Ye Ningyu whispered instructions to Fang Yanqing, and Fang Yanqing listened. The more he listened, the more he felt that this matter was not trivial, but he didn't ask anything, just wrote down everything. "You go and finish the things, and come back immediately. On the way

If you walk faster, you can still come back in time to celebrate the New Year."

Fang Yanqing didn't expect that the eldest girl was still thinking about him celebrating the New Year, and he felt a little moved in his heart. "Yes. This time, will my subordinates still bring dead soldiers?"

Ye Ningyu shook his head. This mission is not extremely dangerous. There is no need to bring dead soldiers. "I will ask Guard Xiao to give you ten people. In addition, you can bring Xiao Wu with you to train him."

After saying that, Ye Ningyu suddenly thought of something. "As soon as you leave, just give an order to the spies staying in Prince Yong's Mansion these days and tell them to report the news directly to me."

"yes."

Fang Yanqing felt relieved. After leaving Qiushuiyuan, he asked Butler Fang to tell him about his itinerary. He then gave some instructions, then secretly counted the number of people, disguised himself along the way, and quickly left the metropolis overnight. On the other side,

Prince Yong's Mansion. Prince Yong was sitting in the study, and two counselors, Wu Wenmao and Zhang Guangda, were sitting on one side. The tea on the table in front of them was already a little cold, and they had been sitting here for a long time. Wu Wenmao had two big cups in his hands.

Walnut, with a confident expression on his face, said, "Your Highness, I don't think Your Highness needs to worry too much about this matter. As I just said, Zhang Shaojie has a grudge against the Ye family, so the Ye family must be more worried than Your Highness at this time."

Zhang Guangda also agreed, "If King Rui comes back, I think the one who will be most uneasy now is not us, but the Lord Jinwen."

The first time he heard someone call Ye Ningyu the title of Lord of Jinwen County, King Yong was still a little uncomfortable. After a moment, he calmed down and looked at the ground, still frowning. Yes, who is most afraid of the prince now?

, but it was not him, but Ye Ningyu. The prince still regarded himself as his biological brother, but he regarded Ye Ningyu as his enemy. Thinking of this, King Yong felt much more comfortable. A few days ago, because of Sun Mengyao's matter,

, he was already very humble in front of Ye Ningyu. If he went to Ye Ningyu for advice now, he would not lower his status. Thinking of this, King Yong raised his head and happened to see Wu Wenmao's somewhat awkward eyes. He

Suddenly he realized that there were two counselors in Prince Yong's Mansion, but he had to turn to Ye Ningyu for everything. Now, he summoned them to discuss how to persuade Ye Ningyu to make suggestions for him. Whoever it was, he would probably have the same feeling in his heart.

Awkward. King Yong coughed a few times and said, "Mr. Wu, Guangda, you two should think about it again. We can't place all our hopes on Ye Ningyu. It would be great if she could come up with a solution for me.

She is also helpless, I, the king, and you two are here."

Sure enough, Wu Wenmao's face became much better as soon as he said this. "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

Wu Wenmao stood up quickly to express his loyalty. Zhang Guangda also stood up and saluted when he saw this. After the three masters and servants finished speaking, it was getting late, and King Yong went to Sun Mengyao's Ningxiang Courtyard. Sun Mengyao was eating and drinking well at King Yong's house these days.

She was raised on the ground and could often see King Yong. Sun Mengyao felt that King Yong's attitude towards her was much better than before, and she was in a very happy mood. In addition, she was pregnant, and her food intake increased greatly, so she did not eat less every day.

In just a few days, Sun Mengyao's face has become much rounder at a speed visible to the naked eye. Originally, Sun Mengyao was not particularly beautiful. She could only be said to have dignified and comely features. Now she has more flesh on her cheeks, which makes her rounder and fairer than usual.

, she looked charming and cute. King Yong often came to see her, but he only cared about the child in her belly. But after getting along with her for the past few days, seeing Sun Mengyao being attentive and flattering to him in every possible way, he remembered what he had done in front of Ye Ningyu before.

, but he was always trying to please him in every possible way, and couldn't help but feel that he was not worth it. He felt more and more that not marrying Ye Ningyu didn't seem to be a bad thing. With a woman like Sun Mengyao by his side, as a man, his instinctive competitiveness made him

The more he looked at Sun Mengyao, the more pleasing he became. In the evening, King Yong received another letter from Ye Ningyu. In the letter, Ye Ningyu told him that Zhang Shaojie had already heard about Zhang Shaojie's intention to persuade His Majesty to let King Rui return, and now she was thinking about it.

There was a way to plan, so King Yong didn't have to worry. King Yong burned the letter and realized that Ye Ningyu really didn't bear any grudge against him, and still thought about himself all the time. So, he slept contentedly. More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the past, every year on this day, the female family members of the Ye family would be taken by the Jiang family to Huayan Temple in the western suburbs to offer incense. This year was no exception. Early in the morning, the three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family took the

He took the girls from each room, hitched up several carriages, and set off from Ye Mansion to Huayan Temple. Guard Xiao personally led more than 20 people to accompany him. In previous years, Ye Ningyu didn't like to come. This year, she looked at her mother.

His mood had become worse and worse in the past few days. Knowing that Jiang was thinking about his father again, he thought about accompanying his mother to relax. The three girls from the Jiang family had never been to Huayan Temple, so naturally they wanted to join in the fun. The carriage of the Ye family was there.

The temple gate stopped and a group of people walked into the temple. Ye Ningyu and Jiang Manqing supported Jiang, Ye Ningxi supported Duan, Ye Ningdong supported Meng, and the other girls followed behind. The group had just left.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, they saw a group of people on the road ahead, slowly going up the mountain. Ye Ningyu recognized the back of one of them, and she called out, "Sister Gu!"

The figure in front turned back, with a very pretty face, but there was a hint of maturity between the eyebrows than Ye Ningyu's sisters. The person who turned back was none other than Gu Zhen'er, the legitimate daughter of the late General Gu Hong. Seeing Ye Ningyu calling him,

Gu Zhen'er and his party also stopped, deliberately waiting for them. The Ye family members quickened their pace and walked to the Gu family, only to find that there were not only Gu Zhen'er, but also Mrs. Gu and several concubines of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu was led by Gu Zhen'er

Supported by Erlang of the Gu family, a woman stood beside Gu Zhen'er, holding a baby in her hands. Needless to say, this child must have been given birth to by Gu Zhen'er a few months ago. "Sister of the Ye family, Mrs. Ye.

"

Gu Zhen'er stepped forward to say hello. Immediately, the three ladies of the Ye family and Mrs. Gu greeted each other in turn. For a time, people from both families crowded the alley. Gu Zhen'er married Pei Yuan, the son of Pei Qing of the Hanlin Academy, and this family

The marriage was arranged by General Gu at that time. Gu Hong felt that the Gu family was a family of military generals, and if his daughter remarried to a general, it would be too public, so he carefully selected the Pei family. The Pei family had a scholarly family for generations, and Pei Yuan treated Gu Zhener the same way.

Excellent. Logically speaking, a woman should not return home often after getting married, but Pei Yuan was grateful that his father-in-law had just passed away and his mother-in-law was in a melancholy mood. Gu Zhen'er would always take her back to her parents' home to visit her after confinement. If General Gu Hong had not passed away, Gu Zhen'er would be considered a

A lucky woman with a proud family background and a proud husband. "Mrs. Gu's family also came to offer incense today? What a coincidence."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and looked at Mrs. Gu. "Yes, in previous years we come on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. This year I was afraid that there would be too many people on that day, so I came three days earlier."

Mrs. Gu's words were gentle, and there was kindness in her eyes. After saying that, Jiang's eyes unconsciously fell on Gu Zhen'er and the child. When the child was one month old, General Gu Hong had not yet mourned, and Gu Zhen'er did not want to hold a grand full moon ceremony.

There were no guests invited to the banquet. Now, it was the first time for Mr. Jiang to see the child. The three ladies of the Ye family walked up to the mother-in-law and took a closer look. They all praised her beautiful features and cute appearance. Mrs. Gu saw everyone
