Mountain God's Wife

"Your Highness... Do you want this servant to send a message to Shopkeeper Tan and Miss Ruan?"

The eldest princess's maid followed the eldest princess and listened to the emperor's whole process. After she came out, she saw that her highness's pace was obviously faster, and asked.

"No, let me think of a way to deal with it first, and now I've told them that it's just to make them anxious. There's still time... What is the emperor thinking?"

There are eyes and ears everywhere in the palace, and the eldest princess didn't even dare to speak out blatantly, so she could only grit her teeth and speak bitterly at a volume that only she and the maids around her could hear.

She borrowed the name that Ruan Yan was from a rural family and came to the palace because she didn't know the rules and was afraid of offending the nobles, which prevented the emperor from wanting to let Yan Yan enter the palace immediately.

But it can only be a temporary solution. If you can't know the emperor's purpose and solve the problem fundamentally, I'm afraid this will always be a hidden danger!

At this moment, suddenly a reckless little eunuch rushed out with his head down, and accidentally bumped into the eldest princess' maid.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! This servant didn't do it on purpose, and I won't dare again!" Seeing that he had bumped into the eldest princess, the little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Forget it, get up, walk carefully in the palace, if you are someone else, they won't let you off so easily."

The little eunuch looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the eldest princess was always generous, let alone punishing a child who committed an unintentional mistake.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" The little eunuch kowtowed several more times, then got up and ran away.

"Your Highness..." The maid who was bumped walked beside the eldest princess with a serious face, and secretly stuffed a ball of paper into the eldest princess's hand from an angle that no one else could see.

The eldest princess put the note away calmly, and led the people back to her palace. When she was a child, she lived in a remote place closest to the cold palace. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, because she was the emperor's only sister, Changed to live in the rather luxurious Yanyi Palace.

Back in her bedroom, the eldest princess carefully opened the ball of paper in her hand and wrote a few lines on it. After reading it, the eldest princess held the paper with a livid face.

"The little eunuch gave you this piece of paper?" the eldest princess asked her eldest maid.

"Return to Your Highness, yes, but what happened?" the eldest maid asked worriedly.

"It's true that something happened. Do you still remember King Wu Huan?"

"My servant remembers that King Wu Huan, who was still the prince, proposed marriage to you at the time, but you were already married at that time. Could it be that King Wu Huan did something?"

Wu Huan, a fierce tribe in the north of Chen State, caused headaches for the successive monarchs of Chen State. After this generation of Chen State emperors succeeded to the throne, Wu Huan had civil strife. The prince came to borrow troops and signed a series of contracts. On the way, he saw the eldest princess and fell in love with her at first sight.

It's a pity that the eldest princess was already married at that time, even if the prince was unwilling, but thinking of the turmoil in his own country, he could only give up.

"Since the original crown prince succeeded to the throne, he has been grateful for Chen Guo's help, and has not disturbed our country's borders for a long time, but...

This time, he made a request for a marriage alliance, asking for his prince to marry my daughter! "

The eldest princess had a headache, she couldn't figure out what King Wu Huan meant, because she couldn't marry herself, so she wanted her son to marry her daughter?

The eldest maid was also a little shocked after hearing this, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Perhaps the emperor didn't want Wei'er to marry him that much. He has always looked down on Wu Huan, and he would feel that he would degrade his status if he was married by royal blood.

So it's not surprising that he would think of Yan Yan, after all, the adoptive daughter is also a daughter, and when the time comes, she will be given a noble title and status..." The eldest princess asked the eldest maid to dispose of the paper ball in her hand.

Originally, she wanted to protect the child's identity, but she didn't expect it to be used by the emperor. Her good brother's control over the capital is even more terrifying than she imagined. She was clearly only writing to the old prince about this matter. mentioned in.

"I will discuss it with Ah Hui first, just now she mentioned something to me...

I also don't know who the person who sent the news to Ben Gong is. After knowing this, Ben Gong must repay him well. "

The eldest princess took a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to her first maid after packing it.

"Be careful to spread the word, the emperor's eyes and ears are all over the capital, so you must not startle the snake."

After Tan Hui read the letter once, her eyes were filled with melancholy, and she immediately asked someone to call her daughter, who had almost forgotten to come back, back to the eldest princess's mansion.

After Ruan Yan came back, she saw her mother looking at her with a serious face she had never seen before. She was so frightened that she immediately reflected on whether she had done something wrong for her mother to find out. Think carefully...

The most outrageous thing she has done in her life is only He Zixi... Could it be that her mother knew about it?Impossible, impossible, she hid it well, mother couldn't possibly know!

"Mother, hastily called my daughter back, what's the matter?" Ruan Yan asked cautiously.

"It's true, Yan Yan, His Royal Highness the Princess has arranged a marriage for you." Tan Hui said straight to the point.

Ruan Yan froze for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong, "Mother, are you joking?"

"I'm not joking, Yanyan, this matter..."

"I don't want to!" Ruan Yan's voice was slightly flustered.

The daughter's reaction was bigger than I imagined. Apart from worrying about the emperor, Tan Hui also took time to think about her daughter's unusual behavior during this period, and she became more convinced of her doubts about her daughter and Miss Zixi. thought.

"Yan Yan, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess chose a very good family for you. Mother knows about it, so I won't wrong you."

"But...Mother, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't arrange a marriage for me so early? Why did you suddenly..." Ruan Yan asked tremblingly, clutching the hem of her clothes.

"The mother also asked you why you don't want to marry?"

"I..." Under her mother's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate her heart, Ruan Yan slightly turned her eyes away and said, "I don't want to marry someone I don't know or love."

"However, Yan Yan, I'm afraid Mother can't let you continue to be self-willed this time, so take a look at this." Tan Hui handed the letter from the eldest princess to her daughter.

Ruan Yan read the content at a glance, and she never thought that it was because of this kind of thing, "Mother, I can become a monk, and I don't need to be married."

"Become a monk?" The daughter was really determined, Tan Hui said: "Your majesty just ran to become a monk after making a decision, do you think your majesty is so easy to fool?

Why don't you take a look at that family with your mother, maybe you will think that he is worth entrusting for a lifetime? "

"No!" Ruan Yan said without thinking.

"Why? Could it be that you already have someone you like?" Tan Hui stared closely at her daughter's expression, and as expected, she saw a shy look in her daughter's eyes.

"No, no..."

"Is it Miss Zixi?"

"Ah!!" Ruan Yan turned pale with shock, Tan Hui caught her off guard, and before she had time to react, she had already sold her flaws to her mother. Such an expression already explained everything.

"So it's true?" Tan Hui didn't know how to describe her current mood. Back then, this matter fell on the Eldest Princess and the Princess, and she was able to explain it to the Eldest Princess for the two children.

But when this matter fell on me, I didn't say I opposed it, but... I felt a little complicated.

"Putong..." Ruan Yan knelt down, and now she has long forgotten that her mother's attitude towards this matter is extraordinarily tolerant. Back then, without her own mother, the affairs of the princess and the general would have twists and turns, "I'm sorry mother Dear, I really like Zixi, please help me."

"What does that girl Zixi think?" Tan Hui couldn't help but sigh now, her daughter had assumed such an infatuated attitude, what else could she do?

"She shares my heart." Ruan Yan said firmly, looking at her mother.

The two children have been together long before they knew me.

No wonder Miss Zixi ran to her house so diligently. Tan Hui somewhat understood the feeling of suffocation in her heart when the eldest princess caught her two children in love. She was clearly under her nose, but she couldn't see anything.

"But Yan Yan, now is not the time, even if Mother does not object, but now His Majesty wants you to marry Wu Huan.

If you can't get enough reasons for His Majesty to give up before the decree is made, then if you refuse, it is disrespectful to the decree. "

Compared with this, the matter of her daughter falling in love with another girl is a trivial matter.

"Mother, don't you object to the matter between me and Zixi?" Ruan Yan didn't care about anything else, the person she loved was a god, how could the mortal emperor control her?

She only needs to hear that her mother does not object to the matter between herself and Zixi.

"As long as you can handle this matter well, your mother will recognize you no matter what." Tan Hui said angrily.

"Thank you, mother!" Ruan Yan threw herself into Tan Hui's arms, extremely happy. For so long, the heavy stones she had piled up in her heart could finally be put down.

"Don't be so happy so early, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?" Tan Hui fished out her daughter, who was so happy that she could not find Bei, from her arms, and asked seriously.

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter is already married, the emperor can't let her marry someone else." Ruan Yan said with a grin.

"Already married?!" This, this, Tan Hui almost slapped her daughter on the head, is her daughter trying to turn the world upside down?

She actually secretly married someone behind her back!Isn't this bolder than the Princess and General Bai? "You mean to marry Miss Zixi? Do you think His Majesty will recognize her?"

"It's not marrying Zixi... Oh, no, it's not even marrying her. In fact, what the daughter means is..."

"She married Linshan Mountain God." Qingqing said in a cold and somewhat helpless voice, speaking for Ruan Yan what the other party couldn't explain clearly because she was too excited.
