Xiao Zongchang said: "You are right. He won over Jiang Liang, the scholar of Wenhua Palace, Wen Xiang, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Chen Zhang, the general of Guangdong and Guangxi, and others... Now these people have followed his lead. His current team has already

It’s very thick, and he took advantage of this opportunity to patrol the Yangtze River to interfere in military affairs and promoted a large number of subordinates in the south of the Yangtze River, but he... did not inform us about this!"

Xiao Zongsheng frowned and said: "These old guys are all cunning and cunning. How did Your Highness... get them together? It only took more than half a year!" How much effort and money the Xiao family has spent over the years, it's all gone.

I was pushed back by these old guys as if they were doing Tai Chi.

Xiao Zongchang said: "This means that the name is not correct and the words are not correct!"

Xiao Zongsheng expressed his understanding. Each of these people is a big boss in the court who holds real power. The Xiao family extends an olive branch, but they may not necessarily be willing to succumb to the Xiao family. But Ye Minyu is different. If the day can be changed, he will be the future.

Emperor. Even political speculation is worth taking a risk.

Xiao Zongchang finally sighed and concluded: "Looking at His Highness's behavior over the past six months, he has already become quite the demeanor of Emperor Taizong back then!" After saying this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

Xiao Zongsheng also agreed very much; "I didn't expect that the current emperor is so stupid and incompetent that he could raise such a son..." The bad bamboos produced good bamboo shoots. They underestimated Ye Minyu at first. "Looking back, it was all because I was too hasty at the beginning, too.

He is a little too greedy and wants him to marry the daughter of the Xiao family. Apart from Qian'er, is there anyone else with that kind of status who is worthy of His Highness..."

It was the established policy of the Xiao family to marry the daughter of the Xiao family to Zhao Wang Ye Minyu, but there were some doubts about the selection. It turned out that Xiao Zongchang did not think highly of Xiao Yunqian and thought she was too domineering. It was just that Xiao Zongsheng's old wife loved her granddaughter. Xiao Zongsheng

She also felt that as long as Xiao Yunqian gave birth to a son, it didn't really matter whether she and Ye Minyu really had feelings for each other.

To get married, it is not necessary to have a good relationship between the two surnames. It is enough as long as they respect each other as guests and Ye Minyu is willing to give his head wife some dignity.

He also thought that Concubine Xiao was Xiao Yunqian's direct aunt, and with Concubine Xiao as the mediator, the young couple would not get into a fight.

But no one expected that Xiao Yunqian's destructive power was so great! He could actually reveal such a big loophole!

Marrying Xiao Yunqian to Ye Minyu is not a marriage, but an enmity!

Xiao Zongchang and Xiao Zongsheng also regretted it. They knew in their hearts that most of the reason why Ye Minyu was estranged from the Xiao family was because of this unhappy marriage.

Xiao Zongchang sighed; "It's useless to talk about this now. Let's see how to repair the relationship between us and His Highness!"

Xiao Zongsheng said: "That matter of marrying off the twelfth sister of the fifth family..."

"Don't mention this matter again." Xiao Zongchang quickly objected: "His Highness is a soft-spoken person and he has already suffered a loss in this matter. You will definitely not marry the Twelfth Sister again.

Come on..." Xiao Zongchang quickly tapped the back of the chair with his fingers: "Sister Twelve, we must seize the time to find a match for her and get her married! To show the attitude of our Xiao family! We can no longer interfere with His Highness's marriage!

"

Xiao Zongsheng hesitated for a moment and asked someone with the blood of the Xiao family to succeed him as the next emperor. This was an irresistible temptation for the Xiao family.

"Is the Xiao family going to keep showing weakness like this?"

Xiao Zongchang patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Having lived to such an old age, are there some things that you still haven't figured out? Sometimes showing weakness is also a strategy! He always has the blood of the Xiao family in him. As long as we are at the critical moment,

If you are willing to stand up and help him, he will remember us when he takes office."

"The top priority is to repair the relationship with His Highness! It's time to restrain these nephews as well..."

Regarding Xiao Yunqian's death, the Xiao family did not raise any objection. Ye Minyu said that Xiao Yunqian died of a sudden illness, and the Xiao family accepted it completely. Although some people in Beijing thought that Xiao Yunqian's death was strange, the victim did not speak out.

Let's forget it after discussing it for a few days.

The death of Prince Zhao is a big event. There are rules for handling funeral arrangements. The Xiao family sent a few temperamental and soft-tempered people to express their condolences. Ye Minyu felt quite satisfied when she saw that the Xiao family was relatively decent.

.

Because Xiao Yunqian had done several top-notch things before, which had already been heard by Heaven, and even the Emperor was very displeased, so the Zongren Mansion drafted several posthumous titles, and when they were presented to the Emperor for review, they were immediately withheld by the Emperor.

Already.

It is not impossible to be buried directly without a posthumous title, but the Xiao family will lose a lot of face. A goddaughter's reputation for being incompetent cannot escape.

Seeing that the Xiao family behaved well, Ye Minyu went to the emperor in person and said a few good words for Xiao Yunqian. Finally, the emperor gave her a posthumous title of "Zhenjing".

Ye Minzhao is now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he has to handle many matters for Xiao Yunqian's funeral. When he told Concubine Hui about this matter, Concubine Hui sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that the fourth prince has been practicing for several years.

, I also know the principle of being able to bend and stretch!”

Ye Minzhao thought about it and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. But no, Ye Minyu was no longer the reckless young man who pointed a bow and arrow at him and wanted to shoot him to death just for an eagle.

"Zhenjing!" In the Jin Palace, Yulan and Ye Yichen were studying Xiao Yunqian's posthumous title. "The emperor gave such a posthumous title, isn't it really ironic?"

As for Xiao Yunqian's virtue, it really has nothing to do with these two words!

Xiao Yunqian will be buried for seven or forty-nine days before being buried in a grand ceremony! As an elder and pregnant with a child, Yu Lan naturally does not need to pay homage, but Ye Yichen went to Prince Zhao's Mansion to pay homage to his nephew-in-law.

A stick of incense.

When Ye Yichen came back, he told Yulan what he had seen and heard in Prince Zhao's Mansion. But he didn't expect Yulan, who had always been gentle, to say such a harsh word. "Pfft!" Ye Yichen was drinking tea, and all the tea came out.

Sprinkled it on the front.

Yulan was startled, and turned over to get to the ground. Ye Yichen was startled, and ran over to hold her down: "Lie down well, what are you doing here! I will call the maid for these things myself! I was shocked.

What to do with the child?"

Ever since she found out that Yulan was pregnant, Ye Yichen was very nervous and careful. He was afraid that she might have fetal force, so he told her to lie down all day long and not allowed to do anything. Yulan was almost suffocated to death!

Yulan complained: "Your Majesty, I'm almost getting moldy by lying like this every day!"

Ye Yichen stared at her and threatened her: "Even if it's moldy! You have to lie down for me honestly!"

He personally called the maid, and Xiaoyue stood under the eaves outside. When she heard the summons, she came in immediately. Usually when Ye Yichen was around, Yulan didn't like having a maid around, and everyone gradually came to know her preference.

So on weekdays, when Ye Yichen is around, there is no one in this room.

Xiaoyue waited on Ye Yichen and changed her clothes before bowing her head and going out.

Ye Yichen sat on the couch. Yu Lan was concerned about another question: "How is Duan who fell into the water doing now?"

Ye Yichen said: "She drank the imperial doctor's medicine and she woke up! But the child in her belly was long gone. Moreover, the imperial doctor said that she was pregnant, and the cold air entered her body and hurt her body. I'm afraid she would have to stay in bed for the rest of her life.

It’s impossible to get pregnant again!”

Yu Lan felt a pity in her heart. "What a pitiful person!" Thinking of the child in her belly, she felt even more heartbroken!

Ye Yichen was unhappy when he saw her: "Why do you care so much about other people's family affairs? It won't affect your good mood!"

Just as she was talking, Qian's mother came in with a cup of millet porridge. When she saw the prince here, she felt a meal at her feet. Now Yulan vomits whatever she eats. Sometimes she even feels like vomiting when she smells the smell of clean water.

After becoming pregnant, not only did I not put on weight, but I actually lost some weight. Ye Yichen seemed to be in a hurry. I went to see Dr. Bai and the imperial physician, and they both said it was a normal reaction during pregnancy. Ye Yichen was also worried and had no solution.

She could only spend more time with Yulan. Talking and laughing with her, she forgot about the discomfort of pregnancy.

Yulan couldn't eat anything. She could only drink some rice porridge and eat some vegetables every day. Fortunately, she was in a cheerful mood. For the sake of the child in her belly, she would eat after she vomited it out, so she had to eat seven or eight meals a day, so this was not enough.

Before it was time to eat, Qian’s mother came in with a cup.

Yulan said: "Mom, take it down first, I will eat it later!"

After Qian's mother hesitated for a moment, Ye Yichen had already glared at her: "It's all done, how can I carry it on again?"

Yulan rolled her eyes at him. It was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. He was not a kind person. Didn't she feel that she didn't want to eat alone, and it was boring for Ye Yichen to sit next to her!

I actually blame her.

Ye Yichen said: "Mom, please give the cup to me!"

Qian's mother was a little stunned when she heard this. Ye Yichen didn't allow her to think too much. He stood up and took the cup of millet porridge from her hand. He sat back next to Yu Lan.

He scooped out a spoonful and tested the temperature. It was slightly hot, so he blew it with his mouth, and then said to the stunned Yulan, "Open your mouth!"

Yu Lan had some food to eat: "Your Majesty... you'd better ask Mama Qian to serve me some food!"

Ye Yichen smiled and joked: "What, are you afraid that I won't be able to feed you? Let me tell you, when I was fighting in the northwest, I gave medicine to many brothers! Come on, open your mouth!"

Yu Lan felt moved in her heart, is it true that the prince really cares for people?

Just looking at Qian's mother like this, she actually felt a little ashamed and her face was burning.

But Qian's mother was already laughing so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes. She was really happy that Ye Yichen was good to Yulan. Without any instructions, Qian's mother came out of the room quietly.

Yulan took two bites from his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'd better get up and eat, it's too strenuous for you!"

Ye Yichen had both hands occupied, so he stopped her with his eyes: "Just lie down, that's it, it will be over soon!"

After all, he fed her herself and finished eating. Ye Yichen called the maid to take the cup back, and asked someone to get warm water for Yu Lan to clean her hands and wipe her face.

He also washed his hands, and after the maids withdrew, he sat down next to Yulan again and asked, "Do you still want to vomit?"

Maybe it was because the prince fed him with his own hands, but Yulan's stomach was very full and he had no intention of vomiting at all.

He smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, I don't want to vomit at all."

Ye Yichen looked at the little person in front of him and felt warm in his heart when he thought that she was carrying his child.

Ye Yichen also became happy. He stretched out his hand and pinched the woman's pointed chin, and said sadly: "I heard that other women will gain weight after getting pregnant. Why have you become thinner and thinner after raising you for so long?"

No? No! I have to ask Manager Ma to find some good cooks later!"

Hearing what he said, Yulan was startled. She whispered, "Your Majesty, I heard people say that pregnant women won't be so happy after three months! Just leave one for the restaurant in the capital.

Stay alive!" During this period, the prince recruited almost all the famous chefs in the capital to come to the palace!

It has greatly hindered the development of the catering industry in Beijing!

Ye Yichen felt slightly relieved when he saw that no matter how unwell she was, her mood was always cheerful and optimistic.

After chatting for a while, Yu Lan got down to business with him. "Now that I'm pregnant, I can't teach Brother Wen any more. Do you think we should find him a gentleman with better character and let Brother Wen help him?"
