Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Seven days after Emperor Mingde went to Shuiyunjian, Xuanyuan Yan finally waited for the imperial edict he had been longing for. The chief eunuch Wang Fu led a group of guards to stand in the middle of the courtyard and read aloud:

The third prince is both talented and virtuous, respectful and modest. He is now canonized as King of Yong'an, and his fiefdom is set at Dengzhou.

Before getting married, he would travel back and forth between the capital and his fiefdom every six months, but after getting married, he could not return to the capital without being summoned.

Xuanyuan Yan respectfully took the imperial edict, his joy was beyond words. After learning that he was lame and took the initiative to ask for a fief, he actually didn't care about all the kindness his father showed him.

But today's imperial edict was truly written into his heart, which shows that he really put his heart into it.

He felt that all the grievances he had suffered before could be written off from today on, and he no longer had any complaints.

Qing Yi handed a heavy purse to the eunuch Wang Fu at the right time.

"Father-in-law, you have worked hard on the journey. If you are not in a hurry, please come in and have a rest and drink some tea."

Wang Fu accepted it generously, then smiled and shook his head:

"No, I still have to go to Shangguan's house again." After saying that, he looked at Xuanyuan Yan meaningfully before turning and leaving.

Everyone kneeling on the ground stood up one after another. Bai Er, who was the most impatient, couldn't help but ask:

"The Shangguan family that Eunuch Wang mentioned should be Miss Qingyue's family, right? Could it be that Lord Shangguan will be reinstated or promoted to the position of Imperial College Priest?!"

Mother Wu stood up with the help of the maid, and gave Bai Er a slap on the head in anger.

"Silly boy, since the eunuch specifically told His Highness about this, it must be something related to His Highness! Could it be...?!"

An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and she suddenly covered her mouth and looked at her master with wide eyes. Could it be the thing she had been looking forward to every day? Was their Third Prince's Mansion really going to have a female master? !

Bai Er was puzzled when he heard this. He rubbed the back of his head which was hurt by the beating and asked:

"Mother Wu, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

However, no one paid attention to his questioning, and everyone went about their own business. Only Zheng Bo stayed there with an excited look on his face, waiting for his questions.

Bai Er felt a chill on his back. Although he really wanted to know, Zheng Bo would definitely not let him go for a while.

After thinking about it, he decided to just forget it. Why not just go and guard the Shangguan family’s mansion?

Thinking of this, he immediately jumped onto the nearest tree.

"See you later, Mr. Zheng. I have to get busy!"

Speaking of the Shangguan Mansion, today happens to be a holiday, and it is rare that the two brothers Shangguan Song and Shangguan Lan are both at home.

Shangguan Qingyue had planned to go home early from the shop to have a good lunch with her two brothers and mother. But unexpectedly, she was called back by the servants after staying in the shop for less than an hour.

She actually had to go back to receive the imperial edict!

Thinking of what the third prince had said to her a few days ago, the little girl blushed and rode her donkey, the little flower donkey, non-stop towards home.

Shangguan Qingyue listened in a daze as the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, and then took it in a daze. She was unable to come to her senses until Eunuch Wang left happily with a heavier purse in his pocket, smiling.

Baili Nanqing was a little upset when she saw this. Her precious daughter was so happy that she was almost silly. This was just an engagement. If they got married in the future, wouldn't her soul be seduced away? !

Shangguan Lan saw that his mother looked unhappy, so he immediately tried to smooth things over. But before he could say anything, he heard his younger sister say in a panic:

"I, I'm engaged now?"

Shangguan Qingyue felt that it was very unreal and even a little panicked. She was not even fourteen years old yet, and she was going to get married in two years? !

Seeing the panic on her daughter's face, Baili Nanqing finally felt better. This was what was right!

So he comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, dear Yue'er. You will always be your precious daughter, whom your mother cherishes at the top of her heart. This will not change even if you get married and have children in the future."

Shangguan Lan was listening with a sour feeling in his teeth, he looked at his eldest brother and sighed:

"Brother, I'm afraid that we two brothers were picked up by our mother. We were scolded by our mother as brats all day long, but once we came to my little sister, she became our precious daughters. Sigh..."

Shangguan Song raised his lips slightly and said jokingly:

"Not including me, you are the only one in our family who is scolded by mother."

Shangguan Lan: ...

The news that the third prince was named Prince of Yong'an and would soon be enfeoffed as a fiefdom soon spread to everyone.

As for his engagement with the second Miss Shangguan, it seemed less important in comparison and was therefore ignored by most people.

However, the Fifth Prince's wife Wu Yuean is not included.

In her opinion, the Third Prince was destined to be abandoned by the Emperor because of his lame leg, but she could not accept the fact that Shangguan Qingyue, the daughter of a small headmaster, had the same status as herself.

When she thought about the Dragon Boat Festival, she tried her best to conspire with her husband but failed to push that bitch into the abyss, and she felt even more upset.

However, her reactions were completely different from those of the Fifth Prince and his wife. Xuanyuan Chen wanted to laugh out loud after hearing the news.

Now the third child has been abandoned by his father, and the fourth child has always been a useless little transparent person. As for his good eldest brother, humph, he looks like a short-lived ghost!

Therefore, this throne will be in his pocket sooner or later!

Compared to the excitement outside, the fact that the Third Prince was crowned as a king and was about to be enfeoffed did not cause any waves in Jingyue Palace. Rong Mama, who had been worried for a whole day, finally felt half relieved.

But just when she was about to relax, she heard a calm voice:

"Madame Rong, come closer and listen."

After hearing this, Nanny Rong immediately perked up, dragged her increasingly fat body to the front of Concubine Jing, bowed and listened attentively.

Her expression changed again and again, and finally calmed down. She replied respectfully "yes" and left quickly.

Three days later was Concubine Jing's birthday, and the people from Jingyue Palace went to the Third Prince's residence early to pass on the message that the Concubine was concerned about her son's leg injury and she didn't need to go on her birthday.

Based on Xuanyuan Yan's understanding of his biological mother, she either disliked his lameness and was ashamed of it, or she had some "shameful" plan to implement.

Neither of them mattered to him, he was content to be free.

Since the last time he went to Jingyue Palace, he stopped thinking about his mother. But there was one thing he couldn't let go of, which was the reason why Qingqing was abandoned.

Back then, Aunt Baili was almost selected to enter the palace. This was the only thing he could find that could be related to his mother. But after all, Aunt Baili did not enter the palace, and his father never cared about it.

Therefore, it doesn't make sense to have a desire for revenge for this reason.

Just as he was unconsciously tapping the table with his fingers and staring at the sunflowers on the table in deep thought, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the study door.

His first reaction was that something might have happened to Qingqing, because the only person who knocked on the door like that was Bai Er, and Bai Er had always been responsible for protecting his little girl.

So he stood up from his seat suddenly and said loudly:

"Enter!"

Bai Er immediately pushed the door open and walked in. It was already very hot outside and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.

Sweat flowed into his eyes, making it difficult for him to open them.

A smell of sweat soon reached his nose. Xuanyuan Yan frowned and asked:

"Why are you in such a hurry? What happened to Qingqing?"

Bai Er immediately shook his head like a rattle, not caring about being polite, and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and replied:

"The future princess is fine, Your Majesty, don't worry. I accidentally discovered something and I think it is very likely related to the abandonment of the future princess, so I hurried back to report to you."
