When they came out of Yunfu, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"My God, it's going to change!" Lingxuan murmured in a low voice, and found that her rebirth had changed many things, but also made many originally fixed endings confusing, even she couldn't grasp it.
At this time in the previous life, Wanqi Lingxuan almost had to hand over the imperial power to the emperor because he controlled the entire East Yan Kingdom. But in this life, because of his own rebirth, Wanqi Lingxuan's road to the emperor was blocked, and the situation became even more obscure.
She knew that even if she blocked Wanqi Lingxuan thousands of times, she still couldn't stop his ambition. Because of this, those who do not go with him are more and more dangerous.
In order to gain power, she didn't dare to think about what Wanqi Lingxuan would do, for she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the final outcome.
"The emperor's failure to establish a crown prince for a long time will only make ambitious people want to move in the end." Wan Qi Chengyan naturally understood the key point. He had nothing to do with the throne, so he saw it more thoroughly.
"Will those ambitious people give up after the crown prince is established?" Yun Tao's tone was a bit aggressive. He thought of the person who was thousands of miles away, and thought of her identity and position, and a ball of fire burst out in his heart. .
Lingxuan looked at the elder brother who had lost his composure, and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't utter the last word.
Yes, so what if you become the crown prince? Isn't Baili Chunhui the future emperor predetermined by Beihan Kingdom? But King Yi was ambitious, so he forced Baili Chunhui to escape several times, and his life was worse than that of ordinary people.
Even if the emperor appoints a certain prince as the prince now, ambitious people will always have ambitions, and they will never accept their fate.
Wan Chengyan didn't open his mouth to refute, because being in the royal family, he had unavoidable calculations. Outsiders look at him and think he is very happy. His father never remarried, and the palace is simple—but, who knows, even the simple Prince Yong's mansion has been plotted and murdered many times. It's not that the father has a deep heart. At this time, it is not known whether there is Prince Yong's mansion.
"Yan, who do you think the emperor would prefer to be the crown prince?" Asking this question, Lingxuan lowered her voice, so low that she could hardly hear herself.
"Let's go back and talk about it first!" Such a topic is very inappropriate to discuss in the carriage.
Back at Yun's house, except for Yun Lingyan, the three of them all went to the study room, and Ying'er and Luliu were asked to wait at the door, and no one could come closer.
"I discussed this matter with my father. He said that the reason why the emperor did not appoint a prince was because the actions of the princes did not satisfy him." Thoughts: "Because of his humble background, the eldest prince does not have the aura of a prince. Although Prince Rui came from a direct descendant, he does not have a strong backing support. Even if he is in the upper position, the emperor is worried that he will not be able to sit securely. The third prince is unknown, and he hardly even attends palace banquets." Participating, let alone being taken into consideration by the emperor. As for King Xuan... having a historian as his backer should have been the most suitable, but because he was too impatient and ambitious, the emperor did not make a decision for a long time, so that the matter of establishing a prince came It's still hanging on now."
"Prince Xuan is in power, and those who oppose him will end badly, and those princes have no chance of surviving!" After seeing the cruel competition for the throne of Beihan Kingdom, Yun Tao would not think that the wealthy Dongyan Kingdom would be better off. .
Lingxuan had to admit that what the eldest brother said was the most correct, Wanqi Lingxuan was the kind of person who could not tolerate any flaws.
"My father really likes Prince Rui. Prince Rui has a gentle temperament and is tolerant. Unfortunately, compared to Prince Xuan, he is weaker and weaker." This is also the reason why Prince Yong's residence did not have a clear reason.
If the first empress is still there, perhaps it is only natural for Prince Rui to take the throne.
For Prince Rui, Lingxuan also had an impression, knowing that he was not a ruthless person who would take revenge, and also felt that what Wan Qi Chengyan said had some truth.
From her rebirth, she was doomed to be the result of either your death or my death with Wanqi Lingxuan in this life. It is completely impossible for both sides to be good, so I can only choose one who can protect the Yun family and accommodate Yun. Mingjun of the family. And this person, Prince Rui is the most suitable one.
"What if the Yun family supports Prince Rui?" Not only the money, but also the mysterious power behind it.
Yun Tao didn't make a sound, because he knew that Lingxuan had been wronged by Wanqi Lingxuan in his absence these past few years, and he was destined not to get along with such a person peacefully, so he didn't refute her suggestion.
"Prince Yong's Mansion is also the same choice!" She married herself, which means that the Yun family and Prince Yong's Mansion are tied together, life and death are the same.
"This matter is not something that you can do whatever you want. It's better to settle your marriage first!" Yun Tao found that his wish to come back was simple, but after he came back, he found that the Yun family was in a The position is not as simple as his own in Beihan Country, so he can't leave immediately, so he can only endure it and wait for the best opportunity.
Now, he only hopes to marry Xuan'er to Wan Qi Chengyan, and also find a support for the Yun family, so that he can leave the Yun family with peace of mind, and go to do something for the person he loves the most.
Lingxuan knew Yun Tao's plan and didn't make a sound to stop it. She knew that even if she stopped it, nothing would change, especially Baili Chunhui had already left a mark on her elder brother's heart, which would never be erased in this lifetime.
Eldest brother's temperament is similar to that of his father. If he loves one person, he will love him for the rest of his life. I don't know how many girls have been heartbroken.
Wan Qi Chengyan liked this kind of request the most. After discussing with Yun Tao for a few words, he couldn't wait to leave Yun's house. He wanted to go back and let his father send an official media to come to the door, and then hired him to settle the marriage.
In order to fulfill her promise, and to reassure her elder brother, Lingxuan just pursed her lips and smiled slightly, completely letting the two men decide.
When Prince Yong heard that the Yun family had let go, he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. The whole palace was also beaming. After all, this was the first happy event in the palace for many years. Can you not make people happy
I found an official media, brought a generous and dazzling dowry gift, and went to Yun's family to make an appointment. There was no special requirement for the marriage that was already agreed to, and everything came naturally.
However, because it was near the end of the year and there was really no good day to pick, the wedding date was moved to March next year—just like that, Wan Chengyan still felt that it was too late.
Prince Yong's mansion attached great importance to Yun Lingxuan, making the whole capital envious, regardless of whether they were married or not. They offered the most lucrative dowry gift, and what they really wanted was to hold Yun Lingxuan in their palms.
Ordinarily, Prince Yong's mansion is a relative of the emperor, so he only asked for an imperial decree, and no dowry was required, and Yun Lingxuan could also be allowed to bring a large dowry in. But in order to show importance and specialness, he gave away all the dowry left by the late princess, which added a lot, and suddenly became a topic in the capital, attracting more envy and jealousy.
"Every advantage has been taken by her alone." When Yunhe heard the news, she gritted her silver teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
Although King Xuan didn't dislike her now, he was not as good as the one he had before, so she had to hug her carefully, fearing that she would go back to the days when she was not as good as a beast.
"What Sister He said is true, this Yun Lingxuan, a businesswoman, was not only named the princess, but even became the concubine of Prince Yong's mansion, and even the future Princess of Yong. Such a status and status are not ordinary people. I can climb up!" Shangguan Yanlan had noticed Yunhe a long time ago, although she wished to kill her, she told herself that she had to endure, so as not to ruin her own affairs.
Nowadays, there are too many people in the palace who are more powerful than her. If she confronts her head-on, she will not only end badly, but also won't get the prince's love, so she started to buy people's hearts in a low-key manner, making people think that she is that kind of harmless, Lower your guard against her.
"The concubine pays her respects to the concubine," Yun He was just complaining about the grievances alone, but she didn't know when Shangguan Yanlan had arrived behind her. After being rewarded by King Xuan, he seemed to be loyal to him, but he didn't know who he was loyal to behind the scenes.
"They're all my sisters, don't worry about those empty gifts," Shangguan Yanlan muttered after receiving the gift, and asked the big maid beside her to help Yunhe up.
Yun He couldn't figure out what Shangguan Yanlan was thinking, knowing that she was humble, she pursed her lips and remained silent. Compared with the carefree and unawareness of the past, she is now a lot more cautious and humble, and knows what the difference is.
"Sister He, who is also from the Yun family, why is there such a big difference in status?" Shangguan Yanlan looked at Yun He who was standing humbly by the side, thinking of her showing off King Xuan's favor everywhere, she felt a deep anger in her heart Pressing down, knowing that I can't show a little displeasure at this time, otherwise it will ruin my big event.
"It's useless to be a concubine, and can't help the prince," Yun He said with her head bowed.
Help the prince, hmph, if you really help, I will bow my head and humble myself in front of you right now. Shangguan Yanlan gritted her teeth fiercely in her heart, but she couldn't reveal anything.
"If Sister He has the heart, it's not impossible to help," Yunhe's idea of wanting to gain a foothold is better than anyone else's.
She is the main concubine, although others despise her, but at least she will save some face. As for Yunhe, she doesn't have a strong backer, and she is the only concubine in the palace. Anyone who sees her unhappy can bully her, so it is conceivable how much she wants to climb up.
"How to help?" Hesitating in his heart, but still unable to resist the temptation to climb up, Yun He finally spoke.
Seeing that Yunhe had been duped, a smile flashed across Shangguan Yanlan's eyes, but his face remained serious without showing any emotion.
"Yun Lingxuan doesn't know her identity, and her mother doesn't know, so... when my mother gave birth to her eldest brother, she became engaged to Yun Lingxuan, just because Yun Lingxuan wanted to cling to the rich and powerful. , Forced my parents to have no choice but to ignore this marriage..." Shangguan Yanlan said while observing Yunhe's expression, seeing her eyes from the beginning to the end, she knew her own love. The method moved her heart.
Yun He's heart is naturally moved, she always feels that Yun Lingxuan should be under her, and she shouldn't have such a miserable life, but she has become a master. As long as Yun Lingxuan can be destroyed, then everything she has now will be gone.
Although the heart is moving, Yunhe is very different from before. At least she knows that some things look pleasing to the eye, but it is not easy to do it.
"Without a marriage certificate, what's the use if Yun Lingxuan doesn't admit it?" Yun He knew that this matter was not true, if it was true, would the Shangguan family allow Yun Lingxuan to be so rampant? She had long thought of ways to force Yun Lingxuan to get married, and even took over everything in the Yun family.
"I've already arranged this matter. You just need to tell your mother. When the time comes...," she lowered her voice and whispered to Yun He's side, and then said with a smile, "If the matter After it's done, this princess will definitely tell the prince to let sister He become the side concubine, and then make proper arrangements for your mother, so that she won't live a miserable life alone in the village!"
The identity of the side concubine attracted Yun He's attention, and as for the mother who lived in Zhuangzi, it never flashed in her heart at all.
"Princess, don't worry, the concubine will definitely settle this matter, and Yun Lingxuan will be ruined, and she will never have the face to live in the capital again!" Yun He couldn't hide the cruelty in her eyes, she wanted Yun Lingxuan to be ruined, Destroy everything you have now.
"Hehe, these days, you don't need to report when you go in and out of the palace. If you have news, just come to my yard!" In order to let Yunhe see greater rights, Shangguan Yanlan let go to the end.
"Thank you, Princess!" Yun He remembered that before he couldn't even get out of the palace, but now that he could get in and out easily, his eyes were full of smiles.
"Bang!" After a good pear wood table turned into smashed residue, everyone dared not say a word.
"Damn it, where did such rumors come from?" After Lingxuan and Wanqi Chengyan got engaged, they should wait for the day of marriage with peace of mind. However, at this time, rumors spread in the capital, saying that Yun Lingxuan had long been engaged to her childhood sweetheart cousin, and because of her attachment to the powerful, she disregarded her deceased mother's last wish and refused to admit it. That's why we have today's wealth.
Such rumors spread to Yun's house, causing Yun Tao to shatter a table angrily.
"I want to tell you, the young master, it seems that the wife of the minister of rites had a banquet before, and such rumors came out of it. The wife of the minister of rites suppressed it, so it didn't spread immediately... But after that, the streets and small towns in the capital There are rumors in the alley, and it is out of control!" Ying'er reported in a deep voice, full of coldness towards those who ruined the master's reputation.
Such a person should be killed!
No matter what the purpose is, to charge the master with such a crime is to force the master to die - the intention is too vicious.
"Brother, we have to investigate this matter slowly, don't get too angry," Lingxuan was completely speechless about what Shangguan's family did.
She didn't want to touch Shangguan's family herself, but relying on the women in Prince Xuan's mansion who were fighting for power and profit, every one of them had the upper hand, Shangguan Yanlan's life would be difficult for the rest of her life. Moreover, Wanqi Lingxuan will not tolerate a princess who does not help her at all, so she is waiting for the end of Shangguan Yanlan and the defeat of the Shangguan family.
But now, as soon as Shangguan Yanlan entered Prince Xuan's mansion, she made such a big stumbling block for herself, wouldn't it be unreasonable if she didn't pay back properly!
"Did these people treat you like this before?" Yun Tao asked sharply.
"It's not bad," before Lingxuan could say anything, Lingyan muttered: "At Shangguan Yanlan and Jili, they intentionally hurt my sister and drugged her, if she wasn't smart , now my sister has already become Shangguan Yongan's concubine," and that Aunt Jiao is nowhere to be found.
For the members of the Shangguan family, she didn't think anyone was good.
"Xuan'er, why didn't you say these things?" Yun Tao only knew that the Shangguan family had plotted against Lingxuan many times, but he didn't think that there were such despicable things in it.
"..." Lingxuan looked at the angry elder brother, hesitated for a moment, and then quietly explained: "Elder brother, I don't want you to touch Shangguan's house, but I want to see what Shangguan Yanlan will do to you after she enters Prince Xuan's mansion." What kind of fate the Shangguan family will bring, we don't need to contribute at all!"
"But you can't let them bully you like this for nothing!?" Yun Tao looked at Lingxuan who was calm and restrained, and always felt that she was not the impulsive and comparison-loving sister in memory. She was a little too calm, and she looked like her mother when she was alive, as if she was planning a strategy and taking everything into consideration.
However, Xuan'er, who was somewhat resistant to her mother because of Shangguan Yanlan's instigation since childhood, will she really get her mother's true biography
"Brother, don't worry, this time, since the Shangguan family has opened their mouths like this, the matter will become bigger. Then, we can see who is scheming who!" Lingxuan's eyes flashed sharply, knowing this matter Shangguan Yanlan was 100% involved in this matter.
She didn't try to plot against Shangguan Yanlan, she couldn't let go of herself, this kind of person really thought that after entering Prince Xuan's mansion, he could be lawless.
"Miss," the white nanny who had been keeping silent all this time suddenly said, "There is no reason for it, and it may not be without reason—even if we can be sure that the madam will not arrange such a marriage for the eldest miss, we can't guarantee that these picky things are not allowed to use despicable things. Means. Before, they didn’t even mention it, but now they have made such a thing, and it’s such a big disturbance, there must be something convincing, Missy, it’s better not to take it lightly!”
There are many dirty tricks in the palace. Calling the dead alive will often cause a lot of injustices, so she reminded her, lest the young lady forget to be vigilant and be fooled. The consequences are not something they can bear.
Lingxuan looked at Nanny Bai's worried look, and thought about the many signs of inappropriateness this time, and she was also a little puzzled. She didn't know where the Shangguan family's determined aura of not being afraid to offend Prince Yong's mansion came from.
She knew 100% that her mother would not make an engagement for her at will. She remembered what her mother used to say at the time: "Being engaged so early, who knows that you will meet a cat or a dog. If you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, you will be harmed." My daughter will live her whole life, so I must wait until later, and open my eyes wide to choose a son-in-law. I must not marry blindly.
Based on this, she knew that she would never have a marriage contract with that guy Shangguan Yong'an.
But, what evidence does the Shangguan family have? What evidence can I use to convince myself
The rumors that Yun Lingxuan was engaged early overwhelmed the limelight of her engagement to Wan Qichengyan, causing many people to angrily accuse Yun Lingxuan of being disobedient to women, disrespecting her elders, changing the engagement without authorization, sorry for her dead parents, and hurting her even more. Shangguan Yong'an also made Shizi Yan innocently bear the infamy because of her—everything started to target her, which was the biggest crisis related to reputation that Lingxuan encountered after her rebirth.
Compared to the fierceness outside, everything in the Yun family is fine. Lingxuan didn't cry, run away, or get angry, but let her trace the origin of the matter step by step, wanting to know who was plotting against her behind her back.
And Wan Chengyan came to Yun's house on the first night after hearing the rumors, and said that no matter what, this marriage would not change, so she could feel at ease.
Such support made Lingxuan smile knowingly.
She doesn't care what other people think or plan, as long as the people she cares about believe it, that's fine.
Lingxuan didn't know how she provoked the anger of the public, but she knew that after this incident, many people began to add insult to injury, demanded severe punishment for herself, and asked Prince Yong's Palace to withdraw the marriage, so as not to damage the royal family's reputation and ruin the marriage. She couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't know when she made so many enemies.
These people really want to kick themselves a few times, wishing they could die.
"The unmarried ladies in the capital are envious of the uncle's kindness to the eldest lady, and wish to replace him, so this time, they seized the opportunity and started to make trouble, not afraid of retribution in the future!" Bai Nam muttered very annoyed, thinking that Those ladies from all over the world are blinded by their good looks for nothing, and their intentions are vicious.
"There's only one uncle, so it's hard for them to break up the young lady's marriage, so they can still divide the uncle?" Cha'er expressed her indignation, her words were childish, but also reasonable.
"Those are people who can't see the good of others. When my uncle was hired, how many eyes were red, and it was too late to be jealous. How could I let go of this opportunity," Jinniang echoed in a low voice, and her tone was actually mocking.
"Those jumping clowns, what are you doing with them? I'm not angry, why are you so anxious?" Knowing that they all care about themselves and don't want them to worry too much, Lingxuan was so comforting.
Looking at the young lady's leisurely look, Bai Momo sighed heavily, and said with some concern: "Miss, I'm afraid this matter will not be that simple, please be prepared..." Maybe it will happen again. It was implicated in Prince Yong's Mansion.
Lingxuan squinted her eyes, knowing that Nanny Bai was right, but at this point in the matter, she was passive and couldn't produce any favorable evidence, so she could only wait for the limelight to pass. Anyway, Prince Yong was not angry, no Let Wanqi Chengyan come to annul the engagement, everything is easy to talk about.
