Liuxiang, who was still about to say something, was pushed forward by Feiyu.
"We're here, hurry in and don't forget your great and arduous task. I believe you can do it!"
When Yuan Yixiao heard the noise, she thought it was Yan Mingzhu who was back, so she jumped over and ran over.
"cousin……"
As a result, the one who bumped head-on was Liu Xiang.
"Cousin girl."
Yuan Yi looked back with a smile, "It's so late, why didn't my cousin come back with you? Did something unexpected happen at the polo match today?"
Upon hearing this, the senator's wife also stood up, "Liuxiang, what happened to Zhuzhu?"
Liu Xiang hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, the girl is very good, but... I just had to do some things, so I stayed at the Dingbei Prince's Mansion for the past two days. His Highness, the Dingbei Prince, was afraid that the old lady would worry you, so he specially asked the slave to come back.
Say."
What, Yan Mingzhu lived in Dingbei Prince's Mansion again? It's okay to say it once, but it's not quite right these two or three times, right?
However, the senator's wife didn't say anything more. She just said that she understood and asked Liu Xiang to retreat.
Mrs. Yuan Er said with some worry: "Mother, why does His Highness King Dingbei let Zhuzhu stay in the palace one after another?"
"Could it be that... His Highness King Dingbei has taken a liking to our Zhuzhu?"
Mrs. Yuan Da put forward her guess, but Mrs. Yuan Er frowned after hearing it.
"Although His Royal Highness King Dingbei has been very kind to our Yuan family, his status is too valuable, and our Yuan family has not been cleared of charges. Will King Dingbei marry Zhuzhu as a royal concubine?"
Although their Yongyi Hou Mansion is in trouble now, the self-respect engraved in their bones will not be allowed to be trampled upon by anyone.
Yan Mingzhu is a girl from their Yuan family. Even if the Yuan family is unable to protect themselves now, they will never surrender their status and become a concubine just for the sake of clinging to a dragon and a phoenix.
"King Dingbei is His Majesty's favorite prince. It will be very difficult for His Majesty to agree to Xu Zhuzhu's position as Concubine. We Zhuzhu have suffered so much before. If we are involved in the palace dispute again, what will happen in the future?"
How can I live my life?
Mother, Zhuzhu listens to you the most. When she comes back, you must advise her carefully not to be impulsive when it comes to marriage. We don't ask for wealth, we only hope that she can spend her life happily and peacefully.
"
If the Yongyi Hou Mansion had not been implicated in collaborating with the enemy, they would not be so opposed to this marriage.
Even though Qi Jue's status is noble, the Marquis Mansion is not a vegetarian.
But now, there are only a group of old, weak, sick, women and children left in the Hou Mansion. If Yan Mingzhu is wronged in the Dingbei Palace in the future, they will not be able to rush to seek justice for her.
Yan Mingzhu had an unfortunate marriage before, so Mrs. Yuan Da and the others only hoped that if Yan Mingzhu got married again in the future, they would be fine as long as they could live a stable life.
The senator's wife didn't say much. She just raised her hand and said, "Zhuzhu is a very independent person. She won't act impulsively. I will talk to her when I have time. Don't worry. Let's go back and rest."
While Mrs. Yuan and the others were talking, Yuan Yixiao secretly pulled Liu Xiang aside.
"Liu Xiang, is it true that my cousin stayed at the Dingbei Prince's Mansion to do something? Didn't His Highness the Dingbei Prince like my cousin, so he deliberately stayed at the Prince's Mansion?"
Liu Xiang was shocked, "How did you know, cousin?"
"His Royal Highness King Dingbei really likes my cousin? Oh my god, I thought Young Master Zhuang was joking with me, but I didn't expect it to be true. My cousin is so powerful. She won the man that all the women in the capital wanted to marry most with just one move.
, she is indeed a cousin!”
Liu Xiang: "..."
Cousin, is your focus misplaced?
"Then did His Highness King Dingbei say when he would come to propose marriage? We agreed in advance. My cousin is the apple of our family's eye. If it weren't for the ten-mile red makeup and eight-carriage sedan chair, we wouldn't agree!"
This cousin's thinking was running too fast. She had already thought of proposing marriage even before she even wrote her horoscope.
"Cousin, this should be just the unilateral meaning of His Highness King Dingbei, but I don't know what the girl means, and I feel that although His Highness Dingbei King has a noble status, in comparison, he is still a member of the Ming family.
More suitable for girls.”
Yuan Yixiao was still thinking about Shili Hongzhuang, but when she heard Liu Xiang mentioning the Ming family, she looked confused.
"Ming family? Are you talking about the left prime minister? Is there any connection between my cousin and the Ming family?"
Yuan Yixiao was trapped in the mansion, so naturally she didn't know about the turbulent changes outside. Liu Xiang gave a general account of the fact that the Ming family valued Yan Mingzhu and wanted to marry her as the eldest wife of the Ming family.
Yuan Yixiao became energetic after hearing this magical story. She even dragged Liu Xiang to her room, put melon seeds and tea on the table, and made it look like they would have a long conversation all night long.
"There are so many stories that happened between my cousin and the Ming family. My cousin didn't tell me. It's really unsatisfying. The eldest son of the Ming family, Ming Xingjian, is also an outstanding capable person. He became the first scholar at the age of eighteen.
But what about the youngest number one scholar in the history of Jokhang? Well, one is an outstanding prince of the Tian family, and the other is a role model for a noble family. Both are good, can we have both?"
If adults don’t do multiple-choice questions, of course they will all be included in the harem!
Liu Xiang twitched the corner of her mouth, "...Cousin, you can't say this in front of the old lady, otherwise you will be beaten."
"I understand, I'm just joking, but starting from today, I have to cheer up and check for my cousin. If you want to marry your cousin, you must first pass my test. Don't worry, I will choose a suitable husband for my cousin.
Leave the arduous task to me!"
Looking at Yuan Yixiao's vow, why does Liu Xiang have an ominous premonition?
Dingbei Palace.
Yan Mingzhu sat on the warm couch, opened the bottle cap, and was about to apply medicine to her ankles, when there was a knock on the door at the same time.
"have you slept?"
It's Qi Jue's voice.
"No, is there something wrong, Your Highness?"
Qi Jue did not answer immediately, but opened the door and walked in.
"The Western Regions sent some cantaloupe as tribute. It tastes good. Do you want to try it?"
Qi Jue personally brought the fruit over and placed it on the low table, then naturally took the ointment from Yan Mingzhu's hand.
"You eat the melon, don't get your hands dirty, I will give you some medicine."
Yan Mingzhu arched her eyebrows and said with a deep smile, "How embarrassing is this."
She said she was embarrassed, but in action she reached out and picked up the cantaloupe cut into a crescent shape.
After taking a bite, Yan Mingzhu's eyes instantly became more sweet, "It's so sweet and delicious!"
Qi Jue raised his eyes slightly and looked at her holding the cantaloupe, smiling and raising her thin lips.
Without stopping, he gently applied the ointment to the still somewhat red and swollen ankle.
"If you like it, I will ask someone to prepare it every day. The most important thing in the palace is food. It will not be a problem to feed you."
