At lunchtime, Ye Congwei went to find Qi Su, and the two of them ate together.

Qi Su held a letter in his hand and handed it to Ye Congwei.

The wax stamp on the envelope was still there, with Liu Mingke's name written on it, apparently handed to her from outside.

Ye Congwei's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Cousin's letter." ”

Qi Su smiled softly: "If you want to send something back, just ask An Yan to arrange it for you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Congwei was overjoyed to hear that he could still communicate with the outside world as usual, and he couldn't wait to see this letter.

"Eat first." Qi Su reminded him.

Ye Congwei nodded, handed the envelope to Si Lan and kept it for the time being.

Years ago, Liu Mingke was divorced, and she wrote her a reply in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Later, it coincided with all kinds of changes, probably because he guessed that Ye Congwei was too busy, or because he was worried about the palace, Liu Mingke didn't dare to send a letter without authorization.

After inquiring about the Chengtai Marquis' Mansion, he sent this letter with a pen.

I don't know how Liu Mingke's marriage is, do you obey her arrangement and postpone it for a while?

Thinking of this, Ye Congwei couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Qi Su, just in time to meet his gaze.

"Something?" He asked.

Ye Congwei nodded, "Your Majesty, can you remember that my cousin was dismissed from the marriage." ”

Qi Su thought for a moment: "I heard you mention it. ”

That sentence was deliberately mentioned by Ye Congwei, in order to ask him logically in the future.

She raised her hand to pick up vegetables for Qi Su, and said with a smile: "My cousin met someone unladylike, but fortunately it didn't happen, I want to find someone in the capital for her, does Your Majesty find it convenient?" ”

"Why did Yingyu change her mind?" Qi Su said: "I asked you before. ”

"Today is different from the past," Ye Congwei pursed her lips: "At that time, I was worried about detaining her, and I was afraid that the merchant girl would look down on her husband......"

"Aren't you afraid now?" Qi Su smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Ye Congwei scratched his face: "Now...... I can support my cousin. ”

In fact, this is all an excuse, what she is afraid of is to find a good in-law for Liu Mingke, and then she met the sweetheart of Qinglifeng, and then she will have a feeling of 'married Feiqing', isn't it a tragedy.

The truth can't be told to Qi Su, but part of it can be revealed.

Ye Congwei picked up the soup bowl and said thoughtfully: "The concubine heard that His Majesty is stationed in Qingli Peak, but is it true?" ”

Many people in the capital muttered about this, and it was nothing for her to ask.

Qi Su didn't need to hide it, nodded and admitted: "It's true, don't you want to find a sergeant for your cousin?" They don't have a meritorious service. ”

No matter where he came from, his own people and horses were not good at the moment.

"I'm not trying to find a high door for my cousin, so what's the matter if I don't have merit."

Ye Congwei said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, two years ago, she entered Beijing with her father, and was once taken captive to Qingli Peak, so she never forgets others. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

It was Qi Su, and she was not without surprise at the moment: "She is a little bold, much more powerful than Yingyu." ”

What's that kind of awesome...... Ye Congwei was not convinced, and confessed: "I told you with a big mouth, don't leak it out." ”

In any case, it is not good for a woman's honor.

She told Qi Su that firstly, it was to discuss, and secondly, to be a matchmaker.

Otherwise, arrange the object for Liu Mingke, no matter how you turn the corner, you can't point to the head of the green carp peak, instead of racking your brains to make Qi Su see that she is tired, it is better to admit it frankly.

Anyway, this kind of boudoir reverie, presumably he doesn't have time to talk too much.

Qi Su understood: "You know that Qingli Peak is my person, so you have a mind?" ”

"That's right," Ye Congwei added, "But I have to ask that person first what his character is, whether he is married or not." ”

"Who's that man?"

"I don't know."

Qi Sule said: "Yingyu is really interested in this cousin. ”

Ye Congwei shook his head and smiled: "It should be said that she is lucky, if it weren't for being retired, it just so happened that Qingli Peak was not a real mountain bandit, otherwise she would only have paid the wrong share." ”

"It's not difficult to do this, you can just call your cousin to Beijing."

Qi Su is willing to make decisions for her, and Ye Congwei is naturally happy.

Lovers eventually become married—wait, what if someone already has a place in their hearts? Then Liu Mingke can only ask for more blessings.

*******

The meal was almost eaten, and Qi Su led Ye Congwei to drink tea.

Yintai picks up the star pavilion, climbs high and looks far away, and has a panoramic view of the garden in early spring below.

Qi Su looked down and said, "What a good imperial garden, it lacks a little popularity." ”

Ye Congwei realized, "Yes, it's a little empty......"

If there are fewer masters, there will be fewer people to serve, so the imperial garden is empty, and there is no beautiful scenery.

"I have to give my mother a title before you can ascend to the back seat," Qi Su held Ye Congwei's hand, "The first thing the queen has to do is the draft." ”

Ye Congwei's palms tightened slightly, and she smiled: "I know." ”

She had been mentally prepared for a long time.

"But I'm not going to compromise completely."

He changed his name, his momentum changed suddenly, and he waved his sleeves and said: "The draft can only be selected for business girls, and the daughters of officials of the previous dynasty cannot be selected." ”

Ye Congwei was puzzled and surprised: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

"Anyone who pays 1,000 taels of silver can run for election." He smiled and said, "I sold myself to fill the treasury." ”

Ye Congwei's mouth couldn't close: "This ...... I can't help it! ”

If it spreads, what will outsiders say about such an emperor?

"There's nothing you can't do," Qi Suhun didn't care, "It's not a forced buying and selling, it's all up to your own will." ”

Ye Congwei stroked his forehead with one hand and couldn't laugh: "How can there be such a thing?" ”

"Why not," he raised his eyebrows, "Break the atmosphere that is unclear about the front and harem." ”

"I'm afraid this move will anger the ministers......" Ye Congwei wanted to speak and stopped.

"It's just temporary," Qi Su pouted with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "They don't want to do things for me, some people are willing, do you know how many people will be on the list in the annual scientific examination." ”

"How many of these meritorious people can be assigned to official positions?"

Ye Congwei was asked, and his heart was shocked: "Your Majesty...... Looking for a substitution? ”

The new emperor replaces the old ministers, and the slightest carelessness will cause great turmoil, and we must think twice before acting.

Qi Su raised his hand and touched the top of her hair: "The only way to use people is to rely on their eyesight, and if the article is done well, it does not mean that they are capable ministers of the world." ”

"The concubine believes in Your Majesty, and she will definitely not look away." Ye Congwei knew that this matter was not easy.

But who is Qi Su? He can endure humiliation, an idle king has a great plan to target the throne, and now that he has successfully come, what else would he not dare.

Instead of slowly trying to figure it out, it is better to take drastic measures and take advantage of the fire of the new appointment.

*******

Back at the Millennium Palace, Ye Congwei opened Liu Mingke's letter.

There were many congratulatory words in his heart, one moment saying that she was married to a true son, and another time saying that she was a prosperous man, so that Prince Yu soared.

The Liu family was quite anxious about Liu Mingke's family affairs, lest they would be affected by their repentance and marriage, and they sighed at their ill-fated fate.

After Ye Congwei finished reading it, he had a bottom in his heart, and hurriedly took a leave of absence.

This time, she didn't simply send a letter, but sent a few people to Yangzhou to convey her meaning to the Liu family, and after obtaining consent, she could bring people to the capital.

Now that Ye Congwei's identity is different, he has more confidence to take Zhang Luo for Liu Mingke, presumably the Liu family will not refuse.

After the arrangements were made, Si Zhu came in to report: "Niangniang, the princess is here, and I want to say hello to you." ”

"The princess? Ask her in. "Ye Congwei hasn't seen her for a long time.

After the princess was pregnant, she was raised in the county king's mansion, and she rarely went out until she gave birth to a child, and Ye Congwei was troubled by Qi Xuan, and she didn't go out of the door, and she didn't socialize more than other mothers.

When the two met at this time, they felt like they had been separated for a long time.

"See the mother." The princess bowed down.

Ye Congwei called for a seat and invited her to drink tea.

"I haven't congratulated my cousin yet, I look very good."

"Niangniang still calls me like this, I really can't afford it," the princess smiled: "I also want to congratulate Niangniang, it's been more than three months, right?" ”

Ye Congwei said: "It's just that the identities are different, and the generations are still there, the county king's mansion and the Hou mansion have always been cousins." ”

"It's embarrassing for us......" The princess said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of the mother's jokes, the prince hesitated for many days before he dared to bring me into the palace." ”

"Why is that?" Ye Congwei smiled: "My cousin used to come to the palace often, why is he going to be divided now?" ”

"It's not my father-in-law yet...... " Princess Shizi said and covered her mouth again.

Ye Congwei understood that he used to live in the capital like a prodigal son.

Not to mention the county king's mansion, even those generals' mansions and the like, they don't want juniors to follow Prince Yu around and swagger through the market.

This Qi Yu has been educated by his father several times, and he was ordered not to be with him, and he once took refuge in the Chengtai Marquis Mansion because of this!

Now that Qi Su has become an emperor, most of the kings of Xunjun are ashamed, for fear of offending His Majesty.

Therefore, not only did Qi Yu enter the palace, but also brought the princess with him, perhaps to say a few good words on Ye Congwei's side.

Ye Congwei understood a little, and stepped forward to hold the hand of the concubine: "Cousin-in-law, don't worry too much, Your Majesty is such a caring person." ”

Young Master Cui, who was faintly fighting with him before, Qi Su didn't smile at all, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Even if there were anyone who despised this idle king in the first place, so what?

Today, the Prince Yu of the past is no longer important.

Ye Congwei remembered the good of the princess, and she also helped her out of the siege.

Moreover, the Junwang Mansion and the Chengtai Marquis Mansion have always had dealings, and she has not been familiar with her since she was a child, but she can't talk about any grudges.

"With the words of Niangniang, I am relieved." The princess breathed a sigh of relief: "The main reason is my father-in-law, who is guilty of having no eyes." ”

When Ye Congwei heard this, he smiled but did not speak.

Qi Su pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, how many people in the court can see his true face?

With his behavior at the time, it is strange that he often throws silver at the women of Qing and Lou, or fights beasts in a high-profile manner, and is not regarded as a negative teaching material by the elders.

There are so many people who sigh and look away, not to mention the Cuifu County Palace, isn't it the same for the Chengtai Hou Mansion?

Sometimes Ye Congwei still thinks, what is Ye Congzhi's heart, did she really let go?

Ye Congwei occasionally skipped the matter of the Hou Mansion in her heart, and within two days, she had the opportunity to leave the palace.

The spring was warm and cold, and the old lady fell ill again.

She is very old, and this repetition is worrying.

After Ye Congwei learned about it, he immediately assigned the imperial doctor to accompany him, and sent someone to inform Qi Su that he would go out of the palace first.
