Started to get rich after exile

No one in Dong's mansion dared to tell Ye Juelu about Song Shanshan's affairs, but Hebai was afraid that the little fox would make a fool of himself, so he told Ye Juelu directly that day.

Ye Juelu didn't respond after hearing this, "I see, I'll let someone handle this matter."

He Bai stretched out his finger and gestured at the neck, "Brother, do you want me to kill her directly?"

Ye Juelu raised his hand and slapped her, "The thing hasn't happened yet, and if you don't have evidence to prove it, you just do it directly. This is killing innocent people."

"Oh! I know, I know, I'll just talk about it casually."

Ye Juelu lowered his face, "Go back and copy the Tao Te Ching fifty times, and you are not allowed to eat until you have finished copying."

"elder brother!!"

Ye Juelu's face darkened, and Hebai's heart was filled with fear, and he went to copy the book listlessly.

Ming Lanying had just arranged for the return of the beast cubs two days ago, and promised the ferocious beasts to take care of the extra weak cubs for them, so she divided a corner of the martial arts arena and built a beast garden, and made warm-keeping measures and grass nests according to the adaptability of the cubs.

There are 34 cubs, all born thin and not suitable for living in the wild. There are tigers and cheetahs, gray wolves and wild bears can get along well, and wild beasts also have hearts. The cubs are hard-won.

In nature, the weak eat the strong, and the cubs who are born thinner than other cubs and cannot grow quickly on their own are more likely to be abandoned.Since it is a deal, Ming Lanying is not someone who crosses rivers and breaks bridges. She has the ability and is familiar with the habits of all creatures. The cub is a little thinner now, but after her careful care, at least it can grow up healthy and safe.

The Garden of Beasts was tidied up, and Ming Lanying was in a good mood looking at the cute cubs in the garden, so she and Ning'er slapped each other in the Garden of Beasts one by one.

"Mother, it's snowing."

Ming Lanying looked up, and saw that the sky had been gloomy for several days, and there were scattered snowflakes. It was the first snow in the capital. The snow was not heavy, but it was beautiful, and it was most suitable for watching the snow around the stove.

Ming Lanying put down the little leopard in her hand, got up and clapped her hands, "Ning'er is going to wash up, eat a hot pot today."

Ning'er cheered, gently put down the cub in her arms, and ran to wash and change clothes.

The mess in the imperial court was almost cleaned up, and the black households in the capital were also cleaned up. Those who were willing to change their minds and put on new identities started from the bottom, and those who were not willing to be allotted to open up wasteland in the southwest.

People in the capital saw Prince Heng's rebellion and the raid of the Ming family, and the emperor didn't stop the people from speaking, and the people were free to speak, but they didn't dare to speak out loudly, so they secretly talked about the key points in private, and then sighed.

As the end of the year approaches, there are still many things to do in the court. Officials from all over the country also hand in the annual reports to Beijing. Officials have to work overtime at home on vacations and holidays.

Ye Juelu had been dragged by the emperor to help for more than a month. Now that the matter was settled, he directly asked the emperor to take leave of absence to spend time with his wife at home. He also made arrangements for the imperial guard barracks, and assigned the commanding authority to several deputy commanders and deputy envoys.

Even though he took leave from the emperor, Ye Juelu still had to occasionally go to the Imperial Guard barracks to inspect twice. When he came back from the snow, the hot pot was just on the table, and Ning'er was dividing the dishes obediently.

The servants in the mansion still don't need to come out to serve the master during the day, and if anyone sees the scene where Ming Lanying talks and interacts with those small animals, it will be troublesome for someone who wants to talk too much.

The bottom of the spicy red oil pot was gurgling, and the round table was surrounded by two circles of processed meat and vegetables, and the smell of appetizing wafted in the dining room.

Ning'er pushed Ye Juelu to the side to clean his hands, "Daddy just came back, wash up and start dinner soon."

Ye Juelu rubbed his son's little head, and Ming Lanying came out with four bowls of jelly. Seeing that the person who was usually the most active was not there, she asked suspiciously, "Where's Hebai? Isn't he usually the most active in eating?"

Ye Juelu took the jelly in her hand, "Punish her to copy the book, and she is not allowed to eat until she finishes copying, so don't worry about her."

Ming Lanying looked at the jelly that belonged to Hebai with regret, "It's a pity, I finally made it."

The crystal clear and smooth jelly is poured with brown sugar water, and some fashionable fruits and hand-rubbed glutinous rice balls are spread on top. It is sweet, smooth and tender, and has a rich taste. It is a perfect match for hot pot.

As long as it is given by Ming Lanying, Ning'er will take a bite first without asking, and eat a spoonful of jelly first. The novel taste will make people's eyes shine, "Mother, what is this?"

Seeing his bright eyes, Ming Lanying liked it very much, "This is brown sugar jelly. Eating it in a hot pot can relieve the greasy and spicy taste. Does Ning'er like it?"

Ning'er nodded vigorously, but pushed the jelly to the side first, "I like it!"

"Aunt Hebai is not here, so Ning'er will finish her bowl."

Ning'er looked at Hebai's bowl hesitantly, but shook his head and refused, "Daddy only said that aunt is not allowed to eat, but jelly is not rice, and Ning'er will send it to Aunt Hebai later."

Ming Lanying glanced at Ye Juelu amusedly, Ye Juelu shook his head helplessly, and silently helped Ming Lanying cook the vegetables, as his son grew up, he would take advantage of the loopholes in his words.

"The emperor said that the boy from the Shan family will be here in a few days, so let us pick him up."

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows and said, "After waiting for two months, it's finally here."

Ye Juelu took a meatball for her, seeing her eyes full of watching the excitement, the corners of her mouth also slightly raised, "I'll take him to see the emperor to get an order first, and then take him back to the mansion."

"Okay, the guest house on the left has been tidied up, let him live in it first, let's talk about what's missing."

The three of them who ate a hot pot were all warm, especially Ye Juelu and Ning'er, who were not very good at eating spicy food, but they couldn't stop eating.

When Ning'er went to the study to look for He Bai with jelly, she was already dizzy from hunger, and her handwriting was crooked after missing a meal.

The window of the study room was facing the desk. Ning'er poked her head out of the window and saw He Bai who was holding his head up and struggling to write. He called softly, "Auntie, I'll bring you something to eat~"

He Bai straightened up immediately, quickly dropped his pen and pushed open the window, and with a flick of his arm, Ning'er slipped in with the food box.

"Ning'er! Why are you here?"

Ning'er chuckled, and put out the jelly in the food box, "Daddy said you are not allowed to eat, but jelly is not a meal, mother said, this is a sugar snack."

"Jelly? My sister-in-law has researched a new food!"

He Bai looked at the soft, glutinous balls in the bamboo hat bowl, and the crystal clear jelly soaked in brown sugar water, and directly scooped up a large spoonful.

Cool, slippery, and sweet with brown sugar water, eat most of it with a sip.

He didn't forget to rub Ning'er's little head, "My sister-in-law and Ning'er still love me."

Ning'er stood on tiptoe and glanced at the table, "Auntie, how many times do you have to do it? Daddy said you couldn't finish copying today, and you're out of dinner and snacks."

He Bai held up the big bowl, drank all the brown sugar water, and finally wiped his mouth casually, "It's almost there, there are still fifteen times left, I'm used to copying, it's a small problem."

Ning'er let out a sigh, and said innocently with her face propped up, "Daddy said that my aunt's fiancé will be arriving in two days. Is aunt looking forward to it?"

"puff--!"

Before he swallowed the last sip of brown sugar water, He Bai looked at Ning'er in horror.

"What fiance! Who told you that?!"

Ning'er blinked, "Daddy!"

He Bai gritted his teeth, "Your father lied to you. That's not my aunt's fiancé, but my aunt's opponent. He is very bad. Let me tell you..."

He Baishu stopped copying, and complained to Ning'er how they had a grudge because of a word they met once, and slapped the table when they got excited.

Ning'er listened carefully. To put it simply, one chatterbox met another barbarian. If they couldn't argue with each other, they fought. In the end, no one could win.

Ning'er was silent for a moment after listening, "Auntie, you must beat him."

Bars are really annoying!

"Ok!"

When she defeats that brat, she can justifiably divorce the emperor. After all, she is now a female general with an official position. Only the one who defeats her can she consider giving him a title.

Ye Juelu had someone stand guard ten miles outside the capital, and would report to anyone as soon as he saw them.

Three days later, at the gate of the capital, Ye Juelu stood tall and straight in official uniform, like a sharp sword that opened up the world. A red-maned horse galloped all the way, and finally stopped in front of him.

The fierce horse snorted, and the boy on the horse held the rein in one hand and the whip in the other, and sat on the horse's back and gave Ye Juelu a glance, as if he was looking at the identity of the person in front of him.

The bluish-gray dark-striped strong suit looks calm, but the boyish handsome man really looks like a white-faced boy, and the calm bluish-gray on him is more refreshing and attractive.The corner of the young man's mouth was slightly smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. He had been training with soldiers at the border for a long time, and he was the third son of General Shan. The young man had experienced the cruelest training and battlefield, but he still had an aura of wanton publicity.

Shan Zhao thought about it for a long time but still didn't recognize who it was. He was not very familiar with the officials in the capital, and Ye Juelu was wearing a new royal court uniform. He had been driving for two months and still didn't know that Ye Juelu was named king with a different surname.

"Which adult are you?"

Ye Juelu also looked at Shan Zhao, the satisfied look in his eyes was like his brother seeing a treasured sword, which made Shan Zhao puzzled.

"Ye Juelu, King of Yanbei, has come to take over Young Master Zhao at the emperor's will."

Shan Zhao was taken aback, and quickly got off his horse to salute, Ye Juelu gave him a hand, "There is no need to be too polite, let's go to the palace to see the emperor."

"Yes!"

Shan Zhao was a little excited. This is a close minister of the emperor. He was just a minister before, but now he is a prince with a different surname. This is such an honor!He actually let King Yanbei come to pick him up in person!

The excited heart felt calm after listening to the imperial decree read out by Mr. Defu.

The emperor and Ye Juelu looked at each other, and coughed pretendingly, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Shan, this is what your father exchanged for a reward, saying that you never forget Miss Hebai, and often mention her name, but I'm embarrassed to say that your father gave up his old face to beg in front of me, and I don't want to chill the heart of the old minister. But don't worry, I just order a score first. It's up to both of you to marry a man and a woman. It's really not suitable to ask me to divorce later."

Shan Zhao silently clenched his fists, "...Didn't the emperor order the officials to go to Beijing to receive the reward?"

Shan Zhao's achievements and abilities in the past two years at the border were remarkable. He thought that the emperor saw his excellence and wanted to make him a little general. Except for him, everyone else in the Shan family was a general of the sixth rank or above. He was jealous for a long time.

The emperor nodded, "Isn't this marriage a reward? That girl Hebai made military achievements a while ago, and now she is a fifth-rank female general, and she is a close match with you."

Shan Zhao was stunned, the first unbeaten opponent in his life turned out to be a female general, and he was just a small lieutenant in the army!The official rank is several grades worse, so why should I rely on it!
Ye Juelu coughed and reminded, "Young Master Shan hasn't thanked you yet."

Shan Zhao gritted his teeth and saluted to thank him. When holding the imperial decree, he still didn't forget to talk about his father who didn't know the truth of the matter and was doing a disservice to him.

The emperor waved his hand cheerfully, and handed over the arrangement of Shan Zhao's residence in Beijing to Ye Juelu, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and you don't need to rush back to the border after your father said it. You'll live in the Yanbei Palace for a while, and it's good to get acquainted with Hebai and exchange feelings."

Shan Zhao answered politely, he had already scolded his father in his heart, Ye Juelu gave him a sideways glance, as if he had seen through his little thoughts, chatted with the emperor a few more words, and brought him back to the mansion.

After leaving the palace, Shan Zhao endured it again and again. The emperor just said that He Bai was Ye Juelu's younger sister, so He Bai was also in the palace... Shan Zhao endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold back his showdown with Ye Juelv.

"My lord, to be honest, I don't really know that stinky girl—Miss Hebai. We didn't know about some personal matters before, but it's not about that. After I get to know her first, I will go to the emperor to mention the matter of divorce. This is my father's stinky old man who is not kind, so I will accuse you first."

Ye Juelu hummed, although he didn't want to say anything, but for the sake of the emperor's face, he still said, "The emperor has granted the marriage, even if you both want to cancel the engagement, you have to wait a few months, don't let the emperor lose face."

Shan Zhao was stunned, and immediately clasped his fists in salute, "Shan Zhao understands, thank you for reminding me, my lord."

Ye Juelu saw Ming Lanying and his wife waiting for them at the door from a distance, and said in a low voice: "I will live in the palace with peace of mind for a few months, and my wife will make arrangements for a good New Year."

Shan Zhao also saw the bright beauty in front of the gate of the palace, and immediately came back to his senses, "Don't let the princess worry about it. I've been bothering you in the palace for so long, will the princess mind? In fact, I don't have to live in the palace. Just set up a small courtyard in the middle of the capital. After all, my status is not suitable."

Shan Zhao was afraid that if he met He Bai in the palace, he would not be able to control his mouth to provoke her, and then started fighting again. Although he was confident that he could beat her now, it would not be good to beat the owner's sister into a fool by living in someone else's house.

Ye Juelu glanced at Shan Zhao unexpectedly, and felt that the child was quite sensible and cautious, "It's okay, stay here for the New Year with peace of mind, so I can have an explanation with your father."

"As ordered!"

Regardless of whether he confesses or not, leaving him alone in the capital for the new year will not be a good year!

Shan Zhao refrained from arguing with Ye Juelu, but when he thought of his worrying father, he couldn't help but want to point at that smelly old man's nose and curse, and gave him this oolong gift of marriage.

But the imperial decree has been issued, and Shan Zhao can't get rid of the relationship immediately. If he wants to retire, he will have to wait a few years to save some face for the emperor.
