CHAPTER XXXIII
After disposing of the Qi family, Meng took Ye Qian and Ye Li and left the big flower hall, Ye Qian held her mother with one hand and her brother with the other, this was a novel experience for her, because her mother had been ill for seven years, Since she can remember, she has never had the experience of holding hands with her mother, Ye Qian looked at her mother and then at her brother, her little pink lips curled up happily, and her white and tender cheeks showed a shallow small pear vortex.
Meng Shi naturally felt the excitement of her precious daughter, she was both pleased with her daughter's dependence on her, but also felt guilty for not taking care of her daughter for so many years, and gently rubbed the soft little hand she was holding.
Ye Qian walked and excitedly introduced to her mother that this is a begonia flower, this is a moon flower......
Meng Shi's eyes were full of gentle smiles, "Are all the flowers that Qianqian usually sends to her mother's house picked from this garden?"
Ye Qian nodded happily, there are many flowers in the garden, all kinds, she often picks fresh flowers and sends them to her mother's house, so that even if her mother can't go out, she can see the flowers.
Ye Li went to the martial arts arena, Ye Qian accompanied her mother back to Siyuan Hall, and after a while, someone sent the account books, keys and cards, Meng Shi went to the account room first, recorded the remaining silver, and then went to the warehouse to count the inventory. The inventory should be compared with the inventory of items and the physical objects in the warehouse, and it is necessary to prevent someone from being shoddy, which is extremely time-consuming and boring, Meng Shi looked at the little face of his baby daughter and slowly wrinkled, and said with a smile: "Qianqian doesn't have to accompany her mother, go play by yourself." ”
"I want to go to Yuwang's Mansion." Ye Qian raised her head, "Thanks to His Royal Highness King Yu this time, I want to thank him." ”
"Go ahead." Meng Shi gently rubbed the top of her baby daughter's head, she was able to get better, it was really thanks to King Yu.
Ye Qian took the carriage to the palace of King Yu and came to King Yu's study with ease.
King Yu sat in front of the big bookcase, and when he saw Ye Qian coming, a smile flashed in his dark phoenix eyes, and he beckoned, "Qianqian, come." ”
Ye Qian squeezed to the side of his rosewood chair, "Brother Yan, are you busy?" ”
King Yu picked her up and let her sit on his lap, Ye Qian glanced back at him, and then looked at the map on the big bookcase, there were some place names on the map, but most of them were crooked lines, Ye Qian looked at it for a long time, and he didn't understand.
King Yu's slender fingers like white jade stretched out and clicked on a place on the map, "This is the Kyoto we are staying in now." ”
Ye Qian let out an "oh".
King Yu pointed to another place, "This is my fiefdom, the tent leaf." ”
Ye Qian stretched out her chubby fingers, gestured, and turned her head to look at King Yu in surprise, "So close?" ”
King Yu's thin lips hooked, "This map is shrunk, like the palace of King Yu, Qianqian knows how big it is, on this map is just a point the size of a needlepoint, this canopy leaf looks close on the map, and it actually takes many days to walk." ”
"Wouldn't it be very troublesome if Brother Yan went to the fiefdom?" Ye Qian was quite sympathetic.
King Yu smiled: "It's very troublesome, so, if I go to the fiefdom, Qianqian will accompany me, okay?" ”
Ye Qian was suddenly embarrassed, it stands to reason that King Yu helped her so much, she shouldn't have refused to let her accompany her to the fiefdom, but her mother just got up, she wanted to accompany her mother more, besides, there are many things at home, the second aunt was locked up, and her mother just took over the feed, even if she can't help much, she can feel at ease by guarding her mother.
"What, Qianqian is unwilling?" King Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was thinking about taking advantage of the little girl's young age to take her out for a walk, you must know that once a woman gets married, there will be more things, even if he won't bother her with anything, she can't easily get out of her body and walk for several months. It just so happened that the things on the side of the tent leaf also needed to be arranged, those mines had to be mined, but they could not be mined openly, they could only be carried out on a small scale, although he had sent a powerful cronies over, he always had to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.
"It's not that she is unwilling," Ye Qian carefully pulled King Yu's sleeve embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, "Mother is just in good health, and she has taken over the feed, and I want to accompany her for two days." Brother Yan, let's go back a few days later, okay? Just a few days at night. ”
It turns out that the little girl thinks so. Seeing that she was cautiously discussing with herself, King Yu's mood became happy again, and he pinched her bulging cheeks, "It's not now, I won't go this year, maybe next year or the year after next." ”
"Then next year or the year after, I will definitely be able to accompany Brother Yan." Ye Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Yan, this time my mother can get better, thanks to you." Brother Yan, thank you. ”
Her big apricot eyes looked at King Yu seriously, full of gratitude and trust. King Yu's heart was very ironing, and his arms around her tightened unconsciously, and he asked softly: "Then Qianqian accompanied me into the palace to see my mother, okay?" Last time, my mother saw Qianqian, I liked it very much, and I kept talking about you. ”
"Okay, okay, I also like Concubine Yu." Ye Qian's little head nodded vigorously, indicating that she liked it very much.
They rode in the luxurious carriage of King Yu and went to the palace.
Seeing that King Yu and Ye Qian came hand in hand, Concubine Yu was very happy, and ordered the palace people to take snacks and pour tea for the two of them with their own hands.
I have already met Concubine Yu once, Ye Qian is not restrained at all this time, and while eating snacks, she told Concubine Yu about the family, "Mother can get better this time, thanks to Yan...... What about Your Highness? ”
Concubine Yu looked at her son appreciatively, she was worried that the water in the Hou Mansion was too deep, afraid that the little girl would be wronged, and wanted to pick a safe grandmother from her palace to send it over, but she didn't expect her son to send it to be even more powerful, and she only saw through the secret of Mrs. Hou's poisoning for many years with just one face. That's fine, her son has an arrogant and domineering reputation, and she was a little worried that Mrs. Hou didn't like her son in her heart, so it should be no problem now. And the little girl is close to her son, and she is also happy to see it.
As she was talking, Concubine Shu sent someone to say that the second prince, King Rui, had a bag of tea, which was better than the one in the palace, and sent it to Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu sent some to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu talked to the palace maid sent by Concubine Shu, and King Yu took Ye Qian to the garden behind the main hall.
The Jade Concubine is known as the first beauty of Daqi, and this Ning Jade Palace is also the largest in the entire harem, larger than the palace of the queen and the concubine. It doesn't look like much from the main entrance, but behind the entire main hall is a large area, all of which have been built into gardens with tall flowers and trees.
As soon as Ye Qian entered the garden, her eyes widened in admiration, "Brother Yan, this place is so beautiful." ”
King Yu smiled and nodded, of course it is beautiful, this garden is taken care of by someone. He took Ye Qian's little fat hand and walked casually in the garden, getting deeper and deeper.
Walking under a begonia tree, Ye Qian refused to go, and craned her neck to see the bewitching flowers blooming on the tree.
King Yu picked her up and deliberately lifted her taller than himself. Ye Qian was not afraid at all, seeing that the beautiful begonia flower was within reach, she chuckled, held the head of King Yu with one hand, maintained her balance, and stretched out with the other hand to pick a half-bloomed flower.
She sniffed lightly, looked down at King Yu, but saw that he was looking up at herself, and the sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, falling tiny spots of light on his face, giving his white jade-like face a warm golden layer.
Ye Qian's round fingertips tapped on the bridge of his handsome nose, and he muttered, "Brother Yan, you are so good-looking." After sighing, she pinned the half-open begonia flower to his sideburns.
King Yu didn't know whether he should be angry or laughing, he was a dignified prince, what was the matter with wearing a flower on his head, but the little girl praised him for his good looks, and he was very happy in his heart.
Ye Qian suddenly frowned, looked left and right, wrapped her little arms around King Yu's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Yan, do you feel that someone seems to be watching us?" ”
King Yu's smile narrowed a little, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay, here are all the people of the concubine, even if someone looks at us, it is not malicious, Qianqian can rest assured." He naturally noticed it a long time ago, but he took Ye Qian to wander in the garden, originally wanting to show that person.
Ye Qian trusted him very much, since King Yu said that it was okay, it must be fine. She straightened up again, picked another begonia flower, kicked her calf, and King Yu took advantage of the situation to put her down.
King Yu took the begonia flower pinched by her white and tender fingers and put it on the girl's bun for her, "Qianqian, you are also very good-looking." ”
Being praised for her good looks, Ye Qian was a little shy, pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
King Yu took her little hand and walked around the garden for a long time before returning to the main hall. When he left the garden, King Yu quietly plucked the begonia flowers on his sideburns and showed them to the little girl, he didn't want others to see the flowers on his head.
The two had lunch in Ningyu Palace, rested for a while, and then left.
When he was about to leave the palace, he was greeted by a person, in his twenties, who was born with a dignified appearance and a calm and solemn temperament.
King Yu stopped and arched his hand: "Second brother." Ye Qian knew, it turned out that this was the second prince she had never seen, His Royal Highness King Rui, that is, the son of Concubine Shu.
King Rui's gaze swept over Ye Qian, and a smile appeared on his cold face, "Fourth brother, have you gone to see the Jade Concubine?" This is the girl of the Ye family who has made a marriage with the fourth brother, right? ”
Ye Qian curtsied: "Ye Qian has seen His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
King Rui waved his hand, "No formality. When will the fourth child go to my mansion to sit, our brothers have left the palace and have their own palaces, but they rarely get together. "The crown prince and the third prince King Kang are often together, he and the prince are opposed, while King Yu doesn't care about anyone, except for the family reunion during the New Year's holidays, they rarely sit together.
King Yu took Ye Qian's hand, "Another day, I will send Miss Ye Si back." ”
King Rui laughed and patted King Yu on the shoulder, "I have long heard that the fourth brother and sister value the fourth brother and sister very much, and if this is the case, then let's get together another day." ”
King Yu took Ye Qian and walked a few steps, and then looked back at King Rui's back. The crown prince and the third brother joined forces, and the second child also wanted to join forces with him, but unfortunately, he didn't want to stand in the camp of King Rui at all, and of course, he would not stand with the crown prince King Kang.
