Chapter 127
"The lineage of Prince Ran?" Chu Junlan didn't remember who Ye Yijian was talking about.
Ye Yijian smiled and said, "The Prince Ran should be the seventh uncle of the current generation. This general of the Fuguo State is the second son of the Prince Ran. However, I don't know what happened in their family. The General of the Fuguo State is not close to his elder brother."
Chu Junlan nodded and said, "I understand. Does the general you mentioned have a daughter named Xiao Rulan in your family?"
"It's her family," Ye Yijian said, "I heard that her family had just held a wedding, and I also heard some rumors that at a party a while ago, the prince congratulated her son-in-law Su Si, and he gave up all the son-in-law Su."
Chu Junlan said in surprise: "Did this news spread so quickly?"
Ye Yijian smiled and said, "My grandmother and I have heard about this from many people, so I must follow it."
Chu Junlan couldn't help but be amazed at the speed of the message spreading in this dynasty.
Ye Yijian lowered his eyes for a moment and asked tentatively: "I heard that I am sure that the prince of the king has recovered now, and he is both civil and military?"
Chu Junlan blinked his long eyelashes and said in surprise: "This is what is happening outside now?"
"Yes, some people say that they are very good at Prince Wang's martial arts, and even the royal guards can't walk three moves under her hands."
Chu Junlan was so funny that he couldn't help laughing: "It's really a rumor that is more powerful than a tiger. If the prince can really reach this level, I'm not a doctor, but a god."
Ye Yijian was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "It seems that the rumors are really casual enough."
"Yes." Chu Junlan couldn't help laughing.
Looking at Chu Junlan's eyebrows and eyes as he smiled, as bright as the sun, Ye Yijian couldn't help but move in his heart and said softly: "Actually, I know where the blood jade berry may appear, but I'm not sure."
"Where is it?" Chu Junlan sat upright.
Ye Yijian saw that she was so nervous, and he became more careful in his words: "I heard that the famous prostitute Lu Xiangxiang will choose a son-in-law in Shihua Pavilion in two days..."
As soon as he said something, he met Chu Junlan's curious eyes. Ye Yijian hurriedly explained: "This Lu Xiangxiang's piano and singing style are unique, and he can often get the news of Mrs. Hanmei. It is equivalent to Mrs. Hanmei's adopted daughter. She has been performing her skills for many years and has never been forced."
Chu Junlan recalled carefully and digged out who this Mrs. Hanmei was from the outstretched memory.
Mrs. Hanmei is the eighth sister of the empress dowager. She is the aunt of today. It is said that she was born with a natural beauty. When the late emperor was in power, she loved her very much. It was because the queen was not happy and blocked her, so she was unable to enter the palace to serve the throne. However, the late emperor still gave her a title, gave her a word in her name, named her "Hanmei", and raised her outside the palace.
In other words, Mrs. Hanmei was raised by the old emperor in the outer room outside the palace. Later, the old emperor passed away. The empress dowager also died a few years after the reign of Emperor Shang. Mrs. Hanmei had a good relationship with the nephew of Emperor Shang. Everyone knew that her status in the royal family was very transcendent.
"So that's it. It's really her luck that this famous prostitute, Miss Lu, was able to catch Mrs. Hanmei's eyes."
"Yes." Ye Yijian said, "It is precisely because of Mrs. Hanmei's relationship that she has the opportunity to choose a son-in-law in the Shihua Pavilion. Miss Lu's reputation is too loud and Mrs. Hanmei's face is there. I heard that the Shihua Pavilion has prepared a grand banquet, gathering many powerful people in the capital, and there will be a link to showcase rare treasures."
Ye Yijian paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "In the past, there were many banquets, and the host would take out the collection of famous calligraphy and paintings, carvings, or novel objects from overseas, displaying strange flowers and plants. The Chua Pavilion is now famous for serving flowers and plants. This time, the Chua Pavilion’s son-in-law selection conference may be exhibited overseas. The blood jade berry you mentioned is so precious, and it may be if it appears."
Chu Junlan nodded after hearing this, "This is possible."
Blood Jade Beans are imported products, but the plants grow beautifully and the flowers bloom very beautifully. It is unknown if someone will use it as a potted belt.
"After saying this, I should go and have a look. Of course, it's better if I can meet it. If I can't, I'll be considered to have attended a grand event," Chu Junlan said with great interest, "I haven't seen a famous prostitute like Miss Lu. Have you ever seen her? She must be a stunning beauty, right?"
Chu Junlan's eyes were full of curiosity, making her eyes brighter.
Ye Yijian's lips moved. He had seen people, but he didn't think that Lu Xiangxiang had the same celestial posture as described by outsiders, because the woman in front of him was the most eye-catching among the women he recognized.
But he couldn't say this.
After all, she had promised others that if it were in the past, he would have had a little hope. Now that the prince is gradually improving, he will not even have a hope.
Ye Yijian's heart was sore, but his smile was very gentle: "I have only seen it once from afar. If you want to go to the Shihua Pavilion, leave the invitation to me."
"Invitation? Not everyone can go to see this son-in-law selection conference?"
"Of course," Ye Yijian smiled, "The Shihua Pavilion is not a place that ordinary nobles can go to on weekdays. The requirements for entry are very strict. This time, I want to invite more powerful people to hold such a grand event. At this time, I will be more cautious about the participants."
Chu Junlan understood and smiled and said, "Then I rely on you."
Ye Yijian smiled and said, "I will order someone to tell you if I get the invitation."
"good."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, stood up and said goodbye: "Your body is much better now. Just continue to recuperate according to the method I said. It seems that there is no possibility of recurrence now, but you should pay more attention in the future. You should also find out who poisoned him. After all, you only have to be a thief every day, so where can you guard against thieves every day?"
Ye Yijian nodded and said seriously: "What you said is that my father has come back these days, and I can't take care of it for a while, but I will not relax in this matter."
Chu Junlan has never taken the initiative to ask about Ye Zhao. Now Ye Yijian mentioned it herself, and she asked casually: "How are you and your father now?"
"It's okay..." Ye Yijian said, and added with a sigh, "Actually, we are strangers to each other, both to him and me. When he disappeared, I was too young to remember him, and so was he. I didn't expect him to come back."
Chu Junlan wanted to ask what Ye Zhao was doing, and he was missing for so many years.
But when she said that, she still didn't ask, after all, this was someone else's privacy.
"After that it's your father, it's not great to have relatives here?" Chu Junlan comforted Ye Yijian for a few words before saying goodbye and leaving.
Ye Yijian sent Chu Junlan away, turned around and went to find the eldest princess.
"Grandma, can you get me a banquet invitation from Shihua Pavilion?"
