Chapter Twenty-Four: My Sister Is Coming
Ye Juelu lowered his head and confessed, "Yes, the minister is guilty, please forgive the emperor." β
The emperor trembled angrily and pointed at him, the youthful friendship that has supported each other all the way for so many years, of course it is impossible to kill, but if you want to scold, you can't scold anything excessive, "Bastard thing!" β
Ye Juelu's head was lowered, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "The minister must complete the entrustment within three years, guard the country and the society for the emperor, and implore the emperor to let the minister return to his hometown after three years." β
"Tell the old man, where are you going to go back to your hometown!"
"Back to Uchiko, where she goes, the minister is."
The emperor sneered, "At the beginning, you had to keep her for your mother, I agreed, and your marriage was approved, what kind of person is that wife of yours, I have also heard of it, are you stupid and blind as soon as I ascend the throne?" Now that the granddaughter of the old thief has gone to Biansai, she hasn't tossed you to death, nor has she tossed herself to death? Or did you change wives again? β
Ye Jielu raised his head and looked at the emperor, grinning, his cold face was full of pride and sneer, "Back to the emperor, Neizi has been reborn and reborn. β
Ye Juelu smiled too happily, too dazzling, the emperor looked very unpleasant, he begged for perfection in the harem, Ye Juelu lived a sweet life, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
"The granddaughter of the old thief Ming, what a good thing can it be!"
Ye Jielu smiled even more happily, "Back to the emperor, she is no longer facing the Ming family, she is her, not facing anyone, and she has her own rules of justice in her heart." β
The emperor glanced at him strangely, "The nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change, I have not seen it with my own eyes, I don't believe it." β
After speaking, the emperor picked up a ball of paper on the table and opened it in front of him, Ye Jielu was in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to raise his hand to stop it, "Your Majesty, slow down!" β
The emperor frowned, shook his hand and directly unfolded the paper ball, "Bold, what do you write that is rebellious and not let me see it!" β
"Minister......
After the emperor saw those words, the whole person was stunned, looking at Ye Juelu's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and the stimulation given to him by the old thief was not as great as Ye Juelu.
Ye Juelu didn't dare to look at him with a weak heart, and said resignedly: "Minister...... It's just writing a letter to ...... family."
The emperor didn't believe in evil, and opened several paper balls in a row, all of which made him unbelievable, "Siqing? Chao also Siqing, twilight also Siqing? Are you okay? Ye Juelu, you have been taken away! β
"Chen--I am in love with her, but I am just writing a letter to my family." Ye Jielu blushed in annoyance, and regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, he got up angrily.
The emperor didn't care about his faux pas, but just threw the paper ball on him in disgust, "What is the meaning of being sour, I really didn't expect you to be such a person!" β
Ye Jielu glared at him angrily, "Then how did the emperor write his family letter?" β
The emperor gave him a blank look, "According to you, it is better to write more frankly and straightforwardly, which is much better than this sour and big tooth word." β
"The minister has been taught, if the emperor is fine, please return to the palace as soon as possible."
The emperor saw that he was really interested in the granddaughter of the old thief, and his mood was complicated, but he still had to say what he had to say, so he crossed Erlang's legs and said to Ye Jielu what happened recently.
"These days, after the concubine of the Ming family became Prince Heng's princess, she frequently got close to some housewives in Beijing, but the Ming family did not make a big move.
"On the eve of a storm, the sea is always calm." Ye Jielu cleaned up the paper balls all over the ground, and said in a deep voice: "What is the Ming family planning, Prince Heng has lived in a simple house for so many years, there must be a problem when he goes out of Beijing this time." β
"If it weren't for the sudden rise of my father, he would be sitting in this position now." The emperor stretched out his hand and pinched the pastries on the table, his eyes already showing awe-inspiring murderous intent, "The border plug is beyond the jurisdiction of my Praetorian Guard, how many people are hidden in this desolate and vast border stopper...... Don't let me down, my good uncle. β
"If he ascends to the throne, he will surely kill the sons and sons of his siblings." When Ye Jielu heard that he was going to the side plug, his heart tightened, "The emperor suspects that Prince Heng's private soldiers are hiding in the side stopper?" But the minister has been on the side for so many years......"
The Emperor glanced at him, "Where will you pass on the way to Biansai, do you want me to tell you?" β
Ye Jielu was stunned, "...... Passing through Prince Heng's fiefdom, Yongzhou, Yongzhou City is not far from the border stopper. β
The emperor smiled coldly, "Then guess, why did the imperial uncle say that he would go to the border to play?" β
Ye Jielu sank his face, "Catch the golden eagle, build momentum, and raise troops." β
The emperor patted the pastry on his hand, "Your soldiers in Biansaitun can send an order to go down and toss upside down, and find out the power of Yongzhou City." β
"Yes."
"But, I'm still angry, you're locked up for two days."
Ye Jielu silently watched a plate of pastries being crumbled into pieces by the emperor, "...... Be. β
Before the emperor left, he was suddenly curious about the person who could turn Ye Jielu, a hundred steel-hardened into finger-twisting softness, "I know that you miss your family, so I will summon your family into the palace for you, and I want to see what the granddaughter of the old thief can be reborn into." β
"Emperor Xie!"
Ye Jielu hadn't seen Ming Lanying for several months, he didn't know if Ming Lanying wanted to, but he was weird, if Prince Heng really had a heavy army in Yongzhou City, there would inevitably be a chaotic battle between Yongzhou City and Yongzhou City, and Ming Lanying and they might be implicated at that time, so it was better to take it with him.
The next day, after the emperor went down to court, Defu, the chief eunuch next to him, came to report that Song Shanshan asked to see him outside the palace.
"Who is Song Shanshan?"
Defu smiled helplessly, "The one who wrote poems on the day of the New Year's Day, and the one you named the leader, Song Shanshan, the daughter of the former Song family." β
The emperor was reminded for a moment before he remembered, frowning and waving his hand impatiently, "What did she come to see me for?" I also exiled the Song family, the daughter of a criminal minister, and disappeared. β
Defu hurriedly bowed down, "I'm still pleading for the Ye sinners in the prison." β
As soon as he said this, the emperor's interest came, and the daughter of a criminal minister interceded for another criminal minister, what a big face, "Biography." β
"Yes."
Song Shanshan was dressed in a plain blue and white fairy dress, calmly and unhurriedly, and her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, which made the emperor a little familiar.
"Lift your head and take a look."
Song Shanshan raised her head slowly, respectfully lowered her eyebrows and looked at the floor, looking weak and strong, her eyebrows were familiar to the emperor, but she was not as hearty as the lady in her impression.
"What else do you have to see me?"
"The untouchables beg the emperor to forgive Ye Juelu, he has no intention of offending the emperor!"
"Oh? How do you know he didn't mean that? What is your relationship with him? β
Song Shanshan's face was shy, but she said calmly and frankly: "Untouchable...... I've loved him for a long time, he's a hero to the untouchables, and the untouchables believe he's not like that! Please spare him! β
The emperor chuckled disdainfully, and the light Song Shanshan thought it was an auditory hallucination, "You pleaded for him like this, does Ye Jielu know?" And what does he do to you? β
Song Shanshan's cheeks were shy, but she said firmly: "I am not married, he is married, although we have no fate, but I can't bear to embarrass him, it is already willing to do these things for him, as long as I watch him do well, the untouchables will be satisfied." β
The emperor lazily changed his sitting posture and looked condescendingly at Song Shanshan, who was kneeling on the cold floor tiles, "You mean that I gave them a marriage and ruined your fate?" β
"The untouchables don't dare to think so!" Song Shanshan has been kneeling, and now it is convenient for her to kowtow, "The emperor's marriage is the importance of Ye Juelu, and the untouchables have to thank the emperor Longen!" As for the feelings of the untouchables, they don't matter. β
"Really?" The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Song Shanshan who was crawling on the ground casually, her plain flowing fairy skirt outlined her slender and graceful figure, and her low body trembled slightly, like a wounded moth, but unfortunately he was not interested in her, and Ye Jielu was not interested in her.
"I also want to forgive him, but he refuses to bow his head and admit his mistakes, and it is difficult for me to do it, for the sake of your affection for him, I will let you persuade him and let him say something nice to my satisfaction."
"Emperor Xie!"
The emperor smiled evilly, and it was good to add some blockage to Ye Juelu.
Song Shanshan hurriedly went to the prison with her skirt, her dedication must let Ye Jielu know, if others mention this matter in the future, the first person who thinks of praising her is her, otherwise her contribution will be meaningless.
After Song Shanshan left, the emperor finally couldn't help laughing, "She's much worse than her mother, not like her at all, Defu, go and stare at it, I want to know Ye Juelu's reaction." β
"Yes." Defu smiled helplessly, he has been serving by the emperor's side since he was a child, he has seen a lot of women like Song Shanshan, and he has given everything for love, but he can't wait for the whole world to praise her.
Song Shanshan hurriedly went to the prison to see Ye Juelu, and Ye Jielu had just finished writing a satisfactory letter to his family according to the emperor's request, when he was interrupted by a "Brother Ye".
"Why are you here?"
Song Shanshan looked at him through the railing with tears in her eyes, "Brother Ye, you've made you suffer......"
Ye Jielu looked around the well-equipped cell, Song Shanshan's tears of desire first choked in her throat, but she still forced herself to finish speaking, "Brother Ye, you don't have to hold on, I know you are not used to being here, and I have always been worried about you, I know that it was not your fault that you didn't enter Beijing with me at the beginning, I don't blame you, you are not used to the side, so I tried to get the emperor's favor and immediately pleaded with the emperor......"
Ye Jielu had long lost his patience with her, her tears and feelings made him feel that it was a drag, after he realized that he liked Ming Lanying, he felt that Song Shanshan was a stumbling block on his way to chasing his wife, a little obstructive and annoying.
"I'm doing well here, and if it weren't for you, I would have been able to live better with my lady again."
Song Shanshan was speechless for a moment, and Defu, who was eavesdropping in the dark, was stunned, trying to hold back his laughter.
After a while, Song Shanshan re-brewed her emotions, "Brother Ye, do you have any misunderstanding about me, I have always been in your heart-"
"That's enough, I have clearly rejected you a long time ago, and I don't need you to do anything for me, we have nothing to do with each other, I already have a family, I love my lady very much, I can't tolerate other people in my heart, please go back."
Song Shanshan couldn't hold her face, covered her face and ran away crying, Defu went back to learn to the emperor in 1510, and the emperor laughed unscrupulously.
"Ye Juelu, Ye Juelu, it has to be you."
Defu eavesdropped in the dark and was embarrassed for Song Shanshan, and sure enough, he was not old and dizzy, and he knew what kind of woman Song Shanshan was at a glance.
The emperor waved his hand and asked him to go down to deliver the decree, "Let Ye Jielu's family enter the capital to face the saint, and I want to meet him." β
"Yes."
When Ye Jielu's news came back to Biansai, it was already seven days later, Ming Lanying was relieved when she heard the news, and called back the little insects that interfered with Prince Heng's convoy with confidence.
Ming Lanying glanced at her, "Don't be too happy, Prince Heng is coming here to catch the golden eagle." β
Hebai held the little wolf cub and fed him goat milk and meat soup little by little, and muttered indifferently: "What are you afraid of, they can't catch that stinky bird, and Prince Heng is not delicate and expensive, turn around and call two poisonous spiders and poisonous scorpions, go and bite him, let him go directly to the west, once and for all!" β
Ming Lanying wrung her eyebrows and looked at the low sky outside the window uneasily, "If only it could be so simple, Prince Heng died in the side plug, and everyone over there would be implicated, and we wouldn't be able to run away at that time, why did he have to be a golden eagle?" β
"Isn't he sick? Used to save yourself with medicine? β
Ming Lanying pinched the soft ears of the little wolf cub, and was dodged by the little wolf cub shaking his head, and was licked his fingers, "If the golden eagle had this effect, Zhao Lao would have gone to catch it a long time ago, and he would have found you a snow lotus, which was an ordinary big bird, I am afraid that his purpose of catching the golden eagle is not simple." β
Hebai hated to use his brain the most, and shook his head irritably, "No matter what he wants to do, if he dares to trouble you, I'll cut him!" β
Ming Lanying said casually: "What is he doing to trouble me?" β
"I'm really in trouble for you."
The familiar fox voice, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, Hebai hurriedly hugged the little wolf cub and protected Ming Lanying's side, she still rejected people like Ming Langtao.
Ming Langtao confidently pushed the door and broke in, saw the wolf cub in Hebai's arms, thought it was a dog, and teased: "Miss You likes this kind of puppy?" Another day, brother, shall I have a few to send over? β
Ming Lanying pulled Hebai to sit down, blocked half of Hebai's body, and glared at Ming Langtao, an old man who loves to mess with flowers and grass, "Thank you Sixth Cousin, but there is not so much food to feed at home, forget it, what did Sixth Cousin mean by what he said just now?" β
"Of course it's literal, Sister Lan Ying, you're going to be in trouble!"
Ming Langtao was glared at and didn't care, shaking the folding fan and smiling to tease the little wolf cub, after the spring, he took a folding fan and wandered around, and he walked around the area under his jurisdiction, and after checking many problems, he left Meng Huaisu alone to solve it, and he continued to attract bees and butterflies.
Ming Lanying squinted at him, this trouble was obviously not small, "Who is it?" β
"Prince Heng and Princess Heng."
Ming Lanying was stunned, "Ming Lishu? β
"Yes, the third sister is coming. Strange to say, as soon as the news of Ye Jielu's detention came, Prince Heng's convoy was inexplicably surrounded by a bunch of insects as soon as he arrived near Biansai, and all kinds of insects flying during the day interfered with their vision, and at night, those soft and hard, four-legged and eight-legged ones climbed onto their carriages and people, and the convoy was delayed for several days, and several guards were bitten to death. β
Ming Langtao smiled and teased the little wolf cub, but was bitten, the little wolf cub's teeth have not grown well, the bite is at most a mark, and he wiped his saliva casually, "But today those insects seem to have received some order, and the tide is like a brush and retreat, Prince Heng reorganized for a moment and hurriedly went on the road again, with their current speed, it will be there in less than half a month." β
Ming Lanying was a little surprised, "He's in such a hurry?" β
Ming Langtao shrugged, "Who knows? But the third sister is clearly coming at you this time, and before the person arrived, he had already sent a fast horse to inquire with me about your news, and I was fooled, but when the people arrived, I couldn't help it. β
"Okay, I see."
Ming Langtao still wanted to stay for a meal, but was directly pushed out by Ming Lanying and sent away. At lunchtime, Ning Er came back from Imperial Physician Zhao, and Ming Lanying told him with a serious face that he couldn't run around for the past two days.
"There will be a bad aunt coming in a few days, my mother is going to deal with her, you have to stay at Imperial Doctor Zhao's place, understand? Wait for your mother to pick you up. β
Ning Er nodded with tears in her eyes, she was only okay next door, he couldn't hold her mother back.
Ming Lanying also gave him the little wolf cub, and he could relieve his boredom with care, "Don't be afraid, Aunt Hebai will come over to see you every day, just wait for my mother to send away that bad aunt." β
"Hmm!" Ning'er hugged the little wolf cub and nodded vigorously.
The two little squirrels were left behind by the Ming Lan Warbler, making her eyeliner, going to the village entrance to stand guard and stare at the stranger. Sure enough, within two days of sending Ning Er away, there were people in official uniforms who rode horses in the village to inquire about her residence, and her little eyeliner was everywhere in the village, and Ming Lanying also knew that she would inquire about her for seven or eight days in a row.
Sure enough, in less than half a month, Ming Lishu came to the door in a high-profile manner, and Ming Lanying had already received the news of eyeliner, and sat neatly dressed in the yard drinking tea and feeding the chickens.
Ming Langtao guessed that the people had arrived in the past few days, and he had been waiting in the house that Meng Huaisu had purchased in the village, and as soon as he heard the news that Ming Lishu had arrived at the entrance of the village, he hurriedly ran over, for fear that Ming Lanying would be bullied, and when Ye Jielu came back, he would be stripped of a layer of skin.
"My aunt, how can you still have the leisure to feed the chickens here! They're all about to be killed! β
Ming Lanying held her chin and glanced at him lazily, "What's the hurry, where can I go?" She hasn't been able to eat me yet? β
"You haven't been able to play with her since you were a childβ"
"Yo, the sixth cousin is also here~ I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you talking about? The third sister also wants to hear about it. β
Ming Langtao paused, hurriedly raised a friendly smile, and shook the folding fan coquettishly, "The third sister has become more and more beautiful after not seeing her for a long time, how can my cousin say anything, just know the news of the third sister's arrival in advance, and inform Sister Lanying, lest she bump into your delicate and expensive identity without knowing the number of courtesies." β
Ming Lishu smiled and said, "It's still the sixth cousin's sweet mouth." β
Ming Lanying raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and almost blinded the dazzling colors and jewelry.
Ming Lishu is not tall, but she will be a little careful in dressing, this time she saw that Ming Lanying was riveting and energetic, covered with a camellia-colored dark fox fur cloak, jujube red high-waisted pleated skirt embroidered with gold silk with nine soaring patterns, shawls are red and gold yarn two-color superimposed flower cluster patterns, belts are soft gold silk inlaid with jade, not to mention hanging a small half circle of jingling jade sachets, wearing a full set of ruby heads.
Coupled with exquisite makeup, she is dressed up glamorously rich and compelling, proudly raising her chin, elegantly stretching her fair neck, her slightly squinted eye lines are stretched slender, and her red lipstick makes her soft and a little strong.
Ming Lanying looked at her face and felt that this sister who could take the lead among the Ming family's heirs was not simple, "Prince Heng and Princess Heng came to the cold house, and she was not welcomed. β
Ming Lishu raised her eyebrows and looked up and down, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you, Ming Lanying?" β
Ming Lanying has been messing with Ming Langtao for so long, and she has learned to smile and be beaten up, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how come the third sister doesn't recognize me as a sister-in-law after becoming the princess?" β
Ming Lishu tightened her face, staring viciously at Ming Lanying's beautiful and gorgeous face, and her delicate figure, "Impossible, you are not Ming Lanying, who are you!" β
Logic is dead, don't dwell on it
