"I'm talking about the younger brother, the prince." King Chu approached Ji Yannuo with a big face, hoping to see his expression clearly, "Brother, the emperor is the only one who knows how important Ye Liangyuan is to you, hehe."
Ji Yannuo's eyes flashed suddenly, and he pushed King Chu away with his palm: "It's just to protect the safety of the people in the palace."
"Is it really that simple?" King Chu continued to smile, stroking his beard and said, "Brother, I'm afraid it's not entirely true."
"If you have free time then, continue training at Peking University Camp." Ji Yannuo picked up the official document and said, "Xu An, see you off."
"Hey!" King Chu was invited out by Xu An and turned to Ji Yannuo and shouted, "Brother Huang, we haven't talked about the serious matter yet! For the sake of Brother Huang saving your Liang Yuan, that one
How about reducing the amount of ten thousand taels by half?"
"No need to talk." Ji Yannuo curled his lips.
The King of Chu slumped his shoulders: "Is the grace period of half a year possible?"
"At most three months."
"...Okay," King Chu resignedly walked out, "Brother Prince, why don't you go to the Great Buddha Temple for a stroll on Buddha's Birthday? Don't you feel tired from being locked up in the room all day long to deal with official matters?"
After sending King Chu away, Xu An returned to the study, and happened to bring the news from the secret guard.
After hearing this, Ji Yannuo tapped his index finger on the table: "Those men in black all committed suicide by taking poison. They are definitely not ordinary bandits."
Thinking of the flying knife on the first floor of the world, Ji Yannuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Check carefully to see if you can find any clues."
"Go back to Your Highness, we have already made arrangements." Xu An promised, thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Your Highness, do you... want to go to the Great Buddha Temple?"
Ji Yannuo raised his eyebrows, picked up an official document and said coldly: "I am very free?"
Xu An quickly shut up.
It was quiet inside the house.
The only sound left was Ji Yannuo's occasional flipping of official documents.
However, the sound of turning official documents today seemed different from those in the past.
The sound was faster and heavier.
It seemed like he was a little impatient.
Xu An looked up and looked in the direction of the desk, and happened to look at Ji Yannuo: "Prepare your horse!"
Ji Yannuo stood up suddenly and strode out.
"Your Highness, where are you going..." Xu An hurriedly caught up.
“The Great Buddhist Temple.”
The Great Buddha Temple is an extremely lively place on the Buddha's birthday, attracting countless aristocratic families from the capital to participate in solar terms activities. The concubines of the Prince's Palace also stayed overnight in the courtyard of the Great Buddha Temple so that they could go to the Great Buddha Temple early the next morning to listen to Gao Zeng's sermon.
The courtyard allocated to the Crown Prince's Mansion covers a vast area. Except for the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubines, who each have a small courtyard, the other concubines all have independent rooms for living.
After the Crown Princess washed herself, Bicui and Biliu squeezed her shoulders and beat her legs, and leaned back on the chair with her eyes half-closed.
Scenes from the day flashed through my mind, especially the conversations with the princesses.
Princess Qi didn't come today, so she casually asked why, but she was laughed at by Princess Jin.
"Haven't you heard of it, Crown Princess?" Princess Jin had sympathy in her eyes, and that sympathy was directed at her, "Princess Qi just got pregnant not long ago, and she is raising her baby with peace of mind in Prince Qi's palace. How can she be as helpless as us?
Now that you are safe, you can go out and wander around?"
"Hey, that's not true. I'm still not as free as my sister. A few days ago, An An was playing in the water and almost caught a cold." She sighed worriedly, "Fortunately, I recovered well in the past two days, otherwise I, a mother, would be afraid
I don’t even have the inclination to go out for a trip.”
When the Crown Princess thought of this scene, her face was still livid with anger.
Princess Jin loved to make fun of her because she had no heirs.
Slowly opening her eyes, the Crown Princess waved her hand towards Bicui: "There's no need to pinch her. Go and get me a cup of tea."
The green and green willow stopped and fetched warm tea: "Your Majesty, are you worried?"
"What else could it be?" The princess drank tea and sighed leisurely.
"Do you think the fact that Ye Liangyuan escaped a disaster today means that she is quite lucky?"
Bicui thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because I'm under the protection of the Buddha in this blessed place of the great Buddhist temple."
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for two women and a coachman to survive against so many men in black.
Who would have expected that the King of Chu went to Nanda Camp to train troops and happened to be running a horse and was rescued along the way.
The Crown Princess took a deep breath: "Zhang and Meiren's plan failed, and Ye Liangyuan escaped unscathed... It seems that it's time for me to think better of it."
She also wanted to strangle Ye Liangyuan to death with her own hands.
It's just that my mother taught me since childhood that I must be on guard against concubines, but the best way is to make good use of them.
The most successful way to be a housewife is to have harmonious wives and concubines and a full house of children and grandchildren.
Although she is jealous of Ye Liangyuan, even if she strangles Ye Liangyuan to death, there is no guarantee that there will not be He Liangyuan or Li Liangyuan in the future.
Concubine is like running water, it never stops.
It is her position as the head wife that remains unshakable.
How to help His Highness ascend to a high position and how to become the master of the middle palace leading the harem, her vision must not be too shallow.
Since she married into the prince's house, the prince has never slept with any concubines.
Ye Liangyuan was the only concubine besides herself and Zhang who stayed with the prince for the night.
Maybe one day she would have the chance to be pregnant with the prince's heir.
If Ye Liangyuan gives birth to a male heir——
The Crown Princess narrowed her eyes.
Then, as the crown princess, she can take the child under her lap and raise it.
When you give birth to a child in the future, you can just let your adopted son support your biological child.
In this way, the mouths of the women like Princess Jin can be silenced.
"When we return home tomorrow, we will collect all the evidence against Lu Meiren," the Crown Princess said calmly, "I promised Ye Liangyuan that I would give her an explanation."
Bicui and Biliu looked at each other, and their hearts moved.
"Empress, what do you mean..." Bicui was bold enough to ask directly.
The Crown Princess glanced at her and was not upset at all: "Since Ye Liangyuan is a lucky person, I will protect her. Let's see how long-lasting her luck will be."
At that time, in the wing room not far away, Ye Fuxun had finished washing up and had just gotten into the warm bed to get ready for sleep.
He sneezed for no reason.
Xiao Yu hurriedly tucked her into bed and said, "My dear master, please don't stick your hands and feet out of the blanket. It's cold at night in the mountains and it's easy to catch the cold."
Ye Fuxun obediently retracted his limbs into the quilt and muttered: "Maybe it was someone who said bad things about your mistress behind his back that made me sneeze."
Xiao Yu chuckled: "Little Master, please rest quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to listen to the master's sermon."
Ye Fuxun nodded, yawned, and slowly closed his eyes.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, a 'beep--' suddenly came from her mind.
She was so shocked that she sat up.
"Little Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoyu hurriedly opened the curtain again.
Ye Fuxun waved his hand and fell back to sleep: "I'm fine."
He shouted in his mind: "You want to scare people to death at night, don't you!"
