My father originally wanted to intercede for General Huo Yucheng, so he offended Long Yan and was demoted to Wuzhou.
Murong Yang is Huo Yucheng's right-hand man. He has followed his subordinates since he was fifteen years old and was promoted by Huo Yucheng.
However, in the end, he temporarily rebelled and reported Huo Yucheng for lying about his military exploits and embezzling military pay. He also marched aggressively due to his own willfulness, which resulted in all 80,000 soldiers being trapped and killed by Xiliang at Tongtian Pass.
The young master Murong mentioned by Shaoyao should be Murong Yang's only son, Murong Ye.
It is rumored that he has been in love with Ye Shixian for a long time, but Princess Qinyang is interested in him, which makes the relationship between the three people very delicate.
No wonder Princess Qinyang disliked Ye Shixian so much.
When Huo Yucheng's whole family was executed, Murong Yang rose through the ranks and was now the commander of the capital, a serious second-rank official.
If Ye Shixian can really marry Murong Ye, it will be considered a high achievement.
But judging from her reaction, she seems to be avoiding suspicion...
Ye Shixian reorganized herself and made sure there was no problem before walking towards the door.
Soon a maid came to guide the way.
The eldest princess is the biological sister of the current Holy Emperor. She once accompanied the Holy Emperor to expand the territory, made great contributions, and has a transcendent status.
This mansion alone occupies an entire long street.
The gate is already grand enough, and when you go inside, the pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings are everywhere showing the royal nobility.
Even the clothes of the servants and maidservants are not inferior to those of many wealthy children outside.
The further Ye Shixian walked in, the more she was shocked by the magnificent scenery. She became more cautious in her words and deeds, taking every step cautiously.
Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, and accidentally tripped under his feet.
Ye Shixian frowned suddenly and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you so careless?"
Shaoyao realized that she had lost her composure and her face turned red: "Miss, Miss, I'm sorry——"
Ye Shixian wanted to say more, then she heard the maid leading the way smile and say: "Miss Ye, don't be harsh. This path is paved with rain flower stones. You have to be careful when walking and don't fall."
Ye Shixian quickly swallowed the words in her throat and forced a smile: "Thank you."
The maid's smile was full of smiles. There was no hint of displeasure or indifference on her face, but she secretly shook her head in her heart.
There are so many people who want to have a relationship with the eldest princess. All the people who are welcomed and sent to this house are distinguished guests. She is the personal maid beside the eldest princess. She has met many kinds of people, so she is not surprised by this. .
Ye Shixian has become quite famous in Beijing in recent years, but who would have thought... she was born in a small family, and her actions are not grand enough after all.
but……
The maid couldn't help but glance at Ye Chutang next to her.
I heard that this is Ye Shixian's cousin, the former beloved daughter of Lord Ye Zheng, who finally returned to Beijing after living abroad for three years.
I thought she would have a timid and shy temperament, but since she stepped into the house, this girl's words and deeds have been generous.
Even when Ye Shixian came to the eldest princess's mansion for the first time, she was full of nervousness, fearing that she had done something wrong, and was extremely reserved.
On the contrary, it was her, her eyebrows were relaxed, she was calm and composed, and she had a good demeanor.
The maid originally didn't take Ye Chutang seriously and just thought she was accompanying Ye Shixian to join in the fun, but now she looks at Ye Chutang with admiration.
Because they were delayed in front of the door for a while, when they arrived at the main hall, it was almost full.
There were about twenty or so wealthy ladies invited today. Most of them had known each other since childhood, and it was very lively to sit together and chat at this time.
"Miss Ye's family is here."
The maid's announcement immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned around to look.
Ye Shixian immediately straightened her back subconsciously, striving to maintain the most perfect posture.
Still she heard a few whispers.
"Is that Ye Shixian? The one who was so frightened by Princess Qinyang that she fell off the carriage just outside the eldest princess's mansion?"
"It's not her!"
"Don't they all talk about her pretty face? When I saw her today, it was nothing more than that, but the one next to her... is the daughter of which family?"
There is no secret to hide here. The news that Princess Qinyang targeted Ye Shixian and caused her to lose face outside the palace has long been spread in private, and has even become a hot topic among them.
When I saw Ye Shixian at this time, naturally most of them laughed.
Others were attracted by Ye Chutang.
That gentle and beautiful face is really impossible to ignore.
"I heard from Princess Qinyang that she is Ye Shixian's cousin and the second daughter of Lord Ye Zheng, Ye Chutang."
These noble ladies from aristocratic families are not indifferent to the outside world. On the contrary, because their fathers and brothers are serving in the court, and they are basically of high rank, they are quite aware of these things.
Ye Shixian pretended not to hear those words and took her seat.
Ye Chutang naturally sat down next to her, raised his eyelashes slightly, calmly took in everyone's reactions, and raised his eyebrows.
In today's Chaohua Banquet, Ye Shixian tried her best to make a splash, but unfortunately she was hit by the princess of Qinyang, and her start was unfavorable.
Even if you had planned to be friends with her before, you have to reconsider it now.
After all, no one is willing to offend Princess Qinyang for Ye Shixian.
Ye Shixian obviously realized this, she pursed her lips slightly and secretly tightened her handkerchief.
at this time--
"The eldest princess has arrived!"
Along with the sound, a woman in her sixties wearing a purple palace dress walked in.
She was holding a purple-gold dragon-headed staff, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a noble air all over her body.
Although his hair is gray, he is still energetic, and a bit of the heroic spirit of his youth can be seen between his eyebrows. You can tell at a glance that he has been on the battlefield, which makes people unconsciously awe him.
Everyone stood up together.
"I've met the eldest princess."
The eldest princess smiled and pressed her hands: "No need to be polite."
Princess Qinyang stepped forward quickly, came directly in front of her, and saluted: "Send greetings to the eldest princess on behalf of my father and mother!"
The eldest princess snorted: "Were you making trouble outside the door just now?"
Princess Qinyang blinked and acted coquettishly: "I wasn't careful, either -"
The eldest princess has a very close relationship with King Yannan and his wife. She has grown up watching Princess Qinyang and knows her temperament best. After hearing the report from her servants, she made a close guess.
"no next time."
The eldest princess said and looked at the other girls in the room.
"Is Miss Ye's family okay?"
Ye Shixian immediately took half a step forward, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you very much, eldest princess, for caring about me. The daughter of the common people is fine."
The eldest princess looked her over.
He does look good, but he is too timid to do anything.
Although Li Yue was willful and arrogant, he did things in a measured way. The horse was still some distance away from the carriage, but Ye Shixian was frightened and fell off the carriage. This...
She calmed down and ordered, "Zhu Xin, bring those pair of silver enamel hollow bracelets."
