old lady ordered you to pray for Lord Hou here." Yes, I didn't order you to enjoy it here! Did you listen to her words?"
Ye Zhaoqing put down half of the dim sum in his hand, turned his head and glanced at the majestic Li Nanny, and said with a half-smile: "It's true that there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are kings, Li Nanny, I heard that you have a fourteen-year-old His daughter’s name is Qiu Ju?”
Nanny Li paused as she rushed over, snorted coldly and said, "Why do you ask this, miss?"
"Nothing to do, I just heard that my mother recently wanted to choose a few maidservants for my brother who is the son of the prince and put them in the house. Your daughter, Madam Li, is in good condition! Maybe she is lucky enough to win my brother Pity, it's been a month!" Ye Zhaoqing said with a smile; "I want to congratulate Nanny."
Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Nanny Li's face turned pale in an instant, she pointed at Ye Zhaoqing and couldn't say a word.
Ye Zhaoqing continued to smile gently: "You don't want to see Nanny like this? What can I do? My mother always does things with my grandmother's approval. As someone close to my grandmother, you actually disagree with her." The decision? This is very difficult, if the old lady finds out, I am afraid she will be unhappy..."
"Missy, what are you talking about? This servant just doesn't want to watch her daughter jump into the fire pit, but this is Madam Hou's intention. What can I do?" Li Nanny said coldly.
Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and glanced at her, then casually reached out and brushed away the little pastry crumbs on his fingertips, the jade hands like white jade onion tubes looked very beautiful in the sun: "If I say, I have a way to make Qiuju get out of this matter." Can you trust me to get out and go out?"
"What? Do you have a solution?" After hearing this, Nanny Li looked up at Ye Zhaoqing from the beginning to the end, and said with disdain: "Miss, don't be joking, you are just an unfavored lady, what can you do?" Save my family Qiuju from the hands of the son of the world? What kind of person is the master of the world! A girl who has passed through his hands, don't even think about getting out alive..."
"Hasn't Qiu Ju been delivered yet?" Ye Zhaoqing said in a slow tone, "As long as no one enters the yard, everything can be negotiated, and it depends on human effort!"
Nanny Li looked at the eloquent and eloquent young lady in front of her, as if she had seen a ghost, her face was full of shock.
It took a long time before she found her own voice: "Missy really has a way?"
Ye Zhaoqing looked at her and smiled, but didn't answer.
Ling'er on the side snorted coldly, picked up the unfinished cakes on the table, turned around and went out of the house, walking and saying: "Miss, what do you care about this servant like a vicious dog? What do you care about Qiu Ju?" Those who are not Qiu Ju, it would be better if they are all dead!"
"You can't say that." After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing shook his head and said, "Ling'er, you must be grateful. You forgot that in the mansion, when we were so hungry that we couldn't eat, Qiu Ju used to sneak out of the kitchen. Did you give us steamed buns? People often say that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. You must have forgotten my teaching, right?"
Ling'er nodded, and reluctantly said: "Miss said this, the maidservant also remembered, there is such a thing, but Qiu Ju's mother is so unscrupulous, miss, you just want to help her, and you also have a heart." Powerless! When she really dies, we can't blame us!"
The master and the servant sang together, and they spoke very cheerfully, and Nanny Li's face turned red and pale at times.
After a long time, she suddenly gritted her teeth fiercely, and knelt down with a sudden plop!
