Although Ye Fengqi seems to be self-admiring and doesn't do business, in fact, he has a huge intelligence network in his hands, which is no worse than Jinyiwei and Dongchang Xichang, so Ye Fengqi is Ye Yichen's eyes and ears, and Ye Yichen is deaf and clear-sighted because of him.

The news of the Taishan earthquake is not known to anyone in Beijing except for these two brothers.

Yulan's heart trembled when he heard this, and he asked in the first sentence: "Are there any casualties?" ”

Ye Yichen was asked by her, "...... Probably not! ”

As soon as Yulan saw his expression, she knew that she hadn't asked the point, and she was a little puzzled: "...... So what have you been discussing for a long time? "I'm not thinking about disaster relief, what is there to study about an earthquake. Think about it, that kind of place, that kind of environment, sightseeing tourism is okay, there should be no one living there!

Ye Yichen's expression was quite heavy, but when he heard her gag, he laughed. Grabbed her little hand and put it in the palm of her hand, and explained to her while rubbing it, "Tarzan is not an ordinary mountain ......"

Yulan rolled her eyes. The head of the five mountains, my sister has climbed eighteen plates in her last life!

Ye Yichen took the trouble to explain to her: "Mount Tai is the place where the emperor sealed Zen!" Feng Zen is not something that ordinary emperors can do, if there is no corresponding great achievement, just run up to seal Zen, that is to be scolded by future generations. ”

Confucius once said that the gods of Mount Tai are well versed in etiquette and will not accept people with inappropriate status to sacrifice. That is to say, it must be an emperor through the ages to worship Mount Tai. Qi Huan, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, was going to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and Prime Minister Guan Zhong was resolutely opposed!

Ye Yichen gave her a typical representative: Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu!

The founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty went to Mount Tai to play a sacrifice, but was scolded by later generations for thousands of years.

After talking for a long time, Yulan finally understood that the political significance of Mount Tai is very huge! Well, I still don't understand, what the hell are you going to say!

Ye Yichen was kind and persuasive: "Mount Tai refers to the foundation of the entire country, where is the foundation of my Great Chu Empire?" ”

Yulan had a vague thought flashing in his mind: "Could it be ......?"

Ye Yichen nodded: "It's the prince of the East Palace!" ”

Yulan sat up in shock. You must know that the ancients were extremely superstitious, the earthquake in Mount Tai, should be in the East Palace, and the court will definitely feel that this is God showing dissatisfaction, and God can't see the orthodox suppression of the prince like this.

Yulan muttered: "Isn't that prince about to turn over the salted fish!" During this time, the prince was claustrophobic in the East Palace, and even asked to see the emperor, but the emperor did not agree.

Seeing that the crown prince was poor and was about to be finished, many officials who praised the high and the low had already thrown olive branches to King Zhao.

Who knew that God ran out to help him.

Ye Yichen muttered, "I didn't expect this waste to have such luck!" "The destiny of heaven is unpredictable, and no one knows who will take his place after the death of the orthodoxy of the Dao, and it may not be the mediocre and cowardly current prince. You must know that when Emperor Taizong was still alive, no one would think that orthodoxy was qualified to be the emperor, but he was the one who came to power the most.

When the news of the Taishan earthquake reached Beijing, a large number of officials who were originally active in abolishing the prince only felt that their backs were cold, and Qin Tianjian immediately went to the table and asked the emperor to pardon the prince's crimes, release the prince from the East Palace, and entrust him with important tasks.

The ministers wrote to echo it.

The orthodox emperor is also a little flustered, he is the emperor, anyone can be offended, but God can't. Hurriedly a decree pardoned the prince's crimes, and invented an edict, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor and the prince in the Taihe Hall to accept the civil and military officials to bow and congratulate.

You must know that the list of participants in the Spring Festival celebrations drawn up by the Ministry of Rites has already crossed out the prince!

For a time, rumors that the crown prince was destined to return were rampant, and many people believed it to be true.

The prince was grounded in the East Palace, but he didn't expect a piece of pie to fall from the sky and hit him on the head. The prince was overjoyed.

Yulan lamented that feudal superstition killed people, and at the same time, he was busy with all kinds of affairs for the New Year. Yulan was currently in the small flower hall where guests were entertaining at the moment to meet a round-faced woman wearing indigo ten brocade makeup gowns.

This woman came from the house of Master Ma under the command of the Jinyi Guard.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Ma Yunniang married Henan, and Ma Daren married her before the New Year. Yulan not only added makeup to Ma Yunniang, but also went to the wedding day in person.

This woman's surname is Zhang, and she is the mother-in-law who has to be used by Mrs. Ma's side, and Zhang's mother sent the marriage to Zhengzhou until she watched Ma Yunniang get married. brought a handwritten letter from Ma Yunniang to Yulan.

Mother Zhang sat on the small pestle opposite Yulan, the Great Chu clan withered, and the princess was relatively scarce, she still talked to the princess for the first time, and her palms were sweating. Seeing that Yulan was not only beautiful, but also kind and gentle, she not only asked her to sit down, but also asked the maid to serve her a bowl of good tea. That temperament cultivation is not even more said, and I can't help but relax.

“…… The eighteenth day of the lunar month is the day of my aunt's grandmother, "Ma Yunniang is married to the son of the political envoy of Henan, ranking fourth, and after getting married, she will be called the fourth grandmother."

“…… The commander of the envoy Zhang is my master's comrade-in-arms, the friendship is extraordinary, the fourth grandmother was married from the family of Lord Zhang, the political secretary, the press rub division, the Du command envoy division, the prefect yamen...... There were people with heads and faces on the ground in Henan who came that day. The fourth grandmother's family affairs are very decent. The political envoy Lin family arranged it very properly, and his wife was also very satisfied. "I picked the scene of the wedding day and told Yulan again.

Yulan asked with a smile, "Can my mother be present when I greet the kiss?" ”

Zhang's mother knew that Yulan wanted to ask the groom how the official was. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes." The old woman was at the scene that day, and Aunt Zhang was riding a tall horse and was very handsome and graceful. As for the character, my lord has already inquired clearly, the eighteen-year-old lifter, the whole Dachu can't find a few, in the future, if you win the jinshi, it's no problem to earn back a set of phoenix crown xia veils for the fourth grandmother. And the Lin family's family style is very upright, my uncle is eighteen years old, and there is not even a girl in the house! ”

Yulan nodded again and again. Zhang's mother presented Ma Yunniang's letter, and when Yulan opened it, Ma Yunniang wrote about the marriage in the letter, and said that her husband was considerate and gentle to her, her mother-in-law was very kind, and her concubine was not difficult to get along with.

Ma Yunniang and Lin Sigongzi's marriage is right, because the commander of Jinyiwei can see the face of heaven, and Ma Yunniang's maiden family is tougher. The Lin family was able to treat her like this, but it was not surprising to Yulan.

Ma Yunniang can reap happiness, and Yulan is really happy for her. As for her love for Ye Minchun, Yulan believes that it will slowly fade with the passage of time, until it is completely forgotten at the end.

Ma Yunniang said in the letter that Jingshi is not far from Henan, and asked Yulan to go to Henan to see her when she is free. Yulan couldn't help but smile bitterly, she wanted to go out of the mountains and rivers, but with such a big stall in the palace, it was impossible for her to leave Ye Yichen alone. What's more, although Yulan is married, it is really troublesome for a woman to go out.

After reading the letter, Zhang's mother said in the dark: "Isn't it almost the New Year, when I came back, my aunt and grandmother specially bought a New Year's gift for you, not something valuable, they are all specialties from Henan, I hope you don't be too thin!" My wife also prepared a small gift, saying that Xie Lu thanked you for taking care of your aunt, and it was her blessing that my aunt could have such a good sister as you......"

Zhang's mother is very good at talking, and Yulan said with a smile: "Aunt is too polite!" Yun Niang's thoughts, I'm too late to be happy, how can I dislike it! Saying that, he took the two lists, read them carefully, and then handed them to Qian's mother to collect, and her own subordinates counted the gifts into the warehouse.

At this time, the governors of various places, and the salute sent by the court officials Yulan received a soft hand, and he was already familiar with doing this kind of thing again.

asked someone to send Zhang's mother away, and Yulan came to the small study to write a reply letter to Ma Yunniang first, and asked someone to send it out. After doing such a little thing, I felt weak again.

Xiaoyue saw clearly from the side, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yulan and let her sit on the chair, a little maid came in with a bowl of hot tea, and Yulan felt a little better after taking a sip.

Xiaoyue said worriedly: "Princess, your body has been ...... recently Let's ask a doctor to take a look at you! ”

Yulan also felt a little strange, she had just crossed that time, this body was still a little weak, but in the past two years, she has been strengthening her exercise, and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine to regulate her body.

Why do you get tired so easily lately?

However, it is really not good to invite a doctor in this New Year, and Yulan felt that it was not a serious illness, so he said: "Let's spend the New Year over!" ”

After drinking a cup of tea, Yulan went to the small flower hall to meet people again. Approaching the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of special things.

Red Sleeves soon came in, and a plain gown with a silver hairpin simply stuck on his head came out. She seems to know that Yulan doesn't like her to dress up in fancy ways, and every time she comes to see Yulan, she is dressed extremely plainly.

Since Yulan cleaned up Princess Bai's companion room, her prestige in the mansion has been completely established. Bai's companion room was sent to Zhuangzi, and Yulan took the opportunity to promote a few capable mothers from the Internal Affairs Bureau, and unceremoniously arranged his companion room to several important positions, and then it would be much smoother to take care of the house.

Red Sleeves saw Yulan's methods, and had a handle in Yulan's hands, and seemed to have a thorough understanding of the situation, not only became respectful to Yulan, but also did his best for the errands assigned by Yulan.

She is a capable person, and with her help, Yulan is a lot lighter in managing the house.

Yulan asked her to sit down, and the maid brought tea, and gave an account book to Red Sleeves: "You take someone to check the accounts again, and if there is nothing wrong, quickly send the monthly money at the end of the year everywhere." Seeing that the New Year is coming, this matter can't be delayed any longer, the next person is also a human being, and he also wants silver for the New Year! "In the past few days, Yulan has not had enough energy, and this matter has dragged on for a few days.

The new clothes for the New Year have already been made and distributed.

Red Sleeves replied yes. I took the list and looked at it and was a little stunned. Yulan explained with a smile: "Ordinary subordinates follow last year's example, and this year I have added an extra 20%. The general steward everywhere, the first-class mother, and the first-class girl like you, if you do a good job, I will give you another red envelope! If there are too many mistakes, this red envelope will be gone! I will ask Xiaoyu to do ...... in this matter" Red Sleeves nodded again and again, thinking in her heart that this master mother has a wide hand, and she will never be reluctant to give up the silver in the public. No wonder since she took charge of the palace, everyone has said good things about her.

She really made everyone's interests even touched.

Yulan took out the gift list of Ma Yunniang and Mrs. Ma and handed it to her, first explained her relationship with Ma Yunniang and Mrs. Ma, and asked her to draw up two gift lists, and after she looked at it, she sent the gift over a year ago.

The red sleeves were written down one by one, and Yulan sent her down.

When Ye Yichen came back, Yulan took out a few lists to show him, which were New Year's gifts for the crown prince, King Zhao, Jingyang Palace and several important clans, these are extremely sensitive characters, which family should give as much, thick and thin, a lot of exquisiteness, Yulan didn't dare to be good at it, so he specially showed it to Ye Yichen.

"If you think it's okay, I'll send a steward tomorrow!"

Ye Yichen saw that her face was not good, and sat down on the couch holding her hand: "These days, you have been raising Wen'er, and you have to be busy with the trivial matters of the New Year, which is really hard." ”

Yulan smiled and said, "It's all my business!" The prince was busy all night the day before, and I couldn't help with the affairs of the previous dynasty. I'll have to take care of the back house, at least not to hold you back. ”

Ye Yichen kissed her on the face first, then picked up the gift list and looked at it casually, and said, "Since you set it, then it is no longer appropriate, just ask them to send it tomorrow." ”

Put down the list and asked: "Why are there two copies of the prince and King Zhao!" ”

Yulan explained to him: "A concubine next to the prince and a concubine next to King Zhao are pregnant. Since this matter has made us aware of the Tao, we can't help but give a gift. ”

The fact that the girl Duan next to King Zhao was pregnant was deliberately revealed by Ye Minyu. If Concubine Xiao insisted on refusing to let Miss Duan give birth to this child, King Zhao, as a son, would not be very good to fight with his mother, and if he was charged with unfilial piety, then his political future would be worrisome.

But if this matter is clear, Concubine Xiao will not be able to interfere arbitrarily, and insist on asking the Duan family to beat the child out. I heard that this matter had reached the heavens, and the emperor even called King Zhao into the Qianqing Palace to ask about it. The emperor has asked, and this child has one more talisman.

As for the prince's child, it was the green branch that came to tell her yesterday. A few days ago, the prince was grounded in the mansion to study, and Yuxin was not good at asking people outside to go in and walk around, and the eldest lady had no news of her daughter for a long time, so she was so anxious that she almost jumped to her feet.

So as soon as the emperor released the prince's holy decree, Yuxin sent Luzhi out of the palace, first to Yang's house, and then to Yulan.

A while ago, the East Palace was closed to visitors, and Yulan was also worried. The green branch came up to report safety first, saying that Yuxin was well recuperated, and now she is in good health. Yulan asked about the situation in the East Palace, and Luzhi told Yulan the news that a concubine was pregnant.

The emperor told the prince to study behind closed doors, where could he read books, just messing around with some women in Yuqing Palace every day. Yuxin stopped all the concubines except Yuxia from the medicine. There is a very favored six-grade Song Liangyuan by the prince's side, and the prince often rests in her palace, but the first one to get pregnant is not Song Liangyuan, but the personal palace maid next to Song Liangyuan.

Yulan felt strange at the time! Since Yuxin's abortion, she has put a lot of beautiful concubines around the prince, fat rings and thin swallows, all kinds of styles!

What else is the prince not satisfied with, he actually touched a palace maid again?

"It's so dirty that slaves can't even speak!" There was endless disdain on Green Branch's face. It turned out that the prince was grounded in the palace for those days, and all the beautiful concubines had slept enough, so they wanted to do some tricks, so Song Liangyuan did everything in order to accept the favor. simply pulled the palace maids around him to bed together, and several people played with the prince together.

As a result, after a few times, this palace maid surnamed Zhang was there.

The prince is too good to refresh the lower limit! Yulan felt that his three views were cracked and cracked!

Lu Zhi said disdainfully: "That Song Liangyuan is not a good thing, her father is still a six-grade master bookkeeper, no matter how you say it, the official eunuch family has taught such a shameless daughter!" ”

When Yulan heard the mess in the East Palace, she had a headache for Yuxin. Rubbing his temples, he asked, "And what about later?" ”

Lu Zhi said: "After Song Liangyuan learned that her personal palace maid was pregnant, she was afraid that she would thin the prince's favor, and she wanted to secretly kill the palace maid's child!" The palace maid surnamed Zhang is not a stupid person, she ran to the main hall overnight to beg the princess to make her the master! ”

"After the crown princess learned about this matter, she immediately asked the queen for a decree, and also gave this palace maid a good lady of the sixth grade." When Green Branch said this, the corners of Yulan's mouth also showed a smile; "That Song Liangyuan was self-defeating, presumably her intestines must be repentant now!" The palace maid next to her once gained power, she actually rode on her head, and set up a big enemy for herself, can you not be sad?

And I don't know what kind of mood Yuxia is in!

"She probably didn't have time to regret it, she was grounded by the crown princess!" This is understandable for Yulan, murdering the emperor's heir is a big crime of killing the head, but since it is only grounded, probably Yuxin did not convict Song Liangyuan of the crime so seriously.

Lu Zhi said: "But Niangniang also said that when the child in Zhang Liangyuan's belly sits, let her out." "Yulan's heart is bright, this Song Liangyuan is probably extremely beautiful, Yuxin still wants to use her to contain Yuxia and disperse the prince's favor!

Yulan said: "If this palace maid, oh, Zhang Liangyuan can give birth to a son." The crown princess was raised under her knees, the child's mother was from a humble background, and even if she grows up in the future, she will have to rely on the princess to stand on her feet, no matter whether she is true or not, she must always be filial to the princess, so that the princess will always have a reliance in the future! Yulan is also very happy for Yuxin.

Lu Zhi said: "The crown princess also said so. However, Zhang Liangyuan is not a trouble-free person, the crown princess sent a few grandmothers and palace maids to wait for her, but she was afraid that the crown princess deliberately wanted to harm her child! was suspicious all day long, and she didn't even dare to eat the things presented by the palace maid who was waiting for her, but now she is skinny in just a few days! What's more, there are so many people in the palace eyeing each other, whether this child can be saved or not is a question! ”

Yulan knew that among the people who were eyeing him, Yuxia was definitely one of them. The Song Liangyuan who was punished must also be one of them.

Yulan couldn't help but feel anxious for Zhang Liangyuan when she heard it. "She is helpless in the palace, if she doesn't rely on the crown princess, who else can she rely on?" She turned out to be a palace maid, but she didn't have her own team like Yuxin!

Lu Zhi shook his head: "Niangniang sent Mama over to beat her, but she couldn't listen to anything." Niangniang doesn't want to care about it now, if she can't keep this child, she will not be blessed! ”

If you don't die, you won't die, if this Zhang Liangyuan has to be suspicious of everyone, then she really doesn't have to live.

Lu Zhi told Yulan that the prince was quite proud after knowing that Zhang Liangyuan was pregnant, if it weren't for Yuxin to manage the East Palace in an orderly manner, there would be no rumors to spread out, and it is estimated that the impeachment recital of Yanguan Yushi would have drowned the prince long ago.

The crown prince was very happy when he heard that one of King Zhao's concubines was pregnant, so he hurriedly told the emperor the news of Zhang Liangyuan's pregnancy.

Now Zhang Liangyuan, a child, can be regarded as having crossed the bright road.

Yulan told the prince about these things as gossip, and couldn't help but complain after the most reluctant: "Is it the prince's destiny like this? If it is really destiny, then God is really blind! ”

Ye Yichen laughed.

The prince looked at it casually, and asked Yulan to send the gift out of Lu before the New Year according to the list.

Yulan nodded in agreement, and took out the last list to show Ye Yichen: "This is a New Year's gift for the Bai family, please take a look, and who should send this gift, or the prince will inform Manager Ma and ask him to send it in person?" ”

Although the princess Bai in front of her is hanging, but people can't cool their tea, the Bai family and the Jin prince's mansion are still serious relatives, not to mention the relationship between the Bai family and her grandson Ye Minwen.

Every year, the four festivals and eight rituals will be sent regularly. However, Yulan has been married for so long, and the Bai family has not often come to disturb the life of the young couple, except for sending people to ask for peace and ask about their grandson's situation.

It can be seen that the Bai family also has people who understand!

Ye Yichen looked at this list very seriously.

Yulan hurriedly explained to him: "It's thicker than what was sent to my mother's house!" ”

Ye Yichen glanced up at her: "This is very appropriate, it's just ...... You have been wronged! ”

Yulan smiled and said: "My heart is not so small, I can't eat ......" The vinegar of the dead man, these words are really difficult to speak, Yulan quickly covered his mouth.

Ye Yichen put down the gift list, hugged Yulan into his arms, and said in a low voice: "You are what I tried so hard to get back, and she, more importantly, is that I want to repay Old Man Bai for his kindness to me!" So you and her, are completely different! ”
