Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 58

Ye Xizhao could tell that he was deliberately making her happy.She was worried that he would be depressed, so why didn't he worry that she would be troubled by the Prime Minister's affairs.

She snuggled up to him.

Yu Shaoheng tacitly stretched his arms around her figure.

Ye Xizhao talked about Lianhuapan: "You live in Lianhuapan every summer, do you want to move there this year?"

Yu Shaoheng couldn't help laughing, "Mother just mentioned this to me before I went out. I want to discuss it with you before making a decision."

Ye Xizhao said: "I will listen to you."

Yu Shaoheng nodded slightly, "Then move there."

Ye Xizhao looked up at him, "Why do you like it so much?"

"It's just getting used to it." Yu Shaoheng asked about the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Is there someone messing around in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Ye Xizhao thought for a while, "No. It's just that it's not so convenient to go in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wherever I go, there are people watching to prevent things from being brought in or out. I'm originally from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it's better anyway. If you leave someone else, you may not be able to enter the door.”

"Be patient for a few days." Yu Shaoheng comforted, "Forbear for a while, and get a long-term safe life, it's worth it."

"I understand. I'm just worried that others will take the opportunity to spare my father." Ye Xizhao didn't show his worry until now.Her father was the most impatient temper.If not, how could there have been a two-year rivalry with his son-in-law that made people laugh and cry.

"How could it be?" Yu Shaoheng patted her on the shoulder, "The investigators are not stupid, how could they fail to see that the emperor does not doubt the prime minister. If the emperor is really angry, the prime minister's mansion has already been confiscated, and the prime minister and your elder brother even returned With us, we would have been thrown into prison long ago. Just rest assured."

Only then did Ye Xizhao smile peacefully.Some things are just like this now, even though she already knew it in her heart, she still needs to hear him tell her so that she can feel at ease.

Back at the Hou Mansion, when Ye Xizhao was changing clothes, he heard from Zhi Lan that Mr. Wei, who had been teaching Yu Shaoyun for a year, had arrived at the Xiang Mansion and had already lived in the other courtyard in the west city of the Hou Mansion.When she went to Mrs. Tai's room with Yu Shaoheng, she asked, "Why did Mr. Wei come to the capital? Did you specially invite him here?"

Yu Shaoheng acquiesced, and explained: "I was worried that Shaoyun would still be stubborn when she came back, and Mr. Wei can indeed control her. Besides, she is not young anymore, and it would not look good to send her out of the capital, so I wrote to ask Mr. Wei to come over." gone."

Now that Mr. Wei came over, it was just in time.

Yu Shaoheng said again: "When you are free some other day, you might as well go see Mr. Wei."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said good-bye, and then asked: "I still don't know, where did you find Mr. Wei?" She got some vague impressions of Mr. Wei before, through gossiping with Yu Shaoyun and Mrs. Tai.All I know is that she is a woman in her late thirties who spends her days teaching some ladies to earn money.

"If we want to find this kind of person, we need Xiao Xun's help."

Only then did Ye Xizhao feel relieved, and then he thought that he would be a little annoyed when he mentioned Xiao Xun, so he changed the subject.

Entering Mrs. Tai's room, Mrs. Tai swept away Ye Xizhao's joy and kindness before he went to the prime minister's mansion, and sat on the big kang, frowning.

This is obviously because he has already learned about Yu Shaoyun.

The second wife, Yu Shaoqian, and Yu Shaohuan were all puzzled and worried.

Yu Shaoyun didn't show up.

After going forward to salute, Yu Shaoheng said: "Go back to your room first, I have something to say with my mother."

Ye Xizhao and the second wife said goodbye.

That night, Yu Shaoheng did not return to the main room.I only heard early the next morning that last night he talked with Mrs. Tai until late at night, worried that it was too late, so he took a rest in Mrs. Tai's room.

And when Ye Xizhao was about to go to pay his respects, he heard that Madam Tai had sent Yu Shaoyun to the other courtyard in Xicheng with Yu Shaoheng instead of today's morning and evening appointment.The intention is obvious, to let Mr. Wei continue to teach Yu Shaoyun.

Yu Shaoheng ordered Chang'an to send a message to Ye Xizhao, asking her to go on, and the two of them moved to live by the Lotus from now on.

The maid in the main room got busy and went to the lotus first.Clean up the upstairs and downstairs to be spotless, and send the daily necessities of the husband and wife to the lotus one by one.

The second lady had the doubts from last night, originally she wanted to ask Ye Xizhao if she knew about it, but seeing that the main room was so busy, she let it go for now.Later, when I thought about it, I realized that something big was about to happen.In this way, she gave up the idea of ​​asking anyone.Since it's a big event, no matter it's good or bad, it's better to know about it when it's about to happen than to know about it first.

On Ye Xizhao's side, while waiting for his servants to finish moving the necessary things, he looked at the recipe for the Dragon Boat Festival drawn up by the kitchen.According to this situation, the Hou Mansion, which has always been quiet, is even more dispensable for this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

The Hou's mansion was undercurrents, and the Xiang's mansion was caught in turmoil on the bright side... She frowned, really thinking about where she was troubled.He ordered people to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about the news, but they went quickly and came back even faster, saying that the Prime Minister's Mansion was guarded and no one was allowed to enter or leave.She went back to Xiangfu for no reason, no matter how disturbed she was, she had to endure it.

Yu Shaoheng sat on the bamboo chair under the grape arbor in the other courtyard, his eyes closed in thought, a glass of wine in his hand, and he didn't touch his lips for a long time.

Yu Shaoyun tiptoed over, put a folding fan on the low table beside Yu Shaoheng, and was about to go back to the room.

"Stop." Yu Shaoheng called to her.

"Oh." Yu Shaoyun stood obediently, "Mother is tired, I took a break from serving, come and see what you are short of."

Yu Shaoheng nodded slightly, "Tell me a few words."

"Okay." Yu Shaoyun moved a chair and sat opposite him.

"You told mother about this, which means that I can no longer plan anything for you." Yu Shaoheng said in a helpless tone.

"I know." Yu Shaoyun timidly raised his eyes and stared at Yu Shaoheng, "I just want to stop worrying you. If there are changes in the palace in the future, it is a good thing that I don't need to enter the palace; It is also a good thing that I enter the palace."

Yu Shaoheng smiled wryly, "In your opinion, everything is fine, but what about you?"

Yu Shaoyun thought for a while, and replied tactfully: "No matter what, I will remember whose daughter and sister I am, and will try my best to live well."

Yu Shaoheng frowned, "Do you really not understand what I mean? What do you think of yourself?"

"Being what? Just being a human being." Yu Shaoyun's voice lowered, "Why is life still the same."

"..." Yu Shaoheng raised his eyebrows. He was also aware of the problem that Ye Xizhao was aware of before, but it was difficult to ask.

But Yu Shaoyun had already guessed his mood, and narrowed his eyes, he said: "After all, didn't father have two concubines when he was alive? After the two aunts passed away one after another, mother had to teach the second brother and the third brother carefully. Ordinary men are wives and concubines. Crowds, how many people like you and my second brother are in the capital? But didn’t you forcefully snatch my sister-in-law into your home? In contrast, my second sister-in-law is the most blessed. I found a good match. Don't mention my third brother, he will marry again in a while. What's the meaning of the so-called marriage? The so-called wishful man, you can't find it—don't save this for me It’s an extravagant hope, and I didn’t expect it myself.”

"...." Yu Shaoheng was not speechless, but as Yu Shaoyun's elder brother, it was not appropriate to say anything.He was angry and laughing in his heart, but in the eyes of his sister, he was just a living robber.

Yu Shaoyun's small body was sitting more and more upright, and there was more guard in his eyes, "I know you don't like to hear it, but I have to say what I have to say-with my mother and my master here, you are not allowed to do anything, and I will cry to you if I do." look."

Yu Shaoheng couldn't help laughing.

Yu Shaoyun relaxed a little, and continued the previous topic: "Isn't it great for a daughter's family to think as I do? Besides, other families have sharpened their heads and sent their daughters to the palace or high-ranking officials. Why do you and mother worry about your side?" Having said this, he took a long breath, "I will explain everything to you, so don't worry about me anymore. In the future, I will fight for you even if I don't care about anyone. One breath."

For the first time, Yu Shaoheng stared at Yu Shaoyun carefully, without any annoyance, trying to see whether what she said was true or false.

Yu Shaoyun met his gaze calmly, smiled sweetly, without any trace of sadness.

After a while, Yu Shaoheng looked down at the wine glass in his hand, put it to his lips and drank it up, and when he spoke again, his voice added a touch of loneliness, "You have grown up, but I didn't know until now."

"Originally, it's just that you still treat me like a child." Yu Shaoyun blinked playfully again, "I'm afraid of you, I'm annoyed, I know you are kind."

Yu Shaoheng smiled and pondered for a moment, "Sending you here is just to show you that you are sick. It will take some time before you can be picked up. Do you have any wishes?"

Yu Shaoyun thought about it seriously for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes. Come and see me if you have nothing to do with sister-in-law. I just hope that in the future I will no longer be afraid of you—I always feel that if I am not afraid of you anymore, I will There will be nothing to be afraid of.”

When Yu Shaoheng heard this, he felt very sad, but his face remained calm, and he asked, "What you said is beyond words, do you regard me as the king of Hades?"

"It's not the King of Hades," Yu Shaoyun let out a crisp laugh, "it's the King of Hades."

Yu Shaoheng smiled and replied, "I promise you."

Ye Xizhao walked into the small building by the lotus, turned upstairs, and as far as he could see, the furnishings and decorations were all in light and pleasant colors.

Outside the carved wooden door of the upper hall is a corridor, and facing the wooden door are bamboo tables and chairs. Looking outside, you can see a lake with clear blue waves; looking west, you can see patches of lotus flowers and willows on the bank; Terraces and pavilions, flowers are red and willows are green.

If we only talk about the scenery, this place is undoubtedly the best, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.Ye Xizhao admired it for a long time, and then turned back to the room to familiarize himself with the furnishings.

There is nothing cumbersome about the interior furnishings, even though she has added a lot of things she usually needs, it still looks too simple and tough.There is no way, Yu Shaoheng has lived alone for too long, and it will take time to change it into a homely atmosphere.

What pleased Ye Xizhao the most was that the room was not as humid and stuffy as she imagined. On the contrary, the room was very cool with the constant wind blowing from the hall, and the fragrance of lotus flowers and flowers and grasses dissolved in the wind was very pleasant.

Before she knew it, her mood became much clearer, and then she sat in front of the desk in the hall and checked some accounts with Xia He.

At dusk, Yu Shaoheng and Mrs. Tai had not returned yet.

Ye Xizhao finished eating alone, and waited for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, he took a bath first, because he didn't have time to take a nap during the day, so he took a rest first.

What woke her up was the sound of thunder from the sky.Sitting up in a daze, under the flickering light, he went outside and poured himself a glass of water.

She raised her voice and asked the maid who was on duty downstairs, and learned that Mrs. Tai returned to the mansion before the storm, and she had already rested at this time.Yu Shaoheng didn't come back, and he didn't know where he went.

Ye Xizhao guessed that he probably went to Xiao Xun's house, drank the water, and went back to bed.He wanted to fall asleep, but the endless thunderclaps disturbed his heart.Not to mention the light sleep, even people who sleep soundly will be awakened and unable to fall asleep.

She wrapped herself in a thin blanket and waited quietly for the thunder to subside.

In the middle of the night, he finally felt tired, but hearing that the rain was getting heavier, he couldn't help worrying about what Yu Shaoheng was going to do, and whether he would get drenched all over.

Amidst such complex emotions, time becomes difficult to pass, and the long night becomes very long.

Ye Xizhao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar tall figure flashing across the screen, got up and got off the ground, took the pajamas and walked towards him, "Why did you just come back?"

"I'm delayed." Yu Shaoheng took the pajamas.

When Ye Xizhao was talking, he smelled the smell of wine, and touched his clothes with his hand. Half of the clothes were dripping wet, and he became angry, "Going to drink if I have something to do? Drinking is fine, why did you get soaked?" so?"

"Small matter." Yu Shaoheng patted her face, then took off his robe.

"Small matter?" Ye Xizhao raised his eyebrows, "I was worried about how you came back, and you really came back just like you did! You just moved here today, and you didn't come back until this time!" As he spoke, he reached out and snatched back the pajamas, "Don't care about you, call someone to freshen up!"

Yu Shaoheng couldn't help being surprised by her scolding, "Are you angry?"

"Who wants to be angry with you!" Ye Xizhao tugged at his sleeve again, let out a sigh of relief, and threw the pajamas to him again, "How old are you? You know everything, but you don't know how to take care of yourself." !" Later, seeing that he was still standing there, he pushed him angrily, and his voice was slightly higher, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and take a bath!"

Yu Shaoheng took off his shirt slowly, and then he stretched out his arms and took her into his arms, "It's just a little rain, what are you in a hurry for?"

Ye Xizhao pushed him away angrily, "You can do whatever you want, I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep first."

Yu Shaoheng laughed, took her into his arms again, held her face in his arms, and kissed her.

"Annoying!" Ye Xizhao wished he could wrinkle his nose, raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, looking very disgusted.

Yu Shaoheng let out a pleasant laugh, and then took an inch and sucked her lips.

While pushing him, Ye Xizhao wanted to bite him fiercely.

But Yu Shaoheng had expected it a long time ago, and avoided it.

Ye Xizhao stared at him fiercely with his big eyes, and after a while, he smiled recklessly, and his tone softened, "I'm afraid you will be successful? Stop making trouble."

"You can only ask Xiao Xun about the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shaoyun. He is a drunkard, and he will only tell you the truth if you have a few drinks with him." After Yu Shaoheng explained in a warm voice, he hugged her horizontally and lifted her Put it on the bed, "Why are you so angry?"

"No way." Ye Xizhao didn't bother to talk about how he passed the night, and now he just wanted to calm things down, "I caused trouble for nothing, can I make an apology to you?" As he spoke, he turned his face to the side and covered his mouth and yawned.

Yu Shaoheng asked: "Could it be that you haven't slept yet?"

"Do you tube."

Yu Shaoheng's voice was infused with an indescribable tenderness, "Are you afraid or worried about me?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Will you tell me?" Yu Shaoheng put his hand on the place where she was most ticklish, and threatened her with a smile.

Ye Xizhao patted his hand again and again, couldn't help laughing, and then had to admit: "It's all a little bit, okay?"

Yu Shaoheng leaned over her figure, and slipped his hands into her clothes nonchalantly, "It turned out that I was wrong, which made you sleepless all night."

His hands were wet with rain, bringing a cool touch, making her body tighten, and she said angrily: "Can you go take a bath first? I will ignore you if you are sick tomorrow!"

"Either you go with me, or let me apologize first."

Ye Xizhao rolled his eyes at him angrily and with a smile, "Are you playing drunk with me?"

"You can think so." Yu Shaoheng's voice was gentle and lazy, "I miss you."

At this time, Xia He reported at the stairs: "Master Hou—"

"Say!" Yu Shaoheng was in a bad mood, and his tone was even worse.

Xia He relied on his courage to report: "Chang'an came to send a message, saying that Mr. Xiao is asking to see him, and he has something important to tell Lord Hou."

"Let him—" Yu Shaoheng really wanted to say let him die, but he tried his best to restrain himself before changing the subject, "Let him go to the second master! I'm seriously ill and I don't see any customers!"

"Yes." Xia He turned and went downstairs.

Yu Shaoheng leaned over to ask for a kiss again.

Ye Xizhao looked away, and threatened angrily: "Yu Shaoheng, if you dare to touch me again, I will let you stay alone in the empty room for a month!"

Yu Shaoheng smiled wryly and clarified for himself: "Xiao Xun's coming here has nothing to do with me."

"You were with him in the first half of the night, and he came to the Hou's mansion in the second half of the night - so inseparable, it's better to live together!"

Yu Shaoheng laughed when he heard the words, "Qiao An also told Xiao Xun in front of me."

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Ye Xizhao asked while laughing, "How could Qiao An be so miserable."

"Xiao Xun and Qiao An—" Yu Shaoheng thought for a while, and came to the conclusion, "It's really hard to say who will suffer more." Then he took off his clothes and covered her exquisite body.

Before Ye Xizhao fell asleep, he knew that he would never be able to pay his respects on time, so he reminded him: "You must pick me up when the time comes, or find a reason for me."

"Just sleep peacefully." Yu Shaoheng said, "It will take two days before we need to settle down in the morning and evening. My mother is not in good spirits, so she is too lazy to deal with us."

Only then did Ye Xizhao feel relieved, and then it occurred to him that anyone can find an excuse to not meet people, but he couldn't.If he hadn't lied to Yu Shaoyun now, he would still go to the court early in the morning and go to the Ministry of War as usual.Then she felt sorry for him again, and snuggled into his arms, "Since that's the case, you should take a good rest, and you should be busy as usual in two days."

"En." Yu Shaoheng's eyes were full of gentle ripples.Maybe she didn't even realize that she blamed him more and more, and the reasons became more and more insignificant. Even if he inadvertently neglected her, it would make her upset and dissatisfied.

"What does this mean? When can you tell me yourself?" He asked softly when she fell into a dream.

But Ye Xizhao couldn't hear it, his sleeping face was still calm, and there was still a quiet smile on his lips.

It took two days for Mrs. Tai to digest Yu Shaoyun's matter, and when she saw Ye Xizhao and the second wife again, she was still kind and gentle as usual, but she started to lose interest in many things.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Tai saw that Ye Xizhao was familiar with all things and was really dedicated to doing things, so she asked Ye Xizhao to officially host Zhongfu. Burn a stick of incense in the temple and pray with great concentration, or go to a friend's house as a guest, or entertain some guests at home to watch a play or play bridge.

In this way, Ye Xizhao almost didn't even have time to do embroidery in daily life, and it took more than ten years to get used to it.It was only on this day that I realized that the ten-day deadline given by the emperor for the impeachment of the prime minister had already passed. Why hasn't anyone heard of the result yet?
Yu Shaoheng began to devote himself to government affairs after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Xun went to see him more and more times. He looked really busy, and he often went back to his room after she fell asleep, and he left before she woke up.

When it was almost noon that day, Ye Xizhao was thinking about asking someone to go to the prime minister's mansion to inquire about the situation, when Zhilan walked in and reported: "Madam, the uncle is here, I have something to tell you."

Ye Xizhao hurriedly turned to the corridor and saw Ye Xihan walking towards the small building, knowing that the matter had come to an end, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and have some tea, I'll go downstairs right now."
