Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 151

February is coming to an end, pear blossoms are like snow, willows are like smoke, and the spring breeze is full of endless gentleness, wandering freely.

This morning, Ye Xizhao and the third wife went to the second wife's room, enjoying refreshments and discussing sister Han's full moon wine.

The second lady laughed and said: "Just invite the relatives and friends who were baptized on the day of the third ceremony, and set up three or five tables of banquets."

The third lady disagreed, and said with a smile: "In my opinion, you can do whatever you want with the full moon wine. When brother Hao is full moon, he also follows the previous practice in the mansion." As he spoke, he thought of Sister Xin, and looked at it. Looking at Ye Xizhao, he said again, "If there is a special case, it's our sister Xin. At that time, my sister-in-law was still outside and she couldn't come back. No one could do anything about it."

The second lady nodded, "I know this, but at this moment, let's keep everything simple."

"What's the point?" The third lady thought to herself that I just said this in a vague way, why can't this person understand?Pursing her lips, she said again, "Master Hou, Second Master, and Third Master, everything is as usual. Mrs. Tai also goes out and walks as usual in her spare time, and everything in the inner house should be as usual."

After all, the second lady was uneasy because of what she heard, and she looked at Ye Xizhao for help, "You should ask Mrs. Tai and Lord Hou about this matter?"

Ye Xizhao smiled and hugged Sister Han, and said softly: "Although our Sister Han is still young, we shouldn't wrong her." Then he answered the Second Madam, "Mrs. It's over, let the three of us discuss everything. When Master Hou is free, he will occasionally take care of the inner house, but right now he is a bit busy."

Tell the second wife tactfully that this matter is according to the third wife's opinion.There is really no need to be cautious these days.This is also the matter of the second house. If the matter of the long house is changed, according to Yu Shaoheng's temperament, maybe he will handle it with great fanfare-she knows his temperament very well now.In the end, knowing that it doesn't matter if he is regarded as a courtier by the emperor, what else would he care about?
The second wife said again: "Then... sister-in-law, can you allow me to discuss with the second master before making a decision?"

Ye Xizhao laughed.

The third lady rubbed her forehead, "I said, second sister-in-law, you are too virtuous, it is a matter of course, why do you still want your husband to be your wife's guide? If sister-in-law has your temper, then Lord Hou will be busy, busy outside All day long, when I come back, I will help you decide everything.”

The second lady said cryptically: "But it's impossible not to ask your husband about everything."

The third lady could hear the deep meaning in the second lady's words, and smiled helplessly, "I know what you mean, I can do whatever people say or think about my things, and I won't deny it. It's natural to do something without telling my husband. Isn't that right, but is the matter of the full moon wine the same thing as my previous mistakes?"

The second lady didn't expect the third lady to face her past mistakes so calmly, she felt a little embarrassed for a while, after thinking for a while, she understood, "I'll listen to you."

"That's good." Ye Xizhao said with a smile, "My third sibling and I have ordered the needleworkers to make clothes for you and Sister Han, and they will send them over tomorrow. By then, you will all be well-dressed." It is."

The second lady smiled and thanked.

The third wife said: "After Sister Han's full moon wine, the second sister-in-law and I will start helping the elder sister-in-law."

"I remember it." The second lady said angrily, "Do you have to come over and mention it once?"

The third lady laughed jokingly.

Ye Xizhao and the third wife stayed for a while, got up to say their speeches, and went to the flower hall.

On the way, Ye Xizhao said with a smile: "In the future, don't be serious with your second sibling. She has a meek temperament, so she breaks the words into pieces."

The third lady nodded first, and then said: "I just think that sometimes she has no backbone, so I just want to tease her. Speaking of which, the matter of the inner house used to be discussed with the wife, but now it is discussed with the sister-in-law. It always alarms the masters." It’s really unnecessary—they have to take care of everything, so what else do we need?”

Ye Xizhao nodded and smiled in agreement.

The second wife is different from her and the third wife. She tries not to let Yu Shaoheng care about the affairs of the inner house. First, she doesn't want the husband and wife to be criticized, and second, to avoid disagreement between the husband and wife, causing one of them to change the order day and night.

In fact, the third lady also has to be strong-tempered, not to mention the inner house, but the outside matter. In the past, Yu Shaohuan was kept a secret from Yu Shaohuan. Now it has changed a lot, but her attitude towards the house and the inner house is naturally the same as before.

At noon, when Yu Shaoheng came back, Ye Xizhao was sitting in front of the desk in the dormitory, concentrating on painting.On the side table, there are sour bamboo shoots and spicy cakes.

He laughed when he saw the two dishes, leaned over, took the paintbrush from her hand, and held her face for a kiss.

"Hmm..." Ye Xizhao didn't notice him coming in, so he was a little surprised and annoyed at the moment, so he clenched his hands into fists and beat his chest twice.Afterwards, as he continued to conquer the city, his figure gradually weakened.

It took a long time before Yu Shaoheng let her go, "It's sour and spicy at the same time." His hand brushed her abdomen, and his voice became very gentle, "This child is too naughty."

Ye Xizhao then laughed, "Yeah, I want to eat this and that for a few days, sister Xin never did that at the time."

Immediately, Yu Shaoheng blamed again: "It's nothing, just read the book and enjoy the flowers, don't do things that consume your mind."

"The mood is very peaceful when painting," Ye Xizhao stood up, "Don't worry about me, I know it well."

Yu Shaoheng had no choice but to let go of her, "Don't sit still for a long time."

"It's been a long time, Xia He and the others will remind me." Ye Xizhao touched his cheek, "Go and wash your face, I'll order someone to pass the meal."

"it is good."

During the meal, Sister Xin walked in with her nurse, and ran to Yu Shaoheng with a smile, "Daddy! Daddy is back!"

"Miss Daddy?" Yu Shaoheng pinched Sister Xin's little nose, and hugged her on his lap.

"I want to! I miss my father!" Sister Xin took the initiative to hook Yu Shaoheng's neck, stood up and kissed him on the cheek, then sat down obediently, and looked at Ye Xizhao again, "Well, I miss my mother too."

Ye Xizhao smiled, "Where did you go this morning?" Mrs. Tai took Miss Xin to Jing's house this morning, she knew about it, but she just wanted to talk more with Xin.

Sister Xin blinked her big eyes, and replied in a childlike voice: "Go to Aunt Jing, to see the little goldfish."

The daughter answered clearly, which made Ye Xizhao even more happy, "Then do you know how many goldfish there are?"

Sister Xin thought for a while, "Aunt Jing said, yes, three things." Then she asked, "Go tomorrow, mother will take me there."

"No." Yu Shaoheng said with a smile, "Mother will not be able to go out for a while, if you still want to go, go and talk to grandma."

Sister Xin was a little disappointed, and then asked: "What's wrong with Mother?" She didn't understand why Mother couldn't go out.

Yu Shaoheng told her: "Mother is not feeling well."

"Oh." Sister Xin looked at Ye Xizhao with worried eyes, "Do you want to drink medicine?"

"No need." Ye Xizhao was a little moved, "Just rest for a while."

Only then did Sister Xin feel relieved.

Yu Shaoheng took Sister Xin's small bowl and let her drink a few sips of soup before feeding her vegetables and porridge.

After eating and putting Xin's son to take a nap, he returned to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and said, "Wang Kang and Jing Zhiran will get married at the end of March."

"So fast?" Ye Xizhao was surprised by Kang Wang's eagerness.

Yu Shaoheng nodded, and added another sentence to make her feel more at ease: "It seems that he has sincerity."

Ye Xizhao thought about it, and it was true.The decree of the marriage has been made, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing it, but King Kang is still so eager, which is naturally caused by consideration of gains and losses.From this he smiled and said, "This is the best."

Kang Wang, who was mentioned by the two, was in Yu Shaoyun's palace at this time, and was talking to Yu Shaoyun about his appointment. After reporting all the valuables, he asked with a smile: "Is the emperor's sister-in-law thinking that you are ready?"

Yu Shaoyun couldn't help rubbing his forehead, "You have the queen mother and me to help you. No matter how many and expensive things are, it is reasonable, but you have to think about the Jing family-the battle you made is simply not good. If you marry the princess, it will embarrass the Jing family, and you can't marry a prostitute and waste the family's wealth."

Kang Wang opened his beautiful eyes and asked helplessly, "Then what should I do?"

Yu Shaoyun became more and more helpless, "What do you come to discuss with me? It is the right way to discuss with the Jing family. What can I say about this kind of thing?"

"But the emperor's wife is the lord of the six palaces," Kang Wang said sadly, "isn't this kind of thing a trivial matter for the emperor's wife?"

Yu Shaoyun glared at him, "I'm in charge of the Sixth Palace, and you're not from the palace."

Kang Wang twitched the corners of his mouth in frustration, and thought for a while, "I'll go to my mother to discuss it later, and let her make the decision for me."

Yu Shaoyun smiled, "I have to ask around for such trivial matters - Concubine Kang will be blessed in the future."

"It should." Kang Wang showed a big smile.

"Okay, go and trouble the empress dowager." Yu Shaoyun smiled and served tea to see off the guests, and then turned to the imperial garden.

Recently, she deliberately developed the habit of going to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers every afternoon, because she could always meet Zhong Liye.

If she had a little tolerance for him before, after he took back the military power, she would no longer care about the last sliver of love between husband and wife in her heart.

She has lived in the palace for a long time, and she has learned a lot about his handling of government affairs, and gradually understands that as long as it is about military, political and military power, he cannot do without Yu Shaoheng's help.

A born good general who governs the world, if he is on the battlefield, he must understand the strengths and weaknesses of each general under his command, and he must also have the way to control people and use troops.If you are in the court, you must know the terrain of every place in the vast territory, and know the strengths of every person who holds military power. Only by adding the two together can you dispatch the generals to the most suitable place to guard, so as to ensure safety.

Yu Shaoyun can be sure that if anyone asks about a place intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Shaoheng can immediately answer the terrain, and understand the people's conditions during and after the war there; Whether a person is good at attacking or defending the city, tell me whether that person has slackened or improved in recent years.

Originally, Zhong Liye was a wise man, and seeing that Yu Shaoheng was an unparalleled military genius, he tried his best to reuse and trust Yu Shaoheng.Originally, Yu Shaoheng had never failed Zhong Liye's trust. He quelled wars and chaos in the flames of war time and time again, causing the world to be peaceful after several turbulences.

But now, Zhong Liye didn't know why, he could no longer trust Yu Shaoheng, and was afraid of the Yu family's power in every possible way.Therefore, he began to try to control the military power by himself.

This actually made Yu Shaoyun dumbfounded.

The so-called military power and military orders, to soldiers, are nothing more than what the hearts of the people aspire to, not something to put on the surface.

Why didn't he think about it, what was the reason why Yu Shaoheng used the shortest time to pacify Mobei and the Western Regions, and made unmatched military exploits?It was because of how many soldiers were loyal to Yu Shaoheng, how many soldiers believed in the commander, and their morale was so high that no one else could do this.

Before the war broke out, it was Yu Shaoheng who gave the most complete set of plans for deploying generals, which led to the grand occasion of the generals working together during the war.

Naturally, Yu Shaoyun would not ignore Zhong Liye's role.He spent sleepless nights studying the plan given by Yu Shaoheng, deliberated over and over again, and then personally wrote to all the generals who would be reused in wartime, so that he could move Yu Shaoheng's plan into reality step by step.Without such an unconditional trusting emperor, no matter how good Yu Shaoheng is, he would be useless.

She has always thought this way - the emperor is not necessarily more talented than anyone else, he just sits on the dragon chair because of the highest background, whether it is a wise king or a foolish king, it all depends on personal qualifications.

In terms of ruthlessness, Zhong Liye can't compare to Xiao Xun; when it comes to military affairs, Zhong Liye can't compare to Yu Shaoheng.These, in the past, she thought were quite normal, as long as Zhong Liye trusted these two people as before, as long as Zhong Liye was diligent and caring for the people as before, he would still be a rare wise king.

But now, he made a mistake that many emperors would make in historical data, fearing important ministers, and trying to suppress Zhongliang.

How many emperors began to eradicate famous generals and loyal ministers one by one after the prosperity and stability, and some famous generals and loyal ministers even ended up in a tragic end with their heads wrapped in straw mats. How many years after their death could they be redressed—but what else? significance?The historical data remember it, the common people remember it, but those involved have turned into dust.

Yu Shaoheng knew this well, and so did Yu Shaoyun.Because she is from the Yu family, when Mr. Wei taught her, he did not shy away from talking about these things.

Now, there are two brothers and sisters, one is in the harem and the other is in the court, seeing Zhong Liye's changes little by little, how can he not be vigilant.Some things have already been imagined.So now, it's just a decision.

Yu Shaoheng, Xiao Xun, and she couldn't gamble with the lives of their close relatives, and they couldn't let Zhong Liye's will to suppress or even eradicate them.

In fact, Yu Shaoyun thought, Zhong Liye was spoiled by so many people, so he didn't understand a truth——

As a minister, it is difficult to be loyal and good, but it is easy to be a courtier.

Especially people like Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun, they are really living in this world, what they really want is not to be famous for a long time, not to be rich, but for the people they care about because their lives are safe and comfortable.They are not afraid of death, but the death of someone they care about is their worst nightmare.

There is nothing they can't give and can't do in order to keep the nightmare from coming true.

The same is true for her, Yu Shaoyun.

She has lived all these years, and the only thing that has never let her down is family affection.As for the love between a man and a woman, she never expects it.I really got it, and then I have to face real disappointment.That being the case, it is also simple for her, just go back to the original point.

Now that Zhong Liye has fallen into the imperial power and has been emptied, and has no one to trust, it is actually a reasonable thing.

Seeing Zhong Liye's figure from a distance, Yu Shaoyun thought jokingly: It's not fun to offend my natal family and me, now he understands, right?

Confronting the empress, or even abolishing the empress, has been done by emperors before, but there are also emperors who have become puppets because of it.What happens to Zhong Liye in the future depends entirely on him.

Yu Shaoyun walked over slowly, and said in a warm voice: "The emperor seems to have lost a lot."

Zhong Liye smiled, "The queen has become more and more virtuous recently, and she comes here every day to greet her."

"No matter what, the concubine must not forget his duty." Yu Shaoyun suggested, "If the emperor is depressed, it is better to talk to the queen mother."

Zhong Liye said frankly: "I want to go, but Kang Wang has been here so often recently, I don't have a deep relationship with him, it's better not to see each other." Then he took a deep look at her, "You look good, so I can rest assured Otherwise, I really have no time to take care of you."

When the time comes, he will not show his embarrassed side in front of anyone, and he will not show it if he has a lot of thoughts in his heart.This is the best way, at least, it won't make her look down on him bit by bit from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't worry, your majesty, although your concubine is incompetent, she still has the ability to protect herself well." Yu Shaoyun smiled sweetly, "Your majesty, don't just care about others, but find a considerate person to ease your mood—the emperor once mentioned Shu There are quite a few concubines and sisters, why don't you order someone to go and have a look and choose one or two to enter the palace."

During these days, he only set foot in the Golden Palace, the Palace of Mental Cultivation, and the Royal Garden.The Empress Dowager was well aware of the turmoil in the past, but she never took the initiative to look for him, but told her to find a caring person to take care of him.

That's right, at this point, even King Kang is following along to join in the fun, so what can the Queen Mother do?I can only let my son get out of the depressed mood as soon as possible, and make plans for other things in the future.

In the past, Yu Shaoyun was really reluctant to do this kind of thing, but now he has completely taken it for fun.Even if she gave birth to the child in her womb in the future, she would no longer want to see him go to sleep in her palace.The love is gone, sharing the same bed again is no less than being punished, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

Zhong Liye just looked at her quietly without answering.

Yu Shaoyun had no choice but to add: "This is also what the queen mother meant."

Zhong Liye showed a sad smile, and gently brushed the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows with his gesture, "I still regard you as a pillow wife, but who do you regard me as now?"

Yu Shaoyun laughed in surprise.

The first thing she thought of was that he was going to use her again when he had nothing to do.Was it to coax her back to the state where she was full of thoughts about him, and then go to persuade elder brother and Xiao Xun to turn back?

how can that be possible?Some things, there is no turning back.Especially, facing a man like him.Turning back, there is only one dead end, and even faster death.
