Chapter 152 Impulse is the Devil
Feng Zhaolian expressed dissatisfaction with this: "Ayan, you are so mean. We finally got a fun little maid, but you sent her away with just a few words? She even went to accompany the emperor, but what's the point of having a little emperor who hasn't even grown all his hair? She left us two beauties alone, what the hell is she doing to relieve the emperor's boredom?"
Ye Wenyan didn't want to pay attention to her, and even rolled his eyes. However, Feng Zhaolian was quite good at rolling his eyes, and after a few rounds, he easily took the lead, making Ye Wenyan's eyes hurt.
Quan Qingcheng was very happy when he saw Zhuier walking towards him, because he often went to Yanhua Palace these days and always stayed with those people, so he felt very close to them.
Seeing Zhuier approaching and bowing to him in a proper manner, he also tried hard to hold back his laughter. After finally finishing the bow, he waved his hand and whispered, "Pei'er, come here quickly. I'm bored!" The little maid was very angry, "I told Zhuier not to mention Pei'er. Do you have Pei'er in your heart, so you always say Pei'er Pei'er?" Although she said so, she still walked towards Quan Qingcheng and finally stopped one step away from him. "Can I stand here? Is this distance in accordance with the rules?"
Quan Qingcheng said: "It's in accordance with the rules. You can even stand a little closer, so that it will be more convenient for me to talk to you."
"No, I'll just stand here. This is not Yanhua Palace. There are so many eyes watching us. If something bad gets out, it might get worse."
"Just spread it, I don't mind."
"I do mind." Zhuier glanced at him, "Although you are the emperor and I am just a maid, maids also need reputations. You can't ruin my reputation, or I won't be able to get married in the future."
"Tsk." Quan Qingcheng rolled his eyes at her. "Little girl, you have a lot to do. Hey, let me ask you, what are you doing here?"
He was used to talking to Zhuier, never addressing her as "I" but "I", which was a habit he developed in Yanhua Palace. After all, in a place like Yanhua Palace, with the Emperor above, no matter who went there, they would be slaves. Even the Emperor had to squat on the ground and plant flowers for Ye Wenyan, doing the same job as the eunuchs.
Zhuier looked at him for a while, then looked at her young lady who was sitting below, and pouted her lips and said, "It's not me who wants to come here, it's my young lady who asked me to come here. I don't know why my young lady asked me to come here to accompany you, but I will listen to her anyway. If you have any instructions, just tell me, and I will definitely accompany you well today."
Quan Qingcheng stroked his forehead, "Pei'er, please speak properly. What do you mean by accompany me well? Why does this sound so unreasonable?"
"Haha, my name is Zhuier. Want to listen to the tune? Sure!" She bowed to Quan Qingcheng in a proper manner, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will serve you well today."
"...Forget it, you are still unreasonable! The more you talk, the worse it gets." Quan Qingcheng was really helpless.
But it was pretty good. With Zhuier by his side, he stopped rolling his eyes at Feng Zhaolian and felt much better. Empress Dowager Yu saw this and was a little panicked. She thought to herself, "Miss Ye Si, please don't cheat me. You can't do it yourself, and your sister can't do it either. Are you going to get a maid? Isn't the status of a maid too low? How can she be worthy of the emperor?"
But think about it again, if I could just be a little concubine, able to talk to the emperor and make him happy, then that would be fine.
Queen Mother Yu felt relieved when she thought so. She looked at Zhuier a few more times and found that she was quite pleasing to the eye.
Maybe because she looked at him too many times, Zhuier felt something was wrong, so she leaned to the back of Quan Qingcheng and reminded him quietly: "Don't talk to me all the time, just watch the dance, otherwise the Queen Mother will keep looking at me and will misunderstand that there is something going on between you and me."
Quan Qingcheng waved his hands, "What can possibly happen between us? You're thinking too much."
"It's your mother who thinks too much. Anyway, you should just stop talking to me."
At the banquet below, Ye Hongzhuang was invited by the old lady of Ningguo Marquis' Mansion.
This year, in addition to Marquis Ningguo, the old lady of the Xiao family also entered the palace. However, the younger generations did not come, and neither did Lady Ningguo.
At this moment, Ye Hongzhuang was sitting next to Old Madam Xiao. No one knew what they were talking about, but they looked very close.
Old Madam Ye was not happy watching this scene. She was obviously her granddaughter, but she was closer to her grandmother than to herself. Isn't this a slap in her face? Ye Hongzhuang didn't even think about how her Su Wangfei came to be. She really had no conscience.
The old lady was unhappy. She looked at the table of the Ye family. Mu Shi brought her two daughters and Ye Chulian to talk and laugh. With the addition of Princess Guiyue, the scene was quite lively. Not only were they eating, but they were also drinking. The more she looked at them, the angrier she got.
People are like this, when they are angry, they like to think about things, and they are also particularly impulsive. Originally, because of Ye Wenyan's sudden appearance and strong suppression, the old lady had given up the idea of using His Royal Highness Prince Chen to make trouble. After all, she saw that Ye Wenyan was really not easy to mess with, and she couldn't afford to mess with him. If she was not careful, she would be injured and struck by lightning. But everything can't resist anger. Now that she was angry, her thoughts were picked up again, making her more and more angry, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was fooled by the Mu family and Ye Wenyan.
Not only was she fooled, but her second son's family was also fooled. A good family, who had done nothing wrong, was locked up alive and beaten every day. How could she swallow this? If she didn't do something, would she have the face to see her second son's family in the future? That second grandson would also have a problem with her as a grandmother, right?
Old Madam Ye's mind became active again. She looked at the familiarity between Ye Wenyan and Princess Guiyue, and the more she looked, the more she felt that there must be something wrong between Ye Wenyan and the Fourth Prince. Because the Fourth Prince had been to Guiyue and knew Princess Guiyue, Princess Guiyue had been with Ye Wenyan as soon as she arrived. This all had its source.
As the old lady was thinking about it, she stood up, and not only did she stand up, she also walked forward.
The old lady who was sitting at the same table and chatting with her was puzzled by this and asked, "Where are you going?" Old Lady Ye did not answer, but quickened her pace. She did not care about her waist pain, and when another dance ended, she immediately took advantage of this opportunity to walk to the middle of the hall and knelt down in front of Quan Qingcheng.
Quan Qingcheng was startled and subconsciously looked towards Ye Wenyan. But when he saw Ye Wenyan shaking his head, he frowned and asked, "Is that Old Madam Ye kneeling down below?"
The old lady said loudly: "It is you, the subject. I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Quan Qingcheng watched her bow, then said, "Old Madam, please stand up and speak."
The old lady stood up after hearing this, without any politeness at all.
She thought about it. She was the old lady of a first-rank general's mansion. Her husband had worked hard and made great contributions. Even when the late emperor was alive, he treated the couple with great courtesy and even exempted the old man from the kneeling ceremony.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, although the old man is gone, his military achievements are still there, so she doesn't need to humble herself too much, and should act like an old lady of a first-rank general's mansion.
So the old lady Xie stood up, straightened her back, and raised her head slightly to Quan Qingcheng and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a favor during the New Year's Eve palace banquet."
"Oh?" Quan Qingcheng was puzzled. "What's the good thing? And what do you want to ask for?"
The old lady continued, "It's a marriage. It's the marriage between the fourth daughter of my general's mansion and His Royal Highness Prince Chen. I ask the emperor to grant the marriage, which not only reflects the deep brotherly love between you and His Royal Highness, but also saves the reputation of our first-rank general's mansion."
"Huh?" Quan Qingcheng was stunned. "Who is my fourth brother with?"
"The fourth young lady of the First-rank General's Mansion, Ye Wenyan!" The old lady said word by word, "Your Highness Prince Chen and the fourth young lady of my First-rank General's Mansion, Ye Wenyan, have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep affection for each other. I, your Highness, request your permission to grant us marriage!"
Zhuier stood at the back and began to grind his teeth, "She feels uncomfortable if she doesn't cause trouble to my young lady for a day." Quan Qingcheng also remembered, no wonder the Emperor was so angry yesterday and called him to Yanhua Palace to ask who was the first to say that the fourth young lady Ye was missing in the court that day. It turned out that it was because Old Madam Ye secretly came up with such an idea. This grandmother is too annoying!
Quan Qingcheng looked unhappy and his tone was a little cold. He asked the old lady, "Why do you say that my fourth brother and fourth Miss Ye are childhood sweethearts and have a close relationship? I remember that they don't have a personal relationship and have rarely even met each other, right?"
"No, no." The old lady shook her head and said firmly, "Not only did they meet, they also drank tea together on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. And after drinking tea, the fourth lady never returned home and moved directly to Prince Chen's mansion."
The old lady stamped her feet in anger when she said this. "Alas, this is really a shameful thing to say. After all, no one has ever heard of a young lady who has not yet married living directly in a man's house. I am speaking out about this in public because I have no other choice. After all, she is my granddaughter. I have to fight for a legitimate position for her and let her marry into the Chen Palace. So I can only ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Please, His Majesty, save her face because the fourth girl cured your throat!"
"Nonsense!" Quan Qingcheng was furious, "Old Madam Ye, please watch your words!"
Someone below also responded, "It's true that no family has ever heard of an unmarried girl living directly in a man's house, but this is a new thing for other families, but not for your Ye family! Didn't the third daughter of the Ye family get pregnant before getting married? Everyone in the capital knows about this, how could the old lady have forgotten it?"
Ye Hongzhuang's expression looked very unhappy. Old Madam Xiao put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table as a reminder to her.
The man gave her face and didn't say anything at the time.
Old Madam Ye was so embarrassed that she glared at Ye Hongzhuang fiercely, then she said, "What I am talking about now is the fourth young lady's matter. As for her fate with His Royal Highness Prince Chen, it has to start with my eldest son who died young." People understood that she was going to talk about the teacher-student relationship. These things had been widely circulated in the capital in the past two days. Almost everyone knew that the Ye family had this plan, but they didn't expect Old Madam Ye to bring it up at the palace banquet.
Not only that, she also looked at the Fourth Prince and said angrily, "Fourth Prince, please repeat what you said in the court that day! Then stand up and ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage. After all, men have to take the lead in such matters. We can't let our Ye family's girl follow you in vain..."
