Since then, Ye Yingzhi has lived in the mansion temporarily rented by Chi Yan, and has really lived a normal married life with him.
The Yong Dynasty was open to people, and although there were few cases of marrying male wives, it was not very surprising. The neighbors had seen Ye Yingzhi, and the attendants in the family also explained that this was Lord Chi's wife.
Chi Yan was afraid at first. Every night when he was hugged by Ye Yingzhi and made out, he didn't dare to move or make too much noise, but he didn't dare to refuse what Ye Yingzhi did. Come. Later, he slowly got used to it, and he was no longer as tense and stiff as at first, and his body relaxed somewhat, but it was still not as sticky and intimate as when he was newly married.
Ye Yingzhi would sometimes sigh and kiss his forehead and eyes while he was sleeping, but he knew that there was no good way, only to let Chi Yan get used to it slowly.
The scientific examination ended in May, Chi Yan took office in June, and Ye Yingzhi came over not long after. The government office was busy with affairs, and when Chi Yan took office as a new official, he was in a hurry. He dealt with government affairs during the day, and at night, he had to meet Ye Yingzhi's demands. end.
But this year has not been uneventful.
After three years of lingering sickness, the emperor finally passed away at the end of October. His sons are thin, leaving only one youngest son who is less than five years old.
Of course, a four-year-old child can't do anything, and the court was thrown into chaos for a time. After all parties fought openly and secretly, they finally decided to invite King Heng to serve as the regent.
Chi Yan has just entered the officialdom, and he is very soft-spoken, not even qualified to go to court every day. He doesn't take the initiative to stand in line to find trouble, even major events such as the death of the previous emperor and the battle of the previous dynasty have nothing to do with him, so he just heard some gossip and continued to do what he was doing.
It is said that this King Heng and the first emperor are actually brothers, and King Heng is also the only son of the queen, who should inherit the throne logically. However, he was frail since childhood and spent many years recuperating outside the home. Later, for various reasons, he was made emperor by his concubine brother, the current late emperor. As for the inside story of the previous generation's struggle for the throne, why the always healthy late emperor suddenly contracted a sudden illness three years ago, and why King Heng, who has not returned to Beijing for many years, was put on the throne of the regent, this is not the matter of Chi Yan. This kind of junior faculty knew, but he didn't have much interest in inquiring. Even if he inquired, he would not be able to inquire about this kind of thing.
At the end of the year, it is necessary to walk around with the officials, but Chi Yan has no savings and no support from home, so there are very few gifts that can be handed out. When the housekeepers of several officials' homes saw the gift list, obvious contempt flashed in their eyes.
But Chi Yan didn't care. He was taught by his husband since he was a child, and he couldn't help being a bit bookish.
At the end of the year, the Ministry of Accounts checked the accounts and found a shortfall. Chi Yan originally thought it had nothing to do with him, and still acted as his messenger as usual. Unexpectedly, after going to the yamen one morning, he saw a group of officials waiting in his office room. , and put him and several officials in the same room into jail on the charge of embezzling funds from the Ministry of Households.
Chi Yan also had several friends in the capital, most of whom met when preparing for the scientific examination. One of them, Xu Feng, was from the capital city. He had a little background in his family. After he passed the entrance exam, he was assigned an errand for the household department, and he often asked Chi Yan to come out for small gatherings.
He was the first to react when he heard what happened to the Ministry of Household, and hurriedly asked the relationship to visit Chi Yan in the prison, and whispered to persuade: "Brother Chi, you have made a point. This time, it is obvious that Someone above wants to cover up the person who really caused this shortfall, so we have to find a scapegoat from the Ministry of Households. You can see that the people arrested this time have no background or backing, and they are not allowed to be favored by those senior officials in Beijing. But now It's not that there is no way out, I'll inform your family, find officials who can talk about it, act as soon as possible, and you can be picked up."
Chi Yan of course understood that what Xu Feng said was mostly true, and for his own good, but at first he felt that he was really innocent in this matter, and he held a glimmer of hope that Lang Lang Qian Kun would never confuse right and wrong like this. ; Second, he really has nothing to say in the capital, and even if he goes to activities, the effect is probably not great.
Seeing his hesitant appearance, Xu Feng guessed what he might be worrying about, and sighed with a hammer: "Brother Chi, that shortfall is not a small amount, the regent has already personally investigated and dealt with it, maybe it is a From the beginning, I want to find out who is behind it. The people who are really concerned are naturally rushing to find a scapegoat. When life and death are at stake, what else do you have to worry about?! You don't care whether those relationships are related or not, there are only two people in contact with each other. Words, one love, one benefit, most people's relationships have not yet reached the point of love, that is, money and interests pave the way, if you make more money, someone will naturally come forward to protect you!"
Hearing that, Chi Yan was even more silent. His salary is meager, and his family is controlled by his mother, who rarely gives him financial support. He has supported the family's food and clothing for more than half a year, and he has not saved any savings at all. Now that things are urgent, even if Xiu Shu goes to the clan to ask for help, it may not be too late.
Xu Feng is loyal, and directly said to Chi Yan: "You don't have to worry about the money. If you don't have enough, take it directly from me. There is always a time when people can pay back."
He was afraid that Chi Yan would not know which officials would be able to talk about this matter, so he analyzed it with Chi Yan and concluded, "Only these adults can call the shots, I will inform your family members, and I will report to you. These adults are going to the event."
Chi Yan nodded, grateful beyond words, finally nodded and replied softly: "Then there is brother Lao Xu."
It was said that Xu Feng personally went to Chi Yan's house to tell Uncle Zheng the news. After all, the old man has less knowledge, and Xu Feng said that it was a major case. If he was really wronged, he might be in danger of being distributed or even beheaded. At that time, he almost fainted.
After Xu Feng left, he scrambled into the room to ask to see his wife. Uncle Zheng knew how much salary Chi Yan had, except for the usual expenses of supporting the family, there was not much left. Madam doesn't need his young master to hand over his salary, so Chi Yan's monthly salary is handed over to Uncle Zheng. Chi Yan is an upright official, and the old man lives carefully every month without saving too much money. It is impossible to impress those greedy wolves and leopards with this little money.
So Uncle Zheng planned to ask his wife for help. He knew that his wife's family was rich, and the so-called "marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog", if the young master is involved in matters related to his life, the wife must not sit idly by.
After hearing what Zheng Bo said, Ye Yingzhi's face turned gloomy, and after asking what Xu Feng said, he pondered for a moment: "When I came, I asked Xingyu to take 500,000 taels of silver notes with me, I don't know if 500,000 is enough to save Ah Yan's life."
Uncle Zheng was shocked when he heard it. He knew that his wife's family was rich, but he didn't know that she had just brought 500,000 taels of silver notes when she came out! He had never imagined such a huge amount in his life!
Ye Yingzhi softened his face slightly and turned to him, soothingly said: "You can arrange this matter, Uncle Zheng. How much money is needed, just take it from Xingyu, don't be stingy. I also have some connections in the capital, in short, I don't know. An accident happened to Ah Yan."
Zheng Bo took a reassurance from his wife, and hurriedly went to the younger maid Xingyu to draw the check. This matter was of great importance, and he didn't dare to give it to others, so he and Xingyu personally visited the officials who were instructed by Xu Feng to visit and give gifts.
Chi Yan had nothing to do in the prison, and could only sit and wait for news, but Xu Feng was the only one who could get first-hand news from the imperial court and move into the prison.
He couldn't sleep even when he had something on his mind. That night, he lay on the cold and rough stone bed in the prison with his eyes closed and doze off. During half-dreaming and half-awake, he only felt that something cold was entangled in him, blowing cold air on the back of his neck.
Chi Yan was taken aback and thought that there was something unclean in this prison. When he opened his eyes quickly, he saw Ye Yingzhi was lying behind him and hugged him. He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, put it in his ear and said, "A Yan is not good, how can he not go home at night and let my husband keep the empty room alone."
Chi Yan was already full of humiliation and resentment of being wronged, and when she heard this, she felt even more wronged, and turned her head to look at him hatefully.
Ye Yingzhi was moved by him, smiled slightly, kissed the back of his neck and muttered: "Baby, hold back a little, don't make a sound, don't invite people... My baby is wronged, come here Let my husband take good care of you."
Chi Yan was tossed around in the prison all night, and he didn't dare to make a sound. It was only later that he realized that Ye Yingzhi should have used some kind of cover-up, so their reckless actions were not discovered in the end.
When he woke up the next morning, Ye Yingzhi was no longer there, but he was refreshed without feeling tired, and he didn't know what Ye Yingzhi was using.
The way to clean it up for him.
In this way, Chi Yan was imprisoned for ten days, but he did not suffer any crime. After all, they have official positions, and they live in single-room cells, and there is no need for any punishment. Every morning and evening, a kid with a green face and teeth burrows out of the wall to deliver meals to him, without speaking, just put down the lunch box Go, take back the stone box in an hour or two, and the meals in the food box are the craftsmanship of the master of Zuixianglou in the capital; Ye Yingzhi will come over in person when he falls asleep at night, and he will always take care of it. After meeting him a few times, the normal married life was not delayed at all because of his imprisonment.
One time, Chi Yan insisted that he didn't fall asleep, and found that Ye Yingzhi didn't know what technique he used after finishing him, and took him to a very rich and beautiful place.
In the grand mansion, he was cleaned in a hot spring pool carved with ink and jade, and then he was carried back to the soft hibiscus bed with a golden gauze drape, and he was coaxed to sleep until dawn the next day. He went back to jail.
Perhaps it was because Zheng Bo got his place in his activities. One night, a man who looked like a housekeeper came to visit Chi Yan and said with a smile, "Lord Chi, I see that you are a smart person. My lord is willing to help you. There will be an interrogation tomorrow, so you don't need to. For Mr. Chi to do anything else, it is only necessary for Mr. Chi to identify Liu Suzeng, who was in the same room with you, and return to the official office alone on the night of the tenth day of the first day."
Chi Yan frowned inwardly and asked as calmly as possible, "Then who is your lord?"
The butler smiled, dipped in the sleeping foam and wrote the word "cloud" on the table, with a somewhat proud face on his face.
The surname Yun was uncommon at first, but Chi Yan, the famous Yun family in the court, could only think of one, and that was the mother family of the first empress. Back then, the Yun family supported Xiandi Deng
Ji, after the daughter entered the palace, the two sons met with each other and worshipped the generals, and they were all prominent for a while. Although the late emperor had died, the young emperor was still sent by the late queen, and the Yun family's power was still unshakable.
But the Yun family secretly formed a party, manipulated the government, and persecuted courtiers. Although no one dared to offend them openly, they were just and free. Except for Yun
The family is one party, and there are not a few officials in the DPRK and China who are dissatisfied with it.
Naturally, Chi Yan had also heard about the deeds of the Yun family. He looked at the man in front of him and pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "But although I was on duty on the tenth day of the first day, I didn't see Master Liu ever come back."
The butler's face changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "This is not a trivial matter, Lord Chi has figured it out? My Lord does intend to help Lord Chi, but it is also necessary to
Adults should understand things themselves, don't waste a piece of your family's painstaking efforts. "
Chi Yan realized that it was indeed Uncle Zheng and the others that their activities had paid off, and he didn't know how much money was given to this party to impress them.
He made perjury to frame his peers, something he could never do.
So he narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "Yes, I have indeed never seen Master Liu."
The housekeeper understood what he meant, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and he threw a sentence: "Lord Chi, it's better not to seek death!" He got up and left.
Chi Yan smiled in the sun, he really cherished his life and wanted a better life, but there are things that people can do in this world, but there are things they can't do in this world.
I will do it as well; if you can't ask for it, follow what I like."
If you want him to be a minion of the Yun family in exchange for rising sky, wealth and glory, and abandoning the axiom and justice that he upholds in his heart, then he refuses;
He will frame his colleagues in exchange for his own peace and joy, and he will not do the same. Even if Liu Su has a normal relationship with him, his attitude towards him is a bit mean. But this is his principle and persistence, and it has nothing to do with what kind of person Liu Su is.
Of course, he also knew that he was so "disobedient", not to mention the support of the Yun family, and he was even hated by the master of the Yun family, and his situation was worse than before.
He and Xu Feng have a strong friendship. When Xu Feng came to visit the prison, he learned about the incident, and he couldn't help but nod Chi Yan's head and scolded him: "Zhi Zi, do you know what happened to you this time? You are not willing to go all the way with the surnamed Yun, Even if you are on the opposite side of them, if you dare to fight against the Yun family, I am afraid that no one will dare to rescue you this time, but you will be charged by them 100% of the time!"
Of course, Chi Yan understood early in the morning, but after Xu Feng said this, he realized that his future is indeed difficult this time, and I am afraid that there is no hope of being exempted. Can they be so lawless and frame the courtiers? Can no one be able to cure them?"
"Of course there are." Xu Feng hated that he didn't know how to work around it, he dug a dead end for himself, and snorted, "If His Royal Highness Prince Regent is willing to stand up for you, of course the Yun family will not dare to embarrass you."
But who is the regent? Xu Feng knew in his heart that although His Royal Highness Prince Heng had only returned to the palace for a short time, he actually had the upper hand from the moment he returned to the palace. In the end, I didn't fight this prince, and now they are also being suppressed. It's just that the hundred-footed worm is dead and not stiff. King Heng is busy dealing with the northwest border and hasn't had time to clean up this group of people. In name, he is the regent, but in fact his power is the same as that of the emperor, but if he wants to reach the sky and let the regent make the decision for a small seven-rank official like him, how can it be so easy.
Chi Yan certainly understood what Xu Feng meant by this sentence, but as if he had found a life-saving straw, he took off his outer robe and tore off a piece of his inner garment, removed a straw from the straw mat, and dipped it in the corner of the wall. The black ash hurriedly wrote. His outer robe was already stained with dirt, but his inner garment was still clean and white, so Chi Yan deliberately tore off his inner garment so as not to appear disrespectful.
He hurriedly wrote a love letter, rolled it up and handed it to Xu Feng, begging: "Brother Xu, please help me to send this letter to His Royal Highness Prince Heng. , I will do my best and obey the destiny.”
"You, you are looking for trouble!" Xu Feng scolded fiercely, but he couldn't refuse his friend's ardent request. In the end, he helped him this time. It took a lot of time to help him send the letter to the regent. On the palace.
That night, Ye Yingzhi naturally came to see Chi Yan in the prison as usual. After unbuttoning his robe, he found that his undershirt was missing a piece.
Bian rubbed his palms and asked in a low voice, "Ayan, tell me, who has torn you here?"
Chi Yan was bullied by him for a few days in a row, and she was unwilling to explain to him, turned her head and kept silent, and was punished severely by Ye Yingzhi using this as an excuse.
Three days later, Xu Feng also brought the latest good news, saying that the regent did not know if he had read his love letter, but in short, he heard about the Ministry of Housing.
He was so furious that he had ordered someone to conduct a thorough investigation, hoping that he would be able to return his innocence.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the case to come to light, and this was an opportunity to find out a major corruption case, and all the people involved were dealt with and released.
All those who were implicated and wronged by the innocent like Chi Yan were released, and the officials were reinstated.
On the day of the release, Uncle Zheng and Ye Yingzhi went to pick up Chi Yan to go home, Xu Feng went to visit him at Chi Yan's house, and said during the meal, "Chi, this time you can turn the crisis into safety, thanks to the Prince Regent. You should go to the meeting and thank you, even if you can't see the prince, you should at least submit a greeting card to express your feelings."
"Although this incident did not affect the Yun family on the surface, the regent actually distributed Xueyou Lu who committed the crime, which is equivalent to breaking a powerful arm of the Yun family. In their hearts, they have nothing to do with the Prince Regent himself. Maybe they will find the love letter you wrote at the time, and they will turn their anger on you. In addition, you clearly refused to be with them at the time, so the Yun family may not let it go this time. past you."
"The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Although the Yun family's power has not been as strong as before, since the regent came to power, it is still as easy to clean up a small official like us as it is to kill an ant. You don't even have to do it yourself, naturally there will be them. The minions try to figure out the master's intentions to deal with you. So now you have only two ways to go with the ruler. One is to resign and return home before they attack, so as to stay away from these right and wrong from now on; The noble person, as their backer, at least make them feel that you are already the prince's person and dare not touch you easily."
Chi Yan has been studying hard for 20 years, and has finally come to this point. Naturally, he is unwilling to resign and return to his hometown, and he is even more unwilling to face his stepmother's family. Therefore, it is indeed the best for him to go to meet the regent to show his goodwill. s Choice.
King Heng is the real phoenix and the dragon's grandson, and now he actually controls the political dignitaries in the DPRK. It must not be easy to get close to him and get his eyes.
thing.
However, even so, Chi Yan has to give it a try now. Besides, it is absolutely true that he was saved thanks to the Regent this time.
Thanks anyway.
Chi Yan didn't have the plan that the Prince Regent would summon him, and only personally prepared a thank-you gift and sent it to Prince Heng's mansion together with a letter of thanks.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked out of the gate, the housekeeper hurriedly stopped him, bowed respectfully and said, "Master Chi, please stay, my lord invites Master Chi to come in and talk."
Chi Yan heard it strangely, but he had to obey King Heng's orders, not to mention being able to meet King Heng was a great honor for him. his heart
Zhong was terrified and apprehensive, and followed the housekeeper carefully.
The housekeeper led him all the way to share the flowers and willows, through the corridors, around the Qushui Huachi, and finally stopped in front of a grand and solemn house, and said respectfully:
"Master Chi, the lord is inside, please come in."
Chi Yan felt a little overwhelmed at the thought of meeting such a big man, and hurriedly walked in after saying "yes".
After he went in, he realized that it was a little strange. King Heng wanted to see him, but it was not in the study, but it was like a bedroom. He thought about it,
Wild rumors say that the Prince Regent has a very weak constitution and is sick all the year round and needs to recuperate, so seeing him in the bedroom may not be a big surprise.
The furnishings here made him vaguely feel familiar.
Chi Yan glanced at the hibiscus bed with the golden gauze hanging down from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, recalling that here and Ye Yingzhi took him with him every time they finished getting him in the prison.
The same place he went back to!
Chi Yan realized something in an instant, and at this moment, a familiar and cold voice sounded behind his ears, and at the same time a faint cool air enveloped him,
Ye Yingzhi didn't know when he would appear, so he gently hugged him from behind, branded a kiss on his left temple, and said with a chuckle, "Having been a couple for so long, Ayan doesn't know if he is a husband and named Heng. , welcome him?"
Ye Heng, King Heng... Ye Yingzhi was actually the regent of the dynasty? !
Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, recalling what happened along the way, the old housekeeper who sent him over clearly had a shadow, and there has never been a prince regent in the whole court.
Rumors of death... Then Ye Yingzhi... is he a human or a ghost? Or that he has already deceived the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world? !
He trembled and turned to look at Ye Yingzhi. The other side was handsome and pale, and there was a hint of blue air on his lips. His eyes were bottomless and his body was cold. Even in the noon sun, he was the only one on the soles of their feet. Not to mention the things Ye Yingzhi had done... To say that he is a human being, Chi Yan would not believe it anyway.
Then it can only be explained that he is dead, but the news of his death has not been disclosed, and Ye Yingzhi himself is too powerful, not only can he be good
To live in this world can even deceive everyone.
Chi Yan's mind changed sharply, but Ye Yingzhi didn't care about it, just grabbed Chi Yan's wrist and pressed him to the sandalwood table in front of him regardless. His family Ayandu
Babadi personally delivered it to the door, there is no reason why he should not enjoy it.
Chi Yan was thinking about something in his heart, but he ignored Ye Yingzhi's actions for a while, and by the time he reacted, it was already over, so he could only struggle for a while symbolically.
Going down, he asked vaguely like a whimper: "So what did you call me here to do..."
Ye Yingzhi took a bite on his collarbone, darkened his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Of course I asked you to be the princess..."
…
Of course, other places are not as neat as his own site. Compared with the palace, the official residence Chi Yan temporarily rented also seemed too cramped and shabby.
Anyway, the identity has been completely exposed, Ye Yingzhi thinks that he is not enjoying himself, so he has to come to his palace for a late banquet.
How dare Chi Yan resist him. In the past, I was afraid that he was not a person in the world, but now I put that aside, the so-called "official level crushes people", Ye Yingzhi is not only a ghost, but also a ghost with high power, and he can manage Chi Yan's seven. As a sesame official, Chi Yan of course had to obey his wishes.
It's just that entering the palace every day will inevitably cause criticism. Chi Yan didn't dare to easily reveal his relationship with Ye Yingzhi to the public, so in order to obstruct people's eyes and ears,
Often, after leaving the yamen, they first returned to their own residence, then slipped out through the back door and took a sedan chair to the palace, and entered through the back door of the palace. When it is time to go to the yamen the next day, then go back to your home in this order, pack up and go to the yamen from the front door of your home.
But there is no wall that does not reveal the wind, not to mention the identity of the regent, and there may be many eyes staring at him secretly.
As a result, there were rumors that it was a small official named Chi Yan from the Ministry of Household, who voluntarily sacrificed himself in order to cling to the powerful and became a squat in the regent's tent.
pet.
Originally, this rumor was not believed by many people, but it was not because they thought that the officials of the imperial court could not do such a thing—even most of the people who heard about it did not know who Chi Yan was, but they thought that the prince regent could not do such a thing. It's easy to get people into the account.
until once.
Hu Jian, the servant of the Ministry of Household, was a member of the Yun family, and the original Minister of the Household was also a member of the Yun family, but because of the last loss of the Ministry of Household case, the Minister of the Household was caught together, convicted and investigated, and distributed to the frontier. It was King Heng who was in charge, so the Yun family dared not to speak out. The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Housing is not a partisan of the Yun family. He is cautious and moderate as an official. Naturally, Hu Jian is not as good as a duck in water and a powerful force in the Ministry of Household.
Hu Jian, who was in the Ministry of Housing, knew all about what happened at the time. He hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do about King Heng and his new chief. Knowing that
The Yun family also resented the surname Chi, so they put their anger on Chi Yan. Prime Minister Yun specially told them not to cause trouble recently, and he wouldn't do it very obviously, but after all, he has been an official for more than 20 years, and there are many small tricks to quietly toss people. .
Chi Yan happened to be under this Hu Shilang, and he arranged a lot of trivial and disgusting tasks, but the time was still very tight. The account book of the Ministry of Accounts cannot be brought out
In the government office, he had to check the accounts every morning when he left. He didn't even have time to eat or drink water. He often left in a hurry until the curfew.
Mrs. Chi was naturally dissatisfied when he came home late. But Chi Yan didn't want to make him troublesome, so Ye Yingzhi forcibly restrained himself, but after enduring it twice
I can't help it.
This day, Chi Yan was working in the yali again. It was time for the Chinese New Year soon. The others went back early these days, only Chi Yan stayed late. Also today
As usual, before the next ya, the officials in the ya ya have already thought about it.
Hu Jian's office is in the main room, Chi Yan and the other three work in the east room, and Shang Shu and other officials are in other places. This time only see
Bu Shangshu walked in with a middle-aged man dressed as an eunuch. The eunuch had a kind-hearted face, a chubby white face, and everyone had a three-pointed smile, but anyone with a little knowledge at the scene knew that this person was not an ordinary person—his name was Fu Hai, when King Heng was still a prince, he served with King Heng. Later, King Heng left the palace to recuperate, but he was left in the palace. It is said that after the emperor ascended the throne, he was very oppressed in the palace, but he endured it all. Until now, King Heng regained power, and his status in the palace also rose with the tide, and he became the most powerful chief eunuch in the palace.
Anyone with discernment knows that this person is the confidant of the Prince Regent.
The people who were in the same room as Chi Yan knew that Chi Yan was new and had no background, so they didn't know most of the things, so they came over and secretly explained to him.
This Fu Hai is the regent's person, and he can't easily offend him.
Chi Yan's heart trembled when he heard that this man was Ye Yingzhi's subordinate.
Although the day was already westward, it could still be seen that there was a shadow at the feet of this eunuch, and he was a living person.
Even if he knew that most of the little devils under Ye Yingzhi would not dare to harm him, Chi Yan couldn't help but feel anxious every time he came into contact with them.
At this time, Hu Jian also rushed out to greet him, but Fu Hai commanded the little eunuch beside him to push open the door of the east wing as if he had already figured out everything.
The calligraphy said: "I am in charge of the affairs of the palace, and I have nothing to do with the affairs of the adults, so I am not here for any official business, that is, Lord Chi has been tired for days, and His Royal Highness Prince Heng feels sorry for Lord Chi, and wants me to give some nourishment to the body. soup."
Everyone present was shocked. They all know who Fuhai is. If Fuhai said that King Daiheng came to deliver the soup, it could never be a fake.
If you say distressed? King Heng and Chi Yan have no relationship and no reason, so why should they feel distressed
Thinking back to the previous rumors, everyone understood in their hearts.
Shang Shu felt even more frustrated in his heart. He is the highest officer in this household, and he naturally knows what Hu Jian is doing, but he has always been moderate.
Acknowledging that there is no need to offend Hu Jian and the Yun family for a petty official under him, he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, but he did not expect to offend the Prince Regent! His Royal Highness Prince Heng had sent the chief eunuch around him to do this, and he must have been very dissatisfied in his heart.
After Fu Hai delivered the soup to Chi Yan, he left with a smile, but who would dare to leave Chi Yan in the Yali this time? He didn't dare to leave unless he left the Shangshu.
Chi Yan had no choice but to leave, but he always felt that the way others looked at him were different.
Ye Yingzhi made such a move, although Chi Yan was a little annoyed, but it was not easy to attack the other party, because he felt that Ye Yingzhi was for his own good, so
After returning home, Chi Yan didn't mention it, and everything was the same as before except that he went home earlier.
Until this matter spread more and more widely, even Xu Feng ran to him in disbelief to confirm the authenticity of the news. Those officials in the DPRK and China didn't know, and when they saw
He would always politely say hello, and the treatment was completely different from before.
Chi Yan couldn't help but complained when Ye Yingzhi held down and bullied him again that night: "...I am now in the eyes of my colleagues, and I have become a fortunate servant of Israel."
Ye Yingzhi hurriedly coaxed him: "Where is there an Israeli servant in Ah Yan, it is clearly me who serves the servant in Israel. Where does Lord Chi need to serve me, but I have to do my best to serve Lord Chi every day."
Chi Yan was embarrassed and annoyed by his rambling words, and even his eyes were red.
Ye Yingzhi only felt pity and love when he saw it, and he didn't dare to say nonsense. He hugged Chi Yan in his arms and kissed and kissed, and finally pondered for a moment: "Ayan, in the current situation, I'm going to marry you, I'm afraid that The courtiers will not agree. Now that the matter has come, we simply open up our relationship and tell them that you are the princess that Ye Yingzhi is marrying, is this okay?"
Of course Chi Yan didn't agree to make it public, but Ye Yingzhi didn't speak any more, just hugged him and gave a low laugh.
However, Chi Yan will soon be able to temporarily avoid gossip and rumors in the capital, because he has a total of 18 days for the Spring Festival holiday this year and the family leave for ancestor worship.
Take advantage of the New Year's time to go back home.
Chi Yan originally did not want to go back, but he entered the imperial court in high school and became an official. In the eyes of the clan elders, it is a great event to honor the ancestors, and he must come back to worship the ancestors. What's more, he got married and married a wife outside by himself, and according to the rules, he also had to bring his wife back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Chi Yan has no feelings for his father and stepmother, but he studied in Zongxue since he was a child. Later, he mainly relied on the support of his clan to study and study.
Not an ungrateful person, several clan elders wrote letters one after another asking him to go back, and he had to go back even if he didn't want to.
There was only one thing he was worried about, so Chi Yan deliberately served Ye Yingyi well before leaving, and then asked the other party when he was in a good mood.
Said: "I have already told the clan Xiushu that I am married to a male wife, so this time you can just follow me when you go back. If someone embarrassed you or treated you disrespectfully, you should take it seriously for my sake. Some, I will stand up for you."
Ye Yingzhi wasn't satisfied at first, but after hearing that Chi Yan would come forward for him, he felt better, so he gave a light reply to save face.
However, the scene on the day of departure was beyond Chi Yan's expectations. In his original arrangement, it should be a light cart, two carriages, and two carriages.
Husband, only Ye Yingzhi, himself, Uncle Zheng and two attendants accompanied him.
Unexpectedly, a team of horses appeared outside the palace that day, three large carriages, the middle one was made of fine red sandalwood and decorated with gold and jade.
There is a fine wool felt curtain hanging outside, which looks very noble. Outside the carriage, there were more than a dozen guards who rode on black high-headed horses, wearing jackets, with extraordinary momentum. In front of and behind the convoy, there were more than 20 cavalry guards standing by.
Chi Yan looked at Ye Yingzhi in surprise, and Ye Yingzhi also looked at him quietly and said, "Don't be naive, Ah Yan, the regent and the princess return to their hometown to worship their ancestors and visit relatives.
The road is high and the road is far, and bandits are rampant. You and I have different identities. How can it be regarded as a child's play. "
Chi Yan was blocked by him and was speechless, and felt that Ye Yingzhi's words really made sense, so he accepted the other party's arrangement. But he forgot that his family, King Heng, even
People are not counted, and they are afraid of bandits and bandits.
Chi Yan only felt as if she was being stunned again, and walked onto the carriage with Ye Ying in a daze, being bullied by him, occasionally resisting, and then tired
After he fell asleep, he didn't realize one thing until he woke up again. He looked at Ye Yingzhi and said, "You, are you going back with me as King Heng?"
Ye Yingzhi said as a matter of course: "Of course, otherwise, where would I have a second identity? How can I explain my background to your family?"
Chi Yan was speechless, but Ye Yingzhi continued to educate him earnestly: "Marriage is a major event in life, does A Yan still want to hide our relationship for the rest of his life?"
Chi Yan thought to himself that there is still life in your old man's life, but in the end he didn't say much.
