Tixiao smiled and said: "I only heard that Prime Minister Ye has a son who has been very talented since childhood. Prime Minister Ye has a very strict family education, and your wife must be Huai Jin and hold Yu, who is different from ordinary women."

As soon as King Qin's expression changed, Ye Fu'an knew what he was thinking.

He hasn't arrived in the capital yet, and one or two of them are here to have an idea for his daughter, haha.

Ye Fu'an said: "The King of Qin is ridiculous. My daughter's qualifications are mediocre. No matter her beauty or talents, it is difficult to compare with other noble girls in the capital. My daughter has been weak since she was a child. She grew up with Master Wuxin and has a simple mind. The truth is that I am worried that she will not adapt to life in the capital when she returns."

In front of the emperor, Ye Fu'an could boast confidently and boldly. After the praise was over, he would say that his precious daughter was too difficult to take care of and could not enter the royal family. The emperor was afraid of Ye Fu'an, so naturally he would not force him. Furthermore, where is the power of the second prince? The civil servants headed by Ye Fu'an are very powerful. Marrying a sick prime minister's daughter is no less than marrying an ancestor.

King Qin Tixiao was not someone who could be easily intimidated. Even if the daughter of the Ye family was tricked to death by the prince after she got married, Ye Fu'an couldn't take revenge.

Tixiao had soldiers in his hands, and his temper was even colder, so the emperor was afraid of him. When civility meets martial arts, it's like an egg meets a stone when it comes to a master who is brave, resourceful, smart and capable of fighting.

Therefore, the more Ye Fu'an belittles his daughter, the better. No matter what, he cannot be married to the prince by Xiao Xiao.

The prince is not bad, the prince is very good, but Ye Lizhu is not in good health. Ye Fu'an wants Ye Lizhu to marry into a family whose family background is not as good as his own. If anyone dares to bully Ye Lizhu in the future, Ye Fu'an will directly kill his family.

Ti Xiao saw that Ye Fu'an had no intention of becoming friends with him.

But Ti Xiao... is not a good person. Ye Fu'an refused to give face, so Ti Xiao insisted on targeting him.

He said: "Haha, Prime Minister Ye is so humble. There are still two upper rooms available in the inn. Why not let your wife get out of the carriage and go back to the room to rest first?"

Ye Fu'an touched his beard and gave some instructions to his men.

Within a moment, a strong woman came over with Ye Lizhu in her arms. Ye Lizhu was weak and still sleeping. No one dared to wake her up. When she got out of the carriage, her face was covered with a veil, and she was surrounded tightly.

Tixiao's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and he can smell an indescribable aroma.

It seems to be some kind of orchid grass fragrance mixed with light white sandalwood. It is very ethereal, not sweet or greasy, and does not have the slightest smoky smell.

Ye Fu'an said: "The little girl is so spoiled and so weak that she can't walk a few steps. She can only be carried up by the servants. King Qin laughed at her."

Ti Xiao's eyes followed the group of female relatives.

He didn't know whose scent it belonged to.

Tixiao was used to licking blood from the knife edge. He was originally cold-blooded and hated little women who were greasy and smelled of powder. He had been working hard for the past few days, and suddenly smelled this lightness, which made him feel very comfortable.

Ye Fu'an is a bit old and cunning, but he can distinguish right from wrong and has some skills. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to secure the position of prime minister above ten thousand people under him. His daughter, no matter how bad she is, won't be any worse.

Thinking of this, Ti Xiao wanted Ye Lizhu to marry the prince even more.

Ye Lizhu was carried to the room, and the mother-in-law who served her carefully took off her shoes and socks. Take off her coat.

Naturally, the things on the bed would not be used. The other maids gently laid out the sheets and quilts they brought and put on new pillows so that Ye Lizhu could sleep soundly.

After Ye Lizhu was placed on the bed, several maids withdrew, leaving two strong women standing guard by the bed.

Ye Fu'an was drinking with Ti Xiao downstairs. Although he is a civil servant, Ye Fu'an is not so pedantic. He has been drinking for three rounds, even though he and Ti Xiao have not really gotten along. Ye Fu'an had already patted Ti Xiao on the shoulder and called him brother.

Ti Xiao initially thought that Ye Fu'an was a cunning and smiling tiger. After a few words of conversation, he discovered that Ye Fu'an was really a cunning and smiling tiger.

Let’s not talk about serious matters, but let’s talk about how good the literary talent of his new scholar is. Every time Ti Xiao wanted to test Ye Fu'an's views on several princes, he would be dismissed by Ye Fu'an.

Ye Fuant was very good at gossiping. In a short period of time, Tixiao knew which tavern in the capital had which wine as its signature drink. He also learned that a young poet who had become famous recently actually had someone write for him. He also learned that the emperor had a particularly noisy dog. Parrot - But what Tixiao wants to know from Ye Fu'an is not such a boring trivial matter.

Tixiaopi smiled but said: "I thought Prime Minister Ye was busy with everything, but I didn't expect you to be so elegant."

Ye Fu'an said with a smile: "I love to be leisurely in my life, and I also want to take a break from my busy schedule. If your majesty approves of it one day, I will retire and return to my hometown, and take my daughter to live in the countryside."

Ti Xiao sneered. Want to retire and return home? Ti Xiao was happy for Ye Fu'an to retire and return home. Without Ye Fu'an, the emperor, the second prince and the rest would not be at his mercy.

Afraid that this old guy Ye Fu'an is greedy for power, he refuses to let go, and ordinary people can't touch him.

When the late emperor was there, Ye Fu'an was still young. He was less than twenty years old, and he was appointed to the Yushitai by relying on his family background and ability. In his later years, the late emperor valued the Ye family very much. Before his death, he rewarded Ye Fu'an with two gold medals and a sword.

Ye Fu'an was appointed prime minister when he was in his early thirties. Such a status at this age was rare in previous dynasties, not to mention this dynasty.

Ye Fu'an is now in his forties. If he lives longer and refuses to delegate power when he reaches seventy, he will not make mistakes. It will be difficult for the prince to touch him after he takes office.

Just now Ti Xiao glanced at Ye Lizhu. Although there were many layers of female family members blocking her, he could see through the gap that Ye Fu'an's daughter was no longer a child, but a girl who was almost hair-length. At this age, she would definitely get married.

Ye Fu'an has no interest in the prince. Could it be that he wants to marry his daughter to the second prince

Ye Fu'an and Tixiao exchanged cups. They both drank a lot and were very drunk. Then they were helped upstairs.

Ye Fu'an arrived at the door and asked the maid: "Miss is still asleep?"

The maid nodded and said: "The young lady is still sleeping. Aunt Li went to the kitchen to make some snacks. Aunt Chen was watching from the side. If the young lady wakes up, the slaves will feed her something to eat. Master, please go and rest first." .”

Ye Fu'an nodded and returned to the room with his entourage.

...

Ye Lizhu felt that her body felt much more relaxed in the middle of the night. The feeling of ghosts pressing down on the bed in the past was gone. She opened her eyes and whispered: "Tea."

A woman quickly got tea and rinsed Ye Lizhu's mouth.

Ye Lizhu reluctantly sat up: "What time is it now? Where is my father?"

The mother-in-law said: "It's already time. I drank some wine and went back to the room to sleep. Miss, please stop crying. Your eyes are swollen like peaches. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Something to pad your belly?"

When Ye Lizhu was reminded by the mother-in-law, she thought of her mother Jiang again.

Her nose was sore, but she tried not to cry and said reluctantly: "Okay."

In this inn, the women can't make anything very good. Because Ye Lizhu had just come out of the temple, the women didn't know if she would eat meat, so they just stewed some Japonica rice porridge with ginseng and added some rock sugar.

Ye Lizhu didn't like the taste of ginseng, so she just touched her lips, took a sip of porridge, and ate a piece of pine cake.

She ate a little, but the mothers-in-law were afraid that she would not be able to heal and would hurt her stomach if she fell asleep, so they sent two maids to look outside.

At this time, in the middle of the night, a bright moon shines outside like daylight. The inn was surrounded by powerful slaves from the Ye family, and was guarded by dozens of soldiers and horses from the King of Qin. There were hundreds of heavy soldiers guarding the outside of the inn, so it was very safe.

A woman said: "Miss, you just had something to eat, so you can't lie down any longer. The night breeze outside is gentle, and it's not cold in May. I'll put a thin cloak around you. You can go out for a walk."

Ye Lizhu nodded.

Beauty under the moon is naturally a very beautiful sight. Ye Lizhu is wearing a green satin cloak, which is embroidered with complicated patterns with brilliant silver thread. She wears a moon-white skirt with clean and spotless skirt corners. Her black hair is thick and dazzling, and her hairpins are faintly shining with brilliance. .

Although he didn't see the girl's face and only her back, Ti Xiao felt that this girl should be very beautiful and unique.

He drank a few more glasses of wine and felt sullen in the room, not wanting to sleep. The moonlight outside was beautiful, so Ti Xiao wanted to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, he saw Ye Lizhu surrounded by everyone.

However, at this time, Ti Xiao still didn't know Ye Lizhu's name.

When he is alone in the dark, if he does not want to be discovered, no one can discover him.

The girl's long hair is extremely beautiful, hanging loosely behind her back, forming a very sharp contrast with the moon-white skirt and cyan cloak.

Tixiao heard the mother-in-law say a few words, and then heard Ye Lizhu say: "It's so late, please go up. You are surrounding me so densely that you make me unclean."

The mother-in-law looked around, but there was no one around. Most people could not enter the inner courtyard of the inn. If something happened, Ye Lizhu only had to shout and everyone would come out.

The whole group went back.

Without a group of people surrounding her, Ye Lizhu instantly felt much more relaxed.

When Ye Lizhu woke up, she felt that her body seemed to be much lighter. She felt like her chest was pressed by a stone when she was lying down, her shoulders were pressed down when she was sitting, and her feet seemed to be tripped by something when she stood up. Not so obvious anymore.

Master Wu Xin said that she was born at a bad time and was haunted by evil spirits, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.

But at this time, Ye Lizhu felt that her symptoms were much better. Without a layer of human cover, she felt even more relaxed.

Is it because this inn has good feng shui

Ye Lizhu turned around and took two steps forward. She felt like there was something in front of her. The further she walked, the more relaxed she felt.

Tixiao: “…”

When the girl turned around, he saw her face, and in an instant, an indescribable numbness passed through his heart.

This woman is a beauty and a disaster.

Ti Xiao began to hesitate.

If such a charming woman is given to the prince, will the prince be addicted to women all day long and lose his fighting spirit

Ye Lizhu's beauty cannot be easily expressed.

Pure and lustful, contradictory everywhere.

The cinnabar between her eyebrows sometimes makes people think she is innocent and naive, and sometimes makes people think she is charming and a little coquettish.

Her eyelashes are extremely long, and her peach blossom eyes are naturally blurry and watery, as if they are alluring, and they are slightly red and swollen from crying. But when he looked carefully, he found that her eyes were very clean and clear, with no other distractions.

The slender and straight nose bridge is beautiful, but the most beautiful thing is her lips, which are as full as petals and slightly moist. Just looking at them makes people want to kiss her.

Ti Xiao took two steps back.

The prince has not been to Qin for many years, and only through letters, he does not know how good the prince's concentration is and whether he can control this witch.

Moreover, Ti Xiao didn't know Ye Lizhu's character. She is so beautiful, she looks like a demon and a fairy at the same time, and her temperament is inevitably different from that of ordinary women. If this woman is a disaster like Daji Baosi, wouldn't she be harming his nephew

If that's true... Will he be able to kill this disaster again

Ye Lizhu walked forward curiously. She was closer to Ti Xiao and felt more relaxed.

Tixiao couldn't bear it anymore, he pressed the knife on his waist, turned around and left.

Ye Lizhu: "Huh?"
