Chapter 31 Yan Ruyu

Xuanping Palace.

"Yunzhi, you mean this Miss Yan in Mrs. Yan's house once admired the prince?" Qingshuang said in surprise:

"Don't be joking. Ms. Yan is a lady from everyone, and she is also a young lady who has not left the cabinet. How can you gossip so casually? Stop talking, or I will teach you a lesson."

The little girl Yunzhi who spoke immediately panicked.

As soon as her complexion changed, she immediately knelt down with a puff, and hurriedly said: "Sister Qingshuang, forgive me, I, I didn't deliberately arrange Miss Yan, I was just talking quickly... And I didn't lie, in fact, this matter, almost Everyone in the capital knows about it, so I..."

Yunzhi lowered her head and said in a low voice: "So I can't say this is nonsense, anyway, it's a well-known thing..."

Qingshuang: "You girl, how come you have learned to quibble? You—"

Before she finished speaking, Lou Xiyue raised her hand to stop her, and said: "Qingshuang, don't worry, just listen to her finish."

Speaking, Lou Xiyue looked at Yunzhi, and said: "You were originally a girl on duty in the palace, so you must be very familiar with what happened in the capital."

She sat down on the soft couch, played with the invitation card in her hand, and said: "You said that Miss Yan once fell in love with the prince, so tell me what happened."

After finishing the words, Lou Xiyue raised her sharp eyes: "If you dare to lie to me with half a lie, then I will not spare you."

Hearing these words, how dare Yunzhi talk nonsense?
She hurriedly said: "My lord concubine has a life, I dare not lie when I am angry, please listen to my slaves one by one..."

The Yan family can be considered a wealthy family in the capital.

More than twenty years ago, Yan Ruo, the patriarch of the Yan family, followed the imperial chariot on an expedition and made a lot of contributions.

In order to reward Yan Ruo's achievements, the emperor conferred the title of hereditary Marquis.It's just that Yan Ruo's son, Yan Yingyan, was not good at practicing martial arts. Instead, he became a Jinshi in high school, and then sought an official position in the court.

Miss Yan Ruyu who sent out the invitation to entertain Lou Xiyue is Yan Ying's daughter.

Back then, Fu Guan's father, Fu Lan, served in Yan Ruo's army.The Fu family and the Yan family are even more family friends.

After Fu Guan was born, he also went to the army when he was young and saw soldiers performing exercises.

The first time Yan Ruyu met Fu Guan was in Yan Ruo's barracks.

There is a three-year age difference between the two children, but children, even though there is a slight age gap, they are not inferior to each other when getting along.

Therefore, Yunzhi also heard that the young Xuan Ping Wang and Miss Yan got along very well, even a little bit like childhood sweethearts.

It just didn't last long.

Not long after, Fu Lan passed away in the war, and the Fu family also became gloomy overnight, falling into a particularly bleak time.

At that time, the Yan family cared about the friendship with Fu Lan, and often took care of the Fu family, so that the Fu family would not collapse.

It wasn't until the eldest princess and the emperor asked for the edict to canonize the prince that the situation of the Fu family stabilized and they got on the right track step by step.

It's just pitiful for Fu Guan, who lost his parents at a young age, and in the next ten years, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reorganizing the Xuanping Palace.

It's just that the Xuanping Wang Fu Guan who grew up took a different path from Fu Lan.

One is from martial arts and the other is from literature.

One holds power, and the other is an idle prince.

Although the Xuanping Palace has never held power in the court since then, it can be regarded as a stable life at any rate.

And in these days when Fu Guan was getting older, the little girl from the Yan family who followed behind him in the past has also grown into a graceful figure.

Yan Mansion once wanted to marry Xuanping Palace, but Xuanping Palace never agreed.

As for Yan Ruyu, although she is a boudoir lady, she has often practiced some simple martial arts with her grandfather in these years, and even has contacts with the Xuanping Palace.

But she is a woman after all, and she still has to marry when she gets older.

Generally speaking, the marriage of young ladies from aristocratic families has always been the order of their parents and the words of a matchmaker.They themselves obediently obey their parents' wishes, and have always been ashamed to speak out about the love between men and women.

But Yan Ruyu was different.

She is so bold!
Even during the Shangyuan Festival, they lit up lanterns to show their hearts to King Xuanping!
Speaking of this incident, Yunzhi still couldn't help being surprised: "Miss Yan is really extraordinary, she actually did such a bold thing when the whole city celebrates together! Everyone in the capital knows about her troubles. Now, her vigorous deeds once became the talk of the common people after dinner."

After hearing these words, Lou Xiyue was also extremely surprised.

As Yunzhi said, she also thinks that Miss Yan is extraordinary.

To be able to say frankly about the person you love in such a disregard of the worldly vision must be a person with a bold personality.From her behavior, Lou Xiyue faintly saw some "willful spirit" that Jianghu talents have.

Lou Xiyue said: "Bold and straightforward, outspoken, this kind of temperament is very rare."

But Qingshuang disagreed: "Your Majesty, you are confused. Her behavior like that, how can she have the slightest appearance that a young lady of a family should have? When a woman gets married, her parents decide, how can she confess a man like this? Obstacle!

Qingshuang said again: "Furthermore, it is unfilial to implicate family members and become someone else's talking point. After that, how should she talk about marriage?"

Yunzhi also agreed: "Yes. Madam, although Ms. Yan's temperament is indeed true, but since then, the Yan family has never succeeded in proposing marriage to her. It can be seen that we girls should Be dignified and steady, and don’t deviate from the scriptures.”

Facing their remarks, Lou Xiyue did not express any opinions.

Lou Xiyue is a fake Ban Xiyu, and she is not the boudoir woman that the world sees.She has always been free, and what she agrees with is naturally Yan Ruyu's true temperament.

It is reasonable to think differently from Qingshuang, Yunzhi and others.

Although she disagreed, she would not forcibly change other people's opinions. She only asked, "What happened after that? Miss Yan expressed her affection to the prince, and what happened after that?"

Yunzhi said: "Of course the lord refused. Otherwise, when you enter the mansion today, my lady, what you will see is that Miss Yan is in charge of the mansion."

Lou Xiyue knew this, but she didn't quite understand it.

The Yan family has a place in the court, the family background is deep, and the ancestors have meritorious deeds. Even in a place like the capital where the power of each family is relatively concentrated, they are still a force that should not be underestimated.

For Fu Guan, if he could get the support of the Yan family, it would be beneficial and harmless.

Even though she and Fu Guan already have a marriage contract, Miss Yan cannot enter the mansion as a side concubine until the payment is made.As long as he can establish a relationship with the Yan family, if Fu Guan wants to rebel in the future, he will have more support.

Lou Xiyue has always been straightforward: "Since the Yan family and Xuanping Palace are family friends, and the prince and Yan Ruyu are childhood sweethearts, both of them know each other well, why did he refuse?"

Yunzhi shook her head and said: "How could a servant know about the master's affairs. But since the prince did not agree, there must be no love between him and Miss Yan."

Qingshuang looked at Lou Xiyue in confusion, and asked: "Miss, why do you ask such a question? Could it be that the prince rejected Miss Yan, isn't it good?"
