There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Granny Gu was buried for seven days, and she was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Gu family. These were discussed with Gu Jian a long time ago.

After Granny Gu was buried, Mrs. Yan was going to go back to Ningmen Mansion with Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Yan Wenxiu.

Since Sister Gu is gone, she will not be able to stay in Taohua Nunnery anymore.

However, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stayed behind. One of them wanted to keep their filial piety, and the other was to worry about Gu Jian.

"Father, mother, why don't I stay too, it's not good for the eldest sister to stay here alone."

On the way to the ferry, Yan Wenxiu, who was kept in the dark, looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang who were walking side by side behind him with a worried expression.

Yan Zhigao glanced at Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yan again.

Mrs. Yan shook her head: "Master Gu has a strange temper. He definitely doesn't want to see outsiders at this time. Wen Xiu will come back with us."

Yan Wenxiu didn't expect his grandmother to say this. He didn't believe that she didn't understand what she meant. It would be bad for her reputation to leave the eldest sister alone with Ye Yang.

Seeing what the eldest son wanted to say, Yan Zhigao said directly: "Okay, listen to your grandmother."

Yan Wenxiu frowned, more and more questions in her heart.

Father put down his official duties and stayed here, together with his mother and grandmother, he personally guarded the spirit of old mother-in-law for seven days.

This puzzled him.

Although Master Gu is the eldest sister's master, and Granny Gu can be regarded as a relative, it is enough for their family to come to pay homage, and there is no need to guard the spirit in person.

Right now, I knew that letting my eldest sister stay with Ye Yang would harm her reputation, but my grandmother, father, and mother didn't stop her.

This is so abnormal.

Soon, the group came to the ferry.

Mrs. Li took Daohua: "Take good care of your master, and send someone to tell the family if anything happens."

Daohua nodded: "Mother, I know."

Mrs. Li looked at Xiao Yeyang again, she hesitated, she still couldn't digest the fact that the other party was her son-in-law.

When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he took the initiative to ask, "What did Auntie instruct Yeyang?" The attitude was very respectful.

Mrs. Li: ".Take care of Daohua."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will." After speaking, he looked at Yan Zhigao again, and asked with a smile, "What is your uncle's order?"

Yan Zhigao was also unable to adapt to the change of identity for a while, thinking that he was now Xiao Yeyang's father-in-law, he shook his head with a sullen face and pretending to be majestic.

Yan Wenxiu stood aside and watched silently, feeling that several people were very strange.

After Mrs. Yan told Daohua a few words, everyone boarded the boat and left.

Watching the boat go away, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua turned around and returned to Taohua Nunnery.

On the boat, Yan Wenxiu looked at the closed door and wanted to knock on the door to go in, but he gave up.

The grandmother told his parents that he didn't want to call him. It should be because he didn't want him to know about something, so he wouldn't be able to force him to ask. Thinking of this, I went to the deck.

In the room, Mrs. Yan handed the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by Gu Jian to Mrs. Li: "You should keep this token."

Mrs. Li took the jade pendant, looked at Madam Yan and Yan Zhigao, and said uncertainly, "Is the marriage between our daughter and the little prince so settled?"

Looking at Yu Pei, Yan Zhigao's heart was very complicated. He really couldn't help sighing, "It's great" because of the luck of the eldest daughter. He saved someone casually, and actually saved the emperor's mother.

"We've all worshipped in front of the old lady, so naturally it's settled." Saying that, she motioned for Mrs. Li to put away the jade pendant.

Mrs. Li felt that this jade pendant was a little hot, and her heart was very complicated. On the one hand, she was happy that her daughter had a good home, and the little prince could be considered to have grown up with her. She had nothing to say about her character and appearance, and she became friends with Wen Kai and Wen Tao. , In the future, even in view of the relationship with the Yan family over the years, he will treat his daughter well.

But on the other hand, she was a little worried. The identity of the little prince was there, and her daughter married into the royal family. It was not easy to be a royal daughter-in-law. If her daughter was wronged in the future, they would not be able to intervene.

Mrs. Yan added: "As long as we know the identities of Sister Gu and Master Gu, don't tell others. There is also the marriage between Daohua and Yeyang, which must be made public by the royal family. "

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li nodded solemnly.

When she returned to Yan's mansion that day, Mrs. Li instructed the housekeeper to remove all the bright things in the mansion, and informed the concierge that any invitations to the banquet would be rejected.

If you don't know the identity of Granny Gu, it's fine. If you know it, then their family will abide by the rules.

According to the law, when the empress dowager and concubine dies, officials must observe the festival for three months.

After arranging the house, Mrs. Li took a break and took a sip of tea. Thinking that her daughter had already worshipped Xiao Yeyang, she felt a little mixed in her heart. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Who would have thought that she could not get involved in the marriage of the three.

At the same time, the capital, the imperial palace.

When the emperor heard the news of the death of Granny Gu, he locked himself in the Qianqing Palace and did not go to court for three consecutive days.

In an instant, the court was full of rumors that the emperor had not recovered from his injuries and was seriously ill.

The princes of several older branches became more active and began to make friends with ministers.

Eunuch An looked at the several princes who came to inquire about the news with trepidation, and broke into a cold sweat for them.

On the fourth day, the emperor went to court.

Baiguan and the princes who were on errands saw that the emperor's face was really bad, and their expressions couldn't help but move.

The emperor saw the expressions of everyone below, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.

After the court meeting, the emperor scolded several officials, and the depression in his heart was released.

However, after going down to court, the emperor saw that his wife went to the Cining Palace to ask for peace, and the anger in his heart burned again.

His biological mother passed away, and only the Yan family went to offer condolences to the spirit, while the Empress Dowager Jiang could receive greetings from the wife every month. At this moment, the emperor's hatred for the Jiang family reached its peak.

Especially when he thought that as an emperor, he couldn't openly observe the rules for his mother, which made him even more annoyed.

For a period of time after that, both the ministers and the concubine found that the emperor's temper was getting more and more irritable. Whenever an official held a wedding banquet at his home, or the concubine wore red and green, they would be severely scolded.

The fifth prince, who was going to marry on February 20, was directly cancelled by the emperor. After that, several officials were demoted, and several concubines were demoted.

In this regard, although the officials and the imperial concubine are a bit baffled, they are still very discerning and begin to restrain their behavior.

After all, the emperor's preference is everyone's preference, and no one wants to get in trouble.

In late February, the Eight Kings fled to the northern border, united with the Tatars, and captured three border cities together. The news came back to the capital, and the whole country shook.
