Ye Chi didn't have time to stop it, the little emperor had already picked up the wooden card and turned it over to take a look.

Although he has never been out of the palace, he often plays games with the eunuchs, and knows how to play this memory game, but the words engraved on it are obviously not what should be in the game.

This Kaoru Yudai...... Who is it?

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Princess Jinshu looked down at the contents of the wooden card, and then raised her eyes to look at Ye Chi.

The first time she saw the gentle young man in front of her was in the third year of the little emperor's accession to the throne. At that time, she heard that there was a young prime minister in the court, so she went to see it with those curious palace maids, but unfortunately she didn't see anyone.

There was a heavy snowfall in the capital that day, but it didn't last long. In the snowy scene sat a man in purple, a little indistinguishable among the blooming white plums, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, a clear smile, black hair and white snow, two fingers lightly touched the sunspot on the chessboard, as if time was stagnant, so that she thought for a moment that it was a painting, and he was an immortal who came out of the painting.

But...... What is this unidentified object that has fallen? It is still so carefully tucked away on its body.

It's not that Princess Jinshu doesn't know those rumors. Hundreds of officials privately said that Ye Chi had a family in Qinzhou, and it was said that he came from a businessman, and his background was not very noble. After all, even Ye Chi's most respected King Lian didn't know about it, she didn't believe it originally, but the existence of this famous brand obviously said something.

"Hui Majesty, that is a token of Weichen. Ye Chi took the wooden plaque from the little emperor, and smiled when he saw it, not noticing the subtle eyes of the two in the slightest.

This bright smile of spring made the little emperor even more terrifying.

He is eleven years old this year, and he knows a lot about men and women, and there are female officials who used to be Ye Chi's classmates, and he has heard of Ye Chi's glorious deeds of reciting "Mencius" on the street to scare people away when he was studying Taixue.

King Lian and the little emperor have been a little worried about Ye Chi's family for a long time, and they feel that it is impossible for a woman in the world to take the most critical step and disrupt all the messy life plans in his mind until he is eighty years old.

However, as it turned out, there were.

The little emperor held his chin deeply.

Linzhou...... Well.

Although Princess Jinshu is the aunt of the little emperor, she is the same age as Ye Chi, she is born with a beautiful appearance, a pair of apricot eyes looked at him lightly, and said softly: "This token...... Should it be a gift from a woman to Lord Ye?"

Ye Chi nodded and put the wooden card away. Because of the presence of Princess Jinshu and the fact that the little emperor had no intention of playing chess with him today, it was inconvenient for him to continue to stay, so he glanced at Su Yu quietly.

Su Yu immediately understood, and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, since the princess has been sent, Weichen will go back with Ye Xiang first, and the matter proposed by Lord Xu today also needs time to be carefully considered." ”

Indeed, although the person Xu Zhihuan wants to impeach will not cause a sensation in the government and the opposition, he is also one of the clans, and many people will be involved in the future. Although Wen Shilang is destined to be unable to keep it, how to deal with the people behind it, and whether to break the relationship between this matter and General Sun and others, is not negligent for a single step.

The little emperor naturally understood this truth, nodded and said, "Then it's hard Ye Xiang, and I will discuss this matter with the imperial uncle." ”

Princess Jinshu seemed to want to say something more, but seeing that Ye Chi was already far away, she had to remain silent. She thought about it for a while, but still felt a little annoyed, and gently lifted her skirt and walked two steps quickly, but the person she was expecting disappeared, and suddenly lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Ye Chi deliberately walked faster, he could naturally see what Princess Jinshu wanted to say to him, and he was worried that she would chase after him, so he kept going around the imperial garden.

Su Yu, who was beside him, knew his intentions, and also walked away, and suddenly said: "As soon as Jin Shu returned to Beijing, she said that she wanted to come to see you, and my aunt couldn't stop me at all." ”

Although Ye Chi remembers people, he will never forget what he has seen, and he even knows the names of the eunuchs around the little emperor, but his impression of Princess Jinshu only stays at the name and title, and the rest is hurriedly seen during the meeting, and he really can't think of any special friendship.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a while, Su Yu joked: "Actually, I think it's good for the girl to give you that thing, and no one will provoke you if you tie your head." ”

"That's what I thought, too. Ye Chi nodded sincerely, "But Changsu said that if I tied him up, he would die to show me." ”

Su Yu felt that he was hopeless.

Ye Chi didn't notice his expression and asked, "You've stayed in the capital for so long, aren't you going to look for the Amber girl?"

"Of course. Su Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But I'm not going to go anywhere else." ”

Ye Chi looked at him with some surprise.

Although he didn't ask too much about the Su family, he also knew that his fiancée had disappeared for many years and still had no whereabouts. Because this matter can be regarded as a matchmaking by King Lian, he used some contacts, but there was no news.

In the past, when this matter was mentioned, Su Yu often diverted the topic, but at the moment, it didn't seem so gloomy. Ye Chi couldn't help asking, "Is there any news?"

"Yes, some people said that they had seen her near the capital. As if there was finally a glimmer of hope after years of longing, Su Yu smiled lightly, "Although it is not reliable, it is worth a try." ”

Ye Chi looked at the other party's golden smile, and suddenly remembered Kaoru Yutai.

Parting with him is not something difficult to accept, but there is something negative and negative in the end. Lately, he has always thought of that crimson figure, and sometimes even thinks that a woman like Kaoru Yutai who is not good at words will be the deepest impression she has left on people.

…… I really want to go to Linzhou.

***

After the autumn, Xu Zhihuan exposed the meritorious service of the criminals, and Shun lì was promoted to the leader of the Yushitai. This incident did not surprise people, he had been in the Yushitai for so long, and his promotion had already been a foregone conclusion, but to be promoted so quickly, Ye Chi was indispensable for pushing in it.

Xu Zhihuan has always been a person with clear grievances, even if it was because of Ye Chi that he got the name "Erhuan", he still has to express something to thank, but unfortunately his father Xu Shangshu is neutral in the court, so he naturally doesn't want his son to be involved with King Lian, so he gently "hummed" Xu Zhihuan's idea of inviting Ye Chi to dinner.

Throughout the history of patriotism, the regents of all dynasties have not died well, Xu Zhihuan of course knew what his father meant, so he gave up and said it later. The little servant beside him saw that Gongzi had such a sad face, and happened to hear something from the little emperor, saying that Princess Jinshu returned to the eighth achievement of the dynasty for Ye Chi, and made her brother Huai Wang angry half to death.

Xiao Wu went to Qinzhou with Xu Zhihuan at the beginning, and knew that there was such a person as Tai Xun, so someone said a few "good words" in front of Princess Jinshu that day. There was nothing about this, but it was heard by a eunuch beside the little emperor, so it spread quickly.

Previously, all the officials said that Ye Chi was in trouble, but now they learned more exciting news, whether it was true or not, looking at Ye Chi's eyes became subtle.

Rumor says so.

Lord Ye is bullied by a certain girl every day, but he enjoys it very much.

In fact, there are not a few special habits among the hundred officials, and I understand it as soon as I hear it, and I think it's really unseemly, Qinzhou is really a good place, and I must go there next time.

Ye Chi, who was the party concerned, didn't know anything about this, but the little emperor was so anxious that he ran to ask King Lian what to do, but the other party waved his hand, and smiled that Ye Chi was not a person who cared about face, and it was not the first time that there were rumors in the palace.

The little emperor was still very worried, and when he played chess with Princess Jinshu, he also had a sad face, and sighed several times, "Auntie, is Ye Aiqing really already in trouble?"

The princess shook her head and smiled, she naturally believed that the young man who was as elegant as a fairy at the beginning, "What does Your Majesty think?"

"Of course I don't think he will. The little emperor finished speaking confidently, and his head hung down again, "What about my aunt?"

"My aunt also believes in Ye Xiang's personality. ”

The little emperor nodded profoundly, although he didn't believe in those gossips, but he thought there was one thing he had to do.

***

After the summer passed, Kaoru Tandai suddenly felt that the days were getting faster. She knew that this was just an illusion, maybe it was because she had adapted to life in Linzhou, or maybe it was because she would receive letters from Ye Chi on a regular basis.

It's a monotonous life, but it's also very reassuring.

The situation in Linzhou is indeed much better than that in Qinzhou, and there is no need for her to go out to mediate in person, but there is a lot more paperwork than before. She didn't move her muscles and bones for a long time, she took advantage of Xiu Mu to practice boxing, but she felt a little hungry, so she found a noodle restaurant with the best taste to eat noodles.

This noodle shop is not big, but it is famous in the area, and there is a long queue early in the morning. Kaoru Tandai was almost past the end of the hour, so there were a lot fewer people.

She picked a seat in the back and sat down, ordered a bowl of soba noodles, and thought that she could eat breakfast and lunch together, so she asked for an extra egg.

When she left Qinzhou, because there were not many things, she took two volumes of the things that Ye Chi handed over to her, and flipped through them when she had nothing to do. At this moment, while waiting for noodles and flipping through the book, she caught a glimpse of someone walking towards her, thinking it was the guy who delivered the noodles, and she didn't look up, but the person suddenly sat next to her, so she raised her head to look.

“…… Miss Le?" Kaoru Yutai called out in surprise, she didn't expect Le Tong to come to Linzhou, but it wasn't a strange thing to think about it, "Come to do business?"

Le Tong is still dressed in men's clothes, although he is thin, he looks more energetic than before, as if he is sick. She asked for a bowl of noodles with her partner, shook her head and said, "No, I'm just going to the capital, passing by here, remembering that you are here, let's come and take a look." ”

Kaoru Tandai nodded. She is not particularly familiar with Lejia, but she has not known many women since she was a child, and she has a lot of common topics with Letong. The other party's dress did not look like a businessman, which made her a little strange: "Do you know anyone in the capital?"

"The master who taught me medical skills is in the capital. Le Tong took out a pair of chopsticks and wiped it, as if it was a habit developed for many years, "I'm just going to see Master this time, by the way...... Hide from people. ”

She glanced out of the noodle shop with a little wariness, and the man brought over two bowls of noodles, and the two of them began to eat together.

Le Tong and Tai Xun roughly explained the current situation in Qinzhou, as well as the letter written by A Yao, which were basically trivial matters, and suddenly came to the end: "Listening to the gossip in the capital, you may be going to enter Beijing soon." ”

Kaoru Yutai's chopsticks stopped suddenly, not quite understanding what this sentence meant, but Le Hitomi also said that he didn't know. The reason why the grapevine is gossip is neither beginning nor end, and most of them are unreliable, but it won't be good to listen to.

The noodle shop is lively, but it reveals a little leisure, and the sense of leisure in this busy scene seems to be unique to Linzhou. Kaoru Yutai felt a little full halfway through eating, probably because he was busy lately and often forgot to eat, and his appetite became smaller.

She silently put down her chopsticks, looked at the master outside the hall and waved to her, and after paying the money, she said hello to Le Tong and walked over, only to know that it was a messenger from the capital and sent a letter, because she couldn't find her at home, so she went to the yamen first.

Ten days ago, I received Ye Chi's big story, how can I ...... Not again?

She went to the yamen with some suspicion, and the messenger gave her the letter before leaving with confidence, which seemed very mysterious.

The letter is thin.

Kaoru Tantai breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened the letter, and was suddenly stunned.

This payer really surprised her.
