Ye Zhen has been in Beijing City for several days, but, except for observing the soldiers at the city gate when entering the city, she still hasn't fully appreciated the different scenery of this city which is very different from Nanzhou.
Handing Mingxi to Hongying, Ye Zhen raised the curtains and looked outside. The streets here are very wide, and there are many tourists on the roads. The prosperity is even higher than that of Jinguo. From time to time, you will see soldiers patrolling the streets. The costumes look simple and elegant, somewhat different from soldiers on the battlefield.
The Northern City is indeed different.
Ye Zhen thought that if she had Hua Guo's 100,000 elite soldiers, she would definitely be able to win Dongqing.
When she arrived at Shui's house, before Ye Zhen saw Ye Yiqing, she heard that he took Zhaoyang out of the city, and she probably won't be back until tomorrow.
"Daddy seems to like Hua Guo very much." Ye Zhen shook her head and smiled, she found that when she was in Nanzhou, Daddy showed interest in this country, and he seemed to like it very much.
Ye Chundong, who was left behind, said with a smile, "Second Uncle used to say that he would travel all over the world. Everywhere in Huaguo is different. Of course he likes it."
"Did he only take his wife?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously.
Ye Chundong nodded, "That's right, I didn't even bring a servant."
"Then let's talk about it when Dad comes back." Ye Zhen told him about borrowing 100,000 elite soldiers from Qi Yu if she wanted to come back. She went back to the yard arranged by Shui Yichen to play with Ming Xi and Ming Yu For a while, until they fell asleep from exhaustion, she had time to think about what to do next.
In addition to needing a lot of money to buy food and grass to support 100,000 elite soldiers, she also needs to have generals who can form troops. Soldiers are easy to have, but generals are rare. This is the most important thing for her to consider.
"Are you back?"
When Ye Zhen was standing in the courtyard and meditating, she didn't know that someone was coming behind her. She was startled when she heard the voice that she suddenly remembered, and turned her head to see Shui Yichen standing behind her.
"There was no sound at all. If it wasn't for the daytime, I would have thought it was a ghost." Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shui Chen, somewhat dissatisfied with his silent appearance.
"It's clear that you were in a daze and didn't hear what the maid said." Shui Yichen snorted coldly, and looked at Ye Zhen with deep and dark eyes, "Are you going to enter the palace in the future?"
Ye Zhen asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Shui Yichen said coldly, "If you don't need to enter the palace, then go back to Nanzhou."
"You don't seem to like Beijing City very much, why?" Looking at Shui Yichen's appearance, it seems that not only because Qi Yu almost killed Shui Miaomiao, but even Shui Miaomiao had let go of her fear, which proves that she also knew Qi Yu's love back then. It's not that he intends to hurt her, but why is Shui Yichen so brooding
Shui Yichen's face is not so good-looking, it seems that he doesn't like Ye Zhen asking him this question very much, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, there is no reason, Shen Mengxi...is her life safe?"
Shen Mengxi? Ye Zhen was keenly aware of Shui Yichen's strangeness when he mentioned this name, she hadn't noticed before that Shui Yichen never seemed to call Mengxi the queen.
"It is true that her life is safe, but she is pregnant, so... I have to enter the palace tomorrow." Ye Zhen said with a smile, secretly observing the changes in Shui Yichen's expression.
Shock flashed across Shui Yichen's cold and handsome face, and he quickly suppressed it again, hiding it well, "Didn't Huangfuchen say that she has a heart disease and is not suitable for having children?"
He still remembered what Huangfu Chen said back then, that Shen Mengxi's heart disease could not give birth to a child at all, otherwise it would be dangerous.
"You even know this?" Ye Zhen glanced at him.
Shui Yichen glanced at Ye Zhen coldly, "Can you cure her heart disease?"
Ye Zhen nodded slightly, "It's being treated, and it may take a long time to stay in the northern city. If you want to go back to Nanzhou in a few days, I'm afraid you have to leave the water seedlings behind."
"How long?" Shui Yichen was obviously very dissatisfied with these words, but he still suppressed it and didn't show it.
"One year." Ye Zhen said.
The Sichuan character between Shui Yichen's eyebrows became more obvious, "No, it's been too long."
"It's not something you can't do if you say no. Even if I want to go back to Nanzhou, Qi Yu won't let me go. Miao Miao's illness is not cured. If you take her away, I won't be able to heal her. So, you still have to Leave Miao Miao behind." Ye Zhen waved her hand, this was the only way.
"Where's Huangfuchen?" Shui Yichen planned to ask Huangfuchen, he didn't want Shui Miaomiao to stay in Beijing City for so long.
"I don't know..." Ye Zhen's clear eyes dimmed slightly. Ever since she told about the borrowing of soldiers that day, Huangfuchen had disappeared, and she has never seen him again.
Shui Yichen looked down at her, "Isn't he in the palace? You don't know where he is?"
Ye Zhen said lightly, "The palace is so big, he won't report to me wherever he goes."
"I see." Shui Yichen nodded lightly, turned around and left without saying anything extra.
"..." Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked at his back, this man is really unusually strong.
Shui Miaomiao, who just came out of the house, only saw Shui Yichen's back, she asked Ye Zhen suspiciously, "Sister Ye, was my brother here just now? Why did he leave?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Suddenly something happened again." She remembered Shui Yichen's weirdness, so she asked Shui Miaomiao, "Miao Miao, did you live in Beijing City before?"
Shui Miaomiao nodded, "I lived here when I was a child. At that time, my brother was often away. Every time I saw him, he was wearing armor... Later we went to Nanzhou, where my brother was doing business."
"You said you saw your brother wearing armor when you were young?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise.
"It seems that I don't remember much. My brother never told me about the past." Shui Miaomiao said, because the memory is too long, she doesn't remember very clearly. In fact, she rarely saw her brother when she was young. , he is often not at home, she was raised by the servants of the family, "When I was young, the person I often saw was the empress, and sister Mengxi was not the empress at that time."
Ye Zhen was slightly taken aback, so to speak, Shui Yichen knew Shen Mengxi many years ago, so why did he act so cold when he was in Nanzhou
Thinking back carefully, even though Shui Yichen didn't care about Shen Mengxi's illness, he still came to Beijing City. On the surface, it was because of Shui Miaomiao, but in fact, he also cared about Shen Mengxi, right
It seems that Shui Yichen is not just a simple businessman.
Ye Zhen felt happy as if she had discovered a big secret.
"Is your brother good at martial arts?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
"Of course, my brother taught me all my martial arts." Shui Miaomiao said proudly.
"You know martial arts?" This is the first time Ye Zhen has heard of it.
Shui Miaomiao laughed, "None of the guards at home are my opponents."
Ye Zhen glanced at Hongying behind her, "Then make a gesture with Hongying."
