The two of them did not go back to the palace for dinner, nor did they let Tang Da and Wang Hanfeng follow them.

Instead, they went hand in hand to find a humble stall to eat dumplings.

The stall owner was an old couple, they didn't know Gongsun Baili or Ye Qing.

It never occurred to them that they were the emperor and queen.

But the astonishing looks of the two of them are really the most beautiful scenery in the whole street.

This is an ordinary old street, and the people who live here are very ordinary civilians.

The two have restrained their aura as much as possible, but temperament is really something that cannot be hidden. In the sea of ​​people, the two of them are the most dazzling stars.

A bold young man looked at Ye Qing with burning eyes, hoping that this beautiful girl would look at them more.

However, before the girl's winking eyes came, he felt that the surrounding air was quite a bit colder.

The man beside her, who was as cold as a glacier on the top of a snow-capped mountain, just glanced at them lightly, and was trembling with fright.

There was also a bold girl who stared at Gongsun Baili shyly while wanting to speak. Whose son is this? He came here to eat dumplings. Is this to experience life?

I am even more envious and jealous of Ye Qing, I really hope that they are the ones sitting next to Mr. Ruyi.

Ye Qing looked at Gongsun Baili who was exuding air-conditioning and trying to shock those men with a funny face: "Are you jealous?"

Gongsun Baili said viciously: "Their eyes are all on your body, I can't wait to dig them all out."

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows: "The eyes of those girls are also growing on your body, should I gouge out their eyes?"

Gongsun Baili: "Yes!"

"You are really violent and bloody!"

"As long as you are happy!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Because I listen to you."

"... "

After the meal, Ye Qing was held by Gongsun Baili and walked on the busy street.

There is no curfew in Beijing, so it is very lively.

The two of them walked side by side like an old couple among the endless crowd, blowing the night wind of the capital, and unconsciously felt a sense of tranquility in the bottom of their hearts.

"Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the people, for us, everything is worth it. I hope there will be peace in the world, no more tears, and everyone will live a stable life." She said softly.

Gongsun Baili's eyebrows and eyes were all about her, and he said: "All this is due to you, thank you! Knowing you is the greatest blessing in my life."

Ye Qing looked at him seriously: "Gongsun Baili, I hope that during your reign, you will think of the common people in everything. Do you know that there is a policy above, and the common people below may have to pay for it. You are not here I have lived at the bottom, and I don't know how hard the lives of ordinary people are. They are struggling at the bottom of society.

What's more, I really don't want any more wars. The people who suffer the most from wars are civilians.

Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, we must strengthen the military, do a good job in the economy, and let everyone live a stable life. "

Gongsun Baili said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will not be a tyrant. If there is a day, you can replace me."

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows: "Are you asking me to kill the king?"

"Why not, you can become the first empress in history."

Ye Qing said: "You said this, don't regret it then."

Gongsun Baili nodded: "I will never regret it!"

Ye Qing thought for a while: "But what if I can't beat you?"

Gongsun Baili glanced at her with a smile: "I'll give you the soldier talisman!"

Ye Qingruo thought thoughtfully: "What if your subordinates are not convinced?"

Gongsun Baili: "I've given you all of my wealth, so what are you afraid of? Just let no one kill them."

Qi Sheng and others: Is this going to sell us?

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason to refute.

Gongsun Baili said with emotion: "Without you, I would not be where I am today. Now that things have happened, I really want to ask you, what made you decide to follow me in the first place? Are you not afraid of my failure? This is killing me." mortal sin of the head."

Ye Qingdao: "I just think that you, a national hero, should not have to suffer like this. As for whether you will succeed or not, how will you know if you don't try it? Maybe it's just destiny."

Gongsun Baili looked at the road, then at her, and said with a twitch of his lips: "My empress, thank you."

Ye Qing pursed his lips, and said in a tone: "I'm not married yet, did the empress call too early?"

"Sooner or later you will be mine!"

"I regret it, I don't want to marry you!"

"Don't even think about it."

It's not that Ye Qing is hypocritical, it's a premarital phobia, especially in this ancient times, it seems that there is no sense of security.

The two continued to walk forward, and Ye Qing noticed Gongsun Baili's thoughtful look, so he couldn't help asking him, "What are you thinking about?"

Gongsun Baili said: "I was thinking, when I was in the northwest, why didn't I think of going to find you?"

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you want to fight?"

Gongsun Baili: "If I had known you earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so many years!"

Ye Qing was dumbfounded: "What are you delaying?"

Gongsun Baili suddenly lowered his head, and whispered in her ear: "I missed so many beautiful days, remember to make it up to me later."

His voice was low and magnetic, which made her little ears itch.

She looked at other places, but she didn't dare to look into Gongsun Baili's eyes: "You think beautifully."

Gongsun Baili smiled badly: "You can't escape my palm!"

That night, the two had been tired for a long time before parting ways.

The flowers of Tang Da and others all withered, and the young master of their family Shanshan came back.

After a long night, dawn finally came, and the warm sun penetrated through the clouds, casting a piece of soft light on the earth to its heart's content.

The general's mansion had already been cleaned by the servants who got up early.

The breeze blows slowly, and a fresh fragrance of flowers hits the nostrils, refreshing.

In the backyard, Ye Qing and Ye Jin are doing morning exercises with a few little ones.

"Sister, am I right?" Doudou felt that she hadn't adjusted her posture properly, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Ye Qing walked over to point him: "This is how you hold a sword with your hand, you have to use force with your hand and keep your waist straight."

"Sister, I want to learn archery!" Ye Zhi said.

Ye Qing frowned: "Why?"

Ye Zhi: "I'm going to join the military camp in the future, and I want to be a general, so that my sister doesn't have to go to the battlefield."

Ye Qing: "To become a general, you first have to start from a small soldier. Whether you can become a general depends on your talent and ability, and being a soldier is very hard. Whether you survive or not is one thing."

Ye Zhi said firmly: "No matter how hard it is, I can bear it."

Zhou Yu'er: "Didn't you say you wanted to be the number one scholar? Why did you suddenly change to be a general?"

When Zhou Yu'er said this, everyone's eyes were on him.

Ye Zhi: "Being a general won't let my sister suffer. My sister can stay in the capital with peace of mind. Being the number one scholar and a civil servant can't help my sister!"

Ye Qing: "Your statement is wrong. Whether it is a civil servant or a general, they are all ministers of the imperial court. They are brave and strategic. They will win thousands of miles away, secure the country and help the people..."

"I want it too, I want it too." Zhuang Zhuang said suddenly.

The originally sensational scene was abruptly destroyed by Zhuang Zhuang.

"General, general, the emperor has hired you, and the master wants you to go there quickly."

At this moment, an excited and anxious voice came over!

Ye Qingxiu frowned: "Who did you say is here?"

The servant still said excitedly: "The emperor sent someone to hire people, and the long line will be endless."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ye Qing really didn't believe it.

"It's absolutely true, the emperor sent someone to deliver the dowry! Go over quickly, the master is waiting for you in the front hall!"

The face of the boy who came to report was full of joy and excitement.

Zhuang Zhuang asked ignorantly, "Is aunt getting married?"

Ye Zhi held him in his arms and explained earnestly: "There are six rituals in getting married, namely Na Cai, Asking Names, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Asking Date, and Personal Welcome. Among them, Na Zheng means that the man's house will be sent to the woman's house. , also known as Nabi, Dapin, Guodali, there is still some time before my sister gets married."

Zhuang Zhuang didn't understand at all, but he understood what Doudou said: "The next job is a lot of money!"

Zhuang Zhuang struggled from Ye Zhi's arms, took Ye Qing's hand and walked desperately to the front yard: "Auntie, hurry up, if you go late, you will have no money!"

Ye Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Zhuang Zhuang, when did you become a little money fan?"

Outside the general's mansion, there were huge crowds of people, all of whom came to watch the excitement. The gift-giving team was so spectacular that it attracted them all.

When Ye Qing came to the front hall, the betrothal gifts had already piled up into a mountain.

The eunuchs and maids kept moving those things into the yard, while the Minister of Rites held a big red book and sang: "Ten Pearls of the East China Sea!"

"Have!"

A subordinate confirmed.

"Five Emerald Jade and Coral—"

"Have!"

"Emerald Flowing Cloud Hairpin, Purple Jade Glass Hairpin..."

"Have!"

……

Seeing Ye Qing, Ye Haihe waved to her: "Big girl, come!"

Ye Qing walked over with a few children, and everyone listened carefully.

Zhuang Zhuang made a "wah-wah" sound from time to time.

Ji Yun looked at him amusedly: "Do you understand? Do you know what he reported?"

Zhuang Zhuang: "Of course I understand, these can buy a lot of money."

Ye Haihe and his wife sat on the chairs beside them, listening to the announcement from the Minister of Rites, the more they listened, the more frightened they became.

I've read it for a long time, and looking at the betrothal gifts that I didn't read, they are still piled up like a mountain. This is simply a waste of money.

I wonder if the emperor has moved all the things in the treasury to the general's mansion.

Ye Qing was a little shocked.

With such a large amount of money and the same idea, shouldn't it evacuate the national treasury?
In case he really moved the treasury here, will she spit it out when she asks for money?
At first, I thought it was a lot, that is to say, but I didn't expect that he actually prepared such a generous betrothal gift.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help touching her nose in surprise, feeling a little warm in her heart.

After a long time, the things were finally counted.

"General Ye, the dowry has been counted."

Master Lu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Ye Qing with a smile, his old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Ye Haihe finally came back to his senses, and smiled: "Big girl, let's see how to deal with these things."

"General Ye, here is the list of betrothal gifts, please have a look."

Lord Lu closed the big red book in his hand and handed it over to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing took it, opened it, glanced casually, then closed it, and handed it to Ye Haihe.

Smiling to Master Lu, he said, "Master Lu has worked hard, and I have a gift to give him too."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of thick paper from the box Zhou Yu'er was carrying and handed it to Master Lu: "Please give this to him for me."

Master Lu took it very cautiously, and said with a smile: "General Ye, please rest assured, I will definitely present the general's return gift to the emperor."

Ye Qing nodded with a smile: "Thank you!"

Master Lu couldn't wait to return to the palace after the betrothal ceremony was over.

"My lord, what should I do with these things? I really didn't expect the emperor to..."

Ye Haihe and his wife stared blankly at the box after box of betrothal gifts. It was the first time they had seen such a luxurious betrothal gift. With so many valuable things, could they buy the entire Qingfeng Town?

"Let's leave these to the parents. After finishing them, I will leave them to Yu'er and the others. Besides, Yu'er's happy life is coming soon. Her dowry will come from here."

Zhou Yu'er didn't expect that the topic would come to her all of a sudden, her face blushed, and she stomped her feet: "My sister hates you, you are too bad, I will ignore you."

After finishing speaking, he covered his face and ran away!
Made everyone laugh.

There was joy in Ye Haihe's eyes. After all, his son-in-law thought highly of his daughter so much, so of course he was happy as a father.

But when he thought that his daughter was about to get married, he felt very melancholy and lost.

In the end, they all sighed together: "It's so fast, in a blink of an eye, you will be out of the court, father is very happy in his heart."

"Big girl, don't worry. Being able to marry the emperor is also your blessing, and father also sees the emperor's wishes. Although he doesn't talk much and has a cold temper, father believes that he will treat you well." .”

Ye Qing: "Father, don't worry, he treats me well, and I will treat him sincerely. If he fails me, at worst, leave him."

Liu Shi pretended to be angry and said: "What unlucky words did you girl say?"

"When you enter the palace, it's as deep as the sea. After entering the palace, you must protect yourself. You and the emperor must trust each other. Don't listen to others saying that wind is rain. This is the capital, not our Shihe Village."

"knew."

...

August [-]th, Yin time just passed.

Ye Qing, who was sleeping soundly, was gently patted awake by a pair of gentle hands.

"Da Ya, it's time to get up." Liu Shi whispered in her ear.

"Huh?" Ye Qing opened his eyes in a daze.

Ji Yun came to the bed with a brand-new set of Fengguanxiapei, and the eye-catching red light caught Ye Qing's eyes.

Ye Qing was taken aback.

Ji Yun said with a smile: "Sister, today you are getting married."

Liu Shi, who was very happy just now, suddenly felt sour in her heart, her nose was also sore, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Mother, don't cry." Zhou Yu'er persuaded, her voice choked up: "I'm going to cry when you cry."

Mrs. Shiquan had seen such scenes a lot, she smiled at Mrs. Liu, and said, "Ma'am, General Ye is a queen after marrying him, mother of the world, what are you worried about?"

"That's right." Liu wiped away her tears, a little embarrassed.

Liu patted the back of Ye Qing's hand and said, "I have someone prepare hot water, it's time to take a shower and change clothes."
