Chapter 931: Gardening
None of the powerful ministers and heroes in this world are easy to get along with, all of them are ruthless, insidious and cunning, as long as they get a little touched, no one has ever been able to get out of the whole body.
Either they were drained of their value and then discarded, or they became one of the many henchmen of the party.
Ye Qing's words made Tang Wan's face turn pale in an instant, and a feeling of being difficult to ride a tiger rose in her heart at the same time.
Ye Qing's seemingly enlightened and generous words were by no means sincere words for Tang Wan and his wife who were in this situation.
Tang Wan would never believe that Ye Qing's last sentence "If I don't agree, I will be today, we haven't seen each other" was from the bottom of her heart, this sentence was completely a polite remark on the surface, and it was just a face room for them to stand on his side in the future.
Since he didn't want to be co-opted by Shi Miyuan, and later asked Ye Qing for help, how could Ye Qing let go of such a great opportunity to win over the two of them for his own use?
If the meat that was sent to the door slipped away from his mouth, Ye Qing would probably have to pump himself several big mouths. What's more, if he really had such noble sentiments and virtues, he Ye Qing would not have climbed to such a high position today, and I am afraid that he would have been broken by the four words of high righteousness and friendship.
Without looking at Tang Wan's pale face and some pleading eyes, Ye Qing, who got up and walked out of the tavern, stood quietly on the side of the street, watching Zhong Silkworm accompany Tang Wan out of the tavern, and then looked back at him by the carriage.
Ye Qing lowered his head and stopped looking at Tang Wan's pleading eyes again.
Tang Wan turned around, stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, and finally pulled the curtain and squeezed out a somewhat ugly smile at Ye Qing.
Tang Wan and his wife, it was not so much that Ye Qing deliberately co-opted and used them, but that they and his wife took the initiative to send them to the door, not wanting to be used by Shi Miyuan, and in the case of not wanting to have anything to do with Ye Qing, they wanted Ye Qing to help them solve the troubles that Shi Miyuan brought them.
It can be said that he wants to do a trick left and right, but in the end, he can't steal the chicken, but he will lose a handful of rice.
And the current situation even made them lose their choice, so they could only resign themselves to standing on Ye Qing's side and doing what Ye Qing said.
Zhao Shicheng saw Tang Wan's face that wanted to cry and laugh at first sight, and after thanking Zhong Silkworm, he hurriedly grabbed Tang Wan's hand and returned to the inner hall of the backyard: "Is it ...... How far from what we imagined? ”
Tang Wan nodded bitterly, revealing an embarrassed smile: "Maybe the concubine shouldn't go to Ye Qing, and thought that he would be thinking about the little friendship with our couple, even if he won't help our couple, it shouldn't be difficult for us." ”
Zhao Shicheng leaned back in the chair with a frustrated expression, and said after a long breath: "Actually, when you went out, I expected this possibility. If it were me Ye Qing, I would definitely take this opportunity to do the same. ”
Looking at Tang Wan, who seemed to have done something wrong and was a little sad and remorseful, Zhao Shicheng grabbed Tang Wan's hand, squeezed out a smile and said with relief: "Actually, this is already a good result, after all, compared to being won over by Shi Miyuan, now this can make us feel more at ease, isn't it?" Although there is a grudge between Ye Qing and Yi Guogong, it ...... Taking a step back, at least he is on the side of the royal clan in the matter of King Qing, Chongguo Gong, and Huang Guifei, isn't he? ”
"Ye Qing is no longer the person who was still a little sincere back then, maybe ......." Tang Wan looked up at Zhao Shicheng, paused and said, "It's because the concubine is too conceited, and she believes in Ye Qing." ”
Tang Wan shook her head helplessly, the reason why she dared to find Ye Qing was because of the words of the two hairpin-headed phoenixes, which made her mistakenly think that Ye Qing knew her very well, and even regarded her as a confidant in some secrets deep in her heart.
But in the end, her sensibility as a woman was defeated in the face of cruel reality.
For two days in a row, Zhong Qing, Fang Fei and Tao Qian were all busy moving from Tonghuifang to Zhonghe Lane, but only Ye Qing seemed to have nothing to do for a day, and from time to time took out the will of the palace, thinking about whether to enter the palace at this time.
But not waiting for him to be already fast
To make a decision in the empty study, Zhu Ye'er actually came to the Ye Mansion in Tonghuifang in person.
"The Queen, please come into the palace for a while." Zhu Ye'er was dressed in a dignified and generous palace dress and saluted Ye Qing.
"Did you say anything?" Ye Qing shook the will he received yesterday in his hand and asked.
"The queen didn't tell the slave maid that the queen didn't wait for Lord Ye to come yesterday, so she asked the slave maid to invite Lord Ye into the palace today." Zhu Ye'er's face was calm, but in Ye Qing's eyes, she looked a little cold, as if she owed her money.
Ye Qing nodded, he didn't intend to embarrass Zhu Ye'er, and the people even prepared the carriage outside, so he couldn't help Ye Qing continue to consume it.
followed Zhu Ye'er into the carriage, obviously it was impossible for Zhu Ye'er to sit outside the carriage, and he sat alone in the carriage, so in the carriage, which was not very spacious, Ye Qing, who was tall and had long hands and long feet, occupied more space, so that Zhu Ye'er could only nest in one corner, and from time to time with the carriage swaying, the whole person would lean over to Ye Qing's side.
Zhu Ye'er, who tried her best to control her body, tried not to get too close to Ye Qing, but the carriage ran fast, so Zhu Ye'er didn't know how many times she "took the initiative" to pierce Ye Qing's arms along the way.
When the carriage stopped at He Ningmen, Ye Qing looked at Zhu Ye'er who looked embarrassed and blushing, and was about to get up, and then reached out and patted Zhu Ye'er's shoulder, which frightened Zhu Ye'er and almost fell into his arms again.
"Do you want to calm your mind?" Ye Qing's eyes were clear and frank, and he asked meaningfully.
Zhu Ye'er was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood that if she took Ye Qing to see the queen with this embarrassed expression, I was afraid that it would cause the queen to misunderstand, and I was afraid that she would ...... at that time.
"Thank you, Lord Ye." Zhu Ye'er nodded obediently, and then sat on the side and tried to take a deep breath, calming down her nervous and embarrassing mood along the way.
Ye Qing is not only a powerful minister now, but also has a better relationship with the queen than her Zhu Ye'er, so it is conceivable that once the extremely jealous queen sees her slightly embarrassed appearance, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not think that she is suspected of seducing Ye Qing along the way.
Zhu Ye'er, who calmed down, took Ye Qing and did not go to the palace where Li Fengniang was, but took Ye Qing and walked straight in the direction of Yujin Garden.
Along the way, the entire palace was still as calm as before, and there was no trace of grief that was revealed because of Huang Guifei's violent illness and death.
Zhu Ye'er, who was walking in front, explained in a low voice as if he knew what Ye Qing was thinking: "The Funing Hall where the Holy Lord is located has already arranged everything for Huang Guifei, and now it is a plain place, and the rest of the place is ...... because of the approaching of the Great Dynasty." ”
"Are you afraid of upsetting the queen? So only the Funing Hall will be like that, and the rest of the places will naturally be as usual, right? Ye Qing looked at the three words of Yujin Garden, and took a deep breath, this place is not a good memory for him, and Li Fengniang arranged for herself to meet him here again, I don't know what the hell is going on, can't this girl settle down a little!
Zhu Ye'er neither admitted nor denied it, looked at the flower-paved door of Yujin Garden, and said calmly: "The queen let you enter Yujin Garden alone, so I also ask Lord Ye to forgive the slave and maid for being rude and not sending the adult in." ”
Ye Qing looked at Zhu Ye'er, then at the door of the Yujin Garden, and then nodded lightly, and said, "I know, I'm tired." ”
Under Zhu Ye'er's gaze, Ye Qing slowly walked into Yujin Garden alone, and did not see any eunuchs, palace maids, or even the shadow of Queen Li Fengniang.
The few guards and pestles were in various inconspicuous corners, trying to weaken their impact on the natural beauty of Yujin Garden Avenue, and they also turned a blind eye to Ye Qing who entered Yujin Garden, as if Ye Qing was a transparent person.
Walking alone on the path of Yujin Garden, where flowers and birds are singing, from time to time I can see some animals in captivity, and look at him curiously.
Then he squirmed his lips again and began to eat intently.
"Who are you......?" A somewhat immature voice sounded not far in front of Ye Qing.
Through a sea of flowers in front of him, Ye Qing saw a child in his late teens, who was looking at him curiously with his eyes wide open at the moment.
The child was richly dressed, his face was fair and handsome, and his bright eyes were full of curiosity and exploration about Ye Qing at this time.
"Who are you?" After Ye Qing instantly guessed the identity of the little guy in front of him, he asked with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm having fun here...... I am...... I'm a British duke. ”
"I'm here to find someone, I'm Lu Guogong." Ye Qing approached Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo was obviously not used to Ye Qing approaching him, so he involuntarily took two steps back, and a pair of clear eyes began to carry a hint of vigilance.
"And who are you looking for? This is Yujin Garden, there are no people, only ....... Zhao Kuo turned his head to look around, and then said, "There are only some animals here." ”
Today's Zhao Kuo looks like he is in his teens, and his small body looks slightly thin, but with a pair of smart, clear eyes and a somewhat handsome face, he looks a little bookish.
"Well, actually, I'm here for you." Ye Qing also turned his head to look around, and no one disturbed the conversation between the two of them, so he sat down directly on a stone next to him and said.
Zhao Kuo frowned, and then continued to look at Ye Qing vigilantly, he had seen many officials, but he had never been so casual in front of him like this person today.
And what made Zhao Kuo feel even more uncomfortable was that this person had been staring at him since he saw him, as if he was a flower, as if he could see something else.
"Do I know you?" Zhao Kuo was still standing not far away, frowning and asking.
"I should say I know, but it was when you were a child, maybe you don't remember." Ye Qing said with a smile.
He really couldn't see whether Zhao Kuo in front of him was similar to himself, or, for some reason, he felt very much like himself no matter how he looked at it, just like the two little guys in Yangzhou, who obviously looked like their mother, but in Ye Qing's eyes, he just felt as handsome as himself.
"And what's your name, and why do you keep staring at me?" Zhao Kuo's small hands, which were originally placed on his sides, began to become uneasy, and he secretly twisted his clothes and asked.
"My name is Ye Qing, do you have any impression?" Ye Qing asked.
Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Who asked you to come here?" ”
"Your queen mother."
"The Queen Mother is not here, why did you come here?" Zhao Kuo still shook his head and asked.
Ye Qing spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, do you still have a sister, what about your sister?" ”
"Wen An? Qi'an? Zhao Kuo was stunned and asked.
"Didn't Princess Wen'an come here with you?" Ye Qing asked.
"No, I'm here on my own."
"Oh......." Ye Qing nodded, and then the two fell into a strange silence, and for a while, facing the British prince Zhao Kuo in front of him, Ye Qing didn't know what topic to find.
And Zhao Kuo, from the beginning, was also interested in Ye Qing, and slowly transferred to the roaring white elephant not far away.
"I'll accompany you over to see the white elephant, or...... If you're willing, how about I accompany you to Yujin Garden? Ye Qing followed Zhao Kuo's gaze and looked in the direction of the elephant's roar and asked.
"You...... Aren't you afraid that this is the palace? Zhao Kuo's eyes widened, it was the first time he had met an official of the court who dared to be so calm and relaxed in front of him.
"Where you come, you are safe." Ye Qing took the lead in getting up, and then walked in the direction of the elephant's roar, Zhao Kuo hesitated, and finally let go of his little hand, and in a nervous and cramped way, he twisted out the wrinkled clothes, and couldn't help but follow Ye Qing, walking in the direction where the white elephant was.
