103. Chapter 103
Something happened in the palace, and the outsider Xie Lanyin was first sent out of the palace by Queen Chen in a tactful manner.
The carriage was stable, and Xie Lanyin leaned on the soft pillow, and was still thinking about what happened in the palace today.
The prince wants to marry his younger brother’s sweetheart!
If he didn't know, today's events should be purely a coincidence, if he knew...
If it were her, even if she didn't recognize Xu Yunrou when she jumped into the water and swam in front of her, she would pay attention to avoid suspicion. She would never have any trouble making Xu Yunrou dress up, and would not have ended up marrying him. Otherwise, she would continue to marry King Heng. Even if King Heng didn't care, she would be watched by the prince. When the matter spread, the elder brother had touched his younger brother and sister, which was a scandal for the prince and brothers.
Does the prince know?
When she got off the carriage, Xie Lanyin was still thinking about this.
The carriage was parked directly in the inner courtyard. When Xiao Yuan knew that she had returned, he came over to pick her up early. Seeing her distracted look, he skillfully held her hand, "What are you thinking?" He didn't even see it.
"Why are you here?" Xie Lanyin asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuan replied to her knowingly asked.
He also came out to pick up such a little road. Xie Lanyin felt sweet as honey. He looked at the coachman who had not yet stepped down and didn't say anything yet. He walked hand in hand with him to the backyard.
After entering the inner room, the yellow oriole in the bird cage flapped its wings and screamed twice.
Now Xie Lanyin has become accustomed to the yellow oriole bird. Except for not wanting it to be in the house at night, she likes to tease the bird at other times. After not seeing her for a long time, Xie Lanyin walked to the bird cage and teased her for a while before she walked to the bed and sat down, and said in a low voice to the man who was lazily leaning there: "Guess what happened in the palace?"
There was a little excitement in my eyes.
After all, she had no friendship with Xu Yunrou. Although she felt a little sympathetic to her marriage, Prince Heng and Queen Chen were all Xiao Yuan's opponents. Those people had internal conflicts at home, and Xie Lanyin was in great mood to watch the fun.
Xiao Yuan pulled her right hand and kneaded her, like a wise man who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains but knew the world. "Has the prince hero saved the beauty?"
Xie Lanyin was about to tell him, but when he saw him like this, he was shocked and said, "How did you know?"
Almost after the prince saved the man, she came back. Could it be that someone told Xiao Yuan first?
Xiao Yuan liked to see her like this, and looked at her meaningfully and said, "Lanyin, although I am the King of Xian, I have a few people in my hands. In the past, I installed people in the palace to protect myself, but now, I am to protect you."
Xie Lanyin was shocked by the fact that he was unable to use the big news and immediately turned into joy.
She knew that he was definitely not a cowardly prince who could be slaughtered.
With her husband's ability, Xie Lanyin felt more and more at ease. She took the initiative to lean into his arms and asked him, "Then do you think the prince deliberately robbed King Heng's sweetheart?"
Both of them knew the affair between King Heng and Xu Yunrou.
Xiao Yuan touched her head and smiled mysteriously, "That has nothing to do with us, but there should be a good show next, so Lan Yin doesn't need to be bored."

In the palace.
Queen Chen ordered people to arrange the unconscious Xu Yunrou to the side hall, and first sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and then went to the Xu family to invite Mrs. Xu to the palace, but ordered people to block the news and not let King Heng know.
The second son and Xu Yunrou went privately. If they were not going to have a talent show and the second son came to beg her, she would not know. I believe that Xu Yunrou had also concealed her family, then she would have to find a way to avoid the second son making things worse and it would be difficult to end.
While the imperial physician was taking Xu Yunrou's pulse, Queen Chen called the prince to the study room. After entering the room, she shouted coldly: "I have told you that I would point Taifu Zheng's granddaughter to you. Why do you want to design this? Don't deny it. I'm not so confused that I can't see your trick! You are my son who grew up, and I wouldn't know who you are. If it weren't for intention, even if she drowned, you wouldn't go to save her."
Zheng Taifu is a great scholar of this dynasty, with all the students all over the world. The eldest son successfully married the Zheng family, which was like a tiger with wings. The second son married the girl from the cabinet chief's family at the same time, which was equivalent to attracting more help for his brother. Such a good plan was ruined by the eldest son himself!
The more Queen Chen thought about it, the more angry she became, and she waited coldly for the prince to see what he said.
Since the prince took action, he had thought about how to deal with his mother before and said frankly: "I'm not hiding it from my mother. Before I met Yun Rou, Erchen really wanted to marry a girl from the Zheng family as your arrangement. However, when he went out in February, Erchen met Yun Rou by chance and fell in love with her at first sight, so he couldn't help it. When things got to this point, Erchen married her, it was a foregone conclusion. What did the mother say? Let's wait until she comforted the Xu family."
The mother was interested in the Zheng family and could let her third brother marry the daughter of the Zheng family. As for Xu Yunrou, she was beautiful and worthy of her identity. The prince was bound to win her, let alone the beauty slapped her, and he had to settle the score with her, and was so happy to turn a dignified lady into a gauze tent...
"Do you know that your third brother likes Yun Rou?" The eldest son Yun Danfengqing, and Queen Chen roared in a low voice.
The prince's face changed suddenly.
My third brother actually likes Xu Yunrou? Could it be...
As if guessing what he was thinking, Queen Chen turned around and said, "As soon as Xiu Nu entered the palace, your third brother came to ask me to point Yun Rou to him, and I agreed."
"Why didn't the mother tell me earlier?" The prince also breathed a sigh of relief in his chest. If the mother had said earlier, how could he have made the decision to make Xu Yunrou?
"You usually don't like me asking him about him in front of you, and I have never cared about his marriage. I tell you, who knows if you think I'm nagging again?" The eldest son made a mistake and wanted to lean on her. Queen Chen was really angry, and with a headache and irritable, she sat on the chair and glanced at the hem of her eldest son's clothes with a squinted eyes. "You don't care about him, he doesn't like you, and now you have robbed your lover. What should I do?"
The prince did not speak for a moment.
He really didn't like his third brother. He was the prince. Except for his father and mother, everyone in the palace had to flatter him. Only the third brother. When he was a child, he had to steal any good things. He didn't take it seriously and smiled and advised him to give in to his younger brother. When he grew up, he also wanted to let his third brother get a share of the pie. Although he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, he was often praised by his father for taking advantage of him...
So what if he snatched Xu Yunrou this time?
Besides, he didn't mean it.
Thinking of the previous orders from the Queen Mother, the prince became more and more calm and said in a deep voice: "What happened just now must have been reported to the palace. Yun Rou has no other way but to marry me. I will explain to him my third brother. Before that, I will ask Queen Mother to decide on my marriage with Yun Rou so as not to anger the Xu family."
That's what Queen Chen thought, and asked the eldest son to come over. In addition to scolding him, she would remind him more.
Standing up, Queen Chen walked to the prince and stared at him and said, "This time I can settle the Xu family for you, but you can find a way for your third brother. It is best to apologize to him sincerely. Hengrui, don't think you are the prince and the brother, it doesn't matter if you steal someone. If you make a brother disagree, you are not the only two princes in this capital. Don't just be angry with your younger brother, so that others can benefit."
The prince was shocked and looked at his mother and sincerely admitted his mistake: "It is because his son is reckless and has no consideration. Don't worry, the mother will follow your teachings and will never give others the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Seeing that he really listened, Queen Chen returned to the side hall with a calm face.
Xu Yunrou just woke up and looked at the strange place, still a little confused.
With a look in Queen Chen, the imperial physician and the palace maids and eunuchs retreated.
Xu Yunrou suddenly remembered it, remembering that she was pushed into the water, remembering that the man in the water rudely pulled her clothes off, she struggled, and then she knew nothing.
But Xu Yunrou understood that what happened next would definitely be bad for her.
"Empress..." Xu Yunrou cried and wanted to get out of bed.
"Don't be anxious Yunrou, listen to me first." Empress Chen felt helpless when pressing the little girl who had already said something to her in advance, but she had to be cold and hard for the future of her two sons.
Xu Yunrou looked at her uneasy.
Queen Chen whispered: "You accidentally fell into the water and were rescued by the prince. In the eyes of everyone, now I can only point you to the prince. Yun Rou, don't be anxious. Listen to me, I know you and Yi'er like each other, but now you really cannot. If you don't agree, because your reputation is damaged, the other party is the prince, and Yi'er can't marry you, you can only go home. You have to suffer for the rest of your life and will also implicate your family. Think about it, your father is so spoiling your youngest daughter, and you are wronged, will he be enemies with my two sons? It's not that I'm exaggerating, what men will do, we women in the inner hut can't imagine it at all."
When Xu Yunrou heard that the man who was Qingba was the prince, she felt confused, and she could only follow Queen Chen's thoughts. Thinking of her father who would respond to her requests, Xu Yunrou was suddenly scared. Queen Chen was right, and her father could indeed do that kind of thing, and Queen Chen had guessed that once she refused to marry, Queen Chen would give her father a chance to deal with the prince?
No, she will be the Xu family first, the emperor spoiled her so much...
Seeing the panic in her eyes, Queen Chen said at the right time: "Don't be afraid Yunrou, you are a good girl. You like you so much, do you know? I never want us to get married and become enemies instead. I just hope you take the overall situation into consideration and don't tell your parents about your relationship with Yi'er, and then marry the prince with peace of mind. The prince is kind to you, and he will not let you down. You are still my good daughter-in-law."
"What should I do with Brother Yi?" Xu Yunrou burst into tears. "He will hate me. I clearly promised to marry him..."
"Hate you is better than hating the prince's brother in the end. Do you think so?" Queen Chen gently wiped the girl's tears.
Xu Yunrou looked at her in shock.
Queen Chen nodded, "Once Yi'er knows that the prince deliberately robs you, with his temper, I can't imagine how much the matter will go to. So Yun Rou is my beg you. If Yi'er comes to you, you only say that falling into the water is an accident. You must not tell him the truth, do you know? Although they are brothers, they are the prince and the prince. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Yi'er offended the prince for you, and in the future..."
Speaking of this, I suddenly turned around and covered my mouth.
Xu Yunrou's face was no longer pale.
She understood what Queen Chen meant. Queen Chen was afraid that the prince would attack her younger brother after she ascended the throne.
After thinking it through, Xu Yunrou pounced on the bed and started crying.
When she married the prince, she was sorry for him, but if she didn't marry, she not only harmed her parents but also harmed him.
The little girl cried, and everyone felt sorry for her.
The little palace maid outside suddenly reported that Mrs. Xu had arrived and was waiting outside the hall.
Queen Chen gently wiped away the tears that were not on her face, turned around and patted Xu Yunrou on the shoulder, "Yunrou, you..."
"I'll marry..." Xu Yunrou forced herself to stop her tears, sat up slowly, lowered her eyes and said, "Please rest assured, Yunrou knows what to do."
Queen Chen sighed softly, wiped her tears, and after another reminder, she ordered someone to invite Mrs. Xu in.
Two quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Xu led her daughter out of the palace, and Queen Chen also had the promise that she gave her daughter to the prince.
As soon as they left, Queen Chen went to find Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Xuande was very satisfied with the two daughters-in-laws he had liked by his wife. Now he had to change his marriage because of an unexpected marriage. He didn't know that King Heng and Xu Yunrou had any objection, so he said casually: "Then give the girl from Zheng to Yi'er."
Queen Chen reluctantly smiled and said, "Let's give it to the prince first. There are still a few days left for the talent show. Yi'er's not in a hurry, otherwise, I'll give it to you now, what are those girls left in the palace for? "
Emperor Xuande nodded.
