Chapter 117

Since King Yu started walking in the six parts again, he has become very busy, and the last time he was different from the hanging erlang dang, this time he entered the six parts, he was a lot stricter, no matter how big or small, everything that is wrong must be meddled in, those things that are cheating and slippery, greedy and deductible things he can see at a glance, light is a whip, heavy is dismissal and investigation. Officials big and small are miserable, but although he is harsh, he is justified and well-founded, and those who are punished are all guilty and deserved, and no one can find fault with them.

Emperor Wen was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that this old man had always been stubborn, but he was so good when he got serious. After being happy, he was a little worried that half of his four sons had been lost, and if the fourth child had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, or the prince was afraid of the fourth child, and the two of them lost one more, then there would only be one left.

Although Emperor Wen secretly hated the prince's vicious methods and let him be idle in the East Palace, he did not have the intention of abolishing him, you must know that the abolition of the prince will shake the foundation of the country, Besides, he is always a little worried about the fourth, in case the fourth is not his own, then the country of Daqi will change its owner.

I have to find a way to make the only two remaining sons, brothers, friends and brothers, and the fourth child must realize that although he is temporarily in charge of the six departments, the prince is the prince, and he can't raise his heart; The prince must know that he made a big mistake to be punished, and there is no risk of being replaced by the fourth.

It was the prince's birthday banquet in a few days, and Emperor Wen asked King Yu to rest for a day and took his daughter-in-law to the East Palace to congratulate the prince on his birthday.

"Brother Yan, what does the emperor mean by this?" Ye Qian held the gilded small hand stove and asked puzzledly, this winter, it is freezing and snowing everywhere to death, if it weren't for the emperor's order, she wouldn't have gone out, let alone going to the East Palace to congratulate the prince on his birthday.

King Yu took away her little hand stove and wrapped her white and tender little hands with his own hands, which were much smaller than his, and he could cover them completely. "Qianqian doesn't care what he means, just go through the motions." In that place in the East Palace, he didn't want the little girl to go over, but the emperor clearly said that he would let Ye Qian go over, and he could only do it, no matter what the emperor thought, it was impossible for him to let the prince ascend to the throne.

His hands were dry and warm, much more comfortable than a small hand stove, Ye Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's sit down for a while and come back." ”

The prince's birthday banquet was not a big deal, after all, he was punished by the emperor, although he did not explicitly say that he was under house arrest, but he also said that he should honestly "recuperate" in the East Palace, so no official dared to come over at this time, all the people who came were the royal relatives, and Ye Qian had seen them at King Kang's funeral.

The luncheon was very sumptuous, all kinds of dishes came up like water, Ye Qian just used chopsticks to flick it in the dishes at will, making a look, and didn't really eat it, and the wine was useless. She only eats in her own house and Yuwang's Mansion now, and she doesn't need anything when she goes to someone else's house.

After the luncheon, the crown princess beckoned everyone to go to the play. The weather is cold and freezing, so it is naturally impossible to set up a stage in the garden, but how can this kind of thing be difficult to get the people of the East Palace, and they chose a very spacious and high hall to solve this problem.

There was a charcoal basin burning in the main hall, burning fine smokeless charcoal, Ye Qian sat for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, and he was about to leave.

The crown princess took Ye Qian's hand, "What's the hurry, it's easy to come once, and then talk to me for a while, we can be regarded as concubines, and the fourth brother and sister don't see each other." It's noisy here, let's go talk to me. "The stage was babbling and singing, and I couldn't speak slowly and softly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hear clearly. It's not that she likes Ye Qian very much, it's just that the emperor's intention is there, she always has to be intimate and harmonious in front of others.

Ye Qian followed the princess out of the hall, the princess held Ye Qian's hand all the way, soft and smooth, she sighed in her heart, her hands were as delicate, but there were already fine lines on her face, after all, she was thirty years old, and Ye Qian, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, could not be compared.

Ye Qian looked at the crown princess quietly with the corner of her eyes, maybe it was the reason for the miscarriage a few months ago, she didn't seem to have recovered, her face looked very bad, and if you looked closely, you could see that her face was rubbed with thick fat powder, but unfortunately it still didn't completely cover the sallow on her face.

The two entered the warm side hall, and the crown princess let go of Ye Qian's hand, and there were no outsiders at this time, so there was no need to act like it anymore.

The two sat and chatted for a while, nothing more than clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and as they were talking, Princess Pingjun came over.

Princess Pingjun was just about to salute, but was stopped by the crown princess, "Oh, don't be polite, you tell me, you haven't come to see me for a long time." ”

Princess Pingjun's thin white melon seeds smiled apologetically, "At the end of the year, I am too busy, and I have to prepare for the New Year in the house, and I have to prepare for the New Year's gifts of relatives and friends, and there are two naughty stinky boys at home, I have long wanted to come to see you, but I just don't have time." ”

The crown princess patted her hand lightly and said angrily: "Excuse." ”

Princess Pingjun laughed, "Okay, I was wrong, in fact, I prepared something for you." ”

"What's good?" The prince asked curiously. Ye Qian was also a little curious, looking at the intimacy of these two people, they should usually be very familiar with each other, but it is not the same thing as the crown princess who pretended to be holding her hand just now.

Princess Pingjun took a beautiful food box from the maid beside her and handed it to the crown princess.

"Dim sum?" The crown princess opened the food box, and there were nine pieces of dim sum neatly placed inside, which looked small and delicate, and there was a faint smell of medicine when you smelled it. "What is this made of, and why does it taste weird?"

Ye Qian also smelled it, and the fragrance of the dim sum itself had an obvious medicinal smell.

"Still doesn't smell good?" Princess Pingjun said with annoyance: "I got a medicinal food recipe, which is made into a snack, saying that it can nourish the body, especially after accidentally giving birth to the body has been not smooth, I tried for a long time, and I always can't get rid of this medicinal smell, today this is still I think the taste is better to accept and bring it to you, thinking that if you can stand the taste, I will send you the recipe, I heard that it is an excellent recipe." Alas, I didn't expect it to work, I'll go back and try again. ”

As she spoke, she was about to put away the food box, but the princess hurriedly held it down, "Although it smells of medicine, it is also that kind of fresh, and it doesn't smell bad, you have prepared it for a long time, I'll try it." She pinched a piece of snack, took a small bite carefully, and said in surprise: "Hey, it's delicious, fresh with a hint of sweetness, not obvious, it suits my taste very well, or you know me." ”

"Is it really delicious?" Princess Pingjun asked suspiciously: "You don't have to be reluctant, it's a big deal that I'll try a few more times." ”

"Not reluctantly, not reluctantly." The crown princess shook her head and ate all the dim sum, which was already small, basically looking like she could eat one in one bite, "Leave it all for me." "This is the intention of Princess Pingjun, I have been preparing for a long time, and the taste is what I like, besides, her body has not been well recuperated after giving birth, since it is a recipe specially found by Princess Pingjun, and said that it is excellent, so naturally I want to try it.

Princess Pingjun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if you like it, I'll send you the recipe tomorrow, it's very good, and I'll give it to your cook." ”

"That's better, I can't trouble you to bring me snacks every day." The crown princess nodded happily, and then noticed that Ye Qian was still on the side, "Oh, look at me, I patronized and ate by myself, and I forgot about my fourth brother and sister." She pushed the food box to Ye Qian's side, "The fourth brother and sister also taste it." ”

Ye Qian shook her head and smiled: "Since it was specially prepared for the crown princess by Princess Pingjun, you can keep it for yourself." ”

"Her mind is rare, but the dim sum is so good, I have a recipe tomorrow for the kitchen to make more, you can try this." The crown princess pushed the food box over again.

Princess Pingjun also smiled: "Miss Ye also tastes it, let's see if the crown princess is trying to comfort me and say that it is delicious, or is it really that the taste can make people like it?" ”

Ye Qian couldn't push it, pinched a piece of snack, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and took a bite, her mouth moved a few times, as if she was chewing carefully, and carefully wiped it on her mouth with a handkerchief, and nodded, "The taste is indeed okay, anyway, I can accept it." No one noticed that the snack in her mouth was actually wrapped in a veil, and even if the crown princess ate a piece herself, she didn't dare to eat outside carelessly.

Princess Pingjun saw that the snack in her hand was obviously missing, and her smile deepened, and she turned her head and continued to laugh with the crown princess, Ye Qian put the remaining snack in her hand into her mouth, but wrapped it in the veil again without a trace.

Stuffed the veil, Ye Qian got up and said goodbye, the crown princess and the princess of Heping County were talking happily, Ye Qian had been here for a while, and such a long time was enough to make others feel that they were harmonious and intimate, so they didn't stay.

The palace maid in the East Palace led Ye Qian and Bai Zhen out of the house, and when they saw the gate, the palace maid stopped and saluted and went back.

Ye Qian walked a few steps, but suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, Ye Qian was startled, he could see people not far away, as long as he shouted to others, he could hear it, not to mention that he was still following Bai Zhen by his side, so he calmed down.

The man was skinny, his face was rubbed with thick fat powder, and he was wearing a new pink embroidered gown with entwined flowers, and she seemed to be afraid of scaring Ye Qian, so she stopped a few steps away from her, "Fourth sister." ”

Ye Qian looked at it and found that it was Ye Fu. She was so thin that she would hardly have dared to admit herself if she hadn't opened her mouth to call herself.

Ye Fu glanced around with some caution, "Please ask the fourth sister to bring a message to my mother, just say that everything is fine in the East Palace, although it is inconvenient to see my family, but the crown prince and the princess are very good to me." ”

Is she called this very good? Is it good to lose weight? Ye Qian looked at Ye Fu with some suspicion, not knowing what else she had to say.

Ye Fu said: "Just this sentence, please let the fourth sister help me bring it." With that, she hurried away.

"Zhen, she is-" Ye Qian went to look at Bai Zhen and found that she was also at a loss, forget it, let's ask King Yu later.
