After a while, the screams of pearls sounded in the side courtyard of the palace, and when Gonggong Hong heard it, he barely let out a sulk, and then lowered his head to write a letter, remembering that Prime Minister Ye was about to come to the door to ask for someone in a while, and his temples couldn't help but jump, and the pain was terrible.

He recruited anyone to provoke anyone, he was never lazy or slippery, why did he keep causing trouble. When things are done, you must find a free time to go to the temple to worship and go to bad luck.

didn't mention how Gonggong Hong complained, but said that Zuo Tianyu went all the way back to the palace, hesitated for a moment, and went to Qiankun Palace.

The emperor had just finished reading the recital, and was drinking tea and eating snacks while gossiping with Hong Tao, the most trusted eunuch in charge.

Hong Tao just got a reward from a new nobleman in the harem yesterday, wondering if he took advantage of the emperor's good mood to lead him to the imperial garden, the noble man must be waiting on the road to meet the emperor by chance, but unfortunately, before he could speak, the prince had already asked to see him outside the door.

The emperor treats his eldest son well, and every three days in the morning, he must let the prince sit in a row to learn how to deal with the government. At this time, I heard that my son was coming, so I naturally wanted to call in and gossip.

The crown prince is also smart, and since he was a child, he was personally taught by his father with the six emperor uncles, and he was even closer to the emperor than the other brothers.

The father and son sat together and gossiped a few words, and Zuo Tianyu told Ye Lan about her escape, and said with a half-truth at the end: "Father, it is rare for a son to meet a woman who can speak in one place, but it turned out that she was preemptively accepted as a concubine by the sixth emperor uncle." However, her escape, presumably not how she liked the Sixth Emperor Uncle. Hehe, if Uncle Six Emperors hears about it, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will kill someone. ”

The sixth brother went out to patrol the border pass, and the emperor didn't pay attention to the trivial matters in the palace anymore, but he was also surprised when he heard his son laugh and talk at this time. So he asked, "There are many guards in the palace, how did she get out as a woman?" What's wrong? ”

Zuo Tianyu shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, Manager Hong is also anxious, I'm afraid he is dealing with Prime Minister Ye at this time." ”

The emperor also felt a little headache when he remembered the appearance of Ye Chengxiang's favored daughter, and couldn't help complaining: "This Honghai, rewarding him to your Sixth Emperor Uncle is just to take good care of the mansion, why did you make such a mess." ”

Hong Tao, who was waiting on the side, was worried when he heard the prince talk about the affairs of the palace, but when he heard the emperor's words, he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, Hong Hai is stupid, and he is ashamed of the emperor's appreciation." ”

Only then did the emperor remember that Hong Hai was Hong Tao's own brother, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, you two brothers are loyal." The big girl of the Ye family, I heard that she is also restless, and it is not surprising that there is something today. ”

Hong Tao didn't take this stubble, he just kowtowed and thanked him.

Zuo Tianyu had the heart to excuse Ye Lan a few words, but thinking that she had responded to herself last night, and the next time they would talk about the world while eating sweet potatoes together, there was no shadow this morning, which really made him a little angry as the pride of the sky, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

It is understandable that the two of them are like this, but as a father, Prime Minister Ye Cheng can't stay out of the matter.

As soon as he got the news of the palace, he didn't come to the door to find someone at all, but went directly to the palace to ask for guilt.

The emperor was a little annoyed, after all, his younger brother went out to patrol the border and contribute to the country, but his concubine ran away.

But after all, Prime Minister Ye Cheng is an old minister who has been standing in the court for decades, and he has no credit and hard work, and now because of an unfilial girl kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, it is really unbearable.

The emperor endured and endured, and finally said: "Get up, Ye Aiqing, I don't blame you for this." ”

"The emperor is magnanimous, and the old ministers and daughters have no way, and they really deserve death." Prime Minister Ye swept the emperor from the corner of his eyes, his face was not too bad, and he was really worried about his daughter's safety, so he continued to cry and beg: "Your Majesty, although the old minister and the little girl usually dance with knives and sticks, in fact, it is just a showcase, there are many guards in the palace, and the little girl is difficult to fly even if she has wings, and now her whereabouts are unknown, the old minister is really worried that she is being captured by traitors." If she harmed her life, the old minister would not be a pity, but she is now the prince's concubine, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to the prince's disadvantage, and ask the emperor to be merciful and send someone to find it, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

The so-called old man becomes a fine, Prime Minister Ye Cheng is definitely the best among the goblins, obviously his daughter escaped from the house without permission, but in the end, it became someone who wanted to be unfavorable to the prince, and his daughter was still a victim.

Zuo Tianyu secretly gave a thumbs up in his sleeve while drinking tea, and admired it in his heart.

The emperor is not a fool, he almost got angry after hearing it, but he didn't plan to argue with this old minister more, no matter what happened before, now that Ye Lan is missing in the main mansion, no matter what, the palace has the responsibility and obligation to find people.

What's more, the prime minister's words are not completely unreasonable, if Ye Lan really caused any trouble outside under the banner of the prince's concubine, it was his own brother who was affected in the end, and even the face of the entire royal family would be smeared.

"Hong Tao, Yu Linwei is secretly searching, and there is news to report in real time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hong Tao hurriedly responded, retreated and walked out.

Prime Minister Ye Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and at the end he couldn't help but scold this daughter who had been restless since she was a child, she didn't want to climb into the bed of the sixth prince with shame, and finally asked for the position of a concubine, why did she run away now?

It's a pity that even if he wants to lose his hair, he can't guess that his daughter's body is already the soul of another woman......

Xiushui County, two hundred miles north of the Tibetan Kuncheng City, was originally a small town with only more than 100 households, four years ago the war in Western Xinjiang, the imperial court sent a large army to defend the country, at that time had not been awarded the title of Prince Zhongyong of the sixth prince Zuo Yuanhao withstood the opposition of many generals, the military camp was set up outside the town, backed by mountains and rivers, commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers, step by step forward, recaptured the cities occupied by the enemy, and finally even expanded the territory of 800 miles, forcing the western Xinjiang to surrender tribute, becoming the legend of the Jinghai Empire.

Later, although the army withdrew, but there was a barracks of 10,000 people left here, and the wives and children of the generals in the barracks kept moving over, even those soldiers would come out to buy some daily necessities on the day of rest, and even eat and drink, so the town slowly prospered, and finally reported to the state capital, repaired the city wall, planned the square city, and became the county seat.

In the most famous inn in the county, which is naturally the most expensive, a group of guests lived in it on this day, and it looked like a rich boy with his wife out to play.

Because the largest inn was completely wrapped, and the deposit was a large silver coin full fifty taels, the old face of the innkeeper almost smiled like a chrysanthemum, and the two young men were busy with their work, and the service was very thoughtful. Sure enough, the handsome noble son opened his mouth and rewarded each of them with a piece of broken silver, which provoked everyone in the inn to look forward to serving in the inn.

At this moment, Ye Lian was leaning on the low couch in front of the window, a rich and kind middle-aged woman was fanning her, and another young lady was serving her to rinse her mouth with tea.

And the two wedding maids who originally followed together were squeezed aside, looking at each other and not knowing what to do.

Ye Lian looked weak, but in fact, she was a little proud in her heart, when she was originally at home, she had a father who cherished her reputation, and a sister who was eye-catching and favored, and her second daughter had never been treated so favorably.

However, now that she is the princess of Zhongyong, she is naturally very different from before.

Zuo Yuanhao went out this time, although it was a private visit, but he still did not hide it from the henchman general stationed here, and just placed in the inn in the morning, General He, the supreme commander of the barracks stationed here, took Zuo Yuanhao to inspect the army, and his wife and daughter-in-law rushed to serve the princess.

Ye Lian pretended to be weak at first, originally just to gain more pity from the prince, but the carriage was bumpy, she vomited and vomited, and within two days, she didn't have to puff powder, and her face was as white as a ghost.

Therefore, this is not deliberately belittling the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Okay, Mrs. He, young lady, I'm sorry for you two." When she said this, Ye Lian motioned to the two maids to change the hot tea again, and then gossiped with a smile.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the He family did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, and said sincerely: "Niangniang doesn't know, my lord often says that if there was no rescue from the prince back then, he would have died on the battlefield long ago, and the He family today is all thanks to the prince's reward." This time, I finally hope that the prince and Niangniang will come here, and Niangniang must not be polite, although she has something to tell the concubine. ”

The daughter-in-law of the He family is also a well-spoken person, and echoed with a smile: "The prince cherishes his mother very much, presumably everything is arranged, we are just making fun of it, and my mother doesn't dislike me and my mother's clumsiness." ”

Everyone loves to hear good words, Ye Lian was coaxed into a smile, and the tiredness along the way seemed to be much less. The three of them talked for a while, and seeing that the sun was in the west, the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said goodbye and left, although they did not dare to reveal the identity of Zuo Yuanhao and his wife, but they still found the innkeeper and gave careful instructions.

In the county seat, the merchants who can open such a big deal have some power, and naturally they also know real power figures like the He family. The shopkeeper secretly guessed the identity of this rich young couple, and served them even more carefully.

Ye Lian asked for hot water, took a good petal bath, and chose the gouache shirt skirt that best suited her complexion, curled the fallen horse bun obliquely, and simply inserted a jasper hairpin, which made the whole person more and more charming and lovely.

The two maids are carefully selected by the Chen family to marry their daughters, and they have been serving since childhood, and they know their young lady's temper best, so they sang and began to joke, "Miss is so beautiful in makeup, the prince will definitely love it when he sees it." ”

"That's right, the prince has pity for the young lady, this way I am afraid that the young lady will not be comfortable, and I have not had a round room with the young lady, the slave maid heard that today is a rare good day, the young lady will definitely get pregnant in one fell swoop tonight, and if she has to give birth to a little son, the prince will be even more pampered Miss."

Ye Lian's face blushed when she heard this, and she reached out and pinched the two of them in disgust, and scolded with a smile: "You two dead girls, you are becoming more and more unruly, and you dare to say anything." ”

The two maids dodged with a grin, and the room became more and more lively.

In fact, Ye Lian was also in a hurry, the cave room was robbed by Ye Lan that day, she was afraid that there would be another change, and she wanted to dedicate herself on the first night out of Beijing, but her body was not angry, and it has been delayed until today.

Fortunately, she has won enough pity in front of the prince, and she will not give up the opportunity today.

When Zuo Yuanhao came back from the barracks, he saw Ye Lian dressed up like a book, and gently stepped forward to help him change his clothes and serve tea.

Zuo Yuanhao reclined on the gold silk soft pillow, the placket on his chest was spread out, faintly revealing his strong chest, occasionally taking a shallow sip of wine, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more and more confusing, provoking the two maids to bow their heads so that they could endure not to peek.

Ye Lian glared at the two maids fiercely, motioned for the two to retreat, and then raised her hand and took a shrimp and sent it to Zuo Yuanhao's lips.

Zuo Yuanhao smiled evilly, opened his mouth to eat, and then took Ye Lian into his arms.

It's just that for some reason, he suddenly thought of the rude and shameless Ye Lan for no reason. is also a sister, why can't she learn to be so gentle, women are more lovable if they are softer, isn't it?

Ye Lian's ears flushed shyly, and she tried her best to recall the embarrassing things that Mama Xi had taught, and was about to raise her hands to climb the man's neck, but she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and then it was cold.

Her body immediately stiffened, and she bit her lip with hatred, almost scolding.

Zuo Yuanhao didn't know what was going on, and whispered: "Lian'er, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Lian hurriedly got up, half aggrieved and half shyly responded: "Lord, concubine body...... The concubine is coming to dehydrate. ”

Zuo Yuanhao was stunned for a moment before he understood, although he was a little disappointed, but he remembered the business that he had not yet discussed with General He during the day, so he smiled and said: "Then you have a good rest these days, I just have some official affairs that have not been disposed of, so I will move to the barracks for the time being." If anything happens to you, send someone to me. ”

As he spoke, he got up and straightened his clothes, and went out.

The two maids were waiting outside the door, waiting for the master to call for hot water to take a bath, but they didn't want to see the prince going out alone, so the two looked at each other suspiciously and hurried into the house to serve.

Ye Lian angrily picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it to the ground, and the two maids hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? But the prince is angry......"

Halfway through the question, the two of them saw the blood stains on the skirt behind Ye Lian, and immediately understood, and then persuaded: "Miss, don't be angry at this time, you are now married into the palace, and you and the prince will be a husband and wife for a lifetime. ”

"Yes, miss, it's just that you have taken good care of your body these days, and your complexion is better, and the prince will definitely love it more."

Ye Lian also knew that this matter was uncontrollable, so she could only consider herself unlucky, and endured her anger and changed her clothes, and inevitably began to worry about whether those generals would take this opportunity to find a beauty to serve the prince.

Rather than letting outsiders take advantage of the loophole, it is better to cheapen her dowry maid, but as a princess, she has to send away the woman who has to sleep with her man without a round house, she can't do it anyway!

was so entangled and hesitant, she hated Ye Lan even more, if she hadn't robbed her wedding night, why would she miss it step by step. After returning to the palace, she must be ruthlessly rectified so that she can't survive, can't die, and vent her evil anger!

Zuo Yuanhao went and returned, which also made General He and other subordinates puzzled, but the brave and martial people, with simple thoughts, thought that the prince valued their robes, so he deliberately gave up the beauties and came to get together.

The big tent in the army was soon put on the banquet, a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, and when he was drunk, he talked about several bloody battles that year, and there were emotions and laughter, and he was so lively that he almost lifted the tent.

Everyone didn't disperse until the third watch, Zuo Yuanhao didn't feel sleepy and wanted to walk around, but at this time, the captain who guarded the camp gate brought a dusty guard to ask to see.

The guard knelt on one knee, and before he could speak, he took out the letter from his shirt and presented it with both hands, and Liu Hu, the leader of the guards who was on the side, hurriedly took it and handed it to Zuo Yuanhao.

Zuo Yuanhao frowned slightly, took the letter and read it by the light of the torch planted at the door of the tent, but the more he looked at it, the more his face turned blue, he waved his hand and lit the letter and threw it aside, and coldly ordered: "This king knows, go back and tell Chief Hong that you have to see people in life and corpses in death!" ”

With that, he turned around and went back to the tent, leaving Liu Hu to roll his eyes and go down with the messenger guard.

The guards drove fast horses for a day, they were extremely tired, and they had to eat and drink to their heart's content, and when they heard Liu Hu's inquiry, they secretly told Aunt Ye about her escape.

Only then did Liu Hu understand the reason why the master was so angry, the ugly things made by the eldest lady of the Ye family could be hidden from outsiders, but they couldn't hide it from the guards, although they didn't want to explore the secret things between the masters, but they always had to care about the master's joy and anger.

However, according to the previous master's dislike for the eldest lady, not to mention that she ran away from the house, she would not blink her eyes more than if she disappeared, why was she so angry, did everyone guess wrong, the master still has some affection for the eldest lady?

Not only Liu Hu guessed, but even Zuo Yuanhao himself was wondering, obviously, that woman made him so disgusted that he wanted to throw him off the sky, why did he hear that she had escaped, he was so angry in his heart, and even faintly with a trace of loss?

Is it because it has become a habit to be entangled by her, and he is a little unaccustomed to her giving up and leaving like this?

Thinking about it to no avail, he finally slapped it on the table, Danfeng's eyes were upside down, "No matter what tricks you play, I will arrest you back, don't think that the Zhongyong Mansion is an inn for you to come and go at will!" ”

The night breeze in early spring was bleak, whirling past the tent, and Xu heard this cruel word, so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

And in a ruined temple only fifty miles away from the military camp, Ye Lan was lying on a door panel and sleeping soundly with her clothes, I don't know if she heard the message brought by the night wind, she hugged her arms more and more, and her brows furrowed slightly.

The man in black sitting by the fire glanced at her when he heard the movement, and casually added a few dead branches to the fire.

The morning of the barracks was noisy, with tens of thousands of soldiers shouting slogans and fighting and practicing on the school grounds.

Only Zuo Yuanhao wore a dark colored robe, with a golden crown and tied hair, lined with the corners of his slightly upturned lips, becoming more and more evil and handsome.

There is the newly transferred general who saw that the legendary Prince Zhongyong who was famous for slaughtering murderers was like this, and his expression could not help but bring three points of contempt and disobedience, after all, the most important brave warrior in the army, on the battlefield, the enemy will definitely not cut a knife because of who is valuable, a weak general, who can rest assured that his life will be in his hands?

General He looked at the looks of his subordinates, not so worried, but faintly expectant. People who have not fought side by side with the prince will never believe how brave and invincible he is, and if someone dares to touch the tiger's whiskers today, it is not a good thing to open the eyes of these guys who don't know the height of the sky.

Sure enough, the proud generals did not disappoint General He, a burly lieutenant who was usually famous for his straightforwardness was the first to jump out and shouted: "The last general often hears people say that the prince is skilled, but today I am really disappointed, I don't know if the prince dares to compete with the last general?" ”

There is never a shortage of people in the world to watch the excitement, not to mention the boring days in the barracks, and the soldiers shouted and shouted in unison when they heard the words.
