"The princess from Dongyou moved directly into the Prince's Mansion?" In Uncle Situ's Mansion, a woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old was sitting in the piano room, looking up at the maid in front of her, "Has anyone seen the Prince?"
The maid lowered her head and replied: "The princess stayed in the Prince's Mansion last night, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince actually came back with Princess Dayong... I have never seen the true appearance of the Crown Prince, but my uncle yesterday
After he came back in the middle of the night, he got very angry and said that the General Wang had fooled him and was going too far..."
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman is Situ Wan, the legitimate daughter of the uncle's house. Just like her name, she has a graceful and graceful appearance, giving people a dignified and elegant feeling.
A light blue dress accentuates her slender figure and noble and aloof demeanor, like a white plum blooming on a branch.
However, when she heard what the maid said, her face slowly darkened: "The marriage has been confirmed?"
"Yes." The maid whispered, "I heard that the wedding will be held on the ninth day of the lunar month."
Situ Wan lowered his eyes and stared at the lyre in front of him. His fingertips fell on the strings and did not move for a long time: "Why did father say that he was fooled by the general?"
"I don't know for sure." The maid looked more and more uneasy, "But just now a decree was sent to the palace, and the queen sent someone to summon Dayong's four dowry girls into the palace. She probably has something to say."
Situ Wan raised his eyes: "Summoned into the palace?"
"yes."
"Have you ever asked what the reason is?"
The maid shook her head: "I just heard about this. The sedan sent by the Queen has just picked up someone and is heading to the palace."
Just picked someone up?
Situ Wan counted the time and suddenly stood up: "Change, I will also enter the palace."
"yes."
As the eldest daughter of the uncle's house and the niece of the current queen, Situ Wan's status in the imperial capital is not much inferior to that of a princess, and she has obtained the queen's permission. At any time - as long as the key to the palace door is not locked, Situ Wan can do it at any time.
Enter the palace to see her.
Dongyou is a martial artist. Although Situ Wan is a woman, she has learned riding and shooting since she was a child. Now riding a horse into the palace is naturally much faster than those sedan chairs. Situ Wan ordered people to prepare the horse first, and she changed into a simple and convenient outfit.
He put on his clothes, went out, got on his horse, and quickly galloped towards the palace.
Entering Fengyi Palace, Situ Wan respectfully greeted the queen: "Auntie."
"Wan'er?" When the queen saw her arrival, a smile appeared on her face, "Come and sit."
"Thank you, aunt." Situ Wan walked to the queen and sat down, lowering her head and remaining silent.
"The prince is back." The queen's tone was a little indifferent, "It's a pity that I am not close to you."
"Auntie, don't be sad. My cousin has been living abroad for many years. When he came back, he was still a stranger to the emperor and his aunt." Situ Wan comforted her softly, "Besides, the blood relationship cannot be erased. We will be together for a long time in the future.
, when my cousin sees how kind his aunt is to him, he will naturally understand that his aunt has a motherly heart."
The queen nodded slightly: "I hope so."
"Auntie." Situ Wan lowered his eyes, "How pretty is the Princess Yong?"
"What's the point of being pretty? Can you eat it?" When mentioning Yun Zishu, the Queen's face turned cold, with displeasure on her face, "Don't worry, Wan'er, the identity of the Crown Princess will still be yours sooner or later."
Situ Wan remained silent.
Does the aunt's reaction prove that the princess is indeed good-looking? Is she prettier than her? She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at riding and shooting. Is she capable of protecting herself?
A gloomy look flashed across Situ Wan's eyes, and he looked quietly at his hands on his knees.
"The marriage between Dayong and Dongyou is the crown prince's request. In order to maintain good relations between the two countries, the emperor cannot break up with Dayong's envoy for the time being, so Yun Zishu can temporarily be the crown princess for a while." The queen held Situ Wan in her hands.
He gently patted the back of her hand with his hand, "When the envoy of Dayong leaves, the prince will truly integrate into the Dongyou royal family. Slowly, he will see the goodness of the ladies of Dongyou, and he will definitely agree to let you become the emperor."
Prince's Mansion."
Situ Wan said nothing. She had an uneasy feeling that the prince who had just returned from Dayong might not be an easy person to talk to.
If he was easy to control, the aunt would never compromise so easily. She made it clear at first that as long as the legitimate princess of Dayong arrived in Dongyou successfully and the prince was willing to come back, she would demote Princess Dayong to a concubine. However...
"Wan'er." The queen noticed that she was in a bad mood and felt a little guilty, "I'm not coaxing you, but the Crown Prince's attitude is indeed tough, but don't worry, even if the position of Crown Princess belongs to her, Yun Zishu, Dongyou will be hers in the future.
The position of queen must also be yours. How grand is the wedding ceremony on the ninth day of the lunar month, your conquest ceremony in the future will be ten times more grand."
Situ Wan nodded lightly: "If the prince's cousin doesn't like me, aunt doesn't have to force it -"
"The Queen." The palace attendant walked in, knelt down and reported, "The four princesses of Dayong have arrived."
"Wan'er, you go to the inner hall to take shelter." The Queen ordered, "I will talk to them later. Please listen carefully. Maybe some of them can be used by you."
Situ Wan was a little surprised that someone was being used by her? Does it mean that these people from Dayong will also fight among themselves?
"Yes." Situ Wan stood up, saluted the queen, turned and walked to the inner hall.
The queen straightened her expression and said in a majestic tone: "Let them come in."
"yes."
Not long after, Wu Jingyi, Yun Baozhu, Gu Qingyan and Tang Qiao walked in from the outside under the guidance of the palace servants. When they saw the queen sitting on the phoenix chair, they knelt down respectfully and saluted: "My lord, see you.
The queen is a thousand years old."
The queen looked at the four people in front of her, and she didn't know if she was deliberately trying to show off her power. She didn't ask anyone to get up, but said lightly: "Do you know why I have told you that you came to the palace?"
"Please express it clearly, the Queen."
"The prince is about to get married. The only person he wants to marry is Yun Zishu, the legitimate princess of Dayong. No one else will be able to enter his prince's palace." The queen's tone was calm, with a hint of indifference, "So I will give you four
Refer to a new marriage."
The four of them were probably mentally prepared in advance, so they didn't react much when they heard the Queen's words. They listened with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and no one said anything.
"But before we get married, I have something to ask you." The queen picked up the tea cup and slowly and gently scraped the tea foam with the tea lid. The delicate armor reflected the cold luster, "Envoy of Dongyou
When I went to Dayong to welcome the bride, I sent two nuns to teach the princess and you the rules, but these two nuns disappeared... I want to know why they disappeared? "
Gu Qingyan closed her eyes and said nothing.
Tang Qiao knelt quietly.
Wu Jingyi frowned and was about to speak when Yun Baozhu, who was next to her, had already spoken first: "Queen, Grandma Yan died at the hands of the maid next to the princess."
