The Seventh Prince was also very curious about what the Marquis of Zhenbei would write in the letter to the two of them.
The two did not open the letter in Xian'ya Palace, but planned to go back to their own place to open the letter. No matter what kind of feelings they had for Concubine Yun Shu, they were all on guard against her.
On the way, Yan Cheng realized that the Seventh Prince had only received a few letters from the Marquis of Zhenbei in his life.
Even if I received the letter, what was written on it was nothing important, just like it was written casually.
Arriving at Beiyi No. 1, Yan Cheng roughly summarized the character of the Marquis of Zhenbei through the description of the seventh prince.
A super daughter-con who is talented in leading troops in battle.
In the eyes of the Marquis of Zhenbei, his daughter is a treasure, his son is an accident, and his grandchildren are incidental.
Concubine Yun Shu grew up under the doting of the Marquis of Zhenbei. She had everything she wanted and developed an arrogant and unscrupulous personality.
When opening the letter, Yan Cheng suddenly remembered that the novel seemed to say that Concubine Yun Shu had loved a man when she was young, but the man had someone in his heart and would rather die than marry her.
Concubine Yun Shu's vigorous pursuit caused a sensation in the city. After Concubine Yun Shu was rejected, everyone in the capital was watching the excitement in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had wanted to teach that man a lesson, but he was just a minor official in the Hanlin Academy, and it would be easy for the Marquis of Zhenbei to deal with him.
But the love-brained Concubine Yun Shu would not allow the Marquis of Zhenbei to touch her sweetheart, and threatened the Marquis of Zhenbei that if anything happened to her sweetheart, she would also die.
Later, the man married a girl of equal social status. Concubine Yun Shu was disheartened and locked herself in her room for three days without eating or drinking.
This made the Marquis of Zhenbei very anxious. How could his precious daughter hurt herself because of a short-sighted man?
Marquis Zhenbei thought of many ways and talked with Concubine Yun Shu for a long time.
Everyone knew what Marquis Zhenbei and Concubine Yun Shu had said. In short, when Miss Yun appeared in public again, she became Concubine Yun Shu and never mentioned that man again.
Yan Cheng hadn't thought much about it before, but today when he received the letter from the Marquis of Zhenbei, he suddenly realized that the man who could win the heart of the Marquis of Zhenbei's daughter but not marry her, and finally escaped unscathed at the hands of the Marquis of Zhenbei must have an extraordinary identity in the novel.
The man was able to escape unscathed due to the power of the plot.
Maybe he is an important character in the book.
The man was a minor official in the Hanlin Academy back then, possibly one of the top three. Calculating their ages, he was a few years older than Concubine Yun Shu, who had married before entering the palace...
There seems to be an important person who meets the above prerequisites!
Yan Cheng widened his eyes in surprise.
The time-traveling girl's friend, No. 1 Fish, was a top scholar and an official in the Hanlin Academy. He had been in love with the time-traveling girl for a long time. After the time-traveling girl married King Ping, she remained single for several years. Finally, she was forced by her family to marry and have children.
The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. Concubine Yun Shu's past is very consistent with the development of the novel's plot.
If the top scholar is the male supporting character in the novel, then Concubine Yun is the vicious cannon fodder who keeps pestering the male supporting character.
How could a cannon fodder possibly marry the male supporting role successfully?
Thinking of this, Yan Cheng actually felt that Concubine Yun Shu was a bit pitiful. She was born to be a cannon fodder and villain. She was a cannon fodder in the original novel and a villain in the sequel novel, and finally died without a complete body.
Then he felt that he was quite pitiful, having inherited the fate of being a cannon fodder from his mother, being cut off at a young age, and not being able to rest in peace even after death, as his body was moved around a lot.
Well, my brother is also pitiful. He inherited the villain's fate from my mother and was forced to raise the flag of rebellion. He will be infamous for eternity after his death.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was also pitiful. He defended his country for decades, but his entire family died out a few years after his death, leaving not even a trace of his bloodline.
Hiss~ This is the cannon fodder villain family!
The Seventh Prince called out to Yan Cheng several times, but got no response. He waved his hand in front of Yan Cheng's face, "...Cheng'er, what are you thinking about?"
"elder brother?"
"What did your grandfather write in the letter to you?"
Yan Cheng vaguely remembered that he wanted to read the letter, and he lowered his eyes and read ten lines at a glance...
Wait a minute, there's no need to read it quickly. This letter doesn't even have ten lines in total.
"...Tell me I can go to a bank in the capital and withdraw two hundred thousand taels of silver."
After reading the letter, Yan Cheng was very confused. His grandfather, whom he had never met, wrote to him just to give him money?
The Seventh Prince said: "Mine too, but I have less than you. My grandfather said I can withdraw 100,000 taels of silver."
The Seventh Prince didn't feel any difference in treatment, but he had some guesses.
"The extra 100,000 taels is probably your grandfather's compensation to you. In matters other than mother's, grandfather has always been clear about rewards and punishments."
After living in exile for more than ten years, he finally found his ancestral home and received compensation of 100,000 taels from his grandfather.
This Marquis of Zhenbei is quite generous.
Yan Cheng was hesitant to take this unexpected fortune. He had a distant relationship with the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he was not short of money. Was it okay to take the 100,000 taels?
The Seventh Prince urged him to take it: "Grandfather has given me a lot of banknotes over the years. What I have, you should have too. You should take it. It will be a great way to renovate your mansion and make it more comfortable."
Yan Cheng then wrote down the location of the money shop mentioned in the letter.
Since everyone has it, he won't be polite.
*
The next day was the day when the princes and princesses went to pay their respects to the queen.
As usual, Yan Cheng went to find the Seventh Prince first, and then the two of them walked towards Fengyi Palace together.
As soon as he saw the person, Yan Cheng noticed the big dark circles under the Seventh Prince's eyes and was about to say something but stopped himself.
The Seventh Prince yawned and explained, "Last night, as soon as I closed my eyes, I had a nightmare. It kept me awake for half the night."
"Brother, do you remember what your nightmare was like?"
"I don't remember."
The Seventh Prince thought about it again and again, barely able to recall a glimpse, "It seems like a giant black snake swallowed someone."
