Originally, the identity of Miss Cousin was very embarrassing among the aristocratic family. It was difficult to discuss marriages. It was neither too high nor too low. Yan Li's mother was still a woman who had decided to live for life with others. She had lost bad things more than ten years ago.
Because of fame, Yan Li was fond in the Taifu Mansion for years, the Jiang family never treated her as her own family in public and secretly. Even the Jiang family's grandsons always only loved Jiang Jingyue.
Even if Yan Li was bullied or ridiculed outside, they never protected him.
Later, slowly, Yan Li stopped leaving the mansion and stayed in his own courtyard, quietly waiting for an unknown fate.
Who would have thought that the prince retired from the marriage and actually pushed her to the forefront again. Originally, Mu Xiuhan only wanted Yan Li to swallow the humiliation of being wronged by himself, and retired from the marriage obediently. After a while, the wedding date was coming.
The matter will be successfully concluded if Jiang Jingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, married to the Eastern Palace as the crown princess.
Who knew that the Jiang family refused to fight against Yan Li and alarmed his father. Not only did they implicate Mu Xiuhan in punishment, but they made the only wedding in their life feel depressed and not even a decent ceremony.
He also suffered such a heavy punishment.
Mu Xiuhan turned to look at Jiang Jingyue, who was embarrassed. Seeing that she looked pale and haggard, her skin was dry, and her beautiful lips, which were dry and skinny, she didn't look gentle or charming?
A sense of disgust arises naturally.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Jiang Jingyue noticed his gaze, turned her head, saw his expression sinister, and spoke uneasy, "What...what happened?"
Mu Xiuhan withdrew his gaze and was indifferent: "Nothing."
Jiang Jingyue felt a little frightened, and her hand holding the brush suddenly clenched.
...
Not only did Yan Li's influence not be expected by Mu Xiuhan, but also by the Jiang family.
Since Yan Li was brought into the palace by the emperor and Jiang Jingyue was also taken into the palace the next day, Luo asked someone to inquire about his daughter's situation in the palace every day. He originally thought that even if the marriage was not so grand, there would definitely be an order in the harem afterwards.
However, a few days passed, nothing was there, everything was calm.
Luo's uneasiness has been deepening, and he chased Jiang Yunming to inquire about the news every day.
But the person who is most likely to find out about the news in the Jiang family is actually Grand Tutor Jiang. He is ranked among the third duke and stands at the forefront every day when he goes to court. However, Grand Tutor has no real power. Most of the time he just listens quietly to the emperor and ministers of various departments.
This did not prevent him from judging the emperor's mood that day.
He didn't see the prince in court for several days. Taifu Jiang already had a bad premonition. On the first day, he thought the prince had just gotten married, so he stopped talking, so he pressed his worries and didn't ask more questions. The next day, the emperor was not in a good mood.
OK, he lowered his eyebrows and looked down without opening his mouth. On the third day, he thought the prince would take the princess back to the door, so he didn't ask much.
However, after returning home from court, I found that the mansion was quiet, and I realized that there was no return to the door at all.
Moreover, there was no joy in the palace these days, and it was as calm as if the marriage did not exist at all. Every day, Grand Tutor Jiang would inadvertently notice that his colleagues looked at him with a different look. He thought it was Yan Li's business.
It was caused by the fourth day. It was not until the fourth day that the prince and the princess were ordered by the emperor to go to Fengyi Palace to pay tribute every day, and they had to kneel down to copy scriptures in Fengyi Palace. Life was so miserable that Grand Tutor Jiang couldn't help but feel sank.
After returning home, he sat in the study in a gloomy mood. Jiang Yunming and Luo came to ask, but only then did he learn that his daughter was not doing well. Luo gritted his teeth coldly: "It must be Yan Li's disaster that was instigating the emperor."
"Father, what should we do now?" Jiang Yunming frowned. "Jingyue was punished for a few days. If the emperor dislikes the Jiang family, it would be a big deal."
The prince’s wedding was not even a wedding, and the Jiang family is probably a joke to the officials now.
The most urgent task is to calm the emperor down, otherwise...
"I will go to apologize to the emperor tomorrow and bring Yan Li back by the way." Grand Tutor Jiang said, looking up at Luo, "You are better to Yan Li in the future, please coax more. If she can go to the emperor, the emperor will speak,
Maybe I will be able to calm down sooner.”
When Luo heard this, he subconsciously felt disgust in his heart. Then he thought of the scene where Yan Li went crazy that day, and couldn't help but chill.
I don’t know where the little bitch got the strength suddenly, and he beat so many servants without any resistance. Even she almost died at the hands of the little bitch... Now he still wants her to smile with Yan Li?
Luo thought coldly, and waited for Jingyue to become the queen and see how that little bitch died.
Grand Tutor Jiang sat for a while, feeling uneasy, and quickly got up and instructed: "Prepare the car, I will go to the palace to apologize now."
Jiang Yunming hurriedly said, "Father, I'll go with you?"
"Need not."
Taifu Jiang walked out and soon entered the palace in a carriage, reaching the imperial study all the way.
Emperor Zhaocheng was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room. When he heard that Grand Tutor Jiang asked for a meeting, he only calmly ordered: "Let Grand Tutor come in."
"yes."
As soon as Taifu Jiang entered the imperial study, he knelt down: "The old minister is ashamed and has no face to face the emperor."
"Please get up with the Grand Tutor." Emperor Zhaocheng glanced at him, turned his head and ordered: "Give the Grand Tutor a seat."
"The old minister dare not." Jiang Taifu refused, "The old minister is ashamed of the emperor's trust, and he is ashamed and blamed himself. He hopes that the emperor will forgive him."
Emperor Zhaocheng put down the memorial and said lightly: "I remember urged the Grand Tutor to take good care of Yan Li before."
"Yes." Grand Tutor Jiang leaned over, "The old minister always treated Yan Li as his granddaughter and was as strict as Jingyue. When the incident happened, I was blinded by anger and made a stupid decision. I was ashamed of my humiliation.
Yi'er, who trusts the emperor and feels guilty of leaving."
When talking about Jiang Yi, a complex look appeared on Emperor Zhaocheng's face. He looked at the old man in front of him and found that the truth was almost at the mouth, but he didn't say it.
Grand Tutor Jiang felt guilty: "I want to take Yan Li back and compensate her well."
compensate?
Emperor Zhaocheng did not believe that the Jiang family would give her any compensation. Yan Li was splashed with dirty water in the Jiang family. In this matter, the prince was an insider, Jiang Yunming and Luo were the main messengers, and Jiang Taifu could never be innocent.
He knew what their purpose was.
But Yan Li grew up in the Jiang family. Yan Li's mother Jiang Yi is the biological daughter of the Grand Tutor in front of her, and her blood relationship cannot be erased.
Besides, it was not a long-term solution for Yan Li to live in the palace.
Emperor Zhaocheng pondered, if they were willing to treat Yan Li well, it would be impossible to let Yan Li go back. He could give them a chance to see the Jiang family's performance next.
"Yan Li's injuries have improved a lot in the past two days. Let her stay in the palace for another two days and recuperate for a few more days." Emperor Zhaocheng said lightly, "If she wants, she will go back at the end of the month."
