Chapter 46 She Is My Yan'er
but what choice did she have With three daughters and one son all unmarried, she couldn't bear the thought of her children being left without even a respectable status. 。Yet, Yan'er's thoughts remain...The old woman wanted him to take a new concubine, but taking a concubine wasn't the goal, having children was the most fundamental purpose.
He has his own ideas though, even if he took a concubine and had a child now, what use would that be It would take at least ten years for the child to be of any use. 。It has been over ten years. In another decade or so, the young prince would have come of age and taken the throne. What use would he have for raising children thenThe most urgent matter is to find a ready-made, grown daughter to enter the household immediately. This way, the void left by Ye Hongzhuang's departure could be filled. 。The night scene smiled brightly. He had a grown daughter, he already did. In the third year after Ye Hongzhuang's birth, he secretly raised a concubine outside the city of Lin'an, and this year, the daughter she gave birth to was fourteen years old. 。He named the child Ye Wushuang, meaning he was unique and irreplaceable in his heart. 。That daughter was indeed unique. The reason she was so unique was that he truly loved her mother, Chang Xueqiao. 。Chang Xueqiao is thirty years old this year, and the age she and the Xiao family report to the outside world is the same. 。But in reality, he knew that Xiao was not actually thirty years old, but thirty-four, a year older than him. 。Back then, the Xiao family's two branches were in an alliance through marriage. Mrs. Xiao wanted to do everything she could to marry her daughter into a first-rank general’s mansion. At first, she had her sights set on her older brother, Ye Shanggui, but that didn't work out. Later, she shifted her attention to him. 。He refused at first because Xiao Shubi was older than him. Later, the age in the Gengtie (a marriage contract) was written incorrectly. In fact, Xiao Shubi was three years older than him! His mother favored Ningguo Houfu, so the marriage was decided. 。He always knew deep down that the Xiao family was lying, so the marital relationship between him and Xiao Sh beyaz wasn't really good. Most of the time, it was just a show for outsiders. 。Therefore, when Chang Xueqiao appeared before him, he was immediately captivated by the woman's beautiful features, gentle and peaceful disposition, and willingness to obey him in everything. 。After all, there isn't a man who doesn't have protective instincts, and there isn't a man who truly likes it when his wife at home is domineering and overbearing, constantly contradicting him, and even guarding against taking concubines. 。He really had a mind to take Chang Xue Qiao into the mansion back then, and even mentioned to Xiao Shi about wanting to bring a new woman into the household. 。At that time, Xiao Shubi's reaction was too intense. He even went back to his mother's house and complained to his grandmother, Mrs. Xiao. As a result, Mrs. Xiao personally went to his family's old lady to talk, completely dispelling his idea of taking Chang Xueqiao into the mansion. 。Chang Xueqiao is also a good person. Seeing his dilemma, she immediately expressed that as long as she could be with him, she didn't care about having a formal relationship for the rest of her life. 。He was so moved that he couldn't express it. He secretly bought a piece of land outside Lin'an City. To prevent Xiao Shuwai from finding out, he didn't even dare to write his own name on the deed, directly writing Chang Xueqiao's name instead, as a gift to her. 。Later, Chang Xueqiao gave birth to a daughter. He was very happy and would visit the house in the outer city every ten and a half months to reunite with Chang Xueqiao and his daughter. 。Over all these years, it hasn't shown its hand. 。But as his daughter grew older, she became more and more beautiful. He truly thought that Ye Wushuang was far more beautiful than Ye Hongzhuang, although she wasn't quite as beautiful as Ye Wenyan. Still, her appearance was truly one in a hundred. 。So, later on the night of their wedding, he would always think in his heart, "If I was marrying a peerless beauty, how wonderful it would be. My peerless bride becoming empress would allow Chang to openly enter the Ye Mansion." Then no one would dare do anything... 。But now it seems, fortunately, we didn't agree on a unique... 。Now that he had a chance and a reason, shouldn't he consider telling the old madam about Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang Let the old madam make the decision and take them, mother and daughter, into the mansion The more Ye Shengyue thought about it, the brighter things seemed. After all, Hongzhuang was in this state now. Even if Xiao Sh beyaz was powerful and the old lady of the Xiao family supported her, she couldn't overcome what Hongzhuang had done, such a disgraceful thing. 。Then, all the Old Madam needs to do is use this to shut up the Old Madam of the Xiao family. The Old Madam of the Xiao family won't be able to say a word. 。
Ye Wang went to the study humming a tune. The earlier incident of bringing the wrong things for the Empress Dowager had long been forgotten by him. All he could think about was how promising Ye Wushuang's future would be and how much Chang Xueqiao loved him since she returned home.
The new emperor was young, but youth also had its advantages. Because he was young, he hadn't yet taken a wife or concubines, and the imperial harem was empty. 。He wasn't going to die on this tree of Empress Dowager Li and the Sixth Prince. If Wushuang caught the new emperor's eye, wouldn't he still be the emperor's father-in-law!Dance Pavilion Because Grandma Cui had been arrested, Ye Hongzhuang was very happy. She leaned against the soft couch, eating the tonic sent from the palace, with a maid kneeling beside her kneading her legs. 。Jin Shi Lan Bing changed the hand warmer for her and sighed, "The people in the palace are indeed domineering. Even just a grandma is still doing servant work in the palace, but as soon as they get to our house, they put on a sour face and owe everyone eight hundred liangs." 。This morning she persuaded her sister to go to Fourth Sister's place. The maidservant was truly terrified, but she wouldn't let anyone else follow. What if something happened Who would be responsible then 。It's good that he got caught. During the national mourning period, to wear a red string around one's neck is really audacious. 。"
Ye Hongzhuang hummed softly, "That old woman asked me to ask Ye Wenyan to treat Quian Qinglu's injury, but she ignored my injury and said that as long as Ye Wenyan agrees to treat the Sixth Prince, my wound would definitely be treated too." >>> 。Tsk! She's just out for herself, doesn't care about my feelings at all, just wants to make Quan Qinglu better. 。"Yeah, they only care about the baby in my belly, they don't care about me at all." 。" Night Hongzhuang placed the bowl in her hand down, reaching up to cover her still flat stomach and sighed, "I hope you're a boy, but I also hope you don't come into this world. 。Because, no matter if it's a man or a woman, I have to get on this journey of life with you. 。Your father's injury is hopeless. Mother doesn't want to marry a eunuch, so child, if you can hear me, just quietly die!
As soon as the words were spoken, the door was pushed open and Ye Hongzhuang looked up to see Xiao Shi enter with her maid Jinxiu. 。Binglan and the maidservant who kneaded her legs quickly got up and bowed. Xiao shi waved her hand, telling all the servants to go out. 。She sat down beside the soft couch of Ye Hongzhuang, stared at Ye Hongzhuang's belly for a while, and then spoke: "This child can't die, at least before the doctor can tell if it's a boy or a girl, it absolutely cannot die." 。“ He’s not happy, “Why His father has become a useless person, why should I keep him around You and I wanted to capture the heart of the Sixth Prince, we absolutely couldn't lose to Ye Wenyan” 。I listened to him and gave myself completely, but now that he's done this, Mother, don't you have any ideas on what I should do next”
Xiao understood her daughter's worry and quickly comforted her: "Your father and I have already discussed it. As long as this child is a boy, we still have hope" 。" Now that even Quan Qinglu has met such a fate, what hope do we have left Who could possibly allow an eunuch to ascend the throne" "He's an eunuch, but your child in your womb is perfectly healthy!" Xiao Shi reminded her. "As long as Empress Dowager is still alive, there's still room for things to turn around." 。Right now, the new emperor hasn't gotten married yet. As long as you can give birth to a boy, he will have a chance to compete with the current emperor. 。We in Northern Qi aren't strangers to the practice of veiled rule. We can just let our children take a turn on the throne, and leave the affairs of court and palace to Empress Li. 。As long as you enter the palace, as long as you are the biological mother of the future emperor, do you still care if your husband is an eunuch Are you still afraid that you won't be able to endure your mother-in-law" Ye Hongzhuang's eyes lit up, feeling that her mother was right, but, "My face...""Don't worry, there are always ways." 。"The Xiao family is very confident, "There are many famous doctors in the world. I just believe that if we visit all the famous doctors, your face can be cured.” 。Outside Qingliangyuan, Mu sent Ye Feiyu for a walk. 。Ye Wenyan had already returned to his own courtyard, and Ye Qingmei was also in the room having lunch. 。But Mu Shi didn't use it. She asked Ye Feiyu, "Your son has mentioned the cause of your father and grandfather's death several times. What do you think about this"
Ye Feiyu thought for a moment, “My grandfather and father both died before their time. Before, we believed the doctor's words and thought it was due to the injuries they sustained from years of warfare.” 。Now that I think about it, my grandfather couldn't have endured the hardship any longer and gave up. My father was only thirty-six years old; how could he have possibly endured it as well So I think Yan'er's question makes sense. 。” Mu raised her head, silent for a moment. “Indeed it makes sense, but how do we investigate this And what good would it do if we found out” she asked again. “Feiyue, have you ever thought about what happens if your father was killed by his own people How would you avenge this” Ye Feiyue remained silent for a long time, he even returned to send Mu back to Qingliang Courtyard 。She walked all the way to the entrance of the courtyard before hearing Ye Feiyu say, "I had never thought about this before, but now that I have to, I will respect Yan'er's decision." 。Whatever she wants to do, I'll do it. Whatever she wants to report, I'll report it. 。To me, only you are my closest relatives. As for the rest, now that I think about it, they really don't amount to much. 。“You have so many sisters, yet you spoil Yan’er the most. You're willing to listen to her about anything.” 。Once she was so mad that she could tear the roof off a house, and you still pampered and indulged her. 。Now that she's even more formidable, you still act the same way, unafraid of spoiling her. 。"Even Ye Feiyu laughed, "I am her older brother, she's been raised by me since I was a child." 。"What if she wasn't your sister" Mu suddenly asked. 。Night Flying Jade was stunned, "How could she not be my sister" 。"Yes, how is that possible!" Mrs. Mu chuckled wryly, "Our flesh and blood come from our parents. As long as the piece of flesh on her body was once mine, she is our Yan'er, and I would give my life to protect her." 。So, everything Yan'er says is right, and you are right too. 。She hesitated for a moment, then added, "It's just that we have suspicions about the cause of your father and grandfather's deaths. Don't tell Lianlian." 。After returning from the front yard, until dusk, Ye Wenyan did only one thing: wait for Shi Lifen...y, as if General Ye was refuting her words. 。Mu lightly shook her head, "Even if you don't want to, there's no room for discussion on this." 。I've listened to you for half my life, and from now on, I...
