Hua Fushu said, "How do you know it's impossible if you don't try? If you want to see my senior brother, I can help you ask him out."
Lu Tianyun smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. I came here today to say goodbye to you. It will be difficult to see you in the future, unless your young general earns you an imperial decree. I can summon the imperial decree wife to the palace, so that we can meet."
Half an hour later, Lu Tianyun returned home, and Hua Fushu changed his route to go to Bao's house to see Jun'er.
At night, the bedroom in Guanju Pavilion was brightly lit with candles. Ye Zelin was reviewing his lessons, while Hua Fushu was practicing calligraphy beside him. It seemed as if the years were peaceful and tranquil.
Hua Fushu practiced small regular script, taking Ye Zelin's regular script as a model. After a few months, Hua Fushu's handwriting became much more beautiful, and his handwriting was somewhat like Ye Zelin's.
Hua Fushu wrote a stroke of the character "Lin" and then picked up her brush. "My handwriting is beautiful, isn't it?"
Ye Zelin looked at the paper filled with writing. His name was written on it in neat and straight strokes. At least in his opinion, Hua Fushu's handwriting was not really beautiful. However, he did not have the heart to undermine his wife's self-confidence, so he said, "Beautiful."
Hua Fushu said happily, "Really? Do you think I am beautiful, or my handwriting is beautiful?"
Ye Zelin raised his eyes from the pages of the book, "Your handwriting is not as beautiful as you are."
Hua Fushu knew that he was talking nonsense, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "Perfunctory."
Ye Zelin leaned over, leaned against Hua Fushu, and whispered in her ear, "You have long black hair, eyes as clear as water, eyebrows as white as white teeth, a charming smile, and skin as icy as ice. Tell me, my lady, which one of these isn't you?"
Hua Fushu's ears suddenly turned red. He hooked his arms around Ye Zelin's neck and smiled shamelessly, "Of course it's me."
Ye Zelin placed his hand on her waist and said, "I have a day off on Mid-Autumn Festival. Would you mind coming with me to the Grand Princess's residence?"
"Why do we want to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion?" Hua Fushu was not familiar with the Grand Princess at all.
Ye Zelin said, "The Grand Princess is depressed and worried, and I want to go visit her. You happen to know medicine, so why not give her a look?"
Hua Fushu let go of her hand and said, "Why did the Grand Princess become ill from worry?"
Ye Zelin sighed softly, "I heard it's a heart disease, but I'm not sure about the details."
Hua Fushu agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Hua Fushu thought of the selection and said, "Why didn't you tell me about the selection? Is our sister really going to marry His Majesty? His Majesty has so many wives. Marrying into the royal family and becoming an imperial concubine will enjoy wealth and glory, but the status of an imperial concubine is noble, but after all, she is still a concubine. What's the point of sharing the same husband with a bunch of women? Today this calculation, tomorrow that conspiracy...
Your sister is so spoiled and naive, how could she survive in the palace, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones? I hope that sister Ruhuan can choose a good husband and live a free life. With us, her brother and sister-in-law, protecting her, who would dare to bully her?
Ye Zelin said, "It's just a selection, and you don't necessarily get chosen. Even if you are selected, if His Majesty doesn't like you, the palace will expel you. I'm telling you that I don't think it's necessary. My father and mother don't worry about it, so you don't have to worry about it either."
The next day, Hua Fushu asked Sanqiao and finally found out the situation in the mansion.
There were two differing opinions within the palace regarding Ruhuan's selection. The old generals, led by Feiyuan, supported Ruhuan's participation. Given the Ye family's prestige, she was certain to be favored if selected. If she were fortunate enough to give birth to a prince, the family's status would soar, greatly benefiting the careers of their descendants. Meanwhile, General Ye, led by Rongliyuan, vehemently opposed Ruhuan's selection, sparking a furious argument with his father that nearly killed him.
Barely two days later, General Ye's expression suddenly changed. He packed his bags and personally sent his daughter to Feiyuan with his wife, Ouyang, to be raised by the old general. He did not mention the matter of the selection. The old general did not think too much about it, simply thinking that General Ye tacitly approved of his granddaughter's candidacy.
After hearing what Sanqiao said, Hua Fushu felt something was wrong. She knew how much Ye Shiheng and his wife loved their daughter, so how could they bear to send Ruhuan to run for election?
The Ye family does not value power, fame, or wealth. You can tell from the rules of the Ye family for marrying a daughter-in-law. Would such a family be willing to sacrifice their daughter in exchange for status and power?
None of this matters. What matters is that Ye Shiheng's attitude before and after has changed so much that it's hard for her not to guess what Ye Shiheng is up to.
For this reason, she specifically asked Ye Zelin, and Ye Zelin said, "It's just a trick. Grandfather won't get what he wants."
Hua Fushu said, "Father-in-law, what are you going to do?"
Ye Zelin kept it a secret, "You'll know then."
Hua Fushu lost interest and didn't ask any more questions.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here. It is also called the Moon Festival, Moon Goddess Festival, Reunion Festival, etc. It has the customs of worshiping the Moon Goddess, appreciating the moon, eating reunion cakes, watching lanterns, and appreciating osmanthus flowers.
After breakfast, Hua Ye and his wife went to the Grand Princess's residence to give her a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.
The eldest princess was really sick. Her eyes were dull, her eye sockets were sunken, her face was pale, and she had a severe cough.
Ye Zelin expressed his concern for the Grand Princess and explained his purpose.
The eldest princess glanced at Hua Fushu and waved her hand, saying, "No need. My body is fine on its own. I'll be fine after taking some medicine. Yushi, you've seen me. If everything is fine, you can go back."
He called out to Aunt Mili who was standing beside him, "Mili, please see Yu Shi and the other two off."
At this point, the Huaye couple had no choice but to leave.
When Aunt Mili walked her to the gate, Ye Zelin stopped and asked Aunt Mili, "Aunt, is the Grand Princess still looking for her close friend?"
Aunt Mili sighed, "Alas, the eldest princess was very close to Miss Manyin from the Gu family when she was young. More than fifty years have passed, and it's not easy to find her. Now the eldest princess's wish is to see Miss Gu again."
Ye Zelin said, "I've also sent people to look for him, but they haven't found him yet."
Hua Fushu interrupted, "Madam, is the young lady from the Gu family the Marquis of Changshun?"
Aunt Mirri nodded, "Exactly."
Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu, "You know?"
Hua Fushu said, "I've only heard of it."
Returning to the General's Mansion, Hua Fushu searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time before finally finding a purple jade bracelet. "That's it!"
Ye Zelin, who was not far away, looked over and said, "You don't wear the bracelet, why are you looking for it?"
Hua Fushu walked over and put the purple jade bracelet into the brocade box. "This bracelet was given to my mother by my grandmother, and my mother gave it to me as a dowry. The other one should be in the hands of the Grand Princess. I'll have Xiao Dezi deliver it to the Grand Princess's residence later."
Ye Zelin was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, "The Changshunhou Gu family is my mother-in-law's maternal family? Is your grandmother still alive?"
Hua Fushu said, "I have never seen my grandmother, and neither has my brother."
Did she mean that her grandmother was no longer around?
