After lunch, Yulan took a half-hour lunch break in the guest room of Fayuan Temple. It was getting late, so the family headed back home.

Ye Yichen and Yu Lan took a car back. When they got in the car, Ye Yichen said, "Brother Wen is still young, so don't be angry with him." After the incident was over, he regretted it somewhat. He got carried away and had to let go.

Ye Minwen chose between him and Yulan.

He could see how good Yulan was to Ye Minwen, so it was not unexpected that Ye Minwen chose him, but he was really afraid of hurting Yulan's heart.

Yu Lan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Are you as young as a concubine? Brother Wen is six years old and he understands many things. You are his biological father and I am his stepmother.

, to choose one between the two, it would be weird if he chose me. Blood ties cannot be severed!"

Ye Yichen slowly held Yulan in his arms and kissed her temple: "My wife is such a generous and good woman!"

Yulan's scalp itched and he giggled. While hiding, he said with a smile: "Now the prince knows what I am doing!"

Ye Yichen leaned on the carriage very relaxedly, letting Yulan lean on his chest, and said in a calm voice: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Yulan didn't understand for a moment: "What?"

Ye Yichen reached out and pinched her smooth face, "I mean, I lost the competition just now. Didn't you want me to promise you three things? Tell me!"

The man's eyes sparkled, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he looked at her quietly.

Yulan said unconvinced: "What do you mean by 'you lose'? It's you who lost!"

Ye Yichen shook his head helplessly; "I don't see it, but you are quite competitive! Okay, I lost, tell me what you want and listen to me!"

Yulan just mentioned the three conditions casually, and when she was asked to think about it, she couldn't think of it at the moment, so she said mischievously to Ye Yichen: "I can't think of it now, let me think of it and tell you later!"

The young couple were chatting with each other, but they didn't know that Ye Minzhao was so angry after seeing their motorcade that they returned to the Forbidden City. Ye Minzhao did not go to Jingyang Palace, but went directly to the martial arts field.

He played with eighteen kinds of weapons until he was so tired that he lay down on the ground.

Xiao Hanzi and Yu Zi were so anxious that Ye Minzhao ate a few chopsticks of pork head meat, and now he is still hungry. Xiao Hanzi stepped forward and reminded him, "My lord, you are still hungry, so you can't ruin yourself like this."

The bones of your body!”

Ye Minzhao's eyes were bloodshot, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he almost cut off Xiao Hanzhi: "Get out of my way, my king!"

He exuded a violent and terrifying aura, and even the two personal eunuchs who grew up with him were too afraid to get close.

Before returning to the palace, he finally couldn't hold himself back and took the eunuchs and guards to Fayuan Temple to have a look from a distance.

He saw the goddess in his mind being helped out of the car by another man. Yu Lan was in high spirits, stroking her belly with her hands happily, while Ye Yichen half held her in his arms and whispered in her ear.

.

The golden boy and the beautiful girl look so well matched!

Ye Minzhao's heart was bleeding. Concubine Hui told him to wait, but he didn't know how long he had to wait. If he waited any longer, he was afraid that he would suffocate to death.

Ye Minzhao didn't know how he returned to Jingyang Palace. He took a bath in the tub, changed into a fine gauze Taoist robe, and sat down on the kang near the window before his soul finally came back.

.

People are also awake.

Little Hanzi picked up a plate of snacks and tiptoed to the door to peek. Only then did Ye Minzhao realize that he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he almost had stars in his eyes.

Only then did he remember that he had not eaten well for two meals. He only had a few bites of breakfast and not a bite of lunch. He spent all his time in the martial arts field.

He waved to Xiao Hanzhi to come in, and he devoured the snacks he handed over. Xiao Hanzhi looked on with fear, fearing that he would choke.

Seeing that Ye Minzhao had finished eating, he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over. Ye Minzhao took it, but did not drink it. He just used the bowl lid to gently stir the tea leaves, but his eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a sparkle in them.

The light of man.

Little Hanzi knew that when the young prince showed such an attitude, someone would be in trouble.

In fact, Ye Minzhao decided to do something when he was eating snacks just now. If he didn't do something, he doubted that he would go crazy.

Ye Minzhao made up his mind, put the tea cup on the Kang table, and told the little Hanzi: "Change my clothes immediately, I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Taking charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the first job in his life. It was indeed a bit stumbling at the beginning. The minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs bullied him because of his young age.

Those who crossed the stumbling block were dealt with by him one by one.

In the beginning, he still needed Concubine Hui's advice, but later on, he was able to do it with ease. This was due to his keen eye that could see through people's hearts. This was completely inherited from his mother, and no matter how superb the acting skills of the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were,

Don't even think you can hide it from him.

Moreover, he also has a sensitivity beyond ordinary people in dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, which allows him to deal with various problems like a fish in water. Concubine Hui once said that he is born to be a superior person. Ye Minzhao has always been convinced of this.

No doubt.

Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has become his private residence. Not only has he managed several ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be obedient, but he has also subdued a large number of loyal followers through both soft and hard tactics. He can do a lot for him by just following his orders.

Things that cannot be put on the table.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just a small experiment for him, the place where his dream begins. In the future, he will have a higher starting point and a bigger stage. Sooner or later, he will hold the whole world in his hands.

Not long after returning from Fayuan Temple, someone came in and reported that the eldest young master's study in the outer courtyard had been tidied up. A study was built for the eldest young master in the courtyard next to the prince's outer study, called Mingsitang.

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, Yulan asked Ye Yichen: "When are you going to invite Mr. Meng over?"

"It's been a few days! I originally wanted to invite Mr. Meng over in early March, but it has been dry these past two days, and Mr. Meng suddenly got a cough. He has to recover from the illness." Ye Yichen was also a little depressed.

Yu Lan quickly asked: "What kind of disease does Mr. have? Can someone check it out?"

Ye Yichen said: "I have sent Doctor Bai to diagnose and treat him. He has been prescribed a prescription and he will be cured in a few days!"

Yulan was still worried, so she invited Dr. Bai in, asked the doctor through the screen, and then asked the woman in charge of the pharmacy to open the pharmacy and sent a lot of medicinal materials to Mr. Meng.

He also discussed with Ye Yichen about Ye Minwen's accompanying students. Ye Yichen said: "I have already chosen the students to accompany Brother Wen. There are four people in total, and they are all about the same age as Brother Wen."

The husband was a foreigner and it was hard to see each other, and the students who accompanied him were all children, so Yulan called him in to take a look. The parents of these children were officials under Ye Yichen's family. They sent the children here, although they would inevitably suffer some hardships in other people's homes.

, but if you can study and study with the future Prince of Jin, can your future future be any worse?

Therefore, it is said that the competition outside for these four places is fierce. Yulan has also received many posts from the wives of military officers and civil servants. They probably want to take the wife route. Fortunately, she used the excuse of raising a child to have a baby.

No. Otherwise she would be annoyed to death.

The four selected families heard that the princess wanted to see the child, so they asked someone to bring the child in without saying a word.

Four little boys, the older one was seven years old and the younger one was five years old, were well dressed and looked very energetic. They came in followed by their respective maids and nannies. They knelt down and kowtowed to Yulan, making milky sounds in their mouths.

He shouted angrily: "See the princess!"

Yulan had read their information and found that the four children were all legitimate sons, and some were the eldest sons. Three were children from military generals' families, and one was from a civil servant's family. Not to mention their appearance, they were all smart and sensible.

Yulan's heart softened when she saw it, so she asked the maids to help them up quickly, brought them little lobsters and told them to sit down, and also asked someone to bring snacks and fruits for them to eat.

Yulan sat at the top, with a gentle attitude and a friendly smile. She asked one by one: What are their names? What do their parents do? Have you read any books... Yulan already knew this information. She wanted to see these four children.

reaction.

She was not disappointed. Although these children were young, they all spoke clearly. Except for the complicated questions, they could answer everything fluently. Yulan felt relieved.

She asked Ye Minwen to take them to the back garden to play together. Ye Minwen had been standing next to her just now, looking at the four little boys about the same age as herself, his eyes filled with excitement. But he had restrained himself from running away immediately.

Go up and talk to them.

Yu Lan couldn't help but secretly nodded, and Ye Minwen started to become sensible.

The little boys were also secretly looking at Ye Minwen.

Yulan called Ye Minwen to come over and said, "Concubine I am a little tired, can you help me entertain the four little guests?"

Ye Minwen nodded vigorously: "Concubine, don't worry!"

Yulan smiled and nodded: "Well, you take the children to the back garden to play! You are the master. Remember to be humble and don't bully your brothers and sisters, do you understand?"

He told Ye Minwen not to bully the other children. As for these four children bullying Ye Minwen? I guess their parents had taught them at home, and they were not so courageous!

After receiving her mother's instructions, Ye Minwen bowed solemnly and then happily took her four children to the back garden. A group of women and maids hurriedly followed.

Yulan called Xiaoyu again: "Go and take a look. If something happens, send the little maid in to report it to me!"

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, Yulan was full of praise for the four children: "... They are all smart and sensible. I played with Brother Wen all afternoon and we were able to play together!"

Her purpose is to find some playmates for Ye Minwen, so that Ye Minwen will not be too lonely and grow up among wet nurses and maids, which is obviously very detrimental to the child's growth.

Ye Yichen thought more deeply. These four children were carefully selected by him. Behind each child is a powerful family, and each child has a high status in their respective clans.

If Ye Minwen can gather his four children, it will be extremely helpful for him to take over his own power in the future.

It should be said that he was thinking more long-term. But because he didn't know whether the child in Yulan's belly was a boy or a girl, Ye Yichen first felt a little sorry for the mother and child.

A few days later, before Mr. Meng recovered from his illness, another maid fell ill in Ye Minwen's house. This time, it was Ting Xiang, the eldest maid next to him.

Since Qi was punished to go to the Buddhist temple, Ye Minwen moved to the main courtyard to live with Yulan. Yulan saw that the nanny around Ye Minwen was neat and tidy, so she promoted her to be the mother in charge of Ye Minwen's house, letting her take charge of it.

Looking at the maids and women in the house.

The wet nurse didn't dare to be careless after knowing this, and immediately reported to Yulan.

Yulan felt a headache, and asked with a solemn face: "What is going on? Have you asked a doctor to take a look? Have you taken the medicine?"

The wet nurse said: "Tingxiang's illness is strange this time. First, her mother was ill. She is a slave in the mansion who gave birth to a child. My mother and I were both in the village. My predecessor went back to the village. She was fine when she returned.

I developed a fever and cough when I came back..."

Yulan thought to herself, could it be that she was infected by her mother?
To be continued...
