Watching Xue Liu being dragged out, Lu Xiangzhi walked into the room dumbfounded. Ye Zhen was acting coquettishly to Pei Shi like a little girl, completely different from the fierce and strong woman she had been outside.
"Your Royal Highness, this lowly one was rude just now. Please forgive me. Please don't drive me out." Lu Xiangzhi bowed to Ye Zhen and said in fear and trepidation.
Ye Zhen snorted, "Mother, this man just said that I can't get married. What do you think I should do with him?"
Pei Shi stifled a laugh and said, "Drive him away."
Lu Xiangzhi immediately jumped up, "Mother, are you still my mother?"
"You deserve it!" Ye Zhen smiled happily, "You bully me."
Pei Shi turned to look at Ye Zhen, "Yao Yao, if you drive her out like this, how will you explain it to the old lady later?"
"Mother, she is just a sick servant. If you don't let her go out to recuperate, do you want to leave her illness to others?" Ye Zhen's eyes were cold. Xue Liu was also a disgusting existence. She knew that Lu Shiming had no interest in her, yet she insisted on staying as a concubine to disgust others. If she didn't take this opportunity to drive such a person away, when would she?
"She used to serve your father and served Old Furen for many years …" The main reason why Pei shi still tolerated Xue Liu was because she didn't want Old Furen to think that she was someone who couldn't tolerate others. Even though Old Furen never said anything, she still restrained herself. Fortunately, her husband never cared about Xue Liu. Female?
Ye Zhen sneered, "So what? Isn't she a servant just because she served Father? "
Pei Shi frowned in contemplation. She felt that her daughter's words were reasonable. Because she cared too much about the old lady's opinion of her, she hesitated in many things and did not dare to let go. No matter what Xue Liu was, she was just a servant. Couldn't she decide whether a servant should stay or leave?
"Yao Yao, you have grown up!" Pei Shi looked at Ye Zhen with emotion. She thought that her daughter still needed her protection, but she didn't know that her daughter had quietly grown up. Today, for the first time, she showed the majesty and momentum of a lady. Just now, when she heard her daughter's words in the room, she wondered if she had heard it wrong.
Ye Zhen smiled and leaned on Pei Shi's shoulder. "I will always be my mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
Lu Xiangzhi said, "Mom, you see, we don't need to worry about Yaoyao being bullied in the future. It'll be good enough if she doesn't bully others."
Pei shi laughed and hit him. "You only know how to make up stories about your sister!"
"Serves you right!" Ye Zhen clapped her hands and cheered, "Mother, my brother is bad. Marry him a tigress in the future. ♀ "
Lu Xiangzhi wailed, "We already have two tigresses at home. How bad would it be to marry another one?"
Ye Rou snorted. "You're asking for a beating again."
"Sigh, only women are hard to raise. I'd better go find my big brother." Lu Xiangzhi pretended to sigh helplessly. He shook his head and bowed to Pei shi. "Mother, your son will take his leave."
Madam Pei laughed and scolded, "Let's go, let's go."
"Looks like I'm not mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Instead, I'm more like a rag." Lu Xiangzhi sobbed a few times in grievance. When Pei Shi and Ye Zhen were about to beat him, he had already run out.
Ye Zhen was in a good mood after Lu Xiangzhi's antics. "Mom, I'm going to see my grandmother."
"Your grandmother has entered the palace. Today, the empress dowager sent an oral order for the old madam to enter the palace to accompany her." Although Lu Wushuang was no longer an imperial concubine, the empress dowager's attitude towards the Lu family had not changed. She would often reward the old madam with good things, which was a good thing for the Lu family.
"What is grandmother doing in the palace?" Ye Zhen was startled. Why did she suddenly enter the palace?
Pei shi laughed, "How would I know? She probably went to talk to the empress dowager."
Ye Zhen was a little worried. Did the old madam talk to the empress dowager about the marriage today? Even if she was willing to marry Tang Zhen, she could not propose marriage at this time. Mo Rongzhan would never agree! If he knew about this … She could not imagine how angry he would be.
She only hoped that even if the Empress Dowager knew about it, she would not tell him. In a few more days, she could tell Madame Dowager not to mention her marriage for the time being. Otherwise, she did not know what Mo Rongzhan would do.
Returning to her room with a perturbed heart, Ye Zhen asked Dai Mei to go to the upper room to inquire. The old madam had not returned yet, so she had to go to the study to read. Huang Fuchen had given her a lot of divination and medical books. Although she had the ability to memorize, it took her a long time to read those books.
Ye Zhen was easily fascinated by reading. Time passed slowly and it was dark in the blink of an eye. Yu Ping came in to light the lamp and persuaded Ye Zhen to eat dinner. Ye Zhen held a book in one hand and a steamed bun in the other.
By the time she put down the book and remembered to pay her respects to the old madam, the old madam had already fallen asleep.
The next day, Ye Zhen went to accompany Old Madam Lu for breakfast early. She heard that she had mentioned her marriage to the empress dowager yesterday and that the empress dowager would summon Tang Zhen today. She silently decided not to enter the palace from today on.
She heard that Doctor Qi would go to Huaijiang tomorrow. She would ask her master for help and let him take her to Huaijiang.
Palace of Benevolence and Peace.
The empress dowager had met Tang Zhen and was very satisfied with him. She was thinking about how to bestow the marriage.
"We have to choose a good day. Yao Yao is only fifteen years old. Ai jia can't bear to let her get married so soon. Why don't we get engaged first and wait for another two years before getting married?" The empress dowager said to Aunt Cheng with a smile.
Aunt Cheng covered her mouth and smiled. "You want the princess to accompany you more."
While they were talking, Mo Rongyi came to pay his respects to the empress dowager and happened to hear the marriage. "Mother, what are you talking about? Who is getting married? "
When the empress dowager saw her youngest son coming, her face showed a happy smile. "We are talking about Yao Yao. Ai jia saw Tang Zhen today. He and Yao Yao are really a good match."
Mo Rongyi's eyes lit up. "Mother, do you mean Yao Yao and Big Brother Tang?"
"Yes, Tang Zhen went to the Lu family to propose marriage. Old Madam Lu asked Ai jia to bestow the marriage. Ai jia thinks that Marquis Jingning is also good." The empress dowager said with a smile.
"Big Brother Tang is very good." Mo Rongyi also felt that the two of them were a good match. "Mother, when the time comes, will you let me go to the wedding?"
The empress dowager said with a smile, "Of course you have to go. You have to send Yao Yao to get married."
Mo Rongyi was immediately happy. "Then I have to prepare some dowry for Yao Yao. If anyone dares to bully her in the future, I will stand up for her."
Since Ye Zhen saved Mo Rongyi in the hunting ground at the risk of her own life, he has now regarded Ye Zhen as his own sister.
The empress dowager smiled. "You are also a brother-in-law. Naturally, you have to stand up for Yao Yao."
Mo Rongyi thought that he had to go to his imperial brother and ask the emperor to give Yao Yao more good things to show that he valued her so that no one would dare to bully her in the future.
