The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 315 Attracting Bees and Butterflies (2)
My God, His Highness Prince Ping looks so pretty when he smiles, even Seventh Brother, who is quite well-known among the noble children, is far behind.But, why does His Highness Prince Ping, who is as noble and pure as a bright moon, treat that village girl so gently?Even flirting with that village girl...

After King Ping and his entourage entered the hall, and the Da Furen returned to the side hall with a few girls to wait, Wang Jingxi slowly came back to her senses.His Highness King Ping is her future husband!How can that village girl who doesn't understand anything be worthy of His Royal Highness Ping Wang who has outstanding literary talents?Can she understand His Highness's poems?Do you understand His Highness's ambition?Wang Jingpin clenched her fists in her sleeves, thinking angrily, one day, His Highness will show her that kind of smile too!Most definitely!
In the main hall, Yang Yan briefly explained his purpose of coming, which was naturally to inspect the disaster situation and water conservancy.But then he said again: "Now, there is a serious matter to bother the third master."

The third master immediately got up and bowed down, saying: "Your Highness, if you have something to do, just ask."

Yang Yan said with a serious face: "I have traveled all the way, and saw that the drought is serious. I am afraid that this year's crops will probably not be guaranteed. The people even have difficulty drinking water, and they are very worried."

The third master didn't know what Yang Yan meant for a while, did he want their Wang family to pay for disaster relief?But shouldn't he discuss this matter with his eldest brother and father?
At this moment, I only heard Yang Yan continue to say: "I heard that the concubine of the third master's family knows a kind of waterwheel, which may be able to draw water from the Yellow River. This king is here for the blueprint of this waterwheel. "

When Yang Yan said this, not to mention the members of the Wang family, even Yu Wenyao was surprised.When His Highness set off from Chang'an, he took several craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry with him, and recruited several good carpenters from the private sector. He said that he wanted to test a new type of large water wheel, and the prince also expressed his opinion.But after discussing along the way, several craftsmen tried several times with models without success.Could it be that Zixian's younger sister is not only excellent in calligraphy and painting, but also makes waterwheels?How smart is this girl!And how did His Highness know?Zi Xian told him?

Not only Yu Wenyao couldn't understand this question, but everyone present except Wang Jinwen who had vaguely guessed some of it also couldn't understand it.The old man of the Wang family even thought that maybe this was just an excuse for King Ping to come to see that girl.

The third master immediately asked someone to go out to explain, and then the eldest lady led An Ran in.

An Ran bowed to Yang Yanchen again, and then to the elders of the Wang family, then stood quietly with her head down.

Yang Yan simply said what he meant, and An Ran's face became serious, and he raised his head and asked, "Is it a large water tanker that can draw water from the Yellow River?"

Yang Yan nodded.He had seen it before when he was traveling with An Ran, and An Ran even drew two sketches.He just hoped she could remember a rough idea.

An Ran recalled it carefully, and could vaguely remember it, so she nodded and said, "I'll do my best."

After that, An Ran bowed out and went to the back hall to draw pictures.She didn't use pen and ink, but only sent a few sticks of charcoal.While waiting, she carefully recalled the big waterwheel of the Yellow River that she had seen in her previous life. What was its shape, what was its principle and structure?
However, in the front hall, the Elder Master and Yang Yan said a few words politely, and then tentatively said: "It's rare for His Highness to come here once, why don't some girls in the family greet you again?"

Yang Yan was stunned, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly to look at the old man with some scrutiny and said: "After all, there is a difference between men and women, the girls in the house are noble, and they have been invited earlier, let them go back and rest!"

The Elder Master and the Third Master looked at each other, and the Elder Master signaled to the Third Master that the timing was just right.

The third master thought about Yang Yan's refusal before, so he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, my wife is getting married, according to the secular tradition, there must be a sister to accompany her, so that she will have an arm in the future..."

Yang Yan was startled, and only then did he fully understand.Concubine?Now there are concubines?Didn't it only exist during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?How did it arrive in Tai Sui?Yang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, he forgot about it.

"Thank you for the kindness of the Wang family. The king is already very satisfied to be able to marry the daughter of the Wang family as his concubine. There is no need for this concubine!"

It wasn't a surprise that the third master Yang Yan refused.If Prince Ping's Mansion was so easy to enter, they would have already stuffed their daughter in.Only this time, they were confident.

"Your Highness, it's like this." The Eldest Master said with a bit of heaviness and hesitation, "When the imperial decree of marriage came down to the royal family, the Emperor had other orders." Having said this, the Eldest Master paused, seeing that Yang Yan was listening. , and then continued, "The emperor also has a secret decree, let the Wang family take the daughter-in-law as their concubine, and marry them to the Prince Ping's mansion."

Yang Yan frowned, what did the father want to do?Okay, why do you have to find a woman for him?
He thought about it calmly from the perspective of his father, could it be that his father still refused to believe that he really wanted to marry a wife?Or the royal father knew that he was plotting against Dugu Xiangyun before, and he hadn't consummated the marriage with her in the past few months, so he brought the daughter of the Wang family into the palace as a side concubine, so that he could not be too cold for the face of the Wang family. daughter.Is the father worried that he only favors An Ran?It has always been a taboo for emperors to be favored by emperors. The emperor's father is so concerned about his wives and concubines. Is this a sign of succession?

The road to love has always been difficult. Facing the self-reserved Elder Master and the Third Master, Yang Yan smiled, and first evaded: "Since the father has a decree, he will naturally follow it. But the father once promised me to marry the person I love. This king has never heard of this decree before leaving Beijing. You two..." At this point, King Ping also paused, and smiled slightly at the Eldest Master and the Third Master.

The Elder Master and the Third Master felt tense, and the Elder Master hurriedly explained: "This is indeed the Emperor's will, Your Highness need not doubt it."

Facing the eyes of the Eldest Master and the Third Master looking at him for a clear answer, Yang Yan thought for a while, and said seriously: "I sent the girl here because of my admiration for the famous family of your family. The mansion is relatives, so why bother? If this king were a romantic person, there would have been a lot of women in the mansion, do you think so?"

The eldest master and the third master looked at each other, hesitated and said: "The emperor's will..."

Yang Yan waved his hands and said with a smile: "This king is here to do business first, and also to visit. When I return to Beijing, I will report to my father. I think my father has always cared about my marriage. If I have something to say, I will Come back."
