The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 289 Marriage

"What news?" King Rui asked.

"It's about the third prince!" Ye Xinran replied.

"About him?"

King Rui was disdainful, "Do you know as much about him as I do?"

Ye Xinran nodded, "I guarantee that King Rui definitely doesn't know this news, and your subordinates may not be able to find out!"

"Oh?"

Prince Rui was really interested now.

"What do you think."

"If it's useful, can King Rui take me to the Northern Frontier?"

Ye Xinran put forward conditions.

"The Third Prince's affairs concern the safety of your Lu family. Even if I don't ask, you will tell me."

King Rui was not let off by her and said calmly, "You are still trying to use this matter to exchange for conditions. Aren't you too greedy?"

Ye Xinran did not feel embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Prince Rui is really smart! But I really want to help. I hope that Prince Rui can seriously consider my proposal."

"Can you tell me about the Third Prince now?"

Ye Xinran restrained her smile and said seriously: "The third prince had an affair with my sister, and Lu Zhiyi is pregnant!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Prince Rui's expression froze.

This was indeed something he had not expected.

The third prince always keeps strangers away when he is outside. Before, when Concubine Shu arranged a marriage for him, he kept trying to refuse. Unexpectedly, she would try to sneak into Chencang.

“Is this good news or bad news for us?”

Ye Xinran looked at Prince Rui's expression and asked worriedly.

King Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "In the long run, this is not good news.

However, if we can do something about it, we can turn this bad thing into a good thing."

"Does King Rui have any suggestions?" Ye Xinran asked.

Prince Rui smiled. "I can help you inform the emperor about this matter. In order to maintain the face of the royal family, the emperor will definitely let the third prince marry as soon as possible. As for the rest, it's up to you."

"it is good!"

Ye Xinran nodded, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with mother."

She couldn't count on Prince Rui to make decisions for her regarding matters in the inner palace. Since Prince Rui had done what he could, she had to figure out the rest herself.

These days, Prince Rui was busy reorganizing the army. After talking to Ye Xinran, he left the palace.

Ye Xinran waited until all of Chen Rui's medicines were finished and gave him a comprehensive examination before leaving with peace of mind.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she told Leng Qingyu what Prince Rui meant.

Leng Qingyu said: "Prince Rui put pressure on us, so the Third Prince had to take action. In the past, the Third Prince despised Lu Zhiyi's background and looked down on the Marquis' Mansion.

If the Leng family wasn't rich, they would never have agreed to this marriage.

Now that things have come to this, I will let everyone know that the Leng family will not prepare a dowry for Lu Zhiyi, so the Third Prince must accept this marriage even if he has to hold his nose."

"But if he agrees to the marriage, won't Lu Zhiyi and Ning Yuer be the ones who benefit in the end?"

Ye Xinran was still a little worried.

Leng Qingyu sneered, "They wishful thinking! Ning Yuer and Lu Tingen had set up a poisonous plot together, wanting to kill me and take over the family property. It's impossible that Lu Zhiyi was completely unaware of this.

People always have to pay the price for what they do.

Now that they are in my hands, I naturally cannot fulfill their wishes.

"Mom, what are you going to do?" Ye Xinran asked with interest.

She has been back in the capital for so long, but she has never seen Leng Qingyu's methods of fighting in the house.

I used to think that my mother’s personality was like that of a little white flower who didn’t know the sufferings of the world, but when I think about the huge Leng family business that she managed personally, I know that this situation is simply impossible.

She just didn't want to show this side of herself in front of him before.

Leng Qingyu looked at her curious expression, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head, "Don't learn such dirty tricks. Didn't mother tell you that you don't need to worry about these things while I'm here?

You just need to take good care of the prince of the Rui family."

Leng Qingyu said this, and Ye Xinran had no choice but to nod.

"Mom, I'm not really good at these things, but you have to promise me that if you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me. With one more person giving advice, the chances of success will be better."

Leng Qingyu also nodded, "Don't worry, mother knows what to do."

"Mom, you and my sister have so many things to do, what about me?"

Lu Changqing was somewhat unwilling.

He clearly promised to protect his sister and mother, so why is he still useless now that something bad has happened?

Leng Qingyu looked at him and said, "The most important thing for you now is to study hard. You will be the head of the palace in the future.

But this matter also cannot be separated from your help. When I need you, I will naturally tell you! "

Hearing Leng Qingyu say this, Ye Xinran knew that she already had a plan in mind.

Since she couldn't help, she decided to leave Ding Qiao with Leng Qingyu.

Ding Qiao is smart and can ensure Leng Qingyu's safety when necessary.

While dealing with this matter, Ye Xinran also told Leng Qingyu about another thing.

"Mom, I plan to ask Zhang Qian to go back to Yunbian Village."

"What's wrong? What happened over there?"

Leng Qingyu asked worriedly.

Ye Xinran concealed the fact that she wanted to go to Northern Xinjiang, and only said: "I've been away for so long, I'm afraid that the beauty cream I left behind won't be enough, so I want to send some back. In addition, I heard that King Rui is going to escort grain to Northern Xinjiang, so I want Zhang Qian to go back to the village chief and ask if he can buy some food."

"Okay, I should!"

Leng Qingyu thought Ye Xinran was just trying to help King Rui.

Prince Rui has helped the Leng family so much, it is only right that they do more.

"Then you can arrange Zhang Qian's affairs yourself. I'll also ask branches in various places to buy some food locally. Those who are nearby should be able to make it in time."

"it is good!"

Ye Xinran felt even happier when she heard that Leng Qingyu also wanted to help.

She was not worried that the court would not be able to raise food, but just hoped that the more the better.

She couldn't predict what the situation in Northern Xinjiang was like, so she hoped to be more prepared and to be able to help.

……

The next day, Ye Xinran went to Prince Rui's Mansion as usual.

As soon as she left, an imperial decree came from the palace.

It turned out that Prince Rui had already revealed Lu Zhiyi's pregnancy to the Emperor.

The emperor first scolded Concubine Shu, saying that she did not discipline the third prince strictly.

Then he issued an edict allowing Lu Zhiyi and the third prince to get married within a month.

According to the rules, after Lu Tingen's death, the marriages of the Lu family's children must be arranged three years later.

However, according to the customs of Daliang, in order not to delay the marriage of the daughter of the family, when encountering such a situation, the marriage can also be arranged within one hundred days of the death of the elder, which is the warm mourning period.

The development of the matter was within Leng Qingyu's expectations. She received the imperial edict, stuffed silver into the eunuch who announced it, and then asked, "Eunuch, do you know if the Third Prince has also received the edict?"
