Chapter 16: The Gully of Desire
"The princess understands medicine?"
"The concubine doesn't understand, these are just idle watches."
"Reading a book of herbs? The princess is really interested. ”
"The concubine is stupid."
The corners of the book were already hairy, and they were obviously often flipped through, Xiao Changqi glanced at Ye Qingyan again and turned the first page. saw a very delicate name - Ming Longyue.
Ye Qingyan had been observing him attentively, and when he saw the name on the book, he explained: "Ming Longyue is the name of the concubine's mother. ”
"The word is characteristic, and the mother-in-law should be a woman with a blue heart." Xiao Changqi said.
"Your Highness Xie's praise." Ye Qingyan smiled.
Xiao Changqi noticed her smile...... It's very gentle, with a warm smell.
However, the smile was fleeting.
Xiao Changqi continued to flip through the contents of the book. Some of them are patterned, and Xiao Changqi will look at them twice, as if he is thinking about where he has seen this kind of grass.
"Reading these books, will you think about looking for these herbs, and then confirm whether they have the healing effect as written in the books?"
"Don't hide it from Your Highness, the concubine once thought about it."
"Did you do it?"
"Nope."
"Oh?"
"Everyone has a variety of desires, but not all desires are allowed to be fulfilled. It's like a fish in the water yearning for the sky, but when it really comes out, it is certain to die. ”
Xiao Changqi looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Ye Qingyan still looked like she was bowing her head, as if the person who spoke just now was not her.

In Ye Mansion, after Ye Guangzhong sent off the last group of relatives and friends, he was finally able to rest and return to the inner courtyard.
Ye Shi had already prepared hot tea and was waiting for Ye Guangzhong.
"Master has worked hard, let's take a sip of tea."
"You're not easy today, I'll let the kitchen stew tonic soup, remember to drink it later."
"Thank you, Master Xie." Ye sat down under Ye Guangzhong.
Ye Guangzhong took a sip of tea and said, "What about Ning'er?" ”
Ye replied: "I asked her to copy the fourth book of the woman ten times behind closed doors, today is really rude, and I also smoked her a duster." ”
Originally, Ye Guangzhong also wanted to lecture Ye Jingning, but when he heard that he had been punished by the Ye family and beaten up, he felt distressed for a while.
"What are you doing beating the child, just talk about her."
"Master, I'll take care of the rest, and I have to do the rules. She is thirteen years old this year, and if she doesn't understand the rules so much, she will come to her in-law's house to suffer. ”
"Well, listen to you. Where is the princess...... Did you tell her? Ye Guangzhong's expression was a lot more solemn.
Ye Shi knew what he was asking, and shook his head, "No, it doesn't make sense." ”
"If it doesn't work, forget it. It's just that the Ye Mansion already has a daughter married to the prince, unless there are other daughters who marry into other princes' mansions, otherwise we will be members of the Nine Emperors' faction. Currently, the Nine Emperors ...... Alas! ”
Ye Shi thought about the Nine Emperor Princes she saw today, and she didn't want to be as violent as the rumors, but her appearance was indeed handsome and impressive, which was unforgettable. Today, I don't know how many of the coquettish people in the house will be ape-minded, and these sisters in the house will inevitably be annoyed.

Ye Qingyan got down from the carriage, looked at the magnificent five three-opening vermilion lacquer gates of the Nine Princes' Mansion, and the three big characters of the majestic Nine Princes Mansion on the door, and stopped.
Chunyu took off the wrapperskin containing the herb book from the carriage, put it on his shoulder, and then hugged Ye Qingyan, "Princess, let's go back." ”
