The next day, the first thing Ye Jiayou did when he woke up was to shout "Zhuzhu". The maid hurriedly came over and covered his mouth: "Don't scream, the lady is still asleep."

Ye Jiayou sat up and asked the maids to dress him. He said, "What time is it now?"

The maid said: "At three o'clock, the kitchen has prepared breakfast for you. You can eat quickly and go to school."

After Ye Jiayou got dressed and washed, he had breakfast outside. He kept listening to what was going on inside. When he was about to finish eating, he heard a nanny inside saying: "Miss, wake up. Bring water and medicine!" Keep it cold on the side and keep the honey ready.”

Several little maids picked up the curtain, served tea, water and medicine, and were so busy that their feet did not touch the floor. Ye Jiayou took a few more mouthfuls and walked inside: "Zhuzhu!"

Ye Lizhu smiled and said, "Come in."

She changed her clothes, washed herself, and sat by the dressing mirror while the maid combed her hair.

Ye Lizhu is wearing a lotus root powder and Heyun brocade dress. Her hair is like clouds and mist. The black hair is loose and not messy. It is just draped softly behind her back. She is cleaner and more beautiful than the luster of the brocade dress. Her face is small and she has just woken up. There was no blood at all, and the lips were also white, looking sickly.

Ye Jiayou said from the side: "Zhuzhu, you don't have to go and say hello to your wife later. The two aunts will definitely come to your side. These two aunts are rude. If they say anything that makes you unhappy, just let grandma teach you a lesson." Don't beat them too much, you just came back, no one can die at home."

The maid put down the sandalwood comb and brought a few hostas to Ye Lizhu's eyes. Ye Lizhu pointed at one and said, "I'm not that cruel. How can I teach others easily?"

Ye Jiayou said: "Mommy knows how to do it. Just give them a show of strength. Zhuzhu, I'm going to school. Wait until I come back to eat in the evening. I'll eat in your courtyard."

Another maid brought the medicinal soup. The grandma took it and was about to feed Ye Lizhu. She caught a glimpse of the honey on the side and scolded the maid again: "It's not linden honey, it's jujube honey. Why don't you change it!"

The maid hurried out.

In another courtyard, after Mrs. Wu got up, she was having breakfast. The maid Xing'er beside her said: "It's almost past midnight. Why haven't you seen the eldest lady coming to greet you? Although the eldest lady is noble, she always has to see you. Madam, you are the mistress of the house."

Wu Shi smiled and said: "She is not in good health, and the master has spoiled her rotten. If you don't want to come over, please don't come over."

Xing'er walked out and asked around again after leaving the yard. A quarter of an hour later, Xing'er came back and Wu Shi also had breakfast.

Xing'er sat next to Wu and beat her legs: "She didn't come because she wanted us to go and pay her respects. How can there be such a reason in the world that a mother should pay her respects to her daughter instead! Aunt Liang and Aunt Zhou Baba went there without even seeing her face! She asked the nun next to her to beat her and go back."

The last time Wu saw Ye Lizhu was nine years ago. At that time, Wu was just an aunt. Ye Lizhu was born as if she were made of pink and jade, as if she were made of snow. She looked delicate, but was quiet and well-behaved.

I don’t know what happened to Ye Lizhu after so many years.

Wu said: "I'll go see the lady later and ask the kitchen people to prepare two exquisite snacks to take with me."

Xing'er pursed her lips and said, "Why? Master spoils her, and if you show weakness to her again, she will only look down on us here, and will not tolerate us in the house from now on."

Xing'er was the maid who reassured her most. Wu touched the emerald blue gemstone ring on her hand and said, "Why bother with her? Half of her feet are already in the coffin."

...

Ye Jiayou entered the school, but before his master came, the two boys beside him put down his things for him, poured tea and put it on the table.

Prince Chen's son Tao Hanwen also arrived early. He held a fan in his hand and sat next to Ye Jiayou: "Jiayou, what, have you seen your sister? Has your sister agreed to come out?"

Ye Jiayou crossed his legs on the table: "My sister has been taking medicine for the past two days. She can't see the wind or the sun. My father even hired craftsmen to build a big garden in the suburbs for my sister to escape the summer heat. Look at what happened recently. In this weather, it’s still too hot to put two buckets of ice in the house, let alone go out to enjoy the broken flowers.”

Tao Hanwen said "tsk": "You are really not interesting."

Ye Jiayou said: "Gungun, I'm not interesting enough. Don't sit next to me in the next exam and ask me to write four or six essays for you."

Tao Hanwen said hurriedly: "No, I'm just talking casually. Good brother, can't I apologize?"

King Chen was neutral in the court and did not associate with the crown prince or the second prince. Back then, King Chen's sister Xian Fei became pregnant the second year after entering the palace. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage and could no longer conceive a child. Therefore, Tao Hanwen is the legitimate son of King Chen, but the Tao family has a great business and he has several cousins. Ye Jiayou knows that Tao Hanwen is probably thinking about his cousins.

He said: "If you really treat me as a brother, you should make it clear that she is my biological sister. Even if the prince likes me, I will not be happy. Who the hell wants other men to covet their own sister? Hanwen, if you want It's okay to inquire about something. If you have other thoughts, let me make it clear first. My sister is not in good health. No matter who enters the house, if anyone dares to have a side room or an outer room, I will be the first to kill him before my father takes action. Got him."

Tao Hanwen's heart froze: "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Especially with a family background like ours, which man doesn't have intercourse? Even Princess Huyang's concubine also raised four concubines in the house, your father's woman Quite a few, why do you insist on marrying her only when you come to your sister's place?"

"My family is like this, my father and I are so domineering." The emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married, and the prime minister's daughter has no worries about getting married. Ye Jiayou knows that, let alone his sister who looks like a fairy, even if she is as ugly as a devil, There will also be a succession of marriage seekers. There are thousands of good-looking women, but Ye Fu'an's daughter is the only one. "Those cousins of yours, some are playing pedophilia, some are playing pedophiles, and some are raising heads. To be honest, it's a good thing that I treat you as a brother. If If others come to inquire, I won’t give you the face to waste so many words here.”

Tao Hanwen didn't care about Ye Jiayou's harsh words. If Ye Jiayou didn't treat him as a brother, he would just slap him and get over the matter. He really wouldn't say so much.

Tao Hanwen hesitated for a moment and said: "You just mentioned the prince, Jiayou, to be honest, the prince and your sister are really possible. I stayed in the palace yesterday, and I went to the queen's place with my aunt half an hour before going to bed. I listened to the queen's wishes. Tomorrow The prince and King Qin will go to your house, and King Qin seems to be interested in intervening in the prince's marriage. If your sister enters the East Palace, and King Qin is supporting the prince, you really can't control the prince's concubinage."

"Prince Qin and the Crown Prince are going to my house today?" Ye Jiayou didn't expect that these two people would move so quickly. He wanted to skip class and go home to have a look. At this time, the bell rang, and Ye Jiayou's deskmate, Duke Dunguo, Sun Dian ran in with a fat body, and the master also came in stroking his beard.

Ye Jiayou had no choice but to give up.

Prince Zhao Yun indeed accompanied King Qin to Ye Mansion.

Zhao Yun also got wind of it, saying that Ye Fu'an had brought his daughter home, and Ti Xiao had the intention to win over Ye Fu'an, possibly to ask Zhao Yun to marry Ye Nu.

Zhao Yun knew that his marriage was probably a political marriage and that he had no choice but to make the decision himself. He doesn't care whether Ye Nu is round or flat, beautiful or ugly, gentle or mean-tempered, as long as she is Ye Fu'an's daughter and Ye Fu'an loves her enough, that's all.

However, along the way, Tixiao unusually didn't say a word.

Zhao Yun has been looking at Ti Xiao.

Ti Xiao sat aside, holding a celadon wine cup in his hand. Ti Xiao's eyebrows were deep and cold, which usually made people dare not look directly at him. But now, because he was deep in thought, his eyes softened a bit.

Zhao Yun didn't know what Ti Xiao was thinking.

When they almost arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Yun finally spoke: "Uncle."

Ti Xiao glanced at him lazily: "Huh?"

Zhao Yun said: "I heard that Ye Nu is not well. That day in front of the palace, His Majesty wanted Zhao Yi to marry Ye Nu. Listening to Ye Fu'an's wishes, Ye Nu can't bear any injustice... If we get to the East Palace, within a few days , Ye Nu died of illness, will Ye Fu'an hate us because of this?"

Ti Xiao looked at Zhao Yun up and down: "Why do you want Ye Nu to enter the East Palace?"

Zhao Yun: "???"

Zhao Yun said: "Uncle, is this not what you meant?"

Tixiao snorted coldly: "What do I mean? When will I tell you that I want you to marry Ye Nu?"

Zhao Yun said: "Uncle, you had a drink with Ye Fu'an the day before yesterday, and yesterday you gave Ye Jiayou a string of beads. You suddenly showed your favor to the Ye family. Everyone thought you wanted me to marry Ye Nu. Now you say no... Could it be possible, it's just pure court?"

Tixiao closed his eyes: "Not innocent, Ye Nu has nothing to do with you, don't think about her."

Zhao Yun has never even met Ye Lizhu, how could he miss her. I heard that Ye Lizhu was sick. Zhao Yun didn't like sick beauties. He liked those with big breasts, thin waist, plump and charming ones. However - Ti Xiao's attitude is really ambiguous.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "Uncle is interested in Ye Nu?"

After all, Zhao Yun is a junior, and Ye Lizhu is younger than Zhao Yun, so Ti Xiao also feels bad.

Ti Xiao coughed lowly: "No intention."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he also gave up the speculation in this regard. He likes healthy beauties, so he naturally feels that Ti Xiao has similar tastes to him.

To be honest, Zhao Yun thought that the scene of a sickly woman like pampas grass standing next to the nine-foot-tall iceberg-like King Qin was really... uncomfortable for the eyes.

Ti Xiao has been devoid of desire and affection for many years, and Zhao Yun has never seen any woman who can really get close to him. Ye Nu was raised in an ancient temple in the mountains and has never met Ti Xiao. Zhao Yun thought that Ti Xiao might not want to use marriage. To win over Ye Fu'an, he was afraid of causing too many misunderstandings and did not allow himself to have any contact with Ye Nu.

Thinking like this, Zhao Yun also calmed down.

At this time, Ti Xiao suddenly said: "Yun'er, do you think girls will like older men?"

Zhao Yun: "Ah? This..."

Tixiao is in his twenties, not very old, but compared with Ye Nu, who is still in her late teens, she is a little older.

Being asked such a question for the first time, Zhao Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "It depends on how old you are. If it is a 70 or 80-year-old bad old man like Taifu Liu, I will be annoyed to see that old face, and the girl will definitely be even more annoyed. If Everyone likes a man like my uncle who is in his prime, holds a high position, looks better than Pan An, and is more talented than Song Yu."
