Chapter 153 Face-to-Face
Zhan Lengze has been staying in the study since he came back, and no one is allowed to disturb him.
This common choice in the power game made him feel an unprecedented pressure. On the one hand, Yan Ji and his son Duoduo, on the other hand, Princess Xingqing, the golden armor and the throne of the Flame Kingdom.
The difference of one thought is two different endings.
Compared with Zhan Lengze's painful choice, Yan Ji seems much easier. Although the two aunts are a little domineering, they have nothing to say about themselves. In this case, there is really a reason to be the road of being the head mother.
When she came out of the Mingyue Palace, the little aunt Mingfei repeatedly urged her to send more to the palace as soon as possible. Naturally, Yan Ji did not dare to neglect and agreed.
"What did you say, mother, what did you say?" Duoduo held his mother's face and kneaded it arbitrarily.
"I said," Yan Ji was ferocious, but she still spit out her words.
"I said that my mother's aunt is the Mingfei in the palace. He said that he likes you very much and wants to take you to live in the palace for two days. When is more convenient for you?"
"I can do it whenever it's convenient, anytime, and now."
Yan Ji looked at the big round moon outside and really didn't know how to describe her well-known son.
My son really wants to enter the palace, and even put forward this seemingly excessive request more than once. The palace, for Yan Ji, is a world that can't survive. If the small banquet house is just a silk hole, then the palace is a hell cave of demons dancing around.
Duoduo, a pure and kind child who is put there, will not write any sung and sad history of palace struggle at all, but will only become a victim in the history of court struggle.
However, with the protection of the little aunt, there should be no need to worry so much.
"Mom," Duoduo said excitedly, "Are you leaving soon? So how about I go and pack up now?"
"Sister Lan'er, Sister Lan'er, come and help me quickly. I'm going to the palace. Hurry up and help me pack my luggage."
Yan Ji shook her head helplessly. Forget it. If her son wants to go so far, then simply indulge once. While Duo is away, it is best to show her fists in the banquet house to let them know what the real Yanji looks like.
Chrysanthemum Garden.
"Mother," Yan Mingde lowered his head and said, "My son has heard that this Yan Ji went to the Shangshu Mansion and the Empress Mingfei in the palace today. What do you think he wants to do?"
"What can I do, what else can I do," the old lady sneered and shook her head. "Not long after this Yanji came back, she began to want to be the mother of our banquet house. I'm not dead yet. Does she really think she can do whatever she wants?"
When the old lady said this, she looked a little excited and coughed trembling for a long time.
Yan Mingde took the tea cup from the lotus palm and said, "Oh, mother, what do you think you are doing? Don't hurt your body for a person who is not worth it. You should understand that everything here is your mother. Even if Yan Ji wants to do something, it is impossible."
The old lady snorted coldly: "Yan Zijing and Yan Zixia, two dead maids, one relying on the fate of the Shangshu Mansion and the other relying on the emperor's favorite concubine, dared to do whatever they want in my banquet house. They really turned upside down."
"At the beginning, we shouldn't have promised to marry them to such a good family one by one. As a result, when our banquet was in trouble, we stood by and stood by one, which was not a good thing."
Yan Mingde was naturally very happy about his mother's scolding, especially the Empress Ming, who suffered a lot in the hands of the second prince. As a result, his mother went to the palace to ask for help, but he didn't see it. It's really unreasonable. I don't know what to say.
"Not much, mother," Yan Mingde said a little worriedly, "we still have to think about this matter. If the Empress Ming and Mrs. Ming really come back to help Yan Ji, then we will hate it a little trouble."
The old lady stood up and said fiercely, "What's the trouble? Outside, they are the imperial lady and the noble concubine. Once they return to the banquet house, that is, that is, the people in our house. Besides, they all say that the water spilled by the married daughter. They can't get involved in the matter of our banquet house at all. You can rest assured. All right."
Yan Mingde dares not say much. His mother's self-confidence is really not good for their second wife. He has seen how powerful the Empress Mingfei is.
At the beginning, I really wanted to give him to a senior official as a little wife, but this dead girl didn't know where to hear the news that the emperor had left the palace. She even boldly hooked up with the emperor, and even later entered the palace and became a noble concubine. This was something that Yan Mingde didn't expect.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the power of the banquet family still falls into his own hands, Yan Mingde still needs to be prepared for both hands.
The next morning.
The eldest lady was very anxious to go to Yunshu Pavilion. Seeing that Da Yanji was helping to pack more things, she said very uncomfortablely, "You said that your little aunt is really. This child is still young, and she still has no feelings for him. How on earth are you going to get along with him?"
Yan Ji curled her hair and said, "What's wrong? Mother, didn't I say that for Duoduo, the palace should be the safest place. When we get the banquet house smoothly, Duoduo will be really safe at that time.
Looking at Yan Ji's happy appearance, the eldest lady knew that the two little aunts had been completely persuaded.
"Yan Ji," the first lady looked at him and said, "Are the two little aunts very supportive of you? I knew it would be like this."
Yan Ji thought about the day, kowtowed and cried. She didn't know how she came here, but she was still very gratified to see her mother, and the two aunts in the banquet house were also unique in the capital.
"Mother, don't worry. My aunt has said that she will send Duoduo to live in the palace for two days, and then help me come back to cheer. As for my aunt, he said that as long as my aunt comes back, she will definitely not refuse."
"That's really great. Mother is waiting for this day."
Yan Ji felt that she had met the two aunts with such a big fanfare. I'm afraid that the old lady must have heard something and will send a message to interrogate them soon. She must think of a perfect solution.
Sure enough, as soon as Duoduo was sent to the carriage, Yan Ji saw Yan Mingde standing behind her, smiling uneasily.
"I said, second master, what are you going to do in broad daylight," Yan Ji said with her arms in her arms.
"Why am I scary," Yan Mingde shook his head and said, "I want to tell you that the old lady said that there is something important to discuss with you, so you'd better hurry up."
"Discuss important things with me," Yan Ji sneered. When did the banquet house start to pay attention to her? "It's not to discuss things. I see that I'm going to quarrel soon. Second master, if I hurt you later, say sorry first."
The second old man was stunned for a moment and said with a smile on his face, "Yan Ji, tell me about you, we are all a family. Why do you have to do this? Let's go in quickly."
When I walked into the Chrysanthemum Garden Hall, I saw that the old lady was leisurely using tea. As soon as Yan Ji came in, she sat down and did not pay attention to the old lady at all.
The old lady threw the teacup on the table and said, "Yan Ji, I heard that you went to the Shangshu Mansion and the palace yesterday. Is this true?"
Yan recently raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "I said, old lady, things should be open and aboveboard. It's a little awkward for you to follow me like this."
"It's not true," Yan Mingde stood behind the old lady and said, "Yan Ji, how can you talk to the old lady like this?"
"How I speak has nothing to do with you," Yan Ji stared. "This is my business with the old lady. Let's all the idle people go."
"Miscellaneous people, etc." The old lady was unhappy. "Mingde is my own son and the successor of the future banquet house. Do you think he is qualified to stand here?"
Yan Ji glanced at Yan Mingde carelessly. He blew a loud whistle and stood up and said, "Madam, if I guess correctly, my grandfather, that is, when the old man passed away, handed over the power of governing the banquet house to my father. How could it be Yan Mingde's turn?"
Yan Mingde stood up and said, "Yan Ji, the old man did say so, but later your father took the initiative to give up, so his mother did it for him. Of course, it will be me from now on."
"Oh, that's it," Yan Ji said with a fake smile. "It turns out that you want to wait for the old lady to occupy the whole banquet house a hundred years later. I said, second master, you still need to have that ability."
Yan Mingde's face turned red. He didn't expect Yan Ji to say so, leaving no face at all.
The old lady patted the table and said, "Even so, you must understand that the power of this banquet house, no matter who it is, will not be you."
"Why," Yan Ji waited to look at the old lady. "Why didn't the old lady see your momentum when you begged me to come back to the banquet house?"
"I beg you to come back," the old lady sneered. "At that time, it was because you colluded with the second prince to frame Mingde in order to put our banquet house into an unkindness and unjust situation, so that you can carry out your revenge plan."
In the revenge plan, Yan Ji smiled again. What is full of loopholes? This old lady is the best explanation. Since she has said that she was murdered six years ago has nothing to do with him, why do you use the word revenge?
Yan Ji looked at the two coldly and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I came back to revenge. Six years ago, nothing came out for a day. No one wants peace. I did what I said."
