Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 296

At the end of the banquet, the clapper in Xushi had been knocked for a long time.

On the carriage, Jiang Yuan slowly exerted his strength to rub Ye Lingwu's wound, and said with a smile: "How careless you are, such a big person can still fall."

Ye Lingwu blushed, and replied: "If you want to blame, you can blame the sixth princess. If she didn't come, I wouldn't be so flustered."

"...The Sixth Princess really said that the Queen asked His Majesty to give her a marriage?" Jiang Yuan looked as usual, but there was a little nervousness in his eyes.

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Of course, why should I lie to you?"

Jiang Yuan's lips were straightened, his eyes darkened, and he was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that the empress who is no longer ignorant of the world will have selfish intentions, the things that happened between Shen Meiren and His Majesty back then, no one can swallow that breath , Times have changed, the queen is for the prince and for the Baili family, it is really not easy."

Ye Lingwu said: "The sixth princess wants to marry, but Lord Hou may not be willing to marry. If she marries, there will be many troubles."

Jiang Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Qingqing is right. Young Master Shen didn't even have time to hide back then, so how could he let himself be a bargaining chip in other people's schemes."

The two sat opposite each other in silence, after a long while, Jiang Yuan said: "Master Hou doesn't want to marry a wife, he probably still thinks about the fate with you back then, I dragged you into the deep water of Jiang's house, can you blame me all these years? "

Ye Lingwu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you complain, you have treated me very well in the past three years, and you have given me what I want, and I'm afraid it would be impossible for others to think about it."

Jiang Yuan leaned against the wall of the car relaxedly, and said in a deep voice, "But you have received a lot of criticism in the past three years."

Ye Lingwu jokingly smiled, and said: "I heard this so strange, I think you are not quite right these few days, look at the sentimental, I will make a bowl of brown sugar water for you when I go back?"

Jiang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but remained silent.

Ye Lingwu moved the felt blanket covering her legs to Jiang Yuan's legs, and said: "I saw the third girl at the banquet, I thought that she would have a good life after marrying the person she likes without hesitation. , Who knows that when we meet again, things are different, I still remember when I first arrived in the capital, she was as light and graceful as a white cloud in the sky, but now she feels the same with me."

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "I've heard some things about the Pei family. The head of the Pei family has countless wives and concubines, and the family style is dissolute. I think the life of the third girl in the Pei family is difficult."

Ye Lingwu said: "Third Miss is arrogant, she was wronged and refused to tell the Hou's mansion, but the old lady, Second Aunt and the others are equally stubborn, so the two parties can only be awkward."

Jiang Yuan said softly, "Ask for trouble."

Ye Lingwu frowned, and said displeasedly: "You can see it clearly, why don't you want to let me resign and return to your hometown?"

Jiang Yuan stared at the girl for a long time, and said, "Can it be the same?"

"Why is it different!"

Ye Lingwu gently moved her butt a little bit, and said with a low voice: "The court is like muddy water, you are a girl, you can't just think about Jiang's family, you...you should think about me anyway."

Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "I'm young, how can I resign, even if I want to resign, there should be a valid reason."

Ye Lingwu frowned and did not speak.

Jiang Yuan sighed, and continued: "Since Your Majesty became seriously ill, Zhao Kingdom has been in constant turmoil, especially after General Yang's rebellion was suppressed last year. I am ashamed of Your Majesty's love for me by resigning at this time."

Ye Lingwu raised her eyes slowly, seeing Jiang Yuan's sad expression, and comforted her, "Then you will not resign, but you have to promise me that you will not participate in the battle between His Royal Highness and the princes."

"Don't worry, I don't have that in mind."

"That's good."

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, when the sky was slightly bright, Rongxiu led the servants to decorate the mansion. Red lanterns were hung high on the gate of the mansion, festive couplets were pasted on the vermilion gate, and every house was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Unexpectedly, the palace suddenly issued an order in the afternoon that the emperor was seriously ill and no noise was allowed, so fireworks and firecrackers in the city were not allowed to be set off.

In a blink of an eye, it's the day to go to Ling'an Temple.

Ye Lingwu got up and pushed open the window, the snow in the courtyard had been cleared away, the branches were covered with little red lanterns, and there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms and a hint of snow in the cold wind.

Before Ye Lingwu could sigh in the future, the good mood in the morning was interrupted by the decoction that Yuan Tao brought as usual every day.

She said helplessly, "Drink again?"

Yuan Tao nodded solemnly: "Of course, sister Rongxiu asked for it for the mother herself, so it can't be wasted."

Ye Lingwu frowned, took the bowl slowly and drank it down.

As soon as she put down the bowl, she saw Qingju hurried into the room, "I'm sorry, Mistress, something serious happened in the palace."

Ye Lingwu held the candied fruit in her mouth and said inarticulately, "What happened?"

Qingju looked nervous: "There was news from the palace that His Majesty suddenly fainted in the morning."

Ye Lingwu's almond eyes widened, and she said submissively, "Have you fainted?"

Qingju nodded, and replied: "Yes, mistress, I heard that His Majesty's fainting has frightened the ministers, and I thought... Fortunately, the medical officer rescued him in time."

Ye Lingwu frowned and did not speak.

Yuan Tao said with a sad face: "Mistress, Your Majesty has fallen ill, so shall we go to Jing'an Temple today?"

Ye Lingwu was silent for a long time, reached out and patted the center of her eyebrows, and said: "Of course your majesty is seriously ill, and you have to go to the temple to pray for blessings. You should go and clean up quickly, and don't miss the appointment with sister Guyuan and third aunt."

Yuan Taofu responded and hurried out of the house.

Royal Palace.

The night was dark, and inside and outside the Changhua Palace, there were many medical officers, ministers, beauties, concubines, and princes and princesses, although they had different ideas, they still waited in the side hall in an orderly manner.

Although the emperor saved his life, he was extremely weak, especially when he just woke up and couldn't even utter a word clearly.

The princesses were weeping like pear blossoms and raining, wiping away their tears with handkerchiefs, and the beauties with low status were crying even more sadly.

After all, once the emperor died, these concubines who had just entered the palace would inevitably be buried. Who would die at such a young age? They could only cry and pray silently for the emperor to be safe.

The ministers all lowered their heads and made sad faces.

Not long after, the queen walked out of the inner hall surrounded by the medical officers, and heard the weeping on the table, she said angrily, "Why are you crying, Your Majesty's illness has been brought under control, it's not time for you to cry yet."

Li Shangshu looked solemn, stroked his beard and asked: "Empress, is your majesty alright?"

The queen went straight up, and said after taking her seat, "Your Majesty's illness is just an old ailment left over from the battles in the early years. It will be better if you take care of it. You don't have to worry. Please go out of the palace first so that Your Majesty can take care of it." .”

After hearing what the queen said, everyone hesitated to speak.

The atmosphere in the hall is delicate.

Shen Zhan got up, bowed his hands and said: "Since Your Majesty is fine, I will take my leave first."

Seeing Shen Zhan leaving, everyone at the table looked at each other, and then Jiang Yuan stood up and said, "I don't know medical skills, so staying here is just to disturb you. Since Your Majesty is accompanied by medical officers, I will take my leave first." .”
