Wu Shi was taking a group of maids and women to Jingshui Xuan, Ye Lizhu's residence. Halfway there, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, Sun Shi, came over.
Sun said: "Madam, I just came back from the court. News came from the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin are coming to Ye Mansion, and Aunt Lan Xin from the Queen's Palace will also come. You should go and prepare to receive them. She must be the aunt in the Queen’s Palace.”
Others looked up to Ye Fu'an, but when Jiang was there, all the ladies in the capital and the nobles in the palace looked up to Jiang. The Wu family was from a low background and had a side room to support her, so naturally she could not enjoy the treatment that the Jiang family received. It was only during the holidays that I met the queen. It was the first time that the queen sent a female official from the palace over.
Wu held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and said with a smile: "I originally planned to go see the eldest lady, but the eldest lady came back yesterday and I haven't seen her face yet."
Sun said: "The eldest lady is a junior, so she will naturally go to greet you. The reception is important, so you go to receive Aunt Lanxin first."
Wu nodded and said to the two maids behind him: "You go to the eldest lady's place with snacks, and remember to take care of the eldest lady's body for me."
The two maids were blessed and carried the food boxes. When they arrived at Jingshui Xuan, they knocked on the courtyard door and a little girl poked her head out.
The two maids said: "Madam, let's see the eldest lady. Is the eldest lady here?"
The little girl said: "Miss has just had dinner and went for a walk in the garden to eat. Madam, what do you want to say?"
The two maids brought up the food boxes in their hands: "Madam asked us to send two snacks and ask about the lady's health."
The little girl took the two of them in, took the plates and packed the snacks, and asked the maid to leave with the food box.
The two maids carried the empty food boxes and said while walking on the road: "We haven't met the lady either. This one really doesn't give anyone face. The lady is the mistress of the family. She has offended her." Madam, what good life can I have before getting married?"
Another said: "I heard someone say that the young lady is in very poor health and will die before she gets married."
Grandma Chen and Ye Lizhu happened to walk to the corner and heard what these two maids said. Grandma Chen immediately became angry and wanted to rush over and scold the two maids.
Ye Lizhu frowned and grabbed Nanny Chen's sleeve: "Nanny Chen, forget it."
She turned around and walked to the opposite place: "I just returned to Ye Mansion. Ye Mansion was originally peaceful, but it was not good for my arrival to cause a disturbance."
Grandma Chen followed Ye Lizhu, and she said: "Miss, you are the rich lady and the master of this house. Two maids are chewing their tongues behind their backs. It would not be too much to cut their tongues. The master knows it, so he must I will also be on your side.”
Ye Lizhu said: "Father is already busy, and he is already too busy with the things in the court. Don't bother him to judge these small things. Who has never said bad things about people behind their backs? If you say something wrong, you can change it. If you have no tongue, They will never grow back. Mammy, let them go this time. If they hear them slandering the master again next time, they will be kicked out of the house directly."
Grandma Chen said: "Miss, you have followed Master Wuxin for too long. They are monks, and they must be telling you every day that monks are compassionate. But this is not the case in the capital, as you will know later. "
When Ye Lizhu was at Mingfo Temple, she always did things by herself. She was actually not used to having a group of people following her around her.
After sitting down in the flower hall, Ye Lizhu said: "You all go back and let me be alone for a while."
As soon as the people left, the surroundings instantly became much cooler.
Ye Lizhu knew in her heart that the girl just said was right. She was terminally ill and could no longer be cured. She died before she could marry.
She has insomnia and light dreams, is easily frightened, and can't take more than two steps without gasping for breath. Outsiders don't know, but she knows her physical condition best.
Ye Lizhu was sitting in the flower hall. She saw a swing not far away. She felt a little itchy and wanted to go sit on the swing and play.
Ye Lizhu stood up and walked over unsteadily.
...
Ti Xiao and Zhao Yun came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and of course Ye Fu'an came to receive them with a smile.
He knew in his heart that Ti Xiao most likely wanted Zhao Yun to marry his precious daughter. There were some things that Ye Fu'an wanted to make clear in advance.
As the crown prince and the crown prince of the country, Zhao Yun is a figure like a orchid and a jade tree. He is the favorite of the noble ladies in the capital. Although Ye Fu'an did not form cliques for personal gain and did not associate with the prince, he had to admit that the prince was indeed very good.
But the husband Ye Fu'an wanted to find for Ye Lizhu couldn't be too forceful. He was too strong and was afraid that Ye Lizhu would be wronged.
Ye Fu'an does not need to rely on daughters to consolidate the family's power. The Ye family relies on men. Over the years, the Ye family has never sent a daughter to the palace.
When it comes to Ye Lizhu, it's naturally the same.
Ye Fu'an had already ordered the boy to open the Linxian Building, and the three of them were drinking and talking on the high building.
It was windy at a high place and the windows on all six sides were open. When Ye Fu'an and Zhao Yun were discussing this year's reform of the southern mulberry fields, Ti Xiao looked out of the window.
The problem of slow updates of new chapters has finally been solved with an app that can change sources. Download the huanyuanapp.org source-changing app here and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
This is the fourth floor, the tallest building in the Ye family. Linxian Tower is in the north corner of the Ye family. Looking south, you can almost take in the entire Ye family.
Ti Xiao observed the layout of the entire Ye Mansion and roughly guessed where Ye Fu'an would let Ye Lizhu live.
Seeing that Ti Xiao had not talked about getting married for a long time, Ye Fu'an felt a little unsure.
Ti Xiao didn't talk about it, and Ye Fu'an couldn't take the initiative to talk about it. He looked at Ti Xiao: "Your Highness, King Qin, why are you blowing in the wind alone?"
Ti Xiao turned around and said: "I feel dizzy after being at a high place for a long time. Prince, please talk to the Prime Minister and I will go down and take a walk."
Zhao Yun was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "Uncle doesn't like heights, Prime Minister, just now you said that the scope of mulberry fields should be reduced..."
After Ti Xiao went downstairs, he didn't let his entourage follow him. Naturally, the people in Ye Mansion didn't dare to follow him.
He is an outsider, and there are many female relatives in the inner courtyard. As an outsider, he cannot enter the inner courtyard casually. There are many high walls. Ti Xiao speculates on two possible residences of Ye Lizhu. Although he knows that it is unlikely to see her, he still has This idea.
The night he met Ye Lizhu, Tixiao had a dream after falling asleep, and he had another dream last night. He used to not dream very much. The content of the dream was so unbearable that Ti Xiao's mood rarely fluctuated, but when he woke up his face changed drastically. While changing his clothes, he thought, this woman cannot be given to the prince.
Just for a brief moment, Ti Xiao thought that Ye Lizhu was just too beautiful, and beauty was a disaster. Although he usually had few desires and a pure heart, he was a normal man after all. It was not difficult to understand what he was thinking when he saw such a stunning beauty. Perhaps, if you take her back, bring her into your home, and see her more often, and look at her every day, you will find that she is similar to other women, and there is nothing interesting about her.
Ti Xiao walked forward. Ye Lizhu was tired of sitting on the swing and wanted to go back to Jingshui Xuan.
It's just that Ye Mansion is too big, so she went around and around, and actually got lost.
At this point in time, she didn't meet anyone else to show her the way, so she walked further and further out of the inner courtyard.
Ye Lizhu was weak and breathed after walking a few steps. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and looked pale. When passing a certain place, Ye Lizhu rested against the wall. Within half a quarter of an hour, she felt as if she was light. Some.
My chest is no longer so tight.
My legs don't feel as heavy as lead.
Ye Lizhu felt strange that the feeling that night seemed to be coming back.
She was born with deficiencies and was in particularly poor health. She didn't know what it was like to be a normal person, but now she felt as if she was as healthy as an ordinary person.
Ye Lizhu left the wall. She saw an arch in front of her and walked towards the arch unknowingly.
A man came face to face.
This man is too tall, even taller than Ye Fu'an.
Ye Lizhu has been in Mingfo Temple since she was five years old. Since she can remember, she has never seen any man except her father. The attendants around Ye Fu'an could not raise their heads to look at the eldest lady. Besides, Ye Fu'an would not let the attendants touch Ye Lizhu's finger when there was a maid.
Therefore, most of the people Ye Lizhu saw every day were women. When she suddenly saw someone so tall with a weapon hanging from her waist, Ye Lizhu felt a little uncomfortable.
She finally realized that she seemed to have gone astray. If she stayed in the inner courtyard, she would be unlikely to meet such a grown man.
Ye Lizhu didn't know this person, and there were differences between men and women, so it was impossible for them to talk to each other. So, she hesitated, turned around and walked back.
While she still has some memories, she should be able to go back to the original pavilion and wait for Nanny Chen to come find her.
Tixiao: “…”
Viewing the mountains from upstairs, the snow from the top of the city, the moon in front of the lamp, the clouds in the boat, and the beauties under the moon are all the most beautiful sights. He originally thought that under the moon that day, because of the hazy moonlight, Ye Lizhu was more beautiful. Now when he went to see her under the sun, he found that Ye Lizhu was even more beautiful, even more beautiful than what he had thought in his mind in the past two days. .
Ye Lizhu was wearing a light golden gauze dress, which was layered and elegant. She lowered her eyebrows and looked very gentle, but the cinnabar between her eyebrows was dazzlingly red. Because during the day, Ti Xiao could see clearly and realized that she could indeed bear the word "beautiful person".
But--
Why didn't Ye Lizhu look up at him
You hide from him when you see him. Are you shy
Ti Xiao's fingers suddenly bent, and he watched Ye Lizhu disappear in front of him step by step.
Here, Ye Lizhu was walking and finally realized something was wrong.
She felt exhausted again and felt unwell.
It was obviously fine when I was leaning against that wall just now.
Could it be that that wall is magical
Ye Lizhu turned back and looked at the wall again, but was surprised to find that the man she had just met was staying still, staring at her with sharp eyes.
The man's gaze made Ye Lizhu uncomfortable. She could sense that this man was of extraordinary bearing and should have been in a high position for a long time. He might be a good friend of her father. However, this person was too thick-skinned. He kept staring at her, and his eyes could poke holes in her body.
When Ti Xiao saw that Ye Lizhu actually turned back to look at him, he couldn't help but feel funny: She was still shy just now and she was a little far away, but she dared to look back at him boldly.
