Everyone nodded and kicked the iron plate. It was reasonable to give in.
"Then, half of the promised family property will be given as medical fee."
"No!" Ye Hongyi's second sentence was immediately refuted by everyone.
"Absolutely not!" Several grandsons of Lord Ye Guo said in unison, very excited.
They have no ability, so they just hope to get more share of the family property. Now they want to give half of it, and no one can agree to it.
"Shut up!"
The old Duke roared, full of energy, and his energy and spirit recovered well.
But he still coughed.
"Ahem... Hongyi, please continue speaking, and no one can interrupt him again, or I will break his legs!"
Everyone shrank their necks, their deep respect for the old man being activated.
Ye Hongyi nodded and looked at Ye Linger in the crowd:
"We have already offended Divine Doctor Fang. Even if we have passed this hurdle now, once he gains power in the future, he will probably trick us..."
"An apology cannot solve this hidden danger...unless..."
"Unless what?" The old man is also worried about this!
He knew his body, and even if he lived for only a few years, the emperor would no longer have to worry about his face.
If someone takes action against the Ye family, the emperor will not care.
Ye Hongyi glanced at Ye Ling'er: "Unless, as Ling'er said before, let him marry Fang Jue... In this way, the interests of both parties will be combined, and he will be embarrassed to take action against the Ye family."
"What?" Ye Ling'er was confused. She didn't expect to send herself out anyway.
She subconsciously objected, but before she could say anything, she heard the old man say: "Huh? This is a great plan!"
What frightened her was that this time, no one objected.
Even the mother's eyes lit up and she nodded happily.
Fangjue, this person will definitely be noticed by the emperor!
Before, he was just a commoner with medical skills, so everyone in the Ye family naturally looked down upon him.
But now that this person has potential and a bright future...then we have to think about it differently.
At least, the Ye family should not lose money.
In the eyes of the big family, some things are calculated so straightforwardly.
"Sister, how can this be done!" Ye Linger looked aggrieved.
Ye Hongyi said: "You promised it yourself, and you used it to humiliate Mr. Fang. This is the only way the matter can be resolved!"
After many years in the Xuanjian Division, Ye Hongyi is naturally not a good person. She understands what interests are and what justice is.
This matter is beneficial to Li, so Ye Linger should be married to Fang Jue.
Only in this way can we try to dispel Fang Jue's anger and integrate him with the Ye family, so that it will not be detrimental to the Ye family in the future.
Moreover, the Ye family can also use this to place a bet in advance on a promising young man!
"That's it!" The old man waved his hand and settled the marriage.
He said to Ye Hongyi: "Go and discuss with Mr. Fang, stabilize him first, and then go and ask your Majesty for marriage after I recover..."
"That's good..." Ye Gong smiled, very satisfied.
"It's very good. It also saves Ling'er from being caught between those princes and accidentally getting involved in the seizure of the legitimate son, which will make the Ye family doomed..."
"Yes, yes, it's really the best way..."
Everyone's words stopped Ye Ling'er from talking. She felt aggrieved, and even more aggrieved that her family didn't care about her grievances.
then.
After Ye Hongyi left, Ye Linger handed a piece of letter to her maid.
"Send to Prince Qin's Mansion..."
She must secure a splendid future for herself. How can a white-clothed man with an uncertain future compare to the noble royal relatives?
On weekdays, Ye Ling'er wandered among several princes, and she was friends with the King of Qin, the King of Wei, and the King of Jin.
She felt that King Qin was more likely to become a great treasure in the future, so she was more devoted to him. But for the sake of safety, she never responded seriously. After all, no one knew who would be named the prince.
Bet too early and you will regret it if you make a mistake.
But now Ye Ling'er has no choice. She can't wait and must get married as soon as possible before her grandfather asks His Majesty to grant a marriage.
Fortunately, there are no rumors outside that he has misunderstood about marrying Fang Jue. What outsiders know is that the Ye family wants to give away half of the family property.
…
Prince Qin's Mansion.
"What, you said Ling'er agreed?" Qin King Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he saw Ye Ling'er's maid.
Because the maid brought a piece of letter, which was full of responses to King Qin’s past feelings.
He also hinted to him that he should ask His Majesty to grant the marriage as soon as possible, so as to celebrate the happiness of the old Duke and fulfill the filial piety of his children and grandchildren.
After confirming again and again that it was Ye Ling'er's handwriting, King Qin simply couldn't control his joy.
As a prince who was in the process of winning the title of heir, the King of Qin naturally would not forget his nature for the sake of a woman.
But Ye Ling'er is really beautiful... and the King of Qin also valued the power of Ye Guo Gong's mansion represented by Ye Ling'er, especially Ye Guo Gong's prestige in the military.
Now that Duke Ye Guo cannot die, as long as Duke Ye Guo stands on his side... King Qin believes that he will have a better chance of ascending to that throne.
Of course...he really likes Ye Linger.
After all, she has fair skin, good looks, long legs, and a family background. What normal man can't resist being tempted by her.
"Your Majesty, my young lady said that the old prince is already looking for a husband for her... If you are too slow, she will become someone else's wife... I will resign..."
After the maid left, King Qin said coldly: "No one can steal Ling'er from me!"
"I'm going to beg my father right now... No, it won't work. I'd better go see my mother and concubine first..."
…
Yangju Hall.
Xiao Pingsi was working on the memorial when Wang Feng came from a distance.
"Your Majesty, according to the order you have decided, it's time for Concubine Shu to go to bed today...but Concubine Shu suddenly felt unwell, and Concubine Xian..."
Wang Feng didn't say much. After reporting the matter, he took away all the eunuchs in the palace, leaving two maids to serve him.
A gust of fragrant wind blew in, and Concubine Xian came in slowly, dressed exquisitely.
"Is Concubine Shu really sick?" After Concubine Xian came in, Xiao Ping asked without raising his head.
Xiao Pingsi is not stupid. His imperial doctor has the physical condition of all his concubines and knows who is sick and who is not.
Concubine Xian is a smart person, so she decided to do it immediately:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my concubine who begged Concubine Shu to exchange lives with me..."
"What did you use to get Concubine Shu to agree to change her life?" Xiao Pingsi asked.
"It's a jar of old wine given by my concubine's mother's family, the daughter's red wine for more than thirty years..." Concubine Xian said truthfully.
The corner of Xiao Pingsi's mouth twitched: "This drunkard..."
His concubines all had their own personalities. This concubine was the most dissolute and liked to get drunk.
When I gave her the name Shu Fei, I just wanted her to be quieter, but she didn't listen at all. Now she is a famous wine concubine.
Xiao Pingsi nodded and did not ask any more questions, nor did he say anything about the crime of deceiving the emperor.
But Concubine Xian knows His Majesty very well. She knows that His Majesty still wants to know the reason for changing the date. This is also the reason for her coming.
So he walked up behind Xiao Pingsi, rubbed his shoulders, and said:
"Today, Chen'er sent the female family members of the palace to the palace to see my concubine. He said that he was in love with Ye Ling'er, the second lady of Ye Guogong's palace... When he learned that the Ye family wanted to find a husband for her, he was anxious to ask for a favor from your majesty.
Granted marriage..."
"Marriage?" Xiao Pingsi stopped. This was not an ordinary marriage contract, and he had to treat it carefully.
"Yes, Chen'er said that the old Duke has just recovered from a serious illness, so he can use this opportunity to cheer him up. Maybe he will recover faster when he is happy..."
"This..." Xiao Pingsi naturally knew what Queen Qin and her son were planning.
This is not a simple marriage.
But he also had many considerations. Although the Ye Guogong Palace did not have much real power, it had great symbolic significance, and the royal family should win over it.
Early on, Xiao Pingsi had the idea of granting a marriage to her...but Ye Hongyi already had an official position and was a role model for female officials, so she couldn't force it.
Ye Ling'er was too tactful and had friendships with several princes. Xiao Pingsi didn't know who she liked.
If she were an ordinary woman, a marriage would be a great favor, but as the granddaughter of Duke Ye was not short of wealth, a marriage easily could alienate the monarch and his ministers.
You must know Ye Ling'er's wishes.
"Chen'er and Ye Ling'er...are they really in love?" Xiao Pingsi felt that Concubine Xian did not dare to lie to him, but he was afraid that she would be cheated by her own son.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian handed over a letter, which was written by Ye Linger to the King of Qin.
"Your Majesty, please read this, this is Ye Ling'er's private message to Chen'er..."
"How can I read this junior's private message..." Xiao Pingsi waved his hand and glanced at it.
"All the children in the world are His Majesty's children. As a king and father, what should you not see?" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
Xiao Pingsi stretched his eyebrows: "That's right..."
After reading the letter, Xiao Pingsi said: "Let that person from the Xuanjian Division... let him see if the handwriting is correct. If it is really a private letter written by Ye Ling'er..."
"Then I will decree a marriage to prevent such a good girl from being snatched away by others!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian thanked her excitedly.
…
The next day, Fangjiazhuang.
Ye Hongyi came early in the morning. It was already dark yesterday. Naturally, she couldn't come to Fangjiazhuang alone. She had to pay more attention to the reputation of her daughter's family.
She brought many gifts and said she was here to apologize.
The two chatted for a long time, and she managed to maintain a good attitude without being overbearing.
"Mr. Fang, don't worry. The Ye family will definitely keep their promise. Half of the family property is already in preparation and will be donated soon."
"And Ling'er, I hope Mr. Fang won't be angry with her. We have already advised her. After my grandfather recovers, he will ask your Majesty for marriage..."
Fang Jue was stunned: "What kind of marriage?"
"Sir, you are a genius. My sister Ling'er is very high-ranking. But don't worry, sir, Ling'er has a kind-hearted temperament..."
Fang Jue was confused by what she said.
Stop it, you're making it seem like I really coveted your sister and that's why I saved the old man!
At this moment, Dianyi stood outside the door with someone from Ye Mansion.
Fang Jue immediately changed the subject: "Is there someone coming to your house?"
"Yes..." Ye Hongyi saw the servants of the Ye family and said, "I'm sorry...what's the matter?"
A visitor from the Ye family smiled and said: "Miss, what a happy event, a great happy event!"
"The imperial decree came from the palace, Your Majesty has granted marriage to Miss Ling'er!"
Damn it!
So fast?
Fang Jue was shocked. Didn't he say that he would wait until the old man recovered before granting the marriage?
Is it too sudden?
I... what kind of wedding clothes should I prepare?
However, Ye Hongyi sensed something was wrong. She knew that her grandfather was currently in poor health and could not leave the house. It was impossible for others to intercede for such a big matter.
"Speak more carefully..." Ye Hongyi squeezed her sweat and looked at Fang Jue. She felt that things were getting worse.
A servant of the Ye Mansion said: "As soon as you left, Your Majesty sent Manager Wang to pass on the decree and granted a marriage to Miss Ye Ling'er to His Highness the King of Qin... Now our family is still related to the emperor..."
"Hey, Miss, what's wrong with you, Miss?"
Feeling embarrassed and having no face to face Fang Jue, Ye Hongyi immediately used the "faint escape" move and fainted from anger.
She knew that this was self-defeating. Fang Jue must have felt that he had been teased, and it would be even more difficult for the two parties to reconcile!
