The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and when they reached Ye Qiu and Ye Kai's side, the people led by them stopped.

"Why are you two here?" Ye Ke dismounted and said to the two.

His appearance was the most ordinary of the brothers, but Ye Kai felt that his momentum was even greater than that of the second brother of the crown prince, and when he was glanced at by the eldest brother, he felt that his legs were trembling, he was worthy of being a person who walked down from the battlefield!

"Big brother." Ye Qiu hugged Ye Heng and led Ye Kai to salute him with a fist, "I've been bored lately, I have nothing to do with Lao Qi, so I came out to go around, is my eldest brother going back to Beijing to report on work?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Ke nodded coldly at the two of them, and then asked succinctly and clearly, "Do you want to go with me?" ”

"Wow!" Ye Qiu didn't care about Ye Kai's fear, he happily got on the horse, and Ye Kai cured his charred roast rabbit and roast chicken with him.

Ye Ke looked at him with complicated eyes, he didn't expect that after not coming back for a few years, the taste of the seventh brother would become so strange.

The horses in the army were much taller and stronger than Ye Qiu's horses, and Xiao Ye Heng was excited as soon as he came up, and his eyes were shining when he looked at Ye Ke.

Ye Ke looked at him sideways, as if he was very interested: "How old is the child?" ”

"Two and a half years old." Ye Qiu lovingly touched Ye Heng's head.

Ye Ke nodded: "In two years, you will be able to practice martial arts, and then there will be no martial artist to come to my mansion to find me." ”

Since he opened this mouth, it proved that he still liked Ye Heng very much, and Ye Qiu had no reason to approach him, so he readily agreed.

Ye Ke is the eldest son of today's saint and his son-in-law, and he has made a lot of military achievements in the border pass in recent years, so the news of his return to Beijing to report on his work soon spread throughout the capital.

There was a dark tide surging in the capital, and one by one I didn't know what I was planning.

In the East Palace, Prince Ye Zheng's eyes were dark, and he was obviously not in a calm mood, among so many brothers, the one he feared the most was back, why didn't he think about it much?

Will the father leave the eldest brother in the capital?

Ye Zheng couldn't tell whether it was good or bad for Ye Ke to stay in the capital, if he continued to send his eldest brother to guard the border pass, then the entire northwest region would become a hall of words for the eldest brother, even if he succeeded to the throne in the future, the eldest brother could threaten his position with the army, but if the eldest brother did not go to the border pass, those ministers in the capital might move closer to the eldest brother again, and he would definitely be obstructed when he sat on the throne.

His biggest reliance now is his father, as long as his father has been facing him, the eldest brother will not be able to shake his position, I hope that his father will not let himself down.

"Son-in-law, see father!" On the Jinluan Palace, Ye Ke made a regular pilgrimage to the saint.

"Get up." Emperor Ye Guang looked at his eldest son lovingly, "You have worked hard in the past few years." ”

Ye Ke didn't dare to be complacent at all, and still said with a straight look: "This is what Erchen should do." ”

"I've watched all your plays, you've done a good job, and then I'll rest in the capital, and I'll send someone to hand over the affairs of the army, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." Ye Guang said very lovingly.

But Ye Ke and his two lieutenants at the bottom clenched their hands when they heard this, what they said was so good, didn't they directly deprive the military of power?

But Ye Ke is not only a son but also a minister, the emperor's orders have to be obeyed, otherwise maybe something will come out, maybe some crime will come down.

It's just years of hard work and years of bloody battles, is there only such a sentence?

Ye Ke was unhappy in his heart, but he knew that he was now fledgling, and there was only a dead end for him to go against his father at this time.

"Thank you for your grace." Ye Ke knelt down respectfully and kowtowed again, and no matter how uneven the two lieutenants were, they had to temporarily suppress their uneasy thoughts.

Seeing this, Emperor Ye Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, let's be flat, I'll go see your mother later, she is very worried about you." ”

"Yes, Erchen will go."

In less than a day, the news that Ye Ke was deprived of military power spread rapidly, and the people who originally planned to get closer to the eldest prince also stopped moving, and now it seems that His Majesty still favors His Royal Highness the Prince.

Lin Jingxian smiled relaxed when she heard the news, she knew that person would not be easily pulled off the horse by anyone.

Tomorrow is the birthday of the Ten Princes, do you have a chance to meet him? Lin Jingxian was excited, and then took the trouble to choose the clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow, and she wanted to present her best side to him.

In Qinghu Courtyard, Ye Qiu asked Xiao Luzi after practicing a period of physical exercise: "How is the maid named Hibiscus?" ”

"There are a lot of rules."

"Send her back to the princess later, and by the way, let Mama Zhang tell her who is the master of this mansion and who can decide her life and death."

"Yes."

On the second day, Ye Qiu and Lin Jingxian went out together, Ye Heng was held in Ye Qiu's arms as usual, and the twins were not brought out because they were too young.

Lin Jingxian looked at Ye Heng with complicated eyes, and said with a kind smile: "The prince raised Heng'er really well. ”

She hadn't seen Ye Heng for a long time, but she also remembered that the child was a thin and pitiful little girl, but now, not only was she raised white and fat, but there was no fear in her eyes, and her big eyes were clear and clear, as if Ye Qiu was carved out of a mold.

It's just a concubine, but she is already jealous at this time.

Ye Qiu snorted lightly: "The child I raised, of course, is good." As she spoke, she proudly hugged Ye Heng into the carriage, Lin Jingxian was a little angry, as if she didn't know when she started to be as smooth with him as before.

Don't you like yourself? Why does it seem like everything is working against you?

Because she was afraid of missing the hour, Lin Jingxian still got into the carriage despite her discouragement, Ye Qiu was as if she hadn't seen her, and she was playing with Ye Heng intently, the child's laughter spread far away, and Lin Jingxian's face became even stiffer.

But thinking that she would be able to see her sweetheart later, a shy smile appeared on her face again, Ye Qiu smiled sarcastically when she saw this, Lin Jingxian was immersed in her own thoughts, and naturally she didn't notice it.

"Fifth brother, you're here." Today, Lao Shi personally greeted the guests at the door, saw Ye Qiu with a bright smile, and then hugged Lin Jingxian again, "The fifth sister-in-law is fine." ”

"The tenth brother is polite." She smiled gently and generously, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she aroused the amazement of the people around her.

She is also worthy of the title of the first beauty in the capital, today she is wearing a powder blue palace dress, with a delicate step and jade hairpin on her head, and a ruby hanging down just right on her forehead, which is fairy and dazzling.

Countless envious eyes drifted towards Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu also smiled triumphantly, and then ignored Lin Jingxian's stiffness and took her hand.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
