The man was tall and dressed in a silver-gray silk python robe, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, and a black piping belt around his waist.

The long inky black hair is tied into a long ponytail and tied with a gray hairband, the skin is fair, the sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the eyes are like stars, not only handsome and extraordinary, but the facial features are a little more delicate than a woman, and the thin lips are slightly pursed and curled up in a good-looking arc.

"I heard from the people in your palace that you didn't eat dinner today, and I think you might have something to do, so I came to see you." This man's voice was like a boulder like the sea, and he was so low that when he heard this, he spoke even more eloquently.

Ye Yufu raised his hand to cover his hand on his shoulder, and his soft voice was also tactful: "I really can't hide anything from you, I almost thought that you were actually a roundworm in my stomach." ”

The man smiled lightly and groaned in a low voice: "I am what you say I am." ”

Ye Yufu let go of her hand and said helplessly: "Yugui, your birthday is coming, speaking of which, you have also grown up." It's already surpassed me in height, and I'm getting more and more used to it. ”

Ye Yugui picked up the mahogany carp comb that was dropped by the smoke on the table and lowered his head to play with it, and then spoke: "If the imperial sister wants to, then I will return to the thin appearance of a child, and it is good to follow behind you." ”

"Time is like a white horse over the knee, how can you only move forward?"

The corners of Ye Yugui's mouth were slightly hooked at this moment, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes that Ye Yufu couldn't understand before he spoke: "Yes, I actually prefer the way I look now." ”

After saying this, Ye Yugui retracted the gaze that had been staring at Ye Yufu's eyes, and asked with concern: "I heard that Lord Song Shangshu is seriously ill, I don't know how it is now." ”

"The Imperial Doctor has already seen it and said that he is old. Besides, my grandfather has long been riddled with old diseases, and I am afraid that the situation is not good this time. Therefore, my father's request to go out of the palace to visit me was granted. ”

Ye Yugui frowned at the dark sword eyebrows when he heard this: "Out of the palace? Just you are alone or accompanied by the lady. ”

"The mother concubine is entangled in palace affairs and can't go together, so this time I'm alone."

Ye Yugui thought for a while: "Either I will accompany you out of the palace together, and I will take care of you." ”

"No, no. Just stay in the palace. Haven't you been studying with the second emperor brother recently, I heard that you didn't return to the palace until dawn these days. ”

Over the years, Ye Duanli has not come out, and the princes and princesses have gradually grown up. Prince Ye Yushen married Bai Zhenzhen two years ago, and the couple also married Qin Se and Ming after their wedding, envying others.

Ye Duanli's health has become worse and worse in the past two years, so many affairs in the palace have been handed over to the prince. Ye Yugui was introduced by Ye Yufu to the crown prince, and he deeply discussed all matters between the DPRK and China all day long.

In the garden of the princess's mansion, several rough palace maids gathered together in twos and threes, and one of the heads said: "Tell you, I just saw a particularly handsome man." I couldn't take that eye off at the time. ”

Another palace maid with a round face whispered: "That person is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and he is here to find His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess today." ”

"Is it actually the prince, isn't the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince next to the princess's mansion?"

"Yes, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is unusually good. Even the biological siblings can't compare. ”

"Aren't I cleaning in the inner room, I have seen the Seventh Prince holding the eldest princess's hand several times, and his eyes are gentle, as if he can pinch out water."

The round-faced palace maid exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so intimate." ”

"That's right! If I hadn't known that the two were sisters and brothers, I would have thought they were a couple. ”

"Shhhh How dare you say this? ”

The palace maid reacted before covering her mouth: "Yes, too." It's me who talks too much. ”

When they were talking, they didn't pay attention at all, and in the darkness farther away, a pair of eyes were quietly watching at the moment.

Ye Yugui couldn't resist Ye Yufu, and finally decided to stay in the palace.

Ye Yu returned out of the princess's mansion and went to the prince's mansion non-stop.

Ye Yushen was pacing left and right in the study with a headache at the moment, there was civil strife on the northwest border, and the border leader actually launched a small-scale war several times with the help of weapons from neighboring countries.

Although it was discovered in time and did not cause any damage, the rebellious heart was already stupid and restless and difficult to suppress. Ye Duanli's cough attacks became more and more frequent, and these things were all pressed on Ye Yushen.

Although Ye Yushen is the crown prince, his qualifications are inevitably mediocre, and the three princes' faction is getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Ye Yugui appeared in time when he was troubled.

About a year ago, Ye Yushen went to visit Ye Yufu. found that Ye Yugui was also there, and the two didn't know each other, but after Ye Yufu's words. Ye Yushen found that Ye Yugui was really a material that could be made.

There are some ideas that Ye Yushen has never solved in his head, but Ye Yugui can always come up with several plans in a short period of time.

After going back and forth like this, the relationship between Ye Yushen and Ye Yugui will get better. It is precisely because of Ye Yugui's advice that he has become more and more trusted by the emperor, and the three princes have no chance to take advantage of it.

And Ye Yugui always looks smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals, making people unconsciously let down their guard.

When he had a headache, Ye Yugui pushed the door and entered, and when he saw Ye Yushen who was rubbing his head, he walked over with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, but I have a headache again." ”

Ye Yushen raised his head when he heard the sound: "That's right, there has been another rebellion on the northern border, and I have had a headache for several days." But I couldn't find a solution, and I was about to call you to discuss the matter. ”

Ye Yugui picked up the thick scroll on the desk, and comforted while looking at it: "The small border is not to be feared, their purpose is obvious. ”

"I don't know if the seventh brother has and opinions." Ye Yushen asked.

Ye Yugui raised his hand and patted the scroll, then turned his back on his hand: "What does the prince think is the reason why they launched a rebellion." ”

Ye Yu pondered for a while: "I also sent someone to negotiate, but the other party didn't say anything and tied up my subordinates, obviously the northern barbarians were violent and shoddy." ”

Ye Yugui shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks carefully about when they started their rebellion. ”

"About two months ago. At that time, the border chief sent an envoy to our court to ask for a meeting with the Holy One, but it seemed that the two sides did not negotiate properly, so there was the first rebellion. Ye Yushen recalled the incident of two months ago, and patted his head for a while as if his thoughts were clear.

"They, could it be that they are like this for the sake of food and grass?"

Ye Yugui nodded his head: "That's right, it was early winter two months ago. They must have had no food and grass for the winter before they came to ask the emperor, but it must have been the lion's big mouth that was refused, so they launched a rebellion. And the people of neighboring countries can borrow weapons purely for the sake of the mineral materials on the border later. ”

Ye Yushen wondered: "Although the border has not been particularly sufficient in food resources for several years, it is not a problem to survive the winter. How could it end up being to the point of asking the court for help this year. ”

"Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgotten the flood disaster that occurred in the border area this year?"

"The flood disaster, the imperial court should have allocated a huge amount of money to solve it at that time. Nothing will be said to make the border people unable to survive the winter. ”

Ye Yugui sneered in his heart, this prince is really very naïve.

But the words were mild: "The younger brother didn't want to talk about it, but now he has to say it." If the appropriation between the DPRK and China wants to go to the border, it must pass through at least a dozen official gates in several capitals, and if the imperial court approves tens of thousands of taels of gold, there will only be 1,000 taels left in the hands of the people on the border. ”

Ye Yu listened to this and exclaimed: "Could it be that it was embezzled, then we must find those officials and punish them one by one to make them spit out the embezzled silver taels." ”

Ye Yushen never expected that what he thought was the Great Victory Dynasty in his heart was so different from the real one. Less than a tenth of that huge amount of money may actually be spent.

Ye Yugui sighed and continued: "It's not easy to say, the number of people involved in this is too large, if it is really investigated, I am afraid that it will implicate the entire previous dynasty." Now, one is that he doesn't have that ability, and the other is that he doesn't have that time. ”

"So what's going to be!" Ye Yushen's usually calm face was also dyed with heavy anger at this time, and he slapped the table with both hands, and the scrolls piled high on the table were already crumbling, and all of them fell to the ground at this moment.

Ye Yugui was also not in a hurry, bent down and picked up one of the scrolls that fell to the ground: "There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved, and all that is needed to solve the problem is thinking." ”

Ye Yushen tilted his head, his eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Seventh brother, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"The bell must be tied to the bell, and the younger brother believes that the key to solving the problem is still in the relationship with the border."

Seeing Ye Yushen's contemplative appearance, Ye Yugui continued: "In the final analysis, as long as the problem of wintering for the people in the border areas is solved, then these problems will be solved now." ”

"That's right! That's right! Tomorrow, I will talk to my father about this with the emperor, and then send an envoy to the border to negotiate. ”

After Ye Yushen finished speaking, Ye Yugui shook his head and retorted: "This matter is not appropriate, if the emperor knows about this matter, I am afraid that he will be angry and his health will become worse and worse, and just sending his subordinates forward will inevitably make people feel perfunctory." ”

"Then I'll go myself!"

"That's even more inappropriate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. If you leave the palace and are attacked by gangsters, the consequences will be unimaginable. If you agree, your brother is willing to go on your behalf. ”

Ye Yugui knew that as soon as these words came out, then the prince would not have any doubts about himself in the future. You will also be one step closer to your goal. Sure enough, Ye Yushen was worried for a while, and finally agreed to the matter.

In the end, the two discussed, and Ye Yugui took the prince's men to the border a week later.

Two days later, outside the palace gate, Song Wei held Ye Yufu's hands and instructed: "Fu'er, you must pay more attention when you go out of the palace, although your grandfather's house is not far from the palace, it is not as good as the palace after all." ”

Ye Yufu looked at Song Wei's worried expression and said helplessly: "The mother concubine is too worried, you have sent me so many guards, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Seeing that the hour was not early, Song Wei finally hugged Ye Yufu: "Say hello to my mother and grandmother." ”

Ye Yufu nodded and agreed, lifted the curtain, got on the sedan chair and left.

As soon as the carriage drove out of the palace gate, it was suddenly stopped by more than a dozen tall men.
