Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 116 The General's Mansion 1
"Volume Two: Miss Ye Jiasan"

In a luxurious carriage, Ye Qiqi was sitting, beside Tang Miaomiao who was hugging a little white cat, and opposite was a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman's name is Mother Gui, who was sent by the General's Mansion to the Liuwang Mansion to pick up Ye Qiqi.This Gui mother is not tall, very thin, her face is a little pale, and there are small wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, but her facial features are still very beautiful.After getting into the carriage, her gaze fell on Ye Qiqi's face, and she couldn't take it away for a long time.

She murmured:
"It's so similar, it's so similar! It's so similar!"

Ye Qiqi looked at her, for some reason, he only felt that she was very kind.As Mother Gui spoke, the circles of her eyes suddenly turned red.Quickly wiped away tears, said with a smile:
"The old slave watched Miss San be born. At that time, Miss San was very young... Time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, Miss San has grown up, and she looks so beautiful...Three Miss's eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of Third Aunt back then. In a daze, this old servant thought he had returned to many years ago..."

Ye Qiqi blinked and looked at her:

"You know my mother?"

Mother Gui nodded and wiped away her tears again.With red eyes, he said:
"Third aunt was in the General's Mansion back then, and an old slave served her. Third aunt, she...she is a good person and has always been very kind to this old slave. After San aunt left, the Luomei courtyard where she used to live has been vacant. The master didn’t let me move the things, and kept them as they were when the third aunt was there. The master asked me to take care of them and cleaned them every day. The master said that the third aunt would come back one day. I didn’t expect that the third aunt...now, it’s the third aunt. Miss is back."

The current Ye Qiqi is the third lady of the General's Mansion.

There are four sons and five young ladies in the General's Mansion.

The eldest son and the second son were born to his wife, and both of them are in office.The eldest son Ye Ziying, General Ren Zhenguo, has not yet married, and has been stationed in Bingzhou all the year round; the second son Ye Zixiong, General Ren Fuguo, is married, and has been stationed in Yizhou all year round with his wife.

The third son, Ye Zihao, was born to the second aunt, unfortunately, he fell ill and died shortly after he was born.

The fourth son, Ye Zijie, was born to the fifth aunt.

The eldest lady, Ye Kefan, was born to the second aunt.

Three years ago, Jin Nanguo proposed marriage to Nanyue Kingdom, wanting to marry a consort princess.

　Marriage—a kind of marriage concluded between the ruler of the Central Plains dynasty and the surrounding ethnic minorities, or the leaders of the surrounding ethnic regimes, in order to balance their political relations.Relying on women's pretty faces and plump arms, try to win over and develop friendly relations with each other is also a political means.

　Marriages are generally reluctant to use real princesses.

　If the country of the marriage is weak, it will generally choose a maid from a humble background to be the princess to deal with it.If the country of marriage is strong and prosperous, it will choose a minister's daughter of noble birth.

　Jinmao Kingdom is located in the southwest of Nanyue Kingdom, originally composed of many clans and tribes.

　More than 30 years ago, a clan and tribe with the surname Duan unified the Jinmao Kingdom by force and established a new political power. In just a few decades, the power has become stronger and stronger, dominating one side.

　The Nanyue Kingdom did not dare to underestimate the Jinmao Kingdom, and chose a marriage partner from among the ministers.

　Unfortunately, Ye Kefan, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, was chosen.The emperor issued an imperial decree, and Ye Kefan couldn't allow Ye Kefan to say "no".As a result of resisting the decree, not only his own head fell to the ground, but he was also punished by the nine clans, and those who were related to him, men and women, old and young, had to accompany him to be punished.
