Chapter 449 There is a way
The second thing was that the emperor issued an edict to appoint the third prince Qin Peiyou as the crown prince.
The news of these two things came out almost on the same day, which made people feel unexpected but also reasonable.
As everyone knows, among all the concubines in the harem, the emperor's favorite is Concubine Shu. A daughter is noble because of her mother, so it is common for the little princess to be given a title.
The Third Prince is the son of Concubine Shu, and he has worked hard over the years. He has a dignified character and the ability to take charge. He was originally a candidate for the crown prince. Now that the First Prince is disabled, the position of the crown prince must belong to the Third Prince.
What's more, the Third Prince is an approachable person?
After all, various rumors were circulating in the community a few months ago. Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there is no smoke without fire. After all, he was praised because he did a lot of things.
Of course, during this period of praise and admiration, it is inevitable that some words will become more and more common as they are passed on.
As for fabrication...
How could that be?
Fabrication involves throwing mud at others. How could someone be so stupid and idle as to fabricate stories specifically to praise the good points of others?
So, it's impossible.
At this moment, Minister Yan, who had heard too much gossip outside, had a dark face.
Mrs. Yan personally picked up the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground. She didn't dare to say anything. She just glanced at Yan Siying who was crying and sobbing.
"I told you long ago that I didn't want to marry the eldest prince, but my father and mother refused. Now, the eldest prince has become a useless person with no future. Wouldn't it be a living hell for me if I follow him?"
Yan Siying cried, "I wanted to marry He Yanxiu before, but my father didn't allow me. Now it seems that he should have agreed to my request. The He family is now in the limelight. He Yanxiu will definitely be an important official in the court in the future. If I follow him, I will definitely be a first-rank imperial lady, and our Yan family will also be prosperous."
"I want to divorce His Majesty and marry He Yanxiu!"
Minister Yan was already upset, and when he heard Yan Siying mention those more upsetting things, he became even more anxious, "Shut up!"
Madam Yan hurriedly tugged at Yan Siying's sleeve, signaling her to shut up, and then said to Minister Yan, "Master, calm down. Siying is just upset."
"But now that the First Prince has lost power and the Third Prince has taken over, we are considered to be a member of the First Prince's party because of Siying's marriage. We may be excluded in the future. We still have to think of a solution."
"I know about this!" Minister Yan gritted his teeth.
But knowing is one thing, but now that the matter is done, how can it be easy to change it?
When Yan Siying married the eldest prince as a concubine, it was destined that they were firmly tied to the eldest prince! Seeing Minister Yan hesitate, Madam Yan also sighed, "If it were an ordinary family, we could still talk about divorce, but after all, this is a royal marriage, I'm afraid this path is not feasible."
Yan Siying sobbed and wiped her tears. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Mother, I have a way. It can not only save my daughter from suffering, but also help the Yan family get rid of its relationship with the eldest prince, and also let my father show his loyalty to the third prince!"
"What's the solution?" Minister Yan suddenly became alert. ——Su Shaoyuan and Lu arrived at the dock of the canal outside the capital.
Because someone had been sent to deliver the letter to the capital early, Su Yujin, Su Wenxuan and Su Yunruo were already waiting at the dock to greet them.
Su Shaoyuan and Lu walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the three people standing in a row at the table. A complicated feeling came over them.
But more of a relief.
"It's hot, and you came all the way here. Be careful of getting a heat stroke." After landing, Mrs. Lu held Su Yujin's hand and looked her up and down with a loving look on her face. "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've lost some weight. You need to eat more."
"I have been at home for the past few months and have learned many new dishes from the cook at home. They are all the flavors you like. I will cook them for you during this period of time."
"Okay—" Su Yujin responded with a long syllable.
However, since the weather started to get warmer this year, business has been going smoothly everywhere. Even the newly opened shops are managed by Wu Jiantong and several newly hired shopkeepers, so she doesn't have to worry about anything. She has become more relaxed and fatter. In addition, Zheng Mingyuan is now like a possessed person, constantly developing new dishes. Every time she tries a dish, she fills her stomach with delicious food, and she has really gained a lot of weight.
Even though Su Yujin had a small frame and was tall, and normally couldn't gain weight, she still gained weight visibly. Her originally pointed chin had now become rounded.
But Mrs. Lu actually said that she was getting thinner and thinner...
Sure enough, in the eyes of the elders, no matter how fat you are, you are still thin! Su Yujin hugged Lu's arm and talked sweetly, while Su Shaoyuan, Su Wenxuan and Su Yunruo ordered people to pack up the things they brought from home.
Food, medicine, cloth, porcelain...
There were even many large locked boxes filled with unknown items.
Because there were so many things, the carriages brought by Su Yujin and Su Wenxuan were not enough, so they had to hire a few more carriages from the dock to transport the things back.
When they arrived home, Su Yujin took Lu to see the yard and house prepared for her.
All necessary things were prepared quite properly.
"Yujin has grown up and can take care of household affairs." Mrs. Lu praised with a smile, and then let out a long sigh, "In my aunt's eyes, you are still a little girl. It's really a blink of an eye that you have grown up so much. I'm really a little uncomfortable."
She also wanted to stay with Su Yujin forever.
But right now, that is obviously impossible.
Su Yujin has grown up and has been assigned a marriage. She will definitely get married next year.
I really hope that by the time Su Yujin gets married next year, everything will be settled and they can organize the wedding for Su Yujin in an upright manner.
Seeing Mrs. Lu's eyes dimming as she spoke, and she looked a little absent-minded, Su Yujin guessed that she was probably missing her deceased parents and elder brother.
The deceased do need to be remembered and missed, but the living still need to look forward.
Especially because of the illness caused by worry, Lu's body is weaker than normal people and she needs to relieve her worries even more.
"Aunt, you just said that you learned a lot of new dishes. So what are we going to eat for lunch?" Su Yujin changed the subject.
"Let me think about it..." Lu said after a moment, "How about some sour soup noodles with ham, stewed winter melon with pickled mustard greens, and a bowl of braised pork with bamboo shoots and dried vegetables?"
"Okay." Su Yujin stood up and followed Mrs. Lu who was heading to the kitchen, "I'll help you, aunt."
…
In the evening, upon learning that Su Shaoyuan and Lu had arrived in the capital, He Yanxiu came to visit them.
On the second day, He Chengye and Lu came to visit.
When she came, she brought with her a lot of gifts, each of which was tied with bright red flowers, making it particularly bright and eye-catching.
"Lord Anmin and his wife just arrived in the capital yesterday. I shouldn't have disturbed them so early..."
