CHAPTER XXXVIII

Ye Qian is very comfortable in Yuwangfu, eating, drinking and having fun every day. King Yu has always been with her, only taking a little time every day to meet his subordinates and deal with urgent matters.

Ye Qian likes the lake of the palace very much, boating on the lake, picking a lotus pod, blowing a little cool breeze, throwing a lotus seed into her mouth, slowly biting and eating, the most comfortable.

King Yu saw that she liked it, and took her to Linping Lake, that is, the place where the dragon boat race was last time, no matter how big the lake in the palace was, it was not as good as Linping Lake on the outskirts of the city.

The prince's painting boat that Ye Qian saw last time in Linping Lake was very low-key, from the outside, I would never think that it was the prince's, King Yu's painting boat was different, it was very luxurious at first glance, and the interior was also very comfortable, The floor on the second floor was covered with snow-white soft fur, and the big pillow embroidered with green lotus leaves wanted to lean on it at a glance. On the small table was a snack specially prepared for her by King Yu, small and exquisite, Ye Qian couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

The surface of Linping Lake is extremely wide, and the boat slowly leaves the shore and heads towards the middle of the water. Ye Qian pinched a small snack, leaned on the window, watching the people on the shore gradually become smaller, she took a bite of the snack, but suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Hey-cough-cough-" She just wanted to speak, but she choked on the snack, King Yu was by her side, and hurriedly patted her back, and when she coughed less severely, she handed over a cup of warm tea, and Ye Qian drank half a cup in one go, and then she felt relieved.

King Yu looked at her well, and his white jade-like fingers flicked lightly on her head, "Don't be in a hurry to talk when eating, see how uncomfortable it is to choke yourself." The little girl choked uncomfortably, and a layer of mist appeared in her big apricot eyes, which was pitiful, and he was very distressed to see it, so she took out the silk handkerchief and pressed it lightly on her eyes, and the handkerchief suddenly became wet with two small balls.

"That person seems to be a big sister." Ye Qian's round and short index finger cocked and pointed at Ye Fu, who was leaving the shore.

"Well, it's her." King Yu's eyesight was excellent, and he recognized it at a casual glance, and Ye Fu left the shore and got on the prince's boat.

The corners of King Yu's mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, the last time Ye Fu stayed on the prince's boat, he thought it was a lot of bad luck, after all, the prince's hobbies are extremely perverted, and there are almost no survivors, but he didn't expect Ye Fu to escape from death. After thinking about it, he understood that the prince's previous killings were all stolen girls from his subordinates, all of them from poor families in the countryside, this kind of people don't value women in the first place, and they don't care if they die and lose them, plus they are afraid of the government, and few people go to report to the officials. The prince himself is also very careful, and this kind of thing is also accidental, so there are no cases of large-scale disappearances of women.

Ye Fu is different, she was not looted by the prince, but sent to the door by herself, it can be said that you are willing to do it, even if it is known, at most it is not dignified, and it will not be convicted of the prince. Moreover, it is estimated that this is the first young official girl that the prince has ever played, and it may be because she was born in the Hou Mansion and the prince had scruples that he saved her life.

Ye Fu was not afraid of death or pain, so she was sent to the door again so soon. King Yu snorted lightly and advised: "Qianqian stay away from her in the future, especially don't go out with her again." ”

Mother and brother also told themselves so, and Ye Qian nodded obediently. Seeing that she was so well-behaved, King Yu rubbed the top of her hairy head.

Ye Fu is not as bold as King Yu thought, she is afraid of pain and death, but the prince sent someone to ask her, and she didn't dare to refuse, and what happened to the prince, even if she was afraid to die, she also regarded herself as the prince's person, originally thought that she could drag it out, and then enter the East Palace in a few years, but she didn't expect the prince to summon her again so soon, and the scars on her body had just faded.

Meng Shi already knew about her and the crown prince, and didn't care about her at all. Qi naturally hoped that she could win the prince's favor, and the old lady also ordered her to dress up and go out quickly, and Ye Fu got on the prince's painting boat in fear.

King Yu ordered the painting boat to stay away from the prince, he didn't want his little girl to see anything in the way.

After swimming through Linping Lake, King Yu took Ye Qian to Tianxianglou for lunch, and then personally sent her back to the Hou Mansion. King Yu naturally wanted the little girl to live in the palace for a long time, but the Meng family would not agree, and in the past few days, he had already sent people to see him twice.

Ye Qian first went to see her mother and brother, then returned to her courtyard, took a nap, wrote a few words, and after dinner, went to Shou'an Hall to greet the old lady.

At first sight of the old lady, Ye Qian was startled, the old lady seemed to have gained a lot of weight, her face was round, her double chin came out, and the clothes on her body were a little tight.

In fact, since the Meng family took charge, the old lady has been getting fat, and she can't do clothes, but she doesn't feel it every day, Ye Qian went to Yuwang's Mansion for a few days, and suddenly realized it.

She looked at her mother suspiciously, Meng Shi naturally knew what she was thinking, blinked her eyes quickly, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it to Qianqian, don't tell anyone, no one likes others to say that they are fat." ”

Ye Qian thought about it, when Ye Fu and Ye Rong said that they were fat, she was not happy.

Meng Shi smiled and pinched her baby daughter's little fat hand, the old lady poisoned her, although she didn't know how to use more powerful poison to return it, but she knew that eating a lot of lard would make people fat, and if people are old and too fat, it is easy to stroke. Although the results are slow, they will be able to wait one day.

Meng Shi quietly told the kitchen that the dishes made for the old lady were fried with lard, and the scallion pancakes baked for the old lady were also filled with lard, and where oil was used, lard was used instead, and the amount was doubled.

Not to mention, the dishes stir-fried in this way are very fragrant, and they are very popular with the old lady, and her meals are bigger than usual, so even if she feels that she is fat, she thinks it is the reason for her appetite. No one dared to say how much weight she had gained, she only thought that she had gained a little bit of weight.

The old lady looked at Meng Shi and Ye Qian whispering, and asked loudly, "What are you two muttering?" Meng knew that he had been poisoned, but he kept quiet and quietly detoxified the poison without telling people, so he invited the patriarch and came to a surprise attack, which caught her and the second child off guard, and had to push the Qi family out to blame. She suspected that Meng already knew that she was the real mastermind behind the scenes, but everyone did not tear their faces and maintained a superficial harmony.

"I'm asking my mother," Ye Qian looked up and glanced around the room, "Why don't you see your big sister?" ”

The old lady's face sank, and the prince was too vicious, Ye Fu went out in the morning, and when she came back, she was unconscious and covered in scars, but the prince only gave a bottle of wound medicine, and didn't even give a word. The old lady coughed lightly, "Sister Fu'er went out today, she caught a cold, she was unwell, and she had stopped taking medicine." ”

Thinking that the person is the crown prince, the prince of a country, and he will ascend to the throne in the future, the old lady is not so unjust in her heart, even if Sister Fu'er suffers a little sin now, she will have a great transformation in the future, doesn't it say that "only if you suffer hardship can you become a master"?

The old lady looked at the Mei family with a cloudy gaze, and then looked at the Meng family, and now they have three rooms in the Hou Mansion, but they are in three camps: Sister Qian in the big house is Princess Yu; Sister Fu in the second room has a relationship with the prince again; Sanfang Mei's father is the right-hand man of King Rui. Regardless of whether the crown prince calmly ascends the throne or the second prince Ruiwang overturns the tables in the future, the Hou Mansion can be invincible. As for King Yu, the old lady shook her head secretly, even if the prince's follower, the third prince, King Kang, ascended the throne, it would not be the turn of the fourth prince, King Yu. Now Sister Qian'er is the highest status, and when the crown prince or King Rui ascends the throne, she will naturally make this Princess Yu obedient.

Meng knew what happened to Ye Fu, and he didn't show it on his face, so he laughed with Mei Shi with the old lady, and the old lady waved her hand and let them all go, but left the second old man Ye Chengxun.

"Second brother, what do you think of the current situation?" When everyone left, the old lady asked Ye Chengxun.

Ye Chengxun pondered for a moment, the Qi family was imprisoned, and the Meng family was a righteous Mrs. Hou, who was in charge of the second room in the middle feed, and now he was even nervous about the money for eating wine with his colleagues. And Ye Qian became Princess Yu, seeing that the power of Dafang had grown like this, it was really different from a few months ago. These are all trivial matters, the key is that Ye Li is getting older day by day, if he is just left alone, when he reaches the crown, he will attack the knight, then all the efforts they made in front of them will be in vain.

"We must start early and cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Ye Chenghun said firmly.

Originally, he didn't plan to deal with Ye Li so early, he thought that in another two years, when everyone completely forgot about Ji Pinghou, he would let Ye Li have an accident, so as not to cause others to speculate about the two accidents. But now that the power of Dafang is getting stronger and stronger, he is afraid that he will have many dreams at night, as long as he gets rid of Ye Li, Meng will definitely fall ill again, and when the time comes, he will simply send her on the road, anyway, he lost his beloved son, and he couldn't stand the blow and died of a serious illness, which is completely reasonable.

As for Ye Qian, without Ye Li and Meng, she is an eight-year-old girl, even if she has the name of Princess Yu, she can't do anything.

The old lady nodded, "It's okay, I always feel that Meng Shi seems to know something, but she is scheming and can't see it from the surface." ”

"Don't worry." Ye Chenghun comforted: "Without Ye Li, there are only two women left in the big house, and no matter how scheming you are, you can't become a climate." "You can't let Ye Qian attack the lord, there has never been a female marquis in this world, and today's saint is not such a whimsical person, and he will definitely not make a female marquis come out.

The old lady advised: "Then you can arrange it as soon as possible, be thorough, don't go wrong, if you need silver, I still have some there." ”

Ye Chenghun nodded, and said hesitantly: "Mother, how have you been ...... lately?" Rich? ”

The old lady was a little displeased, "I just have a better appetite lately." ”

"It's better to be careful." Ye Chenghun was a little worried, getting fat too quickly was not a good sign.

The old lady waved her hand impatiently, "Got it, tomorrow I will tell the kitchen to make the meal lighter." ”
