Only some people were left to take care of the aftermath that night, Ye Mingting saw that Bai Yulan was a little tired, and without thinking too much, he directly took the person back to rest, he also took out a piece of incense powder from his sleeve and gently sprinkled it from his fingers, so that Bai Yulan could sleep more deeply.

This conspiracy involving a group of people in the court did not last long, and most of the news of Concubine Duan's death was also expected by Ye Mingting, and the next day everyone in the court came to see them, mostly to crusade against the builders of the lantern corridor and the like, they did not dare to be angry at the emperor for holding this banquet, so they could only find soft persimmons to pinch.

Many of the daughters of ministers were summoned to the palace, and the accident resulted in heavy casualties, and they complained that anger was normal and pitiful.

"Your Majesty, please punish these builders severely, as well as those craftsmen who guarded yesterday! The many wives and daughters in the old minister's family were regarded as the singers who danced that day, but because of this incident, they are now seriously ill in bed, Your Majesty, please be clear! A minister cried.

Another official admonished: "Your Majesty, the major incident that happened this time must be severely punished in order to calm the hearts of the people." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor is most annoyed by these officials on weekdays, and today he knows that although there are some mistakes, but the sin is not this, yes, he threw this matter to Ye Mingting with a special headache, and also said that he should shoulder the responsibility of comforting the people.

Ye Mingting stood at the head of the hundred officials, looking particularly eye-catching, he arched his hand and said: "Minister, this matter will definitely be strictly investigated." ”

"I will entrust this matter to you, Ye Aiqing, you don't want to live up to my expectations." The emperor said earnestly.

Although in Ye Mingting's eyes, he felt so ironic and funny.

When Ye Mingting came back, he looked very tired, and as soon as he came back, he fell asleep on the small couch placed in the front hall, Bai Yulan passed by the flower hall, pushed the door open slightly, and covered him with a thin quilt.

Only then did he gently close the door and retreat.

Bai Yulan instructed the rest of the soldiers standing at the door, his tone was slightly harsh, but he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "If there is something important, don't let anyone else come in and disturb Hou Ye's purity." ”

After that, she walked away, and Lu Yi chased after her, envious: "Madame is really gentle in dealing with Hou Ye." ”

Bai Yulan smiled and reciprocated, even if it is a husband and wife, they should abide by this, otherwise, it will be difficult for this unilateral relationship to come to the end.

"But Master Hou, it's better for me." She looked at Greenery and sighed.

After all, everything was quietly arranged for her, and even she didn't know it.

"Madame and Master Hou are really the most loving couple I have ever seen in the capital." Green said enviously.

Bai Yulan walked halfway, suddenly stopped, turned around and knocked on Luyi's forehead, and said with a smile: "You little girl, you have served a few Houmen couples in the capital." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yulan suddenly remembered one thing, in the past few days, it was Ye Mingting's grandmother's birthday, but he never mentioned it, but she was tired and almost forgotten.

"Prepare some gifts for me when I enter the palace, and then instruct the cook to make some exquisite pastries...... Bai Yulan paused, and suddenly laughed and said: "That's it, you don't need to prepare pastries, I'll make some today, and tomorrow, you accompany me to the White Horse Temple." ”

The little girl was obviously stunned, and asked with a blank face: "White Horse Temple?" Is Madame going to incense? ”

"Go see someone." As she spoke, she hurried away with the hem of her skirt, leaving Luyi alone in the spot, looking dazed.

If she goes to see her grandmother, she makes some pastries by herself, which is more appropriate, and it can be regarded as a heart.

She remembered that in the capital, there were several ingredient shops, spices, and some sundries, although the store was not big, but it was better than having everything, thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that there was no store as convenient as a modern supermarket in ancient times.

"What do you want today, lady?" The shopkeeper greeted him very warmly and said, "I have also got the acacia paste you mentioned last time, you can choose some things in the shop first, and I will go to the warehouse to bring you things." ”

The shopkeeper is very familiar with Bai Yulan, and when she is almost idle, she always likes to come to this shop to buy some things in case of emergency, and she buys more things, and she has known the shopkeeper back and forth.

Bai Yulan walked around, and Lu Yi also wore a veil and followed her, both of them wore civilian clothes, just like an inconspicuous ordinary woman in the lights of thousands of homes in the capital.

Next to this grocery store is a rouge gouache shop, under the strong blow of Bai Yulan's shop, it still hasn't collapsed, but it has a bit of real ability, this shop has always focused on ancient recipes, and she has a different traffic direction from the halfway come.

A few little guys waiting at the door of the shop began to talk about the masters: "Eh, have you heard, it is said that the last time the Tuoba prince went to propose marriage to Princess Mingshan, but he was rejected." ”

"What? Is Princess Mingshan already so favored? Alas, thinking about it, I can still remember the princess Ronghua, who was particularly favored before, this royal preference really becomes fast. A woman sighed and said: "It is estimated that after Princess Ronghua fell out of favor, she must have had a miserable life, but Concubine Duan seemed to have died yesterday, and Concubine Nalan may have to regain her strength." ”

"The women in this palace are withering so quickly, Concubine Duan is gone, there are more young and beautiful ones, Concubine Lan is just an old person, what the emperor is reading now, it is estimated that it is love." A woman scoffed.

"But the princess of that Mingshan is really married, but he doesn't treat her badly, it is said that this Tuoba clan is not like other barbarians, and his wife is not to be shared, besides, this prince is said to be very handsome." Another voice was full of anticipation.

"You women are chattering here and guessing what, the princess is fascinated by a handsome boy, it's really ......" The first little guy who was taking rouge finally spoke, it seems that he may be Li Mingshan's guard.

The little guy seemed to be very dissatisfied, and while walking, he scolded and said, "I really don't know what the princess thinks, she actually thinks about such an unknown person, if she suffers in the future......"

The little guy who could be released from the palace to buy things for her, thinking that his respect for Li Mingshan was not low, Bai Yulan frowned, and a sense of guilt suddenly rose in her heart.

She originally seduced Li Mingshan with the intention of keeping her shop and taking revenge for pranks, but now this situation really makes people feel guilty.

Lu Yi looked at Bai Yulan hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

She knew that the son who was confused by Li Mingshan's mind in this little guy's mouth was pretended to be by his wife.

"That's it, when the time comes, write a letter to her, and cut off her thoughts early, so as not to make people worry." Bai Yulan frowned.

She doesn't want to owe people feelings, feelings are always the most difficult to repay.

"This lady, these acacia ointments were made by the craftsmen a few days ago, and they are still fresh." The shopkeeper smiled and handed over a large bag of things, and Green handed over the things he had purchased this time to settle the bill.

When Ye Mingting woke up, he saw the thin quilt covered on his body, which was embroidered with spring flowers, and it also had a little smell of Bai Yulan.

"Where has Madame gone?" Ye Mingting asked the guard at the door.

"I'm going to go shopping." The guard was clear, and hesitated and said: "Hou Ye, the princess in the Hou Mansion is making a fuss about wanting to see you again, and he also asked someone to inquire about your whereabouts, in addition, Tuoba Hongyi sent someone to hand you a post, Hou Ye has been in the Zhuangzi day and night for more than half a month, I don't know ......"

"Let's go back tomorrow." Ye Mingting said lightly.

When Bai Yulan came back, he saw that Ye Mingting was already awake and half-leaning on the Taishi chair, he was idle, he was a little happy to see her coming, his eyes moved from her to the large pile of things held by Lu Yi behind him, and said: "These things, just leave them directly to the next person to do, Madame will do it herself, it is too tiring Madame." ”

Bai Yulan was a little amused by his remarks, and said, "Where do you start with this? I'm not used to having someone waiting for me, and besides, I'm at home all day, but I don't know what to do, and now I just remember to go to the White Horse Temple. ”

As she spoke, a little servant came over and hugged all the things she and Luyi were carrying.

"Grandmother, I remember that my birthday was around this time, why do we have to go for a trip, tomorrow, let's go together, okay? Do you have other things to do? Her eyes were radiant, and Ye Mingting, who was looking at it, couldn't bear to refuse.

"In the morning, I have to go back to the Hou Mansion, shall we go over at noon?" He asked.

"It's okay."

The servant brought a basin of water to clean her hands, and after she cleaned her hands and wiped them carefully with a towel, she sat opposite Ye Mingting, and the servant had already brought the meal.

"I was thinking that in the afternoon, I would go and make the pastries, and then put them to smoke with just the right flowers, and since you have prepared lunch, then I will delay for a while and do it later."

As she spoke, she picked up the jade and began to eat happily.

Seeing that she ate so fragrantly, Ye Mingting also felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and the spread of this emotion made him also have a great appetite, and he ate several bowls of rice in one go.

He likes to watch Bai Yulan worry about his affairs the most, and then take care of those trivial things, although it is extremely boring and complicated, but for some reason, he always feels very peaceful.

He used to fight the battlefield, living a life of fear, although he established his current prestige, but after all, there was still something missing in his heart, some empty, when she was here, she felt very complete.

Bai Yulan looked at Ye Mingting's eyes becoming extraordinarily deep, silently took a sip of food, thinking about the things that had been stuffing in her heart in the past few days, and said, "You have a good appetite today, but I always have a few things on my mind, and I have to find someone to help me solve it." ”

Ye Mingting raised his eyebrows to look at her and motioned for her to continue.

"My mother hasn't contacted me for a while, and she doesn't necessarily seem to be in Islam until she convinces me, but now that she's alone in the capital, I'm a little worried." Bai Yulan said, and couldn't help sighing, Hua Qinglian left that day, as if she had been stimulated by something, maybe there was something important, she was her mother after all, and now that she thinks about it, she is always a little uneasy.
