Chapter three hundred and thirty-one, a gift from the big brother
Yu Ruiwen hurried to his youngest daughter's Yaoshui Pavilion.
As soon as he saw his little daughter after entering the door, Yu Ruiwen sighed, sat down with a sad face, took the tea from Qingyue, picked it up, wanted to drink it for a while, and then put it down heavily.
"Father?" Yu Xi said softly.
"Your grandmother said...she agreed to this matter." Yu Ruiwen said angrily, "Your grandmother is so confused, how could she believe it?"
"Father, what did grandma say?" Yu Xijiao was also curious.
"Your grandmother said that the Crown Prince of Qi promised not to marry again." Yu Ruiwen stamped his foot angrily, "Can you believe this? The Crown Prince of Qi, the legitimate son of King Qi, and is of royal blood, how could he say that he would never marry again?
It is not up to him to decide whether to marry or not, so how can he feel that he is sincere?"
Yu Ruiwen felt that his mother was really confused this time. He would not believe this kind of thing even for ordinary families, let alone the royal family, unless their whole family inherited such a tradition. But in fact, even ordinary aristocratic families
, there are many three wives and four concubines, never marry twice.
Never marry again?
Yu Xijiao smiled, the corners of her lips raised slightly, with a hint of cold ridicule. This was really not the first time she heard these words, the last time was from Chu Zihan.
Due to Chu Zihan's identity, he was not worthy of him at that time. There were many people asking for marriage, but his mother and father finally chose Xin Kangbo Mansion. It was because of his words that he would never marry again that his mother agreed to the matter.
It didn't matter to her at the time, she could marry anyone. Her grandfather also said that her father had a high position and there was no need to choose someone with a noble status. It would be better to be ordinary. As long as the family background was clean and the character was good, it would be fine.
I just didn't expect that so many changes would happen next. The so-called never marrying again sounds like a joke now.
If you take it to heart, you will lose.
"Father, since my grandmother agreed to this..." Yu Xijiao lowered her head slightly and said with a shy look.
"Hutu, your grandmother is really a fool. Can you believe this absolute marriage casually?" Yu Ruiwen was angry and anxious. Seeing that his little daughter was about to believe this, even his mother immediately dared to say it and stamped her feet.
He stamped his feet and said, "He is the eldest son of Prince Qi. Even if he really has such an idea, how can he guarantee that he will never marry again? Can Prince Qi agree, can the emperor agree, or can the Queen Mother agree?"
"What does father mean?" Yu Xijiao raised her head and asked.
Yu Ruiwen choked for a moment, then said: "We have to discuss this matter in the long run."
"What do you think father thinks is a long-term plan?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
Yu Ruiwen paused again when he said this. He just had no choice but to discuss it with his younger daughter. Suddenly he realized that he was asking his younger daughter to discuss it. What could the younger daughter understand? He was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment. No matter how smart the younger daughter was,
, there is nothing I can do about this kind of thing, and my mother agreed to it.
"It would be best if Prince Qi can take the initiative to cancel this terrible proposal." Yu Ruiwen said vaguely.
"Then what does father think we should do?" Yu Xijiao blinked and asked.
Yu Ruiwen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and sighed sadly: "We have to find someone who can speak in front of Prince Qi... If Prince Qi never mentions this matter again, this matter will be considered over, but now
It’s about who is suitable and who can be used as a lobbyist to make Prince Qi feel that this marriage is inappropriate..."
Speaking of this, Yu Ruiwen suddenly thought, isn't King Duan a suitable candidate?
He slammed the table hard, his frown cleared, and he laughed loudly: "I have chosen someone to be my father. You just wait here while I look for someone to think of something for you."
As he spoke, he stood up.
"Father, do you want to find Prince Duan??" Yu Xijiao raised her long eyelashes and asked with a smile, "Father, this is inappropriate."
"Why?" Yu Ruiwen, who was about to stand up, looked at his little daughter in shock.
"Father, now the second sister's marriage has been arranged. She is the concubine of Prince Duan's palace, right?" Yu Xi asked with a sweet smile.
"Yes, there is nothing we can do about your second sister's marriage..." Yu Ruiwen thought of his second daughter's affairs again, and felt guilty again.
"Is father satisfied with the second sister's marriage?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.
Yu Ruiwen pulled his head down and shook his head helplessly. How could he be satisfied? Even if he had to marry into Prince Duan's palace, with his daughter's identity, she could become Princess Duan no matter what, but now she had to succumb to others. He wanted to see his daughter in the future.
If it's not convenient, how could he, a father, be satisfied?
The guilt is even worse.
"Father, since you are not very satisfied with the second sister's marriage, now you have invited Prince Duan here. If others don't know, they will only think that your father is very satisfied with the second sister's marriage, so you can't wait to invite Prince Duan here, and maybe even
Some people say that my father might be doing something to help the second sister, so he invites Prince Duan here for no reason. Father, do you think it’s appropriate?"
Yu Xijiao said implicitly.
The biological father of a concubine couldn't wait to invite Prince Duan to the palace after the marriage was arranged. No matter how he looked at it, he was helping his daughter to maintain his favor, or to help his daughter to please Prince Duan. No matter how he thought about it, Yu Ruiwen was worried.
Not happy, but also bad for Yu Yuxi’s reputation.
"Then I'll go visit Prince Duan." Yu Ruiwen said angrily.
"Father, even if you go, it won't be of much use. Do you think Prince Qi is someone who can be persuaded by Prince Duan?" Yu Xijiao asked back.
How did the Crown Prince of Qi treat Prince Duan? Some bad episodes appeared in Yu Ruiwen's mind. They were things about the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. At that time, the Crown Prince of Qi didn't give much face to Prince Duan. Yu Ruiwen witnessed this with his own eyes. Thinking of these things
, Yu Ruiwen immediately lost his temper.
Regardless of whether Prince Duan agreed or not, it was impossible for Prince Duan to persuade him just by looking at Prince Qi's appearance. He had only thought of Prince Duan's identity just now and not thought of anything else, which was not a thorough consideration.
"Hey!" Yu Ruiwen rested his head on his hands and sighed heavily.
"Father, it's not impossible, but you have to find a suitable reason to try. Maybe it will work." Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes twice, and then suddenly changed her words, "Although it's unlikely, it's possible.
It’s even more impossible if you don’t try.”
"Yes, yes, that's the truth, but how do you find a suitable reason?" Yu Ruiwen nodded, thinking to himself.
"Father, actually there is a good reason now." Yu Xi said with a smile.
"What's the reason?" Yu Ruiwen's head was in a mess. Now his mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything.
"About Mrs. Zhou, father, don't you plan to hold a banquet for Mrs. Zhou and officially clear Mrs. Zhou's name? Although people in the house know about this, people outside the house don't know." Yu Xijiao reminded.
"Oh, it's true." Yu Ruiwen has been busy lately and no one reminded him, so he really forgot about it for a while. In his opinion, Mrs. Zhou is already an equal wife, and the genealogy has been changed, but seriously
The ceremony was not carried out. In the eyes of others, Mrs. Zhou was just an aunt.
"Father, why don't you take advantage of this matter and make a good deal with it? If Prince Duan is serious about it, he will definitely come to our house. I heard that Prince Duan even came to our house specially for the sake of my eldest brother." Yu Xi smiled sweetly.
"Yes... yes, this matter must be done, it must be done in a big way, and it must be done in a big way." Yu Ruiwen stood up and laughed loudly. The bigger the event, the more likely the King will come over. Even though he is an equal wife,
But she is also a wife, so King Duan has to come and show his face no matter what. This is an honest matter, and it will not bring bad topics to the second daughter.
Something that kills two birds with one stone.
Smiling, the smile suddenly disappeared, and Yu Ruiwen frowned again: "Jiao'er, your eldest brother is injured."
"How's the injury?" Yu Xijiao was stunned and asked hurriedly.
"It's okay to be injured. I heard it's nothing serious. Your eldest brother even sent a boy here. He just changed the schedule and has to recover from his injuries before he can come back." Yu Ruiwen was worried again, "Your eldest brother always likes to report good news but not bad news, and he doesn't
You know whether the injury is really good or the injury is bad.”
"Father, are you still happy to see me?" Yu Xi asked softly.
"The boy is doing well and looks good. My father thought the same way at the time. It shouldn't be a big deal, but your eldest brother... is at the border, and King Yi is also there. My father is worried... your eldest brother is influenced by Yi Wang.
." Yu Ruiwen sighed, he really didn't want his eldest son to get involved with King Yi.
"Father, my eldest brother has been alone at the border for so many years and has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. Nothing serious will happen." Yu Xijiao comforted Yu Ruiwen.
"That's best. Your eldest brother may send you some gifts later. Your second sister is arranging this matter. My father is going to prepare the banquet now." Yu Ruiwen warned, this time he really wanted to leave.
"Best farewell to father." Yu Xijiao stood up.
Yu Ruiwen waved his hand to her, indicating that she didn't need to see him off, and strode out.
Yu Xijiao sat down again, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She looked out the window thoughtfully. Outside the courtyard door, Yu Ruiwen left in a hurry.
Although this cheap father has little ability, he truly cares for his daughter. The smile on his lips slowly spread to his eyes.
The person sent by Yu Yuxi to deliver the gifts arrived shortly after Yu Ruiwen left. There were two women. The first one was the steward woman, and the latter one was the envoy woman. She was carrying a gift box with a thin layer on it.
The gift Xijiao received this time.
"The two ingredients are said to be different from those in the capital. The prince got them from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Some medicinal materials were used by the prince to replenish the body of the third girl. Hearing that the third girl was not accustomed to the climate after arriving in the capital, the prince specially bought them from the Southern Tang Dynasty at a high price.
I purchased some medicinal materials and it is said that these medicines are very good for those who are acclimatized."
The stewardess explained, and asked the caretaker behind her to deliver the gift box, followed by a letter.
The seal was left open without sealing, and was placed on top of the gift.
"How is brother's health?" Yu Xijiao was not in a hurry to receive the letter, she raised her eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty's health is fine, please rest assured." The housekeeper said with a smile, then took a step back, "Third Miss, I have to go to give gifts to Madam, so I went back first. The gifts the Prince gave to Madam are
