The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the Nanwan Kingdom once again sent Shi Chen to arrange a marriage with the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emperor once again planned to send Princess Yayang to get married because of Concubine Chen's gossip.
"Why? My father knew that Concubine Chen wanted to harm me, but he sent me to get married? Is the love for so many years just an illusion?" Princess Yayang did not shed tears, and she was not even sad or angry.
Being regarded as a pawn in marriage again and again, Princess Yayang's father-daughter love for the emperor has become so weak that it can almost be ignored.
"Princess, don't be anxious. The imperial edict has not yet been issued, and the wedding date has not been decided yet. Things are about to turn around. Princess, don't forget that there is also the Han Palace..." Mother Yun's expression changed before she finished her words.
The King of Han left the capital under an imperial decree and has not returned yet.
And Shangguan Yu is at the border. Even if he receives the news, he may not have time to plan for Princess Yayang.
"It goes without saying, Mom, everything is fate." Princess Yayang closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, "I am a princess after all, and I have the support of the Han Palace. Even the prince of Nanwan Kingdom does not dare to be disrespectful to me.
Compared with the previous choice with relatives, this time is much better, isn't it?"
Closing her eyes resignedly, Princess Yayang ordered softly: "Mommy, please pack up some inconspicuous and valuable items, especially those given to me by my mother-in-law and uncle's family.
This is the only thought I can take with me after we get married."
"Princess!" Nanny Yun covered her mouth, not daring to cry, but in her heart she felt aggrieved for her little master.
Whether it is a royal princess or a commoner, a child without a mother to protect him is pitiful and cannot control his own destiny.
Compared with the gloom and mist of Princess Yayang's place, the Hanwang Palace is a different scene.
The weak-looking Princess Han was so angry that she broke a tea set after learning about the commotion in the palace.
"Do you really think that since the prince and the prince are not here, they will be allowed to bully the blood of the Shangguan family? You can't do it Yayang, my aunt is still in pain!" After Princess Han vented her anger, she immediately asked the hidden guard to show up.
Compared with the hidden guards, the hidden guards have higher ability to do things, and they are similar to the dead soldiers.
But in addition to killing people, hidden guards can also do many things, including the inner courtyard of the palace. They can also complete tasks, but they will not be used easily.
After all, it is too difficult to train hidden guards. Without nobles of more than three generations, it is impossible to train qualified hidden guards, let alone in batches.
After the instructions were completed, Princess Han said to Aunt Yun: "Maybe you haven't seen your niece for a long time. It just so happens that I have a good set of tricks here. You can take my sign and send it to the princess. Your aunt and nephew are also welcome.
Talking about old times."
Grandma Yun took the order and immediately went down to prepare.
Aunt Yun next to Princess Han is named Yun Hong, and she is the nurse of Princess Han.
Aunt Yun next to Princess Yayang is Yun Hong's niece, named Yun Shang.
When Concubine Ming died in childbirth, the Han Palace expressed dissatisfaction with the emperor for the first time and forcefully took Princess Yayang to the Han Palace for upbringing.
It happened that not long after Yun Shang gave birth, she was asked to be Princess Yayang's wet nurse. Later, Yun Shang's husband and son died in an accident, and Yun Shang stayed with Princess Yayang.
When the queen learned that Princess Han had asked Princess Yayang to visit her, she let her go without any embarrassment. However, Concubine Chen sent someone to pay attention.
The Prince of Han's love for Princess Yayang was no less than that of her biological mother. Concubine Chen was afraid that the marriage would change again, so she had to be on guard.
Although Nanwan Kingdom is a vassal state of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is the largest country among the vassal states. Now it has ambitions and attempts to annex other small countries. It will be a matter of time for it to confront the Eastern Han Dynasty. By then, only the princess will be able to marry.
A dead end.
However, the Nanwan Kingdom had already established a crown prince, and the crown prince came to propose marriage in person. He still married as the crown princess, in order to express his apology for what happened last time. The Eastern Han Dynasty naturally also wanted to express its sincerity and the capacity of a great country.
Therefore, this time the marriage must not be replaced by the daughter of a princess or a courtier. Then the only princesses of the right age are Princess Yayang and Princess Minya.
If it weren't for the sake of preserving her daughter, Concubine Chen wouldn't even want Princess Yayang to marry in such a glorious manner.
"Concubine, what do you want to do, Princess Han? My daughter suspects that the last time the marriage failed to happen, it was because of the Han Palace. But this time, no matter what, Yayang must go for the marriage. My daughter doesn't want to marry far away."
Princess Ya could never keep her temper, so she entered the palace and shouted out without waving to leave.
Concubine Chen hurriedly gave a wink to her confidants and drove out all the palace attendants in the main hall.
"You, you can't grow up, you always have this temper." Although Chen Guifei is a bit cruel, she really loves her children, but she failed to teach them well. "This matter has been settled.
With your mother and concubine here, and your third brother, can your father still marry you off?"
"Concubine, forget about the third brother. My grandfather's family has done so much for him, but... now my daughter doesn't even dare to go out of the palace to play, for fear that someone will ask me openly or secretly how my third brother is doing.
Let me answer it how you want!" Princess Miya waved her veil, sat next to Concubine Chen, and said with grievance.
Concubine Chen's face darkened. Unexpectedly, the outside world had begun to spread rumors, and she hurriedly asked: "What are they asking you? What rumors have you heard outside the palace? Why didn't you tell your mother and concubine?"
"What else could it be? Just asking me if Third Brother was seriously injured, or if the assassin was caught? Some people even asked me why there were so many concubines in Third Brother's house, but no happy news came." Princess Mianya
He said angrily: "Mother, I'm not engaged yet, how can I say this?"
"This is unreasonable!" Concubine Chen slammed the table and asked: "Who said such things? Let's see how the mother-in-law punishes them!"
"The people I usually come into contact with are all approved by my mother-in-law. Besides them, who else can be there?" Princess Mianya played with the handkerchief and said impatiently: "Whatever my mother-in-law wants to know, just tell me
I asked the palace maids, they waited on me, and they naturally heard about it. I made an appointment with my cousin and left the palace, no longer accompanying my mother and concubine."
Looking at Princess Minya's leaving figure, Concubine Chen's well-maintained face gradually became distorted.
The ladies from well-known families whom Princess Miya had befriended were naturally officials who supported the third prince.
But now that these daughters dare to ask such questions, doesn't it mean that the families behind them have wavered in their determination to support the third prince?
Concubine Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly ordered: "Whoever comes, please invite the third prince into the palace immediately. Just tell me that I have a headache."
Of course, people outside the palace will not know the news immediately about what happens in the palace.
Bai Wei hesitated for a long time, and finally designed a jade carving for the people below to carve.
There is still some time before the emperor's birthday banquet, so the jade carving has not yet been completed, but Bai Wei will check it every day to prevent the master from carving out the essence.
That day, Bai Wei was just about to go to the back hall when a guest came to the door. It was the person Bai Wei wanted to see the most but dared not see the most - Xiao Mu.
"It is an honor for Jinyu Pavilion that Mr. Xiao is here. I wonder if Mr. Xiao has something to do when he comes here this time?" Bai Wei collected her thoughts and spoke coldly to maintain her last dignity.
"Are you working for the third prince?" Xiao Mu asked with a complicated expression.
He didn't have much contact with Bai Wei. Xiao Mu didn't know why Bai Wei was attracted to him, but he couldn't respond to Bai Wei's feelings, so after knowing Bai Wei's feelings, he never had any contact with her again.
But Bai Wei is Bai Ling's sister after all. Just because of this, Xiao Mu can't help but pay a little attention to Bai Wei. (To be continued)
