he had to put it back. "Ye Wenyan, you called me back in such a hurry, what's the matter"She tilted her head back and smiled at him, the breathtaking beauty of Lin'an's number one beauty reflected in..."Don't they even care about my grandmother" Yè Hóngzhuāng felt a surge of despair. Thinking back to what her mother had told her last night about the Xiao family, she couldn't help but curse Ye Wenyan again.
It was all because of Ye Wen, that little wretch, who caused this whole mess. If it weren't for her, Sixth Prince would still be fine, and he might even have become emperor. 。"How on earth can I kill that little bastard" Xiao Shubi also wanted to know how to kill Ye Wenyan. For a moment, the mother and daughter were both lost in thought. 。Xiao Shubi thought again of the one million taels of silver owed to the Duke of Su's mansion, which was due tomorrow. He couldn't help but feel even more agitated. 。"It is said that the princess will hold a birthday banquet in two days and has invited Ye Wenyan." 。"Ye Hongzhuang pondered to herself, "If there were more people going with me, the Princess' Mansion wouldn't necessarily refuse us! After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face. If we go there with gifts, the Princess' Mansion would surely accept them" She curled her lip and let out a soft snort. If Ye Wenyan had an accident at the Princess' Mansion, with the Grand Princess as the top enemy above and so many banquet guests below, it would have nothing to do with her, Ye Hongzhuang." 。The carriage finally arrived at Chaofeng Gate, and Xiao Sh beyaz got off the carriage with her night-red makeup far ahead. 。She came today with a name card from the Xiao family. Madam Xiao and Empress Li were distant relatives, so a name card from the Xiao family was more useful here than one from the Ye family. 。The guards at the gate scrutinized the name cards carefully. Another person said, "Madam cannot enter the palace even with a name card unless invited by the Empress Dowager." 。But after all, Old Madam Xiao is a relative of the Empress Dowager, so we will still send someone to Yong'an Palace to report this to you. 。As for whether the Empress Dowager would agree to this, that's uncertain. 。“Xiao Sh beyaz thanked them again and again. To make sure she could see the Empress Dowager, she pointed to Ye Hongzhuang: “This one, I don’t know if you recognize her. She is the Princess Consort of Su, the Empress Dowager’s own daughter-in-law.” 。Today, my daughter and I are visiting relatives. Empress Dowager will definitely meet us. 。The imperial guard looked at Ye Hongzhuang with a shake of his head, "My position is low and I don't recognize so many noble people" 。If Consort Shu were to arrive, there would be no need for an announcement. She could proceed directly. 。"Excuse me, madam, do you have a waist token from the Duke's Mansion of Discipline Our duty lies in recognizing only tokens, not individuals." 。"
Ye Hongzhuang shook her head, "I went back to my mother's house these past few days, and I didn't bring the waist card with me. "
" I'm sorry, please wait a moment. I will go and inform them." 。”
This man was about to leave when a voice came from behind them, "Wait!"
The two turned around. When they saw the person clearly, Xiao Shǔbai was taken aback, while Yè Hóngzhuāng shuddered violently.
The imperial guards had knelt and saluted, calling out, " Regent King!" The person who arrived was none other than Regent King Quan Ji. He ignored the guards' salute, his gaze fixed on Ye Hongzhuang. After a moment of silence, he let out a cold snort, "What are you doing here"Ye Hongzhuang trembled uncontrollably, as if she had been transported back to Su Wangfu, facing that fake Sixth Prince, the icy whips... 。She knew too well that this Regent and the fake Sixth Prince were in cahoots. The two met frequently, and every meeting would involve long private discussions in the study. 。She also went to the Prince Regent's Mansion with that man and heard news about the Third and Fourth Princes. 。The moment they met, her intuition told her this trip was likely in vain. She probably wouldn't get to see Empress Li. 。Not only did he fail to find it, but he also scared the snake away. 。"I went into the palace with my mother." 。"Yèhóng zhuāng lowered her head, speaking in a very soft voice." 。
Quan Ji said, "This is not the place you should be. Go back!"
Xiao Shu Bai spoke up, “Why doesn’t the Regent Prince let us into the palace” “My daughter and I are both members of the Xiao family and the Ye family. From either side, we have the right to enter the palace once.”
You are indeed the Regent, but this is Chao Feng Gate, not the former dynasty. A Regent should not involve himself in matters of the inner court. 。"Hmm" Quanji looked at Xiao Shubi for a while, then sneered, "What you say makes sense, but this king doesn't like to hear it." 。In short, you two are not allowed to enter this palace gate. Return quickly! As for whether I should concern myself with imperial affairs or matters of the harem, that is a matter for our Quan family. Outsiders have no right to interfere. 。After finishing his words, he glanced at the forbidden soldier who was about to go through the transmission gate. The forbidden soldier immediately understood and decided not to go through the transmission gate anymore. 。Xiao Shubi and Ye Hongzhuang were utterly despairing. 。There's also something else, they just don't know about it now. If they did, they would be even more desperate. 。Yè Wēn Yán entered the palace! Even an hour before the two of them set out, Yè Wēn Yán had already entered the inner court, heading straight for Cháng Xìn Palace. 。Even because he arrived too early, he could accompany Empress Dowager Yu for an early meal in the palace. 。Ye Wen wasn't alone. She brought Ye Qingmei and Ye Chu Lian, and she also brought along the skilled craftsman Ying Peng. 。But Andeng wasn't as carefree. It was inconvenient to go to the inner palace early in the morning, so she had to be led by a maidservant first to the Hall of Immortals to wait for a while. She had to wait until the Empress Dowager finished her breakfast and the Emperor went to court before she could follow the Emperor back to the inner palace. 。As for Ye Wenyan being able to enter the palace, Empress Yu was quite pleased. Upon hearing that Ye Wenyan would be having breakfast with her, she instructed the maids to prepare the breakfast as lavishly as possible, thus demonstrating her importance placed upon Ye Wenyan. 。Because he valued the night temperature, he also cared about Ye Qingmei and Ye Chu Lian. He even asked Ye Qingmei again if she had been promised to anyone, and even after hearing the result, he asked: "Have you ever thought of changing your husband's family" Ye Qingmei shook her head blushing, thinking that a husband's family could be changed just by saying so But it was not good to speak to the Empress Dowager like this, so she could only use her eyes to signal Ye Wenyan to help her out of the situation. 。Ye Wen then advised Empress Yu: “My elder sister is several years older than the Emperor, it’s not suitable” 。" A little bit of knowing how to be considerate, steady, and most suitable for the position of an empress. " 。“Even Empress Dowager Yu was going all out, ‘As long as Qing Mei nods, I’ll immediately send a dowry and marriage contract to the Ye family.’” 。When the emperor turns eighteen, the marriage can be arranged. 。Ye Wen heard this and couldn't help but look at Ye Qingmei. This was a real commitment, even the empress position was offered. 。Ye Qingmei just thought her own younger sister was too unreliable, she fell on both sides too quickly. 。Seeing Ye Qingmei truly had no intention of nodding, Empress Yu sighed helplessly, “It seems I am not fortunate enough” 。After finishing her sentence, before Ye Qingmei could even offer a polite farewell, he turned his attention back to Ye Chulian. "Fifth Miss, have you been betrothed"Ye Chulian was heartbroken. She had just come along to eat, when did she become part of some script But since the Empress Dowager asked, she had to answer. With gritted teeth, she said, “My humble self is still young and unmarried. However, I will not consider the Emperor. Please, Your Majesty,—" She almost blurted out "die," but luckily caught herself in time and changed it to —“Please, Your Majesty, find another woman for the Emperor that you deem suitable. My humble self is merely a lowly daughter of the Ye family and am unworthy of the Emperor." 。A common daughter fears what 。"The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "This old concubine isn't the rightful empress, and the Emperor is also a son born out of wedlock. Him, a son born out of wedlock, marrying you, a daughter born out of wedlock, isn't that perfect! Fifth Miss, consider it carefully." 。 "Not considering, not considering" 。"Ye Chu Lian immediately waved her hand, "Absolutely not." 。"So resolute" Empress Yu was deeply disappointed, but she was also a positive person who always tried her best to find hope even when she felt down. 。Then, she turned around and pulled the jade pendant right over. "You, you can always..." 。"
Zhuier was dumbfounded, "Who Who could it be"
Yu Taizu: “You” 。" What can I do" Empress Yu: "Marry the Emperor" 。"I won't do it!" Zhuai desperately hid behind Ye Wen, "I won't do it, I'd rather die than do it!" 。Marrying the emperor isn't a good life at all. You have to face so many women every day and be schemed against by them. Who knows, they might even plot to kill me any day! I would never marry the emperor. I'd rather marry a coachman than him. 。She was wailing there, and Quán Qīngchéng came in with Wú Fǔ and Yìng Péng, just hearing Zhuì'er say, "Even if I married a coachman, I wouldn't marry the Emperor." 。The young emperor immediately turned his face red— "Say that again!" Zhuai'er was startled, thinking to herself, *Could it be this coincidental* Whoever she cursed at would come. Her luck was simply terrible! 。But she has never been afraid of Quan Qingcheng. Seeing Quan Qingcheng glaring at her with wide eyes and yelling at her, she got even angrier. She retorted, "Say it again, I'll say it again! I'd rather marry a coachman than you, Quan Qingcheng!""You... Why" Quan Qingcheng was so angry his face turned blue, "Where am I not better than a coachman You don't want to marry me, fine. Why compare a coachman to me" "My young mistress said that everyone in this world is equal, and no one is nobler than anyone else..." 。"How can you not compare yourself to the coachman Not comparing means you think my young mistress, your elder sister, is wrong. Do you dare say your sister is wrong"
“I dare…that’s strange! Wenyan Sister is not wrong, any mistakes are ours…” 。"That's right!" Zhuier finally broke free from Empress Yu's grasp and stood straight behind Ye Wenyan, "I will follow my mistress for the rest of my life, I won't marry anyone else." 。Especially you, Quan Qingcheng, just thinking about your future harem full of women gives me a headache. Please don't count me in, just thinking about it makes me sick. 。What a pain to do things wrong and aim to be emperor. 。" Quan Qingcheng was very dejected, "I didn't even mind that you were a maid, and you actually disdain me for being the emperor. What kind of world is this now Pei'er, do you know that if people outside heard this thought, they would definitely think you were an idiot." 。"I'm not stupid, thank you" 。"Besides, my name is Zhu'er. I have to remind you every time, don't you ever remember"
“What difference does it make whether I remember or not You're not my wife, so calling me Zhu'er or Pei'er is the same anyway,” Quán Qīngchéng snorted a few times, and then came over to greet Empress Yu, “Son has seen Mother.” 。"
Empress Dowager Yu was smiling at this moment, the more she watched these two bicker, the more interesting she found it. In her heart, she pondered, "Originally, I thought if the emperor liked Zhu'er, I would bring her into the palace as a concubine" 。At a glance, the concubine is small, but she should still be treated as a noble consort. 。This maidservant must have spoiled Ye Wenyan into this kind of temperament, she must be extremely favored by her master. 。As long as Ye Wen enjoys it, I'll just grit my teeth and give him a queen!cle didn't want the silver bills, he just threw them on the ground. You can't just leave them there, right This really is, something's not right, which link went wrong For a moment, the Xiao family wa...
