Chapter 108: Chasing Beasts in Nanshan Paddock ([-])

When no one spoke, Prime Minister Zhou came out and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost the autumn harvest. Things in the household department are complicated. Maybe I didn't take care of them for a while."

Ye Lanchen pondered for a moment and said, "First allocate the wages of the river workers."

"Yes." Zhou Cheng responded accordingly.

Seeing that the money was almost guaranteed and the river workers' wages were secured, Yang Qin was happy and praised sincerely: "The emperor understands the righteousness well. It is really a blessing to the people and the country."

In the afternoon, Ye Lanchen went over to take a look at Ye Qingran.

There is also a chessboard on the table by the window, and the chess pieces on it have not yet been played.

Ye Lingxi and Ye Xingye were also here. They were playing chess. The black stones were connected, and Ye Lingxi's white stones were about to lose.

Seeing that the white pieces were scattered among the black pieces, which were obviously new players, Ye Lanchen picked up a white piece from the chess jar and placed it on the chessboard.Baizi, who was originally in pieces, regained his vitality. Ye Xingye originally thought he had a chance to win, but he didn't expect it to take a turn for the worse.

"This is from my father and cannot be counted."

"Why can't it be calculated? Third brother is probably afraid of being embarrassed if he loses."

In order to prove that he was not afraid, Ye Xingye picked up a black stone from the chess jar and placed it on the chessboard. Then a white stone was placed on it by Ye Lanchen. The situation on both sides suddenly reversed. Ye Xingye stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard with all his concentration. He was thinking about how to deal with it, and he even frowned without realizing it, and cold sweat was almost breaking out on his forehead.After thinking for a long time, he picked up a black stone and carefully placed it on the chessboard. When he was about to put it down, he picked it up again and moved his eyes to the next square, undecided between the two.

At this time, Eunuch De came in and reported that Prime Minister Zhou wanted to see him for something. Ye Lanchen left the chess game to Ye Xingye to decipher and left with Eunuch De.

Ye Xingye studied for a long time without deciding on the position of the chess pieces, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Third brother, why don't you ask the eldest brother?" Ye Lingxi suggested.

When Ye Xingye picked up the chessboard and prepared to show it to his eldest brother, he accidentally lost his balance and the black and white chess pieces came crashing together and two fell to the ground.Ye Xing's ambition is over. If his father knew about it, he would definitely think that he was cheating.

When Ye Lingxi picked up the two chess pieces that fell on the ground, Ye Xingye was racking his brains trying to restore the chess game. Ye Lingxi also came to help him. With the efforts of the two, they finally restored a game with five similarities. Sixty percent of the chess game was completed, and the two of them discussed it again. One said that the chess piece should be placed here, and the other said that it should be placed there. Finally, He He Ling Dang and Xiao Lu Zi were called to discuss it together.

Listening to the chattering outside the screen, Ye Qingran asked Xiao Quanzi to go over and take a look. After a while, Xiao Quanzi came back and said that His Highness the Third Prince and the Princess were resuming the chess game, and they couldn't be quiet for a while for fear of disturbing them. When Ye Qingran rested, he asked if he wanted the two of them to go back first. Ye Qingran was silent for a second or two and replied no.

The next morning, Eunuch De watched the palace people packing their bags. After everything was packed, it was already afternoon.

When the female family members got on the carriage, suddenly a gust of autumn wind blew away, and a handkerchief was blown away and fell just in front of the carriage in front. Su Wan quickly asked the maid to pick it up. When the maid rushed over, Xiao Quanzi had already picked up the handkerchief. Seeing that the handkerchief was a girl's style, Xiao Quanzi thought it was Ye Lingxi who had dropped it. When the maid said it belonged to her young lady, Xiao Quanzi returned it to the maid.

After returning, the maid told Su Wan that the father-in-law beside His Highness had picked up the veil. Su Wan asked the maid not to talk about it to outsiders so as not to cause gossip. The maid nodded and noted it down.

The carriages of the ministers followed the royal carriage back to the city, and the hunting meeting was finally over.After returning to the palace, Ye Lanchen sent the white peacock to the Queen's Palace, and then went to Weiyang Palace to see Concubine Lan. After dinner, he went to the Imperial Study Room to handle government affairs.

Before going to bed, Ye Lingxi asked Ling Dang to find Zhu'er and asked her if Concubine Xiao had visited her mother in the past few days. Zhu'er replied that Concubine Xiao came yesterday to talk about the injury of His Highness.

"The empress couldn't sleep well after hearing this all night. She was afraid that something would happen to the emperor and princess again." At this point, Pearl paused and lowered her voice, "Princess, I heard that the emperor was assassinated."

Ye Lingxi raised her hand and shushed, Zhu'er nodded and said: "Don't worry, princess, I won't talk nonsense."

"Princess..." Pearl paused hesitantly, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Ye Lingxi said in an encouraging tone: "Just tell me, there are no outsiders here."

"My servant also heard something about His Highness, saying that His Highness is the reincarnation of a lucky star." Zhu Er said cautiously.

Ye Lingxi thought that the news spread quickly enough, and even the palace knew about it. She thought for a moment and asked, "Does everyone in the palace know?"

Pearl replied: "I heard what Amber said. I saw that the weather was getting colder and colder, so I asked Amber to go to the embroidery workshop to see how the winter clothes in our palace were being sewn. We met again there. Fang'er in Concubine Liu's palace told her about this matter, and Fang'er heard it from people in Concubine Liu's palace."

Ye Lingxi thought for a few seconds and then asked, "Is Brother Xiao Yun gone?"

"It seems that she is still living in the palace, and I haven't heard of leaving the palace." Pearl replied.

The next day, Ling Dang went out for a walk all morning, and when he came back at noon, he reported all the information he had gathered to Ye Lingxi. Now everyone in the palace was spreading rumors that His Highness was a lucky star, and thought that His Highness' fortunes were good, and he would definitely be reused by the Emperor. Some people were looking for connections to serve in Changle Palace, but there was no movement from Concubine Xiao after hearing the news.

"By the way, princess, Eunuch De went to His Highness's Palace this morning. I heard that the Emperor rewarded His Highness many things. After that, the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Liu also went there, and several other concubines also went there. There are so many people here all at once, I think your Highness can’t even cope with it.”

Ye Lingxi knew that given her eldest brother's temperament that he liked peace and quiet, he was definitely not used to the sudden addition of so many people asking for help in the palace, so she might as well stay alone.

"Has everyone left now?"

"They should all have left. When I came back just now, I saw the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Liu walking in the Imperial Garden. When I saw the slave, I called over and asked the princess if you were okay. The slave said that princess, you are okay at all. The imperial concubine said again. The second princess was sick two days ago. If she goes with her, I'm afraid her illness will get worse. Princess, you are strong, can eat and sleep, and don't have to worry about anything."

Ye Lingxi: "..."

A few days later, the people in the palace saw that there was no movement in Changle Palace. Since Eunuch De sent the reward, there were no other orders. Those who wanted to find out the way to serve in Changle Palace were also indifferent. Thoughts.
