Chapter 107: Glory and Wealth
Yao Siyu was mixed in the rivers and lakes before this, and he wanted to seek an official position in the palace, but the dream of the rivers and lakes had been completed, and he didn't want to continue to mix.
The struggle in the court, Yao Siyu knew when he first went to the court that the dynasty was divided into two factions.
He is willing to follow Yuan Xiang, probably because the people on Yuan Xiang's side are also stronger, and he will also enjoy the glory and wealth.
Do your best to help Yuan Xiang do things, and good things will not be missing from him.
"It's rare to get Yuan Xiang's appreciation, but I don't know what Yuan Xiang needs to do with his humble position?" Yao Siyu is very good, which makes Yuan Weiqing very satisfied.
"What you need is that you need to help you accomplish something in the future."
"Xiangye, please speak."
"For a long time, there has been a discord between the prime minister and the emperor and other royal people on the surface and behind the scenes, you should also hear some rumors." Yuan Weiqing said his thoughts directly in front of Yao Siyu.
Regarding the affairs of the prime minister and the royal family, Yao Siyu did know a little thing, but he didn't go into much detail.
I didn't expect that he could still be involved in the court battle, which is still very exciting to think about.
"I've heard of a little bit of lowly office."
"What the prime minister needs, you will assist Yuan Che to do some things in the future." Yuan Weiqing pointed to Yuan Che who came out of the darkness.
Only then did Yao Siyu know that he came by himself to help others.
He didn't show his unhappiness, he was still normal here in Yuan Weiqing, looking at Yuan Weiqing with a smile.
"What Xiang Ye said is that he is willing to listen to Xiang Ye's arrangement."
Yuan Che also looked at Yao Siyu, he also knew how many dogs there were under Yuan Weiqing, and this dog was what he liked.
Mei Changqing doesn't know what he's busy with recently, Lord Chen from Jiangsu wrote to say that silk should be paid tribute to the emperor, and Lord Li from Henan said that the soil quality is not good this year.
Mei Nianliao felt that all these things were left to Mei Changqing to deal with, and a little thing made Mei Changqing anxious.
The most important thing is probably Mei Chaoxi's wedding, and Mei Changqing also has to arrange for someone to record the gifts sent by other foreign countries.
This is good, Mei Changqing is busy before and after, Mei Nianliao is also idle, and he threw everything to Mei Changqing, who is not idle.
When he finally rested, Mei Changqing was dragged back by several bureaucrats.
When sitting on the return of the finch, Mei Changqing always felt a faint feeling of unease, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
Before going, he also specially explained to Lian Ge and asked Lian Ge to inform Bai Yiyan that he was dealing with some officials outside.
After Bai Yiyan found out, he didn't take it seriously, and this kind of entertainment is also normal.
Mei Changqing, who got a response, was much more relieved, and he was much more relieved to sit in his seat, but he was still on the verge of breaking the law.
He couldn't do anything that made Bai Yiyan unhappy, he repented in his heart, and he just drank wine and ate side dishes when he came back.
After drinking and eating, the finch came back and called Kabuki, so naturally he wanted to call some girls to have fun.
Mei Changqing was also drunk and confused, and did not refuse, and when the people came up, they sat directly on his lap, so frightened that he hurriedly pushed people to the ground.
Several bureaucrats' children thought that they had angered the prince, and hurriedly asked the girl to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, Mei Changqing felt that it was okay, after all, she was a little sensitive.
The hour was not early, and Bai Yiyan still wanted to wait for Mei Changqing to come back to rest, but he couldn't wait for him.
Lian Ge came back first, Bai Yiyan felt very strange, shouldn't Lian Ge stay by Mei Changqing's side, so he went to ask Lian Ge why Mei Changqing hadn't come back yet.
The song was hesitant, which made Bai Yiyan suspicious.
"Lian Ge, are you hiding something from me?" Bai Yiyan asked bluntly.
Lian Ge was taken aback, what could he hide from the princess, except for the fact that the prince went to the return of the sparrow to drink flower wine.
Whether Lian Ge was lying or not, the expression on his face was written, and Bai Yiyan knew that Lian Ge was lying to himself.
"Lian Ge, is something wrong with the prince?" Bai Yiyan was more worried that something had happened to Mei Changqing, and then there was no way to come back.
"How could something happen to the prince, princess, you can rest first, the prince will be back soon." Lian Ge hurriedly replied.
Looking at Lian Ge's unnatural expression, Bai Yiyan said directly: "If you dare to hide it from this princess, this princess can also punish you!" β
In the face of Bai Yiyan's threat, Lian Ge was still a little scared, although Bai Yiyan was a little stubborn in the past, it was Mei Changqing who indulged him, and the status between them was also equal, not to mention that Bai Yiyan was a person who would hold a shelf.
Now she is the prince and princess, and she is no one else, with an identity, she naturally uses her identity to oppress people.
Regardless of whether she really wanted to ask about her sins, Lian Ge still felt that it was right to listen to the princess.
"Princess, princess."
"But it doesn't hurt if you say it's okay, I'll take care of everything." Bai Yiyan waved his hand and took the matter down.
When Mei Changqing was about to open his mouth to let Lian Ge in, he was startled when he saw the young man behind him.
The people present had never seen Bai Yiyan's men's clothes, even if it was women's clothes, they just glanced at her in a hurry, and they forgot her appearance after a long time.
The beauty still has to be kept and appreciated, but a handsome young man came, and everyone was stunned.
The girls who were in the children of the bureaucracy were also stunned by the later teenagers.
Bai Yiyan gently hooked the corners of her mouth and walked slowly towards Mei Changqing, Mei Changqing looked surprised that she came, and then glared at Lian Ge.
Lian Ge lowered his head and avoided Mei Changqing's eyes, it was he who leaked the secret and let the princess find it here.
Mei Changqing immediately changed his face to Bai Yiyan, from a fierce appearance to a laugh, and everyone wanted to know who the young man was when they saw this.
Bai Yiyan didn't say a word, sat directly on Mei Changqing's lap, and hooked Mei Changqing's neck with his hand.
Everyone gasped, they didn't expect this person to be so blatant, and they were all born as men, how could he do such a thing.
The girl just now was pushed to the ground by Mei Changqing, and everyone thought that Mei Changqing would push this person to the ground.
However, Mei Changqing's next move shocked everyone even more.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Bai Yiyan's waist, and took Bai Yiyan into his arms, and the distance between the two people became tighter.
"Lord Wang. You're here! A bureaucrat's child exclaimed in surprise.
"Lord, you don't want it, girl, but you want a man who came suddenly, think about the princess. These things can't be touched. Another bureaucrat's son said.
Bai Yiyan heard them say that Mei Changqing didn't want a girl, and looking at the situation present, everyone was holding a girl, so Mei Changqing didn't care.
Bai Yiyan had a plan and wanted to tease him.
"Are they telling the truth?" Bai Yiyan asked softly.
As soon as she spoke, everyone was also shocked when they heard it, although the man also had a very thin voice, but he had never heard such a gentle feeling.
If a man is good-looking and has a crisp voice, the few bureaucrats present don't mind liking men.
"What really?" Mei Changqing trembled, hugging Bai Yiyan, she didn't dare to talk nonsense, she could only pretend to be stupid.
"You don't want a girl."
"You see, they have one each, and I only have you."
The conversation between the two people made several people present look a little unbearable, how do they think that these two people are actually a couple.
This is not good, what about the beautiful Prince Yu and the princess.
Bai Yiyan heard Mei Changqing's answer, she knew that Mei Changqing really didn't call the girl, forgive him here for the time being, and wait for the rest to go back to the palace to settle slowly with him.
If the princess knew, it would feel like the princess would have known for a long time.
Everyone speculated that when the emperor gave the princess a marriage to the prince, the prince vomited blood, whether it was because of this young man.
Everyone was still speculating that Mei Changqing hurriedly brought Bai Yiqian back to the palace, and her actions just now were really provocative and made him very excited.
I can't wait to do it on the spot, so men are animals that think in the lower half of their bodies.
It's not so simple to return to the palace, just outside just now, Bai Yiyan just saved some face for Mei Changqing in front of the bureaucrats.
She still had to settle accounts with Mei Changqing, and she actually ran to the return of the bird.
Don't think that if he didn't call the girl, she would forgive him, she didn't finish with him.
When she returned to the house, Mei Changqing was anxious to pounce on Bai Yiyan, but was kicked under the bed by Bai Yiyan.
Mei Changqing got up and looked at Bai Yiyan with an innocent expression.
"You're going to sleep on the floor tonight." Bai Yiyan ruthlessly rejected Mei Changqing.
"Lady. Didn't you say that I was good, how to let me be on the water. β
"You should go and kneel the walnuts! He actually carried me on his back until the return of the bird, and he was still drinking there so late. Bai Yiyan was angry.
She was smiling outside just now, and when she came back, she was fierce and vicious, she wanted Mei Changqing to know what it meant to hide a knife in a smile.
Is it that these days, she is too good to Mei Changqing, or does he think that he doesn't call him a girl.
"I'm also relaxing, the court is too busy these days, I want to go out to eat and drink some wine."
"What, you are still reasonable, the house can't relax, can't the house give you good food?" Bai Yiyan questioned Mei Changqing.
"Neither is it"
"Ning'er, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't go to that kind of place and don't tell you, don't be angry with me. When I saw you tonight, I felt a little happy, as if I could be liberated, but I didn't expect you to suddenly appear and give me a reward, which made me even happier. I was so happy that I wanted to kill you on the spot, but no, how could I let those prodigal sons see my beautiful princess. β
What Mei Changqing said was really easy to make people blush and heartbeat, even if she had been married to Mei Changqing many times, it still made her very embarrassed.
In the final analysis, Bai Yiyan just minded that he didn't tell herself, she knew that it was just entertainment, nothing.
She can understand that she believes Mei Changqing's apology.
She believed in the relationship between them, so in the end his apology was still easy for her to accept.
The anger still disappeared quickly, Bai Yiyan turned around, hid in Mei Changqing's arms, and stretched out his hand to hug Mei Changqing.
"Lord, talk to the concubine wherever you go in the future, if you go and return, I will also be jealous, unhappy, and I don't like the smell of others on you. Allowing a concubine to be so selfish just wants you to be a concubine. Bai Yiyan's confession also made Mei Changqing very moved.
"Yiyan, I will never let you down in my life." Mei Changqing looked at Bai Yiyan seriously, what he said, he would do it.
Bai Yiyan believed what he said, and tonight's events should be passed like this.
Between husband and wife, what should not be there is overnight gas, and now that the misunderstanding between the two people has been resolved, there is nothing.
The princess's wedding day is also approaching, and Mei Chaoxi's mood has been much better these days.
Mei Nianliao saw that Mei Chaoxi was in a very good mood, and specially rewarded several batches of special gifts to come to the princess's courtyard, and the courtyard was full of dazzling gifts.
Marrying Yuan Ming is just a name, and if she stays up for another year, she can regain her freedom, and when the time comes, there will be a new beginning with Qin Yan.
Mei Chaoxi thought so and thought of the wedding day.
There are also many foreigners who come, the Western Regions and Mongolia are some relatively powerful countries, and they have cooperated with Yun Yao all year round, so the princess is married, so she naturally wants to come and see it.
As they walked through the streets, they were all very conspicuous, and the people had never seen the Gentiles, pointing at them, and talking about them.
Nalan Rongle showed a charming smile, lifted the curtain of the car, and leaned out.
How did the people know that in a carriage following behind them, there would be a bewitching woman, and the hearts of several passers-by were about to be hooked by her.
Nalan Ur reprimanded in the carriage: "Rongle, what are you doing! Why seduce the Han people to lower their status! β
Nalan Rongle was very unhappy, retracted his body, sat back in the carriage, and said with a light smile: "These ordinary people, I am just teasing them. β
"I heard that several princes of the royal family of Yunyao Kingdom are also handsome, but most of them are married, and only one young fifteenth prince is still married."
"Fifteen princes? Young? How small does that have to be? β
"Isn't it very small, but fifteen, no matter how you say that you are two years old, I'm afraid you won't be favored by him." Naranur said.
His sister, he knew what temperament she had since she was a child, and when she was in Mongolia, she played with men in the palm of her hand.
Mongolian girls are different from Central Plains girls, Mongolian girls are more bold, but they also have their own bottom line, that is, they will not go to the last step.
When he heard that he was fifteen years younger than that, Nalan Rongle had no interest in Mei Nianyao, and he looked disdainful.
"I won't think about it at the age of fifteen, you said that those married princes are really handsome." Nalan Rongle leaned on the window sill of the carriage with one hand and looked at Nalan Ur leisurely.
"Of course, but don't hit them with your ideas, they may have wives and children."
"What! Isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines! β
Your looked at Rong Le's indifferent expression and frowned: "You are Mongolian Gege!" How can you say such a thing, what about other people's three wives and four concubines, what does it have to do with you, in the future, you can only be someone's wife! We Nalan never come out of the side! β
"Then what if I meet someone I like and he has a wife! I'd rather be with him, or I'd get his wife away! Rong Le is still very childish, and the words he says are also naΓ―ve.
Your didn't realize the seriousness of Rong Le's words at all, he just regarded it as a child's competitive spirit to grab playthings, and he didn't appreciate it.
He moved his position, and said patiently to Rong Le: "At this moment, don't think so much, the men in the Central Plains may not be suitable for you, I advise you, or wait until you return to Mongolia after attending the banquet, and I will ask Ama to find you a good warrior!" β
"I don't want warriors, what kind of crooked melons and cracked dates are those warriors, you can see for yourself, you don't want to change you!"
The two of them are not only judging from the dress, they are the standard of the golden boy and the girl, and the two of them are indeed very compatible.
When Rong Le looked at Mei Changqing's face, he had a hint of heartbeat, and sure enough, a handsome person was still easy to attract the attention of others.
Mei Changqing is such a person, his appearance makes Rong Le like it very much, so he almost found a chance to have contact with Mei Changqing.
The big wedding is naturally a song and dance, and Mei Nianliao's condolences to neighboring countries are indispensable.
When asked about Mongolia, Nalan Rongle's eyes moved, and he thought of a good way to give himself the opportunity to contact Mei Changqing.
"Prince your, is it okay to come to the Khan today?" Mei Nianliao asked.
Nalan Ur put his hand on his chest and saluted Mei Nianliao, "If you go back to the emperor, Ama is all safe." β
"That's good, Yun Yao is overjoyed today, it's a pity that the Khan doesn't come, who is the one next to you.?" Mei Nianliao looked at Nalan Rongle and asked curiously.
This woman has a pair of big eyes, and her appearance is also beautiful, and the deep Mei Nianliao likes it.
Nalan Wuer seemed to see the meaning in Mei Nianliao's eyes, and heard that the emperor of Yunyao Kingdom did not have a single concubine by his side, and since the former empress died, his harem no longer existed.
It has been many years since the harem was re-established, and if my sister could enter the Yunyao Kingdom and become the emperor's only favorite concubine, what a glory.
Not to mention anything else, glory and wealth are exclusive to you, and life is perfect.
Ur hurriedly introduced: "Back to the emperor, this is Ling Mei Nalan Rongle." β
"The little girl has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Nalan Rongle stood up and saluted.
"Rong Le? A good name indeed, how old is it? Mei Nianliao looked at Nalan Rongle with interest.
"Back to the emperor, the little girl is seventeen."
After Mei Nianliao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, and praised again and again in his mouth, and did not continue to say anything.
Everyone seemed to understand something, it was rare for the emperor to be so curious about a woman, so everyone knew the emperor's thoughts.
If the emperor really has that kind of mind, it is naturally the best, and none of the show girls selected before have been selected into the palace.
Only when he saw a Mongolian girl here, the emperor fell in love, very good, very good, and the foreign girl was indeed very good-looking.
Nalan Rongle looked at Mei Changqing with his spare eyes, as if Mei Changqing didn't pay much attention to this matter at all, and he didn't pay attention to her self-introduction.
Mei Changqing just saw Mei Nianliao ask some things from Mongolia, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the rest.
Today, it is rare to transport shrimp in the palace, Bai Yiyan has never eaten this thing, and he is greedy when he looks at it.
Mei Changqing didn't like to let the eunuchs help them peel the shrimp, they thought it was better not to touch these with their hands, if they couldn't handle it cleanly, they wouldn't be comfortable eating.
This is a naked disgusting person, but he is like this, after all, he is the prince, and the others are just subordinates, how can there be so many things to care about.
Mei Changqing was trying to peel shrimp for Bai Yiqing, and Bai Yiqing was also leaning on Mei Changqing's side and watching him peel shrimp.
The two of them sat on the side, and the interaction was also envious of others.
Nalan Rongle looked at the interaction between the two, ignoring her at all, she felt very angry, she was no worse than the princess next to Mei Changqing.
She's just as good-looking, don't they all say that men are womanizers, why don't they even look at her.
Maybe she forgot that men are indeed womanizers, but she doesn't know the relationship between Mei Changqing and Bai Yiyan.
"Changqing, how are you and Yi Yan doing these days?" Mei Nianliao was obviously asking about the children, how could Bai Yiyan know that the emperor would come to comfort them in front of so many people.
Mei Nianliao only saw Bai Yiyan here, and then remembered that Mei Changqing's physical condition was also recovering well, and the two of them should also put some things on the agenda.
Mei Nianyao sat aside and said teasingly: "Your Majesty, the appearance of the starling brother and the eighth sister-in-law looks intimate, just now I personally peeled the shrimp for the eighth sister-in-law, it seems that it is very cared for, and the younger brothers will prepare things for the children in the future." β
"Oh? Even Little Fifteen can see it, Eighth Brother, if you have any good things, you have to tell me early! When the time comes, let the civil and military officials come to celebrate! β
"Eighth brother, what do you think of that Nalan Rongle?" Mei Nianliao held back all night, and when he saw Rong Le, he wanted to take it for himself.
finally met a person he was satisfied with, and he also wanted to ask Mei Changqing what his opinion was.
Mei Changqing didn't know much about that Nalan Rongle, and she didn't pay attention to her appearance at the banquet, besides, she was a Mongolian, and if she wanted to enter Yunyao Kingdom, would Mongolia agree.
Mongolian Gege married into Yun Yao as a concubine? The Khan probably wouldn't have agreed.
"Brother Chen doesn't know that person very well, just took a look, if you want to look at it by her appearance, this girl is indeed okay, if you talk about character, Brother Huang, you and I are also in contact for the first time, so let's think about it more and make a decision."
"You're right." Mei Changqing also said that just because people are good-looking, they can't be included in the harem.
Mei Chaoxi, who ended the day's wedding banquet, finally sat on the marriage bed to rest, and the hijab was also uncovered in accordance with the wedding customs.
After the bride left, Mei Chaoxi let go of herself, and Yuan Ming was a little moved when she saw such a beautiful Mei Chaoxi.
If he can really marry Mei Chaoxi and spend his life, how good it would be.
But he knew that the twisted melon was not sweet, and the person Mei Chaoxi liked was not himself, and if he forced it to come, it would only cause her disgust.
Yuan Ming is a gentleman, and he won't mess with her no matter what.
Mei Chaoxi took off the decorations on her head, with Yuan Ming here, it was very inconvenient to change her clothes, she was wearing a wedding dress, walked behind the screen, and changed her underwear.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming was also embarrassed to turn his head and let Mei Chaoxi go to bed first.
The two of them only verbally agreed to be husband and wife, and Yuan Ming naturally had to abide by the agreement, so he spread a futon on the ground and covered it with another futon.
After that, he will sleep on the ground, and as long as he returns to the Pony Mansion tomorrow, he will sleep in separate rooms.
When both of them lay down and were about to rest, Mei Chaoxi looked at the candle flame and thought of Qin Yan.
I didn't see Qin Yan today, and I don't know what he is doing now, maybe he doesn't want to see himself get married.
That day, the two also talked for a long time, Mei Chaoxi asked Qin Yan to wait for her well, she would not have anything to do with Yuan Ming, and asked Qin Yan to believe her.
Qin Yan nodded, no matter what Mei Chaoxi said was true or not, if he had the opportunity to have her again, he would be willing to wait for her all his life.
Mei Chaoxi is also lucky, she met Qin Yan, an infatuated species, if she were to be another man, she might turn around and hug others.
"Yuan Ming, what do you say is the point of our marriage?" Mei Chaoxi suddenly asked Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming, who was lying on the ground, didn't know that Mei Chaoxi would suddenly ask such a question, so he replied: "Perhaps, the emperor is just thinking about you, Your Royal Highness the Princess." β
Yuan Ming doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't understand the pros and cons, he just thinks that Mei Chaoxi doesn't need to be involved in the government.
But Mei Chaoxi knew that he was a chess piece from the beginning, otherwise he would not have resisted so much, maybe he had met Yuan Ming earlier, if he didn't know Mei Nianliao's purpose, Mei Chaoxi would feel that Yuan Ming was also a person who could be considered.
It's just that everything came a little later, meeting the right person at the wrong time, and meeting the wrong thing at the right time.
Everything is like a circle, going around and around them, enveloping them in it.
They are all just people who are arranged, and they are just people who are sent by others, and what choice do they have in their lives?
Yuan Ming was more fortunate that he probably chose to participate in the imperial examination and became a martial champion, and he was able to complete his ambitions, and he really didn't think about anything else.
Being able to marry Mei Chaoxi is probably really Yuan Ming's luck this time, whether it is true or false with Mei Chaoxi, it is his luck in Yuan Ming's life.
