75 Sigh
Ye Minchun was sitting in front of the desk, with his back as straight as a green pine or cypress, and his thick black hair held up high by a golden crown. He was writing something on a piece of fine rice paper. Next to him was an open imperial palace newspaper.
The gray lake pen is held in the palm of his hand, forming a sharp contrast with his slender and graceful hands.
As elegant and gentle as ever!
Seeing Yinyue coming in, Ye Minchun raised his eyes and smiled. That gentle smile lit up the whole room. He kept writing and said gently: "You are here. Is everything going well in my grandma's house?"
Yinyue sat next to her brother, flipped through the thick stack of memorial documents on the table, took a hand stove and put it in her arms, looking at her brother with a strange expression. Ye Minchun smiled and said: "
What happened to my sister today?"
He is always so elegant and elegant, and it seems that even if the sky falls, he will not panic. Yinyue looked into his eyes and said: "Brother, do you know that a lot of things happened in my grandfather's house!"
Ye Minchun smiled: "The emperor pointed out the eighth cousin to the prince. Who in the capital knows this? My predecessor has already met my grandfather and several uncles."
Yinyue said: "Then you haven't met the eighth cousin and the seventh cousin? Don't you like the seventh cousin very much?"
Ye Minchun frowned and said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. My seventh cousin is an unmarried girl. Don't let the news spread and ruin her reputation!"
The corners of Yinyue's mouth turned up: "Brother, don't try to bluff me. When I came back from my grandfather's house, you didn't drag me to ask questions. Don't think I don't know which one you are thinking about? If you were interested in Cousin Yulan,
If you don’t have any ideas, why would you just give her the Western model that you love so much?”
Ye Minchun's expression flashed unnaturally, but he returned to normal in an instant. He said calmly: "She is our cousin, and she helped me such a big favor, so I will give her a model as a thank you gift, but
This is a normal human relationship, sister, don’t think too far!”
Yinyue shook her head repeatedly: "You men! You are so stubborn! You have to calculate everything every day, even your own marriage. In addition to their family background and the power behind them, the young ladies that my mother has shown you love in the past few years...
, have you ever thought about,
Have you really liked them? This time I came to see my brother, and I just want to tell you one thing: Cousin Yulan is discussing marriage with the eldest son of Mr. Xie, the young minister of Dali Temple. If you don’t make any other move, she will soon
I’m going to become someone else’s wife!”
After saying that, Yinyue stood up and left Ye Minchun's study with a gust of wind. Bang! A large drop of ink dripped on the white rice paper, slowly getting wet and spreading, but Ye Minchun seemed unaware.
A handsome-looking boy came in from the door. He gently took away the ink-stained rice paper and called softly: "Second Master, Second Master..."
Ye Minchun reacted and gently put down the Hu pen in his hand. He only felt a dull pain in a certain part of his body. The boy's name was Sui Feng. He grew up with him and was his confidant. Ye Minchun was there.
In front of him, I could no longer pretend and closed my eyes in pain.
Sui Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability: "Since the second master likes the seventh girl, why don't you go and beg the prince and the princess! The surnamed Xie is just a fifth-rank Dali Temple young minister. Regardless of his status, appearance, talent, and learning, how can his son be the same as the second master?
How do you compare with me?"
Ye Minchun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it were so easy, I would have begged the princess a long time ago! My mother would never agree to my marriage to the Yang family. What's more, with my cousin's background, how could my mother agree?
"
Suifeng said: "But no matter what, you have to give it a try so you won't regret it!"
Ye Minchun murmured: "Yeah, you have to give it a try or you won't regret it!" After saying that, he jumped up and hurried towards the small Buddhist hall where Princess Yanqing usually worships Buddha.
"Second Master! Second Master!" Suifeng was stunned at that time. Ye Minchun has been fond of feathers since he was a child, he is calm and collected, and has a measured advance and retreat. It has been almost ten years since Suifeng has seen him running around the house without caring about his grace.
.
"The Second Master is here!" The few girls and women who were guarding the door of the Buddhist hall just said this and before they had time to salute, Ye Minchun had already rushed in. Princess Yanqing was kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddhist niche and worshiped the Buddha devoutly, when Ye Minchun suddenly
He rushed in and knelt down in front of her with a "pop" sound.
"Mother, my child has something to tell you!"
Princess Yanqing was already shocked. She had high hopes for Ye Minchun. Her son was also well-educated in both civil and military affairs and was thorough in everything he did. She never let herself worry too much. When she saw him running around with his hair disheveled and panting today, she thought something big happened outside.
Princess Yanqing was also a meticulous person. She first waved away the accompanying maid and woman, then stood up and reached out for Ye Minchun: "My son, what exactly happened? Please tell me slowly, mother."
It’s up to you!”
Ye Minchun refused to get up. He raised his head and looked deeply at his mother with a pair of deep eyes: "Mother, I want to ask my mother to propose marriage to my grandfather's house. I want to marry my seventh cousin!"
Princess Yanqing's body stiffened, and her outstretched hand paused. She slowly sat down on the brocade stool next to her: "Chun'er, you have been ambitious since you were young, do you still remember what your wish is?"
Ye Minchun shouted: "Mother!"
"Assist the Holy Master to become a wise king. How many times have you forgotten what you said to your mother? When you were a child, you often saw your father hiding his talents and biding his time. He had no talent but no way to serve the country. You said you would never be the next father.
!You are determined to do something great in your lifetime and drive away the Hulu.
Returning to Mobei, returning Shu Han to the country, and leaving a name in history, have you forgotten all this?" Princess Yanqing spoke quickly, but her voice was cold, and every word was like a sword. "Because of me, your father has faded away.
After being in power for many years, do you still want to be your next father? Chun'er!"
Ye Minchun lowered his head and lowered his voice: "Maybe the prince is not the kind of jealous person!"
Princess Yanqing's voice softened: "Since ancient times, the Tian family has been ruthless. You have read many poems and books and you understand these principles better than I, a woman who is a woman. Don't you know what kind of temper the prince is? In fact, I have long discovered that you have such a crush on Yu Lan.
The child looked at you differently, but I just watched from the sidelines and didn't point it out. I just waited for you to figure it out, and then slowly let go of the matter. But why are you so confused today!"
Ye Minchun whispered: "My child heard that the seventh cousin is discussing marriage with the young master of the Xie family of the Dali Temple Shaoqing!"
Princess Yanqing reached out and touched his head: "That child is indeed good, but first, she is the daughter of the Yang family, and second, she has such a biological mother. I will never let you marry such a person under any circumstances.
Children who are criticized by their colleagues every day have been the Tomb of Heroes in Wenwen Township since ancient times. There may not be many others in this world, but there are thousands of beautiful women. Why ruin your future for her!"
Ye Minchun begged: "Mother!" His voice was choked with sobs.
Princess Yanqing said categorically: "I will not agree to this matter, and it's useless for you to beg!" She waved her hand tiredly and said: "I'm tired too, go down and think about what I say!"
The engagement ceremony between Yu Xin and the prince, who was selected by the Qin Tian Jian, was scheduled for five days. The time seemed very rushed because after the engagement ceremony, there would be a banquet at the Yang family, and the entire Yang family was extremely busy with this matter.
On that day, the Minister of Internal Affairs led many deacons to carry the ceremonial coins given to the Yang family by the emperor to the Yang family. The prince's marriage was of course the highest standard. The emperor's reward filled a whole street in front of the Yang family.
They were all blocked up, and all the people in the city came out to watch and comment with envious eyes and whisper.
The eldest master wore court clothes and greeted him outside the gate. He directed everyone to display the ceremonial coins in the main hall, the gift coins on the steps, and the royal gifts of horses on the middle path in front of the steps in accordance with the regulations. After the arrangements were made, the eldest master personally led his disciples to
Under the middle steps, look east to the palace and kneel three times and kowtow nine times. The eldest wife leads her family in the inner house and go west under the middle steps, kneel six times, kneel down three times and kowtow three times.
As usual, the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared fifty tables of banquets, thirty-six sheep, fifty tables of pastries, and fifty bottles of rice wine to the Yang family for a banquet to celebrate. All the princes and princes who were not on duty, officials of second rank and above, and wives gathered at the Yang family to attend
At the banquet, Honglu Temple sent officials to lead the ceremony, and Qintian Supervisor sent officials to tell the time.
The eldest lady dressed up in gorgeous clothes early in the morning and ushered all the officials and their families into the inner courtyard. She was almost exhausted in the past two days, but the eldest lady was extremely energetic. On this occasion, not only were all the girls pulled out to greet the guests,
Even the old lady has no time to spare.
Yuxin may have figured it out in the past two days, so today she let her eldest wife dress up carefully, and went out to entertain the ladies. Although her face was still a little pale, she finally had a smile on her face.
The wife was naturally very happy to see him.
Everyone surrounded the princess and praised her for a long time, until she was praised as a fairy from heaven and descended to earth. The veiled flattery came in waves, and the eldest lady blushed when she heard some flattering words. Yu Xin
She didn't react at all, she smiled mechanically, others just thought she was going to be a princess and was acting reserved here.
The old man and his three sons accompanied the male guests to a banquet in the outer hall. The banquet started at ten o'clock at noon. Ye Minchun also attended and sat next to the prince. The prince was wearing apricot yellow court clothes today, and he was in high spirits during a happy event. Although he was not as good as Ye Minchun
The difference is more than a hundred thousand miles, but I feel a little more energetic today than in the past.
Seeing Ye Minchun's lack of energy, the prince asked with concern: "Brother Chun, didn't you sleep well? Many government affairs are pressing on you, so you should pay attention to your health!"
Ye Minchun gave a bitter smile, looked in the direction of the inner house, and said: "My brother is fine! Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Next, the glasses were changed, and everyone toasted to the prince and the old man. The prince seemed very happy. During the dinner, he deliberately tried to win over many officials, but he also seemed gentle, generous and polite. After going back and forth like this, Ye Minshu drank a lot of wine.
, after he was told a crime, there would be servants waiting to go and clean his hands.
Then a boy led the prince to the depths of the Yang Mansion. After passing through a hanging flower gate, he seemed to have entered a garden. He turned east and west and became more and more remote. A guard who was protecting the prince was a little suspicious.
He grabbed the boy by the collar and asked in a deep voice: "Why is the clean room so far away? When can we get there?"
The boy was trembling with fright and said: "We'll be there when we get there. Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me!" He had also accepted someone's arrangement, but now he was a little scared.
The prince smiled and said: "Let him go, there will be assassins in the chief minister's mansion!"
The boy walked faster as if he had received an amnesty. He finally arrived at the clean room. The prince came out after finishing his convenience, and the boy took them back again. Several people walked back along a path, and suddenly a man rushed out from behind a rockery.
The woman was making love to the prince. The woman let out an ouch and leaned her entire soft body into the prince's arms.
The woman raised her head, and the prince saw that she had an oval face, like a hibiscus, with a pair of charming and long phoenix eyes, and a slight smile that was very charming. The prince was not a gentleman to begin with, but when he saw this woman's face was extremely beautiful, not only
Chapter completed!
