poor family young gentleman

Ci'an Palace is the palace of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has been widowed for many years, and she has long since stopped asking about the affairs of the harem. Even the concubines in the harem are exempted from the daily morning and evening appointments. Except for the Empress Dowager, almost no one dares to go to Ci'an Palace every day. Today The crown prince canonization ceremony was officially held, and all the concubines headed by the future king came, in addition to the two princesses from the queen king.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Empress Grandson are here!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's loud singing, the bustle in the hall disappeared in an instant, and everyone turned their heads to look outside the hall at the same time. Yin Huanyang's family of three came hand in hand. The little bun in the stroller had a pacifier in his mouth, round and round. The big eyes rolled around, and when he saw the empress dowager and empress on the main seat, he seemed to remember them. He spit out the pacifier and grinned out a few small white front teeth, which made both the empress dowager and the empress startled, showing love at the same time. Doting smile.

"Huanyang met the emperor's grandmother, father's queen, and father's monarch!"

Stopping at the front of the main hall, Yin Huanyang clasped his fists to salute the Empress Dowager and the Dejun sitting next to the Xianjun, Feng Jiye also bowed slightly with a decent smile: "I have seen the emperor's grandmother, the empress, and the father. "

"Why are my family being so polite? Hurry up and bring up the little great-grandson of the Ai family. I haven't seen him for a long time. The Ai family must be thinking about it."

The queen mother swept away the sternness in the imperial study that day, just like an old lady in an ordinary family, always looking at her little great-grandson with a pair of eyes with a smile, this is her first little great-grandson, she is cute and good-natured, she is It hurts to like him.

"Yes."

Feng Jiye made a gesture to go around to the front of the stroller to pick up the little bun, but Yin Huanyang was a step ahead of him, picking up the little bun first, and the queen sitting next to the queen mother smiled in a timely manner: "Look, mother, Huanyang It hurts."

They all knew that Feng Jiye was pregnant with another child, and Yin Huanyang's actions were very considerate to any woman or Kun.

"Well, Huanyang is a good one."

The queen mother smiled and nodded, knowing that it is a good thing to love others, but when she glanced at Feng Jiye with smiling eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. As far as the royal family is concerned, it is not a good thing for the emperor to love others too much. For example, he That son, blindly caring for Xianjun, caused complaints from the court and the harem. He only hoped that Huanyang would not make the same mistakes as his father.

"Little Baozi, this is the great-grandmother, you saw her once, remember?"

Standing in front of the queen mother holding the little bun, Yin Huanyang lowered his eyes and looked at his son, the little bun tilted his head to look at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand to the queen mother: "Hug...hug..."

"Haha... This is really a baby, good, good, Ai Jia hugs my little great-grandson."

This amused the Empress Dowager, she stretched out her hand to hug him on the spot, and Mother Jiang approached and jokingly said, "The Emperor Grandson still remembers you, Madam."

"No, the grandson of the emperor is a smart child at first glance, and the concubine also likes it."

Hou Jun followed suit, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere. Anyone with a little conscience could not dislike the little bun.

"Well, grandson is smart and cute. When he grows up, he will definitely be as outstanding as his father and king. He will be a good emperor of my Mingxia Kingdom."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of many people present changed. The empress dowager's meaning couldn't be more obvious. She was telling everyone that she supported Yin Huanyang by praising the grandson of the emperor.

The emperor's emperor and his concubines were sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall. The palace servants brought chairs for Yin Huanyang and his wife alone. Yin Huanyang, who had already retreated, helped Feng Jiye go over and sit down. The emperor and concubines stood up to salute them at the same time.

"The concubine sees the prince, the prince!"

Although they are the emperor's concubines, Yin Huanyang is the crown prince, the future emperor, and in terms of status, he is much more noble than them.

"No need to be polite!"

Nodding lightly, Yin Huanyang's face was as calm as ever, and the concubines sat down one after another after thanking him for their gratitude, followed by two young girls who had been standing beside the queen came to them and bowed their knees: "Min Xian (Min Hui) ) I have met the prince and brother, the prince!"

They are the two princesses born out of the Queen, the eldest princess Yin Minxian, and the second princess Yin Minhui, twins, now sixteen, past the age of engagement, but they have not been engaged so far.

The laws of the Ming Xia Kingdom expressly stipulate that people can get married when they are fourteen. In some places, there are marriages between the twelve and the third. However, unless there are special circumstances, the offspring of a big family usually get married on the left and right. The royal family is a little earlier, and they are often engaged at birth. When they were adults, they were ready for a wedding, and they got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but the queen had already suffered enough from not being favored by her husband, so she was unwilling to make a marriage contract for her daughter early on. Originally, they had to discuss marriage when they were adults. When Yin Huanyang disappeared, the emperor was afraid that the rumors would be leaked and the barbarians would attack him, so he forcibly kept the two princesses for marriage when needed, so their marriage has been delayed until now and has not been decided yet, no matter how anxious the queen is, it is useless , this is why he bet everything on Yin Huanyang. Firstly, as the crown prince, he has the right to decide the marriage of his brothers and sisters. Secondly, they are outside the palace. After investigation, the Empress Dowager doesn't fight for anything now, he only hopes to protect his two daughters and his natal family.

"You two sisters don't need to be too polite."

Compared with the indifference of the concubines, Yin Huanyang raised the corners of his lips slightly. Since he accepted the olive branch from the Empress, as long as the Empress did not do anything unnecessary, he would naturally give corresponding rewards.

"Thank you, Brother Prince."

The two princesses thanked each other, and Feng Jiye took out two identical pear-blossom wooden boxes from under Baozi's stroller and handed them to them: "Although it's not the first time I've met the two princesses, I still prepared a small box for the two princesses. A gift, I hope the princesses will like it."

Inside the wooden box are two sets of jewelry, which are definitely worthy of their identities, and this is also his kindness to the queen.

"Thank you, Prince."

The two princesses did not refuse, and after thanking them, they unanimously took over the wooden box.

"It is said that Prince Edward's Mingye department store only sells high-quality goods, and the wives and ladies from all families are rushing to grab them. Look at the wooden box you gave to the princesses. It should be jewelry, right? I wonder if I can open my eyes?"

This matter should have ended here, but Xianjun's voice suddenly sounded, and many concubines looked over. They were also very curious about the jewelry in Mingye Department Store. These young and beautiful concubines still want to show off.

However, the request to look at other people's gifts in public is a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it. The Empress Dowager, who was sitting in the main seat and teasing the little bun with the Queen Mother, looked at them, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, before he was about to say something. At some point, the queen mother pulled his sleeves calmly, and the queen turned her head to meet her eyes, and her heart was shocked. She wanted to test the crown prince's ability, or she wanted to borrow from the virtuous king. Hit the prince with your hand?If it’s the former, it’s okay to say that if the prince wants to gain a foothold in the palace, he will have to get used to this kind of situation sooner or later. If it’s the latter... Could it be that the queen mother is not satisfied with the prince at all?

"That's not good?"

Dejun also heard that Xianjun wanted Feng Jiye to make a fool of himself, even though he was very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, he subconsciously spoke out, but unfortunately, his momentum was not enough, and his voice was too low, there was no one in the whole hall talk to him.

"It's okay, princesses, just open it and have a look. If you don't like it, I will change it for you. Mingye Department Store is different from other jewelry stores. We have countless types of jewelry, and there is always one that the princesses will like. .”

From the beginning to the end, the expression on Feng Jiye's face did not change at all, except when he mentioned other jewelry shops, he seemed to glance at Xian Jun meaningfully, who is not a human being present?Almost immediately thought of something, but Xianjun still held it, his demeanor was still as calm as a mountain, and he was a bit fiercer than Houjun.

The two princesses who were suddenly regarded as gunmen by Xianjun also remained calm, and after getting Feng Jiye's consent, they opened the wooden box generously. When they saw the jewelry lying quietly inside, the two of them showed surprise at the same time. The color is so gorgeous and so beautiful!

Feng Jiye got up and picked up the platinum base from the eldest princess's box, inlaid with diamonds, made a radiant braid and inserted it into her bun, then picked up the same style of necklace and earrings for her to wear, and finally the hollowed out wide brim , the same bracelet inlaid with small diamonds, the jewelry style of the second princess is also the same, the difference is that her jewelry is inlaid with pink diamonds, the two princesses wearing a full set of diamond jewelry are obviously more youthful and gorgeous, the sparkle of the diamonds Liang almost didn't dazzle the eyes of everyone present, and many concubines showed coveting eyes.

"The shape of this jewelry is strange. What is the gemstone inlaid on it? Why has Aijia never seen it before? Min Xian Min Hui, come up and let Aijia see clearly."

Facts have proved that no matter how old a woman is, she loves beauty. The queen mother handed the little bun to the queen mother and waved at the two princesses.

"Yes."

Although they haven't looked in the mirror yet, but from the astonishment on everyone's faces, it can be seen that the gift from the prince is very suitable for them. The two princesses are in a good mood, and they have a higher opinion of Feng Jiye.

"Grandmother, I bought these two sets from overseas businessmen specially. They are inlaid with diamonds. It is said that they are the most shining and hard things in the world, symbolizing eternity. Ji Ye thought it would be enough to match the two princesses."

Feng Jiye stood up and bowed to her before speaking slowly.

"Well, it's really good, what do you think, Empress?"

After carefully looking at the jewelry worn by the two princesses, the queen mother nodded in satisfaction.

"The things the prince gave are naturally good, Min Xian Min Hui, you should get closer to the prince more in the future, maybe when the prince is happy, you will not have to worry about beautiful and rare jewelry in the future."

Temporarily put aside those messy guesses in his heart, Houjun said half jokingly and half seriously while holding the little bun.

"Auntie... pretty... pretty..."

The little Baozi who had been doing his best suddenly pointed at the two princesses and yelled loudly. Everyone couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then the Queen Mother laughed even more heartily: "Oh, the little great-grandson of Ai's family also knows that the two aunts are beautiful, okay, okay, Jiang Mommy, show it to the prince."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Mother Jiang smiled and agreed, and Feng Jiye also thanked him. Originally, he wanted to use an excuse to embarrass him, and take advantage of the opportunity to suppress Mingye Department Store. The things they sent out were so amazing that even the Queen Mother was full of praise. If this got out, Mingye Department Store would become even more popular, and their Tianxin Building could only wait to close. You know, that is their most important thing. One of the sources of income.

However, did they think they would win?How naive!

Xianjun's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips curled unconsciously. In a month at most, he will return to the throne of the emperor. The emperor will still love him as before, so what if he is crowned prince?As long as the emperor's heart is still with their father and son, Yin Huanyang's position in the East Palace will never be secure.

Ok?

Seeing his fleeting smile, Yin Huanyang and his wife froze at the same time, how could he still smile?Did they overlook something?Where did his confidence and confidence come from?
