When the Alluring Queen opened her eyes, all the kings in the world knelt down
Chapter 20 The favor is written off
This old lady of the Jiang family was of noble birth. When she married Taifu Jiang, she was a dignified prince of the royal family. She was from a pure royal family.
However, the royal family has always fought against each other and fought to the death for the throne. Prince Rong's mansion was uprooted long before the emperor ascended the throne, leaving behind this disheartened old lady.
Yan Li had not seen her grandmother much since she could remember. She knew that she had been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, and did not see anyone else. She always communicated everything to her nanny Ji.
Before, Yan Li was unjustly accused and had her engagement broken off, and no one in the Jiang family told her. However, after Jiang Jingyue became the crown princess, Luo Shi couldn't wait to send someone to tell the old lady the good news.
The old lady who had never asked about worldly affairs seemed to suddenly come to life when she heard that her granddaughter had been brought into the palace to be the crown princess: "Jingyue has become the crown princess?"
"Yes." After announcing the good news, Luo Shi suddenly looked sad, "It's just that things are not going well in Jingyue Palace."
The old lady's expression changed, and she quickly asked about the cause and effect. When she learned that Yan Li's engagement was broken off by the prince, her expression instantly turned cold: "Just like her mother, she has no place on the stage."
When she said this, her tone was like belittling a person who had nothing to do with her, cold and callous, as if Jiang Yi was not her ten-month-pregnant daughter at all.
Luo Shi knew that she didn't like Jiang Yi, let alone Yan Li, so she added insult to injury and accused Yan Li of his inappropriate behavior and arrogant and domineering nature: "She did something she shouldn't have done, and I taught her a lesson for her elders." Is it wrong? She secretly sent someone to complain to the palace. The emperor thought that we bullied her. Not only was she dissatisfied with the Jiang family, but Jingyue was also implicated when she entered the palace and became the princess. Jingyue and the prince were punished every day in the past two days. Kneeling in Fengyi Palace to copy scriptures, Yunming and I were so worried every day that we couldn't eat or sleep well..."
As he said this, he couldn't help but blush: "The emperor took pity on her as an orphan without a father and a mother, so he made her a princess. Unexpectedly, after Yan Li became powerful, he would sow discord every day, and Jing Yue entered the palace. I have never had a peaceful life..."
The old lady snorted coldly: "It's really against her."
So he walked out of the Buddhist hall.
The irritation in the eyes was quite big, but it was nothing to the old lady. After all, she had experienced such a scene when she was young.
But when this kind of arrogance was placed on Yan Li, it was really an eyesore.
"Yan Li." Mrs. Jiang looked at Yan Li coldly, her attitude was arrogant, "How is your cousin doing in the palace?"
It's a pity that Yan Li doesn't care about her arrogance: "How do I know how she is?"
"Presumptuous!" the old lady shouted coldly, "Did you come back to put on airs the other day?"
Yan Li looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Didn't my grandma ask me to come back?"
"you--"
"My cousin is now the Crown Princess. She lives with the Crown Prince in the East Palace and enjoys the glory and wealth. What does grandma have to worry about?" Yan Li looked indifferent, "My Jiang family was beaten and we entered the palace with scars. We haven't been here for so many days. See, grandma doesn’t even have a word of concern, so you still expect me to be respectful and coquettish to you?”
The old lady's face turned green and she was suddenly speechless.
If it were normal, she would definitely give her a good lesson, but today there are people in the palace. After all, the old lady has eaten rice for so many years, and understands that the emperor's authority is strict and cannot be challenged.
So she followed the words and asked, "How is your injury?"
Yan Li walked through the courtyard, and when he passed by the Jiang family, he didn't even look at him and said, "The doctor gave me the best medicine. After so many days, I'm fine."
"Yan Li, do you have to be so yin and yang?" Jiang Tingyan stood up and stalked after you, "The Jiang family has raised you for so many years, providing you with food and shelter. Not only are you not grateful at all, but you have become so rebellious. You dare to hurt your mother, do you still have any moral integrity in your eyes?"
"Insolent!" Nanny An came over and scolded her sternly, "The Jiang family is so well-behaved, how dare you yell at Duke Nanyang?"
Jiang Tingyan sneered: "What kind of princess is she? None of the serious gentlemen in the palace can show off like her -"
Snap!
Taifu Jiang slapped him in the face with an angry expression: "Kneel down!"
Jiang Tingyan couldn't believe it and looked at him: "Grandpa?"
"Father." Jiang Yunming came quickly, "Father, what are you doing?"
"Yan'er!" Luo Shi hurried forward and looked at his face distressedly, then turned to look at Yan Li with cold eyes.
"Kneel down!" Taifu Jiang stared at Jiang Tingyan with cold eyes, "Do you want the Jiang family to be known as disloyal?"
Jiang Tingyan bit his tongue and stared at Yan Li fiercely for a while before kneeling down.
"From now on, everyone in the Jiang family must be respectful in front of Duke Nanyang. Anyone who dares to offend Duke Nanyang will be punished according to the family law." Jiang Taifu warned sternly. After speaking, he glanced at Yan Li and said, "I have given up the throne to Liuliyuan. After everyone has packed it up, you can see if there is anything else that needs to be purchased, and I will send someone to buy it tomorrow."
Yan Li turned around and looked around at the children of the Jiang family, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, three cousins... Well, the members of the Jiang family are relatively simple. Firstly, because the Taifu attaches great importance to his reputation, and secondly, he is also an old lady. He was born into a noble family when he was young, so Jiang Taifu had several concubines in his life. Over the years, Jiang Yunming had a son and a married daughter.
In addition to Luo's wife, Jiang Yunming had two concubines. One of them was pregnant, but because Luo was jealous, the concubine's child had no chance to be born. She found an excuse to deal with the other two concubines several years ago.
So the three brothers of Jiang Tingyi and Jiang Jingyue were all born to Luo.
Yan Li is the cousin of this family. Naturally, her status cannot be compared with Jiang Jingyue, the legitimate daughter. The three cousins have never looked at her and doted on Jiang Jingyue.
When Yan Li was framed by the prince, the eldest son of the Jiang family was not at home. He was drinking with several sons of the prince's party. The eldest son of the Jiang family was a thousand households in Jingjiwei. The third son of the Jiang family was studying with several students and planned to participate in the imperial examination every three years.
But it doesn't matter if they are not at home. Even if they are at home, they will not protect Yan Li. Instead, they will blame her together with the prince.
So the death of the orphan Yan Li is tragic.
In such a big mansion, no one really cares about her, even though these people are more or less related by blood.
Yan Li looked at Jiang Tingyan kneeling down, looking down at him coldly: "The Jiang family has provided me with food and shelter over the years. Even if it is converted into silver, the position of a crown princess should be enough to pay it back, right?"
Luo's eyes changed: "Yan Li, Jingyue and the prince's marriage was granted by the emperor."
"Indeed." Yan Li smiled, "Otherwise, I will go to the palace now to ask if the emperor is willing to revoke his order and let the Jiang family take Jiang Jingyue back?"
Luo bit her tongue: "Do you dare?"
"Don't mention the grace of raising me in the future." Yan Li looked at her coldly, his voice piercingly cold, "When your family was calculating my marriage, you had already written off all the grace of raising me. From now on, I don't owe anyone anything."
"You——"
"Shut up!" Jiang Taifu glared at Luo, "Are you done?"
Luo's face changed, and finally shut up, not daring to speak again.
"Madame An." Yan Li turned around and ordered, "You stay by my side for the next two days. If I need anything, you are responsible for telling the old lady or the first lady, and they will arrange someone to buy it."
Madame An nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will serve you well and will never let anyone bully you."
Yan Li hummed and walked towards the inner courtyard. Madame An, Qinglian, Baidie and other palace servants followed quietly behind. The two young eunuchs did not follow in, but stood in the front yard, lowering their eyebrows and eyes, and remained silent.
Walking into the glass courtyard, it was indeed very tidy inside and outside, and the couch by the window was covered with gorgeous brocade, soft and comfortable.
Yan Li walked over and sat down.
