The eldest wife got up early the next day and hurried to Cining Palace. She stayed in the palace for two hours and returned to the Yang Mansion before noon. When she came back, her face was covered with dark clouds and she had not eaten.

He first went into the inner room to talk secretly with the eighth girl. The girl who was standing outside could only vaguely hear the sound of the eldest lady smashing things inside and Yu Xin's high-pitched roar.

After a while, the eldest lady came out with a livid face and told the girl to keep an eye on Yuxin and not allow her to wander around. She didn't even ask for food to be delivered.

Yulan had just had breakfast. It had been cold in recent days. In addition, the girls from the Yang family were preparing for marriage and the draft. There were only three or two big cats and kittens left. The eldest wife simply gave her husband a holiday.

School was temporarily suspended. Yulan didn't have to go to school, so she leaned on the kang, holding a small white jade stove in her arms, picked up a roll of food journals, and started reading.

In fact, she wanted to take a look at the dozens of memorials and newspapers in the Songfeng Bookstore, but in this era, "it is a virtue for women not to have talent", and she already seemed a little different, and she was still the same as Guang.

Dust it.

Within half an hour, Xiaoyue lifted the curtain and entered the room with a breath of air-conditioning. As soon as she entered the door, she said: "The eighth girl has been grounded by the madam! She didn't even give her breakfast!"

Yulan's heart skipped a beat. The eldest lady had been in the palace once and came back acting like this. I'm afraid the marriage between the eighth girl and Zhao Wang Ye Minyu... is a bit uncertain!

I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever. Women in this era have to go through many difficulties and obstacles if they want to realize this dream!

Yulan felt a feeling of stuffiness in her heart. She dropped the thick book in her hand and said to Xiaoyue: "The room is a bit stuffy. Help me go out for a walk!"

After changing into cotton clothes and putting on a magenta velvet cloak, Yulan had just walked out of the house when a maid ran in in a panic: "Miss Qi, there is an imperial edict coming from the front. Madam, please pack up and go to the main courtyard to receive the edict.

Here!" Yulan was surprised. This was the first time she had received an order in ancient times.

After returning to the room, another order was issued. If you are not married, there will be no title, and there will be no court clothes for the married woman. Yulan felt that she was dressed formally enough, so she hurried to Yiningju with Xiaoyue.

In the main courtyard, the fifth master was wearing official uniform and chatting with an official. Looking at the patchwork on the official uniform, he should be an official from the third rank. He was half a rank higher than the fifth master. Old lady, first lady, second wife

, the fifth lady was all waiting there with her makeup on. Several girls also came. Standing behind the ladies, the eighth girl looked confused and very uneasy.

After a while, the eldest master and the second master also hurriedly arrived in official uniforms. Apparently they had just returned from the Yamen after receiving the news. Everyone exchanged a few words, and Yulan heard that the eldest master and the second master all called him to praise the minister.

My heart moved. I understood the origin of this decree. It was an imperial decree referring to marriage.

Feudal society was very hierarchical, and princes had to follow strict steps to get married. Before the wedding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to conduct Wenqin Tianjian to select an auspicious date for the wedding!

Why so fast?

The official chatted for a while and saw that everyone had arrived, so he smiled and said: "Three Masters Yang, since we are almost here, let's read out the imperial edict!"

The eldest man said: "Then I'll help you!" After saying that, he lifted his robe and knelt facing north. Everyone in the Yang family also knelt on the bluestone in the courtyard with the eldest man. The minister of praise stood facing the west.

, opened the colorful woven white cloud and crane pattern and read out the imperial edict: "It is decreed that the eighth daughter of the Yang family will be married to the crown prince Ye Minshu as the concubine."

Yuxin only felt a thunderbolt explode above her head. Her body went limp and almost fell to the ground. Yulan knelt beside her and immediately supported Yuxin calmly. She only felt Yuxin's

His little hands were so cold that there was no warmth at all.

Yu Lan was also filled with sadness, as expected, she was right. The Queen Mother was afraid that as soon as her illness improved, she would send ministers to declare the decree. As for what she said in the Tiren Palace, who would dare to do it now that it was a fait accompli?

Just mention it again? I just feel sorry for Yuxin, and she still wants to marry King Zhao and be his princess!

The eldest master has already accepted the order. "Congratulations to Mr. Yang, congratulations to Mr. Yang, a crown princess has been born in the house! This is a great happy event!" The minister of praise finished his errands, relaxed, and immediately expressed joy with a spring breeze on his face.

My wife was also full of joy. When I arrived at Cining Palace today, the Queen Mother had already woken up, but she was in a very bad state. When the eldest lady heard what happened during the draft in the Tiren Palace yesterday, she jumped up in shock. The Queen Mother told her to keep an eye on her.

Yu Xin, the eldest lady did not expect that her aunt was so decisive and directly sent the Minister of Praise to the Yang Mansion to read out the imperial edict of marriage.

There was another thing she didn't know. There was more than one minister who praised her, and another minister was sent to the Xiao family to point out Miss Xiao Yunqian to King Zhao Ye Minyu.

Everyone is happy! Except for the parties involved, Yu Xin and Ye Minyu.

At this time, the eldest master had already opened the ancestral hall and was preparing to enshrine the imperial edict. Yulan helped Yuxin stand up slowly. She was already a little weak after a hungry meal. At this time, her fair and clean face no longer had any traces of blood.

A trace of blood. Without Yulan's support, she didn't even know if she had the ability to stand up. Happiness was once so close to her, but in the blink of an eye, God cruelly shattered her dream.

She suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! Sir, I have something to say!"

The Yang family was all overjoyed after receiving the imperial edict. Except for Yuxia, whose face was a little ugly, everyone else was full of excitement. After all, there was a princess, and everyone was honored. After hearing Yuxin's words, everyone turned their eyes away in shock.

arrived on her body.

The Minister of Praise naturally knew that this was Miss Yang Ba, who was about to become the Crown Princess. Seeing that although she was still young, her color was really outstanding, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly. He bowed slightly and said, "What do you want me to do, Miss?"

Yuxin gave up and threw everything behind her: "I want to take a look at that imperial edict. I don't believe it is true! In Tiren Hall, it is obvious..." Everyone in the Yang family, old and young, suddenly changed their expressions.

Questioning the emperor's decree is a serious crime of confiscating one's family and destroying one's family!

Yulan stood beside her, watching as she said one more thing, even Zhao Wang Ye Minyu had to say it. It could be said that it was a minor thing to question the imperial edict. If she was exposed again and Ye Minyu had an affair, then the eighth girl would really

If she doesn't live, she will be drowned by spittle and stars. All the sisters in the Yang family will suffer the same fate as her.

Yu Lan stretched out his hand and covered Yu Xin's mouth. "Sir, the eighth sister is very emotional and speaks indiscriminately. Don't take offense!" Yu Xin bit Yu Lan's hand hard as if she was crazy.

He actually bit her hand to pieces, and his mouth was immediately filled with the smell of blood. Yulan ignored the pain and only said: "Eighth sister made a mistake for a moment, and she never meant to blaspheme the holy will. Don't blame me!"

The eldest lady also came to her senses at this time, and said to the bewildered maids and servants in the distance: "Are they all dead? Please help the eighth girl back quickly!" Two little girls came up to help Yuxin, Yulan

She didn't dare to let go until she entered the room. She only felt that her hands were wet, with blood from the bitten place and wet liquid. She knew that those were the tears of her eighth sister.

At that moment, Yu Lan was heartbroken.

The minister of praise outside was a man. He originally thought that by taking this job, he would please both the prince and the Yang family. The Yang family would never let him return empty-handed with such a happy event, but who knew that he would witness such a scene?

, there are still people in the world who are unwilling to marry the prince and become the princess? He has never seen such a girl in his forty years of life. But he knows that the more other people's secrets are known, the more dangerous it is, especially this matter.

After getting involved with the prince, this veteran official immediately backed down. "It's getting late. Since the decree has been read out, I will take my leave now!"

The eldest master originally wanted to host a banquet in honor of the minister of praise, but it was obviously inappropriate for such an incident, so he personally sent the minister of praise out of the palace. When the minister of praise came to the carriage, the eldest master slipped a piece of paper into the carriage without anyone noticing.

The banknote was given to him. The Minister of Praise glanced at the amount on the banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve. His face immediately became brighter.

The elder said: "My little girl is ignorant and bumped into my lord. Your lord has a lot of money. Don't blame me!"

The minister of praise is also a wise man, and he hurriedly said: "My daughter is gentle and gentle in nature, and she is skillful in etiquette. She deserves to be selected as the crown princess. As for the others, I am dazzled and deaf. I saw nothing and heard nothing."

!”

The two men looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

The eldest man saw off the minister of praise, and returned to the main courtyard with a gloomy face. When he entered the back room, he saw the eldest lady sitting on her head angrily. Yulan was standing on the ground, and a little maid was carefully giving her gauze.

The wound was bandaged. Yuxin looked numb and sat on the kang without saying a word.

Seeing the eldest man coming in, Yulan quickly gathered her clothes and saluted, calling her father. In any case, Yulan had made a great contribution just now. If she hadn't covered Yuxin's mouth in time, she wouldn't have known what earth-shattering words this girl would have said. Da

The master nodded to her gently.

The eldest wife waited on the eldest man and sat down next to the kang. The eldest man glanced at Yulan and said, "You have nothing to do here. You can go down first!" Yulan's ability to observe people's emotions is so good. He should have left long ago.

, but she was really worried about Yuxin, so she bit the bullet and stayed a little longer. Now she had to leave even if she didn't want to.

Yulan saluted and left Yiningju. Before leaving, he glanced at Yuxin quietly: Eighth sister, please wish yourself well!

Yulan walked out of the main room, and there were only three people left in the house: the eldest man, his wife, and Yu Xin. The little girl had already cleverly closed the door. The eldest man stood up, stepped forward and gave Yu Xin a slap in the face: "

I'll beat you to death for being unfilial and rebellious!" He didn't like the arrogant and unruly Yuxin to begin with. Originally, Yuxin was about to marry into the East Palace, and her status value would greatly increase. The eldest master was prepared to have a good relationship with her, but

She suddenly caused such an incident, which almost implicated the entire family. The eldest man immediately acted like a feudal patriarch.

Yuxin covered her face and raised her head, looking at her father stubbornly.

But the eldest lady felt sorry for her daughter. She stood up and stood in front of Yu Xin: "Master, what are you doing? Xin'er is still your daughter no matter what, how could you do such a thing!"

The eldest man glared at the eldest wife fiercely: "Do you know that if these words are spread today, our whole family will be beheaded?"

The eldest lady took a breath, she didn't know this. She turned around and persuaded her earnestly: "The prince is the crown prince of a country, and will be the emperor of Chu in the future. If you marry the prince, you will be the crown prince, and it won't be long before you will be the queen. This is ridiculous.

No matter how many people ask for wealth and honor, they can't get it! The prince is not ten times better than King Zhao, why do you...hey!" After listening to the Queen Mother's story, the eldest lady thought that Yu Xin had met King Zhao in Cining Garden that day.

Afterwards, I immediately understood all the unreasonable behaviors. When I came back, I confronted Yuxin. Yuxin was a person who couldn't hide her thoughts. She poured beans through a bamboo tube and spit out everything.

Yuxin's eyes were red and she screamed: "I will not marry that bullshit prince, I will marry whoever wants to marry him!"

The elder was confused: "What? Why does this matter involve King Zhao again! What else are you hiding, you evildoer!"

When the eldest lady told what had happened, the eldest man became furious and said, "You shameless thing! Marriage is always ordered by your parents. You, you, you... do you want to make a private life decision regardless of etiquette and law? I belong to the Yang family.

When did I raise a fool like you who corrupts the family tradition!"

The elder scolded Yuxin, but Yuxin just sat there coldly, saying nothing. Seeing that this was not the solution, the elder lady stopped the elder and said softly to Yuxin: "No matter what, now

The imperial edict of the marriage has been issued. Even if the marriage is finalized, no one can change it. If you don't want to, you have to think about the Yang family, so just prepare for the marriage at home and forget about King Zhao.

Come on!"

The eldest man thought of something at this time and his expression changed: "Don't let the prince know anything about today's events!" The eldest lady also realized that if the prince knew about this matter, how could Yu Xin be good in the future?

As the days passed, I remembered that the mother and daughter in Hexiang Pavilion had been eyeing the main courtyard. The eldest lady couldn't sit still. When she left the room, she summoned the ladies and maids to give instructions. She also asked people to guard the door and kept a close eye on Aunt Liu.

When people pay more attention, they can relax their worries a little bit.

After returning to the house, he broke it apart and crushed it again, and tried to persuade Yuxin. Yuxin looked dull and had no intention of turning around. After a while, the old lady sent someone to summon her again, so the eldest man and the eldest lady had to go to the Song Dynasty first.
