After the banquet of the ministers in front of him ended, the emperor and Ye Jielu went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to whisper behind closed doors.

Ye Jielu reported to the emperor the progress of his pursuit of his wife, and the emperor patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "You can teach you, you finally feel a little sprouted." ”

Defu knocked lightly on the door, "Your Majesty, the queen mother invites you and Commander Ye to go to Changle Palace for dinner." ”

"Let's go, I didn't eat anything at the banquet just now, the small kitchen in your sister-in-law's womb is good, take you to taste."

"Yes."

The emperor changed out of his court clothes and went to Changle Palace with Ye Juelu, but when he entered the palace, he found that there was no palace to serve, only the palace maid beside the queen was there.

The emperor strode to the queen's side and sat down with her in his arms, "Zitong has been waiting for a long time, let's have dinner first, are you happy to chat with your younger siblings?" ”

The queen smiled and nodded, and shared with the emperor that she was familiar with Ming Lanying at first sight, and the emperor listened attentively and did not forget to make vegetables for her, and the two seemed to have an enchantment on their own, isolating the sight and existence of others.

Ming Lanying shook her head with a smile, taking care of Ning Er's meal, Ning Er was very sensible and focused on eating, Ye Juelu gently pinched Ming Lanying's other hand under the table, and shook it, as if she was coquettish.

Ming Lanying raised her eyes and glanced at him inexplicably, Ye Jielu's face was as usual, and her left hand was chopsticks, and her right hand scratched her palm lightly before letting go.

The feeling of feathers brushing in the palm of his hand, the tingling itch from the palm of his hand went down his arm, sneaking into his heart, Ming Lanying kicked him uncomfortably, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

The two couples who ate a meal were sticky and sweet, and Ning Er looked left and right, always feeling that she was a little redundant. Defu and the lady in charge of the palace frantically lowered their sense of existence, shrunk in a corner and covered their mouths and snickered, if the masters are good, they can also be good.

After the meal, the queen announced her pregnancy to the emperor, Ye Jielu looked at Ming Lanying in surprise as if she was asking for verification, Ming Lanying shrugged her shoulders and acquiesced, Ye Jielu raised a smile and was also happy for the emperor.

Then Ming Lanying watched the calm and dignified emperor, and after hearing the news, she was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up and was ecstatic, covering her mouth and walking around excitedly, stomping her feet for a while, jumping wildly for a while, and lying on the queen's stomach from time to time to feel it.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the queen."

"Oops! Congratulations, long live! The queen is overjoyed! ”

Defu was also stunned in surprise, and hurriedly came back to his senses to say goodbye, the emperor was in a good mood, and rewarded Ye Jielu and Defu with a year's worth of monthly silver.

The emperor patted Ye Jielu on the shoulder and laughed, "Lao Tzu is also going to have a child, hahahahahahaha!" ”

The queen made him happy for a while, and when he came back to his senses, she pressed him and told him about the follow-up secrecy arrangement.

The emperor clapped his hands, and hurriedly asked Defu to take a pen and paper, the first time he became a father, he was a little uncontrollable and excited, so that a bunch of people gathered around to write down everything that could be thought of and what could not be imagined, and wrote a small half of the book densely.

The queen was a little crying and laughing, "Your Majesty, is it too exaggerated?" ”

The emperor carefully adjusted the pillow behind her waist, "How come, everything is now your first, you can rest assured, those in the harem can't save the morning and dusk, I will order them to fight quickly and never disturb you......"

The emperor was not worried about it, the queen was only two months pregnant, and he had already asked Ye Jielu to collect seven or eight of the best stable women in the city first, and secretly brought them into the Changle Palace, and went to a cronie in the Tai Hospital, and issued a holy decree to let nine people revolve around the queen, and accidentally concealed the front and harem.

On the way back, Ning Er asked Ming Lanying, "Mother, does the queen's aunt have a baby in her belly?" ”

"That's right! That's why your emperor uncle is so happy. Ming Lanying lightly nodded his little nose, "But this matter can't be known to others, otherwise your queen aunt will be in danger, so does Ning'er know what to do?" ”

Ning Er nodded, "The secret is going to rot in the stomach, Ning Er went to the palace today to accompany her mother and the queen's aunt to have a New Year's dinner, and she didn't know anything." ”

Ming Lanying rubbed his little head with satisfaction, "Ning'er is so smart, she deserves to be her mother's big baby!" ”

Ning Er hugged her arm and coquettishly, "Can the mother reward Ning Er with a younger sister?" Aunt Hebai said that if Ning'er had a sister, she would definitely be the cutest in the world! ”

Ming Lanying was dumbfounded, and Ye Jielu held Ning'er's little face with one hand, "When your mother is in a good mood, I will make you a sister." ”

Ning'er opened her eyes wide, and said innocently: "Then daddy, hurry up and coax your mother, let your mother be happy every day, and when your mother is in a good mood, Ning'er will have a sister!" ”

Ye Juelu chuckled, and there was one more reason to share the bed with the lady, "Okay." ”

Ming Lanying snorted, "Are you born?" ”

Ye Juelu immediately said: "It doesn't have to be born, it's enough to have Ning'er." ”

Ning Er looked at Ye Jielu and blinked her eyes, and obediently didn't shout that she must be a sister.

After Ye Jielu's arm was injured, he didn't need to go to the smear assassination operation every night, and Taiyi received an order from him, and when the night was dark and the wind was high, he took a large group of people to act quietly in the dark.

There are few people in the capital every day, and today the next-door neighbor's family disappeared, and Renyazi immediately came to collect the house, saying that the family rushed back to their hometown overnight to visit relatives.

The owner of the ration and oil store in Tomorrow Alley is gone, and a young man with a raw face immediately jumped out and said that the shopkeeper's ancestral grave was dug out and made a windfall, and the shop was resold.

After two days, there were a few fewer roadside stalls, and someone gave a reasonable explanation in time, so no one noticed these abnormalities.

This year is another year of Ruixue Mega, which means that the coming year will be a good year.

On the second day of the new year, Tang Ning came to the Commander's Mansion with a large bag of small bags in the spring, but instead of going to the gate, he sneakily walked through the side door, for fear of being discovered.

As soon as I entered the backyard reception room, I shook off the snow, and complained to Ming Lanying after worshipping: "This year, I found that there was no one in the Commander's Mansion, and I was so scared that I almost didn't dare to come over, for fear that the sharp-eyed people would find out that we were secretly colluding!" ”

Ming Lanying funnily poured them two cups of tea, "Fortunately, you are clever and have not been discovered." ”

Tang Ning smiled, "You can't delay me from eating the food you cooked!" ”

Feng Chun also smiled and quipped, "Every time the master eats outside, he can always mention Mrs. Ye, and he keeps talking about Mrs. Ye's craftsmanship, and he can't be greedy, so he can only rely on Hai Dongqing to send a message to alleviate the pain of lovesickness." ”

Ming Lanying couldn't cry or laugh, and Tang Ning snorted proudly, "You dare to say that you don't want to?" As long as you have eaten Lanying's craftsmanship, no one will miss it for a lifetime! ”

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Ye's craftsmanship is unique in the world."

Tang Ning suddenly thought of a strange thing, frowned slightly, and said eagerly: "We passed by Biansai on our business trip, but we didn't pass by the prefect, so we didn't pass by your house, but we stopped at a big restaurant with a very prosperous business on the way, and there were many of us in the group, so we ordered several signboards in the store, guess what?" The restaurant's signature dish tastes just as good as what you make! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Did you pass by that big restaurant?" Coincidentally, the shopkeeper of this restaurant has a cooperation with me, and I sell one or two dishes to him every two or three months. ”

Tang Ning was stunned, and couldn't help but smile and patted her on the shoulder, "It's worthy of Lan Ying, I should have thought that you are the only one in this world who can make this unique taste." ”

Feng Chun was also pleasantly surprised, "In this way, we still ate Mrs. Ye's craftsmanship outside!" ”

Ming Lanying smiled and didn't deny it, and asked how the big restaurant was, Feng Chun smiled, "Mrs. Tuo Ye's blessing, business is booming every day, people from several neighboring towns will go to the tooth sacrifice, and the big restaurant seems to be preparing a wide store." ”

"That's good, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is kind, he had the grace of knowing me at the beginning, and now he can have this situation, and he is also outstanding."

Tang Ning blinked, "So you're actually doing quite well in Biansai?" If you sell it to him in two or three months, you can't get a sky-high price in the border area, but with your skill, you can also have two or three hundred taels of silver, and one recipe is enough for your family to build a new house and wear new clothes. ”

Ming Lanying nodded her forehead coquettishly, "How can it be so exaggerated." ”

Ming Lanying shot very lightly, Tang Ning didn't move, and said with a smile: "Others are guilty of going to the barren and bitter cold Biansai, just you have been to live a free life, I don't know if other people will be angry and half dead if they know?" ”

Feng Chun said with a smile: "I don't know if others are angry or not, but the master will be happy to see his teeth and eyes!" ”

Speaking of the days of Biansai, Ming Lanying is especially missing now, the capital is cumbersome and boring, far less free than Biansai, since knowing that Ye Jielu has an active secret force in Biansai, Ming Lanying's danger index to Biansai has dropped a lot.

Now Ye Jielu has enough secret forces to use in Biansai, the prefect is still their own people on their side, and there are famous doctors as neighbors, plus Hebai and wolf cubs, their family can completely walk sideways in Biansai!

Thinking like this, Ming Lanying looked forward to returning to the side.

Tang Ning and the two played in the Commander's Mansion for a day, and found the subtle changes between the husband and wife, as well as Ye Jielu becoming more virtuous, and Ming Lanying followed him to help in the kitchen.

Tang Ning looked at Ye Juelu, who was still silent, sighed twice, exchanged with Fengchun in a low voice twice, and then joined Hebai, and the three of them muttered together, and finally came to the conclusion that both of them fell in love!

Tang Ning was also happy for the two, so he drank two more jars with Hebai, and after drinking, the two of them raised their glasses and touched one at the same time, and shouted, "I wish Commander Ye and Lan Ying a good union for a hundred years!" ”

"I wish my brother and sister-in-law a long time!"

Ming Lanying and Ye Jielu touched a cup, "In the new year, please advise me, Xianggong." ”

She originally thought that she would make peace with Ye Jielu after this period of time, she had saved enough funds to be independent, but now it seems that she can stay for a while and fall in love for a while.

Ye Jielu was numb by this voice, and his heart was hot, Ming Lanying would only call him a face-saving man on an outside occasion, although it was also pleasant to the ear, but it was far less than the sound that made his heart hot just now.

"Okay."

This year is also a full and busy but rich year, the first nine Xiaosan wind and dust servants came back from the side, Ming Lanying was distressed for a while, let it rest for a few days.

She carefully pondered the reply letter written by Dong Xia, the last ten days have passed, Dong Xia has cheered up, and learned the spirit of open-mindedness and fearlessness from Ming Lanying, because Imperial Doctor Zhao took Gao De's cruelty to Ming Lanying as a case to mention Dong Xia.

Dongxia cried for another day, I don't know if I cried for myself or Minglanying, or both.

Ming Lanying didn't mind, even if she was on the scene, she would enlighten Dong Xia about her own affairs, Gao De was dead, and the people who bullied her paid the price, and it was not a forbidden word that could not be mentioned in her.

Ming Langtao also got Ye Jielu's instructions, wiped out all the hooligans who had bullied her, and threw them in the mountains and forests to feed the beasts, Meng Huaisu told Dong Xia about it, Dong Xia pinched the letter written by Ming Lanying to her, and after being silent for a long time, she also regained her strength, and her soft temperament also changed a little.

“…… Sister-in-law, you are right, those who bullied me will be returned a hundred times, they have been retributed, the matter has not reached the point of seriousness, I am just frightened, I have been relieved, there is good news to tell you, I am married! It's Meng Huaisu—"

When Ming Lanying read this, she suddenly stopped, Meng Huaisu! How is he?!

The mood was a little complicated for a while, the original Ming Lanying liked Meng Huaisu, but Meng Huaisu clearly didn't like her, and then it seemed that Meng Huaisu liked her now, but she didn't like Meng Huaisu.

Although this matter was not explicitly stated, she was not blind, Ye Jielu and Hebai could see it at that time, and it was not clear whether Dong Xia knew it or not, but she also clearly rejected Meng Huaisu.

There is nothing to do with each other, but this incident has happened, and it is a bit of a diaphragm for her, and if she is winter and summer, she will respond to it, and she always feels uneasy.

Now Meng Huaisu and Dong Xia are married! What a bad fate! What Ming Lanying is afraid of is that Meng Huaisu is profitable for winter and summer.

The letter written by Dong Xia was very thick, and Ming Lanying unfolded the letter and continued to read it.

“…… Sister-in-law, don't worry, I am very sober and aware of my feelings, although it is a bit of a life-saving feeling, but this only accounts for a small part, mainly ...... He's actually a good person, but he talks a little less. The prefect said that he used to like you, but I didn't mind, because I knew that my sister-in-law was the most dazzling person in the world, and no one would dislike you! ”

"I really don't mind, because I also like my sister-in-law, although he is cold to everyone, but he saved me and gave me a chance to live again, I feel that I should repay him, if it weren't for him I probably wouldn't have been able to write this letter to you...... In fact, he is also very good-looking, he was white and clean before he came to Biansai, and now it seems to be a little dark, but it looks good when it is black. ”

"After you and Brother Ye left, the prefect often sent him to take care of me and my grandfather in the village, because she lived in the village and was close, and he occasionally repaired the fence and fence at home, repaired the sheepfold and so on, and he did it himself......"

"It's a bit embarrassing to say, before I locked myself in the house and didn't see anyone, I once wanted to die, my grandfather turned white sideburns for me, it was he who told my grandfather that he could marry me, because he saved me in rags...... Grandfather was also quite satisfied with him, because our current identity was indeed that I had climbed him, so this family affair was settled. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just settled first, grandfather let me get there in name first, it's okay to retreat later, it's okay, if it's discovered, it can also block the mouths of the people, I want to wait for you to come back, and then confirm this matter, hey, I'll talk nonsense, sister-in-law, just take a look at it, wait for you to come back."

Ming Lanying breathed a long sigh of relief, stared at the thick letter paper with her head propped up, and muttered, "Dongxia, Dongxia, what kind of fate does this have...... Meng Huaisu, you have to check Meng Huaisu, if he is sincere, if he is not well-intentioned......"
