Looking at Lu Wanyan, who looked a little discouraged, Qiqin's eyes slowly drifted out of the window: "Wanniang, you are the queen of the Ming Dynasty, since you are in this position, as long as you do your best to do what you should do, since the husband can hand over this position to you without hesitation, it means that he trusts you." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wan Niang took a light breath and nodded.

"Family and everything is prosperous, and the husband's responsibility is as heavy as a thousand pounds now, so he definitely doesn't want to see you in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to see anything bad in the harem," Qiqin smiled and made a gesture of encouragement, "Wanniang, you are not only the mother of two children, but also the queen of the Ming Dynasty, we are in the harem, and we can't help the husband do more, but it's okay for him to deal with the storm in front of him wholeheartedly, you can do it." ”

Huo Ran stood up, and Lu Wanyan's gaze was much more resolute: "Thank you, sister, for your doubts." ”

Qiqin smiled and waved her hand: "I'm not just here for you to solve your doubts, but also for the entire harem and husband, so you don't have to be polite, and Wanniang, you have to pay attention to the child, the child is important." ”

Lu Wanyan nodded solemnly, slowly folded the piece of paper that Qiqin had written just now, then put it on the candle and lit it, turned around and left.

The wind gently blew Qiqin's plain white sleeves, and she watched with some distraction as the paper ash slowly drifted away with the wind, and disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't help but sigh softly after a long time. Lu Wanyan obviously wanted to tell her and tell herself that as the wife of Emperor Ming and Ye Yingwu, she had absolute trust and support for her husband, no matter who Ye Yingwu chose as the young master, she would not have any opinions.

Although Qiqin didn't say it clearly just now, Lu Wanyan knew very well that once Ye Yingwu wanted to make a sacrifice, it was very likely that she would be on the selection of the young master, and at this time, if she had any opinions and dragged Ye Yingwu back, she would be pushing Ye Yingwu to a dead end.

"Say you can't see clearly, I think Wanniang you can see it yourself, it's just that you can't get over this hurdle in your heart," Qiqin couldn't help but murmur with emotion, "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be smart." ”

"Mother!" At this moment, a childish shout came from behind her, Qiqin hurriedly stood up, and the two maidservants waiting outside also hurriedly came in. Seeing that her fair-eyed daughter didn't know when she woke up, and was shouting hungry with "teeth and claws", Qiqin couldn't help but shake her head gently, but there was a smile on her face.

If there is anything that she can't reassure her now, except for the husband who has always been unreassuring, I'm afraid there is only this daughter.

The Oiran who used to be famous in Lin'an picked up the child at this time, and there was only a sincere smile on his face.

――――――――――――――――--

"You've been hesitating for a long time, and you still can't get down?" The chess pieces in Ye Yingwu's hand were beating on the chessboard, looking at Hui Niang who was frowning on the other side, "I'll tell you, if you play, you are not allowed to regret chess, and you can ・・・・・・ if you want to regret chess."

"Alright, alright, I'll go!" Hui Niang snorted, this guy can't spit out ivory in his mouth, so it's better not to let him say it. The chess pieces in her hand fell on the chessboard, and Hui Niang pursed her lips: "Look, I'm playing, it's always okay." ”

Ye Yingwu showed a solemn look on his face, his eyes swept over and over again on the chessboard, and then he sighed deeply, and fell unhurriedly: "Hui Niang, you lost again." ”

Hui Niang followed his gaze, and sure enough, Ye Yingwu already had two places and three white chess pieces connected together, and no matter which side he blocked, he couldn't win. This guy has been dragging on for so long, he definitely deliberately wants to be angry with himself.

And Ye Yingwu had obviously been waiting for this moment for a long time, and quickly looked at Zhao Yunshu to the side.

I don't know if it's because of the bath just now, or because of the sneak attack by two (harmonious) wolves of a man and a woman while bathing, Shu'er's pretty face is still flushed. always felt that Ye Yingwu's gaze was not quite right, Zhao Yunshu subconsciously tightened his shirt, glared at Ye Yingwu fiercely, and then tore off a note and handed it to Ye Yingwu.

"Face sticking out!" Ye Yingwu said proudly, directly dipped the note in the water cup, and without waiting for Hui Niang to come over reluctantly, he directly slapped the note on her pretty face. The note floated in the wind, echoing the other four or five notes on his face.

And in the same way, there are also three notes on Ye Yingwu's face, but they are less than Hui Niang, and they are also a little embarrassed. Hui Niang held her cheeks a little depressed, obviously she herself realized how ugly it was to paste this note, and Ye Yingwu laughed triumphantly, causing Hui Niang to roll her eyes.

Zhao Yunshu couldn't help but smile bitterly, these two guys can play backgammon in full swing, and they really admire the two of them. But then again, Ye Yingwu is playing backgammon or chess, if he is playing Go, I'm afraid Hui Niang has the ability to stick Ye Yingwu's entire face all over it.

"Come on, come again!" Ye Yingwu rolled up his sleeves, except for the beginning of Hui Niang's way, he has been winning all the way with a crushing momentum.

"No, no, the husband is powerful, the concubine admits defeat," Hui Niang snorted weakly, obviously having lost her fighting spirit, and tore off all the notes on her face casually, "It's too uncomfortable to stick on your face." ”

Ye Yingwu slapped the table angrily: "If you say that you will bring it for at least an hour, how can you play tricks?" ”

"Then you have the ability, don't take it off your face!" Hui Niang retorted without hesitation.

"You've taken it off, why can't you let me take it off?"

"Obviously you said it yourself to take an hour, I didn't agree!"

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, Hui Niang, you are not cheating, or shameless!"

"I'm not a gentleman!" Hui Niang made a grimace and was about to get up, but when she saw that Ye Yingwu had already pounced, the girl screamed at the moment and was thrown down on the bed by Ye Yingwu.

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to untie Hui Niang's belt, so frightened that Hui Niang reached out and pressed his hand, and there were two layers of clothes on his body. However, Ye Yingwu didn't pay attention to Hui Niang's ability to "refuse and welcome" at all, as soon as he grabbed Hui Niang's wrist, Ye Yingwu aimed at the cherry lips and kissed it.

was attacked by this guy, Hui Niang hummed softly, and the whole person suddenly softened, and two red clouds had unconsciously flown up her cheeks. And Ye Yingwu took advantage of this opportunity, and his hands were not idle. Hui Niang closed her eyes, obviously giving up resistance.

And Zhao Yunshu took a step back with a hint of a sigh, and just wanted to get out of this chaotic "fierce battle", but unexpectedly, a hand stretched out from the oblique ground and directly grabbed her clothes belt, just a light pull, the clothes belt had been loosened, and the gown slid down the smooth and white shoulders, so frightened that Zhao Yunshu didn't care about leaving, and reached out to pull the futon.

It's just that this strange hand is not Ye Yingwu's, but Hui Niang's.

"Husband, stop her!" Hui Niang said with a smile. Wang Qinghui is not stupid, his husband is majestic, he can't resist it by himself, it is more reliable to find a helper at this time, not to mention that Ye Yingwu has already planned to do so, and he can be regarded as a meritorious contribution to helping his husband stop Sister Shu'er.

"Hui Niang did a good job," Ye Yingwu kissed her on the forehead, anyway, this girl has been peeled by herself, and she doesn't have the ability to run away, so she simply turned around and looked at Zhao Yunshu, blinked and said, "After watching the jokes and the Living Spring (Harmony) Palace for so long, is Shu'er still planning to stay out of the matter." ”

Glaring fiercely at Hui Niang, a little traitor who "forgot his friends", Zhao Yunshu sighed, looked Ye Yingwu up and down, and couldn't wait to eat his gaze, knowing that this guy would not let himself go kindly. At that moment, she reached out and took off the hairpin, Zhao Yunshu's well-maintained black hair was like a waterfall, slid down her shoulder, shrank back, and stared at Ye Yingwu with watery eyes, looking like a little lady from a good family who was wronged and aggrieved.

"Sister Shu'er is amazing." Hui Niang giggled and fell on Ye Yingwu's back, her husband couldn't see the little girl's family looking weak and pitiful, and now Zhao Yunshu obviously hit Ye Yingwu's soft underbelly, looking at her hesitant husband, Hui Niang couldn't help it anymore, "This delicate appearance, all kinds of amorous, I feel pity, it really makes my husband embarrassed to be cheeky." ”

"Flutter!" Zhao Yunshu also laughed, and stretched out his hand to hit Hui Niang: "Where do I have it, don't spread rumors, you girl!" ”

But if you want to hit Hui Niang, it's not so easy. The corners of Ye Yingwu's mouth hooked, and Zhao Yunshu fell down suddenly, and in the girl's exclamation, Hui Niang shook her head, but she also pounced. For a time, it was turned into a red wave, and the spring was strong.

I don't know who blew out the candle flame, and then the churning sound was endless.

"Hui Niang, you are also here to bully me!" In the dark, Zhao Yunshu suddenly screamed.

Ye Yingwu's voice came from below: "Hui Niang, you hold her, Shu'er, what are you moving?" Hui Niang, why are you so stupid, you can't catch such a big person. ”

"Is it okay for my ・・・・・・ Sister Shu'er to be older than me?" Hui Niang shouted aggrievedly.

"You two rascals." Zhao Yunshu was indignant, "If I don't hide anymore, won't I be eaten by you?" Hui Niang, which side are you on? ”

"Your sister Shu'er is older than you, this can testify," Ye Yingwu said with a smile, "Since I can't eat her, then Hui Niang, I can only eat you first." ”

"Husband, why are you such a scoundrel?" Hui Niang suddenly struggled in Ye Yingwu's arms angrily, while Zhao Yunshu hid to the side and giggled.

Ye Yingwu Zhengse said: "Isn't this nonsense, neither of you two can run tonight, anyway, what's the difference between one after the other, not to mention a pig teammate like you who can't even catch a person, of course you have to accept some punishment first." ”

And Zhao Yunshu sighed leisurely: "Hui Niang, heaven is evil, it is still possible; and thou shalt not live. ”

――――――――――-

The clouds disappeared, Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to push open the window, and a bright moonlight sprinkled in.

And Shu'er and Hui Niang, who were already weak, just subconsciously shrank back, not noticing that their intoxicating grace and beauty had been exposed to Ye Yingwu's gaze. Shaking his head, Ye Yingwu pulled over the futon and wrapped his two wives tightly, this weather is about to be late autumn or even winter, if you catch a cold, it is not good.

Slowly lying between the two, Ye Yingwu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if the depression and anger that had accumulated in the past few days had finally been vented. Zhao Yunshu's hand unconsciously rubbed lightly on Ye Yingwu's chest, and the girl forced her tired body to turn sideways and look at her husband: "Tomorrow morning is the great court meeting, this is the first time that the husband has convened a great court meeting of local state officials since returning from the north・・・・・・

On the other side, Hui Niang also subconsciously pricked up her ears and leaned towards Ye Yingwu's arm.

Ye Yingwu just hummed lightly, this time the court meeting is not just to convene officials in the capital, but the court meeting that officials from all over the Ming Dynasty will come to attend, the purpose of which is naturally to summarize the battle of the Northern Expedition and start to discuss meritorious deeds, of course, this is only the superficial purpose, behind the scenes, of course, the contradictions and struggles in the Ming court need to have a place to distinguish the winners and losers.

Because officials from remote places, including Sichuan and Shu, will come, the court meeting looks like it will be held in these days, but in fact it has been waiting for nearly two months. Whether it is the Northern Expedition and the promotion of a large number of officials involved, or the development of the Ming Dynasty's national policy after this, it is not something that Ye Yingwu or the political hall can decide after discussing and patting their heads, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to consult local opinions.

This is the central government's respect for the localities, and it is also to prevent differences of opinion from leading to repeated incidents and unnecessary disputes and contradictions in the officialdom.

Of course, this situation is rarely seen in the original dynasties, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty adopted this method is mainly because the Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, especially the Song Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is more vast, and it has the territory of Tubo, Dongying and Nanyang, etc., which were not actually controlled by the previous Chinese dynasties, so the local officials and feudal officials have become impossible to ignore.

In order to effectively prevent the situation of the division of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the division of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it was simply adopted to hold a large-scale court meeting every few months, and by sending some local officials to Beijing to meet the court, they could take the opportunity to inspect their political achievements and exchange officials from various places, so as to prevent them from forming a secret kingdom in the local area.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty held this kind of court meeting, and sent local officials to the capital in turn, after all, for the current Ming Dynasty, sea routes, canals and straight roads have gradually formed a system, so there is no need to worry about local officials delaying for too long because the road is too far away.

However, even so, this kind of court meeting naturally cannot be held every three or five times, otherwise these officials are estimated to be on the road all year round, and it is generally for the decision of some national policy to hold such a standard court meeting, the last time it was held was at the beginning of the year, and now it is almost the end of the year. And this time the Great Dynasty Meeting was held because there are really many things that need to be resolved.

After all, just tomorrow, the final result of the struggle between the imperial court and the family will be announced. This is what everyone is looking forward to now, and it is also waiting quietly, and even many people's concern for it has exceeded the theme of this great court meeting - the reward for meritorious deeds after the Northern Expedition and the change in the pattern of Ming officialdom.

"It's not the first big court meeting, a small court on the fifth day, a big court on the seventh day, even if it is such a big court meeting, it is not unheld," Ye Yingwu said indifferently, "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and if it comes, it will be safe." ”

Zhao Yunshu and Hui Niang glanced at each other in some astonishment, and Ye Yingwu patted the shoulders of the two of them: "Okay, it's not too early, hurry up and rest, I don't want to go to court with dark circles under my eyes tomorrow." ”

"So the husband is already confident?" Hui Niang finally couldn't help but ask.

Ye Yingwu chuckled: "Do you know why a certain summoned local state officials to Beijing this time?" ”

"The husband's control over the local state capital is probably not as good as the family in some places, right?" Zhao Yunshu looked at Ye Yingwu hesitantly.

Shaking his head, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "What's the matter, those are just insignificant people, if they still have a little brain, they know which side they should stand on, even if they are ignorant, what's the big deal, someone who needs it has already come, that's enough." ”

Stretching out his hand to hug Hui Niang and Zhao Yunshu, Ye Yingwu smiled and said, "Now that the stage has been set up, the rest is to wait for the distinguished guests and singing to enter one by one." ”
