Yinhua listened, and the little short legs shook more happily. She waved her hand and said, "This adult doesn't have to worry, the big butler said that Emperor Wen will have a will to send someone to Bihai soon, and the adult only needs to take the initiative to ask for help." ”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Yinhua and said with a smile: "Okay, since he is clever, then I won't ask the trick of this, just wait for the opportunity to go to Bihai and ask him for advice in person." ”

Yinhua jumped out of the chair, took the apricot strip into her arms, and said with a wink: "So, if you want to bring it, I have already brought it, but I will go first." ”

Ye Zhiqiu stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, I still have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Yinhua was stunned.

"I guess you heard it too, General Cao said that Xiaochen is very close to the Qingyang princess Zhu Zhitong, do you know?"

Yinhua's eyes spun around, and her little head suddenly shook, connecting the two small braids at the back of her head, like a rattle.

"I don't know anything." The tone is extremely serious and serious.

Ye Zhiqiu was secretly amused in his heart, since the day he met Yinhua, he had never seen her so serious, and sure enough, this expression was not suitable for this baby face. Regardless of whether what she said is true or not, it seems that what Lao Cao said is true.

"Then let me ask you again, is Xiaochen okay in the blue sea?"

"yes, yes. Don't worry, the butler is more worried about his safety than you. Before entering the palace, I asked me to secretly protect him every day. But the little boy is really smart, last time he let the thief take it, and I didn't need to make a move, so I dealt with the thief. ”

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help laughing this time, pointed at her and said, "You little monkey, don't blame me, Xiaochen has been smart since he was a child, but he is a scholar, where can he deal with the thief?" ”

Yinhua was a little unconvinced when she heard this, and pouted: "Hey, don't say it." He is not just a scholar now, before I came out, I heard that Zhu Zhiling also asked him to go to Nanhua Island with Zhu Zhitong, so the big housekeeper also asked Tiehua to pass on a few handgun skills to him, although it was not so good...... You also know my sister's ability, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, and the little boy is very different now......" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly covered the cherry mouth, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Zhiqiu very embarrassed.

Ye Zhiqiu stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, the two of them also went to Nanhua Island together, it seems that this relationship is indeed extraordinary." I just want to ask, is this also what you big butler means? ”

Yinhua looked at him blankly, and didn't react for a while, he asked whether the close relationship between the two was the meaning of the big housekeeper, or whether it was the meaning of the big housekeeper to go to Nanhua Island together. Although in fact these two things are the same, when the words come out, they become:

"I ...... I don't know anything. "He looked serious again.

Ye Zhiqiu had already seen the clue from her face, and he didn't bother to ask any more, so he only smiled and said, "Okay, I've worked hard for you, and I've made another trip through mountains and rivers." This time I came to the imperial capital of Wanhua, but there are other errands? ”

Yinhua was relieved to see that he didn't ask about Su Xiaochen, nodded and replied, "Zhangren Palace." ”

Ye Zhiqiu sighed, closed his eyes, stopped answering, and when he opened his eyes again, he was the only one left in the hall.

Ye Zhiqiu continued to drink tea, thinking about the words of Fang Cai Lao Cao and Yinhua repeatedly.

Xiaochen and Zhu Zhitong of the blue sea are so close, is it a coincidence? Or was it a deliberate move by that person? But Zhu Zhitong is only the third daughter of Emperor Ming, if that person is deliberate, what is the intention? Do you want to exclude yourself? Or do you want to hide all the birds and cross the river and tear down the bridge?

In any case, he still has a secret in his hands, a secret that that person must not have anticipated. At least this secret can keep him from falling behind in this game.

Ye Zhiqiu slowly drank half a cup of residual tea in his hand, and only then did footsteps sound outside the hall.

"Daddy, we're back." Before anyone arrived, a swallow-like voice had already arrived. Ye Zhiqiu saw that it was his daughter Ye Yin. Holding a handkerchief in one hand and wiping sweat, he picked up the teapot on the table with the other, and poured a few sips on the spout.

Ye Zhiqiu shouted in a low voice: "What kind of system! ”

Ye Yin said coquettishly disapprovingly: "Isn't it that the people are not here these days, and no one has seen it, Dad, why are you making a fuss." ”

"You're a girl, you behave so indecently, and you dare to talk back?" Ye Zhiqiu's face sank.

"Hey, okay, okay. Master, what's wrong with you today, the anger is coming up. When Mrs. Ye stepped into the hall, she saw that the father and daughter were arguing in red, and they hurriedly came forward to persuade them.

Ye Zhiqiu was still angry: "She is already sixteen years old, and she is still so unruly, who will dare to marry her in the future." ”

Ye Yin's face turned red, she snorted, and ran out of the hall. Mrs. Ye made a new cup of tea for her husband, sat down slowly and asked, "You have never cared about these things, why did you suddenly mention marriage today?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "How can I not care, but I thought that everything was under control before, and there would be no accidents." But now......" He glanced at his wife, and stopped talking.

Mrs. Ye was a little surprised and asked, "You are so uneasy today, but what news is coming from the blue sea?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu stretched out his hand to signal her not to say any further, and said in a low voice: "Xiaochen is also not young, and when he goes to Bihai, it is inevitable that he will be confused. I heard that he and Princess Qingyang of the blue sea have been very close recently, and I am a little worried. ”

Mrs. Ye smiled bitterly and said with relief: "Master, I know that you want to match Yin'er to Xiaochen." It's just that the most pressing thing isn't the children's own meaning? Why bother yourself? ”

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard this, his face turned purple for a while, and he forcibly held back a breath of anger in his chest, and lowered his voice and said, "What do they mean? What do they mean? If Yin'er can't marry Xiaochen, what are you and I doing incognito in this Wanhua Emperor Capital for 30 years? How can I be worthy of your father's instructions before he died? What face will I have to ...... when I die?"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Ye's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she saw that Ye Zhiqiu actually stopped talking, and she didn't dare to say any more. But it was only for a moment, Mrs. Ye regained her composure, she stood up and walked to her husband's side, put her thin face against his ear and whispered:

"Zhiqiu, I know that you are suffering in your heart, and I also know that you will never forget your father's words. But things in the world are impermanent, and the rise and fall of prosperity and decline are all reincarnation. Your family has been loyal for generations, so my father will trust me to you with confidence. It's just that if you have to force the opposite, I'm afraid that you will draw water with a bamboo basket, and the people will be empty. Even I can see those old things, what else do you have to see. ”

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at her coldly and said, "You actually said such a forgetful thing, if it weren't for the fact that you were your father's daughter, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to say more than half a word to you." ”

Mrs. Ye laughed softly, she patted her husband's shoulder gently and said, "But, I'm still my father's daughter after all, right?" ”

With a long sigh, silence returned to the hall.

After a long time, Ye Zhiqiu said slowly: "I'm just not sure what Xiaochen is thinking, I have to ask him face to face." ”

Mrs. Ye also thought thoughtfully when she heard this: "Speaking of which, why is it that most of the people in the mission have returned, but this child has not returned?" ”

"The official newspaper only said that the prince was unaccustomed to the water and soil and wanted to recuperate for a few days, but in fact, he proposed to Bihai Country without authorization, and I heard that he had a hot fight with the second princess, and he couldn't think about it. Emperor Wen said that he wanted to leave a few people in front of the prince, so he left Xiaochen behind. Ye Zhiqiu frowned.

"What do you think about the DPRK?"

"I think Emperor Wen also wants to match this marriage, so he let the prince stay in Bihai and not come back, so that he can get closer to the second princess of Bihai. I guess most of them will be assigned to send a wedding envoy to Bihai in the near future, and I want to go this way myself. ”

Mrs. Ye looked at her husband's persistent eyes, was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Alas...... You can't see through it all the time. I really don't want to care about it, and I can't care about it. After saying that, she left her husband and left the hall without looking back.

In the tea garden behind the Zhangren Palace, a figure in a coarse cloth shirt is busy in the field. The man was about fifty years old, with a clear face, the corners of his eyes raised, and a bit of the appearance of a southern alien race between his eyebrows.

I saw him holding a pot in his left hand, and his right hand was like a butterfly wearing a flower on the tea tree. Every time I brush it, I have an extra handful of buds in my hand and throw it into the pot. But for a moment or three, his hands were already full of tea.

Emperor Wen picked up the sweat towel on his shoulders and was wiping his sweat, when a eunuch ran to the end of the ridge in a panic, and kept shouting: "Holy Lord!" Holy! Great joy! ”

Before the people arrived, the eunuch hurriedly reported the good news: "The iron tree planted by the first emperor himself actually bloomed with a flower bone!" This is auspicious from heaven! ”

Emperor Wen's face suddenly brightened when he heard this, and Long Xin asked happily, "Is it the one in front of the Evergreen Palace?" Did it really bloom? ”

The eunuch's voice was full of emotion, and he almost burst into tears and said: "Exactly, it is the one planted in front of the palace when the first emperor's body was still strong!" ”

Emperor Wen handed the tea pot to Gonggong Li, and said excitedly: "When I drink a cup of tea to quench my thirst, I will go with you to have a look." After speaking, he walked into the tea room by the ridge alone.

Emperor Wen is a very easy-going person on weekdays, especially when he enters the tea garden, he seems to have really become a tea farmer, doing everything himself, even serving tea to water.

Therefore, Gonggong Li also stood outside the tea room with great interest and said loudly: "The slave is waiting here." ”

Emperor Wen entered the tea room, put down the basket of tea, and was just about to pick up the teacup and pour the tea, when he found a plain envelope pressed under the tea tray, and the seal was marked by a Pisces.
