In the early days, the former Ouchi secret agent reported to the emperor what happened in the capital officials yesterday. "One more thing......" the agent said, raising an eyebrow, and before he could say anything, he couldn't help but smile.

The emperor looked at him strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's rude to be humble, please forgive the emperor."

"Say it."

"Lord Ye Xunye's wife made a big fuss about the 'drunken sky' yesterday evening and threw the table down from the upper floor. It's all over the city. ”

"Oh?" The emperor asked with interest, "Why?" ”

"Yesterday, Lord Ye and several adults from the military department were drinking in the 'Drunken Sky Tower', and they were caught by Mrs. Ye. In addition, this morning, when Lord Ye went out, there were still scratches on his face. ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, the emperor was really angry and funny, "This... How can it be? ”

When he went to the court, Ye Xun felt uncomfortable, he was now just a tasteless ruler, but the emperor asked him to go to the court. He didn't know which row or row he should stand in, so he had to find a place in the last corner to pestle. He had been keeping his head down since he came out in the morning, so few people saw the wounds on his face. He originally thought that he would be so confused today, but who knew that the emperor was in the court and was studying national affairs, and suddenly his eyes swept towards the ministers below, "What about Ye Xun?" ”

Ye Xun heard the emperor shouting to himself, and hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt down and said, "The minister is here." ”

The emperor laughed playfully, "Why did you run so far back and stand forward so that I could see the wound on your face?" As soon as the emperor said this, everyone looked at him. Everyone noticed the wound on his face, and suddenly there was a lot of discussion and snickering among the courtiers.

Ye Xun's face was flushed, and he knelt on the ground and crawled forward. He crawled slowly, not knowing where to stop. The emperor said again: "Forward! Come to the front! In the future, no matter where you do politics, you will stand at the forefront. Let me see you every day. ”

Ye Xun knelt straight in the upper study, and after this upside trouble, Ye Xun was relieved in his heart. The emperor held his head with his hand and stared at Ye Xun fixedly, and Wen Du stood next to him. The emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore, and twisted his head to the side in annoyance, "Ye Xun! You are really a disgrace to us Ming Dynasty officials! Disgrace to the men of the world! Tell me that you're not a martial artist? Why did you let a little woman scratch her face? ”

Ye Xun didn't have any expression, "Back to the emperor, the lowly kung fu is not used to deal with his wife." ”

The emperor was so angry that he almost turned his back on him, "You are still reasonable!" Even if you don't dare to fight back, you'll always hide, right? Hide? ”

"Back to the emperor, she ...... Don't let me move. Ye Xun snorted.

Wen Du almost burst out laughing.

"If she doesn't let you move, you won't move? Why did you listen to her so much? Why don't you see you being so obedient to me! The emperor was so angry that he beat his chest.

Wen Du interjected on the side, "Your Majesty, their Ye family has a family law, and they can't hide from being beaten, or the punishment will be doubled." ”

Ye Xun raised his head and glared at Wen Du, then lowered his head again.

"Really?" The emperor stared at Ye Xun with great interest, "What is family law?" Since ancient times, the king is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife. Such a, what are she waiting for? No, she trampled on the dignity of her own man so much, where did she put the Daming etiquette law? Not killing them is not enough for the people to be outraged......"

"Your Majesty!" Ye Xun bowed his head and said, "This is the minister's housework, and the minister will handle it properly." Please don't worry about the ministers. "The voice is my family affairs, and you can't take care of it. Looking at the world, there should be no second person who can dare to talk to the emperor.

The emperor looked at him with a frown, and laughed angrily, "What? Reluctant? Don't worry, this lady is gone, and I will help you find another good one. No, I'll help you find a few more. Our family Jinglin pities you for being humiliated by that all the time, and is willing to deign to be a steproom. You are really reluctant to let go of that Ye Pan clan, we won't kill her, we won't stop her, Jinglin will be on an equal footing with her when she marries......"

"Your Majesty, why do you say this again? The minister has already expressed his stance on this matter, absolutely not! Ye Xun was blessed and did not dare to have other extravagant hopes. I only want to stay with my wife until I am old. Ye Xun looked up at the emperor who was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, Weichen will retire first." After speaking, Ye Xun quickly bowed his head and retreated.

Seeing that only Ye Xun disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke, the emperor looked at Wen Du incredulously, "Did I let him go?" Did I get rejected by him again? It's just ridiculous! The emperor regretted it and said, "I don't know what's going on, and I'm talking about Jinglin's marriage again!" ”

The emperor went up to greet the Queen Mother, and Princess Jinglin was also there. The emperor felt that he didn't have the face to see Jinglin, and after saluting the queen mother, he said to Jinglin who saluted him a little apologetically, "Jinglin, hurry up, your family doesn't have to be polite." ”

The Queen Mother noticed the subtle changes in the emperor's expression, and knew that Jinglin's matter would definitely not succeed. But he had to make it clear and say, "Emperor, it seems that Jinglin's affairs are not going well?" You're just this one sister, and Jinglin is twenty years old. ”

The emperor glanced at Jing Lin, who lowered his eyes, and sighed, "This Ye Xun is soft and hard!" I'm almost by him! Sometimes I can't wait to ......"

"Brother Huang, no!" Jing Lin raised her eyes and interrupted him eagerly, "He is such a true temperament, don't force him!" That's why I like him! ”

"Jinglin, you don't know, your Tianyu brother is no longer the Tianyu brother of the past."

"I don't care, I won't marry anyone in my life except him. I'm sure one day he'll know my mind. Jinglin said stubbornly.

The Queen Mother looked at her daughter and sighed, "Since Ye Xun can't do it over there, let's find another way." Let's start with that Ye Pan. You might as well let the mourning family give it a try......"

After Ye Xun returned to the house, he saw Ruolian facing the mirror, concentrating on trying on clothes one by one, ignoring himself, and said a little lonely, "What are you doing?" Didn't you see your husband come back? ”

"See. My big baby is back! What do you think? Did the work go well today? Ruolian smiled at him.

As soon as he mentioned this, Ye Xun's head became big, and he sighed, "It's okay not to mention this." Either you just stay and have nothing to do, and you feel like you're getting in the way everywhere. There is work, which is some miscellaneous work of sweeping the floor and pouring water......"

"What? They asked me to do this? Treat us like servants? ”

"They didn't make me do it, I really don't know what I'm supposed to do? No one paid any attention to me. Tomorrow no, I'm going to go to the repair site of the Ministry of Engineering to carry wood! Ye Xun said dejectedly.

"If you want me to say, you will stay in the Ministry of Engineering in a down-to-earth manner, and you will be idle if you are not assigned a job." Ruolian took out another set of clothes, and said to Ye Xun unhurriedly while looking at the mirror and comparing them on her body.

Ye Xun was a little impatient, "What are you doing there?" Just a few clothes to try back and forth. I don't know if I came to comfort my father-in-law? ”

Ruolian glanced back at him and said with a smile: "How old are you, you still have to coax every day." Isn't this the Queen Mother going to invite me into the palace? For such a big event, you have to choose your clothes. ”

"The Queen Mother wants to invite you into the palace? Do you know what's going on? Who else was invited? Ye Xun immediately became alert.

"You don't have to ask, I don't know anything. It was this morning that a father-in-law came to the house, saying that the Queen Mother would hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow, please let me enter the palace tomorrow. I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've been invited to dinner by the Queen Mother, do you think I can not be nervous? I took out my clothes today and tried them out, and I found that I had too few clothes, and there were few decent ones. What will I wear to the banquet tomorrow? Ruolian couldn't help but complain.

"You still have less clothes? Much more than mine. None of these clothes can be worn? Ye Xun blurted out. Seeing Ruolian pull down her face and glare back at him, Ye Xun immediately changed her words and said, "My wife is good-looking, she looks good in everything!" I really don't have any clothes to wear, so I go to make a new one. Don't be reluctant, it's a big deal that our family will save a little in the next two months. ”

Ruolian said with a smile, "It's not enough to be one, and there won't be many such occasions in the future." And it's too late. Forget it, whoever made me naturally beautiful, just wear one casually. ”

Ye Xun lowered his head and snickered, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Ruolian, if the Queen Mother wants to stuff people into our house, you must not agree!" ”

"Cypriots? Stuffed with whom? Ruolian approached him with a question mark on her face.

"Woman. It's just taking a wife and taking a concubine or something, right? I'm not sure what will happen to the Queen Mother and her old man, just in case! You just have to have a number in mind. ”

"But after all, it's the Queen Mother, if her old man speaks, do I dare not agree?" Ruolian sat on Ye Xun's lap, put her arms around his neck, and said with a charming look in her eyes.

"Then you can say yes. The queen mother will reward me with a few palace maids as concubines first, since they all accept concubines, they don't care if they all marry a flat wife, and the princess will marry over. Then our house will be lively. Ye Xun leaned close to her ear and said deliberately.

Ruolian pushed him away and said angrily, "Do you wish you did that? ”

"I wish I died soon? I can't even cope with you alone, can I still live with so many wives and concubines? Ye Xun hugged Ruolian in his arms and said.

"I don't want to. If that's what you say, what can you do? "Ruolian is in trouble.

"You must not spit out yes. I couldn't stand it, so I pushed it at me, saying that I didn't want to, and let them come to me. ”

Ruolian, who came back from the palace, looked preoccupied, and when she had dinner, although Ruolian pretended to be relaxed and said that it was because she had eaten too many good things in the palace and couldn't eat it. But Ye Xun could still feel the difference in her.

In the evening, Ye Xun returned to the room, and Ruolian was sitting on the edge of the bed soaking her feet listlessly. Hearing that Ye Xun was back, she raised her head, "You're back?" ”

Ye Xun sat down next to her, "How about going to the Queen Mother today?" You didn't promise her to let the princess marry, did you? ”

"Nope. Today, the Queen Mother said that she liked me very much, let me be her goddaughter, and rewarded a lot of head jewelry, silk and two palace maids. Ruolian said very plainly, and there was no surprise in the slightest.

Ye Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you didn't agree to marry the princess." The Queen Mother has rewarded you, which is a good thing! How do you look like you're unhappy. ”

"Where am I upset? It's just thinking about things. ”

"What do you think? So seriously. Ye Xun said that he had begun to grope for Ruolian dishonestly.

"Stop for a while, I've got something to tell you." Ruolian put his hand back on his knees, stared at him and said, "I think the Queen Mother gave these two palace girls the fine skin and tender meat, which is very standard, I plan to let you take them both into the room......"

Ye Xun stood up in shock, "What did you say?" You let me take a concubine? Give back two! Whose idea was it? Queen Mother, they forced you? ”

Ruolian pulled Ye Xun to sit down, "No." Don't worry, listen to me. You see that the officials and businessmen in the capital don't have a few wives and concubines? Even Zhang Laohei, who sells vegetables on the street, married a pair of sisters......"

"What do you care about them?" Ye Xun shouted a little irritably.

Ruolian rubbed his back and soothed, "I have my plans too." You are so young, it is only a matter of time before you take a concubine. Since this is the case, it is better to collect it now, and you can continue the incense for your Ye family as soon as possible. ”

Ye Xun stared at her with some annoyance, "What do you mean sooner or later?" Who said I had to take a concubine? ”

Ruolian looked at him and said, "You don't have to be hard-mouthed, it's just a matter of time." Originally, Tao'er was the best candidate, knew the roots, and grew up with you. When I first came to your house, your father told me that the peach was for you. If you mix well, marry a proper wife and make her an aunt. If the family is in the middle of the road, she will be your daughter-in-law. But you just refused, and cheapened the little tiger kid. Now I think it is another good opportunity for the Queen Mother to give these two palace maids, and I can't miss it anymore. Do you know? The monthly quota of these two palace maids is issued by the palace. They don't need our family to support them as aunts. ”

Ye Xun said angrily, "Are you really good enough?" You count and count your own husbandry! Is there anyone like you who is someone's daughter-in-law? Asking me to marry a little wife every day? Why are you so generous? ”

"You're so young, and you're another talent. And I'm already older than you. You don't want to take a concubine now, and you will still have to marry in a few years, in this case, why don't I be a little more modest and take the initiative to bring it up. Ruolian said with a gloomy expression.

"Why is it still this set of rhetoric? Who stipulated that I must take a concubine in the future? I don't! Is this still the Pan Ruolian I know? Where's your spicy energy? You put your arms around me every night and said, "I am your heart and soul, and you love me." It turned out that it was not true! ”

"Why isn't it true?"

"Think about it, who would like to share their loved ones with others? You push me into other people's arms every day, and you still say you love me? Aren't you jealous and uncomfortable? Madam! Ye Xun changed his indifferent face, "I'm going to sleep in another room tonight?" I can't accompany you anymore! ”

Ruolian looked at him in a daze, her eyes were full of tears, her heart was struggling, and suddenly she shouted while letting tears gush out: "Ye Tianyu! If you dare to sleep with someone else, I'll chop you! ”

Ye Xun smiled, stepped forward and hugged her and kissed her vigorously, "This is the Pan Ruolian I know!" This is my good daughter-in-law! ”

Ruolian burst into tears and smiled, hugged Ye Xun's neck and kissed him on the face, and then said worriedly, "I already have a way out now, if I don't let you take a concubine again, it will be jealousy." Won't be suspended? ”

"You are my daughter-in-law, who can divorce you but me?"

"That's right. We don't have any ancestral halls, patriarchs or anything in our family, and I don't have a mother-in-law. Ruolian turned her mind and became bored again, "Oh, in fact, I don't ask for much, as long as you like it, I don't mind if you take a concubine." ”

"Why are you here again? I said that I, Ye Xun, will never take a concubine! ”

"You're just hard-mouthed! What if I can't have children? You don't mind, I can't explain it to your father, and what about the emperor and the queen mother? ”

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's hurry up and make children! Ye Xun squeezed his eyebrows at Ruolian and said.

After the two of them had a rainy day, Ruolian suddenly cried on Ye Xun's chest.

Ye Xun was taken aback, "What's wrong?" Why cry? ”

"Tianyu, I lied to you." Ruolian cried and said intermittently, "Today, the Queen Mother invited me to a banquet, which is clearly a Hongmen banquet." In addition to the princess and the two ladies in the palace, there is no family member of the official. The Queen Mother was very kind to me at first, and said that she would fall in love with me and accept me as her daughter. Later, when you mentioned to me about marrying a princess, I can only push it on you as you say. The Queen Mother also said that after watching you grow up since childhood, your family is originally thin, and you can't break it off. She finally gave us three months, and if my stomach didn't believe after the time, she would be the master of marrying a concubine for you! Those two palace maids should be the vanguard of the princess, and when the three-month period is up, you will be considered a group of wives and concubines, and our family will be really lively. ”

Ye Xun was stunned and wanted to say a few words about Ruolian, but he couldn't bear to see her crying so sadly. He patted her on the back and soothed her. After a while, Ye Xun sighed, "I know that she is the Queen Mother after all, and she came prepared, you definitely have no way to refuse." ”

"I really have nothing to say, what the Queen Mother said is not leaky. It's all for you and your Ye family. What can I say? What to do? Are we just going to resign ourselves to our fate? ”

"Okay, stop crying. I cried so much that I was distressed. It's not a foregone conclusion! ”

Ruolian stopped crying and looked at him with earnest eyes, "It's already like this, is there still room for maneuver?" ”

Ye Xun lowered his head, and then raised his head and smiled evilly at her, "If it's a big deal, I'll work hard, day and night, and strive to plant the seedlings in these three months." ”

Ruolian's face turned red, and she beat him with her fist and said, "You hate it!" I thought you had a good idea? I haven't planted it for so long, and it can be grown in three months? ”

Ye Xun grabbed her hand, put her back on his chest, and said cheaply, "Don't fight, it's broken, who will farm the land?" We can only do our best now and obey the destiny of heaven. Or, do it again? ”

Ruolian blushed and nodded.
