After Time Travel, I Married the Heroine and Her Brother - Chapter 84
The members of the Chen family all looked ecstatic, and each of them straightened their backs. Not only Prince Wen rushed over to them, but His Majesty also came here in person. What does this mean? It shows that both His Majesty and the county king have taken a fancy to their Chen family and will definitely make decisions for them.
What really hurt the interests of Erfang this time, Zou was the most angry person among the three. She looked down on Ye Ping in her heart, and kept criticizing Ye Ping as an elder. Right now, he felt more confident, and looked at Ye Ping with a look of complacency that couldn’t be concealed.
After a flattening sound, everyone got up.
Emperor Jing Qing sat on the main seat in the hall, and glanced sharply at everyone in the hall.
A concubine who is full of flowers and branches, Wen Yu can be regarded as a foreigner.
Some palace people moved the stools and placed them on top of the concubines with trepidation. Everyone is not used to this, because everyone knows His Majesty’s love for Wen Yu. When Wen Yu was young, he was often carried by His Majesty to court. That is the most honored dragon chair in the world, which shows how much His Majesty loves and values this nephew.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yu didn’t sit down, but stood beside Ye Ping.
As a result, all eyes in the hall were focused on Ye Ping. The Chen family was the most surprised. Zou’s eyes, which were squeezed to the point of being small, opened wider than ever.
At this time, Empress Gu opened her mouth, and told Emperor Jing Qing what happened just now in a gentle and soft voice. The narration was extremely neutral and pertinent, without adding any words or phrases.
As she spoke, she poured tea for Emperor Jing Qing herself. The hand wearing the gold armor is probing the side of the cup, elegantly trying the temperature of the tea, and then serving it respectfully.
Emperor Jing Qing and her were the original couple, and he always treated her with dignity. He took the teacup naturally, took a sip after uncovering the lid, and then put it down.
Several members of the Chen family came out together, led by the old lady of the Chen family. From the beginning of the accident in the Chen family, when they said that they were favored by the eldest princess, their voices were full of bitter tears, and their words were full of gratitude. He said how kind-hearted the eldest princess was, and how filial Wen Yu was, and he defended them to the utmost in his words, lest someone would ruin their reputation and so on.
When they spoke, Emperor Jing Qing’s inquiring eyes fell on Wen Yu.
“Did Yu’er know about this in advance?”
Everyone looked at Wen Yu, his answer was the most important.
The Chen family thought that Wen Yu was so kind to them in the past, so they would not let a woman mess around and ruin the relationship between him and the Chen family, it must be Ye Ping’s own decision. They waited for Wen Yu to speak, and for Ye Ping to lose face in full view.
The eyes of the concubines became more subtle, especially Concubine Wang Hui.
Concubine Wang Hui is the second wife of the Wang family and the cousin of Mrs. Wen. She has the second prince under her knees, and her position in the palace is stable. Because of the relationship between the Wen family and the Duke’s Mansion, she always thought that even if Wen Yu was not on her side, she would not fall to the queen and the prince because of this relationship.
But now, she wasn’t sure.
This county concubine is obviously her cousin and niece, but she didn’t expect that the reputation of their royal family would plummet. What’s even more annoying is that such a woman actually married into the princess mansion.
In this way, she wants to know Wen Yu’s attitude more than anyone else.
Wen Yu grew up in the palace, and many of the concubines here have tried to please him more or less. He has been different from other children since he was a child, and he doesn’t like to be approached by others. Apart from those who accompanied him in those years, he would rather play with the wild cats in the palace than get close to any of the so-called little aunts.
Hearing Emperor Jing Qing’s question, he replied: “Before I got married, I was too casual about human relations. Now that I have married a wife, the affairs of the inner house should naturally be taken care of by the princess of the county. The princess of the county does things Be cautious, follow the rules in everything you say and do, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.”
Ye Ping felt relieved when she heard this.
The one surnamed Wen winked a bit.
She is comfortable, but the Chen family is sad.
How can this be!
“Jun Wang, you… you were not like this before, we thought it was the princess who made a mistake…” Zou said.
Wen Yu looked over with a cold stare, “Is the arrangement of the princess princess impolite?”
Zou’s body is full of coldness. Although Wen Yu has treated the Chen family well in terms of human relations and etiquette these years, he seldom shows up in person. They have been inflated for a long time, and it is different for them to still be this cousin. She thought of the rumors and reputation of this nephew with trepidation, and her body trembled several times like sifting chaff.
“No…no.”
“Since there is no disrespect, why did you go to the palace to complain?”
“I… we just mentioned it casually…”
What a casual mention.
Queen Gu’s eyes turned cold.
The complaints were brought before her, if it wasn’t for Mrs. Ye’s tough personality, she might have been frightened by them. Originally, she had no intention of wooing Ye Ping, because she knew her cards better than anyone else. Her son is the prince, as long as she and the prince do not make mistakes, His Majesty will not abolish their mother and son.
So even if she knew that behind Concubine Wang Hui there was the royal family and the Duke’s mansion, and even the county king would fall to the second prince, she never messed up.
The human heart is like this, if there is no hope, it will be fine. Once the dawn appears, there is no reason not to grasp it. Ye Ping obviously didn’t get along with the Wang family, and she never got close to Concubine Wang Hui several times in the palace. Now that the Ye and Song families have made an in-law relationship, even if Empress Gu will not try to win her over, she will sell her for a good deal.
“Really just mentioning it casually? I just heard that you have been greatly wronged, and let me make decisions for you. Otherwise, I would not call the princess of the county into the palace. If it is said this way, it is true Is there something wrong with this palace?”
The members of the Chen family turned pale and knelt down in fright.
“The empress is benevolent and righteous, it’s the minister’s wife who was thinking about it for a while.”
“The matter of human relations in the inner house, you are more wronged than anyone else. Thanks to the magnanimity of the princess, she has been explaining in a nice way. I see that you are not only thinking about it this time, but also thinking about it. .”
Some people have borrowed something from others for so long that not only have they forgotten to return it, but they have taken it as their own.
The Chen family pleaded guilty and kowtowed again.
Zou apologized to Ye Ping, saying that everything happened because of her own confusion. It’s fine to talk about it now, I hope Ye Ping won’t argue with them.
Since His Majesty and Wen Yu came in, Ye Ping remained respectful and did not speak. Now that the flames of war have shifted from superior to subordinate, it’s time for her to act.
“The second cousin is really confused. You are people who have experienced turmoil, so you should be more cautious in your words and deeds.”
As soon as the events of the Chen family were mentioned, the Zou family regained their confidence. They are just offshoots of the Chen family, if the Duke’s mansion had not aroused the suspicion of the late emperor, they would not have been implicated.
“Back then when something happened to the Chen family, we were exiled to a barren land. How many people died of freezing and starvation along the way. When we got there, we were driven to dig mines, and we lived a life worse than pigs and dogs…
“So are you complaining about being implicated by the Duke’s mansion back then?”
“No, it’s not… It was just that it was really not easy at that time, and I managed to escape the catastrophe. Now thinking about it, I still have lingering fears…”
“Since ancient times, the rise and fall of a family has been closely related to the people of the clan. When it is prosperous, it is favored by it, and when it dies, it is damaged.
The three old wives of the Chen family were dumbfounded. The members of the third house were all offshoots of the Chen family, and they were just families with enough food and clothing back then. They are not from high families, and their knowledge is limited after all. Over the years, relying on the fact that he is the only remaining blood of the Chen family, he has gradually expanded, and he seems to regard himself as His Majesty’s real uncle’s family.
How could this Mrs. Ye be so good at talking, if they had known so, they would not have messed with her.
“Your Majesty, the ministers and the others just wanted to ask the princess why the gift list is different this time, I’m afraid there may be some misunderstanding…”
“Do you really just want to ask? You are the ones who came to the door aggressively to question the teacher, and you are the ones who came to the empress. People in the world often say that a small favor should be repaid by the spring. When the elder princess was full of compassion, She was let down by you so much. She never thought of asking you to repay her, but she never thought that you would force her son and daughter-in-law to be your cows and horses and continue to support your family!”
When Emperor Jing Qing heard Ye Ping’s words, he immediately showed his might.
The person he respects and is closest to in this life is his sister Huang. He has no objection to the arrangement made by her back then, but he will never allow these people to spoil her wishes.
The Chen family is really greedy, and even wants to force Yu’er to support them all the time. Such an ungrateful bunch of waste should be let where they come from.
But in this case, he can’t say it, and neither can Yu’er.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for Ye Shi to come forward in this matter.
The members of the Chen family already knew they were afraid, especially the Zou family.
“Princess Princess, we are not… we don’t think so…”
“I misunderstood you as co-authors. You are not ungrateful people at all, and you won’t hold on to Zhuangzi anymore, let alone let us support you, right?”
Of course not.
Several people secretly groaned.
The old lady of the Chen family frowned and kowtowed. “Your Majesty, this matter is all a misunderstanding, and it’s because we were thinking about it for a while. I also hope that the princess of the county will not have the same knowledge as us, and move around as she pleases.”
This is still trying to occupy Zhuangzi and not return it.
Ye Ping sneered inwardly, trying to take advantage of such a mess, but there was no way.
“In this case, we will take back Zhuangzi. In the future, we can follow the etiquette in dealing with people.”
“…Prince Princess, Zhuangzi was given to us by the Eldest Princess. There are dozens of people in our family, but they all rely on Zhuangzi to live. If you take Zhuangzi back, we… how will we live!”
“Don’t cry poorly, let’s settle the score.” Ye Ping came prepared, how could they allow them to get along with Mui. “It has been twenty-six years since the eldest princess entrusted Zhuangzi to you to take care of it. In the past twenty-six years, you three householders have not bought any land, but there are twelve shops and eight houses. They are all in prefectures and counties outside Beijing. Leaving aside the silver deposits at home, the silver deposits in various silver villages alone amount to more than 20,000 taels.
I have roughly calculated based on your previous situation, if you want to save these family properties with your own ability, even if you can live to be eighty years old, you will have to eat and drink for eight lifetimes. Why was it possible to live before, but now that there are so many industries, it is impossible to live? Could it be that too much money is too hot? If this is the case, you can return these things to us, we will not be too hot! “
Everyone was stunned now.
The three old ladies of the Chen family turned paler than the other, and they did not dare to quibble in front of His Majesty. They never imagined that Ye Ping would come prepared.
Ye Ping quietly waited for their answer. If they obediently returned Zhuangzi, these things would be fine. If she still wants to take possession and not return it, she doesn’t mind being a villain completely.
Wen Yuyou’s cold gaze was faintly disturbed.
When the little girl was serious about calculations, she was very clear-headed, and she was quite calm. I don’t know what she used to do? But doing a job that often deals with people?
At that time, was there anyone around her who admired her?
Thinking of this, the waves in his eyes turned into undercurrents.
Sensing the aura emanating from him, Ye Ping was startled and puzzled. What does the surname Wen mean? Could it be that she is dissatisfied with her being too fussy?
At this time, the members of the Chen family didn’t have any intention of dealing with Ye Ping, they only hoped that His Majesty would not blame her, and passed this test safely.
Emperor Jing Qing frowned, playing with the wrench on his thumb.
“I remember that you are called poor every year, but I didn’t expect to leave these things behind.”
The Chen family is indeed called poor every year, in order to let His Majesty reward more and let Wen Yu get more money. From the initial uneasiness to the later peace of mind, their appetites and courage grew, and they never thought that they would have today.
Ye Ping added fuel to the fire, “If you don’t want to return Zhuangzi, but still want to continue to be raised by the county king, it’s not impossible. As long as you list three valid reasons, we will pretend that this has never happened. “
Not to mention three, the Chen family can’t say even one. Could it be that they still want to save more money, want to buy a bigger house, and still want to wait for others to send money to their door?
They couldn’t say anything, Ye Ping still had something to say.
“It seems that the county king is also at fault.”
As soon as she said this, the hall fell silent again.
Some people secretly thought that Mrs. Ye could be so complacent that she accused her husband in public. What kind of character Wen Junwang is, he must not be able to bear it.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Wen Yu was not angry, but listened attentively.
How can this be!
Emperor Jing Qing’s eyes were like torches, and there was a glimmer of interest.
Ye Ping frowned slightly, feeling distressed. “The ancients said that being used to a child is like killing a child, and it is probably the same with relatives. These years, the county king has raised them and given everything he can. They got it too easily, and gradually lost their heart, thinking that everything is for granted, and more and more Desires are hard to fill.”
“The princess of the county is very right. I will pay attention to it in the future.”
Ye Ping secretly thought that children can be taught, and that the one named Wen seems to be a man who can be taught. If it is possible, I don’t know if he can be trained to be a good husband.
It seems a little eager to try, what should I do?
The members of the Chen family were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, the county king actually listened to Ye’s words like this. Before the Ye family and the Wang family had a fight like that, the Wang family didn’t get any cheap. Why do they have such short memories, it’s not good to offend anyone, but to offend this Ye family who encouraged his mother to break off the relationship with his grandfather’s family.
At the moment, there are repeated apologies, and my intestines are full of regret.
Ye Ping was unmoved, and said righteously: “The ancestors of the Chen family fought in all directions with the emperor, and their achievements are as powerful as ever. Even if the future generations make mistakes, they cannot erase their immortal achievements. There was an accident in the Chen family, all of which have been commented on by later generations in history books. Although I am a woman, I also know the truth of being upright in my words and righteous in my actions. As descendants of the Chen family, you should cherish the great achievements of your ancestors and be cautious in your words Let them rest their spirits in heaven.”
Well, even if future generations make mistakes, they cannot erase the great achievements of the ancestors.
Empress Gu was greatly shocked. Their Gu family, like the Chen family, made great contributions to the founding of the country, and they were also suspected by the late emperor. Although they were not nearly wiped out like the Chen family, their vitality has been seriously injured. The most distressing thing for the elders in the family is to shame the ancestors, ashamed of this matter and unwilling to show up easily, so these years have become more and more silent.
Therefore, the two characters of merit and demerit have their own history books and later generations will comment on them. Even if the descendants of later generations really made mistakes, the achievements of the ancestors have long been engraved in history, and no one can erase them.
How can a person who can say such remarks be an ordinary person.
It’s no wonder that the princess of the county is in His Majesty’s eyes.
Ye Ping at this time is quite different from just now. When facing a group of female relatives, she speaks and acts in a common and sharp way. Now in front of His Majesty, all her words abruptly rose to several heights.
It was only then that everyone remembered that this woman was the one who could make a master speechless, and her literary skills could be said to be justified in every word. So some of those rumors may be true, and some are not.
Concubine Wang Hui frowned, looking at Ye Ping with obscure eyes. Why didn’t she know that her submissive cousin gave birth to such a powerful daughter. This girl is bold and careful, no wonder Sanfang didn’t please her.
She looked at Wen Yu vaguely, her heart turned cold.
A man looked at a woman with loving and warm eyes, what else could be the reason. She has never seen this county prince have such a human side. It turns out that the cold and lonely people in the world will also have emotional moments.
From this point of view, the situation is extremely unfavorable to her.
What can I do?
…
The Chen family thought that making a fuss would increase their prestige and continue the glory of the past, but they didn’t want to lose their wife and lose their army, and they couldn’t even keep Zhuangzi.
But their surname is Chen, and there are some things that Ye Ping can’t do too much. Therefore, relying on the things they bought over the years, they will be able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
After leaving the palace, Ye Ping suddenly felt that the air was much fresher.
Just now she has been restrained not to say, the women in that hall smell really strong of rouge hair oil and powder. The fragrance of orchid, sweet-scented osmanthus and peach blossom are mixed together, which is simply too much for people.
Sure enough, it is not an ordinary person who can be an emperor.
Wen Yu had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and those little wives who came to His Majesty should have liked him a lot. A picture of a group of gorgeous women surrounding a cold-faced little boy appeared in her mind, and she felt a little joy for no reason, and couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“So happy?” Wen Yu asked.
She nodded wildly, making a pleasant humming sound from her mouth.
“Zhuangzi was taken back by you, and it will be included in your dowry in the future.”
And such a good thing!
Ye Ping was ecstatic in her heart and almost cheered out loud.
She’s just so useless.
After getting into the carriage, she hugged him, coquettishly and obsessively, and even kissed Wen Yu’s face several times in a row, covering Wen Yu’s icy jade face with saliva.
Wen’s surname is too strong today, and she deserves her help.
“Today’s event is worthy of celebration, I invite the county king to dinner.”
Wen Yu’s eyes were extremely dark, and there was a faint light when he heard the words.
Was she also like this before, treating guests to dinner after finishing something? At that time, among the people she invited to dinner, was there anyone who admired her?
He held her hand tightly.
It used to be, he didn’t need to care.
Now she is his wife, life and death will not change.
forever.
