Chapter 290 Wu Meiniang enters the imperial study

Protector's Mansion.

Night has fallen, and it is rare for Yue Fei's family to get together for dinner.

Yue Fei and Yue Yun led troops to fight overseas all year round. At home, only Mrs. Yue and her several young children, including Yue Ting, Yue Lei, and Yue Lin, had few opportunities to have meals together as a family.

"Master, can you rest for a while when you come back this time?"

Mrs. Yue put a chopstick dish into Yue Yun's bowl, and then asked Yue Fei.

"It will take about two months, when the army's ordnance has been replaced and the warships have been repaired, then we will set off again. The war overseas has not been peaceful recently. As the commander-in-chief, how can I stay home for a long time."

Yue Fei replied calmly while eating.

Hearing his words, Mrs. Yue couldn't help but said: "You are not the only general in the court. You have been away from home for more than three years, and now you are leaving in two months after you come back..."

"Women's view!"

Yue Fei frowned and his face darkened.

"Nowadays, the overseas fronts are greatly expanded. Not only are they expeditions to Africa and Australia, but they are also having conflicts with the Byzantine Empire. Generals such as Han Xin, Xue Wanche, and Li Ji are all on the front lines. Don't they have families to worry about?"

"Your Majesty gave me the command of the entire expeditionary force. How much trust does this show in me! This is for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"

Being scolded by Yue Fei like this, Mrs. Yue's eyes were slightly red, and the atmosphere at the dinner table couldn't help but become a little heavy.

Seeing this, Yue Yun took the initiative and said, "My mother is at home taking care of many affairs in the house, dealing with people in the capital, and taking care of three younger brothers. It's not as easy as for you, father. Father, you should understand that mother is the one."

Yue Fei's expression froze slightly when he heard this. He looked at the lady who had some white hair on her temples and felt a little guilty, so he said, "I'm sorry, madam, I was too harsh."

Mrs. Yue shook her head and said, "I can understand, Master. It's not easy for you and Yun'er to fight desperately outside. My thoughts are too selfish."

"Well, let's eat."

Yue Fei nodded and took the initiative to help Mrs. Yue pick up the dishes.

The atmosphere calmed down again.

After a while, Yue Yun suddenly asked: "By the way, father, I heard that Li Zhi is engaged to Zhangsun Chong, the son of Zhongshu Ling?"

When mentioning this matter, Yue Fei couldn't help but glance at Yue Yun: "It is indeed true. It was decided about three years ago when Li Zhi returned to Beijing. Why do you ask this?"

Mrs. Yue smiled lightly and said, "It seems that Yun'er has reached the age to get married. I will help you find a few suitable women in Beijing so that you can start a family as soon as possible."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "It's okay. If you get married, don't go on this expedition. Stay in Beijing for the time being, and then go to the front line with me next year."

"You are now twenty-five, so you should start a family as soon as possible, so that I can feel relieved."

Both Yue Fei and Mrs. Yue were in favor of finding a match for Yue Yun.

With Yue Fei's current status as Lord Protector, Grand Marshal of the Expeditionary Force, and Grand General of the Country, if he wanted to marry Yue Yun, I'm afraid countless nobles from aristocratic families would flock to him.

But Yue Yun was stunned and didn't hear what they said next.

"So... is Lizhi really engaged to that Changsun Chong?"

Yue Yun's eyes dimmed, and he felt an indescribable emptiness in his heart, with an indescribable discomfort.

Yue Fei noticed something strange about Yue Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yue Yun was silent for a long time before finally looking up at Yue Fei and mustering up the courage to say: "Father, I like beauty and I want to marry her."

"What did you say?"

Yue Fei was startled and then scolded: "Nonsense! Li Zhi is already engaged, how can you marry her?!"

"But Lizhi doesn't want to marry Changsun Chong, otherwise why would she stay overseas and not come back for three years?" Yue Yun retorted with a very firm expression, "I don't know if Lizhi likes me, but she definitely doesn't. I like Changsun Chong. I want to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and ask His Majesty to come forward to terminate the engagement between her and Changsun Chong."

"Bullshit! Simply bullshit!"

Yue Fei was furious, "Even if Li Zhi doesn't like Chang Sun Chong, it is an indisputable fact that they have a marriage contract! How can you destroy the marriage between others?"

"You stay at home and think about your mistakes. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Tomorrow, let your mother select a suitable family for you, and you can get married as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Yue Fei stood up and flung his sleeves away.

This rare family dinner ended unhappy.

……

Yeting Palace.

"Eunuch Gao has arrived——"

A young eunuch shouted in a high voice. The beautiful ladies who were joking and joking in small groups in the Yeting Palace were suddenly startled, and then they quickly stood in neat rows and stood with their heads bowed, feeling extremely nervous.

After a while, a eunuch wearing a red python robe, surrounded by several young eunuchs, walked into the Yeting Palace.

The nun in the palace immediately greeted him with a smile on her face and said: "Eunuch Gao is coming to the Yeting Palace so late at night, so he is not welcomed from afar, but sometimes he is not welcomed from afar."

There was unconcealable tension in his tone.

Gao Huai is the eunuch in front of the emperor and the chief eunuch in the palace. He manages all the maids and eunuchs in the palace. He is an out-and-out big shot.

It is really surprising that such a big shot comes to Yeting Palace.

After Gao Huai sat down, he took the tea from the hand of the palace maid on the side, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly: "Our family naturally has something to do when we come to Yeting Palace."

"How are the palace ladies learning the court etiquette?"

"Back to Eunuch Gao, most of them are stupid, but some of them are still good at learning."

Auntie, the teacher, smiled along with her.

"It's okay if you don't learn palace etiquette well. When walking in this deep palace, if you accidentally lose etiquette in front of the empresses or the saints, although your life will not be lost, our family will not take it lightly."

Gao Huai's feminine voice echoed in the ears of the beautiful ladies, making them all extremely nervous.

Auntie taught me at the right time and said: "Eunuch Gao is right, the slaves must discipline them well... But why did Eunuch Gao come to Yeting Palace this time?"

A person of Gao Huai's status would definitely not come to Yeting Palace just because he was concerned about such things.

Gao Huai put down the tea bowl in his hand and said calmly: "The maid in the imperial study room has caught a cold and cannot go to the imperial study room for duty tomorrow. We couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so we came to your Yiting Palace to take a look."

After hearing Gao Huai's words, all the beautiful ladies suddenly understood, and then felt excited in their hearts.

Being able to go on duty in the imperial study room and face the Holy Emperor directly is an extremely rare opportunity for beautiful ladies like them!

For a moment, all the show girls could not help but secretly look up at Gao Huai and Aunt Xi, hoping that they would choose them.

Seeing their reactions, Gao Huai felt disdainful and continued to sift through the beautiful ladies with his eyes.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure came into his eyes.

This show girl has a beautiful appearance, and her expression is calm and generous. She looks completely different from the many happy show girls around her.

Gao Huai pointed at her and said, "You, come out."
