Chapter 318: The Green Tea Bitch and the Powerful Regent (18)
Yun Chenxi roared and rushed over. The two palace servants looked at each other and silently retreated to the back.
He quickly stepped forward and untied the sack. When he saw Yuan'er's pale face, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was unbearable.
His eyes were filled with pain and self-blame, and tears blurred his eyes.
He gently stroked Yuan'er's face, feeling the coolness. The fifteen-year-old emperor picked up the girl and left without saying a word.
Yun Chenxi carried the girl back to the Yangxin Palace and shouted, "Quick, go get the imperial physician."
The young eunuch ran very fast, and soon the imperial physician came running over with a medicine box.
The doctor put his hand on the girl's pulse, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He looked at the bloody back of the girl on the bed and shook his head, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The girl was seriously injured and has passed away."
Yun Chenxi felt dazed for a moment, looking at the girl on the bed who had been tidied but still looked pale, he smiled miserably.
Holding the girl's hand, "Yuan'er, I am sorry for you..."
The young emperor sat there all night looking at the corpse on the bed, and everyone in the Yangxin Palace was trembling with fear.
The next morning, the emperor issued an imperial decree, conferring the title of Huipin on Li Yuaner and burying her in the imperial mausoleum according to her rank.
When Empress Dowager Hu found out, she gritted her teeth and said, "How could he make that lowly maid a concubine and bury her in the imperial mausoleum?"
Nanny Li quickly advised, "Madam, His Majesty has grown up. If you do this, it will really make His Majesty alienate you."
Empress Dowager Hu slammed the table and said, "He is my son, he is my flesh and blood, he must listen to me."
Yun Jingxing also heard the news, but he could not interfere in the affairs of the harem, so it was up to his nephew to establish himself.
.......
On the other hand, Yan Bangze was surprised and delighted to learn that he had been promoted to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "Father, is it true that my son actually jumped three levels?"
He couldn't believe the news.
Yan Jin nodded, “Yeah, even I was shocked.
Originally, I just wanted to ask your mother's family to mention it briefly, mainly to clear your name, but I didn't expect that..."
Yan Bangze frowned and asked in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case. Among all the nominees, there are many who have more experience and background than me. How come it's my turn?"
Yan Jin waved his hand and sent away the servants, then lowered his voice and said to his son, "I suspect the regent added you in."
Yan Bangze's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Ah, why? We don't have much friendship?"
Yan Jin knocked on his son's head and scolded, "You are such a blockhead!"
Yan Bangze trembled all over. Could it be... could it be because of his second sister?
Yan Jin nodded, "Madame Liu's father and eldest brother were also promoted this time, so I was suspicious."
Yan Bangze thought about it. Aunt Liu's father was only a minor official of the sixth rank. After his daughter married her father, he only managed to get a sinecure of the fourth rank in the past ten years.
As for her older brother, he was theoretically her cousin, but he was only a few years older than her.
That person has no talent, he seems to be a sixth-rank official.
Yan Zebang asked suspiciously, "What rank did they advance to?"
Yan Jin glanced at his son and said calmly, "Madam Liu's father is the Minister of Rites, and her eldest brother is the prefect of Huzhou. What do you think this means?"
After hearing this, Yan Bangze took a breath of cold air. He quickly sat down, drank a cup of tea, and calmed himself down.
He thought about it and realized that this was definitely not right. He suddenly stood up and said, "Father, you can't sell my second sister."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin patted his son on the head again, "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"
Yan Bangze rubbed his head and said, "Dad, I'm already so old, and you still beat me."
"No matter how old you are, I am still your father. You should keep this to yourself and no one should let it out. If the Regent has no such intention, we will just pretend we don't know."
"Dad, if the regent has that intention, what position will he give to my second sister?"
Hearing his son say this, Yan Jin sighed, "Given our family's status, I think she will be a concubine at best."
Yan Bangze also sighed after hearing this, and his eyes lit up after thinking about it, "Dad, if you can enter the cabinet, then my second sister may become the queen."
Yan Jin looked at his silly son and said, "What are you dreaming about?"
Yan Zebang muttered, "That's not necessarily true."
Yan Jin said again, "I plan to promote Aunt Liu to be my second wife. Your mother shouldn't object."
Yan Zebang nodded, "That's right."
When Mrs. Yan learned that her cousin was going to be promoted to a co-wife, she couldn't help but feel a little upset, but in the end she nodded silently in agreement.
If the second girl could really receive such an honor, it would undoubtedly be a great blessing for her two sons and the family.
Not to mention the status of a co-wife, she would be willing to give up her position as wife.
And she knew very well that her cousin was gentle and non-aggressive.
Since Liu Shiyuan needed to go to Huzhou to take over his position within a month, the Yan family decided to arrange the banquet for his wife seven days later.
Although time was tight, there were many people in the mansion and the preparatory work was not greatly affected.
At the banquet that day, countless people came to congratulate him. Those who were sensitive and aware of the fact that this was not an ordinary event, came to congratulate him.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who know the reason and send generous gifts.
For the first time, Liu Huilan wore bright red clothes and accompanied Yan Jin to entertain the guests.
Her face was filled with a happy smile, and she stood side by side with Yan Jin, like a perfect couple made in heaven.
Even though she was a concubine in the past, she was often with her cousin, so she was quite familiar with the comings and goings between big families.
Everyone praised the two as a match made in heaven and their blessings were endless.
Although Mrs. Yan felt a little jealous, for the future of her family, it was nothing.
Today, Yan Xue is also a legitimate daughter. Although those noble ladies looked down on her in the past, they can only hold their noses and congratulate her now.
It was also the first time that Yan Xue saw her eldest sister, Lady Yan Meng, the wife of the Earl of Yongning. She looked very much like her mother, dignified and elegant.
Yan Xue was not very familiar with her. After all, she was already married when she was born. After that, she only came back during the holidays every year and seldom visited her at other times.
After a polite greeting, nothing else was said.
No one came to trouble her today, so she felt relaxed and happy.
At this moment, the doorman suddenly ran over, looking anxious and panting, shouting: "Master, Master, hurry up..."
Yan Jin frowned slightly, looking at the many guests around him, his face darkened, and he scolded in a low voice: "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? How disgraceful!"
The doorman lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Sir, His Royal Highness the Regent is here, at the door."
