The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 87 The mechanism is too clever to calculate, and it has missed my life!
"My sister, in fact, someone already has someone in her heart, but that person is not His Royal Highness the First Prince!" Ye Xiangwan said word by word.

Concubine Rong was startled when she heard the words, and she looked at Ye Xiangwan in a strange way: "Second Miss Ye, do you know what the consequences will be if you say this?"

"My daughter knows! But my daughter doesn't want to see my mother being deceived!" Ye Xiangwan raised his face and said.

"Even if the whole family of Ningguohou's mansion will be executed, will you not hesitate?" Concubine Rong lowered her voice and said word by word.

Now it was Ye Xiangwan's turn to panic. Looking at Concubine Rong's still smiling face, she couldn't help shivering, but she pretended to be calm and said: "Mother, I believe that you won't lose your temper just because of one person." Bring disaster to the rest of the innocent people!"

"Why are you innocent?" Concubine Rong smiled softly after hearing this, but the smile was cruel no matter how you looked at it: "Ye Zhaoqing is your own sister, you have the same blood as hers, and you are also the same vulgar person in your bones." .”

Ye Xiangwan was stung by the phrase 'inferior', and she couldn't help but shouted: "Your Majesty! The minister is different from her!"

"Of course you are different." Concubine Rong still had Hexi's smile on her face when she heard the words: "Ye Zhaoqing is modest and polite, knows how to behave, and has good medical skills. With her by Yu'er's side, I am very happy." rest assured."

"But what do you have? Apart from a beautiful face, you don't have any merits."

Before that, Concubine Rong had a good impression of Ye Xiangwan, but what happened today changed her mind in an instant.

A person who wants to be rich, rich, and have a bright future can even betray his own sister. Such a person must be extremely selfish in his heart. If Yu'er has such a woman by his side, there will be constant disputes, and the house will be difficult. install.

She must not have such a situation happen!
"Your Majesty! A courtier also has other advantages..." Ye Xiangwan, who didn't know that she had already been eliminated because of her reckless behavior, was already in a mess. Hearing Concubine Rong's extremely contemptuous words, her heart suddenly surged. There was a wave of anger and panic, and she hurriedly explained: "The minister was taught by the retired mother of the inner court since she was a child, and she is familiar with all kinds of etiquette in the palace, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

"Choosing a princess is not about choosing a brothel oiran, what kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are you looking for?" Concubine Rong interrupted her unceremoniously: "As Yu'er's daughter-in-law, I feel that the first requirement is to have both talent and virtue. , this virtue is actually more important than talent and beauty."

As he said that, he glanced at Ye Xiangwan with a half-smile, and said, "Second Miss Ye, I actually valued your virtue before, and I thought that if you could survive for two or three years, I would let Yu I accept you as my side concubine. It's a pity that you made such a fuss today, and actually slandered your own sister, this kind of behavior, this palace really despises."

As he said that, he glanced at Ye Xiangwan with a sigh of regret on his face.

Ye Xiangwan was like a thunderbolt when he heard this!
Before coming here, she had imagined thousands of possibilities, but she didn't expect that when Concubine Rong heard that she said Ye Zhaoqing's heart belonged, she didn't care at all, and turned the finger on herself instead!
This is really too clever for all the tricks, and it has cost me my whole life!
Ye Xiangwan's face was pale, and after a long while, he finally said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, you already know that my sister has something to belong to, and that person is not His Highness, do you really not care about this matter!"

"I care, why don't you care." Concubine Rong said with a smile when she heard the words: "Since I care, I will naturally ask my good daughter-in-law to clarify, instead of listening to you slander here."

"Your Majesty, do you think that what the minister said must be slander? What if it is the truth?" Ye Xiangwan said unwillingly.

At this moment, her heart was already fried, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.I came here excitedly to seek the position of side concubine, but ended up ruining my future.

Say one thousand, say ten thousand, all because of Concubine Rong's weird attitude!

It's also my own carelessness, I didn't think carefully before coming here, if not, how could such a situation happen?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiangwan really regretted it, and felt bitter.

Knowing that Li Yu personally brought Ye Zhaoqing to live in the Jokhang Temple, she sent the news to Fang Zhilin without any trace, hoping to let them bite the dog and reap the power of the fisherman herself.Unexpectedly, that bitch Fang Zhilin failed.As soon as he returned to Beijing, he was married to Zhao Heng by the emperor.

I can be regarded as going to a strong enemy.

Seeing that the date of His Royal Highness being the crown prince is getting closer and closer, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to find Concubine Rong herself. Although she knew it was a bad idea, Ye Xiangwan, who was overly stimulated, couldn't care less .

Sure enough, she also failed.

"Whether you are slandering or not, I am not interested in knowing." Concubine Rong said indifferently, "Second Miss Ye has been driving for a long time and has never rested. I think she is tired. Let's go back first!"

She is an elegant person, and she is so polite even when seeing off guests.

Hearing this gentle but unquestionable voice, Ye Xiangwan slowly got up from the ground, filled with deep unwillingness.

"Second Miss Ye, please come with your servant!" Zhao'er stepped forward and said respectfully.

Ye Xiangwan nodded, and followed Zhao'er to the outside of the hall, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Your Majesty! The person my sister likes is actually Second Young Master Murong!"

The sound was so loud that almost all the palace eunuchs in the courtyard heard it.

Sitting in the inner room, Concubine Rong's face suddenly changed, she no longer cared about pretending to be gentle, and angrily shouted at the palace people beside her, "Come here! Get this crazy woman out!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" With an order, many eunuchs in the courtyard rushed towards Ye Xiangwan in unison!
"You don't need to do anything! I can walk by myself!" Ye Xiangwan yelled loudly, waved away the crowd with his sleeves, and strode out by himself.

The palace people looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not go forward to catch up.

In the room, Concubine Rong was already furious: "It's reversed! It's really reversed!" She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and shouted to the corridor: "Come on! Bring that bitch to Ben Gong! !"

At that time, the palace people made mistakes, and they would basically be punished with torture rods. One rod would hurt the heart, five rods would be bruised, twenty rods would not be able to get out of bed for half a month, and thirty rods would kill the delicate maids. Ten sticks is basically a dead end for a woman.

After Zhao'er heard this, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on her face, and she couldn't help persuading her: "Your Majesty, this Second Miss Ye is the jewel in Ning Guohou's palm after all, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to execute her like this?"

After Concubine Rong yelled out that sentence, she actually thought of this too, and when she heard this, her face was gloomy and she didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, you don't care about Ning Guohou's face, you have to think about it for His Royal Highness, right?" Seeing that Concubine Rong didn't stop her, Zhao'er became more courageous, and immediately continued to persuade: "In a few days, He is about to become a crown prince and marry Miss Ye, but at this juncture, you have punished the younger sister of the future crown princess, how many people will attack His Highness the crown prince with this rumor!"

After hearing this, Concubine Rong's expression softened a lot, she glanced at Zhao'er full of admiration and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable as a little girl, well, I won't punish her today, Send a few people to escort Second Miss Ye back to Beijing and hand it over to Ning Guohou, explain the whole story, and let Ning Guohou handle it himself!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao'er bowed, and said, "In this way, Marquis Ning Guo is responsible for everything, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty and His Highness the First Prince."

Concubine Rong smiled when she heard the words, but then she frowned tightly again: "I kept talking to her just now, and I didn't want her to say it, but this Ye Xiangwan is very brave, actually Everyone shouted out, this time, if there are monks passing by outside the courtyard, they will definitely listen."

"Your Majesty! You are worrying too much. This yard is surrounded by your own people within a hundred battles. Even if you hear it, you won't spread it." Zhao'er said.

"That won't work either." Concubine Rong shook her head and said, "The Crown Princess doesn't like the Crown Prince who likes others. This news is really terrifying! If some of the guards say it out loud, then wouldn't the wisdom of my first life, Yu'er, be ruined?" gone?"

After Zhao'er heard this, she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she just said: "Your Majesty, do you think other people will believe such an outrageous thing? Is there any woman in the world who would let someone as outstanding as the First Prince be displeased?" Love, but love someone else? Second Miss Ye yelled like crazy, but the servant didn't believe what she said. When she yelled so loudly, she seemed to be out of breath."

"Believe it or not, I don't know, but I believe it myself." When Concubine Rong heard the words, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Actually, I saw something unusual long ago. The woman next to her couldn't move her eyes when she saw Yu'er, but Ye Zhaoqing didn't even look at Yu'er from the beginning to the end!"

After finishing speaking, she saw Zhao'er's puzzled expression, and immediately explained: "What I said was when the two of them greeted each other."

When Zhao'er heard the words, he suddenly realized.

"But it's limited to this." Concubine Rong said again: "Although she has no affection for Yu'er, she is willing to detoxify him. Although I forced him, she has a heart."

Zhao'er nodded immediately when she heard the words: "Yes! Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. In order to detoxify His Royal Highness, Miss Ye has been busy these days, forgetting to eat and sleep. The method she researched is different from the previous doctors. , the chances of His Royal Highness becoming ill recently are getting smaller and smaller."

"" And recently, she has been trying her best to think of a way to ensure that the day of the canonization of His Highness the First Prince is safe. "Zhao'er tilted her head and said: "In such a busy schedule, she rarely even sees His Royal Highness the First Prince!But Miss Ye is not noisy, she only concentrates on doing her own things, and Lianhong, who serves her, sleeps soundly all day long. "

Concubine Rong couldn't help curling her lips when she heard the words: "If you don't love, how can you be worried?"

After hearing this, Zhao'er couldn't help but change his face, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, did you believe what Second Miss Ye said?"

"I only believe half of it." Concubine Rong snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Ye Zhaoqing is a person selected by my palace, how could I make such a low-level mistake! Ye Zhaoqing has no affection for Yu'er, but Not to anyone else."

Zhao'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty still has sharp eyes! You can tell at a glance that Miss Ye is deliberately slandering her own sister."

Concubine Rong was noncommittal, smiled mockingly after a while, and slowly closed her eyes and said: "Okay, you go down! I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao'er bowed and bowed, then retreated respectfully.

When Concubine Rong was the only one left in the room, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I'd rather believe it or not, I'd better send someone to investigate."

As she spoke, she waved her hand outside.

……

When Ning Guohou's family saw Ye Xiangwan who was brought back bound by concubine Rong's mother, everyone's face was full of astonishment.

"Master Hou, our mother asked the servant to give you a sentence." The leading Nanny Chang cut to the chase and said, "I hope you will discipline your second daughter well!"

Ningguo Marquis Ye Chen was surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Madam, what's going on? Could it be that Ah Wan offended Concubine Rong? The old minister is here to apologize to the empress on her behalf!" As he said, Then I have to salute.

"Master Hou doesn't have to be like this." Nanny Chang didn't accept his big gift, and moved away sideways, but she was still aggressive when she spoke: "Master Hou, do you know what Miss Ye said in front of the empress today? The eldest lady doesn't like the crown prince at all, but the second son of the Murong family!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen was so shocked that he couldn't stand still, but Mrs. Ye who was at the side quickly supported her.

"Mommy, are you serious?" Ye Chen asked in a trembling voice.

Nanny Chang sneered and said: "This is the original words of the empress! This servant is just telling the story!"

"Ah Wan, what the hell is going on here!" Ye Chen turned his head like lightning, and looked at Ye Xiangwan with a cold expression, his eyes filled with hatred.

His foothold in the court has always been unstable, and now it is easy to take advantage of Ye Zhaoqing's chance to become the princess, but who would have thought that Ye Xiangwan, an enemy, would be waiting for him here!

To report this to Concubine Rong in public, does she want to drag the entire Ningguo Hou Mansion to be buried with her?
I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!He was actually stabbed in the back by his most beloved daughter!
"Father, what my daughter said is the truth!" Ye Xiangwan saw the coldness and hatred in his father's eyes, but she didn't care, and still held her neck up and said: "Eldest sister, she just doesn't obey women's ways, she's flirtatious! I'm not wrong!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ye Xiangwan hard!
Soon, a clear red palm print appeared on Ye Xiangwan's beautiful face.She glanced at Ye Chen in disbelief, and murmured: "Father, you hit me?"

"It was you who hit you!" Ye Chen said, raising his hand again, and slapped Ye Xiangwan's other face. At this moment, there was a loud shout in the flower hall: "Stop!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Mrs. Ye coming in from the outside supported by a group of servants.

"Ah Wan!" The old lady ignored Chang Nanny and the others, walked over tremblingly, pulled Ye Xiangwan into her arms, and said viciously to Ye Chen, "What do you want to do? Why are you coming at my wife!"

Mrs. Ye actually protects this Second Miss Ye so much...

Nanny Chang stood aside without speaking, but there was a sneer in her eyes.

"Mother! Do you know what a rebellious thing Ah Wan has done this time?" Ye Chen looked at his old mother's domineering appearance, and said helplessly, "Zhaoqing is already a princess, but she ran to Concubine Rong by herself. , Said that Zhaoqing loves not the prince, but has another man in her heart! Do you think she is looking for death? Is she trying to push our Ningguohou's mansion to death?"

"Ah Wan is right!" After hearing this, Mrs. Ye not only did not blame Ye Xiangwan at all, but instead sneered at Ye Chen: "A few days ago, I heard news from Lin Xiang's family that It was when Zhaoqing was living there that he fell in love with a young cousin of Lin's mansion, and even did some unbearable things, such a person is not worthy of being a crown princess!"

"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Chen never thought that his old lady was also a master who harmed him, and he was a little furious when he heard the words: "Where did you hear the swear words? This is because someone wants to hurt you on purpose." Let's! Zhaoqing is not that kind of person at all!" He said, without waiting for Mrs. Ye to refute, he waved his hand and called in several guards: "The old lady and the second young lady are bewildered! Take them down and take care of them!"

"Ye Chen! How dare you!" Mrs. Ye threw the dragon-headed cane in her hand on the ground viciously, and said angrily, "If you have the ability, can you say it again?"

"Mother! I beg you, son! Don't say it's over?" Ye Chen didn't dare to disrespect his mother, and pleaded, "Do you really hope that the entire Ningguohou Mansion will be buried with this girl?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye didn't care at all. She snorted coldly and said, "The funeral star Ye Xiangwan should be buried with the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion, right?"

"It's really obsessed!" Ye Chen said with a helpless face, "If Zhaoqing is a mourner, can he be chosen by Concubine Rong?"

"Your Majesty is just being deceived by her!" Mrs. Ye said, she finally turned her head to look at Nanny Chang, and said in a deep voice, "This Nanny, please tell Concubine Rong that no matter what rebellious things Ye Zhaoqing does , have nothing to do with the Ningguohou Mansion!"

Nanny Chang blinked her eyes and said, "Does the old madam mean to break with the princess?"

"Why do you still call me Crown Princess?" Mrs. Ye paused when she heard that, then turned her head to look at her and said, "Isn't your empress planning to change her name to Crown Princess?"

Mother Chang smiled when she heard the words, and said: "That's not true. As for what the second Miss Ye of your mansion said, our mother doesn't believe it, she thinks it is a slander." After speaking, she paused and said: "Please tell me Please be prepared, our empress has already planned to investigate this matter, if it is found out that the second lady is falsely accused, she will definitely make the decision for the crown princess."

As soon as the words call the shots, Mrs. Ye trembled all over. She glanced at Nanny Chang in disbelief, and asked, "Nurse, you are right! How could Ah Wan slander her sister? That The Sangmen Star has indeed done such a thing!"

"Madam, please respect yourself." Mother Chang also said with a cold face: "This is the first time this servant has seen the grandmother who killed her granddaughter in so many years, and the younger sister who died with her dearest sister! These words, slave will understand Pass it on to Concubine Rong intact."

Mrs. Ye finally changed her face when she heard this.

"It seems that Lord Hou is the only one who understands the family." Nanny Chang said, then turned her head and bowed to Ye Chen, and said, "Please tell Lord Hou what is going on so that I can go back and tell you what happened." Madam report."

This was clearly forcing him to make a choice between his two daughters.

If you choose Ye Zhaoqing, then Ye Xiangwan's life will be over, and vice versa.

After hearing this, Ye Chen's face sank like water, and he suddenly became embarrassed.

"Ye Chen!" Mrs. Ye became anxious immediately: "Ah Wan was raised by you. Is it true that you have loved her in all these years? My old lady left her words here today, you If you dare to say that Ah Wan is wrong, my old lady will be bumped to death in front of you!"

"Grandmother..." Ye Xiangwan burst into tears when she heard this, and she couldn't help calling Mrs. Ye, but she couldn't say a word.

As for Mrs. Ye at the side, she didn't interrupt at all.

Nanny Chang stood where she was, seeing all the eyes of everyone on the field, and she was already thinking about it, so she repeated the question just now.

"What is the matter, please tell Hou Ye so that the servants can go back and report to the empress."

Ye Chen knew that he could no longer avoid it, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Nanny Chang, and said like a desperate man, "Nurse Chang, it's a well-known fact that my little girl lived in Prime Minister Lin's mansion some time ago. There, something did happen."

"I'm right, right? That mourner star is not honest at all!" Mrs. Ye opened her mouth, and was about to say a few words with great interest, when she suddenly saw Ye Chen's cold eyes.

She had never seen such a look on her son's face.

Mrs. Ye felt a little flustered in her heart, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Ye Chen then went on to say: "Before I went to the Lin Mansion to pick up my little girl in person, and I heard a few women deliberately avoiding some slanderous remarks on the way, so I was so angry that I went to talk to Master Lin. In the end, I learned a remarkable thing.”

"Oh? What is it?" Nanny Chang asked with great interest.

Ye Chen sighed, and said, "Old Master Lin and Prime Minister Lin personally apologized to Ben Hou, saying that Mrs. Lin was responsible for all that. I just ask Ben Hou to forgive me. As you know, Nanny Chang, Miss Lin's family is also proposing marriage. He is about the same age as Zhaoqing in my family, and the Lin family intends to send him to the East Palace, but later found out that His Highness the First Prince prefers Zhaoqing."

"Master Hou means that Mrs. Lin designed all of this?" Nanny Chang's eyes flashed and said, "The reason is to destroy Miss Ye's reputation so that Miss Lin can take over?"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded, and said, "Mr. Lin has already apologized to the Marquis for this matter. In addition, Zhao Qing has a good relationship with Miss Lin, and he doesn't want this matter to be exposed. This Marquis chose to forbear. Thinking of being stabbed out in the end." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his mother and said, "Mother, how did you know about this? I never said it! The Lin family didn't let the wind out of their guilty conscience!"
