There was silence in the public hall for a while, as if it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and no one dared to squeak.

They did know that Ye Chi was from the capital, but because the other party didn't talk much about the past, they thought that he was just a petty official with sesame mung beans and couldn't get on the stage.

Look at Chu He's reaction...... Could it be that their state pastor was really the prime minister of the dynasty?!

It's like a dream.

"Lord Chu doesn't have to be polite, now the lower official is just the state pastor of Qinzhou, and I hope you will take care of it. Ye Chi stretched out his hand to help Chu He up, looking gentle and elegant.

Chu He was already flustered, and when he heard the self-proclaimed word "Xiaguan", he suddenly became even more frightened, and completely reined in his original arrogance, stood up tremblingly, and was helped to the chair by Ye Chi, and it took a long time to relieve.

Seeing this, Kaoru poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, but his eyes were still locked on Ye Chi's body, not as panicked as the catchers, but he frowned.

Ye Chi had said that he had been an auxiliary minister by His Majesty's side, and she privately thought that he was just an auxiliary official of the East Palace, and now that she thought about it, this was really a humble statement.

"Leaf ...... Lord Ye knows the old man?" Chu He asked sneeringly.

"No, it's just that I've seen the name of the adult on the official's roster before. ”

Chu He was a little scared and a little flattered.

Thinking that he is a petty official of the ministry, he is almost a translucent storage in the capital, and it is only when he arrives in places like Qinzhou that he does not seem so low-grade. Ye Chi has always been known for his memorability in Beijing, and he can remember him...... It's not a strange thing.

Still a little excited.

Yutai Kaoru saw it in his eyes and knew that Chu He would not be better today, so he ordered someone to take him to the official post. Chu He was still a little reluctant when she left, and she looked like she wanted to hug her thighs, which made her even more puzzled.

"You...... Hasn't he been demoted?" she stared at Ye Chi intently, always feeling that this person had more secrets hidden than she imagined, "It stands to reason that Lord Chu's official position is higher than yours, so it shouldn't be such a reaction." ”

Ye Chi smiled at her.

Kaoru said coldly: "Don't giggle. ”

Looking at her serious appearance, he also knew that he couldn't solve it by smirking anymore, so he spread his hands and said: "The situation in Beijing is complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while." ”

Kaoru Yutai nodded, as if agreeing with this answer, but still walked towards him step by step. She noticed that every time she approached him, he blushed, and after blushing, he began to tell some truths, which was a heavy discovery.

So she tried again and again.

Realizing what she wanted to do in an instant, Ye Chi pretended to pack up her things, walked to the desk and separated her from the table, but Wen Tai Kaoru said, "Don't run, I want to ask you." ”

As she spoke, she put her fists together, and the sound of the joints reminded him of the day he first met, and he subconsciously really didn't move, because Kaoru Tandai's eyes clearly said, "I don't know what will happen if I move again." ”

After so many days together, he knew that she did it.

…… She does everything.

Ye Chi sighed silently, thinking about life and death, the eldest husband was going to die frankly, so he simply sat down and smiled, "What do you want to ask me?"

No matter what she did, he just laughed it off, and although he often spoke sharply, he rarely got really angry. Kaoru Tai calmed down and asked, "The position of the prime minister is not something that can be moved lightly;

Ye Chi was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "Previously, I advocated building water conservancy in the area of Luzhou, but I didn't take into account the local situation and suffered heavy losses, so I was relegated here." ”

His expression was unusually calm, which made Kaoru Tandai even doubt the truth of this sentence. The so-called higher you stand, the more it hurts to fall, since he was the most powerful person by the emperor's side except for the regent, even if he stayed in Beijing, it was a huge gap, let alone falling into such a frightening place as Qinzhou.

She came to her senses and didn't speak again, but went to Chu He and asked again, and the answer she got was about the same.

"That is, at the end of last autumn, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent obeyed Lord Ye Xiang's construction and built water conservancy in the area of Takizhou. However, this project seems to be short of catties and two, and there was an accident before it was repaired, but fortunately, the scale was not large, and not many people died, but then Ye Xiang was demoted. Speaking of this, Chu He was very depressed, why didn't he take a good look at the roster in the first place? If he knew that Ye Chi had come to Qinzhou, how could he still be so sad!

Kaoru Tai was still not sad or happy, and continued to ask: "Since he has been demoted, why are you still so jealous of him?"

Chu He glanced at her, raised his eyebrows, seemed to be hiding some secret, and said in a low voice: "I only told you if you are a little girl, Lord Ye is a person next to His Royal Highness the Regent, and being sent to Qinzhou is just an expedient measure." Usually people can't stammer, you hug your thighs more, and when he returns to the court, there are benefits. ”

Kaoru Yutai nodded, and seemed to gradually understand Ye Chi's so-called "complexity": the capital is indeed not a simple place.

Although the emperor of the country ascended the throne at a young age, he was actually the son of the late third prince, and King Lian, who participated in the regent, was the eldest prince. As for why the person who ascended the throne back then was not King Lian, it was involved in the violent death of Queen Haiyi.

Empress Haiyi and the first emperor have a deep relationship, but unfortunately the first child is a princess, and King Lian, who was born to a concubine, became the eldest prince. A few years later, the little prince was born, but that day coincided with thunder and lightning, wind and rain, the queen was in childbirth, and the ancient tree in the thunder overwhelmed the beam, a son and a daughter, including dozens of palace maids and eunuchs, all died in the accident.

The first emperor lost his beloved wife, and felt very sad for the youngest son who had not yet seen him, and then had a serious illness. Weiguo is close to the north, this kind of bad weather is really rare, and it just happened to kill the queen and others, and it was a rumor that spread quickly, saying that this little prince was actually a disaster star from the sky, and he killed his mother as soon as he was born.

After all, the first emperor was old, so he believed this and wanted to make King Lian the crown prince, but the other party didn't seem to be very interested in the throne and never agreed. A few years later, the third prince died of illness, and King Lian supported the other party's only son to become the emperor, and he became the regent.

The story of the defense of the country is quite legendary, and it is also spread among the people, but they have no intention of studying whether it is true or false; as long as there is a happy life, it does not matter who is in power.

Since Ye Chi is a capable minister next to the regent, it is impossible to be demoted casually, it should be as Chu He said, come to Qinzhou to avoid the limelight, no wonder this person is in a hurry to hug his thighs.

Yutai Kaoru was silent, and finally understood what Yuan Ziling said about keeping her away from Ye Chi, but her heart was eager to try, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth subconsciously.

Capital...... It's getting more and more interesting.

***

Since he came to Qinzhou, the yamen has become much more disciplined than before. Although he has an expression of hugging his thighs all day long, fools know that it is impossible to do anything in the annual review.

If a candidate who returns to the bottom of the table suddenly wins the first place, he will definitely be suspected of cheating. And if it is placed in the imperial court, it is a matter of losing the head, and a fool will not try it lightly.

So, just when Chu He was thinking about how to please Ye Chi every day, Kaoru Tai and others were also worried about how to entertain him, and finally listened to Yuan Ziling's opinion and set up a simple welcome banquet in one of his mansions.

It was a spacious house, and because there were few people living in it all year round, there were few things, but it was cleaned. After sending Ah Yao home, he hurried over, and there were already many people coming from the yamen, and Su Yu was also refreshed, and he drank wine before the banquet began.

"Su Tongju, can you wait first?" asked Kaoru Yutai in a loud voice.

When exactly did this person come to Qinzhou, she didn't know very well, she only knew that it didn't take long for her to become a general judge, and she didn't want to be promoted, and she lived a life of idle hair, but she never starved to death.

She eventually came to the conclusion that everyone Ye Chi knew had a bit of a problem with their behavior.

Yuan Ziling has been busy since noon, in the end, she was thinking about the last time she invited Kaoru Tai to dinner, but she was detained by Ye Chi in the public court and didn't let her come out until the evening.

Hmph, this shameless bad guy.

He scolded secretly, from the beginning of the incident in the trading house, he felt that Ye Chi was a little targeted at him, especially in the matter of Kaoru Tai, but to be honest, he has always been fearless, and will continue to be fearless.

A watch is coming, and the moon stars are scarce. When Ye Chi entered the table, most of the people had already arrived, and Chu He was already sitting opposite him respectfully. Kaoru Yutai was in charge of the hospitality, and after sitting down, she realized that she had already placed a full bowl on her seat, with peeled shrimp and well-picked fish, which was generally very much to her taste.

As soon as she turned her head, sure enough, it was prepared for her by Yuan Ziling, so she sat beside her and poured her a glass of wine.

Nothing to be courteous and famous.

It was the first sentence that came to her mind.

She and Yuan Ziling have known each other for more than ten years, and they can't be more familiar with each other, so they occasionally go out to eat together, but most of the time they bring Ah Yao with them.

Ye Chi here saw this scene and silently put down his chopsticks.

Why didn't she care about kissing him?

"Sit down. Ye Chi spoke slowly, and this sentence attracted everyone's attention.

The seat had been set before, and although there was a vacant seat next to him, Kaoru Yutai had specially arranged himself in the outermost position in order to facilitate the handling of these things.

"Why?"

Ye Chi smiled with her, and glanced at Yuan Ziling: "You are Zhou Cheng, so naturally you should sit here with me." ”

Kaoru Yutai was right to think about it, so he said "oh", and was about to get up, but his hand was held by Yuan Ziling, and he didn't move.

Everyone's heads looked at Ye Chi in unison, and they had a premonition of a good show to come.

"Don't you know Lord Ye Xiang?" Yuan Ziling's smile was rarely kind, but it obviously concealed some deep meaning, and deliberately emphasized the title, "I and Kaoru are doll kisses." ”
