All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "It's a pair of emerald jade Ruyi."

Jade Ruyi, auspicious and Ruyi.

Who likes who?

Ordinary people see a marriage, if they like someone, in order to avoid surprises, they usually don’t come directly to the door. First, they will send some valuable and decent gifts, and they will also give some hints to test one or two. Everyone has children, elders. They are all experienced, and by looking at the etiquette, you can probably guess and give the proper response.

If it does, everyone will be happy.

If not, it will not hurt each other's dignity and friendship.

The gifts of temptation are all gold and jade.

Represents a good relationship between gold and jade, and a thousand pieces of gold are not exchanged.

The carved patterns on the top are also exquisite, or cloud patterns, wishful patterns and so on.

It further expressed that the elders were satisfied with the woman.

The more rare and valuable something is, the more it often represents the sincerity of the other party.

The Empress did not say that she sent jade directly, but it was still Yu Ruyi, and it was a rare pair of jade jade Ruyi.

The mind is clear.

The old lady Xie said again: "This is also the queen's test to the Yu clan and you."

Yu Youyao frowned, and said in her heart: Eunuch Li sent the reward with great fanfare, and in a few days, the Queen's concubine will spread the reward to her all over the world.

Where is this temptation, it is clearly Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

However, as the party concerned, Yu Youyao didn't even have the room to refuse. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, it would always be criticized.

Mrs. Xie took the words and explained the benefits to her: "Because of the Changxing Marquis Mansion and the Huahui in the Rongjun Prince's Mansion, Yu Mansion, Concubine Lan and Concubine Xu inevitably had a disagreement, and this discord was inevitable. It's not about interests, it's all about reputation. The Yu clan is a scholarly family with a profound background, and the most important thing is reputation. It's because the Yu family has gained the right and didn't suffer any losses. irreconcilable."

Concubine Lan's natal family, the former Weining Marquis Mansion, and Ning Yuanbo, who was demoted for the second time, is still in the imperial prison because of his involvement in fraudulent examinations.

The Marquis of Changxing's mansion, which was closely related to Ning Yuan's mansion, was implicated in the case of King Zhou Li, and the whole family was sacked.

At the flower party in Changxing Hou's mansion, Mrs. Weining Hou, the mother of Concubine Lan, openly helped Mrs. Changxing Hou, intending to destroy Xiaoyao'er's reputation.

Concubine Xu Gui borrowed the flower party of Rongjun Wangfu to calculate Xiaoyao's reputation, and it was even more so.

There is still room for a turnaround in the struggle for interests.

There are no eternal enemies under the world, only eternal interests.

But the calculations of the two parties are all in the public eye, involving the family's reputation, and even involving the elders. Anyone who wants to face can't be regarded as not happening.

Yu Youyao didn't recall it for a while.

Old Mrs. Xie also knew that she didn't have any advice from her mother, and she didn't know enough about the interests involved in marriage: "In other words, the Empress is using her status as the fourth prince and concubine to lure the Yu clan and you."

Yu Youyao immediately understood: "The emperor has only three princes, no matter who is the second prince or the third prince, it is not good for the Yu clan. The Yu clan has just emerged, and its foundation in the dynasty is not as good as some old-fashioned honors. If you want to go further, It is necessary to have the power of the dragon, the empress is clearly rewarding me, but in fact she is rubbing her feet, using the identity of the fourth prince as the concubine to test, and lure me, if the fourth prince in the future...I..."

There is always a conclusion in contention.

The Yu clan has already walked into a dead end, no matter whether it is for the sake of further progress in the court, or for the great family, whether it can continue to stand in the court and continue to inherit, there is no choice.

Yu Youyao felt terrified.

Grandpa Xie sighed softly: "The Yu clan is currently in the imperial court, at the height of its glory, and the Marquis of Zhenguo and Qi's mansion, which are friends with them, also gained power in the court and should not be underestimated, and you are currently in Liaodong. , I have a very close relationship with King Wu Mu, if you win over you, the Empress will definitely have a closer relationship with King Wu Mu, and the interests behind you are too great."

What he didn't say was that Mrs. Yu wrote a letter to him in person shortly after the Rongjun Wangfu Flower Fair. In the letter, she mentioned that Liuhui Temple of Baoning Temple, Master Hui Neng, and Chan Master Huiji, were the two most important people. Yao'er wrote the order, and even mentioned a sentence, Mr. Xianyun also said something similar.

Heavenly Phoenix-

If this story spreads, Xiao Yao'er will probably become the target of public criticism.

If you want to get it, you will hollow out your mind to calculate.

If you can't get it, you'll spend your time trying to destroy it.

On a hot day, Yu Youyao broke into a cold sweat for no reason and was cold all over: "Then, the empress's adoption of the fourth prince as his heir is not just a rumor, it is likely to succeed."

So from the very beginning, the Empress had already planned to drag her into the water.

She couldn't help but continue to analyze what's going on here.

There is a direct heir in the dynasty, and the royalists are escorted. It is a sure thing for the fourth prince to ascend to the throne, and Yu Youyao, the prince's concubine, stands behind the royalist faction headed by the Yu family, Zhenguohoufu, Qi Palace, even King Wu Mu, there is almost no suspense after being conferred.

There is an emperor in the family, and the Yu clan's fame and fortune are still to come.

With such a dignified and supreme authority, few people in the world can stand the temptation.

It was Yu Youyao himself, who couldn't help but be stunned when he suddenly thought of all this.

She thought of the situation when she entered the palace with her grandmother. At that time, she was crawling at the feet of the empress dowager, trembling, and she didn't even dare to breathe. People trembled with fear, lest there was a mistake in the etiquette, heaven and **** were only among the noble people's thoughts.

Such a supreme honor, it was his turn—

Yu Youyao's heart was beating wildly, and even her cheeks showed an abnormal flush.

Grandpa Xie frowned, "Xiao Yao'er, what do you think?"

That's why he'd been reluctant to say it before.

In addition to being an elder, it is not easy for him to be in front of his sister. When he mentions the marriage between men and women, he is also worried that behind this, the interests are too involved, in case Xiaoyao'er is blindfolded...

Yu Youyao woke up like a dream, she bit her lip, lowered her head subconsciously, and was a little ashamed to open her mouth: "I and King Wumu..."

Mrs. Yu didn't look relaxed, and said solemnly: "Although you have a covenant with King Wu Mu, but you have neither your parents' orders, nor a matchmaking agreement, the marriage has not been settled properly, and the two sides have not exchanged tokens of engagement. It is justifiable, so as not to damage your reputation, it is naturally difficult to announce it to the public."

This is the obvious reason.

Of course, there is a deeper layer: "The current situation in the court is very delicate. You and King Wu Mu have a marriage contract, and it is not easy to make it public. You even have to treat this marriage as non-existent."
