Chapter 26
Really Want to Marry
When Mrs. Feng heard this, her face turned red with anger, her nostrils were crooked, and she picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and wanted to throw it away.
I remembered that I spent a lot of money to buy the tea cup, so I put it down again.
Finally, I picked some worthless broken bowls and broke them.
But still not relieved.
The things that the emperor and the empress rewarded her with, so she couldn't touch them, but Little Hooves actually wanted to take back all of Zhang's dowry.
Not only that, he also asked her to pay a dowry!
"What the hell!" Feng was so angry that her hands and feet twitched, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
Li Manting heard that her mother was very angry, so she quickly came over to persuade her.
As soon as I arrived at Lanxiangyuan, I heard the crisp sound of broken porcelain and quickly stepped inside.
"Mom, that little hoof has been in the mountains for five years and must be very poor. As long as the money is in our house, how to get it is a matter of method and sooner or later, isn't it?"
Feng finally calmed down a little: "What you said makes sense, I'm afraid she has never even seen a banknote of one hundred taels of silver."
The mother and daughter analyzed it for a long time, and the more Feng thought about it, the more she felt that she should not break up in Qingyuju.
"Today, my mother was really angry with your second brother, so I yelled at her in Qingyu Juli."
This made the little hoof take precautions and refused to take out the reward, and even went so far as to ask for the dowry back in a roundabout way.
Li Manting consoled her: "Mom, she is only one person after all. She only has a maid and a deaf-mute woman beside her. No matter how powerful she is, how can she be like that? Today she is just using Eunuch Ye to give her speech to show off her power."
How could Li Yuyan do that if no one from the palace was present?
She was really dazzled by the exquisite jewelry at that time. If she was asked for it later, how could Li Yuyan, a fool like her, refuse?
Even if she refuses and makes her own plans, the good stuff still won’t come easily?
——
Not long after Eunuch Ye returned to the palace, what happened to the Li family reached Ye Yiheng's ears.
After narrating the news, Song Guo asked: "Your Highness, does Miss Li Wu really want to marry Your Highness?"
"how you said that?"
"Previously at Xinya Academy, she defended His Highness and slapped the daughter of the Xu family four times. The clear sound still echoes in her ears. In the Xingning Hall, His Highness first said that the miracle doctor was a fake, and she helped His Highness expose the fake miracle doctor. Now, she
If you want to get back your birth mother's dowry, don't you want it to be richer when you marry His Highness? Besides, she also said that taking care of the money is to manage the East Palace's property in the future."
Ye Yiheng said quietly: "Songguo, how many years have you been following Gu?"
"This little slave has been following His Highness since he was seven years old. It has been twelve years now."
There are too many brothers in his family, and the first few have already reached the age where they should marry wives, but no one comes to serve as matchmakers. The reason is simply that the family is too poor.
Due to lack of livelihood, his family sent him to the palace in exchange for money.
That year, he was only seven years old.
Also that year, Ye Yiheng had just been established as the crown prince and needed to leave his mother and live in the East Palace.
The queen wanted to choose a young eunuch who was about the same age as the prince.
There happened to be a newly cleansed man of the right age, but unfortunately he lost too much blood. After hearing this, the Queen said that it was a pity.
At that time, Ye Yiheng was eating pine nuts. He pushed the plate of pine nuts in front of him and said to the waiter: "Send the pine nuts to someone and say that if he survives, he can go to the East Palace with Gu."
Although seven-year-old Ye Yiheng does not understand medicine, he has read in books that pine cones can reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, and nourish and strengthen.
He happened to be eating, just as a favor.
If anyone who is sent to the palace as a eunuch has an accident while purifying himself, he will not be able to afford medical treatment.
The same was true for pine cones back then.
But he ate the pine nuts sent by the prince and miraculously survived.
From then on, he stayed with Ye Yiheng and was so loyal that he even changed his name to Song Guo.
He had so many brothers, but his biological parents singled him out and sent him to the palace.
When he had an accident, his family ignored him. At that moment, he had no illusions about his family of origin.
Later I heard that his family used the money he earned from his purification to build a bungalow, and the first two brothers even begged their wives because of this.
From then on, he had little contact with his family.
In his opinion, it was the prince who gave him a chance to live a new life.
Now, he is really happy that a noble girl from aristocratic family is willing to marry His Highness the Crown Prince.
Ye Yiheng shook his head: "You are still naive."
Song Guo bowed his head respectfully: "This slave is stupid, please make it clear to your Highness!"
"She just took the opportunity to get back what belongs to her." As she spoke, Ye Yiheng didn't notice it, but the corners of her lips raised slightly, with an imperceptible arc.
Song Guo was still confused: "Don't Miss Li Wu want to marry His Highness? There are so many women in the world, why is no one willing to marry her?"
Ye Yiheng coughed for a while, and Song Guo quickly helped him calm down, but it was in vain.
He couldn't stop coughing like this, and his body became increasingly cold.
Song Guo sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and then asked someone to help the prince into the house and cover him with several brocade quilts.
When the imperial doctor arrived, he prescribed a prescription and boiled the medicine.
After Ye Yiheng drank the medicine, his body recovered a little.
"This body alone is the reason why no one wants to marry me."
Song Guo's tears were disappointing, so she turned around and wiped her tears.
It was already February, the weather was getting warmer, and His Highness's cold symptoms seemed to be getting worse.
Jiang Lecheng received the news and rushed to the East Palace immediately.
Seeing Ye Yiheng sitting on the bed, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, he immediately frowned: "I said, even if it's one hundred thousand gold, as long as the miracle doctor can cure you, I think it's worth it!"
Ye Yiheng remained silent, as the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen.
This eye disease has lasted for a long time, and the symptoms of body cold are coming fiercely.
Ye Yiheng couldn't figure out whether there was any connection between the two, and neither did the imperial doctors.
Ye Yiheng coughed a few times and spoke slowly: "Maybe there is no miracle doctor in the world."
Seeing that his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, Jiang Lecheng frowned deeper: "How could that be?"
"Perhaps the one in Linqingge is just a liar with better means."
"Your Highness, we still have to hope, right?"
Having said that, Jiang Lecheng was actually unsure.
Ye Yiheng leaned his head to the side and closed his eyes to rest.
——
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yuyan entered the palace again.
This time Concubine Xian sent someone to invite her.
Li Yuyan probably had a guess about Concubine Xian's purpose, so she remained silent all the way.
The maid sent by Concubine Xian observed the situation and was thinking about how she would respond if the ugly daughter of the Li family asked questions. Unexpectedly, she did not ask a word.
The palace maid thought that the ugly daughter of the Li family came to the palace twice during the holiday, so she was probably a little tired.
Thinking like this, I feel even more contempt in my heart. She is ugly and fragile, and really has no merit.
How could the Concubine Xian tell her to serve her well?
The Chenglan Palace of the Concubine Xian was resplendent with carved beams and painted buildings. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a lingering fragrance.
Li Yuyan wrinkled her nose, she didn't like the smell.
Follow the maid into the main hall.
In the main hall, there is a throne, with screens on both sides, ancient shelves, and an incense burner in the middle.
The crystal bead curtain poured down and the Concubine Xian came out with a soft smile: "Is Yuyan here?"
