It was pitch black in the night, Ye Chi could only barely see the figure, and felt a small body with its arms around him, and the terrible thing was that the strength was amazing.

He leaned against the cold wall, and for a moment he didn't react to what was going on, thinking that he had been robbed, but when he felt the familiar aura, his face turned red for a moment.

"Whew!"

didn't have time to think about whether he had drunk too much and hallucinated, Ye Chi reached out and gently hugged the other party in his arms, sniffed involuntarily, and called in a low voice: "Kaoru?"

The other party did not answer, and pressed his head down, strong and domineering.

"I can't see it, but I know it's you. His voice was gentle and warm, and it was not an illusion to touch it so clearly, "When did it come?"

Kaoru Tai was still silent, and he was bored for a while before he said, "Just now." ”

She actually arrived this afternoon, but there were many things to take care of all the way, so she didn't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion until the evening, but Ye Chi was not at home.

The porter told her that Ye Chi and Changsu went to the eldest princess of Yasuhara, and she was inconvenient to disturb, so she went out for a walk, but she still came here by surprise, and happened to see Ye Chi standing in the moonlight, because the light was dim, she didn't notice her at all.

Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Chi smiled unconsciously, patted her head, and put his other hand around Kaoru Yutai's waist and pressed it gently, "Have you lost a little weight?"

Kaoru Tantai reflexively wanted to dodge, but he still held back and buried his head in his arms, "I'm in a hurry, so I don't have time to eat." ”

The tone of her reply was always serious, unchanged from before, but it was this voice that made Ye Chi so relieved.

It was dark and I couldn't see anything, but I could hear her talking in my ear more than anything else.

He didn't ask her why she suddenly came to the capital, but just squeezed her hand. At this time, Chang Su and Su Yu walked over with the carriage, and when they saw the two of them, they covered their mouths in surprise and hid to the side.

"Come out, I know you're here. ”

Ye Chi's cold voice made the two of them have to walk out obediently, and Chang Su couldn't help but ask: "Lord Tantai, before you come to the capital...... Why don't you send a letter?"

Kaoru Yutai has hardly changed, her beautiful and delicate little face is like a shimizu hibiscus, but she seems to have grown taller. Unlike the bright red power suit she usually wears, she is wearing a beautiful skirt at the moment, which looks soft and moving under the moonlight, but because of her perennial martial arts, the heroism between her eyebrows is natural.

At this time, Ye Chi couldn't see such a picture, which was a pity.

Kaoru Yutai said unfazedly: "Because I am also in a hurry." She looked at Ye Chi, "But you can take it as a surprise." ”

If these words come from the mouth of an ordinary daughter's family, they must be children's love, but from her point of view, it is a little laughable.

Ye Chi smiled gently, this was said by his Ah Xun, it doesn't matter if it is enough for children and daughters.

Kaoru saw that he had been smirking, probably because he had drunk too much, so he urged him to get into the carriage, and at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was Princess Jinshu and the maid who had just gone to sober up.

When the princess came back, she didn't see Ye Chi, so she wanted to come to see him off, but she saw this slim strange girl at a glance, and Ye Chi boarded the carriage with a short body, and the smile on her handsome face was about to overflow.

Princess Jinshu looked at Kaoru Tai lightly and glanced at her.

No matter how stupid the atmosphere is, people should see that it is embarrassing, Su Yu hurriedly said: "Jin Shu, Changsu will take care of Ye Chi, let's go back first." ”

Princess Jinshu nodded, turned around and went back without asking anything.

Although Kaoru Tantai didn't know exactly the identity of the woman in front of her, she could guess a rough idea from her outfit and temperament, and her gaze became a little subtle.

Beijing...... It's really not simple.

***

Kaoru Tai was indeed in a hurry to enter Beijing this time.

Most of the evidence of Wei Hu's corruption case has been destroyed, but because there are too many people involved, he accidentally left a few living mouths in Linzhou, in addition to the previous governor of Linzhou, there is also a master of the Yamen.

When the master found out that she was suspicious, it was when the news came out from the capital, and he didn't want to go home to wash his neck, so he wanted to re-enact the scene of Duan Yan's murder and put all the responsibility on Kaoru Tai.

There was no suspense about what happened later, she solved the killer sent by her master, and also obtained the evidence of the previous state minister, so on the one hand, she wrote a letter to Ding Wentong in Qinzhou, and on the other hand, she reported to Yushitai.

The state pastor was already as timid as a mouse, and immediately wrote a letter to impeach himself, and the officials quickly summoned Kaoru Tai to Beijing.

The assessment of the state pastor is often once every three years, but this time the corrupt officials were caught partly due to her, plus Xu Zhihuan explained the matter to Emperor Ming, and then there was this exceptional promotion;

Kaoru Yutai washed up after waking up in the morning, and wanted to change back into his original outfit, but he thought about it and dressed more plainly, and then went downstairs.

Yesterday, Ye Chi wanted to take her back with her, but she had already found a place to live, so she refused.

She stretched out when she went out, and went down to the lobby just in time to see Ye Chi waiting for her outside with a box of things.

This picture was very ordinary in Qinzhou, but now in the capital, there is an indescribable joy in it. Ye Chi has not changed much from her, he is still the handsome and gentle young man, with clear eyebrows, his body is like a jade tree, and his eyes are crooked when he laughs, which makes her smile unconsciously.

"Kaoru, your favorite snack. ”

Yutai Kaoru nodded, took the things, and after walking two steps, he found that he was still smiling, and said back: "I am no longer the governor of Linzhou, I should not leave when I come, so you don't have to look like I am leaving tomorrow." ”

They haven't seen each other for half a year, and it is certainly joyful to be reunited, but they express their joy in different ways. She had never been a warm person, so she didn't know how to express anything other than hugs.

For her, seeing this man safe and seeing him blush was the most tangible thing in the world.

Ye Chi smiled slightly embarrassedly, this reunion was indeed too bland for him, he had thought about using a sedan chair to pick up Kaoru Tai from Linzhou, at least he should pick it up in person, but he didn't expect her to come to the capital alone on a horse.

When he thought of this, he was a little unhappy, and said lightly: "I'll send you there." ”

Kaoru looked at him for a while, thinking that Fang Cai's words were too lukewarm, so he reached out and hugged him despite the fact that the two of them were still standing outside, and sure enough, he saw that he blushed, so he nodded with satisfaction.

This time it was not the decision of the officials to summon her to Beijing, but the will of Emperor Ming himself, who threw her directly to the imperial history platform and sealed a six-grade imperial history. The grade of the state pastor is generally based on the local situation, such as Fengzhou is the fifth grade, Linzhou is the sixth grade, although there is no change in the grade, but directly obey the emperor's orders, and the authority has been greatly improved.

Something happened to the Criminal Department, and a cadre was pulled off the horse, and the petty officials below were also sincerely afraid, so the Ministry of Officials was busy, and the few who were originally pending were also promoted.

She has been chasing Ye Chi's footsteps, even if it is just a little, even if it can never be reached, at least she is approaching him step by step.

"I thought it would be a long time before I saw you. Ye Chi couldn't help but smile, as if relieved, "Ah Yao, are they okay?"

Looking at his appearance, he obviously knew what was going on, and Kaoru Yutai didn't mean to hide it, "I didn't have time to go back to see it, but they wrote very well, and after next summer, Ah Yao's elementary school class will be over." ”

Hearing this answer, Ye Chi really realized the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, Ah Yao will be twelve years old, and Emperor Ming, who is the same age as him, is slowly growing up;

Kaoru turned his head to look at him, the market was bustling, and the crowds were endless, but they were the only ones who stopped and stayed. She suddenly pulled up his sleeve and said, "Let's go have breakfast first." ”

Ye Chi nodded, seeing that it was still early, so he took her to a pancake shop in the city, and said with a smile: "The pancakes here are very famous, and I often came to eat them when I was a child. ”

Kaoru Yutai paused with her hand holding the teacup, recalled what Le Tong had said to her before, and silently responded.

At this time, the guy ran over to serve tea, stared at Ye Chi for a while, and suddenly smiled in surprise: "Lord Ye, you really haven't been here for a long time!"

Usually people who have spoken to Ye Chi remember it, and naturally he also knows that this guy's name is Ah Huang, who has been in the pancake shop since he was a child, and he is a self-cook. Ye Chi smiled: "How are you doing lately?"

"I just married my daughter-in-law last month...... "The guy was halfway through his speech, and looked at Kaoru Yutai, "I didn't expect Lord Ye to get married, Mr. Ye used to complain that you weren't married, so now you can stop him!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he asked him to pour water at the next table, and then turned away with a smile. This sentence undoubtedly attracted the attention of Kaoru Yutai, and he asked suspiciously, "Who is Mr. Ye?"

Ye Chi smiled calmly: "My father." ”

“…… Huh?" Kaoru was stunned for a moment. Although no one explicitly told her that Ye Chi was an orphan, since she had never heard anything about his family, she naturally thought that Ye Chi's parents had died, "You...... Daddy?"

"yes, I'll take you to see him when I have time. Ye Chi looked a little embarrassed after speaking, "But his temper is too bad, you may not be able to accept it." ”

Kaoru Tandai was still immersed in surprise, and only nodded "oh" in a daze.

She had been speculating since the end of the meal, and she didn't even realize that she had eaten the pancakes unconsciously, until Ye Chi reminded her that she was about to be late, so she hurriedly rushed to the Yushitai.

Yushitai is a relatively clean place, there are so many people back and forth, after all, not everyone is suitable for this place, one is shameless, and the other is not afraid of death, and only Xu Zhihuan may be worthy of the name in the Manchu Dynasty.

When Kaoru Tai arrived, he didn't see any other colleagues, but saw Xu Zhihuan sitting alone in the pen, raised his eyebrows and said, "You were late for the first day." ”

She had also dealt with this strange-tempered person before, and replied solemnly: "My official uniform has not yet been produced, and today is only a report." ”

Xu Zhihuan stopped the pen in his hand and looked at her again.

In fact, he had made a wish before, that is, he wanted a young girl to be a subordinate, after all, he was really tired of facing such a group of men every day, but he really didn't expect this girl to come, but it was the ferocious Kaoru who made him a little scared.

He felt that when he made a wish in the future, he must make clear the additional conditions to God.

"I'm sorry for being late. ”

"No need. Xu Zhihuan was silent for a while, "I have received the edict, and you can officially come tomorrow." ”

Kaoru Yutai smiled shallowly: "Okay, thank you, sir." ”

Xu Zhihuan moved his shoulders uncomfortably and waved his hand to signal her to go.

After taking a photo before, Kaoru Yutai also heard Ye Chi mention this person, although it was a little strange, but it was said to be a rare good official, so after she said goodbye politely, she familiarized herself with the environment in Yushitai before leaving.

Ye Chi happened to have a lunch break here, because the end of the year was really busy, the little emperor occasionally didn't even have time to go to court, and he plunged into the imperial study.

The little emperor sat on the edge of the leaf pool, he had already heard that the legendary Linzhou governor had arrived in the capital, but he had never had time to meet him, and he was embarrassed to mention it to King Lian, for fear that the other party would say that he was too playful.

Today he got up very early, and before noon he had finished most of the recitals he was about to see. Ye Chi drank a glass of water, seemed to be a little tired, and stretched his arms: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to go out for a walk first." ”

The little emperor naturally allowed it, but he felt that it was not easy for him to go out for a walk at this point, maybe he was going to see the girl who was rumored to be riding on him, so he tiptoed out with Ye Chi.

Ye Chi really came out for a walk, because he was so tired that he didn't notice that the little emperor was following. Emperor Ming felt that his tracking methods were really clever, but on the way, he met Princess Jinshu from the imperial garden, and hurriedly dragged her to the shelter.

Princess Jinshu was taken aback by him, but she also knew that this emperor's nephew was still dignified and generous, and said, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Shhh-" The little emperor stretched out his finger to his lips and pointed in the direction of Ye Chi, "Ye Xiang doesn't know who he is going to meet." ”

Princess Jinshu's eyes sank for a moment, in fact, they were hiding behind the rockery and it was really not clever, but the amazing thing was that Ye Chi never noticed that he saw a strange girl walking across the street, which was the same one he had seen that night.

Kaoru Tai originally didn't want to come to Ye Chi, but Xu Zhihuan ran over to her and handed her a letter before she left, asking her to bring it to Ye Chi. She didn't know her life well and shouldn't run around, but she didn't expect the two of them to go out and in, but they really met on the road.

Ye Chi was surprised when he bumped into her, although he didn't care much about his face, but he cared about Kaoru Tai's face, and he always felt that it was not good for her to suddenly run over and hug him in broad daylight, and he took a step back.

"Kaoru, it's broad daylight......"

Kaoru Tantai glanced at him quietly, not understanding what he was thinking, and silently handed over the letter in his hand.

Oooh...... Did you come here to send love poems?

Ye Chi hesitated even more, still standing still, which finally made Kaoru Yutai a little impatient.

"Come here!"

She said this quite loudly, although there was no one on the road, but the little emperor and Princess Jinshu who were hiding behind obviously heard it. Although Emperor Ming was far away, he really felt this domineering spirit, so he was very melancholy, feeling that this girl was expected to develop into the second eldest princess of Anyuan.

Princess Jinshu didn't want to continue looking, and was about to get up and walk away, but she saw Ye Chi over there suddenly as if she had an order, and immediately obediently walked towards Kaoru Yutai, but because she was in too much hurry and didn't look at the ground, she accidentally tripped over a stone.

He suddenly went straight down.

The princess's body shook a little.
