Chapter 229 Rumors, Six Princes Set Up a Game
Seeing that Yin Tingyue seemed to be interested in Shen Qingyun, the sixth prince burst out laughing. Just as he was about to continue teasing him a few more times, he felt a very cold gaze from behind, as if it was about to turn into a sharp sword and pierce him on the spot.
He felt a little frightened, and turned around to look over. Sure enough, it was Si Moli, who seemed to have returned from finishing his work.
As a result, what the Sixth Prince wanted to say stuck in his mouth. He did not have the courage to challenge Si Moli in person.
But then he had an idea, pretending to be just thinking about countermeasures, and said to the emperor: "Why don't you let the mother-in-law hold a banquet and invite all these ladies over? Then the head of the Yin family will meet and see it in person. It will definitely be better than seeing this The scroll is much more vivid, I wonder what your father thinks of this idea?"
This statement seems very reasonable and not too abrupt.
However, the Sixth Prince thought that in all seriousness, Shen Qingyun's appearance was definitely one of the best among the noble ladies in Kyoto, and he was not afraid that Yin Tingyue would not be tempted.
The emperor glanced sideways at Si Moli, and seeing that he didn't look angry, he agreed: "This is a good idea. I wonder what Lord Yin thinks of it?"
"Then I would like to thank the Emperor for his kindness, for it would be troublesome for the Imperial Concubine." Yin Tingyue smiled, but there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions behind this smile.
Si Moli never spoke, but with the emperor's support, the Sixth Prince became more unrestrained. He got closer to the people of Northern Li Kingdom while talking and laughing, and gained praise and admiration from everyone.
Si Moli didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
The imperial concubine quickly learned of the matter and actively arranged it. Many girls of the right age to be married in Kyoto received invitations, and Shen Qingyun was no exception.
But for some reason, a rumor suddenly spread in Beijing: I heard that the head of the Yin family was disfigured and extremely ugly, so he always wore a mask to cover the half of his face that was difficult to see.
This rumor quickly spread throughout Kyoto, so that the ladies who received the invitation began to feel anxious.
Although many people are not willing to get married, the Yin family is a rumored aristocratic family. At its peak, even small countries were afraid of it. What's more, the Yin family is considered to be young and promising, and he looks slender. This mask adds to the mystery, so everyone is still very curious about the head of the Yin family.
Unexpectedly, he was disfigured.
Naturally, these women are not willing to marry far away and face an ugly husband.
So the ladies who originally planned to dress up in dress up all dressed up in plain clothes, some deliberately looked ugly, some even pretended to be sick, some had cold, some had acne, some had sprained feet... The women suffered from various diseases that made it difficult for them to travel, and they all used their connections to complain to the imperial concubine.
However, the imperial concubine was very generous and considerate, and she did not blame the ladies at all for their inconvenience.
Even so, there are those from weaker families who dare not go so blatantly, so they can only dress themselves up as inconspicuously as possible.
The imperial concubine and the sixth prince were filled with joy. If this continues, Shen Qingyun will be the most stunning and beautiful among all the noble ladies present.
Even if Shen Qingyun had to find an excuse not to come, the imperial concubine would also find a reason to comfort her.
Shen Qingyun had already expected this, so she just prepared the clothes for the trip normally. She still wore a simple but elegant skirt, as long as it was not rude.
Yicui still doesn't know that the head of the Yin family is Han Yu, and is very worried about this, because even though Shen Qingyun is elegantly dressed, it's hard to hide her noble aura, and besides, she has such a vulgar face. , even if you want people to ignore it.
"Miss, what if the parents of the Yin family really like you and insist on you going to get married? Why don't you pretend to be sick and not go?" Yi Cui said anxiously.
Pearl heard this and also advised her: "Yes, Miss, although Prince Li will definitely protect you, it is the time when the two countries are negotiating peace. If the head of the Yin family hadn't been unwilling, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult for the prince. "
She didn't want her young lady to take such a risk.
Shen Qingyun shook his head: "The Sixth Prince once specifically mentioned it in front of Lord Yin. If I pretend to be ill, the imperial concubine will send an imperial doctor to see me in the next moment, or use other methods. In short, I will not be able to escape easily."
Hearing what she said, Yi Cui and Zhen Zhen became even more worried.
What if the imperial concubine and the sixth prince do something wrong at the banquet again, and directly plot Yin Tingyue and Shen Qingyun together? Even if they jump into the Yellow River, they won't be able to wash it off. Prince Li loves Miss Li, and if he treats Miss Li because of this, It is always bad to have misunderstandings or dissatisfaction.
So the two maids tried their best to persuade her.
Seeing the two of them like this, Shen Qingyun smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, Yin Tingyue won't harm me."
She still has this little confidence in Han Yu.
But Pearl and Yicui obviously couldn't rest assured: "Miss, how can you be sure? Rumors also say that Lord Yin is ruthless and a bloodthirsty person."
Shen Qingyun sighed, thought about it, and still did not say that Yin Tingyue was Han Yu, but simply revealed: "Don't worry, I have contacted the head of the Yin family, and I can guarantee that you will not appear. A worrying situation.”
Although Pearl and Yi Cui were surprised and thought it was a bit impossible, Shen Qingyun would never lie to them, so they had no choice but to give it up.
Han Qing also brought new news to Yicui's family at this time. It turned out that Yicui's brother suddenly got rich, and his sister-in-law Guilan was pregnant again, and was taken to Xiaosha, a brothel, to marry the brothel woman there. A lot of money was spent.
After Yicui's parents found out, although they blamed their son for being like this, they could only teach him not to go there again, treat Guilan well, and even help him cover up.
But Guilan is actually a thoughtful person. As the saying goes, men become bad when they have money. She looked at the money at home very closely. If there was money missing, she immediately discovered it.
But she paid close attention, pretended not to know anything, and observed silently in secret. Sure enough, she found that Yicui's brother stayed out all night again, and when he came back, his whole body smelled of alcohol and makeup. What else could she not understand?
Guilan cried and fussed at home, chasing Yi Cui's brother and beating her. The baby in her belly almost disappeared. She hugged Yicui, and Yi Cui's brother was so frightened that he vowed never to go to a brothel again, and then Ansheng Come down.
But this kind of thing happens one after another. Brother Yicui, who tasted the sweetness, turned around and hooked up with the village widow again.
The widow was also a powerful person. She knew Brother Yi Cui was rich and deliberately tried to seduce him. But now she took his pants and clothes and asked for money. If she didn't give them, she would go to the village and accuse him of taking her body.
Yicui's parents wanted to come to the Duke's Mansion again to ask for money, but they were kicked away.
After hearing these terrible things, Yi Cui fell silent and went back to her room to cry silently.
Crying, she took out the purse under the pillow, thinking of Han Yu, and sighed quietly in her heart.
