82 to catch the wind
The news that the three princes were in harmony soon spread throughout the capital.
The emperor was grateful for the sacrifice of this daughter, and treated Concubine Jin and the eldest prince with a lot of harmony.
I don't know if it was an epiphany or something, but he was like an ordinary old man in the twilight, and liked to call the prince to him and talk about the ignorant and happy times of their childhood.
His Majesty the Emperor took great pains to repair the brotherhood between the two sons, but unfortunately it did not have much effect.
The person is still alive, he said that the prince should do anything, and the eldest prince also made superficial flattery, and once he left the holy palace, he changed his face.
Ye Congwei paid close attention for a while, but did not hear any rumors.
She didn't know how many people were involved in that day's incident, and how many people in the know.
Recently, there has been a lot of stories about princesses and relatives, and the rest have never heard of it.
Thinking that no matter how bold the prince is, he will not dare to publicize this matter openly, he will definitely hold it down.
Again...... In the past, Qi Xuan would occasionally follow Qi Su out of the palace to drink and have fun, but now he doesn't even dare to see each other.
Ye Congwei was not curious about their fake uncle-nephew friendship at all, and the matter was hidden, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that it's like a sharp blade hanging over your head, and you don't know when it may fall.
Ye Congwei hated the prince to death, and even suspected that this was fate's sanction for her.
In her previous life, she was a noble woman who made a private decision for life, and the ugly thing to hear was that she was not reserved and did not love herself, and she died with a pair of evil hands that added fuel to the trouble.
There is no such crisis in this life, but there is an uncontrollable Qi Xuan.
Could it be that she will not escape death?
That's it, and it's going to be notorious.
How terrible are the words, and they grasp the hole, and spit vigorously into it, in the most vicious words.
At the moment, Ye Congwei has Qi Su's trust, but she doesn't know how long this trust can be maintained.
Don't dare to bet, one day when something happens, is Qi Su willing to protect her?
If everyone rumors that Princess Yu has something to do with the crown prince, it is also a harm to Qi Su.
Ordinary men will feel disgraced, annoyed and angry, and the anger of betrayal will force him to kill people to vent his anger.
Ye Congwei had to imagine this situation, because she didn't say it alone, and she couldn't cover it herself.
At this time, she would pray urgently that Qi Su move faster, pull the prince down, control his mouth and stop talking nonsense.
At that point, it's easy to sit back and relax.
It's a pity that the time has not come, and now is still the time when the prince is the most proud, and he is expected to return.
Ye Congwei could only be careful again and again, think twice before acting, and directly said that he was sick and did not go out.
********
On the side of the Chengtai Marquis Mansion, the Liu family, who was stranded in the capital, planned to return to Yangzhou.
There is always a time limit for being a guest, and Liu Lizhong is concerned about Liu Mingke's marriage again, and rushes back to set her wedding date.
Ye Congwei said that he did not return to his parents' house during his illness, and only then did he show up to see him off.
Liu Mingke and Liu Zhen prepared gifts for their peers, and even secretly warned their cousins that people must have a lot of concerns when they grow up, otherwise they will be unfilial.
Even if the Liu family is a merchant, it is also a figure with a face in Yangzhou City, and Liu Mingke can't just take care of himself.
Ye Congwei felt that it was right not to let her know the one from Qingli Peak, otherwise she might elope one day!
"My cousin is bitter, I am really comforted in my heart," Liu Mingke bowed his head and said, "I thought I annoyed you some time ago and ignored me." ”
"There is no such thing," Ye Congwei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am indeed sick." ”
For the first time in my life, I saw that kind of incense, and I was scared out of my illness even if I wasn't sick.
"How are you doing now?" Liu Mingke looked at her carefully: "It seems to be a little thinner." ”
"Really?" Ye Congwei touched her cheeks, and she was afraid that she would become more and more rounded.
The two whispered a few words, the carriage was about to leave, and Liu Mingke reluctantly got into the car.
The Liu family left, Ye Congwei was not in a hurry to go back, and followed him to Chengtaihou Mansion to leave a meal.
I went to visit the old lady first, the corners of her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried, and she was extremely reluctant to give up her younger brother's family.
"Maybe it's hard to see each other again in this life."
"Mother is not allowed to talk nonsense!" Ye Ticheng looked terrified.
The old lady said lightly: "At my age, what are the taboos?" ”
"Grandmother, don't be sad, my uncle will come back next year." Ye Congwei stepped forward with a smile.
The old lady shook her head: "He's also old, so why bother." ”
The car and horses are tired, and the mountains are indeed far away, but ......
"My uncle likes to ride horses and shoot arrows at first glance, and the more active people are, the younger they are, and the stronger they are."
"Didn't you fall last year?" The old lady sighed: "I also broke my leg, and I'm not afraid of the jokes of the juniors." ”
Ye Shuo on the side answered: "Grandmother knows, because the horse happened to be sick." ”
"Whether you are sick or not, riding a horse is always dangerous." The old lady glanced at him warningly.
It's not that she is against the child riding a horse, Ye Shuo likes it, and the second master stops it the most.
"My grandson knows." Ye Shuo touched his nose, lest he be pulled out to make a teaching material.
Coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Ye Shuo followed Ye Congwei step by step, spitting out bitterness.
"I used to be the youngest in my family, but now that I have Brother Li, I have set an example for a lot."
"Isn't it very good, if you have eyes to watch, you will naturally be cautious in your words and deeds and lead by example."
"I can't help it," Ye Shuo said: "Liu Zhen gave me a knife and took it away from my father." ”
Ye Congwei frowned when he heard this: "Don't you have a small dagger, what kind of knife do you need?" ”
Why do you send these hurtful weapons, probably the same as the girl's family likes jewelry?
"A knife is different from a dagger, it has such a long ......" Ye Shuo gestured, his face full of heartache, "My father said it was a plaything." ”
Ye Congwei's eyebrows moved slightly, she knew that the family let a few brothers go on a career and participate in scientific expeditions, and they couldn't make Brother Shuo indulge in martial arts.
But...... Everyone has a preference, and it can't be blindly suppressed.
Ye Congwei smiled: "You do your homework well, I will quietly give you a good knife when you have grown." ”
"Really?" Ye Shuo's eyes lit up.
He didn't be happy for long, and soon became suspicious: "Fifth sister, where did you get the knife?" ”
"I don't have it, the prince will always have it, right?" Ye Congwei glanced at him.
Ye Shuo was a little embarrassed, but he was still happy, and waved at her: "That sister has to prepare things, and the younger brother will come to you soon to cash in." ”
"I must keep my promise," Ye Congwei curled the corners of his mouth and said, "You just need to remember that the question of proportion I raised with you is too much." ”
The same is true of playthings.
"Fifth sister, don't worry," Ye Shuo's face turned slightly straight, "I know what the situation is in the family now." ”
People in the world are accustomed to worshipping high and stepping on low, and even small and primary schools are inevitably vulgar.
The older generation of Chengtai Houfu is not high or low, and the younger generation of the eldest brother and third brother are not plastic, and their face outside has long been much worse than before.
In the long run, I really don't know where to fall.
Ye Shuo is young, and he can't take such a big responsibility on himself, but at present, he is the most talented of the three.
There is a huge Hou Mansion, supported by only two talented people, which is too ugly.
*********
After lunch, Ye Congwei returned to the palace, changed his clothes and lay down on the low couch to rest.
I was about to take a nap when I heard a noise in the courtyard outside.
Ye Congwei was so noisy that she opened her eyes and called Si Zhu to ask, "Is the prince outside?" ”
"Yes," Si Zhu nodded: "The prince was entertaining guests in the study, saying that he was going to the front yard to set up wine, and asked the princess if she wanted to have a drink." ”
"What kind of guests are you entertaining?" Ye Congwei asked.
Si Zhu shook his head: "The slave maid glanced at it from a distance and didn't recognize it. ”
Ye Congwei sat up and thought about it, Qi Su hadn't brought back that group of fox friends for a long time, and if he could entertain guests in the study, he wouldn't be a gentleman.
"Change my clothes for me, let's go see."
Since he asked her if she wanted to drink, he probably wanted her to show her face, just to satisfy her curiosity a little.
Ye Congwei changed into the clothes of the guests, took the boss Zhu Simei and the others, and went to the front yard.
It was bustling there, and Steward Lu commanded his subordinates to go in and out, holding delicacies and wine in his hands.
Ye Congwei's eyes were sharp, and he found that the common subordinates had changed several.
When she entered the back room, An Yan ran fast and informed her, and when she walked in, Chang Fu had already prepared the position with a smile.
Qi Su's eyebrows were flying, and looking at Xingtou, he held Ye Congwei with one hand and said, "I thought you weren't happy to come." ”
"What's not to like," Ye Congwei glanced at everyone present, most of them were fresh faces, and she smiled lightly: "Disturb the prince's drinking." ”
Because of her arrival, a few people below reined in, and then they all stood up and saluted her: "I've seen Princess Yu." ”
Qi Su waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down, explaining, "They have not been in Beijing for a long time, and they may be more diligent in the future." ”
Ye Congwei nodded, and said hesitantly: "Isn't it a reception banquet?" ”
"Sort of," Qi Su smiled, "It's okay for anything, just drink." ”
Ye Congwei sat beside him and muttered in her heart, except for Tao Chi, she had never seen anyone present.
In addition to the two or three slightly elegant people, the other two are heroic, and they don't look like ordinary people.
Those who are in the army have a fierce killing atmosphere, even if they cover it up, it is mixed with a sense of neatness that is different from ordinary people.
Has Qi Su been blatant enough to do so? This is the capital, it is the palace of the king of Yu, who knows that there is no emperor's eyes?
Or is it that he has confidence, so he dares to let people in.
However, calculating the time, it is indeed a critical juncture, and he can't have no available people around him, he must be transferred.
"Why is the princess so worried?" Qi Su asked in a low voice, "Did they scare you?" ”
Ye Congwei came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and looked at the banquet: "It's rare to see such a good appetite, and the concubine is amazed." ”
The reckless man with five big and three thick coarse eats meat with amazing speed.
Ye Congwei spoke in a small voice, he didn't hear it, his mouth was full of oil, full of sweetness.
"His name is quicksand, he has no name and no surname, and he was picked up by this king on quicksand street," Qi Su said: "I was very hungry when I was young, so I couldn't change my appearance." ”
Ye Congwei didn't care about this, smiled and didn't speak.
She was a little scared as to why Qi Su wanted to show her this.
