Chapter 473: A Different Way to Celebrate a Birthday

ation for the people within the city, from morning till night. 。Ye Wen quickly heard people on the street discussing: "This is all the fault of Sixth Highness. Since he didn't want to marry a daughter...It's not surprising that Ye Xing had this kind of thought, because he felt that the Princess gave Ye Wenyan a post entirely to humiliate him. One couldn't tell what tricks she might have up her sleeve to embarrass Ye Wenyan at the banquet!And he happened to have a grudge against Ye Wenyan as well. He didn't expect Ye Wushuang to do anything, just that she show no signs of being on the same side as Ye Wenyan. That alone would certainly win over the Princess' favor. 。After all, the elder princess harbors a deep hatred for the Night family's main branch. She favors anyone who has a grudge against them. 。This just proves the saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," so Ye Wushuang should be the princess's friend. 。At the hour of Hai, when the night was cool, Ye Wen prepared for bed. 。Jì Róng finished the bowl of warm soup and went into the house, saying to her: "My mother said that when I was a child, I had a cold constitution, and it was this soup that cured me." 。These days, following my master, I increasingly feel that my master's constitution is truly extremely cold. So I tried to simmer a bowl for him. Master, please try it. If it works, from now on, your subordinate will simmer one for you every day. 。"

Ye Wenyan took a sip and tasted it, not bad>>> 。But her body was neither warm nor cold, it wasn't something that could be solved by a bowl of soup. 。"But I can't explain that to Jierong, and I don't want to disappoint her kindness, so she nodded. 'Then I'll keep brewing it every night! This soup is pretty good.'" 。“Miss Ji is very pleased, "As long as Master likes to drink it, the subordinate will brew it for Master every night." 。"By the way, Master, my brother just came by. He said he's been watching over Grandmother and the second house recently. Everything seems to be the same as before, no major changes or progress." 。Even in private, the Second House would never speak plainly about certain things. 。Including Xi Chun's side, now it is also tight-lipped, not talking nonsense even in dreams. 。Brother then asked, "Is there any need to continue watching" Ye Wenyan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need to watch anymore, let's withdraw! I've basically figured out everything. Now I'm just considering how to make these things public, or whether to handle them privately..." 。"

Ji Rong whispered to her, "Mistress, is what Xi Chun did with the Second Master and Second Madam related to the Old General and Young General If Miss hasn't figured out how to deal with the Second Master, it would be better to get rid of Xi Chun first, quickly and decisively>>> 。As for the matter of Old Madam Ye's family and the second room killing her husband-in-law Shi, Ye Wen had never explicitly told his subordinates about it, but he had also never deliberately concealed it. 。...several times the old lady was troubled, it was all done together with everyone else... 。So even though she didn't say anything, the girls under her weren't stupid. By now they had all more or less guessed what had happened. At the very least, they knew that the old general had been killed by the old lady, and that the second young master's family had done something to the young general. 。Everyone was waiting to see how Ye Wenyan would avenge this, Ye Wenyan herself kept thinking over and over, how to take revenge, and at the same time protect the reputation of the Ye family, so that Ye Laojiang wouldn't have his years of anger ruined by her in one fell swoop. 。"Just wait a little longer!" she said, "I'm sure there are better ways to go about this. I also need to know what Xiao Shubi told my mother before my father died." 。She's now at her wit's end, I don't think she can hold on much longer. 。"The reinforcements have returned. The dark guards that we had borrowed from the Duke of Ren's mansion have also been returned. " 。Ye Wenyan no longer needed to monitor the second house, as she had said, they already knew what they needed to know, and even if they were monitored, it wouldn't help them know what they shouldn't. 。Now she had to consider how to get rid of this whole family, make the original owner feel deeply pained, and do it without sullying the Ye family's reputation. 。After all, General Ye had endured for so many years. Whether it was out of respect for the past kindness of the Chiang family or because he felt that the Ye family couldn't afford to lose face, he had borne it all. 。Even the real person has endured it, how can she tear off this last shred of dignity 。The next day, Princess Chang's 33rd birthday banquet was held. 。Quan Qian Luo was the princess of Heqin. She was married to a man from Qiuhu, but Qiuhu was overthrown by Beqi. Her husband died under the sword of Ye Ji Gui, the general of Beqi, and she lost her children as well. This led to her harboring deep hatred for Beqi and Ye Ji Gui. 。The late emperor always felt that he owed his daughter the most in his life, so he tried his best to compensate her. 。He not only chose a husband for her, but also turned a blind eye to her endless hatred for the Ye family. 。As a result, the chosen husband also died unexpectedly. The former emperor felt even more guilty towards his daughter. 。He didn't know how to make amends for his shortcomings, so he had the Princess Mansion built to the utmost extravagance. Every festival, he would hold feasts for Qian Luo, making her happy and content. He invited all the imperial relatives and nobles in Lin'an City to the Princess Mansion to fawn over her, praise her, say what she liked to hear, and give her gifts she favored. 。Every year on Qian Luo's birthday, the banquet was even more lavish. And with Princess Mansion being big enough, Princess Chang’s birthday feast was almost as grand as a court banquet. 。In short, such a banquet was the biggest event in Lin'an City. Everyone would feel proud to receive an invitation from the Princess, and they would also prepare valuable gifts for her. 。Because they knew that although the previous emperor was gone, the new emperor would still listen to his elder sister out of the royal family's debt to the princess. 。So, as long as you can befriend the Princess Consort, it's like having a life-saving charm. 。Of course, besides that, there's another advantage: the participants are more numerous than at a palace banquet, and the invitations are extended to a wider range of people. 。 。This made those officials' families ranked below the third rank very excited. Such a great opportunity to network, not only could they chat with the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials, but there was even a possibility of finding a good match for their own children. 。Therefore, the long princess's birthday banquet was also, in another sense, a disguised matchmaking event. 。Of course, not all invitations for this birthday banquet were delivered above ground. Those families that the princess particularly disliked, such as the Ye family, would certainly not be invited. 。But this year is an exception. Many people have already heard that Ye Wenyan will be attending the banquet, and some even say that the invitation was personally delivered by a close servant of the Empress Dowager, specifically for Miss Ye Si. 。Some people analyze and say: “The Ye family nowadays is different from before. The general who was most hated by the princess has died, and the rest of his family are no longer capable of leading troops to battle…” 。"Besides, Miss Ye Si is a divine doctor. Not only did she cure the emperor's voice, but she also made significant contributions during the time when Earth Dragon turned over. The Princess must want to use this opportunity to ease the relationship with the Ye family!"

Someone disagreed: "Can it be eased The relationship between the Princess Mansion and the General's Mansion has deteriorated so badly. Every year at the Princess's birthday banquet, she would reminisce about the past and scold General Ye..."

Even one year, they held a ceremony where they wished for the General of the Night to die on the battlefield. A few people danced a ritual dance to heaven, saying that once the dance was finished, the General would have no way out. 。"Those are useless! That was many years ago. General Ye Da lived well afterward, he didn't die on the battlefield, but died of illness at home." 。Everyone in the family knew that what she was doing for the celestial offering was no different from playing around, so no one bothered to argue with her. 。But the relationship between the two companies is really bad, and I don't think it can be improved. 。"It's impossible to ease the situation. With the Princess's temperament, how could she possibly let the Ye family go just because someone died" 。If that were true, she wouldn't have fired off cannons for three straight days at the front gate of her mansion when the general passed away. 。The news that Ye Wenyan was going to the banquet had been discussed all day long, until noontime, when Ye Wenyan also put on her finery and prepared to go to the banquet. Ji Du rushed in and said to her, "My lady, the Chang princess's mansion has caused trouble again this year." 。"

Ye Wen was taken aback, "What's going on Are you talking about my father"

Ji Du took a deep breath and said to Ye Wen, "It's more than just talking about the General. The Empress Dowager even had someone make a straw man, put armor on it, write the General's name on it, and have it kneel at the entrance of the mansion to greet guests" 。“What” Before Ye Wen could react, Zhuai's eyes widened in alarm, "That Princess is sick, isn't she! The General is a national hero, how can she trample on him like this Isn't anyone going to stop this" Ji Du shook his head, “No one’s stopping it for now. Who knows what the Emperor will do after he hears about it.” 。"If he doesn't care, I'll just kill him! With this little awareness, he still calls himself an emperor!" Zhuier got angry and scolded whoever she saw. Originally, Quan Qingcheng hadn't received much imperial treatment in front of her, but now he was even put among the Long Princess's group 。"How can all the members of the Quan family be like this! Don't they have any sense at all Yes, that's it. I remember during the Lunar New Year banquet, the eldest princess seemed to be very protective of Quan Qingcheng, both in what she said and what she didn't say. They must definitely be in cahoots!" 。The little girl grew increasingly angry as she spoke, “Miss Li truly treated him too well!” Ye Wenyan didn't comment on this. She simply asked Ji Duo, “Does my mother know about this” Ji Duo shook her head, “I didn’t report it to Madam.” 。"Don't tell her for now, and warn the people in the manor to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to reveal this to my mother will have their tongue cut out, no matter who they are!" "Master, rest assured, I will personally oversee this." 。"Ji Dedu took his life, turned and left the house." 。

The little one was still angry and kept scolding Quan Qingcheng a white-eyed wolf.

Ji Rong advised her: "My brother already said that the news hasn't reached the palace yet, and the Emperor still doesn't know. Zhuai'er, you scolded too early." 。Moreover, even if we did know, what could we do about it Back when the previous emperor was alive, he let that Empress Dowager have her way with everything. A few years ago, at her birthday banquet, she performed a ritual curse in front of everyone, wishing for the General's death in battle. Didn't the previous emperor say anything then either! The previous emperor is the previous emperor, and Quan Qingsheng is Quan Qingsheng. 。"I don't care about the late emperor, but if Quan Qingcheng indulges that Princess like his father, I won't hesitate to turn against him!" Ji Rong wanted to say that he was the emperor, so would he even care if you, a little maidservant, turned against him Unable to bear to crush Zhuier's spirit, she turned to Ye Wenyan and said, "Master, perhaps we shouldn't go She has done such a thing, why should we still go to celebrate her birthday" 。" Night Wen shook his head, "We have to go, but we should celebrate this birthday in a different way!" > the night view belongs to the master. Over these years, the manor has naturally invested more in various courtyards on the east side.On the contrary, the several courtyards where the old master and h...
