Old Madam Yu first saw her granddaughter talking badly to Princess Ninth, and then saw her coaxing Princess Ninth to approach her. Hearing the empress's voice of laughing, a bean-sized drop of sweat dripped from her forehead, for fear that the brat would continue to act as a demon.
Yu Pinyan was very calm, his sculpted handsome face showed no expression.
The prince and princess also looked away, their shoulders shrugged slightly. The scene of two snowball-like little girls staring at each other is really cute.
"Did her leg become like this to save Pinyan?" The empress asked in a low voice.
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
"Can it be cured?"
"Xue Yuanzheng looked at it and said that unless Master Ku Hui takes action, there is no hope."
Originally, there was a miracle doctor named Pu who could be counted on, but he missed the opportunity because of saving the crown prince. The old lady can't talk to the royal people on the premise of this, otherwise it means repaying the favor.
If she didn't mention it, the empress would never forget it, and immediately said, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to look for Master Ku Hui. As long as the master is still in the world, I will definitely bring him back."
Before the old lady could answer, Yu Pinyan bowed and saluted, with a sincere tone, "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."
"Don't talk about that, thanks to you, Chengsi (Prince) was able to return to Ben Gong safely this time. It is Ben Gong who should say thanks." The empress smiled and waved her hand, pointing to the cute little fairy among the flowers. The girl said, "Yu Xiang is also a good person. She understands righteousness at a young age. This palace's little ball is the most clear-minded, and she can't go wrong with the person she likes immediately."
Old Madam Yu didn't even dare to say anything, but when she looked forward, the big stone in her heart that had just fallen was lifted again. I saw my granddaughter quickly lifted the blanket, covered it up quickly before Princess Jiu could react, and rubbed the head of Princess Jiu with a smile. What about taking a look? You son of a bitch, the empress is here staring at you, you dare to lie to Princess Nine.
Princess Jiu also felt that she had been cheated, and stared at Yu Xiang with accusing eyes, and said crisply, "I didn't see it!"
"That's because your eyesight is bad, no wonder I'm there." Yu Xiang said with a smile, "I'll show you one more time, and you give me a bite of the pastry in your hand, just one bite!" She must be a foodie with such a round face.
The ninth princess was tangled, but seeing the lotus seed cake smiling so beautifully, she reluctantly stretched out her hand.
Yu Xiang was not polite at all, and swallowed the pastry in one gulp, leaving only a bit of pastry crumbs on the fingertips of Princess Jiu. Princess Jiu stared at her in astonishment, her mouth was flattened, her nose was raised, her eyes were flushed, and she showed a cute crying face.
The old lady Yu stood behind the empress, she couldn't see her expression, and she didn't dare to turn her face to look at the expressions of the prince and princess. She just felt that one soul was out of her body and two souls were ascending to heaven. She was so scared to death by Yu Xiang, a brat!
Yu Xiang laughed so hard that she fell down, reached out to rub Princess Jiu's head, and coaxed, "Don't cry, don't cry, my sister is wrong, I will show you a magic trick. This time you really have to watch it!"
Princess Jiu stopped crying and looked up curiously, only to see her white hands swaying left and right in the floating light, and then snapped her fingers to conjure a delicate and beautiful camellia out of thin air, and then inserted her hands at her temples. A sweet and greasy fragrance wafted down her fluttering hair, and it smelled delicious.
Ninth Princess shrugged her little nose and inhaled continuously, grabbed her palm and looked over and over again.
The empress let out a surprised 'Huh', and saw that her daughter was willing to take the initiative to contact people, and her expression looked so happy, she couldn't help but get wet.
Because the youngest daughter was born with some congenital deficiencies, not only speaks and walks later than ordinary people, but also has a very withdrawn personality. But just because she is the most vulnerable and purest among all the children, the queen loves her to the bone. Tonight's Lantern Banquet is obviously to celebrate the queen's birthday, but secretly it is to choose a companion for Yaonu.
But seeing Yao Nv hiding in an empty corner as soon as she arrived, the queen thought that this matter was dead, but Yu Xiang jumped out unexpectedly. That eccentric character just complements Yao Nv.
The prince muffled a laugh, "You taught me this move? You also liked to show off when you were young."
Yu Pinyan stared closely at the little girl who conjured another camellia flower for the Ninth Princess, and said in a proud tone, "Xiang'er is much faster than me."
Both little balls are wearing flowers, you look at me, I look at you, very smug for a while. Yu Xiang asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoqiuer." Ninth Princess smiled foolishly.
Yu Xiang laughed so hard when she heard this, she jokingly said, "My name is Xiao Xiang'er. Your name really matches your own. Whoever picked it for you is so talented!"
The talented empress covered her mouth and suppressed a smile, and said softly, "Although little Xiang'er is not good at conduct, she is very cheerful and open-minded." Look at her bold smile, not to mention her white teeth, even the small tongue in her throat You can see it, but ordinary girls really can't do it.
The old lady Yu was very guilty, "Go back to your mother, because Xianger's legs and feet are inconvenient, the minister's wife thought that she should not be restrained by too many rules. On weekdays, she only taught her to read and learn the piano, and did not teach too much etiquette. I also ask your empress to forgive me."
After hearing this, the queen felt a little sympathy, and took the old lady's hand and patted it, "You are right to think so! They are different from ordinary people, so naturally they shouldn't be treated like ordinary people. .Life has already brought too much inconvenience and suffering to them, so don’t impose more burdens on them. Let them live happily.”
Speaking of which, the Empress looked at the two giggling little girls not far away, she became more and more in love with her, she smiled and waved her hands, "Let's go. Let them play freely. Chengsi and Pinyan stay and take care of them." , Don't get too close to let them find out."
The prince and Yu Pinyan bowed and agreed.
The old lady Yu left with the queen and the princess, and entered the Nuan Shui Pavilion where the wives gathered, and received many envious looks. The Queen sat in the pavilion for a while and then went down to rest, and the Crown Princess followed suit.
The atmosphere in the cabinet suddenly became much more relaxed. A lady with a round body, a good face, and a luxurious dress walked up to the old lady and sat down, and said in a low voice, "Old lady, the marriage between Fu'er and Pinyan, should I mention it? Look, they Not too young."
When the old lady saw her, Heyue's complexion immediately turned cold.
Before Yu Pinyan was born, the old Hou Ye and the old Jingguo made a marriage between Qin and Jin. Later, each of them gave birth to a boy and a girl, and they were Yu Pinyan and Chang Yafu, the second daughter of Duke Jing's mansion. Duke Jingguo is a first-class Duke, super-grade, simple in the emperor's heart, and his family status is still higher than that of Yonglehoufu.
The old lady is also extremely satisfied with this marriage. The old Hou Ye died on the battlefield, and his son died in banditry. Seeing the sunset, the Hou Mansion was in danger, and it was time for the help of his in-laws.
At that time, people did not pay attention to age in marriage, and it was common for people to start a family at the age of eleven or twelve. It would be of great help to Yu Pinyan if he married the prostitute of the Duke of Yasukuni's mansion. The old lady begged to the Yasukuni Mansion several times, hoping to advance the marriage of the two children, but was rejected by the Yasukuni who had just ascended to the throne at that time. Old Duke Jingguo had a stroke, and he couldn't move or speak, so naturally he couldn't help.
The old lady is shrewd, so she doesn't know Yasukuni's little thoughts. He was waiting for the end of the grand drama of the Marquis of Yongle. Whoever wins the final victory will betroth his daughter to that family. In short, he will not marry his daughter to a down-and-out person whose family background has declined and failed to seize the title.
Really selfish and ruthless!
The old lady was so angry that she cut off contact with Duke Yasukuni's mansion from then on. Unexpectedly, with Yu Pinyan's ability, he defeated many uncles at a young age, and was appointed by the emperor as Marquis of Yongle, which is no worse than his grandfather! Moreover, after just over a year in the court, he has done several beautiful errands one after another, which has become more and more important to the emperor.
He is only 16 this year, and he has not reached the weak championship. If he has experienced a few more years, what will he be like? If the prince ascends the throne, as the prince's most trusted subject, what will it be like
Duke Jing was in a hurry, and ordered his wife, Mrs. Du, to bring important gifts to discuss the marriage, but the old lady turned them away. The marriage certificate was still in the old lady's hand, and Yu Pinyan was deeply trusted by the emperor and the prince. Lord Jingguo didn't dare to force him, let alone betroth his second daughter to others. Asking for the next request is like answering the old saying-causal cycle, retribution is not good.
"It's too early to talk about the weak crown." The old lady waved her hands casually.
Can girls be the same as boys? The same is 16, one is not as weak as the crown, but the other is already an old girl, how can it stand the burden! Du Shi was so anxious that he scratched his heart and lungs, but he didn't dare to say a word of seriousness, so he had to be careful.
The old lady closed her eyes and listened for a while, then snorted coldly, "Back then you looked down on the Hou's mansion, and now I don't look down on your Duke's mansion either. Rules don't make rules, concubines don't become concubines, and nothing has been achieved in these years. Just sit and eat under the prestige of the old Duke. This marriage is really a bit unsuitable."
The implication is that Chang Yafu is not worthy of Yu Pinyan. These words are poisonous, more poisonous than what Du Shi mocked the old lady back then. But Du Shi was speechless. After the old man became seriously ill, the Yasukuni mansion was indeed getting worse day by day, because Yasukuni is a mediocre person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
It is too important for the Yasukuni government to form a strong in-law, which is why they refused to marry Chang Yafu to Yu Pinyan easily.
How did they know that a fourteen-year-old boy would be so scheming and resourceful. In short, four words - regret it!
Du Shiqiang pulled out a smile, and said, "It's said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person. Fu'er is a very virtuous person. She is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She also specially invited the mother in the palace to teach the rules. She is very sensible. She is also filial and capable. She started to help me manage the house when I was ten years old, and she managed the most profitable store under the name of the Duke's Mansion. She alone supported hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion, and she hadn't paid for it in six years. Flaw. Such a person is a blessing to marry into a family. Don't talk about it, old lady, and you can make a decision after seeing my Fuer."
The old lady is getting old, and it is really difficult to manage the Hou Mansion. The Lin family can't count on it, Yu Siyu's mind is not right, and Yu Xiang is young and bad at acting. After counting and counting in the house, there is no one available. She is planning to marry a virtuous woman for her grandson, and hand over the gifts to herself. It is also good to enjoy a few years of happiness. Du Shi's words really entered her heart.
The marriage letter has been written, and it would be a hassle to divorce the marriage, let's go and have a look. Thinking of this, she nodded helplessly.
Overjoyed, Mrs. Du quickly helped her up and walked to the back garden.
