[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life
Chapter 195: Outer Courtyard Turbulence
Zuo, who was walking at the end, was even more angry than Cui at this moment.
If she wasn't the Princess of Anyang County, how could she be forced into a corner by Rong Enqing and have to admit her mistakes?
And that bitch, Concubine Liang, actually embarrassed her in public! She will be punished sooner or later!
The others also had different expressions.
Even Rong Enqing couldn't help but frown.
Concubine Liang is so different from the image in the rumors!
She originally thought that Concubine Liang would be an arrogant and conceited person. Princess Lingchuan's character was also somewhat influenced by Concubine Liang.
But in reality, Concubine Liang is approachable, kind and amiable. She doesn't seem to be superior at all. This doesn't fit her image as a favored concubine at all!
Moreover, Concubine Liang's attitude towards her, or Concubine Liang's attitude towards Shun'an Marquis' Mansion, was too strange!
Logically speaking, Concubine Liang, who had said in person that Marquis Yong'an Yunyi forced and killed her father, should have hated the Marquis Shun'an Mansion and its people to the core.
She was even prepared to be harassed by Concubine Liang.
But in the end, Concubine Liang did not deliberately make things difficult for her. She even sought justice for her and asked Zuo to apologize to her.
Is it because she is on good terms with Princess Anyang?
If this is the reason, then Concubine Liang must know about the matter between Princess Anyang and the Third Prince. She would even be happy to hear about it.
However, Princess Anyang is independent and unconventional. Even though she has General Weiyuan Yang Wei as her adoptive father, it still cannot change her identity as an orphan.
If Concubine Liang wanted to win over Yang Wei through Princess Anyang, she would probably miscalculate. Although Yang Wei and his wife are now taking good care of Princess Anyang, they may not stand firmly behind her at the critical moment. Especially when it comes to the dispute over the throne, which could lead to the extermination of the family if not handled properly.
Could it be that Concubine Liang couldn't think of this?
Or does she not care about these things and simply likes Princess Anyang, so she loves her as well?
Rong Enqing felt that things would definitely not be that simple!
Even a fool wouldn't believe that Concubine Liang, who had been the most favored concubine in the harem for twenty years, had no ambition to help her son ascend to the throne!
But if Concubine Liang’s attitude towards her was not because of Princess Anyang, then what could it be because of?
Rong Enqing was puzzled.
***
On the other side, after separating from Rong Enqing, Yun Ye followed the servant to the banquet hall in the front yard alone.
The reception room in the backyard is divided into three floors according to the rank of the guests.
The reception room in the outer courtyard is divided into two halls for adults and children.
Yun Ye, who was only eight years old, was naturally taken to the children's hall.
As soon as Yun Ye entered the hall, before he had time to look around, he saw two children about his age coming towards him.
"You are the young marquis of Shun'an Marquisate, Yun Ye, right?" The slightly older child looked Yun Ye up and down and said politely, "My name is Yang Tian, and this is my second brother, Yang Zeng."
"We have been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you come just now?" The younger children pouted their lips in dissatisfaction and said, "I don't think you are that great. Why did grandpa let you be our playmate?"
Yang Zeng's words were full of criticism and disdain, and he felt superior when facing Yun Ye.
Yun Ye frowned briefly, then relaxed his brows quickly. He suppressed his displeasure and said politely and distantly, "You two are the grandsons of Minister Yang, right? Thank you for waiting for me. I am a little tired after traveling all the way. I want to sit down and rest. I will not disturb you any more."
Then he turned and walked towards a vacant space.
However, just as he took two steps, Yang Zeng grabbed his arm.
"Hey, do you know the rules? We brothers haven't finished talking yet!" Yang Zeng had a sour face and stared at Yun Ye angrily.
Yun Ye was forced to stop and turn around, looking at Yang Zeng calmly and said, "A gentleman should talk, not fight. What is the Second Young Master Yang doing?"
Yang Tian, who was standing by, also quickly pulled Yang Zeng, and shyly bowed to Yun Ye, explaining, "Please forgive me, young marquis. These days, my grandfather always mentions the young marquis, praising him highly, and always compares us brothers with him, saying that we are not as good as him.
“Not only that, my grandfather has been telling us brothers to spend more time with you at banquets. It would be great if we could make friends with you.
"Children are always stubborn and never give in. That's why my second brother offended the young marquis. Please forgive me, young marquis."
The logic is smooth, the structure is clear, and the reasons are sufficient.
However, Yun Ye discovered two problems from Yang Tian's words.
First, Yang Tian was calm and rational, not like a child.
Secondly, why would a high-ranking official pay attention to a child who hadn't even grown all his hair yet? And this was when the Yang family had just arrived in Beijing from other places!
Logically speaking, shouldn't the Yang family be concerned about the situation in the court, the emperor's preferences, and the movements of the princes?
Why are people paying attention to him, a kid from a ruined marquis's mansion... There must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary!
I need to write this down and think about it with my grandmother later.
After thinking about it, Yun Ye quickly calmed down and responded with a smile: "Young Master Yang, you are too kind. I thought I had offended the Second Young Master unintentionally. It turned out to be a misunderstanding."
Just as the three of them were standing at the door talking, two young boys suddenly ran in from the hall: eleven-year-old Xu Xiaoqi and nine-year-old Xu Xiaojiu.
Perhaps because he had seen Yang Zeng holding Yun Ye back, as soon as he ran up to him, the nine-year-old Xu Xiaojiu blocked Yun Ye's way and said to Yang Zeng with a ferocious look, "If you dare to hit Yun Ye, I will tell my fifth brother and have him punish you severely!"
Xu Xiaoqi pulled Xu Xiaojiu awkwardly, cursing him in his heart as a "tattler". Then he said embarrassedly: "My ninth brother is a fool, eldest and second sons, don't mind. Just treat him as if he is farting!"
"Seventh brother, you said swear words! I will tell grandma later!" Xu Xiaojiu looked a little proud.
Xu Xiaoqi was speechless. A good boy, but he was even better at complaining than a girl! He really lived up to his reputation as a "complaint master"!
Seeing Xu Xiaoqi speechless, Xu Xiaojiu, who thought he had won a small victory, patted his chest and said to Yun Ye: "Don't be afraid, no one dares to bully you when I'm here!"
Before coming, grandma told him and his seventh brother to take good care of Yun Ye at the Yang family's banquet and not let Yun Ye be bullied. After all, he is the nephew of their future fifth sister-in-law and their nephew, so he should be protected, right?
This time, Xu Xiaoqi did not refute Xu Xiaojiu's words, but smiled and nodded at Yun Ye.
Yun Ye looked at the two men gratefully and said, "Thank you Uncle Seventh and Uncle Nine for your protection. Yun Ye is fine. I was just talking to the two young masters of the Yang family just now. There was no conflict, and the two young masters of the Yang family did not bully Yun Ye."
"That's good!" Xu Xiaojiu nodded, patted Yun Ye's shoulder like an adult, turned around and glared at Yang Zeng.
Yang Zeng was so furious that he was about to burst into tears, but Yang Tian pulled him behind him.
