Emperor Ming Yan said: "I have read Wulang's letter. You are a good boy with a kind heart. I am very relieved."
The fifth prince suppressed his joy, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, father, for the compliment."
"Well," Emperor Ming Yan said, "it's a pleasure to work with Yue'er. Although she is younger than you, you have a lot to learn from her!"
Yan Shiyue immediately said: "Hey hey hey..."
Emperor Ming Yan also laughed: "I just have convulsions from time to time, so there is no need to learn this." As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh. The fifth prince couldn't help being amused and laughed a few times.
The second day is the sealing ceremony.
Although it seemed that the preparations did not take long, the celebration was extremely grand. It had obviously been secretly prepared for an unknown amount of time. Moreover, the imperial concubine was really suitable for such a luxurious dress. When walking hand in hand with Emperor Ming Yan, her face was glowing. , can't be looked at.
From then on, the imperial concubine entered the middle palace and her mother honored the world.
Yan Shiyue also wore the princess uniform for a day and was so exhausted that she returned to the palace and changed her clothes before attending the palace banquet. After all, she couldn't avoid being lazy on an occasion like today.
The women in the palace were colorful and colorful. As soon as she passed by, many people talked to her.
First, there is Concubine Wan, the biological mother of the fifth prince.
She was obviously the kind of person who was timid and didn't like to talk much. She mustered up the courage to come up and talk to her, "Your Highness, I heard from Wu Lang that Your Highness has always taken care of him. I haven't thanked you very much."
Yan Shiyue helped her up: "You're welcome."
The mother of the Seventh and Eighth Princes, Ning Guihe and Concubine Shu, also came over to talk to her: "The Emperor said that this year Qi Lang/Eighth Lang will be vaccinated against pox. Your Highness, are you sure that this kind of pox will be fine?"
She said: "At most he has a slight fever, and if someone takes good care of him, he will usually be fine. Back then, so many people in Jubao Village were fine, even those who contracted smallpox were fine."
Seeing that she was willing to answer, several people came up to talk to her.
There was someone who kept smiling shyly at her, it was Xiaobailian Jiagui... No, it should be Jiaconcubine.
She still had her eyelids raised, with a pair of big, ignorant eyes like a deer, and a curious and dreamy girlish look on her face.
On the other hand, Concubine Jing, the little cannon fodder in the palace fight, no longer dared to be "outspoken" without Empress Su. Standing far away, Yan Shiyue's eyes glanced at her, and she was so frightened that she hid.
Someone said: "I heard that a few days ago, Prince Gyatso came to his residence and was defeated by Jinrong Hou. He is indeed a divine general who can cut down flags and seize commanders among thousands of armies. The mere barbarians are not his enemy."
She liked hearing this and smiled.
Another person said: "I heard that Prince Gyatso is born with supernatural powers. Many people who challenge him are no match for him."
"These people are really rude. They claim to admire His Highness. The Mobei Prince is a barbarian who doesn't know etiquette. Don't they know that too?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Those are the dragon guards around me. Prince Mobei doesn't know the etiquette of Dayan. His reasoning doesn't make sense, and he can't be beaten directly. I simply asked them to use this as an excuse to subdue him."
Everyone was stunned.
Only the concubine Jia said: "This is inappropriate. Your Highness is a body of gold. How can you get involved with such a vulgar person?"
She shook her head slightly at her, disapproval written in her eyes.
Maybe she wanted to compliment her, but why did she look so disgusting?
Concubine Shu smiled and said to her: "I heard that the emperor is asking His Highness to marry Marquis Jinrong this year! I have a treasure in my family, which I will send to His Highness to make up for him."
Others asked, "What kind of treasure is it that is so mysterious?"
Concubine Shu smiled and lowered her voice: "It's a painting by King Guangchuan."
Although Yan Shiyue had never heard of who King Guangchuan was, she could guess what it was when she said it like that. She just smiled, but she heard Jia Bin timidly say: "I wonder what kind of painting it is?"
Meeting everyone's eyes, she added: "I wonder if it's a landscape painting or a flower-and-bird painting? I've always loved painting. I wonder if I can appreciate it?"
Everyone turned around and ignored her lazily. Only one person said angrily: "You don't know about dowry paintings or concubines?"
Jia Bin opened her eyes wide in surprise and stepped back, looking extremely embarrassed.
However, no one appreciated the performance and a few people continued chatting.
Yibin said to her: "Your Highness, I actually met Marquis Jinrong's father back then."
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
Yibin said: "When I was young, I went back to my hometown with my grandparents to worship my ancestors. Unexpectedly, I encountered the Mobei people attacking the city. At that time, there were some internal agents of the Mobei people in the city. Seeing that the attack could not be broken for a long time, those people started killing people unscrupulously.
Then Dayan's army came. Your Highness, General Huo Yi looked elegant and looked like a scholar, but he was also very skilled. I saw him charging towards me with his men and horses, and I shot the Mobei man.
Picked."
She paused and seemed to hesitate, but continued: "I am not saying that the people of Mobei are really inhumane. I heard from the elders that if they break the barrier, they will burn, kill and loot without restraint, and they will also
Gathering prisoners of war together and making them run and shoot arrows, and even gathering a group of women to undress in public, and disemboweling them while they were in the house, they are worse than animals..."
The others shouted in low voices and covered their mouths, unable to bear to listen.
Jia Bin also groaned and shook her head: "How can you say such things? You are so uninvitable... You are too, too dirty!"
Yibin's expression suddenly turned cold.
Yan Shiyue also darkened her face and turned to look at her: "Is it addictive to pretend to be innocent? Why do you choose such words to ask questions if you are so innocent? The choice is quite accurate! You are such an old girl who is pretending to be a fool.
?I think your brain is much dirtier than her mouth! People are talking about the brutality of the war, and you can pull out the cuckolds from it. What else is there in your mind besides this disgusting thing?"
Jia Bin was stunned, her body began to shake, and tears gradually accumulated in her eyes.
Yan Shiyue said coldly: "Today is the Queen's Conferment Ceremony, a happy day... Please think about whether you want to offend me just to pretend to be weak." She pointed at her: "Hold back your tears!!"
Concubine Jia was so frightened that she did not dare to cry and stayed away.
The others exchanged glances.
Concubine Wan urged: "Your Highness, don't be angry."
Concubine Yi also said: "Thank you for your protection, Your Highness, but I really don't deserve to be angry about this."
Yan Shiyue said to her warmly: "Those who have witnessed the war with their own eyes may want to kill all the people in Mobei, but when Aye considers the problem, he looks at the overall situation and the long-term perspective. You have to understand that the population of Mobei is
It is less than half of ours, but the territory of Mobei is only half as big as Dayan, and in such a large place, there are no houses and towns, only large tracts of grassland, so it is not easy to control."
"In other words, it is not easy for us to put our people there, so we have to make them bow their heads and take care of themselves. And we have always had enough strength to suppress them and prevent them from making rash moves.
, this is the better way to solve the problem at present.”
Yibin looked confused for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."
She didn't expect that Yan Shiyue would immediately hear her intentions when she said these words. She also didn't expect that Yan Shiyue would hear her but would not be angry and would reason with her. (To be continued)
