Jiaochu

By the time Ye Lingxi saw Ye Yuyao, her second sister, it was already after dinner.

The two sisters were sitting in the room talking, while Danlu, Mo'er, Hehe and Lingdang gathered around to solve the nine-ring chain.

Ye Lingxi quietly asked Ye Yuyao if she was happy. Ye Yuyao's face suddenly turned red, redder than a cooked crab. She shook her head shyly, and her voice was so shy that she almost lost her voice. "Third sister, let's talk about something else."

The two of them chatted about the customs and customs in the south, and before they knew it, the sky became a little dark.

When Ye Lingxi was about to ask Gui'er to send someone back, Linglong came over and said that the Crown Prince was here.

Ye Yuyao's face turned red and she lowered her head shyly.

Meng Tianlan and Mu Qi were waiting outside the door. When they saw someone coming, their eyes fell on the slender and graceful figure among them, with a soft color between his calm and handsome eyebrows. Ye Yuyao also raised her eyes to look at the person at the door, and felt at ease when she saw that familiar figure. Ye Lingxi came with him, and when he saw Meng Tianlan, he asked specifically, "Brother Meng is here to pick up the second sister?" Meng Tianlan hummed, and Ye Yuyao bowed her head shyly, and said shyly, "Third sister, then I will go first gone back."

Ye Lingxi stood at the door and watched the two people leave. When he returned to the house, Lingdang said, "His Royal Highness is quite attentive, and he even came to pick up the second princess in person. Before, I saw that His Highness was not very talkative, and it made people a little bit nervous just looking at him. I'm afraid." He He said, "If you meet someone as careful as His Royal Highness in the future, will you marry me?" Ling Dang thought about it seriously and said, "If there are no father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will consider it." He He Zhan Pa smiled, and Ye Lingxi also smiled and said, "How can Yibai refine steel and turn it into soft steel?"

Seeing that the two of them were harmonious as husband and wife, she was relieved. Looking at her second sister's demeanor and tone just now, she must have felt relieved.

If it were her, could she let it go?

The next day, the Lantern Festival.

King Zhenbei also appeared at the dinner.

Previously, Ye Lanchen left someone to recuperate in the capital, and let King Zhenbei live in the palace. There is a hot spring there, the environment is quiet, and the air is good, which is perfect for recuperating. Ye Lanchen asked Dr. Han to visit him regularly. From time to time, people would send me some supplements.

Just like what King Pingnan said before, there is nothing wrong with being served delicious food and drinks and being treated by an imperial doctor.

When Ye Lingxi saw the great vassal king again, he felt that the murderous aura in him seemed to be lessened. I wonder if it was because he had restrained himself, or if he was soaking in hot springs every day in the palace to cultivate his character and turn the violent aura into peace?

King Pingnan whispered a few words to Princess Pingnan, looked in the direction of King Zhenbei, and told some kind of joke, which made Princess Pingnan laugh. King Pingnan wanted to talk more, and Princess Pingnan threw her bowl at him. With vegetables in it, King Pingnan stopped eating.

King Zhenbei said: "I heard that Xiyan sent envoys to redeem the Shang Taifu a few days ago, and they also sent one hundred thousand taels of gold."

When King Pingnan heard the word Xi Yan, he couldn't sit still. He raised his hand to slap the table. Princess Pingnan coughed lightly. King Pingnan put down the big slap without slapping the table and said, "The old fox is full of tricks. Once he puts it back, he will If he wants to do some dirty tricks to harm us, I think he should be locked up until he becomes honest."

Zheng Mian deeply agreed, "Your Majesty is right, such scheming and cunning people will be served with severe punishment. They will be honest after ten days and a half in the Imperial City."

King Pingnan asked if that was what he said. Just as he was about to speak, Princess Pingnan put vegetables into his bowl again, and King Pingnan stopped talking while eating the food.

Yan Jiang said: "After all, I am a Tutor and my health is not good. If I get sick from fear before I even enter the Imperial City, I will have to see a doctor, take medicine, and be waited on every day. Isn't this just giving me money?" It's not cost-effective." Zheng Mian said: "As long as a person can't die, why should he look for someone to serve him? What should a prisoner be afraid of? We should give him some color and let him vomit out all the secrets in his stomach."

Prime Minister Su said: "If you are talking about yang, you should say it is sublime, and if you are talking about yin, you should be humble. If you are low, you should seek small, and if you are high, you should be big."

Zheng Mian drank a glass of wine and said nothing, but his expression was obviously unconvinced.

King Pingnan asked in a low voice, "What did Prime Minister Su say in his chatter?" Princess Pingnan said, "You talk to people when you see them, but you talk about ghosts when you see ghosts." King Pingnan said, "So that's what it means, or because the lady is knowledgeable. "

Ye Lingxi didn't care much about where Taifu Shang was imprisoned or whether he wanted to be punished. As long as he was still imprisoned, the most important thing at the moment was another matter, the choice of the prince.

If she guessed correctly, it would be within the next few days.

Therefore, she paid special attention to her father's every move.

While setting off the fireworks, she saw Eunuch De bringing the Minister of Rites, Wen Shangshu, to her father. After a while, Wen Shangshu resigned, and Eunuch De brought Prime Minister Su over.

She hoped in her heart that it was her eldest brother, but her rational judgment was that it was her second brother.

A grand firework bloomed above the head, illuminating everyone in an instant.

Ye Qingran and Su Wan stood together watching the fireworks. Ye Lingjue looked at her through the railing and smiled slightly. Her eyes were lit up by the fireworks, showing a bit of loneliness. She turned her head to look at the sparkling fireworks among the trees. , Ye Xingye and Meng Jingxiu were standing together watching the fireworks. When they were illuminated by the bright light, they both felt a little embarrassed and turned their heads to look away, as if their pigtails had been caught.

Meng Tianlan and Ye Yuyao were also standing together watching the fireworks. Su Yu bumped into Zhao Ce, and they twisted their necks and went their separate ways.

Su Shi stood in a place with few people watching the fireworks when Yan Fei came over.

Fireworks scattered and rose, extinguished and bloomed again, illuminating the eyes of the two people, flickering brightly and dimly.

Yan Fei asked: "You are not young anymore. Do you have a girl you like?" Su Shi smiled gently and said, "The princess asked me before." Yan Fei felt a little nervous for no reason, and said, "Then what do you do? Answer?" Su Shi said, "In matters related to marriage, you must obey your parents' orders."

Yanfei felt that this answer was a bit unexpected and reasonable, and he couldn't find any fault with it. This has been the case since ancient times when parents ordered matchmakers. The two grew up together, and he knew that the other would not do anything like this. Those deviant things, sometimes he didn't know whether it was stubbornness or pedantic reading.

"You don't want to pick the one you like so that you can be happy every day when you marry him and bring him home."

Su Shi smiled warmly and said, "The moon waxes and wanes, and everything is rarely perfect, but I hope I have a clear conscience."

Yanfei said, "I will marry the one I like in this life, and I will see her as soon as I get home. When I get to the age of my grandfather, I will not be an official, and I will take her to travel around the mountains and rivers, and eat delicious food." Yes, just for fun, see all over the world." He turned his head and looked in one direction, his eyes reflecting the figure standing under the tree, with infinite tenderness between his brows and eyes.
