Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 15

Yu Shaoheng took advantage of the situation and said: "Someone knows your preferences, recites poems and paints for you, and enjoys the spring flowers and autumn moon with you-I am extremely annoyed." After speaking, he stretched out his arms to pick up the brocade quilt, shook off the dust, and covered the figures of the two of them. .

Ye Xizhao believed that this was what he said from the bottom of his heart, but it was only one of the reasons for the whole thing.Seeing what he meant, he was only willing to talk about this point. After thinking for a while, he replied: "People like Lord Hou are everywhere in the capital."

"Is this irrational?" Yu Shaoheng's voice subconsciously blended into a smile.

"Master Hou puts these things in his heart, and no one can do anything. The girls in the boudoir spend their time just enjoying the scenery. Compete for talent." Ye Xizhao said, stroking his brow lightly with his fingers, "Before Hou Ye joined the army, didn't he ever do this?"

Yu Shaoheng thought for a while, and he had to admit: "It used to be like this." When he was young, even he had no interest in such things, and he was willing to take his second and third brothers out to steal half a day's leisure.

Ye Xizhao slowly continued: "Then, is there no rich family who recites poems and paints for Master Hou? Has anyone asked about Master Hou's preferences? Besides, Master Hou has never stood with anyone and chatted with the beautiful scenery A few words? Master Hou has no intentions, but in the eyes of others, no one can control what they think."

Yu Shaoheng understood what she meant, smiled, and held her hand, "I understand what you mean."

He understood that what Ye Xihan said to him was just an exaggeration taken out of context.

For this matter, he was just jealous, jealous of Tang Hongxiao, who stepped into her life before him.Besides, it was boredom, that guy was a thorn in his heart.

Ye Xizhao also mentioned Ye Xihan: "Brother doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know what gossip he has heard, so he speaks those nonsense. When he comes tomorrow, I will try my best to persuade him to stop being stubborn What he said today, my concubine will let him make it clear in front of Lord Hou." She had to leave some room for everything, and she wasn't sure that she could change Ye Xihan's opinion.

"No, just talk. He has too much prejudice against me, and it won't change overnight."

Ye Xizhao knew what he said was reasonable, and nodded in response.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that other things should not be mentioned, because she was all in the fog, so I should wait until later to make plans.But right now, she should wash up as soon as possible and go to see Mrs. Tai, but she is afraid from the bottom of her heart: "What should I say when I go to see Mrs. Tai?" As she spoke, she buried her face on the pillow and muttered helplessly, "The most important thing is to feel shameless."

Yu Shaoheng let out a clear laugh, "I'll just go there. You just take a shower and change clothes, and rest early."

"Then how about..."

"Be obedient!" Yu Shaoheng emphasized his tone, and patted her on the back, "I just said that your body is inappropriate."

Ye Xizhao didn't insist anymore.

Yu Shaoheng called someone to serve Ye Xizhao to take a bath, he also hastily washed himself, changed his clothes and went to Mrs. Tai's room.

Mrs. Tai ordered people to prepare the meal for a long time today, and she was sitting alone at the table at this time, eating absent-mindedly.

"Mother." Yu Shaoheng walked to the table.

Seeing his amiable face, Mrs. Tai relaxed, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

Mrs. Tai hurriedly called someone to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Eat as soon as possible."

"Alright." Yu Shaoheng took his seat, thinking of Ye Xizhao, he told Xia He, "Go and inform Madam, eat first, don't wait for me."

Xia He smiled and said yes, and walked away quickly.

When there were only mother and child left, Tai Furen asked: "What happened just now?" After hearing Xia He's report earlier, she thought that the husband and wife were angry again, but now they don't think so.

Yu Shaoheng smiled apologetically, "It's okay. I drank a few more drinks before I sobered up. Xi Zhao was a bit inappropriate, so I didn't let her come with me."

Mrs. Tai said angrily: "Go ahead and apologize, what are you doing drinking?" Then she asked with concern, "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to have a look?"

"I can't shirk it. Xi Zhao has been busy all day and is a little tired. It's okay."

Mrs. Tai asked tentatively again: "Have you ever prepared the gift for Xiangye's birthday?"

"Get ready." Yu Shaoheng gave a reassuring answer, "I will go with Xi Zhao at that time."

Mrs. Tai really felt relieved, "That's how it should be."

After the mother and son finished eating together and chatted for a long time, Yu Shaoheng left and went back to his room.

Ye Xizhao had already fallen asleep.

He undressed and went to bed, staring at him while lying down.

Against the backdrop of cloud-like hair and red silk pajamas, her skin is more snowy, her lips are slightly crimson, her slender and thick eyelashes are like two small fans, but her brows are slightly frowned.

He knew that there was confusion and trouble in her heart, but she never said it.

He turned and turned off the light, and stretched his arms to take her into his arms.She froze in alertness, then slowly relaxed, and her bare hands fell on his waist.

The heart is so at ease.The drunkenness of the whole afternoon hit me, and I fell into a dream.

The next morning, when Yu Shaoheng woke up, Ye Xizhao had already invited An to come back, smiling and refreshed.One can tell at a glance that Mrs. Tai must be pulling her to greet her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a very happy chat.

After eating, Yu Shaoheng went to the study.

Not long after, Ye Xihan came.Yesterday's drunkenness made him look bad.After sitting down, he took the tea from Zhilan and drank it all in one gulp. Then he took the fine porcelain teacup in Ye Xizhao's hand and drank a few swigs before saying, "I'm thirsty. Not good."

"Why don't you die drunk?" Ye Xizhao gave him a gouged look, with a bad tone.

Ye Xihan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's this called? You still have to go mourning and mourning after I die, how tired you are."

Ye Xizhao almost laughed, and then told Zhilan: "Prepare him a pot of tea."

Zhilan suppressed a smile, followed orders, and then withdrew.

Ye Xihan asked: "Where's Yu Shaoheng?"

"I went to the study to deal with government affairs." Ye Xizhao reprimanded, "What happened to you yesterday? Are you crazy?"

"Isn't it all for you?" Ye Xihan felt aggrieved.

Ye Xizhao held back his anger, "Since you have come to the Hou Mansion today, why don't you tell me, how can you tell that I seem to be imprisoned or threatened?"

But Ye Xihan said: "Why don't you tell me the truth? If you live a happy life, why don't you even return to your mother's house? There are big and small things in the prime minister's house, aren't they just those servants running around? message?"

Ye Xizhao said angrily: "I didn't go back often in the past, but didn't my mother come to see me every now and then? Did she ever tell you that I was not doing well?"

"Mother has always been a peacemaker. She was afraid of offending the famous people in front of the emperor. How could she say that you are not doing well? But she came here ten times, and eight of them were to visit the sick. If you are doing well, how can you be sick? Crooked? The few times I’ve come here in the past, I’ve been blocked from the door, and those servants are like an enemy when they see me!”

"Who told you that you always have trouble with Master Hou? When you come to see me, even a fool would think that you want to take me back to my natal house. What should I do if there is a disturbance that disturbs Mrs. Tai? Why didn't Master Hou take precautions?" Although Ye Xizhao It was a stern refutation, but he had to admit in his heart that in the past, when his mother came to the Hou's mansion, most of them came to visit the sick, so it was no wonder that he thought her life was unsatisfactory.

Ye Xihan became irritable, "Can't you tell me a few words of the truth? Let's talk, there is a solution to everything!"

Ye Xizhao settled down to think for a moment, and said seriously: "I didn't want to go back to my mother's house in the past, because Tang Hongxiao often went there, and I was afraid of being gossips. Lord Hou has always treated me well. Those muddled thoughts, you It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Since I married into the Hou family, I have never had any other thoughts, and I will definitely not do anything that will bring shame to the Hou family and the Xiang family!"

"..." After the silence, Ye Xihan looked at the strong tea in the cup with his eyes closed, his expression turned sad, "After all, didn't you delay your life for the glory of the prime minister? I hurt you, didn't you?" My fault, you didn't come to this point."

Ye Xizhao was annoyed at first that he didn't listen to his words, and then he became curious, "At the beginning, I thought it was Dad who made a mistake in the scheming contest, and was caught by Lord Hou. I never thought that it was you who made a mistake—— What the hell have you done?"

"...." Ye Xihan patted his forehead heavily in frustration, but had no intention of telling, "I don't want to mention that matter again. You know that I made a mistake and delayed you. When the time comes, after the incident , you don’t need to tell me, you will know.”

When Ye Xizhao heard this, he became anxious again, "What timing? You're really crazy! I told you, I'm living a very good life now, and Master Hou treats me very well, did you just ignore it?! If you are messing around, what is the point of me marrying into the Hou family for the past two years?"

Ye Xihan calmed down, and smiled gently: "In the final analysis, aren't you still doing it for the honor and disgrace of the family? Now that Dad has taken things lightly, I don't want to continue to live in fear and inferiority. Besides, it's been more than two years. The evidence has long been insufficient, and Yu Shaoheng is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Xiangfu is only charged with a minor crime."

"..."

Ye Xihan continued: "After the incident, Dad and I will resign, and our family will move back to our hometown and live in peace, wouldn't it be great? Right now you only need to make peace with Yu Shaoheng, even if he divorces you But, as long as you leave his clutches for the rest of your life."

In the previous life, Ye Xizhao heard these words from her mother, she immediately rejected them, and wrote a long letter for her mother to hand over to her father, only then dispelled her father and brother's ridiculous idea.

In the previous life, it was only the deep love between father and daughter, and it was only the time when the father would rather abandon his glory than let her continue to have no interest in life. At that time, he felt very sad.But today, after seeing through the hidden thoughts behind this, and hearing what my brother said, my mood is different.

She was so angry that she could hardly speak, her stomach convulsed, as if she had been pricked by a needle, and the pain was severe.

Ye Xizhao stood up, with strong sarcasm in his voice, "Two years of fear, you can't take it anymore, right? So 'good intentions' saved me, so you have to plead guilty under the guise of saving me, right? Times have changed, and the charges are no longer worth mentioning. You dare to contend with Lord Hou, don’t you? Stupid! Behavior of a villain!"
