Chapter 354: Exploring the Prime Minister's Mansion at Night
Ye Qingyan has been here a few times, so it is no longer strange for the simple and simple appearance of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But Qingze has never been here, it is very strange, the huge Shijin Prime Minister's Mansion, there is not even a lamppost, and you can vaguely see the mottled peeling of the wall skin, some have just been mended, and other places are spliced very unnaturally.
"Master, is this really the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The average rich man is better than that. And just now at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was not even a lantern to illuminate. I thought it was a momentary negligence and forgot to order, but now it seems that it should not be ordered.
"So, our Prime Minister, he is really a good official who is honest and honest." Ye Qingyan said with a smile.
"Thank you for the praise, I dare not be ashamed." Ren Ran appeared at the gate of the outer courtyard with a robe draped over his thin shoulders and his hands in his sleeves. And said to Xiaoguo: "You go down first, don't worry about this side of the matter." ”
"Yes, sir." Xiaoguo rubbed his sleepy eyes, gave the lantern to Ren Ran, and went back to his ear room to continue to meet Zhou Gong.
Ye Qingyan took off the cloak and hat on his head, and also took off the face towel, revealing a beautiful face that was extremely charming, "Prime Minister." ”
"Mother, please come in." Ren Ran looked at her face, leaned over, and asked Ye Qingyan to enter the courtyard.
Ye Qingyan took Qingze and entered the courtyard gate.
She and Xiao Changqi have come here together, so they are not unfamiliar. But Katsusawa felt that something was wrong.
In the middle of the night, the queen mother visited the prime minister's mansion, which was already very inappropriate, and she entered the prime minister's room.
"Mother." Qing Ze grabbed Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's bedroom is his study, it doesn't matter." ”
Ren Ran smiled and looked at Qing Ze, he had actually heard of this for a long time, but he had really never seen it.
"Your Highness the Princess." Ren Ran revealed her true identity in one word.
Kamisawa was surprised: "...... How do you know? ”
Ye Qingyan said: "He, he is the initiator of your Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch, and he is also the leader of the first generation of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Later, after handing over the sexagenary branch to His Majesty, he no longer served as the commander, but some old sexagenary branches, such as Gui, Ren, Zi, and Chen, still recognized him, and His Majesty also trusted him. ”
Qing Ze was even more shocked, and hurriedly saluted Ren Ran, "My subordinates have seen adults." ”
"No, no, I'm no longer in the Sexagenary Branch, don't call me back." He has no extra energy to deal with other things except sleeping and eating every day.
When I entered the room, I was greeted by a stove heater and several bookshelves crammed with books.
Behind the bookshelf, by the window, there is a desk, and there are no chairs, because where the chairs are placed, are also full of books. Only on a small piece of floor tiles without books, a few dusty mats rested.
Ye Qingyan naturally sat on a cushion, and because there was a hearth burning in the room, the ground was warm, dispelling the cold air that had come all the way.
Seeing that Katsusawa was still standing, he patted the mat beside him, "Come, Kamisawa." ”
Kazusawa looked at Ren Ran.
Ren Ran smiled at her, "The place is shabby, please don't mind Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"Adults don't need to call me princess, now I'm just my mother's personal maid." Light Ze said to Ren Ran.
Ren Ran nodded, "Light girl, is it okay?" ”
"Please call it that." It's true that Katsusawa has never thought of himself as a princess, so this title sounds like calling someone else.
Ren Ran pulled out a basket from under the desk, and inside was a basket of oranges.
"There's nothing to entertain."
"Yikes! I like to eat this the most. Ye Qingyan stretched out his hand and took two of them, and gave Qingze a big one, "The citrus of the Prime Minister's Mansion is better than the tribute." ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Katsusawa took the orange.
Ren Ran asked: "Niangniang visited late at night, does Your Majesty know?" ”
Ye Qingyan shook his head very dryly, "He doesn't know." ”
Speaking of Xiao Changqi, Ye Qingyan remembered that Xiao Changqi was fighting with him, and looked him up and down, "You, where are you injured?" ”
Ren Ran replied: "No, the minister is very good." ”
"Really?" Ye Qingyan was suspicious, "But Your Majesty said you...... I won't be able to go to court for several days. ”
"The minister has to prepare for the appointment of the deposed envoy, so he will not go to the morning court these days, but he will still enter the palace to deal with official business."
"Are you really not hurt?" Ye Qingyan saw that he was wearing a thin shirt, and there was only a slanted shirt under his robe, his eyes narrowed, and he pounced on him suddenly, and then ripped off his shirt violently......
A piece of delicate and tight jade skin appeared in front of him, and there was no appearance of bruises.
She shot too fast, and she was caught off guard, and she was stupid on the spot!
Yet, no woman has dared to pounce on him like this.
Even Kazusawa was dumbfounded, "Mother, mother!" ”
What are you doing here?
Ye Qingyan saw that he was indeed not injured, and remembered Xiao Changqi's injured appearance, "He is bruised, but you are not injured, so did you win your fight?" ”
Ren Ran understood......
finally knew why Xiao Changqi was able to block his attack, but he still deliberately took a few hits.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought in his mind whether to expose a certain emperor's 'shameless' trick to seek favor!
And Ye Qingyan was obviously not stupid, and quickly figured out something, so his coquettish face was completely speechless, and finally sighed, "What a stupid." ”
Qingze didn't understand the mystery at all, she was still shocked that the queen mother pounced on the prime minister!
She, what to do? Do you want to report this to Your Majesty?!
But if His Majesty had known, would he have punished the queen and the prime minister?
Oh, my God! She was so entangled that she didn't know what to do.
When Qingze was entangled in whether to tell Xiao Changqi about this, Ye Qingyan had already told Ren Ran about Zhuang Xiuyi's wrists.
"So...... Niangniang is worried that Zhuang Xiuyi's cutting of her wrists will cause the court forces to exchange blood? Ren Ran immediately understood what Ye Qingyan meant, "Also, Niangniang wants the minister to help keep Zhuang Xiuyi." ”
Ye Qingyan nodded, "Hmm." Now that the power of the imperial court has stabilized, the balance of forces on all sides is just right, and there is no need to change anything for the sake of the harem woman's momentary affection. ”
"Zhongshu Ling is indeed a capable minister, and when His Majesty was still the Nine Emperors, he took refuge with a hint of discernment. And after His Majesty ascended the throne, he did his best to assist. This point, Wei Chen can see it. ”
"Well, that's true." Ye Qingyan nodded.
"Since there is no problem with the Zhongshu Order for the time being, then Zhuang Xiuyi's cutting of his wrists is only a matter of the harem. Your Majesty should not be involved in the Dao Dynasty. And the Chinese book order does not move, and Zhuang Xiuyi is still Zhuang Xiuyi. There may be a small punishment, but there should be no major punishment. ”
