Dugu Xinyue turned around and sat on the chair opposite. Although Yang Yuhuan was absolutely willing, she couldn't keep it off her face at this time and had to sit on the other side.
Li Ye also put away his frivolous smile and said thoughtfully: "The new emperor has sent two envoys, do you know?"
Dugu Xinyue knew exactly what her husband was worried about, so she nodded and said, "I heard about it, but I haven't met in person."
Li Ye felt relieved, and asked Yang Yuhuan, "The eunuch's name is Feng Yanhuan. Has Yuhuan seen this person?"
Yang Yuhuan shook his head, "Never heard of it!"
Li Ye knew that Yang Yuhuan was like a piece of wood in the palace, only indulging in her own music, singing and dancing, and never caring about outside things. She didn't hear that it was normal, but this Feng Yanhuan must know her."
He asked again: "The Taoist palace next door has been repaired. Have you ever visited it?"
Dugu Xinyue said with a smile: "Husband, you don't have to ask round and round, just ask directly! Yuhuan and I have both gone to see it, and Yuhuan has already registered his name in the Taoist temple, with the Taoist name Yuzhu Zhenren, and I have also gone to the government.
I asked the housekeeper to register, and now I’m just waiting for Auntie to come and settle in.”
Li Ye perked up and asked, "Is there any news about Agu?"
"Yes! Not long after my husband left for the expedition, I received a letter from her. She has already set off with her apprentice and should arrive in a few days. It can be felt that she also wants to escape from Lushan. Her tone is very pleasant, but there is a sense of impatience between the lines.
Feel."
Li Ye vaguely guessed that his aunt Li Tengkong's eagerness to escape from Lushan might be related to Yongwang Li Lin.
At this time, Yang Yuhuan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Husband, don't you want to see the secret passage? You can go directly to Taiqing Palace from our house."
Li Ye stood up and said with a smile: "Go and have a look!"
Dugu Xinyue said lazily: "I won't go. This restless creature in my belly is torturing me. I have to go and lie down."
She got up and went back to her room. Before leaving, she gave Yang Yuhuan a meaningful look. Yang Yuhuan blushed and quickly lowered her head.
As soon as his wife left, Li Ye couldn't wait to hold Yang Yuhuan in his arms, breathing heavily and moving his hands unscrupulously. Although Yang Yuhuan was a little scared, after all, it was daytime, and maybe the eldest sister would kill another one and come back.
"Husband, let's talk about it tonight!"
"Evening is for evening, now it's tea time!"
Yang Yuhuan's heart was also filled with longing and she couldn't resist, so she turned around meekly and held onto the table.
The secret door connecting Taiqing Palace goes from the atrium. There is a three-foot-wide passage between the west courtyard and the atrium, about three feet long. The entrance is relatively secret. There is a small door. There is also a small door at the end of the passage. This
The secret passage must have been newly built, it didn't exist before, and a wall was added to the inner house.
"The eldest sister said that we are going to change the entrance to the inner house and keep the iron door locked at ordinary times."
Li Ye nodded and looked up. There were two wide eaves above. When they were put together, only a crack was exposed, and the secret passage below could not be seen.
Perhaps it was because of the eaves above the head that the light was completely blocked. Although it was still afternoon, the alley was very dark, like night. The maid Xingxiang was holding a lantern in front. Yang Yuhuan held her husband's arm tightly. She
My legs are weak and I can't stand up.
She couldn't help but pinched her husband's arm hard. This anxious guy, it was daytime!
In exchange for Li Ye's chuckle, Yang Yuhuan looked intoxicated and simply leaned her head on her husband, letting his strong arms hold her body forward.
Although she was once extremely noble, she can easily become noble again. The two new emperors are sending people to find her whereabouts and are eager to get her, but Yang Yuhuan does not regret her current life as a little woman at all.
She relies so much on the strong arms around her to protect her and give her a strong sense of security. They can take her to travel in the world of bliss every time, making her extremely fascinated and satisfied.
What she desires most now is to give birth to a well-behaved daughter so that her life can continue in this world. Every time she sees Dugu Xinyue's slightly bulging belly, she is very envious.
"Husband, I also want a daughter!"
Yang Yuhuan whispered in Li Ye's ear, and Li Ye's heart trembled. If there hadn't been a maid in front of him, he would have been unscrupulous in this dark alley again.
Li Ye gently squeezed her soft little hand in response. Yang Yuhuan leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and sighed happily. How she longed for it to be dark now!
At the end of the alley is the back wall of a house. There is an iron door. Open the iron door, and there seems to be a wooden wall inside. The maid pulls the handle at the bottom, and there is a "click!" and a slight push.
It moved sideways, and then opened a door, and a large amount of light came in, revealing a room.
Li Ye took Yang Yuhuan's hand and walked into the house, only to find that they were walking out of a large wardrobe. The wooden wall just now was the back panel of the wardrobe. When the back panel was pushed open, they came out.
The room is a suite, this one is the bedroom, the living room is next door, and there is an outhouse outside. Of course, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the master's bedroom.
Outside is a beautifully decorated courtyard, covering an area of about an acre. There are corridors, wooden platforms, and steps down. The paths are all carved stone slabs. Both sides are filled with various flowers, plants and small trees, as well as rockeries and ponds. It is a courtyard.
A very elegant courtyard.
"This is the courtyard where I practice. My eldest sister also likes it. She said she would have tea with me here."
"I like it too and want to practice here!"
Li Ye looked at Yang Yuhuan ambiguously and said with a smile: "It's very interesting to practice Happy Zen here!"
Yang Yuhuan blushed, pinched his arm again, and pouted to the side. Only then did Li Ye realize that there was another maid squatting next to her, her body blocked by the bushes.
"In the future, I will ask them to take turns here during the day and notify me if there is an emergency. However, the doors are closed and ordinary people cannot come in. It is just a precaution."
Li Ye smiled and said: "This is a good idea!"
After wandering around the Taoist temple again, Li Ye was not very interested, so the two of them returned to the mansion through the secret passage.
That night, Dugu Xinyue helped Yang Yuhuan, and on the pretext of strong pregnancy sensation and physical discomfort, she drove Li Ye to the yard next door. Yang Yuhuan's neck was sore waiting for him, so the two immediately went to Wushan together, and they were exhausted until the fourth watch. Fang rest.
Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the government office and met the special envoy Cao Risheng and the eunuch Feng Yanhuan. Cao Risheng first congratulated Li Ye for defeating An Qingxu and saving Jingxiang.
Cao Risheng immediately read out the emperor's decree to Li Ye, named Li Ye the Taiwei, listed his main lineage as the clan, recorded his name in Zongzheng Temple and Taimiao, and actually named him King of Lu.
Li Ye asked Cao Risheng and Feng Yanhuan to take their seats in the lobby. Li Ye smiled and asked, "I don't quite understand what it means to be listed as a clan. Can you please explain it to Cao Zhongcheng?"
Cao Risheng took a sip of hot tea and said calmly: "The main line of succession actually starts from Li Shuliang, the king of Changping County. His son Li Xiaobin, his grandson Li Sijie, his great-grandson Li Linfu, his fourth grandson Li Dai, and his fifth grandson are you, your highness. This line of descent is called the main line, and is classified as a clan. Others are not counted. For example, your grandfather has dozens of sons and hundreds of grandsons. Only His Highness and Li Xiangguo are the clan, and others are not counted."
"What about my children and grandchildren?" Li Ye continued to ask
"Of course they all count. In fact, His Highness is the clan member, and then your direct ancestors take advantage of you and are listed as the clan clan. Your Highness's children and grandchildren will of course be the clan clan."
"Why do you do this?" Li Ye asked puzzled.
Cao Risheng sighed and said: "Because Emperor Gaozu had a decree that non-clan members could not be kings. Then Emperor Gaozong changed it slightly. Non-clan members were not allowed to be princes, but county princes could. Therefore, there has been no situation where non-clan princes can be crowned princes. It happened. Although the Supreme Emperor conferred four princes in the past two years, which was inconsistent with the will of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Gaozong, it is now being corrected. The princes of An Lushan, Ge Shuhan, and An Sishun have been expelled, and His Highness himself is As long as the royal family is recognized as a clan, there will be no problem."
"That's it! Then what changes will happen to Prince Shifeng?"
