Chapter 143 Choosing the Inner Court
As soon as Yuexiang saw Yi Yun, she just felt a little better and became sad again. "Mr. Yi, I heard from Mrs. Yi that you went to Jiufen Mountain, so... have you seen the bones of the young lady?"
"Yes, we are planning to go to Jiufen Mountain to worship Miss." Mei Xinger took over the words and said.
Yi Yun didn't say anything, went to the table, picked up the card they offered, took a look, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it to pieces.
Yuexiang and Mei Xinger were shocked, "Eunzi Yi, what are you doing? Why did you step on the lady's card? Do you know that if a person dies without incense, it is not easy to be reincarnated into a good family..."
Yi Yun looked at them and said, "She's not dead. She's alive and doesn't need this thing!"
"What...what did you say?" The two girls became more and more surprised, and their four eyes widened, "Miss is not dead, is it true... really? Wasn't she burned to death by the escort officers and soldiers?
"She managed to escape and saved a lot of people. I have been looking for her for more than half a year and found her in Huaisang, and we are married!"
"So... So the young lady is really still alive?" Yuexiang and Mei Xinger saw that Yi Yun said seriously and finally made sure that they had heard it wrong. The surprise was beyond words. They hugged each other and cried and laughed. It took a long time to remember and asked, "What about Mr. Yi is back, what about the young lady? Where is she? Did you come back with you? Still in Huaisang..."
Yi Yun looked at them with a heavy expression, "She is not in Huaisang, just in Qingshan City..."
Where is it? Where is it? Is it in Yifu? We will see her immediately..."
"In the palace!"
"Ah?" Yuexiang and Mei Xinger didn't react for a moment, "Eunzi, what do you mean that Miss is in the palace?"
Yi Yun told them what had happened, and the two of them were shocked, "How could such a thing happen? Could it be Mr. Yi who made a mistake? Or the young lady didn't enter the palace at all, but somewhere else..."
"My mother went to the palace to visit the empress dowager and saw the portrait of the show girl sent by the king of Huaiyue with her own eyes, and her portrait of Man'er was among them." Yi Yun also hoped to make a mistake, or the people of Huaiyue Palace were cheating on him, and Haiman was sent to the palace at all, but the fantasy is ultimately a fantasy, and the truth is also the truth after all.
Yuexiang saw that Yi Yun looked haggard and couldn't help but feel sad, "Sir Yi, you must be sad that Miss was sent to the palace, right? Don't think too much. In fact, as long as the young lady is still alive, you...you will have a chance to reunite!"
"Yes, the most important thing is that people are alive." Mei Xinger also wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to persuade him. After thinking for a long time, she came up with a sentence, "You and Miss are both good people, and good people will always be rewarded!"
Yi Yun nodded and squeezed out a smile at them, "You are right. The most important thing is that people are alive. Don't worry about me. I'll figure it out. I believe Man'er is also trying to figure it out.
"Yes, it's great that Miss is still alive!" The two girl put down their worries and regained their joy. "Mei Xinger, we won't go to work today. Let's buy some delicious food and celebrate."
"Well, anyway, we don't have to save money to go to Jiufen Mountain to worship, let alone buy a good coffin for the lady. We don't have to work so hard to make money. I have wanted to rest for a long time!" Mei Xinger immediately raised her hands and agreed.
Yuexiang glanced at Yi Yun and said, "Son Yi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we stay and have a meal together!"
"Let's go home another day, or my parents will be worried. Man'er has always been worried about you and is afraid of implicated you, so she has never dared to contact you. Now that it's like this, I want to tell you that it's okay, so that you don't care about her.
"Miss is really. Now that she has changed her name and surname, what are you afraid of? It made us cry for nothing, and burned incense for her for half a year in vain. Mei Xinger now remembered to complain, "When I see her, I will definitely..."
Yuexiang pulled her and motioned her not to say more, so as not to make Yi Yun sad.
"I'll go first!" Yi Yun got up and told them, "As long as you two know about this matter, and others don't talk about it. In case the people in the court know Man'er's true identity, she will still be in danger.
"We know, Mr. Yi, don't worry!" Yuexiang and Mei Xinger nodded together and agreed.
Mrs. Yi prepared breakfast to call Yi Yun. She found that he had not been in the room for a long time. She asked people and said that he had gone out early in the morning and couldn't help worrying. This child won't do stupid things, will he?
While walking around the room, Yi Yun had come back and hurriedly greeted him, "Yun'er, where did you go early in the morning? Didn't the doctor say that you are still weak and need to have a good rest?
"I went to visit Yuexiang and Mei Xing'er. I should let them know that Man'er is still alive, so as not to be sad in vain." Yi Yun smiled and put his arm around Mrs. Yi's shoulder, "I'm hungry. Let's go to dinner!"
Mrs. Yi knew that his forced smile did not want her to worry, so she couldn't help sighing, "You don't have to worry too much. I inquired about it in the palace, and now the sea girls and their girls are all in the hotel. After all the vassal kings arrive in the capital, the queen will personally select them, and only those who are selected will be eligible to face the saint. I will go to the palace again, and maybe I can figure it out on the empress!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Yi Yun hugged her gratefully.
Mrs. Yi sighed secretly, and she just comforted him. Let the queen choose first, but it's just a situation, and there are almost no people who can lose the election. The emperor expects the vassal kings to guard the border, how can he favor the enemy in such a matter? At worst, each of them will be sealed as a servant, lady. Anyway, there can be countless candidates below the concubine.
"Miss Xia, are you painting?" Huang Yuejiao came over, picked up the picture drawn by Haiman and looked at it again and again, "But why doesn't the person you draw have eyebrows?"
Hyman smiled and said, "I'm not drawing, this is the pattern."
"Picture? What's the pattern?" Huang Yuejiao can't see the reputation even if she looks at it horizontally.
"It's the pattern of clothes!"
Huang Yuejiao suddenly realized, looked carefully, and couldn't help sighing, "Well, this dress is really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful dress. If only I could wear it on me!"
Hyman smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? If I have a chance, I'll make it for you. It must be more beautiful than this!"
"Really? That's great. You must remember it. Don't go back on it. Huang Yuejiao picked up other patterns and looked at them again. The more she looked at them, the more she admired Haiman. "Miss Xia, you are really awesome. The clothes you draw are the same as living. They must look better when you make them."
Haiman smiled and remembered that she seemed to have something to say just now, "Is there something wrong with you coming to me?"
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to look at your pattern!" Huang Yuejiao clapped her hands and hugged her arm with a smile, "Miss Xia, they have gone out to play. Let's go for a walk. I've been here for two days, and I haven't seen what the palace looks like! Anyway, our etiquette training is over today, and Qu Mengpo won't talk about us.
Hyman didn't want to go out and couldn't bear to disappoint her interest, so he put down the pen, put away the patterns, and went out with her. You can see the girls hanging out in twos and threes everywhere.
These girls are mostly 16 or 17-year-old girls, who are full of fantasy and have great expectations and expectations for the palace. After only two days, I couldn't resist my curiosity and went out of the door one after another and walked around.
It is said that they will visit the palace. In fact, these girls can only walk within the scope of the inner courtyard of the hotel. They can't even go to the front yard of the hotel, let alone the hotel. What they can see is just the tip of the iceberg of the palace, but it is enough for them to be excited. They can't stop talking and laughing.
Hyman is not interested in the palace, and he has seen a lot of this kind of scenery, let alone be as excited as they are, silently accompanying Huang Yuejiao, thinking about his own thoughts.
"Miss Xia, look, those girls seem to be brought by King Guangli!" Huang Yuejiao pulled Haiman and pointed to the lotus pond and said to Haiman.
Hyman looked up and saw several young girls in the corridor by the lotus pond, all dressed brightly and very eye-catching. When she came, she heard that the girl brought by another vassal king also lived in the Xiuyuan for the time being, but she did not live in the same yard and did not take photos.
"I heard that King Guangli is the richest among the vassal kings. It seems to be true. Just look at the dress of those beautiful girls. It's much better than ours!" Huang Yue's delicate words are envious.
"Hmm, shallow!" There was a sneer behind him.
Haiman turned around and saw Bian Yuzhen standing there with contemptuous face.
"Who do you think is shallow?" Because of Haiman, Huang Yuejiao was really disgusted with Bian Yuzhen. Hearing her scolding herself, she immediately stared at her eyes.
Bian Yuzhen glanced at her, "Who else is there besides you? What's the use of dressing well? Dressing well does not mean that you are beautiful, let alone that you can be looked up to by the emperor. At that time, it is not certain who will lose and who will win!"
"You mean you must be looked up by the emperor?" Huang Yuejiao smiled disapprovingly, "I don't know where you got your self-confidence!"
Bian Yu really raised her chin proudly, "Of course I'm confident. In terms of appearance and talent and connotation, I don't know how many times better than you. Your face is yellow and dry, and you can tell at a glance that it is poor..."
"Ha, yes, my face is yellow and dry, which is better than your face, big and round, as if it were full of air. I know that you are born with a full moon face, and I don't know who I thought I was beaten!" Huang Yuejiao was unwilling to show weakness and ridiculed each other.
"You yellow-faced woman!"
"You swollen-faced woman!"
Hyman saw that the two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and more loudly, which attracted people nearby to watch frequently and hurriedly grabbed Huang Yuejiao, "Yuejiao, let's go. The quarrel here will only make others see jokes!"
"Yes, let's go and stick together with a broom star. I wish you all the mold and won't get the emperor's favor for the rest of your life!"
Haiman heard that Bian Yuzhen's words became more and more vicious, and he couldn't help sneering and said, "I'm afraid someone can't even wait to die in the deep palace!"
"What do you mean by that?" Bian Yuzhen's eyebrows stood up.
"I will experience it slowly!" Hyman threw down a sentence, pulled Huang Yuejiao and turned around and left. She didn't want to have a grudge against Bian Yuzhen, but this woman's mouth is so bad that she will suffer from that mouth sooner or later.
Out of the distance, Huang Yuejiao exclaimed angrily, "That damn swollen-faced woman always finds fault for no reason."
"Forget it, just don't have the same experience with her. Seeing that kind of person will only lower your identity!" Hyman smiled and persuaded her.
Huang Yuejiao held Haiman's arm tightly and smiled, "Yes, anyway, I have Miss Xia as a good friend, and I ignore her."
The two walked to the Xiuyuan with a smile. Passing by the door of the courtyard where the actress lived, they saw a woman stepping out of it.
Haiman felt that the woman's figure was a little familiar. He looked up and looked at it. It happened that the woman also looked at it. The two of them looked surprised and exclaimed together:
"Second sister-in-law?!"
"Ziqin?!"
