The next day, Zhao Zhen followed Ye Pei's advice and summoned Fan Zhongyan alone.

After Fan Zhongyan finished talking about the disaster in the river, he immediately said: "If you stop eating in the palace for half a day, what should Your Majesty do?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "What Fan Qing said is very reasonable, I plan to send you back to appease the victims, open a warehouse to release grain, and display the weeds that the victims are hungry for in the imperial court, so as to warn Ouchi and the royal relatives to quit arrogance." ”

Fan Zhongyan originally planned to risk his life to admonish, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to change his previous attitude of ignoring it and repent. Hurriedly knelt down and thanked him and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "You don't have to thank me, go back and thank your wife!" ”

Fan Zhongyan stared at Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen said: "On the birthday of the eldest princess, it was your wife who found the county lord of Le'an and told her about the disaster. Alas, I envy you couple who share the wind and rain! ”

Fan Zhongyan knew what Zhao Zhen was referring to, so he bowed to the ground and said: "It's the minister who is narrow-minded and fails to understand the loyalty of the county lord. ”

"Would you like to withdraw her, then?"

Fan Zhongyan shook his head and said, "The minister still insists that the lord of Le'an cannot be canonized as the queen!" ”

"You-" Zhao Zhen really wanted to point at Fan Zhongyan's nose and scold, but he couldn't.

After that, the official Zhao Zhen relented and retreated, and took the opportunity of disaster relief to shine on Fan Zhongyan's disaster relief efforts, and transferred him back to the center. The admonition of the officials to depose the meritorious heroes only stopped for a while.

Regarding the selection of the queen, Zongzheng and the courtiers did not bother to Zhang Luo. The official Zhao Zhen was originally resistant to this, but after listening to Ye Pei's words that day, he was willing to face it.

Zhao Zhen understood that only by canonizing the queen as soon as possible would the accusations against Ye Pei among the courtiers be slowed down. He thought to himself: If you can't marry Ye Pei, whoever you marry is the same.

In the end, he selected the granddaughter of Guo Chong, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, as the queen, and the Ministry of Rites undertook the emperor's wedding.

------

Ye Pei didn't care about meeting Xiao Song on Fantai Street, but who knew that Song Qi went back and wrote a poem, which was sung in the hands of the scholars, and in the end, even the official family was shocked.

This is a song "Partridge Heaven": painting hub carved saddle narrow road. A broken bowel in the embroidery curtain. There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart. Gold is the house, and jade is the cage. The car is like a flowing water. Liu Lang already hated Pengshan far away, and he was tens of thousands of miles away from Pengshan.

A poem is said gracefully and affectionately, and I miss it a lot.

Ye Pei read the meaning of this poem when he held it in his hand. She found Xia Qinyuan and asked, "Qinyuan, when we came back from the eldest princess's mansion that day, we happened to meet Xiao Song on the way, so I knew that you were familiar with him." What is the relationship between you and Xiao Song? ”

Xia Qinyuan was a little scared, she knelt down and begged for mercy and said, "County Lord, is there something wrong with the slave maid?" The slave and maid did not dare to fornicate with the foreign man, so they asked the county lord to forgive the slave and maid. ”

Ye Pei helped Xia Qinyuan up and said gently: "This matter is big or small, now I don't know what things have developed, now I can only help you if you tell me the truth." ”

Xia Qinyuan nodded, and she stammered, "I...... The slave's hometown is in Yongqiu, and Xiao Song is a neighbor, and they have known each other since childhood, and they grew up together. Later, my family moved to Bianjing, and the slave maid entered the palace, he should have entered Beijing to take the exam, and he stayed in the capital after winning the Jinshi. It was the first time we had encountered that day, and there was really no personal relationship between men and women. ”

Ye Pei looked at Xia Qin

Yuan Hongtong's face smiled and said, "What is the private relationship between men and women? You and his childhood sweetheart, if he is willing to marry you, are you willing to marry him? ”

One sentence made Xia Qinyuan's face as red as fire. "I ......"

"If you don't want to, I will let the official family order him to be punished heavily, who let him ruin your reputation in vain! It's best to get rid of his Jinshi name and just rush back to his hometown! Ye Pei pretended to be angry and said.

"Don't, county lord, don't do this to him!"

Ye Pei smiled: "Then what do you say?" ”

Xia Qinyuan lowered his head with a red face, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "If he has affectionate expectations for me, I naturally shouldn't bear him." ”

At this moment, the official Zhao Zhen walked into Qifeng Pavilion, holding a book of paper in his hand and said, "Pei'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Xia Qinyuan hurriedly stepped aside.

Ye Pei got up and saluted: "Sixth brother went down to the court so early today?" ”

"After Fan Zhongyan came back, I was much more relaxed, he was really annoying, he couldn't find it by himself, how good was it to stay by my side all the time?" Zhao Zhen said this, but there was a smug look on his face.

Ye Pei took the paper book in Zhao Zhen's hand, helped him clean his hands, and asked, "What is the sixth brother holding in his hand?" ”

"This is a phrase that has been widely sung in the Korean sergeant doctor recently, and I will share it with you. It was written by Xiao Song, it's Song Qi, you know? Last year's new section. ”

Ye Pei nodded, "Well, I've heard of it." It's the younger brother in the 'double champion'. ”

"Yes, yes, that's him. I heard that he passed by Fantai Street one day, and happened to meet the royal ceremonial driver, and when he saw the girl sitting in the car, he fell in love, and every day he thought of lovesickness, and sang there that he could not meet him again. I don't know which girl he fell in love with. ”

Ye Pei brought a cup of tea to Zhao Zhen and said with a smile: "How about asking which girl it is?" Does the official family still want to give him a marriage? ”

"Marriage?" Zhao Zhen thought about it and said: "It's okay, I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married!" ”

"Didn't the sixth brother ask him which girl he saw?"

"I didn't ask, but I said that it was the royal ceremonial driver, who else could there be in the chariot and horse from Ouchi?" Zhao Zhen said thoughtfully while gently blowing on the cup of hot tea.

"That's my car!" Ye Pei said softly.

"What?!" Zhao Zhen just drank a mouthful of hot tea in his mouth and spit it out. "Bold! How dare he be so frivolous and rude! ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen wanted to attack, he was pressed by Ye Pei. "Seeing that the sixth brother is in a hurry," Ye Pei pursed his lips and smiled, "Xiao Song admires Xia Qinyuan, they are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses." ”

Chen Zhongyi took the teacup in Zhao Zhen's hand and helped him wipe the stains.

Zhao Zhen took Ye Pei's hand and said, "You scared me to death!" If he dares to be rude to you, I will demote him to Hainan!" ”

Ye Pei snorted and laughed again.

"You dare to laugh!" Zhao Zhen glared at Ye Pei.

"That day, when I came out of the eldest princess's mansion, I happened to meet Xiao Song, the wind blew up the curtain, Xia Qinyuan saw that it was Song Qi and shouted unintentionally, who would have thought that Song Qi still heard it. The two sides met with a lot of emotion. This Xiao Song is really an infatuated Lang Jun, he actually writes lyrics and lyrics, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes! ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly said sadly: "I can give him a marriage, but who will give me a marriage?" ”

Ye Pei stroked Zhao Zhen's hand and said: "Fate is a very mysterious thing, if I had died in the wilderness of Shuzhou back then."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Nosato, I guess the sixth brother will never see me in this life. ”

Zhao Zhen was even more sentimental, "So, I also want to thank God for giving you the gift to meet me again?" ”

"Fate has its own destiny, and you can't force it."

Zhao Zhen hugged Ye Pei, "Can we only resign ourselves to fate?" ”

Ye Pei comforted him and said, "I will always silently guard the sixth brother." ”

The next day, the official Zhao Zhen issued an order to marry Song Qi and Xia Qinyuan, and promoted Song Qi to Dali Temple.

The shy Xia Qinyuan said "Lang Selection" to find the Ruyi Langjun, and was rewarded with a lot of dowries from the official family and the county lord, so he was so happy.

Not to mention their happy event, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, and the emperor's wedding day is also coming.

------

Ye Pei said that he didn't care, but his heart was extremely sour. She counted the days when Zhao Zhen's wedding was approaching every day, and she lived day by day.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the most desolate. On August 15, the light rain fell from morning to midnight, and Ye Pei didn't even see a little moonlight.

Because of the preparation for the wedding process, Zhao Zhen did not come to spend the night with her. Or afraid of facing Ye Pei, Zhao Zhen rarely comes to Qifeng Pavilion these days.

Ye Pei remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival when she first met Zhao Zhen and secretly entered the palace, the moonlight was like silver, she ate the moon cakes that Zhao Zhen brought back to her, drank the tea he ordered for her, and told interesting stories about their childhood, how happy and without worry!

In the blink of an eye, both of them have grown up, and they have more and more things to face, but they are becoming more and more lonely. Ye Pei held a wine glass, but felt that the wine was so cold and spicy that it was difficult to swallow.

"Put the lamp sadly, who will share the lonely light in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ye Pei let out a lament.

Ye Pei opened the book "Hug Puzi" left by her master, and just turned to an article "Huang Bai", and saw a sentence that read, "My life is in my absence." ”

Yes, Master is right, I shouldn't feel sorry for myself like this, I should find my own way of living, do what I really want to do, and live according to my heart.

Master said that no matter how great love is, once it restricts your freedom, you should abandon it without hesitation! Self? Freely! Ye Pei kept repeating, holding the wine glass in his hand tightly.

No matter how afraid the day will come, the golden autumn September, the emperor's wedding day has finally arrived, and the whole country is happy.

Ye Pei was sitting in the pavilion, and she could hear the sound of ritual music coming from the Danfeng Gate, which made her feel uneasy. In front of her eyes, Zhao Zhen was wearing a crimson dress, walking side by side with the queen in green clothes and a phoenix crown.

Is it envy? Is it jealousy? Ye Pei kept asking himself, only to feel lingering boredom and irritability.

Ye Pei wanted to go to the library to find a book to read, but he took out a copy of "The Book of Rites" and opened it to read: "There are six ceremonies for marriage, Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Naji, inviting and greeting ......" was so angry that he threw the book directly on the ground.

In the evening, it is estimated that the emperor's wedding has been completed, and the entire Ouchi has returned to its former quietness.

Ye Pei practiced martial arts in the courtyard, and when she was sweating profusely and exhausted, she carried a bottle of plum wine and jumped on the roof to enjoy the coolness.

After drinking a few sips of fruit wine, the coolness was refreshing into the heart and spleen, and Ye Pei's irritability was also eased a lot. She lay on the ridge of the roof with her legs crossed, her head resting on the devouring beast on the side of the ridge, and her eyes were full of stars, as if the world had become wide again, and her heart had also become broad.
