Qing Chen didn't expect Eleven to suddenly pull Ye Tianli away, he stood there dumbfounded, turned to look at Ye Tianling, seeing her standing still, Ye Tianling raised his head slightly, and said, "Sit. "
There was no one else, either smiling or angry, suddenly too lazy to cover up anymore, Qing Chen changed to a very real expression, no expression. She leaned in front of the table and used chopsticks to pinch the red willow mutton in front of her. The fresh and fat mutton skewers were still warm on the graceful red willow skewers. Qing Chen tugged lightly once and for all, trying to remove the mutton from the skewers, when a pair of ivory white chopsticks suddenly stretched out in front of her eyes, to help her press, she moved along the slender fingers of the moon-white chopsticks. Looking up, he met Ye Tianling's cold eyes.
In fact, he was not in the mood to eat, Qing Chen withdrew his hand, Ye Tianling looked at her, and said, "I didn't expect someone to talk about that after so long."
Qing Chen smiled nonchalantly, thinking that there were not many discussions in the palace back then? Coupled with the matter of Luan Fei now, it is polite to see that the Feng family said a few words that are not pleasing to the eye, and said: "If they want to say it, they can say it. They have long been used to hearing it in a place where there are many women in the palace. Let alone Ming Qiang Yi It's hard to avoid a hidden arrow, but it's better to say it face to face than those who secretly add insult to injury."
Ye Tianling said lightly: "The gossip in the palace hurts people the most, even worse than the sword. Sometimes even if you hear it too much, you can't get used to it."
Qing Chen's heart moved slightly. Because of Concubine Lian, Ye Tianling was quite different from other princes in the Dazheng Palace. He must have heard some words with ulterior motives since he was a child. I don't know how he felt at that time. She raised her eyebrows, and laughed more disapprovingly: "What are a few words? Let them talk, listen with a smile, and let them know that what you said is stupid."
The corners of Ye Tianling's lips suddenly curved slightly, and Qing Chen felt that the moment his expression became clear seemed to tell her that he understood her words, understood what she was referring to and smiled back. The feeling of being understood and finding that the person who sees through you opens a door and does not hide himself from you is so wonderful, it seems that all the distance disappears in the gaze between the two, and the calm heat burns quietly in it Get up, dots are as dazzling as stars, illuminating every corner of my heart.
She smiled and said: "Anyway, what should have happened has already happened, and no one can change the past, so it's right for entertainment."
"Although the previous events cannot be changed, the future events can also be used to silence those people." Ye Tianling said.
"How?" Qing Chen asked.
Ye Tianling looked at her, and the sudden softness in his eyes fell on her delicate face. He thought for a while and said, "Become the same as that red willow mutton."
But Qing Chen didn't think about the meaning of the words for a while: "Red willow mutton? It tastes like the fragrance of wood branches, no matter how you cook it, it will be connected together, never..." She stopped suddenly, looking at Ye Tianling in amazement, Ye Tian Ling said, "Never what?"
A layer of red cloud suddenly burned on Qing Chen's face, and he could no longer stare at him, those bright black eyes really wanted to see people thoroughly in it, even if he avoided it, he could still feel the warmth of his gaze , heart-wrenching. She lowered her eyes, silently surprised, never parting? The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them anyway.
At this moment, Ye Tianling said softly: "Never separate."
Embarrassed, Qing Chen stood up all of a sudden: "It's time... It's time to go back to the palace." He left in a hurry, Ye Tianling's brows were full of smiles, and without saying much, he walked out with her.
Along the way, Qing Chen occasionally glanced quietly, and saw Ye Tianling beside him with a leisurely attitude, riding his horse slowly. When she saw it, he turned his head casually, with a questioning smile in his deep eyes.
Qing Chen quickly looked back, feeling a little lost, Ye Tianling suddenly stopped her horse: "Slow down!"
The figure in front of the horse swayed, a man fell down in the street, almost hit the horse, and seemed to pass out. A few passers-by stopped around, not knowing what happened, and even said that the horse hurt someone, they all whispered about it. Qing Chen and Ye Tianling got off their horses to look, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy lying on the ground, pale and unconscious, Qing Chen tried his pulse, frowned and said: "Fourth brother, it seems to be hungry. "
Ye Tianling frowned, and unexpectedly asked, "Are you hungry?"
Qing Chen nodded, seeing that this place was not far from Muyuan Hall, he said, "Why don't you take him to Muyuan Hall first."
"Okay." Ye Tianling said, leaning over and hugging the boy with his own hands, the boy was ragged and covered in dirt, he didn't seem to care, but when he felt that the boy was skinny, the vertical lines between his eyebrows became deeper a bit. Someone in the crowd had seen someone from the Shenwu Sect rewarding troops, and recognized him at this moment, and said in a low voice, "Look, it's His Royal Highness Ling."
"Isn't that Dr. Ning from Muyuantang?"
"This child has a big life."
Muyuan Hall was dozens of steps away, the two sent the boy there, and someone came to fetch some porridge to feed him. The boy woke up after drinking a few sips. Qing Chen felt relieved, and smiled, "Are you awake? Let's have some porridge first. There are still buns here. You can eat slowly."
When the young man saw the steamed stuffed bun, he showed a look of eagerness, but he didn't gobble it up right away. He thanked him first, and then picked it up and ate a few very quickly. It seemed that he had been hungry for many days. Qing Chen asked, "What's your name?"
After the young man hastily swallowed the food in his mouth, Fang replied, "My name is Han Qing." Most of the plate of steamed buns was gone, and he recovered his strength. Standing with his hands beside him, he had a noble bearing, extraordinary, knowing that they had saved him, he got up and bowed: "Thank you benefactor for saving me!"
Qing Chen stretched out his hand to help him: "You don't look like a local, why did you come to Yige City?"
Han Qing expressed compassion, and said: "I am originally from Huzhou. A few years ago, Huzhou was flooded, and my parents and relatives died..." At this point, his voice was slightly choked, and he did not continue.
Ye Tianling frowned and asked, "The Huzhou flooded the court so much that the court provided relief at the beginning, so why are the people displaced?"
Han Qing said: "The great river broke its embankment and was flooded for more than a month, and the fertile fields in Huzhou were all barren. At that time, the number of victims was unimaginable. The relief money was exploited and embezzled by officials at all levels. How much could be relieved? What's more, there was a severe drought after the flood. After two years, now there are mourners everywhere, and the people can't stay any longer, so they have to leave their hometowns to find their own way out."
Ye Tianling and Qing Chen looked at each other, their eyes condensed, and asked later: "Have you read?"
Han Qing said: "I have been in a private school."
Ye Tianling nodded and asked, "Do you want to stay in Yige?"
Han Qing replied: "I have gone through hardships all the way, and I just want to come to heaven to see why the continuous fighting and bullying by officials have caused the people in Huzhou to live and work in peace!"
Ye Tianling was expressionless, Qing Chen smiled and said, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
Han Qing looked at Ye Tianling, and Ye Tianling said indifferently: "One Huzhou is not enough to see the world, and there must be places where it must fight if there are endless battles. The root of Huzhou is flooding, and what the battle is done is the northern border. The border defense of the sixteen prefectures is also the stability of the people in the sixteen prefectures, and the cleanliness of the officials, the heart of the superior, you can take a good look at it in the sky." A few words are clear, and one thing is given to him He: "Take this and go to Ling Wangfu to find Director Wu, and ask him to arrange an errand for you first."
Listening to Ye Tianling's words, Han Qing had explained several important matters concerning the national economy and the people's livelihood in a few words, he just reached out and took the thing firmly, falling into deep thought. Qing Chen said: "Why, don't you thank the Fourth Highness?"
Han Qing was shocked: "Fourth Highness!"
Ye Tianling looked cold, and said: "It is not enough to just have a heart to see, you must have the ability and tolerance to do it. I will show you the opportunity, and to what extent you can see it is up to you."
Han Qing stood in front of him in great surprise. After a moment of panic, he bent down and said, "Thank you, Fourth Highness!"
Qing Chen watched Han Qing leave Muyuan Hall, and said, "Fourth brother, you seem to be very optimistic about this child."
Ye Tianling said: "It's not bad, let's have a look."
Qing Chen nodded and said: "I am in a difficult situation without being humble or overbearing. I am still young and have ambitions, but I can also restrain myself and act calmly. For a teenage child, this is already very rare."
Ye Tianling did not deny her evaluation of Han Qing, but turned to laugh at her and said, "The words are old-fashioned, are you much older than him?"
Qing Chen thought for a while, then smiled: "I'm already the same age as you."
Ye Tianling said: "I'm a few years older than you, aren't you talking nonsense too hungry?"
Qing Chen looked up at the sky, the clouds slowly piled up in the sky, there was some harbinger of rain, she said with a smile: "I mean my heart is getting old, the more I read the scriptures, the more my heart will grow old."
Ye Tianling said: "I didn't look at people, I thought I was talking to those old officials in the court."
Qing Chen smiled without saying a word, walked a few steps, and raised his hand to caress the wooden couplets hanging in front of the shantang facing the street. At this time, the shantang had been closed for a long time, and although the condition of Mingyilou was gradually improving, it was not enough to support it again. such consumption. She sighed: "Even in a prosperous age, people's lives are always difficult. Unfortunately, sometimes I can't even use my meager strength."
Ye Tianling asked, "Why is this good hall closed?"
Qing Chen said: "There are some problems in the Mingyilou due to Mingshe's incident, maybe after a while, I will be able to reopen the Shantang."
Ye Tianling raised his head and looked at the four characters "Saving the World and Saving the People" written on the plaque, and said, "If you want Xie Jing to come to my house, let me know how much money you need."
Qing Chen was a little surprised: "You are..."
Ye Tianling said: "A philanthropic hall is nothing more than a simple effort."
Qing Chen said with a smile: "It is indeed rich to be a prince, but you can do good deeds for a while, and it is difficult to do good deeds for a lifetime."
Ye Tianling said: "Giving relief in vain, this kind of kindness can't be done in a lifetime, it would be better if there are fewer and fewer people in this world who are useful to the kindness."
Qing Chen savored the profound meaning in his words, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Fourth brother wants to give the benefits of this game to others, but have you ever thought about what you might lose? And are you prepared to face the dangerous journey? "
The corner of Ye Tianling's lips twitched lonely, and he said a simple word: "Yes."
Qing Chen nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "I said before that I want to take you to meet someone, let's go to Simianlou."
Ye Tianling didn't ask who it was, but just looked at her and said, "Okay."
