Chapter 159: You can't return to Beijing without an edict

"It's okay, it's going to be taken off anyway."

“……”

"Go back to sleep. When I woke up, I was about to go to Jizhou City. ”

"Okay."

This night, Ye Qingyan hugged Xiao Changqi's waist tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

And her abnormal behavior attracted Xiao Changqi's attention to Ji Xue more and more.

……

Because of Xiao Changqi's words, Ye Qingyan slept very unsteadily this night, and the events of her previous life came one after another, and some details that she had forgotten also reappeared in her dreams. even remembered that Xiao Changqi was in Leopard City this time for the purpose of storing grain. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingyan, who hadn't slept well, was obviously in good spirits.

Because her legs were frozen before, Xiao Changqi said that she was not allowed to ride a horse again, but prepared a carriage, which had a stove, hot tea, soup woman, hand warmer and other heating things, and the whole carriage was as warm as spring.

Ye Qingyan didn't feel comfortable, the more he pampered her, the more she felt like a waste.

Ji Xue's help to him in the last life was like a needle piercing her deeply, making it difficult for her to pull out.

Because Ye Qingyan was sitting in the carriage, when she passed through the city gate, she didn't see Sister-in-law Miao holding a two-year-old child and standing at the city gate early.

……

Two days later, Ye Qingyan sat in the carriage, and a huge city in the wind and snow could be seen in the distance. The city wall is completely built of huge bluestone, looking unbreakable, the city gate is also exceptionally tall, and there are three big characters on the city gate - Jizhou City!

Another convoy of horses stopped at the gate of the city, as if waiting for their convoy.

When he got closer, Ye Qingyan saw the carriage, which was the prince's carriage. Although it is not the one in the capital, it is also a six-horse carriage at the level of a prince, and the carriage is carved with python patterns.

"Is it a deuce?" Ye Qingyan asked the coachman - Xiao Changqi pretended.

Xiao Changqi said: "You have returned to Beijing to stand by. ”

"Why didn't you spend the New Year in the capital?" In his previous life, he stayed for the New Year, and only came back to Jizhou City after the New Year.

"Your Majesty is becoming more and more suspicious, and after leaving this time, he issued an edict - you cannot return to Beijing without an edict. There is also the fief in Qizhou, I was also deprived of the right to govern, and now it is just a name. ”

"Oh, then the last time you went to Qizhou, you shouldn't have fished for oil and water, right?" Ye Qingyan narrowed his cat-like eyes, flashing slyly.

Xiao Changqi took off the hat on his head and buckled it on her head, and took the opportunity to kiss her extremely soft cherry lips, "See through, don't say it, understand?" ”

"Understand ......" Ye Qingyan's cheeks flushed, this guy is really unscrupulous to take advantage of others.

……

The Jade Prince's Mansion in Jizhou City, although it is not as carved as the jade fence in the capital, the pink walls and tiles, but it has a rough style in the north.

Even the people are generally taller and stronger than the people in the capital. Especially those maidservants, most of them are taller and thicker than Ye Qingyan, which makes her look down on her thin and small body a little, if she is also so strong, she shouldn't be so cold.

"Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and those who have families in Jizhou City can go home for the New Year." Those who do not go home stay in the house to work, and they have double their wages. I'm a person with clear rewards and punishments, and I hate intrigue the most, so everyone had better be vigilant. Okay, let's all disperse. Holding a hand warmer in his hand, wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, he shrunk his neck and explained a few words to the people standing in the courtyard.

Ye Qingyan is in the capital because of her identity as a 'deity', so she is now just a big girl who is in charge of Xiao Changqi's house, in charge of these maids in the prince's mansion, the old mother, who has the right but no name and no point.

Zhang's mother is a housekeeper mother in the Prince's Mansion, and she is somewhat disdainful of Ye Qingyan, who is delicate and holds a hand warmer all the time, wears clothes comparable to that of a master, and is obviously a maidservant but doesn't do any work. But because the person is a person in Xiao Changqi's house, he can deliver words, and he doesn't dare to offend.

Hearing Ye Qingyan say that he could go home for the New Year, and those who stayed in the house to work had double wages, he raised his hand and said, "Miss Mingyan, we want to stay in the house and go home after the festival." ”

"Yes, you can." Ye Qingyan said.

A few more raised their hands one after another, and Ye Qingyan also responded, and those who didn't raise their hands were going home.

Ye Qingyan continued: "I don't know what customs there are for the New Year here, there is a habit of giving rice cakes in the capital, and there is no time to make rice cakes in a hurry, so each person will be given fifty yuan, which should be a rice cake ceremony." ”

As soon as they heard that there was money to take, these subordinates immediately laughed.

"Thank you, Miss Mingyan."

"Miss Mingyan is really beautiful and kind."

"Miss Mingyan is wise."

"Thank you, Miss Mingyan."

……

Gong Cheng, the head of the palace in Jizhou City, is also Xiao Changqi's personal entourage, and was originally on an errand in the outer courtyard of Prince Yu's mansion. After Emperor Jingde gave Jizhou to Xiao Changqi as a fief, he was sent to Jizhou City by Xiao Changqi.

This man was handsome and had a clear voice, and if he didn't say it himself, no one would suspect him of being a eunuch. Later, after Xiao Changqi ascended the throne, he became Xiao Changqi's personal manager. And after Xiao Changqi died, he also committed suicide and followed, and went underground to continue to serve Xiao Changqi.

When Ye Qingyan saw Gong Cheng again, he felt very deeply in his heart, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Gong Cheng knelt on the ground, he knew that the person in front of him was actually the princess in charge. So, the attitude is very deferential.

"Chief Palace, get up. In the future, there is no need to be like this in front of people, I am just a personal servant girl beside the prince, and it is supposed to give you a salute and belong to you. Ye Qingyan said.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Gong Cheng said busily.

Ye Qingyan took out a piece of the best mutton fat warm jade from his sleeve pocket, which was in the shape of an eye, "Give this to the palace manager." ”

Gong Cheng immediately refused, "The slave has no merit and no virtue, and he deserves it." ”

"You will be meritorious and virtuous in the future." Ye Qingyan insisted on him.

Gong Cheng accepted it, "Thank you, Niangniang, the slave will definitely live up to Niangniang's high expectations." ”

Ye Qingyan looked up at the sky, it was obviously noon, but he couldn't see a little sunshine, and the gloomy clouds made the already cold weather even colder.

"Is there anything fun to do here for the New Year?"

"The Chinese New Year is when every family is busy greeting the New Year and walking around the alleys. It is really lively, and it is necessary to have the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days of the first month, and the night does not avoid the market, there are lanterns, singing, and juggling. ”

"Sounds good." Ye Qingyan thought of the ointment trade in Leopard City, so he said, "I need some medicinal materials, can the palace manager help me buy them?" ”

"The minions obey."

Xiao Changqi came to look for her, and happened to hear her say about medicinal materials, so he said, "Since you want to do it, why don't you make it bigger." ”。

"Bigger?" Ye Qingyan looked at him, "Do you want me to do business?" ”
