Chapter two hundred and nine, visiting the embroidery village
"Do you want to be Princess Duan?" Feng Yu looked into Yu Xijiao's eyes in the dark and asked.
"I don't want to!" Yu Xijiao's black and white eyes blinked, and she refused without hesitation. Her voice was always gentle, with the gentle accent of a Jiangnan woman, but the words she spoke seemed extremely cold.
"The eldest princess, Princess Duan, does have an advantage over the other princes. For such a position, the rich families in the capital would go crazy for it. As long as you stand in that position, you can do anything you want for Yu Lanxuan.
"Feng Yu's voice was filled with infinite temptation.
Even more so in this dark night, it seems that I can face my own heart more clearly in this darkness.
"No need!" Yu Xijiao still refused without any hesitation.
"Is it because Feng Lanxiu fell in love with Yu Yuxi? He fell in love at first sight and fell in love with her. He hurried into the palace to propose to the queen, fearing that he would lose the beauty if it was too late." Feng Yu raised the corner of his mouth and said with interest.
Yu Xijiao curled her lips and sarcastically said, "This reason seems to be true!"
"It has nothing to do with the second sister, I just don't want to marry into the palace." Yu Xijiao said in a low voice. It has nothing to do with anyone, the royal family, and her grandfather's family. There seems to be a string hooked here. She doubts that this matter has anything to do with the royal family, or with the royal family.
The harem is related.
She couldn't tell anyone about this suspicion.
"I'm afraid there are some things that are not up to you." Feng Yu's voice was a little soft in the darkness, "Your Xuanping Marquis Mansion is bound to have a princess."
"Why?" Yu Xijiao was stunned, and her eyes raised involuntarily.
"Xuanpinghou Mansion is very good." Feng Yu said meaningfully.
Yu Xijiao looked at Feng Yu with unblinking eyes, "Please tell me, Prince."
"Think about it carefully. If the position of the prince's concubine falls to Yu Yuxi, it will never fall to you again. After all, it is impossible for the same palace to have two princes and concubines. Of course, the prince's side concubine is also possible.
With the names of An and the eldest princess, it is okay for the two granddaughters to marry into the royal family."
Feng Yu said with a smile, "If Yu Yuxi is the prince and concubine, your useless father may not be able to protect you."
Yu Xijiao's heart tightened. This was indeed something she was considering now. She pursed her lips but said nothing.
She seemed to be the only one in the quiet room.
After a while, Yu Xijiao shook her head and strengthened her resolve: "Yu Yuxi can be a concubine."
"Feng Lanxiu has already gone to the palace to ask for the order. You are a little daughter of a marquis, what else can you do? Is it possible that you still want to go to the palace to lobby the queen?"
Maybe he thought of something fun, and Feng Yu smiled happily.
"The prince probably doesn't want my second sister to be Princess Duan, right?" Yu Xijiao waited for him to finish laughing, then said softly, she had been here during the day and returned at night, but she didn't come here just for something special.
"Yes, this prince would hate to see Feng Lanxiu happy." Feng Yu said.
"Why does the Crown Prince... dislike Prince Duan so much?" Yu Xijiao blurted out her words, and only after she finished speaking did she realize that her question was nonsense.
"Your Majesty, you can take my word for it and don't ask any questions."
"It doesn't matter if you ask. When my prince was young, Feng Lanxiu bullied me a lot. Before my prince left the capital, he was raised by his grandmother. These princes... are all sweet-faced and bitter-hearted." Feng Yu couldn't help it.
The way of thinking.
Yu Xijiao was speechless for a moment. When she was a child? This reason was really powerful and left people speechless.
"What can the prince do?" Yu Xijiao finally asked this question. She left and came back again, which shows that the prince attaches great importance to this matter.
"It's up to you." Feng Yu stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed Yu Xijiao's head maliciously, and directly pushed Yu Xijiao's head into the quilt.
"I can't help it." Yu Xijiao's muffled voice came out from under the quilt.
"You do!" Feng Yu said leisurely, "After the Queen's decree is issued, the Imperial Grandmother will send someone to announce your admission to the palace and meet you."
Yu Xijiao's eyes were burning, and she finally poked her head out from under the quilt, but she had to suppress the anger in her heart, "Your Majesty, can I just bear witness?"
"Okay!" Feng Yu said with a smile, turned around and walked towards the window, pressed his hand on the window sill and jumped out.
Seeing him leaving, Yu Xijiao walked to the window helplessly, closed the window again, returned to bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she reached out and pressed her eyebrows.
If Yu Yuxi were Princess Duan, the first person she would have to deal with would be herself.
What happened last night is almost irrefutable. In the end, my father did nothing to Qian. Especially after Mrs. Qian passed the house, I heard that my father had a very good attitude. This Mrs. Qian had a life-saving grace for her father.
This life-saving grace is enough to ensure that her daughter secures her position as Mrs. Xuanpinghou.
Even if he didn't care about Qian, for Mrs. Qian's sake, it was impossible for his father to really divorce Qian.
Is this Mrs. Qian really so kind and kind?
It always feels very inconsistent.
She had experienced this sense of disobedience with Chu Zihan in her previous life. In her previous life, she had taken it lightly, thinking that relying on her grandfather and father, even if Chu Zihan had some thoughts, it would be nothing.
Marquis Xuanping is just an inconspicuous lord. Compared with the previous Marquis of Zhengyuan, the Marquis of Xuanping has never been promising!
But why did Feng Yu imply that the royal family was eyeing the Xuanpinghou Mansion, what did it mean that a princess was bound to be born, and what did the Xuanping Mansion have that the royal family could plot?
In her last life, Yu Lanxuan only knew that Marquis Xuanping was born to Princess An and the eldest daughter, and knew nothing else. She only occasionally heard her father lament that Marquis Xuanping did not have the spirit of the old Marquis Xuanping when he mentioned it.
There's nothing else to say.
Now that I think about it, there is a special meaning in my father's sigh. What is it about the Xuanping Hou Mansion that makes the princes so interested...
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Yu Xijiao raised her head and looked at the door.
"Girl, are you awake?" Mingyue's voice came from the door, and there was a faint light.
"Come in!" Yu Xijiao said.
Mingyue opened the door and walked in with a lantern. She first looked at Yu Xijiao on the bed and saw that she was sitting properly on the bed. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. She raised the lantern and looked around the room.
"Already gone." Yu Xijiao said.
Mingyue was shocked: "Girl, who is she?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Qi." Yu Xijiao said calmly.
Mingyue put the lantern on the table, picked up the fire and folded it, lit the lamp on the table, looked at Yu Xijiao's face carefully, and saw that her expression was as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern: "Miss
,Is everything okay?"
She came over when she heard a faint sound.
"Mingyue, do you know some old things about the Xuanping Hou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao looked at the lights motionlessly and asked leisurely. "I don't know much about it. I only heard that the Marquis... doesn't seem to have many holy relatives.
"Ming Yue whispered.
How come Marquis Xuanping, who has no holy family, is not very powerful, and is even rumored to be incompetent, only gets the blue eyes of the royal family.
King Duan came here this time because of Yu Yuxi. Yu Yuxi happened to appear. I'm afraid he also had this intention. He had already discussed it long ago. The so-called love at first sight was more like two people planning the matter together. However, judging from his father's appearance just now, it was not
I like Yu Yuxi to become Princess Duan.
Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian should like her. They probably know about Yu Yuxi's affairs and are working hard to promote it!
My grandmother and father didn't like it, and my father was still trying to find ways to stop the marriage.
If the Empress does not issue an edict, there is a possibility that the marriage will change. It is really hard to say what the final outcome will be. Grandma may not be able to change the royal decision...
After Yu Xijiao was "sick" for a few days, she recovered, and Yu Ruiwen let her go out. This time it was for Yu Zhuqing's two shops.
One of them is Xiuzhuang.
The two shops have been losing money, and now Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing are looking at the accounts of the two shops. They asked to go out of the house to ask questions at the shop. Yu Ruiwen originally refused, but his bones softened when he saw the youngest daughter complaining about her illness.
, wanted to go out and have a look, but Yu Ruiwen still agreed without any principle.
Marquis Xuanping had been calm these past few days, nothing happened. There was no marriage proposal from the Queen, and there were no other changes. Qian was quietly recuperating in the yard, and there was no more trouble with Yao'ezi.
Aunt Zhou is in charge of the affairs of the house and is very dedicated, although some aspects are still not satisfactory. Some old people in the Xuanpinghou Mansion look down upon her status as aunt. Fortunately, Yu Ruiwen is now on Aunt Zhou's side, and Yu
Xi Jiao and Yu Zhuqing helped Aunt Zhou take charge of the affairs, and the servants in the mansion did not dare to cause trouble.
Early in the morning, the two sisters took the maid into a carriage, and the carriage went all the way to the mansion. What they wanted to see today was Xiuzhuang.
Yu Zhuqing has not been out of the house for a long time. This time, she was in a much better mood. She and Yu Xijiao were sitting in a carriage. They raised the curtain outside and only lowered the screen window inside, looking inside from the outside.
, you can’t see anything, but looking from the inside to the outside, it’s relatively clear.
The carriage arrived and stopped in a nearby alley. Yu Xijiao and Yu Zhuqing got off the carriage wearing draped hats and turned to the street. After walking a few steps, they saw the plaque on the shop in front of them, "Jinyixiuzhuang".
The large character looks very impressive, and there are many guests coming and going inside.
Business should be good.
As soon as we entered the door, a waiter came over and asked with a smile: "Do you two girls want to look to the right or to the left?"
"What's the difference between the left and the right?" Mingyue asked.
"On the left are some clothing accessories, buckles and the like, as well as some handkerchiefs and sachets. On the right are clothes, both ready-made and not ready-made. Of course, you can also customize them directly here. Not only can you choose the clothing materials, but you can also embroider them.
Choose a specialized embroiderer to embroider the girls’ favorite patterns.”
"Sister?" Yu Xijiao looked at Yu Zhuqing.
Although Yu Zhuqing was the master, it was his first time here. He glanced at the customers in the store and said, "Third sister, let's decide!"
Even if she doesn't care about business, she can tell from this look that the business of this embroidery shop is really good, so good...is it really that it has been losing money?
