Chapter 2 The Reason for the Marriage
Li Yuyan took a step forward and saluted: "My granddaughter has met her grandmother, and my daughter has met her father."
Mrs. Li turned her eyes away and looked surprised: "It's great that Yuyan is back, but why is she wearing a veil?"
"My granddaughter has a spot on her face that cannot be removed. She has no choice but to do so." She ignored the looks of people around her and responded calmly.
Hearing this, Mrs. Li sighed slightly, and was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard her eldest son Li Zongfa say: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Regardless of whether he is disfigured or not, it is enough to be a pawn of the Li family.
Li Yuyan smiled faintly.
Just a few words, full of coldness.
"But Yuyan Pan is back." Mrs. Feng stepped forward with a smile, "When you have time, go to the ancestral hall and offer incense to your mother."
Li Yuyan nodded slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Feng, for the tip."
Feng had been straightened up, but her expression did not change when she was called that way.
Li Zongfa shouted: "You are not big or small, why should you call me Aunt Feng?"
Mrs. Feng hurriedly grabbed Li Zongfa to cheer him up: "Master, don't be angry. There are children who can't change for a while. I don't dare to compare myself with my sister. I just hope that I can be one of the ten best of my sister and I will be satisfied."
.”
Li Manting from the side came over in a few steps and took Li Yuyan's arm affectionately: "In the past few years since my sister has been away from home, I have been thinking about her day and night. Now that my sister has recovered and her skin is white, I am so happy that I don't know what to say.
That’s good.”
People with different expressions echoed in unison.
Li Yuyan watched them perform with a smile on her face.
At this moment, a eunuch sang loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived——"
Everyone knelt down.
"Emperor, Zhao said, the fifth lady of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Li Yuyan, is a virtuous and virtuous woman. She is now betrothed to the Crown Prince Ye Yiheng as the Crown Princess..."
The corners of Li Yuyan's lips moved slightly under her veil. It turned out that these people were not only waiting for her, but also for the imperial edict.
Everyone in Beijing knows that she is the most ugly woman in the world. It is really difficult for the emperor to describe her as virtuous and virtuous.
But, given the title of Crown Princess...
How could this happen to her?
It seemed that her dream was not groundless.
"Appreciate this!"
As the eunuch's singing ended, Li Zongfa accepted the order.
The eunuch who announced the order had a smile on his face: "Master Marquis, I will invite Miss Li Wu into the palace later to express my gratitude."
"Of course I should." Li Zongfa nodded, quietly gave the red envelope, and raised his hand to have tea brought to him.
Not long after, Li Yuyan went back to his dormitory to rest for a while. Others also left the hall in twos and threes, leaving the Marquis and the old lady to chat with the eunuch who announced the decree.
On the backyard path, Li Manting walked hastily.
Seeing that her daughter was trembling a little, Mrs. Feng hurriedly pulled her to a quiet place. Seeing no one coming around, she asked quietly: "Do you regret that you gave up the position of Crown Princess to that little hoof?"
"Mom, the prince was short-lived, blind, and a useless man. I have no regrets."
"Then why are you so angry?"
"What makes your daughter angry is that she has become so slim?" Li Manting's eyes were filled with jealousy.
"Don't she have spots on her face? She can't compare to my good daughter after all!" Mrs. Feng patted her daughter's hand, "Besides, when the prince returns to the West, whether Little Hooves can survive is still a question."
Li Manting's eyes lit up: "Mom, what do you mean?"
Feng curled her lips and sneered, then leaned over and whispered.
"Suicide for love?" Li Manting asked doubtfully, "How could she be willing?"
"Silly girl, it is said that she died for love. She said that she was deeply in love with the prince. This shows that our daughter of the Li family values love and righteousness. It will be good for you in the future. You can't let her die in vain." Feng touched her lovingly.
Touch my daughter's face.
How could a daughter born from a bitch be compared to her daughter?
On the other side, Li Yuyan came to Qingyuju, the courtyard where the original owner once lived.
It feels familiar, as if she has really lived here.
It was as if the original owner was her, and she was the original owner.
However, the courtyard was not as bustling as before, and her maids were nowhere to be seen. There was only a woman sweeping the courtyard.
The marriage was too sudden for her. She had just arrived in the capital, and now she was about to enter the palace. There were some things she needed to know urgently. She wanted to ask some questions in her bedroom, but she couldn't bear to think that things were different here.
No matter what, I can ask one by one. With this thought, Li Yuyan walked to his mother-in-law: "Do you know why the emperor suddenly granted marriage to Li Mansion?"
During the questioning, she made a gesture. Miaozhu understood and immediately took out a piece of silver and placed it on the stone table.
The mother-in-law glanced at the money and did not take it: "This matter is not a secret. Everyone in the capital knows it. The young lady just came back and didn't know it."
"How do you know that I am the young lady in this mansion?"
"No one usually comes to Qingyu Residence. The reason for cleaning today is because the young lady is going back to the house." The mother-in-law slowly raised her head, "The most important thing is that the young lady's eyes are very similar to those of the late Madam."
Li Yuyan was surprised: "Are you Mother Zhao?"
Mother Zhao knelt on the ground with a plop: "The eldest young master and his wife passed away one after another, and the young lady was kicked out of the house. The old slave could only pretend to be deaf and mute so that he could see the young lady today!"
Just now while she was cleaning, she heard someone coming in, but she was used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, so she continued to pretend not to hear. Just now she heard the same sweet voice as the late lady when she was young, and she knew that the young lady was back!
Li Yuyan personally helped the person up: "Mother Zhao, you have suffered so much!"
Mother Zhao shook her head and took her young lady to take a closer look before lowering her voice: "Because His Highness the Crown Prince is blind, the Emperor wants to depose the Crown Prince. In order to make up for it, he is going to find a wife for the Crown Prince, but who is willing?"
Miaozhu spoke quickly: "Why? Even if the prince is blind and deposed, he is still a prince. How come no one is willing to marry him?"
Mother Zhao glanced at the door of the hospital: "The prince is not only blind, he is also weak and has only a few years to live. It is said that he has hidden diseases."
"Hidden disease, what hidden disease?" Miaozhu asked again with a frown.
Mother Zhao whispered embarrassedly: "It's just inhumane. In this situation, who is willing to send their good daughter into a pit of fire?"
Hearing this, Li Yuyan inexplicably remembered those dreams. In the dreams, his eyes were covered with white gauze and he claimed to be alone. These were consistent with reality.
But now I heard that the prince had a hidden illness, and he in the dream...
Could it be that some of the information in the dream was inaccurate?
At this time, Zhao's mother said again: "The Tian family wants a daughter-in-law from an aristocratic family, and a legitimate daughter. Why don't the legitimate daughter of a noble family put her treasure on another prince?"
"Then why did you choose our lady?" Miaozhu was very angry.
"Originally, they were interested in the third lady. The master and his wife became anxious and then went to the palace. I don't know what they said to the emperor. The emperor actually agreed to let the fifth lady replace the third lady."
Li Zongfa, Marquis of Ningyuan, had many daughters, but his only legitimate daughters were the fifth daughter, Li Yuyan, from his first wife, and the third daughter, Li Manting, from the Feng family.
After hearing this, Li Yuyan asked Miaozhu and Zhao's mother to stay in the yard while she went into the bedroom.
After a few days of traveling and traveling, the patches of skin on my face showed signs of lifting.
Just in case, she re-pasted the patch of skin carefully.
In the East Palace at this moment, Ye Yiheng, whose eyes were covered with white gauze, was playing chess with Jiang Lecheng, and a young eunuch was playing chess for the prince beside him.
