The meal was sweetly finished. Yulan called someone to come in and clean up, Ye Yichen took her hand and entered the bedroom, he saw that Yulan was in a very bad spirit, so he said, "You sleep for a while!" As he spoke, he helped Yulan onto the bed.

Yulan Road; "It's a big day, how can you sleep at this hour? Besides, I have to hand over the housework with my grandmother......"

Ye Yichen smiled: "You are the head of this family, I don't find fault with you, who else dares to pick on you!" Even if you sleep now, you can rest assured that your subordinates will not be killed, who dares to go out and say a word nonsense, no matter how they die! ”

Yulan really didn't sleep well last night, so she lay down with peace of mind. Ye Yichen tucked the quilt for her, and then said, "You are so resting, if you have anything to do, you will do it when your body is better." I have to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies! Yulan didn't expect that Ye Yichen would go to the Yamen on business on the fourth day of marriage, and there are still seventeen days of honeymoon vacation in modern times.

It's not that she can't understand that the three battalions were broken up and reorganized into the twelve regiments, and Ye Yichen had already told her yesterday that there were more than 200,000 soldiers in the three battalions. Yulan took his hand and just asked, "Then, will you come back for dinner at noon?" ”

Ye Yichen said: "I'm afraid it can't!" The newlywed Yan'er is going to go out on business, and Ye Yichen is also quite guilty, "What do you want to eat, just ask the small kitchen to come in." I'll come back in the evening to have dinner with you! Ye Yichen remembered one more thing and said: "If someone from outside wants to come into the mansion to visit you, if you want to see it, you will see it first, and if you don't want to see it, you will push it!" If they ask about the reform of the military system, you just say that you don't know what to say, and don't agree to anything. ”

Yulan nodded: "It's all up to you!" ”

Ye Yichen left the house, and Yulan asked Mother Qian to go and tell the eldest grandmother in person, it was indeed a little uncomfortable today, so she didn't go to Jiaqing Hall for the time being.

It is not a matter of urgency to take over government affairs, and the eldest grandmother will naturally not object.

Yulan slept in bed, but he only slept for an hour, after all, the quality of sleep during the day was not as good as at night, although he woke up in good spirits, but he was still happy. I can't sleep anymore.

The girls served her to wash up briefly, put on a dress casually, and it was still early before the time for dinner, so Yulan asked Xiaoyue to take yesterday's account book and continue to read.

After looking at it twice, the porter sent a lot of prayer posts in, all to see Yulan. Yulan remembered Ye Yichen's instructions when he left, and thought to herself that the prince was really like a god, saying that someone was going to visit her, and sure enough, he came. It is said that she is only on the fourth day of her marriage, and she is going to come to worship the mountain gate, and it is a little early at this time.

She flipped through the posts casually, and the top stack was either a duchess, a marquise, or at least a countess, all of them were first-class figures in the circle of ladies and ladies in Beijing, and many Yulan had only heard of them and had never seen them. The tone in the post is extremely humble, although Yulan is married to Ye Yichen, the holy decree of canonizing the princess has not come down for the time being, so the posture of these noblewomen is very low.

Yulan couldn't help but feel a little strange, looking at them in such a hurry, it seemed that they had a request for the prince, and if they looked so ugly, the benefits must be very huge. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost the dignity of the duchess for this matter. It must be related to the reform of the military system, but what exactly has to do with it, Yulan can't guess. She kept this matter in mind, and when the prince came back to ask him, it was not to interfere with his previous affairs, but to understand the situation clearly, so that she could take the initiative when communicating with the noblewomen.

She doesn't want to see any of these people, but although she has a high status, it is not okay to offend all the noblewomen in the capital at once. She called to take the post to the inner study, and replied to the post one by one with more than a dozen highest-ranking ladies on the top, the reasons were all ready-made, and she said that she was unwell, and she was really not suitable for meeting guests, forgive Yunyun.

If there are some unimportant left, I will ask the girl to return to the porter, and ask the porter to write a reply and send it to the houses. Yulan was thinking again that it would be better for two maids who were proficient in writing and ink to wait in the inner study. I just don't know if there is such a girl in the room!

Xiaoyue Xiaoyu knew a few words, but she really couldn't handle the words. Writing takes a long time to practice, and the two of them are busy taking care of Yulan where they can find time to practice calligraphy.

I wrote more than a dozen replies, and it was noon. Yulan rubbed his sore wrists, thinking that he also wanted to rest for a day, but who knew that Lu Dao was so busy. It's really not easy to be the housewife.

Just thinking about it, Mother Qian came in and asked, "Madam, it's not too early, should you set the meal now or later?" ”

Yulan touched her stomach, after doing this half a day's work, she was not very hungry. Could it be that the spinach pork liver porridge called by Ye Yichen played a role? Thinking about Yulan, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although I wasn't very hungry, I still asked Qian's mother to set the meal. It's not interesting to eat alone, Yulan barely drank a bowl of porridge, and then scattered the food for the girls and grandmothers to eat.

After lunch, Yulan took a nap for half an hour, and when she woke up and just cleaned up, the little maid came in and replied: "Pray for the concubine and the eldest young master to see." ”

Yulan was slightly stunned, and Xiaoyu explained in a low voice on the side: "Concubine Qi came once in the morning, and Mrs. was resting at the time, and was blocked by Mother Qian. I said that I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came here to say goodbye! In the morning, Yulan was impatient and perfunctory because she was uncomfortable, so she called a mother-in-law and told Qi Shi not to come over to say goodbye.

The side concubine is the side concubine, and she is also Yulan's slave in the mansion, and Yulan is the only mistress of the palace. When the master is sick, the slave comes to say hello, and there is nothing wrong with this etiquette. It is the power of the master mother to see it, and whether it comes or not is the attitude of the concubine.

Yulan thought for a moment and said, "Invite them in." ”

The little maid went outside to spread the word, Xiaoyue stepped forward to open the curtain, and Qi came in with Ye Minwen. I don't know if it's because I suffered a secret loss here in Yulan yesterday, but today the Qi family seems to be well-behaved, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in dressing and behavior.

Ye Minwen still looked very restrained.

Yulan asked someone to move a chair for the two of them to sit on, and asked the little girl to bring a snack for Ye Minwen to eat. Qi said: "I heard that Madame's little day is coming, I specially asked someone to stew the tonic, and asked Madame to accept it." "The Qi family wants to raise Ye Minwen, and she has a special kitchenette in her room. The palace is not bad at this expense.

Qi's personal maid came up with a delicate small clay pot, charcoal was still burning underneath, and the soup inside was still boiling, and it was very carefully prepared.

Yulan smiled and asked Xiaoyue to take it: "It's bothering my sister." I'm just a little uncomfortable, not enough to drink supplements! Although I took her supplement, I didn't take a bite of it.

Qi Shi didn't urge, but said: "Although this kind of thing is not a big deal, it is good to be careful." Don't take it lightly, because when the weather is hot, you will be greedy for cold, and if you eat something raw and cold, it will not be good if you get a woman's disease. ”

Yulan heard that her heart moved, she didn't say anything about her coming to Xiaotian, except for a few girls who could enter the room to wait, it was not easy for others to know Lu Dao, how did she know Lu Dao?

Of course, this matter can still be deduced through clues, it can be seen that she is also paying attention to the main courtyard at all times, and the girl in her yard is afraid that someone is willing to report to her.

The main courtyard must be put in order as soon as possible!

Yulan was thinking in his heart, his face was still smiling, there was no difference in color, and after a few more gossips, Qi took Ye Minwen to retire knowing the opportunity.

Xiaoyu saw that only she and Xiaoyue were left in the room, so she approached Yulan and said, "How did Concubine Qi know that Mrs. Lu Dao was coming...... Yulan saw that she was alert, and glanced at her approvingly: "I can't manage everything in the room, you help Mother Qian take a look." ”

Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "Do you want me to check?" ”

Yulan nodded: "Quietly, don't alarm anyone." ”

Xiaoyu went out.

Xiaoyue asked, "What about the supplements sent by Concubine Qifang?" ”

Yulan thought for a while: "Find a place where no one is around." Since the Qi clan has blatantly sent the tonic like this, it is expected that no "ingredients" will be added to it, but be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and Yulan is not willing to gamble even if there is even the slightest possibility.

On the other hand, Qi Shi was in a very good mood, returned to the small courtyard to take a hot bath, and ordered the kitchen to stew a small pot of rock sugar pear water, the prince is the most bitter summer, every summer Qi always tries to make some ice drinks to please the prince, the prince does not love those precious drinks, but has a soft spot for rock sugar pear water.

Qi Shi has already planned to break into the outer study once tonight and send rock sugar pear water to the prince. Da Chu thinks that menstruation is filth, and when women come to have a small day, men generally do not rest in women's rooms. Even if Ye Yichen refuses to come to Qi's courtyard, he will definitely go to the outer study to rest.

After Yulan dealt with the Qi family here, someone came in and said: "The red-sleeved girl is here, saying that according to your instructions, she has brought all the gift files from the beginning of the New Year to the Dragon Boat Festival since the beginning of this year." "Yulan has been waiting for Red Sleeves.

Yesterday she instructed Red Sleeves to take the gift list and look at it today, but she waited until now to come. She is a subordinate, and she was instructed by her master, so she should have sent the gift list early!

That's right, yesterday I didn't set an hour, so she took advantage of a loophole. If she didn't send it all the time, Yulan would naturally be able to send her down, but if she sent it today, Yulan would have no excuse.

Yulan couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, saying that she was smart, she was really a little smart. Call her stupid, she is really stupid, she dares to do it with the housewife in charge of the house, does she really think that she is the person next to the prince, and her concubine will not dare to send her down?

Yulan asked Xiaoyue to take the order and sent her back directly, without even seeing her. It's just a room, and she can't make any big waves, and Yulan is too lazy to bother with her. If she dares to offend herself again in the future, she will be rectified together when the time comes, and now she has more important things to do.

Today's posts are a reminder to her, she should take a long-term view, and can't just stare at this little thing in the house. Not to mention that he can be completely synchronized with Ye Yichen, at least he can't be dragged back, and the communication with the nobles of the clan and the wealthy family must not be relaxed.

Xiaoyue served a bowl of milk, and Yulan drank it while turning over the thick gift list. In the past two days, she really found a little bit of the feeling of being a sales director back then, although she was not a workaholic at that time, but she was also dutiful and overtime.

When I get to work, time flies. In a blink of an eye, it was time for the unitary, and the maids came in to put on the lamp, and Yulan put down the gift list. Looking over this afternoon, she found that the palace ceremony was a bit messy. is obviously a person with the same official position, and the intimacy with the prince is almost the same, but the severity of the gift is much different.

This gift-giving is a science, there are many rules and ways in it, sometimes the gift is not good, it is easy to offend people.

There is no master in charge of the palace in the palace, and this ceremony is a little undisciplined. No matter how old the eldest grandmother is, after all, she has limited knowledge of the government and politics, and of course the knowledge of the red sleeves is even shorter. As for the prince, he must be too lazy to take care of such a trivial matter, of course, with his current status, these gifts are wrong, and no one dares to show them in person, but even if he hates him in his heart, it is not a good thing after all.

Yulan sat for an afternoon, and Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu helped her walk two steps in the courtyard and loosen up. Yulan walked for a while, and saw that it was getting late, so he was a little anxious: "Has the prince come back?" "The maids and women in this courtyard are in and out, but the prince is not around, she just feels like something is missing, and she is very uncomfortable.

She herself also knows the way, and it is in vain to ask, if the prince comes back, the maids will report in one by one, and she will already know the way. Sure enough, Xiaoyue said: "If the prince comes back, we will definitely know the Tao early in the morning." ”

After waiting for another hour, Ye Yichen was late. Although he had been on business for a day, the prince was still in high spirits: "I was blocked by a group of Qiu Ba in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and I almost couldn't come back!" ”

Yulan welcomed him into the main room with a happy face, and was about to step forward to help him undress, Ye Yichen said; "There are so many people in this room, and you are still needed?"

Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong came in to serve him to change clothes, wash his hands and face, and change his clothes, Yulan estimated that he must be hungry, and when Ye Yichen cleaned up, the Xijijian meal was also set. The two sat down to eat, and Ye Yichen said, "If I come back late in the future, you can eat early, you don't have to wait for me to come back and use it together." ”

Yulan personally served him a bowl of rice: "The prince is not here, what's the point of me eating alone." ”

The corners of Ye Yichen's mouth hooked, and he seemed to be very satisfied with her answer. "It seems that this king will have to go back to the house on time to eat in the future, so as not to starve my little wife!"

Yulan's face turned red, and he quickly changed the topic and reported the posts he received today to Ye Yichen one by one. She has a good memory and good eloquence, and she also told Ye Yichen the content of the posts of the princes and ladies one by one, and she actually said it very clearly and clearly.

Ye Yichen said with a smile: "These military attaches all ran to the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to block the king, and the princes asked their wives to come to see you." Hey hey ......"

Yulan was taken aback: "What are they going to do?" ”

Ye Yichen didn't hide it from her: "This time the military system reform, the three battalions have become twelve regiments and battalions, the emperor means that the twelve regiments and battalions are divided by the twelve marquis, and now the candidates have not yet been decided, they are not all crazy." ”

Yulan suddenly realized that the prince who controlled a battalion of soldiers and horses and a prince who had no errands were far from the same status. The 12th Regiment Battalion is the most elite unit in the country, once it becomes the commander, it is immediately worth a hundred times, who does not sharpen his head and desperately drill the battalion. No wonder even those founding princes' families don't care about their faces, and their posture is so low to make friends with her.

Yulan cautiously asked, "How much say do you have in these candidates?" You've got it all in mind, right? "It is said that these candidates should be the emperor's cadres and arbitrary. These soldiers and horses are stationed near the capital!

Ye Yichen glanced at her and said, "I can decide at least half of the candidates." Yulan gasped, deeply feeling his strong influence in the army.

Ye Yichen made her look very useful. When he finished eating, he shared with her some of his relationship with these princes. Which prince is better to have a personal relationship with, you can be cordial and easy-going when you meet their wives, and who is just a face-saving relationship, such a lady is just a polite sentence when she meets, just face the past......

Yulan actually wanted to ask him early in the morning, but he was afraid that he would be upset, so he didn't dare to disturb. Listening to him now, I listen to it with relish. While listening, I memorized it by heart. This has been said for an hour. Even Ye Yichen himself felt a little strange, he usually didn't have such patience, and he had never said so much. Yulan's eyes were shining, and when the prince saw her little expression, he kept talking endlessly, which was really strange.

Yulan has gained a lot tonight, and there is still some unfinished after the end. Ye Yichen smiled and pointed his finger at her forehead: "It's the second watch, let's settle it!" As he spoke, he called Qiu Aya and Qiu Hong to come in.

Yulan was stunned: "Prince, don't you go to live in the study?" She has long been mentally prepared, she will be alone in the empty room tonight, today she is a small day, and she can't wait for the prince, but she won't do such a brainless thing as pushing him to the Qi family (she thinks that the prince should not be the newlywed Yan'er to go to the Qi family's room to save her face, and she can still feel the prince's favor for her), she plans to ask the prince to go to the outer study to sleep.

Ye Yichen was also a little stunned: "When did I say that I was going to the outer study?" ”

Yulan was anxious: "I'...... Can I wait for you tonight? ”

Ye Yichen laughed angrily at her: "I really treat your prince as a hungry ghost, this king doesn't need you to wait tonight, he just sleeps with you in his arms!" ”

Yulan was suddenly moved by him: "But everyone talks about women's menstruation...... Filth! Of course, Yulan also scoffed at this statement, but this society is very superstitious, and it is impossible for her to change the views of the ancients.

Ye Yichen hugged her over, and his long arms encircled her into his broad chest: "Ye never believes in that, you are the purest and cleanest in Ye's heart!" ”
