Yide was speechless for a while. The Queen Mother did this very badly. Wasn't she trying to make things difficult for Jinxuan
Jinxuan can be spoon-fed by anyone, but Liuli can't be spoon-fed by anyone. She is the second sister-in-law, the second young mistress of the Hou Mansion, and the future mistress of the Hou Mansion. Aren't you taking the opportunity to offend Jin Xuan? Finally, everyone stopped talking about Liuli's rejection of marriage by Chunyu. With such a commotion, outsiders couldn't say that Liuli was taking revenge.
"What did Chunyu say?" Yide asked.
Xia Youshi said: "What else can he say? He said that if Jinxuan is in charge of the spoon, he will serve the dishes. You know who he is, and he can tell the truth. And Chunfeng, he is the second brother who respects him the most. Now, he is so angry that he refuses to get married to me and wants to become a monk. You see, the Hou family is in a state of chaos."
"Yide, you have to help me come up with an idea, or ask the ancestors what they want?" Xia You asked.
Yide said hurriedly: "I don't dare to tell my ancestors that she really cares about Jinxuan as her granddaughter. If she finds out, she will dare to enter the palace and argue with the Queen Mother."
Xia Youshi smiled heartily, Yide was the most nervous about the old princess. It seemed that the medicine was right.
Sure enough, Yide said: "Don't worry, I will go to the palace tomorrow to persuade the Queen Mother."
At this time, Xia Chunfeng and Xiao Jing were drinking in the sky.
"What are you doing? Asking me to come out and drink with you?" Xiao Jing held down the wine glass and prevented Chunfeng from pouring any more wine.
Xia Chunfeng: "Xiaojing, don't stop me, I'm very upset."
"For the marriage?" Xiao Jing guessed, but wasn't it nice to see him a while ago? He thought Chunfeng had already figured it out.
Xia Chunfeng said: "Xiao Jing, what do you think of me escaping from Jinling?"
Xiao Jing was startled: "No, if you run away, what will happen to your family? If you run away from marriage, can the Queen Mother spare your family?"
Xia Chunfeng sighed sadly: "This day is really boring."
Xiao Jingxin said, I'm not interested. The person I like has become someone else's woman. You haven't been touched at all. I don't know how uncomfortable it is.
"You have to live with it if you don't have the energy. Once Liuli has passed the door, you can train her properly. In fact, Liuli just has a bad temper and is spoiled, but her mind is not bad." Xiao Jing advised him.
Xia Chunfeng put down his hand: "What do you know? She is not evil-minded. I think she is not only evil-minded, but also full of evil-mindedness."
Xiaojing couldn't stop him, so he drank a drink with him, filled it up for himself, and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?"
Xia Chunfeng drank it all in one gulp and said with a sneer: "She asked my second sister-in-law to serve the spoon on the day of the wedding banquet."
"What?" Xiao Jing shouted excitedly.
"This is too much. Fortunately she could think of it. What did Yaoyao say? Did you agree?"
Xia Chunfeng frowned: "Second sister-in-law, she agreed. My brother didn't agree, my mother didn't agree, and I didn't agree either."
Xiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Brother Chunyu didn't agree, otherwise he would have fought with him. The younger brother vents his anger on his sister's behalf, which is justifiable.
"Hey, it's really boring. Li Yao is gone, and the food and drinks in Tianshangju have changed. I think back then, you, me, Qixuan and Li Yao all drank together and went to the lake together. It was great, but not so much. I have nothing to worry about, but I can be carefree all day long..." Xia Chunfeng felt sad.
Xiao Jing sighed in his heart, isn't it? At that time, he secretly liked Yaoyao, his whole heart was devoted to her, and he tried every means to make her happy. Even if she scolded her a few times, he would feel happy. They traveled from Jinan to Jinling together to celebrate the longevity of their ancestors. Yan worked hard to bring Qixuan and Susu together. It was a really happy time, but it was too short-lived.
Xiao Jing also drank one glass after another. Xia Chunfeng was stunned and snatched the wine glass from his hand: "Hey, you came out to drink with me, why did you drink it?"
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said: "It's boring for you to be alone. Come on, let's drink together..."
Early the next morning, Yide went into the palace.
The Queen Mother had just woken up and was not in very good spirits. Perhaps it was because Liuli was getting married, and she was a little sentimental. After all, she was the one who brought her up.
"Why are you here so early today?" the Queen Mother said lazily.
Yide said with a smile: "I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a few days. I miss her so much!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "You are the only one who knows how to talk."
Yide said: "Liu Li's wedding is coming soon, do you need my help?"
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes, her eyes slightly blank, and was stunned for a while, then said: "There is nothing we can do to help. The Jing'an Marquis Mansion is almost ready. The Queen is in charge of the palace. When the time comes, Liu Li Feng will be married to her in all her glory."
Yide smiled: "I heard that the wedding banquet was organized by Ye Jinxuan, so I felt relieved. She is very good at preparing banquets. There is no one more suitable than her."
The Queen Mother sneered: "I can't help but take care of it, but I can't help but take charge!"
Yide pretended to be surprised: "Did she propose it herself?"
"Is she so generous? This is the decree of the Ai family." The Queen Mother said slowly.
"Queen Mother, I think this is inappropriate," Yide said.
The Queen Mother laughed: "What's wrong?"
Yide said: "Queen Mother, think about it, a lot of people know about Chunyu's refusal to marry. Originally, this matter has been over. In this case, people may say that Liuli is holding a grudge and deliberately making things difficult for Ye Jinxuan! Don't you think so? I will think that this is what the Queen Mother means, and I will only think that it is what Liuli means."
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed.
"This is not good for Liuli's reputation. After all, Ye Jinxuan is now the second young mistress of the Hou Mansion. Even if Ye Jinxuan takes the initiative to make this request, you can't agree for Liuli's sake. Moreover, Chunyu can risk his life for Ye Jinxuan, and he is willing to let it go. Jinxuan is wronged? If you let Jinxuan take charge of the dishes, then Chunyu will dare to carry the plate and serve the food. Queen Mother, I am not being alarmist. I have watched Chunyu that child since I was a child. Whatever his temper and personality, your son I know very well..."
The Queen Mother's expression became serious.
"My son knew that the Queen Mother felt sorry for Liuli, and wanted to take the opportunity to punish Chunyu and his wife because of Liuli's injustice. However, this method was really inappropriate. Since Liuli decided to marry Chunfeng, a woman must obey her husband when she gets married, even if she is a noble woman, she must abide by the rules. Husband and wife respect and love each other, so that they can live a long and happy life. If they put on such a hostile attitude as soon as they leave, what will the people in Jing'an Marquis Mansion think? What will outsiders think?" Yide said euphemistically.
"More importantly, what would Chunfeng think? Does he think Liuli still misses Chunyu in his heart? Men are most taboo about this. If they have this knot in their hearts, will they be able to do well in the future? Can their hearts be together? go?"
"Queen Mother, it's better to take back your life!"
The Queen Mother sighed quietly and glanced at Yide: "Isn't it the Xia family who asked you to be a lobbyist?"
Yide laughed: "Queen Mother, you are too worried. I haven't seen anyone from the Xia family for a few days. Chunyu used to come here often, but after Xuan'er went to war, he didn't come either."
The Queen Mother nodded and said slowly: "What you said makes sense. The Ai family has not considered this matter."
She was the one to take the blame, and no one in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion knew it was Liuli's suggestion.
"Please, please do some errands and just say, forget it," the Queen Mother said.
Yide secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these words were not wasted. If the Queen Mother insists on having her own way, this matter will definitely cause a big problem.
"Okay, after I leave the palace, I will stop by the Marquis's Mansion in Jing'an and see the Xia You family. I heard that the Marquis' Mansion is being expanded and they are preparing a place for Liuli. The Xia You family has put a lot of effort into it! My son, let's go and have a look. Look, what has happened, come back and report to the Queen Mother when the time comes." Yide said with a slight smile.
Today Zhong Xiang's success rate in making cakes was 100%. Ye Jiayao was very satisfied. She made five cakes in total. Ye Jiayao left three cakes for Zhong Xiang to practice decorating. She framed two herself and sent one to Zhao Qixuan's house for Mrs. Yong'an Hou. Zhao Qixuan's mother was also a foodie, and she was very happy to get one of the cakes. There was also another cake that she personally delivered to Prince Helian's Mansion.
When they arrived at Prince Helian's Mansion, Princess Yide was not there, and Xiao Jing was working as an errand in the Ministry of War. I heard that Xiao Jing had performed very well recently. This child was smart, and as long as he was willing to work hard, nothing could stump him.
Ye Jiayao chatted with her ancestor for a long time before getting up and leaving.
When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I found out that the eldest princess Yide had come to the Hou Mansion. The servants said that the lady was accompanying the eldest princess to see the expanded courtyard. Ye Jiayao hurried to the east side courtyard.
Seeing Xia You and the eldest princess talking and laughing from a distance, Ye Jiayao went up to say hello.
"Jinxuan, you came at the right time. You also come to consult with me and see what can be improved." Yide said.
Ye Jiayao said in her heart that the renovation of this courtyard was personally arranged by Xia You. If it's good, it's okay, or if it's not, she has to say yes. Anyway, she doesn't live there. She looked around and smiled: "It's much more open than before. The decoration is exquisite enough and the environment is elegant. I really like it.”
Yide smiled and said: "If you like it, I will let you live here in the future."
Ye Jiayao knew that the eldest princess meant what she said, so she said tactfully: "It doesn't matter where we live. The whole family lives in harmony, and even if we live in a thatched hut, we are still happy. I think the yard I live in now is very good."
Yide clicked his tongue and said to Xia Youshi: "Listen, listen, this mouth makes people feel comfortable when they speak."
Xia You smiled faintly and was quite satisfied with Ye Jiayao's answer. The more she got in touch with her, the more she felt that this daughter-in-law had many advantages.
"Yide, what do you think needs improvement?" Xia You asked.
Yide thought for a while: "I can't tell."
"Mom, why not set up a flower stand in the corner, plant purple wisteria, and put on a swing." Ye Jiayao suggested.
Yide said: "Oh, this is a good idea. Liuli is still a child at heart. She likes swings the most. She had one in her head in the palace. She likes to swing on the swings when she has nothing to do."
Ye Jiayao saw the swing in Liuli Palace last time, so she said this.
Xia Youshi glanced at Ye Jiayao and said to Sun's mother behind her: "Tell Butler Zhong to set up a flower stand and a swing here."
