CHAPTER XXXVII
As soon as Wen Du entered the study, he saw that the emperor's face was pale, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and he was panting, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”
The emperor pointed to the tea on the table, and Wen Du hurriedly served it with both hands. The emperor took the tea, and because his hands trembled violently, the teacup and the lid collided. Wen Du hurriedly helped the emperor take off the lid of the cup, and the emperor raised his head to drink the cup of tea, and threw the teacup to the ground, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! ”
"Your Majesty, who made you angry like this?" Wendu asked cautiously.
"Who else can there be besides Ye Tianyu?"
"How dare he?"
"What would he not dare! I am also responsible for this matter, he hinted to me before that he didn't want to marry the princess, I felt that I still had to have a little face as a royal family, Jing Lin couldn't find what kind of concubine she was a princess, plus Ye Shiqing's book, so I impulsively gave him a marriage to the Pan family. I didn't expect my sister to be so infatuated, but he didn't want to marry! I am only her own sister, how can I not even satisfy her long-cherished wish? I was cheeky, disregarding the royal dignity and discussing with him with kind words, if I refused to divorce my wife, let our princess marry her and be an equal to the Pan family, and it would be okay to be an equal wife. ”
"What did he say?"
"Swear to death! He almost choked me to death with a word just now! How? Did he think I wouldn't dare to kill him? The emperor slowly calmed down and said, "I originally planned to promote him to be a squire in the military department, but now it seems that his experience is far from enough." This waist card that can enter the palace at any time is also for him, and it is given to you now. The emperor threw the waist card to Wendu, and then said, "The oracle of the Emperor assigned Ye Tianyu to the Six Ministries, the Six Departments, the Duchayuan, the Dali Temple, the Taichang Temple, the Guanglu Temple, the Taifu Temple, the Honglu Temple, the James Mansion, and the Hanlin Academy, and they need to go to the court on time. After speaking, the emperor smiled, "I am happy to think that he has to be called by people in any department he goes to." A few years have passed since this lap was done, humming is so relieving! ”
Ye Xun received the emperor's dictation, and the whole person was blinded, and he didn't recover for a long time. Discouraged, lost, wanting to cry without tears, and suffering words...... Many emotions came to my heart, mixed tastes......
Several of his colleagues who were close to him were also shocked, and it took a while to remember to come forward to comfort him. "Don't be sad, it's definitely temporary. Maybe the emperor has other plans. Lao Li said.
"It was a surprise. Didn't you hear that all the official certificates of your military department have been printed? Have you done something to offend the emperor recently? "The Great Ecliptic.
"I guess that nine times out of ten this is related to Ye Xun's marriage. Everyone knows that Ye Xun is the emperor's concubine for the princess, but he married when he came back from a year out? Do you think the emperor can not be angry? Xiao Zheng said.
Hearing this, Ye Xun was moved, and he turned his face to glare at him, "Don't talk nonsense!" My family was set by my father at an early age. I am still married by the emperor. As for the reason, Ye Xun knew it, but he didn't want everyone to speculate, which would damage the royal dignity and the dignity of the princess.
"And why do you say?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Ye Xun looked depressed, and he couldn't say why.
"Whatever! Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion, so let him go. Why don't we go to the restaurant today and get drunk and forget all our troubles? Lao Li said.
"I think it's a good offer! Ye Xun came back, we haven't picked him up yet, just together! Rhubarb said.
Everyone agreed.
Only Ye Xun muttered, "I'm ...... I'm not going. Go ahead! ”
"What do you mean, for you we are holding this game! You're not going? Xiao Zheng said unhappily.
"Aren't you afraid of your daughter-in-law?" Rhubarb laughed.
"How so?" Lao Li said, "I heard that Ye Xun's daughter-in-law is much older than him. People say that the eldest wife is the old mother. As far as our Ye Xun's ability and appearance are concerned, his daughter-in-law is not allowed to hurt him to the bones. ”
Ye Xun's face turned red, "Lao Li, you don't have a serious attitude all day long!" ”
"What Lao Li said is not unreasonable! How could Ye Xun be afraid of his daughter-in-law? Walk! Let's go, drink and go! Xiao Zheng said.
"Let's go! Who's afraid of whom? Ye Xun went out.
Ruolian had an overheated fight with the ladies in the capital, and she was ashamed to see people before. Few people know that there is still a person like her in the capital. Now it's different, her husband is young and handsome, outstanding in all aspects, how many people envy her! She walked on the road with her head held high.
Ruolian and a few ladies went out shopping today, and it was not the end of the day, and the sun was still dazzling. "Mrs. Ye is really blessed! Lord Ye is young and promising, and he is a talent, which is really enviable. Mrs. Zhen said.
Ruolian heard a lot of such words, but she didn't speak and just smiled.
"Mrs. Zhen wants to say that Mrs. Ye is a good fortune, right?" Mrs. Li covered her smile and smiled.
Ruolian blushed and glanced at her, "Why do we talk about him when we go shopping?" Where I am blessed, it is my life of worry! ”
Mrs. Feng pursed her lips and said, "Don't be born in the blessing and don't know the blessing." Look at which family must not have a room or concubine, your family is the most outstanding, but there is no one in the room. Who do you call who is not hot-eyed? ”
Zhen Niangzi disagreed, "I don't envy her for this matter, they just got married, and the heat hasn't passed yet." You've been waiting for a year and a half, maybe more than anyone else. As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but laugh, "Just with Lord Ye's talent, if you want to be a girl who wants to be his concubine, I'm afraid you will have to queue up." ”
Ruolian's face was a little ugly, and she pretended to be generous and said, "If he wants to find it, he will look for it, and I won't stop it." ”
Zhen Niangzi said, "That's right, I thought about it early, and I was transparent early." The main thing is that it's useless to block it. also has a bad reputation for jealousy. ”
"It's time soon, it's time for a few of you who have public office to go home? Why don't you get back to cooking? Mrs. Feng asked.
"Our family Ye Xun won't come back for dinner today." Wakaren smiled.
"So is our Lao Li. So let's go shopping with confidence and boldness. ”
As soon as Ye Xun went upstairs, he found that there were still two girls sitting in the private room with wine, and he was suddenly a little uneasy. dragged Lao Li out of the private room, "Why did you still call the girl?" ”
"How boring is it for the four big men to drink?" Lao Li squeezed his eyebrows at him and said.
"It's different if you have a girl!" Ye Xun was a little embarrassed. "Why don't you let them go?"
At this time, Xiao Zheng and Rhubarb went upstairs, "What are you two muttering here?" ”
"I called two girls to drink with us, but Ye Xun had to let me quit. I paid for it all. Lao Li saw the two people and said deliberately.
"There's a girl? That's great! What to return? You don't have to accompany us! Let's go, go inside and have a look. Rhubarb was very excited when he heard the girl.
"If you come, you will be safe! Let's go, Lord Ye! Xiao Zheng pulled Ye Xun into the room together......
Ruolian and her party walked to the foot of the 'Drunken Sky Tower', and Mrs. Li looked at the plaque above her head and said to everyone, "They are drinking in this shop?" ”
"Who? Your Master Li? Ruoren asked.
Mrs. Li was a little strange, "You don't know? Your Lord Ye and my Lao Li. Our old Li came back and said that he, Lord Ye, Lord Zheng and Lord Huang would come here to drink tonight. ”
"Impossible!" Ruolian denied it, "Ye Xun asked someone to come back and say that there was a banquet in the palace tonight, so I won't come back for dinner." ”
Mrs. Li smiled, "Where did this banquet come from?" Lie to you, right? Besides, what's wrong with men drinking some alcohol outside? ”
"The Ye family's family rules don't allow you to drink in a restaurant!" Ruolian was a little out of breath.
Zhen Niangzi said in a sharp voice, "Yo, this is too harsh!" No wonder Lord Ye wants to lie and lie to you. What's the big deal about going to a restaurant for a drink? Ruolian, I said you can't be too strict with the minister! ”
Ruolian's face was a little unbearable, "Not allowing you to drink in the restaurant is not a rule set for him, I had it before I came to the Ye family." Besides, how do you know that he lied to me? The emperor didn't invite your father-in-law, maybe he invited him alone. ”
Mrs. Li was agitated there, "You still don't believe it? She shouted upstairs, "Li Yan! Are you on top? ”
Their private room was on the second floor facing the street, and when they heard the shout, Lao Li poked his head out, "It's here." At first glance, it was his wife and several other ladies, "Madam, why are you here?" ”
"Li Yan, is Lord Ye with you?" Mrs. Li asked.
Lao Li looked at his wife, then at Ruolian, hesitated for a moment before nodding at them.
Mrs. Li looked proud, "How is it?" ”
If Ruolian's anger 'rubs the ground' up, she will go upstairs. Pulled by several ladies, "save some face for your man outside." Don't go, let Lord Ye not get off the stage. ”
"That's right. What's wrong with men coming out for some drink? ”
Ruolian struggled to break away from a few people, "Don't worry about our family's affairs!" "Where are the ladies Ruolian's opponents, watching her 'climb and climb' to the second floor.
Ruolian's appearance made Ye Xun frightened. He never expected Ruolian to come up, and he stammered when he spoke, "Husband...... Person. ”
Ruolian sneered, "Yo, what about drinking?" Who told me that there was a banquet in the palace? She glanced at the girl at the dinner table, and immediately became angry, and she couldn't pretend anymore, "You still called the girl?!" Ye Xun, you are really good, you dare to come out and drink flower wine! ”
"It's not. Don't get me wrong, ma'am. Ye Xun waved his hand again and again.
The others also helped to persuade, "Mrs. Ye, we are just a few colleagues who came out to get together. Nothing? ”
"Brother and sister, don't be angry."
Ruolian didn't hear it, but just glared at Ye Xun fiercely. Ye Xun approached her and begged her in a low voice, "Madam, please, save me some face outside." Go home and let you be punished. ”
"Yo, this lady, why is she so fierce? How normal is it for a man to have a drink outside, as for it? A wine lady said delicately.
This statement was like adding fuel to the fire, Ruolian suddenly became angry, "Is there any room for you to speak here?!" She glared at Ye Xun again, "I told you to drink!" She lifted the small wine table on the dining table and threw it downstairs with the wine. Ye Xun knew that he couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly covered his eyes. Immediately the sound of falling objects and falling apart was heard downstairs, as well as the screams of people.
Everyone was stunned, and Ye Xun's three colleagues looked at Ruolian with their mouths wide open. Downstairs and upstairs gathered a few people to watch the excitement.
Ye Xun hurriedly probed and asked the people below, "Did you hurt anyone?" The people below waved at him. Ye Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruolian was about to fall again, but Ye Xun stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Madam, don't throw it again." You're going to hurt pedestrians on the road. Shall we go home? Ye Xun begged her with his eyes.
Ruolian's face was gloomy, and she said viciously, "Okay! Go home! ”
Ruolian and Ye Xun were about to go downstairs, but the owner of the restaurant stepped forward to stop them, "Both, who will pay for the broken things?" ”
"Whoever takes my father-in-law out for a drink will pay! You go to the three of them! Ruolian shouted angrily.
The boss had to look at the three people nodly, and when he saw someone nodding at him, he was relieved.
On the way, two people came home one after the other, and under the discussion and pointing of many people.
As soon as she entered the house, Ruolian closed the door and shouted, "Family heirloom!" ”
"Madame, don't! Let's go back to the house and say, please. Ye Xun tugged at Ruolian's sleeve and begged.
Ruolian was unmoved, and shouted to Xiaohu and Tao'er who were looking at them, "Didn't you hear what I said?" Heirloom! Let the pillars come over! ”
Ye Xun hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled awkwardly at Xiaohu, "The two of us are joking." "Then pull Ruolian into the house." Please, stop shouting. ”
After entering the bedroom, Ye Xun let go of his hand and closed the door, Ruolian said angrily, "Why are you covering my mouth?" ”
Ye Xun pressed Ruolian on the bed, and immediately knelt down to admit his mistake, "Madam, we have a conflict to solve in the house, and I will rely on you for everything." ”
"Hmph, your father said every day that I was fooling, but this time I won't fool! Heirloom bar. Let the column perform. I don't care! Ruolian said with a blushing face.
"Madame, don't! I was wronged. You can hit me a few times. The heirloom law still lets the pillars come? He's going to beat me to death, don't you feel sorry? I know it's wrong, I won't dare next time, can you hit me twice to dissipate my anger? Ye Xun rubbed his head against Ruolian, put his face in front of her and let him hit him.
"You're mad at me today! Go out for a drink and find a girl to accompany you! Still lying! See if I don't smoke you to death! Ruolian was ruthless, stretched out her slap and pumped, just a few times, the slap was raised in mid-air and did not move.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xun was a little strange, "Just a few strokes are reluctant?" ”
Ruolian bit her lip and looked at him, as if frightened, "Yours...... The face is broken. ”
"Huh? How so? I didn't fight very hard! ”
"It was cut by my fingernails."
Ye Xun hurriedly got up and looked in the mirror. He took the mirror and looked at it again, saw two shocking blood marks on his face, and said sadly, "Pan Ruolian! How do you let me meet people? ”
Ruolian also felt that it was inappropriate, and said with some humility, "You made me lose all my face today, what face do you want?" ”
Ye Xun glared at her angrily, covered his face and silently shed tears alone......
Ruolian felt distressed when she saw it, "This time it was me who was careless." I'm sorry, I'm going to find some medicine and see if I can make it get better quickly. ”
"No, you don't! It's nothing, it's mostly on the face! It's shameful enough to be in the restaurant today, and I'm going out with this tomorrow, hmph, the whole capital has to know that I, Ye Xun, married a tigress! I'm afraid of my wife! Is this what you want? Ye Xun said with grief and indignation.
"I really didn't mean to. All you know is me, are you doing the right thing today? ”
"I'm here today for a reason. Originally, the official certificate of the squire of my promotion department was printed, but in the afternoon, I suddenly received an edict from the emperor, saying that I should go to various ministries to observe politics in the future, and it may be a few years to do it! ”
"Huh? How so? Ruolian was also shocked.
"I feel uncomfortable, Lao Li and the others want to drink together to comfort me. I was afraid that the explanation would not be clear, so I first asked someone to say that there was a banquet in the palace, and I thought that I would come back and tell you what happened, where did I want to lie to you? As for the two girls who accompanied the wine, they were called by Lao Li, I didn't know, but the money was paid, and I couldn't say anything. Your father-in-law was wronged outside, and you still treated me like this when you came back? Ye Xun complained 'heartbrokenly'.
Ruolian stroked his back and comforted him, "Okay, it's me who is bad this time." I apologize. Don't be sad. But why did the emperor suddenly do this to you? ”
"It's not strange for you to say it, but the emperor agreed to our marriage at that time. It's only been a long time since we've been married! He even asked me to marry another princess! also said that you and the princess should be equal wives regardless of size. I rejected ......"
"Huh? Your Majesty, you dare to refuse. No wonder he was angry? Ye Xun, after all, my arms can't twist my thighs, in fact, if the princess marries, it's not impossible for me to be commensurate with her sisters. ”
"Are you stupid? What flat wife? My father has to salute when he sees her, how can he be peaceful? ”
Ruolian took him in her arms and patted him gently on the back, "Okay, okay, let Xianggong be wronged." ”
"How are you going to let me go out tomorrow to meet people? This injury is not good, but it is on the face. I don't want to live anymore! Ye Xun saw that Ruolian was completely weak, so he began to play coquettishly.
Ruolian coaxed him for half a night with kind words, and this matter was over......
At breakfast the next day, Ye Shiqing saw the injury on Ye Xun's face and asked Xiang Ruolian, "What's going on?" ”
Ruolian smiled embarrassedly, "When I punished him last night, I accidentally scratched my fingernails. ”
Ye Shiqing nodded a little comforted, and added, "Try not to slap your face in the future, it won't look good when you go out." ”
"You see, my father can't stand it! Pay attention next time! Ye Xun looks like someone is supporting him, and the villain is ambitious.
Who knew that Ye Shiqing said again, "He has rough skin and thick flesh, and others can't see it, so it's okay if it's broken." ”
"Father!" Ye Xun complained.
Ruolian covered her mouth and smiled, "Got it, master." ”
As soon as he thought of going to do politics today, Ye Xun had no appetite at all. He put down the bowl, "Ahhhh I'll have to report to the Ministry of Industry later, and I'm not going to eat it. ”
"How can you eat so little? Don't take anything to heart, you still have to eat. Here, eat more. ”
Ye Xun frowned and shook his head.
"Would you like to take two more bites?" Wakaren is like coaxing a child.
Ye Xun had to reluctantly eat two bites, and then got up, "Don't eat, let's go." ”
"Take one last bite and I'll feed you." Ruolian handed over a spoonful of rice.
Ye Xun said coquettishly, "If you don't eat it, you can't eat it." ”
"Eat?" Ruolian also smiled at him like him, "Just one bite." ”
"Okay." Ye Xun opened his mouth and took the rice into his mouth.
Ruolian wiped his mouth with her fingers, and the two of them looked at each other with eyebrows......
"Uh-huh!" Ye Shiqing really couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice. "It's not early, why don't you leave quickly?"
After Ye Xun left, Ye Shiqing looked at Ruolian and couldn't help but complain, "Look at the two of you guys, what do you look like!" ”
Ruolian sneered, "Master, why can't you see the two of us?" ”
"You just get used to him, I think you're being taken to death by him now."
"He's my father-in-law, I'm not distressed, who is distressed! His life is sad enough now, because he doesn't want to marry a princess and be embarrassed by the emperor. You can't have no good days at all. ”
"You two can do it yourself. I don't care! I've told you what I need to say anyway. ”
