Chapter 230 Yan Ling Niangniang, Bao Jin Ruyi
When Empress Yanling saw the emperor's worried face, she knew that she must have thought of a major event in the court. When Mrs. Yanling heard the emperor sigh, she hurriedly whispered, "Your Majesty, I have a ruthless request..."
The emperor withdrew his mind and turned his head to look at the Empress Yanling and asked, "What's wrong with your beloved concubine?"
Yan Lingniang picked another cherry and put it in the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the daughter of the governor of Wuming County and the eldest son of Prime Minister An have decided on this marriage for more than two years, but it has not been easy for the matter to make some progress until now. Mrs. Ann specially asked people to bring the news to the palace, probably to please the harem or something. The Empress Dowager is still salute the Buddha and has ordered not to disturb it. This matter is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Wuming County. I think it should be cautious, so... I want to invite your majesty's concubine to return home to visit relatives, and take this opportunity to let the daughter of Lord He, the governor of Wuming County, to meet my concubine, so that I can give a happy. And so that others don't look jealous and ask for anything.
After listening to this, the emperor shook his head with a wry smile. Naturally, he also knows about the harem and the families of the important ministers outside. The relationship here does not have to be simple in the court. In case it is not handled well, not only the Empress Yan Ling will be secretly talked about, but I'm afraid that the harem will not be peaceful at that time.
"If the concubine is thoughtful, just do as you say." After saying this, the emperor thought for a moment and said, "Since the mother is dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, let's pay more attention to the concubine in the harem."
When Yanling heard this, her heart was like a flower. Isn't the emperor saying that he is telling her that he can gradually take over the management of the harem now?
With such a good thing, the Empress Yanling is even more confident when she comes out of the palace next day.
Back home, Yanling's mother had no time to talk about her family affairs. She retreated. When her father was left by her side, Yanling's mother asked, "Did your father think of countermeasures for what was written in her father's letter?"
Wei Yulin frowned and rubbed his hands and sighed, "I didn't expect you to come out of the palace after receiving the letter... Isn't there anything I can do to tell you..."
Yan Ling's mother shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to do this if I don't go to the palace." She told her plan to her father in detail, and then told Wei Yulin, "Father doesn't have to worry about this matter. Now Your Majesty has a lot of favor on me. In time, the power of the harem will definitely fall into my hands. At that time, as long as the world is still the emperor's world, nothing will happen to our Wei family.
This sentence is exactly what Wei Yulin has been worried about. As the Director of Military Affairs, he saw that the power in his hand was taken away by Prime Minister An Longyi day by day, and An Longyi's recent abnormal movements naturally learned about him. After a while, no one can say whether the world will be the emperor's world.
When Yan Ling saw her father sighing, she also frowned and said in a low voice, "Father, my daughter came out of the palace this time to tell you that her daughter's status in the harem is becoming more and more stable, and our Wei family is now not what it used to be. In the past, the Wei family was supported by their father, but now they still have daughters. Father, if you make any more decisions, it's time to reconsider.
As soon as Wei Yulin heard her say this, she looked up at her in horror and said in a low voice, "Why did the Empress say this? Could it be...the emperor's side..."
Yan Ling's mother sighed with a bitter face, "How can a daughter not know her father? Your daughter knows more or less about what you have done before. Now, although His Majesty is weak, King Xiaohan is fully supported. Although King Xiaohan is young, he is a person who can achieve great things. The two brothers have been able to deal with each other for so many years, can't their father see the clues? Your Majesty has this love for his daughter because he trusts his father. The father should think twice in the future.
Yan Ling's words made Wei Yulin sigh with emotion. First, she sighed that her daughter had grown up, and second, she sighed that she had never seen through the simple truth she said.
The father and daughter talked for a long time, and suddenly a subordinate came to report that they had come to the Prime Minister's mansion to invite Yan Ling.
The Empress Yan Ling arranged this matter before she left the palace, and the Prime Minister's house naturally did not dare to neglect it when she heard the news.
A total of three people were brought in by the servants, two of whom Yan Ling Niangniang knew. The woman with a cold and thin face was the second lady in the Prime Minister's mansion, and the one who had been smiling behind the second lady was An Qiaoqiao, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister An Qiaoqiao. Finally, the one left walked at the end with his head down. There is no need to introduce Yan Ling Niang to know that she must be He Ruiping, the daughter of He Lijing, the governor of Wuming County.
While they were ceremonstrating themselves, Yan Ling looked at the He Ruiping carefully and found that the woman was also beautiful, but her forehead was slightly tall, not Wang Fu. Yanling has also seen the son of An's parents that she is going to marry several times. If An Pingzhi is not a pair of white eyebrows, she is probably a handsome man, but unfortunately he suffers from a strange disease and usually feels a little scary when he sees it. However, even so, there are many eunuchs who want to marry An Pingzhi, including many beautiful women. I don't know if An Pingzhi was dissatisfied with He Ruiping's appearance and agreed to the marriage after two years.
"There's no need to be polite. Get up." Mrs. Yanling gave the three people a seat, and then said to the second lady with a smile, "Looking that the second lady looks much better than before, is there a new recipe?"
The second lady shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I don't need the previous recipe. I'm old and don't want those anymore. I just wait for the ghost to think of me, so I'll follow."
This second lady has never been able to give birth to a son and a daughter for An Longyi, and her affairs often become a conversation between husbands.
Yan Ling Niang smiled, turned her head to look at An Qiaoqiao and said, "I didn't expect Qiaoqiao to come today."
An Qiaoqiao smiled like a flower and said, "My mother is not feeling well, so she asked me to say peace on her behalf like Yan Ling's mother. My mother said that Yan Ling's mother likes Qiaoqiao, and when she comes, she can also tell her some fun things that are not available in the palace."
"Isn't it? Mrs. Ann is too thoughtful." Yan Ling's mother waved to An Qiaoqiao and let her sit next to her.
This child is a ghost and elf, which makes people feel a little cautious. In fact, Yanling has never liked her, but she has never seen it.
"The clever joy will have to be talked about later. Do you still remember the cherry palace that Mrs. An sent to me yesterday?" Yan Lingniang looked at He Ruiping, who had been bowing her head, and asked, "Are you He Ruiping, the daughter of Lord He, the governor of Wuming County?"
When He Ruiping heard the words, she hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute to Yan Ling's wife and replied, "Exactly."
Yan Ling smiled and waved her hand, "Miss Ruiping, sit down quickly. This is not a harem. Let's chat at our mother's house. Don't be polite."
He Ruiping sat down obediently, and her heart was still up and down. This morning, someone suddenly went to tell her to dress up carefully, and then with the second lady to meet the most favored lady in the harem today, He Ruiping really didn't know how to be nervous.
Since entering the imperial city, He Ruiping suddenly found that she was really a frog in the well. When she was in Wuming County, she thought she was already beautiful, but even if she had only met a few ladies in Anfu, the original pride no longer existed. Compared with those women, she can only be regarded as ordinary. Now that she saw this Yan Ling, He Ruiping recalled her high spirit and felt ashamed. Whether it's her appearance and figure, or her talkative temperament, He Ruiping feels that she is far away from this Yan Ling's mother.
With a little loss, He Ruiping was still a little unwilling and a little angry. But in front of these people, He Ruiping knew that she must not say half a wrong sentence.
At this time, I only heard Yan Ling's mother ask, "Miss Ruiping, if you have come from afar, why don't you tell me about your hometown?" Presumably, Wuming County has other attractions besides delicious cherries, right?
On the way here, He Ruiping had already guessed that Yan Ling's mother would have this question, so she told the words she had thought of in advance. Naturally, she could say as good as she could for her father's rule in Wuming County, especially the scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment there. He Ruiping spent enough effort. I have said it in detail.
After listening to He Ruiping's words, Yan Ling said, "It must be a beautiful scenery under your rule. Yesterday, Mrs. An sent the cherries to the palace, and I also invited my majesty to taste them. Your majesty has said several delicious dishes and said that such delicious food lives up to Wu Ming's reputation.
He Ruiping's eyes widened in surprise, and the emperor actually praised it. If her father knew about this, wouldn't she have been happy for three days and nights?
Thinking of this, He Ruiping hurriedly got up and knelt down to the ground and said loudly, "Thank you, your Majesty! Thank you!"
Yanling narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at He Ruiping, who was kneeling on the ground. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked the maid beside her to take what she brought out of the palace.
The maid of honor walked to He Ruiping with a small wooden box and gently opened the wooden box. He Ruiping looked into the wooden box and saw a bag of golden jade in the wooden box.
"I heard that you and An's son are going to have a good relationship, so I'm going to give you a happy marriage first." After saying that, the Empress Yan Ling waved her hand and asked the maid to hand over Bao Jinyu Ruyi and the small wooden box to He Ruiping.
He Ruiping kowtowed and thanked in fear, and then returned to her seat with the wooden box in her arms.
So far, He Ruiping thought she had nothing to do, but she didn't expect that as soon as she sat down, she heard Yan Ling's wife asking, "Miss Ruiping, I want to ask you about someone. I don't know if you know."
He Ruiping was stunned when she heard the words and thought, "Why did this lady ask herself about people?" I don't know who the mother wants to ask?
"A girl named Leng Xuanrong."
