Not marrying into the royal family or powerful families, and not being too closely involved with powerful groups, is the Ye family's way of protecting themselves. It is also an ancestral precept that every member of the Ye family must keep in mind and cannot violate. This is the real reason why the Ye family does not care about family background when marrying a woman.
Not marrying into the royal family or powerful families is not only a rule that the men of the Ye family must abide by, but also a rule that the daughters of the Ye family cannot violate. Therefore, Ye Shiheng would not even consider marrying into the Qinghe Palace.
Madam Ouyang's words were inappropriate, so Ye Shiheng corrected her, "Yue'er, I married you not because of the rules of the Ye family, but because I have you in my heart, just as my father will never forget my mother, and Yun Lu is in love with Lan Xi."
Madam Ouyang blushed and pinched Ye Shiheng's waist, "I know, I know."
The next day, Mrs. Ouyang went to the painting building to look for her daughter.
Ruhuan was wearing a light yellow skirt today, with a light veil in her hand, her hair tied up in a bun, and pearl flowers on her temples. She looked beautiful, like a fairy from heaven. Such a beautiful girl, what handsome boy could be a match for her?
Ruhuan bowed to Madam Ouyang and took her mother's arm. "Why are you here, mother?"
Madam Ouyang said, "I came to see you. In the blink of an eye, you are already fifteen years old. You have grown up, and your mother has also grown old."
Ruhuan smiled and said, "Mother, we're not old at all. If I were to go out with you, everyone would think we were sisters."
Madam Ouyang said without further ado, "Huan'er, you're fifteen now. It's almost time for you to get married. Do you have any ideas?"
Ruhuan's fair and tender face flushed, like a shy lotus in the water. "Mother, I'm still young. There's no rush for marriage. I want to stay with you and daddy for a few more years."
Madam Ouyang said, "If your father and mother told you about a royal family, would you be willing?"
Ruhuan shook her head: "The walls of the royal palace are high and the waters are deep. My daughter doesn't want it."
Madam Ouyang was very satisfied with Ruhuan's answer. The threshold to the royal palace was too high, the water was too deep, and the human relationships were too complicated. It was not suitable for a simple-minded and somewhat spoiled child like Ruhuan.
After talking with her daughter for a while, Mrs. Ouyang went back to Rongliyuan and told Ye Shiheng what her daughter meant.
Ye Shiheng was also very satisfied with Ruhuan's words. He said, "She is worthy of being my daughter, Ye Shiheng. She is worthy of being the best man in the world. The prince is not a good choice."
As a result, Prince Qinghe was completely removed from Ye Shiheng's list of potential sons-in-law.
That afternoon, he wrote a letter, tactfully stating that Ruhuan had no interest in the Prince of Qinghe, and asked Wujing to deliver the letter to Sheng Guangzhi's residence. Coincidentally, Minister Du was also having tea at Sheng's house, and he also saw Ye Shiheng's letter.
Minister Du said, "I have completely given up hope this time. I don't think the prince will come to me to plead his case again."
Sheng Guangzhi also said: "I won't come to see me either. One less thing to do, one more cup of tea to drink."
Minister Du had already informed Prince Qinghe of Ye Shiheng's intentions, so the letter was not delivered to Prince Qinghe's mansion. Instead, it was casually placed in the tea stove and burned, so as not to hurt the feelings of Prince Qinghe and the Crown Prince and cause embarrassment when they met in the future.
The setting sun shines on the surface of the Grand Canal, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.
Hua Fushu stood on the deck, wearing an orange dress. The light of the setting sun shone on her body, making it softer. Her pretty face looked even more beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.
She gazed at the river, admiring the scenery at the moment. When she turned her head, she found that the person next to her was the real beauty. The man on the road was as beautiful as jade, and the young man was unparalleled in the world. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not compare to him, at least in her opinion.
"What are you looking at?" the young man beside him suddenly asked.
Hua Fushu was already mesmerized by her beauty, "Look at you."
Ye Zelin's face flushed slightly, but it wasn't obvious under the afterglow of the setting sun. "What's so good about me?"
After saying this, Ye Zelin suddenly felt a little regretful. With Hua Fushu's personality, she would definitely climb up if he gave her the pole.
As expected, she really climbed up and said, "In my heart, you are the most beautiful. Even Wei Jie can't compare to you."
Ye Zelin's ears also turned red. Fortunately, Hua Fushu's eyes were diverted, otherwise she would have seen his embarrassment. He didn't like Hua Fushu's explicit words. Whenever she said sweet words, he was always afraid that she would reveal her feelings.
He quickly changed the subject, "Fushu, you said your uncle fell off a cliff and died, and his body has not been found. Are you sure he is dead? Maybe he is still alive."
A trace of sadness welled up in Hua Fushu's eyes. Her uncle had always been a heartache for her. She shook her head and said, "There's no way my uncle is alive. I've been in Beiling for more than half a year. I've been to the place where my uncle fell off the cliff. The cliff is very high, and there's a river below. The chances of someone surviving after falling off are slim. Even if my uncle didn't die when he fell off the cliff, he wouldn't have been able to get out alive. There's a deep forest downstream of the river, where there are many ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, snakes and ants. I also once suspected that since General Tang Huanli didn't find my uncle's body, maybe my uncle wasn't dead yet. In fact, my thoughts were naive. When I stepped into that forest, I understood that there was no chance of my uncle surviving. You don't know, not long after I entered that forest, I was unfortunately bitten by a venomous snake. If I didn't know a little bit of the antidote, I would have died there."
Seeing that she was feeling a little down, Ye Zelin wanted to tell her that Hua Mingqiao was still alive, but then he changed his mind and thought that Hua Mingqiao didn't want to recognize her because he didn't want to implicate her. Besides, Hua Mingqiao had his own plans. Since he was alive, he would recognize her sooner or later. He thought that Hua Mingqiao would want to tell her in person that he was still alive, so he gave up the idea.
Ye Zelin comforted her with a few words: "Fushu, I heard that after people die, they will become stars in the sky. My uncle will also become a star. Even if he is not by your side, he will definitely be watching you and accompanying you in the sky."
Hua Fushu felt a little warm in his heart, "I know that my uncle will always live in my heart."
Seeing the depression and sadness on her face fade away, Ye Zelin smiled slightly.
"Fushu, you just mentioned Tang Huanli, do you know him?" Ye Zelin asked casually, but he was a little cautious in his heart.
When Hua Fushu mentioned Tang Huanli, Ye Zelin remembered that Tang Huanli was a general in the Lingbei Army and had a high status in the Beiling Army. He had been a general under the rebel general Huo Qing. Later, King Qinghe took control of the Beiling Army, and Tang Huanli served under King Qinghe.
That year, he went on an expedition to Northern Liao and met Tang Huanli several times in Beiling. This man was quite talented. If Prince Qinghe was the top leader of Beiling, then he was the second in command.
"I know." Hua Fushu said lightly.
Hearing Hua Fushu's answer, Ye Zelin suddenly tensed up, "Do you know him?"
"I know him." Hua Fushu felt that Ye Zelin was a little strange. Was there anything wrong with her knowing Tang Huanli?
