Ye Lizhu staggered away again, and Ti Xiao stared at her back until she disappeared completely.

Ye Lizhu's walking posture is very beautiful, her waist is swaying lightly, and her posture is graceful, just like a water lotus in the wind.

Her waist is too thin, barely enough to hold in one hand, and looks very soft. I wonder what it will feel like to hold this slender waist in my hands.

Ye Lizhu returned to the original pavilion, and Grandma Chen and others also searched for her for a long time.

Grandma Chen said: "Miss, where have you been? The Prime Minister's Mansion is too big. I will show you the way another day. If you don't know the road, don't walk around alone."

Ye Lizhu nodded: "Mother Chen, I understand."

Grandma Chen said: "The sun is shining brightly, Xiaohong, hold an umbrella for the lady so that she doesn't get too much sun."

A girl wearing a pink maid uniform hurried over and placed an umbrella on Ye Lizhu's head.

The maid's eyes were big and gleaming, showing her cleverness. She said: "Miss, I will hold an umbrella for you."

Ye Lizhu walked to the left of the maid. Seeing that the maid looked pretty good, she asked a few more questions casually: "Your name is Xiaohong? How old are you this year?"

Xiao Hong smiled and said: "I was originally called Honghua, but others thought it was tacky, so I just called her Xiao Hong. I am sixteen years old this year."

After returning to Jingshui Xuan, Ye Lizhu read for a while, and after lunch, he sat lazily beside the couch and embroidered.

Grandma Chen saw that Xiaohong had caught Ye Lizhu's eye and there were always two young maids serving tea and water in the room, so she urged Xiaohong to pour tea for Ye Lizhu.

Xiao Hong is also smart, knowing that there are nearly a dozen maids and women in Jingshui Xuan, and only a few of them can enter the house to serve them. If the young lady takes a fancy to them, she might be able to serve them in the house from now on.

She brewed a cup of tea and put her hands in front of Ye Lizhu: "Miss, please use the tea. This is this year's new tea. Dragon group beats snow. The palace only gets twenty cakes a year. Only empresses above the fourth concubine can get it." It’s useful, we got ten loaves in our house, kept three loaves with the master, sent three loaves to the young master, and left the rest with you.”

Ye Lizhu looked at the tea soup. The tea soup was actually snow-white. The dragon group beat the snow, right in the word "win the snow".

She took a sip and said, "You are really sharp-tongued. Don't call me Xiaohong. It's too common. Just change your name to Yusha."

Xiaohong got a new name and was immediately happy: "Thank you, Miss, for the name!"

Ye Lizhu nodded and put down the tea he had tasted: "I'm going to take a nap for a while, you guys go down."

The maids did not dare to stay long, so they closed the windows, took out the ice basin, and closed the curtains.

Ye Lizhu lay on the couch fully clothed. There was a tightness in her chest and she still felt uncomfortable. Before falling asleep, Ye Lizhu was thinking about going to the wall again this evening.

...

After Ti Xiao went back, the conversation between Zhao Yun and Ye Fu'an was not over yet. Zhao Yun was eloquent and Ye Fu'an had a lotus tongue. After Ti Xiao sat down, Ye Fu'an touched his beard and said: "His Royal Highness came to the capital this time, thousands of miles away." It’s far away, so I need to stay for a while.”

Tixiao said: "I will leave after staying for five more days. There are many affairs in Xianzhou and I can't escape."

After listening to Ti Xiao's words, Ye Fu'an felt relieved for the time being. He wished that Ti Xiao would leave early. In the capital, everyone from the emperor to the ministers was keeping a close eye on Ti Xiao.

Prince Zhao Yun poured a glass of wine for Ti Xiao. Ti Xiao picked up the glass and glanced at Ye Fu'an casually: "I heard that Miss Ye is gentle and virtuous, and has both good fortune and wisdom. I wonder if the Prime Minister has engaged your wife."

Ye Fu'an: "!!!"

The big-tailed wolf finally can't hide anymore, can it

Do you want to bring the prince and his precious daughter together

Ye Fu'an said: "It's true that she is gentle and virtuous, and it's true that Lan Zhihui has a heart. However, the little girl is not very lucky. She is very sick, let alone a prosperous husband. The marriage has not been decided yet. She has grown up and has her own husband. I don’t want to have any influence on her marriage, so I’d rather let her make her own choice.”

Although Ye Fu'an said this, in fact, he was the one who made the final decision on Ye Lizhu's marriage. When the time comes, which young man Ye Fu'an thinks has a good background and good looks, let Ye Lizhu meet him. If Ye Lizhu is satisfied, he will make a decision.

After all, Ye Lizhu is a lady of the family. She usually lives in a boudoir, so how many people can she see

Tixiao took a sip of the wine and smiled: "Choose by yourself?"

Zhao Yun filled Ti Xiao's glass of wine again, and he was just listening to see how the two people discussed.

Ye Fu'an said happily: "I'm not in a hurry, and neither is my daughter. After all, she is still young and needs to be raised at home for two more years. Hey - Your Highness, King Qin, why don't you marry the princess? Seeing the prince waiting for the younger generation They are all about to get married, and you don’t have a princess yet. Brother, I’m also very worried. I’ve got two new dancers here, from Jiangnan, why don’t you take a look?”

Ti Xiao sneered. Who wants to be called brothers to Ye Fu'an

Just as he was talking, Ye Fu'an clapped his hands, the screen was separated, and a group of boldly dressed dancers actually jumped out.

Ye Fu'an has always had a good eye. These dancers have graceful postures and beautiful singing voices.

It's a pity that Ti Xiao doesn't like this group of vulgar fans at all.

Ye Fu'an said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be crowned next year, right? The daughters of Lao Lin and Lao Deng's family are both good. If the Crown Prince chooses a concubine in the capital, their two families are the most suitable. I came back last night and talked about this matter with my daughter. , the little girl is young and ignorant, and said that it would be great if she had an older sister. She is young and weak and can only stay in the boudoir. If she has an older sister who is two years older, she will marry the prince's brother who is admired by everyone. "

Zhao Yun: “…”

These four words, Prince Brother, are really unbearable.

Ye Fu'an, an old fox, just said so if he didn't want his daughter to be involved with them. He beat around the bush, saying that his daughter was unlucky, and then letting her choose by herself. Finally, he changed his mind and said that her daughter was too young. If it were normal, Ye Nu would have called him brother, but now, his uncle seemed to be interested in Ye Nu, and calling him brother really upset Zhao Yun.

The dancer was still singing and dancing, and several musicians were playing music. Tixiao made a gesture and glanced at the musicians coldly.

The musician was frightened by King Qin's gaze and stopped playing immediately.

Tixiao said: "Get out!"

The dancers also stopped singing and dancing, and stood in a row, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

Ye Fu'an touched his beard: "Are these people not in the eyes of King Qin?"

Ti Xiao narrowed his eyes: "I have no such interest."

Ye Fu'an smiled and said: "The King of Qin is really picky. You all should stand down."

Ti Xiao knew that at this time, if he told Ye Fu'an directly that he was attracted to Ye Lizhu, Ye Fu'an would probably be pissed to death.

Everything the old fox said or did made him unhappy, so Tixiao would naturally not make Ye Fuan feel comfortable.

Tixiao smiled coldly and said: "It's getting late, Prince, we should leave. Prime Minister Ye, Miss Ye has just come back, hasn't she seen the Queen yet? Let her go into the palace another day, pay greetings to the Queen, and talk to her Let’s get to know the prince’s brother too.”

Zhao Yun felt a chill go down his spine.

Ye Fu'an: "Huh?"

Tixiao's smile became colder and colder, and his eyes became extremely gloomy: "This matter has been settled. The queen's people will come to pick her up at six o'clock tomorrow."

Ye Fu'an went through what he just said.

Isn't his meaning clear enough? Ye Lizhu was unlucky, weak, young, and not suitable for the prince. How could Ti Xiao be so annoying and deliberately let Ye Lizhu go to the queen

He wouldn't let Ye Lizhu marry. Could it be that Ti Xiao still wanted the prince to marry him by force

Ye Fu'an said: "My little girl is sick and can't walk around."

Tixiao saw the old fox lying without changing his expression, and sneered: "It just so happened that the queen had an imperial physician by her side, so she brought Miss Ye into the palace to show the imperial physician a look. Prime Minister Ye, you won't deny me the respect of the king and the queen, right? ?”

Ye Fu'an really wanted to turn over the table and say no.

But Tixiao is a man who must retaliate for his anger and cannot be offended easily. If he is offended, he will ask the emperor to grant a marriage in a rage, which is really impossible to retreat.

Ye Fu'an thought for a while, and based on Ye Lizhu's physical condition, the queen would definitely not be happy to let her marry the prince. Besides, the prince would also be worried about what would happen to Ye Lizhu after marrying her.

Just ask the imperial doctor to take a look at Ye Lizhu, let the prince know, and give up the idea.

Ye Fu'an knew Ye Lizhu's temperament. Although Ye Lizhu had been in the temple for many years and didn't have much contact with people, she was elegant and taciturn, and generally did not make mistakes.

Ye Fu'an said: "That's fine, let me go into the palace tomorrow to pay my respects to the Queen, and then let the imperial doctor take a look."

Ti Xiao's expression softened a lot, and he glanced at Ye Fu'an with a half-smile: "Then I'll be waiting."

Ye Fu'an always felt that something was wrong. Ti Xiao's expression seemed to be plotting against him, but for a moment, Ye Fu'an couldn't figure out what was wrong.
