Chapter 38 Just Tonight
Five thousand cavalrymen are Yuyan's dowry.
Yuyan also knew why the eldest sister said such things. The eldest sister wrote a letter to ask Yuyan to come to the capital, and originally asked her to be a concubine for Xiao Dingquan. The previous reason was exactly the same as in the previous life. It has never changed in this life. This is why her father gave her five thousand cavalry, in order to win over the distance between her and the new king in this way. Once Xiao Dingquan becomes the emperor in the future and establishes a new dynasty, no matter whether it is the status of a descendant or the merit of the dragon, the Zhu family said that he can get a noble title.
Xiao Dingquan looked at Yuyan again and asked a little uncomfortable, "How old are you?"
"I just turned fourteen!" Yuwei said.
"It's too small!" Xiao Dingquan cleared his throat and reached out to help Yuyan. Yuyan had already fallen backwards. Her nanny helped her and she stood up by herself, "Thank you brother-in-law!"
Pretending to not understand Yuwei's words. Xiao Dingquan thought that she was young and didn't care much, but Yuwei was a little dissatisfied, "It's nothing for us to call our brother-in-law in private. In front of outsiders, we still have to call the king, otherwise we would seem rude."
"Yes!" Yuyan retreated respectfully, with a comprehensive manner and a calm manner. The girls in the capital did not have the temperament of Yuyan.
Yuwei was very satisfied and looked at Xiao Dingquan proudly. Xiao Dingquan was naturally very satisfied. Although he was in a high position, he could not suppress the joy in his heart at this time. The tea cup he picked up could not cover the corners of his raised lips, and the two smiles on the corners of his lips.
After many years of couples, Yuwei certainly knew her pillow-by. Although she had known her husband would definitely fall in love with her sister, she still felt relieved at this moment. Now, she only needs to worry about what is left, Yan Yan can get pregnant as soon as possible. If the Zhu family wants to last forever, the king's heir must be born by her sisters.
Yuyan knew what her sister was thinking about. She lowered her head and did not speak, and ignored Zhu Yuyi's curious gaze that kept throwing towards her. Suddenly, Yuyi seemed to have figured out something. With a smile, Yuyan widened her eyes as clear as a deer and asked Yuyi in confusion, "Three sister, why are you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh, what can I laugh at? Second sister, don't talk nonsense!" Yuyi was frightened and turned to Yuwei for help, "Big sister, I didn't laugh, Second sister, she wronged me!"
The jade face sat upright, and the words she said just now were not what she said, looking at the nose and the nose, looking at the heart, as dignified as a Buddha statue.
Xiao Dingquan was over thirty years older than her, and his eldest son was older than Zhu Yuyan. Looking at Yuyan was like looking at his own daughter. Seeing her naughty eyes rolling around with black and white eyes, she realized that she was saying the wrong thing and was so nervous that she dared not speak, she was so cute.
Yuwei was about to scold Yuyan, but Xiao Dingquan raised his hand to stop her and said, "Prepare the meal!"
There is no rule in the palace to remain unspeakable. Xiao Dingquan told Yuwei about the funeral. "The ministers all proposed that funerals be simple. Master Zhang calculated that the next day would be a good day. He suggested that the coffin of his father be moved into the tomb as soon as possible. Now that the court has changed from old to new, there are many political affairs. Several princes discussed it and felt that it was good, so I agreed."
"I will guard the spirit for the last time tonight. I said that the four princes of the county will guard together. The eldest brother is in poor health. Dingmin has been overwhelmed these days, so I and my second brother will guard the last night."
Yuyan looked up at Xiao Dingquan, and was caught out of the corner of Xiao Dingquan's eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head in panic, looking like a little girl who was secretly watching her lover and being caught by her lover. Xiao Dingquan smiled, and a smile flashed. Yuwei lowered her head to eat, but she didn't see it.
After using the meal, they came out of the hall and went forward to cry together. Yuyi pretended to be intimate with Yuyan and walked together. She looked around and said, "Second sister, you are seducing your eldest brother-in-law!"
"Is that true? What evidence do you have?"
"I saw it. You secretly looked at your elder brother-in-law several times, and your elder brother-in-law has been watching you all the time!"
Yuyan stopped and stared at Yuyi, "Do you know the purpose of my coming to Beijing?"
"What purpose?"
"I won't tell you what purpose you are. If you are smart, you will want to go." Yuyan speeded up, got rid of Yuyi, and walked forward on her own.
Tonight, just tonight, the four great princes were originally with Xiao Dingquan to guard the last night. The great prince Xiao Dingguo is the eldest son of the old king. He is indeed old, but he is not too old to keep his soul for his old father. Xiao Dingmin was originally the nephew of the old king. His father was the elder brother of a mother and a compatriot of the old king. He sacrificed his life to save the old king's life. The elder king's general Xiao Dingmin was kept under his knees and treated him as his own. Shouldn't he be here to guard the last night?
It was just Xiao Dingquan and Xiao Dingtai, which made Yuyan suspicious, which was a bit too coincidental.
Yuyan kept thinking about her thoughts. When she arrived at Liangyi Hall, Zhou Xiao was waiting for her at the door. Seeing her coming absent-mindedly, she raised her hand and shook her eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I didn't think of anything!" Yuyan saw that there were many people, and the two of them waited in a corner under the eaves of the corridor. After everyone was in, they found a place to kneel down in the threshold.
The day passed like this, and Yuyan felt that time passed quickly. Before she could figure out a solution, the day passed.
After going back and eating, Yuyan went to Yuwei and told her that she was going to the vegetarian palace in front to see Zhou Xiao. Yuwei was not very convinced, so Yuyi said sarcastically next to her, "Second sister, you didn't know that you were going to see it on purpose when you heard your elder brother-in-law say you would be there tonight?"
Yuwei also became suspicious, and Yuyan's face was still motionless. "If the third sister thinks it is, then that's right!"
"There are many people in front of you. If you go to see Zhou Xiao, ask someone to take you there. If you see it, come back. Don't run away casually."
She was worried that Xiao Dingquan had hinted with Yu Yan about something. It was not easy to stop him. Besides, although the king was in the filial period and could not do anything, Zhong had already said that he would take his niece to Shangjing. She was also a little anxious now. If Yu Yan could get familiar with the king earlier, it might be a good thing.
Yuwei personally sent Yuyan out and whispered to her in the courtyard, "If you meet the king, don't be reckless. First, you are still young now, and second, your status is not determined, and my sister is also worried that you will suffer."
Yuyan only said "um". Under the night, the light of the palace lanterns covered with white paper could not shine in the middle of the courtyard. Yuwei couldn't see Yuyan's face clearly. She just thought she was shy and pinched her hand. She was a little worried and looked forward to it, "Go, my sister will protect you!"
