There is a dragon

Ye Jingshu refused several times in a row, which made Empress Dowager He furious.She slapped the table violently: "Which one does your Majesty think is worthy of the golden branches and jade leaves of our royal family?"

These nominees are all from aristocratic families, and Ye Jingshu has more or less contact with them, and there are many conflicts.

If you ask Ye Jingshu, neither is good.But if Ye Jingshu really said that, he would be looking for trouble.

None of them are good, the tallest one is the tallest among the dwarves, the important thing is that Princess Dekang can get married smoothly.Ye Jingshu took a step back and drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "I heard people say that marrying a sister is like marrying a daughter. If I have to choose, no one is good. I don't care if it's good or not. It's better for Dekang to say it."

Instead, he asked Princess Dekang: "Which one does the imperial sister like?"

Princess Fukang smiled and answered for her: "The imperial sister has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child, how can she know whether those people are good or bad? Otherwise, the queen mother wouldn't bother so much."

Well, around and around, and around again.

Ye Jingshu was speechless, he could only pick up the tea bowl and pour water one mouthful at a time.

Qin Di's marriage has always been independent, so Ye Jingshu really felt sorry for Princess Dekang for such a blind marriage.

In his opinion, Dekang's age is still a bit young, and with the addition of filial piety, there is no need to pick people so eagerly, which seems a bit cheap, but he can't say much about it, after all, it is not They would grow up together since they were young. If he, a later emperor brother, wants to procrastinate like this, he will have to tell people that even the marriage of a girl who has nothing to do with interests will be delayed.

Princess Fukang has never even met someone in person, so she can boast of a flower, which is no one's ability.

He glanced at Princess Fukang. It is said that this sister was a little jumpy before he entered Beijing, but after he entered Beijing, he was as quiet as a chicken. Except for entering the palace when necessary, he resolutely refused to participate in other times.

——Should be a sensible person.

Leaving aside the personalities of those family members, Ye Jingshu didn't want Princess Dekang to marry into the family either.

There are only two princesses in total, both married into aristocratic families, so what is the significance of him vigorously using the poor family in the court?In many cases, the princess's marriage represents the attitude of the emperor.

Ye Jingshu glanced at Dekang, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, seemingly shy and embarrassed, but her facial expression never changed.His heart sank, the few of them have been discussing here for so long, Princess Dekang has been silent all the time, without any girlish feelings, as if she is not the one who is going to marry.

No matter how many conflicts of interest there are behind this marriage, he still hopes that Princess Dekang can marry well and live well.

"If Dekang's marriage comes to fruition, it will be the first happy event since His Majesty's ascension to the throne." Empress Dowager He stroked her loose forehead hair with elegance, "Dekang has always been a well-behaved child, if it weren't for the couple from the He family This child is out of control, Aijia really doesn't want to take advantage of others."

Shuli Ye Jing ignored her and drank tea by himself, he could tell that he was called here today to stamp the imperial decree of marriage.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager He and Princess Fukang sang and answered.

Ye Jingshu didn't say a word, and Princess Fukang also spoke in a quieter voice.

Empress Dowager He also realized that they had decided on a candidate, and if Ye Jingshu did not agree, the order to grant the marriage would have to come from her—this was contrary to her purpose of calling Ye Jingshu over.

Marriage bestowed by the emperor's decree and the marriage bestowed by the empress dowager are still different.

Empress Dowager He was also reluctant to continue.

The atmosphere slowly froze, and the hall soon lost its voice and fell into silence.

"How about Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Industry?" Dekang asked suddenly.

Not only did Chen Shilang come from a poor family, he was also a stutterer, so he didn't meet the selection criteria for a son-in-law.

Just as Ye Jingshu was about to say something, she was intercepted by Princess Fukang: "Chen Shilang already has a marriage contract, and the place in the Ministry of Industry is the most tiring, so the imperial sister should say goodbye."

Princess Dekang lowered her head, pursed her lips, and returned to her wooden appearance.

Ye Jingshu sighed softly in his heart, and decided to help his younger sister: "Where did Chen Shilang get the engagement? I remember that he has always been a loner, which girl is willing to live with him?"

A formal marriage contract is registered by the government. If Chen Yiyi has a marriage contract, he is now second only to Lou Xinming in the Ministry of Industry, and he can be regarded as a mess. Why would he not marry another girl?

"It was written when I registered," Princess Fukang flipped through the records, "it was made ten years ago, Shen Xinrou, the third lady of the Shen family."

Ye Jingshu's eyelids twitched: "Shen Xinrou? Where is she from? Why doesn't Chen Yiyi marry her?"

There are not many families with the surname Shen in Beijing, and the largest family, the Shen family, is long gone.

Princess Fukang: "Being engaged at this age, I think it's a childhood sweetheart. My father died only a year ago. I think it was that time to discuss marriage. It just happened to happen, so it was delayed..."

"That's true." Ye Jingshu was a little unnatural, he was nervous when he encountered the word "Shen".

Lou Xinming had intercepted a wooden bird before, compared to Lou Xinming's one that would explode at any moment, this intercepted wooden bird is obviously the complete version.

——This is recorded in the Shen family album.

Since he was not the final recipient, Lou Xinming didn't dare to open it hastily, so he had to stay and study it slowly.But what is certain is that Chen Yiyi's wooden bird is someone he must contact, and the other party knows Shen's wooden bird very well.

Ye Jingshu secretly wiped off his cold sweat. If Chen Yiyi was from the Shen family, wouldn't it be incest to be married to someone surnamed Shen?

"Shen's surname is not good, and bad things happened before. The marriage contract can be concluded, and naturally it can be dissolved." Empress Dowager He frowned, "What is the background of this Chen Shilang?"

Ye Jingshu: "I'm just an ordinary person, because I have a little bit of ability, I slowly rose up."

Empress Dowager He said "Oh": "Why did Dekang think of this, the place in the Ministry of Industry..." She glanced at Ye Jingshu, without making any comments, and said instead, "Being a servant at a young age is also young and promising. It’s just a poor family, and the background of this family is not good enough after all, no way.”

"I... I met him before..." Princess Dekang blushed, "He's fine..."

"Dekang!" Princess Fukang screamed, "Why did you do such absurd things!"

The front court and the harem have always had a clear boundary, even the Empress Dowager He dare not cross it at will - she only forced Ye Jingshu once because of Ye Xizhou, and since then she has stayed in the harem tightly and dared not comment on the affairs of the former court.

"Okay." Empress Dowager He raised her brows upside down, "You are a princess, what kind of words do you have to meet with former officials in private! No wonder Aijia and Fukang said so much and you didn't say a word!"

Dekang shrank his neck and looked at Ye Jingshu. Seeing that he had been silent, he said in a crying voice, "But Chen Shilang...he can break off the engagement with that girl from the Shen family, and it's not difficult for that girl to remarry..."

"Is it not difficult to remarry?" A flash of lightning suddenly flashed, illuminating Ye Jingshu's eyes.

Thunder roared, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is that why you want to marry him?"

"I... the engagement can be dissolved, why didn't the emperor check..." Dekang spoke intermittently, but without any ambiguity.

Princess Fukang yelled: "Dekang, shut up!"

Ye Jingshu squinted his eyes and looked at Dekang in front of him. He seemed to be ignoring this younger sister.

According to Ye Ruiwen, the Shen family was the most prestigious family in Beijing 16 years ago. At that time, all materials entering Beijing had to go through their hands.

The best materials, the most intelligent clansmen, the most advanced workshops... The machinery of the Shen family is the best, and they are also the first family to bring the ice soul of the Qin land into the capital, and make the entire upper class of the nobles of the Wei Dynasty start Use ice cap.

After Bing Po was accepted by most of the aristocratic families, the Shen family began to step up research on Bing Po and put it into various aspects.Every day, the Shen family has new developments, new inventions appear, and the Shen family is thriving day by day.

Until that fire.

That night was so sudden, a fire fell from the sky, none of the Shen family escaped, and everyone was silently reduced to ashes and then buried by a heavy snow.

If the Shen family had escaped back then and knew who the real culprit was, they had been waiting for an opportunity...

If the marriage contract is just a blindfold, what if Chen Yiyi is not called Chen Yiyi?

Incognito, isn't it obvious what he wants to do?Ye Jingshu lowered his eyelids, staring at the ups and downs of the tea in the teacup. His mother couldn't rub the sand in her eyes. For her to make such a decisive and helpless choice, does it mean that the Shen family can't get away from the late emperor? Relationship?

"Crack-"

When the tea cover was buckled, Ye Jingshu stood up abruptly. The geology of Pingshan is complicated, and tunneling is not easy.He picked Ye Xizhou because he was serious and responsible, and Ye Xizhou would not treat such a big project as a joke.Transferring him away can also meet the wish of Empress Dowager He that her son can do something.

But the leader of the mapping and surveying of the Ministry of Industry is Chen Yiyi!

Lou Xinming, damn you!

Before he had time to think about it, Ye Jingshu stood up and bid farewell to Queen Mother He.

As long as Chen Yiyi has the heart, it is easy to make some "accidents".And Ye Jingshu, who named Ye Xizhou, would not have any good fruit.

——The family and Empress Dowager He will not let him go.

"Your Majesty is leaving now?" Princess Dekang was too stubborn, and Empress Dowager He almost turned over, "We have selected several good men here, how about your Majesty leave after seeing it?"

"Queen Dowager." Ye Jingshu interrupted her, "I think it's better for her to decide on Dekang's marriage. After all, she is the one who is going to marry. The Queen Mother can just prepare the dowry, and there is no need to worry about it."

Seeing that she didn't think he was just dismissing her, he nodded slightly and strode out the door.

"Hurry up and send someone to call the King of Chu back, hurry up." Ye Jingshu took a few steps and looked up at the sky. The clouds had already been soaked and smeared with thick ink, and they were covered with dust.

—A heavy rain is coming.
