After the wedding of King Zhao, the royal family took the lead, and various high-ranking officials and noble families married and took concubines. The capital soon returned to its lively life. Dandies also reappeared on the streets, and business in Huali Street and Liuxiang was also over.

Getting better.

The second wife was originally mentally ill. After Yujia's affairs were properly handled, the second wife let go of her worries and gradually recovered from her illness. Once the national mourning was over, the second wife also began to get busy. The marriage of the grandfather must be discussed. The Yang family

The children are quite old, and only after the elder brother marries his wife can the following brothers take care of themselves.

Seeing that the marriage of a son or daughter of an honorable family has been agreed upon. Some families who thought about climbing up the dragon and marrying the phoenix couldn't sit still. There was a lot of traffic in front of the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, and the threshold was almost broken.

Thinking about it, Ye Yichen, as the most powerful prince in the empire, has a simple family. He has no mother-in-law, sister-in-law to serve, and no brother-in-law to divide the family property. If he marries, he can be the master of the family. Although

There was a legitimate son before, but if the step-concubine can give birth to a legitimate son, she can be named a county prince in the future. Therefore, even though she is filling a house, it is not much different from the first serious princess. All the noble daughters of the capital are also flocking to her.

In the end, even Concubine Yi in the palace had some thoughts and planned to marry her niece to Ye Yichen. Concubine Yi's maiden name was Su. Although it could not be compared with a large family like the Xiao family, it was still considered a prominent family.

The concubine had no sons, but she had two princesses under her knees. The emperor did not have many children, and he was very fond of the princesses. Because she had no sons, Concubine Yi detached herself from the fight for the legitimate heir and stayed above the court.

In recent years, especially after Chen Jia came to the emperor, the emperor became increasingly indifferent to the concubines in the harem. Concubine Yi had two princesses to rely on, and she was also the head of the first palace, whether it was the queen or Concubine Xiao, who on the other hand

She also didn't want to provoke Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi lived a happy life.

The prince's parents are gone, so the emperor's brother has to make the decision. Concubine Yi said to the emperor that she wanted the emperor to grant a marriage, and she settled the matter. The emperor said: "This matter

It’s better to ask your sixteenth brother what you think about this matter.”

Even the emperor was a little afraid of Ye Yichen, his younger brother. If Ye Yichen didn't want to do it himself, the emperor was not willing to force him.

When the emperor called Ye Yichen to Qianqing Palace and mentioned the matter, Ye Yichen refused immediately. Ye Yichen said: "I need to find a girl who is both talented and beautiful, and who shares my heart and mind."

I don’t know how these words came out. It’s not difficult to have both talent and beauty, but to have the same heart and mind? If you don’t marry and go back to live in the past, who knows whether that girl will have the same mind and heart as you!

These words also reached Yulan's ears. She just smiled slightly when she heard them, but she knew in her heart that the prince meant these words to her. When she thought about it, she felt warm and happy in her heart!

After a year of silence, the spring banquet of the noble family was held as lively as in the past. At this time in previous years, the eldest wife would receive countless posts, but this year the number has dropped significantly. The so-called official is not as good as

Now that the old man is no longer in that position, the Yang family no longer has its former glory, and the eldest lady can't help but feel a little depressed.

After all, the eldest wife is also the biological mother of the crown princess. Even if her husband is only a third-rank minister in the imperial court and his status is there, he still has to have the airs he deserves. The eldest wife declined some less important invitations and chose the more important ones.

After visiting several places and attending several banquets in a few days, she also felt very tired.

After handling some important household chores in the flower hall, the eldest lady returned to the room and just sat down. Mother Wu hurried in and blessed her: "Madam, a mother came to Princess Qingjiang's residence and said she was here to deliver a post!

"

The eldest lady was slightly surprised. Since the hairpin ceremony last time, the Yang Mansion and Princess Qingjiang's Mansion have established a relationship. As the mistress of the house, the eldest lady is responsible for socializing in the circle of ladies. Naturally,

Knowing the importance of Princess Qingjiang, the eldest wife wanted to have a good relationship with the princess before but had trouble contacting her. Now that Yulan is connecting her, the two families are getting along very well.

Princess Qingjiang obviously liked Yulan very much, and she would always ask her to go to the princess's mansion from time to time.

On second thought, the mother said: "Our princess has said that there will be a spring banquet in the mansion on the tenth day of April in two days. We will invite the madam, the second madam, the fifth madam and all the ladies. The seventh lady will come to show your respects. The princess has already invited Shao.

Hetang, we are going to have a concert in the mansion!" He ordered Yulan to come out alone.

After saying that, she handed over a box with carved red lacquer. Mother Wu quickly took the box, opened it, and took out the bright red and gold invitation inside to show it to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady took it and looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Mom, please go back and tell the princess that I will take my daughter to have fun that day."

After sending her mother away from the princess's house, when Yulan came over to say hello after dinner, the eldest lady thought about it and told her about the matter. Princess Qingjiang asked Yulan to go there by name, so naturally the eldest lady couldn't dismiss the princess.

Yulan’s heart skipped a beat and she thought: The prince has probably started to take action.

It was the first time in two lives that she was going to get married. When the event came, Yulan was nervous, excited, and anxious. When that day came, Yulan dressed up and followed her elders in a carriage to the princess's mansion. Qingjiang

The princess personally greeted them at the door. All three ladies came today. Now the only remaining young ladies of the Yang family who have not left the cabinet are Yulan and Yuqing. Yuqing was also brought by the second wife today.

The eldest lady took Princess Qingjiang's hand and said as close as sisters: "How can you come out in person to welcome her! How can we bear this?"

Princess Qingjiang smiled happily and said: "If you can bear it, I hit it off with several ladies and ladies, and I will try to get closer to them in the future."

Yulan and Yuqing came forward to greet her. Princess Qingjiang took Yulan's hand and looked at her carefully: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You are really getting older and more upright. Look at this little appearance, like a flower.

You will definitely be a lucky person in the future!"

What she said was very meaningful. Yulan heard the implication and felt a little anxious. He lowered his head and just said: "Princess Princess, thank you!"

The three ladies quickly humbly helped Yulan get out of the situation with words and words. After a while, the sedan came, and everyone took the green sedan and went straight into the princess's mansion. When they got to the second gate, they got off the sedan.

Princess Qingjiang personally led them into the flower hall where guests were entertained.

Along the way, we passed through a small garden. Everyone saw that a stage had been set up in the garden. April was already the season when the grass grew and the orioles flew. In the small garden of the princess's mansion, the willows were blowing, the spring was full of rain, and the grass was growing.

Lan had no intention of watching until he arrived at the flower hall, where everyone sat down separately, including Yu Qing. Everyone was stunned.

It turned out that except for two young girls, there was not a single guest in the flower hall. It was not too early for the female members of the Yang family to set out. I originally thought that the princess's mansion would be crowded with guests at this time, but I never expected that such a scene would turn out.

Yulan was even more aware. The princess called the two girls to come forward and meet everyone: "These are the children under my knees." They introduced them to several wives and Yulan Yuqing one by one. "We must do this in the future.

Get closer and closer."

Although Princess Qingjiang appears to be polite on the surface, she is actually not easy to handle. Since Princess Married Princess, she has said goodbye to concubine forever. Naturally, there is nothing in this mansion.

Yulan looked carefully at the concubine's two daughters, and saw that the older one was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was twelve or thirteen years old. They both had oval faces, and they were 67% similar to the princess's.

The two girls are dignified and beautiful, and their speech is very appropriate and thoughtful. They are worthy of royal blood.

Several ladies presented them with greeting gifts, and the princess arranged for everyone to sit down, and ordered the maids to serve tea. The eldest lady saw that it was already late, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Princess Princess, this guest is here today.

Why is it so slow?"

Princess Qingjiang smiled and said: "Aren't all the guests here? What guests are we waiting for?"

The eldest lady was stunned: "What does the princess mean?"

Princess Qingjiang said: "As I said just now, I hit it off with you ladies and gentlemen of the Yang family, and I really want to get close to you, so I specially invited you here."

I’ve never heard of anyone’s spring banquet being held like this!

Now even Yu Qing, who was the least ignorant of world affairs, understood that something was wrong with the princess!

But the princess smiled and said: "Since you are here, please be at ease. Let's taste this top-quality red robe first. It was gifted by the emperor himself. The stage in the garden has been set up. We will go over to watch the show in a while."

.The ladies have been bored at home all day long, busy entertaining the directors. When you come to my house today, you ladies must be relaxed and relaxed. If you have anything to do, let’s talk about it after lunch!”

While greeting everyone, having a cup of tea, and going to the garden to watch a play, two girls from the Princess's Mansion came up to talk to Yulan Yuqing. Although the two girls were of the Tian family's blood, they had no pretensions at all. Yulan and

Yuqing didn't feel too restrained. We chatted about clothes, jewelry, and the news in Beijing, and soon it was lunch time.

The eldest lady was preoccupied with her thoughts this morning and didn't listen to a single word of what was being performed on the stage. Princess Qingjiang was able to keep her composure and only chatted with the three ladies about domestic matters without missing a word.

It wasn't until lunch was over that the eldest lady stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, we should go back to the house. Thank you very much, Princess, for your hospitality today!"

But the princess smiled and said: "If you are not busy, please leave the three ladies here. There are several scenic spots in my mansion that are modeled after Jiangnan gardens, so I asked my two daughters to take the two young ladies with them.

Let’s go and see the scenery, relax! I have a big matter to discuss with the three ladies. Once this big thing is settled, I will send the three ladies out of the house, how about it?”

The three ladies looked at each other. After Princess Qingjiang said this, they had no choice but to stay. The eldest wife and the second wife gave Yulan and Yuqing a few words respectively, and asked them to take their maids and follow the two ladies from the princess's mansion.

.

The four people sat down again, and the little maid changed the tea. The princess did not show off this time and said straightforwardly: "To be honest with you three ladies, I invite you here this time. I really have a big matter to discuss with you."

The three ladies were silent, waiting for the princess to continue. The princess said: "Yulan is a child with both good looks and outstanding talents. The more I see him, the more I like him, so I have this idea. I want to

Hired her for my brother!”

The three ladies were all surprised. The eldest lady said: "You mean, you want to marry Yu Lan for His Highness the King of Qin?"

The princess slapped her forehead and said: "Look what I said, I didn't make it clear. The younger brother I was talking about was not Fengqi, but Yichen!"

The fifth wife was surprised, fearing that the eldest wife would agree immediately, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Your Highness, although Yulan is a commoner, she was raised by our Yang family as a serious young lady. Regardless of her family status, she will always find someone to look after."

One door together

The most suitable marriage is to make her the official grandma in the future! Whether it is the King of Qin or the King of Jin, if you want Yulan to marry as a concubine, we understand the princess's kindness, but our Yang family is

I absolutely cannot agree to it.”

The eldest wife was originally thinking that since Ye Yichen was in the prime of life and Yu Lan was from such a background, even marrying as a concubine would not be an option. However, the fifth wife said so, and she could not refute the fifth wife's remarks.

I can talk to the fifth wife.

The second wife was the first to speak: "The fifth brother and sister are right. The old man has been proud all his life, and the granddaughter of the Yang family can never be a concubine!"

What else can the eldest lady say? She can only object in words!

Princess Qingjiang watched from the sidelines. She could tell whether the ladies were sincerely doing good for Yulan. She couldn't help but be slightly surprised. What tricks and skills did Yulan have to make all three elders in the house sincere?

Think for her sincerely and speak for her.

The princess then called out to Tianqu: "The ladies have misunderstood me! How could I let Miss Qi, a talented person like her, be a concubine for others? What I mean is, if you agree, tell Yulan to

Sixteenth brother, be the princess! She is the princess!" She deliberately emphasized the word "zhengfei".

ah?

The eldest wife could hardly believe her ears, and the second wife and the fifth wife also looked at the princess in surprise.

The eldest lady was really shocked. Now in the entire capital, apart from the prince, the most noble one is Ye Yichen. Although she is only a stepmother, she is also a serious and concubine with a title. All the noble daughters in the capital are

It almost breaks my head, how could such a good thing happen to Yu Lan?

If the old man was still the first assistant, and if Yulan was the legitimate daughter, there would still be a slight chance of this happening. But now, the eldest lady is simply confused.
