Jiaochu

Dong Mo led the way, and the four of them got off the tower.

"Next time, don't come up so late. It's very windy upstairs and it's easy to catch a cold." Ye Lingjue said.

"Yeah." Ye Lingxi hummed again, feeling a little embarrassed herself. Ye Lingjue asked, "Do you have any plans for your marriage?" Her? I made a sound, feeling that this topic was a bit abrupt, and I didn’t know what to say for a while. Ye Lingjue said, "I told you before that the General's Mansion is deep in water." She was interrupted before she finished speaking, "Second brother, let's talk about something else."

After walking in silence for a while, she turned to look at the people next to her, and also looked at the moon in the night sky, saying that it was a sunny day. Ye Lingjue asked her how she knew, and Ye Lingxi said that the moon told her, Ye Lingjue smiled slightly.

The next day it turned out to be clear skies and bright spring weather.

Ye Lingxi accompanied Concubine Lan for a walk in the imperial garden. Doctor Han said that more sun exposure would be good for the fetus. After walking around for about half an hour, she kept in mind the doctor's advice not to tire her mother-in-law, so she said she was hungry, and the group went back.

When they were approaching Weiyang Palace, Xiao Anzi came over to say hello and then left. After sending her mother and concubine back to the house to rest, Ye Lingxi came out again.

Xiao Anzi didn't go far and found an inconspicuous place to wait. When he saw someone coming out, he walked out from behind the pavilion and waved.

After Ye Lingxi came over, she skipped Xiao Anzi's greetings and asked about Ye Qingran first, wanting to know whether her father sent someone back or someone else brought it up.

"I was just about to tell the princess. I didn't explain it clearly to the princess yesterday. There was a flood in Qingzhou last year. His Highness was successful in controlling the floods. He was able to overcome the merits, so the Emperor asked His Highness to come back. However," At this point, Xiao Anzi After a pause, he lowered his voice a bit and said, "Prime Minister Zhou doesn't seem to want His Highness to come back. Some ministers in the court also objected. Lord Shen spoke for His Highness, and the Emperor settled the matter." At this point, Xiao Anzi paused again, "There is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Say it." Ye Lingxi said.

Xiao Anzi said: "I heard that Mr. Su seems to be opposed to His Highness coming back. I know that the princess and Mr. Su are good friends, but after all, Miss Su has suffered so much injustice, and now the marriage is not settled. The emperor summoned the prince this time. When His Highness comes back, he probably wants the two of them to reunite, but I guess that Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are definitely not willing to do so."

Ye Lingxi thought for a while and asked, "Is Sister Su back?"

Xiao Anzi replied: "I haven't heard that the person has come back. He should still be in Yuzhou." Speaking of this, Xiao Anzi said another thing, "Princess, do you still remember Mr. Gu? A few days ago, The Emperor asked Old Mrs. Gu to go back. I heard that the old Mr. Gu dispersed half of his family wealth as soon as he returned, handed over the most profitable salt mine, and then went to work as a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple."

Ye Lingxi's expression changed slightly when she heard about the salt mine, but her father was definitely not such a person. He would accuse people of unfounded crimes just to get the salt mine. "Just go back."

Xiao Anzi nodded and said: "The princess is right. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. At least there is still half of it, enough to feed and clothe you for several lifetimes."

"Is there anything else?" Ye Lingxi asked.

Xiao Anzi said that Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was involved in the censorship last year. Many unjust, false and wrong cases were found out, and huge profits were made from them. He was dismissed from his post and investigated.

Cao Yan, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments. This man was an upright person. Because of his upright character, he was never favored by Liu Shangshu. ", he was increasingly squeezed and suppressed by Liu Shangshu. In the end, he couldn't even take care of trivial matters and sat on the bench.

Zhou Jing was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs.

Ye Xingye and Meng Jingxiu are in love.

Hearing the news, Ye Lingxi was a little surprised, then smiled knowingly and said, "A thousand-mile marriage depends on a thread." He then asked about the whole story, and Xiao Anzi told him the whole story.

Three months after the epidemic, Meng Jingxiu came to the capital with a guard, who was Mu Qi. She was in a hurry to enter the palace, and couldn't wait for the guards to pass the news, so she rushed in directly, and there was a little conflict between the two parties. She happened to be met by Ye Xingye, and he took her and Mu Qi directly into the palace to meet his father. Meng Jingxiu thought that Ye Lingxi had unfortunately contracted the epidemic and died, so she rushed over from home alone overnight. Mu Qi later caught up with her on the road, and could not knock her out and take her back, so she had to escort her all the way to the capital.

Unexpectedly, something happened.

However, since she came here, she stayed in the palace for a while, either chatting with Concubine Lan to relax, or watching Ye Xingye falcon training, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.

During the Lantern Festival the next year, Meng Jingxiu also came with King Pingnan and set off fireworks with Ye Xingye. The two talked and laughed.

……

Two days later, when Lingxi saw her third brother again, she casually mentioned a person's name, and saw that her third brother's face was rosy, and she felt enlightened.

The next day, just after breakfast, she climbed up the tower again and looked in the direction of the city gate with a telescope.

After finishing lunch at noon, she returned to the tower and continued to look out.

Finally, a group of carriages and horses appeared in the field of vision.

She immediately went downstairs, the bell following behind to tell her to slow down.

"Princess, slow down."

Ye Lingxi ran downstairs holding the bell. The bell was always on tenterhooks for fear of falling. Fortunately, there was no danger and the two of them landed safely. She asked Lingdang to go back and talk to her mother-in-law, then ran over and showed the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant to the guard guarding the door, and left the palace smoothly.

After the carriage and horses entered the city, some busybodies who had received the gossip started talking about it.

Passerby A said: "I heard that His Highness came back this time to marry Miss Su."

Passerby Yi said: "Really or not, didn't His Highness fall in love with a little palace maid? He wanted to elope with this little palace maid, but he was demoted to Qingzhou. I don't think he can stay for a few days after returning this time." gone."

Passerby C said: "What do you know? His Highness is not a womanizer."

Passerby A laughed and said, "If you're not a womanizer, how can you be a man's womanizer?"

Passers-by B and C had evil smiles on their faces.

The next moment there was a thud, and a pebble hit passerby A on the back of his head. Then there were two more thuds, one hit the back of passerby B's head, and the other hit passerby C's forehead. The three of them were in pain. Baring his teeth and grinning, he stood up and yelled who it was. The tea stall owner looked confused and didn't know what the three of them were doing.

Seeing that everyone around them was looking at them strangely, the three of them had sly expressions on their faces, thinking they were unlucky, and ran away with unlucky looks.

A girl holding a mask hummed a light tune and left.
