There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Everyone received the news, and the emperor naturally knew what happened at the birthday banquet of Princess Huijia.

An Gonggong vividly told the emperor what Daohua said about the two ladies of the Jiang family.

After listening to the emperor, he shook his head and laughed: "This girl and Ye Yang are really not a family that does not enter the house, and neither of them are willing to suffer losses!"

Eunuch An carefully looked at the emperor, and seeing that he was not unhappy, he said with a smile: "How about the little prince and the county magistrate of Shengping have a fate?"

The emperor smiled, thinking of what happened to his nephew from childhood to adulthood, and sighed: "It's very fateful." After speaking, his eyes narrowed, "How are Ye Yang and Yan girl rumored outside?"

Eunuch An glanced at the emperor's face, and replied cautiously, "Most of them say that the Lord of Shengping County seduces the little prince and behaves inappropriately."

The emperor snorted, threw the book on the imperial case, and said with a sneer: "It's really the consistent style of the Jiang family. If they don't like them, they will directly destroy it."

The emperor was not unhappy that Daohua was facing the Jiang family. On the contrary, if Daohua bowed his head in front of the Jiang family, he would be angry and disappointed.

How could the uncle's apprentice be afraid of the Jiang family?

Eunuch An didn't dare to answer, and stood with his head lowered and his eyes watching.

The emperor thought of his uncle who lived in the Four Seasons Villa. If the old man knew that his apprentice had been smeared by the Jiang family, he would be very angry. He was silent for a while, and said, "Go and pass Prince Ping into the palace."

Originally, he planned to wait for Xi Liao to meet, and there were not so many things, so he ordered the marriage of the two children, but now the Jiang family is so arrogant, and they made the matter of the two children public, so he simply fulfilled them. .

Eunuch An quickly stepped back and ordered someone to go out of the palace to invite Prince Ping.

The emperor prepared the decree for marriage, but saw Eunuch An come in with a wrinkled face: "What's wrong?"

Eunuch An: "Back to the emperor, the prince is not in the mansion. It is said that the flowers for making rouge in Zhuangzi are blooming, and the prince is busy shopping for the rouge paste."

The emperor listened and frowned subconsciously.

When I was in my 90s, I killed the queen mother's pet cat because of her greed. That time the queen mother was very angry. In order to please the queen mother, Xiao Jiu listened to Jiang Shizi's suggestion and made a box of rouge for the queen mother herself. Later, Xiaojiu became obsessed with rouge making.

Now the largest rouge shop in the capital is opened by Prince Ping's mansion.

Although Prince Ping is not doing his job, the emperor didn't say anything. Because of the Jiang family, if Xiaojiu could do more, he would be uneasy: "Let him enter the palace as soon as he comes back!"

Yan House.

After returning from the eldest princess' mansion, although the family didn't say anything, but seeing the sadness on the faces of Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li, as well as the hesitant words of Han Xinran and others, Daohua knew that the family was affected by the rumors. influences.

After the rumors spread, Mrs. Yan became anxious and became angry. She nodded her head to agree to the matter between her granddaughter and Ye Yang, and the marriage of the two children could not be settled. She was in a hurry. Dirty water was poured on her body, and she really couldn't sit still.

Someone called Mrs. Li and Yan Zhigao, and Mrs. Yan said directly: "In the beginning, the affair between Daohua and Yeyang was done by Sister Gu, Father Gu, and me. Now that things are like this, you prepare for me. Che, I will go to Four Seasons Villa to find the old man and ask him to give me an explanation."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to appease the anxious old mother: "Mother, don't worry, this royal family's marriage involves a lot, and it is not the old man who can make the decision. If you go to him, it is estimated that It's no use."

Mrs. Yan frowned: "So what should we do? Are we doing nothing and letting others clamber on my granddaughter?"

Yan Zhigao was silent for a moment, then said, "We still have to ask Ye Yang about this matter."

Mrs. Yan: "Then what are you waiting for, call someone quickly."

Yan Zhigao: "Yeyang has been out on business for the past two days. When he comes back, I will send someone to call him right away."

Mrs. Yan sighed: "What is this called, who did my good granddaughter provoke?"

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li looked at each other, feeling a little helpless in their hearts.

The capital is a chessboard centered on interests. From the moment they enter the capital, they become pawns on the chessboard. Here, the interests of all parties are intertwined, and even if they do nothing, they will also be involved in the contest of others among.

People's emotions can be contagious. Daohua is also very upset when she sees her family members are upset. But her and Xiao Yeyang's marriage is in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor is not something that their family can urge.

Daohua was in a bad mood, and her thoughts were not good. She talked to her family. After thinking about it, Wang Man'er prepared some medicinal herbs and daily necessities, changed her men's clothes, and went to see Dong Yuanyao again.

Daohua took the carriage directly to the entrance of the alley where Dong's courtyard was located in Nancheng, got off the car and took Wang Man'er and Bi Shi towards Dong's house.

During the period, the three noticed the quarrel coming from the end of the alley.

Nancheng was chaotic, and Daohua didn't mean to meddle in her own business. However, when she was about to knock on Dong's door, a female voice suddenly raised her voice with obvious anger.

"Girl, it seems to be Miss Dong's voice." Wang Man'er said immediately.

Daohua frowned, and beckoned to the bald head and the pillar guarding the carriage.

Nancheng was a mixed bag, so she didn't dare to be careless when she came here.

After the two came over, Daohua quickly walked towards the end of the alley.

"Yuanyao, is that you?"

There was still some distance from the end of the alley, and Daohua asked loudly.

The people at the end of the alley saw a few Daohua people and stopped arguing. Before Daohua walked in, a young man in brocade walked out from the corner, glanced at a few Daohua, and left with his men. .

As soon as those people left, Daohua hurried over and saw Dong Yuanyao and her maid Hongying around the corner.

At this moment, Dong Yuanyao's face still had obvious shame and anger.

Daohua hurriedly asked, "Yuanyao, are you alright?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Daohua didn't ask anything immediately, but left with Dong Yuanyao first.

The two found a tea shop and sat down, and then Daohua asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Dong Yuanyao has calmed down at this moment, but his words are still a little irritable: "He is Luo Hongyuan."

A look of surprise appeared on Daohua's face: "Luo Hongyuan? Is that the person who was betrothed by Duke Wei's government?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded calmly.

Daohua frowned: "You have already retired, what is he doing with you?"

Dong Yuanyao pursed her lips and didn't answer, looking unspeakable.

Standing by the side, Hong Ying couldn't hold back, she gritted her teeth and said, "The third son of Luo is really not a thing. Seeing that the Dong family has been defeated, he actually wants my girl to be his concubine!"

Hearing this, Daohua also felt anger in her heart.

She also heard from her elder brother about Yuan Yao and Luo San Gongzi. Before the Dong family's accident, the Wei Guogong's mansion received the news in advance, but the Luo family did not remind the Dong family, but hurriedly withdrew from their relatives.

This is already chilling enough, and now Yuan Yao is still asked to be a concubine, isn't this sincere insulting people?

Seeing the shame and anger on Dong Yuanyao's face, Daohua said worriedly, "Then the third son of Luo often comes to pester you?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "It didn't happen before, but the Luo family recently made a marriage to him. He doesn't seem to be very satisfied, and he doesn't know what kind of madness he thinks of me again."

Speaking of this, Dong Yuanyao was so angry, what did Luo Hongyuan think of her?

Daohua put down the teacup in her hand with a bang: "Bastard!" As she spoke, she looked at Dong Yuanyao worriedly, "Auntie, do they know about this?"

Dong Yuanyao shook his head: "The things at home are enough to bother them, so I didn't tell them."

Daohua: "But if the third son of Luo keeps pestering you, it won't work in the long run!" Especially now that the status gap between the Luo family and the Dong family is too great, if the third son of Luo really wants to come strong, the Dong family is afraid is unstoppable.

Dong Yuanyao was silent for a while and looked at Daohua: "Don't worry, I can handle it myself."

Daohua thought for a while: "Otherwise, you can live in my village for a while, and avoid it first."

Dong Yuanyao hesitated: "I think about it."

Daohua didn't rush her, but just said, "Yuanyao, you and I are not polite, you don't have to worry about anything, think that when you were in Zhongzhou, you helped me a lot, didn't you?"

Dong Yuanyao smiled: "I'm not polite to you, I'm just thinking about how to tell my family."

Daohua didn't say any more: "Then think about it quickly, let Hongying come to Yan's house and tell me."

Dong Yuanyao took Daohua's hand: "Yiyi, thank you."

Daohua smiled and shook her head: "I told you not to be so polite to me."

Dong Yuanyao changed the subject: "How about you, how are you these days?"

Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao, a little helpless: "Have you also heard the rumors about Xiao Yeyang and me?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded.

Daohua hummed: "The Jiang family is really capable!"

Dong Yuanyao sighed: "Yiyi, I know that the little prince is very kind to you, but you must not underestimate the Jiang family because of this. Not to mention the queen, there are still many powerful and important officials attached to the Jiang family in the court."

"In the past few years, the emperor gradually gathered his power and eliminated the Eight Kings and One Party. The title of 'Jiang Banchao' was gradually not mentioned, but even so, compared with the Jiang family, the foundation of the little prince is still Too thin."

Daohua was stunned, Jiang Banchao? This was really the first time she had heard of it.

No wonder the emperor was so afraid of the Jiang family, she couldn't bear it if it was on her!

Dong Yuanyao continued: "The Jiang family has always been domineering. You and I know Jiang Wanying's thoughts about the little prince. You must be more careful. This capital, on the surface, is prosperous and colorful, but it is full of all kinds of pickles behind the scenes. Insidious things."

Daohua nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

After chatting with Dong Yuanyao for a while, Daohua saw that she was not in good spirits, so she went home.
