Yuan Ying's appearance inherited the handsomeness of the Yuexi royal family and the calm and generous manner of the Guo family. Although he was born with a royal family, he did not have too much arrogance and had a good temper. He always smiled and was very close to him. But in Li Weiyang's opinion, he was a very interesting person. If she read it correctly, this person's eyebrows and eyes were clearly condensing and domineering, and it was definitely not a thing in the pool. What he said to her that day was actually warning her not to hurt the Guo family no matter what purpose she had. Moreover, such concern was not about worrying that his power would be damaged, he was truly protecting his relatives. In a sense, such a man was obviously more responsible than the ruthless Tuoba Zhen.

If she obeyed the intention of Concubine Guo Hui to marry Yuanying, it would be more kinship for the Guo family, and for her, she would be closer to her enemy. If she had changed from the past, she might have used all means to avenge her, and even used all her own bets. But now, for some reason, she does not have the intention.

Concubine Guo looked at Mrs. Guo and smiled and said, "Originally, these words should not be said in front of the children, but you and I are real people, so I just let go of them. Although Yuanying is my son, you also watched him grow up. None of the bad habits of those noble children have been infected. If he has this fate in the future, if he dares to bully Jiaer, I will deal with him well."

Li Weiyang showed a look of surprise. Concubine Guo Hui said so clearly... But, to deal with Yuanying? She glanced at the smiling tiger opposite and shook her head in her heart.

Mrs. Guo knew what Concubine Hui meant. After all, she was very strict with Yuanying's discipline. Once, Yuanying sneaked out of the palace, but at a young age, he knew that he had to take leave of the Grand Tutor and only kept it from Concubine Guo Hui alone. After Concubine Guo Hui learned about it, she thought he was playful and ordered the guards to capture him back to the palace. The princes in Yuexi were different from Dali. If the princes here made a mistake, even their own mother could not beat and scold him casually. They had special companions to be beaten and beat him for him. However, Yuanying's companions were Guo Dun of the Guo family. Concubine Guo would never be able to touch others without thinking.

He beat Yuanying up. Concubine Guo Hui was different from those delicate concubines. She was from a military general family. Since childhood, Princess Chenliu specially invited the best martial artist to teach her martial arts. Later, when she entered the palace, her martial arts were abandoned, but her foundation was still there, and she was never vague when she beat him. Poor Yuanying was beaten, but she refused to say what she was going out of the palace. Concubine Guo Hui became more and more angry, and even interrupted the bamboo board, and finally even alarmed the emperor. Yuanying lay on the bed for half a month, not even humming, and others went to see him, but still smiled on her face.

It was not until a month later that Guo Huifei's birthday was on her birthday that she saw a white jade Guanyin prepared by Yuanying, and she realized that her son had prepared a birthday gift for her. While regretting, she also sighed at her son's stubbornness. In fact, Yuanying could have said everything, but he prepared the birthday gift to make his mother feel surprised, so he had to stick to his original intention and refused to explain it if he was alive. From this incident, we can see that Yuanying's personality has an extremely strong side.

At this moment, Yuanying heard Guo Huifei's words, and maintained a moderate smile on her face, but she looked thoughtful in her eyes.

Li Weiyang felt so angry when he saw it. She had a premonition that Yuanying would agree to the marriage, even if it was just to marry her home and watch it well. Could it be that she was so unreliable? She had already said repeatedly that no matter what she did in the future, she would try to take care of the Guo family as much as possible. But obviously, the other party was very suspicious and did not trust her.

Mrs. Guo didn't expect that Concubine Guo Hui would say this and sighed in her heart. This sister is good at everything and looks smart in front of outsiders. Why is she completely unprepared when she reaches her family? If she mentioned it to her behind the scenes, wouldn't it be better for the two families to make plans and match up with the two children? Now that she is so rash, I'm afraid Jiaer will be unhappy.

In fact, Mrs. Guo was willing in her heart because she loved Guo Jia too much, for fear that she would suffer a little grievance in the future. However, her daughter would eventually marry, and she would not be able to keep her for the rest of her life. But if she married someone else, wouldn’t she feel sorry for her? Only Yuan Ying was different. First, Concubine Guo was her sister-in-law, and her relationship was very good, and she had a short-term personality. When Jiaer married, she would never be troubled by her mother-in-law. Second, Yuan Ying was the one whom Mrs. Guo had seen since childhood. She had the ability and good personality. She had never seen him lose her temper... No matter how she looked at her husband, she thought it was a good destination.

It’s a pity that Yuanying was born in the royal family. If Mrs. Guo is a little selfish in her heart in the future. She would rather her daughter be safe even if she is not glorious and wealthy. So, she smiled and said, “Look at you, you are so anxious, Jiaer has just come back!”

She neither refused immediately nor tactfully postponed the marriage. Mrs. Guo stopped and spoke very artistically. Concubine Guo was very smart and understood as soon as she heard it. She nodded and said, "Yes, you mother and daughter have just reunited, so she must be reluctant to marry now, so it's okay to talk about it in the future." As she said that, she turned her head and looked at her son and said, "I just want to kiss her, do you understand?"

He spoke with a commanding tone, obviously joking. Yuanying immediately smiled, looked at Li Weiyang, and said, "Son understand."

There was a little smile in his eyes, but Li Weiyang lowered his head and deliberately pretended not to understand.

Concubine Guo Hui looked at the two of them and felt more and more promising, so she said to Mrs. Guo: "I have taken care of you. This time you will stay overnight in the palace."

Li Weiyang was a little surprised when he heard this. There was no room for stays in Dali Palace... Although it was a female family member, it seems that there was no such rule in the palace in Yuexi. Seeing that her face was surprised, Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said, "It is natural that it is not possible if it is an outsider, but you are my closest relatives. I have already explained to Your Majesty that if you want to keep you for a few days, what's wrong with this?"

Li Weiyang just smiled, and Mrs. Guo had already agreed: "Then I will talk to the Empress." Although she said this, she was actually ready to enter the palace for a temporary stay, and she specially put a box on the carriage behind her, but she forgot to explain it to Li Weiyang.

Mrs. Guo thought for a while and asked again: "According to the rules, we should pay tribute to Empress Pei and the other empresses."

When Concubine Guo Hui mentioned Empress Pei, her smile suddenly became cold and said, "Big **, my position is second only to Empress Pei in the palace. You don't have to see other concubines at all. As for Empress Pei, she has already said that whenever the relatives of the concubines enter the palace, they only need to go through procedures and do not have to pay a visit to each one."

This is a polite word, but obviously, Concubine Guo Hui deliberately "according to the execution". Li Weiyang laughed. This aunt's personality is really tough enough.

Concubine Guo Hui left them to have a meal, but the dishes were very ordinary. Seeing that Li Weiyang looked ordinary and did not show any particularly surprised, Guo Hui nodded secretly and was even more satisfied with his future daughter-in-law. He took the initiative to explain: "Jiaer, the dishes in the palace are so tossing and cost-effective. I still like these folk dishes, don't mind."

Li Weiyang just smiled: "What is the Queen Mother saying? I heard my mother often mention it at home that Queen Mother likes to eat the alfalfa stir-fried meatballs at home. Although they are both ordinary dishes, they are the warmest."

The Guo family is very charming and their family life is very pleasant. No wonder Guo Huifei is unwilling to forget her life before she got married. Li Weiyang is very considerate of this.

Seeing that she was speaking so appropriately, Mrs. Guo was relieved. Yuanying, who was separated by a table, looked up at her. Now, he felt that he could not see through this girl. Of course, a prime minister's daughter could cling to the royal family and finally get the title of princess. Not to mention that Dali was the only example, I am afraid that the whole world would not have it. So he always felt that she was very scheming and needed to be careful not to do anything that would be unfavorable to the Guo family in the future. But now she was ordinary and very sincere, not like the one who was scheming and sweet-spoken. Maybe he was too thoughtful...

Yuanying lowered her head and stopped looking at Li Weiyang.

"Yes, the dishes on this table are really what the Empress liked to eat before," said Mrs. Guo.

"Who said no!" Guo Huifei did not say that she was coming because her relatives were coming, so she specially ordered four or five more dishes to be added.

Li Weiyang glanced at the dishes on the table and thought to himself that when he heard that Empress Pei likes extravagance, Concubine Guo Hui was very simple, which was completely different. No wonder he didn't like each other.

After lunch, Yuanying said goodbye. He already had his own errands, and it was rare to stay here for so long. Mrs. Guo watched him go away, and somehow looked back at Li Weiyang, with a little strange expression.

Li Weiyang deliberately pretended that he didn't see her eyes and his face was calm.

At this time, Concubine Guo Hui stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk."

It is normal to need to eat after lunch, but the so-called walk of Concubine Guo Hui was accompanied by Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang, walking from the east end of the yard to the west end, chatting while walking, not like Li Weiyang was in the Dali Palace, who deliberately went to the Imperial Garden for a walk. It can be seen that many rules in the two countries are different. If Mrs. Guo did not take care of her in advance, Li Weiyang might really be unsure of what to do.

The two noble ladies were walking in the yard, but Li Weiyang stood on the steps, looking at the blue and white stone bases on both sides, thinking to himself that Guo Huifei grew up in such a friendly family since she was a child, but she had to devote herself to a hell of eating people and not vomiting bones, and she also had to spend the rest of her life in such a deep palace... I really don't know how she survived it. Li Weiyang had already tasted this kind of taste in her previous life, and she hated this skyless waiting, so she didn't want to taste it again no matter what. Yuanying is indeed a good marriage candidate. Unfortunately, he was born in the royal family and had many troubles in the future, so she was unwilling to take another risk. So she had to treat it as if she had not discovered Mrs. Guo's expectations.

At this time, Concubine Guo Hui looked back at her and suddenly said, "It's so boring to stay with us. Let the opera troupe in the palace come and sing the opera, so let's have a lot of fun."

Concubine Guo Hui was completely kind, and Li Weiyang was not easy to refuse, so the troupe quickly set up in Concubine Guo Hui's yard. They sang some reunion shows, but they were tired of watching the show, but they also paid attention to their mood. Concubine Guo Hui was cheerful and very close to him, so the atmosphere was more harmonious.

At this moment, King Xu Yuanlie had already entered the palace. Of course, he could not blatantly meet Li Weiyang. He came to the palace to play chess with the emperor. The old eunuch Zhang Zhong led the way for him, while secretly looking at the newly appointed Prince Xu. Speaking of which, His Highness Old Xu is indeed loyal to His Majesty and has never offended the holy intention. At least, when His Majesty did not ascend the throne, someone thought about supporting King Xu ascend the throne, but he never had that intention. Instead, he tried his best to assist the current emperor. Compared to General Pei who was arrogant because of his favor, he was very good. Therefore, both in the court and in the harem, he should respect him three points.

However, everyone thought that the hot throne would be inherited by King Xu's eldest son, but suddenly such an illegitimate son appeared. Eunuch Zhang secretly glanced at Yuan Lie and saw the amber pupils, which were very eye-catching.

Yuan Lie glanced at the eyes and saw the dazed look of Eunuch Zhang and asked, "What are Eunuch Zhang looking at?"

Eunuch Zhang spoke carefully: "The prince is extraordinary and has the style of an old prince back then. He is really better than the blue one. When the slave looks at him, he can't help but be happy for him..."

No one believed this kind of thing. Yuan Lie's mouth tilted lightly, and there was a little warm color: "Oh? Is that?"

Eunuch Zhang was confused in his heart. He always felt that Yuan Lie’s appearance was very similar to that of a person. Who was it? A vague shadow flashed through his impression. He suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart, and he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Lie. No, it was impossible!

"Eunuch Zhang is an old man around His Majesty. I heard that he had served Princess Qixia back then." Yuan Lie said casually.

Eunuch Zhang's eyelids twitched, and he looked around and there was no one around. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Prince, I know that you are the celebrity in front of His Majesty, but some people and some things are taboos in this palace." No matter the emperor or the queen, no one is allowed to mention the person he was back then. Unexpectedly, Yuan Lie actually said her title without any scruples.

Princess Qixia... The beautiful but thin shadow flashed across the heart of Eunuch Zhang, and he felt his body stiff. Until now, he could not forget the scene of Princess Qixia's death. At that time, Princess Qixia's mental state was very unstable, so they, the eunuchs and palace maids, took turns to watch over her and kept careful attention. But one day, her mind was inexplicably awake, and she was still very happy. She specially invited His Majesty to speak. Although she had only spoken for a while, His Majesty had already started.

They were so worried that their servants thought the princess' condition had improved, so they felt much more relieved. So that night, no one knew that such a thing would happen. The next day, as soon as His Majesty woke up, he heard someone screaming, "No, someone is here, someone is dead, someone is dead--!" He hurriedly got up, but found that Princess Qixia was missing. When he rushed to the lotus pond with the people, he saw a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes neatly placed beside the lotus pond.

Princess Qixia walked out of the bedroom step by step, walked through the garden, and arrived at the edge of the lotus pond. Everyone could see that the princess was wearing her favorite dress and drowned in the lotus pond full of pink hibiscus flowers. When she was salvaged, she had a smile on her face. I am afraid that people who have seen this scene will never forget it in their lifetime. It is really terrible...

His Majesty watched her die in a bad state, but she looked like a thousand blades cracked heart. With a wow sound, he spewed out a big mouthful of blood...

Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to think about it anymore, but just looked at Yuan Lie and reminded him again: "Prince, stop talking about that name, I'm afraid of hearing it!"

"Is that so? Is there anything to be afraid of?" Yuan Lie smiled thoughtfully.

Eunuch Zhang looked at Yuan Lie's face, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his heart, and his voice suddenly dropped three times: "Prince, I heard from someone that you grew up outside the palace when you were a child, why didn't you come back to look for your relatives before?"

Yuan Lie looked at the very smart eunuch and said calmly: "Yes, I was in poor health, so my father asked me to stay outside to recuperate. You must know the situation in the mansion. If I come back, I am afraid I will not grow up so big."

He said it very clearly, and Eunuch Zhang smiled embarrassedly: Indeed, the old princess Hu is not a good-looking lamp.

"My father-in-law has been here for so many years, and I must know a lot of things." Yuan Lie's tone was very easy-going, as if he was just chatting. But Eunuch Zhang was a little nervous and said, "I'm old and have forgotten a lot of things from the past."

The handsome and beautiful woman of the royal family in Yuexi is not as beautiful as the former Princess Qixia. Eunuch Zhang suddenly thought that Princess Qixia gave birth to a son that year, but died just after birth. If she survived, she would probably be an extraordinary figure as handsome as King Xu in front of her. When she turned her head, Yuan Lie looked at him without a flash. Eunuch Zhang was shocked. Her eyes and expressions looked not only like that person, but also a bit like the emperor today. God! Could it be that the child was still alive back then? How could this be possible! He obviously saw the child die with his own eyes...

Yuan Lie just smiled and knew that this old eunuch would have to be a slick person who could survive until now. He didn't expose it, but just changed the topic easily and said, "His Majesty's headache, have you been better in the past two days?"

Eunuch Zhang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart relaxed a lot and said, "It's better. Since the prince returned to Beijing, His Majesty's headache has been healed day by day."

Princess Qixia's death was a huge blow to the emperor. He began to suspicion, thinking that Princess Qixia was murdered, looking for murderers everywhere, killing many people in the palace, which caused rumors. Even when dealing with court officials, his temperament changed drastically. When he was joking, he was sentenced to death by the Minister of Works. The Censor Zhongcheng advised that Princess Qixia should not be buried with such high-standard etiquette, and the emperor immediately ordered him to be dragged out to the car to split; General Wu Lin, who was talking about Princess Qixia behind his back, was shot by the emperor with an arrow and died... The emperor has always been wise and has never done such a ridiculous and terrible thing. During that time, almost everyone was in danger, and even the queen stayed in the door. The concubines in the palace did not dare to go to bed, for fear of angering the emperor because of one word and ending up with a tragic fate.

The emperor was imprisoned since childhood and was not in good health. In addition, he was sad and angry, and finally fell ill. Of course, this is just a statement from outside. The fact is that Princess Qixia had somehow contracted a fever in the middle of the month. It was extremely contagious and extremely difficult to cure, which made people avoid it. However, the emperor insisted on taking care of her personally. Over time, the princess's illness was cured, but the root of the fever was buried in the emperor's body, which became more and more serious later. Fortunately, the palace was conditioned.

After three years of carefulness, the emperor's spirit was only recovered, but he left a headache. Once he got angry, he would have a splitting headache. He suffered from three days and three nights. Even the imperial physician acupuncture could not relieve the pain. Later, thanks to the queen's family heirloom, the ice and snow cicada, which gave Pei's family heirloom, could barely relieve the pain. Over the years, the emperor's headaches still often occurred, and it was becoming increasingly serious. Sometimes he even fell into a crazy situation and could not handle government affairs at all...

Eunuch Zhang stopped talking and said, "Prince, please leave quickly, Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

Yuan Lie did not answer. Eunuch Zhang secretly raised his eyes and found that His Highness Xu was distracted again, but he looked towards the direction of Changchun Palace. However, the palace gate was closed and nothing could be seen. What was there to see?

The play on the stage was about to be sang, and Li Weiyang seemed to be immersed in the sight. Concubine Guo Hui ordered someone to prepare fresh fruits and bring them to Li Weiyang for eating.

Then Mrs. Guo quietly spoke to Concubine Guo Hui: "How are you doing in the palace?"

Concubine Guo Hui looked at the palace maids beside her, waved her hand to let them stand farther, smiled, and said, "Look, what's wrong with me?"

Mrs. Guo shook her head: "Your elder brother said that you would not be able to stand such a life." After a pause, she muttered again: "According to your temperament, I really couldn't imagine that I could survive in the palace. I thought you would fight Queen Pei to the death." Every time she entered the palace, Concubine Guo Hui seemed to be fine, but she still felt that this life was not something that ordinary people could live. If she changed herself, she would probably go crazy sooner or later.

Guo Huifei said softly: "Yes, my first child died because of her. I hated her to the extreme, but I became more scrupulous and knew that I could no longer live as carefree as the Guo family in the past. Even if I didn't think about myself, I had to think about the Guo family, and my future children who were all concerned about me. For this reason, I had to suppress my hot temperament and patiently think of her as a snake. In the past two years, my son has grown up, and I was even more worried that I would not expect him to compete for the chair, but others may not be willing to let him go..."

Mrs. Guo was silent for a long time before whispering: "I understand that your life is not as glamorous as it looks. I feel wronged for the sake of the Guo family."

Concubine Guo Hui said dissatisfiedly: "You always like to say this, but I am willing to enter the palace." She glanced at Li Weiyang, and the other party was staring at the stage with all concentration, as if she didn't notice them, so she continued, "My father asked me to enter the palace to balance the Pei family. I was willing to do something for the family. Besides, if I marry someone like His Majesty, wouldn't it be pretentious if I say it was wronged?"

Your Majesty is indeed handsome and extremely talented, but over the years, he has been moody and has become unrecognizable to his relatives when he starts to have a headache. He is simply a sober madman. Moreover, he respects Concubine Guo Hui and has no affection. Can he be happy to stay by his side? Mrs. Guo sighed and stopped talking.

"The queen is here!"

The expressions of Concubine Guo Hui and Mrs. Guo changed at the same time. When they looked at each other, their expressions were strange. Concubine Hui and her relatives were reunited to talk about family matters. What did the queen come here for? But then that's the etiquette that should be done cannot be abolished. Everyone stood up and saluted, looking very respectful.

When Li Weiyang heard the queen's arrival, his body trembled involuntarily, but was not afraid, but became vaguely excited in her heart. She had thought that she might have to see this person when she entered the palace, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, and she was about to see Queen Pei without any preparation!

"Get up." The voice is very young and very beautiful.

When everyone heard this, they stood up, but they still looked like they were looking down.

"I heard the sound of cloud boards in the yard from a distance, and my playful addiction came up, so I came over to take a look. What a coincidence, Mrs. Guo was there too," said Empress Pei.

Concubine Guo Hui sneered in her heart, and she had already handed the news to the top. How could you not know that the Guo family is here! But she said without saying a word on her face: "I really don't have the eyesight to see you, why don't you go and set up a seat for the Empress!" The palace maids were busy for a while, and Empress Pei sat down.

Li Weiyang kept lowering his head, as if he was very frightened by Empress Pei's arrival.

"Is this the daughter of the Guo family? I remember you just returned to Dadu, but are you still used to it?"

"Thank you for your concern, I am very used to it." Li Weiyang answered politely and thoughtfully.

"Well..." Queen Pei smiled slightly, "You raise your head and let me see."

Hearing this, Mrs. Guo frowned slightly. Concubine Guo Hui winked at her and signaled her to see what Pei Hou should do first.

Li Weiyang raised his head when he heard this. Empress Pei held a colorful glass cup on her hand. The golden thread on her cuffs was light like the color of teeth. The Zhaiwen shone in the sun, making her hands look white as jade. But all of this was not as beautiful as her stunning appearance. Her facial features were all beautiful and exquisite, as if God had planned every little bit, without any deviation, and was perfect. Compared with Li Changle, the number one beauty in the Dali period, Empress Pei was even more elegant and luxurious.

Empress Pei put down the teacup and stared at Li Weiyang straight, as if she was smiling. However, after careful analysis, the blood in the phoenix eyes settled down, and only the gentle and pleasant expression floating on the surface was left.

This scene made Li Weiyang feel that the blood was trembling all over her body, but she just stood motionless, with a decent smile on her face, allowing Empress Pei to look at it.

In the first judgment, Empress Pei already understood that the girl in front of her was definitely not an ordinary character. She smiled and said, "It turns out that she has a good appearance. No wonder Mrs. Guo is so precious that she won't easily see her!" The eyes without any smile had a deep sarcasm in her eyes, and she glanced at Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo smiled, but said insincerely: "Empress Xie praises." She seemed very kind and could not hear the meaning of the queen's words.

Empress Pei had a deep smile on her face: "You can't hide such a girl. Speaking of which, this child is really similar to the sister Hui Concubine who entered the palace, and they both have a very popular style." Empress Pei's voice seemed meaningful: "Especially, these eyes are so deep, I wonder how many men will fascinate?"
To be continued...
