Chapter 17: The Concubine in the Mansion
was about to leave, but suddenly heard the housekeeper say that Ye Shoufu came to visit.
Why did this old guy get here?
Lin Ye frowned.
He glanced at his subordinates, and the subordinates ushered Ye Shoufu into the front hall.
Lin Ye was already waiting in the front hall.
Ye Shoufu glanced at Lin Ye, and then bowed.
"Ye Shoufu came here this time, if there is anything, let's talk about it directly."
Lin Ye smiled hypocritically.
When Ye Shoufu heard this, he also laughed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I came to ask for someone to marry Chu Xue."
Asking for a marriage?
Lin Ye raised his head sharply and looked at Ye Shoufu.
Ye Shoufu tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"When I adopted her, I assigned her to the son of an old friend of mine."
"Now that that old friend has come to the door, I want to leave the first snow with you, it seems that it is not appropriate."
Speaking of this, it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Ye would be angry.
Ye Shoufu continued to explain.
"I know that I have sent the first snow to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she is your person."
"That's why I said, I propose it to you."
"If you are willing, I will directly ask people to prepare a dowry, and on the day of the first snow, I will pick them up."
Lin Ye sneered when he heard this.
Is the co-author thinking of himself as the maiden home of the first snow?
Can't this Ye Shoufu have a face?
"Ye Shoufu, what do you mean is that you want to pass on my concubine to others?"
As soon as the word "concubine" fell.
Ye Shoufu was stunned.
The first snow was carefully trained by him and Dong Guifei.
Although the two of them instructed Chu Xue to seduce the prince, they also told Chu Xue that they could not completely give themselves to the prince.
How could he have expected that this was already the case!
"It's the minister's fault, the minister didn't know that the girl in the first snow had already had it with the prince...... The minister then rejected the old friend's marriage offer. ”
Ye Shoufu knelt down with a thud.
Lin Ye chuckled and nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Chu Xue, who was called by the people in the house, also heard the conversation of the people in the hall.
She bit her red lip lightly, understanding that Ye Shoufu was here to pick her up today.
Lin Ye caught a glimpse of Chu Xue standing under the hall, and he waved his hand at the woman.
Seeing this, the woman bowed and stepped forward slowly.
Lin Ye pulled through the first snow.
Chu Xue exclaimed in surprise and crooked into Lin Ye's arms.
Lin Ye hugged Chu Xue and stared at Ye Shoufu.
His hand rubbed over Chu Xue's body, and Ye Shoufu saw Lin Ye like this, his eyes darkened.
This is telling himself that Hatsuyuki is already his person.
Ye Shoufu gritted his teeth and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Chu Xue's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But Lin Ye's hand resting on her waist moved slightly, pinching the soft flesh on her waist.
Chu Xue exclaimed in surprise and looked at Lin Ye with some uneasiness.
Lin Ye slowly spoke, and said to Ye Shoufu, who was kneeling on the ground.
"I won't punish the crime, Ye Shoufu, please go back."
Ye Shoufu smiled and slowly got up.
He didn't look at the first snow in Lin Ye's arms again, and was about to turn around and leave, but Lin Ye suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Ye Shoufu, I heard that Concubine Dong Guifei is about to celebrate her birthday."
"I plan to prepare a birthday gift for her, but I don't know what kind of birthday gift is suitable for me, please help me pick one and send it to the concubine."
Ye Shoufu's footsteps paused.
He frowned, the prince suddenly wanted to give a gift to Concubine Dong?
What's the plan? Are you going to win over Concubine Dong?
But if that's the case, why ask yourself to help choose a gift?
Dong Guifei is the backing of the second prince, and the prince should not bother to win over Dong Guifei.
"I understand."
I couldn't figure out Lin Ye's thoughts, Ye Shoufu still bowed down.
Watching Ye Shoufu's figure disappear outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Ye looked at the first snow in his arms.
Chu Xue's cheeks were flushed, and when she noticed Lin Ye's gaze, Chu Xue smiled sweetly.
"Staying in your mansion, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is a blessing for the first snow."
"Chu Xue is willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forever."
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.
He pulled Chu Xue to stand up and asked the housekeeper in the house to send Chu Xue to the backyard.
He also had to enter the palace and hand over the drawings to Emperor Zhou.
Chu Xue and Ye Shoufu, who parted ways, had their own hearts.
Chu Xue still remembered that Lin Ye said that he would give Dong Guifei a birthday gift.
She didn't know what the prince's purpose was in doing this?
Are you going to show favor to Ye Shoufu and Dong Guifei?
Or is there another purpose?
On the other hand, Ye Shoufu didn't know if Chu Xue would be able to continue to be used by him after he had a relationship with Lin Ye.
On the way back, Ye Shoufu pondered for a while, and asked the news that Chu Xue had become Lin Ye's concubine to the second prince.
When the second prince heard this, he was furious.
He has coveted the first snow for a long time.
Originally, he planned to leave Hatsuyuki in his mansion after Hatsuyuki helped them deal with the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, I waited for the news today.
"How can this be reasonable, the prince actually dares to accept Chu Xue as a concubine!"
"The crown prince should not have time to inform His Majesty, if we tell Your Majesty......"
The prince's mansion accepts people, even if it is a concubine, and he has to inform Emperor Zhou.
The old steward on the side stepped forward cautiously.
When the second prince heard this, he sneered, and he shook his head.
Now that the raw rice has been cooked, he doesn't worry about the first snow.
In addition, Emperor Zhou is now valuing the crown prince, and they are going to find Emperor Zhou with this matter, and Emperor Zhou will most likely not condemn the prince.
But it's just a concubine.
Emperor Zhou may even reward more beauties to the crown prince!
"Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace to see the concubine!"
The second prince gave an order, and the old steward in the mansion hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, Lin Ye had also entered the palace in a carriage.
When Emperor Zhou heard that Lin Ye had something important to discuss, he immediately sent Lin Ye to the imperial study.
As soon as he stepped into the study, Lin Ye noticed that Emperor Zhou's face seemed to have a look of sadness.
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to ask.
"Father, what do you seem to be worried about?"
When Emperor Zhou heard this, he sighed and nodded.
He threw the letter he had received from the border in front of Lin Ye.
Lin Ye leaned over and picked up the letter, looked at it carefully, and his face became serious.
The truth did not surprise him.
The people of Yan couldn't hold their breath, and the envoy had just left the capital.
Several small countries that have a subordinate relationship with Yan have already made changes.
Now there is a small country not far from the Zhou State, and even sent a large number of soldiers and horses to approach several important towns on the west side of the Zhou State.
"I'll just say there's no way they're going to sit still."
"However, the soldiers of this small country are not strong, and the soldiers and horses sent are quite a lot for the defenders in their country."
"But for the soldiers and horses stationed in the western town of our Zhou Kingdom, it is nothing."
When Emperor Zhou heard this, his brows tightened.
"That being said, my people have sent news that the defenders of the city over there will ...... Collar is missing! ”
Generals missing?
This is no small matter.
The general disappeared, and the people's hearts were scattered.
At this time, there was a large army pressing the border, and when the people in the city were in turmoil, the defenders in the city were also prone to chaos.
The top priority at the moment is to send capable generals to the border as soon as possible to suppress the formation.
