175 happy new year(1/2)
Ye Yichen usually went to the palace by horseback, but this time because he was newlywed, he rode with Yulan in a car. The frame of the carriage that the prince rode also had regulations, and the car was given by the emperor and was called the Babao Huagai Car.
The decoration inside the car was extremely gorgeous and luxurious. Ye Yichen and his young wife were sitting together. The carriage moved forward steadily, and their shoulders touched each other from time to time.
There was no servant waiting in the car. Yulan had never been in such a big and luxurious car. She looked around curiously, while Ye Yichen kept staring at her face. Thinking of the charming scene last night, the smile on Ye Yichen's face became more and more intense.
It was so thick that Yulan's face felt feverish. She couldn't help but touch her own face: "Your Majesty, is my makeup stained?"
Ye Yichen said with a smile on his lips: "No!"
Without you, you still look at me like this?
In order to divert his attention, Yu Lan quickly picked up the teapot on the small table, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Ye Yichen: "Your Majesty, please use the tea!"
Ye Yichen took the teacup, and Yu Lan lowered his head and said, "I have only seen Concubine Hui in the palace, and I have never seen any other nobles. I don't know if there are any taboos. Please give me some time, Your Majesty."
Ye Yichen smiled and reassured: "This time I came in just to meet the queen, Concubine Xiao and Concubine Hui. Before you married me, they all gave me something. There is no need to meet the other lower-level concubines! The queen is very kind.
Easy-going, Concubine Xiao and Concubine Hui... Just follow me and there won't be any problems. If they reward you with anything, just take it!"
Yulan said: "Except for the concubine, are we going to see the emperor this time?"
Ye Yichen was obviously very satisfied with her title of "we". He played with the pastel teacup in his hand and said, "Of course I should go and pay a visit."
Yu Lan was inevitably a little nervous: "This is the first time I've met the Emperor." Ye Yichen smiled and held her hand: "Don't worry, the Emperor is not strict, he is just carrying a head on one shoulder. What's the matter?
So scary!" These words were a bit disrespectful. Yulan glanced at him in surprise. Thinking of what his grandfather had said to him before, could it be that the prince really had the intention to usurp the throne? Yulan felt nervous and wanted to
Don't you want to persuade him?
It's good like this now! Don't make any more trouble!
Yulan thought twice. After all, she had just gotten married, so it was a good time to bring up such a sensitive topic. It was still early, and Yulan thought of another question. In fact, she wanted to ask it last night, but the prince was preoccupied with it.
How could she find time for other things? It would still take some time to get to the palace, so Yulan couldn't help but ask: "My lord, how did you convince my grandfather to let him go and allow us to get married?"
of?"
The prince leaned lazily against the wall of the compartment, with a calm expression, as if he had remembered what happened that day, but he said in a mysterious way: "It's just the usual words, nothing special!"
Didn't say anything? Only a ghost will believe you. Yu Lan didn't say much. He just stared at Ye Yichen with a pair of dark eyes, looking like a curious baby. Ye Yichen looked at her for three seconds before being defeated and had to
Continuing the topic just now, he said: "The boss and I have been friends for a long time. We had different political opinions before, and I suffered a lot in his hands!"
Yulan nodded fiercely after hearing this: "Let's get to the point!" I know all these things. Didn't my grandfather take away your military power in the northwest? I will remember it for the rest of my life!
Ye Yichen smiled and shook his head, obviously there was nothing he could do about Yulan like this. He continued: "I know what his old man is thinking. He just thinks that I am a great master and rebellious. He is looking at the second generation of the Yang family.
I don’t have any outstanding talents, I just want to shrink completely and get out of this battle to win the heir!”
Yulan couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The old man said these words in front of her, but he would not tell Ye Yichen word for word. Ye Yichen could guess what the old man was thinking based on only clues, and he was very
God is so accurate, this ability to penetrate people's hearts is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Ye Yichen's voice deepened, and his slightly magnetic voice continued to echo in the carriage: "I told him at that time: If this marriage can come true, the Yang family will be my wife's family, even if the boss is no longer in his position,
I
I will also try my best to preserve the prosperity of the Yang family! But if this marriage fails and all the old and new grudges are settled, as long as this king comes to power, every one of the Yang family, I will make sure that they will no longer have any power in the court.
The place to stand!"
Yulan was simply dumbfounded: "You, aren't you just a naked threat?" There is no technical content at all, why did the old man give in?
Ye Yichen said in a serious voice: "I am not threatening the old lady, but just stating my determination to her! I must have a good reputation and always keep my word, so the old lady agreed after thinking about it!"
Yulan put herself in the old man's shoes and thought for a moment: if he agreed to Ye Yichen, he would most likely be involved in the whirlpool of seizing the heir, with unpredictable consequences; but if he rejected Ye Yichen, he would directly have to suffer his revenge. And with his current situation
Energy, it seems that... it is not too difficult to bring down the Yang family.
If he were an old man, I am afraid that for the benefit of the family, he would have no choice but to agree.
Looking at the prince's sharp profile, a touch of tenderness surged in Yulan's eyes.
Seeing such an expression, Ye Yichen's mood suddenly became very happy. He didn't like the Yang family very much, but since he agreed to the old man, he would try his best to fulfill his promise. Now he sees his little wife Xiaoniao.
Usually leaning next to him, he suddenly felt that his efforts were not worth mentioning.
Ye Yichen felt that the soft and boneless body next to him leaned towards him again, and the small hand holding his big hand tightened. He looked into Yulan's eyes and asked: "If you don't marry me this time,
What will happen to you?"
Yulan didn't expect that this cold-faced prince would ask such a hypothetical question. He blinked and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Of course I will find another young man to marry him. Is it possible that the prince will let the little girl commit suicide for you?"
?”
Ye Yichen's face instantly turned livid.
When we arrived at the Forbidden City, the emperor was still in the morning, so he went to Kunning Palace to pay homage to the queen.
This was the first time that Yulan saw this woman with the highest status in the world. She was only thirty-four or five years old, with a very ordinary appearance, and she did not have the majesty that dominates the world. Yulan was very disappointed.
, thrown into the crowd, just a passerby.
The queen was very polite to Ye Yichen, and she was also very polite to Yulan. As soon as Ye Yichen knelt down, she called the eunuch: "Hurry and help your sixteenth master up. Today you are bringing your bride to meet your sister-in-law. Let's just talk about
Family etiquette, not state etiquette." He asked someone to give him a seat, served him good tea, and praised Yulan from head to toe.
Yulan thanked the queen for the makeup gift, and then sat there respectfully, lowering her eyebrows and not daring to talk nonsense. Ye Yichen and the queen had nothing to say. They chatted for a few words and then left Kunning Palace. Before leaving, At that time, the queen rewarded Yu Lan with a few pieces of material sent by Jiangnan Weaving. Yulan received Ye Yichen's instructions and accepted them generously.
This is the first time Yulan has met Xiao Concubine of Chengqian Palace. Concubine Xiao is a very majestic and beautiful woman. She is well-maintained and looks like she is only in her twenties. Her style is much greater than that of the Queen. The time spent in the Qian Palace was even shorter. After a few words, a chamberlain came over to convey the message that the emperor had gone to court and asked Ye Yichen to bring his bride to see his majesty.
So he hurriedly said goodbye to Concubine Xiao and went to Qianqing Palace to see the emperor. According to the etiquette, the emperor would not meet his married woman, but Ye Yichen was different. He was the emperor's cousin, and Yulan was considered his sister-in-law. Meeting her once was considered as giving Ye Yichen a share. Decent.
When Yulan performed the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times in the Qianqing Palace, a gentle voice above his head rang: "Flat body, please give me a seat!" The little eunuch quietly walked into the hall, set up the brocade stools, Ye Yichen and Yu Lan then sat down. The emperor said: "Is this the bride? Raise your head and show me!"
Yulan then raised his head and looked at the emperor. Yulan quietly looked at the supreme king of the world, and saw that he had bags under his eyes, a sluggish look, and looked like he had been drinking too much. The dragon robe he wore on his body did not show much majesty. It's like a pearl casting a shadow on you, ruining your clothes.
The royal family is rich in handsome men, and the emperor was actually quite good-looking. Unfortunately, his plump face was ruined by the crisscrossing wrinkles and age spots on his face.
Yulan was surprised. The emperor was only forty years old, so how could he be so old?
The emperor glanced at her and said with a smile: "He is indeed a neat person, and he is worthy of his sixteenth brother! It's a pity that his background is a little lower."
In this palace, who's words didn't have twists and turns? If ordinary people said this, Yulan would just ignore it. There must be many people in the entire capital holding this view. But when the emperor said this, she had to think about it. The meaning is that if the emperor is not satisfied with this marriage, then he will not only be in trouble!
But what exactly was the emperor's stance against this? Yulan couldn't help but turn pale. If it weren't for the fear of losing etiquette in front of the palace, Yulan would have almost stood up.
At this time, a big hand stretched out, took her little hand in it, and squeezed it gently. Ye Yichen's hand was dry, steady, and strong, and Yulan calmed down immediately.
Ye Yichen said calmly: "Brother, what you said is wrong! I think that I, Emperor Taizu, is just a commoner with no prominent family background, but he has achieved great success! What's more, marrying a virtuous wife is said to be a virtuous husband. There is little misfortune, as long as she can support her husband and raise her children, manage the internal affairs of the palace, and breed bloodlines for her younger brothers, her family background is the second most important thing. Besides, my wife is the granddaughter of Yang Taibao, so her family education and etiquette are naturally good." A fist-fisting look. protective posture.
Yulan thought that Ye Yichen would defend her a few words, but she didn't expect that Ye Yichen would even dare to say such words as "Brother, the emperor's words are wrong."
What surprised Yu Lan even more was that the emperor didn't seem to hear the displeasure in Ye Yichen's tone, and still said gently: "What the sixteenth brother said is absolutely true. The granddaughter of Yang Taibao has a good character and good upbringing. It’s just that I worry too much.”
No wonder there are rumors that Prince Jin is domineering. Today, Yu Lan has experienced firsthand how domineering the prince is... and how to protect his shortcomings!
At this time, a eunuch behind the emperor spoke: "Your Majesty, Prince Jin has a sharp eye, so the woman he picked is naturally right."
This eunuch has a female-like appearance and a very feminine voice. Yu Lan knows without guessing that this is Chen Jia, the factory director of the West Factory who caused his grandfather to resign and created a turmoil in the DPRK. Today, he has seen all kinds of monsters and monsters. It’s just that
This man looked yin and gentle, with no murderous intent at all. No one expected that such a man could be the leader of a terrorist organization like Xichang.
I couldn't help but take another look.
Chen Jia paused for a moment and then said in passing: "It is said that a wife is honored by her husband. When the wife is placed on the royal jade plate, your Majesty will reward her with a title, and her status will naturally become noble."
No, how could this eunuch speak for him? Didn't he and his grandfather have a deep hatred? Yulan really couldn't understand it.
The emperor obeyed the advice of this confidant eunuch and nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense! Then sixteenth brother, hurry up and report it!" He then ordered Chen Jiadao: "Ask the Ministry of Rites to draw up some titles. I'll wait for the sixteenth brother's.
As soon as the memorial comes up, I will approve it and give it to the clan! This matter will be done soon!"
Of course the princess is going to be on the royal jade plate, but because Yulan is the step-mother, her dignity and dignity are far inferior to that of the prince's married wife. Normally, she should be granted the title of a second-grade wife, but she is called this one.
With a few words from the eunuch, not only did she have a first-class wife, but she was also given a title, which was unique among all the princesses.
Because Yulan is the stepwife, she is shorter than other princes' concubines, but in this way, Yulan can be superior to all the princes. What's more, Yulan's husband is the first among the princes.
Because of this, she, the princess, can walk sideways even in the royal family!
Yulan is just an ordinary little woman. She also has vanity. Of course she will not refuse such a huge good thing. Ye Yichen has already pulled her to kneel on the ground: "My brother, thank you for your kindness."
Yulan also said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He secretly looked at Ye Yichen, and saw that his face was calm, as if everything was being calculated. Yulan suddenly realized that the reason why the dead eunuch was willing to speak for him was because he was afraid that he would not accept it.
Let’s go to Ye Yichenli!
He really worked hard for himself!
After talking for about a stick of incense, Ye Yichen stood up and said goodbye. The emperor rewarded many more things. After hearing Ye Yichen's words, Yulan happily accepted them all.
After leaving Qianqing Palace, Ye Yichen said: "Let's go back to Jingyang Palace for a while. We have to recognize our relatives in the afternoon!"
Yu Lan smiled and said: "It all depends on the prince's arrangement!" Concubine Hui in Jingyang Palace took good care of her, so Jingyang Palace was a must.
The journey was easy, and they soon arrived at Jingyang Palace. When they reached the door, Concubine Hui had already brought a large group of palace maids and eunuchs to pick them out. Seeing the two of them arriving, Concubine Hui said with a spring-like face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Madam."
!”
After greeting each other, she took Ye Yichen and Yulan to the main hall. Concubine Hui took Yulan's hand and said, "I knew you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky to marry the prince.
Heroic figure. From now on you will be able to rely on me, and I am really happy for you! Now I think Sister Qi will be able to rest in peace even though she is under the Nine Springs!"
When Yulan heard her mention Aunt Qi, she couldn't help but feel sad.
To be continued...
