The day before Wen Ruqin's big wedding, the princess mansion hosted a banquet for relatives and friends.
Ye Ping and Wen Yu greeted the guests outside the door. Both the husband and wife were dressed in the clothes of the king of the county and the clothes of the imperial order. They looked like they matched each other in terms of appearance and temperament.
There are many guests coming to the princess mansion to marry a daughter.
When Ju Fan heard about the characters that appeared in the book, Ye Ping immediately gossiped with the men around her. Wen Yu is tall, and Ye Ping inevitably has to stand on tiptoe when whispering to him. In order to hear what she said clearly, Wen Yu naturally bowed his head and listened carefully. The two of them are very eye-catching, even if they get close, they will attract countless prying eyes, let alone such an intimate move.
After thinking about it, many people felt envy, jealousy, and fear towards Ye Ping.
This princess of the county is indeed a man of means.
The in-laws of the two houses, in addition to Mrs. Wen's natal Wan's family and Mrs. Wen's natal Wang's family, also have the Ye family.
The Wan family and the Wang family obviously looked down on Wen Ruqin, a concubine daughter, but Wen Ruqin married the eldest son of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, so the two families continued to compliment her on the face of it.
It was the first time for the Ye family to come to the princess mansion, so Ye's mother was fine, Ye's was obviously a little cautious. Seeing the eldest daughter arrange the staff calmly, she immediately straightened her back.
Wen Ruqin and Ye Ting were familiar with each other, and they whispered to each other from time to time.
Both the girl from the Wan family and the girl from the Wang family have complicated eyes, secretly looking at Ye Ping from time to time, and looking at Ye Ting with hidden eyes from time to time. Especially the girls of the Wang family, most of them knew the original owner before.
At that time, they had such a sense of superiority. Because of their identities as cousins, few people looked at Uehara's origin.
Who would have imagined how long it took, and the person they looked down upon before became the head of the princess mansion. Look at the demeanor of the dress, the four-tailed steps on the head are radiant, and the imperial order of the cloud and crane pattern is noble and majestic.
Ye Ping did it on purpose, she is just so vulgar.
Originally, she and Wen Yu could just dress decently today, but she insisted on wearing imperial clothes. She was wearing the official uniform, and Wen Yu could only wear the county king's uniform to match her. In the eyes of outsiders, it was the importance that the couple attached to Wen Ruqin, and when it was spread to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Madam Shen was naturally satisfied.
Her outfit showed her identity. Even the most senior Dafang old lady in the Wang family, that is, Mrs. Wen's mother, is only on the same level as her in terms of rank. She just wanted to let these people know that she is not someone their Wang family dares to plot and offend.
The more complicated the Wang family's eyes were, the more they had to smile and greet her, and the more she put on airs, showing the villain's desperation to the fullest.
Hmph, the villain is successful, how can he be worthy of himself if he doesn't show off.
The Wang family came from the second and second families of the big family, and the third family did not attend. Hearing that the third house was separated, that Wang Qiye cheered up unexpectedly. Some people guessed that it was because Mrs. Wang San suppressed the concubine too much before, and Wang Qiye used to hide his clumsiness.
Ye Pingxin said this, that Wang Qiye is indeed a wonderful person.
Among the girls, Ye Ping also saw Liu Jingya. Liu Jingya was no different from before, if it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people and Ye Ping was too busy, she would definitely have to talk for a long time.
Seeing that she was as cheerful and generous as before, Ye Ping was quite relieved.
In this life, Liu Jingya should be fine.
During the meal, Ye Ping arranged the Ye family and the Chang family to sit together, while the Wang family and the Wan family sat at the same table. As for Concubine Zhang and King Qingyang, they would naturally sit with Mrs. Wen.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke's Mansion is just a guest at the Princess Mansion.
Mrs. Chang praised Ye Ping again and again, from words and deeds to today's banquet, she praised Ye Mu's heart in full bloom, and Ye's cheeks began to burn.
After complimenting Ye Ping, Mrs. Chang praised Ye Ting again.
The appearance of this pair of twin sisters can be described as first-class. The older sister is the princess of the county, and the marriage of the second girl Ye will definitely not be bad in the future. I don't know what the Ye family thought, but they rejected the Song family.
The Song family is also here today. A few tables away, Mrs. Song is sitting with people from Zhen Guogong's mansion. Zhen Guogong's mansion is Mrs. Song's natal family. Although it has been extremely low-key in recent years, because of Queen Gu in the palace, it is difficult for the Gu family to really keep a low profile.
On the day of great joy, no one will touch the bad luck of the Lord's family.
After the banquet was over, the guests left one after another.
Princess Qingyang intended to show her favor to Ye Ping, and came over to have a chat.
"I was shocked when I heard that what happened to the eldest sister of the Wen family. I never thought that a person who seemed to be fine would suddenly become insane."
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, manpower is not enough."
"What the princess said is true. Speaking of it, I should still call you cousin, but I will marry into Wen's family in the future, so I will mess up the elders and young, so I will give up calling you cousin."
Ye Ping smiled, "When I get married and follow my husband, I should take the county king as the most important thing."
The implication is that she listened to Wen Yu.
Both sides are Wen Yu's relationship, whether it's a cousin or a younger brother, she doesn't care at all.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Princess Qingyang. After she entered Beijing, all she heard was how shameless and fierce this Ye family was. She thought it was just a woman from a small family who climbed to the top of the branch by virtue of her beauty. . I didn't expect to see it today, but it was a bit of a surprise. Not to mention that there was nothing wrong with the banquet, even this attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing was surprising.
"The concubine of the county said that we women should be married and obey our husbands."
Ye Ping thought to himself, others can still believe what they said, but this Princess Qingyang...
Princess Qingyang glanced at Wen Ruqin, and said with emotion: "Second Sister Wen is a blessed one, she looks good and has a good temperament, and she got such a good marriage. I met that Shen Shizi once. , worthy of being the first son of Yongchang City, his demeanor is outstanding and unforgettable."
Is this what you're thinking about?
"Shen Shizi's appearance can only be matched by my Xueniang."
Princess Qingyang was quite unhappy upon hearing this. Does this Mrs. Ye really think that a woman with a good-looking face can get everything she wants?
It's really vulgar, but fortunately she took a high look before.
Without status, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can only be reduced to a man's plaything, and vice versa. A person who was born noble like her, how could such a girl from a small family be able to match her shoulders.
The ordinary man couldn't speak, she really didn't need to show affection to such a person.
Before entering Beijing, the father's intention was King Wenjun, who would have thought that His Majesty would actually give them a marriage on the way to Beijing. They had to screen again, and then they settled for the second best and selected the prince of the Duke's Mansion.
Although Wen Shizi is not as famous as Shen Shizi, nor is he as outstanding as Shen Shizi, but he is also a classy handsome man, and she is quite satisfied with this marriage.
It's just that when she thinks that she will become a sister-in-law with the daughter of a seventh-rank official, she feels very uncomfortable. Fortunately, one is the Duke's Mansion, and the other is the Princess Mansion, and the mansion is divided into separate houses. Otherwise, this marriage must be reconsidered.
Ye Ping could feel the subtle change in her attitude.
After all, she is not the same person, so let her go.
At an auspicious time the next day, Wen Ruqin came out.
There was no one to stop the marriage, and Shen Shizi led a group of people to meet the relatives, so it can be said that he drove straight in. Others were not surprised, but it would be scary if Wen Yu really came forward to stop the marriage. Only Ye Ping knew how eager this man was to marry his sister.
From the beginning to the end, Aunt Qing never showed up.
Ye Ping thought, this is really a smart man.
Mrs. Wen was her own grandmother, and Ye Ping borrowed her light to give Wen Ruqin a face. Everyone knew that Wen Ruqin was raised by her grandmother, and it was right that Aunt Qing didn't come out.
Once Aunt Qing showed up, people would look down on Wen Ruqin instead.
The team to meet the bride left, and the sound of gongs and drums gradually faded away. The Wen family saw off the sedan chair. Standing at the front were Consort Wen and Wen Yu, followed by Duke Wen and Wen Ting, followed by Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Wen and Ye Ping.
Even though Wen Ruyu's matter has passed for many days, Mrs. Wen is still unwilling to forgive Mrs. Wen. The two who used to show themselves as mother and daughter, now there is not only a distance between them, but also Ye Ping.
Ye Ping was both happy and sad, happy that the hero and heroine in the book finally had a lover and became a family member, but sad that she would no longer be able to stay with Xueniang every day in the future.
She supported Mrs. Wen, but the old lady didn't look at Mrs. Wen. You can still pretend to be in front of people, but the face of people behind you is already full of dislike. If it weren't for Mrs. Wen's city mansion being deep enough, anyone would be more or less attractive.
"What are you talking about, our grandparents and grandchildren will treat whoever wins, and you also said that you will eat all over Yongchang City, you are used to coaxing me." Mrs. Wen suddenly said. "Xue Niang married to the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid we won't be able to play the leaf card in the future."
Although the voice was low, Ye Ping could hear it clearly, and she couldn't laugh or cry. This old lady is not sad when her granddaughter gets married, but what is sad is that no one will play leaf cards with her in the future.
"Whether you have to win a card to go out to eat, what do you want to eat, grandson-in-law will accompany you to go."
Ye Ping thought to herself that the old lady didn't appreciate it, so she beat her up. She understands the other party's temperament, so naturally she doesn't care about it. What I think in my heart is that even the old lady of the Duke's Mansion cannot live as she pleases.
This world is really not friendly to women.
"Granddaughter-in-law can save it."
"As long as you know."
Ye Ping was afraid that the old lady would continue to do something, so she quickly changed the topic.
"It won't be long before Princess Qingyang is going to marry into our Wen family. The granddaughter-in-law is a little absent-minded recently because of sister Ruyu's affairs, and she doesn't know if she has the energy to manage the marriage. Eldest brother is the eldest grandson of the Wen family. His marriage is related to the decency of the Duke's Mansion, Grandmother, you should pay more attention to it."
"You still need to say."
The eldest grandson's marriage is more important to Mrs. Wen than anyone else. She would be more satisfied if it wasn't for the incident that Princess Qingyang trampled to death the white cat earlier.
At this time, Wen Yu happened to turn his head, and Ye Ping gave him a helpless look.
Old Mrs. Wen was terrified, what was the second grandson doing when he turned around? Those eyes were as deep as a bottomless hole, which startled her a lot.
While feeling palpitations, I suddenly felt some sympathy for the second granddaughter-in-law.
Ye's eyes are not good, and she actually fell in love with such a man with a cold face and a cold heart. Facing it day and night is probably more frightening than facing a **** knife out of its sheath.
It's not easy either.
Ye Ping felt her sympathetic gaze, a little inexplicable.
"Have a baby early." She said this sentence again suddenly.
"..."
Seeing that Ye Ping didn't speak, she frowned.
"Your status is low. I don't know how many people are staring at you. After a woman gets married, apart from her natal family, the most reliable person is not a man, but a son."
Ye Ping was somewhat surprised by the sincerity of these words.
"I knew that my grandmother was a good elder who cared about the younger generation. My granddaughter-in-law was lucky enough to marry into the Wen family. It's just that my grandmother treated her granddaughter-in-law well, and my granddaughter-in-law couldn't be ignorant. The eldest son, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, grandson-in-law thought it was the same lineage. Well, the granddaughter-in-law hopes that Princess Qingyang will give birth to a big fat great-grandson to her grandmother as soon as she comes in."
"You really think so?"
"certainly,"
Ye Ping doesn't want to be forced to give birth, she just wants to let nature take its course.
She doesn't care about the position of the great-eldest grandson of the Wen family, and she doesn't care if she wants to come to Wen Yu.
"If the granddaughter-in-law is really pregnant in front of me, I also hope that my husband will have a daughter. The granddaughter-in-law likes to bloom first and then bear fruit."
Mrs. Wen was obviously moved, and said, "She is sensible."
Ye Ping was shy at the right time, her face blushing.
The grandparents and grandchildren looked so close that it was hard for Mrs. Wen not to see them. Even when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were as close as mother and daughter before, they never had such intimacy.
It's not easy, she missed it.
…
The banquet was over, and the Princess Mansion was quieter than before.
If one looks down from a high place, it is not difficult to find how empty this huge mansion is. The vast expanse of darkness, apart from the popularity of the son-in-law's residence in the west courtyard, is the nameless residence in the east courtyard.
Although Ye Ping doesn't need to work hard, it's not easy these days.
After hanging up the exemption card that day, she found that this trick was quite effective. Tonight, she wanted to have a good sleep, and was about to take out the exemption card, but Wen Yu held her hand down.
"Don't hang up."
Her heart skipped a beat.
No way.
She is exhausted like a dog, and this man still wants to torment her.
Still not human!
"Your Majesty, I'm so tired. Can you let me go tonight?" She was crying softly, every word was like a hook.
Wen Yu's eyes were extremely dark, and he did this trick again.
He suppressed the evil fire and said a good word.
Ye Ping seemed to be pardoned, hugged him and took a bite, saying something like I really like you, I love you to death, and other violent words. Then he took off his shoes and went to bed with joy, and rolled from the bed into the bed, almost cheering.
So happy?
Wen Yu felt displeased, could it be that what this little liar said between the beds is also false? What I like to do my favorite thing with him, what is happy even if it hurts.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and Ye Ping was so frightened that she wrapped herself tightly in a quilt. It's hard for a gentleman to chase after a word, so is the old swan going to go back on his word?
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so a small slit was opened from under the quilt.
Looking at it this way, it's strange.
Wen Yu was actually reading a book.
Reading is good, only Yan Ruyu can be found in books.
Let him go to the book to find the beauties.
Ye Ping was indeed tired, thinking about it in a daze, she fell asleep unknowingly.
Wen Yu flipped through the book in his hand, writing on the paper from time to time.
Gentle?
Will it be too polite?
Wen Rong?
Is it too hard?
A piece of rice paper is filled with writing, but none of them are satisfied.
In the dead of night, the candle wicks grow longer.
He rubbed between his brows and folded the rice paper.
It's just a name, why is it so difficult?
That night, Prince Wen, known as the world's number one criminal officer, encountered his first problem in two lifetimes. He sat for the whole night, piled up books until the sky turned white.
Ye Ping had a good night's dream. After waking up, she saw a magnified handsome face. She was so frightened that she woke up instantly. Or the clothes before going to bed, did this man not sleep all night?
What is going crazy?
"Prince...you, you..."
Before the words came out, he was immediately stuffed with rice paper.
"Let's see, which of these names is suitable?"
