Chapter 34: Face the Saint
Ye Jielu got up early in the morning to go to her room to see her, and heard the next person say that she got up early, so she went to the study to look for someone.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Ming Lanying covering her head in the study in a daze, thinking it was a headache, so she hurriedly stepped forward to check, "Does your head still hurt?" β
Ming Lanying was stunned when she heard the voice, "No, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, you don't have to come!" β
Ye Juelu raised his eyebrows, Ming Lanying's action of not letting him get close was too obvious, his crimson face and panicked dodging eyes, it seemed that he had woken up and remembered what happened yesterday.
Ye Jielu took two more steps towards her, stopped in front of the bookcase and leaned over slightly, looking at her without blinking through the bookcase, as if admiring her shyness, "What's wrong with the lady?" Yesterday, she also said that she would give birth to a daughter with her husband and be a goddaughter to Miss Tang. β
"Ye Juelu! I'm not stupid. β
Ming Lanying glared, she was drunk and her memory was a little confused, but she didn't have amnesia. I haven't seen Ye Jielu for a few months, how can he seem to be a different person, he can say any fleshy nonsense, and he still smiles so good-looking at every turn, and he was cold and silent before! Don't smile!
Ye Jielu actually doesn't like to laugh, because of his growth, he also takes on the duty of guarding the emperor, and before he met the current Ming Lanying, there was never a relaxed or joyful expression on his face.
But since admitting that I like Ming Lanying, I can't help but smile in my eyes, as long as I see her radiant appearance, there is a kind of joy from the heart, the blood flowing in the meridians is boiling, the atrium beats more powerfully, and the qi warmer than the internal force fills the whole body.
Ming Lanying looked at his springy face and became angry, "What are you looking for me?" β
"I will take you to see the emperor in two days, and I want to tell you about the holy rites." When Ye Jielu got up, he caught a glimpse of paper ashes floating in the pen wash next to the bookcase, Ming Lanying has never had the habit of burning manuscript paper when he looks at the account book, there must be something unsightly in it, Ye Jielu ordered a pen wash, "What did you burn?" β
Ye Jielu is the emperor's person, he can only be good if the emperor is good, she and Ning'er can be good if he is good, they should be regarded as people in the same boat. Ming Lanying wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, anyway, compared to the emperor and the Ming family, she didn't want the Ming family to be good.
"The letter sent by Dongxia and Ming Langtao happens to have three things to tell you, first, do you know Ming Jiazhen? Ming Langtao told me to watch out for her. β
"Ming Jiazhen?" Ye Jielu pondered for a moment, "I don't have an impression, but you can ask Hebai, she should have heard of her running all over the capital in the past two days." β
Ming Lanying nodded, "I'll catch her later, I'll ask later, the second thing, it is now rumored that the golden eagle has won the world, and it was originally from the border between the two countries, Zhao Lao suspected that there was something strange, Prince Heng was still catching the golden eagle in the side. β
"If nothing else, Prince Heng's capture of the golden eagle should also be related to this rumor, the golden eagle should now be targeted by many people, and they all want this world."
Ming Lanying rolled her eyes, "You believe it?" Wouldn't I have gotten this world a long time ago? β
The Golden Eagle King still talked to her every day about dominating the world, but now it has become an excuse for dominating the world.
Ye Jielu shook his head and smiled, Ming Lanying has a unique ability in the world, if it was really the one who won the golden eagle to win the world, then she would have coerced the golden eagle and ordered the princes.
"Of course I don't believe it, someone must have a different heart, and I will tell the emperor."
"There is a third thing, the Ming family and Prince Heng have been secretly colluding together for a long time, before Ming Lishu became Prince Heng's princess."
Ye Jielu's face sank, they guessed that something was wrong with the Ming family, the old thief of the Ming Dynasty and the old ministers of the three dynasties, and he still dominated the position of the prime minister and refused to let go, and he was still forming a gang in the court when he was old, but he didn't expect to collude with Prince Heng earlier than they imagined.
"Come with me into the palace to see the emperor today, and I have to talk about this matter as soon as possible."
"Now?"
Ye Juelu nodded, and Ming Lanying glanced at the sky, "But today Ah Ning wants to take me out to play." β
"I'll go back tomorrow."
As soon as Ye Jielu's words fell, the voice of the wolf cub came from outside the door, "Master, Miss Tang is here to play with you!" β
After the wolf cub woke up, he saw that Ming Lan Ying had not come to pick it up, so he sneaked out by himself, and he didn't bump into anyone else along the way, so he ran unscrupulously, smelling the smell of Tang Ning in the front hall, so he hurriedly looked for the smell of Ming Lan Ying and came to pass the message.
Ming Lanying understood that the stakes were high, and she didn't shirk it, "Ah Ning is here, I'll go and tell her, you go and prepare the carriage, I'll change my clothes and come." β
As soon as Ming Lanying came out of the study, she rubbed a circle of wolf cubs, let it take a good look at Ning Er today, and hurriedly went to the front hall to apologize to Tang Ning, and promised Tang Ning that she would personally cook and invite her to dinner tomorrow, Tang Ning didn't mind being missed at all, but was curious about her craftsmanship.
Sending Tang Ning away, Ming Lanying hurriedly went back to the backyard to change clothes, Ning Er also just woke up, Ming Lanying rubbed his confused little face, "Ning Er, my father and mother went to the palace to see the emperor, don't run around in the house, I saw Aunt Hebai come back and asked her to wait for me at home, my mother asked someone to take care of you, and the cub will be put in the house first today." β
Ning'er nodded and hugged Ming Lanying, "Ning'er will be obedient, Daddy will come back early." β
There are not many people in the house, but they are all carefully selected by Ye Juelu, Ming Lanying is also relieved, the adaptation in the past few days has also made Ning Er familiar with the environment in the house, and Ming Lanying dares to let his subordinates take care of him with confidence.
Seeing that the emperor had to be upright no matter what he said, Ming Lanying rarely changed into a serious and dignified dress, put on light makeup, looked indifferent, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her unsmiling appearance suddenly had a different taste, and she was different, which made Ye Jielu's eyes shine.
"The lady is also very good-looking."
Like a proud and cold spirit bird, but also like the breeze and moon in the sky, people can't catch it, so he just wants to tear off her tightly fitting clothes with his own hands, drag her down from the high platform, and let her show her drunken eyebrows and eyes, with a shy face.
Ming Lanying was stunned, she was waiting for the momentum of the negotiation in her previous life, and her friends said that she was in such a state that she was incapable of, like an inoffensive judge, who could cure children crying at night.
Ye Jielu thought she was good-looking, staring at her eyes made people panic, her waist was a little weak, and she took half a step back in fear.
Ming Lanying cleared her throat and climbed into the carriage avoiding his gaze, "Let's go, come back early." β
"Okay." Ye Jielu personally drove the carriage and instructed Ming Lanying: "Lady, remember not to look up at the emperor later." β
"I know, and don't call me a lady." Ming Lanying covered her heart and forcibly held down the deer beating in her heart, since she arrived in the capital, Ye Jielu has been calling her a lady, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Jielu was silent for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "How should I call it?" β
Ming Lanying just wanted to say how to call it before, but when she opened her mouth, she suddenly found that Ye Jielu before was directly you, you called her, Ye Jielu also thought of it, pursed her mouth and smiled without saying anything, waiting for her to speak.
ββ¦β¦ You can call it however you like. β
"Yes, lady."
The two words were lingering and ambiguous when he said them, and Ming Lanying rubbed her ears and pouted, ignoring the throbbing in her heart.
"Isn't there a coachman in the house? Why are you in a car? β
Ye Jielu nodded lightly, "I don't want the lady's beauty to be seen by others, it's an honor for my husband to be able to drive for the lady." β
Ming Lanying in the carriage was silent, and Ye Jielu wrote down this sentence with satisfaction, this is the rhetoric he learned from others in the Qinglou painting boat when he helped the emperor investigate, which was unexpectedly useful.
Ming Lanying was silent, she suspected that Ye Jielu had also been taken away, or had taken the wrong medicine, which had nothing to do with the indifferent and taΓ―ve character she had when she first met him.
"Ye Jielu, how did you say such things that don't match you?"
"......" Ye Jielu silently crossed out this sentence, "I see that my colleagues often say that I think you women love to listen." β
Ming Lanying was speechless and held her forehead, "...... That's good, don't say it later, it's not for you. β
Ye Juelu: "......"
Ye Jielu had the emperor's special needs, and he could put the carriage into the palace, but he could only park at the outermost periphery, and the rest of Ruth had to walk in. Ming Lanying kept her face strained all the way, and followed Ye Jielu without changing her face, and the corner of her eyes kept looking at the golden and brilliant palace walls, this was the first time she had seen the palace so closely, and she was still a little excited in her heart.
Father-in-law Defu received the news from the guards guarding the door, and came out to greet him, and was stunned when he saw the people around Ye Jielu, "This is Mrs. Ye Commander, Mrs. is really captivating the country and the city, the slave Defu, please say goodbye to Mrs. β
Ming Lanying was slightly short, "Father-in-law is polite." β
She can only do her best to meet the standard of etiquette that she temporarily makes, and she doesn't know if it's beautiful or not.
Defu led the way in front with a smile, praising Lan Ying's beauty all the way, and he didn't forget to bring a sentence with a good eye.
"The father-in-law praised it falsely, and the courtiers didn't dare to be it."
Defu looked at her with a smile, "Madame is good-looking, naturally she deserves it, I can't hide it, the emperor has always been very curious about Madame, I think I must be more amazing than a slave after seeing it today." β
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ye Juelu, she didn't think it was a good thing to be curious by the emperor, there were only two things she could make the emperor curious, one was her appearance, and the other was that she would look at the account book, I don't know which one Ye Juelu made the emperor curious.
Defu took them all the way to the imperial study, knocked on the door, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Commander Ye is here with his wife." β
"Come in."
Stepping into the hall, Ming Lanying lowered her eyebrows and looked at the floor, and knelt down to salute with Ye Juelu's movements.
"The ministers bring their inner sons, see the emperor."
"Courtiers see the emperor."
The Emperor looked at the two of them with interest, "Get up." β
"Your Majesty."
Ye Jielu secretly pulled Ming Lanying to get up, and in front of the emperor, he straightened the hem of her clothes for her, deliberately.
The emperor snorted coldly, "You are Ming Lanying?" β
"Back to the emperor, it is the courtier."
"How is it different?" The emperor glanced at Defu, and Defu whispered in his ear, "Ye Jielu, you are so bold that you dare to steal beams and change pillars!" Ming Lanying is clearly a fat man of more than 200 pounds! β
Defu lowered his eyebrows and looked at Hou Li, he didn't say this, obviously the emperor wanted to make a fuss.
Although the emperor mentioned her black history, no matter how she said it, Long Yan was furious, Ming Lanying subconsciously wanted to kneel down to give face, and was supported by Ye Jielu's arm, "Back to the emperor, excessive obesity also makes Neiko miserable, Neiko also really loves the minister, wants to stay with the minister, and works hard to lose weight for the sake of the minister." β
Ming Lanlan's silence seemed to the emperor to be acquiescing, and the emperor was shown by him again, looking at him with a calm face, "Raise your head." β
This was definitely not said to Ye Juelu, Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were respectfully stuck on the side of the bookcase that had crossed the gold layer.
The emperor saw her appearance clearly, his eyes were stunned, and he was glared at by Ye Jielu's warning, and Defu hurriedly pushed the surprised and stunned emperor.
"Ahem...... What Ye Jielu said was indeed right, he was reborn and surprised me. β
Ming Lan Ying: "? β
What did Ye Juelu say to the emperor? Forget it, she endures it and gives him enough face outside.
Ye Juelu bowed slightly, "Emperor Xie, return to the emperor, the minister has come to report at this time." β
"Speak."
Ye Jielu looked at the emperor's gaze, "Your Majesty, the border is suddenly rumored to win the golden eagle in the world, as far as the minister knows, the rumor has spread to Yongzhou City, Prince Heng and some of his family have been staying in the border to catch the golden eagle." β
"Golden eagle? I heard that the emperor's uncle is seriously ill and needs the blood of the golden eagle into medicine, and the bones of the golden eagle are the guide, but it has something to do with the emperor's uncle? β
"The minister doesn't dare to speculate at will, but eight or nine is not far from ten." Ye Jielu glanced at Ming Lanying, who was pretending to be stupid beside him, "There is another thing, the Ming family and Prince Heng have been secretly colluding for many years before the two families became in-laws, and the minister's dereliction of duty has never been discovered, please forgive the emperor, and the minister has ordered someone to investigate." β
Ming Lanying only heard the emperor be silent for a long time, and then there was a dull bang from the bookcase, Ye Jielu stood there motionless, and Ming Lanying also leaned over slightly.
The emperor's casual voice suddenly changed tone, "The Ming family, and the emperor's uncle, are very good." β
"Ming Lan Ying, do you have anything to say?"
Ming Lanying scolded in her heart and knew that it was no good thing, and replied with a respectful face, "The courtiers are already a public person, and they have nothing to do with the Ming family." β
The Emperor snorted softly, "Then if I want to punish your grandfather, you don't plan to intercede?" β
"It has nothing to do with courtiers."
Ming Lanying didn't believe that the emperor didn't know that the Ming family and Prince Heng were colluding, it was just a matter of time before the collusion, the emperor would have to deal with the Ming family sooner or later, just wanted to see her attitude, and decided whether to dispose of her by the way.
She wished that the Ming family would fall quickly, and there would be a glorious day for the Ming family, and her future would not be stable, the grandfather of the original owner, Lord Ming, was not a good person, otherwise he would not have supported the huge Ming family until now.
"Ye Jielu, your lady is very hard-hearted."
The emperor suddenly joked, and his attitude changed a little quickly, so that Ming Lanying didn't react for a while, and Ye Jielu had already replied.
"Emperor Xie praises the minister's wife, it is enough to be soft on the minister alone."
"Tsk!" The emperor leaned lazily on the back of the chair and glared at Ye Jielu dissatisfiedly, "I heard that your lady has learned a good skill of taking care of accounts in Biansai. β
"Don't hide it from the emperor, there is indeed such a thing." Ye Juelu grinned, "The minister's lady is a good general who can't even be asked for by the prefect." β
"Tell me about it." The emperor had only heard of the accounts of the female housekeeper, but had never heard of the accounts of the Inspector's Mansion where women would show up.
Ye Jielu began to show off his wife, starting from helping the shopkeeper Li check the accounts, to Ming Langtao begging her to check the bad accounts, the words were the most Ming Lanying had ever heard him say at one time. Ming Lanying didn't have the ears to listen to it, but the emperor listened to it with relish, endured it and endured it, and emphasized that he didn't want to lose his honor in front of the palace.
Not today, it's a little short, next time it will be long (*)
